Kanata Stallions hockey team rebranded Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Sports - The Kanata Lasers hockey team has gone back to its original name under new ownership. Cory Greer and Nick Urbisci purchased the former Kanata Stallions junior A hockey team from John Russo, which came into effect on Jan. 3. Greer, who holds 75 per cent of the ownership shares, said he hopes the name change will help the Central Canada Hockey League team as it rebuilds. “Bringing the Kanata Lasers

back, they were a successful team; never missed the playoffs. They won the Art Bogart and Fred Page cups,” said Greer, president of the franchise. “It just made sense.” The Kanata Valley Lasers were founded in 1987 and held the name until 2002, when they were sold from the Kanata Sport Club to Dynasty Flooring Inc. The new ownership moved the team from the Jack Charron Arena to the Kanata Recreation Complex and changed the name to the Kanata Stallions. Greer said the Lasers still have a shot at the playoffs but the focus will be on creating a stronger team. “We’re really rebuilding right now. We’ve committed to picking up the speed on that, making it happen,” he said. Greer, who played junior B with the Arnprior Packers, has been coaching minor hockey for 17 years. His wife, Kim, is president of the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association. They live in Renfrew with their three boys, who all play minor hockey. “I love the hockey,” said Greer. “I enjoy working with kids. I really enjoy going out and watching hockey. This (purchase) was a good opportunity to be involved.” Greer filled in the players on the upcoming changes just before the holidays.

“We had a team get together; filled them in on what the plans are and they seemed to be very excited about it,” Greer said. “Our plan is to have a brand new start to the franchise, bring it back to one of the most successful and respected franchises in the CCHL.” Lou Nistico, general manager of the Lasers, said he thinks the name change was a good call. “I think it’s great going back to the old name; there’s a lot of history there,” he said. “I think it’s important to go back to the roots.” The team will continue playing in their Stallions’ jerseys until they can be replaced – the start of the next season at the latest – and the Lasers logo is being redesigned, said Greer.

John Hill, who spent the past four years as general manager of junior B team, the Ottawa Junior Canadians, has been hired as the director of hockey operations. The Junior Canadians won the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship twice in the past decade (2010 and 2013), the only team to accomplish that feat. “His results speak for themselves. I think we’re very fortunate to bring a guy like that on board,” said Greer. Corey Foster will remain the Lasers’ head coach but other changes will be com-

We have a lot of the right players,” he added. “We want this to be a place that kids want to come to start off their careers; where they can continue their careers at a higher level whether it be in schooling or in the OHL or

He was also named to the Canada East roster for the 2013 World Junior A Challenge and the CCHL roster for the 2013 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge. “We’re going to be losing one of the best players in the league, which is what this is all about,” said Greer.

A consistent sticking point among members of the public during almost every decision made by the city is the way in which consultation is conducted in Ottawa. Many feel the city fails to provide enough opportunity for the voices of residents to be heard, particularly on the bigger issues affecting specific communities across Ottawa. Others will contend the city doesn’t listen even when there is a chance to have a say. It’s not an issue the city is avoiding. Earlier last year, a series of public sessions were held to ask people how consultation can be conducted better in the hopes of updating a strategy for Ottawa, something that hadn’t been done since 2004. Yet complaints persist. An issue might be one where the city decides on a course of action before consulting with residents, as was the case with the green space at 160 Lees Ave. where an LRT construction staging area was proposed. Another would be development proposals where no amount of opposition to a given project appears to alter any

plans whatsoever. Whatever the case may be, people have issues with their ability to participate in the governance of the city. This poses a challenge for candidates, just as it does for the current municipal government. Whether efforts are being made to improve the consultation process or not, at the end of the day, if residents don’t feel as though they can affect decisions made in the city, something is broken. If the public faith in the system is failing, the system itself is failing to a certain extent. Nobody wants to see that happen. The opportunity presented by the current circumstances is that any candidate willing to talk honestly about public consultation will have the attention of a decent number of those who will vote this October. Candidates must be wary however: although there is much work to be done to improve the way the city consults, there are limits. No amount of consultation would make everyone happy in the case of moving Transitway buses to Scott Street, for example. We shouldn’t beat ourselves over the head to achieve impossible standards. The city should be committing to some form of continuous improvement of public consultation. This commitment needs to come from our leaders and there’s no better place to look for it than an election.

A bank by any other name

ell, it turns out that they’re not naming the whole of Lansdowne Park after the TD Bank – just the stadium. Some might call that good news, since the name Lansdowne has historical associations and we should keep as many them as we can. Others might not be so sure, since the name Lansdowne has become associated in the minds of some with years of unpleasant controversy and months of unpleasant construction and traffic. Maybe it would have been smarter to name the whole of Lansdowne Park complex after something else – another bank, say, or an insurance company. Maybe one of the corporations that used to have its name on the arena where the Senators play would like to get back in the game. Meanwhile, the name Frank Clair, a name with no unpleasant associations whatsoever, is going to disappear and in its place will be the name of a bank. Clair might get a statue. Those with medium-long memories will recall that it was a bit of a struggle to get Clair’s name on the stadium in the first place. Although Clair won three Grey Cups as coach and two more as general manager of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Ottawa Rough Riders during the 1960s and 1970s, it was not until 1993 that the stadium then known as Lansdowne Park was renamed in Clair’s honour. Now the stadium will honour a bank. It will be called TD Place. In case you’re interested, a quick check with Mr. Google reveals that there are at least four other TD Places in the world – in St. John’s, Calgary, Boston and Bangkok. There are no other Frank Clair Stadiums in the world. Money, of course, is behind all this. TD Bank paid a hefty sum for the naming rights, just as Canadian Tire, and before that Scotiabank, and before that Corel, paid hefty naming rights for the naming rights to that hockey arena in Kanata beside the Queen-

sway. This continues a process all over the world in which names with local relevance are replaced, on stadiums, arenas and theatres, with names that have only corporate relevance. TD is banking, pardon the expression, on an outpouring of goodwill from the public. Every time they attend a football game, even every time they drive past, they will think to themselves: “Good old TD Bank! How great that they are bringing us football.” Of course, in order for that goodwill to be achieved, TD Bank first has to get past the stage where people try to drive past the stadium, are held up by construction, and think to themselves: “Curses on TD Bank! Frank Clair never caused traffic jams like this.” Every time a community gives up a local name and replaces it with a corporate name, it becomes less distinct. That’s as true in sports and entertainment as it is in retail. As a city gives up its names, it becomes less identifiable. You can remember where Maple Leaf Gardens was, but do you have the same feeling about the Air Canada Centre? A baseball fan knows where Wrigley Field is, or Fenway Park, but can he tell you what city PNC Park is in?

That would be where the Pittsburgh Pirates play. They once played at Forbes Field, named after a war hero. PNC is a bank, by the way. All is not lost. These things come and go in cycles. Naming rights are not sold in perpetuity, and as we have seen, corporations sometimes tire of the thrill of having their names on sports venues. So another bank comes along and puts its name up in lights for a while. Maybe it won’t last. One day, the banks may wake up to the danger of losing their identity because all the arenas and stadiums sound like banks now. The answer is simple: start renaming the banks. For a start, how about the Bank of Frank Clair?

When a young person dies

t was 10 years ago that I first met one of my best friends. We met through work. A few weeks later, her boyfriend died. Just like that, he died. He was 26 years old. He died on his birthday. She’d known him his entire life. I didn’t know him at all. I was in my twenties and I remember the words of people at the funeral, about what this young man had accomplished, about how important he had been to so many people, about the gaping loss his passing would leave in their lives. I selfishly wondered if people would say such nice things about me at my funeral. Every day, we live as if we’ll live forever. And then a young person dies. This happened again recently. It doesn’t matter if you know the person. You go to the funeral. Friends of the Central And before you get there, Experimental Farm you have drinks with the young person’s friends; friends since high school; friends forever.

Not by a long shot. We still complain about weather, wonder if we’re making any kind of mark on our careers. We still selfishly question how much our own family and friends would notice our absence if we died. My friend, the one who lost her boyfriend 10 years ago, offered to write my eulogy and send it to me. She was jokingly trying to tell me that, should I die today, of course my funeral would be marked by many. Best friends are good like that -- always willing to help you out with a vanity exercise. But I told her, no. I have enough inspiration to live better and be better, to value the moments, be grateful and reassess my priorities. Because a young person has died.

Community - To celebrate Family Literacy Day, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and Rock the Arts are teaming up for an interactive puppet show and workshop to delight people of all ages on Jan. 20. During Rock the Arts’ wildly popular Animal Adventure show, the creature crew from the Kanata-based puppet company head on a field trip to the zoo, teaching the audience about how to protect the environment for animals and people alike. After the performance, attendees will have the opportunity to make their own sock puppets to take home. “We’re trying to use the workshop to teach them how

choose to do the puppet show,” said Colleen Taylor, children’s community developer at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. “They’re going to talk about how we can support the environment.” Family Literacy Day aims to promote an appreciation of lifelong learning and that learning can be fun, said Taylor. “Learning doesn’t just happen sitting in school behind a desk,” she said. “Just about anything you do with children is a learning opportunity for them … (and) if parents bring a sock, they can walk home with a puppet as well.” Space is limited and advance registration is required by calling 613-591-3686 ext. 5.

to use the puppets, then giving them the opportunity to make a puppet,” said Sarah Argue, founder of Rock the Arts. “This craft will allow them to take home puppetry and keep the passion going.” Argue added that children will have the opportunity to meet the creature crew after the performance and learn how the puppeteers use their hands and voices to bring the puppets to life. The free event will take place on Monday, Jan. 20, from 7 to 7:30 p.m., at the Kanata Recreation Complex, located at 100 Walter Baker Pl.

Trinity Presbyterian to host first performance of concert series Trinity Presbyterian Church

Community - Trinity Presbyterian Church will present the first performance of its community concert series on Jan. 18. The concert will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. at 7 p.m. and will feature Michael Curtis Hanna, a name well known in jazz circles. This talented jazz vocalist is the son of the late Sir Roland Hanna, who was one of the major figures in jazz music. Although, he now calls Ottawa home, Hanna grew up in Detroit,MI, surrounded by such jazz performers as Sarah Vaughn and a host of other notables. He has toured the United States and Japan and performed in a wide variety of choirs, groups and big bands. Accompanying Hanna, as well as performing solo is the professional pianist Kyle Zavitz, who has studied in Ottawa and Austria and performed in numerous locales. Although the concert is free, Friends of the Central Trinity intends to apply any Experimental Farm freewill proceeds towards the purchase of sound equipment for their new church presently under construction at 1817 Richardson Side Rd.

New wellness centre aims to help youth without wait times $325,000 fundraising goal to provide two beds for 24 youths over one-year period Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - A new centre in south Kanata will offer crisis and psychiatric services, counselling and assessments for youth with mental health

issues – without the barriers of wait-lists and need for government funding. Stittsville resident Terri Storey, founder and president of Terrace Youth Residential Services Inc., was set to open the doors of the Terrace Youth

R0012504685

Wellness Centre, located at 120 Terence Matthews Dr., on Jan. 15. The goal of the new centre is to provide the right services at the right time for youth and their families, she said. “We have a lot of youth that are struggling with huge mental health issues,” she said. “Parents in our community, they don’t know where to go.” Appointment wait times at facilities like the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario can be up to 18 months long, and trying to navigate the system can often be frustrating and confusing especially for a family in crisis, said Storey. The wellness centre can provide assessments, referrals and a roadmap for parents and youths struggling with suicidal thoughts, severe depression and other mental health issues, in a more timely fashion because it’s privately owned and operated. “We have no wait times,” Storey said. The Terrace Youth Wellness Centre will address the critical needs of families who are unable to find or unable to wait for public services,

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Stittsville resident Terri Storey, left, founder and president of Terrace Youth Residential Services Inc., prepares to open the doors of the Terrace Youth Wellness Centre on Jan. 15, with Amelia Kiteley, clinical coordinator at the new centre. she said. A clinical team of professionals will work with youth and families to determine the best course of treatment, as well as support for parents and caregivers to navigate the mental health system. “We’re telling all the kids to talk but there are no services (without wait-lists),”

said Storey. “We are looking to be innovative and creative like never before. We are promoting a conversation about mental health, to raise awareness and at the same time raise funds to provide services to youth who wouldn’t otherwise meet the criteria for services.” Terrace Youth Residential

Services also offers educational programs, as well as five residential homes across Ottawa and the Valley for highly suicidal youths and those with mental health issues. The program also has a respite service for family and caregivers. See #PASSIONATEMINDS, page 17

Education.

Lifestyle.

After 10 years working in Kanata as a fitness trainer, former Canadian Olympic bobsledder, John Sokolowski, recognized that too many of his clients weren’t connecting the dots between weight-loss and nutrition and, as a result, had trouble reaching their health goals. Many of them incorrectly believed that they could power their way to a specific weight-loss target with high intensity and frequent work-outs alone. What they were failing to grasp is that weight loss is, as John puts it, 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. So, after searching for an appropriate resource to help his growing clientbase, John has opened Ontario’s first Simply for Life clinic at 80 Terence Matthews Crescent in Kanata, just in time for those needing help facing the holiday feasting season.

Simply for Life clinics have been helping people in Canada for years and John was impressed by the simplicity and accountability of their programmes. First, Simply for Life (SFL) uses real food that members have no trouble finding at their favourite grocery or food store. There are no powders, pills, exotic herbs, or rare grains. Nor are there any special cooking techniques to learn, or foreign utensils and equipment to buy. Instead, SFL members receive instruction on how to finally succeed in their health improvement goals: through lifestyle change. SFL team members provide common sense meal-planning that is easy to follow, even with hectic schedules and reduced leisure time.

Equally as important as SFL’s no-gimmick approach to food selection is their helpful practice of accountability. New members are invited to attend the SFL clinic on a weekly basis for a 15 minute visit with their counselor. Any difficulties experienced during the previous week are worked through to help prevent the risk of derailing the client’s journey to health. It also gives members a chance to receive helpful nutrition tips and advice, and reinforces SFL’s tenet of providing help when it’s needed.

SFL is based on the premise that a credible and responsible organization that promotes improved personal health and fitness must advocate for a lifestyle change, rather than a “quick-fix” diet or regimen. To provide even more to their members, SFL also offers stress management as a part of their counseling. Under John’s leadership and in-depth knowledge of fitness and well-being, those who have joined to date are already reaping the rewards and are actually looking forward to meeting the seasonal challenges ahead! You can reach John or any member of the SFL team by calling 613-591-FOOD (3663) or by email at info. kanata@simplyforlife.com. Check them out on Facebook by searching for ‘Simply for Life Kanata’. They are open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. R0012460693

#PassionateMinds event aims to raise $325K for treatments Continued from page 16

“It is a paid treatment – which I hate – but there is no funding out there,” said Storey. “Every system is trying to do its best.” Her goal is to raise $325,000 to provide treatment beds to 24 youth over the course of a year. One bed costs more than $300 a day in the residential program, more than most parents can afford, she said. Her beds are usually filled by requests from the Children’s Aid Society. Storey is hosting #PassionateMinds, a fundraising and networking event on Feb. 11 at Next restaurant in Stittsville. She said she’s hoping the evening will bring together entrepreneurs, in-

dustry leaders, visionaries and individuals “to connect with each other about what matters.”

We have a lot of youth that are struggling with huge mental health issues. TERRI STOREY

“Let’s do something big for the youth in our community, because making a difference is well within reach,” Storey said. “We get to provide services with every dollar we make.”

She said there are no grants out there to help youth get the treatments they need but she’s in talks with an insurance company to allow people to make claims for mental health services. Storey, who has a master’s degree in psychology, launched Terrace Youth Residential Services 18 years ago at the age of 24. After working as a counsellor in the public school board, she saw the need for more resources for youths with mental health issues. Her company now operates across the province and serves more than 150 youth every year. For more information visit youthcare.ca. To speak with someone about a referral, call 613-831-1105 or email admin@terraceyouth.ca.

The Barley Mow Kanata;

Connected to your community

Liven Up YoUr Winter! by Brian Turner

It’s no doubt that seasonal affective disorder was named with January in mind. The sudden freeze on socializing when the holidays are over, combined with post-Christmas credit card bills can make a dark winter afternoon seem downright bleak. But the folks at The Barley Mow in Kanata (700 March Road at Terry Fox) have the heat on and the welcome mat out with a menu and atmosphere that’s guaranteed to turn the thermostat up and brighten even the coldest mid-winter freeze.

The Mow also specializes in great chef-prepared lunches served fast and fresh. The menu runs from the light to the hearty with farm-fresh locally sourced organic salads and roasted vegetable wraps to club sandwiches made with shaved prime rib beef and double smoked bacon. And in answer to many guests’ requests, more and more smoked items are appearing on the menu at the Barley Mow. When a great alternative to a hum-drum brown-bag lunch is just across from the office, why stay in? Being locally owned means the Barley Mow team knows the importance of neighbourhood connections. They offer great facilities and refreshments for local business lunches and meetings, after-work wind-down times, and the best postDecember Christmas party venue hands down. Service clubs and sports groups also have found a home at the Mow, now celebrating its 18th year of keeping Kanata residents nourished in a warm inviting dining room and bar area perfect for everything from an intimate get-together to a family celebration. When it comes to the heart of a great pub, the Barley Mow hasn’t left anything to chance. They have almost 20 different beers on tap with many artisan and craft brews to choose from. The numerous big screen TV’s have all the local, national, and international sports action available. As with their other locations, staff and management at the Mow makes it a priority to support local sports teams and organizations. They offer great team menu discounts as well as youth team sponsorships and they are a proud supporter and fundraiser for Kanata and area charities. If you are tired of the same old deep-fried so-so fare and slim selection of quality brews that regular pubs offer and are looking for a place to meet your friends and co-workers and have some fun while dining on great food at reasonable prices, then the Barley Mow has what you’re looking for. And if you can’t come to the Mow, the Mow can come to you with a full catering service that can bring all your favorites to your next party. Give them a call today at 613-599-6098 R0012505707-0116

This time of year, more than ever, just about everyone needs a break from toiling in the kitchen or slogging through a long line-up at the grocery store. The Mow crew have your relief planned and ready to go. The bill of fare contains all your favourites but with a decidedly higher than expected quality due to the fact that everything is prepared fresh on site, nothing is prepackaged and nothing comes frozen in a bag. For example, instead of pre-cooked flash-frozen deep-fried shrimp you can enjoy pan-fried fresh-made shrimp cakes as an appetizer served with a roasted garlic aioli, candied lemons, and pickled red onions; all this for the same price as ordinary restaurants or pubs. And what other lunch retreat serves a Malaysian Curry or beef, slow-cooked in Guinness and Honey Jack Daniels? Stop looking for the pizza flyer and enjoy a civilized feast for the senses. And with daily specials like half-priced apps or chef’s cut steak, your budget won’t get stressed when you reward yourself at the Barley Mow.

Celebrate Scottish poet Robbie Burns Fourth annual event to be held Jan. 25 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Celebrate the life of the Scottish poet Robbie (Robert) Burns with singing, dancing and a full meal on Jan. 25. Sherry’s School of Highland Dance will host the fourth-annual Robbie Burns Supper Dinner and Dance on Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Glen Cairn United Church. The event is a fundraiser for both the school and church, and provides an evening filled with entertainment. “Singing and dancing and eating, I mean it can’t be better,” said Sharpe. “It’s more than just the dinner and more than just watching performances. We get the whole crowd involved with the dancing and the singing. It’s quite a lively (evening).” The highland dance school will entertain the crowd with a number of performances, while Alana Morris and Friends Fiddle Group will provide a musical interlude during the meal. Afterwards, Charlie Inglis of the Scottish Country Dancing Society will get attendees up on

their feet for instructions in Scottish country dancing. “It’s going to be lots of fun,” said Sharpe, adding the event has always sold out. “It’s become very, very popular. We’re putting on a good show.” The food, which includes a traditional haggis, as well as roast beef, meats and patties, is prepared by the United Church Women’s Group. The event follows a protocol, which includes the Address to a Haggis after the dish is brought into the room escorted by bagpipers. A Scottish poet and lyricist, Burns and his work are celebrated worldwide on or near his birthday of Jan. 25. Burns died on July 21, 1796, at the age of 37. The first Burns supper was held on the anniversary of his death around the end of the 18th century by his friends. “He led quite a lifestyle; he enjoyed the ladies, he enjoyed socialising. He’s a fun character to learn about,” said Sharpe. “He gives us a chance in the middle of winter to go out and have some fun.” Tickets are $35 for adults and $12 for children under age 12, and must be purchased before Jan. 23. For more information and to order tickets, call Sharpe at 613592-2777 or email se.sharpe@ rogers.com.

Fitness Depot: Dedicated to Your Fitness and Health by Brian Turner

As the old year ends and the new approaches, more than a few of us will take a look in the mirror and decide it’s time to shape up. Maybe we’ll join a gym, but many of us will look to purchase home exercise equipment as a more convenient, comfortable, and private alternative to fitness club membership. But where to turn? Which elliptical, treadmill, rower, or exercise bike to buy? It’s easy to get lost in the myriad of websites, media ads, and avalanches of flyers overflowing our mailboxes. It’s also very easy to choose the wrong piece of equipment, that no matter how often you use it or how well designed it is, won’t deliver the results you’re looking for. And of course there’s the risk of injury because you didn’t get the appropriate advice you needed before purchasing a piece of fitness equipment that your body or physical condition isn’t suited for. Fitness Depot has been providing solutions to all these problems and concerns for over 20 years in Ottawa and their long list of satisfied and physically fit clients provide strong testament to their customer-centered way of doing business. First, all of the associates you’ll meet at either Fitness Depot location (499 Industrial Ave in the east or 255 Kanata Ave in the west) are experts on the products and accessories they offer. They have been specifically trained by North America’s major fitness equipment manufacturers and receive continual education and updates on new designs and features. They are all full-time employees and were chosen because of their commitment to physical fitness and excellent customer service. Second, if you want to try any of Fitness Depot’s equipment or products before you buy, it’s as easy as riding a bike because they’re all set up in their comfortable and roomy facilities for demo purposes. There’s no guessing from looking at a picture on the box or at some video as to whether or not you’re choosing the right product. Fitness Depot’s staff also take the time to ask the right questions to make sure that what you buy is right for you and other members of your family who might use it, and for your home. There’s no use getting the perfect home gym system if it won’t fit in your family or exercise room. In fact in most cases the associate you first meet will be the one to guide you through choosing and purchasing the right equipment and accessories to accompanying the delivery truck to your home to ensure a done-right-the-first-time set-up and to make sure you’re completely comfortable with all the features and operations.

And since they’re a depot, they carry everything they offer in stock and can arrange most installations on a same-day basis. Why wait days or weeks when you want to start your new life now? Some us of will enter Fitness Depot for the first time after being gym or club members and will be pleasantly surprised to find the same reputable major brands that our fitness club uses. Fitness Depot’s equipment suppliers are very carefully chosen and only ship to specialty retailers. You don’t have to be a fitness veteran to recognize names like LifeFitness, Precor, or Octane just to name a few. And commercial gyms and clubs also purchase their equipment from Fitness Depot. So the same expert associates that local gyms rely on, are there to serve you as well. And they’re happy to handle special orders for those rare occasions when someone is looking for a hard to find item that isn’t normally stocked. More than a few of us have experienced (or know someone who has) the difficulty that can arise when a fitness machine requires service or repair. With purchases from some retailers, the only choice is to package it up and send it back. But Fitness Depot runs a complete service centre in Ottawa that’s as close as your computer mouse. And since they offer their own in-house extended service plans, affordable peace of mind comes along with professional technicians. Whether it’s a simple adjustment or minor repair, or part replacement, it’s all part of Fitness Depot’s A to Z white-glove customer service. For Ottawa’s truly largest selection of fitness equipment and gear at the guaranteed lowest prices, with service that’s as fit as a fiddle, there really is only one choice with two great locations: Fitness Depot. East end manager Paul Riley and west end’s Kevin DeForge and their very physical teams are on site and on track Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Sundays from noon to 5:00 pm. You can reach them by phone at 613-247-8888 (East) or 613-591-8988 (West). Their website at www.fitnessdepotottawa.com has full details and specs on everything they sell. Good quality home fitness equipment means a long term relationship that brings much more value than flashy offers on unknown brands. With Fitness Depot, nothing’s holding you back from a fit future.

Fitness Depot is proud to be the Official Fitness Equipment Supplier for the Ottawa Senators™

Carp actor explores bullying in Shape of a Girl ‘Everyone can be the bully and anyone can be bullied’ Jessica Cunha

Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold

Arts - Carp resident Megan Carty explores the shades of Location_MyriadPro_Bold grey of bullying in the play OUTLINED The ShapeALL of TYPE a Girl. The 21-year-old is hoping the performance will spark a dialogue about bullying, hierarchical teenage relationships and manipulative behaviours. “I’ve seen lots of bullying stories and they’re all very black and white, bully versus victim. This just sees the grey of it,” she said. “Everyone can be the bully and anyone can be bullied depending on the circumstance. We don’t always choose love. We (bully others) not because we’re a villain, but because we’re trying to protect ourselves. That is something this play really does well.” Carty is a member of the Cart Before the Horse Theatre – an amateur company that is “committed to exploring the authentic teenage voice” – and this is the group’s first production. She said that often youth issues are explored through the eyes of people who are far removed from the experience. “There’s nothing else like this. There’s no company like ours,” Carty said. “Our mandate is to explore issues

that we’re afraid to talk about through the authentic teenage voice and young characters in contemporary theatre and how they see their world.” To this end, director Paul Griffin has included a chorus of eight female Grade 10 students from Canterbury High School, Carty’s alma mater, in the one-woman play. The story follows 15year-old Braidie – played by Carty – who is witness to the worsening abuse, torment and ostracism inflicted on a girl named Sophie. The addition of a chorus, who are all the same age as the female protagonist, helps bring an authenticity to the performance, Carty said. “It’s good to get that young voice in the mix,” said Carty, adding the play shows the perspective of bullying from those who are “smack in the middle of it. “For our chorus, the experience of bullying is not a memory; it is happening now and it affects everyone.” Towards the end of rehearsals, she said the chorus members started opening up about their own run-ins with bullying and how the play was helping them make sense of their experiences. “That’s exactly what I want people to do when they leave this play,” she said. “Anybody who’s been a 15-yearold girl, who’s been through

Everyone will find some parallels with their own experience. “Moms and their young daughters should go see this play so they can talk about it.” Three shows have already been performed and Carty said they have had “huge crowds and the overall response was excellent.” Three more shows of The Shape of a Girl will take place on Jan. 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 19 at 2 p.m., at the Avalon Studio, 738-A Bank St. Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for adults and

The Shape of a Girl is written by Canadian playwright Joan Macleod and is inspired by the murder of Reena Virk. In 1997, 14-year-old Reena was invited to a party near the Gorge waterway in British Columbia When she arrived, she was surrounded and beaten by eight teens. Two of the attackers dragged Reena into the water and held her head under. See SHAPE, page 25

Shape of a Girl represents ‘grim’ reality: stage manager

Six years later, Carty emailed Macleod to request consent to perform the piece with Cart Before the Horse and was granted permission. “We’ve taken a very creative approach at it; we’re not just (acting) out the one-person show that’s written on the page.” The director decided to bring in the eight person chorus to add dimension to the original script. “The story helped me make sense of a lot of tough times during high school and it still resonates with me on a very personal level,” said Carty. “I believe that theatre is an amazing outlet to explore topics we are otherwise afraid to talk about, and that is why I feel such a strong desire to do this play. “It’s the kind of theatre that I would want to go see.” Carty has been acting for as long as she can remember. “I directed all my friends in movies in the basement,” she said. “(My parents) thought that was normal.” She began acting lessons at

No one reported the incident and Reena’s body washed ashore eight days later. “Shape of a Girl is a play that hits close to home for most girls as it represents a sadly grim and accurate depiction of what young girls are experiencing during their most vulnerable stage of life. Our female audience will definitely see some parallels with their own adolescent experiences, as I know I have,” said Zahra Larche, stage manager and recent graduate of Canterbury, in a press release. “It’s an issue that we still keep behind closed doors and I’m privileged to be involved in a creative project that can kick down a door that rigid.” Carty first read the play when she was the same age as the protagonist. Having experienced and witnessed bullying and ostracism during her teenage years, she identified with the content. “Right then and there I just locked it in my head that I just have to do that play,” she said.

Carty graduated from Canterbury in 2010 and attended theatre school at Studio 58 in Vancouver. She’s played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet with Kanata Theatre, and Anne in Anne of Green Gables with Rural Root Theatre. She has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland and an original twowoman play, called Enough which focused on body image

I don’t want to just be an actor; I want to be an artist.” Currently, Carty is a fulltime puppeteer for Rock the Arts, a Kanata-based company, and has performed more than 400 shows for children all across Canada.

Like most of us he studied, graduated, married, had kids and worked a very busy and fulfilling life in Shanghai, China. So busy in fact that he had no time to develop other more creative interests. No time until now. Sun Haibao, chair of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre, has designed the poster for this year’s New Year Celebration. Haibao works everyday to ensure his fellow seniors know they have support when they need it. His life is very different from his days in Shanghai, China, where he was a scientist conducting his research on neurophysiology studies of marine life. He was also a devoted husband and father. When he retired, he and his wife moved to Canada to be with his son. Haibao used to be a house-bound person who preferred to stay at home and help with some housework,

But when his wife died he felt alone. Life can be lonely for a senior but when you are also feeling the

language barrier and deciphering new cultural clues it can be daunting as well. Through his loneliness he remembered advice from his wife. Her wish was for him to go

out and meet people and pursue interesting things to do. It reminded him that this was the time of life to start pursuing those creative endeavours that he was too busy for earlier in his career. Lucky for him, in 2009 he met Wen Jean Ho, the founder of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre. He began to work with her to help others who are in the same situation. Sun was looking for a purpose, the purpose found him. The mission of support centre is to bring the two cultures together in our community. The support centre has many talented and interested individuals to help build a strong support network focused on integrating Chinese seniors into daily community life. Not only do the seniors have a social outlet where they meet people of their own age and interests, the support centre also introduces them to activities where their efforts can make a difference in the community. The support centre brings together at least 50 volunteers to help important initiatives needing a helping hand in our community.

TD Bank nabs naming rights new Lansdowne sport venue michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Lansdowne Park’s sports arena and stadium will be sporting a new name when the games begin starting this summer. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group and its new naming rights sponsor, TD Bank Group, announced that the former Frank Clair Stadium will be called TD Place. “We’re proud to help revitalize an area for the community to live, play and grow, and for the entire city to enjoy,” said Chris Stamper, spokesman for TD Bank Group. The agreement between the OSEG and TD Bank also makes TD the official bank for all three of OSEG’s sports franchises: the Ottawa RedBlacks, Ottawa Fury FC and Ottawa 67’s. “We look forward to providing fans a place where they can support their teams and in our love of music,” Stamper said at the announcement on Jan. 7. Construction work for the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park began in October 2012. The total seating capacity for the arena and the stadium will be 34,000, which according to OSEG will make this venue the largest sports and entertainment site in the city.

Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League from 1956-1969, winning three Grey Cup championships. After retirement, Clair was the team’s general manager for nine seasons, leading the team to two more Grey Cup championships. The stadium, known as Lansdowne Park for years, was named in Clair’s honour in 1993. TD Bank will also open a new branch as part of the larger redevelopment at Lansdowne Park. SUBMITTED

The organization said TD Bank will have significant branding throughout the complex, including a TD Comfort Zone seating area and other unnamed amenities which OSEG said will provide unique fan experiences. Music performances will also take centre stage, with TD Bank saying it will open the venue for concerts and family shows. The organization also announced that although the naming of the stadium will change, memory of Frank Clair, the famed football coach for whom the stadium was previously named, will be commemorated with a monument, OSEG said. Design for the monument will be developed in collaboration with Clair’s daughter, Robin Clair Mason. “I’m delighted that OSEG and TD respect the historical significance of Lansdowne Park and my father’s contribution to writing it through his football legacy,” said Clair Mason.

Hoodies to help the Ottawa homeless Former Ottawa resident gives back to downtown shelter Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A Vancouver-based company has committed to helping feed five people at the Ottawa Mission for every hooded sweatshirt that is sold from its website. The idea originates from a similar

fundraising effort called Hoodies for Hunger. The company, Union Apparel, started in November of last year with a local Vancouver shelter. The company helped provide 460 meals to the homeless in the city. Now, company founder and ex-Ottawan Doug Crowe wants to expand the cause to

his former home. “I think it’s important to spread help locally,” Crowe said. “If you buy a hoodie, you help someone in Ottawa - it is about community.” Crowe said the initiative is simple. When someone from the Ottawa area purchases a hoodie from Union Apparel, the company will donate a portion to the Ottawa Mission. “It’s based on people’s location,” he said. Crowe added people could also indicate where they would like the meals to go, so if someone originally from Ottawa or the Ottawa area

wishes to help out, they to can have that opportunity. Shortly after starting up the company last May, Crowe and fellow founders Caleb Hansen and Henry Recinos decided this was their opportunity to build a company based on giving back to the community. GIVING BACK

“We asked ourselves, ‘Why are we in business?’ ” Crowe said. “So we all wanted to give back so we thought, why not make charitable

projects part of the business.” In the future Crowe said he would like to see this initiative expand even further to include other cities. Crowe said he credits his charitable drive to his mother, who while he was growing up decided to become a foster mom. “She has influenced me to do this,” he said. The idea to take the donations to Ottawa, again, Crowe credits to his mother, who mentioned to him when he was home over the holidays he could expand to the Ottawa Mission. Crowe contacted the mission and the rest, he said, is up to hoodie supporters in the city. “Really it’s the customers who are making this happen,” Crowe said. “They are the ones who are really making the difference - who are buying these hoodies to help.” More information about Hoodies for Hunger or to purchase a hoodie from the company visit unionapparel.org.

Downtown communities host Winterlude fun News - Ice sculptures, stew cookoffs and the opportunity to kiss a beaver -- is there a better way to celebrate Winterlude downtown? As the main sites for Ottawa’s Winterlude Festival get ready for this year’s events, nearby communities have also signed on to offer a little winter festivities as well. Whether it’s to warm up, fill up or take on a challenge, Ottawa’s downtown business improvement areas each prom-

ise a good time. “It’s a wonderful way to celebrate winter,” said Katherine Solomon, spokeswoman for the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area. The market will host its 23rd annual charity fundraiser Winterlude Stew Cook-off on Feb. 7. The event invites the public to head down to the market with $10 in hand to eat all the stew they possible can. “It’s a really fun lunch-time event where we raise hundreds of dollars for a local charity,” Solomon said. Close to two dozen businesses

participate in the event, offering varying different types of stew. Last year, Solomon said, the event raised $6,000 for two local charities - Have a Heart, Give Smart program and the Lowertown Community Resource Centre’s summer camp programs for children. People are encouraged to vote for their favourite stew, with a new twist this year - the opportunity to vote all weekend long.

“We are working on the launch of two new traditions,” Gagne said. The BIA will kick off Spirits on Sparks - a pub crawl, where patrons can go to a number of participating pubs and restaurants on Sparks to have a taste of warm and cold featured beverages. Spirits on Sparks will take place on Feb. 14-16, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The second event, Gagne said, is a play on the famous Newfoundland ceremony known as the “screech-in” where locals welcome non-Newfoundlanders the opportunity to officially become a Newfoundlander. The ceremony involves a shot of Newfoundland rum known as screech, a short recitation and the kissing of a cod.

Businesses on Rideau will offer many different ways to stay warm, including mini film marathons, theatrical options at the Ottawa Little Theatre, culinary options and jazz at the Ottawa Winter Jazz Festival in downtown Rideau Street pubs and bars on Feb. 14. As it is during every Winterlude, Confederation Park will have its multitude of ice sculptures to view. But snow-related art will also be at abundance in the ByWard Market. Solomon said artworks made of snow will be on display along George Street sidewalks and other wider sidewalks in the market starting the first weekend of the festival. Along with three professional ice sculptures; Solomon said the BIA is welcoming local teams to try their hand at sculpting. “This is a new addition to our Winterlude programming we thing will be fun,” she said.

The new Ottawa Sparks Street tradition is called “get nipped” and will offer patrons the opportunity to be officially “nipped” with a shot of Canadian whiskey, reciting a proclamation and sealing the deal by kissing one of Canada’s favourite animals - a beaver. Although it’s launching at the start of Winterlude, Gagne said getting “nipped” will become a year-long event, with different seasons using different types of whiskey to commemorate different historical times on Sparks Street. Up first is Canadian Fireball Whiskey. “It was originally going to be ‘get shot,’ -- a play on Darcy McGee -- but we decided to make it get nipped, - which means taking a shot of whiskey,” Gagne said. “People can go into one of our bars, fire back a shot

Lack of patience spoils weekly popcorn treat

he corn popper hung on a nail behind the Findlay Oval, a big wire basket affair, blackened from use with a long steel handle. Father said his grandfather made it, but Mother was reasonably sure she saw one just like in Scott’s hardware. It didn’t matter to us how it got to the farm in Northcote, it only mattered that we had it. Nothing pleased me more on a cold winter’s night, always a Saturday, when Mother would tell Audrey to take down the popper and make up a batch of popcorn. Of course, that didn’t happen if it conflicted with the same night as the Saturday night house party. Although we grew corn, it wasn’t from our crop that we got the kernels. At Briscoe’s General Store, there was a big bag, back near the barrel of molasses and the coal-oil, which held bulk corn you could purchase by the pound. A tin scoop sat on top of the kernels with paper bags piled on the counter, and for 10 cents you got enough corn to last half the winter. My sister Audrey was the one to pop the corn. That is until the night my brother Emerson said he thought it was high time he was allowed to do the job. Audrey didn’t mind giving it up, but I had serious doubts Emerson, who said he

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories knew a faster way to pop the corn, was up to the job. It had been a long day, and Mother was in no mood to argue, so she told Emerson to get down the wire basket and take the bag of corn out of the cupboard.

to melt. Popcorn was not good without a big splash of melted butter. Well, we could see Emerson was getting impatient. Audrey told him shaking the basket faster had nothing to do with getting the kernels to pop, it

That gave Emerson an idea. If the lid wasn’t hot enough, then surely putting the basket right over the hot coals would do the trick. He dumped the amount needed into the wire basket, hooked it closed and moved over to the Findlay Oval. You had to have a strong arm to not only shake the basket continually over the hot stove lid, but to endure long minutes before the corn started to pop. Emerson seemed to think the faster you scraped the basket over the lid, the sooner the corn would start to pop. Audrey had already put a soup bowl of butter on the back of the stove

had everything to do with the heat of the stove. That gave Emerson an idea. If the lid wasn’t hot enough, then surely putting the basket right over the hot coals would do the trick. He slid the lid off, and put the basket directly in the hole it left, a nearly right on top of the burning wood. Soon the corn was popping at a great rate, and Emerson was shaking the basket like his life depended on it. Mother was watching from the end of the kitchen table,

shaking her head. She was a firm believer in letting us learn from our mistakes, and there was no doubt in her mind Emerson was in for a great lesson. The popper was full to bursting, and Emerson raced over to the table to dump it into the big baking bowl. It was soon obvious that the only popcorn we could eat was sitting in the bottom of the bowl, because the bottom half of the basket was burnt to a crisp. “Didn’t feel like popcorn anyway,” he said, surveying the blackened kernels staring him in the face. Father had wakened from the smell of the burning corn, shook his head, and promptly fell back to sleep. Mother told Emerson to scoop off the burnt kernels and take them out to the chicken coop. Nothing was wasted back in the 1930s, even burned popcorn. We divided what was edible, which wasn’t much. The next morning when I went out to gather eggs in the hen house, the burnt kernels were just where Emerson had flung them. Even the hens couldn’t eat them.

Week in Review: I have been working with staff in the Ottawa Police and Traffic departments on speeding related issues in our community. As speeding and unsafe driving are a Police matter, I would strongly encourage all residents who observe dangerous driving in their communities to contact the Ottawa Police Services with a detailed description of the individual/vehicle in question (such as date, time, colour of car, car make and model, license plate, etc.). Please ensure that you receive a tracking number from the Police after calling their non-emergency phone line at 613-236-1222 Ext. 7300. I would also appreciate it if you could pass along any tracking numbers to my office (613-580-2752 or allan.hubley@ottawa.ca) so that I can follow up on reported traffic issues with the Police. Consistent reporting about traffic issues helps the Police and City staff track any patterns in an area, which in turn helps the Police to enforce traffic laws effectively and monitor areas of concern. Ravine Park Pathway Reconstruction This project will involve the rehabilitation of the Ravine Park pathway which runs from Old Colony Road to Eagleson Road. The intent of this work to pave the pathway and to elevate it, thereby decreasing the likelihood of the pathway being flooded in heavy rain falls. The work will involve some clearing of the site, as well as some new landscaping. The project is scheduled to begin this winter with site preparation, and full construction beginning in the early spring. Construction is expected to last 6 weeks, and during that time the pathway will need to remain closed to the public. The information session being planned is your opportunity to review the plans and drawings for this pathway, and to provide feedback and ask questions. The information session will be taking place on Monday, January 27th, 2014 at 7pm at the Kanata Recreation Complex Hall A.

everything is spic and span. When it comes to cleaning that large blue whale in the Water Gallery, conservator Carolyn Leckie said it isn’t really easy at all. As the bones of this marine mammal continues to seep oil, the annual clean-up results in a week-long process of sopping up the oil on the bones. Leckie spends the week crawling, climbing, crouching and reaching along the large specimen on display to clean up things as best she can.

New exhibit features X-rays of Arctic fish Continued from page 36

“The annual clean up is really seen as the general health check up for the exhibitions,” Leckie said. Leckie first vacuums any dust from the bones. To reduce the amount of oil on the bones, a combination of diluted ammonia, paper bandages and plastic wrap does the job. Once the oil has evaporated from the home-made solution, Leckie does another once-over with the vacuum. “It can be very cumbersome, and there are many hard to reach places,” she said. This is not her only cleaning job either. In between, she is helping others clean displays, vacuuming polar bears and dinosaur bones and ridding the museum artifacts of any unwanted dirt. The annual cleanup has been ongoing for about 15 years. The museum chooses January because following the busy holiday season; the month is typically slower, with children back at school and others back at work. This doesn’t mean the museum isn’t doing daily, weekly and monthly dusting and cleaning during the rest of the year, but when it comes to larger items on display such as the blue whale, or the dinosaur exhibition, this week allows for a much thorough cleaning. “This is the type of work we can’t do while people are visiting,” Leckie said. The museum is gearing up for another busy year, kicking it off with a new exhibi-

tion which opened on Jan. 11, Beneath the Surface: X-rays of Arctic Fish. The temporary exhibit will be on display in the museum’s lower level Stone Wall Gallery, and will feature backlit x-rays images of fish found in Canada’s north. It will be on display until Jan. 4, 2015. Another exhibition recently opened is Nature Talks, the museum’s new way to explore science and its role in our lives. These talks will feature museum experts who will engage in conversations with prominent hosts, discussing fact, fiction and the future of scientific research. Nature Talks will continue throughout the winter, with each session recorded and made available on the museum’s website, nature.ca.

Serial rapist on loose, say Ottawa police Man identified in three attacks on women, seven others attacks show similarities Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Fears that a sexual predator is prowling the streets of Ottawa were confirmed on Jan. 9 as Ottawa Police confirmed three recent sexual assaults on women were linked. Seven other attacks contain similarities to the other cases, but have not officially been linked to the same assailant. The linked attacks took place between August, 2012 and October, 2013 – the first near Greenbank Road and Banner Road, the second on a footpath between Lancaster and Erinbrook Crescent, and the third on Aldea Avenue at Lasalle Street. All attacks occurred at night. The seven similar attacks

took place across the city between March of 2013 and Jan. 5, 2014, the most recent attack being on Chapman Mills Drive in Barrhaven. These attacks also took place in late evening or early morning hours. In a media conference held at Ottawa Police Headquarters, police Chief Charles Bordeleau said OPS investigators, working with victims and OPP experts, found evidence to link three cases “to one unknown individual.” “As part of the investigation, an additional seven cases were identified as presenting similarities, but have not been linked to this individual,” said Bordeleau. “As we’ve investigated each of these cases, the Ottawa Police Service has recognized its responsibility to keep the community informed, and we have strived to ensure residents remain aware of the assaults, and the developments in these cases, and reminded them of safety precautions.” Bordeleau made it clear that the criminal acts were not the fault of the victims, and appealed to the public for help in identifying the suspect. “Someone knows this indi-

vidual – they may even suspect something already,” said Bordeleau. “Call us. We need (your) assistance to protect potential future victims and identify the individual responsible.” The man wanted in the attacks is described as being possibly of Middle Eastern descent, age 20 to 30, with short dark hair, slim to medium build, and standing 5’9” to 5’11” (175 to 180 centimetres). He was also described as having trimmed facial hair, thick eyebrows and a prominent nose. Witnesses said the individual spoke English and possibly a foreign language, and seemed to take care of his appearance, with a neat or fashionable wardrobe. In the most recent case, he was described as having a toned, athletic build, with broad shoulders. “In the three linked cases, the victims were between the age of 18 and 30, (and) were all walking alone,” said Sgt. Richard Dugal, OPS criminal operations director. “The three victims were choked during the attack. This individual may show a prominence for this type of behavior

Two artist renderings of a single suspect that police say may be linked to multiple sexual assaults. in his personal or intimate relationships.” The seven other cases were similar in that they involved sexual assaults on women walking alone at night, but can’t be directly linked to the same individual. Two composite sketches of the assailant, released to the public following those assaults, were on display at the

briefing, and are available on the OPS website. A grim-faced Bordeleau vowed the attacker would be caught. “I have every confidence in members of the police service and investigators that are working on this file that we will apprehend the subject responsible…but that can’t be done alone,” he said, add-

ing that all of the city’s patrol officers and even faculty at universities and colleges have been informed of the suspect’s appearance. Anyone with information regarding the attacks can send the police tips by calling 613-221-6161 (ext. 4774), or anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 613-2338477.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

You may find your mind wandering this week, Cancer. You cannot seem to focus on the tasks at hand, but work hard to limit distractions and get your work done.
