The two-storey addition will feature 24 classrooms and a gymnasium. Grades 7 and 8 students will use the cafeteria, library and auditorium within the main building.

There will also be a separate drop-off and pick-up area for the younger students.

The same number of parking spaces will be available in the back lot, said Wilkinson.

More than a fresh coat of paint Bathroom reno aims to foster sense of positive self-image Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - It’s more than just a bathroom renovation. It’s a daily reminder aimed at boosting positive self-image and worth.

A group of grades 9 and 10 students at Holy Trinity Catholic High School overhauled the third floor women’s restroom in the east wing of the school.

The walls received bright new coats of paint in a vivid green and a milk-chocolate brown. The stalls, now a bright purple, were painstakingly covered in two-layered stencils. A mural of a greenscape greets people as they enter the bathroom and gives the space a feeling of calm. Mirrors abound on the walls, as do positive, spirit-boosting quotes from pop culture icons.

“Love me or hate me. I promise it won’t make or break me,” reads one

by Lil Wayne.

“I’m beautiful in my way, ’cause God makes no mistakes. I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way,” reads another by Lady GaGa. “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone,” reads a third, by Audrey Hepburn.

Bathrooms can often become a sad place, a scary place. They are a place where people are bullied; where they go to cry, to cut, to feel alone and isolated, said Laura Despault, a grades 9 and 10 teacher.

Despault, a member of the safe schools committee, wanted to change the feeling of the bathroom to a place of inspiration, motivation and positive images.

“Positive body image is being confident in who you are and being comfortable with yourself,” said Grade 10 student and renovation volunteer Alycia Baxter. “I think this bathroom really helps that.”

Society and the media often push unrealistic expectations and standards on females, said Grade 9 student Lauren Chiasson. They manipulate body images, presenting fake and often dangerous and unhealthy ideals of what women should look like.

“I found it was a real inspirational cause,” said Lauren, who helped redo the bathroom. “It’s uplifting. It lifts your spirits. I really wanted that for all

the girls.

“You know you’re going to make the girls at school feel better, and you feel better.”

“You feel like you can be yourself,” said Caitlyn Perron, a Grade 9 student who also took part in the renovations.

Around 50 grades 9 and 10 students volunteered their time to revamp the bathroom, often trudging into school on snow days and staying late after class to paint and decorate.

Finally after three hard months of work, the bathroom was given the grand-opening treatment on Thursday, Jan. 23, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and walk-through for students and staff.

The bathroom was quickly filled with people trying to get a glimpse of all the changes. Many could be overheard saying how beautiful it was.

“When kids do stuff and participate, they feel a greater sense of belonging,” said vice-principal Ed Baker. “We hope when they go in, the kids will have a greater sense of selfrespect.”

Klondike will not become one-way: councillor Design work on new road to start this year, construction in 2015 Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Klondike Road will not become a temporary oneway street, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson at her monthly Town Hall meetings on Jan. 21.

City staff recommended turning the rural road, from March to Sandhill roads, into a one-way street to deal with unsafe walking conditions until Klondike can be upgraded to an urban street.

Walking along Klondike from Sandhill, where the sidewalk ends, to March Road, can be treacherous for pedestrians, Wilkinson said at the public meeting. She added her office had received a number

of complaints about the lack of safety on the road.

The rural road – which has a steep hill, narrow bridge and no sidewalks – is set to be upgraded to an urban street starting in 2015 for $1.5 million, with design work to take place in 2014 for $310,000, said Wilkinson.

Because Klondike was an existing road, the developer of the north Kanata subdivision didn’t have to upgrade the road when houses were built, she said.

The funds to rebuild the road, however, will come from the city’s development charges.

Wilkinson asked staff for a pathway for pedestrians to use to access the shopping mall

on the other side of Klondike in the meantime. The city set aside $60,000 for temporary measures on Klondike, but staff said a pathway would require a bridge and that would be too expensive for an interim solution, said Wilkinson.

After two years of discussing the problems with city staff, they came back with a recommendation to turn Klondike into a one-way.

Many residents expressed concern at a public meeting in December, saying that it would force more traffic onto residential roads in the community.

Almost 1,000 vehicles use the small stretch of road every day in both directions, said Wilkinson.

Because of the unsafe conditions that would create, nothing will be done in the meantime to alleviate pedestrian concerns on Klondike, said the councillor, except that

children who are within walking distance of two schools, and would have to use Klondike to get there, are being bussed until the road is upgraded. “It will not be a one way. It causes too many problems,� she said. “It’ll just cause too much chaos.�

Design work to upgrade Klondike will take place this year, and Wilkinson said she will bring the concept plans to a future meeting for residents to discuss. Once that process

*

is complete, construction is scheduled for 2015.

TOWN HALL UPDATES

A Toronto builder is hoping to install a one-storey commercial plaza at 401 March Rd., containing a Tim Horton’s and A&W with drive-thrus, a gas station with a car wash and a commercial building holding a medical facility.

The proposal was created for Starbank Development Corporation and the triangular

parcel of land is around 1.3 hectares in size, bordered by March and Station roads, as well as the railway line.

The comment period is open to the public. More information can be found at ottawa.ca/devapps.

Wilkinson has moved her monthly Town Hall meetings to Tuesday evenings, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata, from Monday nights at the Mlacak Centre. The next meeting will be held on Feb. 25.

News - Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson is looking for residents in her ward who want to tackle transportation issues.

Wilkinson is hoping at least eight people will step forward to sit on the Kanata North sustainable transportation committee.

The team would look at any and all aspects surrounding transportation, providing input to city staff on a number of topics, such as parking, walking, cycling and driving.

“Any kind of issue to do with any kind of transportation,” said Wilkinson.

Where and how to connect pathways and where sidewalks are needed are two of the is-

MARIANNE WILKINSON sues Wilkinson would like to see tackled in the beginning.

“So we can tell city staff what needs to be done, instead of having staff tell us,” she said.

Wilkinson said she’d like

to get the committee up and running within the next two months. Anyone interested in applying is invited to contact her office at 613-5802474 or by email at marianne. wilkinson@ottawa.ca.

Coming up with a significant amount of cash in order to make a lump sum contribution to your RRSP can be difficult. Financial planning experts suggest that monthly instalments, withdrawn automatically from your bank account, may be less financially painful and give you additional advantages.

According to Aurele Courcelles, the director of tax and estate planning at Investors Group, monthly pre-authorized contributions allow you to take advantage of the rises and falls of the stock market through dollar-cost averaging while enforcing the personal savings discipline we wish we had on our own.

“Coming up with a significant chunk of cash before the RRSP contribution deadline can be difficult,” says Courcelles. “Setting up a regular payment plan with an amount that you can afford will not only ensure that the money makes its way into your retirement savings, but also that you benefit from the compound investment returns.”

More information on this topic is available from the Investors Group, or contact a financial advisor to get specific advice about your circumstances.

Miller said the gallery is looking forward to hosting a new event.

Arts - A group of Ottawa sculptors will descend on the Kanata Civic Art Gallery for a six-day exhibit celebrating three-dimensional artwork.

Members of the National Capital Network of Sculptors will take part in the “Best of Show” exhibit, which opens Feb. 4 and runs to Feb. 9 at the Kanata gallery, located at 2500 Campeau Dr. in the Mlacak Centre.

“It’s going to be pretty neat, really very different,” said Judi Miller, a member of the civic art gallery. “It’s going to be a totally different looking place.”

Patrick Imai, vice-president of the network of sculptors, was also recently juried in to the Kanata gallery.

“We’re really excited to have him,” said Miller, who lives in Beaverbrook and uses a mixture of painting and embroidery to create her art.

“That’s one thing we seem to be lacking in our gallery.

“It’s something really different.”

Imai, who lives in Orléans, said the sculpture exhibit will feature a variety of mediums, including clay, wood, ceramics, mixed media, stone, metal, casting and bronze work.

“It’s all across the board, all different themes or types of work,” he said.

Imai began creating carvings as a youth, first whittling wood and now working with stone. In between he’s also created pieces with glass.

“It’s an expression of who I am. It’s a part of me,” he said. “I’ve been carving all my life.

I used to whittle; I remember being about 10 or 11 (years old) getting my first pocket knife.”

Imai joined the National Capital Network of Sculptors – which boasts around 65 member artists from across the city and beyond – in 2010 to meet other artists and to learn how they use different materials.

“It’s an opportunity to meet with other artists, see how they progress, how they approach it and how they work the materials,” he said.

Embrace the Olympic spirit

T

he Winter Olympics will slip, slide and jump onto our TV screens starting next week.

Team Canada is ready, including a number of local athletes. And no matter the time of day, we can expect to see people across Canada pause when our hockey teams hit the ice. It’s a chance to get patriotic and cheer on our athletes, even if they are half a world away in Sochi, Russia.

The Games are an opportunity to celebrate the best of us, even if some would like to cloud the events with violence and intolerance.

The athletes come together to compete. They may represent a wide diversity of nations, but they are all human, and the Games should be a celebration of humanity: what our species is capable of accomplishing when taking on incredible physical challenge.

In that way, the Olympics should allow us to rise above such abstract constructions as nations and states. All people should be able to feel a sense of elation when an athlete goes further or faster than anyone before, no matter what flag they may wave.

Unfortunately, the Games in Sochi will take place under the cloud of intolerance, namely the threat of terrorism and draconian laws in Russia dealing with homosexuality. The would-be terrorists should know

that while they may make headlines if they strike in Sochi, they will not make any friends anywhere on Earth if they do so.

Athletes and other visitors to Sochi who may be gay or openly support gay rights have received some assurance that they won’t be mistreated. Misguided and prejudicial opinions won’t be changed overnight, but we can hope that the Russian people will learn that GLBTTQ community is no threat to anyone.

The Olympic Games have long been a beacon of human diversity, such as the accomplishments of African American Jesse Owens in Berlin in 1936, winning four gold medals during a Games Hitler had hoped would be a celebration of his twisted ideology.

Loveable underdogs like British ski jumper Eddie “The Eagle� Edwards and the Jamaican bobsled team at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary showed the world about courage in the face of adversity and the determination to compete despite the odds.

In this light, we should all strive to ensure that the athletes and their incredible efforts are what we remember about two weeks in Sochi. If we celebrate their accomplishments alongside the Olympic spirit, hopefully the world will bring a valuable, powerful message to the people of Russia during the month of February.

Turning personal trials, tribulations into teachable moments

T

here are lots of teachable moments in the headlines. If you want your kids to learn something about addictions and their power, the newspaper is the place to look.

Here is Father Joseph LeClair, once a popular and respected figure in Ottawa, pleading guilty to defrauding his church of more than $100,000, because he needed the money to finance a gambling addiction. Court was told that a drinking problem was also a factor.

Here is the flushed face of the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, emerging once again in videos. After vowing to swear off the booze in November and managing to stay out of trouble for a couple of months, Ford catches the all-seeing eye of someone’s camera phone while engaged in conversation that many find offensive. He admits he was drinking again.

The lesson is not that Rob Ford and Father Joe are the same. Clearly they are not. Father Joe is a man who helped countless people and stumbled because of weakness; Ford is a man who mostly just stumbled. But what unites them is that neither was able to fight off the demon of addiction.

The teachable thing is that, on the surface, both should have been able to. We look at

We don’t see a hard-working politician.

We don’t see a priest.

We don’t think of people who are successful. We don’t think of people who are loved.

Father Joe almost single-handedly brought a dying parish back to life. He worked like crazy on behalf of his parishioners and they loved him. Why would a man who is both loved and successful need to drink like that, need to gamble like that?

highest offices in this country. He had influence in the corridors of power and adulation from a sizeable section of the electorate.

He looked like he could be re-elected. Why would he throw that away?

Being loved and successful didn’t keep the demon away from either man.

We think of people who become addicts as people who are lost, who have no purpose in life, nothing to believe in.

Yet Father Joe’s every waking, non-gambling moment was full of purpose, full of belief. You could not help as many people as he did without a strong belief, a strong sense of purpose.

Ford, in his way, had a purpose. He said he wanted to cut their taxes, make their lives better. He answered their phone calls.

His constituents treated him like a rock star whenever he appeared. Yet he couldn’t keep from destroying his career and with it everything he believed in.

That’s some powerful stuff that makes you do all that to yourself.

And that’s what you teach your kids.

Both men have a chance to drive the lesson home by redeeming themselves. Father Joe, because he has owned up to his wrongdoing, is a lot closer to redemption than the mayor

of Toronto is. But Ford will get his chance too. A famous person who can demonstrate a good life after addiction is doing society a big favour.

The rest of us can help too, not just by exhibiting the usual personal kindness, but also by not making it too easy for others to follow along the same tortured road. That doesn’t just mean stopping the spread of casinos – although heaven knows that would help. It also means making an effort to understand what addiction is, how it happens and how to prevent it. Then we can teach all that to our kids.

I can only imagine there’s even more truth to that when it’s -25 C. Thirty years ago, scientist Roger S. Ulrich initiated a series of studies to find out how our brains react to “vegetation-rich scenes of nature,” write Alan C Logan and Eva M. Selhub, the

Countless studies over the past decade have linked outdoor recreation with positive health benefits. Did you know people who exercise outside actually push themselves harder than those who workout in a gym? I can only imagine there’s even more truth to that when it’s -25 C. And, despite what we think when we’re searching for those itchy balaclavas, the cold is actually good for us. According to a recent Dutch study, even turning down our indoor thermostats can help us lose weight because we actually burn calories as our bodies work to adjust to the cold.

Exercise on its own has been shown to reduce stress and mitigate depression.

Researchers at the University of Calgary and the YMCA are examining this further.

In January, they launched a program to see if they can help teenagers change the chemical and physical makeup of the hippocampus, a part of the brain linked with depression. The researchers theorize that a regimented exercise regime for 16-to-18year-olds over 12 weeks may

Spice up dinner with relish

R0012516043

Lifestyle - Sometimes purchased jerk seasoning or marinades (native to Jamaica) can be quite spicy. This recipe allows you to control the spiciness to your taste with the amount of cayenne pepper. Prepare extra spice rub to use on poultry or meat before grilling. Preparation time: 25 minutes.

Broiling time: six minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Rainbow Trout fillets (about 375 g/12 oz each), halved • 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil • 2 cloves garlic, minced

SPICE RUB

• 5 ml (1 tsp) each ground allspice, pepper, dried thyme leaves and packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cinnamon • 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) cayenne pepper (or to taste) PREPARATION

Apple-carrot relish: In a medium bowl,

February 1st & 2nd, 2014

toss the apple with the lime juice to coat.

Add the carrot, honey, parsley, ginger, salt, pepper and cinnamon, and mix well. Cover the mixture and chill until ready to serve.

Spice rub: In small bowl, combine the allspice, pepper, thyme, sugar, salt, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.

To prepare the fish, place trout pieces, skin side down, in single layer on lightly oiled baking pan. Combine the spice rub, oil and garlic; spread it evenly over top of fillets.

Things that would make Mary happy could fill a book

I

t was unusual for Miss Crosby to break with routine, but that Friday the snow was coming down so heavily, we couldn’t see the barns when we got up in the morning, and that had a lot to do with her changing our usual afternoon school day work.

Parents would be coming with sleighs and cutters to take us home, which in itself was unusual. The weather had to be pretty fierce to warrant a ride to or from the Northcote School!

So Miss Crosby announced after recess, we all could put our books away, keeping out only our grammar notebooks.

We had at least an hour to put in.

Miss Crosby said, to cheer us up on that cold and blustery Friday, we were to write (or in my case, print), all the things we could think of that made us happy. I gathered seeing Marguirite falling flat on her face was not exactly what Miss Crosby had in mind. She

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories also said, we were to take our grammar books home to finish up our lists as homework.

I could see the senior pupils writing with great speed, whereas it took me forever to print my very first line in my scribbler. I had absolutely no trouble coming up with the very first thing that made me happy on a winter’s day.

Father would be coming with the flat-bottom sleigh, I would be sitting in the very front with him, wrapped in the fur blanket he would toss in before leaving the barns.

I would be listening to the sleigh bells hanging around the necks of King and Queen as they plop-plopped through the deep snow.

I thought, back then, that the sleigh bells made the most beautiful sounds in the whole world. I especially liked them at night, driving in our long lane, or coming across the snow-covered Twenty-Acre Field. Often they would lull me to sleep, leaning against Father’s shoulder, and I would feel the utmost contentment and happiness. So sleigh bells headed my list.

The smell of freshly baked bread when I walked in the house after coming from school simply had to go on my list, too. Seeing the high, fat loaves, lined up on the bake table, and knowing I would be able to claim the outside crust off at least one of them,

caused my mouth to water, as I printed homemade bread on my list.

Crawling into a bed that had been made up with fresh sheets taken off the clothes line that day gave me special joy and a great feeling of happiness. I would fall asleep with my nose crushed into the pillow to get the most benefit of the new smell, and wrap the sheet tight around my neck.

The scent would stay with me until my eyes heavily closed.

The next day, the wonderful smell of freshness would be gone, but that night I would have nestled into a sweet happiness of sheer joy.

Listening to my sister’s sweet voice, singing softly at night in bed, brought me special joy. Walking handin-hand with my best friend Velma to the Northcote School – girls did that back then – and knowing in my heart we would be best friends for ever, that brought me joy.

‘I would feel such joy knowing what a clever mother I had’ Continued from page 20

When Mother could take something out of the hand-me-down box sent from Regina

by Aunt Lizzie, like a man’s suit coat, or a once lovely blouse, or a man’s shirt, take it apart and turn into something I could wear to school – for me, brand spanking new – that brought me happiness. I would feel such joy, knowing what a clever Mother I had.

Just having a few pennies tied into the corner of my hanky, tucked in the very back of my washstand drawer, and thinking how rich I was, brought me a special feeling. I would handle it carefully, and one day I would take it into Walker’s Store in Renfrew and perhaps buy new hair ribbons, or walk down to the dime store and buy some butterscotch discs to suck on the way home to the farm.

had done the weekly wash, when I came home from school, I would know that the laundry would have been taken off the line to finish drying in the kitchen. Everything would be stiff as boards. The smells in the kitchen would be of freshness, and outdoors, and homemade soap. I could never explain why just seeing the clean clothes, and inhaling the fresh smell of the frosty outdoors, brought me such happiness, but it did.

I printed until it was bedtime. I would have a lot to share with Miss Crosby on Monday. Maybe I would get a little gold star stuck onto the page of my grammar scribbler.

I went to bed thinking of all the things that could make me happy and I knew then the list would be endless. Even though there was little money for frivolity or luxuries, I had far more to write about than would fit into my grammar book.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body, who, before the By-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the By-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on the 19th day of February 2014.

However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law is passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Should the By-law be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified in the explanatory note that accompanies this Notice.

COMMUNITY

Society prepares for spring growing season

January 24th, 2014 French Catholic Secondary School Proposed The French Catholic Secondary School Board has submitted a site plan proposal for a new school. The site is located immediately east of Iber Road businesses in the Fernbank Community at the north-west intersection of the future north-south arterial road and the future extension of Abbott Street East. The site plan proposes the development of an 8, 086 square meter facility with surface parking for 116 cars and a bus loop.

For more information please contact the City Planner, Tracey Scaramozzino at Tracey.Scaramozzino@ottawa.ca Tree clearing underway at 5831 Hazeldean Road I wanted to advise you that some tree removal work is being undertaken by the developer at 5831 Hazeldean Road. This site is located immediately west of the Fairwinds community with Maple Grove to the north and Hazeldean/Poole Creek to the south of the site.

A future subdivision is planned for this site and it is anticipated that servicing of the land will begin this year.

No Stopping signs to be installed on one side of Hartsmere Drive across from Westwind Elementary Public School Recently, the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA) who operates the school buses to this school was in contact with the City’s Traffic Specialist Department requesting an investigation of the current conditions in place on Hartsmere Drive. They were also requesting a restriction of parking on the south side of Hartsmere Drive in the morning and afternoon.

There were concerns, particularly with the number of cars parked on both sides of Hartsmere Drive in the vicinity of Westwind Elementary Public School. The cars challenge the school buses trying to get into and out of the bus lane safely and making it very difficult for the students to see and be seen in crossing the road safely as well. These stop signs are important for ensuring the safety of the children in the area.

That investigation has been completed with the result to proceed with installing No Stopping signs across from the school, to help alleviate the operational and safety issues observed. The No Stopping will be enforced one hour during the morning (8:30 am – 9:30am) and one hour during the afternoon (3:30pm – 4:30pm), Monday to Friday.

Ice allocations policy Recently I have received many questions as to how ice rentals are allocated. I have provided the information regarding how the City allocates its ice rentals. As your Councillor I will continue to work with the City and the community groups in order to make sure that our community is provided the necessary resources.

Ice allocations are not done by wards; they are done citywide using a policy and formula approved by Council. Specifically for arena ice allocations, a formula is applied to determine a percentage. This formula and percentage was developed in conjunction with the sport organizations and their governing bodies. The basis of the formula for hockey is: Introductory Level = 1.5 hours of ice for every 15 players for 34.4 weeks Intermediate Level = 2.5 hours of ice for every 15 players for 34.4 weeks Advanced Level = 3.0 hours of ice for every 15 players for 34.4 weeks As the City grows, so is the City realizing that we need more ice rinks. The growing number of rinks coming in the near future will help to alleviate some of the concerns many neighbourhood associations have expressed.

Beaverbrook residents have a rockin’ good time curling outdoors Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association

Sports – Beaverbrook residents didn’t let a little snowfall stop them from trying their hand at curling at the Stephen Leacock Public School outdoor rink on Jan. 25.

Cheryl Carroll from the City View Curling Club brought curling rocks for a test game on the Beaverbrook rink.

Peter Smith, Tom McCarthy, Jim Shearon and Michael Goldthorp cleared the snow off the ice surface, and Team McLaren proved you can curl outdoors.

Although the sub-zero temperature had moved up several degrees, it was still “a cool experience,” said the curlers.

Jeanette and Katie McLaren, the first people to enter the Feb. 8 community bonspiel, threw the first rocks for the test game.

“Sweeping really helped to make the rock slide better; but the ice was good, and we had fun,” Jeanette said, Tom McCarthy hadn’t curled for years but he was the only one wearing curling shoes. A smooth delivery brought a smile

to his face.

“I forgot how good it feels to see the rock heading for the circle,” he said.

The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association is hosting the outdoor curling event from 10 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday Feb. 8. Games are limited to 30 minutes and anyone who lives or works in Beaverbrook can play.

“Even if you’ve never curled before, you can still have fun,” said Cheryl Carroll.

There will be a separate section of the ice for people who don`t want to play a game but would like to try throwing a curling rock.

Running shoes or sneakers are recommended. Hot chocolate will be provided and donations to the Kanata Food Cupboard are invited.

Entry forms are in the Scotia Bank Beaverbrook branch and the Kanata Barber Shop.

A curling rock and broom will be on display in the bank and barber shop Thursday, Feb. 6. For more information, contact Jim Shearon 613-592-4453.

Week in Review: One benefit that comes with all the cold weather we’ve been having is that our community’s outdoor ice rinks are fully operational and in great condition. Outdoor rinks are operated by the generosity and commitment of local volunteers through an agreement with the City of Ottawa. Operators devote numerous hours maintaining your local outdoor rink in the coldest of weather when many would rather stay warm inside so I would like to take this opportunity to recognize all of the outdoor skating rink co-ordinators and volunteers who take care of our many outdoor rinks in the community.

In Glen Cairn Rob Nino oversees the maintenance of the rinks with the help of the following volunteers: Steven Shamess (Dogbone Park), Dave O’Connell, Derrick Curren, Eric Heckman and Mark McGaraughty who all help with Clarence Maheral Park rink.

Cheryl Carroll calls for a take-out on the counting rock while Jeanette McLaren waits her turn. The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association is hosting an outdoor curling event In Katimavik, the Katimavik Elementary School rink is looked at the Stephen Leacock rink from 10 a.m. to noon on Feb. 8. after by Solomon Wong, while Roman Srutek and Norbert Srutek are the volunteers at Young’s Pond.

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity Did you know that travel – and other prolonged periods of inactivity from standing or sitting – can have a negative impact on the health of your feet and legs? Fortunately, there are steps you can take to safeguard against those lengthy times of inactivity, with one particularly satisfying solution!

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

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

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

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

Compression stockings also help with the control of varicose veins, venous disease, and lymphedema disorders.

If you travel or have tired, aching legs because of too much time spent standing or sitting, solutions await you at BioPed Foot & Lower Limb Carehttp://www.bioped.com/ locations/locations.asp?id=46 where you will find custom orthotics, footwear, lower limb bracing and compression stockings http://www.bioped. com/products/compression_ stockings.asp. BioPed brings you to experts in orthotics, footwear and pedorthic care.

BioPed certified pedorthists specialize in assessing and providing non-surgical treatment for conditions related to the functions and health of your feet and lower limbs.

BioPed pedorthists can fit men and women of all shapes and sizes with medical grade or over-the-counter compression products.

Of particular interest, BioPed sells JOBST® brand compression stockings.

JOBST® is a world leader in medical gradient compression garments and is ideal for

wearing while on the plane or other situations that have you sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. Whether for business, sport or casual attire, at BioPed, you’ll discover a fine selection of colours and styles of compression stockings to suit your needs and preferences.

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

The Kristina Kiss rink in Trailwest has a team of the following volunteers: Amir Oudeh, Dennis Rice, Tony Garabatos, Dale Austin and Dan Kyle.

The maintenance of the Bridlewood rinks are coordinated by Allen Bursey (Stonemeadow) and the volunteers who take care of their rinks are Robert Levesque (Sawyer’s Meadow), Lorne Kellaway (Huntsman), Danny Lee (Black Tern), Mark Jaques (Meadowbreeze), Sheldon Button (Shetland), Terrence Doman (Mattawa), Phil Vigneron (Bluegrass) and Kevin McCambley (Scissons).

Thank you to all of the rink volunteers for your hard work and dedication to ensuring our community has access to the best possible ice surfaces for so many winter activities!

Airport tips for March Break Lifestyle -The long awaited March Break will soon be upon us. Whether you are escaping the freezing cold or heading for the slopes, it is best to start your trek on the right foot.

Since this is one of the peak times to travel, fleeing from avoidable predicaments of airport security is crucial to get you on your way.

The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) has these tips to ensure security screening is a breeze: AT HOME

• Put on comfortable clothes for the big travel day. Avoid large metallic accessories such as metal buckles or shoes with metal arches.

• Pack all liquids, aerosols and gels that exceed 100 ml into your checked baggage. If you are packing liquids 100 ml or less in your carry-on, place them together in a clear and re-sealable 1-litre plastic bag.

• Note that it is acceptable to carry essential

non-prescription medications such as cough syrup, eye drops, and contact lens solutions in containers larger than 100ml in your carry-on.

Please give these to the screening officer to check separately.

AT THE AIRPORT

• Be prepared and have your boarding pass out and ready to show to the screening officer.

• Transfer the content of your pants pockets in your jacket or carry-on bag.

• Place your jacket in a bin.

• Place your laptop into a bin. Make sure it is removed from its carry-case. All other electronic equipment may be kept in your carry-on.

• Advise the screening officer if any assistance is required throughout the security screening.

Additional travel tips can be found online at catsa.gc.ca, or mobile at m.catsa.gc.ca. You can also follow the organization on Twitter, @ catsa_gc.

There are reasons to think about summer now Lifestyle - While it may seem like spring will soon be here, summer will arrive before you know it. According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, that means that it’s time to start thinking about summer learning plans.

“Summer learning is a critical – and often overlooked – part of students’ learning. By planning for summer learning now, parents will help their children avoid the summer learning brain drain,” says Nick Whitehead, founder and CEO of Oxford Learning.

He offers these five reasons why planning for summer learning this spring is so important: 1. Summer is going to be here soon. Before long, students will be studying for exams and handing in their final term projects, which means that it’s not too early to think about what kids are going to be doing this summer.

2. Summer can undo what children are learning right now. Without maintaining learning momentum and study skills over the summer break, students easily forget everything they’re working hard to learn right now, which means that next year, students need to repeat the same workbooks and materials they are learning right now.

3. Summer can have an impact on how children learn next year. After a summer off, it can take kids up to three months to get back into the swing of learning. That represents a huge amount of wasted

Summer can have an impact on how children learn next year at school. learning opportunities, and it means that students are not up to their potential from as early as the first day back to class.

4. Kids want to learn in the summer. Research in summer learning studies shows that 56 per cent of students want to be involved in a summer program that helps them keep up with summer schoolwork or pre-

pare for the next grade.

5. Summer programs fill up fast. Most programs are already accepting applications and taking reservations for summer enrolment. Schools, camps, and supplemental tutoring facilities such as Oxford Learning are no exception.

CAMP GUIDE

Choosing the right camp Perhaps your children prefer to have fun with friends during the day and come home in the evening. If so, a summer spent at a day camp would be just the thing.

They can join in organized games, go on supervised visits to tourist attractions and spend afternoons at the pool. The duration of this type of camp can range from one to several weeks.

A specialized camp would give your children the opportunity of perfecting their knowledge in a subject which interests them. Sports, culture and the sciences are among the most popular ones.

For a shorter stay, nature classes offer outdoor programs which are both recreational and educational.

Activities are usually spread over a period of one or two days and include nature studies, climbing, water sports and wilderness survival skills.

Pick a specialized summer camp for unforgettable times Lifestyle - Does your child love the visual arts or maybe expeditions into the wilderness? Is he a sports fanatic?

Specialized summer camps will give him the chance to discover a whole new world, broaden his knowledge and develop his talents.

Specialized camps offer activities for all ages and for all tastes throughout the summer.

For a week or more, depending on the organization, young people can participate in exciting programs involving them in enriching activities within a stimulating and friendly environment.

Whether it involves excur-

sions into the wilderness, an immersion course in a foreign language, a science or music camp, team sports or outdoor activities, there’s something to suit everyone.

Along with these specialized activities, summer camps also offer events that involve all the campers, outings and cultural visits. The staff also plans alternative activities just in case Mother Nature doesn’t co-operate.

Staffed by professionals and students, specialized camps can also offer young people the opportunity to develop abilities in areas in which they could one day build a career.

A child will experience a real change of scene when participating in a summer camp.

Lifestyle - Are you in the middle of planning your children’s stay at a summer camp?

Before making your choice, it’s important to ask yourself a few questions. Summer camps, day camps, nature classes and specialized camps are just some of the options open to you and your children. All you have to do is find a camp that will answer their needs and suit your budget.

The length of stay, the quality of the infrastructure and the food, safety, programs offered, the training that the staff receives and the costs of registering will influence your choice.

If your children want to spend one or more weeks in different surroundings, a summer camp would be ideal. Outdoor activities, hiking trips, excursions, cultural outings and meeting new friends will give them a complete change of scene. Nights spent in a dormitory or in a tent will be another unique experience.

As well as having a lot of fun and meeting other children who have the same interests, these young people acquire a broader knowledge and understanding of many different subjects. Their camp experience is something they will never forget.

Reservations have to be made early in the year as these specialized summer camps are very popular and the number of places often limited. So now is the time to make your choice.

Learning to cook: yummy Lifestyle - If your children would like to try camp this summer, they’ll have lots to choose from, with camp themes ranging from traditional nature-based activities to specialized ones. Cooking camp, for example, is a great option for children interested in the culinary arts.

HEALTH

There are so many good reasons for learning to cook.

At this type of camp, your children will learn to appreciate one of the great pleasures of life while learning to eat healthily. Cooking a real meal

teaches a child to follow a balanced diet that contains less fat, salt, and sugar than processed foods.

AUTONOMY

Going to cooking camp also helps children develop autonomy, as they discover new foods and different cooking techniques. They also learn to use utensils safely and follow good food handling practices, such as personal hygiene and food storage.

RECIPES

Every camp tackles a vari-

ety of culinary themes. There might be lessons on day-today cooking; French, Italian, or Asian cuisines; pastry making; and other specialties.

The children prepare simple recipes, but they also discover some famous chefs’ secrets.

TASTING

In addition, many cooking camps offer a mouth-watering formula for food-loving parents; children get to take home the dishes they prepared.

That way, the whole family can enjoy tasting the recipes concocted by their budding chefs. submitted

Summer – and summer camp – is just around the corner.

Be camp ready Lifestyle - On a chilly day like today, it’s hard to believe that the warm weather will be back in a few short weeks. Summer is just around the corner, and it will soon be time for your children to go off to summer camp or to day camp.

Have you started thinking about what you’d like them to do? You’d better get busy, because now is the time to register if you want those early-bird prices.

SPECIAL CAMPS

First of all, find out from your children exactly what they have in mind when they think about going to camp.

Of course, traditional camps are always available; they are ideal for children who love a bit of everything. Other camps are more specialized, and some offer activities that are really off the beaten path.

Children who attend camp develop their socializing skills, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, physical abilities, and environmental awareness.

The event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature traditional and unique interpretations of dance, music and food.

Sun Ping, center, leads a Kanata Chinese Support Centre dance group during a visit at the Kanata Empress Senior Residence on Jan. 10.

R0021243567

When you first meet Ping you are struck by the poise and confidence she projects.

She is quick to greet you with a smile and makes you feel at home at once. Her outlook on life looks resolutely positive but it wasn’t always that way.

Ping has always had an appreciation for music. It has been one of her cherished memories from home.

Ping came to Canada from China in 2001.

Her whole life centered around her children and their children.

She was happy but her health was deteriorating.

In just four years she gained 10 kilograms and had increased her waist measurement by three inches. Ping was in such constant pain with muscles and headaches that she found it difficult to walk the stairs. She was diagnosed with high blood pressure and was on many medications.

She knew she needed to change something but what?

Having music in her life, dance seemed to be a possible solution to her sedentary life, but where would she find a class, for seniors, of Chinese traditional dance?

She met Wen Jean Ho of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre and they started to talk about developing a dance class.

Then in 2009, the support centre received funding to rent a facility and everything fell into place.

As luck would have it the community was hosting an accomplished dance teacher – Zhang Bing.

This began Ping’s start on her road to recovery through master dance classes.

Child abuse has many faces, and while all abuse hurts, different kinds of abuse can hurt in different ways.

Abuse is more than bruises or broken bones; abused children do not always show obvious warning signs of abuse or neglect. Regardless of the type of child abuse, the outcome can result in serious emotional harm. Make a difference in a child’s life; learn the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal and break the cycle.

If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Making a report seems so official and many people are reluctant to get involved in other families’ lives. Understanding some of the myths behind reporting may help put your mind at ease if you need to report child abuse.

I don’t want to break up a family.

Our priority is keeping children in the home. A report does not mean a child is automatically removed from the home - unless the child is clearly in danger.

They will know it was me who called.

Reports can be anonymous. When making a report, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment.

It won’t make a difference what I have to say. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Even if you don’t see the whole picture, others may have noticed something as well, and a pattern can help identify child abuse that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks.

While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.

Make a difference in the life of this child!

Dance is a whole body transformation for Ping Continued from page 33

Dance requires practice. It requires memory and flexibility. For Ping it was a whole body transformation. Her fainting spells disappeared.

Within one year she had stopped all her medications and was feeling and looking like a younger version of her former self.

Ping wasn’t the only one benefiting from this activity.

Both men and women in the class saw remarkable improve-

ments in their health and outlook on life. Improvement in diabetes and depression were only a few of the side effects.

Now when Ping hears music her body naturally moves unencumbered by pain.

Dance has taken her and others in the Chinese seniors community through a natural progression to a clear mind and healthier body. And none of that would have been possible if not for the support centre.

Ping’s whole attitude to life

has changed since those early days.

She has made dear friends in the community and seen other dance instructors emerge within her group, showing leadership and incentive where none existed before.

She wanted to share her story so that others may be inspired to be empowered to change their lives for the better.

The Kanata Chinese Support Centre is inviting all citizens of Kanata and Ottawa to join in the dance.

City Councillor, Kanata North SNOW ANGELS – Do you know someone who has put out an extra effort to help others during this icy and snowy winter? The City is accepting nominations for the Snow Angel program to recognize the help given to an older adult, person with a disability or others. You can email communitypride@ottawa.ca with the name and address of the candidate, as well as relevant details (who they are helping and how). I remember a few years ago, a group of neighbours cleared the snow from a local street that had not yet been ploughed, during a heavy snow, so that an ambulance could reach an injured neighbour, and another time a neighbour cleared a senior’s driveway all winter.

Snow Angels will receive a certificate signed by the Mayor and a custom keychain with a snowflake symbol and Ottawa logo. Please copy me on your submissions so I can add my thanks to our good neighbours.

FRONT LAWN PARKING Earlier this week the Planning Committee will have dealt with a report on what would be permitted with respect to front lawn parking extensions. The report recommends that not more than 50% of the lawn be used and that any extension be landscape quality and not asphalt. That limit would leave space for snow, lawns and trees. It would help with parking issues, but will not solve everyone’s problems. Keeping a large lawn area is important for drainage and the appearance of the street. This is a compromise that should help with parking in many cases.

Kanata Theatre will stage ‘Perfect Wedding’ at the Ron Maslin Theatre Feb. 4 to 8 and Feb. 11 to 15.

Kanata Theatre’s new comedy relies on ‘perfect’ timing Susan Monaghan Kanata Theatre

Arts - Farce is often seen as the black sheep of the theatre family. Lower than low-brow comedy and certainly not fit to share a stage with high tragedy.

Perhaps it is a jealousy thing, as a good farce is universally en-

joyed and darned funny.

The ancient Greek Aristophanes wrote crowd pleasing farces, as did Shakespeare. Moliere made a career out of it, and the movie, television and theatre industry have produced farcical comedies up to this day.

The ingredients are simple: an unlikely situation, over-the-

top characters who we still recognize and relate to, exaggerations and fast paced slapstick.

All those are evident in Robin Hawdon‘s wildly funny “Perfect Wedding” which plays at Kanata Theatre from Feb. 4 to 15.

What could be more recognizable than a hapless fiancé caught in a compromising situation the day of his wedding? Or his bossy fiancé who‘s a little too much like the future mother in law? Or the randy best man and opinionated chambermaid?

It‘s essential to farce that all misunderstandings, entrances, exits and door slams be delivered at breakneck speed, a fact appreciated by first time director Geoff Williams, a third generation actor within the Williams theatrical family.

“The problems in farce are almost always the timing,” said Williams.

“There‘s a lot of start and stop sessions at rehearsal as we carefully choreograph the movements, entrances and exits that often occur in high energy farces.

It can be very draining for the actors going over the same bits again and

again only to be told ‘it‘s not quite right, let‘s try this...’ but in the end it pays off, because everyone is in stitches by the time we get it right, including myself.”

As for the recognition factor, Williams who is now in a happy relationship, confesses some sympathy with the bridegroom.

“I can definitely relate to this (situation) myself, but it depends on what perspective you‘re looking at it from,” he said.

“It‘s hard to go too much in depth without giving too much away, but it entirely comes down to knowing yourself and your wants/ needs in a partner.

“This show, in sort of a convoluted way, does explore that. And I can relate simply by the turbulence my love life has encountered in the past. But really who‘s hasn‘t?”

News - Prompted by feedback from their fall information series, The Oasis in Kanata is offering a four-week course called Strengthening Families Together starting Monday, Feb. 10.

Developed by the Canadian Schizophrenia Society, the course provides mental health resources and information for families and friends of individuals with schizophrenia and other related disorders.

Canadian Mental Health Association statistics tell us that one in five families in our community will have to cope with the mental illness of a loved one at some point.

This 10-hour course will focus on the challenges faced by families of those with schizophrenia, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and mood disorders.

Topics include treatment options; understanding the mental health system; coping as a family; and advocacy and support for the caregiver and family.

“Participation is limited to 14 (people) so everyone will have the opportunity to be heard in a safe, confidential environment,” says Program Manager Carol McMurdo-Paton.

Run by the congregation of Glen Cairn United Church,

The Oasis in Kanata has continued to expand since its start as a community project last September.

The program now offers a monthly support group as well as the information sessions and a Strengthening Families Together course.

Coming up in March, Virginia Lafond, author of From Grief to Hope: rekindling hope through the positive experience of grieving mental illness, will speak from direct experience as a patient and as a professional caregiver at The Royal Ottawa Hospital.

In May, Dr. Gretchen Conrad will return to speak on self-harm, suicide, and emergency planning.

Kanata skier finishes 28th in season-opening slalom Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Sports - Calabogie Ski Racing Club’s alpine athletes kicked off the season with a bang. The U14s and U16s both had backto-back races Jan. 18 and 19 and topped off the weekend with several podiums and personal bests.

The U14s travelled to Vorlage, Que. for a slalom on Saturday, Jan. 18. The race course was long and steep but the conditions and weather were favourable.

Out of 56 female racers, Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew kick-started her season by neatly finishing in fourth place.

Alexandra Kerr of Kemptville achieved a personal best 15th place.

Jessica Earle (Ottawa) and Alyssa Steggall (Stittsville) landed in 29th and 30th place, with Emma Schreider (Kingston) in 41st. Sophia Tan (Kanata) and Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa) both crashed on their first runs but rallied on the second to finish with fast times.

The U14 boys compete in a

Kanata’s Jenna Wissing, a U16 skier, finished 28th in the slalom and 29th in the grand slalom. category against 66 other racers this season. Sam Duff of Pembroke emerged victorious, despite a fall on his first run. Jack Alexander (Carp) managed to squeeze into 12th place after missing a gate and hiking on his first run.

Sean Swayze (Braeside) put together two solid runs to land in 19th place with Connor Allen (Manotick) close behind in 26th. Owen Barr (Carp) skied

to 37th place and Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) came 43rd after missing a gate and hiking back up the course. Aiden Keuninckx of Perth, debuting in his very first ski race, finished 44th.

Liam Maclean (Manotick) was on fire on his first run, but his speed led to a spectacular crash!

He recovered to complete a strong second run.

U16s have grand inaugural weekend Continued from page 43

Sunday, Jan. 19, saw the U14s at Camp Fortune, Que. on a grand slalom course that was so icy it was bulletproof. The athletes gathered their courage and launched themselves down the slippery chute with some

mixed results. The girls dominated – Sophia Tan sped to the podium, finishing third, with Lauren Campbell-Brunke right behind in fourth.

Alexa Loudiadis rounded out the top 10 with an eighth place. Alyssa Steggall finished in 19th place, while Alex Kerr

and Emma Schreider split the field in 24th and 25th.

However, by the time the boys skied, the ice was beginning to claim some victims.

Twenty-four of the male racers crashed out on one of their runs, with Sam Duff, Jack Alexander and Aiden Keuninckx being

Calabogie’s fall guys. However, all three boys rallied for excellent second runs.

The U16s had a grand inaugural weekend. The team travelled to Mont Cascades for a slalom on Saturday, then had home hill advantage at Calabogie Peaks with a grand sla-

lom on Sunday. The boys race against 47 other athletes, while the girls’ division features 49 racers.

Alex Duff (Pembroke) finished third in the slalom and doubled this feat with a third in the grand slalom as well. Connor Maclean (Manotick) had a strong season start as he sped to 26th in slalom and 29th in the grand slalom. Jenna Wissing (Kanata) also had a solid per-

formance, coming in 28th on Saturday and 39th on Sunday.

Grace Gaffney (Deep River) landed in 30th in her slalom, and had one excellent run in the grand slalom but crashed on the other.

Aylen Ferguson (Carp) did not finish one run in her slalom race, but was comfortably inside the top 10 in her grand slalom race with a clean eighth place result.

The men’s and women’s basketball teams from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University met Jan. 21 at the Canadian Tire Centre for the annual Capital Hoops night. Local basketball players make up a large part of the rosters of both schools.

Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option.

Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week.

You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

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 be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first.

Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change.

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.
