Ottawa's casino gamble: lessons from Windsor
Could Ottawa hit the jackpot by building a casino? Twenty years ago, Windsor asked itself the same question. Chris Vander Doelen, the first casino reporter for The Windsor Star, talks to Robyn about what a casino has done for that city, and what Ottawa should think about.

World in One City -- Phillippines
Arnie Cayetano arrived in Ottawa from the Philippines in 1989. He was 16-years-old. His family came here after his father died and his mother saw an opportunity for a better life in Canada.
And one thing Arnie became known for is his love for food. Robyn paid Arnie a visit for our weekly food series World In One City. They met at his home in Nepean.

Public Servant's widow speaks
An Ottawa widow is speaking out about her husband's suicide.
Eric - whose last name we've agreed not to reveal - was a lawyer at Justice Canada.
His wife describes him as a star employee.
But he had received an 'affected notice' as part of on-going public service layoffs.
That meant he had to compete to try to keep his job.
And at the same time, he was also struggling with a mental illness.
This past July, Eric took his own life.
His wife Clarissa, whose last name we're also withholding, told his story to our colleagues at Radio-Canada. We hear from her and then we follow up with Dr. Simon Hatcher. He's a professor of psychiatry at the University of Ottawa, and at the Royal.

Butterflies begin their journey in a grade 7 classroom
These little critters may be smaller than a teacup, but they're about to embark on a journey across the continent.
It's migration time for Monarch butterflies.
And for some Ottawa students, that means letting go of their classroom pets.
Grade Seven students at Glen Cairn Public School have been raising nine Monarch butterflies since school began earlier this month.
Today, they're releasing them to the wild. Shelley MacWhirter is the teacher in charge of the project.

Katsura Sunshine brightens up the studio
But it was very new to Katsura Sunshine -- that's the Rakugo name given to Toronto-born actor Greg Robic who became the first foreigner to learn the ancient art of comic storytelling.
Katsura Sunshine - as he prefers to be called - performs today at the University of Ottawa.

Sleep away the pounds..
Turns out, not only is sleep enjoyable and healthy... but it can help you lose weight, too.
That's according to a new editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal... which recommends we lose weight not only by measuring calories in and energy out... but snooze time, too.
It was co-authored by Ottawa obesity expert Jean-Phillippe Chaput - who's also a professor at the University of Ottawa's school of human kinetics.

A high school team comes back from the brink
We heard yesterday that 11 Ottawa high-schools will have no sports teams this fall.
It's the fallout of teachers protesting the Province's new "anti-strike" legislation.
Nepean was one of the high schools who announced they would be fielding no teams --- at least for the fall season.
Including, its girls Field Hockey team.
But it turns out, even that decision was in flux.
Stu Mills brought us the story and two school trustess give their reaction.

Teachers take "a pause" that could last all year for some students
Nearly half of Ottawa high schools will have NO extra-curricular sports teams this fall.
That's according to numbers released yesterday by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.
Yesterday was the deadline for schools to register their sports teams.
But teachers have been asked by their unions to take a "pause" from after school activities.
So where does this leave students?
Danielle Saunders is in grade 11 at Ridgemont High School.
Jaedie (JAY-dee) Sansom is also in grade 11 at Longsfields Davidson Heights Secondary School. They talk to Robyn about their experience. And then our education columnists Joel Westheimer looks at the value of extra-curricula activities.

Thoughts on the lockout from the Sensplex locker room
There's no telling when the lockout will end. But it's not looking good.
Neither the league nor the NHL players association has committed to face-to-face negotiations to end the labor unrest.
Despite all this: a practice took place at the SensPlex yesterday.
Stu Mills dropped by to find out what PLAYERS think about the lockout.

World in One City - New Zealand
In our weekly food series, The World In One City, Robyn has shared a meal with people from 21 countries.
Austria, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, Czech, Greece, India, Italy, Jamaica, Morocco,
Nigeria, Norway, Peru, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey and Ukraine.
The one region she hasn't hit is the South Pacific.
So Robyn thought it was time to fix that.
This week, her host for a meal is a fella called Kiwi Mike.
He's from Auckland..
And no he did not light up a Barbie and slap on some lamb, he opted for a breakfast dish that is popular in New Zealand, but not that well known outside it.
But before he got to that...Mike started with something he and Robyn have in common - and are totally lost without in the morning.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
25g or 1oz butter (optional)
Jam
Whipping cream
Directions
Beat the egg and sugar until thick and add the milk to the sifted flour, salt and baking powder. Lastly add melted butter. Mix until smooth and cook in spoonfuls on a hot greased griddle.
Serve with plenty of jam and whipped cream. Fold in half. Don't use utensils. Do make a mess.

McGuinty Mondays begins
It's not the best reason to have a weekday named after you.
But at elementary schools across Ontario, teachers are observing the first "McGuinty Monday." It's the latest stand in their fight against new legislation from the province.
The legislation imposes wage freezes, pay cuts and benefit reductions for teachers and prevents them from striking for two years.
But that's not stopping teachers from fighting back. Today is their first McGuinty Monday.
Stephen Skoutajan (SKO-tie-ann) is a teacher at Devonshire Public School -- and Rachel Inch teaches at Broadview Public School.

Parents of Eric Leighton call for inquiry into thier son's death
The explosion happened in May of last year.
Eric Leighton - a high school student at Mother Theresa in Barrhaven - was making a bbq in shop class.
A spark caught... and he died later from his injuries.
Since then, the Ottawa Catholic School board was ordered to pay a fine.
But yesterday, Eric Leighton's parents spoke out saying - that's not enough.
They want a coroner's inquest into his death... to make sure safety regulations are in place to protect others.

Municipal Panel: Sinkholes, sewers and simmering questions
While traffic is now moving along one eastbound lane of highway 174 ... the road isn't slated to fully re-open until next week. And questions are swirling about how this could have happened... and how much money has been sunk into the repairs. Good questions for our municipal panel.

Students push back as teachers take a 'pause'
Dalton McGuinty is calling on teachers not to pull out of extracurricular activities because they're angry with the government. This came after teacher's unions called on their members to "take a pause" from extracurricula activities. Well, students at several Ottawa high schools have responded with their own "labour action."
Yesterday, senior students at Merivale High School wore school jerseys and school colours to show support for their school and its extracurricular activities.
Stu Mills visited Merivale to find out more

Father pushes military for answers about his son's death
In Ottawa today, military officials are pouring over the details of Corporal Stuart Langridge's death.
He was a Canadian solider who served in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
But in March of 2008, he hanged himself.
His family claims he was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder --- a disorder they say the military ignored.
The Military Police Complaints Commisssion resumed hearings last week into his death.
And yesterday, a psychologist from the Department of National Defence who examined Langridge testified that yes, he likely was suffering from PTSD.
Shaun Fynes is Stuart's step-father.
He's also one of the people testifying.

Tom McSorley reviews "The Words"
"The Words" is the story of a writer who discovers an old manuscript and publishes it as his own book. Things go well until the original author turns up to confront the perpetrator of this literary hoax. It stars Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Irons and Ottawa Morning's film critic Tom McSorley has seen it.

Taking back the tips
When you leave a tip at a restaurant, you probably assume the money goes to the person who served you.
But, as the rules currently stand, bar and restaurant owners can take a portion of that money too.
An NDP private members bill at Queen's Park is trying to put an end to that.
Michael Vorobej certainly hopes that it does.
He's an Ottawa server and member of the Ottawa Banquet Servers Association.
He's traveling to Queens Park to meet with the Minister of Labour tomorrow. He spoke to Robyn this morning.

Barefoot Running
Thousands of runners will be pounding the pavement during the Army Run this month.
And while most will be sporting traditional running shoes, some won't have much separating their feet from the asphalt.
It's part of the growing trend of "barefoot running."
Carly Warnock is trying to keep up with the stripped-down jogging style.
She is a masters student in medical anthropology at the University of Ottawa.
And she's starting a study of the culture of barefoot running.

Weekender slams the lid on canning
It's the time of year when people are getting into peaches. And pickles. And chutneys and jams.
Canning is an end-of summer ritual.
And home-canning has been making a comeback.
Our Weekender Denise Fung decided to roll up her sleeves for it as well.

Reason for the sinkhole and why it could happen again
It now looks like it could be more than a week before the sinkhole on Highway 174 is repaired.
But the question remains...how did it happen?
Gerry Mulhern has a theory.
He's an engineer, and the executive director of the Ontario Concrete Pipe Association.
We reached him in Toronto.

Municipal panel on that sinking feeling at City Hall
It happened in the blink of an eye.
One minute, Juan Pedro Unger was driving on Highway 174, just before the Jeanne D'Arc exit, the next, he was peering up from a massive hole that had completely swallowed his car.
Turns out city crews had inspected the site, and a contractor had actually started work that day.
But that's where the answers end ---- and there are alot more questions still floating around city hall. Which is why this was a good time for our municipal panel.
David Reevely is a city hall reporter with the Ottawa Citizen. He filled in for Joanne Chianello this morning. And Alistair Steele is a CBC reporter who regularly covers City Hall.

Completing the Mongol Rally..mostly in tact.
If thought you took an epic road trip this summer, it probably didn't compare to the Five Crew Canoe. That's the name of an Ottawa team that took part in a race called the Mongol Rally.
They started in the UK.
And 16 hundred kilometres later...over mountains, through deserts, military checkpoints and with one bout of chicken pox...they finished in Mongolia. Two of its members stopped by the studio this morning. Here's Robyn's conversation with Amy Morris and Brad Prouse.

Swallowed by a sinkhole!
It was a hellish rush hour in the east end yesterday. But it was much, much worse for the driver of a silver car that fell into a sinkhole on highway 174 at the Jeanne D'arc exit in Orleans.
The driver managed to climb out without major injuries.
His name is Juan-Pedro Unger and he's a 48-year-old public servant.
The CBC reached him a few hours after it happened to hear the tale. Hear that and then listen to Bob Monette the city councillor for Orleans talking about how the transport committee intends to deal with this.

Quebec Election voters panel returns to Ottawa Morning
They listened, they weighed their options... and yesterday, they voted.
We've reassembled our voters panel to get their thoughts on how the night unfolded.
Rick Henderson is a retired school teacher from Aylmer.
Isabelle Hétu is a student at the University of Ottawa, living in Hull.
And Richard Ledbetter is a farmer in Pontiac.
Good morning all of you.

Tough times for teachers might mean tense times in the classroom
And for teachers, it could be the beginning of a long battle.
That's in part because of legislation introduced last week at Queen's Park that will freeze teachers wages, and ban strikes for two years.
At an annual labour day parade yesterday, in Ottawa, some teachers, expressed their concerns about what they might face heading back to work, and back into the classroom.
So will labour strife seep it's way into the classroom in the coming months?
Our education columnist Joel Westheimer has been thinking it over --- he's a professor in the faculty of education at the University of Ottawa and joins me know.

RCMP tells union plane carrying anti-Harper message to land
If you looked up into the skies above Ottawa at just the right moment on Saturday you may have spotted it.
A small yellow plane... carrying a banner, in French saying StephenHarperNousDetest dot ca.
The translation: "Stephen Harper Hates Us."
The public service union - PSAC - chartered the plane.
But the R-C-M-P ordered the plane to land.
PSAC says it was because of the message attached.
Larry Rousseau is the union's Regional Executive Vice President for this area. He spoke to Robyn this morning.

The World in One City: Paul and Ayse pour their hearts into a bowl of soup
Last week we had Paul Heinbecker on the show - talking about the situation in Syria.
Paul is the former Canadian ambassador to the UN.
He emailed to invite me over to cook a World In One City dish with his wife Ayse.
She's from Turkey and they met when Paul was a young diplomat on his first foreign posting.
And if it's possible to fall in love over a soup...they did.
Here's their story:
