Green team looks to build vegetable or butterfly garden Hadi sits on the recycling committee. He said after today, they can help educate classrooms on how to use their recycling bins more effectively.

“A lot of paper was in the garbage and that’s not good,” he said. “A lot of organics that could go in the green bin (were also in the garbage).

“The green bin really needs to be used a lot more.”

A number of students on the Green Team volunteer time from their lunch break to go into classrooms that have organic waste bins, empty them in the larger curb-side bin, and then rinse out and return the small receptacles.

“We take five minutes out of our lunch to do that,” said Mariam Johannes, a Grade 5 student, who helped conduct the trash audit. “(The smell) was not very pleasant, but it was fun. You can learn lots.”

Teachers volunteer to use green bins in their classes because it’s not mandatory, and schools have to have a Green Team to qualify for green bin recycling, said teacher Renée Labrosse.

“The kids do a lot. They obviously really care,” she said. “A lot of those kids will bring those habits home.”

Each bag in the 28 catego-

ries was weighed and logged

by Tom Thistle, the environmental management coordinator for the public school board. The rubbish is broken down into subcategories so schools can see how much waste they generate in each area, such as how many paper towels are used in a day.

The results can then be applied to similar elementary schools in the board, said Thistle.

“This school, just judging by what I’ve seen, is doing a good job of minimizing waste,” he said. “They seem to be doing a very good job separating.”

So far, two schools have completed waste audits this year and Thistle said he expects more to sign up in the spring.

“I’ll go into any school that wants to do one to teach waste minimization,” he said, adding that close to half the schools in the board use green bins.

Only about 10 per cent of what goes into landfills is real garbage, said Thistle, such as chip bags and drinking straws. That number also applies to households.

GREEN TEAM

Around 50 grades 4, 5 and 6 students make up the Green Team, which is also

composed of three subcommittees run by the students: • The compost committee: collects and empties the small classroom green bins into the larger receptacle.

• Eco detectives committee: does mini-audits in the classes, ensures the proper bins are being used and that energy is being conserved.

• Special events committee: plans awareness campaigns every month.

“I think it’s really important to save the environment,” said Grade 4 student Evelyn Bodnar. “We’re seeing how much energy and garbage classes save.”

The Green Team is led by a group of four teachers, including Labrosse, Melissa Seth, Alana Eritou and Christine de March.

They hope to implement either a vegetable or butterfly garden in the spring as part of the school’s greening project.

A class of grades 5 and 6 students is conducting the research on the two types of gardens and will present the findings on which one the school should create.

“Depending on what they find, hopefully we can proceed with one of the options,” said Seth.

“We’ve seen other schools in the board do it with a lot of success.”

Grade 5 student Mariam Johannes sorts through a bag of plastic recycling on Jan. 30. John Young Elementary School conducted a school-wide trash audit and hopes to gain its Eco Schools Certification this year.

“Our core philosophy is to really get close to the client and support them in rolling out their business plans,” said Allam.

LAUNCH

News - Seven months ago, Omar Allam was looking to make a career change, leaving his position with the Canadian government.

The Beaverbrook resident logged on to LinkedIn, a social media forum for businesses, to do some research and stumbled across an entrepreneur named Omar Anzur. Allam sent him a message, and soon received a reply.

Anzur lives in Australia so the two set up a video call over the Internet.

“We get to talking and one discussion turned into a threeand-a-half hour discussion,” said Allam. “The one common thread was that we shared the same philosophy and vision, the same passion, and really that entrepreneurial spirit.”

They talked about Anzur’s plans for a global business focusing on consulting, education, technology and web and mobile services.

“I thought, ‘OK, I’m going to take a leap of faith here.

I’m going to quit my full time job,’” said Allam.

He sent in his resignation and now less than a year later, the two have launched three global startups under the World Advisors Group, with offices and representation in Kanata, Toronto, Sydney, Geneva, London, Shanghai and Hong Kong: • World Trade Advisors: a management consulting business under the World Advisors Group serves startups, governments, publically traded companies, not-for-profits and international agencies, dealing with international trade, investment and trade law.

• World Tech Advisors: an information technology business with a focus on creative web and mobile application development, and offering technology solutions around-

Anzur and Allam met faceto-face for the first time when Anzur travelled to Ottawa to announce the business launch at the end of January.

Allam, the senior vice-president and partner of the three newly launched businesses, and Anzur, CEO of World Advisors Group, were guest speakers at the Kanata North Business Improvement Area’s first monthly networking event on Jan. 29.

Jenna Sudds, executive director of the Kanata North BIA, said the BIA will host the networking opportunities on the last Wednesday of each month.

Anzur and Allam shared their experience with making a global business model work with a group of around 60 BIA members at the Marshes Golf Club.

“Technology is a great enabler,” said Allam. “There is no secret to (our) success; we

leverage the technology to enable the business that we do.”

They rely on various online and instant message applications – like Google Docs, Blackberry Messenger and Trello – to stay in touch and work collaboratively, said Allam, as well as social media to share their agenda.

At the BIA event, Allam took a photo of the room and posted it to Facebook and Twitter. In less than 15 minutes, the post had received 22 likes and three retweets.

“This just goes to show you the power of social media,” said Allam, adding companies should be embracing new technologies and applications.

“This is how easy it is in today’s world to be marketing your businesses,” said Anzur.

“The economy has changed; people have needs that are not being fulfilled. Like mobile and web development.”

Having a global company allows them to find the best and most cost-effective way to develop solutions for their clients, he said.

“We can help you with the website because we have a tech team, we can help you with the social media because we have a marketing team, we can help you with the legal,” he said. “If you want someone to come with you to meetings, we can do that.”

Entrepreneurs share key principles to success Continued from page 5

Anzur said the company operates with five key principles that helped them build and launch a global business:

• Make sure the right people are in the right positions. “We hire and retain toptier global talent,â€? said Anzur. “When you’ve got the right people on the bus, in the right

seats, you’ll go in the right direction. In today’s world where things are moving fast and evolving, if you have the wrong people on the bus they’ll slow you down like speed bumps.�

• Don’t let geography restrict business opportunities. “We’ve been working digitally the last seven months, since May, and I’ve just come here,â€? said Anzur. “We’re not limited by geography. “Think globally. With the technology tools that now exist the amount of amazing possible things and the exposure you can get is just awesome.â€?

He added that employing a “lean startup business modelâ€? is also a major factor in their success. It involves starting small, testing the idea to see what works, changing aspects that need it, then building it up for a larger market and launch it big. “Because of the lean startup business model we’re not burdened by heavy infrastructure costs like some of our competitors,â€? he said. • Have a corporate philosophy that drives personal success. “We have a few full-time people on salary; the rest are mostly on consultant basis where there’s no limitation how much revenue they can generate,â€? said Anzur. “Because they’re working for themselves, doing what their passionate about, it allows everyone to do what they want to do, which is

Omar Allam, right, and Omar Anzur engage the audience during the first Kanata North BIA networking event. one of the secrets to success.â€? • Be creative and innovative when offering business solutions. “We like big audacious goals,â€? he said. “Big goals draw up a crowd. It’s really helping people achieve their goals in this new economy.â€? • Don’t let titles limit employees. “We don’t limit our people to a hierarchical model,â€? Anzur said. “Titles are meaningless; everyone works on a linear plane. We have communication tools that encourage and foster a culture of openness, transparency and collaboration.â€?

Mentoring is an important aspect of the business, said Anzur, and something they facilitate. Experienced employees are often matched with younger workers. “People like to have an op-

portunity for growth. They want to grow their skills. They don’t want to be static,� he said. “It’s a passion and that’s what we do; we make sure we only get passionate people that want to succeed. When you get a bunch of smart, passionate people working together, great things (happen).�

With the right people in place and a passion for their work, Allam and Anzur see their companies continuing to grow and prosper in the global market. “People talk about, ‘In the future this will happen.’ We feel the future is already here,� said Anzur. “I read a report in Business Week that 40 per cent of US small businesses will be operating the way we operate by 2020, which is a global, virtual, freelance model. We’re doing that in 2014.�

If you have more money to contribute this year, based on a salary or inflation increase, and you’re already having those regular contributions come out, February can be a great time to up the amount you’re putting into your RRSP, even if it’s just a few dollars per week.

Beyond RRSPs, Cane says people need to work on gathering receipts for anything that may give them some tax credit or relief. “You can get a tax credit for using public transit,� says Cane. “But the most common question clients get from Canada Revenue Agency is, ‘where are the receipts?’�

If you’re like me and you own a small, unincorporated business, there are a lot more options – writing off portions of property tax, home and car insurance, and household bills.

Transpo user, now’s the time to start looking through old handbags, shoeboxes, wherever you typically keep those receipts and get them all in one place.

If you have medical expenses that aren’t otherwise covered by insurance, you can get some credit for those as well.

And you may not realize – I didn’t – that you get a bigger tax deduction for charitable contributions in excess of $200 per year. “If you have over $200 in donations, then you jump to a 44-per cent tax savings,� says Cane. “A lot of people don’t realize you can accumulate the receipts and save them over a number of years. For married couples, they can be attributed to the highest income earner.�

Families have a few more write-offs: children’s sports and arts programs (even summer camps), along with childcare receipts, can help you save some coin come tax time. But find those receipts.

If you’re like me and you own a small, unincorporated business, there are a lot more options – writing off portions of property tax, home and car insurance, and household bills.

But Cane has some firm advice for home business owners like us. “Keep everything for your personal and business separate, bank accounts too,� she says. “It’s a lot easier if you ever get audited, but it’s also the only way to know whether or not your business is actually making money.�

FO

people that wait until the end of the year to do your RRSP contribution and you find yourself taking out a loan every year to do this, it may give you fewer headaches to have those regular contributions come out of your account with your biweekly paycheque,� says Cane.

R0162484909.0209

here’s nothing like February to get all you anxious, depressed people thinking about something even more depressing – tax filing.

But if you’re the type who likes to wait until that April 30 deadline, don’t. A little bit of upfront preparation will save you a lot of stress and anxiety down the road.

The first place to start is by looking at your assessment from last year because the deadline to make taxsheltering contributions to registered retirement savings plans is March 3.

If you find yourself in a 46 per cent tax bracket, it’s best to make the maximum contribution possible, even if that means taking out an RRSP loan. But what if you’re in a low income tax bracket? If you’ve got the money to save right now, it may still worth making the contribution, says Ottawa Money Coach Judith Cane. “Let’s say you have money to contribute, and you don’t make that much money, but you know your income will be higher in five years or so,� says Cane with Money Coaches Canada. “You can make the contribution now, but save the tax shelter and use it for a later tax year when you’re making more money.�

If you’re consistently lowincome says Cane, RRSPs may not be your best savings option, but it’s a good idea to talk to a money coach or a financial adviser about other investment options like tax-free savings accounts so that you have some money growing for retirement.

For people who aren’t already making automatic weekly or monthly RRSP contributions, February is also a good time to set this up. “If you’re one of these

Hudak has much to prove

T

here’s something peculiar in the wind blowing across the province since the turn of the calendar year. While many might hope for the sweet smell of spring, they’ll be disappointed to learn it’s only the stale odour of a provincial election, which threatens to extend Ontario’s long winter.

News from Queen’s Park is flying thick and fast, with both the ruling Liberals and opposition Progressive Conservatives ramping up the rhetoric in advance of what will surely be an election this April or May. From Premier Kathleen Wynne pledging to raise the minimum wage to PC leader Tim Hudak promising to bring more than a million jobs to the province, our leaders are suddenly bursting with plans to make our lives better than they have been for much of the past six years.

Six years. That’s how long it’s been since world financial markets melted down, plunging the global economy into a tailspin it is just now showing signs of pulling out of, at least in a manner that most of us would notice. That recovery isn’t extending to everyone in equal measure, however. Here in Ontario, the jobless rate still exceeds the national average.

Kickstarting the economy needs to be top priority for the premier’s office, no matter who occupies it.

Which brings us to Hudak. After more than 10 years in power, what provincial Liberals have to offer has been on display for quite a while, even after a year under Wynne’s leadership. If NDP leader Andrea Horwath has anything to contribute outside of support for the Liberals, she’s keeping it to herself.

So it falls largely to Hudak to offer the province a new way forward. What has he proposed? Through a combination of balanced budgets, lower energy costs and taxes, and “right to work� legislation, he plans to put the open for business sign back in the front window. Unfortunately, he offers little detail on how he’ll get this done. Yet that formula would lead to drastic changes from what Ontarians have been used to over the past 15 years. Are we prepared for that?

Balancing the budget can certainly be accomplished, but cuts would need to be particularly deep if they are to facilitate both getting back into the black and lowering taxes. Lowering hydro costs is also far from easy: the hole dug on the energy file by the Liberals is very deep – getting out of it won’t come without further cost, let alone smaller bills for consumers and businesses.

Hudak needs to better explain how he intends to accomplish his goals if voters are to feel confident offering their support when the writ is dropped.

Coming to terms with our Canadian winter

P

art of being Canadian involves bragging to people from warmer climes about how cold it is up here. Another part of being Canadian is wanting to get out of the cold.

So, now this will be interesting – Winterlude and the Olympics at the same time. One is trying to get you out of the house; the other is tempting you to stay in.

How you resolve that is up to you, but the choice says something about the way we winter in this country. Half of our national make-up glorifies our climate and takes pride in getting out there and conquering it.

The other half says: “Turn up the heat, close the doors and what’s on TV?�

Now, it’s entirely possible that what’s on TV will drive you outside. Much as everyone enjoys watching the skiing, the skating, the hockey and the luge, much of the TV coverage of the Olympics is not about skates, skis, hockey sticks and luges. It is about the networks that are carrying them. We know that from their advance commercials. This is their chance to shine, they all figure, and their big-name personalities will be featured at length and maybe we’ll get to watch some Olympic events, too, between all the grinning and cheerleading.

613-723-5970 Published weekly by:

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town A few hours of TV and radio self-obsession might impel you out the door to check out what Winterlude has to offer.

Now, Winterlude has had a mixed history. It began its existence as something that clogged up the Rideau Canal ice with horses and TV personalities and corporate sponsors so that no one could have a decent skate. No less a person than former NCC chairman Douglas Fullerton, the father of canal skating, went public with the idea that the “rink,� as he called it, was for skating, not for standing around and watching stuff.

But eventually, the Winterlude people got a handle on that, moved many of the events off the ice, got more and more local businesses involved, reached out to the arts community and created a bigger, yet somehow better festival.

One difference this year is that the National Capital Commission, which initiated Winterlude and has run it for decades, is no longer doing so. Now it’s the Department of Canadian Heritage. A message from the minister in the program announces that this year’s Winterlude will be highlighting the 100th anniversary of the First World War, not exactly a fun time, and the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences.

A Winterlude celebration of constitutional conferences: there’s an ice sculpture challenge for you. And there’s maybe another reason to rush home and turn on the tube.

And there, back at the Olympics, we will notice how the politicians, the broadcasters and the sports bureaucrats always find a way to get in the way of the athletes. To that, we can now add the security services. Occasionally the cheerleading will be interrupted by traditional laments for the demise of the purity of sport. This will give us the opportunity to remember that sports must, at one time, have been pure, and try to think what that would have looked like.

Before the bureaucrats, the corporations, the broadcasters, the politicians, the security services and drug testers got in the way, Olympic sport was about the individual athlete. It was

not about the individual athlete’s nationality.

But then countries began keeping score and all of a sudden nationalism was added to the Olympic movement’s many problems.

Canadians, of course, are among the worst offenders. When our hockey teams are on the ice, nothing can keep us from cheering on our country, not even a Winterlude celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference.

We know that this isn’t really what the Olympics is supposed to be about, but we can’t help ourselves. Maybe we should get out of the house more. Except that it’s winter.

Food cupboard thanks community To the editor:

With every passing year, all of us at the Kanata Food Cupboard continue to be sincerely impressed and humbled by the generosity of members of our community. Good times or bad, food donations continue to be dropped in our bins at the

local food stores.

Local businesses and schools do massive food drives. At Christmas, the entire community pulls together with donations of food, money, and their time. Entire families come to volunteer.

All of this is extremely heartwarming and gratifying.

This year, our community’s combined efforts helped 170 families with regular hampers in December, and also allowed us to deliver 390 Christmas hampers. Almost half of these were provided by families or

groups who adopted families in need.

Looking back, 2013 was a very successful year from our point of view. We were able to meet the ongoing need in our community, and to help those less fortunate families realize they have not been forgotten.

We thank you for your continued support, thoughtfulness and generosity. To us, this is what makes Kanata such a great place to live and work.

A new residential community planned for the urban boundary expansion up March Road (in red) anticipates about 3,000 residential units and 8,000 people. A public meeting will be held on Feb. 26. the submitted plans and attendees will have the opportunity to review them and vote on their favourites.

“The intention is to get to planning committee before the summer but it

Some of the top priorities expressed during last year’s workshop were: proper buffers such as trees and low-density housing between existing communities and the new area, the widening of March Road to Dunrobin Road (which was removed from the transportation master plan) to accommodate increased traffic, and maintaining a forested area to the east of March Road bordering the rail line.

The minimum density for the area is 34 units per net residential hectare, which doesn’t include space set aside for infrastructure, parks, schools or commercial structures.

Fairwinds in west Kanata is similar in density to the planned community.

Four major developers own the land that will become a slice of suburbia: Valecraft Homes, Metcalfe Realty Company Ltd., Junic/Multivesco and Brigil Construction.

Ottawa On the Move, LRT, and Lansdowne Park are the biggest infrastructure projects underway in 2014 but this year will also mark the beginning of some smaller but equally important projects as well including:

We will also continue to do more to make City Hall a people place rather than just a place for residents to pay parking tickets.

I have been incredibly impressed with Ottawa’s entrepreneurial talent over the past three years and will be partnering with the YMCA-YWCA to host the Y-Biz Expo in Jean Pigott Place at City Hall in June. This expo will showcase some great burgeoning Ottawa companies as well as others who started through the Y Biz network and have grown into significant businesses since then.

Finally, I will also be hosting a “2017 Ideas Town Hall” event, to solicit feedback from residents about how the City of Ottawa can make the most of Canada’s 150th year. As the nation’s capital, we want to own 2017 and I will be asking residents what we should be doing to best celebrate our country’s sesquicentennial in Ottawa.

All in all it’s shaping up to be a year of progress in Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa named top employer in National Capital Region for sixth consecutive year

Hydro Ottawa has been recognized as a Top Employer in the National Capital Region (NCR) for its dedication to employee, workplace and community engagement.

The annual editorial competition, which forms part of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, recognizes the region’s most exceptional places to work by identifying those employers that lead in attracting and retaining employees. This is the sixth consecutive year Hydro Ottawa has been honoured.

The award comes after a successful year of giving back to the community, with Hydro Ottawa raising a record-breaking total of $228,415 for the United Way Ottawa through its Brighter Tomorrows Fund, and a “Go Paperless” E-Billing campaign that will result in more than 14,000 trees being planted in the Ottawa area this spring.

These initiatives, and more, are outlined in the company’s just released Corporate Social Responsibility Report. To download a copy, please visit our website.

News - Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson said she will run for a third term in office because people in the community asked her to put her name forward.

After the 2010 vote, Wilkinson said she wouldn’t seek reelection but changed her mind after being approached by numerous people, which the Kourier-Standard first wrote about last October.

“I wasn’t really planning to run (but) people kept coming up to me and telling me, ‘No, you should run again’ and offering to help,” she said during an interview on Jan. 31. “It’s really more because the community asked me to and I’m here to serve the community – that’s my job. If they want me to continue then maybe I should, that’s the way I looked at it.

She added that the decision to run is a personal issue, not a political one.

“I didn’t make it a commitment to people the last time.

When I was running the last campaign it hardly ever came up. It was really after the campaign,” she said. “It certainly wasn’t in my campaign literature.”

Wilkinson hasn’t filed her nomination papers but said she plans to this spring when she begins fundraising for her campaign.

“I’m not rushing it. There

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson says she will run for re-election because the people in her community have asked her to continue to represent them. are too many other things to do in my actual job,” she said.

“When you’re an incumbent you also have to really clone yourself.

“When I’m doing my business as a city councillor I have to just be on that, I can’t talk about elections,” she added.

“And when I’m out electioneering and people ask me about city business, I can make a note of it to follow up later. They want to keep things separate.”

Wilkinson was the first councillor elected to the Kanata North ward when it was created in 2006 and retained her seat in 2010.

A long-time resident of Beaverbrook, she has more than 24 years of experience as a municipal politician, having served as Kanata’s first mayor before amalgamation, and as a member of March township council.

‘It’s really more because the community asked me to and I’m here to serve the community:’ Wilkinson She also served as mayor and regional councillor in the regional municipality of Ottawa-Carleton for nine years.

“I haven’t moved and I’ve lived in four different municipalities. I’ve been on the council of every one of them,” Wilkinson said. “The community knows me now, the way that I operate. I try to keep them in the picture, let them have a say in things that happen. I may not always do what they want but at least they know that it’s considered.”

Her biggest accomplishments over the past four years include seeing the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata, the West District Library and the Kanata North Business Improvement Area come to life, as well as getting light rail to Bayshore and extending the bus rapid transit up March Road to Terry Fox Drive into the Master Transportation Plan she said.

“The Richcraft Recreation Complex is a big one, particularly the fundrais-

ing that we did to bring in the extra lanes in that pool.

Thank goodness we have them, because they are at capacity on Saturdays and Sundays. I put a lot of effort into that,” she said. “The Master Transportation Plan, to get them to bring the rail to Bayshore was a huge, huge change and very, very critical for our long-term development … There’s still going to be work to get them implemented but at least they’re in the plans.”

There are a number of projects she’d like to see completed if re-elected, which include: • The urban boundary expansion up March Road, which anticipates 3,000 new residential units. The land is currently in the West Carleton-March ward but would become part of Kanata North after development.

• Development proposals in Beaverbrook that include a nine-storey building coupled with a three-storey apartment complex on 1.48 hectares of land at 1131 Teron Rd., and a new concept for a seniors’

home on Varley Drive, similar in size and height to the Varley apartment building.

• Fundraising for additions to the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata. So far, the efforts have generated $979,900 of the $1.2 million needed for two additional lanes for the pool, as well as a youth room and a larger skate park.

• A business improvement area in the Kanata Centrum.

Having helped create a BIA in the north Kanata business park, Wilkinson said she’d like to see something similar in the Centrum – if it’s something the businesses want.

“I really, deeply care about this community,” she said.

“There are still some things I would like to see happen here that, because of my background, I could handle a little bit more easily than someone coming in who would have to learn the ropes.”

So far, two other candidates have signed their registration papers for Kanata North – Jeff Seeton and Matt Muirhead.

In the 2010 election,

Wilkinson won by just over half of the votes while Seeton finished with 45 per cent.

Muirhead dropped out a few months before the election due to family reasons.

“People running against me are disappointed I’m running again, that’s to be expected.

I understand that,” Wilkinson said.

Muirhead openly challenged Wilkinson on Twitter,

appropriate time to do so.”

And when it comes time to cast a ballot, Wilkinson said residents should vote for her because “They know what they’re going to get.”

“They know that I work hard for them, that I keep people involved and that I try to get decisions made that are going to support the community locally,” she said. “And they also know – and some find it surprising – that I actually take a broad view of the city as a whole. I try to have the city-wide issues fair all across the city.”

The municipal election is set for Oct. 27.

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Kanata North this term

Check Us Out!

News - Jeff Seeton is one familiar name that will be on the ballot for Kanata North voters on Oct. 27.

In addition to receiving 45.2 per cent of the votes in the last municipal election (Coun. Marianne Wilkinson won with 50. 2 per cent), Seeton was president of the Kanata Town Centre Community Association from 2005 to 2010.

He is also the past vice chair of the Kanata Food Cupboard and a youth sports coach.

Seeton, 42, owns JobMatcher.ca, a national consulting agency that provides contract workers, mostly to the federal government.

Much of Seeton’s previous work as a political consultant included negotiating with members of the community and politicians. He was a consultant on the original Smoke Free Ottawa campaign.

Seeton lives in Kanata Lakes with his wife, Chantal, and their two daughters.

and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term?

A: The biggest oversight from council was the overlooking of this part of the city for transportation and the subtraction of light rail to come out to Kanata … I think that some relationships that could have been made (on council) were lost. As a result, those councillors look at Kanata North and say … ‘We’re not interested in helping that area because we

can’t get along with the councillor that’s out there.’

I don’t believe, with a maximum price tag of $2 billion, that anybody in their right mind is going to want to spend $2 billion to save five minutes (commuting time) … With the exception of the Canadian Tire Centre … I am not sure there is going to be benefits to having light rail out here.

Don’t get me wrong – I believe in multiple years, light rail has to come out here. I think LRT to Orléans is an easier path than to come out here.

est I didn’t really believe her anyway.

Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign?

A: I intend to not accept any contributions from any developers. I think it sends the wrong message when many councillors currently are heavily financed by developers who do business with the city every day that is in the billions of dollars. I have already issued a public challenge to the current councillor to join me.

I’ll be (fundraising) at a grassroots level.

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

A: No. Absolutely none.

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

A: The answer for the current term of council and the next term is the same. Kanata, Stittsville and the entire west end should have been included in the light-rail plan. If it is good for the east, it is good for the west. For us not to be included is a major, major oversight in my opinion and I will fight every day of my term for as long as it takes until Kanata and the west end are included in the light-rail plan.

We have traffic that is going both ways. In Orléans, it is mostly leaving Orléans and coming into the downtown in the morning and then in the evening it is from downtown back to Orléans.

New health link to improve care for ‘complex’ patients in Kanata and area News - Patients with complex needs in the Kanata-StittsvilleArnprior area will soon benefit from more co-ordinated care and better transitions between community health care partners through the establishment of the West Ottawa and Arnprior Health Link.

A news release last week announces that the health link will be led by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and Arnprior Regional Health.

It will work on the project with many of the other health service providers in the area, including primary care physicians, community based services, family health teams, the Community Care Access Centre, long term care homes and other hospitals such as Queensway Carleton.

The next phase of the health link will be the development of a business case to enhance the quality of care for the most complex patients in the area.

Working with the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), the West Ottawa and Arnprior Health Link task force hopes to have a submission completed before March 31.

“A key success factor in this initiative will be the inclusion of patients and their families in the design of new delivery models,” explained Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre executive director Cathy Jordan.

“This new patient experience will drive change.”

“As the health care system focuses upon improving the patient experience while reducing the cost of providing quality care, a focus upon a small group of patients such as the high use group of patients will enable a more focused improvement strategy,” said Queensway Carleton Hospital CEO Tom Schonberg.

The news release explains that community health links are part of the government’s Action Plan for Health Care and are a new initiative designed to improve care co-ordination between local care providers.

Through the health link, pro-

viders work together to design care plans for their most complex patients to ensure they are receiving “the right care, in the right place at the right time.”

In an area where complex needs patients account for 10 per cent of the patient population and more than 72 per cent of health care costs, it is expected that better care co-ordination will result in a stronger, more efficient system, and less costs consumed by the system to manage their conditions.

The West Ottawa and Arnprior Health Link will help to: • Improve access to family care for patients with multiple, complex conditions • Reduce avoidable emergency room visits • Reduce unnecessary re-admission to hospitals shortly after discharge; • Reduce time for referral from primary care doctor to specialist; • Improve the patient’s experience during their journey through the health care system.

The Champlain LHIN has played an important role in the

program by bringing partners together, facilitating the formation of each health link, and monitoring their progress.

“The health links model aligns perfectly with the strategies of the Champlain LHIN to build a strong foundation of primary, home and community care, and to improve transitions in care for patients and clients,” said Champlain LHIN CEO Chantale LeClerc.

“Everybody can win if we plan together to improve the lives of our most complex patients,” said Dr. Barry Bruce, lead physician for the Carp Family Health Team and member of the health link advisory committee.

“I’m looking forward to working out the specifics with our new partners.”

“Joint leadership by both Arnprior Regional Health and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will ensure that the full continuum of care is addressed along with ensuring the perspectives of both rural and urban settings are considered in new models,” said Arnprior Re-

gional Health CEO Eric Hanna.

“Community health links are about breaking down health care barriers for high-needs patients by making it less complicated to get the care they need,” said Minister of Health and LongTerm Care Deb Matthews.

“Community health links are about breaking down health care barriers for high-needs patients by making it less complicated to get the care they need,” said Minister of Health and LongTerm Care Deb Matthews.

“By encouraging local health providers to work together to co-ordinate care for high-needs patients, we’re ensuring some of our most vulnerable patients - those with complex conditions - don’t fall between the cracks.”

Community - The books have been accumulating at Kanata United Church.

A wonderful variety of both fiction and non-fiction have been generously donated by local bibliophiles ensuring, once again, that the book sale will offer more than 30,000 quality books at the sale, which will be held Feb. 20 to 22.

Funds raised at the annual book sale go to support various programs and charities including the Kanata Food Cupboard, Habitat for Humanity, and Ottawa West End Chaplaincy The church also ensures that many book donations go on to serve other efforts including school and church fundrais-

ers, seniors’ residences, and the Ottawa Mission.

The popularity of this sale has caused the scope of the event to grow over the years.

Once again, the sale will run for three days; however, this year there will be extended hours so that book-lovers have more room to move and more time to shop.

The “kids only” afternoon sale will again run from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 20. This popular segment of the sale is designed to offer children a chance to buy books away from the crowds – kids shop while parents and caregivers enjoy a coffee nearby.

Doors will then be open to the general public on Feb. 20

at 5 p.m.

Doors will now open at 1 p.m. and close at 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21 Saturday’s sale will once again run from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The church hopes that the extended hours will allow more flexibility for busy families.

This year promises to be another success with numerous books being collected in over 45 categories. Volunteers have once again sorted fiction alphabetically by author so that shoppers can shop easily for their favourite authors. So mark your calendars and check out the sale at Kanata United Church, 33 Leacock Dr. More information is available at the church website: kuc.ca or by calling 613-592-5834.

Until now, the distinctive lilaccoloured bikes have only been available in Westboro, Hintonburg and Wellington West. More recently, two hubs opened up in the Glebe.

“This is going to give more reach to the RightBike service,” said Shane Norris of RightBike.

The grant was announced on Jan. 28 as part of the city’s Better Neighbourhoods program, which selects a handful of community projects to receive up to $30,000 and one year of partnership and assistance from city staff. In addition to RightBike, Better Neighbourhoods grants were also awarded to the Rotary Club in Stittsville to create a “peace park” reflection space there, as well as a group in the Bayshore/Accora Village neighbourhood that wants to install an outdoor community bake oven.

The bike-sharing service’s goal is to provide an accessible alternative to other modes of transportation – one that is more healthy and active. After paying a $60 annual membership fee or $5 day pass, members have unlimited use of the bikes, which are maintained and stored by RightBike for all members’ use. There is also a three-day pass option for $20.

Norris said the locations of new hubs and even the specific neighbourhoods and areas RightBike will expand into have yet to be discussed, since the grant was just announced.

But he called on interested community centres, groups and businesses to reach out if they are keen to get involved.

“Stations do require some participation from the volunteers,” Norris said, adding that finding locations that have space for bicycles is another obvious concern.

Aside from new locations in its west-end stomping ground, such as the proposed West-End Well and the new location of Tall Tree Cycles, RightBike has already secured agreement from Cycle Salvation community bike shop to add a station to its west Centretown location on Bronson Avenue just south of Gladstone Avenue. That brings the total to eight hubs, but Norris is hoping some of the new stations will be ready to go for the 2014 season launch in May. Aside from donated space, RightBike will also need a lot of new bikes. All of the bike-share’s bicycles are donated, so Norris said he’s really counting on the community to bring in old bikes for him to refurbish and re-use as RightBikes. Bikes can be dropped off at the Right Bike office and workshop at 1 McCormick St., Unit A. See BIKE-SHARING on page 25

Shane Norris of RightBike says a $30,000 city grant will allow his bike-sharing service to make cycling accessible in more communities.

Bike-sharing service receives $30,000 Better Neighbourhoods grant Continued from page 24

The shop is just off Wellington Street West, behind the RBC and across from McCormick Park. Any donations RightBike can’t use will be turned over to Cycle Salvation for refurbishing and sale, or to Habitat for Humanity to be sold as scrap metal.

The bike-sharing program currently has 65 bikes ready to go, including two hand-crank bikes for people with disabilities, with 40 more in various stages of repair.

Norris said he is also in the process of pur-

chasing a couple new bikes. He’ll add two or three adult tricycles to the fleet to make it easier for members to haul groceries and cargo, or just to ensure people who are less sure on two wheels have an opportunity to get comfortable on a bike.

That purchase is made possible by another grant from the Ottawa Sustainability Fund.

RightBikes are only available in the warmer weather. The season usually runs from May until late October, Norris said.

RightBike can be reached by emailing rightbike@causewayworkcentre.org or by calling the office at 613-722-4440.

Bridlewood singer named one of Ontario’s top vocalists Blair Edwards

C’EST LE TEMPS DE S’INSCRIRE! IT’S REGISTRATION TIME!

put on by his music school, and during the Kanata Theatre’s 2012-13 season, auditioned and won a lead role as Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; he has also performed with the Goya Theatre Productions, an Ottawa company.

“I love acting,” said Matteo. “I love movies as well.”

Matteo has already set his mind on two possible career paths. One involves winning a spot at Canterbury High School in Ottawa and upon graduation applying to the Juilliard School in New York, and earning a master’s degree in singing and music, which hopefully would lead to a career as a singer. His other option, is to study film at Ryerson University in preparation for a career as an actor, director or screenwriter.

“I know that he has the talent,” said his mother. “He’s very conscientious about his studies.”

Every year, Matteo usually enters four music competitions.

“Most times he’s first,” said Alex. “If he doesn’t get first, he gets second.”

Matteo said he looks upon music competitions as cakes.

“The icing and the cherry on top is the exams,” he said. “It mostly turns out as a good cake after all.”

Matteo Belloni-Tempo practices his vocal lessons at home. All his hard work has paid off; the vocalist recently was honoured with his secondstraight gold medal from the Royal Conservatory in a ceremony held in Toronto on Jan. 12.

Arts – A 12-year-old Bridlewood boy has been named the top vocalist for his grade level in Ontario.

Matteo Belloni-Tempo scored the top mark in Ontario and Quebec on his Grade 4 vocalist examination at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto, earning him his second consecutive provincial gold medal.

“I was very happy,” said Matteo, a Grade 7 student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School, who sang three pieces for exam: Non lo diro co labbro, by George Friderik Handel, The Path to the Moon by Eric Thiman and Shenandoah by Luigi Zaninelli.

Matteo received his gold medal at a ceremony at Koerner Hall, in The Royal Conservatory’s Telus Centre for Performance and Learning on Jan. 12. More than 47,000 musical examinations took place last year across Ontario and Quebec.

The examiner who judged Matteo’s singing said she enjoyed hearing the young soprano’s performance.

“She told me it was wonderful to hear me sing,” said Matteo.

Matteo’s parents enrolled him in a vocalist class when the boy was only

six years old.

That he was born to sing is no overstatement, said his mother, Alex Belloni. Alex remembers the day she was driving her car when she heard the sound of humming coming from the back seat, where her 11-month-old son was sitting, strapped into a child safety seat.

“I got home to my husband and said, ‘The baby sings. I swear he was singing.’”

As the boy grew older there were other signs of his musical gifts. When he was two, Alex brought Matteo to an outdoor concert, and the boy started singing, attracting the attention of the musicians, who eventually invited him to perform with them on stage.

“Then he started to sing all the songs from movies: The Lion King, The Sound of Music, he knew them all by heart,” said Alex. “He sings in the shower too.”

Matteo’s parents eventually took the many hints, and enrolled their son in a singing class taught by Judith Vaughn, a Kanata music teacher.

A year later, the boy performed his first opera, Puccini’s Turandot, as a member of the Opera Lyra Ottawa’s children’s chorus.Matteo performed in Christmas and summer concerts

West Ottawa Soccer Club reduces league development participation fees Sports - The West Ottawa Soccer Club announced last week that monthly fees for members of the U13 girls’ and boys’ teams for the inaugural 2014 Ontario Player Development League season have been reduced to $199 per month.

The club had identified player costs to be a potential barrier to participation compounded by the uncertainty around certain league implementation details ahead of the

inaugural 2014 season of this new Ontario Soccer Association player development program.

While the program operations budget (not including transportation) had been forecasted to amount to costs of approximately $3,500-plus per player, the club’s board of directors approved a special 2014 development league registration fee of $2,390, thereby, granting a significant program subsidy to all participating players.

This move was made in light of the rapidly changing Ontario soccer landscape with league as a further catalyst for much needed progress. Not only will program fees for non-league players at the club not increase to cover this subsidy, but the club leadership anticipates significant spin off benefits for its constituents, as result of the club’s development league program.

“All along we have said that becoming an OPDL franchise would be a tide that lifts all

boats within our club, not an elite program supported to the detriment of other programs,” said club president Brian Mason.

As an added bonus, with support made possible by its new club partners from Soccer Express, the club, as the only franchise in Ottawa, will provide a full kit of high quality Adidas apparel to its athletes at no additional costs to the players and their families.

The club’s coaching staff includes Kristina Kiss, a for-

mer Canadian women’s national team player, who is the development league’s U13 girls head coach and David Hannah, a former head coach and player with the Celtic Glasgow, who is head coach of the development league’s U13 boy’s team.

Take extra steps to stay healthy for your getaway News - The holiday season has passed but all that hustle and bustle, as well as the plummeting temperatures, have earned us an overdue vacation.

The last few months may have pushed you astray from your healthy routines, leaving the immune system vulnerable

to attack. Make sure you’re prepared for your travels by keeping fit and by avoiding the disappointment of a last-minute illness.

“Getting into a healthy routine will help all of us enjoy our time off, in addition to maintaining those fitness resolutions,”

said Helen Sherrard, president of the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA). “Once you’re accustomed to eating well, exercising regularly and supplementing your diet with the appropriate natural health products, your quality of life will improve, especially when

you’re away on vacation.”

CHFA suggests that there are many ways to boost your health and prevent illness.

The key is finding a routine that works for you and sticking to it; even when you’re on vacation. A healthy routine can include getting six to eight

hours of sleep, maintaining healthy habits for dealing with stress, limiting your alcohol consumption, and finding time to get some exercise.

Other, more delicious ways of ensuring you stay healthy on your getaway involve foods with natural and organic ingre-

dients.

Choose the healthy option at a restaurant and avoid the temptation of junk food.

For example, you can increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids by consuming fatty fish, like salmon and tuna.

More information is available from your healthcare practitioner or online at chfa.ca.

Sports - Rachel Homan got a workout on Jan. 28 at the Ottawa Sports Awards, getting called up to the stage several times for some big awards.

Homan, originally from Orléans Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold whose family moved to Kanata, took home the top female athlete of the Location_MyriadPro_Bold year honours, and the curling award.

Later, joined byOUTLINED teammates Emma ALL TYPE Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk, Lisa Weagle, she accepted the female team of the year award.

“Ottawa has always been so supportive,” said Homan. “I’m greatful to live in this city.”

It was a similar scene on the men’s side of the major awards.

Basketball winner Philip Scrubb also won the male athlete of the year award, and made a second trip up to the stage along with teammates to accept male team of the year for the Carleton Ravens basketball squad.

The Ravens were male team of the year for the third year in a row.

Scrubb, who hails from Vancouver, also acknowledged the city residents for hometown support.

The Rideau Canoe Club had many athletes at the award, as did the Ottawa Lions, who cheered on Nepean’s Glenroy Gilbert in winning male coach of the year. Gilbert coaches the men’s national 4-by-100-metre relay team.

The Mayor’s Cup for outstanding contribution in sport went to Ed Laverty from the Ottawa Nepean Touch Football League.

The lead coach for the national Paralympic track and field team, Hugh Conlin, won the Brian Kilrea Lifetime Achievement Coaching Award. Because of the strong pro-

gram with the Ottawa Lions, many Paralympic athletes have moved to Ottawa to train with the club and Conlin.

Besides the major awards, all teams and athletes who won provincial or national titles were honoured on stage.

A winner was chosen for every

sport played in the city as well.

“Thank you all,” said Mayor Jim Watson, addressing the athletes, coaches, support staff, families and parents in the audience.

“You are the heart and soul of amateur athletes in the city.”

Kanata Lakes native honoured at Ottawa Sports Awards blair.edwards@metroland.com

Sports – The day of the Ottawa Sports Awards ceremony, Lucinda Nowell was stuck in a car inching along a highway, just outside Picton, Ont. Cars were lined up along the highway as far as the eye could see, as traffic struggled with blowing snow and extreme weather conditions.

But the former Kanata Lakes teenager wasn’t going to allow the weather prevent her from heading home to accept an award honouring her accomplishments over the past decade as a rhythmic gymnast.

The trip represented more than just an award – it was a chance to see her friends from Earl of March Secondary School, and just hang out, like any other normal 17-yearold girl.

“She really misses her friends when she moved to Toronto,” said her mother, Helen.

Surrounded by her parents and grandparents, Lucinda attended the Ottawa Sports Awards banquet on Jan. 29 at Algonquin College.

“It’s really nice to be recognized and everyone that’s helped me along the way is recognized as well,” said Lucinda, who was one of dozens of athletes honoured at the event.

Helen said she was very proud of her daughter.

“She is very deserving,” said Helen. “She’s worked very hard.

It’s been a lot for her over the last few years, so I’m very proud.”

Lucinda has been anything but an average teen, ever since she won the provincial rhythmic gymnastics championship in Toronto in 2011 and later earned a spot on the senior Canadian rhythmic gymnastics

team last May. She first took up the sport at the age of six, when her mother signed her up for a recreational class taught by a woman in Stittsville.

Only a year later, she decided to move into the competitive stream, and tried out for a spot at the Kanata Sportive Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, which trained at Bridlewood Public School’s gymnasium.

“There were some very good girls there, and she was struck by everything they were doing,” said Helen, who eventually volunteered at the club as a communications director.

Dasa Lelli, the club’s head coach,

said she was immediately impressed with the girl’s focus.

“All I could see was determination in this child and amazing family support,” said Lelli. “That usually goes a long way.”

Training time was never wasted with Lucinda.

“When she enters a gym, her one and only thought is, ‘Let’s get the work done.’”

Perhaps her greatest skill was the ability to perform pirouettes, said Lelli.

“She is the gymnast who could turn five to seven times.”

Nowell Ottawa’s only nationallevel rhythmic gymnast Continued from page 33

In 2010, Lucinda made the jump from provincial to national-level competition, which meant training 22 hours a week with Club Rhythmik Quebec, located in Montreal.

It meant adjusting her timetable at Earl of March, allowing her to train in Montreal on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

“It’s not that bad,” said Lucinda. “You don’t really get overwhelmed if you stay on top of everything.”

Victoria Ataol, the head coach of Club Rhythmik, said

she was impressed with Lucinda’s determination to take her gymnastics skills to the next level.

“She worked really hard,” said Ataol, adding she always asked Lucinda to repeat her movements over and over until she had them perfect.

“She was stubborn enough to repeat the same thing a hundred times,” said Ataol. “Even sometimes when crying, she was repeating and repeating.”

The work eventually paid off.

In 2013, Lucinda won a silver medal in the Eastern Regional Championship, with a

first in ribbon, a third in ball and hoop and a fourth in club.

As Ottawa’s only nationallevel rhythmic gymnast, Lucinda placed fourth overall in the senior national category at the 2013 Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Ottawa, earning the second highest score in the clubs event.

Last May, Lucinda earned a spot on the national team, which trains in Toronto, and demanded a whole new level of commitment from the then16 year old.

Together with her family, Lucinda moved to Toronto and enrolled at Leaside High School, where she hopes to graduate this year.

The Grade 12 student balances full-time studies and homework with a 26-hour training schedule with the women’s national team.

“It’s pretty tough,” said Lucinda. “But the school is really close to where I live, so I’m able to go home and get to work really fast on the homework.”

Lucinda Nowell accepts the Ottawa Sports Award for rhythmic gymnastics on Jan. 29 at Algonquin College. She won the silver medal in the clubs at this year’s natioanl championship. The Kanata gymnast now lives in Toronto to train.

Lisbon, Portugal, and Pesaro, Italy, and in September will participate in the rhythmic gymnastics world championship in Izmir, Turkey.

The team will also compete in the Pan Am Championship this August in Toronto, a qualifier for next year’s Pan Am Games, which will also be held in Toronto.

Long term, Lucinda hopes

to remain with the national team.

“We have to keep auditioning every year,” she said. “I’ll try out and hope for the best.”

Lucinda said she plans to attend university next year and study to become a teacher.

Thinking back over her decade-long career as a gymnast, Lucinda said she’s always focused on her day-to-day ac-

complishments.

“I think that sometime you just have to enjoy the small victories, because it can be overwhelming to think of the big picture,” she said. “For me, I just wanted to keep going to see how far I could get.”

The day after she accepted her award, Lucinda was back in the gym in Toronto, practising for her next meet.

Kanata skater finishes in Top 10 at nationals Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Sports - Zoe Gong knows what she wants.

The Kanata-based figure skater hopes to represent Canada on the world stage and she’s

already well on her way.

She finished ninth overall at the Canadian Skating Championship, held earlier this month, in the junior women’s category.

In 2013, Gong won the novice title.

“It was very exciting com-

peting at the Canadian Skating Championship,” said the 16year-old, who represents the Minto Skating Club. “I really enjoyed moving up to this level … It wasn’t a perfect competition, but I’m happy with it as my first year competing in junior.

“Also since the competition took place in my hometown many of my friends came to watch.”

Gong grew up in Kanata

Lakes and attended W. Erskine Johnson Public and Earl of March Secondary schools.

She now trains almost 3,000 kilometres away in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“I moved to train here because there are fantastic coaches and a great training site,” she said. Gong fell in love with the sport after her mother brought her to a free public skate event when she was six years old.

“I took to it right away. I was always trying to race the other kids on the ice, even the ones that were considerably older and in speed skates,” she said.

She was enrolled in classes at the Nepean Skating Club, and her love of the sport blossomed.

“I just loved skating fast and I was naturally competitive,” said Gong.

Between all her training and

competing in the 2014 Canadian Skating Championship, Gong said she’s planning to take some time off to catch up on her schoolwork and rest.

“Then it’s back to training,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the coming year and I hope to better my results at nationals next year.

“My long term goal is to represent Canada at worlds one day.”

LET’S JUST SAY WE LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE WE LOOK BOTH WAYS. Kanata’s Zoe Gong competes in the junior women’s short program competition on Jan. 13 at the Bell Sensplex. Gong, who won the novice title in 2013, moved up to the junior level for the 2014 national championships.

She finished in ninth place overall.

I strenuously stressed that the zoning should match that of Bethune Court to ensure that nearby residents are not overwhelmed by a high-rise building.

Kanata North has many apartment buildings, most in the town centre, and one should not be added in a location that has only low-rise buildings.

Additionally, I have put forward a motion to create a community line to protect the low-density areas of Beaverbrook from new high-rise, high density housing in the future. This should be at Planning Committee on Feb. 11th. Although it will not apply to 1131, since that application has already been made, it will help set the parameters for any future application PROPOSAL FOR NEW SENIORS’ RESIDENCE ON VARLEY – Public Meeting on Feb. 12th at 7 pm at the Beaverbrook Community Centre

Sibling skaters finish second at nationals Duo hope to compete at 2018 Winter Olympics Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Sports - Siblings Melinda and Andrew Meng skated away with silver at the Canadian Skating Championships, held last month.

The brother-sister duo are planning to carry the momentum forward, spending the next four years training to represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics, scheduled to take place in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

“Our long term dream/goal is to go to the Olympics and

win gold for Canada,” said Melinda, 14.

Performing with Andrew, 17, adds a level of ease to training and performing because the two know each other so well.

“For me, performing with my brother is really reassuring because I’m comfortable around him,” said Melinda.

The cost though, is twice as high.

“As a brother-sister team all of our fees are doubled compared to other non-sibling teams, so the bills tend to stack up,” she said.

The two have a goal to raise $10,000 to help fund their dream of performing in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

“We are very thankful for all the help we have received over the years and are very grateful for any additional support,” said Melinda.

The KBCA Executive and I have had a number of meetings on a proposal to erect a seniors’ home on Varley Drive, similar in size and height to the Varley apartment building. A community doctor’s office is also planned within the building. Services provided would also be available to tenants in the existing apartment. The owner will present his concept at this meeting and hear suggestions and comments before making an application for development - so you have an opportunity for input in advance.

NEW SCHOOL SITE CONFUSION – The zoning bylaw for an elementary school on Innovation Drive will be at the Planning Committee on Feb. 11th. The staff recommendation will be available on line by late day on Feb. 4th. Concerns have been expressed about re-zoning the site from business park to school use. Some of these concerns come from Nordion, an industry that has been in the park for nearly 50 years and which uses radio-active materials to make medical isotopes. I have been working with staff and the school board to find a better site, and that is still being actively pursued. In the meantime, the school board has decided to move forward on the site in the business park in case an alternative site cannot be found. I’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

There is better news for the additions to both the Earl of March and South March Public School, as site plans have been submitted and are moving forward towards approval.

Competition fires desire to skate: Meng Continued from page 36

The two performed a short dance – a mix of the foxtrot and quickstep to the Pink Panther theme song and It Don’t Mean a Thing – as well as a free dance.

“Our free dance had an Asian theme and was to music from House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” said Melinda. “I am really thrilled with our silver medal. We had a pretty rough

start to the season and I honestly didn’t expect to finish our season so well, so it was an awesome surprise.”

Although now representing a Montreal skating club, the two started their skating careers with the March Kanata Skating Club.

“I learned how to skate because our parents thought it was important to get lots of physical activity so they put us in pretty much everything to learn basics, like skating

and swimming,” said Melinda, who started lessons at age three.

“One of the things I love about skating is how competitive it is.

Everyone is trying to be better than everybody else; gain the advantage.

I tend to enjoy a competitive atmosphere, be it at school or at the rink, because it really pushes me to be better than I might have thought possible.”

Before moving to Montreal, the Mengs also competed with the Ne-

pean Skating Club and the Rideau Lakes Figure Skating Club.

“We are currently training in Montreal because it is easier to co-ordinate school and skating and make schedules that aren’t completely insane. We also found a coaching team based in Montreal that we enjoy working with where we have gotten good results,” she said. “Right now we have a bit of down time before we start to prepare for the next year and start cho-

reographing new routines.”

After some time off, Melinda and Andrew will be working towards their next goals: a spot in the Junior Grand Prix Final and a chance to compete in the junior worlds.

Comments from Andrew, 17, were unavailable as of the KourierStandard’s deadline.

Sauerkraut was a specialty of Father’s

A

s far as Father was concerned, he was the only one who knew how to properly cook sauerkraut.

He said, getting a dig in at Mother about her heritage which was far removed from his German ancestry, you had to have good German blood running in your veins to turn out edible sauerkraut. I had no idea what blood had to do with it, but I had to admit I liked Father’s sauerkraut better than Mother’s.

It all came from the same barrel, but whatever Father did, when it was ready we all ate it with great gusto.

That is, all except my cousin Ronny who visited regularly from Montreal. He hated sauerkraut regardless who cooked it, and he took to hiding it all through the house, even prying off a bedroom baseboard one time to stash it away. But for the rest of us, when Father worked his magic at the Findlay Oval, there wasn’t a scrap left over for another meal.

After the barrel of shredded cabbage had been allowed to sit in the hot kitchen

MARY COOK Memories until it was well fermented, the barrel was rolled out to the summer kitchen where the innards formed into a solid mass of ice.

For reasons which always escaped me, I was the one who had to go out with the granite basin and an ice pick and hack away until I had enough for a meal. When Father was doing the cooking, I stacked the basin high, knowing full well it would take a heap to fill the big iron fry pan he would be using.

It was bitterly cold in the summer kitchen, so I dressed for the elements, wearing mitts to hold the chisel or ice pick to chip the frozen sauerkraut, bringing it in to Father just before he was ready to

pop it into the fry pan. First he would have fried (in bacon fat, of course) a heaping mound of onions, well laced with black pepper.

I would stand well away from the stove as Father, with his bare hands would scoop up the sauerkraut, slap it into the sizzling pan, as I waited for the whole thing to explode into flames. Of course, it never did, but the hissing was enough to give me concern.

All the time, he would be plugging more wood into the Findlay Oval to keep the stove roaring hot.

Once the frozen sauerkraut melted, he would stir the pan with the big wooden spoon, mixing in the fried onions.

Father never left the stove,

stirring all the time, until the liquid in the pan was gone.

Then he would scoop up heaping tablespoons of butter and plop that on top of the sauerkraut. It too would have to be worked in, until all that was left were the fried onions and sauerkraut which by then had turned a golden brown.

He would shift the big iron fry pan to the back of the stove, on top of the reservoir, and say, “alright, bring your plates,” and we’d line up at the stove while father dished out his special dish. There would be more butter on the table, right beside the spoon holder, and of course, we would scoop up a goodly portion and plop it on top of the sauerkraut, and watch it melt into Father’s wonderful main dinner course.

Of course, there would also have to be meat for this meal.

No supper was ever complete without meat. Often it would be salt pork simmering on the back of the stove in another big fry pan, or Mother would have a cookie sheet of homemade sausages baking in the oven with sliced apples around them.

Father said the apples spoiled the taste of a good sausage. But Mother said if he was going to make German sauerkraut, then she would serve apples with the sausages, since that was a French custom she learned from her own mother.

And so the two nationalities would come together at the Findlay Oval.

long to learn how to stuff ground pork into well-washed skins, get roasts ready for the smoke house, do down a barrel of dill pickles with big cloves of garlic, and help get the cabbage ready for the sauerkraut barrel. It took her much longer to get used to making headcheese and blood pudding. I would be as far away from the kitchen as I

Father never left the stove, stirring all the time, until the liquid in the pan was gone. Then he would scoop up heaping tablespoons of butter and plop that on top of the sauerkraut. It too would have to be worked in.

Even though Mother often tried to duplicate Father’s way of frying the sauerkraut, it never quite tasted the same.

Before Mother moved to the backwoods of Renfrew County to marry a farmer of German heritage, she knew little of the foods Father was used to. It didn’t take her

could get while both were being made, because watching the pork head, and the pan of blood being prepared, turned my stomach inside out. I drew the line over both, and often would settle for a hard-boiled egg instead, while the rest of the family ate up both with gusto.

Minimum wage bump detracts from main issues: finance critic Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - The minimum wage increase detracts from more important economic issues, according to MPP Jack MacLaren and PC finance critic Vic Fedeli.

Together with energy critic Lisa MacLeod, the three spoke before a sparse crowd of a half-dozen supporters at a legion in Kanata on Jan. 28. Two days later the Liberal government raised the minimum wage from $10.25 to $11 per hour, effective June 1.

It also introduced legislation to tie future increases to the rate of inflation.

“It’s all about diverting attention from the real issues,” Fedeli said. “We’ve lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs in this province. We’ve got to do something about hydro (rates). Those are the real issues.”

Fedeli spoke about his party’s One Million Jobs plan, saying it will be obtainable eight years after winning government through reduced corporate taxes, energy rates and red tape. He started by pointing out Ontario’s debt has doubled to $278 billion in the 10 years since Liberals took power. Revenue has climbed to an all time high of $114 billion last year, though government spent about $125 billion.

“Never before have we had that much money to spend,” said Fedeli, the MPP for Nipissing. “The deficit was $9.2 billion last year. It’s forecasted to grow to $11 billion this year. We have a tax and spend government.”

According to the Bank of Canada, growth projections are way off – Ontario won’t make its revenue expectations. That’s where Fedeli inserts a popular analogy: If a family were to bring in less, maybe one parent lost their job, spending would be cut back. Wants and needs would

be separated, with cuts to the former.

“That’s the responsible thing to do.” But the Liberals said they will spend their way out. With a deficit larger than all other provinces put together, they will “pretend” the recession spending is still needed, he added. Rather than raise corporate taxes from 11.5 to 12 per cent, as the Liberals have vowed, the PCs would cut it to 10 per cent.

“You keep lower taxes; that’s how you create jobs.”

Fedeli didn’t address wellknown criticisms of the lower taxes argument, opting to attack Feed-in Tariff (FIT) green energy programs as unaffordable, and the cause of relocations of companies like Caterpillar, Heinz, and Kellogg’s.

“Ontario has gone from one of the lowest cost energy producers to the highest in North America,” Fedeli said.

On government red tape, he knows of even non-profit organizations that continue struggle because of it.

The finance critic’s solutions are to cut corporate taxes to 10 per cent; cancel the FIT program; and reduce red tape by 30 per cent by tying cabinet ministers’ pay to those goals.

QUESTION PERIOD

Although only a handful of supporters were on hand, at least two of those self-identified as PCs were angered by leader Tim Hudak and the party’s inability to capitalize on Liberal scandals. Fedeli, MacLaren and MacLeod were asked repeatedly to cut not just corporate rates but hydro costs. The answer was to eliminate FIT in order to stop future increases.

They were chastised for holding too few “town hall” events instead of $10-a-plate fundraisers. The response was that the governing party has more opportunities to get its message out.

However, the most pointed

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Progressive Conservative Vic Fedeli, centre, who holds the finance critic portfolio, joins west end MPPs Jack MacLaren and Lisa MacLeod at the Kanata legion last week. criticism came from Robert White, who said tax cuts to businesses and attacking unions won’t bring back middle class jobs.

“In terms of an approach, the Liberals will slaughter us,” White said.

“You don’t have a plan. You are stating it. But you don’t have a plan to bring back jobs.”

Another supporter blamed the scandals caused by the federal Conservatives for the lacklustre poll results at the provincial level.

MacLaren, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills, rejected the idea of appealing to unions.

“I don’t think we need to court unions. We have better areas,” MacLaren said.

“Unions are getting smaller in numbers anyway.”

MINIMUM WAGE

Expanding on the PCs assertion that a bump up in the minimum wage serves to deflect attention was Carleton University’s Ian Lee of the Sprott School of Business, who commented in the days following the meeting in Kanata.

He said if the intent is to solve poverty, increasing minimum wage won’t do it because only 20 per cent of those on minimum wage are below the poverty line.

The rest are students living at home or supplementing their incomes. Another way to look it is that 80 per cent of those living in poverty are not working at all. They are on welfare or unemployment insurance or have stopped looking for work.

Lee added that raising the cost of labour means business will find ways to cut labour costs, usually through greater automation. That will increase joblessness among those looking for minimum wage work.

Some employers have said they will pass along increased costs to customers, but Lee didn’t address this.

Proponents of raising minimum wage say it will mean the working poor can contribute more to consumerism, thereby creating more jobs than when profits are pocketed by owners who tend to hold the money.

Lee’s second criticism has to do with “using a pricing solution” to deal with inequality.

He said it is better to educate those in poverty (though he doesn’t pretend there are easy answers to the contributing factors of mental illness, ad-

diction and others.)

“If you don’t get post secondary education you will be in the bottom quintile for the rest of your life,” Lee said.

“The problem is the government is mucking with the price instead of going at up-skilling and re-skilling.”

He points to South Korea in the 1960s as a jurisdiction where a focus on education led to greater employment.

Out west there is a need for more education to keep up with the jobs being created, he added.

He would sooner see a reduction in income taxes and a bump up to other programs to offset low minimum wage pay.

“Do it indirectly though transfers, either a marginal tax credit or negative income tax,” Lee said.

Mayors call for changes to the NCC National Capital Commission is ‘meddling’ in local projects like light rail: Watson Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The frustration Ottawa and Gatineau face from dealing with the National Capital Commission has led to the mayors of both cities to call on the Prime Minister to make changes to the agency.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was joined by Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin at Ottawa city hall on Jan. 29 to announce they were sending a joint letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper calling for changes to the commission’s governance structure. The changes are needed to end the NCC’s stonewalling of projects and processes made by local elected officials, Watson said.

He compared the “democrat deficit” of the NCC to the scandals plaguing the Senate.

“Yes, we are the nation’s capital. It’s a banner we wear with pride, but it doesn’t mean our residents and taxpayers deserve to be shut out of the conversation or pay a premium in their property taxes,” Watson said.

Watson said he and Pedneaud-Jobin agree that the NCC has lost its focus.

Aside from weighing in on major projects like the route for the city’s “Stage 2” lightrail project (which the city hopes to run through 500 metres of NCC land), the commission has a role in many other city initiatives.

Ottawa must consult the NCC if it wants to make

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, left, and Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin met for the first time since Pedneaud-Jobin was elected in November. Their first joint act was to call for changes to the National Capital Commission’s governance structure. changes to city hall. The commission also “feels the need to dictate” details such as what kinds of shrubs the city should plant along Confederation Line, the first leg of the lightrail line, Watson said. Three levels of government are complicated enough already, the mayor said, without the added “intrusion” of another agency on long-term city-building initiatives.

Other municipalities don’t have to deal with another agency “meddling” in their affairs, the letter states, and in most cases, the federal government and its agencies appear to facilitate and expedite local improvements to reflect decisions made by local representatives.

The letter also states that the NCC’s “micromanagement and second guessing” of the city’s long-term plans, particularly for light rail, are incon-

sistent with the commission’s duty to assist in the region’s long-term development.

“We ask the Prime Minister, is this really what the NCC should be focused on?”

Watson said. “We don’t need a fourth level of government.”

The day after the mayors’ press conference, NCC chairman Russell Mills fired back that it’s important for the agency to balance local interests with national interests.

“We are accountable to Canadians, as we should be,” he said. “Anything that would undermine the role of the NCC is unlikely to produce better results. We need to retain that authority to stop bad ideas for federal land like a railroad along the riverfront.”

The NCC only has jurisdiction over about 10 per cent of the land in the capital region, Mills said.

He added that conflict be-

CAT OF THE WEEK AM I YOUR “DESTINY”?

John Baird, the minister in charge of the NCC, was unaware of the proposed letter to the Prime Minister before the two mayors held a news conference on Jan. 29. Watson said he told board the mayors would be meeting to discuss issues, including the NCC. Rick Roth, a spokesman for Baird, said previous governments have dismissed the idea of adding local representation to the commission’s board.

“I think the fact the Prime Minister has had a local minister responsible these last eight years is an enhancement,” he wrote in an email, noting the commission has a “pan-Canadian mandate.”

Watson said he and Pedneaud-Jobin also discussed other common interests and concerns, including: jobs and economic development, tourism, transportation and public transit and the Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2017.

Both mayors agreed to work on the new pedestrian/cycling bridge connecting their two cities at the old Prince of Wales rail bridge, which was proposed in the city’s transportation master plan update last fall.

Co-ordinating on Domtar’s proposed redevelopment of the Chaudière Islands will also be a priority, Watson said.

BRING YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR EXPERTISE Our not for profit corporation (The Innovation Centre @ Bayview Yards) is seeking four to six (4 to 6) additional Directors for its Board to oversee the redevelopment and operation of the c. 1941 Bayview Yards building as a world-class Innovation Centre, maintaining its heritage values.

tween local politicians and the NCC is “just on the surface” and the agency has a deep working relationship with city

staff.

Adding local politicians to the NCC’s board of directors would be a first step to making the commission more accountable and representative of the area it serves, Watson said. He suggested the two mayors would be a natural fit to sit on the NCC’s board.

“I think it would help the NCC,” he said.

“I think they would be given greater credibility by having the elected representatives from the two cities to sit on the board and share information and act as a much more formal liaison than what we have now.”

Increasing the number of local representatives on the commission’s board would make it more accountable, Watson said. Currently, the 14-member board is required to have a majority of eight members from outside the capital region.

“I don’t believe that a visitor from the Northwest Territories or New Brunswick who sits on the board should cast the deciding vote on an important local, municipal issue,” he said.

Local representation on federal boards is the norm on airport and port authorities.

Ottawa deserves that same treatment, the mayor said.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, strange forces seem to be working against you, but fortunately you are prepared for anything that comes your way. Allow for some time to get things settled.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, keep a firm hand on your wallet so you can avoid spending well beyond your means. It is best if you avoid making any impulse purchases in the near future.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, listen carefully when a family member comes to you with some sage advice. Even a seemingly relaxed conversation may prove fruitful.

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

Cancer, you may seem rushed this week, but resist the temptation to go faster than is comfortable for you. Take your time so things are done right the first time.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, you may have so much fun this week that you don’t realize you have been getting work done in the process. Your attitude is even inspiring others around you.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Take a step back when you don’t see eye to eye with a colleague, Virgo. Disagreements can quickly escalate, so keep a level head and take all things into consideration.

Libra, your intuition and ability to work with people closely will make your life much more enjoyable. Make use of these talents as you pursue a new career path.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Falling into a slump just isn’t your style, Scorpio. Even if things don’t seem to be going your way, your attitude and work ethic will make the most of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, playing games with someone can be fun, but don’t let things turn into a serious rivalry. Focus on being lighthearted this week.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, your responsible nature helps those in your care to feel safe and secure. It is good to show others how much they mean to you, and you have been doing it correctly.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Some well-hidden information could come to the surface, and you will have the ability to put it to use, Aquarius. Just don’t let the power go to your head.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, you must deal with a potentially delicate matter in the days to come. Keep a cool head and remain confident.
