News - Residents at the Osgoode Care Township Centre were treated to a special tea on March 18.

The World Tea party was meant to kick off World Hydration Week.

Kim Floren, the centre’s nutritionist, said March is nutrition month, and hydration week focuses on raising awareness about the importance of hydration.

“As we approach the summer, we want residents to remember to drink a lot,” she said.

The centre has also done some education campaigns around the week, but this year is the first that the centre teamed up with other long-term care facilities around the world.

Floren said the campaign will include an assessment of each resident’s nutrition needs, education information available in the centre’s dining hall and drinks provided in a special kitchen designed for the clients to use themselves.

“That way if they have visitors they can make some tea or coffee and have a snack,” Floren said. “If you’re at home, there’s somewhere you can go if you want to have a snack and we want our

News - George Villeneuve, a veteran from the Canadian Armed Forces, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

He has served in Cypress, Bosnia, Israel and Germany.

Villeneuve was in the hospital last June after trying to kill himself, when he learned

about a program that provides guide dogs for soldiers suffering from PTSD. “I called right away, and I had a dog within a month,” Villeneuve said, adding some people wait as long as a year to receive their service dog.

“They (Guide Dogs Canada) happened to be doing a 50 veterans in 50 days campaign, so I was lucky,” he said.

Since Vardo, named for her gypsy dog ancestry, entered his life, there have been no

thoughts of ending his life. He’s just happy she’s in it. Aside

from helping with depression, service dogs can often detect high blood sugar in diabetics and press handicap door buttons for their masters.

Villeneuve and long-time friend Daniel Drapeau were at the Alfred Taylor Community Centre in North Gower on March 14.

Rideau and District Old Time Fiddlers host fundraiser Continued from front

The Rideau and District Old Time Fiddlers were hosting a fundraiser to buy a Guide Dog – a cost of about $3,000 – for a local vet.

Irwin White, president of the club, said the each year members get together and raise money for a good cause.

This year, the club’s executive voted on providing a service dog to a vet.

The club was established

in 1984 and is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

They do 12 dinner and dances each year. The club’s members get a discounted price on the dinners for an annual fee of $35. There are currently 190 paid memberships, but Irwin said the whole community pitches in when there’s a need. “We want to thank all the private and corporate donations from Kemptville and the surrounding area, we wouldn’t

be able to do it without the help,� White said, adding he thought the service dog program was a great idea.

Drapeau, whose dog Kenya, helps him keep balance so he doesn’t need crutches, said the dog returned his faith. “We have seen so many things that make you question whether or not there is a God, but it’s easy to believe with Kenya around. Dog spelled backwards is God.�

News - Minto Skating Club is revelling in its old age this year with a tribute to one of its sweetest stars.

The club’s 110th anniversary show, Fire and Ice, will acknowledge the lifetime achievements the club’s most famous skater, Barbara Ann Scott. The event, will take place at the Minto Skating Club on April 5, with performances at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Darryl VanLuven, skating co-ordinator and organizer worked at creating an event which will highlight Scott’s career as well as highlight the history of skating and the history of the club.

“Minto is the oldest remaining club in Ontario,” VanLuven said. “We played a huge role in the development of skating, and have many achievements to our credit over the years.

The enduring success of the club and achievement of this milestone is a testament to the dedication of the thousands of members, coaches, volunteers who have worked so hard over the years.”

Not only is Minto the oldest skating club in Ontario, VanLuven added, it’s also among the oldest in Canada.

The show will take the audience through the history of the Club, starting in the early 1900s when it was formed by Lord and Lady Minto, through to the present. The tribute to Scott will be a part of the chronological order of the club’s history.

VanLuven said skaters will perform to music from the various eras. All levels of skaters in the club are participating in the event, and guest skater, Alaine Chartrand, the current Senior National Team member, will perform as well and Olympic bronze medalist and world champion Don Jackson

“Seniors tend to lose their appetite and their sense of thirst,” she said. “So it’s important for us to develop a nutrition plan that takes into account their ability to chew and swallow.

Is diluted bitumen corrosive?

No, it’s the same as any other oil.

Energy East Pipeline

According to multiple studies, including a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, pipelines carrying diluted bitumen pose no more of a safety risk than other pipelines carrying crude oil. Nor is diluted bitumen more likely to cause internal damage to pipes, or to cause spills. Energy East will carry all types of crude oil and will be one of the safest pipelines transporting oil across North America.

Conservative MP declares run in new rural riding reflect growing populations, creating 30 new ridings across Canada.

As part of the redistribution, Poilievre’s current Nepean-Carleton riding was split in two, creating a mainly rural Rideau-Carleton and a mainly urban Nepean riding.

The riding Poilievre will represent, if elected in 2015, consists of the Carleton part of his existing riding – including the communities of Manotick, Edwards, Osgoode, Vernon and North

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton has announced he will run in a new Rideau-Carleton riding in the 2015 federal election.

Poilievre, who moved his office to Mill Street in Manotick this fall, said rural residents values align with his own.

“I have found them to be similar to things I find important,” The Minister of Demo-

MP Pierre Poilievre cratic Reform said.

Elections Canada has redistributed ridings to better

Gower – and include Rideau – Goulbourn as well.

Poilievre said Elections Canada reviews ridings when new Census data is made available.

“Ridings are meant to be limited to a population of 130,000.

Because of development the population was closer to 175,000,” he said.

“It’s really not as fair because MPs with larger riding populations get the same funding as an MP with less

people. Not to mention, they have less representative voting power.”

Poilievre said he will continue to represent the residents of Nepean-Carleton until the next federal election.

“I think residents are still concerned with lower taxes, job creation and eliminating the debt,” he said, adding those planks will be in his platform for the 2015 election campaign.

It’s rumoured that John Baird, Minister of Foreign

Affairs and MP for Ottawa West-Nepean has chosen to run in the new Nepean riding, but Baird wasn’t immediately available for comment when contacted by Metroland.

Poilievre said the new riding will be a challenge to cover during the election campaign because of its sheer size.

He said he thinks residents will want to see the government continue along a path of fiscal constraint, leading to the elimination of the debt.

Museum offers tasty Arctic adventure Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature is offering its patrons one last chance to take a bite out of winter.

The museum will host an edible festival from April 3-7, featuring culture, traditions, science and culinary treats from the Canadaian Arctic.

This is the second year that the museum is presenting a festival honouring the country’s vast northern region.

Activities include Arctic food and craft fairs, chain art, a scavenger hunt, igloo building, Inuit drum demonstrations and a photo exhibit of Inuit country food in urban areas. Children and adults alike will also have the opportunity to interact with museum scientists and research staff to talk about their Arctic-related work, from

botany to Arctic fish X-rays to preparing food for rugged northern field trips.

Meg Beckel, the museum’s president, said this event explores the science of the region as well as highlights some of the great culture and people living in this part of Canada.

“The Arctic is a crucial region; it acts as an early-warning system for global environmental change,” Beckel said. “Through active scientific research in the Arctic our museum serves an important role in contributing to the global record of knowledge.”The Nunavut Tourism and Adventure Canada is helping support the event.

“Nunavut is an exotic and untamed destination much closer than you think.” said Colleen Dupuis, Nunavut Tourism’s chief operating officer. For a full list of the festival events, visit nature.ca.

Rural Ottawa South Support Services losing long-time employee jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Rural Ottawa South Support Services is saying goodbye to long-time employee Terry Watson.

Watson, who started working with ROSSS eight years ago, has moved to Visavie, a company that helps seniors find housing that suits their needs.

Watson went back to Algonquin in her 30â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to get a diploma in senior recreation.

She initially approached ROSSS to work as a volunteer, but they had an opening and she took up her post in North Gower at the Wesleyan Church.

Since her first days, ROSSS has expanded and Watson moved to the Metcalfe office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like coming home,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding she grew up in Osgoode.

There are a wide range of services for seniors. There are transportation services, Meals on Wheels, social din-

ing programs and care giver respite and support.

Watson said she would continue to volunteer with the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bereavement program, which provides social activities for seniors that have recently lost their spouses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That one is close to my heart,â&#x20AC;? Watson said.

The support that ROSSS offers is aimed at helping seniors stay at home as long as they can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our clients live independently,â&#x20AC;? Watson said.

Rotary Home hopes to continue program in face of funding woes Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Rotary Home, which provides respite care for children and young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities, is hoping to get consistent funding for its adult program.

The program is unique because it provides overnight respite care and social programs for adults with disabilities over the age of 21. Chloe Hillier, director of development for the home, said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lack of services for people over 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids get older, but they still have the same limitations,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for respite is even bigger though, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to lift a 25year-old and the parents are older.â&#x20AC;?

The second campus of the home opened on Rotary Way in 2009, thanks to fundraising from dozens of local service clubs and Rotarian branches.

The first Ottawa home opened on Rochester Avenue in 1982.

The home, receives continuous funding, from those groups to operate, as well as money from an annual golf fundraiser in June. But the patchwork of donations doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide the

same stability annual funding from the province would give.

Since the Leitrim campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; off of Bank Street, just south of Leitrim Drive - of the home opened in 2009, it has served 120 adults seeking respite. The number of night stays has ballooned from 200 to 1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw there was a need,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We serve families from all over eastern Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

But the adult program narrowly missed being closed in January. It was saved with $62,000 in funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services.

The boost from the province allowed the program to continue, but Hillier said the lack of an annual, stable funding source makes long-range planning difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fine until August and hopefully beyond that, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough for the staff and the clients, to be unsure of what our future is,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Hillier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Respite care is important for the parents to stay healthy so they can care for their children. These kids are often in wheelchairs and require a lot of medical equipment. Giving their parents a break helps to keep them at home and out of group homes or institutions.â&#x20AC;?

A RETREAT

The Rotary Way facility is a true sanctuary, both for the parents who are offered a break from the care of their often high needs children, but

Hillier said funding from local service clubs and other private donations and grant money allow the home to offer more flexible care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both in the type of the care they offer and the hours of care.

Because of funding from the Ministry of Child and Youth Services, there are 13 beds available for children under

Aside from sensory equipment, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, a water bed and a ball pit.

When you enter the wing that houses the play room and kitchen, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a line of cubbies where clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belongings are stores.

Each bedroom, whether it be the single or paired version, is decorated in bold, child-like colours. Even the sheets are an array of colours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; flying in the face of the traditional hospital setting.

The bathrooms hold state of the art tubs with lights and electronic controls that make it easy for staff to bath clients with mobility issues. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a room for teens to play Guitar Hero and socialize.

Aside from looking for funding, Hiller said she wants people to know about the facility so they can take advantage of the services they offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of referrals from CHEO and OCTC (The Ottawa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treatment Centre), but there are still a lot of people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know we are here,â&#x20AC;? she said.

For more on the Ottawa Rotary Home, visit www.rotaryhome.on.ca.

21. Hillier said there are eight beds available for the adult program, but only the home has funding and staffing to operate four or five at a time.

There are two clients per staff member, much lower than the average 5 to 1 ratio that most places have, Hillier said.

Despite stretching their budget, the home remains a haven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff here is really good at cutting through the red tape and getting help for clients that might otherwise fall through the cracks,â&#x20AC;? said Rotarian and Osgoode resident Richard Fisher.

Fisher knocked on doors to fundraise for the home and believes in what they do.

When you walk into the facility, the entrance way is very welcoming, with a seating room complete with fire place. The client intakes happen there.

Off of the entrance is the Snozelen Room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; filled with lights and sensory equipment for kids to play with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The room can be stimulating or calming, depending on the needs of the child,â&#x20AC;? Hillier said.

EDITORIAL

For the greater good

D

espite individual concerns people might have, Ottawa residents should support efforts by all levels of government to safeguard our public health.

Two recent occurrences have raised important questions about how far our governments should go to ensure public health is safeguarded.

The first involved a recent confirmed case of measles, announced earlier this month by Ottawa Public Health, that was identified in an unimmunized child who attends a school in Stittsville. The student contracted the disease while visiting the Philippines. Once a common disease, measles have been effectively eliminated in the Americas thanks to a thorough, widespread campaign of immunization. Yet in recent years, some parents have chosen not to have their children vaccinated for a variety of common diseases such as measles and chicken pox.

It takes only one child travelling to a country where widespread immunization was not conducted to contract a disease like measles, bring it back to Canada and infect others who have not been vaccinated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially young children, who are the most vulnerable. Despite widespread immunization, 122,000 people died worldwide from measles in 2012, according to the World Health Organization.

The other concern raised in Ottawa recently involved water fluoridation. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of health voted to support a campaign by the Simcoe Muskoka board of health calling on the province to take over responsibility for municipal water fluoridation. This comes as a response to votes in several towns in that region to halt the fluoridation of water, bowing to public pressure. An overwhelming amount of research shows fluoride-treated water contributes significantly to dental health, but some remain skeptical.

On both of these issues, both health officials and elected representatives at all levels deserve our absolute support to ensure the wider public good is safeguarded. Vaccination is a proven, effective method of controlling disease. Despite what individuals might think about the practice, it is not a matter of respecting a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to choose, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about respecting those who might not have a choice in the matter. Only when vaccination is nearly universal is it at its most effective. As for fluoridation, the small amounts of the substance used in our water pose an insignificant threat to human beings, but provide a significant aid to every personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-being.

There are instances when individual interests trump those of the collective. Public health should not one of them.

It could be worse than our never-ending winter

T

his is a city of mixed signals, and never more so than at the beginning of spring, or what passes for spring in these parts.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem right there. The official arrival of spring this year coincided with a freezing rain warning. Two days before spring arrived last year, the temperature was 24 C. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plus 24 degrees.

As I write this, the temperature is barely above zero, scheduled to go back below. The prediction is that it will still be below zero when you read this. And April is approaching.

Last year you had played your first golf game already.

Everybody this year says the winter is getting to them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrelenting, they say.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way too long. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been this long.

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just because everybody you talk to is older than they used to be. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. This winter is relentless. People who are usually too proud to go south in the winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because they think of themselves as tough Canadians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; went south this winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least it will be warmer when we come back,â&#x20AC;? they thought. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

As I write this, there is talk again of baseball in Ottawa, new hopes that the CanAm League will bring a team to the Ottawa

And yet, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another mixed signal. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it all that bad. People suffered a lot less in our winter than in many other places.

We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had much in the way of freezing rain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least, not compared with, say, Toronto. Further, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have hurricanes. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have floods. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have earthquakes

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least, not bad ones. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have -50 C. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have houses buried in snow. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have alligators, hardly any bears, no sharks and no poisonous snakes. As climate goes, Ottawa lives a life of moderation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps not unexpected, given our reputation for blandness.

Yet people have had enough. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up this year? Are we being babies? What happened to Canadian toughness?

As if to needle us on this point, local media from time to time locate and interview people who just love this winter and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of it. We admire them, envy them and wish people would stop interviewing them.

You expect there to be theories about our weather and there are. You are familiar with the quite persuasive studies on the effects of climate change. Climate change is not just about global warming; it is also about extreme weather and the potential for more of it.

Then there are the more specific explanations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; high pressures, low pressures, the Gulf Stream, the Alberta Clipper, the dreaded Polar Vortex and whatnot. These provide amusement and comfort to some people.

I like a more theological approach. Ottawa is being both punished and rewarded by its

weather, a mixed signal. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to have balmy temperatures all year. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get beaches and golf courses you can play in January. So we are rewarded by an absence of tidal waves, deadly snakes, crocodiles and sand all over everything.

Conversely, our punishment for not having to cope with such dangers is to be cold for at least five months of the year.

But not that cold. Not as cold as Alberta, for example. And for that, we get no oil.

See, it all balances out. This probably makes you feel a lot better, as you head out to see if the hardware store has any more salt.

Jealousy ends up tearing apart precious hand-me-down

E

merson was not happy.

The hand-medown box was wide open in the middle of the kitchen floor, and the entire family sat around it in chairs as we would at a prayer meeting at the Lutheran Church.

The call had come that morning: “She’s here...she’s here.” That’s all the station master had to say. We knew the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina had arrived on the C.P.R. train. Of course there was no touching it until after supper, the kitchen had been cleaned up, and our hands washed. Why we had to wash our hands before we touched a wood crate that come all the way from Regina by train was something I could never understand, but no one got near the box, or the mounds of clothes packed inside until we had thoroughly washed our hands!

The reason Emerson was in a state was because a nice store-bought sweater had been claimed by Earl. Alpaca, it was, Mother said. We had to admit it was a fine specimen of a sweater, and it fit Earl to a T.

Earl, being several sizes smaller than Emerson, and weighing about 50 pounds less, was the logical owner of the newly arrived sweater, once worn by a rich cousin in Regina.

But Emerson claimed since he was older, he should have had first pick, and as far as he was concerned the sweater would fit. “It’s supposed to be tight -- that’s the style of it,” he reasoned. Mother would have no part of the argument.

The sweater was Earl’s and that was the end of it.

Alas, if that were only the case! The entire box was emptied, and as usual, there was nothing in it for my sister Audrey or me -- it was all boys’ clothes. We knew some of Uncle Jack’s suits would eventually be made into skirts or jumpers for us, and the dresses Aunt Lizzie had no more use for, being several sizes too small for Mother, would be turned into blouses.

The contents of the entire box had been sorted, pawed over and put into piles, and the empty box moved out to the summer kitchen, where it would eventually be pulled apart and used for kindling for

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories the Findlay Oval.

It looked like Earl was the only one who had anything decent out of the whole box.

That is, everything else had to be cut down to size, let out, pressed or passed on to the rummage sale the Salvation Army held once a year in Renfrew. The whole evening was spent pawing over the clothes from Regina, with Emerson still insisting the one prize in the entire box, the Alpaca sweater, belonged to him.

Earl had rolled it into a ball, and it was under his arm, and as far as he was concerned, he owned it, lock, stock and barrel!

Even when we were on our knees around Mother saying our nightly prayers, Earl never let go of the sweater, and we knew he would be wearing it the next day to the Northcote School. Well, at the crack of

dawn, all heck broke loose.

Earl, who only cried if he was physically hurt, was crying like he had lost an arm.

Between sobs he was calling Emerson every vile name he could think of. Mother left making the porridge and took the stairs two at a time to settle whatever was causing the uproar. Well, it was plain to see what had happened, and it was going to take a genius to fix it.

How Emerson did what he did without being heard through the night would forever remain a mystery, but somehow he had snuck downstairs to Mother’s sewing basket; got her good scissors that no one could touch, and cut out the sleeves of the sweater.

There he stood, fully dressed with a clean plaid shirt and over the top was the nowsleeveless sweater. He ignored the fact that it barely touched

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, March 27, 2014

his waist. The arms fit, and to Emerson, that was all that mattered.

Now, Earl was small, but he was powerful when he was in full anger mode, and he attacked Emerson with fists flying. Everyone stood around in the upstairs hall, which was really the bedroom I shared with Audrey, too stunned to enter into the battle. Even Mother looked like she had turned to stone.

Earl grabbed at the sweater, latching onto a shoulder where it had been relieved of one of its sleeves, and pulled with all his might. Right before our eyes, the piece of yarn he had a firm hold on reamed off the sweater, falling in a soft mound on the bedroom floor.

Soon there was very little left to that side of the sweater.

It was unravelling and if Earl kept at it, soon there would be nothing left but the band on the bottom. Well, there was nothing to do but admit that was the last of the Alpaca sweater. Audrey said she doubted if even the wool could be saved. Mother said she would think of a punishment for Emerson after we had all gone to school, and she

could get her wits about her.

All the way out the long lane, Emerson walked half a mile behind us, like someone with leprosy.

If there was anything Emerson hated, it was doing house chores.

Mother decided every night for a week he would clean up the kitchen, and that meant putting on a long white pinny, washing the dishes, drying them, and putting them into the cupboard. “Girls chores,” he called it.

Earl didn’t think the penalty was severe enough, and so all the time Emerson was at his “girl chores,” Earl sat on the bench behind the table making faces and sneering in Emerson’s direction. Emerson dared not complain, because he knew Mother could easily add another house chore to his punishment, like peeling potatoes or making the toast in the morning. More girl chores.

City to speak on proposed subdivision in Riverside South Brandon Gillet brandon.gillet@metroland.com

News - The city is looking for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion on a proposed sub-division in Riverside South.

The public meeting will be held at the Rideauview Community Centre, rooms A and B, located at 4310 Shoreline Dr. on Mar 27, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m

The project, if approved, would build a subdivision community of three blocks consisting of 40 on street townhouses. The area would require the development of one crescent road on the south side of Borbridge Ave. Owned by the Riverside South Development Corporation, the sub-division would feature a proposed neighbourhood park and a new

French public school. The park would be developed this year and the school is scheduled to open in 2016. Both will feature easy access to the Riverview Park and Ride.

The growing neighbourhood of Earl Armstrong Road and River Road known as Riverside South will continue from this sub-division southward, west of River Road after the completion of storm

water pond five.

More information can be found in the Riverside South Community Design Plan which is available on the City of Ottawa website.

Ottawa South United Force – England English Premier League Academy Tour 2014 Memories of the recent March Break will be forever engraved in the minds of some very fortunate the OSU Force players who embarked on an ambitious and highly successful eight day OSU Force - Soccer Academy Tour of some of the world’s top soccer clubs in England.

Two teams, comprising of twenty-two U14 and ten U11 boys from the club’s Force Academy travelled to England with Head Technical Coach Paul Harris and they were joined by other OSU coaching staff as well as OSU President, Bill Michalopulos, Jim Lianos, OSU GM and Hassan Nazari, Executive Director of OSU’s strategic partner in the in the USA, the Dallas Texans, who were able to conduct strategic and alliance discussions with some key English Premier clubs and people for future opportunities. The tour focussed on practicing with some of England’s most acclaimed Football Academies. Each player was coached by the very best of English Youth Academy staff at clubs including: Chelsea FC, Fulham FC, Manchester City FC and Liverpool FC. The Academy coaching sessions were run at some of England’s top sports training facilities and Academy venues.

In addition, the OSU tour provided an excellent opportunity to put players and teams to the test by playing select exhibition games scheduled throughout the week against some of England’s finest young soccer hopefuls. Both teams held their own against Fulham, Wrexham and Everton Academy teams, proving that they are capable of playing and competing at the highest level and reaffirming the coaching methodology at Ottawa South United is truly first class.

Between the Academy practices and exhibition games, there was time for other equally memorable activities. Visits to Arsenal’s Emirates stadium, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Everton’s Goodison Park and an impromptu visit to Liverpool’s Anfield proved highly popular with all tour participants. As if this was not enough, the teams also watched a live English premier game and a live Championship Game, savouring the electric atmosphere and passion that is synonymous with English football and culture. There was even a little time to relax allowing the boys to take in the sights and sounds of London, Manchester and Liverpool.

The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Breathe through a straw for 60 seconds.

That’s what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis.

Please help us.

OSU is very proud of every player who participated and represented the club.

The coaching staff received positive and sincere accolades for the standard of soccer that both teams achieved. This OSU Force exclusive professional tour of this nature, gives players an insight into English Academy Soccer and serves as benchmark the OSU’s club development.

“This exclusive tour is in line with OSU’s long term strategic plan of developing it’s global soccer network to benefit our players, our club and our coaches.

Exposing our teams and players to such famous soccer academies is not easy, one can not simply pick up the phone and make this happen. Our robust international soccer network, our alliances, our people and our club’s success over the years is what opens up these type of exclusive opportunities to our current players and to our future teams and players. It was very satisfying to see how well our players did, and how receptive these academies were to continuing and incremental collaboration” said President , Bill Michalopulos. R0012611719-0327

you are likely to feel.

Serious health consequences can occur from such extended times of idleness. Remedies to inactivity during travel and other lengthy durations of sitting can simply include making efforts to move and stretch periodically, such as walking the aisles while onboard planes and trains. Other precautions include drinking fluids, particularly when flying; avoiding alcohol; trying not to sit in the same position overly long; and wearing comfortable clothes and shoes as opposed to tightfitting clothing and uncomfortable footwear like high heels.

There also happens to be a surprising and wonderful solution that can help alleviate all those unpleasant effects of prolonged inactivity to your feet and legs: compression stockings!

Compression stockings apply gradient compression to the legs. Gradient compression helps induce blood flow, which in turn prevents the swelling and discomfort that can occur in your feet and legs during lengthy periods of inactivity.

Compression stockings also help

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity Did you know that travel – and other prolonged periods of inactivity from standing or sitting – can have a negative impact on the health of your feet and legs?

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to safeguard against those lengthy times of inactivity, with one particularly satisfying solution!

When you travel or are otherwise inactive for long periods of time, such as for five hours or more, the time that you spend sitting without stretching or exercising can have a detrimental effect on your feet and legs. Sitting for extended periods in a confined space doesn’t allow you to move your leg muscles, and these are the same muscles that help the blood make its way back to the heart. As the hours of inactivity wear on, that period of dormancy slows the blood’s circulation, which can result in discomfort, swelling, and pain in the legs, feet and ankles. The longer you are confined without being able to move and stretch, the worse

with the control of varicose veins, venous disease, and lymphedema disorders.

If you travel or have tired, aching legs because of too much time spent standing or sitting, solutions await you at BioPed Foot & Lower Limb Care where you will find custom orthotics, footwear, lower limb bracing and compression stockings. BioPed brings you to experts in orthotics, footwear and pedorthic care. BioPed certified pedorthists specialize in assessing and providing nonsurgical treatment for conditions related to the functions and health of your feet and lower limbs. BioPed pedorthists can fit men and women of all shapes and sizes with medical grade or over-the-counter compression products.

Of particular interest, BioPed sells JOBST® brand compression stockings. JOBST® is a world leader in medical gradient compression garments and is ideal for wearing while on the plane or other situations that have you sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. Whether for business, sport or casual attire, at BioPed, you’ll discover a fine selection of colours and styles of compression stockings to suit your needs and preferences.

BioPed has 4 clinics in Ottawa – located in Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans or at the Westgate shopping centre. Head to their website: bioped.com for location and hours of operation.

Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest?

A: I have no ties to any financial funding from any city or provincial (government). I have no interest in being a councillor for any personal reason. I’m a simple resident of Greely and I want to do the best for the community.

See DAROUZE, page 17

News - George Darouze says he wants to bring his behind-the-scenes efforts to centre stage as city councillor for Osgoode.

The former president of the Osgoode-Carleton Snowmobile Trail Club sat on many stakeholder consultation groups at city hall advising retiring Coun. Doug Thompson, and he makes a habit of attending some committee meetings, too. He says that knowledge and experience negotiating at city hall and with local businesses and land

owners would serve him well as a councillor.

Originally from Lebanon, Darouze immigrated to Canada in his 20s and worked his way up from jobs as a busboy to regional manager for a corporate Bell sales office. He is now the director of business for Four-OOne Security Systems after holding a similar title with Telus.

Darouze has received volunteerism awards and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work with the snowmobile club and other community events.

He has lived in Greely with his wife

unteering, campaigning, donations or employment at any level of government or political party.

A: I started as a volunteer with a snowmobile organization in the community and I slowly progressed to become the president. I learned a lot through this … it gave me lots of experience in communicating with different groups.

I worked with the municipality, city staff and (Coun.) Thompson’s office on maintaining and obtaining (multi-use) trails through Ward 20. I also worked with Mr. Thompson on a Leitrim (Road) project. I was part of the transportation master plan and the Official Plan.

I worked and helped Mr. Thompson when he was running for council four years ago.

Darouze running in Osgoode Ward Continued from page 16

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Osgoode Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term?

A: The issue that all the residents speak about as I am out knocking on doors and speaking to residents is road infrastructure.

The garbage is an issue. I’d like to see the garbage pickup go back to weekly pickup. What I’d like to do and what I’ll be correcting if I

become a councillor (is) I will work hard to keep a close eye on every report city staff hand to councillors …

We get handed reports and our councillors sometimes … don’t micromanage the city staff and it blows up, like the Orgaworld (contract) issues, the (Airport Parkway pedestrian) bridge issue, the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge.

We need to have more of a business case. Councillors need to do their own homework and I think we need to hold all city staff accountable

for their actions. Accountability is very important.

I’d like to work closely with city staff on developing a policy (to attract) commercial, light industrial businesses to Ward 20. I would like to create policy to make it easier …

When someone comes and wants to open a business now, the red tape we put around it – they will run away.

We need to be more considerate and work with these developers and create a policy to make it easy for them to come to our south end.

Sports - The Ottawa Jr. Senators took Game 5 over the Cornwall Colts 6-0 Wednesday, to take the series 4-1 in the first round of Central Canada Hockey League playoffs.

It was another big win for the Jr. Sens, who won three in a row to clinch the series. All four victories in the series came by with wide combined margin of 20 goals.

“Obviously our offensive ability to score goals helped us, but I thought all five games we were solid defensively, eliminating their chances,” said Rick Dorval, head coach of the Jr. Sens.

The team took control of Game 5 early at Jim Durrell Recreation Complex, with Orleansnative Deric Boudreau scoring just before the

halfway mark of the first period to take the lead.

Fellow Ottawa-native Eric Clitsome added another 16 seconds later, deflating the Colts.

They added a pair of power play goals in the final three minutes of the period to head into the second with a comfortable 4-0 lead.

The Colts pressed hard in the second, looking like a team with their backs against the wall.

The Jr. Sens withstood the pressure, before adding to the lead with a goal in each of the second and third periods.

The power play was clicking all series for the Jr. Sens, as they finished the game 2-5 with the man advantage, 8-25 for the series.

The Jr. Sens use video to their advantage to adapt their game and systems to the opposition, especially in the playoffs when a series can be

won and lost based on how quickly a team can adapt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use video to look at how other teams defend, we adapt to what they do to try to be successful,â&#x20AC;? said Dorval.

Alexandre Savard-Belanger did everything

required playing between the pipes, stopping all 20 shots he faced for the shutout, including 12 in the second period.

Boudreau finished the game with a goal and three assists, including two on the power play, giving him 12 points in the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been practicing our power play all year together so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really getting the feel

for it now,â&#x20AC;? said Boudreau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Systems help a lot. We looked at Cornwall and made sure to use the right systems against them.â&#x20AC;?

Boudreau is on top of his game, with the hometown product leading the team in playoff scoring.

Looking ahead to the next round, a meet-

ing with the second-seeded Smith Falls Bears awaits the third-seeded Jr. Sens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna take the next couple days to rest up, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some guys pretty banged up, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right back to the video and drawing board, finding holes on Smith Falls to capitalize on,â&#x20AC;? said Dorval.

The Bears won the regular season series between the two clubs, 3-2.

Schedules for round two of the playoffs will be released once all first round series have finished.

Earn Extra Money! Kaba hurdles over McKoy Keep Your Weekends Free!

ROUTES AVAILABLE! We’re looking for Carriers to deliver our newspaper!

Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports - Sekou Kaba has capped off a strong season in the best way possible: winning a gold medal in the 60-metre hurdles at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in Edmonton on March 7.

It was the second CIS gold medal at the event for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gee, having also won in 2012.

The Gee-Gees were well represented at the CIS nationals, sending eight athletes.

Winning a second gold wasn’t enough for the talented Kaba, who also broke the CIS record of 7.83 seconds with his time of 7.79.

The previous record holder? Mark McKoy, who went on to become the 1992 gold medalist at the Barcelona Summer Olympics in the 110m hurdles.

In other words, pretty elite company to find yourself in. “I knew I could do it, but I think it sends a message to myself and my supporters and competitors,” said Kaba.

Kaba, who only moved to Canada in 2007, admits he wasn’t familiar with McKoy until after breaking his record. He has since watched many videos of his running and examined his running style, happy to learn anything he can of his adopted homeland.

The importance of the record is not lost on him. “Anytime you can be mentioned in a sentence with a guy like Mark McKoy is great,” he said.

The 2012 CIS season saw him go undefeated in indoor events, culminating in the gold medal.

“2012 was a great ride, I was just trying to do my best while at the same time enjoying it,”

said Kaba. His 2013 season, however, was cut short due to hamstring injuries.

He has been healthy in his current season, and competed in the provincials in February, coming in second place. It was a disappointing result for him, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise as it motivated him at the nationals where he reclaimed his crown as Canadian champion.

“Though I got beat at provincials, I think I needed that,” said Kaba. The 60m and 110m hurdles are the two events Kaba competes in, with the former ran indoors and the latter outdoors. Though he is the CIS record holder in 60m, 110m is Kaba’s specialty with him even saying he “struggles” at the 60m. “I finish strong, that’s always been my big strength so I definitely prefer 110m,” he said.

He has trained with the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club since coming to Canada from the United States in 2007, and it’s been a successful partnership. Kaba was born in Guinea, moving to the U.S. when he was 14.

“They’re absolutely great, they’ve been home to me since I stepped foot on Canadian soil,” said Kaba happily. Looking ahead, Kaba is as motivated as ever to not only make it as a professional track star, but excel.

“There’s plenty more to come, I just want to keep working hard and doing my best,” he said. The Olympics in Rio do Janiero, Brazil, in 2016 and qualification is a realistic goal. Kaba almost qualified for the 2012 Olympics, gaining citizenship just in time for the trials.

The Commonwealth Games are in August this year in Glasgow, Scotland, and Kaba has every intention of showing what he’s made of on the world stage.
