EMC news – The sky is literally falling at the Pinecrest Recreation Complex on Tourquay Avenue. Residents were informed last week that swimming classes have been cancelled at the complex until Nov. 1. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said one of the staff members noticed a roof tile dangling, and upon further inspection they saw several other tiles were displaced. The Leslie Park Community Association put out a call to council and the mayor on Sept. 26 asking how the complex was going to handle the inﬂux of new residents from nearby Brigil, Phoenix and Greatwise developments if the recreation centre is already falling apart. “It’s a big concern when thousands of people will be moving into the area,” said Chris Becker, vice-president of the community association.

EMC news - From computers to cupcakes, new Canadians have become Ottawa’s entrepreneurs. Newcomers to Canada who hope to become business owners received a large dose of inspiration at a networking event hosted by Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar and the Ottawa Public Library on Sept. 25. More than 150 people travelled to Ben Franklin Place in Nepean to learn about starting a business.

Glow Beauty Spa owner Jean Naim, right, chats with would-be entrepreneurs following a Sept. 25 panel discussion about starting a business. Naim said she sometimes felt overwhelmed by her work but has seen sales grow while gaining plenty of experience.

FIVE START-UPS

A panel of ﬁve entrepreneurs – all newcomers to Canada at some point – gave advice and answered questions from an audience that seemed to hang on every word.

Common themes were passion for the chosen ﬁeld of work and the support of family, along with thorough research prior to a business launch. Claudia Arizmendi of the Cupcake Lounge moved to Ottawa from Mexico in 1994. She started baking part-time at home and decided to switch to full-time. She attended Algonquin College to learn the culinary skills she’d need. Arizmendi said she started gathering information and had her business plan reviewed by what is now Invest Ottawa and made the changes the experts suggested. With the help of a loan, the Cupcake Lounge opened in 2011 in the Byward Market. “We broke all projections,” Arizmendi said, adding the shop has 15 employees and served 50,000 customers last year. Her advice: “Go back to school if you need to. Have your plan reviewed and make changes.” See NEWCOMERS on page 2

The event was aimed at new Canadians because Dewar’s ofﬁce noticed so many newcomers tend to search for the same information. “We were getting the same requests over and over,” Dewar said. “Usually we send them to the resources and then we thought, ‘Let’s pull these people together and show them what’s available.’” The city’s hub for business questions and answers is Invest Ottawa, but the evening’s would-be entrepreneurs also had a chance to chart with representatives of micro-loan programs, local and federal organizations and the library. Visitors heard a few success stories from people who, like them, once dreamed of starting their own business.

Newcomers’ stories as varied as the people Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward

Continued from page 1

Dear Neighbours, This month marks the half-way point in my term in office. It has been a long time coming but together we are once again taking serious steps to renew and rebuild our community. I want to share with you some of the improvements we have made together over the last two years. CRIME IS DOWN Bay Ward is becoming a safer place to live, thanks to the hard work of Crime Prevention Ottawa, the Ottawa Police Service, community and neighbourhood watch groups, and individual residents. Crimes against the person and crimes against property decreased by 27 per cent, according to a study conducted for Crime Prevention Ottawa by independent researchers. MORE LOCAL JOBS I have made economic development in Bay Ward one of my top three priorities during my term of office. We have overcome several years of delay and taken a number of steps to help Bayshore Shopping Centre move forward on their renovation plan. Expanding Bayshore will create over 400 new, permanent jobs in Bay Ward. Bay Ward has seen more job creation since I took office, and we will see more. Including Bayshore’s redevelopment, the Fairlawn Plaza redevelopment at Carling and Fairlawn Avenue, and my continued work to revitalize Carling Avenue between Pinecrest Road and Bayshore Drive we will be creating more local jobs for residents of all ages. DECREASED SPEEDING Speeding is one of the most common concerns I hear from residents. Together, we have slowed down traffic by conducting speeding awareness campaigns and by decreasing the maximum speed limit on several residential roads across Bay Ward. With the help of the Ottawa Police and community associations, we conducted slow-down campaigns on Lockhart Avenue in the Carlingwood neighbourhood, Lenester Avenue in Glabar Park and Woodridge Crescent in Bayshore. We received lots of positive feedback from residents in these communities who were pleased to see more drivers obeying the speed limit. The maximum speed limit on Riddell Avenue North, Regina Lane and Richlin Crescent have all decreased by 10 kilometers per hour to make these streets safer for drivers and pedestrians. I have also acted to protect the safety of some of our most vulnerable children by installing a flashing safety and speed beacon outside of the Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education.

Xuening Chen arrived here from China and worked in high-tech before starting a retail computer business in 1990. He sold that company in 2006. Between those years he learned that his then-limited English communications skills made it critical to find a local partner who could approach corporate customers, and sales to companies eventually eclipsed retail sales to individual consumers. Columbian émigré Jaime Baquero said he has been successful because he works on something he is passionate about: coral reefs. In order to succeed in Canada, Baquero said he needed to learn English and French, so took work in retail. Once he could better communicate with his fellow Canadians, he volunteered with a group that protects reefs and has since made a living by starting a company that maintains aquariums.

“Canada is a country of opportunities,” Baquero said. “The key is passion and the support of your family.” Baquero also preached conservative economics to any future entrepreneur.

learned what helps their customers. Ottawa’ libraries have also developed programs that can help newcomers, such as workshops on English conversation and career development.

Dewar said the networking event successfully matched people with the information they need if they decide to go into business for themselves. “It’s not just about different levels of government putting out programs, but making sure they make sense,” he said. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson encouraged visitors to get in touch with Invest Ottawa; what he called one-stop shopping for businesspeople. The office at 80 Aberdeen St. can provide advice and arrange contacts within the provincial and federal governments. Invest Ottawa can be contacted at investottawa.ca or 613-828-6274.

BETTER PARKS AND A NEW RECREATION CENTRE Bay Ward needs better access to recreation and park space. We have begun planning new parks and recreation facilities in Withrop Court, Michele Park, Bayshore Park and at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Britannia Park. Bay Ward’s first new park in over 20 years will be built in Winthrop Court in 2013. We have secured $300,000 to build an accessible park for this affordable housing community at the corner of Richmond Road and Croydon Avenue. The Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre will be modernized with suggestions for a cardio and weight room, an updated kitchen, an art gallery and a 10,000 square foot second floor addition, among other improvements. We are currently accepting suggestions from Bay Ward residents and Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre user groups about what they want to see in the updated centre. Michele Park will be improved with a new multi-purpose field, expanded community garden plots and upgraded playground equipment. New fences, paved pathways and more lighting will address safety concerns that I have heard from some residents about Michele Park. We have begun the initial stages of work to strengthen recreational and community gathering opportunities in Bayshore Park as well. MORE TO DO We have made a significant amount of progress making Bay Ward safer, creating new local jobs and building more recreation and park space but there is still more to do. I am relying on your support and participation over the next two years as we move forward on these and many other improvements to our community. To learn more about our work on managing neighbourhood intensification, economic development in the Ward, community safety, protecting our natural resources, renewing our neighbourhoods and better managing the tax dollars entrusted to us – please visit our website, call our office, send an e-mail or drop in to see us anytime.

Inquest to look into teenager’s death Leighton family’s plea granted Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The family of Eric Leighton will ﬁnally get the answers they are looking for. The 18-year-old Mother Teresa High School student was killed in May 2011 while cutting a barrel in shop class to make a barbecue when the sparks ignited cleaning solu-

tion fumes trapped inside the barrel, causing an explosion. Patrick and Sheri Leighton travelled to Queen’s Park with Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod on Sept. 13 to call for a coroner’s inquest into the death of their son. The inquest was called for by Dr. Roger Skinner, the supervising coroner for the eastern Ontario and announced on Oct. 1.

“The inquest will examine the circumstances surrounding Eric Leighton’s death. The jury may make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths,” the statement from the province reads. The project, making a barbecue, wasn’t on the curriculum. In August, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board was ﬁned $275,000 under the Occupational Health

and Safety Act for the explosion and death. The Leightons said they hope the coroner will make shop teachers stick to the curriculum and get another adult to approve shop project plans. Following the family’s visit to the legislature, Sheri said there will never be closure, but answers from an inquest could be the last pieces of the puzzle the family needs.

“We have had no contact from the teacher and we need answers,” she said shortly after the trip to Queen’s Park. Sheri said has been helped by the support of the community, family members and remembering what a good person her son was. “We just need answers to questions that we still have that nobody seems to want to step up and tell us,” she said.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean South Nepean Woods Park and Ride I am pleased to report that the future Park and Ride location at Woodroffe Avenue and Strandherd Drive is one step closer to reality after being presented to the Transportation Committee this week to finalize property acquisition from the local developer. Formerly known as the Chapman Mills Park and Ride, the South Nepean Woods Park and Ride is a much needed development for residents in Barrhaven. Continued rapid residential growth in Barrhaven will be served by the new Park and Ride lot with an estimated ultimate parking capacity of 680 spaces. The location will be the host of a future Park and Ride and Transitway Corridor. ‘No Parking’ Proposal on Forest Gate Way I would like to take this opportunity to consult with residents regarding a No Parking proposal on one side of Forest Gate Way in Barrhaven. I have had communications from concerned residents regarding the safety of children walking to and from school as both sides of the road are generally blocked by vehicles. City officials are currently proposing that on street parking be removed from one side of Forest Gate Way to allow for a ‘No Parking’ zone. As always, I would like to hear the community’s feedback with respect to this proposed traffic change. Please contact my office should you have any comments or concerns.

Traffic Light Installation at Riverstone Drive and Jockvale Road I am pleased to announce that traffic lights will be installed at the Jockvale Road and Riverstone Drive/Abetti Ridge intersection this fall season. As you may recall, Councillor Harder and I were successful in requesting permanent traffic signals at this intersection as part of this road improvement project, ahead of the original schedule.

To engage the public before budget tabling, a special e-mail address has been created, budget2013@ottawa.ca. Residents are encouraged to make their voices heard and to participate immediately. All suggestions shared that can be incorporated into the budget will be provided to management before tabling and identiﬁed to Council as part of the Draft Budget report.

In previous years, residents have ridden on a snowplow, tractor and motorcycle. “I just said it would be neat to be in one of those trucks because you could see everyone on the road,” said Fisher, who just moved to the retirement residence in Bells Corners this past summer. Duane McLaughlin Transport donated a driver and a truck on Sept. 25 to take Fisher on a quick jaunt on High-

way 417. Driver Dave Fletcher said he can remember visiting his grandparents at a nursing home when he was younger. “You would walk in and all the residents would look to see if it was their grandchildren visiting,” he said. “So it’s great to see you (Fisher) out and doing things. I am putting out on the CB right now that Good Time Gracie is going for a ride.”

Aside from the ride, Fisher got a toy truck from United Van Lines Mississauga and a pink trucker hat from Kenworth Ottawa. The toy was donated because of an article about Fisher’s upcoming ride in a Today’s Trucking magazine. “I didn’t know I was so important,” Fisher said, who reminded everyone she was just an old lady who goes to church on Sunday.

Holiday Hours at the City of Ottawa Just a reminder that on Monday, October 8th, numerous city services will be closed for the Thanksgiving Day long weekend. I would recommend calling 3-1-1 or checking online at www. ottawa.ca for changes to services such as garbage collection and client service centre hours. Some OC Transpo routes may also be running on a reduced schedule on that day. Please visit www.octranspo.com for any schedule changes due to the holiday.

Bells Corners renewal plan nears release Conclusion foresees a ‘tourism centre’ Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - Bells Corners needs to be “re-created and rebranded” says the chief of a local business group, and a new study lays out options for the community’s commercial future. A $30,000 “retail gap assessment” bankrolled by local businesses identifies what’s missing from the commercial landscape and suggests changes that could boost Bells Corners’ economy. It concludes that tourism will be the driver of renewal. Alex Lewis, the executive director of the Bells Corners Business Improvement Area, shared some of the report’s content during a community association meeting in Westcliffe Estates on Sept. 24.

“There’s lots of room for improvement,” Lewis said, adding that the study surveyed about 500 consumers by telephone while 50 local business operators were interviewed at length. “The recommendations are things we can do in co-operation with the city and the province.” SCOTIABANK PLACE

Lewis said the report concludes that Bells Corners could be a tourism centre because of the community’s proximity to Scotiabank Place and expected federal government hospitality spending as the Department of National Defence moves into the former Nortel campus at Carling Avenue and Moodie Drive. In addition to spending on hotels, associated businesses are expected to benefit from an increase in government travellers The former Nortel campus is expected to be filled with thousands of National Defence employees in the next three years. Because Bells Corners is close

by, businesses in the area hope to attract those employees to shop and dine. Lewis said the gap assessment sees other potential bonuses as the new employees arrive, including increased demand for housing in the form of rentals and purchases. Hotel business is expected to increase. Another potential way to draw more business is new signage on Highway 417. Signs on the highway currently identify the exits for unique neighbourhoods such as Little Italy and Chinatown, and the BIA report hopes to see signs that prompt some motorists to turn into Bells Corners. The study is still in draft form and needs to be approved by the BIA board before it is released to the public.

lists: • The closure of Nortel and the associated spending that used to occur in the area. • Growth of retail in Barrhaven and Kanata. • Vacant stores. • Unattractive and outdated appearance. • A small population with many elderly residents. Lewis said the BIA has talked with the NCC as the commission continues public consultations about Greenbelt renewal. He said the goal is to find the best uses for Greenbelt land and suggested a local farmers market might be a good fit. He said the gap study includes a list of companies the BIA should approach to open businesses in Bells Corners. Lewis said the consumers polled by telephone for the study are residents of Bells Corners and people who might potentially shop in Bells Corners, including people living in Bayshore, Crystal Beach, and parts of Kanata and Barrhaven.

Celebrate Ontario grant applications now open Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - A provincial grant for festivals and events that has funded Bluesfest and Winterlude is open for applications. The Celebrate Ontario grant is open to recurring events that are running new initiatives that will increase

attendance. It is also open to major one-time events in Ontario that will draw tourists to the province.

Complex will see demand increase

Brewer Pool closed until new year Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Continued from page 1

He added that Leslie Park had it’s own community pool on Guthrie Road that was closed 12 years ago to make room for development. The Pinecrest Recreation Complex was built in the ’60s and the ceiling panels were replaced in 2009, according to a written statement from Dan Chenier, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services. It’s too early to say how much the repairs will cost, but the city has already put $2.6 million of maintenance into the pool since 2004. “We could be looking at a warranty issue rather than a maintenance one,” Chiarelli said, adding the city could possibly approach the supplier once the cause is determined. Chiarelli said that regardless of the cause, the city needs to do more to reflect the reality of intensification. He

said as council drafts the new development charges bylaw they should ensure that some of the money goes to enhancing existing recreational infrastructure to a level that can keep pace with the growing population. “Growth dollars should service intensification too,” he said. Becker agreed and said with the number of new residents moving in being almost equal to the 2,200 residents the community association now represents, there needs to be a plan to maintain existing infrastructure. “We believe it would be detrimental to the community if its rapidly aging and deteriorating recreational facilities were simply asked to meet the greater demands of a much larger population,” Becker said. With files from Laura Mueller

EMC news - Swimmers in Old Ottawa South are out of luck this fall. All programs at the pool at the Brewer Complex have been cancelled until the new year due to delays in construction while repairing the pool’s roof. The pool closed in June with a promise to re-open in September, but now the pool isn’t expected to re-open until “early 2013,” according to city spokeswoman Jocelyne Tuner. The work was needed to replace the ceiling, lighting and pool ventilation system, as well as to remove asbestos, repair walls and build an entrance ramp. But when workers dug into the ceiling, engineers determined that the structural roof deck itself was worse for wear and needed repairs. “When work was conducted, structural engineers determined that the structural roof deck had to be repaired before the building could reopen to the public,” Dan Chenier, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said in a statement. The additional work will cost $400,000 on top of the $1.18 million price tag for the original project; $615,000 of that was slated for ceiling repairs, while $319,000

was supposed to go towards the ventilation system. The remaining $250,000 was budgeted for the accessible entrance ramp. “If anyone had known it was that bad, we would have done it differently,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. What’s not accounted for is the loss in

revenue from program registrations. The planned summer closure meant the cancellation of 330 learn to swim courses, but the last-minute fall closure left users without access to 533 learn to swim courses at Brewer pool this fall. The councillor said he was disappointed and upset to hear of the longer-thanexpected closure because he fully expected it to open on time in September.

Pool users would be forgiven for thinking the same, as there was no notice posted at Brewer pool about the ongoing closure, nor did the complex’s voicemail message indicate the pool was still closed for repairs. The city sent a media release on Sept. 28 indicating that the pool would continue to be closed for ongoing repairs. Old Ottawa East resident Jules Audet swims at Brewer Complex two or three times a week, and he bicycled there to swim at the beginning of September only to find extensive construction was still underway. Assuming the construction would end soon and with no indication otherwise, Audet held out for his home pool, but now that the city has indicated it won’t open until 2013, he said he will be making other plans. “In terms of the information lacking, it doesn’t take long to inform people,” Audet said. “I don’t know why they didn’t do that.” City staff helped pool users find alternate locations wherever possible, Chernushenko said. According to the city, 11 fall Brewer pool courses were relocated to other pools. Part of the contingency plan includes putting off repairs that were planned for the Sawmill Creek Pool this fall. That work has been delayed until 2013.

Church group comes to aid of Cambodian children Ratanak founder talks about international child sex trade Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

Mina Miron and Gail Derouin play the balloon pop at the Ladies Night Out, a fundraising event at the Centurion Conference Centre in Nepean on Sept. 27. The event raised funds for an international charity called Ratanak that aims to help children in the Cambodian sex trade. McConaghy said there is hope to get the country turned around, but the political climate had a lot to do with fostering what he calls a haven for international pedophiles. In April 1975, a communist revolution decimated the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population. McConaghy said more than 3 million of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7.5-million population were killed during the uprising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically anyone with more than a Grade 3 education was killed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason that they call it the Killing Fields.â&#x20AC;? The killings caused families to be torn apart, producing a generation that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to be parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of domestic violence with children subsisting by eating garbage off the streets,â&#x20AC;? McConaghy said. Many of the children sold into the sex trade are sent there by their families. They are started in the brothels as young as five. Because it is believed that having sex with a virgin has rejuvenating powers, their first clients pay an exorbitant sum to keep them in a hotel and have sex with them for a week. Then they are used goods and their value drops dramatically. In some cases the girls

only earn $2 per customer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no police, no judicial system and no family unit, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect storm for the child sex trade,â&#x20AC;? McConaghy said. The New Song Centre, named for two girls who were rescued, basically abducts young girls from the brothels in order to save them from sex work. While McConaghy showed slides of the centre, he reminded the audience that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show the front of the building as the address is secret to protect the girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls are product. We essentially have to steal them from the brothels. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different than stealing cocaine from a dealer,â&#x20AC;? McConaghy said. Ratanak staff start working with girls before they rescue them. McConaghy said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to spend the day playing with little girls only to go back to your hotel knowing they are being assaulted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are just like other kids except they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit down because of the abuse the night before,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you finish playing and they get painted up and ready for work.â&#x20AC;?

Once rescued, girls are accepted into a Ratanak group home and led in a ceremonial dance by other rescued girls. For some it is the first time they get a bed of their own, not shared with other girls and middle-aged men. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the time the girls are afraid of us. They think if we were able to steal them we are more powerful then the men whoâ&#x20AC;Ś raped them. They need the other girls to tell them they are finally safe.â&#x20AC;? Once there, the healing begins. There are currently 54 girls at the New Song Centre and 61 workers are on hand to deal with their complex emotional, physical and mental needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These girls are just ruined,â&#x20AC;? McConaghy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not talking about one or two sexual assaults, we are talking about thousands.â&#x20AC;? Girls are taught they are valued and given skills so they can work and make money without selling their bodies. They actually bake cakes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what McConaghy said were the best in Asia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper crust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are kids that were told they are lower than dirt making cakes for the royal family and diplomats,â&#x20AC;? he

EMC news - Brian McConaghyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was changed by a little girl he never met. After being shelled and shot at on the Thai-Cambodian border, McConaghy ended up in a Cambodian refugee camp. He heard stories of a little girl named Ratanak, who died because the communist regime wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow medicine in the camp to treat the injuries she received while working in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child sex trade. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that experience that led the forensic scientist with the RCMP to start Ratanak, the international charity that now rescues children who have been sold to pimps and brothels. It was the horror of watching seven young girls getting raped on video that forced him into action. McConaghy had been working on the Willy Pickton prostitute murder file when he was asked by the Vancouver City Police department to watch a series of videos and aid in the investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could walk away from the statistics of human trafficking,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk away from that. It changed me forever.â&#x20AC;? McConaghy found five of the seven girls he saw in the videos and brought them into the Ratanak fold. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify one child and one is still in the sex trade, but he said he will find her. McConaghy talked about the charity during a fundraiser held at the Centurion Conference Centre in Nepean on Sept. 27. The second annual Ladies Night Out was organized by the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group at St. Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish in Manotick. Organizer Sandy Russell said they had 240 women turn out this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this cause resonates with women in Manotick because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family community and we feel for the children,â&#x20AC;? she said. Russell, whose husband serves in the RCMP like McConaghy, said she has been to Cambodia and saw the organization at work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was blown away,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Conservative MP was the driving force behind Bill C-310 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which gives the Canadian government the authority to go after Canadian citizens or permanent residents who commit human trafficking offences abroad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sends a clear message we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Both Smith and McConaghy said the hope comes from the children themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people think that the children canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back from some of the things they have had to endure, but with enough love they and understanding they can,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. McConaghy ended his talk with the story of a group of young girls who testified against a former U.S. Marine Captain who had moved to Cambodia and bought seven young girls. He was arrested and brought up on molestation charges in the States, but the girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who had been rescued by Ratanak â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had to travel there to testify. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had to fly and when they got off the plan they were surrounded by white males. They were terrified. But they all got up on the stand and testified for a grueling five hours,â&#x20AC;? McConaghy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that we took them on a VIP tour of Disneyland.â&#x20AC;? The captain was given a prison sentence of 110 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can live with that,â&#x20AC;? McConaghy said. He showed a slide of the seven young girls who testified in princess dresses. Their faces were blocked out to protect their identity. He then showed another of the girls grown up. The girls had smiles on their faces and were on their way to building a better life. He continues to search for the last girl he saw being raped in the series of videos from the Vancouver police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still work to do,â&#x20AC;? he said.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino wager the right call

espite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement last week that Ottawa will entertain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue. Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines at the Rideau Carleton Race-

way since 2000, meaning residents of this city have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago. What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gamblers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG will close the slots at Rideau

Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots. It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is time that we repatriate that money.â&#x20AC;? What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow jobs, gambling revenue and

associated tourist dollars to stay in our city or leave for good. The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only way building a casino could benefit the city. As the federal govern-

ment sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefit from a casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry. In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that ensures its success. This would likely involve a central location close to existing hotels and transit. To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve

to limit the casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to benefit the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources. Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not - and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts. Gambling is nothing new to the Ottawa region and by firmly putting his support behind any future OLG casino proposal Watson has placed a good bet on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

COLUMN

Life after the record storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise edgeable around the store to consult if you wanted to know about the latest Miles Davis reissue. But, actually, there is no shortage of opinion available today, expert and otherwise. If you want to buy the latest Miles reissue you can scan the web and find out what everyone thinks about it. You can probably sample a track. Even though there is no one to talk to in a store, you can find what you need to know. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the absence of expertise that makes the passing of the record (later CD) store lamentable. Nor is it that there is less music available. There is more. Those of us who grew up desperately searching for jazz in small-town record stores and on the radio find ourselves facing riches beyond belief on the Internet. So why do we miss the record store? Why, for that matter, will we miss the book store. There is no shortage of ways to get books online and no shortage of books either. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we feel we are at the mercy of technology. A record (or a CD) is a tangible thing. It is always there. Music on the Internet depends on your Internet connection; music on your computer depends on your hard drive not packing it in. It feels tenuous and temporary. Not to everyone, of course. It is not unusual to find people whose entire music collection is stored on a device smaller than, say, a DVD box. Their total embrace of the new technology is what has sparked the tremendous growth in online music and the death of the record store. To be fair, the record, or CD store, still exists. They are fewer and often drastically scaled-down. But a few stores, like Compact Music and CD Warehouse in Ottawa, are still fighting the good fight. In response to Sam Snidermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, there has been comment on the feeling of community in the store and the loss of that community since it closed. There is, of course, a new community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is online and it will take some getting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;global village,â&#x20AC;? he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

hese days, when you lament for the past you are not looking all that far back. Change happens so quickly that the latest thing becomes the previous thing in no time flat. DVD players came about 15 years ago. Five years after that they became dominant and people stopped renting videotapes. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to impossible to rent a DVD. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet the mortgage on the next thing lasting all that long either. Think of how long radio was dominant before television took over. Think of how long phonograph records lasted before CDs came along. Decades and decades. Now within a single decade we see new systems emerge, disappear and be replaced by others which then disappear too. If you feel too lazy to try to keep up, join the club. Last week Sam Sniderman died at 92. He was the founder of the record store Sam the Record Man. Located on Yonge Street in Toronto it was the place to go for fans of all kinds of music, especially the less popular kinds. Eventually there were more than 100 Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s across Canada, including several here. There was a pretty good one at Carlingwood and a really good one at Bayshore, with the jazz and classical music in a special glassed-in section of the store. Anywhere in Canada, if you wanted a wide selection of classical music or jazz or folk music, Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was where you went. Where do you go now? You go online. And who is there? No one, except you. Some of the comment on the death of Sam has stressed that point - that there was always someone knowl-

EMC news – The United Way Ottawa has lowered this year’s fundraising target after falling $1.5 million short of last year’s goal of $33.5 million. More than 1,000 people attended a rally at the CE Centre on Sept. 27, when the United Way officially launched the 2012 Community Campaign, announcing a fundraising target of $30 million – $3.5 million less than last year’s target. “We are being respectful of the economic dynamics of the community right now. There are wage freezes, job cuts and we have a smaller public service this year. The goal reflects that and we are respectful of that,” said campaign co-chair and television personality Angie Poirier. She urged those present at the launch to give, speak-up and take action to support the community. Campaign co-chair, Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he was confident the charity would be able to reach this year’s mark. “United Way is a voice for giving and for philanthropy in our city,” said Fleury. “By supporting United Way, we are all working together to resolve our community’s most critical challenges — now and for our

future.” The focus area champions will speak directly with donors about the importance of the campaign and how their contributions are directly supporting United Way’s focus areas and making a difference to the community. “Both Mathieu and I have grown up in this city with a belief that we can make a difference. We have the legacy of so many leaders in this community and I’m proud to step up,” said Poirier. Whether donors contribute to United Way’s community priorities or support the charity of their choice, their donations help to build a stronger, healthier and safer community for all, said a United Way press release. Donors can contribute through payroll deductions or online giving, corporate gifts and through special fundraising events. The money raised through the campaign helps children to grow up great, ensures that disabled people, newcomers to Canada and seniors gain a greater sense of belonging to community, and turns lives around for the chronically homeless, youth with addictions and people and families dealing with poverty, mental illness and violence, said the United Way.

Eliminating the ‘lifer’ mentality

t’s not an easy time to be a public servant. In Ontario, slightly more than half of teachers are locked in battle with the government. At the federal level, departments continue to implement broad and deep cuts to meet the Conservative party’s 2012 budget targets. On top of the internal strife, government workers must also deflect the near daily onslaught of criticism from the public and the media, which tend to portray them as greedy, lazy, and spoiled. There’s a widely-held perception, after all, that the public service is where talent and innovation go to die. Once people sign on, they’re there for life. No need to work hard. Push some paper. Organize a conference call now and again. Then you can just kick back and enjoy the ride – or, in this case, a lucrative benefit package. The sad thing is, as with most stereotypes, there’s some truth to this perception. It’s not surprising, really. The federal government employs a quarter of a million people, the largest employer in the country. The hiring process alone is a cumbersome and lengthy affair, often taking more than six months to fill even an entry-level position. There are written tests followed by a series of interviews by committee, where

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse mechanical human resources officers tick off horribly detailed boxes designed to fit existing job descriptions. But if the hiring process is archaic, the firing process is positively draconian. In the private sector, you get a pink slip, maybe a package and someone walks you out the door, ideally with some kind of career transition counselling. In government, you get a notice that maybe, possibly, perhaps you’re going to lose your job at some point between now and six months from now. You have the option to take a package or a retraining amount and leave. But if you want to stay employed you, and, say, 15 others who’ve received the same notice, are going to have to compete for a handful of positions. Imagine what this does to morale which is already in the toilet. The department affected goes into a tailspin. People’s reactions range from “the devil may care,” to panic-stricken. Whatever the response, it’s hard to go to

work without looking at your colleagues sideways. Most of those whose positions may be affected have a tendency to reduce their efforts to the bare minimum. Part of the problem, and what causes much of the panic, is that people don’t have a Plan B, says Moira Hutchison, a life strategy mentor and coach. “When people work in the government, they feel like they’re set for life,” says Hutchison, owner of Wellness with Moira. “They have the pension and the health benefits. They may not even like their jobs, but they become so panic-stricken because the idea they had of safety and security has been stripped away from them. They are stuck.” For the last 10 years, Hutchison has been connecting clients with a number of self-help methods – ranging from hypnosis to self-affirmation and coaching -- designed to help them get “unstuck”. “People forget what motivated them to get into

these jobs in the first place,” explains Hutchison. “When the cuts come, they get frozen into this worst-case scenario kind of thinking. But before they hit a crisis, they need to be tapping into resources to make sure they have the tools for self-care, and are equipped to handle these things when they see it coming rather than waiting until the crisis hits.” Hutchison adds that, with so many layoffs occurring at once, people would be well-served to tap into their entrepreneurial skills, thinking about ways to turn their passions into money-making ventures. “People aren’t going to be able to just go and work at Tim Horton’s,” says Hutchison. “They require jobs of equal calibre to what they’re doing now. But these jobs don’t exist, so they are going to have to create one for themselves.” She says everyone in government – regardless of whether their jobs are imminently affected or not – would be well-served to escape from the mindset that they are “lifers” in the government. A little innovation and entrepreneurship within their jobs could make them a lot happier and more productive, and it may just help them minimize that nasty public perception.

MP calls for better nutrition for youth brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - In response to an obesity epidemic, the Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau has introduced a motion to promote healthy eating habits for youth.

The motion, proposed in February, was passed on Sept. 19. Galipeau said that more than one in four children in Canada are overweight or obese. The motion calls for a framework for action from the Curbing Childhood Obe-

sity report. The programs will hopefully be ready to start before Christmas, and will launch in elementary schools while the secondary material is developed. Orléans will be the first place in Canada to get the programs in schools.

10 Great Workout Tips to Improve Results Looking to get toned and trimmed? Put a few of these tips into action each week and you will see faster results!

Tone Up while Walking Two to three times a week hop on your treadmill or walk throughout your neighbourhood briskly holding a three to ﬁve pound dumbbell in each hand. Do a one-minute set each of shoulder presses, biceps curls, triceps extensions, side laterals, front laterals and standing triceps kickbacks one after another as you walk. It’s an amazing upper-body challenge that gets your heart pumping.

Add Sprints to Your Running Routine Skip the long, slow, distance running unless you’re training for a marathon -- sprinting builds more muscle. Add a few 10- to 60-second sprints to your run, slowing down just long enough to catch your breath in between.

Power Up Your Runs Adding wall sits to the end of every run will strengthen your quads, hamstrings and glutes, improving your speed and endurance. Lean against a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart, then squat until your knees are bent 45 degrees. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds. Work up to doing 10 sets.

Super-Sculpt Your Butt Get great glutes by doing high-intensity squats, like jump squats. Then, blast off butt ﬂab with cross-country skiing, bleacher running and stair climbing. If there are long halls in your work place do lunges.

Try This All-in-OneToner Do a side-step squat with wood chop. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart holding a three- to four-pound medicine ball in your hands. Bend your arms up so that the ball is at eye level over your right shoulder. As you bring the ball toward your left knee, step out with your left leg and bend it no further than 90 degrees, keeping your right leg straight. Return to the starting position. Do 10 to 15 reps and repeat on the other leg. This is a great workout for your arms, torso, abs, back, legs, inner thighs and butt.

Take This Jump-Rope Challenge The best cardio workout is the jump-rope with double-turn. It’s intense and you burn about 25 calories per minute. Do a basic jump for ﬁve minutes, then jump twice as high and turn the rope twice as fast so it passes under your feet twice before you land. This takes timing, patience and power but you will get in great shape just by working at it.

Maximize Your Crunches Don’t relax your abs as you lower your chest away from your knees during a crunch -- you get only half the ab-toning beneﬁt! To get the ﬁrmest abs possible, you need to sustain the contraction on the way down.

Intensify Your Push-Up Squat-thrust push-ups will get you in great shape because they work your upper body, core and lower body, improve agility, strength and endurance all at once. From a standing position, bend down, put your hands on the ﬂoor shoulderwidth apart, and jump your feet back into plank position. Jump your feet wide apart, do a push-up, then jump your feet together. Jump your feet back to your hands and stand up. Do 8 - 10 reps in total and then rest for one minutes and repeat.

Stay motivated by using a ﬁtness journal. Be sure to set goals (for example, doing 10 “boy” push-ups). Log your transformation stats: weight, body fat percentage, and post your before photo on the fridge. When you see how much you improve, you’ll want to stay in great shape.

Give Yourself a Break You don’t have to be a ﬁtness saint to get results. Follow the 80/20 plan: 80 percent of the year, you’ll exercise regularly and eat well. Know that you’ll skip 20 percent of the time due to holidays and work deadlines. When you accept this, you will be more likely to stick with it for life.

Energy Minister Bentley Visits Hydro Plant at Chaudière Falls

R0011655637

NEWS

SUBMITTED

On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of Energy Chris Bentley visited Chaudière Generating Station No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historic hydroelectric generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The station, commissioned in 1891 and refurbished and fully automated in 2001, is a heritage-designated building that is Canada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-theriver hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentley was accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière Generating Station No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in 2005, as well as a smaller station named the Grinder Powerhouse which uses an innovative technology that is similar to a pump operating in reverse – the first time this technology has been used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more. Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations have a generating capacity of 17 megawatts and an annual production of about 125,000 megawatt hours of green energy. With the addition of its landfill gas-to-energy generation, Hydro Ottawa is the largest generator of green power in eastern Ontario. This green energy portfolio will expand with the closing of the acquisition of three more hydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls from Domtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. The acquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric generating capacity, enabling the company to generate enough clean, renewable energy to meet the annual needs of 28,000 households. Another benefit of the acquisition is that the Chaudière Falls site is one of the largest remaining sites available in Ontario, with an expansion opportunity that could see Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric capacity grow to 60 megawatts.

Chapman Mills school to be opened in March Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The Chapman Mills Elementary School currently under construction at 260 Leamington Way came one step closer to completion on Sept. 26. Members of the public school board, the school’s principal and parents gathered to break ground for the school that will take in 650 pupils in March 2013. Mark Fisher, the area trustee, said the $10-million building will be one of the most environmentally-friendly schools in the city. “It’s really innovative. Re-

ally energy efficient,” Fisher said. The school will house students from overflowing Barrhaven and Farley Mowat public schools. Some children have already been placed at the former Parkwood Hills Public School on Tiverton Drive awaiting the opening of the Chapman Mills school. Kids were sent to the empty Parkwood Hills Public School site to ease overcrowding at the two Barrhaven elementary schools. The decision was made during an accommodation review that was finalized last fall. Students residing in the Chapman Mills west area and

Fisher said some issues with the city’s planning department and difficult sourcing materials for the 5,650-square-metre Chapman Mills school caused a delay in construction. Once it opens, it will offer classes from junior kindergarten to Grade 4. For the 2013-14 school year it will add French immersion and Grade 5. “It is very exciting and is the result of very hard work on behalf of staff and individuals from the community,” Fisher said. Fisher added the tremendous level of growth in south Nepean neighbourhood calls for four more schools in the area.

Students from Barrhaven Public School residing in the eastern Stonebridge and Heart’s Desire neighbourhoods also attend the new school. The initial changes in boundaries saw 340 students redirected from Farley Mowat and 150 students from Barrhaven Public. Last year, Farley Mowat and Barrhaven Public schools had 17 and 19 portables respectively and were looking at an even bigger space crunch with the arrival of full-day kindergarten.

Algonquin students say stop bus-fare hikes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Age does not define a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: student president Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association may take on the city in a legal challenge unless the new age restrictions on student bus passes are lifted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now our lawyers are talking with the city,â&#x20AC;? said David Corson, president of the association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be a human rights challenge.â&#x20AC;? An age restriction was placed on student bus passes during changes to the whole rate package as part of the intended introduction of the Presto payment cards. While Presto wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used until February, changes to student passes have already been implemented. The cutoff age for student bus passes is 19 under the new system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cap that is supposed to align Ottawa Presto prices with those of other areas using the system such as the GTA and Hamilton. Corson said Ottawa could have set their own rates and age caps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand there is a budget crunch at the city but the changes will mean millions coming off the backs of students. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right,â&#x20AC;? he said. Right now students over the age of 20 will have to purchase an adult pass which is $30 more per month. In an Aug. 24 transit commission meeting, Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess asked Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig if the student ages were â&#x20AC;&#x153;set in stone.â&#x20AC;? McCuaig, whose company manages Presto, said the Ottawa transit commission had ďŹ nal say over its rate structure. A human rights challenge could be made with the province because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discrimination against older students, said Corson, who is a 48year-old student. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli is sympathetic to the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have to look at why we were giving students a price break,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it because they are younger or because they are going to school during working hours

FILE

The Algonquin College Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association is campaigning against a city-imposed age restriction on student bus passes following a change in student-fare age restrictions that accompanied a fare table aimed at implementing the delayed Presto payment cards. and needed the help ďŹ nancially?â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said he thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latter; otherwise the city should do away with student bus passes and simply offer a discount to anyone under the age of 19. In 2009 city council voted to disqualify students over the age of 26 from getting a discounted pass. Students organized a broad campaign that forced an amendment to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget that year ultimately cancelling the age cap. Chiarelli guessed a human rights challenge has about a 50 per cent chance of succeeding, but he hopes to be able to work with the mayor and his council colleagues during the upcoming budget process to make the change and avoid a legal challenge. Both Carleton University and the University of Ottawa have the U-Pass, which provides bus passes to all students at a cost of $290 for the eight-month school year. The charge is included in the student fees each year. Students over 19 who stay in the city during summer months have to pay for an adult pass. The charge was voted in during a referendum held by the universities two studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; associations. But Corson said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an option for the college. Right now no form of a U-Pass exists for Algonquin, La CitĂŠ CollĂŠgiale, St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University or the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adult high schools. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson

told council on April 25 that a U-Pass at those schools probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made available until 2014. The U-Pass discount only works if the entire student body pays the fee for the pass. Annie Thomlinson, the marketing director for the Algonquin Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association, said with the high number of commuters who use cars, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense for the college to go the U-Pass route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of people coming from rural areas, who already pay $500 in parking here at the college; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to charge them for a bus pass,â&#x20AC;? she said. Corson said he represents a student body of more than 15,000 and he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortable with the majority paying for the beneďŹ t of a minority. According to statistics

from the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking department, there are 7,000 students that use the bus to get to school. About 4,500 of those were over the age of 19 as of last year. Another 3,000 students park their cars at the school and another 4,000 students are within walking distance of the campus and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use transit to get to class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep hearing about a U-Pass but without knowing what it entails, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly agree to it,â&#x20AC;? Corson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be like saying yes to a blank piece of paper. If there are people at the city that think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea I have some land in Florida to sell them.â&#x20AC;? The U-Pass made some waves at the universities when the students associations signed up a couple of years ago as well. Nine students at the University of Ottawa ďŹ led a class-action lawsuit against the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa in late 2010, asking to be reimbursed student fees they paid for the pass. The students alleged that the pass wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly explained to them. The two parties had a settlement conference a year later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students suing the association over the pass doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly ďŹ ll me with conďŹ dence about signing up for it,â&#x20AC;? Corson said. Corson said he and the students association will try to push the city to keep the fares fair and hopes the council will see reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now we are talking through our lawyer because we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to have a conversation. But we are doing things step by step and hoping to ďŹ nd a resolution before we make a human rights challenge,â&#x20AC;? he said. With files from Laura Mueller

Baird recognizes Nepean woman for decades of volunteer work Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Audrey Johnston spent 25 years delivering meals on wheels to residents of Nepean. She said she didn’t need any thanks for her work,

that meeting with the clients was thanks enough. But on Aug. 20 John Baird, MP for Ottawa West-Nepean, awarded Johnston for her commitment to the community with a Diamond Jubilee Award.

“It was an honour and a surprise,” Johnston said. Aside from her work with Meals on Wheels, Johnston is a member of St. Richard Anglican Church and volunteered as a member of the pastoral care and refugee committees.

Johnston, the widow of a Second World War veteran, was happy to have her family in on the award. “My family knew before me,” she said. “It was a surprise. There are a lot of people doing great things in this city.” Johnston, who turned 90 this summer, has three children, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her pride in her family is obvious.

“I can’t think of a more appropriate occasion to honour her life’s acheivements than being here with her close family and friends,” Baird said as he presented her with the award.

EMC news - A couple of Algonquin College students will accompany their instructor on a Habitat for Humanity build in Nicaragua. Mike Nauth, the co-ordinator of the carpentry apprenticeship program at the college, has been involved with the Habitat program in Ottawa since 1994. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the foreman on one of the ďŹ rst builds in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Nauth said, adding he has volunteered his time on other jobs doing framing and other carpentry work since then. His ďŹ rst international build â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with an offshoot of Habitat for Humanity Canada called Global Village â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was in Honduras. Nauth said the houses are

not nearly as â&#x20AC;&#x153;lavishâ&#x20AC;? as they are here in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the work is mixing cement by hand,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding the heat is probably the biggest challenge volunteers will face. Nauth, along with students Andrew Reynolds and David Caron, will head to the Central American country on Nov. 2. In addition to paying their own airfare and room and board, the trio has been fundraising to purchase tools and other supplies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we went to Honduras we wanted to bring tools with us, but we found the transportation to be an issue,â&#x20AC;? Nauth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It turned out we could buy everything we needed when we go there, at a lower cost.â&#x20AC;? The community the volunteers will be working in is called La Gallina, in the municipality of San Rafael del Sur, Managua. Despite efforts to improve the housing conditions there are concerns about access to water and sanitary measures. The project aims to improve housing for the 234 families that live in the community. Naught and his group will work on the construction of 36-square-metre houses, made up of adobe blocks. The work will start at 8 a.m. every morning and a typical day of work lasts until 5 p.m. with a break for lunch. It may be cool in Canada when the trio leaves for their nine-day adventure, but temperatures will reach up to the mid 30s in Nicaragua. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a couple of people who had to go back to hotel on the ďŹ rst day last year because they were just too worn out,â&#x20AC;? Naught said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to be prepared for the heat.â&#x20AC;? Naught said students will learn about the country and how good they have it back home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will see that people there house a family in something the size of what we would use as a garden shed here,â&#x20AC;? he said. He added that the contrast between the lush vegetation and the poor residents was jarring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was all this food hanging off trees and all over the place, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kept for export. It was amazing to me that there are people starving.â&#x20AC;? There are simultaneous builds happening in Chile, Nepal and the Dominican Republic. Naught said you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have a background in construction to help out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we do to prepare is physical ďŹ tness,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really just the labourers. We are there to help.â&#x20AC;? To learn more about the trip or to donate, visit www.canada helps.org/gp/20670.

Legion seeks photos for wall of remembrance Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were there fairly early, so a suggestion came out maybe we could try this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be a very moving experience for a lot of people.â&#x20AC;? The Legion is asking people across the country to mail photographs and accompanying information (no original copies as they cannot be returned) to Dominion Command, 86 Aird Pl., Ottawa, ON., K2L 0A1. Photographs and service records can also be sent by email to: RememberingTh-

em@legion.ca or ALeur Memoire@legion.ca. Any deceased veteran, whether they died before or after their years of service, is eligible to be included in the virtual wall, including those who served with the merchant navy and ferry command. The Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be shown annually at future Remembrance Day ceremonies. For more information visit the website www.info@ legion.ca.

EMC news - A video montage of deceased Canadian veterans will be shown during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial. The Royal Canadian Legion is seeking photographs of veterans together with their names, years of service, and units, to include in a Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance, which will be displayed on two video screens prior to

the start of the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent idea for people to pay tribute to their relatives who have given their lives for this country,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Maxwell, senior program ofďŹ cer with the Royal Canadian Legion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ rst time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being tried and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping for a success.â&#x20AC;? The video montage will begin shortly before the start of the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time before the music and pre-ceremony there was no activity,â&#x20AC;? said Maxwell.

Hundreds brave rain to honour fallen police, peace officers Joe Lofaro Metro

EMC news - Droplets of water dabbed the caps of several hundred uniformed police officers who stood in the rain on Parliament Hill Sunday, Sept. 30, to pay tribute to their fallen comrades at the 35th annual Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. The inclement weather wasn’t enough to keep hundreds of bystanders and family members of police officers from gathering around the perimeter of the Parliament Hill lawn to observe the throngs of officers from Thunder Bay, Toronto, and several other Canadian police forces during the ceremony. Margaret Mills came from Chatham, Ont. with her son and daughterin-law, both of whom are police officers in Toronto. “I’m very proud of them. We’re all here to support them even standing in the rain,” she said wearing a soaked rain jacket. “They’re there for us in all kinds of weather so I can stand for a few minutes to honour them.” Canada’s Public Safety Minister Vic Toews referred to police officers as “heroes” as he opened the ceremony with his speech about sacrifice and remembrance. There are more than 800 PHOTOS BY JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND names on the Police and Peace Offi- Hundreds of uniformed police and peace officers from across the country march onto Parliament Hill to pay tribute to their fallen comrades at cers’ National Memorial Honour Roll. the 35th annual Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day on Sept. 30 “All Canadians mourn the death of police and peace officers, but none feel the loss more personally, more profoundly, and more painfully than their families and their colleagues,” said Toews. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you, especially today.” The minister also laid a wreath on the front steps. The 2011 passing of Const. Vincent Roy of the Bromont, Que. police force was observed at this year’s ceremony. Canadian Police Association president Tom Stamatakis said three historical names were also added to this list. Speaking at the end of the ceremony, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau called the show of community support at the memorial “outstanding.” “It’s very heart-warming when you’re marching and people are applauding,” he said. Bordeleau said 14 members of the Ottawa police lost their lives in the line of duty in the force’s history – the most recent one being Ottawa police Const. Eric Czapnik, who was fatally stabbed Dec. 29, 2009. “It’s good to recognize the fact that our police officers day in, day out put their lives on the line and for that they do that for the safety of our community.”

Surgeon turned humanitarian to speak Oct. 24 Jewish Federation of Ottawa to hear from Save a Child’s Heart organization doctor at Choices event steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Cardiac surgeons are a unique breed of medical practitioner, honing a specific skill set with which they perform life-saving operations. Sometimes, however, their actions can elevate them to humanitarian status. One of those people is Dr. Livia Kapusta, who will be in Ottawa on Oct. 24 to deliver a speech at the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Choices event, as well as meet with members of the local medical community. A Dutch cardiac surgeon now working in Israel, Kapusta has gained international recognition for helping give children from developing countries a new lease on life by way of heart surgery. As part of the surgical team behind Save a Child’s Heart, a humanitarian project based out of the Wolfson Medical Centre in Israel, Kapusta travels to developing nations to assess the condition of impoverished children needing lifesaving cardiac surgery. Organizers of the federation’s annual women’s evening are excited by the prospect of having a member of this inspirational humanitarian team speak at Choices. “(Save a Child’s Heart) is a very unique and moving endeavour,” said Cindi Resnick, a member of the federation’s Choices committee, who toured the Israeli hospital two years ago and encouraged fellow members to bring Kapusta to Ottawa for the event. “The doctors bring the children to Israel where they receive care and their families are lodged close to the hospital, where they sometimes stay for months. It’s all done at no cost to the children’s families,” she said. “It’s such a fantastic humanitarian effort.”

nual campaign to support more than 20 Jewish beneficiary agencies in the Ottawa area. Event chairwoman Sandra Zagon said when the committee decided upon Save a Child’s Heart as the focus of this year’s Choices, the organization selected Kapusta as speaker. “The quality of this speaker is that she’s made choices to change countries and the direction of her profession,” said Zagon. “Clearly it is from a platform of values that she espouses - she wants to make a difference in the world.” Zagon said there is a common Hebrew phrase, “tikkun olam” - which translates to “repairing the world” - and said the work of Kapusta and her fellow surgeons shows they strongly believe in this sentiment. Given Kapusta’s profes-

sional credentials, event organizers sought to capitalize on her visit by arranging meetings between Kapusta and cardiac teams from the

Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. They also hope to introduce her to an interfaith group operating

within their clergy. “Those will be two interesting meetings – for both sides,” said Resnick. “Our heart institute and children’s hospital

are so welcoming, and are looking forward to meeting her.” See CARDIAC, page 22 R0011655298

“(Save a Child’s Heart) is a very unique and moving endeavour.”

Funding for the operations, travel expenses, lodging and follow-up appointments is covered by Save a Child’s Heart and its partner agencies. The group also trains physicians at Wolfson Hospital in the hope that those doctors will create their own centres of excellence in other countries. Choices is one of the Federation’s many annual fundraising events. Envisioned as a compelling and inspirational evening for those in attendance, the event features speeches from women who have made life-altering choices. Proceeds raised go towards the Federation’s an-

Peacekeeping veteran named city builder jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitting that Gord Jenkins, a peacekeeping veteran and president of the NATO Veterans Organization of Canada was given a City Builder Award for his work with the General Burns Community Association. A member of the Canadian Armed Forces, Jenkins was in charge of air supply movements and served in places like Egypt on peacekeeping missions.

10% off Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pass with the purchase of a multi-day Snow School Program

General Burns, which is in the Chesterton Drive area of Nepean, was a community designed to house veterans of the Second World War. Jenkins, who has lived in the area for 29 years, said the decision to name the community centre after the general who led the United Nations Emergency force was made by residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city wanted to name it after some developer and we said no way,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jenkins was given the award by Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli on Sept. 26.

He served as president of the community association from 2006 to 2010. Jenkins, whose three children attended Century Public School and J.S. Woodsworth Secondary School, is probably as proud of his children as he is of the neighbourhood he helped to build. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One is an intensive care nurse, another works for CSIS and my daughter is a lawyer,â&#x20AC;? he said with pride, adding growing up in the familyfriendly community is part of the reason for their success.

GORD JENKINS Jenkins still volunteers in the community association, but his work with the veterans

association takes up too much time to serve on the executive. There are 20 volunteers in the General Burns Community Association that run everything from tennis, to seniors programs and a duffer do playgroup for kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not me. There is incredible teamwork,â&#x20AC;? he said. During his tenure, Jenkins started a series of breakfast meetings with the presidents of other community associations. He later helped to found the Knoxdale Merivale Com-

munity Associations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a body comprised of the presidents from across the ward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would meet for the breakfasts and I realized that we had a lot of the same issues,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six or seven voices are stronger than one.â&#x20AC;? The mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Builder Award is a civic honour that recognizes an individual, group or organization that has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place today and for the future.

Breast cancer patients honoured with tree dedication Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C;The Ottawa Hospital Foundation kicked off a fundraiser last week to support the expansion of the Civic Campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breast health centre. The Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre needs more space and equipment to serve its growing list of clients, said Dr. Jean Seely, head of breast imaging at the Ottawa Hospital. The health centre has seen a 40 per cent increase in its number of patients since it opened 14 years ago, said Seely. The hospital foundation dedicated a Tree of Life to recognize Shoppers Drug Mart for its commitment to supporting womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health in Ottawa on Sept. 27. The dedication marked the start of the seventh-annual Tree of Life campaign, which, this year will see employees at 47 Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Ottawa supporting the expansion of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breast health centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year, more than 30,000 women walk through the doors of the Ottawa Hospi-

tal Breast Health Centre,â&#x20AC;? said Seely, adding that 1,000 of them will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The campaign, which runs for four weeks, encourages customers to purchase and personalize their own paper leaf for a loonie â&#x20AC;&#x153;maple leafâ&#x20AC;? for $5 or a paper apple for $50. Each leaf sold will represent a donation to the centre and will then become part of the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tree of Life display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funds raised by Shoppers Drug Mart will allow us to be ready for patients when they need us the most,â&#x20AC;? said Seely. Representatives from Tree Canada were on hand to distribute free tree saplings so event attendees could plant a tree in honour of those who have, and who are currently fighting the disease. The expanded centre will provide patients with a bright and pleasant environment that addresses all womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breast health needs in one location and with greater efficiency, said Seely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The huge increase in the number of patients has meant that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the number of professionals that we need

EDDIE RWEMA/METROLAND

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation kicked off its Tree of Life fundraiser last week, aiming to raise money for the expansion of the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre. Pictured above, from left, are Dr. Jean Seely, head of breast imaging at the Ottawa Hospital, Sharon Martin, senior director, special projects at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Cibele Walsh of Shoppers Drug Mart, Tracy Power, breast cancer survivor, Ches Woolfrey and Bashir Surani of Shoppers Drug Mart. to provide excellence in breast care,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of patients has doubled and we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to offer that centralized access to diagnosis and care the way we want to.â&#x20AC;?

Though mortality for breast cancer has decreased by 30 per cent in Ontario, Seely said breast cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death for women in North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very big problem, but with early treatment and

diagnosis we are able to have phenomenal outcomes,â&#x20AC;? she said. A wife and a mother of two, Tracy Power never thought she would be diagnosed with breast cancer, until she was told she had an aggressive

form of the disease last October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I embarked on a journey of a multitude of tests, breast cancer surgery and six rounds of chemo,â&#x20AC;? she said. Power said breast cancer isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the death sentence that it used to be and there is no reason for patients to think they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get through it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chemo was difficult but a lot of advances have been made lately in terms of handling the side effects,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her message to cancer patients was â&#x20AC;&#x153;survival rate is so high these days.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just stay optimistic, have faith in your doctors and you will get through this.â&#x20AC;? Over the past six years, the Shoppers Drug Mart Tree of Life campaign has raised more than $400,000 to support patient care and research at the Ottawa Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled in the last three years they have focused their efforts on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health issues and this year they have chosen to support the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Martin, senior director, special projects at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Tech rebound welcomed by city, province

EMC news - The city and province hope one high-tech company’s growth is a sign of things to come. In August 2011, Cisco and the province entered into an agreement that aimed to create 300 new jobs in Ontario over five years. Cisco checked in with the government on Sept. 25 to report 134 jobs have already been added: 96 in Ottawa and 38 in Toronto. “Cisco could be doing what they’re doing anywhere in the world,” said Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid during a press conference hosted at Cisco’s offices on Innovation Drive. Duguid and Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Chiarelli were part of the Kanata-based event, appearing via a Ciscodesigned videolink from Toronto. Cisco Canada’s vice-president Ron McDougall said Ontario presented “a compelling case” for the company’s growth. The Kanata location now has about 400 employees and another company manager said the original agreement to add 300 positions in Ontario could be eclipsed if conditions remain positive. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson attended in person. Following a tour of two large technology labs, Watson said the city’s Invest Ottawa program has been well funded by council and can help companies that want to locate here or expand operations. He said assistance includes fast-tracking building permits and zoning applications, but the city can’t pump cash into businesses like the province does. LIMITS

“Under the Municipal Act … we don’t have the ability to directly finance companies,” Watson said. “We’re more of a facilitator so they can access different government programs so jobs stay in Ottawa and grow in Ottawa. “ Watson said Invest Ottawa has been operating for less than a year but will ask for an update at the finance committee later this year. “So far it’s been very aggressive and very impressive,” Watson said of Invest Ottawa. Wilkinson said she’s happy to see high-tech growth in her ward. She said large high-tech companies want space to grow, which makes Kanata an attractive location in the city.

Taekwondo phenom lends a hand Nevil Hunt

October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Autumne Cadieux, a 12-year-old taekwondo fan spends a lot of time helping others. From October to May every year, Cadiuex volunteers to teach students in a special needs class offered at Tae E. Lee Taekwondo, near Westgate Shopping Centre, once a week. This is the third year she has worked with the special needs group, and the students – both children and young adults – look the part in their outfits and belts. The students’ enthusiasm is obvious and they carefully follow instructions during a spirited warmup. There are mats and bare feet. Hands and belts. Noise then silence. It takes time to get used to a taekwondo studio, so getting an early start helps. Cadieux, 12, already has eight years experience under her belt, which is half red and half black, with white stripes. The colour scheme of the belt around her waist identifies her as the top of her age group; she can’t earn a full black belt until she is 14. Until then she’ll continue to hone her skills at Tae E. Lee where she spends time up to five days a week. Along with two classes each week, Cadieux practises with the Tae E. Lee demonstration team

HELP PROTECT CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY

More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community. NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Autumne Cadieux, left, practises taekwondo blocks with Michael HurleyTrinque during a class at Tae E. Lee Taekwondo. Cadieux volunteers to teach during a special needs class once a week. – among the highest honours an athlete can earn. Being a team member means she wears a bright blue jacket with a colourful dragon emblem that stands out among the usual white uniforms. “I look forward to performing (with the demonstration team),” Cadieux said. Cadieux isn’t aiming for an Olympic berth as she prefers the patterns and per-

formance of demo team members. Taekwondo athletes at the Olympics must spar with each other to win medals. Practice and her 14th birthday will allow Cadieux to advance from her current position as a third dan: an assistant instructor. “I’d like to be a master; a fourth dan,” she said.

During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse. “People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may beneﬁt from support services.” Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home.

EMC news - Elementary school children spent the day at Andrew Haydon Park on Sept. 25 to celebrate the second annual National Tree Day. Tree Canada put on a day of events and tree planting for students from D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School and Featherston Drive Public School. The students learned how to

properly plant a tree to make sure it would grow strong roots and properly mature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With everything trees provide us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important we make plans to sustain them,â&#x20AC;? Tree Canada president Michael Rosen told the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By taking part in tree planting events like this, we help make sure there will be trees for future generations.â&#x20AC;? The students also met the Tree Amigos: Penny Pine, Re Spruce and Sophie Cedar, and had their photos taken with

them. Last March, Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MPP Royal Galipeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion proclaimed the Wednesday in the last full week in September as National Tree Day. He said he worked with Tree Canada and Rosen, who sent a letter to every MP last year, asking for support for the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees make life worth living,â&#x20AC;? Galipeau told students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They reduce energy costs, prevent water run-off, keep

our waterways clean and purify our air.â&#x20AC;? National Tree Day falls within National Forest Week, which is promoted by the Canadian Institute of Forestry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees and forests are an important part of our heritage,â&#x20AC;? Galipeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are, and always have been, essential to our well-being, our economy and even our identity as a nation. The whole world recognizes the maple leaf thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on our flag.â&#x20AC;?

Arbitration reform problematic: law experts Politicians who vow to cap public sector salaries might be promising the impossible Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

TAX CORPORATIONS

The PC’s position that government can’t get money to pay for raises is difficult to accept, MacNeil said, when Ontario has the lowest corporate tax rate among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The province also has a corporate tax rate lower than many European jurisdictions. El-Chantiry, chairman of the police board, again in September asked the McGuinty Liberals to “exercise fiscal restraint” when negotiating with the OPP, because a settlement with the provincial force often sets the stage for increases among municipal forces. Liberals recently proposed stiffer rules for arbitrators, but the PCs and NDP rejected the plan. Even the Drummond Report contained suggestions for dealing with the process. The former TD Bank chief economist, Don Drummond, last February released a 665-page report calling for deep spending cuts. If not, he warned that the province will face a crippling $30-billion deficit by 2017-18.El-Chantiry said police settlements in remote or more dangerous areas shouldn’t af-

Pay contracts awarded by arbitrators to public employees who cannot strike – such as police officers – can cause budget problems for municipalities, says the chairman of the Ottawa police services board. fect deals made in Ottawa, but insists they do. MacNeil doubts that is the case. Arbitrators are capable of rejecting irrelevant evidence. “Arbitrators are not stupid,” he said. Prof. Kevin Banks in the faculty of law at Queen’s University allowed the possibility that arbitrators may infrequently accept weak comparables. But poor or novel decisions can go both ways. He describes a hypothetical situation where nurses are asking for pay equity with police officers. Arbitrators, he said, are conservative and usually base decisions solely on past

precedent. That’s how they develop a desirable reputation among future negotiating teams on both sides. “They tend to have a lot of experience in labour relations,” he said. “But they don’t impose big changes.” He suspects an “ability to pay” law would be difficult to define and require a lot of evidence on behalf of governments to prove. “It’s not at all obvious how you would structure that.” Banks said the arbitration process has positives and negatives, but that it is at least a place where reasoned arguments and reasoned decisions are held. He added that arbitrators attempt to replicate market-based labour decisions, although that can be difficult because often public employees are doing work with no private sector equivalent. However, he echoed MacNeil’s point that public workers shouldn’t be left to the whim of elected politicians. “There is a strong tradition in arbitration law that taxpayers shouldn’t get public services at a discount,” Banks said. CITIES POWERLESS

While the province appears poised to move ahead with legislation banning strikes and freezing wages on teachers, the Charter of Rights could prevent it from sticking, Banks said. On the other hand, he asks why the province can do it and municipalities can’t? The answer, he said, is that the province hasn’t conferred those powers on the municipalities. MacNeil and Banks agree that municipal politicians who vow to rein in spending on salary increases walk a fine line. “I can understand why that would be a frustrating situation; one of the tools for cost containment isn’t in your tool kit,” Banks said. “You should know what you can and can’t do before you start making promises.”

R0011639014_0927

EMC news - City and provincial politicians are calling for arbitration reform as a way to rein in public sector wage increases. But at least two labour law experts say changes could prove difficult to achieve or possibly result in a less desirable system. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and his PC party have proposed legislation to force arbitrators to factor in taxpayers’ ability to pay when it comes to settlements. MacLaren argues that a deep deficit and slow economy is proof enough that taxpayers can’t afford to keep giving pay hikes to police and others deemed essential. “It’s time to stand up for taxpayers by fixing a broken system that awards unaffordable contract settlements to government union employees,” MacLaren penned in a recent column. “All arbitrators’ decisions must consider specific economic and budgetary factors, like the taxpayers ability to pay, when making decisions.” West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry has long expressed frustration that arbitrators can force elected politicians to pay more than they want to – or campaigned on – for services. “The thing is that arbitrators are unelected; they are appointed and they don’t care. At the end of the day he can say, ‘You have the ability to pay,’” El-Chantiry said. “It’s always about increasing taxes. The ‘ability to pay’ is a joke.”

However, Prof. Michael MacNeil in the faculty of law at Carleton University says politicians are not just elected representatives; they are employers. That means there are laws preventing politicians from performing certain actions – regardless of whether they made campaign promises such as an annual cap on tax increases. “If it’s all based on political decisions, that completely eviscerates the rights of employees,” MacNeil said, adding that tampering with an arbitrator’s neutrality harms two basic rights: freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. That would mean – in the case of police and others considered essential and not allowed to strike – the likely rise of illegal strikes and other job actions. “It is quite natural,” MacNeil said. “Should (public) workers subsidize taxpayers? That’s the counter argument.”

Students go high-tech with mentorship program Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa-area students are getting a sneak peak at the inner workings of the tech industry by developing their own educational mobile apps, part of a new mentorship program. Following a successful pilot project last year, a host of Grade 3 and 10 students at 16 elementary schools and 16 high schools in Ottawa are taking advantage of the mentorship program being offered by the Ottawa Network for Education and its tech industry partners. Called TechU.me, the mentor program aims to encourage students to pursue careers in educational programming. This year’s kick-off was held at the Adobe building on Preston Street, where a group of teachers from the participating schools met and shared information with 19 mentors from local high-tech companies, including Adobe. High school students are eager to learn about the technology they use regularly, said Steve Evraire, director of TechU.me. “As a classroom computer science teacher myself for 30 years, I always found that students are extremely creative when given the chance,” said Evraire. “Not only that, they are quite willing to see that skills learned in one environment transfer quickly to another without a lot of baggage … . Every so often as new technologies arise, it is almost always young people who embrace it ﬁrst, and they are really excited to show their teachers, parents etc how they use it.”

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Steve Evraire, director of TechU.me, addresses teachers and industry mentors during the program launch on Sept. 26. Under the program, students in Grade 3 and 10 work together to create the apps, with the elder students serving as mentors to the younger ones. Teachers guide the students’ progress, while mentors from the various tech companies pop in once a week to provide input and help them through the inevitable challenges that arise. During the pilot year, Grades 3 and 10 were chosen out of convenience for the two elementary teachers and two high school teachers who signed up. Now, the program is open to students from Grades 3 to 5 on the

elementary level and 10 to 11 at the secondary level. “In some high schools, the Grade 10 computer science course is not offered and a student does not have to have that course as a prerequisite to take the Grade 11 programming course anyway,” said Evraire. Funding from the federal economic development agency for southern Ontario and help from partner companies allowed the pilot project to blossom into a full-blown program this year. The Sept. 26 launch allowed teachers and mentors to meet each other while familiarizing them-

selves with the Adobe software used for the program. Patrick Coxall, a former Nortel employee who now teaches computer science at Mother Teresa High School in Barrhaven, took part in the pilot project and is now one of the teacher-mentors. He said the speed at which the industry – and the technology it produces – moves forward is both exciting and challenging. “Things are changing all the time,” he said. “We started out making computer apps before moving on to web applications. Then we realized that while web apps are cool, all my stu-

dents have their own mobile devices – iPhones mostly. (The curriculum) switched over two years ago to have them make mobile apps.” Even young people are fairly familiar with such devices, said Coxall, and those that aren’t quickly pick up the knowledge intuitively. Nathan Stehr, a software designer at Macadamian serving as one of the industry mentors, said the industry gets as much out of the program as the students. “I think what the tech industry gets out of this is the next wave of programmers, designers and managers who believe that working in tech is not only a good job in regards to employment and career opportunities, but are genuinely excited and have passion about the industry,” he said. “Having people joining the field who are excited about what they do and what they work on only makes the tech industry stronger.” Getting students excited about the industry is key to its health, something Stehr can relate to given his education in the field. The opportunity to serve as mentor also gives him a chance to give back. “After spending time with the students and seeing them having fun solving problems and building programs, I’m always a little more energized when I get back to the office to solve the problems and implement solutions for the projects I’m working on,” said Stehr. In addition to the mentor program, TechU.me also offers summer camps that give students hands-on experience in other tech-oriented areas.

PET OF THE WEEK

ID#147896 This neutered male, brindle coloured Doberman Pinscher/Boxer mix is approximately 8 months old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 28, 2012 and is now looking for a forever home. Target enjoys playing with his canine pals and would be happy in a home with another dog, provided they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning how to share toys. He has lots of energy and is in search of a family that can help him expend that energy. A tired dog is a good dog! He gets along well with children 12 years and older who have grown with dogs and understand that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not done his training yet. Target will need crate training as well to keep him secure and items safe when he is unattended. His obedience training must be continued, and at this stage of training apartment living is not recommended for him. which may include people and other dogs in adjacent yards, his posture appears threatening with his tail held high and his ears up and forward. Play and Excitement: If your dog is barking with a wagging tail wanting to greet people in a friendly way. Health: Older dogs may have Canine Cognitive Dysfunction or deafness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and may bark because they are unable to hear themselves. Dogs with health issues Some dogs bark because of age-related dementia or deafness. Be patient with your dog. Keep his environment simple and orderly; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make frequent changes.

If you have multiple dogs If you share your home and your life with more than one dog, you know how they can set each other off. The doorbell rings and deafening, out-ofcontrol barking ensues. You must train each dog individually before you can work with them as a group. It takes a little more effort to settle your pack of wild hounds, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be rewarded with a group of well-mannered dogs.

Barking: Why Dogs Sound Off Dogs have a lot to say, and they do it by barking. They bark to go out, come in, to tell you a strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your yard, and at people, cars, and other animals. Too much barking or barking at inappropriate times can be a problem. You want to be respectful of your neighbours as well as local laws, so you need to get your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barking under control. Reasons for barking You may need to do some clever detective work to determine why your dog barks, especially if it occurs when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not home. Ask your neighbours what they see and hear. Go around the block and watch and listen, or start a tape recorder or video camera when

TARGET

ID#A146478 This neutered male, chocolate Labrador Retriever is about 3 years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on July 26, 2012. Tank loves to play with his toys! Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning to play more gently with them, but he could play all day long. Tank has a busy body and an active mind, so he requires more demanding exercise and mental stimulation to keep him respectful in his home. For now, Tank should be in an adult-only home until he has some additional training. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not live with other dogs, but he has lived with a cat. Tank will need to be enrolled in obedience classes before his adoption can be completed. This will ensure he has the proper structure and discipline needed to be a good canine citizen.

Always plenty to be thankful for

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories or a few loads of gravel for your first car. Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun. Toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box and Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny. I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. In giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, Mother reminded us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted.

Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Sometimes weeks would go by and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand and it was binding. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old Model T or a load of hay or to exchange a steer

Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. I remember him sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the youngest was made to feel important and daily chores, done to a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson. This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy Thanksgiving.

very day back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered. So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades? Those that in recalling them have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock and take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that was more safe and secure. I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk five kilometres of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch our deaths of cold.

Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into that section. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order. After measuring the flour, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit.

Place the remaining flour in the bread pan and then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter. Set the bread machine for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetâ&#x20AC;? cycle or on some machines itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruit and nutâ&#x20AC;? cycle. If it has the automatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, press the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? button. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the â&#x20AC;&#x153;delayâ&#x20AC;? cycle. This recipe makes a 1.5pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before serving.

n one of our visits to Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture.
