Suicide contagion study

Caitlin Crockard — 2013-05-21T21:56:39Z

There's no questioning the impact of suicide on friends and family, and when the person involved is a youth, the loss is all the more devastating. Maybe less obvious, though, is the wider fallout -- what the loss of a classmate or a friend-of-a-friend can mean for a teen's own mental state.

According to a new study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, young people who lose a schoolmate to suicide are up to five times more likely to consider or attempt it themselves. Dr. Ian Colman is the senior author of the report, and he joined us with the details.

The mayor responds to the idea of a Kettle Island bridge

Caitlin Crockard — 2013-05-16T21:40:21Z

This week, we heard about the National Capital Commission's recommendation that the Kettle Island corridor be used for a future interprovincial bridge. The bridge is needed, some studies say, to remove truck traffic from the King Edward Ave route. Residents near the Kettle Island area are against the idea of a bridge, while those near King Edward support it. And where does the city stand on the issue? Mayor Jim Watson joined us to explain.

Response to the resignation of the head of Library and Archives

Caitlin Crockard — 2013-05-16T21:29:07Z

As the media continues to dig deeper into the expenses of Senator Mike Duffy, another institution just up the road is facing a spending scandal of its own. The head of Library and Archives Canada, Daniel Caron, resigned yesterday.

The controversy started when it was reported that Caron spent $4500 for private Spanish lessons. A spokesperson said Caron took the classes to have a basic ability in Spanish for international conferences. But then it was revealed Caron racked up more than $170 thousand in 2011 and 2012, for expenses such as meals, air travel and hotels.

His sudden resignation has many people asking: what's next for Library and Archives Canada?
James Opp is a historian at Carleton University and the co-director for the school's Centre for Public History, and he joined us with his thoughts.

One family's amazing autism journey

Susan Burgess — 2013-05-16T14:54:01Z

We've brought you a lot of stories lately about the huge challenges facing parents of children with autism. John Jarecsni and Susan Torrie have experienced many of them with their 21-year-old son Robert. But they've also found an amazing way to turn one of his unusual interests into something positive. Turns out Robert loves streetlights. And when they're burned out, he's passionate about making sure the city knows about it. Alan spoke with Robert and his parents about their adventures in the world of Ottawa's streetlights.

Robert's journey to lead a fulfilling, productive life as an autistic adult hasn't been easy. Alan also spoke with Robert's mother, Susan Torrie, about the system of government services for people with autism, and its shortcomings.

D is for Dinner: BBQ'ing with Ted Reader

Caitlin Crockard — 2013-05-15T19:45:47Z

Celebrity barbecue chef Ted Reader says that he can use anything as a grill...So Alan didn't feel too bad about inviting him to his tiny little backyward and tiny little barbecue, to test one of the recipes from Reader's latest cookbook Gastro Grilling.

Alan says he was already a little worried because Reader's "Slash N Grill" chicken recipe called for the use of Miss Vickies BBQ potato chips, and he couldn't find them in three different stores and went with Jalapeno flavour instead. But one thing we learned in this D is For Dinner, you go with the flow...

Slash & Grill Chicken Drums

Serves 6

12 chicken drumsticks, plump and meaty
2 tbls (30 mL) Bone Dust BBQ Spice (or other dry rub)
2 tbls (30 mL) Tabasco Chipotle Sauce
2 tbls (30 mL) icing sugar
2 tbls (30 mL) your favourite gourmet BBQ sauce
1 oz (30 mL) Red Stag by Jim Beam
3 tbls (45 mL) melted butter
2 cups (500 mL) coarsely crushed BBQ-flavoured potato chips

Take a sharp knife and slash the outside of the chicken drumsticks, about ¼ to ½ inch (0.5 to 1 cm) deep at most. Rub Bone Dust BBQ Spice into the drums, making sure to rub it into the slashes. Let marinate in the rub for at least an hour. If you can go overnight, the flavor intensifies.

Fire up your grill to 350-450°F (180-230°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the chipotle-flavored hot sauce, icing sugar, barbeque sauce and black cherry bourbon. Stir it until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.

Grill chicken drums for 20-25 minutes, turning frequently, until the drums are nicely charred and fully cooked but still moist and tender. Minimum internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) should be reached.

Place all the drumsticks into a large bowl. Add the butter and chipotle-black cherry bourbon mixture. Toss. Add the crushed BBQ potato chips and toss again. Serve immediately

How about conducting the NAC Orchestra? While they play Led Zeppelin?

Caitlin Crockard — 2013-05-15T19:24:10Z
