News - Proposed changes to hazard zones at Manotick and Metcalfe public schools could pose a risk to their children, parents said during a public consultation at St. Mark High School on April 30. The meeting was part of a city-wide initiative by the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority to improve efficiency in student transportation. The changes would take 122 busses off the road and save an estimated $3.3 million. In some cases those efficiencies could come from changing school start and end times to align them and allow buses to do double and triple runs. In other areas, it will mean eliminating hazard zones or changing walking rules, meaning children who would have been bussed under the old policy would start walking to school in September 2015. OSTA has been hosting a number of consultations across the city and is collecting surveys from affected

families to determine if their plan will work. “Feedback is very important,� said Vicky Kyriaco, general manager for OSTA. “At the end of the day if we can’t make a change we won’t make a change.� But unlike bell time changes, there’s little wiggle room on changes to hazard zones, as the proposals are based on scientific data the authority had compiled. “You would have to have something really significant on a route that’s not apparent on a map,� Kyriaco said. OSTA was looking to merge the hazard zone criteria, because the two school boards had different policies. Manotick Main and Bridge Street were removed because they were low volume – but one father said that was short sighted due to the Minto Mahogany development currently underway. “We are going to have 1,000 new homes in the area, surely that will change traffic flows,� he said. Kyriaco said OSTA couldn’t look at “perceived traffic.� “We need actual numbers,� she said. “Right now all we can do is work with the traffic numbers we have and it doesn’t achieve the minimum threshold.� Sara Hildebrand said there’s no sidewalk on the southern part of Long Island Road and she worries about ditches and ravines if her kids were to walk to school from her house. She also said she’s worried about visibility and the road narrowing during the winter months. See School Buses page 2

Residents oppose cell tower Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Stephanie St. John is worried about her children’s health if a proposed cell tower is built at 1071 Dozois Rd. Telus has proposed a 35metre tower for the site that would improve service for customers in Manotick and the surrounding area. The communications giant hosted an open house showcasing the location and

the proposed structure at the Greely Community Centre on April 30. A letter was sent out to the neighbouring homes on April 11, advising them of the proposal. “The closest existing structure is 3.1 kilometres away from the proposed tower location. Telus’ closest site is located 3.6 kilometres away,� it reads. “The location of these two sites does not meet the coverage objective.�

The antenna would be a 35-metre monopole with a 13-square-metre equipment shelter. St. John, who has a twoyear-old and a five-year-old at Manotick Montessori School, came to the open house, armed with information from a University of Trent professor, Dr. Magda Havas, an activist who opposes the installation of cell towers and WiFi networks.

School buses to be removed from some routes But Kyriaco said snow banks and residential roads aren’t taken into consideration. As a nod to active living and safety OSTA has worked with the city to get funding for 10 walking school buses, which would have a certified person leading the students along an established routes at the schools selected – Manotick Public School is one of the selected. Colin Van Haaften will have two kids going to Metcalfe Public School in the fall and with the

removal of Eighth Line Road as a hazard zone, his three-year-old would have to walk to school from the daycare. He has also tried to get his son on a bus due to a disability that he feels makes it unsafe for him to walk to school. “We currently pay a Grade eight student to walk him to school,” Van Haaften said, adding he may put his kids at Castor Valley Public School if the changes go forward.OSTA will host consultations until June and parents can comment at www.ottawaschoolbus.ca.

“The things she talks about are really scary,” St. John said. “Research actually shows that proximity within two kilometres of cell phone towers actually links to leukemia and brain tumours.” She says Health Canada’s guidelines are based on data from the ’90s and is outdated. Chris Gerritsen, a spokesperson for Telus said before the open house that because of the low frequency of the cell towers they must be relatively close to the coverage area to be effective. “Cell phone service is more than just a convenience, it is truly a life line for many in our cities,” he said. “Half of all phone connections in Canada are now wireless and Canadians place more than 6 million calls to 911 or emergency numbers from their mobile phones each year.” Residents have launched an online petition on change.org that had already garnered 270 signatures by May 2. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said he plans to introduce the petition in the House of Commons. Once it’s officially introduced, Industry Canada – who is responsible for approving the tower – will have 60 days to respond. When asked about Health Canada information on radio towers, Poilievre said he would leave that up to the scientists. “Health Canada does world renowned research,” he said, adding his office is

News - Mitch Kurylowicz already has more travelling under his belt than most adults. The 16-year-old Manotick teen and student at Ashbury College had been to Kenya twice by the time he was in Grade 8. It was then that he decided he would build a school. He said he was flabbergasted flying over the ghettos and seeing the level of poverty. Despite those circumstances though, he was even more surprised at the generosity of the people. “I was inspired,” he said. He visited Africa after raising funds for Free the Children projects with his school. “I had already been to Kenya in 2007 and seen the work that Free the Children does,” he said. “But the focus tends to be on building schools for girls, but to really change things boys have to be educated as well.” When Mitch returned to Kenya with his parents in 2011 he said he was inspired to help out. “I think because I was going into high school it resonated with me that if I was from Kenya my education would be done,” he said. So when he got back to

ground on the new school. He said he expects it to be up and running in the next three years. After that, Mitch said he will start to work on getting sponsors to help make sure the boys in the village will be able to attend the new school. “After that I might start to do some work in India,” he said, adding he recently visited the country and was struck by the poverty he found there.

Kidney Foundation to host golden anniversary dinner Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Eastern Ontario chapter is celebrating its golden anniversary on May 14. The chapter’s territory covers Pembroke, Hawkesbury, Cornwall and Ottawa and was started in 1964. The foundation’s largest fundraiser is the annual Kidney Walk that takes place every summer, but executive director Bruce Hill said he thought it was important to mark the occasion by celebrating the milestones in the treatment of kidney disease. The keynote speaker at the event will be Dr.

John Dossetor, the physician who co-ordinated the first twin transplant in the commonwealth. Moira Johnston was admitted to the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1958 with uremic hypersensitive seizures. She was 15. The transplant worked for 29 years until Moira passed away and the donor -- her sister Nola -- is still alive and will be attending the foundation’s dinner. The dinner is called the Celebration of Hope and will be at the Hampton Inn. “We want it to be a gathering of anyone whose life has been impacted by kidney disease -- patients or donors,” Hill said, adding the executive director of the National Kidney Foundation will come from Montreal to par-

ticipate in the event. Canadian comedian Mike MacDonald will perform at the event. The iconic comedian had a liver transplant in 2013 after a two-year battle with hepatitis C. Rabbi Reuven Bulka, well known for founding the annual Kindness Week hosted by United Way and chairman of the Trillium Gift of Life Foundation, will be the MC of the event. Hill said the eastern Ontario branch of the foundation has donated millions to research and support programs for patients in the Ottawa area. Kidney disease is a life sentence he said, often meaning trips to the hospital several times a week for dialysis.

“There are five stages to kidney disease, but most people don’t find out they have it until the last stages,” he said. “Then it’s not just a pill to fix it.” The wait list for a new kidney is a long one, and being on dialysis during the wait can have a huge financial impact on patients and their families. Hill said he hopes to raise money for research during the Celebration of Hope dinner. “It’s going to be a fun event, with live and silent auctions, as well as the speakers,” he said. Tickets are $85 and include dinner and wine. They can be purchased at kidney.akaraisin.com.

Derailing the blame game

T

he city is waging a war of words with Via Rail over recent malfunctions at Barrhaven rail crossings and, unfortunately, the fallout is public safety. Via fired the latest broadside last week, sending out a press release that accused two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossings on April 25 and 28, and in one instance, damaging a crossing gate. The accusation caught the city off guard, leaving council scrambling for more information about the two alleged incidents. Diane Deans, the chairwoman of the city’s transit commission, said it was the first time anyone at city hall had heard about it. The city later met with representatives from Via and Railterm to review both alleged incidents and concluded that while the Fallowfield crossing did go into fail-safe mode on April 28, the incident wasn’t caused by the crossing gate making contact with an OC Transpo bus, according to a letter written by Mayor Jim Watson on April 29. A statement released by Via on May 1 concurred with that assessment, but maintained that the buses in both incidents “stopped beyond the stop line,� and indicated that “these types of breaches are unacceptable.� It’s a little disturbing that the city first learned about Via’s findings through the media, but hardly

surprising, considering the history between the two following a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train at a Barrhaven crossing last September, which resulted in the deaths of six people. Over the ensuing months, the city received reports of major issues with signals at six Via crossings in Barrhaven. Frustrated by the number of signal malfunctions, council soon started criticizing Via, with the mayor threatening to ask the Ministry of Transportation to intervene and force Via to do its job. What we have here is failure to communicate. The mayor said both sides need to stop playing the blame game. A good start would be for the city to find ways to enforce its bylaw requiring bus drivers to stop at signalled rail crossings, instead of pointing accusatory fingers at Via. That this is an election year and council is spooked over the potential for legal fallout from the collision seem to only fan the flames of councillors’ desperation to avoid being caught in the fallout. For its part, Via must get its act together and fix the signals at rail crossings in Barrhaven, and not spend so much effort seeking a scapegoat. Both sides must find ways to improve communication -- we all end up losing by playing the blame game.

Is it time to take a stand against sitting?

S

itting is the new smoking, we’ve been reading. Incessantly we’ve been reading it. So incessantly that “sitting is the new smoking� is the new annoying cliche. Still, there’s no denying it. Expert after expert tells us, through our helpful news media, that excessive sitting -- which is to say, the sitting that we all do -- is responsible for such things as sore backs, elevated risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Hence, sitting being the new smoking. Most of us fall into the at-risk category. According to Statistics Canada, in a study quoted by Canadian Press, only 15 per cent of adults in Canada are getting the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of physical activity a week. The sad irony of this is that virtually the entire history of our civilization involves a struggle to allow us to sit more. When farmers produced surplus food, it enabled more people to live in towns and cities, where they could take jobs that enabled them to sit instead of walk around fields. When industrialization and mechanization produced machines and assembly lines, it took fewer people to make the products we needed. So the others could sit, becoming lawyers and journalists and image

The mobile phone meant you didn’t have to get up to answer the phone. The remote control meant you didn’t have to walk across the room to change the channel. The Internet meant you didn’t have to go to the dictionary or the encyclopedia to look something up. Plus, sports editors didn’t have to get up to answer calls from drunks at 1 a.m. to settle arguments about who scored a short-handed goal in 1959, because now the drunks could look it up on their phones. It didn’t occur to us, as we invented these things, that we were contributing to our doom. We thought they were nice. Imagine being

able to mute Don Cherry without getting off the couch! Imagine being able to look up the proper spelling of “achieve� without having to lift that heavy dictionary off the shelf. The parallels with smoking are not exact, as we shall see, but there is one here. The generations of heavy smokers who were our parents and grandparents were told that smoking would make them more sophisticated and desirable and that, far from being associated with health risks, cigarettes were smoked by doctors. Similarly, no one told us there was anything wrong with sitting. In our modern society, we associated sitting with working hard at our desks and working hard was a good thing. Where the parallel is not exact is in the fact that, so far, no social stigma attaches to smoking. Beginning about 25 years ago, smokers became pariahs, banished from workplaces, public spaces and people’s living rooms. That has not happened to sitters -- so far. But it is an intriguing possibility. Imagine the chairs disappearing from people’s living rooms, much as the ashtrays did. Imagine the chairs vanishing from the office, so that people who want to sit have to have to go outside for chair breaks. Anti-sitting zealots will demand non-sitting

zones in public places and at major events (we have already had a preview of this in the recurring debate about lawn chairs at music festivals in the city). From there it is a short step to sitting-cessation programs, the marketing of stop-sitting aids and a debate about second-hand sitting. We will also have to be prepared to deal with the invention of electronic sitting. It may work. Sitting may become a thing of the past. But we have to be ready for the consequences of that. Can Canada accommodate all the new non-sittings? More specifically, does Ontario have a place to stand?

Daycare co-operative making a big switch 24 spots available for children aged two to five years-old Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A co-operative daycare in Vanier is about to undergo some major changes. The Vanier Cooperative School Age Program has operated as a nonprofit, co-operative childcare centre in Vanier for the past 28 years but starting this September the co-operative will switch to take in only pre-school children aged two to five years-old. The daycare, is located at Assumption Catholic School, in a completely separate area, with its own kitchen, washrooms and outdoor space. The switch, said co-ordinator Kathy Arsenault is partly because daycare has changed in Ontario, based on the provincial government creating full day kindergarten, which Assumption will have in the fall. The centre has been slowly planning for the switch, which began to accept a few pre-school children in 2012, but the final change is planned for September 2014. To fill the gap from those children who are currently having child care at the co-operative, Arsenault said the Catholic School Board will start to offer extended care before and after school.

“We needed to ensure that we could continue to operate for another 30 years,” Arsenault said. “On one hand we were excited to make the change, on the other it felt like a eulogy.” Arsenault added it’s a big change and deal for the centre, which will be losing many of its children and gaining at least 24 new faces. The daycare held an open house on April 23 for parents and their children to visit, to learn more about the centre, as well as have the opportunity to sign up or meet Arsenault and the rest of the staff. “We want both parents and the children to feel comfortable,” Arsenault said. The co-operative daycare runs on the philosophy of parents helping parents with their child’s care. The centre’s board of directors is comprised of both staff and parents, who build the curriculum and programs together. All parents interested in registering for licensed childcare must first ensure their child’s name is on the city’s centralized waiting list. Call 613-2383605 or visit childcareinformation.ca To find out more about the co-operative daycare email vaniercoop@ bellnet.ca.

Tulip festival activities continue to grow this year Fireworks, free shuttle part of festival this year Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Canadian Tulip Festival will celebrate this year with a bang. The 63rd annual festival begins on May 9 with fireworks at the festival’s main site at Dow’s Lake. It will be one of the three evenings that the festival organizers have planned to have fireworks. “The plan is this year we want to preview what’s to come,” said spokesman Dave Shaw. “The idea is to make it a signature part of the festival so that when people think of the festival they think of fireworks.” The goal, Shaw said, is to have fireworks every night during the festival in the future. Fireworks will also take place at Dow’s Lake on May 14 and 17. “We plan on it being pretty spectacular,” Shaw said. The tulip festival was established in 1953, years after tulips were being donated

from the Netherlands to Canada in 1945, when the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa as a way of saying thank you for hosting Dutch Princess Juliana and her daughters in exile during the Second World War and for Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands. Each year the Netherlands send 20,000 bulbs. This year’s festival will take place from May 9 to 19 and while spring has come late this year, Shaw said there will be at least half a million tulips on display during the festival. Aside from fireworks, there will be music, dance and cuisine attractions, tulip cycling trips, a circus, an international pavilion, swordplay and an art display representing the Afghan Mission. In recognition and commemoration of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan, May 9, 2014 has been declared a National Day of Honour by Royal Proclamation.

The shuttle will run daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with extended service, until 11 p.m., because of the fireworks on May 9, 14 and 17. The Glebe BIA has also ordered 1,000 tulips to be planted along Bank Street. On Mother’s Day, May 11, the Glebe will host a Mad Hatter Tea Party from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and crafts and activities will take place at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Bank Street Mother’s Day weekend.

Creatures light up the Canadian Museum Nature Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new glowing exhibition has opened at the Canadian Museum Nature. The Creatures of Light: Nature’s Bioluminescence exhibit officially opened on May 3 and showcases organisms which produce light on the fourth floor at the museum. Produced by the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in collaboration with the museum and the Field Museum in Chicago, this museum said the show explores the amazing natural phenomena of bioluminescence and biofluorescence. The museum’s president, Meg Beckel said she was proud of the collaboration efforts of all three museums. “In the exhibit, four of our scientists share their observations of bioluminescence—in beetles, marine plankton, squid and tiny bottom-dwelling creatures—experienced during their active fieldwork,� Beckel said. The exhibit offers patrons the unique opportunity to move through recreated bioluminescence environments with everything from glowing mushroom to flashing fireflies and glow worms. Aside from land-glowing organ-

isms, the ocean has many bioluminescence organisms, with more than 90 per cent of it animals at depths below 700 metres glow. To showcase this phenomenon, the museum has a Deep Ocean section, where large models of deep sea creatures are on display. The museum has included a few activities in the exhibit, offering “glow moments� such as a graffiti glow booth which reveals products which glow, a glow in the forest kids play area and glow in the dark live scorpions. There is an additional charge above admission to view the Creatures of Light: Nature’s Bioluminescence exhibit, $8 for adults and $6 for children three to 12 years-old. The “glow moment� areas are included in regular admission. The exhibition will be an option for children planning to take Nature Camp this summer. Children six to 14 will have the opportunity to discover a variety of animals and plants which produce their own light. More information about the camp is available at nature.ca/camps. The May 23 Nature Nocturne will feature a glow-in-the-dark theme and feature the new show. Tickets for this adult only event are $20 and available at nature.ca/ nocturne.

Home &Garden Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite. A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹƒcult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients. How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of dierent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real dierence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6� soil depth (pro p – top o your growing areas with 2� of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the dierence.

Does your bathroom need a facelift? Lifestyle - Over the years, bathrooms have evolved in order to accommodate all those hurried morning showers, children’s bath times, and the few moments of relaxation that are such a treat after a hard day at work. And because your bathroom may also act as a laundry room and linen closet, it may be useful to consider enlarging or renovating it. If you have the budget and the time, you might want to envisage a complete remodel, where everything is demolished and you start from zero. Alternatively, you might want to consider a more modest project, where you keep the original position of the bathroom fittings and update the faucets, install a heated floor, and add a few extra cabinets or shelves. Many people take advantage of a complete remodel to enlarge the existing bathroom by adding part of an adjacent room. Water consumption should be taken into consideration when choosing bathroom fittings, as well as the comfort of the seat and height of the toilet. Do you prefer the standard height of between 35 and 38 cm, or the “comfort� height, which is between 40 and 43 cm? The latter is ideal for tall people and those with back or leg problems. When shopping for faucets, opt for good quality hardware with a chrome or stainless steel finish. If you’d like to incorporate the very latest in bathroom designs, keep in mind that recessed lighting is in style. As well as being more discreet, these fixtures also give more subdued lighting. Or how about a suspended linen closet, which can be a perfect place to store towels and beauty products? Recessed shelves in the shower are anFILE other current trend and are very useful for holding Do you prefer a standard height toilet or soaps and shampoos. the taller ‘comfort’ height?

Solid wood beams or made with MDF? Nobody will know except you!

Fake beams can provide authentic character Lifestyle - If you have them, you might not know what to do with them, and if you don’t have them, you might wish you did. If they’re done right, there’s nothing quite like exposed beams to enhance the cachet of a room. Would you love to incorporate this architectural feature in your home but don’t have the grandiose budget to match? Here’s the solution. First of all, you can find fake wood beams on the market. Made of polyurethane or polystyrene, they are much more affordable than a solid wood beam. Even better, you can create a false beam at a fraction of the price by using MDF (fibreboard) panels. The first step in making a false beam is to

cut three strips of MDF of the same width; typically, they range from 15 to 20 cm. Next, glue and nail them on 5-by-7 cm wood uprights. The goal is to build a three-sided box, the fourth side being the ceiling. Now all you have to do is paint or stain the beams according to the look you want to give the room: pale, dark, or natural. It is possible to give your beams the look of natural wood by creating a grain with a wood-graining tool or rocker. MDF with a wood grain finish is also available in stores. The addition of false beams should be done sparingly in order not to give the room a heavy look. Of course, the ceiling should also be high enough to lend itself to this imposing architectural style.

YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN MIGHT BE JET SKIING IN THE CARIBBEAN, BUT WHAT IF LIFE HAS OTHER PLANS FOR YOU ...

Will a health crisis tarnish your golden years? By Jennifer Bowman, Jessica Cunha and Tamara Shepherd

News - Mary wouldn’t call them her golden years. At 75, the Ottawa widow lives tightly on $25,000 a year. Her condominium fees eats up most of her income. There is little cash left over each month after she pays for food, her car, insurance, Internet service and her phone. She receives no income supplement. “Save, save, save. Put money away,” says Mary, who asked not to be identified. She is embarrassed over her dire financial straits. “Save from the time you’re 20. I don’t care if it’s $10 a week. It adds up. It makes all the difference in the world.” She and her husband held down “decent” jobs and raised five children together. But neither had a university degree. That put a ceiling on job and income opportunities, she said, and directly affected their ability to financially prepare for their retirement. Both worked until age 70. Mary is in good health. She receives two small pensions, from her job and her late husband’s work. Without them,

she doesn’t know how she’d survive. Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security (OAS) adds up to only $1,300 a month. “It never crossed my mind,” she said of her retirement. “You know it’s coming, but it’s a long way off. Then, all of a sudden, it’s there.” Mary’s retirement experience is a cautionary tale for Baby Boomers, the oldest of which are just turning 65, and for Generation Xers, those born starting in the mid-1960s on the heels of the boomers. Her financial distress in retirement is an all-too-common reality for many of Ontario’s 1.9 million seniors aged 65 or older. In fact, many Ontarians simply cannot afford to retire. Consumer costs, including health care and housing, compel them to work for wages and for health benefits. And in the next 20 years, Ontario’s population of seniors is expected to double. No one knows better how a health crisis can wreak havoc on retirement plans than Brampton’s Anne Mitchell, 67. Mitchell is gearing up for a second battle with cancer.

Except, this time, Mitchell is scrambling to come up with $52,000 for chemotherapy treatment not covered by OHIP. “It will wipe out all of our savings,” Mitchell said. “This is a big financial burden. It will wipe out our whole retirement.” Mitchell, a former office manager for a construction company and her husband John, 68, a steelworker, worked in Canada for more than 40 years and planned to fund their retirement with some retirement savings and a government pension. But no one plans for cancer. In 2009, Mitchell was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Mitchell cannot take Fludarabine and Rituximab, two very powerful chemotherapy drugs. She received only two treatments before the regime was abruptly stopped because of an adverse reaction to Fludarabine that nearly killed her. Mitchell’s doctor has prescribed Bendamustine, which OHIP will not cover. On April 7, Mitchell used her American Express card to cover the drug’s $4,500 price tag. “I felt complete and utter shock,” her husband John said, describing the reaction to the hefty bill. Moving forward, the Mitchell’s say they don’t really have a game plan to pay for the chemotherapy treatment other than drawing on their life savings and credit. “I have to make the payment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive,” John said. Under Ontario Drug Benefit coverage, seniors over age 65 pay the first $100 of their pre-

Anne Mitchell is looking at a potential cost of $50,000 for chemotherapy drugs that OHIP will not cover. scription costs, then $6.11 per prescription under the government program. But many drugs are not covered and are shockingly expensive, reported Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy with CARP. “A lot of drugs are not covered in the plan and the ones not covered are expensive. In Ontario, people could fall between the cracks,” she said. “Biologics, for example, are very, very expensive.” Biologic drugs are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, particularly conditions that affect seniors, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. It’s expected the use of biologics among seniors will grow by approximately 20 per cent in the next decade, the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association reports. Across Canada, dental and vision care are major health costs for seniors, together ac-

counting for more than 75 per cent of their health care spending. They also need funds to pay for other professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists and podiatrists. If a senior is retired or works at a job without health insurance benefits, many health costs come directly out-of-pocket. One option for retirees is to purchase private insurance, but even that is prohibitively expensive. Blue Cross health insurance coverage for a 65-yearold Ontario man who is a nonsmoker costs $85 a month for basic coverage. That monthly fee jumps to $117 for regular coverage and $147 for extended coverage. Basic coverage includes ambulance service, nursing care, dental work and partial payments towards sessions with a registered podiatrist, physiotherapist, massage therapist and chiropractor.

Blue Cross does not cover prescription drugs after age 65 because seniors in this province qualify for the Ontario Drug Benefit. A dental exam and diagnosis costs $65, according to the Ontario Dental Association’s 2014 fee schedule. Need dental X-rays? A complete set of 12 images costs $123. Cleaning and polishing your teeth costs a minimum of $55. If a senior has a crown that needs to be restored, the suggested cost is $685. Root canal therapy begins at $441. Dentures start at $751 for the upper palate and $956 for lower teeth. Seniors 65 and older pay just under $50 for an eye test. Should a senior need a chiropractor, massage therapy, physiotherapy or a podiatrist, those costs are not paid by OHIP. See DRUGS, page 24

How other countries finance long-term care News - CARP cites Germany as a “good test case” for alternate ways of funding LTC. Germany’s population is older than Canada’s: more than 20 per cent are 65 or older; five per cent are older than 80. Germany, like Japan, Korea, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, provides universal coverage for LTC, which operates much like the Canada Pension. Participation is mandatory. Individuals and employers pay equal contributions. Unemployment insurance covers contributions for the unemployed. Since 2008, total contributions for the

According to Statistics Canada, the median after-tax income for seniors over the age of 65 in 2010 was $26,185. Besides medical expenses, this money must also cover costs such as housing, food, transportation, social events and communication. Some 92 per cent of Canadian seniors aged 65 and older live in private dwellings, Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census reported. In doing so, this often requires the added costs

No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. The windows themselves, grimy from the long months when they were impossible to clean, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. When the cold

fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house: one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts, many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last

ward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer. All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the Bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house. And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer. The last job was done. Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

a good airing. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down” as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day, time better spent on the back fields. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering stove be moved to the summer kitchen, rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall. But the biggest change to me, the one I looked for-

The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey. Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up this combination only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found space to tuck things away, sight unseen. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get

he signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every win-

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF A PROPOSED OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL This official plan amendment applies city-wide. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

Star Wars fans taking prisoners Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Rob Murphy knows firsthand what it takes to make a stormtrooper cry. When wearing his homemade suit of armour, virtually identical to that worn by imperial troops in the Star Wars movie universe, the Hintonburg resident has struggled to rein in his emotions. He and other members of the Capital City Garrison of the 501st Legion, a worldwide Star Wars costuming group, find their passion for supporting children’s charities – all done on a volunteer basis – very moving. “It’s heartwarming. It’s moving stuff,” said Murphy, one of almost 40 club members who construct their own movie-precise costumes on their own dime, some of which cost more than $1,000. Seeing the looks on kids’ faces, and knowing they are helping those in need is reward enough, and has had the power to reduce a stormtrooper to tears. “That’s why I like wearing the mask,” said Murphy, who owns a mortgage brokerage. The Ottawa group has grown in popularity since its inception in 2003. Members attended nearly 60 events last year in their membership area, which extends from Kingston to Cornwall and north to the Quebec border. Though it is one of the smallest clubs that exist around the world, compared to other 501st Legion groups, it is one of the most successful at fundraising. By attracting large crowds, they indirectly helped charities generate $168,000 last year alone. They also raised $23,000 – including $10,700 at Ottawa Comiccon – in 2013 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, their chosen charity. “We’re bad guys doing good,” said Orléans resident Kevin Presseault, who dresses as a stormtrooper. The comic convention, which they plan to participate in this weekend, from May 9 to 11, at the Ernst & Young Centre, is the group’s biggest event of the year. Upwards of 60 costumers will participate in their interactive exhibit, some of them from the Rebel Legion, a similar club of fans who dress as the good guys from Star Wars. In addition to showcasing their costumes, ranging from towering wookies and Darth Vader to stormtroopers and Jedi knights, this year they’ll be throwing people in jail. For a charitable donation, convention-goers can request that stormtroopers arrest a friend or relative during the event.

“I have a feeling I’m going to be thrown in jail at one point,” said founding member and Carson Grove resident Luc Lavictoire, who plans to dress as a biker scout at the convention. “Where else can you get arrested by a stormtrooper?” said Murphy. “My daughter’s already figured it all out. She’s put a mark on mommy.” Many events, including the convention, require hours of standing in unforgiving costumes – they say it’s impossible to sit down in rigid stormtrooper armour – or being out in 40-degree heat or freezing temperatures. But they say their reward come from the smiles on children’s faces. Adults also become just as excited, and ask for photos and sometimes kisses. “You’re making life better for the little ones. That’s the reason to do this,” said Murphy, who initially was skeptical about joining the garrison because of misconceptions about the type of people who join Star Wars costuming clubs. “People think we’re all geeks, nerds, living in our parents’ basement, that we’re socially inept,” said Lavictoire. “I can guarantee that’s not true,” said Murphy, who has built 11 costumes since joining three years ago, including what he says is the first Canadian-built Gamorrean guard costumes, based on a Jabba the Hutt guard in the Return of the Jedi movie. Members, who must be at least 18 and construct their own movie-accurate costume, include a lawyer, doctors and business owners, among others. Lavictoire is a computer technician and Presseault is a minister at Greenbelt Baptist Church in Gloucester, where members built their jail. “I’ve always, always, always loved Star Wars, ever since I was a little kid,” Presseault said. “I grew up on it. I’d seen the costumes before, but didn’t realize it was such a cool club, and then when I found out about the children’s charities that they did I just fell in love with it.” Events attended by members are a family affair, with spouses helping costumed characters, and children dressing up as Jawas and even young Anakin Skywalker, among others. “Everyone loves Star Wars,” Presseault said of the appeal. “It’s timeless, it’s just a message that connects with our hearts, and we’re wired to root for the good guys. “There’s just something about the endless story of good and evil.” For details on Ottawa Comiccon, visit ottawacomiccon.com.

1. Corrections to policy changes made by OPA No. 150 and other technical changes OPA No. 150 included a number of administrative and other minor errors that are being corrected by this amendment. Other technical changes correct references to other documents or legislation, such as, Provincial guidelines for stationary noise sources. 2. Source-water Protection, Noise and Interpretation Policies and Schedule K A new Schedule K was previously circulated for comments and will now be incorporated into this amendment with new text that is proposed for Section 4.8.2 Wellhead Protection. The Environmental Noise policies in Section 4.8.7 have been updated to remove outdated references and in Section 5.4 the Interpretation policies for the Plan will identify the City’s “settlement areas”. 3. Transportation changes Changes to the City’s Transportation Master Plan occurred after adoption of OPA No. 150 which now necessitates the replacement of Schedules C and J. In addition, recent Environmental Assessments for major roads have recommended different rights-of-way widths and additional changes that could not be included in OPA 150, which now need to be reflected in Annex 1 of the Official Plan. FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to the City’s Website ottawa.ca/ opomnibus. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by 6 June 2014. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Ottawa Ice freeze out the competition Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - It was an icy finish for the other National Ringette League teams who had to play against Ottawa, this year’s national champions. Not much gets past the Ottawa Ice team, which won the annual championship, held this year in Regina. “Our trademark, I’ve always told the girls, is as long as we play good defense, and are tough to play against, we’ll always be in every game,� said head coach Al Bateman. The annual national awards, given on April 12, the last day of the competition, backed up their defensive game. The top defence award went to Old Ottawa South’s Jenna McBride. The top goalkeeper award went to Carleton Place native Tori Goble, who lives in Old Ottawa South currently. McBride also played with the Canadian national ringette team this year, and went to

the world championships, but her home team has been the Ottawa Ice for eight years. “She’s been a top-end player everywhere she’s played,� Bateman said. “She just continues to develop, she gets better every year.� Goble has played with the team for the past five years, and impressed her coaches this year by continuing to improve. “She just continued to develop at her position,� he said. “By the time we got to the end of the week at nationals, I don’t think there was a better goalie than Tori.� Bateman has some personal bragging rights as well. He, along with his three assistant coaches Jon Love, Jodie Connolly and Erin LePage, were awarded the coaching staff of the year honours. The awards were a bonus for the Ice, which already had won the gold medal game. The NRL is a league for the best players out of minor

hockey, with most first-year players starting at age 19. National Capital region players are drafted to one of three teams – Ottawa, Gloucester and Gatineau – at each year’s annual draft. “This would be the professional league for ringette,� Bateman said. “These are the best players, in the best league.� The players sign a contract that means they play exclusively for the Ottawa Ice, with an exception made for playing for the national team. Other teams in the NRL include Cambridge, Edmonton, Richmond Hill, Calgary, Montreal and Waterloo. Ottawa has been on an upward trajectory in the league. They won the bronze medal in 2012 at nationals, and got beat out in the playoffs last year. The head coach credited it to a strong base of veteran players, and quick development by SUBMITTED the newer, younger players.

The theatre says this drastic variety in their lineup been getting a strong response and they chose to continue it this year. “We changed our Centrepointe Theatres Presents programming drastically this past season and patrons responded,” said Allan Sansom, artistic producer and manager of Centrepointe Theatres. “Thus far, 11 of the 18 main stage offerings in the 2013-14 season have sold out and the two shows still remaining look like they will as well.” For more information you can go to www.centrepointetheatres.com or call the box office at 613-580-2700.

Eastbound Transit Operational Improvements Highway 417 / Pinecrest Road Interchange Notice of Submission – Design and Construction Report THE STUDY The City of Ottawa has retained MMM Group Ltd. to complete the detail design for eastbound transit operational improvements at the Highway 417 / Pinecrest Road interchange. The study area is identified on the map below. The objective of this project is to improve transit service by removing the requirement for eastbound transit vehicles to merge with highway traffic between Pinecrest Road and the Southwest Transitway. The scope of the project includes modifications to the S-E directional ramp and relocation of existing utilities and signage to accommodate ramp modifications. The design of these improvements takes into consideration the ultimate cross-section of Highway 417, which will incorporate four lanes of traffic in each direction. THE PROCESS While this is a City of Ottawa project, the work is being carried out within the Highway 417 corridor and is following the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that a Design and Construction Report (DCR), documenting the detail design, has been prepared and will be available from May 8, 2014 to June 7, 2014 for a 30day public review period. The DCR can be reviewed at the following locations during normal hours of operation: Ottawa City Hall Info Desk 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

Building blocks to promote your children’s brain health News - Experts across the globe suggest that lifestyle factors play a significant role in the brain health of people of all ages, including children. • Building block 1: Get moving. Engaging in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day encourages new brain cells and connections to form. Playing catch, hiking or swimming, are ways for the entire family to exercise together. • Building block 2: Nourish the body and mind. Maximize

your child’s intake of DHA, the fatty acid that makes up 97 percent of the omega-3s in the brain. Find it in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) or, if your child doesn’t like fish, look for it in Dairyland L’il Ones yogurt (lilones.ca/ products.php), in Natrel Baboo milk (natrel.ca/en/baboo) and in Sunrise Soya SuperSqueezies (sunrise-soya.com/ super-squeezies). • Building block 3: Embrace new activities. Continually challenge their brains inside and outside of school

through activities such as reading or playing games. Creative pursuits like dancing, painting, learning a new language or skill, will help keep your child’s mind active. • Building block 4: Expand their Social network. Nurturing friendships and engaging in social activities such as play dates, clubs and volunteering will help keep your child’s mind engaged. News Canada

Via accuses city bus of damaging rail crossing Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City officials were caught off guard on April 29 when Via Rail sent out a press release accusing two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossing signals and damaging the gate. The alleged incidents happened on April 25 and April 28. But after Via met with city officials, Mayor Jim Watson called on the company to correct what he said was misinformation Via put out to the media. Via said the second incident caused damage to the gate when it lowered onto the bus, sending the signal into fail-safe mode. But “new information� determined that the bus did not make contact with the rail crossing gate, Watson wrote in a letter to Via CEO Steve Del Bosco on April 29. The fail-safe mode was triggered because another crossing gate at the same intersection was stuck out of position because it made contact with the device’s windbreak – one of the reasons given for re-occurring signal malfunctions when Via

FILE

OC Transpo is investigating Via Rail’s accusation that two buses failed to stop at the stop line at Fallowfield Road on April 25 and April 28, damaging the crossing gate. gave an update to the city the week before. Via conceded on May 1 that the bus may not have caused the signal malfunction on April 28, but in a press release the company insisted a video shows the north gate at Fallowfield Road hitting the bus, which had stopped beyond the stop line.

The video then shows the bus backing up to the stop line, Via said. Via’s April 28 press release said it has written to Watson and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi asking them to investigate the incidents and “take appropriate measures to avoid their re-occurance.� On May 1 Via

re-iterated that it is “unacceptable� for buses to breach the stop line at rail crossings. OC Transpo began investigating the incidents after they came to light through the news media, but it’s the first time anyone at the city had heard of them, said Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the transit commission.

“OC Transpo in now investigating these claims,� she said on April 29. “It’s very important to us that we secure all the facts.� After expressing hope about improvements in communication between Via and the city last week, when Via officials came to Ottawa to give a briefing about the causes of ongoing signal malfunctions in Barrhaven, Deans said the way the bus incidents were communicated was a bit of a setback. “I’m just going to view this as a hiccup to our communications and move on,� she said, adding that Via officials agreed to meet with representatives from the city on May 30. “The people of Barrhaven don’t need a spat between the city and Via,� she said. “What they need is a real solution to a major safety concern they have.� There was no suggestion of OC Transpo buses contributing to rail signal malfunctions last week during the highly anticipated technical briefing with Via and it’s signal contractor, RailTerm. Aaron Branston of Rail“That was way to easy!�

Term said the key reasons for the ongoing and increasing number of malfunctions at six crossings in Barrhaven were: shifting of the tracks due to excessive water and salt accumulation in the gravel bed they sit on; vibrations from passing trains causing the signals to re-engage after a train passes through; and interference from an increase in electrical loads on nearby hydro lines. Final results from a review provided by an independent engineering firm were expected to be delivered to Via on April 30. Two weeks ago, Transport Canada lifted the safety order it had placed on four of the six Barrhaven rail crossings that have been malfunctioning. Employees are still stationed at crossings at Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway and train speeds are still lowered there. Transport Canada’s Rail Safety Week began on April 27. This year, Transport Canada’s grade crossing improvement program will provide $9.2 million for improvements at more than 600 railway crossings across Canada. “I just clicked and saved 90%�

Portage Over Poverty Katherine Shaw, 16, left, Emma Rogerson, 17, Jessica Dobson, 17 and Kshamina Ghelani, 17, portage their cardboard canoe on the Parliament Building grounds on April 27. They and other members of their Girl Guides of Canada 2nd Kanata Ranger unit tested the guiding skills of Rangers and Pathfinders from across the city during the fourth annual Portage Over Poverty Amazing Race. Thirteen teams took their homemade canoes to the downtown streets to compete in a photo treasure hunt. Organizers hoped to raise upwards of $2,000 from the event, which will fund a new post-secondary scholarship for a Girl Guide who exemplifies community service and promotes education for girls.

May 14th is Children and Youth in Care Day

Play in the past.

On March 25th 2014, Honourable David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, granted royal assent to Bill 53, An Act to Proclaim Children and Youth in Care Day. This day brings attention to the enormous contributions that children and youth in and leaving care make to the province, as well as the strength, bravery and resilience they demonstrate in the face of adversity. This is our opportunity to raise awareness about children and youth in care and to recommit to supporting them and helping them reach their full potential.

Mother’s Day Special Events Sunday, May 11

This month, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is celebrating the strength and resilience of approximately 600 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Though 90% of the time children and youth remain within their family home, there are circumstances that may prevent this. Situations may warrant that a child or youth be removed from their home for a short period of time until the environment is improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams. The strength they have developed is admirable.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Benefits of Circuit

The Secret to

Glowing Skin

Training

Beauty is from the inside out and the secret to glowing skin is about nourishing your body. Our top 5 tips to glowing skin are:

Cardiovascular fitness is one of the major benefits of circuit training. Your heart rate remains elevated and sustained above resting level throughout the workout. Both your lungs and hearts efficiency can improve with this training method.

1. Eat Low Glycemic Foods: A high glycemic diet tends to spike blood sugar and insulin which can contribute to acne breakouts. Stick to a whole foods, plant-rich diet low in processed food, sugar and caffeine.

2. Avoid Food Sensitivities & Allergies: There is a strong link between high dairy consumption and skin maladies such as acne and eczema.

3. Sleep On It: Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night will help repair and restore skin; the hours of sleep achieved before midnight are the most effective.

4. Get Your Omegas: Omega 3 fatty acids are inflammation busters and skin lubricators, the perfect ingredient for radiant skin!

Preparation Time: 5 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 Fillet 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces 1 tsp Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing Peppery Mango Salsa 1 small red onion, diced 2 limes, freshly juiced 1/4 cup yellow and red 3 tbsp olive oil peppers, diced 1 avocado, peeled and sliced 2 tbsp zesto pesto or Sea salt and freshly your favorite pesto ground pepper to taste ¼ cup mangos, diced TM

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon fillets on a parchment paper lined baking tray and drizzle with Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Peppery Mango Salsa: combine onion, yellow & red peppers, mangos, lime juice, olive oil and pesto in a small bowl and mix well. Serve salmon, layer avocado slices on top and garnish with salsa. Use sea salt and pepper to taste.

This form of training also promotes fat loss. Circuit training provides more fat and calorie burning than traditional weight lifting programs. More work is performed in less time, which results in greater caloric expenditure during the workout. Lean muscle mass is also improved which in turn increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more fat throughout the day. The benefits of circuit training are endless, it is a great way to lose fat mass quickly, build strength and tone, as well as improve your heart and lungs.

5. Detoxify: Cleaning from the inside out, helps to keep your hormones in check and a glow to your body and energy!
