College student conserves piece of 1800s Canada
JENNIFER MCINTOSH
As Scott McCreary pon-ders a future in the curator fi eld with a possible mas-ters, he can be thankful for the experience he gained thanks to his studies at Al-gonquin College.
McCreary, who is in his third year of museum stud-ies at Algonquin, managed to get a job with Parks Canada this last summer as part of the Federal Stu-dent Work Experience Pro-gram (FSWEP) and helped to prepare a 19th century British gunboat for a trip to Prescott, Ont.
He credits the chance to the hands-on work he did at the college, having access to labs where he could look at real artifacts donated by various organizations throughout Ottawa and the valley.
“I never realized how
interesting it would be to restore artifacts and learn their history,” he said.
The boat – originally ex-cavated from the bottom of Brown’s Bay in the 1960s – was moved to Prescott’s Fort Wellington.
WAR OF 1812
Fort Wellington was built during the war of 1812 to protect the St. Lawrence shipping route between Montreal and Kingston. The work was done in prepara-tion to highlight the fort’s expansion and modernized visitor’s centre planned for re-opening in May 2012, though the move started in early August.
A team of conservation specialists worked on the boat most of the summer to ready the vessel for trans-port.

McCreary said he had a hand in stabilizing por-tions of the boat that may have had the potential to slip out of balance while being moved.
The crew also removed several part of the boat: the rudder, two cross-beams and the transom were transported sepa-rately.
“It was so amazing to see it all come together piece by piece like that,” McCreary said.
Once the restoration work was complete, the gunboat was loaded onto a fl atbed truck and trans-ported along County Road 2, with a police escort, at a top speed of 20 kilometres per hour.
Once in Prescott, the boat was placed on the foundation of the new vis-
itor’s center, the walls of which will then be built around the large vessel, encasing it in the win-dowed showroom where it will help fort interpre-
ers tell the story of the War of 1812. The two hun-dredth anniversary of the war with the United States will be marked at many sites next year.

In what will likely be a fi rst for Barrhaven – and possibly all of Ottawa – Nancy Salgueiro will share her childbirth experience with computer users sometime in the next few weeks.
Salgueiro is due to give birth to her third child on Oct. 5. The birth will be live streamed to the web.
Both Salgueiro’s fi rst two chil-dren – Leilani, 4, and Taivus, 2 – were born at home, and while their arrival was captured on video, her third child with hus-band Mike Carreira is expected to be viewed by a much larger audience.
The planned online birth is no publicity stunt. Salgueiro wants attention focused on nat-ural childbirth, not her.
“Things stand in our way to giving birth naturally,” Sal-gueiro said. “It’s been taken
away.”She said until recent gen-
erations, children saw their mothers, aunts and others go through childbirth right where the family lived.
“Birth has been taken out of the homes and made all se-cret and unknown,” she said. “(Births) you’ve seen on TV; it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s not what a real birth is like. That’s a disturbed, medicalized event.
“Birth isn’t a medical event. It’s just normal physiology.”
THIRD CHILD
Leilani was born in the fam-ily’s previous home in Bar-rhaven, and Taivus emerged right in the living room where Salgueiro is being interviewed. The couple’s next child will be born in the same spot – in a large tub of water – if plans work out. Then again, child-birth doesn’t always follow a script, so last-minute changes are possible.
Anyone who’d like to take in the experience from their com-puter can visit www.yourbirth-coach.com, a natural childbirth
website Salgueiro created as part of her chiropractic prac-tice. There’s a link there to reg-ister so you get an email when her labour begins.
It’s not possible to say how long Salgueiro’s labour may last this time, but she says Leilani arrived 55 hours after her wa-ter broke, while Taivus’s birth took just six hours. Of course, the actual arrival is just the end result; the labour itself is just as much part of the learning experience for viewers.
The website includes links to natural birth videos, includ-ing Taivus’s arrival in March 2009. In it, Leilani can be seen in the room, picking out a book to read and taking the situation in stride.
Salgueiro laughs when she
says the seven-minute clip should have a “PG rating.” That’s because she gives birth in a tub of water while wearing a swimsuit, so her body is mostly a blur, but the goings on above the water and the emergence of her son are easy to follow.
Both her children have seen videos of their births and Sal-gueiro says they haven’t been scared by what they have seen. She said she and Carreira have been open about the process and the children accept what they’ve learned and observed.
“From teenagers up, they should see it (a natural child-birth),” she said. “There’s a generation of women who have never been better prepared to give birth.”
Salgueiro suggests all women entering their fertile years do their own research on their op-tions. She added that even wom-en who have had a C-section should consider subsequent births at home with a midwife if they are physically able to do so.
“Set yourself up for the best possible birth the fi rst time,” she said. “Get all the informa-tion and empower yourself.”

A travel survey will have phones ringing across Ottawa for the next 10 weeks.
The origin-destination survey began Sept. 22, with professional interviewers calling thousands of randomly selected residents on both sides of the Ottawa Riv-er to gather information about daily travel patterns.
Telling the interviewer how you travelled today will improve travel for tomorrow. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and the data collected will be used by transportation planners for years.
Interviewers will ask where all household members travelled to in the course of one day, why and when they went, and how they got there. The interviews are voluntary and confi dential.
Calls will take place Tuesday through Friday, between 4.30 and 9.30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Results are expected to be available by summer 2012. They will show, for example, how people’s travel choices have changed.

With construction of a new patient care wing as a back-drop, James Gary Beach, a lo-cal businessman, announced a personal gift of $5 million to the Queensway Carleton Hos-pital Foundation and its Care Grows West Campaign on Sept. 22.
Appropriately, the four-sto-rey wing currently under con-struction will be named the James Beach Health Care Cen-tre.
“My father, James Beach, was cared for at Queensway Carleton Hospital, as was I,” said Beach. “This is my com-munity, it is where I live, where I do business and I want to show my appreciation and sup-port of my hospital. Through this donation, I am proud to honour the legacy of my father and grandfather, both named James Beach, as I am too.”
Staff, physicians, volunteers and donors were on hand to celebrate the gift.
“Mr. Beach has the heart of a true philanthropist and we are honoured to welcome him into the QCH family,” said QCH Foundation executive director Melanie Adams. “This is truly a gift from which the entire community will feel the ben-
efi ts for years to come – a gift which will just keep giving.”
“The hospital is thrilled and grateful to accept this gener-ous gift which will have such a signifi cant impact on our expansion program and our health care services,” added Tom Schonberg, QCH’s presi-dent and CEO. “I am pleased to announce that we will be nam-ing this new wing the James Beach Health Care Centre and I look forward to unveiling the signage when we open the cen-tre next summer.”
OPERATING ROOMS
The $126-million redevelop-ment project includes a new, 12,600-square-metre, four-sto-rey structure which will have capacity to add two additional fl oors in the future. Included in the new wing construction are:
• Expansion of operating rooms from 7 to 10 suites.
• Increased endoscopy capac-ity from two to three suites.
• Expansion and enhance-ment of ambulatory programs and facilities.
• Addition of new dialysis service with 15 stations serv-ing 100 patients.

What’s in a name? According to an Ottawa man,
a lot. Kirk Brant, a communica-
tions offi cer for Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Development Canada, said he was driving down Prince of Wales Drive two months ago when he saw a sign advertising registration for a youth football team – the Ne-pean Redskins.
“I was blown away,” he said. “Growing up in Kanata, I was usually one of the only native kids in school and when I was called a Redskin there was al-ways a fi st behind it.”
Upon returning home he fi red off an email to the club’s presi-dent, but received no response.
“Historically it’s always had racial connotations,” he said of the team’s chosen name. “It’s unacceptable for that to be the name of a children’s football team.”
Then he contacted the media. Though Brant said he has had
to turn down requests for inter-views and is a little surprised by the media attention, he said he is glad that the issue is in the spotlight.
Since his initial interview, there has been a Facebook group started called Change the Racist Team Nickname of the Nepean Redskins.
“That’s completely indepen-dent of me,” Brant said. “But I was glad to see people engag-
ing.”As of Sept. 22, there were 469
members of the group, created by Ian Campeau.
“It’s hard to believe that in this day and age we still have racism that lurks around us,” one person wrote on the online wall of the group.
Brant said when the fi rst arti-cle appeared, there were several comments by people who said the name should stay, but no one argued that it wasn’t racist.
He said it’s indicative of an attitude in Canada.
“There’s a certain acceptance of racism against Indians in Canada,” he said, adding that a teacher in Grade 6 tried to tell him he didn’t exist.
As a child, when he was teased because of his race, Brant said it would trigger the urge to fi ght. As an adult he tries to resist it.
“But I couldn’t just sit by and let it be. That’s like accepting it,” he said.
Brant said there is local prec-edent to support the argument. South Carleton High School changed the name of their ath-letics team from the Redskins to the Storm during the 1996-97 school year.
Steve Dean, the president of the Nepean Redskins, didn’t respond to repeated calls for interviews, but told other me-dia that only one person in the last fi ve years has wrote to him and asked to have the name changed.
The club was formed in 1978
and the fi rst team that was at the mosquito level and billed as the Barrhaven Buccaneers. The club was renamed the Redskins in 1981.
The club currently has fi ve age groups – tyke through
midget – and plays their home games at South Nepean Park in Barrhaven.
Brant, who also happens to be an artist, said he can see how a community team for youth may have concerns about the costs
of changing their name, but said residents would likely get behind any such effort.
“I would be more than happy to donate some of my work for an auction or something to raise money for that,” he said.

A recent minor sensation was the revelation that someone has ranked Ottawa the eighth-worst-dressed city in the world. The
newspapers were full of it.The ranking was done by the website
MSN Travel and, to be fair, our city was in good company. Among the cities considered to dress worse than Ottawa were San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Vancouver (the yoga pants), Maui (the Hawaiian shirts) and Orlando (the Disney costumes).
Nevertheless, it still hurts, doesn’t it? You get up in the morning, put on your best blue suit and matching blue tie, then turn on the Internet and fi nd that very suit and that very tie used to illustrate an article on Ottawa’s bad fashion sense.
“As a city populated by suit-and-tie civil servants, there is zero audacity to be different and nary a fashion effort is made,” says the article. “Everyone looks like they’re frozen in the 1980s. Men sport the same boring navy suits that hang like shapeless curtains across their shoulders, women choose sensible shoes, sedate co-lours and are unremarkably respectable, and everyone is just so matchy matchy.”
Well, how seriously should we take this? Not at all. For one thing, the picture
is obviously a fake – the guy in the suit is not wearing I.D. tags around his neck.
For another thing, there is more to life than how you look. How you eat, for example, and how you fi sh.
For a third thing, not caring about how you dress shows an absence of vanity, vanity being a terrible thing. Also, not caring how you dress saves you a lot of money.
That being the case, Ottawa should, logically, place high on the list of Cities That You Don’t Have to Spend a Lot of Money to Live In.
But, for a fourth thing, who says we look so bad? Who makes these rules? People on the Internet, that’s who.
The rules are very arbitrary, and pos-sibly wrong. Suppose you walked down the street in Maui and you weren’t wear-
ing a Hawaiian shirt. People might point at you and snicker. Suppose you showed up in Orlando not wearing sandals and Bermuda shorts. People would think you were an undercover police offi cer.
Guys in Seattle are being attacked now for wearing the same fl annel shirts that made the city cutting edge a few years ago.
A fashion sense has to be a fl exible thing and people in Ottawa are doing the best they can under diffi cult circum-stances.
It used to be much easier. You wore your suit and tie every day, sometimes changing your tie. Then the idea of ca-sual Fridays arrived. For a while that was OK: it just meant suit, no tie, or tie, no jacket. Then it became sports shirts and different kinds of pants.
More complicated. To make matters worse, there was the shifting nature of the work week. Not everybody worked Monday to Friday. So, if you had Fri-day off, did that make Thursday casual Thursday? Even if you were the only one in the place without a tie on?
You can bet the folks at MSN Travel weren’t thinking a lot about these factors.
Not everyone in the city is hostile to the idea that we could dress better. For
example, owners of clothing stores – sur-prise! In a newspaper interview, one sug-gested that younger Ottawans are making an attempt to improve.
“It’s people that have at the same time, adopted some of that casual dress code, but they’re trying to make that the best that they can,” he said. “It’s a little better than wearing Dockers and a golf shirt to go to work.”
Wait a second: Are you saying Dockers and golf shirts are bad? And the Hawai-ian shirt is out too? So much to learn, and so little time.
Anyway, how much effort can we be expected to make when we know we have to hang the I.D. tags over it?

Research your pet purchase
In the wake of one of the largest puppy-mill rescues in recent history, a proposal to get Ottawa to ban the inhumanely bred dogs at local pet stores is getting a lot of attention.
As it should. The conditions of more than 500 dogs were forced to live in at an Outaouais puppy mill highlighted the need for renewed animal-protection laws.
But is strengthening a city bylaw really going to accomplish that goal?
Pet shops aren’t the fi rst stop for most people looking to buy a new pet.
Besides breeders, shelters and pet shops, clas-sifi ed ads and the Internet are two of the most common places to look for a new pet and unfor-tunately, that’s how many puppy-mill breeders sell their animals, which are often sick and mistreated.
There is not much the city can do to prevent that.
While one suffering dog is one too many, an Ottawa bylaw would only have an impact on fewer than a handful of stores that sell dogs in this city.
There are only four pet stores that don’t get
animals from the humane society, according to Coun. Mark Taylor, chair of the city’s commu-nity and protective services committee.
What is needed, he says, are strong regula-tions – and penalties – at the provincial and federal levels.
In Ontario in 2005, the province added a hefty fi ne of up to $50,000 for puppy mill operators who break the Ontario Society for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Federally, Canada’s animal cruelty law dates to the original criminal code from 1892. The fi nes were increased in 2008, but anti-animal cruelty advocates want the defi nition of “abuse” strengthened.
In the meantime, prospective puppy parents can do their part: don’t buy from a breeder unless you are allowed to contact references and see the conditions in which the animal was raised.
Why not rescue an unwanted dog by adopt-ing from a shelter such as the Ottawa Humane Society?
The best way to put a stop to puppy mills is to stop buying from them.

Traffi c jams and slow downs for the residents in the area of Fisher Avenue and Meadowlands Drive were a constant reality this summer as the city started work on replacement of water and sewer pipes and road repaving project.
And there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.
The project was short listed and fast-tracked due to several water main breaks in the area. To alleviate annual budget pressures, the work was divided into three phases and will stretch down Meadowlands from Fisher to Tiverton Drive.
Heidi Cousineau, the project manager for the city, told residents on Sept. 13 that the city is aiming to have all of the phas-
es of the project completed in 2013, but the date couldn’t be guaranteed without approval from council.
The fi rst phase of the project – from Fisher to Hogan Street – is well under way and will be completed this winter, according to Cousineau. The design for the second phase – Tiverton to Inverness Avenue – is essentially done.
The work from Hogan to Inverness should be completed next year.
The measures to control traffi c are as yet unknown, but there will be a period with only one lane open in the eastbound direction.
The city is well aware of the state of the underground infrastructure and has made the project a priority,” she said. “One of the watermain breaks between Hogan and Ness Street last year meant an entire section couldn’t be repaired.”
Road work dates uncertain
Ottawa police are inves-tigating a series of retail robberies that could be related.
Between Sept. 2 and 21, seven robberies and at-tempted robberies have occurred across the city during the early morning hours.
The two most recent occurred on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
In that case, two sus-pects wearing balaclavas tried to gain entry to a re-
tail outlet on the 800 block of Stonehaven Drive in Kanata at around 2:35 a.m. One of the suspects was seen carrying a gun.
They were unable to break into the store and left on foot.
HANDGUNS
Around 3 a.m. the same night, two suspects wear-ing masks tried to gain entry at a store on the 1900 block of Prince of Wales
Drive in Nepean. They were unable to enter and left on foot.
During the robberies the suspects were seen to be carrying handguns and have stolen cash, ciga-rettes and other items.
Anyone with informa-tion with respect to the robberies is asked to con-tact the Ottawa police rob-bery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or anonymously at Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Algonquin students have a leg up on their expenses thanks to a new bursary courtesy of Scotiabank.
The bank signed over a $200,000 cheque to the college on Sept. 22, which will be used to establish a bursary for students demonstrating fi nancial need in the busi-ness administration program.
“We are very supportive of sports and medical research too, but education is key,” said Scotiabank district vice-presi-dent Emily Farrell. “It’s important be-
cause young people are our future.”Students on all three of the college
campuses will have access to the bursary. At Woodroffe it’s called business admin-istration and at the Perth and Pembroke campuses the program is called offi ce ad-ministration executive.
The cheque will be managed by the Al-gonquin College Foundation, which was established in 2003 to raise money for stu-dent bursaries, awards, scholarships, pro-gram equipment, facility enhancements. Since its inception, the foundation has created 180 endowed bursaries to support students facing fi nancial challenges.

It’s been a long time coming, but we fi nally found a burger worthy of the Grandma name. We started
with prime rib – a premium cut of beef with more mouth-watering fl avour than most burgers can
handle. Then we nestled it in a toasted bun and topped it off with caramelized onions, making a
burger so tasty you’ll think your Grandma made it.
Or, at least that’s what you’ll tell her. Your address here.
It’s not just good. It’s Grandma good.

Spin your own clay pottery, try your hand at dramatic theatre, create a Victorian collage, and more during this year’s Culture Days event.
Hundreds of cities and towns across Canada are participating in the second annual weekend fi lled with culture and creativity. Everyone is welcome to try out a new activity on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 and 2.
The best part about the week-end? Each interactive workshop and activity allows visitors to experience something totally new or different for free.
“The purpose of Culture Days is to make culture accessible to everyone,” says Marcelle Kim-berley, event co-ordinator for the City of Ottawa. “Free activities allow for anyone to experience culture in its many shapes and forms.”
Get up close and personal with artists, actors, architects and many others involved with the creative cultural community of Ottawa as they present hands-on demonstrations.
“There are activities for ev-eryone, not just for kids,” says Kimberley. “A great part of the event is that it gives you the op-
portunity to try something new without having to commit to it.”
For those with a little fl air for the dramatic, be sure not to miss open rehearsals at the Ottawa School for Speech and Drama, cabaret performances at the Or-pheus House and improvisation-al acting at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre.
Experiment and create with clay to see if you have what it takes to become a master potter with many workshops dedicated to teaching pottery both free-hand and with a potter’s wheel. The Nepean Visual Arts Centre and the Canadian Museum of Civilization are both offering classes throughout the week-end.
With over 140 activities listed, there’s something for everyone at this year’s Culture Days. Plan your weekend full of everything from button making and water-colour painting to hand drum-ming and circus workshops.
Before heading out to an activ-ity, be sure to check dates, times and age requirements as these vary for each site during the weekend. For more information or a complete list of workshops and activities, email [email protected] or visit culturedays.ca

Requiring pet shops to sell cats and dogs from shelters isn’t a good idea for Ottawa, according to the chair of the city’s community and protec-tive services committee.
The proposal, which came from the Ottawa Human Soci-ety’s executive director Bruce Roney the day Toronto passed a similar bylaw, could lead to some “bruised feelings” be-tween the city and the humane society, said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor.
That’s because the animal welfare group went public with the idea instead of discussing it with the city fi rst, he said. And it’s happening only a few months after the humane soci-ety supported the city’s effort to re-jig bylaws that govern pet stores.
The idea of trying to ban puppy-mill dogs from pet stores and promote adoption of unwanted pets came up during those discussions in May, Tay-lor said, and all parties agreed it wasn’t a good fi t for Ottawa.
But on Sept. 22, Roney sent a letter to city council – and the media – asking Ottawa to fol-low Toronto’s lead.
PROGRESSIVE
“Ottawa council has shown itself to be considerably more progressive and forward-think-ing than Toronto’s. Please dem-onstrate this by acting now for the animals and by a bylaw in
Ottawa,” Roney wrote.“So I’m a little shocked (the
humane society) took that tact,” Taylor said.
“Rather than coming to us as a partner with a concern, they just launched it out there onto the Internet.”
Roney was not available for an interview last week, but Taylor said he spoke to Roney after the letter was sent and the humane society’s reason-ing was that there was now a precedent for such a bylaw in Ontario.
When it was considered in Ottawa in May, no other city had a similar bylaw.
Of the 13 licensed pet stores in Ottawa, eight sell cats and dogs and only four sell private-ly bred animals. The other four already source their animals from shelters, Taylor said, so passing a bylaw like Toronto’s wouldn’t make much of an im-pact in Ottawa.
“I don’t think it’s going to
do anything to tackle the prob-lem,” he said, adding that most puppy-mill dogs are sold online – something the city can’t regu-late.
Although Taylor counts him-
self a protector of animals, he said efforts would be bet-ter spent lobbying the federal government to strengthen the criminal code to place harsher punishments on offenders who mistreat animals.
But other councillors were
open to the idea of exploring a bylaw like Toronto’s.
Orleans Coun. Bob Monette said the community and pro-tective services committee and council should be having a dis-cussion about the issue.
“Four stores is probably four too many,” said Monette, who supports the sale of shelter an-imals or pets produced through registered breeders.
“I would be open to having that discussion and looking at other options,” Monette said.
But he said he won’t be the one to push the agenda at coun-cil (Monette doesn’t sit on the community and protective ser-vices committee).
“There will probably be an inquiry to staff, and there are other councillors who are in-terested in this,” he said.
Kitchissippi Coun. Kather-ine Hobbs, who is rumoured to be interested in pushing the agenda on this issue, was un-available for comment.

What happens when a motivated group of volunteers partners with enthusiastic and energetic college students?
The answer is, quite simply the largest community volunteer effort in Algonquin College’s history.
As part of the school’s fi rst Community Day of Action, several hundred students partnered with Year2Give, a community group founded by Christine Taylor to un-dertake improvement projects at fi ve Ot-tawa Community Housing Corporation locations.
The projects ranged from painting in-terior corridors and railings, installing mailboxes and fence boards. Sites select-ed for the projects included 212 Bronson Ave., Bellevue Manor on Caldwell Av-enue, Hampton Court on Kirkwood Ave-nue, Karsh Court on Wallack Private and Strathcona Heights on Chapel Crescent.
Thanks to Twitter, Jeremy McQuigge discovered Year2Give. After some re-search, the Algonquin College student transition co-ordinator decided the ini-tiative would be a perfect partnership for the college to launch their 2011 United Way campaign.
“We heard about what Christine was doing,” he said. “We found out that she was working with Ottawa community housing. We tied a ribbon around it and said ‘Let’s bring out some students.’”
In 2010 Algonquin students surpassed
their United Way fundraising goal of $5,000. The money was earmarked for Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa.
This year’s United Way chair praised the students for their commitment
“You’re about to go out into the com-munity and show that young people can contribute to their community,” said Max Keeping. “Today you are going to go out and change some people’s lives. You’re going to make our city even better. I hope today that you know you will make the world a little better.”
Keeping said while Ottawa has the highest per capita income in Canada, one in fi ve people in the city live in poverty.
“You’re going in to better their neigh-bourhoods,” he said.
Community housing CEO Jo-Anne Po-irier was thrilled by the support.
“You know what’s fun is that we’re not having to twist any arms,” she said. “Christine has these incredible vol-unteers. We’ve worked with them now on several projects. They’re amazing. They’re so enthusiastic and positive. Hav-ing them mentor the students too is huge
The overwhelming community re-sponse to Year2Give has Taylor thinking in the longer term.
“We’re hoping to engage as many people as we can,” she said. “If (Ottawa community housing) is a willing partner, which I think they are as well as Algon-quin College, absolutely I think we can make this an annual event.”

GEOFF DAVIES AND LAURA MUELLER
When 17-year-old William Ross realized he couldn’t hold back from harming himself, he ran downstairs and asked
his mother to drive him to CHEO.Jesse Graham told six people he was
thinking about killing himself, says Shelly, Jesse’s mother, but he never spoke to a professional about his demons. The people Jesse told kept it to themselves.
Today, William is recovering. Jesse took his own life last summer.
It’s a cruel twist of fate that the stories of these two young men, who faced such similar inner struggles, ended so differ-ently.
As is the case for many teens strug-gling with mental health challenges, it often comes down to knowing how to access the resources they need.
William, who went through counsel-ling when he was 12, knew. Jesse didn’t.
That’s why the first point of contact for most suicidal teens is the hospital emer-gency room, or a visit from the police, says Dr. Kim Sogge, chief of psychology professional practice at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group.
“It’s a real dilemma for families,” she says.
Sogge says mental health professionals and agencies in Ontario and Ottawa need to do a better job of educating families and making them aware of the resources available to them.
Ben Leikin of Ottawa Public Health couldn’t agree more.
He is one of the partners involved with the Community Suicide Prevention Network.
The network arose as a result of the growing awareness of suicide that fol-lowed the high-profile suicide of 14-year-old Ottawa resident Daron Richardson last fall. The aim is to co-ordinate re-sources by bringing together the execu-tive directors and decision makers from a range of service providers.
After several months of meetings and consultations, the network decided the most pressing issue facing the mental health field in Ottawa is ensuring people are aware of the resources available and how to access them.
Leikin pointed out there are a lot of big issues that need to be addressed, like decreasing the stigma that still sur-rounds these issues, and creating a media awareness campaign to get the message out. But “bigger than those things, or a
big important piece of that, is still how to navigate the system,” Leikin says. “So that’s going to be what we tackle.”
The network will be creating “naviga-tion maps” to guide both youth and par-ents through the mental-health system.
“It will go into a bit more detail of how to navigate yourself through the system. It will … provide information about how one could work through it to get the ap-propriate services,” Leikin says.
Sogge says although awareness about
mental health is improving, funding isn’t following suit.
But Ottawa Public Health is trying to do its part. The city added $300,000 into its budget starting in 2011 aimed at add-ing suicide-prevention programming for parents and to provide funding to allow the Youth Services Bureau’s downtown crisis drop-in centre to be open for an extra day each week (that announcement is coming next month).
It’s a big step that marks Ottawa Public Health’s entry into the mental health field, Leikin says.
“We’re new to this in the sense that we’ve just started to make these strong connections in the mental-health area,” he says. “Whereas before Ottawa Public Health was an expert and a leader on various health topics, now mental health is becoming one of them, which is really exciting for us.”
The focus for the programs, which could start as soon as January, will be on youth in grades 7 and 8 – the “transition years,” says Nicole Frappier, who is also with Ottawa Public Health.
But Ottawa Public Health wants to make suicide part of the dialog with par-ents starting right at pre-natal classes, Frappier says.
It’s an especially pressing issue in Ottawa, where eight per cent of youth have seriously considered trying to kill themselves. That is a significantly higher rate than the rest of Ontario, a city report notes.
It’s the type of programming that officials hope will make a difference to families like the Grahams.
Now with several courses under her belt, Shelly Graham is learning more about suicide so she does know what to do.
Education is key for everyone, includ-ing parents, she says. One day, when she’s ready, she hopes to share her knowl-edge in classrooms.
What’s most important, she has learned, is to reach out to people suffer-ing. Though it may be uncomfortable, making the effort to break through could save a person, and spare the web of people who love them.
“There’s a real shame that comes with suicide. We will not be ashamed,” says Shelly. “Jesse was an awesome guy and we are going to talk about him. He was loved. Shame is what immobilizes you and it’s what keeps people suffering in silence. “And there’s been enough suffer-ing in silence.”

Finding a way through the mental health system

The biggest item on the wish list of Ted Charette, co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake
Services, is Canada adopting a national suicide prevention strategy.
Canada is the only G-8 country without a national suicide prevention strategy.
The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention is working on preparing a national suicide prevention strategy.
“I think it’s starting to gain some weight and some support around the families,” says Charette.
“We’ve had a blueprint for many, many years,” says Rene Ouimet, a director of the Canadian Mental Health Association and a member of the Canadian Associa-tion of Suicide Prevention.
Canada needs a body to co-ordinate suicide prevention programs across the country, said Ouiment.
“We keep lobbying,” she said.The Canadian Association of Suicide
Prevention released a suicide prevention strategy in 2004.
The objectives of the strategy include:Promote awareness across the country that suicide and suicidal behaviour is everyone’s problem and is preventable.Increase the number of employ-ers and volunteer groups that have suicide prevention, intervention and post-intervention programs.Promote understanding that “break-ing the silence surrounding suicide increases realistic opportunities to save lives and to reduce suffering.Launch an anti-stigma campaign.Reduce the availability and lethal-

ity of suicide methods (such as guns).Increase training for recognition of risk factors, warning signs and at-risk behaviours.Develop a national crisis-line net-work.Increase services and support to those bereaved by suicide or who have attempted suicide.Increase funding for suicide preven-tion programs.
“The only way we’re going to prevent suicide is to talk about it openly and directly,” said Ouimet.

Canada needs a national suicide prevention strategy
Part 3: Mental health professionals and agencies work together for better community awareness
OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide
WorkshopsThe Canadian Mental Health
Association offers a series of suicide prevention training workshops in Ottawa:
SafeTALK: a three-hour course for people over the age of 15 to help identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. The cost is $40 to $60 to take the course.Applied Suicide Interven-tion Skills Training (ASIST): a two-day program offered 20 times a year in Ottawa that teaches suicide first-aid skills to anyone who may come into contact with a person at risk, using the most widely-used suicide intervention model in the world. The cost is $180 to take the course. More than 1,000 people take the course every year.
For more information call 613-737-7791.
Ottawa school boards have their own ASIST trainers.
Connecting with resources
A new website, www.emen-talhealth.ca, is making it easier for people to connect with the mental-health services that are appropriate for them.
In addition to having a direc-tory, it is like a Google search for mental health services, said Ben Leikin, mental health project of-ficer for Ottawa Public Health.
“So if you want to search something like ‘psychologist for a 14-year-old,’ it will bring up private practise psychologists as well as some programs that ex-ists for free. It indicates right on it is there is a fee, if it’s bilingual and where it’s located,” Leikin said.
The search also brings up news articles and useful links.

LAURA MUELLER
A new program for parents of infants could be one of the Ottawa public health services that could boost the city’s rev-enue from user fees.
Dr. Isra Levy, the chief medical offi cer of health, said the agency is “exquisitely sensitive” to the effects of adding users fees for public-health services.
Still, Ottawa public health (OPH) needs to be looking at new revenue streams if it wants to do more with its programming, Levy said.
Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the OPH board, said that the proposed New Baby Express program is one such opportunity for user fees.
“I think on a lot of these programs it’s safe to assume that people can pay $30,” Harder said.
The program will be a partnership with the Ottawa Public Library and would serve to connect new parents with nurses and educational resources for parents who are new to caring for an infant.
Even a minimal user fee of $5 as a place-holder for some programs could help fi ll up the coffers, Levy said. But only certain programs, such as food-handler training, would be eligible for fees, Levy said, add-ing that the OPH would never make it
cost prohibitive for residents to access preventative health services.
Increasing or adding user fees could be one way to reduce OPH’s dependency on grants, Levy said. The possibility of sponsorship opportunities was also men-tioned.
“We’re just scratching the surface on everything we do,” said Coun. Diane Holmes, chair of the OPH board. The Somerset ward councillor said OPH isn’t reaching a large enough population with its services, whether it is vaccinations, smoking cessation programs or programs to encourage prenatal health.
“If we really want to be preventing these costly diseases by using preven-tion techniques, we need to be spending more,” she said.
OPH’s draft budget for 2012 includes an extra $492,000 in spending. That increase would be offset by savings from Service Ottawa, an effort to streamline city ser-vices using technology.
In addition to the New Baby Express program, which would cost $145,000 in 2012, OPH would like to spend $200,000 on outbreak management and increased public health inspections and $147,000 on supports for seniors and caregivers.
Residents can make presentations to the OPH board at its special budget meet-ing on Oct. 17.

Election
Candidates respond to health concernsKRISTY WALLACE
Natalie Mehra wants to see health care front and centre in this year’s pro-vincial election campaign.
From hospital bed shortages to home care, Mehra said her group, the Ontar-io Health Coalition, wants to see candi-dates addressing issues that are affect-ing Ontarians.
“Access to health care is suffering,” said Mehra, the coalition’s director. “There are severe access issues, per-haps the strongest evidence of the prob-lem is the level of hospital occupancy and overcrowding.”
Mehra said political parties need to address key health concerns like access to acute care hospital beds and longer-term care for seniors both in hospitals and in the community.
“It’s poor and inequitable,” Mehra said, adding that 18,500 hospital beds have been cut since 1990.
As a result, she pointed out Ontario residents are traveling long distances for their surgeries and wait lists for long-term care beds have “never been higher.”
“In some areas, home care isn’t pro-vided at all anymore,” Mehra said. “Patients are required to travel long distances.”
Yasir Naqvi, the Liberal candidate for Ottawa Centre, said his party has built 18 new hospitals across the province that has helped alleviate wait times.
In Ottawa, his party has taken on initiatives like doubling the size of Montfort Hospital, added new wings at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and expanded to Ottawa Heart Institute.
“All of these are really signifi cant investments in our health care, just in the City of Ottawa alone,” Naqvi said. “Not to mention, we have hired almost 3,000 new doctors, 11,500 more nurses and now 94 per cent of Ontarians have a family doctor.”
Anil Naidoo, the New Democratic Party candidate for Ottawa Centre, said that his party agrees with the health co-alition that there needs to be more im-provement with beds and wait times.
“We have a plan, and we want to put people fi rst,” Naidoo said. “We need to invest more in a health care system that alleviates some of the wait times in a thoughtful and practical way.”
Naidoo added that the NDP has com-mitted to investing more in home care and long-term care, which would also help alleviate wait times for long-term care beds.
Randall Denley, the Progressive Con-servative candidate for Ottawa West-Nepean, said the issue of long-term care is a particularly signifi cant issue for his party.
In particular, he said his party wants to do better for Ontario seniors.
“We’re keeping them in the hospital, and it costs about $1,000 a day,” Denley said, adding that better at-home care could also help increase the amount of available hospital beds.
Dave Bagler, the Green Party candi-date for Ottawa-Vanier, said his party identifi es key health priorities for
Ontario, including investing in home care.
“It’s a sad state when we have to bring a senior into a hospital to check if they have the fl u because we can’t send someone to them,” Bagler said. “If we can make those investments in home care, not only are we having money, but we’re also protecting seniors and ad-dressing hospital bed concerns.”
The Green Party wants to focus on health promotion, he added, and put-ting money into preventative measures for diabetes and obesity.
HEALTH PROMOTION
“The earlier you solve a problem, the cheaper is it,” Bagler said.
Mehra also wants to see the political parties address the question of wheth-er they will address privatization and protect public, non-profi t health care.
“For-profi ts have reduced working conditions for workers,” she said. “The impact is there’s very, very high turn-over.”
Naidoo said he worked as a health care campaigner, and his party will continue to be an advocate for univer-sal public health care.
“The NDP is at the centre of the pub-lic universal health care system,” he said. “So of course, we’re going to be standing against privatization.”
Naqvi said the Liberals are “very much committed” to a publicly-funded, universally-accepted health care sys-tem.
He said the Liberals have already passed legislation to ensure that the health system remains not-for-profi t.
“We’ve taken concrete measures in law and in practice to strengthen the foundation of a publically-funded health care system,” Naqvi said.
Denley said that it’s “pretty clear” Ontarians already have a mix of pri-vate and public providers.
“If you get an X-ray, it’s a private pro-vider,” he said. “But you pay for it with your OHIP card.”
Bagler said there will always be an element of private delivery like doctors who own their own clinics, and that it should be up to communities in Ontar-io to decide what is best for them.
“I’m in Ottawa-Vanier, and we’re a diverse riding. Lowertown isn’t like Rockcliffe. They don’t have the same needs,” he said. “What I’d like to see is let the communities have more of a say of what their health services are lo-cally..”
Mehra said she would also like to know what concrete steps each party is taking to improve democratic gover-nance and public accountability.
“We need democratic reform, re-es-tablish democratic governance and public accountability,” she said. “We have pushed very hard on those issues, including
improving democratic accountabil-ity and including a provincial ombuds-man oversight.”
Naidoo said Ontario needs communi-ty-based governance, and Local Health Integration Networks have been a “big disappointment.”
“We feel this government is creating another barrier between communities and Queen’s Park,” Naidoo said.
Denley also said getting rid of LHINs would help re-establish democratic gov-ernance and public accountability.
He referred to the LHIN as a “pretend level of accountability” and doesn’t al-low for communities to have any con-trol or say over what the network does.
“There’s no democratic control, and health care is a provincial government responsibility,” Denley said.
However, Naqvi said he’s concerned when he hears parties talking about scrapping the idea of LHINs.
He said the network is the “most im-portant” innovation that the Liberal Party has come up with.
“In the past, we had a system where bureaucrats in Toronto deliver and develop practices in health care in Ottawa,” Naqvi said. “(The NDP and Progressive Conservatives) want to centralize health care, and bring deci-sion-making back in the hands of few. That won’t be transparent.”
He added that medical experts have said that the LHIN gives them better tools to provide more effective locally-integrated health care to the commu-nity.
“I think that has made our health care system more accountable and transparent, and any steps backwards will reverse that process.”
Bagler said the main Green Party theme is letting Ontarians focus on their own community.
“We want to allow communities to have a stronger say local decision-mak-ing and health services,” he said.
Ontario Health Coalition held a rally in Toronto on Sept. 13, asking political party leaders to talk about protecting single-tier health care and reforming it so it suits the public interest.

For parents of school-age children and students at Ontar-io’s colleges and universities, provincial spending on educa-tion will always be a key issue.
And that focus is ramped
up come election time. Which party will cut, which will spend more, expand services or cut fees?
Current students and their parents may look at the short-term implications of the par-ties’ policies, but all Ontario residents should take a close look at proposals for our schools.
Beyond the tax bill to educate future generations, the quality of that education has ramifi ca-tions that can only be measured in decades, not the four-year term of a governing party.

Election
From kindergarten to universityOntario’s political
parties try to out-school
each other
hospitals may deliver improvements we can see in a year, education spending provides its payoff over the long term.
In the past few years we’ve seen the McGuinty government roll out full-day kindergarten in On-tario schools, the fi rst such program in North America. Today there are more than 50,000 chil-dren at school for the full day instead of the former half-day. By September 2014, full-day kindergarten will be available in all provincially-funded elemen-tary schools in the province.
The Progressive Conservatives didn’t support the full-day legislation, but have accepted that the process can’t be scrapped now that it’s underway and parents are counting on it.
Nepean-Carleton PC MPP Lisa MacLeod said the full-day system “can be improved upon.”
“We need to make sure all of the kinks are worked out,” MacLeod said.
The New Democrats support full-day kindergar-ten, but have expressed concerns about the lengthy implementation period.
Ottawa South NDP candidate Wali Farah, who has a masters in education from the University of Ottawa, said the full-day plan caused problems as it was rolled out.
“The classes are overfl owing with kids; more than was expected,” Farah said.
He said the effects have also been felt in daycare centres, which lost many of their older children to kindergarten.
He said an NDP government would invest $250 million over the next two years to stabilize the day care system so fees don’t increase beyond parents’ ability to pay.
Liberal MPP Bob Chiarelli is seeking re-elec-tion in Ottawa West-Nepean. He said the PCs were “dead set against full-day kindergarten” when the Liberals brought forth legislation to establish the program.
“Education is the single most important invest-ment we can make,” Chiarelli said. “There have been a few bumps in the road (establishing full-day kindergarten), but the basic program rolled out very well, and parents like it.”
FROM JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 12
During the election campaign, PC leader Tim Hudak has listed education and health care spend-ing as two budget items a Tory government would not cut. MacLeod said
The Tories have pledged to increase spending on junior kindergarten to Grade 12 education by $2 billion before the end of a fi rst term if they form a government after the Oct. 6 election.
She said rooting out waste and unnecessary bu-reaucracy will result in savings in the education system.
The Liberals have increased spending on edu-cation since coming to power. They point to the previous Harris-Eves PC government as the route Ontarians want to avoid. When the Progressive Conservatives held a majority at Queen’s Park from 1995 to 2003, there were spending cuts that forced school boards to close schools.
Chiarelli said funding for Ottawa’s schools is up by more than 50 per cent since the Liberals came to power, and that the party is committed to investing as needs increase.
Over the last eight years, many class sizes have been reduced, with 97 per cent of primary classes holding 23 kids or less. There have been costs both in increased workforce and the need for more class-rooms.
New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath has suggested Ontario’s schools are becoming “two-tier” because of funding disparities.

She says the need to fundraise for im-portant educational events means some students get fewer or poorer learning op-portunities. Under an NDP government, each school would receive a $4,000 annual grant for clubs, sports teams and special events, and extra fees would be banned.
Farah said the current funding formu-la for schools looks strictly at the number of students in a school.
“They don’t look at the unique needs of each school,” he said, adding that funding gaps may add up to split grades. “People have told me they are fed up with split classes.”
POST-SECONDARY
Tuition fees at Ontario’s universities and colleges may be the most tangible ed-ucation issue in this election, in part be-cause the costs are out-of-pocket, instead of being part of a provincial budget line.
The Liberal government froze tuition during its fi rst two years in power. Stu-dent assistance has been increased, including an annual $150 grant for text-books per student.
The Liberals also created a grant sys-tem for lower-income families and now
promise to expand the system so more students can receive post-secondary un-dergraduate tuition grants of 30 per cent. Unlike student loans, the grant money does not have to be repaid.
“Tuition is capped today,” said Chiarel-li, adding that 86 per cent of students will qualify for the 30 per cent grants.
During the McGuinty years, the party says 200,000 new post-secondary spaces have been created, and the party’s plat-form says another 60,000 will be added.
Horwath has promised to freeze tuition for four years and to remove the provin-cial interest students pay on education loans.
Hudak matches the Liberal pledge to create up to 60,000 post-secondary spaces in the coming years, and suggests colleg-es and universities could compete for the new spaces.
The Tories would also increase the stu-dent loan limits so more children can at-tend college or university.
MacLeod said the PCs would provide fi -nancial assistance to more students, but added that a tuition freeze may not be a fi scally responsible move.
“Tuition is something we can discuss after the election,” she said. “We’re talk-ing now about more spaces and better ac-cess.”
Tuition fees highlight differences in party platforms

Put 20 team members, a four-inch wide rope and 56 metric tonnes of Air Canada jet together and you have the 2011 Plane Pull Challenge. This year, the RCMP beat out the Ottawa police in this muscle over brain competition held at the Ottawa Airport on Sept. 24.
The Ottawa Airport Authority had a team of their own in the Plane Pull Challenge. They gave it their best shot but were beat out by a strong RCMP team.

Short-haul trip
Parkwood Hills school could reopen temporarily
JENNIFER MCINTOSH
A public school board plan to to ease overcrowding in a pair of Barrhaven schools met with ire from area parents at a public meeting held at Adrienne Clark-son Elementary School on Sept. 27.
The students would be temporarily housed in the site of the former Park-wood Hills public school on Tiverton Drive in Nepean. Parkwood Hills was closed by the board last year as a cost-cut-ting measure.
Ottawa-Carleton District School Board staff presented the accommodation re-view plan, which would alleviate pres-sure until a new school in Chapman Mills opens in January 2013.
The plan, the product of a working group comprised of parents, staff and area trustees, was developed over a year.
Parts of the plan include changing the boundaries of Farley Mowat so that students residing in the Chapman Mills west area and entering grades from ju-nior kindergarten in the academic year of 2012-2013 would attend a satellite loca-tion for the new Chapman Mills school.
Students from Barrhaven Public School residing in the eastern Stonebridge and Heart’s Desire neighbourhoods would also attend the new school.
“We know it’s not ideal to bus kids out of their community,” said Karen Carty Ostafi chuk, manager of planning with the school board.
Farley Mowat and Barrhaven Public schools currently have 17 and 19 por-tables respectively and are looking at an even bigger space crunch as they have to accommodate the provincially-mandat-ed full-day kindergarten in the coming years.
The initial changes in boundaries would see 340 students redirected from Farley Mowat and 150 students from Bar-rhaven Public.
Before the Monday-night meeting local trustee Donna Blackburn said the two Barrhaven schools are bursting at the seams.
“We need the school in Chapman Mills, we need one in Half Moon Bay,” Black-burn said.
Under the plan, Barrhaven Public would become a junior kindergarten to Grade 3 school, and students entering Grade 4 in the 2012 academic year going to Cedarview Middle School – which would become a grade four to eight school.
New junior kindergarten to Grade 5 students in the Half Moon Bay boundary area would be redirected to Jockvale El-ementary School starting Sept 2012 and students in the Barrhaven Mews bound-ary would be redirected to Mary Honey-well Elementary School.
One frustrated father whose children would be split under the proposed plan – the eldest would continue at Farley Mowat and the younger two would be re-directed to the new school – asked staff to consider allowing siblings to stay to-gether.
“We can look at the numbers. Farley Mowat is the school with the most pres-sure,” Carty Ostafi chuk said.
Another parent addressed the issue of preferred busing for daycare.
“It’s my understanding that the chil-dren would get preferred busing while going to the school in Nepean, but that would stop once the new school opened,” she said. “For child care we need to either keep the busing all year or be told far in advance what the new route would be so we could get our children on the long waiting lists for childcare.”
Carty Ostafi chuk said that would be considered.
Michael Pirie, a member of the work-ing group and father of twin girls at Far-ley Mowat said that while the plan won’t please everyone, it was the best possible option.
“I went in the mindset that something had to be done,” he said, adding that the situation at Farley Mowat with 17 por-tables and split lunches is unsustainable. “But I started to hear parents concerns about transportation and daycare and it’s tough. But it’s a good plan.”
The school board will take comments on the proposed changes by email at [email protected] or by fax at 613-820-6968 until Oct. 24. Recom-mendations by staff will be presented to the board on Nov. 14 and the decision will be made on Dec. 5.
