EMC news - Francophone youth in need of residential treatment for drug and alcohol abuse will have improved opportunities now that Maison Fraternité’s six-bed addition is complete. The sleek new addition to Maison Fraternité, located at 300 Olmstead Rd. will welcome its first set of youths on Sept. 18. The expansion allows the centre to offer inpatient care for the first time, beyond the day programs currently available for francophone youth in Ontario. Executive director Denis Boileau and his staff see the expansion as a way to offer complete care for struggling francophone youth not just in Ottawa, but across the province. “Imagine being hurt and not being able to express how you feel,” Boileau said. “That is what it has been like for francophone youth in English speaking programs. This new residential centre will offer these youth complete care.” The Olmstead centre currently takes youth from the age of 12 to 18 and helps them learn to deal with drug or alcohol addiction by improving self-esteem, addressing concerns that arise in the home and the effects of peer pressure.

Seniors’ centre celebrates 25th anniversary Centre has grown to over 600 members Brier Dodge

EMC news - The Gloucester Senior Adults’ Centre (GSAC) has come a long way since the early days, when seniors gathered at the Eastern Ontario Resource Centre’s Arrowsmith Drive location. In 1987, they branched off into their own space to officially form their own group, and now, they’re celebrating having more than 600 members at their 25th

anniversary. Debbie Trickey, who went on to become the executive director of the GSAC two years later, was the chairman of the board at the EORC when GSAC was formed. “A lot of things were happening at the same time,” she said. “As time went on, they wanted more space, more time, and their own place. Where they are now used to be a library and the library moved to the new city hall, so the seniors took over.”

Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens

Twenty-five years ago, the work was all being done by volunteers who put in efforts to launch the GSAC on Nov. 22, 1987, with about 125 members. “They had a group of seniors that worked really hard and incorporated and got their registered charity status,” Trickey said. One of the founding members, Louise Estwick, was president of the group before it even had the Gloucester location, and has been able to return several times to see the substantial growth.

“She certainly worked heart and soul to get that place open,” Trickey said. Trickey came to the centre two years later as a full-time executive director and held the same position until her recent April retirement when Sharon Oatway took over. Oatway is still the only fulltime staff member and works with four part-time staff – and several hundred volunteers. “There’s no way the four of us could run this building,” Oatway said.

Increased demand for physical activities for seniors over the years “All of the volunteers are members. That’s one of the guiding principles,� said Oatway. “The fondest memories I have are of the people, and how hard they worked and committed they were to the centre,� Trickey said. “The centre continued to grow and thrive. We did a lot on a small budget.� The centre now has more than 600 members and an average member visits the centre at least once a week, Oatway said. Volunteers keep the centre open late on the evenings and weekends to offer programs and classes the small centre doesn’t have the resources to provide everything it would like to.

The anniversary dinner will be a gala-style dinner and dancing event, but to accommodate all who want to celebrate, the centre-hosted dinner event won’t just be one night. The centre will have to host several dinners of about 150 diners each to be able to accommodate everyone, said board vice-president of programs Betty Joanisse, who has been on the board for four years. The official event will be hosted at Pineview Golf Course on Oct. 16. Tickets will cost $50 for dinner and dancing. COMMUNITY

Trickey looks back on her 23 years at the centre and is proud of the community involvement that the group has had, even as

a charitable group still fundraising for its own costs. Through intergenerational programming with Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School, the seniors and students have formed a solid partnership. The students still come and serve at special dinners, share Remembrance Day with the seniors and interview them for special projects. As a group, they visit Laurier Manor, where students and senior volunteers work with Alzheimer’s disease patients once a month. In the early days of computers, seniors would travel to the school to upgrade from the centre’s basic typewriters. “Over the years, we’ve done countless things in the school,� Trickey said. The seniors have also supported the Gloucester police before they merged with the City of Ottawa, feeding them during the torch run and making teddy bears for police visits to children. They did have a run in with the police once – their Santa Claus was pulled over in full costume on his way to volunteer during an annual Christmas lunch. “They let him go, but he had to do some fast talking,� Trickey said. She said whether it’s been the city of Gloucester or Ottawa, the seniors have always been loyal and keen to give back. “They have to fundraise

Members enjoy one of the many celebrations the centre like this year’s Canada Day lunch. to keep the centre open, but they’ve continued to be very caring in the community as well,� Trickey said. SCHEDULE CHANGES

The first schedule had fairly basic roots – bridge and euchre, bingo, shuffleboard, crafts and a weekly lunch. Open up a copy of the fall 2012 schedule, and the variety in programming has grown tenfold. Classes range from yoga and curolling – which is like indoor curling – to the Latin dancebased Zumba fitness class. Of course, cards and the weekly lunch have firmly kept their place in the schedule. Trickey said the desire for programming evolved into a desire for classes taught by instructors, and started to shift to include an increasing amount of fitness and exercise classes.

“Things have changed dramatically from 25 years ago,� Trickey said. “Now, the place is hopping all the time.� “Crafting has gone by the wayside and people want to do more active things like yoga,� said Joanisse. To accommodate the classes, the centre has started using a downstairs room at its location at the Earl Armstrong Arena. In the future, Joanisse would like to see more types of fitness classes and additional space to accommodate more members. “I can see something like spinning bikes,� Joanisse said. “They love participating together. They like to be with their friends.� The centre is bursting at the seams, but the small space and large membership hasn’t been the worst thing that could have happened to the group. “I think the space makes it friendlier. People are thrown

together,� Trickey said. “I think that warm, caring family atmosphere is a bonus with this small space that you just don’t get when the space is really large.� Trickey said the long-term friendships are important, especially for some of the seniors who live alone. Members who have had medical problems or have lost a spouse have turned to friends at the centre as a support network many times over the years. “They’re there for them 100 per cent,� Trickey said. “People who go through those things and come back to the centre feel very supported.� Oatway said that the active board of directors at the centre has helped to create a tight-knit atmosphere. Joanisse knows almost every single member from their hours and hours spent volunteering at the centre. “The board is very much hands-on,� Oatway said. “They’re living what they’re planning.� For many members, joining the centre lasts the rest of their lives. Even though they’ve moved into long-term care homes, some members still choose to visit the centre via Para Transpo to keep seeing the same friends they’ve enjoyed activities with for years. “I think that it’s the secret to longevity,� Joanisse said. “To be a social person, and laugh with others.�

Hydro Ottawa, Crime Stoppers join forces

Kristy Strauss/Metroland

From left, Colonel By Secondary School students Benny Liu, 16, and Kingsong Chen, 15, hang out at Westboro Beach before the Natural Leaders group’s run from there to Britannia Beach.

Natural Leaders head outdoors Group supported by United Way and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news – Kingsong Chen wanted youth to get more involved in outdoor activities. When he started the Natural Leaders group, he did just that. “The goal is to encourage my fellow peers to get active in the outdoors,” said Chen, before gearing up for a run between Westboro and Britannia beaches.

The 15-year-old Colonel By Secondary School student started the group a couple years ago, which has since received United Way funding and is also supported by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program. Originally, Chen said he came up with the idea to find ways for his friends to get active. The Healthy Children and Healthy spaces conference that took place in Ottawa a couple years ago also provided motivation for the

for youth,” he said. “This is the best way to involve youth.” While Natural Leaders has only been around for a year or two, Chen said he wants the group to get more active in the community in the future. Since it started the group has hosted a biking day to encourage youth to bike around Ottawa, and their next event will be taking part in Clean Up the Capital, which is happening in September. “I hope I’ve made a difference,” Chen said. “And I hope we can inspire other youth to join.” For more information or to get involved, email naturalleadersottawa@gmail.com.

Fatal shooting in Blackburn Hamlet Ottawa police are investigating a homicide comitted in the housing complex at the Emily Murphy Non-Profit Housing Corporation located at 2676 Innes Rd,.

Police said the victim was 22-year-old Levy Kasende, of Ottawa. The case was still under investigation as of press time. Police chief Charles Bordeleau has said that the police’s guns and gangs unit is one of

his top priorities. Earlier this summer, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais called on the city to crack down on guns and gangs and create an action plan. Blais called to see several changes, including updates

to the city’s gun discharge bylaw Another of his points included banning “violent criminals” from subsidized public housing, which falls under provincial jurisdicition.

“Together we are keeping our community safe by teaming up to ensure those individuals who engage in illegal activities, including stealing electricity to power illegal grow houses, are reported,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa. “Many grow houses tamper with electricity wiring, which can be very dangerous for the occupants of the home, the public and our employees.” Hydro Ottawa has presented the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers with a cheque for $3,040. This represents the rewards paid since 2009 for tips that have helped shut down marijuana grow operations. Approximately 100 Hydro Ottawa pick-up trucks and vans will also display a Crime Stoppers decal. “In all, Crime Stoppers has helped recover over $90 million worth of stolen property and illicit drugs since the program began locally in 1985,” said Wayne Bissett, Chairman of the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers. “In 2011, tips led to the arrest of 89 individuals, over 500 charges being laid and the recovery of 15 firearms.” To report a tip anonymously and earn a reward of up to $2,000, call Crime Stoppers at 613-233TIPS (8477) or toll free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The National Capital Area Crime Stoppers is also active online at www.crimestoppers.ca, Facebook, and on Twitter @CrimeStoppersOttawa or text to CRIMES with the keyword ‘tip252.’ Working with Crime Stoppers is just one way Hydro Ottawa is contributing to the well-being of our community. Hydro Ottawa is a community builder, maintaining one of the safest, most reliable electricity distribution systems in Ontario. The company is also dedicated to helping customers use electricity efficiently and teaching children and youth about electricity safety and conservation.

Youth treatment centre ready for guests Continued from front

The beds will be available for youth who need treatment beyond regular working hours. They will receive around the clock care for up to 60 days of treatment and Boileau said if more treatment is needed, stays could be extended even longer. Youth who will be checking in have been identiďŹ ed either by their own family doctors or by school counsellors. In Ottawa, Maison FraternitĂŠ has

counsellors in all the FrenchCatholic schools. These therapists will determine which youth would beneďŹ t from inpatient care. Each patient will have their own room with a bed, desk and closet. The kitchen and laundry rooms are shared and there are two full bathrooms. There is also a designated classroom. While staying at the centre, school work will remain a top priority for the youth, who will work with two full-time educators weekly

and a part-time educator who will be available on weekends. The school board will provide computers for the classroom at the centre. “They can’t fall behind in their school work,� Boileau said. “School will be provided throughout their stay.� It will not be an easy ride for the youth staying at the centre, they will be expected to clean their rooms, washroom and common rooms as well as do their own laundry. They will also have to prepare their own

breakfast and lunch. Dinner will be provided by the centre. Boileau said the residential treatment centre’s budget of $850,000 is based on ďŹ ve beds. The sixth bedroom was not included in the original funding. This bedroom was made possible by the architect and Boileau working together to save space. “We wanted the extra bed just in case, for both a potential growth in the need in the future or in the upcoming year,â€? Boileau said. “We were

fortunate that the architect made it work.â€? Each bedroom is only about three by two metres, but feature large windows. “We wanted the entire space to be ooded with light,â€? Boileau said. Funding for the sixth bed is not secured and Boileau said he will be seeking funding from the city. The 325-square-metre expansion was made possible through Project S.T.E.P., an initiative that tackles drug and

alcohol abuse issues in Ottawa. Currently, youth from Ottawa requiring treatment must travel to facilities located either in Northern Ontario, Quebec or the United States. Project S.T.E.P. is possible through support from the province, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, Health Canada, the Sens Foundation, the Cowan Foundation, Ottawa police, Ottawa Public Health, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre and Ottawa’s four school boards.

STOP the Destructive Mission of a Cigarette Butt Josée Adam, Project Officer

I am a cigarette butt and my mission in life is to cause mass destruction. Yes, I am like an evil superhero, a menace to society. I pride myself for being almost indestructible - I am not biodegradable, so I never really break down and die. I am also made up of harmful chemicals, making me a threat to children, wildlife and the environment. One of my favourite pass-times is to prey on the vulnerable. Toddlers and young children are curious and innocent, so I can easily fool them. For example, the other day, a 16 month-old girl was playing

in a park sand box and noticed me on the ground. She was curious about what I might be and she picked me up and put me in her mouth expecting a surprise. A surprise she did get, but not the one she wanted. She started to choke and her parents had to take her to the hospital. On the way there, the little girl was vomiting, lethargic and gagging because the poisonous material that I am made of was making her sick. She is only one of many who fall prey to my devious nature. My intention is not only to directly

cause harm to toddlers and young children, but I also love to surf the major waterways while contaminating the water with my super-toxic chemicals like lead, arsenic and cadmium. Yes, more than 200,000 of me were collected as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean in 2010. My surfing activity leads fish to believe I am bait and they swallow me. Birds pick me up and bring me to their babies as food or use me as toxic nest-building material. Aha! I again succeed at spreading destruction wherever I go. All this is to say that I am a public nuisance and cities pay a lot of money to try and get rid of me. For example, the City of Ottawa spends $5.5 million dollars every year cleaning litter – including cigarette butts like me – from roads and parks. I am planning to continue my destructive journey and I dare YOU to try and stop my negative health, environmental and financial impacts. Are you up for the challenge? ..................................................... Cigarette butt litter is an important issue that must be addressed. What can you DO to stop its destructive mission?

• Put the evil butts in their place, where they belong: the butt box or a portable ashtray. • Dispose of fully extinguished matches and partially smoked cigarettes as well as lighters and packaging in the garbage bins. DON’T: • Put butts in storm drains • Throw them out of a car window since it can start a wildfire. • Bring them to places where children and toddlers play – parks, beaches and sports fields - or to natural environments that are contaminated by their presence. The fight against their destruction doesn’t end there. The ultimate action you can take is to reduce the numbers of cigarette butts in your community. This requires you to be a superhero in your own right, and to take courageous steps to quit smoking if you are a smoker or to encourage your friends to quit smoking. If you need help butting out, please visit ottawa.ca/ quitsmoking or call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-5806744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Immunization – Update your Child’s immunization Information with Ottawa Public Health Kathy Selst, Public Health Nurse

Routine immunization is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent illness and death from many serious contagious diseases. These diseases, while rare in Ontario due to high vaccination rates, still exist, as seen in recent outbreaks of measles and whooping cough (pertussis).

Students caught in labour battle crossfire

P

lease, won’t someone think of the children? Ontario’s government and teachers’ unions don’t seem to be. The cash-strapped Ontario government and several of the province’s teachers unions are embroiled in a battle over proposed legislation to force a wage freeze on elementary and high school teachers. The unions say they are willing to accept a wage freeze, but call the government’s bill unconstitutional

and a violation of workers’ rights. The bill, titled Putting Students First, also calls for teachers to take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days and elimination of banked sick days. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty insists these measures are necessary to maintain jobs and continue to roll out the full-day kindergarten program across Ontario. Meanwhile, a growing

number of teachers, angry over what they call heavyhanded legislation, are threatening to withdraw voluntary services, such as coaching teams and directing plays after school. The media also has reports of teachers who are considering removing class educational materials they have purchased out of their own pocket. Both the government and the teachers say they are fighting for students’ education.

We beg to differ. The Ontario government’s bill was created to balance the books – and preserve Dalton McGuinty’s legacy as the “education premier.� The teachers are simply trying to preserve their collective bargaining rights. But the kids are getting caught in the middle. If teachers individually choose not to volunteer after school, that could mean fewer extra-curricular activities available for students.

Our children should not be used as a collective bargaining chip. Premier McGuinty, for his part, should keep in mind that teachers freely volunteer their time to provide extracurricular activities for students. The dispute almost seems a little silly, as both sides have agreed a wage freeze is necessary, at least for the short-term. It’s ridiculous that both sides are engaged in what amounts to last-minute

negotiations. A deal should have been worked out months ago. Instead of ironing out a deal, it seems both sides have engaged in a little game of Russian roulette. Unfortunately, it’s the province’s children who will end up the ultimate losers in their little game. Both sides need to abandon their public posturing, and focus instead on working out a deal that addresses their mutual concerns.

COLUMN

Connected on the dock CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

R

eflecting back on the summer just passed, it is possible to conclude that there is something changeless about summer life in Canada – the lakes, the loons, the summer breezes, the sounds of the birds, the roar of the motorboats, the quiet two-lane roads, the trailers in front of you on the two-lane roads, the grilled cheese sandwich beside the highway. There’s good and bad in it, but it hasn’t changed much in decades. Sure the cottages are bigger, the toys are faster and louder and a simple lifestyle that once was common is now regarded as primitive. But can it really stay the same? The time spent at cottages and on the highway this summer makes me wonder. For this was the summer of Wi-Fi, the first of many. In the remotest parts of Northern Ontario, the smallest motels offered Wi-Fi on their signs along the highway. Wi-Fi or some other forms of connectivity were in evidence on devices brought to the cottage. Connectivity was everywhere. Getting away from it all was nowhere. Which is different, because the cottage used to be the one place that was unconnected. Sure, there might be a phone, but nobody used it much. Even the telemarketers didn’t seem to know the number. As for email, it was a distant dream, or nightmare, depending on how you viewed it. This was frustrating for some people, not so for others. The others were perfectly content to find out what was going on in

the city when they got back to the city. They could live without the latest news, the latest blogs. But for some it was frustrating to be out of touch. And you could tell, this summer, by how often they sat with their devices, the phones and iPads and laptops, looking at newly-connected screens. The fact is that for most of us connectedness is no longer an option. People expect us to be online and answer immediately. We open emails with the expectations we used to have about opening the mail. Something good might be there: the Queen wants to meet you, a previously unknown rich uncle has died and left you millions, someone wants to film your life story. Not being able to have access to this news has been a drag. Now the drag is gone and we can stay in the real world – as if life in the city is somehow more real than life beside the lake. Will Wi-Fi spoil the summer experience? Not for those rare individuals who can take it or leave it, who can spend days without looking at a screen and only check their email once a week. But it will definitely be spoiled for those who hoped to spend a few weeks free of people reading them funny items found on the Internet. On the other hand, the absence of connectedness makes some people difficult to live with. They are antsy, irritable, always charging off to the library or the nearest coffee shop to check emails, even if the nearest one is a boat ride away plus many kilometres on the highway. Now that they can check their emails on the dock they will be easier to live with. And when you have a family argument about some arcane movie trivia you can refer it to Google, thus heading off hours of debate. Maybe you can even find the instructions for the chainsaw. You take your small blessings where you can.

Bridge named after former Gloucester mayor Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - A bridge over Green’s Creek has been renamed after former Gloucester mayor Harry Allen. Allen was joined by his family, friends and former political ďŹ gures from his time in Gloucester city hall on Aug. 24 for the unveiling of the commemorative plaque and sign. After moving to Beacon Hill and joining the community association, he became a Gloucester councillor and later mayor. “Those roots start in the parks, they start in the rinks,â€? said Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess. “Have you held a hose at 2 a.m. in -30 degree weather? He has.â€? The bridge is located on St. Joseph Boulevard at the Green’s Creek crossing, close to Blackburn.

Allen worked on having the bridge expanded as a part of the St. Joseph Boulevard expansion, so it is a ďŹ tting spot to name in honour of the former mayor, who now lives in Kanata Lakes. “I’m proud to have a bridge in the community that will forever bear your name,â€? Bloess said. “Every time you drive over it, think of what you’ve done for us.â€? Bloess said that Allen was instrumental in developing many of Gloucester’s recreation facilities, including the Earl Armstrong Arena. He was also focused on infrastructure, overseeing the re-alignment of the Rockcliffe Parkway and the extension of the Queensway. Bloess said that Allen showed courage as a politician because he had to make the decision to signiďŹ cantly raise taxes. “Harry Allen showed courage and leadership

when it came to the budget,â€? Bloess said. Mayor Jim Watson said that Allen “unquestionablyâ€? met the criteria to have a commemorative naming made in his honour. “Harry always stuck to his convictions and the changes he made still remain,â€? Watson said. Allen said that he looks back fondly on the years he spent in ofďŹ ce. “I enjoyed every moment,â€? he said. “Did we have challenges? Yes. We had challenges to ďŹ nancially do what is right. We had to take certain risks, but we had to do what is right.â€? Former regional chairman of Ottawa-Carleton, Andrew Haydon, got up to say a few words at the end of the ceremony. “He had that incredible courage that few people have,â€? Haydon said.

Orléans Young Players jumping into fall programs brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news – The Orléans Young Players Theatre School isn’t the kind of place to slow down and stay quiet. Summer programs have just finished, but they are already looking to their fall open house and upcoming auditions for this year’s all-ages play, A Christmas Carol. The annual open house will be held Sunday, Sept. 9, from 1 to 3 p.m., when kids will have the chance to try on costumes, and do some improv acting with props and set pieces ready to go. Auditions will also be held for the all-ages play. Last year, the youngest participant was four-years-old. Everyone who auditions will be given a part in the play, with the only requirement a desire to act and availability on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. for rehearsal. No monologue or pre-set audition piece is needed for the audition, said office manager Erin Bayne. “They can come as they are. Just be able to show their enthusiasm and participate,” she said. Bayne said that if someone wishes to participate but is unable to make the audition, they can schedule one at another time by calling the Orléans Young Players Theatre School (OYP)

They are back with their regular classes, but have also added a few new sessions. Due to demand, they have added a preschool playtime and a French improv class. “(Preschool playtime) is a play class for children ages two to five and we’re going to have animated story-telling and we’ll explore costumes and creative play,” Bayne said. “We’ve had a lot more people inquiring about things for really small children.” With the success of the English improv program, the theatre school has decided to run a parallel program in French, with one class for youth 12 and older, and another for adults. There will also be a range of specialty workshop classes

Generally with no visual component, radio drama depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the characters and story. It is auditory in the physical dimension but equally powerful as a visual force in the psychological dimension. Not so at OYP where the performance will incorporate the students’ recorded radio work and a live theatre performance. Technical Theatre (ages 14 and up) • Students will work with stage managers, theatre technicians and designers to learn about scripts, casting, rehearsing, design, stage management, special effects and lighting, as well as sound cue design. This course will introduce the student to the principles of scenic design, lighting design, and other technical aspects of the theatre. Students of this class may help to design and cue for the other OYPTS class productions as well as produce their own very cool show for the OYP Spring Student Showcase.

Parliamentary expert tapped as city’s first integrity commissioner laura.mueller@metroland.com

His word will carry weight. Mayor Jim Watson

As a citizen of Ottawa and someone who is well-versed in ethics and integrity issues, Marleau said he felt the role was both important and a good fit for him. A graduate of the University of Ottawa, Marleau served as the interim federal privacy commissioner after 13 years

as the House clerk. He was the information commissioner for Canada for more than two years before abruptly resigning in 2007. He was chosen from a pool of 18 candidates who applied for the job. Mayor Jim Watson said Marleau is respected both locally and nationally. “His word will carry weight,” Watson said. The new integrity commissioner said he sees his role as a resource for councillors to get advice on the sensitive situations that arise from political life. “I think what councillors need is someone they can consult in confidence about issues which emerge around the vul-

nerabilities of public life and have the benefit of an independent, above-the-fray, nonpolitical advisor, and conduct themselves accordingly,” Marleau said, adding, “it would be up to councillors to resolve those issues themselves.” His greatest challenge will be getting to know the politicians and senior staff at city hall, Marleau said. “I’m very familiar with the elected official, but this is a different environment,” R0011554644

EMC news – A veteran expert of Parliament Hill integrity issues has arrived to oversee ethics at city hall. The city announced on Aug. 29 that River Ward resident Robert Marleau, a former clerk of the House of Commons and former federal information commissioner, has been appointed as Ottawa’s first integrity commissioner. Marleau said he was interested in the job because everything was not predetermined and he could have input on the development of things like the council code of conduct. The city’s level-headed ap-

proach to integrity issues impressed him, Marleau said. “Many other governments and public institutions do this under duress because of a crisis of sorts,” Marleau said.

rials for both city politicians and lobbyists so they know what is expected of them. While Marleau said he takes his direction from city council, he said it would be very difficult for him to accept anything less than complete independence. Ottawa is the latest city to jump on the integrity bandwagon, Marleau said. “I think there is a trend in government in North America right now, in all levels, to be a lot more transparent,” Marleau said. Technology makes it difficult for governments to hide anything, he said, so it makes sense to be proactive. “They may as well be clear with the citizen, and they may as well inform them,” he said.

he said. “I have a learning curve.” Marleau’s work will include developing a code of conduct for members of city council, as well as any related policies, such as an expense policy and gifts registry. He will also produce an annual report summarizing complaints, investigations and advice to the city and suggestions for improvements that could be made to the accountability policies he will oversee. But Marleau’s first job will be managing the new lobbyist registry that goes into effect Sept. 1. The online tool lobbyists will use to register is “excellent, simple and intuitive,” Marleau said. Now the next step will be developing mate-

Father took softer approach

W

e much preferred Father over Mother when it came to discipline. Father was so soft-hearted he could never come to give us a swat even if we deserved it. Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to use it. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert.� This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we five kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came. Late one summer, there was an incident. My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days. Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious fight of all time.

But he wasn’t finished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.â€? Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion. “Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie‌ that old horse sure loves humbugs.â€? He then gave me another big wink. Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual sniffles and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any fights.â€? Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy. He walked, filling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door. “Have to run over to Briscoe’s,â€? he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,â€? he added over his shoulder. Mother seemed satisfied. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she “could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle all five of them.â€? And for that, we five kids were mighty grateful.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside. It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand I started to roar as if I had been hit with a two-by-four. It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement. Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken.

Father, if he heard the ruckus, was ignoring it. Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them.� Father took his pipe out of his mouth and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face and followed us all through the double doors. The heat of the day was on our side. Father had been up since dawn and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the discipline was over he was to fill the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.�

Budget 2013: Have Your SaY By Jim Watson

http://www.JimWatsonOttawa.ca

In our first two years, City Council delivered on our commitment to keeping tax increases below 2.5 per cent, and in the upcoming 2013 budget we will do the same. This allows us to continue to invest in our communities, our infrastructure, our transit system and our families in a fiscally responsible manner. Budget 2013 will be tabled on October 24, which means that between now and then I am looking for your input. I am going to be speaking with families and businesses, and consulting with Councillors and staff, on how we can continue to keep taxes under control while protecting the services residents expect. This is a collaborative effort and I value the constructive input I receive each year during the budget consultation process. Last year, I heard consistently from residents that our roads, sidewalks and other infrastructure were not up to par. From this feedback came the creation of the Ottawa on the Move program. We took bold action with a $340-million investment over three years to improve our transportation network for drivers, transit users, cyclists and pedestrians.

Neither cake nor cookies for breakfast

O

ne of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast. She doesn’t believe his defence of “They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake!” So he falls back on what he figures is a winning argument. “But cake is good for you. There’s all sorts of good stuff in it - there’s wheat and eggs and milk.” Needless to say, he doesn’t persuade her. When I saw this recipe for “Breakfast Cookies,” I immediately thought of Cosby’s story. These cookies also have a lotofofthe “good Friends Central stuff” in them: molasses,Farm Experimental eggs, milk, oatmeal, flour, bran and raisins.

Most offer online enrollment with minimal initial investment, as low as $25. Additionally, contributions can be made by more than just a child’s parents. Anyone can contribute to an account or open one on behalf of a child. Many states offer a 529 plan and each state’s plan is different. Morningstar, a leading provider of investment research, provides analysis on the majority of the nation’s 529 plans and rates them based on a variety of key factors. Additional sources for information on 529 plans are SavingForCollege. com as well as CollegeSavings.org. An example of a top-rated Morningstar 529 plan is CollegeAdvantage, Ohio’s college savings plan. Account owners can contribute to a CollegeAdvantage account for as little as $25 and accounts are available to any U.S. resident and funds can be used at any college in the country. “Saving with a 529 plan offers parents, friends and family members an affordable and attainable way to save for their loved one’s future college expenses,” said Richard Norman, interim executive director of Ohio Tuition Trust Authority. “Many times, just beginning the process can help families feel like college is a realistic and achievable goal.” For more information about CollegeAdvantage, or to start saving with Ohio’s 529 plan today, visit www.collegeadvantage.com

(MS) -- Encouraging the use of creative activities and games that challenge your children to think outside the box and build their problem solving skills at an early age will help encourage them to become independent thinkers and problem solvers -- skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Giving your child simple games such as building blocks that require identifying different shapes is a great way to start building problem solving skills. For older children, more challenging games may

be required to build their problem solving abilities and their confidence in taking on greater challenges. One new game that has caught the attention of educators and parents alike is the new Perplexus 3D game maze by Plasmart Inc. This is a 3-dimensional maze game where players manoeuvre a small marble around challenging barriers inside a large-sized transparent sphere. Unlike traditional flat-surface mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus challenges players’ problem solving abilities with numerous

paths to choose from and hundreds of barriers to overcome. Players can race each other or the clock. In addition to being an entertaining game, it’s a valuable tool for cognitive development, encouraging children to exercise their problem-solving, motor and dexterity skills, as well as improving their hand-eye coordination. Experts say the game is just as challenging for adults as it is for children and will especially keep parent solving skills sharp as well.

According to FinAid.org, parents who put aside just $50 per month from the time their child is born can grow a nest egg of more than $20,000 by the time that child turns 18, assuming a 7 percent return on investment. Increasing those contributions to $100 per month can yield more than $43,000. While there are a number of college savings vehicles to choose from, savers should keep in mind that a 529 plan is a tax-free and, in some cases, state tax-deductible option.

(MS) -- Setting goals is often the first step to achieving your hopes and dreams for yourself and your family. Making a plan, however, is crucial to making those dreams a reality. This is especially true when it comes to a college education for your children. Starting a college savings plan when your children are young sets you on a path for success and can help you reduce the need for expensive student loans down the road. Establishing a college savings plan early and contributing to it often is the key to reducing, or even eliminating, student loan debt. According to the Project on Student Loan Debt, the average student-loan debt increased 24 percent to $23,200 in 2008,

Citizen advisory groups slashed from 15 to five Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – Twenty-three people lined up to give city councillors their swan song for advisory committees on Aug. 30. After it was all over, the city’s governance renewal subcommittee and finance committee had slashed the number of official citizen advisory groups from 15 to five. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mercy killing.” The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, making the act of killing them simply the final stage, Brocklebank said. “Put advisory committees out of their misery,” he said. Patrick Quealey, former chairman of the environmental advisory committee, agreed, saying that the groups have been treated “disrespectfully and shabbily” by the city. “At a time when people are

Official citizen advisory groups have been reduced, and the Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee has been shifted from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee. disengaging … these people want to participate. That should be valued,” Quealey added. Many of the 23 delegates who spoke to the committee on Aug. 30 agreed it was time for some changes to advisory committees. In 2011, 48 advisory committee meetings were cancelled due to lack of quorum, and most were cancelled at the last moment, which is administratively expensive for the city.

Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians. Other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful as well, according to a report from the city clerk’s office. Representatives from the

Federation of Citizens’ Associations were disappointed that the advisory committee restructuring wasn’t presented in a context of a broader citizen engagement strategy, something that won’t happen until December. “This kind of sounds like a bureaucratic triumph over common sense,” said Don Stewart of the FCA. The mandates of the five new advisory committees will be: accessibility; arts, culture, heritage and recre-

ation; community services; environmental stewardship; and French language services. They will officially meet quarterly, but each group can call additional informal meetings. While some topics like poverty and diversity will no longer have a dedicated advisory group, the function of many of the advisory committees will be absorbed in other ways. The transit commission and health board both now have citizen members who can represent residents on those topics, the city’s report states and business groups are to be represented by Invest Ottawa (formerly OCRI). Rural issues have a forum during the open mike sessions at agriculture and rural affairs committee meetings. The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee will evolve from a citizen group into a subcommittee of planning committee, with representation from three citizen experts and four city councillors. That was a point of contention amongst heritage advocates, who told the committee that the unbalanced representation would eliminate the group’s effectiveness. “Ottawa is proposing to become an anomaly of heritage in Ontario,” said Leslie Maitland, president of Heritage Ottawa.

The built heritage committee used to have council members on its roster, but they asked to be removed, Maitland pointed out. But planning committee chairman Peter Hume argued the change would create “advocates” for heritage issues on city council. “Right now, there are no council advocates around the table for heritage,” he said, adding that more time spent on heritage issues alongside experts would give built heritage subcommittee councillor members the ammunition and expertise they need to defend heritage issues to their council colleagues. A more formal structure will help the city attract the kind of citizen experts it wants to see on the committee, Hume said, referencing the problems the city has had in recruiting built heritage committee candidates. Maitland took exception to that. A four-time published author with 35 years of experience in architectural heritage, she applied two years ago and never received a response. While the advisory committee structure did need an overhaul, the city missed the mark on the built heritage committee, Maitland said. “You’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken,” she said.

Greely Sand & Gravel Gives Back! 2012 Loads of Love Campaign Raises $25,380 for CHEO.

Greely Sand & Gravel donated $5 from every household load of landscaping supplies, picked up or delivered.

This past spring, Greely Sand & Gravel did the impossible, transforming loads of topquality soil, stone, sand and mulch into loads of money for the Childrens’ Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

“CHEO was there for us when our children were young, and now CHEO is there for our grandchildren,” explains Greely Sand & Gravel Owner Brent Pyper.

For over 30 years, Greely Sand & Gravel has been a family owned and operated company that really cares about their community. The idea behind Loads of Love was simple: During their busiest time of year, from April 15th to June 30th,

The response from customers was overwhelming, and the campaign raised an incredible $25,380. This year, for the third year running, Greely Sand & Gravel is supporting CHEO’s Dream of A Lifetime. Greely Sand & Gravel’s giving just keeps on growing!

ONTARIO’S #1 METAL ROOF BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Shahrazad Hassan, 16, took part in the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa’s summer youth employment program, working at the Gloucester Old Navy for the six weeks of the program. Hassan will stay on as a part-time employee once the summer is over. be possible,” she said. “Programs like these are important because they bring together the employers and the young people.” Shahrazad’s employer was equally satisfied. The Gloucester Old Navy has agreed to keep her on as a part-time employee when she returns to high school this year. Several employers in the YSB program offered permanent positions to students. Marwan Saeed, 15, said receiving an offer to return as a camp counselor at Alexander Community Centre was exciting. The Merivale High School student, who plans to become

an English and physical education teacher, said the job was a perfect fit for her career ambition. “It was a great experience,” he said. “I hope the YSB program grows so more youth can get the same experience.” Marwan said he divided up his paycheques and donated part of the money to his basketball team, saved some for post-secondary education, and gave some to his parents. His boss was Earl Jones, who has been working with the program for six years, matching up YSB students, and often hiring several to stay on. “Every year I have two or three that shine, they turn

around and become role models,” he said to the YSB students graduating from the summer program. “Don’t ever say to yourself, I’m too young.

She said she would tell students considering applying next year to “go for it. With YSB, they open doors.”

EMC news - This summer, 256 youth were able to find summer jobs through the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa’s summer jobs program. The youth services bureau (YSB) ran three days of workshops for the youth, who came from lower-income Ottawa neighbourhoods, to teach resume and interview skills before they applied for jobs with businesses that are members of the program. Shahrazad Hassan, 16, was one of the students placed. From east Ottawa, she was happy to get a job working in retail at Old Navy in Gloucester. “It was amazing, I really liked the experience,” she said. “They prepare you (and) teach you about workplace safety. They helped find a workplace that you would enjoy.” It was the first job for all the youth placed, and the first time they received their own paycheques. Shahrazad saved most of her earnings to pay for a class trip to France this year that will be taken by her class at De La Salle high school. “You feel more independent,” she said. Shahrazad said that without the program, many of her friends the same age were working in fast-food restaurants in environments they didn’t necessarily enjoy. YSB sets them up with jobs partner employers, who agree to take on a certain number of students from the program for the six-week placement. YSB executive director Joanne Lowe said the program was important because it gave the students all a chance to earn their first paycheques. “It was a chance to see what’s out there, and what may

Country singers come to local farmers’ aid Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Pull out some cowboy boots, put on a Stetson and get down to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium where a benefit concert featuring six Canadian country music acts is set to take the stage on Sept. 16. The Ottawa Stadium Group announced the concert on Aug. 28, which will raise money to help drought-stricken Ottawaarea farmers. Among the performers at the day-long concert will be local country crooner Gail Gavin. Hailing from the Ottawa valley area, Gavin’s close friends and neighbours are farmers and she said she jumped at the chance to take part. “The foundation of the Ottawa valley is the farmers, what would we do without them?” Gavin said. “My heart goes out to them and I had to help.” Famous for her tunes about the valley, the singer promised her show would include the Farmer’s Song and sing-a-

The concert will take place at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium on Sept. 16. longs for the audience. “It is going to be fun, toetapping and a real celebration of what the Ottawa valley is,” Gavin said. The Ottawa Stadium Group has partnered with DNA Presents, which recently ran the Escapade Music Festival at

the stadium, to help organize the day. Profits of the concert will benefit farmers purchasing seed for the 2013 crop. “With so many of our local farmers struggling, hosting a country benefit concert was a natural fit,” said Don Foley,

chairman of the Ottawa Stadium Group “Ottawa Stadium Group is truly thrilled to be able to help Ottawa’s farmers, while enjoying some of Canada’s best country musicians. This benefit concert will satisfy the Ottawa Valley’s love for country and help local

farmers - it’s truly a win-win situation.” Gavin said she hopes this concert is only the beginning of help for the farmers. She even applauds the urban location. “We have them (benefits) in the valley, but this is a way for

Farmers are the salt of the Earth. They are where it all begins, when it comes to human beings living.” Gavin’s show includes fiddler Louis Schryer and the Ryan Brothers. Canadian country artists Paul Brant, Emerson Drive, Michelle Wright, Jason Blaine and Ambush will also perform. Tickets for the concert went on sale on Aug. 30th.

Orléans EMC - Thursday, September 6, 2012

EMC news - The O-Train will be off the rails for the entire summer of 2013. The temporary 18-week shutdown is part of a $59-million project to add two passing tracks and six new trains to increase service frequency on the busy north-south rail line. When the upgrades are complete and service resumes on Sept. 3, 2013, O-Train service will have increased to every eight minutes from 15 minutes. The increase in service will help reduce transit congestion when the city’s east-west Light Rail Transit (LRT) line is under construction beginning next year. OC Transpo will offer a replacement bus service while the O-Train is shut down from April 27 to Sept. 2, 2013; however, the city has not decided how frequently shuttles would run. The bus service will be included in the 2013 budget to be debated this fall and OC Transpo passengers will be informed of the changes when

the temporary shutdown draws closer, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. The downtime will coincide with the lighter summer term for Carleton University – the most significant destination on the O-Train line. The work also aligns with other planned O-Train-related construction: upgrades to the Rideau River bridge, the Carleton University pedestrian pathway and Sawmill Creek Bridges, the Dow’s Lake tunnel and Highway 417 overpass retaining walls. The information was revealed in a memo to city councillors this week in advance of a request for proposal for the construction work. An “experiment” that begin in 2001, the O-Train has now reached capacity on some trips. At first only about 5,100 to 6,400 people were taking the train each day, but ridership has soared to 12,000 trips daily. People have taken more than 16 million trips on the train since it launched. Adding six trains and two passing tracks is expected to give the O-Train line another 20 years of life.

Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK Tupelo is a neutered male, black and yellow brindle retriever and Labrador mix who is about three years old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 4. Tupelo loves to spend time with his human companion. He is very shy but a slow, gentle approach can win him over. He has a wonderfully gentle personality and gets along well with adults and teens who can understand that he is a little timid of fast approaching people, animals and objects. Tupelo needs an owner who will help him overcome his timid nature and allow him to experience all the world has to offer. He needs lots of daily exercise like long walks to new places and a chance to explore different environments.

Cotton ID#A144671 Cotton is a neutered male, pure white Domestic Medium hair cat who lives up to his name – he’s a soft, cuddly ball of cotton! He’s about three years old and was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on June 14. Cotton is declawed on all four paws and deaf: he needs to remain an indoor-only cat to keep him safe. He loves to play with a large variety of toys and will need lots of toys to keep him occupied in his new home. He gets along with children of all ages but would rather not live with other cats. He has one gold eye and one blue eye.

Having issues witH tHe local wildlife? You are not alone.

These animals have largely managed to adapt well to our presence. Humans, on the other hand, are still mastering this living arrangement. It is important for people to understand the need for effective, lasting, and humane solutions to occasional conflicts with wildlife. If you find an injured wild animal that is bleeding, has a broken limb, is walking in circles or falling over when walking, or another obvi-

ous injury, please contact Ottawa Humane Society’s Emergency Services at 613725-1532.

For large wildlife, such as deer, moose and bear, please call Ottawa Police Services at 613-236-1222. If a wild animal does not show any signs of injury, then it is best to leave it alone. Wildlife issues are temporary problems and there are solutions. It seems daunting, but if you work out a solution, you can make sure you never have this problem again. Property owners are responsible for dealing with their wildlife situation humanely and legally. There are solutions and tips available at www.ottawahumane.ca to get the animals to relocate on their own.

Please be advised that although you are only seeing one animal, it may not be alone. The birthing season runs from late February to early October, and the babies are helpless when first born and not yet able to leave their nest or den with mom. If you scare the mother away, she may abandon her young. It is critical not to trap young inside, as they will perish, possibly falling between walls and requiring expensive drywall removal and causing very bad odours if they die in inaccessible areas. Many birds fly into windows at this time of year. The sun is low in the sky and causes some unusual reflections.

If a bird hits your window, confine the bird in a ventilated box, with a covered

After one hour, they can take the box outside and open it. It may take a few moments for the bird’s eyes to adjust to the light. If it flies away – perfect! The bird was simply stunned. If it does not fly away it needs care. Contact the Wild Bird Care Centre at 613-828-2849. If you have further questions about wild animals, you may contact the Ottawa Humane Society at 613-725-3166 ext. 262, or send an email to ohs@ottawahumane.ca.

hot water bottle in the bottom. The box should be closed, which helps slow down the bird’s metabolism, and placed in a warm area of the house that is isolated from people and pets. Leave the bird alone for one hour.

Taurus, there are many opportunities within your reach, but you are not sure which way to go. Seek advice from Sagittarius when you get a spare moment. Others can see you haven’t been yourself lately, Gemini. So relax and take a break from something that’s been bothering you, and you will return to being your old self. You won’t be disappointed. Now is not the time for dawdling, Cancer. You have a full plate of things to tackle and it seems like the hours will be slipping away. Recharge and get focused. Leo, don’t let anyone discourage you when tackling a big project. As you have proven time and again, you simply need to establish a goal and your efforts will help you achieve it. Virgo, though you may not know where your path will lead this week, you are deeply aware that an adventure is in store. Take some time to prepare your mind and body.

Libra, no one will know who you truly are unless you share a few secrets. You don’t have to give everything away, but allow others in by sharing some personal information. Scorpio, though you don’t shy away from challenges, you do know when to pick your battles. When something inconsequential comes up this week, let it pass. Sagittarius, when a past conflict resurfaces this week, push it aside because that is ancient history. It is better to focus on the positive things that are in store for you. Capricorn, when you love someone, it can be difficult to step aside and let this person make his or her own choices. But this is what you have to do for lessons to be learned. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach at work this week, Aquarius. Delegate some tasks so everything goes smoothly and your project is completed on time. Learning from your weaknesses can help you to grow stronger, Pisces. Accept a challenge that is presented this week, even if it scares you.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

You are on a roll, Aries, and now it is just a matter of maintaining the momentum for a few more days. Don’t let anyone slow you down this week.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Pigmented spots, also called “dark spots”, are often on the short list of common esthetic concerns.
