The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Cor-poration has installed facial recognition technology at the Rideau Carleton Race-ways slots centre in Ottawa South to help self-proclaimed problem gamblers resist the temptation of Ottawas only gambling centre.
The new system has been fully operation-al in Ottawa since the fi rst week of July. Twenty-four hours a day, it matches the fac-es of slot machine patrons with photos in Ontarios long-standing self-exclusion list of identifi ed problem gamblers, who have
asked the province to forcibly stop them from gambling.
The same technology has been installed at 19 of 27 OLG sites across the province, with the remaining eight sites to come on-line by the end of the year.
OLG spokesperson Tony Bitonti said the new technology from Oakville, Ontario company iView is an important upgrade on the old identifi cation system, which relied mostly on security guards being familiar with local gamblers.
The old way was they enrolled and their photo was taken and put in a book or a com-puter, and the security guards were fairly familiar with those who had self-excluded
on that site, he said. The benefi t of the new system is access to the province-wide data-base, which would stop a Rideau Carleton regular even if he or she travelled to Wood-bines slots in Toronto. Wed take the pho-tos at Rideau and wed send it to Windsor and Toronto and everywhere, but security there wouldnt know them that intimately just by looking at them. So now it is all con-nected all over the province.
There are about 15,000 people on the list at any given time, Bitonti said. In Ottawa, there are about 120 problem gamblers who identify Rideau Carleton Raceway as their main gambling venue.

Ottawa Police Service launched a new initiative to help prevent the number of thefts from cars in Ottawa.
Ottawa Police held a demon-stration in the Byward Mar-ket on July 26 for the program, called All Valuables Removed. Police say the new program, which will enhance the al-ready existing theft prevention program run by police, aims to make people aware of what they are leaving in their cars as well as inform would-be-thieves there is nothing worth stealing.Police said the new program is in response to a recent upswing of thefts from vehicles this sum-mer.
This is a tool to remind you to remove all valuables and if everyone does this it can reduce the number of thefts across the city, Sgt. Denis Hull said.
The key component to the
program is a bright yellow theft prevention card that has both a checklist for drivers as well as in large print the words all valuables removed. The card also includes the Ottawa Police
Services emblem. OPS auxilia-ries and volunteers handed out the cards in the Byward Market area.
Hull demonstrated the im-portance of taking percautions
when leaving a vehicle. You need to make sure that
your GPS is not on the dash, that you do not leave your computer in plain site in the backseat, re-move them and then leave the
card on your dash, Hull said. Hull noted that thefts have
been going up this year. In June 2010 there were 41 thefts in the downtown core, which includes the Byward Market. This year the number has doubled to 80.
A total of 5,929 thefts across the city were reported in 2010.
It can happen day or night, it does not matter, Hull said.
The tourists and shoppers who were handed the yellow cards gladly took them, saying they felt this would be a great deterrent.
Tourists Bill and Sue Vander-lans from Toronto said they plan to use the card when they go home and they hope the idea will catch on in their city.
This is a great idea that will make people aware of what they are leaving in their own cars, Bill Vanderlans said. If noth-ing else, it helps you remember to hide your valuables.
Individual Community Police Centres will be starting their own All Valuables Removed awareness campaign in the coming weeks. Cards will be available at all police stations. Residents can also request a theft prevention card by email-ing [email protected]

The Ottawa Carleton District School Board will march in its fi rst Ottawas Capital Pride parade on Aug. 28 in an ef-fort to show students, staff and the rest of Ottawa that the board is an open and inclusive institution.
Participating in pride is a very public statement about our openness and how we want students and staff to feel, ex-plained Barrhaven-Knoxdale-Merivale trustee Donna Blackburn, who is openly gay and spearheaded the boards inaugu-ral involvement in Pride Week. The mes-sage I want to be very clear to all members of the boards family, from students to the director of education to our support staff, is that everyone can participate.
Indeed, Blackburn is hoping many staff, students and parents will join the public boards yellow school bus to show support for the boards gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered population. The parade will travel down Wellington Street towards city hall, fi nishing at Fes-tival Plaza.
The boards bus will feature banners on either side proclaiming something to the effect of being open, Blackburn said, noting the messaging hasnt been fi nalized. The boards associate director Walter Piovesan will drive the bus, and several trustees will carry another ban-ner out front.
The group will toss frisbees and biode-gradable pens into the crowd as well.
Although this is OCDSBs fi rst time offi cially participating in Capital Pride, Blackburn said she doesnt think it was because the board felt it was a bad idea. Rather, it was perhaps just a case of no-
body suggesting it until Blackburn was elected in October 2010.
Ive had no push back. I approached the director of education at the time, Bar-rie Hammond, and our (board of trust-ees) chair Jennifer McKenzie and they were like, Yeah of course. They didnt hesitate, Blackburn said. She said she has not received any negative comments from parents, either.
Capital Pride chairperson Doug Saun-ders-Riggins said hes thrilled to have the public school board march in the parade, because of its positive impact on stu-dents.
I think it goes to show that the board is more supportive of the students life-styles and being open to who they are on school grounds. It shows the school is more accepting and more willing to show their support to those students, he said. Participating will also demonstrate sup-port for staff and parents in the GLBT community, he added. There are prob-ably a lot of staff, not only teachers but support staff as well, who are part of the GLBTTQ community and this shows their employer is supportive of who they are as well.
The public board already encourages gay-straight alliances, or GSAs, in schools to provide a safe space to talk about sex-uality issues and to fi ght homophobia. It has also conducted an extensive and controversial student survey covering ev-erything from parental income to student sexual orientation, in an effort to better know the boards student body and gear its resources toward appropriate pro-grams.
It also organizes an annual Rainbow Youth Forum each fall to discuss GLBT student issues.

Complaints against Ottawa police offi cers fell to a fi ve-year low in the fi rst half of 2011, fol-lowing a couple highly publi-cized cases of alleged cellblock abuse.
From January until the end of June, complaints dropped 24.2 per cent compared to the same period last year. The po-lice service received 194 com-plaints during that period down from 256 in the fi rst half of 2010.
That includes a drop in ex-
cessive force complaints that brings them in line with the fi ve-year average and a signifi -cant reduction in complaints of improper conduct, which ac-counts for most of the 24.2 per cent tumble.
A sharp reduction in improp-er conduct complaints from 195 in 2010 to 133 in 2011 accounts for most of the change.
Nineteen excessive force complaints were fi led in the fi rst half of 2011, which is in line with the fi ve-year average of 17.2, but slightly down from last years 23 complaints in the fi rst two quarters.
John Jensen, a member of the Ottawa Police Services Board, said the police should be com-mended for the decrease.
I think a lot of the work that has been done over the past year its very positive, he said.
Most of those complaints 115 so far this year did not result in any discipline, while only three have led to disciplin-ary action so far in 2011. By this time last year, 141 complaints did not result in any action, while disciplinary action was taken in four cases.
Some of the complaints fi led
24 so far this year werent counted because they were deemed to be vexatious or frivolous by the Offi ce of the Independent Police Review Board. That is 13 fewer than during the same period in 2010, but slightly higher than the fi ve-year average of 18.8.
Deputy Chief Gilles Laro-chelle said the decline can be attributed to holding supervi-sors accountable for the actions of their offi cers.
This is usually very suc-cessful, and its immediate, he said.
Larochelle pointed out that
some of the allegations of cell-block abuse that have been making headlines this year (most notably, the Stacy Bonds case) are actually connected to incidents in 2009 before these most recent statistics were compiled.

Police complaints down this year

An elderly woman is dead and anoth-er woman is in hospital after a car and dump truck collided at Bank Street and Rideau Road.
The collision took place on the morn-ing of July 27.
At around 10:30 a.m., an elderly woman and her 86-year-old passenger were northbound on Bank Street, mak-ing a left-hand turn on to Rideau Road,
when a south-bound dump truck clipped their car and sent both vehicles into the ditch.
The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries, said police spokesperson Const. Henri Lanctot.
A police offi cer at the scene said the woman pulled out into oncoming traffi c to see better, and was hit by the truck go-ing straight through.
The truck driver was not injured.

Waving posters featuring dead mice and mould found in their apartments, Heron Gate-area residents shouted slogans like dont move, make your landlord improve as they marched down Baycrest Drive to protest what they say is land-lord negligence.
My cat brought me a mouse from the basement yesterday. Weve got bugs. We can only do so much. We dont want to live like that. We pay a lot, said Heron Gate-area resident Jen-nifer Macwaters, who lives in a
three-bedroom apartment with her husband and two young children. We want things fi xed. Our parks are disgusting, (the landlords) dont take care of the property and theres gar-bage everywhere.
Macwaters was one of rough-ly 50 people, including mothers and their children, who showed up for a rally hosted by Ottawa ACORN Heron Gate Tenants
Ottawa ACORN is a branch of ACORN Canada, an inde-pendent national organization of low and moderate income families.
Macwaters described a series of maintenance issues that have
happened in her unit since she moved in during February 2010. She said when her fridge broke on a Friday, nobody showed up to attend to the situation until Monday. Macwaters said with two small children in the house, the family needed a fridge.
We got our own fridge be-cause my in-laws had one, Macwaters said. They left our old fridge at the front of our door for three weeks.
TransGlobe Property Man-agement Services, which owns the residences, took over direct control of the properties in June.
Danny Roth, a spokesperson for TransGlobe, stood across the street from the rally and watched it unfold.
We were certainly surprised when notices went out in the building that a small protest was planned, Roth said. We reached out to them last week, and nobody responded. They seem more interested in the protest than in progress.
He said that a dialogue be-tween the managers and the tenants would have been a more effective way of making change.
Roth also said that the build-ings are well-run and well-maintained, but that for indi-vidual issues like Macwaters and her fridge, there are dif-ferent levels of detail and back story specifi c to units.
The ultimate responsibil-ity is ours as property manag-ers, but tenants have a role in keeping it clean and secure, he said. On a larger scale, we need to work co-operatively.
Roth said he went to the rally to make sure there was still a
safe environment for tenants not participating.
Im happy to meet with a small group and get a handle on the issues, he said. If the or-ganizer wants to sit down with management, wed be happy to talk.
Jane Schweitzer, a member if the Ontario Landlords As-sociation, said tenants have the responsibility to also keep their units clean and to be good tenants.
She said bad tenants can of-
ten leave garbage around, which explains mice and other pest problems.
However Schweitzer said as a landlord, she takes preven-tative measures to make sure there are no pest problems for her tenants. She also said that her buildings have had pest problems in the past, and shell get an exterminator.
She also believes that the way the rules are written now give too much power to the tenant which makes it hard for land-lords to evict the bad tenants.
Schweitzer added that if an appliance supplied in an apart-ment like a fridge breaks, it is up to the landlord to get it fi xed immediately.
Thats a necessity, and absolutely that should be re-placed or fi xed immediately, Schweitzer said. They have to get in one right away. Lets say (the landlord) has ordered one they still have to replace it.
Even though Schweitzer said landlords should be given more rights to protect against bad tenants, its important for both sides to work together too.
When you own a property, you want to be on top of it, she said. When you have a building worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, it doesnt make sense to let it go.
She added that its important for tenants to keep written doc-umentation of requests to their landlords, and important for landlords to take before and af-ter pictures of their units when a tenant moves in and out.

For tourists left thinking What do we do now? after visiting Parliament Hill, the Capital Infocentre across the street was a welcome sight for more than 30 years.
The visitor information centre has been providing tourists with infor-mation on the Capital since 1980, but come fall, the Wellington Street main-stay will be no more.
Instead, it will be scaled back into a kiosk in the nearby albeit less vis-ible World Exchange Plaza mall.
In its place, ambassadors armed with tablet computers will fan out along Confederation Boulevard, the main tourist drag of Wellington
Street.Its part of a new strategy to keep up
with the times.The trend is that people are get-
ting their information online, before they travel, said Charles Cardinal, a spokesperson for the National Capital Commission, which runs the info cen-tre.
In fact, 73 per cent of leisure travel-lers and 83 per cent of business travel-lers used the Internet to look up infor-mation before they departed for their destinations, according to a survey the Hotel Association of Canada con-ducted in 2010.
The NCC has waded into the waters of digital tourist services in the past few years, including mobile phone ap-plications for Winterlude and Canada
Day and downloadable interpretation programs.
The next step is an overhaul of the NCCs website canadascapital.gc.ca and the addition of a mobile version of the site, so tourists can use it on the go. The site will also integrate social networking such as Facebook and Twitter, Cardinal said.
The NCC will also be placing QR codes a type of barcode that can be scanned by mobile phones, linking them to a web page at popular loca-tions to link visitors to more informa-tion.
The new services will become avail-able in October, when the Capital In-focentre kiosk is set to open near the Shoppers Drug Mart inside the World Exchange Plaza.

The Ottawa Police Services sexual assault/child abuse section is inves-tigating two reports of sexual assault in the Riverside Park and Greenboro areas.
According to police, in both in-cidents an unknown male ap-proached a woman in the middle of the afternoon and pulled her pants down.
The fi rst incident happened July
19 at the Greenboro transit station and the second reported assault took place July 26 near the Riverside bike path.
The suspect is described as an English-speaking male between 16 and 25 years old. Police said he is ap-proximately 511 with a stocky build, pudgy face, medium skin tone, and short dark hair. In both incidents, the suspect wore shorts and a t-shirt.
Anyone with information in re-gards to these incidents should call the sexual assault/child abuse sec-tion at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944.

Despite and because of claims that we make the bulk of our decisions intuitively and within a matter of millisec-onds, I am on a purposeful quest to quash my intuition. It hasnt served me well, its expensive, and it needs to be put in its place.
The thing is Im a notorious joiner. Nothing gets my blood going like signing up for things. Oh, the sweet thrill of the registration process! In the past three years I have forked over hundreds of dollars for the following: French classes (twice); cooking classes; teachers college application fees (three times); ashtanga yoga; swimming lessons; boot camp; gymnastics boot camp; and several trial gym member-ships.
Sadly, I have yet to see the inside of a GoodLife Fitness, I have plateaued at an intermediate level in French since 1999, I am not a qualifi ed teacher, and I still dont know how to cook or swim profi ciently.
My husband, the more refl ective within our spousal unit, always at-tempts to curb my impulsivity. But I am too quick to fork over my non-refundable registration fee, which is
inevitably followed by a promise to myself and my family to be less rash in future.
Ive decided to change my extempo-raneous ways once and for all. Yes, Ive become a list-maker.
For the last six weeks, I have bal-anced the pros and cons of every life-altering decision, including but not limited to, the following: how I spend money; what I eat for breakfast; who I work for; how I pass my vacation time; and how often I shower while camping.
Gruelling though it may be to list the benefi ts and pitfalls of Cheerios each morning, it has triggered a more thoughtful approach to breakfast. By taking a step back and examining the ingredients list on the box, I am more likely to return it to its habitual place
at the back of the cupboard and pull out the oatmeal or protein-packed muesli instead.
The absence of temerity has also given my bank balance a boost. First, Ive come to realize that camp showers are expensive and more often than not unnecessary. Second, instead of suc-cumbing to daily Rogers-On-Demand movie requests and fee-per-use swims at the public pool, Ive discovered many free or cheap day trip vacation alterna-tives for me and the kids.
Finally, Ive foregone debit and credit card purchases, prudently crafting a budget and determining how much cash I will require each week for groceries, toiletries and miscellaneous extras. The pain of handing over cold, hard cash which has been care-fully considered in advance is much more real than the delayed anguish that often comes with perusing a Visa statement.
As a result, Im more cautious with my spending. I delete Groupon ads, and yes, I am that woman who returns things to the cashier at point-of-pur-chase because Ive gone over my self-imposed limit.
For me, impulsivity and intuition are
too closely related to differentiate. The next time someone tells me to listen to my gut, (or my heart or my bowel), when making a decision, Ill try to resist.
In my experience, my gut doesnt tell me much except when Im hungry. In-stead, Im putting it on paper, delaying my response, and being more specula-tive about the rumblings in my various organs. It may take a bit more time at fi rst, but in the long term I know Ill save hundreds of dollars, benefi t my health, and, most importantly, quash my infamous reputation.
Charles Gordon will return Aug. 18.

People who follow the Lansdowne saga know better than to say Its over.But Justice Charles Hacklands ruling in favour of the city last week certainly marked a turning point for the beleaguered redevelopment.
Many issues brought up by community groups over the last couple of years received a thorough legal vetting. And whether you agree or disagree with the ruling, its benefi cial to step back from the issues and listen to the perspective of a neu-tral third party.
There were some missteps, Hackland said. City council could probably have benefi tted from read-ing the Deloitte report, which was never made available to councillors.
But at the end of the day, that (and other minor missteps) wouldnt have changed the outcome, Hackland said. Furthermore, it wasnt done to subvert the public interest, the justice said. The city acted in good faith.
Those rulings will likely hold some weight if Glebe resident John Martin follows through on his threat to launch his own court case.
Hackland already spilled a signifi cant amount
of ink insisting that the city followed its own pro-curement rules when it accepted the sole-sourced bid from the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG).
The auditor general and a consulting law fi rm agreed.
So it is diffi cult to imagine what leg is left for Martin to stand on if he wishes the court to rule that the city broke that law.
And perhaps it is for the better if his case goes nowhere.
For sports fans in the city, it would be diffi cult to believe that OSEGs deals for Canadian Foot-ball League and North American Soccer League teams would still stand if OSEG wasnt the one redeveloping the stadium.
Residents concerns are important and serve to provide a voice of dissent that can result in meaningful improvements to the project.
Their voices have been heard both through this court case, and the Ontario Municipal Board hearing before it.
Changes have been made. It will never be per-fect, but at least we can look forward to grass and sports at Lansdowne once again.

OPINION
Im sure by now you are tired of reading about my cats. Well, I will try to make this the last cat story for a while. Just think of this as a wrap-up to the cat season.
On April 1, our tame calico Penelope gave birth to four kittens. For the next month, her nine sisters and cousins gave birth to their own litters. Not all of them lived. Some were just too little and didnt survive. But by the middle of May, we had about 40 new, healthy kittens on the farm. It was a bumper crop, to be sure.
Now, most farmers will tell you that the feral barn cat is an absolute neces-sity on the farm. They control the rodent population, particularly when grain is being stored in the barn. Most barns have at least two or three cats on site. Larger farms need 6 to a dozen cats to get the job done.
Typically, the cats are fed once in the morning, and thats it for the day. He puts one big bowl down and if they miss chow time, tough for them. Fights occasionally break out, and dominance is asserted. Males reaching adulthood have to prove their superiority, or they are quickly run off the farm by the resident alpha male. Mother cats just keep having kittens, sometimes two lit-ters in a summer season, until they are worn out from childbirth and nursing. Kittens born in the colder months rarely last until springtime. Many get viruses that, left untreated, spread and wipe out the younger farm cat generation. Some
people call this survival of the fi ttest. I call it depressing.
Before I arrived on the farm scene in 2007, my Farmers cat population was managing itself , by the afore-mentioned processes. But when I saw the fi rst kitten stagger past me with infected eyes, I put gloves on and caught the scrappy little thing. I administered Polysporin eye drops and homeopathic respiratory remedies. When that didnt work, I smuggled the cat to the vet. Yes, I know I was going against the typical farm system, but I couldnt bear to see that kitten suffer. Two hundred dollars later, I had antibiotics to cure my kitten. He is now the large orange alpha male in our barn, and the main source of my kitty problems. The Farmer said he told me so. I interfered with nature and look what happened.
So? What to do. Those kittens are now my responsibility. I allowed them to be born. I took care of my 40 new kittens, their eye infections and their stuffy noses. I took one of them to the vet and
shared his medicine with everyone else until they were all better. But 40 kittens, plus the 10 prolifi c mamas and handful of adult males we have on the farm are too many, even for a crazy cat lady.
After the kittens had passed the eight-week stage where they could be weaned, I put an ad out. In the fi rst week, 18 kit-tens were adopted to what I determined to be loving homes.
After another couple of weeks, 10 more kittens were picked up. Now its August and Ive got just seven kittens left. Three are in the taming room in the basement and four still roam the barn, too big and wise now to be lured into my cat carrier. Two adolescent males were shipped off to live on a new farm. I am still trying to catch the domi-nant orange male. The Papa Garfi eld. Big Daddy of them all. Of course, catching and fi nding homes for my surplus cats isnt going to solve my problem. I realize this, so you can stop writing that email to me right now, cat activists. I know I have to get them all fi xed. The problem is the cost, not the ideal, as far as Im concerned. I dont have $2,000 to throw around. Maybe when I sell my Farmwife book I can put part of the profi ts toward the cat situation. But in the meantime, it would be really nice if the municipal-ity, along with some local veterinarians, would pitch in and help solve this prob-lem. Im sure Im not the only farmer in the area with a bumper crop of kittens this year. Or am I?

When Grace Agostinho trav-elled to Haiti in January 2010 to visit an orphanage she raised money to help build, she fi g-ured she had witnessed all the country could handle.
But given that her trip was one week prior to an earth-quake that crippled the coun-try, the owner of Manoticks French Caf knew Haitians were only enduring the begin-ning of a crisis.
I thought it was the worst, said the Greely resident, recall-ing her fi rst trip through tears. All my sales went to Haiti the next day.
The earthquake also tore down Agostinhos orphanage, which was home to 35 children, and just like that the connec-tion she had with Haiti shifted into overdrive.
Agostinho fi rst began devot-ing her charitable efforts to the Caribbean island nation three years ago after reading a news-paper article explaining the plight of orphans and widows.
Im international, she said when asked what intrigued her about helping Haiti. Im Por-tuguese, I own a French caf. Everyone has a story.
Through independent efforts like spaghetti dinners and ga-rage sales, plus a change box and painting sales at her caf, Agostinho has raised over $50,000 with the help of the Ottawa-based Foundation for the Sustainable Development of Haiti.
The money allowed her to re-turn to Haiti on July 12, where she started up her latest effort an agriculture project in Car-acol, located on the northern coast of the country.
My heart goes out to these people because I know them better, she said. I cant leave them. They need help forever.
Agostinho said she chose to base this project in Caracol in-stead of the capital of Port-au-Prince because those in the big-ger city were crammed in like a can of sardines.
Theyre still in despair but less frustrated, she said, while comparing Caracol to Manotick and Port-au-Prince to Ottawa.
Overall, the trip was a suc-cess, she said while showing off about two dozen pictures on the wall of her caf.
She was able to donate $600 worth of goat, vegetables and rice, which a priest prepared for 100 people one night.
While she explained that she
wants to give hope to women and children in the country particularly since those who attend school have very few educational options past Grade 6 its the farming that she has put her greatest emphasis on recently.
Agostinho is now in search of a tractor, which is needed to cultivate the harsh soil. She said that she vows to fi nd a good one and then ship it to Haiti, just like she did with an old am-bulance from Montreal.
But for those willing to donate supplies bicycles and clothing included she cautions that they will only be accepted if in good condition.
If its not good for you, its not good for them, Agostinho said. It needs to be functional.
I want to give them hope and make them sustainable.
Agostinho said shed like to return in November in time for the farming season and bring her children, Vanessa, 20, and Samuel Rodrigue, 14, with her.
While her whole family has been very supportive, she said the experience would be ben-efi cial for her children just like it was for her husband Guy Ro-drigue, who accompanied her in mid-July.
He can talk from his own
heart, she said. He is with me now.
While she cant afford to travel to Haiti as much as she wants to, Agostinho knows she wouldnt be able to go at all if it wasnt for members of the lo-cal community and shell con-
tinue to push for both them and Haitians.
Theyre behind me and they trust me. There are results there, whatever I do, Agostin-ho said.
Ill do the best I can and wont stop.
Growing support for Haiti
Photo by Daniel Nugent-BowmanFrench Caf owner Grace Agostinho has raised over $50,000 for relief efforts in Haiti over the last three years. For her latest project, the Greely resident has started an agriculture program in Caracol, on the northern coast of the country, and is in search of a tractor to donate.

The Greely Legions annual country music festival at-tracted more than 300 visitors each day and raised more than $2,000 for the Winchester Dis-trict Memorial Hospital over the July 23 weekend, accord-ing to Legion president Linda Wyman.
It was very successful, we
had a lot of campers in with their trailers and the music was very good. We were glad there was no rain, she said, noting that the extreme heat that began Thursday and end-ed Saturday was only a minor problem.
The festival included many local acts from across the Ot-tawa Valley, including Gail Ga-van and Neville Wells. Many visitors brought their trailers
and RVs and rough camped off Mitch Owens Road throughout the weekend.
At the end of the three-day festival, Legion members pre-sented a cheque for $2,250 to the hospital. Chelsea Dunn, fund development associate at the hospitals foundation, said $750 of the money is going to the Close to Home campaign, which purchases technology and equipment such as CT
scanners and radiology equip-ment to increase patient care. The $750 was raised through a festival raffl e, which offered two tickets to Capital Hoedown country festival in August as well as several other prizes. The remaining $1,500 has been directed to the foundation and has yet to be designated.
The festival also generated an undisclosed amount of money for the Legion itself.
We profi t from the food sales, we had a breakfast both Saturday and Sunday, and din-ner on Saturday night. It helps in our operating expenses, be-cause it costs us a lot of money for heat and hydro to keep the branch operating, Wyman said.
She said the legion will also have a small amount left over to plan next years country fes-tival.

Thousands of Canadians lined up for hours to behold a royal prince last month, many of them only catching quick, distant glimpses despite their greatest efforts. Osgoode resi-dent Timothy Chadwick, how-ever, last week met a prince up close and personal without even waiting in line. No hassle, and no crowds. And all it took was two years of gruelling physi-cal activity, a rigorous physical training schedule, a two-week expedition into the middle of nowhere and the skills to build a homemade cannon.
Easy, peasy. The 19-year-old received one
of 156 gold level Duke of Ed-inburgh awards from Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, in Toronto on July 26, after com-pleting a two-year program that rewards youth under 25 for their interest in outdoor activities, participating in community ac-tivities and skill-building.
To earn the Duke of Edin-burgh award, participants aged 14 to 25 make a commit-ment to complete the program over a minimum of six months (bronze), a year (silver) or two years (gold). Participants must set and achieve personal goals in four categories: community service, personal skill develop-ment, physical recreation and adventurous journey.
Chadwick, a former scout who was enrolled in cadets when he started the program, set his sights on gold and, as a member of an artillery core, developed his marksmanship skills as part of his personal skill develop-ment.
Its a fantastic one to use, be-cause you start out with a ridic-ulous grouping on your target, absolutely no skill, and then af-ter a year it gets better and bet-ter, and after two years youve got a really tight grouping. You can see progress in a positive di-rection, he said.
Throughout those two years he also maintained a heavy schedule of running, pushups, situps and other physical exer-cises, and built a full-scale can-on that only shoots potatoes but to the untrained eye looks like a weapon of mass destruction. He then spent two weeks on an ex-pedition rafting through white-water, canoeing long distances and hiking through the bush.
But after all that, it was the paperwork that threw him.
Just trying to squeeze it in between school and cadet time to actually sit down and write down what youve been doing and skill building, that was the trickiest bit, he said. The rest was not bad. The expedition, there were times you were won-dering what the hell are you do-ing out there in the middle of the bush, but otherwise it was basically just keeping track of
the paperwork.Chadwick was born in Zimba-
bwe, where he grew up, attend-ed school and went to scouts as his father worked as a geologist throughout Africa. In 2005 when he was 13, he moved to Osgoode and quickly settled into the 1st Manotick scouts group and then cadets.
There the British citizen quickly moved up the ranks, be-coming a chief warrant offi cer and even spending a summer es-corting international exchange cadets around Ontario.
Completing the Duke of Ed-inburgh program was relatively easy, Chadwick said, because he was already building skills, going on adventurous journeys and completing community service as part of his cadet pro-gram anyway.
Many of the 156 Canadian youth at the awards ceremony didnt have the structure of scouts, cadets, or a school to help them through, and have to com-plete every category as a sepa-rate part of their routine. This is particularly hard for the ad-venture portion of the program, which requires participants to spend two weeks on an expedi-tion to fend for themselves.
I have a lot of respect for those guys who had to go and or-ganize everything right off the bat. Hearing those stories, I was like wow, Chadwick said, who completed his expedition as part of a six-week cadets train-
ing camp. With such an interest in tar-
get shooting and adventure, Chadwick said his cadets expe-rience was originally leading to a military career, but his lack of a Canadian citizenship has slowed him down.
As a second-year geology student at Carleton University he said he will likely join his fathers fi eld as a civilian ge-ologist, because it holds just as much promise for adventure.
It takes you all over the show and it seems like a good trade to get into. I like the bush and get-ting out in the fi eld. Id like to get a job up north and see whats up there and just get hands on, he said. Eventually he would like to join his father in North-ern Africa in the search for nat-ural resources. Sometime in the distance future he would like to explore the economic side of ge-ology, becoming a resource advi-sor at a bank.
Osgoode marksman earns Duke of Edinburgh award
Photo submittedPrince Edward, Earl of Wessex, presented Osgoode resident Timothy Chadwick with his Duke of Edinburgh award after two years of physical activity, adventures through the bush and a mastery of marksmanship.
From GAMBLING on page 1Under the old system, about
1,000 listed people were caught across the province each year. Since the cameras started matching photos in the spring, about 680 people have already been caught. This with only two-thirds of OLG sites on board and with many systems only partially operational through those months, Bitonti said.
We anticipate that our num-bers will go up, which is a good thing for the technology, but we also hope those numbers even-
tually go down, Bitonti said. We hope people will start to say in the back of their minds, I dont think Im going to go be-cause they have facial recogni-tion. Were hoping its going to prevent people from coming.
Patrons entering a casino or slots centre have their photo taken instantaneously without even having to stop. Within sec-onds, the database will decide if theres a match and alert a se-curity guard in a back room, so as not to make a scene. A silent photo alert would also come up on the front door security guards screen. Security would then discreetly approach the patron and escort them off the property. They are usually giv-en a penalty, such as doubling their time on the list.
Acrosss the river in Que-bec, Casino Lac Leamy and the other three Quebec ca-sinos do not have facial rec-ognition technology on site, but Lac Leamy communica-tions director Catherine Schel-lenberg said Loto Quebec will be putting out a call to tender
in the fall, with the hopes of in-stalling the technology in early 2012.
Bitonti said no technology is 100 per cent successful, but OLG is hoping the system will
add another layer of support for problem gamblers. Its not a foolproof system, but its just another added layer of deter-rence, sort of like a stop sign. To make people think, Am I go-
ing to chance this and maybe be embarrassed in front of my friends or other people? he ex-plained.
Since the corporation began exploring facial recognition technology in the early 2000s, Ontarios privacy commission-er Ann Cavoukian has been monitoring the process careful-ly. One of her major concerns was what happens to photos taken of patrons not on the list an issue Bitonti said has been fully addressed.
As soon as their pictures taken and nothing comes up, their picture is automatically deleted. We do not save those pictures for any reason whatso-ever, he said. As for the priva-cy of those on the self-exclusion list, the data has been biometri-cally encrypted by University of Toronto researchers to prevent hackers from accessing their in-formation. In November 2010, Cavoukian jointly released a report with OLG condoning the win-win attributes of the encryption, and OLGs privacy controls in general.
System adds another layer of support for gamblers, offi cial says
Photo by Emma JacksonThe OLG slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway are now equipped with facial recognition technology, meant to keep away problem gamblers who are on the self-exclusion list.
Its not a foolproof system, but its just another added layer of deterrence.

Ottawa may miss the SuperEx this year, but a new midway is coming to Overbrook that could fi ll the summer fair gap in Ot-tawa.
The Worlds Finest Shows, a carnival supplier, will be bringing the midway fair to Ottawa Baseball Stadiums parking lot at 300 Coventry Rd. in Overbrook. The midway, called Ottawas Midway Magic, will be a smaller scale fair than the Su-perEx, which occupied Lansdowne Park for the past 122 years. But Fat Cats gen-eral owner Duncan McDonald said he is looking forward to being able to provide fun for the entire family at the fair.
We are happy to offer up our parking lot and give people a great time and give the community something to look for-ward to in August, McDonald said.
The fair, which will be free admission and offer advance ride bracelets for $20, will also have a petting zoo, family enter-tainment, a childrens craft area and over 75 midway attractions.
There is big void in Ottawa and the midway fair is a way to fi ll the void that has been left with the SuperEx not com-ing to Ottawa this year, Worlds Finest Shows Ottawa representative Joe Pavia said.
A former SuperEx employee for 18 years, Pavia said the midway will be the exact same as the one that was at the Su-perEx, just on a slightly smaller scale.
The Central Canada Exhibition Asso-ciation announced the cancellation of the SuperEx on Feb 3. Plans to move the fair to Albion Road from its Landowne location, where it operated since 188, have been delayed because the associa-tion said they would not be able to have the infrastructure in place in time for August.
Pavia said the Ottawa Baseball Stadi-um was chosen by Worlds Finest Shows owner Barry Jaimeson because of the location and connections with transit, as well as space availability.
There are not a lot of big unencum-bered spaces that can accommodate a midway. Barry came to Ottawa, looked at venues, spotted the stadium and negoti-ated the rent, Pavia said.
McDonald said that this midway is just one of the many programs the stadium group has organized for the fi ve months they are open.
We have over 122 events planned this summer, and only 18 of those events are Fat Cats related. We are working hard at proving to everyone that this stadium is a multi-use facility, McDonald said.
Pavia is working to ensure opening day is a success.
The fair will run from Aug. 19 to 28, open weekdays at 4 p.m. until 11 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The Metcalfe Farmers Market is ask-ing Ottawa Souths most talented kids to sign up for their annual junior vendors day, in a celebration of kids crafts, cook-ing and creations.
Anyone under 17 who bakes, cooks, gar-dens or otherwise creates is invited to sell their homemade wares at the Metcalfe farmers market on Saturday, Aug. 13 be-ginning at 8 a.m.
Children can run their booth and sell their creations throughout the morning until noon. Best of all, young entrepre-neurs dont have to pay for their booth, and whatever they earn they keep a per-fect way to make some summer change.
The children really love it. A lot of times theyre baking, some sell the fl ow-ers theyve grown, some sell the jewelry that they make. Whatever it is they like
to do, said market president Phyllis Des-noyers. We sometimes have kids that are only six years old, and of course the par-ents help them, but they still do it them-selves. Other kids are teens, she said.
Desnoyers said the annual kids day still features the markets regular week-ly vendors, but adds up to 15 childrens booths. She said the special days events revolve around kids, often featuring ma-gicians, musicians and other entertain-ment for children of all ages.
Of course, Desnoyers said the market is a fun place to visit any Saturday of the summer at the Metcalfe fair grounds.
Its generally just packed with people. This is our 18th year and its a great place to spend your morning. The people love to come and visit with their friends, seniors love it, its like a meeting place, she said.
Children under 17 looking to regis-ter can call Desnoyers at 613-821-0815 or Cathy Proctor at 613-821-7888.
