News - Ayton Lane looks like a lot of streets in Kanata and throughout Ottawa’s suburbs.

Weeks of snow accumulation piled up on both sides of the street have narrowed the travelled roadway. Vehicles, which are legally allowed to park on both sides of the street dot both directions, creating a winding track for motorists to pick their way through, one at a time. At some homes, vehicles are parked atop snowy, frozen yards – an ad hoc seasonal driveway “expan-

sion.”

And like other areas of the city, parking frustration has reached a boiling point.

After weeks of frustration and many calls to bylaw services, residents from Ayton Lane gathered for a meeting at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Jan. 16 to discuss the situation.

“Every single street wants special attention,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who held the meeting.

Her office gets a lot of complaints about parking issues – especially as homes are packed closer and closer together in newly developed neighbourhoods. The city only requires a minimum of one parking space per unit in most cases, and that’s generally what developers build.

The strife follows a similar narrative across her ward, Wilkinson said. There are two camps of residents on Ayton Lane – residents who have multiple cars and struggle to find space for them in the winter, and those who feel their neighbourhood is becoming cramped with several cars per home cluttering streets and yards and drawing down property values.

While parking on the street is the legal route, residents on Ayton and elsewhere sometimes take to illegally parking on their lawns because it seems safer than clogging up the snow-narrowed streets.

Yard parking elicits visits from city bylaw officers Continued from page 1

“In the winter, it seems more dangerous and less safe to park on the street than on your yard,” said Angelo Pallotta. “I think you should encourage them to have their cars on the lawn more than on the street.”

“I don’t want to be part of the problem by parking on the street,” agreed Jared Boucher, who lives on the street. “I

would hate to see a kid get hit because of my car on the street.”

But yard parking elicits calls to 311 and visits from bylaw officers.

Wilkinson said she would look into whether there is a way to put an end to that.

If they all agree that parking on lawns is the least detrimental option in the winter, residents on Ayton Lane volunteered to be guinea pigs for

a different approach to parking enforcement in the suburbs.

SOLUTIONS

In the meantime, residents said they would pursue an option that’s available to anyone in the suburbs, but is infrequently used: petitioning for parking to be limited to one side of the street.

The process must be initiated by residents on the street

K A N ATA' S F U L L S E R V I C E L AW F I R M

At Allan Snelling we take pride in the legal advice we provide people.

We recognize that each client is unique and our firm is structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata.

by calling 311 and getting connected to a traffic assessment specialist.

If the specialist determines there are no safety issues, 66 per cent of all households must sign a petition agreeing to ask the city to put up signs restricting parking to one side of the street where they live.

Parking petitions are more common in urban wards like Kitchissippi, which has seen 27 of them in the last three years.

In the suburbs, Kanata North and Kanata South have each had only three petitions during that time.

Residents on Ayton pleaded for some leniency in bylaw enforcement in light of the fact the city is reviewing options to allow suburban homeowners to widen their driveways.

If the proposed changes are approved by council, the city will continue to allow driveways in the outer suburbs to take up half of the front-yard width, but adding a provision

to allow driveways to be located in front of the main home will allow more homeowners to take advantage of the 50 per cent driveway width they are already entitled to.

The driveway study is underway because the city’s current standards are “a problem,” Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson said enforcement leniency isn’t an option.

“As long as a bylaw is in existence and they get a complaint, they are legally required to check it out,” Wilkinson said.

Other potential long-term solutions touted during the meeting included encouraging car-sharing services like Vrtucar to come to Kanata or providing incentives for developers to build paid parking lots or structures for overflow and visitor parking in new suburban communities.

“These problems are almost unsolvable unless everyone only has one car,” Wilkinson said.

Parking petitions

The following number of streets in each municipal ward saw changed parking rules during this term of council due to resident parking petitions: • Kitchissippi: 27 streets • Rideau-Vanier and Capital: 14 streets • College: 12 streets • Rideau-Rockcliffe and Somerset: 10 streets • Bay and Cumberland: nine streets • River and Barrhaven: seven streets • Orléans and GloucesterSouth Nepean: six streets • Stittsville and GloucesterSouthgate: five streets • Alta Vista, Beacon HillCyrville and Knoxdale-Merivale: four streets • Kanata North, Kanata South and Innes: three streets • Rideau-Goulbourn: two streets • Osgoode and West Carleton-March: zero streets

Until snow banks were cleared after a Jan. 16 meeting, the crowded roadway on Ayton Lane in Kanata North has sparked tensions among neighbours that could result in more restrictive parking rules for the street. A similar story plays out in other neighbourhoods across the suburbs, Coun. Marianne Wilkinson says.

News - During morning and afternoon recess, Stephanie Stephens’ portable behind W. Erskine Johnston Public School is filled with music – the sound of strumming guitars, the beat of a drum and voices raised in acoustic Top 40s-pop song.

The enthusiasm of the group is infectious and listeners may find themselves nodding their heads and tapping their feet to the beat.

Some of the students began learning how to play the guitar in September, while others only started three weeks ago.

But the group sounds good, and more importantly, they all look like they’re having fun.

“It’s not only improved my guitar skills and made me an amazing guitarist,” said Kush Mishra, 11, the first member of the guitar club.

It’s also given him confidence.

club this fall after Kush first learned she could play the instrument. He asked her if she would give him a few pointers and the two stayed in during one recess to go over chords and notes.

“He and I just sat at recess and I showed him a few things,” said Stephens, who’s been playing for 13 years.

The following recess, another student showed up with a guitar to pick up some pointers, and from there the word spread. Stephens now has a following of up to 20 students – guitarists and singers – although there are usually just five to 10 who stay in for recess at any given time.

“It started out as only a few kids and just grew and grew,” said Ellie Waisglass, 11, and a vocalist for the group.

Most of the students in the guitar club never played the instrument before Stephens began the extracurricular teaching.

The group has played the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony and two Christmas concerts, as well as a mini talent show. One student taught herself how to play Taylor Swift’s Mean, performing it as a soloist at the show.

Lasers face off against Canadians for Titan Day versus CIN Academy at 4:30 p.m.

• Junior A: Kanata Lasers versus Carleton Place Canadians at 7:30 p.m.

Sports - The Kanata Lasers will face off against the Carleton Place Canadians to raise funds for Do It For Daron and youth mental health initiatives on Titan Day, Jan. 25.

Titan Day, hosted by the Ottawa Valley Titans, will feature a number of AAA hockey games at the Johnny Leroux Arena in Stittsville, culminating with the Central Canada Hockey League Junior A game at 7:30 p.m. All proceeds from the day-long event will support the Do It For Daron foundation.

“We’ve got purple sweaters for Do It For Daron and we’ll be raffling off those,” said Lou Nistico, Lasers general manager. “In our league, most of our kids come from the Titans. We wanted to hook up with them and do this fundraiser.

“We think it’s a good cause.”

Nistico said the Lasers, formerly the Kanata Stallions, are hoping to donate between $2,500 and $3,000 to the cause.

“All the money we raise from those sweaters will go to Do It For Daron and mental health,” he added.

Do It For Daron is a youth mental health charity focused on suicide prevention. Daron Richardson, daughter of former Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson, took her life at age 14 in 2010, and the charity was formed in her name. The initiative supports programs and initiatives aimed at transforming youth mental health.

This is the first time a Jr. A game will be played during Titan Day, which features major peewee AAA, minor and major bantam and midget AAA teams.

“Anytime we can get involved with the community we’ll do it,” said Nistico, adding the Lasers players are looking forward to the event.

Opening ceremonies for Titan Day start at 9 a.m. at the Johnny Leroux Arena, located at 10 Warner Colpitts Ln. Tick-

Six games will be played at the Carleton Place Arena, located at 75 Neelin St., with the puck drop at 10:30 a.m.

“We’re very excited to host this event, the fact that we can showcase our talent on the ice and also bring more exposure to the issue of youth mental health makes it that much more special,” said Kevin Abrams,

OPINION

Connected to your community

Giving women a real choice

I

n case you missed it, CBC’s Doc Zone recently profiled a number of mothers who are at their limits trying to balance work and life, in The Motherload.

Several weeks ago, I wrote a column called “The failure of feminism,” which addressed many of the concerns put forth by the women in the documentary. These included, but are not limited to the following: there is no affordable, standardized quality of childcare; if you want to make it in the business world, you have to prioritize your career at the expense of family; and the pressure on families to try and do it all is sinking many of us, leading to the destruction of the traditional, nuclear family.

On second thought, my original column was mistitled. It should have been called “The failure of the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse feminist ideal.” We are a generation of women who grew up thinking we could have it all, at the same time – that our careers would be progressive and successful, and that we would just pop out as many children as we wanted, one by one, and they would all be healthy, well-adjusted kids that went to daycare.

The reality is multifold.

For me, after I had a baby, I found it a difficult concept to go back to the 16-hour days, plus travel, that would be required if I were to build a successful career as a televi-

sion news producer. From the moment I set eyes on my first child, I became a plague to die-hard, second-generation feminists everywhere, because my priorities shifted, dramatically. I couldn’t work part-time in my profession and mother him the way I wanted to part-time. It was an all or nothing choice and, for the most part, I chose motherhood. I was lucky to have a choice. Now entering my late thirties with three children, I’m not sure if I’ve made the right choice.

Financially, things have been

tight for a family claiming to live in the middle class. We are homeowners; we have no consumer debt; we go on vacations, so I guess we’re doing okay. But what about my career trajectory? How many other professional women, like me, have made the sacrifice for their families, to try to be the idealistic 1950s housewife, all the while wondering what their supposed to do with their nurtured brains and how to pay for all those RESPs and pension contributions?

Yes, raising children right is important. But recently, I went for drinks with some friends I hadn’t seen for a decade – friends who also have children; friends who have built a career from the ground up. They may or may not be at the top of their game. I’m sure they face the pressures of elusive “balance” on a daily basis. But they have careers.

They are respected in their professions and they are role models for their children.

They are also contributing to

Students win accolades

C

intelligence and my energy as something they can emulate.

I’m fortunate enough to have some choice in where I go next. Many women aren’t. The lack of options for women, particularly the working poor, keeps women and children in poverty over generations.

So at the risk of coming full circle on everything I held sacred a decade ago, I think any government that does not put affordable, standardized quality childcare at the forefront of economic policy has no idea how to run an economy. We need women to fuel the labour force in order for Canada to remain competitive in the global world. And women need work to continue the momentum of feminism, even if the ideology is shifting. And by the way, we also need to keep having babies.

Any government that doesn’t recognize this doesn’t represent its constituents’ best interests. Your move, governments.

Roger-Saint-Denis students tied Katimivik Elementary School by ranking in the most medals – six for each school. Students from W. Erskine Johnston Public School, W.O. Mitchell Elementary School, Saint Martin de Porres Elementary School, Holy Redeemer Catholic School, Bridlewood Community Elementary School, Castlefrank Elementary School and All Saints Catholic High School also received awards.

The contest was a special affair at Roger-Saint-Denis this year because an art teacher wanted to get all the kids involved, said teacher Claudie Tellier. Her daughters, Juliette and Laurianne, both won awards and Laurianne won two.

In addition to her poster showing soldiers from different areas accompanied by two children around the Vimy Ridge monument, Laurianne also one first place in the junior French poem category for her verse about the day-to-day life of a soldier.

She said it’s important to remember not only the battles soldiers fought in, but also the daily life experience of people at war.

“It’s important to remember them,” the nine-year-old said. “If they didn’t fight, we might not be a good country like this.”

Tellier said students at RogerSaint-Denis learned a lot from the experience because the lessons reached out of the classroom and into their lives.

“Some of them spoke to their parents about Remembrance Day and found out they had a relative who fought (in a) war or a neighbour who went to Afghanistan,” she said.

a world that extends beyond the confines of their individualistic aspirations, including that to create “the perfect child,” a modern ideology that plagues most mothers, as highlighted in CBC’s The Motherload.

I’ve been a stay-at-home mother for nine years. Yes, I’ve been running a business and piecing together not-soperfect childcare arrangements and writing during naps. But at the end of the day, I have been home for nine years, with children as my primary focus.

And maybe I resent it a bit. And maybe I resent all the conservatives – including myself a few years ago -- that suggest kids can’t thrive in daycare or that nothing can replace mom.

I love my children and I feel blessed to have them.

But as they age – and especially now I have a daughter – I want them to know and understand that mom can be a powerhouse. I want them to respect my time and my

The joke’s on the voters

W

inston Churchill once remarked that democracy is the worst form of government ... except for all the others.

The superiority of democracy as a system of government rests on the bedrock of freely held elections, which allow anyone to put their name forward as a candidate, whatever their race, creed, sex or religion or point of view.

In Canada, anyone can grow up to run in a municipal, provincial or federal election. But sometimes they shouldn’t. Case in point, Ottawa’s upcoming municipal election. Every four years, Elections Ottawa takes in a flood of applications from those wishing to run as trustees, councillors or as mayor.

During the 2010 municipal election, 20 candidates put their names forward to run as mayor, which is wonderful, so long as all of them are legitimate candidates, not one-issue wonders, hoping to use the campaign trail as an opportunity to highlight their cause du jour. Even worse, some candidates decide to enter the race as “a joke,” having no serious expectation or even interest of winning the election.

We’re only about a month into the nine-month election campaign trail, but we’ve already come

across one. George Marko, now running for councillor of Gloucester-Southgate, who now says he is going to take the campaign seriously, but originally registered as a “joke.”

Joke candidates are at best an amusing distraction and at worst an opportunity to muddy the waters for the electorate, who, for the most part, would prefer to focus their limited time and attention on the platforms of legitimate candidates.

It only costs $100 to $200 and a few minutes of time filling out form at the city services desk to qualify someone to run as trustee, councillor or mayor.

On the other hand, the electorate is stuck with these joke and one-issue candidates for a year, enduring their presence in dozens of debates, all-candidates meetings, radio interviews and the election coverage provided by the media.

Instead of registering as a candidate, we would suggest one-issue candidates find a more productive use for their time and their money, perhaps as donations to a charitable cause, or as a campaign contribution for a legitimate candidate who supports their cause.

We should put up a sign: “Wanted: municipal representatives. Only serious candidates need apply.”

Can you ban smoking if it isn’t?

L

ife conspires to make itself more complicated. For example: just when society had drastically reduced the number of people who smoke, just when millions of people had gone successfully through the agony of quitting – well, along comes someone with an invention that says people can smoke again without the risks of actually smoking.

This is the electronic cigarette, getting more and more publicity every day. Last week e-cigarettes were smoked on the Golden Globes telecast. So disturbed were a number of U.S. senators that they sent out a letter blasting the organizers for glamourizing smoking. People are taking this seriously.

It is a strange thing to become a public policy issue – a battery operated thingy that draws steam through a fluid cartridge that could contain nicotine, but also could taste like chocolate or just about any other flavour.

There’s no smoke, just steam. It’s pretend smoking – a Wii cigarette – yet people are up in arms about it.

You can sort of see why. It’s estimated that one third of smokers have tried e-cigarettes, and eight per cent of the population generally. Here, electronic cigarette booths are cropping up in shopping centres and people

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town are stopping to have a look. So we know that the things have the potential to be popular.

We just don’t know how popular and whether they’re harmful or not.

That’s why the debates about whether to keep the smoking of e-cigarettes out of public places are so peculiar.

The city of Chicago has already moved to do this. Yet there are those who say that the city of Chicago is working against something that may help people quit smoking real cigarettes.

Because that’s one of the arguments in favour of e-cigarettes – that they will help people give up smoking more effectively than patches, nicotine gum and the rest of the stop-smoking apparatus. Meanwhile, there is no second-hand smoke to bother people in

the vicinity. So banning e-cigarettes in public places would be like banning soup, the argument goes.

The counter-argument – and this is what must make city councillors’ brains hurt – is that the smoking of e-cigarettes will eventually lead to the smoking of real cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are a kind of gateway drug, in other words. We’ve heard that argument in relation to other substances and it is a persuasive one.

In the jargon, what critics are saying is that allowing e-cigarettes to be smoked in public places will “re-normalize” smoking.

Over the past decades, smoking has been made abnormal: the percentage of people who smoke has declined dramatically. It is about 20 per cent now in this country. It was 27 per cent 15 years ago, and a whopping 61 per cent 50 years ago.

Some of that change happened because cigarettes became very expensive. Some of it happened because people just smartened up.

But some of it happened because smoking was no longer normal – you didn’t light up in someone’s dining room anymore; you didn’t light up in the movies or on an airplane; you didn’t light up in a shopping centre; you didn’t light up at work, unless you stepped

out onto the street. That didn’t feel normal either.

Will all those gains be lost because you can now smoke something that looks like a cigarette but isn’t and doesn’t in fact emit smoke? Perhaps it depends on how normal it looks.

The e-cigarette is, according to one manufacturer, “an integrated structure made up of a cartridge, an atomization chamber, a smart chip controller and a built-in lithium battery.”

That seems weird.

But then, weirdness has never been an absolute deterrent. Talking to yourself on the street looked weird, until people got used to the look of cellphones.

You don’t want to be a city councillor when this one comes around. Are you saving the public or just banning weirdness?

Canada Post’s numbers misleading To the editor:

Re: “Group mailboxes pose downtown dilemma,” KourierStandard, Jan. 9.

My name is Peter Denley and I am a full-time union representative with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. I delivered mail in Sault Ste. Marie from 1975 until 2007 then came to work in Ottawa in January 2008.

Our office represents the Canada Post workers in Ottawa and 34 other locals across Ontario.

I just wanted to let you know I thought the article Laura Mueller wrote was well researched and explored many of the very real problems and issues with Canada Post’s hasty and illconceived decision to eliminate door-to-door delivery to urban addresses in Canada.

I am pleased you took the time to conduct some really good “investigative journalism”, something that’s sadly lacking these days.

The only factual error, and it’s not your fault, is in the infor-

mation in the second paragraph about only one third of the addresses in Canada getting “to the door” delivery.

This number has been circulated by Canada Post and is totally inaccurate.

A story appearing on the Radio Canada International website provides the correct figures: rcinet.ca/en/2013/12/12/ canada-posts-sales-pitch-tailored-to-justify-cuts. Once you review the article you can see that, at present, only 25 per cent of households in Canada are forced to accept mail delivery to a community mail box.

Canada Post’s statistic that one third of addresses in Canada receive to-the-door delivery does not include the people who receive their mail from a lobby box in apartment buildings, which any reasonable person would categorize as “to-thedoor” delivery. Simply including that cohort raises the percentage to 58 per cent.

Add in people who get mail at rural mailboxes at the end of their driveway and people

who elect to take delivery at post office boxes as their “one free means” of delivery and the percentage of persons getting to-the-door delivery (or delivery where they choose as in PO boxes) soars to 75 per cent. One must wonder why Canada Post is publishing a misleading figure, except to propagate a view that “It’s time the remaining one third of households stopped getting off lucky and had a reduction in service as well.”

A review of the financial reality of Canada Post contained in the remainder of the article I attached demonstrates that these drastic service cuts are unnecessary given the profits being enjoyed by the corporation every year of the last 18 except for 2011, when they locked out their workers and the chickens came home to roost in the Public Service Alliance of Canada pay equity settlement, both onetime events.

The biased and inaccurate Conference Board report (that Canada Post is relying on to justify their decisions and attendant

cuts and postage rate increase) predicted a loss of $212 million in 2012 when in fact the corporation made $98 million.

Even the volume reduction predictions in the report are warped by the comparison of volumes just after the lockout ended (when the system was overflowing with backlogged mail) with the same period of normal volumes a year later.

At the end of the day service expansion into, for example, postal banking is what is needed, not cuts. Canadians deserve a right to be consulted on these significant changes in an open and public forum-it seems from Ms. Loisier’s quote, however, that Canada Post doesn’t even want to consult with the public in open meetings on how and where the community mail boxes are going to be erected, let alone discuss the need.

Thanks again for a great piece.

Lions take bite out of winter with annual carnival Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club

Community – The Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club will roll out winter fun for neighbours of all ages at their winter carnival on Saturday, Feb. 8 at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, 170 Castlefrank Rd. in Glen Cairn.

As they have been doing for many years, the Lions will provide activities all day for families in Kanata and the west end.

The day will begin at 8:30 a.m. with a hearty pancake, sausage and egg breakfast, available until 11:30 a.m. for $4 for adults, $1 for children or $10 for families.

The breakfast gives neighbours a great opportunity to sit down together prior to other carnival events, including the always popular sleigh rides from 9 a.m. to noon and Little Ray’s

Reptile Zoo from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.

“We aim to give folks what they like”, said Lion Todd Sloan. “The breakfast, the sleigh rides and the creepy critters are a big attraction.

It’s gratifying to see the smiles on all those little faces.”

The day will also feature door prizes, hockey games, free hot chocolate provided by the 1st Glen Cairn Scouts and a bake sale by the Haven Youth Centre.

“We’re holding our February euchre on Saturday night, as well”, said Sloan. “We find it’s a natural event to round off the day for the older participants. Special door prizes and a snack for $10 - not bad.”

Cash in on a TFSA News - The Tax-Free Savings Account has been called the most important savings option since the 1950s launch of registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs).

Every Canadian over the age of 18 is eligible to save at least $5,500 a year in a TFSA and the investments held within the TFSA grow on a tax-free basis.

TFSA withdrawals can be

made at any time for any reason – and the withdrawn money is tax-free.

The amount you can contribute in a given year is defined by the following formula: Maximum contribution equals TFSA dollar limit for the year plus TFSA withdrawals from last year plus unused TFSA room from last year The TFSA dollar limit has been $5,000 in each of 2009-

2012 and $5,500 for 2013 but is subject to indexation.

Thus, if you had to make a TFSA withdrawal last year, your TFSA room this year will be restored to reflect that withdrawal.

Furthermore, all the contribution room you don’t use right away accumulates year after year so you can use it any time you choose.

Contributions to investments held in a TFSA do not affect RRSP contribution room.

Trash the ash A five-step new year’s plan to quit smoking and win a car Driven to Quit Challenge

Community - For many, the new year represents a fresh start, and with nearly 16 per cent of people in Ontario being smokers and tobacco users accounting for 30 per cent of all cancer deaths in Canada, a popular resolution may be to quit smoking.

“We are thrilled to be able to motivate and reward individuals who quit smoking through The Driven to Quit Challenge,” says John Atkinson, director of tobacco control and cancer prevention at the Canadian Cancer Society.

“Quitting smoking is one of the most difficult things a person can face.

In addition to providing a car and cash prizes, we know that people can be successful in quitting by making a plan and getting support through accessible resources such as our Smokers’ Helpline.

We hope that Ontarians who smoke take the opportunity to quit to improve their health and make 2014 their healthiest year yet.”

Follow this five-step plan to

help ensure that by next year, you’ll be celebrating a smokefree anniversary.

• Know your reasons for quitting. While winning a car is a great reason to quit, there are probably many others.

Write down your reasons for quitting smoking and keep that list with you so you can refer to it often. A visual reminder just might be the encouragement you need to keep those temptations at bay. Try selecting a few of the most important reasons on your list and post them around the places you used to smoke.

• Prepare for cravings and withdrawal symptoms. No matter how good your reasons are for quitting, you may still find yourself craving a cigarette. The best way to defeat temptation is to avoid it, so change your routine and stay away from the places you used to smoke. Avoid events with a lot of other smokers by suggesting alternative social gatherings that don’t emphasize smoking.

• When withdrawal symptoms occur, remind yourself that they will only last a few

days. You can manage withdrawal symptoms with some preparation.

• Get a little help from your friends. Research shows that people are more successful in changing their behaviour when they have a support system.

Ask a friend or family member to be your support buddy. You can sign up for The Driven to Quit Challenge with your buddy and can also call Smokers’ Helpline to speak to a Quit Coach at 1-877-513-5333.

• Don’t give up. If you have a slip, don’t beat yourself up about it and most importantly, don’t give up! Quitting smoking is hard work and often takes many attempts.

• Reward yourself. Plan special celebrations on the anniversary of your quit date, but you don’t have to wait a year to treat yourself. Smaller, more frequent rewards prove to be just as beneficial. Made it to one week smoke-free?

Treat yourself to a massage. One month? Go out with your support buddy for a nice meal.

While winning a car or cash are huge rewards for your efforts, the biggest reward of all is the health and quality of life you will gain, your body will thank you.

For your chance to win a grand prize of a new car, register for the Driven to Quit Challenge and stay smoke-free for the month of March 2014.

Perfect Wedding a tonic forLine the winter blues 4th Arts - It is just about impossible to talk about Kanata Theatre’s next show without spoiling its most important plot twist. Suffice it to say the prospective groom of the wedding in the title wakes up on the big day with two unwelcome surprises.

The first is a giant hangover.

The second?

You will just have to come to the show to find out.

Needless to say the wedding in Robin Hawdon’s Perfect Wedding will only be perfect after a few hilarious missteps get ironed out. The playwright negotiates these events with the skill one expects of the best of English farceurs. His previous work includes Don’t Dress For Dinner, the adaptation of a play by Marc Canoletti, one of the most successful farces of recent times.

In Kanata Theatre’s production of Perfect Wedding five of the six characters are new to the local company’s main stage. Tara Sisson (Julie) had major roles in Kanata’s The Taming of the Shrew and Maggie’s Getting Married.

Rachel Davies (who plays Rachel, oddly enough) was in Kanata Theatre’s holiday play Seussical, the Musical, but she and everyone else is brand new to the main stage.

That doesn’t mean they come without experience.

mound to begin the slide, they gave a good push and away we went like a bullet, landing in the soft snow at the bottom.

I was immediately suspicious of Emerson and Cecil, after they had whispered, grinned from ear to ear, and invited Marguirite to have a slide.

“Don’t worry about your coat. You can sit on this big

piece of cardboard, and you won’t even touch the snow.”

Well, it didn’t take long for Marguirite to scurry up the mound, grab a hold of the upper board of the rink fence and prepare herself to sit down on the cardboard the boys had put in place.

Well, that’s when all heck broke loose.

and hang it on a hook at the back of the room just like everyone else.

We couldn’t wait for recess. The half hour would be spent sliding down the mound of snow in the school yard, and Miss Crosby had warned the senior fourth boys that everyone got a turn or they would suffer her wrath when recess was over.

It didn’t take long for us girls to get on our snow suits, galoshes, hats and mitts, and the boys into their heavy jackets and gum rubbers, let me tell you. Just before we were heading out, Miss Crosby caught Marguirite by her sleeve and told her she had had a note

enough to give us lots of fun at recess, sliding down on our bottoms, or on openedup flat cardboard boxes the boys had hauled from Briscoe’s General Store.

That day wasn’t any different from any other inside the one-room school house. Miss Crosby ran the place like an army general, and even though Marguirite wanted to keep her coat on, Miss Crosby wasn’t having any of that nonsense.

“It’ll smell of cow byre,” Marguirite said, glaring at the boys who had to milk cows before coming to school.

But one look from Miss Crosby told her to get it off

from her Mother, and there was no sliding down the hill for her in her white fur coat.

Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way.

Both Emerson and Cecil were standing at the top, and as soon as anyone fell to the

t was the year Marguirite appeared at the Northcote School all decked out in a white fur coat. She vowed it was the most expensive fur you could buy, but my brother Emerson and his best friend Cecil, after examining it closely, said it was nothing but plain rabbit.

The very thought of the number of precious little rabbits, which I loved with a passion, that had lost their fur to make that coat, was enough to turn my stomach.

And certainly didn’t do anything to make me like Marguirite any better.

It was also the year we had more snow than anyone could remember.

It was banked all around the school yard. At the back, where a board fence separated the yard from the open-air rink, the senior fourth boys had piled the snow high, creating a slide that only went downwards about two metres, but it was

Just as she was lowering herself, Cecil grabbed the box tossing it aside, Emerson gave Marguirite a mighty push, and down she went, fur coat and all, to the bottom of the mound, screaming all the way.

When she stopped, the coat was up around her neck, the fur hat was nowhere to be seen, and that day she had on blue fleeced lined bloomers like the rest of us.

She went roaring into the school like someone possessed.

By the time recess was over, Miss Crosby had the coat draped over a chair by the stove, and Cecil had brought in the white fur hat and handed it to the teacher saying with a voice like sugar, “Marguirite must have lost this.”

Well, that was the end of the white fur coat at the Northcote School.

Joyce said it didn’t look any the worse for wear when Marguirite came prancing into the United Church the next Sunday wearing it, and the hat.

Even if Miss Crosby knew what had happened outside at the snow slide, she said nothing.

My older and wiser sister Audrey said Miss Crosby probably wasn’t any more impressed with the white fur coat than were the rest of us at the Northcote School.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

HELPING SENIORS TO PREVENT FALLS Falls lead to 70 deaths of Ottawa seniors every year. Many are preventable. The proportion of Ottawa’s population aged 65 years or older is currently 14 per cent (129,000), and is expected to increase to 21 per cent (266,000) over the next 20 years, with the fastest growth anticipated in the 85+ age group.

Ottawa Public Health is working with other agencies to provide health education sessions on falls prevention. Seniors should exercise, keep their homes clear of obstacles and have sufficient calcium. Residents can contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-5806744 for more information. Taking an active role in preventing falls will keep seniors independent and improve their quality of life.

SWIMMING & PARKING at the Rec Complex With the Goulbourn Recreation Pool closed for renovations, the use of the pool at the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata has been very heavy. Time is needed for swim clubs and for 600 people from the Goulbourn pool doing swim lessons. This has an impact on availability of lanes for members and crowding during public swims.

During the 1-3 pm weekend swim times, the pool has been at its capacity of 350 with others lined up waiting until someone leaves.

This just shows how much we needed this pool.

Of course, with that many in the building, parking has been at a premium. If the lot is full, you can park on both sides of the street for up to 3 hours. The City is discussing with Blackberry the possible use of their lot during evenings and weekends. Once the Park and Ride is built next to the Rec Complex (budgeted for construction this year), that will provide extra parking during evenings and weekends.

For early morning swimmers there is also some good news. Early bird swims starting at 6:00 am have been added on Tuesday and Thursday, along with the existing Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning swims. The leisure pool has also been opened at 6:00 am to help alleviate some of the volume for lane swimmers.

With the building contractors working overnight from 11 pm to 5 am to deal with outstanding items, the pool is under very heavy use. Once the Goulbourn Pool is reopened and the overnight work completed, then the pool will be running as originally planned. My thanks to the staff who’ve been working long hours to meet these challenges and provide a swim experience to so many.

Seeking Directors for KDH Board Kemptville District Hospital (www.kdh.on.ca) is Accredited with Exemplary Standing, the highest ranking bestowed by Accreditation Canada.

Committed to building healthier communities, Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) consistently ranks among the top hospitals in Ontario for both patient and employee satisfaction. We are distinct within the provincial health system as a model for hospital-led integrated health services. We provide primary care management services, acute care hospital services, and advanced orthopaedic care, and we pride ourselves on being a good partner with other providers in the Champlain LHIN. KDH is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 12 volunteer members and 5 ex-officio members.

The volunteer members have diverse backgrounds and bring a variety of skills and areas of expertise to the team. A Board member can expect to spend a minimum of 5-6 hours per month attending meetings and performing committee work.

The Board is looking for candidates for the position of Director with a commitment to community service and a willingness to learn and work in a team atmosphere. Candidates must be interested in helping KDH build healthier communities; residence in the municipality is not a requirement. Previous experience on a non-profit board, especially in a health or social-service sector, and skills in government relations and/or a strong financial background are preferred but not essential.

To apply, please send a letter of interest with CV to lleclair@kdh.on.ca before February 10, indicating “Board of Directors recruitment” in the subject line.

News - An Ottawa choir that celebrates the music of Canada’s East Coast will perform a concert this weekend in honour of one of the passengers killed in the collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via Rail train last fall.

Atlantic Voices will hold a concert at Centretown United Church, 507 Bank St., on Jan. 26, running from 3 to 5 p.m. Pre-show entertainment will be provided by the Fumblin’ Fingers band at 2:15 p.m. and a silent auction will also take place.

The Song Lives On concert, which pays tribute to some of the greatest Atlantic Canadian musicians who have passed away, will this year be held in memory of Michael Bleakney, a former member of the choir, who was killed in the September crash.

“Gosh I miss him a lot,” Denise Arsenault, a past president of Atlantic Voices, said in an email..

“When I was president of the choir the first time I was taking over at a very pivotal point in our evolution because we were switching music directors and Mike was probably one of my biggest supporters.

“He was always ready with an encouraging word or some sage advice and usually found a way to help make peace with any difficult decisions I had to make,” she added. “He was such an important part of our group.”

Bleakney, a 57-year-old engineer with the federal government, sang both bass and tenor and was a member of the choir since it formed 12 years ago.

For his final two seasons, Bleakney, a former Barrhaven resident, sang in the tenor section.

“I don’t know if any of the pieces in this concert were particular favourites of his, but Mike generally liked more challenging pieces,” said Arsenault.

“I think Mike was someone who liked to be constantly challenging himself, in life and work.”

Atlantic Voices performs two major concerts every year, in January and May, as well as several outreach concerts at retirement homes and other events, all free of charge.

The 64-member group, which has several performers who play musical instruments, has singers from across the city including Kanata, Stittsville and Barrhaven.

The concert will feature music by Stompin’ Tom Connors, Raylene and John Morris Rankin, John Allan Cameron, Stan Rogers, Gene MacLellan, Denny Doherty of the Mamas and the Papas and Rita MacNeil.

Tickets for the event are $15 in advance until Jan. 24, $20 at the door and free for children 12 and under, and can be purchased by calling 613-722-9240 or at the Leading Note, 360 Elgin St.

Colorectal cancer is preventable News - Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Canada.

Last year alone, 9,000 Canadians died from the disease and an estimated 23,000 will be diagnosed this year. More

tragic, perhaps, is that colorectal or colon cancer is preventable. Because many people do not experience any symptoms in the early stages, appropriate screening is critical.

“Colorectal cancer is a com-

pletely preventable disease if we screen for it,” said gastroenterologist, Dr. Mario Castelli. “And it gets more common as we get older, so that’s why the recommendation is, usually starting at the age of 50, that

everyone should be screened.”

While there are a variety of screening tests available, preparing for them can be inconvenient since fasting, diet restrictions or the collection of stool samples is required. Now,

however, a new and simple blood test, known as Cologic, offers access to a quicker and simpler screening process.

“This is a much simpler test,” Dr. Castelli said. “You just go to the laboratory without any preparation, have a blood sample drawn and the results go to your physician within a few days.”

Experts suggest that pre-

ventative screening and early detection can save lives; therefore, it is recommended that adults speak with their family physician about the right time to get screened for colorectal cancer.

More information can be found at www.cologiclabtest. com.

Aries, your tendency to say what you feel can come across as being impolite. Many, however, appreciate your honesty and unwillingness to mince words.

A loved one needs some help, Taurus. This week you will have to figure out a way to assist this person and still tend to your own pressing affairs.

Gemini, focus your energy on someone important. This may be a friend, family member or even a romantic partner. Brush up on your relationship skills in the meantime.

You have a natural charm that immediately puts others at ease, Cancer. If you are wooing a client, they will be putty in your hands.

Just open your mouth, and you will win them over.

Leo, your stubbornness comes into play this week, and it could cause a rift with friends or colleagues. Try to see their point of view, and put off any serious disputes for another time.

Virgo, spend a little time this week plotting your next getaway.

You tend to be happiest when you’re on the move and exploring.

Everyone needs an escape now and then.

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!

Enjoy some local culture this week, Libra. Take in a concert, an art show or a theater performance. Just enjoy anything that will educate and entertain at the same time.

Scorpio, you may find that someone you thought was weak is much stronger than they appeared. This person may not need as much of your assistance as you initally thought.

Sagittarius, analyze any problems you may have by breaking them down into smaller tasks. Then you can tackle one thing at a time and come to a happy resolution.

Capricorn, your children or the youngsters in your life will be the center of your universe this week. Make the most of this time and enjoy kids’ carefree natures.

This week may be a little boring, Aquarius. Make the most of your down time, as you could use a few slow days to recharge your batteries and plan your next move.

You are bubbling with energy, Pisces. Make the most of this energy by exercising, partying or taking a day trip.
