EMC News – Canadian rock icon Kim Mitchell is set to headline the Canada Day in Kanata celebration this year.

The event committee landed the big name musician for the July 1 festivities, which will take place at Walter Baker Park.

“He’s a Canadian favourite,” said Diane McNulty, the director of programming for Canada Day in Kanata.

“He’s always in high demand. We’ve tried to get him before.”

Mitchell released his most recent album, “Ain’t Life Amazing,” in 2007 and continues to tour and perform at community festivals and theatres.

He is currently the afternoon host for radio station Q107 in Toronto.

“Canada Day is a family event so you want to cater to families,” said McNulty.

“I think we’re keeping with the tradition of offering very strong identifiable Canadian artists that appeal to a wide demographic.”

Mitchell first hit the Canadian music scene in the 1970s as part of the band Max Webster.

Advocate calls for community stormwater management action Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC News – The City of Ottawa is relying on outdated maps and incomplete stormwater-management research when considering development applications, says a local advocate for improved stormwater-management planning.

It’s up to residents to educate themselves about stormwater management issues in their community – such as ditches clogged with vegetation or culverts too small to handle a major rainstorm – so they can challenge development proposals that increase flooding risks, said Faith Blacquiere.

The Glen Cairn woman delivered a presentation on stormwater management issues during a meeting of the March Rural Community Association on Feb. 8.

But Blacquiere is making a judgement based on the limited resources and documents available to her, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

City planners use updated maps and reports when considering a development application, said Wilkinson.

“They use updated maps, but the updated maps don’t always get on the website,” she said.

City planners also consider outlying

areas which might be affected by a new development, she added.

“They do look at the big picture,” said Wilkinson.

“They might not say that in the report, but they do.”

Wilkinson said she hasn’t had any problems with staff reports on development applications during her two terms on council.

“Any of the new developments in my areas haven’t had problems,” she said.

“The problems have been with the old areas.”

Blacquiere, a retired librarian, doesn’t have an engineer’s degree or formal training in city planning, but said she started to educate herself after a series of floods in her community.

She said she learned how to read technical planning documents, such as hydro-geological reports prepared for the city’s stormwater management studies.

The trick is knowing what to look for, said Blacquiere.

“What I’m looking for is: where is the water supposed to go,” she said. “Look for what they are not saying.”

After her community was hit with three floods over the past two decades, Blacquiere, who walks with a cane, toured her neighbourhood, mapping the location and condition of stormwater management sites and drainage systems.

Blacquiere said she has sent reports raising issues about flooding dangers in Glen Cairn to City of Ottawa staff, but they were returned unread because the data wasn’t first reviewed by an engineer.

If residents suffer a flood or notice a potential flooding risk, it’s up to them to notify both the city and their community association, she said.

“You have to take action within the community,” she told the people gathered at the March Rural Community Association meeting.

Blacquiere’s message res-

onated with Kanata’s rural residents, said Judy Makin, president of the March Rural Community Association.

Blaquiere said she has identified the following problems with the city’s stormwater management planning: • Allowing development and infrastructure on land with vulnerable aquifers.

• Not using new technology for the city’s stormwater management retrofitting and development planning.

• Not considering the effect of beavers on drainage.

• Entombing water courses in culverts.

• Diverting water courses and filling wetlands.

• Ignoring ditch drainage during planning.

• Considering development applications piece-meal without considering wider affected areas.

“What she’s doing is prodding,” said Wilkinson, “and that’s good making sure the city’s doing a good job.”

RURAL WATER CONCERNS

Rural residents have raised concerns about country lot estate developments in Kanata and West Carleton.

The city has placed a moratorium on new development applications for country estate lots until it has a chance to figure out what is a reasonable size for rural development.

Rural residents rely on wells, not city water, said Ma-

kin – and the land’s aquifers can only handle so much drilling to create new wells.

Country estate lots rely on digging a well on two-acre lots, said Makin, when previous practises was spacing out wells on 10-acre lots.

Residents are worried the drilling will hurt water quality, she said.

“I really don’t think the city has the best interest of its citizens in mind.”

GORD HENDERSON COALITION TO PROTECT THE SOUTH MARCH HIGHLANDS

“We’ve raised that concern time and time again,” said Makin. “Those developments have proceeded.”

Gord Henderson, a member of the Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands, delivered a presentation on stormwater management problems with the Beaver Pond development in Kanata Lakes.

The city issued a report last year, which was released to opponents of the Beaver Pond development under the Municipal Freedom of Information Act, disputing a developer’s report on how much stormwater Kizell Pond and the Beaver Pond can hold.

The new report, prepared

by AECOM, contrasted with

information provided by IBI Group, consultants for KNL, a partnership of Urbandale and Richcraft Homes.

AECOM’s report calculated that Kizell Pond could hold about 12,000 cubic metres of water, where the IBI Group’s report estimated capacity at around 86,000 cubic metres.

After that the water would spill over onto Goulbourn Forced Road.

The city has placed a temporary hold on the development.

Beaverbrook has been hit with several floods over the past summer, said Henderson.

Last July, sewage seeped into 40 homes following a rainstorm.

If the city allows the Beaver Pond development to move ahead, the surrounding area will face similar flooding issues, said Henderson.

Recently, community associations in Kanata north, including Kanata Lakes, Beaverbrook and BriarbrookMorgan’s Grant, have formed an umbrella group to lobby against unwanted development in their neighbourhoods.

“We don’t trust the city,” said Henderson. “I really don’t think the city has the best interest of its citizens in mind.”

The March Rural Community Association will hold its next meeting on March 14, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Town Hall in Morgan’s Grant.

Rein in parking during Hoedown: residents Katimavik residents want bylaw enforcement Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC News – Katimavik residents are looking for assurances the city will prevent parking overspill into their community during next summer’s Capital Hoedown Country Music Festival.

“We’re being very careful to insist the bylaw enforcement people looking after parking, and the police, are attending to our concern that it not spill over to our side

streets,” said Rod MacLean, president of the KatimavikHazeldean Community Association. “It’s just that there are some people who don’t really like the prospect of cars parking all over.”

The country music festival will be held at Walter Baker Park, next to the Kanata Recreation Complex, from Aug. 10 to 12.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley has arranged for a bylaw officer to speak to the community association about preparations for the Capital Hoedown.

He said the city will explain how a traffic management plan – now being prepared by Hoedown staff – will work at

a future community association meeting.”

“We’re going to let the experts come up with the plan first and we’ll see (if) that works.”

“I don’t think anyone wants to be a wet blanket,” said MacLean. “At the same time, I

think everyone is entitled to the courtesy of being able to use his home as he or she sees fit.”

The Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association will next meet on March 5, starting at 7:30 p.m. at Katimavik Elementary School.

Ottawa 67’s moving to Scotiabank Place blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC News – The Ottawa 67’s are headed to Kanata.

The Ontario Hockey League club has worked out a deal with the Ottawa Senators, allowing the 67’s to play

two seasons at Scotiabank Place starting this fall, until construction is finished on the Ottawa Civic Centre.

Construction on the Lansdowne Park redevelopment is expected to finish in 2014.

The deal is contingent on

Kanata Creative Kindergarten • Enriched Academic Program • Low Ratio Kindergarten for 4 & 5 year olds • 3, 4 or 5 Half or Full Days per week • Morning English program • Afternoon French Immersion program • Bussing available to schools in Katimavik

Also Pre-JK for 3 year olds

the Lansdowne project, which includes a retrofit of the Civic Centre, clearing a legal challenge from the Lansdowne Park Conservancy, and approval from city council.

Fans from the city’s east end will have to adjust to a longer commute.

“Certainly this is going to be an extra burden to drive further than they’re used to,” said Jeff Hunt, owner of the 67’s. “That was a major worry – the effect this move would have on fans.”

But the only alternative to moving the hockey club was for fans to endure a “virtual war-zone of construction,” at the Civic Centre, Hunt said.

“It’s certainly, I think, the best alternative we would have.”

The hockey club, which attracts roughly 7,000 fans per game, has had great success playing home games at Scotiabank Place in the past, said Hunt.

The 67’s will have to work their at-home schedule around the Senators road trips.

“There won’t be any scheduling conflicts because we quite literally can’t do that,” Hunt said.

“The Sens travel a lot – if they’re down in California for a weekend of games, then we can play at home.”

The move could mean a few changes in the hockey op-

Youth centre addresses suicide with Not Alone! project jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC News – The Kanata Haven Youth Centre has started a new youth-driven initiative to help educate people about mental health and suicide.

The Not Alone! project is a support service for youth in the Kanata area that may be dealing with mental health issues or thoughts of suicide.

“I think that’s important, to let the youth know they’re not alone,” said Diane McNulty, a board member with the Kanata Haven Youth Centre.

McNulty said the centre recognizes a need for services catering to youth, dealing specifically with mental health issues and thoughts of suicide.

“Our centre was once again devastated by the tragic loss of another young person through suicide,” said McNulty about the death of 15-year-old Jamie Hubley, son of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

Jamie’s death came almost one year after Daron Richardson, the 14-year-old daughter of Luke Richardson, an assistant coach of the Ottawa Senators, took her own life.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Canadian youth, surpassed only by accidents.

“Despite many efforts, there is still not enough information about mental illness in Kanata even after the loss of two youth to suicide,” said Jenna Harding, 19, and a member of the Haven, in

an email. “Depression is not the only disease that youth are experiencing and many other illnesses can also lead to thoughts of suicide.”

The Haven asked their youth members to help develop a strategy.

“They found it really disturbing that these kids had nowhere to go,” said McNulty. “(So) we went to the kids and said, ‘What do you think would work?’”

Twelve-year-old Halee McDonald, a member of the Haven, said the Not Alone! program is important so youth feel like they have somewhere to turn.

“I do think this will help a lot,” she said in an email. “I may not know any of the kids personally that have committed suicide but it still hurts a lot. I think, in some cases, it could have been prevented had they just felt like they had somewhere to go.

“I have been depressed but I had somewhere to turn and someone to talk to and my family understood that I needed someone other than them to help get through it.

You can see a doctor or psychiatrist all day but unless you feel like they are there for you and you can trust them, it won’t matter.”

TALK TO A FRIEND

The majority of the youth polled at the Haven said they would talk to a friend first if they were dealing with dark thoughts, as opposed to an au-

thority figure or a stranger on the telephone, said McNulty.

So the centre came up with the Not Alone! project, which aims to create awareness to eliminate the stigma associated with youth mental health and suicide, and to train youth and adults on how to identify those who may have thoughts of suicide, and how to connect those at risk with available resources.

“It’s youth driven,” said McNulty, adding this was not a program developed by adults. “It’s a very grassroots approach.”

Harding said the initiative will not only help to educate youth, but the community at large.

“Educating these youth will greatly benefit them because they will have an understanding of how they are feeling and how they can help themselves,” she said.

“Friends and family members of those suffering from mental illness will also be able to understand how their loved ones are feeling and how they can assist in a crisis.”

The idea behind the project is a “multi-level process” said McNulty, with youth helping youth and adult volunteers helping to provide referrals and resources.

“The Not Alone project works at many different levels because there will be specific training for adults and specific education for youth,” said Harding. “Putting the same information for everyone to see and read just does

A number of youth centre members, including Harding and Halee, plus adult volunteers, will receive training through the Distress Centre of Ottawa on how to provide emergency aid to youth at risk ** of suicide.

“They (the youth) wanted cc to educate themselves on what to do, what to say, and

what not to do or say,” said McNulty. “The more knowledge you have, the more powerful you feel.”

The Haven was recently awarded a grant through the City of Ottawa’s community project funding to help get the initiative off the ground. She added the project is still looking for additional funding in ++ as many volunorder to train teers as possible.

McNulty said she’s hoping to have the project kick off in April of this year and begin training youth and adult volunteers soon.

Headliner Mitchell a part of ‘Canadian music culture’: McNulty MITCHELL, from 1

‘REALLY EXCITED’

With classic hit songs like “Patio Lanterns” and “Rock N Roll Duty,” Mitchell is recognized across the generations, said McNulty.

“His songs are timeless,” she said.

“He’s the type of performer you go back to see because he’s just that good. He’s that entertaining.”

The Juno award-winning artist said in a press release his biggest achievement is entertaining the crowds.

“Being able to take people to a special place, through our performance and music; when that happens, I’ve accomplished what I set out to do,” he said.

McNulty, also a board member with the Kanata Haven Youth Centre, and the youth group have been volunteering their time for the Canada Day in Kanata event for the past seven years.

The volunteers from the Haven have a chance to learn how an entire festival is run and take part in the steps that make Canada Day in Kanata possible.

“The kids learn the whole process,” said McNulty. “It’s really important because it’s not just a concert.”

Getting a chance to work backstage with the bands is an added bo-

nus, said McNulty.

McNulty will be putting out a call for local youth bands to audition for a chance to open for Mitchell on Canada Day. “It’s going to be good,” she said.

“We’re all really excited and really happy. He’s an unbelievable showman.”

Last year, about 30,000 people attended the Canada Day in Kanata celebrations with headliner Sloan, and McNulty said she’s expecting the same number of attendees for 2012.

“I look forward to Canada Day every year but I really like Kim Mitchell,” said McNulty. “He’s part of Canadian music culture.”

Canadian rock icon Kim Mitchell is headlining the Canada Day in Kanata celebration this year.

lar case I think it could just be misinterpretation, not only from our side but also from the (OMB) adjudicator’s side.”

The current OMB hearing on the urban boundary is ongoing and expected to take another couple of weeks.

When it’s over, the board will have ruled on a final interpretation of how much and where lands should be added to the urban boundary.

“We had decided to have it in the urban area and had approved it at council,” said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson. “I don’t know why the OMB didn’t take that view, because in fact what they’ve done is made it more than 850 hectares by their interpretation.”

The OMB would have full authority to decide how much and which lands to add.

Wider sidewalks and shared bicycle and vehicle ‘sharrow’ lanes will make this section of Rideau Street, seen here at King Edward Avenue, a friendlier place for pedestrians and cyclists, says Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

Rideau Street to get wider sidewalks Laura Mueller

There is also a piece of land between Terry Fox and Huntmar drives that is high on the list, Wilkinson said.

“There could possibly be some lands in my ward that could become part of the new urban boundary,” Qadri said.

“It is unfortunate, but sometimes these things happen,” Wilkinson said. “I’ll just wait to see what they come out with as the decision and deal with it at that stage.

That’s what’s going to be really important.”

EMC News – The City of Ottawa is set to bury hydro lines on Rideau Street this summer, despite recently approving a policy that says the city won’t pay the to remove hydro poles as a standard practice.

Rideau will be reconstructed from Dalhousie Street to Chapel Street starting in April, with much of the work set to be done before Canada Day. When it’s done, it will, “look as nice as Preston and Bank (streets),” said RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

The work will include widening the sidewalks along much of the street, in some cases by up to 30 per cent.

“Sharrows,” or arrows marking shared bicycle and vehicle lanes, will be added, with the goal of making Rideau a more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly environment, Fleury said.

Despite a city policy that says hydro wires can’t be buried underground unless local businesses, developers and residents pay for it, the Rideau project will bury the remaining above-ground hydro wires on the south side of Rideau between King Edward and Wurtemburg.

It’s a special case, Fleury said. In that area, the sidewalk must be narrowed slightly, meaning the hydro poles have to be moved or else they would be on the street. The poles can’t be relocated further into the sidewalk because there wouldn’t be enough room for sidewalk snow plows to get through, so the only solution left is to remove the poles altogether, he said.

The project could also mean some changes to troublesome intersections along Rideau, as recommended in the Rideau area transportation network study, Fleury said.

The most major of those changes could be adding twoway traffic to Cumberland between George and Rideau, which would provide another exit from the Byward Market.

That could also include the addition of a cycling lane south of Rideau to allow cyclists to

safely exit the Byward market area via Cumberland.

A consultant will advise on those possibilities in the coming weeks.

Where possible, the city will trade left-turn lanes for wider sidewalks, but that’s not the case at Nelson Street – a situation that has local community associations upset.

Transportation engineers have the final say, and they decided the left-turn lane northbound off Rideau Street will still be needed, so sidewalks in that section cannot be widened – in fact, the sidewalks will be narrower in order to accommodate the sharrow lane.

But John Verbaas, who deals with transportation issues for community group Action Sandy Hill, said an engineer’s report supports the community’s preference to lose the turning lane at Nelson in favour of wider sidewalks.

Wider sidewalks are an important building block to create a more welcoming area for pedestrians, Verbaas said.

EMC News – A difference of opinion over an Ontario Municipal Board ruling could force the city to add another 163 hectares to the urban boundary.

The city has already been ordered to add 850 hectares to the developable area on the city’s outskirts, and it has been locked in OMB hearings for a couple of years as developers appeal the process by trying to have more area added inside the boundary.

On Feb. 8, a realization during the latest OMB hearing sent city lawyers scrambling.

The issue, said Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, is that the city’s lawyers and the OMB have different interpretations of the last ruling.

The city’s lawyers thought the 850 hectares included 163 hectares of land between Stittsville and Kanata that the city already planned to allow to be developed.

The problem is that the OMB member who made the ruling thought otherwise.

Norman Jackson, an OMB member who was part of the decision that ordered the 850-hectare expansion, assumed the Stittsville/Kanata lands would be added on top of the 163 hectares the city planned to include anyway.

The revelation means the OMB could decide to require the city to expand the urban boundary by an extra 163 hectares, Qadri said.

“I think everybody is surprised,” Qadri said.

Qadri said the confusion wasn’t due to an error on either the city lawyer’s or the OMB members’ parts.

“As our professionals that are here at city hall, I think they do their best to provide us with good information,” Qadri said. “In this particu-

“It’s entirely in their hands,” Wilkinson said.

“They could decide someplace totally different. They don’t have to use our list.”

If the OMB does consult the list of parcels the city had rated for inclusion in the urban boundary, a section at the north end of March Road would be a likely choice to include, Wilkinson said.

“It’s quite possible they’d pick something there, because it was a pretty high rating,” she said.

Light rail contract should pay off for taxpayers O

ttawa taxpayers are about to invest $2.1 billion in light rail.

For all that cash, it would be nice to see benefits beyond rails and stations.

City council cannot build in contract provisions that see the light-rail builders required to buy supplies locally and use local service providers because of the provincial Discriminatory Business Practice Act. Requiring local purchasing

could benefit the local economy, and in a cycle of spending, would provide spin-off benefits to the taxpayers footing the bill.

The potential opportunities are staggering. While Ottawa may not be home to the steel mills needed to forge the actual rails, local companies could provide legal and financial services, supply electrical systems and install them, and pour the concrete for tunnels and overpasses. Each of those

local companies would in turn need to contract with local services and suppliers.

And this is no fly-by-night project. The light-rail system will take years to build, meaning the jobs and investment would be around for a considerable period of time.

While the province bars any contract provision that discriminates based on the “geographic location� of a business, the city is trying to get local companies linked up

with the light-rail consortia.

The city took a first step in the right direction by organizing a trade show on Feb. 9 so local businesses could meet with the companies most likely to carry out construction.

Coun. Steve Desroches said the city was acting as “matchmaker� between the sellers and buyers.

With more than $2 billion on the line, a more formal process is needed if we don’t want most of the spending to

head out of town on a rail.

If there are no contractual requirements to “buy local,� you can be sure the winning bidders will try and maximize their profits by buying the least expensive goods possible.

That may mean companies from elsewhere in Canada, or internationally, will receive cheques while local businesses are left behind at the station, so to speak.

If we can’t write a requirement into the contract, the

city can make its preferences clearly known to the winning bidders.

No one is advocating “buy local� at any cost, but if an Ottawa-based supplier can come close – say within 10 per cent of the outsider’s price – then the rail contractors should play favourites and purchase the local goods or services.

The city needs to sign, seal and deliver a contract that pays off for the winning bidders and pays off for taxpayers too.

Crisis? What crisis?

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

hat was an amazing photo in the paper, showing a long string of buses backed up on the Transitway, while police and OC Transpo people tried to sort out the mess after a crash of two buses during rush hour.

You look at it and empathize immediately – with the people who were injured but also with the people on those other buses. Because you can picture yourself in there, waiting helplessly, wanting to get home. Or out in the cold, waiting for another bus while traffic piles up on Scott Street.

Perhaps you can picture yourself angry, yelling at somebody to do something.

The interesting thing is that people didn’t seem to be yelling at anybody. The passengers interviewed by local media were the opposite of angry. “It sucks but at the same time accidents are going to happen regardless so you just got to grin and bear it,� one guy told the Citizen, as he waited for another bus. “There’s not much to complain about,� said another. “It happens, right?� “Some people were getting a bit frustrated but most people were pretty calm about it,� a woman told CTV Ottawa.

That calmness did not apply to the comments section of news websites, where many people used the occasion to vent spleen about OC Transpo.

But they weren’t there when it happened – and they wouldn’t have been helpful if they were.

What matters is that the people in the middle of the crisis seemed patient and accepting.

Canadians are sometimes mocked for having these qualities – as contrasted to the more

assertive Americans – but they serve us well in times of stress. It’s true that orderliness, some say meekness, is not a characteristic that makes for exciting movies, but those people are the ones you want around you when things fall apart.

I remember a brief power outage in June when the traffic lights went out at the corner of Carling and Woodroffe. That’s four lanes in either direction having to move through the intersection with no policeman in sight – at rush hour.

In a different country, known more for its individualism, it would have been a festival of hornhonking, aggressive driving and crushed fenders.

Here, it was a spontaneously orchestrated ballet of cars taking turns.

No fenders were crushed. Now, afterwards, when the crisis had passed there might have been recriminations in letters to the editor, on websites and open-line radio, but when the situation demanded it, calmness was the order of the day.

Those who were around during the Ice Storm of 1998 will remember that too. Once the crisis had passed and we knew we would survive and get our toasters working again, some people began to complain.

Yet, when the crisis was on, we were patient, we worked together, co-operated, helped other people and generally acted like a real community.

This is the enduring memory of that period and it is an accurate one. The bitching came later and we don’t think of that so much.

It would be nice to think that a crisis always brings out the best in us. It’s probably more accurate to say that it brings out the best in some of us and something less than the best in others.

You have only to look at the recent Italian cruise ship disaster to see vivid examples of both types of behaviour.

On a more everyday level, think about what happens when a flight is cancelled. Some people get on with their lives as best they can. Other people yell at the person behind the counter. Those are the ones you don’t want behind you at Carling and Woodroffe.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri showed off his freshly shaved head alongside a Shave for the Cure volunteer during last year’s event. Qadri will be joined by two more councillors this year for the fundraiser for childhood cancer research.

Councillors to go cue-ball for children’s cancer research laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC News – There will be a few naked scalps around the council horseshoe by the end of the month after three councillors signed on to the Shave for a Cure, an annual fundraiser that supports research of childhood cancers.

The addition of councillors Keith Egli (KnoxdaleMerivale) and Tim Tierney (Beacon Hill-Cyrville) to the Shave for a Cure fundraiser is a small comfort to Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who was the only city councillor to go bald for the cause last year.

It wasn’t the first time Qadri shaved his head in the name of charity – the 2012 event will mark the sixth time he has gone bald for a fundraiser.

His first foray into the

world of fundraising for childhood cancers was following the death of Tori Carswell, a young Stittsville girl who died of neuroblastoma in 2004 and in whose memory Tori’s Helping Hand charity was established in 2005.

Qadri was approached by University of Ottawa medical students to participate in the Shave for a Cure last year, and he didn’t hesitate.

He raised $850 last year, beating his goal of $750, the same goal he’ll try to repeat this year.

Having a hairless dome is much different in the winter than it is in the summer, Qadri said.

“Not that I have a lot of hair to begin with,” he joked.

It will be the first time Egli has his head shaved, and he

said his wife is not looking forward to his new look.

“She says it’s a preview of what’s to come,” he said.

The cause is an important one, Egli said.

“Cancer touches us all,” he said.

“Let’s face it – hair grows back,” Tierney added.

To donate to one of the councillors’ campaigns, go to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation website, www.stbaldricks.org, click on “make a donation” and search for the councillor’s name.

The shaving event will take place on Friday, Feb. 24 at the Civic Centre at Lansdowne Park before the puck drops for the Ottawa 67’s-Barrie Colts game at 7:30 p.m. It is the ninth-annual Shave for the Cure.

‘It’s just another way of helping children fight this disease’ Students going bald to fight childhood cancer Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC News – University students are going bare in an effort to raise funds to fight childhood cancers.

The University of Ottawa’s faculty of medicine is hosting its ninth annual Shave for a Cure event on Friday, Feb. 24, during the Ottawa 67’s game at Lansdowne Park.

Students are challenging the public to brave the cold weather and shave their heads – or lop off 10 inches of hair – for Smiling Over Sickness, a volunteer-based non-profit organization run by the medical students at the university.

Jason’s

The organization has partnered with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to fundraise for Childhood Cancer Canada.

“It helps the sick children and that’s one of the reasons I got involved,” said volunteer Noor Amily, a second-year medical student at the university.

“This kind of research is really important because it opens the eyes of the community to the importance of pediatric research.”

Amily won’t be shaving her head or chopping off her hair but she will be helping run the event.

“There are other options

you can do if you don’t want to shave your head,” said the 24-year-old Morgan’s Grant resident.

“It’s just another way of helping children fight this disease.”

Amily will help to organize the games and activities during the hockey game’s intermission, including face painting and ring toss, as well as a silent auction.

The students are hoping to raise $60,000 to contribute to pediatric cancer research.

“It’s been great because last year we raised over $60,000 and we’re aiming for the same thing this year,” said Amily.

“We want Shave for a Cure to keep growing,” said Bradley Sarak, a medical student and the event’s co-organizer.

“We want everyone to crave the shave.”

Other ways to get involved in the fundraising effort include: • Purchasing a ticket for the Ottawa 67’s game for Feb. 24 through the Shave for a Cure website before Feb. 20.

• Bidding in the silent auction on site at Lansdowne on Feb. 24.

• Donating online.

Proceeds from tickets bought through the event website are donated. The puck

drops at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s a fun event and at the same time it’s beneficial,” said Amily.

All donations collected through the University of Ottawa’s Shave for a Cure event remain in Canada and go towards funding childhood cancer research.

Childhood cancers affect hundreds of families each year. According to the Childhood Cancer Canada website: • About 1,500 new cases of childhood cancers are diagnosed every year.

• There are around 10,000 children living with cancer in Canada today.

• About 78 per cent of these children will survive five years or more because of advances in therapy – an increase of almost 46

per cent since the 1960s.

• About one in four children who are diagnosed with cancer will die of the disease.

• In the 1950s, less than 10 per cent of childhood cancer patients could be cured.

• The most common childhood cancers are leukemias, tumours of the brain and nervous system, the lymphatic system, kidneys, bones and muscles.

• Childhood cancers have close to a 75 per cent cure rate.

The River Ward councillor made the request just before city council approved its new five-year arts plan, which included a proposal to create an independent board to approve naming things such as roads and parks after people.

Heritage advocates have been calling for a strengthened approach to commemo-

rative naming after highly politicized attempts to name Ottawa landmarks in the last year – first, the renaming of parts of Richmond and Robertson roads in Bells Corners to Lloyd Francis Boulevard, and then the suggestion to name the new city archive after former mayor Charlotte Whitton.

Both proposals were jettisoned following public outcry.

The arts plan proposed a new commemorative naming policy that would be overseen by an arms-length board and included more citizen engagement in the process.

But it wasn’t until just before council was set to approve the arts plan that McRae received clarification that the proposed board would include citizens and heritage authorities – but not members of council.

“Members of council, who are the only people accountable to their residents, deserve to be a part of this,” McRae said. “We should never be excluding elected officials

yourottawaregion.com connecting your communities

from having a position on something that matters to our residents, because we are accountable to them and they are the ones that elect us.”

McRae’s amendment asks the city’s governance renewal committee to look at that portion of the proposed policy.

That will be a quicker way to put the new commemorative naming plan into action if it’s needed, McRae said.

“I am a firm believer that if the system’s not broken, we don’t need to fix it,” she said.

“And if we would stick to our commemorative process and not go around it, it would work.”

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who came under fire for his Lloyd Francis Boulevard proposal, mistakenly registered his dissent on McRae’s idea, but he said in an interview that he supports her idea.

“Just because something becomes controversial, isn’t a good enough reason for council to hand off the decision making to someone else,” Chiarelli said.

West Carleton Skating Club brings Grease to life theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC Events – Members of the West Carleton Skating Club have been hard at work rehearsing for their upcoming ice show.

The club will be bringing the hit musical “Grease” to life on ice at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena in Carp on Sunday, Feb. 26.

The show will feature characters made famous in the 1950s-set musical about high school love.

They will include Danny Zuko, Sandy Olsen, Betty

Rizzo, Kenickie, the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies, to name a few.

“We are so excited for the show this year,” said skating club president Robin Gyimesi. “We have 324 members at our club this year and will be expecting about 180 to participate in the show.”

The ice show is being coordinated by Debra Barrett and she said all the hard work by skaters will pay off.

“The audience will enjoy performances from solos to group numbers demonstrating all levels of skaters at our

club,” Barrett said. “Our skaters range in age from three to 17, beginning with our little Tiny Tots and Canskaters to our Starskate program with Special Juniors up to our more experienced senior skaters. This is a show not to miss.”

The West Carleton Skating Club is committed to the development of skaters of all ages.

The club offers learn-toskate programs for children, teens, and even adults, and programs for more advanced skaters up to Gold Level test-

EMC News – The Alive to Strive Kidney Fitness Project is proud to announce the launch of Ottawa’s first fitness and weight loss grant program.

The organization has $8,500 available for Ottawa hospital patients living with chronic kidney disease.

Alive to Strive, founded in 2010, is committed to helping those living with chronic kidney disease maintain a healthy lifestyle. Those living with chronic kidney disease are at risk of developing diabetes and

high blood pressure, which are avoidable with increased activity and weight loss.

“The Alive to Strive Kidney Fitness Project is really a front-line organization working directly with those living with kidney disease to encourage better health and provide a supportive network,” said director Marie-Eve Chainey. “Unfortunately, many dialysis patients live relatively sedentary lives.

Our program will help them set and reach customized fitness goals and connect with others.”

Chamber announces finalists for business awards Theresa Fritz

Last year, Bin 790 Tapas & Wine Bar won for Best Restaurant – Kanata at the Kanata Chamber of Commerce People’s Choice Business Awards.

EMC News – And the winners are?

Members of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce will have to wait until later this month to find out who will be taking home the hardware from the 13th annual People’s Choice Business Awards.

While the finalists have been unveiled, the winners of the awards honouring the best and brightest in business will not be announced until the gala event Feb. 23 at the

Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata.

Winners will be representing businesses from Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton.

“As human beings it’s often a little harder for us to stop and thank and recognize people, and I think this is a great way to do that,” said chamber general manager Rosemary Leu. This year, there were a record number of nominees and votes right across the board.

“The response was absolutely incredible,” said Leu.

“Last year, we had a record number of votes. We had 10,000 votes. This year, we had just over 13,500 votes and close to 280 nominees.”

The People’s Choice Business Awards is an award ceremony for the people to recognize businesses and industry people for the services they provide to the community.

“This (record number of votes) shows people are really getting behind the businesses,” Leu said.

Kanata finalists in the following award categories include: Community Support Non-Profit Organization:

• Capital City Condors • Furniture Bank of Ottawa • Kanata Food Cupboard • TIPES (Thinking in Pictures Educational Services) • Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre Tourism Business:

• Brookstreet • Country Inn & Suites Kanata • Holiday Inn & Suites Ottawa Kanata • Ottawa Senators Hockey Club • Scotiabank Place Health and Wellness Business:

NICK KARADZA Real Estate Author and broker A real estate brokerage has been helping investors profit from investing in nice homes by offering a free real estate report entitled, “How to Make $112,284 Each & Every Year Investing in Real Estate without Touching a Screwdriver” According to Sharon, who purchased three investment properties with-in two months after receiving the report: “It’s my opinion, that anyone who is interested in investing in real estate should request a copy of this report.

This report provides beginners or experienced investors information on a system that will help them succeed in investing in real estate.”

In this report, you actually get to see local investors who used this system to change their lives.

One of those investors is a couple named Paul and Maja. According to the couple, “We started investing in properties using the strategy outlined in this free report in the fall of 2011.

We accumulated 2 homes in less than

four weeks that combined are paying us just under $1,100 of cash flow each and every month. Plus we have locked in more than $112,557 of profit’’.

The couple stated that the homes they invested in were “in move” in condition so they didn’t have to spend their evenings and weekends fixing up homes.

Paul and Maja liked this approach because it didn’t require them to have the financial risk of having to pay the mortgage, taxes and insurance costs for a property during a rehab project.

The approach seems to be working because they are planning to leave their high paying jobs! To get a copy of the same FREE report Sharon, Paul and Maja used to begin their real estate investing, call the Ottawa Real Estate Information Center at 613-6992036 and enter ID 2.

From the early 1990s to the beginning of this century, “bigger is better” certainly was the mantra of the home-building industry. All across North America buyers could browse among home developments boasting homes of 3,000 square feet or larger and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. But according to new data, home buyers are seeking less space today but more in green amenities.

Research by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association has found that many people now desire smaller homes with multipurpose rooms and energy saving features. They’re not ready to trade in their two- and three-car garages just yet, though. Plus, a survey of International Furnishings and Design Association members forecasts that McMansions will become a thing of the past and more emphasis will be placed on smaller, more eco-friendly homes. Family rooms will grow larger, as will kitchens.

Other rooms in the home will disappear, including the living room.

Many homeowners and potential home buyers realize that with girth comes a cost.

In today’s fragile economy, the ability to cash in on the dream of homeownership may come at the compromise of a smaller, better-planned home.

According to Tim Bailey, the manager of Avid Canada, a research and consulting firm for the building industry, “While many consumers are willing to forgo space, they are not equating this with having to forfeit functionality. Design creativity is requisite to adapt to this changing preference.”

Here are some things that you will and will not find in newer homes moving forward. * The dining room is becoming extinct, with larger, eat-inkitchen/entertaining spaces the norm. The kitchen will be the main room of the home and be renamed the “kitchen lounge.” * Separate rooms are evolving into spaces that serve many different purposes. * Although the sizes of bathrooms may be scaled back, the amenities will not. Spa-style bathrooms with luxurious products, high-tech features and televisions will be on the rise. * The master bedroom suite may not shrink in size, but it could be combined to form a home office and exercise space. * Expect to see more hightech offerings, such as voiceor motion-activation devices in the home. Lighting, entertainment gear, heating/cooling systems, and even blinds could be hooked up to a master control system. * Thanks to an increasing number of people working from home, the presence of a dedicated home office is a given in newer homes. Nearly 40 percent of industry forecasters say that they expect one in every home.

How to find the right neighbourhood to purchase your home EMC Business – Location, location, location. That adage has stood the test of time and any realtor will tell clients that where they buy their home can be as important as how big it is, what it looks like and how much it costs.

Develop a list of “needs” and “wants” and try to match those up with the budget.

Here are some of the questions you will need to ask yourself to make your search easier.

1. What type of home are

you looking for? If you want a larger home, you may need to look at the suburbs. If you want a big property with room to move around, you may need to consider a rural community. If you prefer the urban lifestyle, perhaps a downtown

condo is more to your taste.

2. Do you need to be close to your workplace or are you willing to commute?

3. What is your main mode of transportation? Do you need easy access to public transportation or would you

like to be able to walk to the corner store?

4. Do you need to be close to a major hospital, school or place of worship?

5. What activities are you involved in? Do you want the quieter lifestyle of a rural set-

ting or do you prefer the action of a larger city?

This exercise will help the homeowners zero in on the neighbourhoods they might like to live in and eliminate the ones that don’t meet their criteria.

Emerald Meadows * Mature Couple or Retiring-Adult lifestyle complex * Gorgeous-6 years new * 3 bed, 3 baths, double garage

* Home storage solutions will also be a vital component of new homes. Builders will create clever solutions for mixing storage into more compact spaces. * With aging Baby Boomers comprising a larger segment of home buyers, expect to see more one-level homes, or at least homes where there is a master suite and the majority of the living space on the first level.

Part of what is driving this trend is the cost of homes in relation to space and the increased interest in environmental conservation. Smaller, more efficient homes require less in terms of heating and cooling energy. They need less furniture, and new materials made from sustainable products help further fuel green initiatives in the building industry. Energy efficient homes are a main priority for buyers. Although the homes may be smaller, they will not be miniscule. And home buyers can expect a host of amenities that will make the smaller size of homes barely perceptible.

Katimavik woman set for 20th Duathlon

Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC Sports – Jane Armstrong is preparing to compete in her 20th Duathlon World Championship with Team Canada this September.

The world record holder for number of consecutive finishes in the run-bike-run competitions has begun training for the event, which will take place in Nancy, France.

“I just kept doing it year after year,” said Armstrong.

“I’m passionate about it. Being on the Canadian national team, there’s so much pride involved.”

The 57-year-old Katimavik woman almost didn’t become the record holder after a foot injury sidelined her for a number of months in 2008.

A pep talk from friend and mentor Mike McCarthy, who was the previous world record holder for Team USA, kept her on track.

“He said, ‘Jane you can’t quit now. There are people waiting quietly for you to fail,’” Armstrong said. “That motivated me to keep going.”

She competed in the championship race in Italy that year taking the record title, which was “bittersweet,” she said.

“I took over the lead from a friend…a supporter,” said Armstrong. “I didn’t want to be in that position. I respect the other athletes.

“It was emotional.”

However, she plans to keep competing for as long as possible.

“As long as I have my health and my motivation,” said Armstrong, who runs her own coaching business, Personal Excellence. “As long as I can keep the passion alive for duathlons I will keep competing.

“I’m competitive by nature but that’s not the only reason I race; it’s the journey.”

MEMORABLE

Armstrong’s journey has been filled with ups and downs

– she has participated in over 300 races and more than 100 duathlon competitions.

The memory that stands out the most for her was the 2010 world duathlon championship in Edinburgh, Scotland. On her way to compete overseas, her mother passed away.

“It was the most memorable and the most meaningful,” said Armstrong. “It was a very challenging year in my personal life.”

With Scottish roots, her mother had been excited Armstrong would compete in Scotland.

So a daughter set out to race for her mother.

“Even though I was grieving her loss I smiled throughout the race and dug deep,” said Armstrong.

Her motto for that race was “embrace life.”

Her worst memory is from the 2003 world duathlon in Switzerland.

A chilly day, weather forecast had called for the weather to warm up significantly so many of the competitors showed up in shorts and racing tanks. Instead, it began to rain, which turned to a “torrential downpour” and the temperatures plummeted.

Armstrong suffered hypothermia, losing the feeling in her hands and legs, and was unsure if she would be able to finish.

“I remember being on the bike and seeing that my legs were shaking,” she said. “I lost the feeling in my hands … I didn’t know how I was

“All you can control is your own performance.”

Jane Armstrong

going to run, I couldn’t feel my legs.

“That was a tough one for me to turn around.”

However, after taking the first handful of strides, she warmed up enough to complete the duathlon.

As soon as she crossed the finish line Armstrong beelined it to the medical tent, where she found out around one third of the women competing had dropped out.

MIND TRICKS

She said positive thinking is one of the most important tactics for any athlete to mas-

ter.

“The mental side is huge,” said Armstrong. “You can’t excel … if you don’t have mental skills.

“It’s important to acknowledge mini goals. The body listens to the directives of the mind.”

During the championships in Switzerland, Armstrong said all she could think about was curling up on the side of the road with a blanket and a bowl of hot soup.

“That’s so unlike me,” she said. She managed to turn her thinking to more positive thoughts and was able to complete the race because of them.

“You can’t control your competition … you can’t control the weather,” she said.

“All you can control is your own performance.”

Her livingroom is set up for winter training, with posters from duathlon competitions from around the world lining the walls.

Her treadmill is up against the wall, facing a television.

Her racing bike is beside the sliding doors to her backyard,

bolted to a motor and CompuTrainer, which is hooked up to her laptop to monitor her heart rate, power, speed and cadence. A workout mat is on the floor.

All this helps her to keep fit and in shape during the winter months, when outside training can be difficult.

Armstrong’s regime includes biking, running and yoga three times a week plus weight training, building in difficulty, length and intensity.

In May, she beings racing in local events.

Armstrong credits her support team, chiropractor, mechanic, teammates and the athletes she coaches for keeping her motivated.

“I couldn’t do this without them,” she said. “There’s a real camaraderie, that’s what I love about it.”

Her personal philosophy: “Do the best you can with what you have,” something she said she tries to apply to every aspect of her life.

“That takes a lot of the pressure off,” she said. “It’s working with what you have.”

Fish license-free this family day long weekend Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC News – If you’ve ever dreamed of reeling in a record fish, this is your chance.

All Canadian residents are invited to grab a pole and start fishing during the annual license-free long weekend Feb. 18 to 20.

Throughout the province’s Family Day weekend, Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources has waived the need for a fishing license to allow people to try fishing without having to drop a lot of cash on an Outdoors Card.

The freebie weekend applies only to Canadian residents, and anglers must stick

to the conservation limits outlined for their area.

Alesha Caldwell with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters administers the program, which encourages communities to host events to take advantage of the licensefree weekend and teach residents about the sport.

She said the weekend, along with a license-free week in July, is useful to get new anglers started.

“In general to be able to get involved in a sport you need a kick starter like getting a family member to take you out. So having license-free opportunities reduces that barrier to get you out,” she said.

Especially in the winter, fishing is a very accessible sport to get into, Caldwell said.

“You’re not casting, you’re just fishing in a hole. So for ice fishing you just need a hook, rod and a line,” she said, laughing that sometimes a stick with a string and pieces of hot dog can catch more than her fancy equipment.

Even a hut isn’t necessary, she said.

“You don’t need a hut. They are available, you can go to your local bait and tackle shop to see if they rent them. But all you need is a bucket to sit on,” she said. Augers for drilling into the ice are also reasonably priced, she said, and are available for rent as well.

Caldwell said newcomers to the sport should consider taking a more experienced angler with them onto the ice, to offer tips and guidance.

However if someone wants

to take advantage of the license-free weekend without a fisherman friend, Caldwell suggested talking to the locals to make sure the ice is safe and perhaps recruiting someone to help drill the hole.

“The ice should have four inches of good, clear ice” on top, she advised, noting that cloudy or white ice has air pockets and may be less stable.

Gearing up for the weekend, Caldwell has overseen the organization of countless fishing events across the province, including three in the Ottawa area.

On Saturday, Feb. 18 the Ottawa Region Walleye League will host its third annual Kids Ice Fishing Event on Constance Lake in Ottawa’s west end.

From 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. kids can try their hand at ice fishing alongside experienced anglers. League members will

drill holes and provide fishing equipment and bait if needed and lunch is included.

In Renfrew, the Castleford 7th Annual Ice Fishing Derby will take place on the Ottawa River from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Feb. 18. The charity derby attracts hundreds of anglers young and old every year, and this year will raise money for Renfrew and Arnprior Community Living.

In Ottawa proper, the Catholic Centre for Immigrants will host an ice fishing fundraiser on Monday, Feb. 20 for their annual Community Cup soccer tournament. For $10, residents can enjoy a hot lunch, hot chocolate and access to bait and rods. The group will also drill the fishing holes and provide a warm shack for the anglers. The group will meet on the Ottawa River between Masson-Angers, Quebec and Cumberland, Ontario east of

Ottawa.

Two buses will be available to take participants to the site, leaving from the centre’s headquarters on Argyle as well as Catherine Street. The group is asking for a $5 donation to take the bus.

The ministry’s fishing zone 15 includes Renfrew and Arnprior, and extends to Pembroke and Petawawa. Zone 18 covers all of Ottawa and North Grenville, extending east to Hawkesbury and west to Belleville.

Anglers must check the conservation limits and fishing rules for their zone in the ministry’s recreational fishing regulations guide before heading out. The guide is available online.

Hung out to dry over wet stockings

other was a great one for routine.

To her there was a purpose for everything, and everything had to be done in order. It seemed to me that I was always being taught a lesson to prepare me for the next step in life.

And so it was, that at the supper table one night, Mother announced that I was old enough to wash out my underwear and stockings every night before I went to bed, just like my older sister Audrey had been doing for years. Of course, this brought a snicker from my brothers. It was a time when any mention of underpinnings was done in hushed tones. And here was my mother announcing to everyone as we were digging into our meatloaf, that I would be washing out my own underwear before I went to bed. I could feel my face flush red with embarrassment.

It certainly didn’t bother Father who simply asked Everett to pass the gravy, as if being told at the supper table that his youngest was now old enough to wash out her own underwear was right up there with talking about the weather!

My sister Audrey, every night, just before we headed up the stairs for bed, went to the kitchen basin, and washed out her underwear and stockings. Then she draped them

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories “Suit yourself,� she said, and turned back to Eaton’s catalogue at the kitchen table.

The washing part was easy.

It was wringing out the water that was a chore. But I got out as much of the water as I could, and took the pants and the stockings over to a chair by the stove.

It was soon obvious that I was a long way from getting out the wash water, and they were soon making a pool on the kitchen floor. Mother ordered me to get some newspaper out of the wood box to catch the drip.

Several times Audrey started to open her mouth to give me instructions, but Mother just shook her head and Audrey said nothing.

When we climbed the stairs to go to bed, I took a last look at what I had accomplished without any help from my sister Audrey. By then the newspapers were saturated and the pants and stockings were still pouring out water. I sneaked my hand over to Audrey’s chair, and everything was almost dry.

Oh, well, I thought, they will

over the back of a chair and pushed it close to the Findlay Oval, so that everything would be dry enough to wear in the morning.

Right after we had readied up the kitchen, Audrey put the big kettle on the front of the stove to come to a boil. It would take a while to be hot enough, so there was still time to leaf through the Eaton’s catalogue.

Mother said Audrey would make sure I did the chore properly and I was to do what my sister said. I couldn’t for the life of me see what was so difficult about washing out my underwear and long beige cotton stockings. Dip them in the hot sudsy water, rinse them in another washbasin, and hang them on the back of a chair. That would be it.

Audrey said she would do her washing first so that I would get the hang of it. I told her I couldn’t see what could be so difficult about washing out a pair of flower-bag underpants and a pair of long stockings. I assured her I was perfectly capable of doing it on my own.

all be dry by morning. And I went to bed content that I had learned another lesson on growing up.

The next morning I tore downstairs to retrieve my belongings. Audrey had long since claimed hers. Well, there were the stockings, still dripping wet, and the flour bag underwear as stiff as a piece of cardboard. “What happened?� I wailed. “Well� Mother said, “if you had listened to your sister and watched her, you would have seen that she rinsed everything twice. You didn’t, and the underwear is still full of soap. The stockings are wet because you wouldn’t let Audrey show you how to wring them out. So I guess you will have to wear them to school wet.� And she turned and went to the table to put out the porridge bowls.

Mother did let me put on a pair of dry flour bag underpants, and a dry pair of stockings to wear to the Northcote School.

But just as Mother hoped I would, I learned two valuable lessons that night. One was to take advice when it was handed out and when I didn’t know what I was doing, and the other lesson was that any young lady worth her salt washed out her underwear and stockings every night before she went to bed.

Ottawa Police conduct 2012 survey Ottawa Police Services

EMC News – The Ottawa Police Service is seeking public input through the 2012 public survey on policing services.

The survey will solicit residents’ perceptions on safety, crime, community priorities, and police performance.

Throughout February, a random sampling of 8,000 Ottawa households will be

invited by mail to complete the 2012 public survey online through a secure online portal.

“The public survey will ask respondents for their opinions on the level of crime in their neighbourhoods, their concerns and their feedback on services provided by our service,” noted Ottawa Police Chief Vern White. “The results of the survey will help us

improve our quality of service and ensure the needs of Ottawa residents are addressed.”

The information collected from the public survey will also assist the OPS in identifying public concerns and priorities for the upcoming 201315 business plan.

Results from the last public survey conducted in 2008 can be found at www.ottawa police.ca.

NCC hopes canal green bins help recycling goal Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC News – New green bins for organic waste on the Rideau Canal Skateway are aimed at helping the National Capital Commission reach a lofty waste-diversion goal.

Success is far off, but Emilie Lagacé, a member of the NCC’s environmental strategy team, said providing the bins for visitors’ food waste should have an impact.

By next year, the NCC wants to reduce the waste going to landfills from its three main events – Winterlude, the skateway and Canada Day – by 50 per cent from the 2009-

10 season.

That would mean reducing the garbage produced on the skateway alone to 11.1 tonnes per season. But despite tackling its environmental action plan since 2009, the NCC landfilled 30.7 tonnes of waste last year.

The NCC purposefully set a lofty goal, Lagacé said, by making the target the same, no matter how many days the skateway is open. Last year was a long season, so visitors produced more waste, she said.

While food concessions on the canal have been using a green-bin program behind the

scenes for a couple of years, 2012 marks the first year that visitors can drop their food waste, napkins, paper cups and wooden popsicle sticks into organic waste bins.

The bins will be located near the snack shacks and rest areas along the entire 8.8-kilometre skateway.

It’s a partnership with the city, which provides the bins and hauls the organic waste from the NCC contractor’s yard to the organics-processing facilty.

In addition to the 17 bins along the canal, there are also green bins in Confederation Park this year for Winterlude.

If it’s successful on the canal this winter, the green bin program could be expanded to include Canada Day celebrations on July 1, Lagacé said.

The NCC has launched another environmental initia-

tive this year with the hope of encouraging people to recycle organics on the canal and help reduce the trash going to the landfill.

During Winterlude weekends, a Green Squad of volunteers were set to be out on the

skateway to inform visitors about the NCC’s environmental initiatives, Lagacé said.

About a dozen volunteers on skates were set to participate in the Green Squad each weekend until Winterlude ends on Feb. 20.

Youth leaders have been meeting every Wednesday at the Bronson Centre to organize a youth-oriented job fair. The Jaku Konbit Peer 2 Peer event will take place at Carleton University on Feb. 18. ber fun, youth-oriented features such as a DJ and informal kiosks.

“We added the DJ because we thought, why not? Why not make it fun; we are targeting youth aren’t we? Why not engage them?” Sawyers said.

Jedler Jean Jacques attended the fair last year and admitted he came in because of the music, but stayed and

became a success story.

“I really didn’t expect anything when I went, but I really liked the music and ended up getting a job,” Jean Jacques said.

The event starts runs from noon to 3:30 p.m. and all youth or job seekers are invited to attend.

EMC News – A youth organized job fair at Carleton University promises to be unlike any other.

Youth from the organization Jaku Konbit have taken the lead on organizing the UJIMA job fair for Feb. 18 at Carleton University, in the Atrium building. The fair’s focus is on youth finding meaningful employment.

“It is all about peer to peer engagement,” said organizer Justice Ndatuje. “With this job fair we have focused on a higher standard of employment opportunities. It is not just about getting a job at McDonalds.”

Ndatuje added the fair will have employers from all over Ottawa, including the City of Ottawa, Canadian Forces, the Ottawa police and CSIS. “All they have to do is bring their resume,” Ndatuje said.

Jaku Konbit is a nonprofit organization that focuses on family-oriented and community based initiatives for black Canadian children and youth in the Ottawa region.

This is the second time the group has held a job fair and fair organizer Shelly Sawyers said the intention is to make it an annual event.

Roadshow is coming back to Ottawa For complete information see ad below TERRY INKLER Canadian Collectors Roadshow Staff Writer After very successful events throughout Canada, the Roadshow has come back to Ottawa. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it!

Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver.

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery

During a show nearToronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt.“I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles,“so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery she was never going to wear.

Expert Elijah Gold explains,“We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added,“The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!!

She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains,“I never would have thought that my old tin afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She finally decided to come into the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce explains“We had uncovered an 1871 QueenVictoria

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them.The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

The most up-to-date drawings of the plans for Lansdowne were revealed at city hall on Feb. 7 and show a lot of red-brick buildings surrounded by trees. Mayor Jim Watson says the revitalized site will be ‘alive and a place to live.’

Lansdowne plans begin to take shape EMC News – A tree-filled Lansdowne Park with a lot of red brick buildings makes up the revised vision for the site presented at city hall on Feb. 7.

It took six months of haggling among a team of experts to produce a more detailed design of the storefront retail, glass-fronted cinema and wood-wrapped sports stadium, said planning committee chairman Peter Hume.

“Creativity often comes from a conflict of ideas,” said the Alta Vista councillor, who is also a member of the design review panel for the Lansdowne project. “The process has been long and at times, extremely difficult.”

The project will welcome visitors back into the “park,” which has mostly been closed off to the public and used for private events in recent memory.

Designers and city council members emphasized the project will make Lansdowne a year-round destination with shops, homes, events and activities each day and night.

The revitalized Frank Clair Stadium is one of the first elements that will be constructed and is supposed to be ready for Canadian Football

League play by 2014.

The stadium’s designer, Robert Claiborne, said the venue will hold up to 40,000 with the addition of temporary seating.

Claiborne also indicated that floor-level club seats will be added to the stadium.

The new south stands will be ringed by a curved wooden “veil” that will act as a transition between the curving landscape of the canal and the stadium, said George Dark, a planner who is also a member of the design review panel. It’s not meant to protect the stands from the elements, but will act more as a design element, he added.

The commercial “mixeduse” section of the site off Bank Street will help reconnect the commercial strips between the Glebe and Old Ottawa South, Mayor Jim

Watson said.

“It has been a gap in the urban fabric. This reconnects it,” said John Clifford, a principal at Perkins Eastman, which is in charge of the commercial-residential sector design.

He referred to the ninebuilding portion of the Lansdowne redevelopment as the “urban village.”

One of the buildings, listed as Block A, at the corner of Holmwood and Bank, features an environmentallyfriendly “green roof,” and Dark said there are plans to put solar panels on the roof of the Horticulture Building.

The city is still awaiting designs for a few towers that will be situated at Bank Street and Holmwood Avenue.

The city is still awaiting resolution of the legal challenge to the city’s Lansd-

WATER METER READING DEVICES UPGRADES The City of Ottawa has been implementing a new water meter system throughout the City. I’ve been informed that this Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) upgrade is currently taking place within Kanata North. The Automated Meter Renewal program is based upon Radio Frequency technology, which will automatically transmit water usage data from Ottawa businesses and residences directly into the City’s water billing system rather than having them read manually.

The installation of endpoints at the homes of residences will be conducted by Itron Canada, on behalf of the City of Ottawa. At most homes access is not required, but if it is needed you will receive written notification from the City and will need to schedule an appointment. The update is compulsory but there is no cost to you for the new meter reading device. If you have any question or concerns go to the City of Ottawa AMI information site at: http://ottawa.ca/en/env_water/water_sewer/billing/understanding/meters/ami/.

MAYOR COMING TO KANATA NORTH Mayor Jim Watson will be attending the Kanata North Ward Council meeting at the Mlacak Centre on Monday February 27, from 7 to 8 pm. After his opening remarks residents can make suggestions, ask questions and comment on City issues. Following the session with the Mayor the police report will be given and I will report on issues in Kanata North including the status of zoning applications.

BUS ACCIDENT I was concerned to hear about the accident on the Transitway last week involving a full 61 bus en route to the Ealgleson Park and Ride and Kanata South. As a transit commissioner I would be interested in hearing from residents who were on that bus about what happened and from those on other buses who used Scott Street as a detour. The Transportation Committee will be dealing with routes to be followed when the Transitway is closed for conversion to light rail and your comments will be helpful information when we deal with alternative routes, including Scott Street, for the buses to follow at that time.

LANSDOWN PARK The design plans for Lansdown Park were unveiled last week and this week we will be dealing with updated reports on the Partnership Plan, Air Rights, Soil Remediation, and Traffic, Transit and Parking issues. The site plan and design features will create a place that is attractive, features a lot of green space and is sure to become an Ottawa jewel.

The city intends to seek redesignation for the Horticulture Building, Smith said, but Flemming wasn’t convinced it would be possible, given all the changes to the structure and that fact that it will be moved – a process that’s estimated to cost $6 million.

Still, Flemming and fellow Heritage Ottawa members said they liked the plans for the building, which dates back to 1914.

“What we’re concerned about is that the cost is going to get more and more and somewhere along the way someone is going to say, ‘Why the hell are we spending $6 million relocating this nondesignated building when we can just tear it down?’”

should not repeal all or part of the bylaw designating the building as heritage in order to move it.

Despite the decision, the city owns the Horticulture Building, so it has the final say about whether it will be moved, and the city has always maintained the building will be moved.

0216.382660

City Councillor, Kanata North

EMC News – A plan to make the historic Horticulture Building into a meeting space, restaurant and more is a good idea, heritage advocates say – if only the building didn’t have to be moved.

Updated design plans for the Lansdowne Park redevelopment were revealed at city hall on Feb. 7, and most notable were changes to the Horticulture Building.

Julian Smith, the heritage architect in charge of that portion of the project, said a portion of the building will be permanently removed and the north facade, which faces Holmwood Avenue, will have a glass front instead of a brick wall.

Another big change will be the size of the building – a couple of “bays” will be taken out, reducing the length of the structure and allowing it to be set back farther from neighbouring houses along Holmwood.

The Horticulture Building will be the nexus of the transition between commercial and public spaces and gardens, so it will feature both commercial and public space.

The building will be turned into a meeting space that can hold up to 500 people, with space for smaller community events and a kitchen. There may also be an info booth and a restaurant in the Horticulture Building, Smith said.

That plan aligns with the new UNESCO guidelines that support adaptive reuse of heritage buildings – a policy Smith helped draft. But he confirmed that relocating heritage-designated buildings was not part of that strategy.

The plans sounded good to members of Heritage Ottawa, the advocacy group that fought the city’s plan to move the Horticulture Building – and won.

In fact, if the building remained in its current location, “We could live with that,” said

Notably absent from the Feb. 7 presentation was any discussion of plans for the historic Aberdeen Pavilion, arguably the richest heritage building on the site.

But Smith said in an interview that the 114-year-old “cattle castle” will mostly remain unchanged.

“The Aberdeen is not going to undergo any significant changes,” Smith said. “The idea of the Aberdeen is that it’s like a large tent on the lawn. It will be available for programming when you have major events and you want protected space … It’s an indoor-outdoor space.”

The building can’t be completely heated or air-conditioned, so its uses are limited, Smith said. There is a desire to keep the large space as flexible as possible, so it can be used for overflow from outdoor events, as a separate site or stage for festivals at Lansdowne, for off-season farmers markets and perhaps even as bicycle parking during large events.

The interior of the pavilion will remain undivided, Smith said.

Three times more trees, outdoor rink planned for Lansdowne EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mayor Jim Watson highlighted how the Lansdowne revitalization project will â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-greenâ&#x20AC;? the park, adding grassy areas and boosting the number of trees from the current 230 to 880 when the project is done.

Lansdowne currently has 2.4 hectares of parkland on 15 hectares of public property, including the stadium field. The new Lansdowne will have three times that amount, the mayor said.

In particular, a grid of trees has been added to the design for the plaza in front of the Aberdeen Pavilion that will house the farmers market.

That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reduce the number of stalls planned for the farmers market, said Jeffrey Staates, a senior landscape architect with Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg, which is in charge of the public park portion of the Lansdowne project.

A refrigerated outdoor skating and curling rink has been added to the most recent version of the plans, to be situated south of the Aberdeen Pavilion, adjacent to the community garden and orchard.

It will be the second refrigerated rink along the banks of the Rideau Canal, the first being the Rink of Dreams that was built this winter at city hall.

The Lansdowne rink could be a general-purpose outdoor refrigerated ice surface, or it may be used for curling, Staates said.

A childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play park is planned beside the rink, which could function as a basketball court in the summer.

A more intricate network of multi-use pathways is in the process of being developed, particularly between the refreshed Frank Clair Stadium and Queen Elizabeth Drive-Rideau Canal.

Options for bicycle parking are still being considered, but there will need to be a lot of it, according to a member of the design review panel for the Lansdowne project.

Local businesses prepare to reap LRT rewards Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

R0011263657/0202

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Local businesses are taking different approaches in trying to benefit from $2.1 billion in spending on Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forthcoming light-rail system.

Some local companies are going all out to attract attention from the three international consortia of companies shortlisted to win the LRT contract, while other businesses havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided if â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or how â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they can contribute to the project.

But no matter their approach, representatives from 250 local companies flocked to the CE Centre on Feb. 9 for a trade show and matchmaking session to show off their wares to the consortia.

A representative from Harris Rebar, a steel manufacturer located off Carp Road north of Stittsville, said the trade show was the perfect opportunity to meet with the consortia and try to impress them with some of the upgrades the company is making to clinch a deal with the LRT project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expanding our facility to make sure we can compete with anyone internationally thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to come in,â&#x20AC;? said Allen Piddington, area manager for Harris Rebar.

The company is building a new manufacturing facility anyways, but Harris Rebar certainly has LRT in mind when planning the expansion, Piddington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just knowing this is coming out helps us plan for pay-

ing back the building,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps us make sure we can be a player here for a bigger project â&#x20AC;Ś This (LRT project) will be a kickoff to expand and help us reach out to new markets.â&#x20AC;?

The expansion will likely create around 100 new jobs, said Pierre Paquette, who works in sales and estimating for Harris Rebar in Ottawa.

Overall, the city estimates the LRT project will generate 20,000 person-years of employment and more than $3 billion in economic activity during construction alone.

The trade-show discussions were very preliminary, but fruitful, Piddington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very worthwhile.

It was a good opportunity to meet with some of the consortias and get an idea of who the consortias are and show is involved with them,â&#x20AC;? Piddington said.

While his company works regularly with some of the local partners who are members of the consortia, Piddington said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valuable to get face time with the international partners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us an opportunity to introduce ourselves not only to the local partners, but the more the international partners who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know us,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It was also a chance for lo-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a large project that I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be good for the whole industry. There is going to be lots of work for all the companies in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Taggart said.

A consortia of companies will be chosen before the end of the year, with construction on the light-rail from Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture to Blair Station to start in 2013. LRT is scheduled to be up and running by mid-2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a long list of products and services that will be needed,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Steve Desroches. The GloucesterSouth Nepean councillor came up with the idea for the trade show, which was approved by city council last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a huge shot in the arm and we nee do give local businesses the opportunity, too,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The event was a partnership with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, and business people said it was something they would like to see happen again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly this is the first type of event that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the city put on, or the industry in general,â&#x20AC;? Taggart said, adding that he thought it was a good model to copy in the future for other large infrastructure projects.

Taggart said, adding that he was hoping to connect with all three consortia in the planning phase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to see if we could do some work for all three of them, instead of getting onto one team or another,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of #23 breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it.

You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses.

See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA < Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 #39 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL < Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing.

After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON <Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON Skeptics may call anybody. All real people with honest statements.

Vanier residents are organizing a breakfast that will raise money for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa McCann Clubhouse and Assumption School. It will also honour outgoing police chief Vern White.

Fundraising breakfast to honour Chief White Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC News –Vanier residents have organized a special fundraising event in honour their outgoing chief of police.

Organized by the Vanier community, the continental breakfast for Chief Vern White on Feb. 24 will raise money for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa McCann Clubhouse and Assumption School.

Many in Vanier credit White for making positive changes on their streets. Residents wanted to do something to honour his time as Ottawa’s police chief.

Suzanne Valiquet, executive director of Quartier Vanier, said it was only days after the announcement of the chief’s appointment to the Senate that she began to receive emails and phone calls from residents

asking what they were going to do to thank the chief.

“Everybody had the same thing on their minds,” Valiquet said.

In only two short weeks, Quartier Vanier, the Ottawa police and community-led groups helped organize the event.

Vanier was one of the first communities to approach the chief about wanting to say goodbye, according to Central East Insp.Uday Jaswal. He said it was the chief’s idea to make the event a fundraiser.

“I think there is a lot of interest across the city to honour the chief, he has had a lot of impact in this city, but the chief has had a special relationship and it was amplified by the residents wanting to do something for him,” Jaswal said. “It was important to the chief to help the McCann Clubhouse.”

The clubhouse, although situated in Vanier, also serves the east-end community of Overbrook. Assumption School in Vanier will also benefit from the event.

“Assumption School is fundraising for a new playstructure, it made sense to spread the wealth,” Valiquet said.

Jaswal said he wasn’t surprised by the organizing efforts in the community, adding the credit goes to the residents and Quartier Vanier.

“The chief has had very special relationship with Vanier since his arrival in Ottawa and a lot of residents really responded to his approach to policing and how they could build community leadership amongst themselves,” Jaswal said.

According to Valiquet, this is the first time all these partners have come together to organize an event and she said, even under the time constraints, things have gone very well.

Tickets are available at Quartier Vanier by calling 613-745-0040 or through the Ottawa police at 613-2361222, ext. 5566.

Hoffman making impact in second season with B-Sens

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Mike Hoffman is eager to embrace the challenge.

Fresh off playing a key role in the Binghamton Senators’ charge to a Calder Cup crown last season, the 22-year-old native of Kitchener, Ont., feels ready to assume a greater role in his second season with the Ottawa Senators’ primary affiliate.

“We’ve got a young team,” said Hoffman, who blossomed into a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League star after going undrafted and unclaimed by any team in the Ontario Hockey League. “I think everyone’s got a little bit more (responsibility) on them, including myself. I want to be scoring more goals and getting more points to help the team win as much as I can.”

Hoffman’s pedigree certainly suggests a guy built for offence.

In his final two junior seasons, he racked up 98 goals and 179 points, helping the Drummondville Voltigeurs reach the Memorial Cup in 2008-09 before earning QMJHL most valuable player honours with the Saint John Sea Dogs the following season.

In between those two campaigns, the Senators made the 5-11, 175-pound centre a fifth-round pick (130th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

They’re hoping Hoffman turns into one of those late-round gems down the road, but some grooming down on the farm will come first. “(Hoffman) is a super skilled guy with top-end speed, and he’s wiry strong,” said Randy

Lee, the Senators’ director of hockey operations and player development. “He’s got a great one-time shot. He has to be an impact player every time he plays down there (in Binghamton) and he can do that. He can be a difference maker.”

Life in the American Hockey League hasn’t always been rosy for Hoffman. He spent time during his rookie pro season with the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League and started the Calder Cup playoffs as a healthy scratch. But by the end of the B-Sens’ title run, head coach Kurt Kleinendorst was calling Hoffman his most improved player over the course of the post-season.

“This guy was a top guy, the MVP of the Quebec league, so for him it was an adjustment,” said Lee. “He was patient and he waited for his opportunity in the playoffs last year … he carved out a bigger role for himself. It was a good experience for him and he made a good contribution to the championship win.”

Hoffman called the Calder Cup run “a good confidence builder for me.” Though his aim is to become a “complete twoway player,” Hoffman also knows what’s brought him to the point.

“I’m going to have to be an

offensive player, someone who’s putting pucks in the net and putting up points as much as I can,” said Hoffman, the B-Sens’ second-leading scorer behind

Rob Klinkhammer. “I definitely want to play in the NHL someday. For now, I just want to get better every single day I go to the rink.”

WASHINGTON CAPITALS Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7 p.m., TSN The Capitals are in a huge dogfight with the Florida Panthers for Southeast Division supremacy – not to mention a Stanley Cup playoff berth. While Alex Ovechkin remains this team’s most dynamic offensive talent, he’s nowhere near the 60-goal scorer he once was a few years back. The Caps’ attack is also hurting with the loss of centre Nicklas Backstrom to a concussion over a month ago.

That ramps up the pressure on

the likes of Alexander Semin and Brooks Laich to produce more goals. Dennis Wideman provides help in that area from the back end, along with John Carlson.

In goal, Tomas Vokoun provides Washington with steady, dependable play.

BOSTON BRUINS Saturday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m., CBC Though their play has been somewhat average of late, the Stanley Cup champion Bruins are still a formidable force and a top candidate to repeat in June. This is a team loaded with offensive threats, led by the versatile Patrice Bergeron and the bruising Milan Lucic. Young phenom Tyler Seguin is having a breakout season in his second full season in Boston, while Chris Kelly is putting up career numbers and Brad Marchand

remains a perpetual pest who’s also a major impact player.

Zdeno Chara is the big man in many ways on the Boston blue line. In Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask, the Bruins boast arguably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL.
