EMC news - The ability to see clearly is something the KanataHazeldean Lions Club is hoping to provide to all area children.

The Glen Cairn-based club has been offering free, voluntary vision screening for children in grades 1, 5 and 8 at various local schools for the past two years.

“We want to do as many schools as possible,” said club secretary Naomi Nakamura.

Teaching a love of hockey

The ninth-annual Ottawa Senators initiation fun day was held on March 3 at the Bell Sensplex. The event aims to teach players aged four, five and six and their families the game of hockey. All participants, a total of 80 teams, received an Ottawa Senators champion’s medal at the end of the tournament.

closes for four weeks for maintenance.

The city initially rejected members’ requests to put their memberships on hold when the complex closes from March 18 to April 14 because members are

only allowed one hold per year and many used up that option when the centre was closed in December for two weeks for another round of unplanned maintenance.

Kanata South Coun. Allan

Hubley now says members who fill out forms will be able to put their membership on hold while the Katimivik complex is shut down this spring.

Allegations withdrawn against Kanata teacher accused of having sex with student Blair Edwards and Jessica Cunha blair.edwards@metroland.com

Receive up to $100,000 in added value!

CITY LIVING, SMALL TOWN PRICING

EMC news - A Kanata Catholic school teacher accused of having sex with a female student in 2010 has resigned as a member of the Ontario College of Teachers.

The hearing for Mitchell Khalil Thomas went before the discipline committee of the Ontario College of Teachers on Thursday, Feb. 28. The committee authorized the withdrawal of the allegations of professional misconduct in exchange for Khalil’s resignation.

Khalil also had to agree he would never seek a reinstatement of his certificate of qualification and registration, that he would never teach in any public or private school in the province that requires membership in the Ontario College of Teachers, and that he understood the Ontario College of Teachers has the option of reinstituting the proceedings should he breach any of the agreements.

According to the decision, the Public Register will reflect his certificate will be “resigned-cancelled.”

“On February 28, 2013, the member resigned his membership with the Ontario College of Teachers and has undertaken never to teach again or to seek reinstatement of his certificate of qualification and registration. The member resigned his membership while a disciplinary proceeding was pending,” according to the notation.

Khalil was not in attendance for

the discipline hearing, but his counsel said he was in agreement with the resolution.

The name of the school and the name and age of the student have not been released.

Thomas is alleged to have engaged in a sexual relationship with a student from June to November 2010.

He is also alleged to have met with the student off school property, driving with her in either his or her car and allegedly had telephone conversations with the girl, sent her text messages and posted on her Facebook profile page.

Thomas is no longer employed by the Ottawa Catholic School Board, said spokeswoman Mardi de Kemp.

“The alleged incident was brought to administration’s attention and he was immediately suspended and removed from the supply list,” said de Kemp in an email. “Police, parents and Ontario College of Teachers were informed as soon as this was brought to administration’s attention.”

Thomas graduated with an honours bachelor of arts degree from Carleton University in 2006, according to the Ontario College of Teachers website.

He also holds a graduate diploma in education from the University of Newscastle in Australia and holds a temporary certificate to teach intermediate and senior students, which expires in May 2013 unless he earns a permanent certificate.

Users can request membership hold over phone or in person Continued from page 1

Users can fill out forms at the Kanata Leisure Centre or any other city recreation facility, or call the centre at 613-591-9283 to request a membership hold.

Signs alerting people to the closure just went up at the Kanata Leisure Centre last week and Hubley’s office began receiving calls from people angry that some of their membership time will be wasted since they were denied a second hold period.

The confusion was due to staff misinterpreting the city’s policy, said Dan Chenier, the city’s general manager of recreation and cultural services. As a rule, users can place their memberships on hold if they wish while a centre undergoes scheduled or unscheduled repairs and it won’t count towards their single discretionary hold period. “(Staff) got caught up in the ‘once-

a-year’ piece,” Chenier said. “We did talk to the staff about it.”

Hubley said that policy needs to be airtight.

“We shouldn’t be (rejecting hold requests) for times when we are closing the facility,” he said. “If we are doing closings, we should just automatically extend everyone’s membership.”

Ideally, Hubley said people shouldn’t even have to fill out a form, but he’s not sure the city’s recreation system is able to handle that function.

Chenier said an automatic hold would probably cause frustration for even more people, since many users will switch to another facility for the several weeks their normal complex is closed.

“It would probably inconvenience more people than we’d be helping out,” Chenier said.

But many of the people who use

the leisure centre are seniors who may have difficulty accessing a different complex, Hubley said.

“It’s nice that you have the option if it’s convenient for you,” he said, “but we shouldn’t be expecting that.”

The impact on the Kanata Leisure Centre is especially great this winter.

While it normally closes for regular annual maintenance for three weeks each year, the complex will be closed for a total of six weeks between December of 2012 and this April.

The spring repair work was already scheduled, Chenier said, but some work was so pressing the pool had to close over Christmas as well.

Most of the repair work is minor, including inspecting and cleaning ceilings, sound buffers and windows; plumbing repairs to the pool’s filtration system; fixing floor drainage and tiles and repainting three fitness rooms.

File

The Kanata Leisure Centre will be closed from March 18 to April 14.

Users can request their membership be postponed during that time.

The councillor would prefer to see maintenance completed in the summer months when fewer people use the facility, but the city can’t delay

the scheduled spring closure for this year. He said he plans to push for future Kanata Leisure Centre maintenance to be done in the summer.

EMC news - The Canada Day in Kanata committee is searching for a local group to open for this year’s headlining act Trooper at the July 1st celebration.

Last year, more than 50 applications were received with 23 youth bands vying for the coveted opening slot. Local pop-rock band Keek was selected to open for Kim Mitchell. The five-piece ensemble played for a crowd of more than 30,000 people at Walter Baker Park.

“It was awesome; it was definitely my favourite Canada Day,” said Conor Whitehead, who sings main vocals. “It was a riot playing that stage, being up there doing what we love.”

The members of Keek – which include Nathan Pearce, Matt Belanger, Marek Luban, and Kyle “Willy” Williams – had the opportunity to chat with Kim Mitchell after last year’s show.

“I grew up listening to his stuff so it was an honour to meet the man,” said Whitehead.

He said the exposure from the gig helped the band become bet-

ter known in the city.

“The exposure is awesome; it’s a great chance to really celebrate your country,” Whitehead said. “Every day after that for a couple weeks, and even up to now, I have people come up to me saying ‘I saw you on Canada Day.’” He said Diane McNulty, program director and stage manager, and the rest of the committee took great care of the band and the event was “really well organized.”

“If anyone is really thinking about playing Canada Day … just go for it. Don’t hesitate,” said Whitehead. “It’s definitely worth it; it’s a lot of fun. I’d definitely do it again.”

Diane McNulty, program director and stage manager for the Canada Day committee, said the hardest part of organizing the event is choosing an opening band.

“The biggest problem we have when we do the call for bands is we have so much talent,” she said. “We’re constantly blown away by the submissions.”

Playing the stage on Canada Day is a great experience for

LOVE GREAT DEALS?

bands because it gives them experience performing for a large crowd, said McNulty. It also showcases amazing local talent.

“These are musicians from your own backyard,” she said, adding the committee is always blown away by the calibre of talent year after year. “It’s so difficult for us to choose which bands are going to perform at Canada Day.” The deadline for this year’s call for bands is April 26. Applications can be dropped off or mailed to “Kanata Canada Day Inc., c/o Diane McNulty, 38 Torcastle Way, Kanata, ON. K2L 2Y6.”

Those invited to perform at the 2013 event will be notified by May 31.

This year, applications will be

accepted from all solo artists and bands, but the opening number will go to a performer or group with artists age 24 and under.

A panel of five judges will select the winning band or artist based on vocals, the arrangement and difficulty of the music, originality, execution, how well the music fits with the headline artist and the band or artist’s live performance dynamics. The headline artist has the final approval on all opening acts.

“You have to perform your own material,” said McNulty, adding bands should keep in mind Canada Day is a familyfriendly event.

Lions provide glasses to those in need The Lions Club is approved by both the Ottawa public and Catholic school boards, and the volunteers have completed appropriate training.

On Feb. 20, volunteers tested 50 students at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School before the lunch hour.

Eighty per cent of what children learn comes from their eyes and vision, according to the Lions Club screening program, and it’s estimated one in six children has a vision problem.

During the 2011-12 school year, the club screened 248 students in four Kanata schools. They found 77 children with vision issues.

“Eyes need to be tested,” said Nakamura. “It’s a community service (we’re providing).”

The club is hoping more schools will come forward to request the vision screening.

“We would be pleased to go to any school,” said Lions Club member and former Kanata South councillor Peggy Feltmate. “No child should be without glasses if they need them.”

For families that can’t afford corrective glasses, the Lions may be able to provide assistance.

With written parental permission, volunteers from the club test students with three comprehensive vision tests.

If the child is unable to pass the testing, the Lions send a letter home to the parents recommending the student receive a complete eye and vision exam.

The vision screening is not a complete eye exam by a doctor but it’s “designed to identify children who have trouble seeing things at a distance, up close or who have difficulty making both eyes work together,” according to the Lions report.

tests and glasses to people in two communities. Eighteen Lions from across Canada participated in two clinics, one in Corriverton, a small town on the Atlantic Ocean and the other in Orealla, a village on the Corentyne River.

“In the team there were five optometrists, three opticians, two nurses ... and seven assisting volunteers, three of whom were born in Guyana,” said Tom in an email. “We brought with us approximately 3,000 pair of (used) glasses and eight cases of diagnostic equipment for the clinic.”

The Lions examined more than 1,100 people in the first community and found 70 per cent were in need of glasses for both distance vision and for reading, said Tom. “While a very few might have been able to afford glasses on their own, the majority were simply too poor to consider glasses,” he added. “To purchase glasses in Guyana would cost the equivalent of three to four months of their annual income.”

In the second village, the group had hoped to see 800 people, but only 450 came by foot or by boat during the three-day clinic.

“This was partly due to the extreme weather we experience throughout the three days,” said Tom. “The Amerindian population was a much more healthy population ... However they were certainly in need of glasses with 80 per cent receiving corrective lenses.”

Over the two week period, about 15 to 20 people left the clinics without glasses because there were no matches in the donated eye wear.

“Their prescriptions were taken back to Canada so that appropriate glasses could be prepared and shipped back to Guyana at a later date,” said Tom. Since 1990, more than $415 mil-

lion has been raised and spent by Lions around the world for the vision programs. Over the past 20 years, the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club has collected, sorted and washed thousands of pairs of glasses for use in the eye care clinics, said Tom. “It is truly a humbling sight to see folks with severely impaired vision leave the clinic with confidence in their steps and with a huge smile on their faces.”

The Lions Club is hosting an open house on April 9, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, 170 Castlefrank Rd. The open house will detail JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND the community works hosted by the Kanata Hazeldean Lions Club member and former Kanata South club.

The Lions Clubs International was founded in 1917, and in 1925 Helen Keller challenged the Lions to be “knights of the blind.”

Since then, the clubs’ primary service goal is to reduce blindness and vision problems around the world.

Aside from offering vision screenings, the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club collects used eye glasses and travels to remote and developing areas, providing testing and glasses to those who need them.

“The Lions are known as knights of the blind,” said Nakamura. “This is a big part of what we do.”

The Mayor’s CiTy Builder award

By Jim Watson At the beginning of each City Council meeting I have the opportunity to recognize an outstanding volunteer in our city with the Mayor’s City Builder Award. This is an award I created when I became Mayor in 2010 to celebrate those doing great volunteer work and inspire others to get involved in philanthropy as well.

In the just over two years since the award has been in existence we have presented the City Builder Award to a wide variety of residents from all across Ottawa.

From Hannah Hempinstall of Rideau Goulborn Ward,who at only 13 has raised tens of thousands of dollars for diabetes research, to Pierre Gauthier of Alta Vista Ward, whose work at Brewer Park has allowed its outdoor speed-skating oval to be one of the best in the province, Ottawa has an incredibly dedicated and giving population doing amazing things for our city.

We are all privileged to live in this city and I am struck everyday

by the generosity of Ottawa’s residents. Despite the scope in age, causes, and activities that our City Builder Award recipients have spanned so far, one thing that is uniformly true is that they are humble people whose work is not for personal gain but rather for the betterment of their community and their fellow residents.

I look forward to presenting the City Builder Award in the coming years to more deserving volunteers in our great city. They may not seek out the spotlight but recognizing the great work of these people is a small token of appreciation for what is often a life’s worth of giving back to our City.

If you know someone who you would like to nominate for the Mayor’s City Builder Award please visit http://www. jimwatsonottawa.ca/en/content/ mayors-city-builder-award where you will find more information about the award and the nomination form.

The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association celebrates John Mlacak’s birthday during its annual general meeting on Feb. 27. Mlacak is the former reeve of March township and mayor of the former city of Kanata.

KBCA elections postponed Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - More than 20 Beaverbrook residents braved the snowy conditions on Wednesday, Feb. 27, to attend a community association meeting, but the head count wasn’t high enough to elect a new executive.

The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association hosted its annual general meeting the night the city was walloped with 14 centimetres of snow but fell short of the 50 attendees needed to move forward with the elections.

Those currently in office will continue to hold their position until a new date for the election is set. Attendees voted to suspend the meeting until the following month when a proper quorum is available to vote.

APPEAL

Current president Gary Sealey and resident John Mlacak, former reeve of March township and mayor of the former city of Kanata, met with the Mor-

ley-Hoppner group on Feb. 28.

The developer owns the land at 2 The Parkway, which received approval from the planning committee and city council to build a seven-storey building on the site of the former post office.

The discussion was a “get-to-knowyou” meeting, said Sealey, about “how we can co-operate on creating something good and beautiful.”

The association filed an appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board to fight the city’s decision to rezone for a seven-storey building at 2 The Parkwa before the AGM because the deadline to submit passed a week before the Wednesday meeting.

Sealey said the association expects to lose if they go forward with the OMB appeal but the final decision of whether to continue the fight or not is up to the association as a whole.

“If we go to the OMB we are going to lose,” said Sealey.

Even knowing it’s a lost cause, Sealey said they appealed the city’s decision because “In the minds of some it’s the right thing to do.”

But with the elections postponed, so too is the decision on whether to continue to fight the city’s decision to rezone. There is a chance new board members might not want to spend the time and money at the OMB. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson cautioned those at the Feb. 27 gathering against continuing the appeal.

“The OMB cannot do what the community wants,” she said. “Going to the OMB now, you’re on your own” she added, saying the developer and the city agree on what has been put forward.

The seven-story building falls within the guidelines of the city’s Official Plan, which is currently in the process of being updated.

The average cost of the appeal process at the OMB is between $30,000 to $40,000 said Wilkinson, and could reach upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A few residents in attendance said they weren’t keen on going forward with the appeal.

Bliny Brunch kicks off Russian Orthodox Lent jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents are invited to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of Russian Orthodox Lent with the annual Maslenitsa Carnival on March 10.

St. Xenia of Petersburg Russian Orthodox Cathedral is hosting its annual bliny and winter festival from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in the parish hall, located at 2 Colchester Square. “You’re going to have Sunday lunch, you may as well have it with a bunch of crazy Russians,� said parish member Vladimir Skok. “It’s unique and they’ll come away feeling like a Russian.�

The Maslenitsa Carnival, meaning Butter Week, is similar to the Catholic tradition of Mardi Gras. “You’re being encouraged to consume all the foods you’ll give up,� said Skok, adding it also celebrates the end of winter. The beginning of the Russian Lenten season is March 18, with Easter in early May. “There’s lots of snow, it’s still cold, but you know spring is near.�

BLINY BRUNCH

The bliny is similar to pancakes, and is served with caviar, smoked salmon,

other traditional fillings, flavoured vodka, coffee, Russian tea, sparkling wine and St. Petersburg beer.

The blin is round and golden, symbolizing the sun and coming spring, as well as the resurrection of Christ.

The festival is open to everyone, and to people of all denominations.

Skok said the aim is to “share our culture with the broader community ‌ We’re giving them a physical taste.â€?

There will be Russian Gypsy dancers, traditional music, sing-a-longs and a live and silent auction. “It will be very lively and festive,â€? said Skok. “It’s a food, music, culture event that’s tied to history, tied to tradition ‌ and is aligned with the church calendar.â€?

One of the biggest draws is a live auction of a gourmet Russian dinner for a party of 10 at the winner’s house. Last year, the prize helped to raise $4,000.

This year, funds raised will go to the Kanata Food Cupboard and will help the church continue its interior fresco artwork.

Tickets for adults and students cost $35, and for children under 12 the cost is $20.

Seating is limited and reservations can be made by calling 613-225-5782 or 613-599-0904. For more information, visit stxenia.ca.

Don’t let respect for seniors lapse

T

here’s a lot of uncertainty in these fragile economic times. People everywhere are scrambling to make ends meet or formulate plans to secure their financial futures.

Back in the 1970s we were sold a fantasy; the dream of a leisure society where one of the biggest challenges faced by municipalities would be offering recreational services for workers enjoying reduced work weeks and seniors lazing comfortably, with time on the hands.

A few decades later, we face a far different picture. We have very little to celebrate.

Now, workers who carried the hope of

early retirement are being told by the federal government that Old Age Security is changing and there are plans to up the retirement age to 67 years. Many can’t afford to retire early, or even at age 65.

Last month, BMO reported that Canadians, on average, managed to save about $9,200 in 2012. And the average total savings amongst Canadians is $122,310. Some who worked hard all their lives will be unable to afford to stay in their homes. Others will be forced by failing health into long-term care homes.

They must not be forgotten or shortchanged when it comes to federal and provincial dollars for services.

Not quite what it used to be CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

D

UNEDIN, FL. – Every old-timer I know says that spring training is not what it used to be.

What it used to be was a few fans sitting around in the sun, flamingos flying overhead, scouts smoking cigars while they check out The Kid, the players hanging over the fence talking to the fans and handing out autographs.

It was a lazy and informal setting and every fan wanted to be part of it.

Maybe it was never like that. Maybe the past was never as romantic as we think. But what today’s spring training is like is bound to suffer from the comparison. What it is like now, in Dunedin, Florida, in the unromantically named Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, is a large minor league park in any city, with lineups, parking problems, reserved seats and overpriced coffee.

Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, where the Toronto Blue Jays practice, reminds you quite a bit of Lynx Stadium in Ottawa, in the days when there used to be crowds. Florida Auto Exchange Stadium holds fewer people, but it’s a nice small park and the sightlines are about the same.

Where the old-time spring training feel still plays out is in the easy-going nature of the fans, so pleased to be watching baseball again, so pleased to be out in the sunshine that that they can barely bring themselves to boo a bad call, so pleased to be out in the sunshine that even

Kanata Kourier Standard #OLONNADE 2OAD .ORTH /TTAWA 5NIT /. + % ,

Boston Red Sox fans have a hard time being unpleasant.

The minor-league vibe can also be felt in the informality of the stadium itself, where a leather-lunged vendor can proclaim “ice-cold Canadian beer in an American can made in China� and, when announcing last call, urge customers to “take one home, as a souvenir.�

So some things haven’t changed, but one thing that has -- and it applies to all sport -- is the recent trend among fans to wear full team uniforms. It used to be that if you went to the (sob!) Expos game, you might wear an Expos hat or an Expos t-shirt. You might see the odd guy wearing a uniform shirt with Raines or Dawson on the back, but it was rare because those things cost $75 and being a fan only went so far.

It sure is different now. So seriously does the modern fan take his responsibilities that the uniform shirt, or replica jersey as it is known in the store, is seen in the hundreds, even at spring training where things haven’t begun to get serious. They are listed at $119.99 in Canada.

And people aren’t wearing some old replica jersey with Jesse Barfield’s name on the back.

No, these jerseys, most of them worn by grown men, have the names from the current roster on the back, not only names from the current roster but names of players, like Dickey and Reyes, who arrived in off-season trades and haven’t played a regular season game yet.

Of course the wearers of these jerseys, aside from Reyes and Dickey themselves, must surely be Canadians. And you realize how many Canadians there are in this small Florida town when the anthems are played and O Canada is actually sung by a large number of people.

Then the Star Spangled Banner is played and what seems to be an equal number of voices is heard. Mercifully, no animosity is detected between the singers of the different songs. But then, it’s spring training.

Kids can teach you about networking

H

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse conflict. Sounds great, right?

The dark side to this is that if we are naturally inclined to befriend people who look like us, share the same religion and politics and maybe even have common cultural backgrounds, we are not as open to befriending people of other cultures, religions and social classes. As a result, our opinions and beliefs are quite narrow because we continually look for people who support and affirm our long-held beliefs.

Even darker perhaps is that children develop the tendency to discriminate as young as age six. It’s around this time they start to notice differences between themselves and other children.

Have you observed that when your little boy was a pre-schooler he invited more girls to his birthday parties or played with whichever kid

happened to be at the park, regardless of skin colour, age or clothing? Yet, if you look at his current group of friends, are they -- and their families -- more like him and his family? Are they the same gender? Do they play the same sports? Do they worship at the same church? Probably.

And chances are your own friends belong to that same, homogenous circle, too.

There are obvious repercussions to this when it comes to creating policies designed to enhance diversity in workplaces, schools and society. At a more personal level, however, unless we reconcile this tendency to hang out with our own kind, we are also limiting our own ability to grow.

It’s commonly known that stretching ourselves through new experiences -- travel, jobs, education -- is the only way to change and grow.

ave you ever watched a small child enter a new social situation?

Perhaps it’s a playgroup or a local park. Depending on the child, she will likely take a while to play on the perimeter and observe the others, before picking someone to play beside.

Eventually, the child will interact with the strangers, finding some point of common interest -- the same yellow shovel, a cute flower on both their dresses. She doesn’t mind if they’re boys or girls, black or white. She doesn’t ask about religion or politics.

She just finds something in common and makes a new friend.

It’s remarkable, really. And according to research on the science of networking, it’s something that adults should be emulating.

The sad truth is that people instinctively gravitate toward people like themselves. This is the easiest way to form associations -- we know that people like us will share the same norms. And if they broadly share our opinions about the world, we won’t have to deal with too much

Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite

Common ways of contracting bed bugs include: - Staying overnight in bed bug infested accommodations like hotels and shelters - Buying or using infested second-hand furniture - Picking up infested discarded items, such as items that someone has put to the curb for garbage pick-up - Living in a multi-unit housing complex that has a bed bug infestation It is important to take precautions when you are travelling or picking up discarded or used furniture.

Tips to Prevent Bed Bugs While Travelling

When travelling, inspect your hotel room for evidence of bed bugs before settling in. Look for live or dead bed bugs, eggs, small black spots (feces), or bed bug skins.

• Pull back all bedding at the head of the bed, near the head board, to look for evidence of

bed bugs • Check the underside of the mattress tag • Check the seams of the mattress and the box spring • Examine the back of the head board • Never place luggage on the bed • Examine the luggage stand and place your bag on the stand away from the wall • Do not place your belongings in drawers • Use a flashlight to inspect the closet for evidence of bed bugs before hanging your clothes • Place your shoes in an open area, not under the bed or in the closet • If bed bug evidence is found, report to management and ask for another room When you return home: • Inspect luggage and contents before bringing it into your home • Upon returning to your home, immediately unpack luggage in a location other than the bed room (e.g. bathroom, garage, mud room or foyer) • Launder all clothing with hot water and dry on high heat for at least 30 minutes • A soft bag (e.g. duffel style bag) is an alternative to a hard sided suitcase as it can be placed in the dryer when you get home If you think you may have come in contact with bed bugs during your travels, it is very important to watch and check for signs of bed bugs. Look for signs of bed bugs in the following areas: • Bed frames, head board, mattresses, and box

springs • Chairs and couches • Under area rugs and along the edges of carpets • Behind baseboards

How to address a bed bug infestation:

The best way to deal with a bed bug problem is through an integrated pest management approach, which may include: vacuuming, reducing clutter, steam cleaning, sealing cracks and crevices, washing and drying clothes at high temperatures, and the use of a trustworthy professional pest control company.

Put your Best ’Food’ Forward March is Nutrition Month, Ottawa Public Health is focusing on helping you make the best choices by providing you with tips on how to plan, shop for, and cook healthy, delicious meals.

At some point, most of us have resolved to eat healthier. Yet, when we get to the grocery store, many of us run into this: • endless aisles of packaged food; • many choices of fresh fruit and vegetables often make for hard decisions; • tempting aromas of the bakery wafts through the store; and • deli counter offers ready-to-eat meals.

How does one filter through all of these options to find the best food, for the lowest price, that can be prepared quickly and easily?

Plan Planning meals and writing a grocery list is a great way to save time, money and effort when it comes to prepping meals and shopping for food. Start by planning your main meals for the week. Have you ever made a list of your family’s top ten favourite healthy meals? Having such a list will make meal planning a breeze. Perhaps you’re looking for new recipe ideas? EatRight Ontario’s My Menu Planner will help you create a personalized menu plan, complete with seasonal recipes and a shopping list.

Shop When it comes to grocery shopping, reading labels and comparing products is key to making healthy food choices. If ever in doubt (or in a hurry), it’s easy to seek out beautiful colourful food that packs a crunch. If you can, shop for fresh produce whenever possible - you’d be surprised by the extra crunch local vegetables provide! Check out Foodland Ontario to see when your favourite vegetables and fruit are in season. Frozen vegetables and fruits are also a great option and can be just as nutritious as fresh ones, especially in the winter months Another food group that might surprise you with its satisfying crunch - grain products! Let your nose follow that tempting aroma to the bakery where you can find delicious whole grains. Lastly, don’t forget the outer aisles of the grocery store.

This is where you will find lower fat 1% or skim milk and lean meats such as skinless chicken and extra-lean ground beef. These items may not be

Written by: Elyse Therrien, Dietetic Intern, Healthy Living Team, Ottawa Public Health

crunchy, but they are great tasting and good for you!

Cook Most of us don’t have the time to cook from scratch anymore. Once you’re home and the groceries are unpacked and to speed up meal preparation, why not try using convenient food items like pre-cut and prewashed vegetables and fruit? To save even more time, try making larger amounts of food and plan to use leftovers for lunches and suppers the next day or throughout the remainder of the week. The extra ground beef could be used in tacos, on pizza or in pasta sauce. Thankfully, cooking from scratch doesn’t have to require lots of work or time in order to be healthy. Experiment to find meal preparation shortcuts that work best for you.

Enjoy healthy eating throughout the month of March and beyond. Use these tips to plan, shop and cook your way to delicious, healthy meals for you and your family.

Bed bugs are small insects that usually hide during the day and come out at night to bite human hosts. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and, because they hide in small spaces like cracks or crevices, are often very hard to find. As a result, you may have signs of a bed bug problem – bites around your face, neck, upper body, arms and hands that you notice after waking up from a night’s sleep – without having seen a bed bug for weeks. Bed bugs can be a nuisance, but it is important to know that they do not spread disease, nor do they fly or jump.

Scout groups raising money with rain barrels Sale will help fund trips and equipment Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Three Kanata Scout groups are raising money for various initiatives by selling rain barrels.

The 1st, 3rd and 7th Kanata Scouts are selling the rain collectors, to be picked up on May 11, as fundraisers for trips and equipment.

“It fits into our program,” said Jan

Stodola, a leader with the 7th Kanata Scouts, based out of the Briarbrook, Brookside and Morgan’s Grant area.

Part of the scouting program, which includes Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers, is learning how to be environmentally friendly and the rain barrels are a great way to divert rain water to nourish gardens.

“The other thing that’s great about this is the children are learning about marketing,” said Sandra Redshaw, a leader with the 3rd Kanata Scouts based in Bridlewood. “It’s a really wonderful opportunity.”

Peter Smith, a leader with the 1st Kanata Scouts, said his group will

use the funds raised for a five-day canoe trip down the Rideau Canal in July, and for Venturers to canoe and camp in Algonquin Park for a week in August.

“The trip along the Rideau Canal will provide numerous opportunities for a bit of regional education and fun activities,” said Smith. “The Venturer company is canoeing in Algonquin Park and conducting a survival camp.”

Last year, the 1st Kanata Scouts raised money for an Arctic expedition on Baffin Island.

Redshaw said her troop is looking at a trip to Powell River, B.C., or Killarney Provincial Park in Ontario.

Stodola added his group will use the funds raised to purchase new equipment.

“We need new tents,” he said, adding they also need lightweight stoves, flag stands and poles. “The main focus of our fundraiser is for gear.”

The money will also help send Scouts to the annual Canadian Jamboree, an event that brings together Scouts from across the country and around the world, which is being held in Sylvan Lake, Alta. in July.

RESERVE

The goal for each troop is to sell 330 barrels at rainbarrel.ca.

EMC news - A new workshop is offering suicide intervention training for adults who work around youth.

The Kanata Haven Youth Centre is hosting the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), a two-day workshop offered through LivingWorks, to provide adults and caregivers the opportunity to learn how to help someone at risk.

“This is for coaches, anyone that’s a leader or works with youth or anyone that’s interested,” said Diane McNulty, program director at the Haven. “This would be good for ... anyone working around youth and the vulnerable sector.”

LivingWorks grew out of a need for a foundation workshop in suicide first aid due to “a lack of adequate suicide intervention gatekeeper training among both community helpers and clinical professionals,” according to the website.

McNulty has taken the course herself.

“What you learn is invaluable,” she said. “It’s a really, really good workshop.”

The ASIST workshop fits in to the Haven’s Not Alone! project, an initiative to educate people about mental health and suicide. The program is also a support service for youth in the Kanata area who may be dealing with mental health issues or thoughts

of suicide.

“It puts the power back in the community,” said McNulty The training teaches leaders how to spot the signs, as well as what to do if someone approaches them about suicidal thoughts and how to connect them to available resources.

“This will teach you exactly what to do,” said McNulty.

Similar to first-aid training, the ASIST workshop will create simulations of real-life situations. There are only 15 spots available for the hands-on workshop. March 28 is the deadline to register and those who attend must be available both April 27 and 28 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The training will be held at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, 170 Castlefrank Rd. The cost is $180 per person and includes an intervention handbook, certificate and lunch.

“It’s a small, intimate workshop,” said McNulty, adding depending on the community response the Haven hopes to host more training sessions in the future.

For more information or to register, email diane@kanatahavenyouthcentre.com, and for details on the training, visit livingworks.net.

Studio tour offers new twist Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Oil and watercolour artist David Farrar poses with Evening Shadows, an oil landscape of an area along Murphy Side Road in Dunrobin.

EMC entertainment - Art lovers will have the opportunity to see where the magic happens during the 22nd annual Kanata Artists Studio Tour this May. Ten artists – two of them new to the weekend event – will open their homes and studios to the public, putting their passions on display. Karl Kischel, Beulah McLellan, Susan Goold, Judi Miller, Margaret (Peggy) Hughes, Elizabeth Potvin, David Farrar, Violeta Borisonik, Rosemary Randell and Janis Miller Hall will all be showing off their works, which range from colourful watercolours to abstract mixed-media pieces.

And in a new twist this year, three guest artists – Amie Talbot, RicharD Murphy, and Susan Ukkola – will also

be participating.

“There are lots of exciting new departures from the norm,” said Potvin, who has been involved with the tour since it began. “We decided it was time to spice it up a little bit.”

After 21 years of following a similar format, this year “is a chance to do something different,” she added. “It’s certainly punched up, revitalized.”

For McLellan, everything is new; it’s her first time participating in the tour as one of the feature artists.

“I’ve been on the tour before and there was an opening,” she said. “A couple of people suggested I join.”

The encaustic artist works primarily with hot wax to create pieces full of colour and texture.

“People are always surprised about the medium,” she said, adding one of the most frequent questions she gets is

“Can I touch it?” to which the answer is usually a yes.

McLellan said she’s looking forward to inviting people into her home.

“I’m excited about what people will think,” said McLellan. “It’s a very personal thing to expose what you do to the public.”

“We love Beulah’s work,” added Potvin. “It’s an exciting new element.”

Back for a second time is Farrar – a specialist in heraldic art, the illustrating of coats of arms, and a landscape artist.

Farrar, originally from Britain, designed the coat of arms on all Canadian dollar bills and enjoys capturing the scenery of rural Kanata and West Carleton on canvas with oils and watercolours.

He said his favourite aspect of the tour is meeting people in the community and having the chance to really get to know others he wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to talk to.

“I know my pharmacist now,” he said. “It makes a real sense of community.”

Farrar, who was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal earlier this year, will be sponsoring guest artist Talbot – who works primarily with coloured pencils – in his home studio.

“It’s a little bit humbling when people connect (with your art),” he said.

Kanata Lakes resident Potvin said the highlight of the event for many of the artists is interacting with the children who accompany their parents on the tour.

“Something we all enjoy is when families bring children around,” Potvin said, adding it’s an opportunity to introduce youth to the beauty and originality of artwork.

“It’s a chance to view original artwork in a home setting that’s not intimidating. It’s a great opportunity for people to enjoy art.”

Last year, Potvin said she had more than 500 people visit her studio over the weekend and she is hoping even more will venture out this year.

“When we’re working, we work in isolation,” said the watercolour artist. “It’s nice to be able to spread our wings and share what we do.”

With a market saturated with massproduced art and imitation pieces, the Kanata Artists Studio Tour gives the public the opportunity to view oneof-a-kind paintings, photographs and other mediums.

“Original artwork is just that, it’s original,” said Potvin.

The studio tour takes place the first weekend in May: on May 3 from 5 to 9 p.m., and May 4 and 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit kanataartists.com, email StudioTour@KanataArtists.com or call 613-592-0508.

EMC news - The era of the snowmobile was celebrated in a Vintage Snowmobile Rally Sunday, Feb. 17, starting from the Constance Bay Legion Branch 616. The route left the Legion and travelled to Gavan’s Hotel in Quyon, Que., about 12 kilometres.

“On a modern sled, it’s probably a 20-minute run,” said Organizer Mike O’Reilly. “On the old guys, it all depends on breakdowns and stops for socializing. It’s all about the memories, the nostalgia and hanging out with others who are enjoying recreating the vibe from 40 years ago.”

O’Reilly added that a 24-kilometre run, leaving at 10 a.m., is all the rally can do in a day.

“It is hard to get everyone back to the Legion for 3 p.m. because they are having so much fun.”

This year was the seventh annual Old Sled Run. “The event grew out of a Legion fundraising poker run founded by the late Rick Atchison, and Dave

This year the run netted in excess of $1,000, which goes toward the upkeep and programs at the Legion branch. A total of 92 riders registered.

“Without the assistance of all of the volunteers at the Legion, Treasurer Eleanor Crawley in particular, the day would not have been possible. Thanks also go to Jeff Campbell, who is my contact person in Quyon and a big booster in the Pontiac region. Jeff won Best of Show last year with one of his family’s Polaris’.”

Trophies for various prize categories were sponsored by City of Ottawa Ward 5 Councilor Eli ElChantiry. “We are most grateful for his support and he was along on the ride.”

City offers cash to civic-minded software developers Residents can submit ideas for second Apps4Ottawa contest until March 10 Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Civic-minded software developers can cash in from across the country with the second edition of the App 4Ottawa contest.

There is less money available this time around, but a total of $38,000 entirely sponsored by private companies will be available for tech-savvy Canadians who can take the city’s open data and turn it into a useful application for Ottawa residents. The first iteration of the contest in 2010 offered $50,000 in prize money, but it was all funded by the city.

Categories this year include: On the Move, Having Fun, Your City

and a new category for data analysis and visualization. Developers can draw on the 63 data sets and 121 data files on ottawa.ca that provide information on everything from childcare facilities to garbage schedules.

While techies stand to win money from the contest, Ottawa residents will see a great benefit in the form of useful new applications that make their lives easier and help them take advantage of city services, said IT subcommittee chairman, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney.

“It is a platform for citizens and developers to connect and innovate,” he said.

Before IT wizards get to work developing applications for the web

and mobile devices, residents can give their two cents in the Idea Jam. Until March 10, residents can submit ideas for the kinds of applications they would find useful at www.apps4ottawa.ca. Developers can refer to that list when deciding what kind of app they will create for the contest.

The period for app submissions will run from March 11 to May 12, and a jury of city staff, sponsors and members of the academic community will judge the apps starting May 13, and voting for the People’s Choice award will open during that time. The winners will be announced at a showcase in June.

Gaining a suite of corporate sponsors, including title sponsor Micro-

COUN. TIM TIERNEY

soft Canada, is a big deal, Tierney said. The sponsors are providing $3,000 for the top prize in each category, and Microsoft is kicking in an extra $2,000 for the best app built on the Microsoft Windows 8 or its Azure platform.

novation and community engagement are key for the company. Open data provides an opportunity for citizens to do something meaningful for their city and Microsoft wanted to be a part of that, he said.

“The data just provides this common language that connects the citizens with technology folks,” he said.

Partnering with the contest also provides new business opportunities for upstart developers in Ottawa – developers who might use Microsoft products and develop products to be used on Microsoft platforms and devices.

Mayor Jim Watson said he is looking forward to the creative ideas and apps that come out of the contest.

He expects to see more interest than the 90 entries the contest netted last time.

Making friends with the veterinarian EMC lifestyle - Taking your pet to the vet can be a trying experience.

Some pets will find it traumatic, but it’s critical to keeping your pet healthy and catching potential problems early on. Pets Plus Us, a pet owner community and insurance coverage provider, provides advice on finding the right vet and the importance of preventive care.

“The best advice I can give is to get your dog or cat used to going to the vet when they are young,” says Randy Valpy, the top dog at Pets Plus Us. “Another great tip is to ask your friends and family for a referral.”

When you take your pet to the vet, it’s a good idea to write down your questions ahead of time. If this is the annual visit, your vet will examine their eyes, teeth, and ears; will check their coat and skin for bumps and sores; and will listen to the heart and weigh them. The vet will likely also perform a musculoskeletal exam.

“We believe that every dog and cat benefits from annual vet checkups, vaccinations and dental care,” Valpy continued. “An annual trip to the vet is still the most effective way to keep your pet healthy and, in some cases, can help avoid emergency medical care.”

When you are taking your dog or cat to the vet, it’s a good idea to bring some treats or toys for them, particularly if they are anxious, Valpy said.

You’ll also want to have a leash handy to keep your pet close to you.

If your dog barks or bites, you’ll want to have them in a muzzle. You’ll also want to bring your insurance card if you have pet insurance. Visit www. petsplusus.com for more info.

My brother Earl wanted everyone to know he was giving up whittling.

Audrey thought it had to be something you ate, so Earl switched to turnips churn -- before that it was as white as the driven snow.

She was going through her religious phase and Audrey fell right in with Mother’s orders that we five children think long and hard at what we could give up in the name

of Lent.

My brother Earl wanted everyone to know he was giving up whittling. Audrey thought it had to be something you ate, so Earl switched to turnips.

Emerson, who said he was giving up pie, lasted one meal, so he switched to gum. His chances of getting a package of gum were pretty slim back in the 30s, so that wasn’t much of sacrifice for Emerson.

Everett loved dill pickles and he told everyone within earshot he wouldn’t be taking another dill until Mother told him Lent was over.

Now, I loved my food. I ate every meal as if it was my last one on earth. I hated head cheese and blood pudding, but this time of year our supply of both had pretty well run out. I had no idea what I could give up that wouldn’t seriously

affect my mealtimes. I thought long and hard, but couldn’t come up a thing.

I took my problem to my older and much wiser sister Audrey, who was always able to come up with a solution to just about anything that ailed me.

She suggested I give up either butterscotch discs or baloney, both of which she knew I loved with a passion, ever so much more that licorice pipes and humbugs which Mr. Briscoe often thrust in my hand at his general store. Little did he know, I either used them to bribe my brother Emerson or tossed them into the nearest shrubbery on the way home -- I had no taste for either.

Both of them always made me think of Cascara, which Mother had great faith in, and whether we needed it or not we were often made take a heaping spoonful “just in case.” In case of what I had no idea!

I knew perfectly well if I gave up baloney or butterscotch discs, I wouldn’t last a week.

I asked my sister Audrey if God would mind if I kept my sacrifice to myself. If it would be diluted if I gave something up, and told no one.

Audrey said she would think

s far as Father was concerned, Mother had taken this Lent business too far.

Giving up meat herself every Friday all year was one thing, but taking it off the menu for everyone during Lent was another kettle of fish altogether.

No meal was complete without a good platter of meat on the table, according to Father, and now Lent was here, whatever that meant.

Not only did Father think Mother’s idea of everyone giving up meat on Fridays was like asking a farmer to give up chores, but now she was pressing everyone to give up something they loved for the entire few weeks of Lent.

She suggested Father might want to give up his pipe: as if to show his defiance, he put a match to it, which was already going at full steam.

“It will be good discipline for the children,” Mother said and she asked us to think long and hard at what each of us could sacrifice.

Mother said if we wanted, we could give up something and not tell anyone else what it was. It would be our secret between us and God. Well, my sister Audrey wanted everyone to know she was giving up butter. Audrey loved butter,

EMC news - The RCMP is warning the public of a computer scam after they have been receiving reports from individuals who say their computers are being frozen or they have been “locked out� of their computers after receiving pop- up messages warning them their computer has been associated with pornography.

These warning messages, which claim to be from the RCMP, tell the recipient to pay $100 via Ukash so their computer can be “unlocked�.

Recipients of this pop- up messages are further warned that if they do not pay the $100 fine within 72 hours criminal proceedings will commence against them.

These types of messages, commonly known as scareware, are designed to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly.

If you receive one of these messages, please be aware that it is a scam - these messages are not being issued by the RCMP. Do not pay the $100. If you have been locked out of your computer, it’s an indicator that your system may have been infected with malware and you will need to take steps to address the problem.

The RCMP offer the following tips to help keep your computer protected: • Never click on a pop-up that claims your computer has a virus. • Update your anti-virus software often and scan your computer for viruses regularly. • Don’t click on links or attachments in e-mails sent to you by someone you don’t know. • Turn on your browser’s pop-up blocking feature. • Never download anti-virus software from a pop-up link sent to you in an email If you’ve received a scareware message, please contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-4958501) to report it.

Magician aims to play with minds at new show Raffle to be drawn to help raise money for charity Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Local illusionist and hypnotist Jaymes White is looking forward to playing with his audiences’ minds at his next show at the Arts Court.

Paradox, as the show is called, will be a magical night of mind reading and hypnotism on March 9. White, who has been a magician since age six, is looking forward to this new show in particular.

“I have been working on this show for two years,” White said.

“The cool thing about this show is that the audience is part of the show, with anyone from the audience having the chance to participate.”

Written by White and some friends, Paradox is a play on the mind, with a focus on the audience members, he said. He will combine hypnotism and showmanship to make what he calls crazy effects to wow the audience.

SUBMITTED IMA ORTEGA

Jaymes White will be playing with peoples minds on March 9.

The hypnotist, illusionist and magician will perform his new show Paradox at the Arts Court.

Those who have the opportunity to go on stage will be chosen randomly by White, who will do so by tossing a small voodoo doll named Freddy into the crowd. This is to ensure he plays no part in choosing his participants.

White could then do a number of different tricks, such as getting a participant to think the way he wants them to, connect their mind with that of another participant or performing magic tricks.

“It’s all about creating the impossible and making people believe,” he said.

White got his start in magic through books he checked out from the local libraries. Ever since, he said he’s turned into a perfectionist, spending many nights practicing his craft.

In fact, the recent Carleton University graduate obtained a psychology degree so he could better understand how the mind works -- all to help bend reality and people’s per-

ceptions even further.

“It’s all about getting into people’s mind and finding out ways to influence people to think of something I want them to,” White said.

He would eventually like to take his show on the road, something that is getting closer to reality. He is currently in talks with several Canadian colleges and is hoping to organize a campus tour for this fall.

The March 9 show is sold out, but those who do not have tickets needn’t worry, as White promises another show will take place sooner, rather than later, citing the fact this show sold out so quickly.

“It was crazy, it sold out in three days,” he said. “I didn’t know it was going to go as fast as it did.”

The event is part of the magician’s ongoing efforts to help raise money for various causes. The evening will consist of selling raffle tickets, with prizes supplied by White’s sponsors and at the end of the performance he will raffle off Freddy to one lucky audience member.

Brighten up your winter meals with fresh citrus fruits EMC lifestyle - It may be cold and bleak outside, but your meals don’t have to be. Preparing meals with a sweet splash of citrus not only adds flavour, but also nutrients that can help energize you during the dreary months.

“While many fresh fruits and vegetables are out of season in winter, Florida grapefruit is at its peak,” says registered dietitian Lydia Knorr.

“Citrus fruit and juices have tremendous flavour, provide your body with a natural boost in energy and are an excellent source of vitamin C.” As a flavour agent and source of essential nutrients, citrus can bring sunshine to any meal.

This recipe incorporates citrus fruit and juice for a Thai chicken and grapefruit noodle salad.

INGREDIENTS

• 375 g (12 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced • 45 ml (3 tbsp) canola oil, divided • 30 ml (2 tbsp) grapefruit juice • 30 ml (2 tbsp) Thai red curry paste • 15 ml (1 tbsp) grated fresh ginger, divided • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fish sauce • 15 ml (1 tbsp) rice vinegar • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) granulated sugar

• 180 g (6 oz) rice stick noodles • 2 ruby red grapefruits, peeled and segmented • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced • 250 ml (1 cup) bean sprouts • 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped peanuts • 1 green onion, thinly sliced • 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh mint PREPARATION

Combine chicken with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the canola oil, grapefruit juice, curry paste and 10 ml (2 tsp) of the ginger. Coat evenly and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk the remaining oil, ginger, fish sauce, vinegar and sugar. Set aside.

Cook the noodles for two minutes, then drain, rinse and place them in bowl. Add the grapefruit, red pepper, bean sprouts, peanuts and green onion. Drizzle with dressing, toss well and set aside.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, stir fry chicken for about eight minutes, until it is no longer pink. Spoon over noodles and toss.

Sprinkle with mint before serving.

Bluesfest announces diverse lineup steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Organizers are promising a diverse musical experience for this year’s RBC Bluesfest, with booked performers designed to appeal to fans across a wide musical spectrum.

The Bluesfest 2013 lineup was announced Feb. 27 amid great anticipation as well as speculation after last year’s festival garnered criticism for its inclusion of what some concert-goers thought was too many electronic acts and too few blues acts.

Organizers clearly hoped to change that impression with a something-for-everyone lineup, which includes popular indie/alternative acts like fun., Tegan and Sara, Alex Clare, Mother Mother, Passion Pit and Weezer, along with classic rock acts like Rush, The Tragically Hip and Grand Funk Railroad.

Electronic fans can still look forward to seeing Skrillex, while blues fans can anticipate a performance by blues legend B.B. King. Even eccentric Icelandic singer Bjork is on the bill. In total, more than 2,500

musicians will be featured on six stages located at Lebreton Flats – five outdoors and one 250-seat indoor theatre “We consider this year’s line-up to be one of the best of any across North America.

It reaches out to a wide-ranging demographic with cutting edge performances as well as festival favourites,” said programming director Mark Mo-

nahan in a media release.

Now in its 20th year, Bluesfest will run over 10 days, starting July 4 and wrapping up July 14. The theme will be “Take Me to the River” and organizers plan to make further announcements regarding confirmed performers in the coming weeks.

The festival generates tens of millions of dollars worth of

economic activity for the city each year, through accommodations, food and tourism.

Hockey helps city’s homeless Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC sports - It’s 9 a.m. on a Friday morning at the Bell Sensplex and Barb Gray waits anxiously in the hallway of the Bell Sensplex.

In less than half an hour she and her Freedom 55 Financial teammates will play their first game in the Hockey Helps the Homeless tournament, sharing the ice with Canadian Women’s Hockey League players Haley Irwin and Carolyne Prevost.

This is Gray’s second year competing in the charity hockey tournament.

“I played last year. It was probably one of the best experiences in hockey in the 10-plus years I’ve played recreational hockey,” she said. “It was a real treat to share the locker room on the ice with two women hockey pros: Caroline Ouellette and Anne-Sophie Bettez.”

The players were all treated like professionals as soon as they showed up at the rink, said Gray, with tournament volunteers collecting their equipment bags at the front doors and all participants receiving professionallystitched jerseys.

It was also nice to know the money raised at the tournament would help some of the city’s most vulnerable citizens, with the funds going to the Ottawa Mission and Ottawa Innercity Ministries, she said.

“It was very worthwhile to get an in-depth understanding of the needs of the community,” Gray said.

Amanda Shaw, a defenceman with the CWHL Toronto Furies, greeted participants at the door of the Sensplex for the March 1 tournament, helping organizers with registration.

“I was part of the very first (Hockey Helps the Homeless) women’s event,

which was in Toronto,” she said. “It’s an amazing cause.”

The tournament helps educate people about some of the causes of homelessness, such as mental illness and abusive home environments, she added.

“I think it’s really important to get the word out about homelessness in the community.”

cause of a lack of interest from participants and volunteers.

But interest in the tournament picked up after the media reported on the charity’s organizing problems, with several volunteers stepping forward, including Kanata’s Dave Edgecomb, co-chairman of last year’s event.

This year’s co-chairperson is Judy Thompson, a former chairwoman of the HOPE volleyball charity tournament and several other charities. Thompson said she decided to volunteer when she heard about the tournament’s organizing difficulties in the media.

Thompson and co-chairman Mike Coughlin headed up a team of eight core volunteers to organize the tournament and 25 event-day volunteers.

This year’s tournament is expected to raise more than $110,000, said Thompson. The final numbers weren’t immediately available.

Most of the money is collected through registration fees and individual fundraising, with a smaller amount coming from corporate sponsorship.

“We’re certainly over the $100,000 mark,” she said. “It’s a great day for a great cause.”

Organizers were hoping to raise $150,000 at this year’s event, with the money going to support the Ottawa Mission and Ottawa Innercity Ministries. Last year’s tournament raised $106,000.

Almost 8,000 people used Ottawa shelters in 2011, said Ken MacLaren, executive director of Ottawa Innercity Ministries.

Organizers of the tournament estimate there are between 150,000 and 300,000 homeless people in Canada, with children and young families comprising a growing segment of the homeless population.

“It’s going up,” he said. “There’s

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide THIRD-ANNUAL EVENT

Hockey Helps the Homeless is an annual event played in major cities across Canada. It allows hockey enthusiasts to play three games on a team with National Hockey League and CWHL alumni, such as former Ottawa Senators Laurie Boschman and Brad Marsh.

Eight men’s teams and six women’s teams suited up for the third-annual Ottawa tournament.

For a $150 registration fee, participants received a team jersey with their name on the back and an invitation to a dinner and a silent auction.

In addition, every participant was expected to fundraise a minimum of $150.

Every year, the event raises between $150,000 to $200,000 in each of the participating cities such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, with 35 per cent of the money used to pay cost of running the tournaments.

At the Ottawa tournament, each team played three games with a championship final at the end of the day for both the men’s and women’s sides.

The event also featured a game between the NHL alumni versus the CWHL pros.

The Ottawa tournament almost didn’t happen last year. Organizers were forced to postpone the event be-

I think the economy has something to do with it.”

Ottawa Innercity Ministries received $8,000 last year from the tournament, using the money for its Passion for Youth art program.

A group of 20 youth – many with experience living on the street – participated in the program and their work was put on display at an art show and auction.

“We’re looking to build self esteem in kids,” said MacLaren. “We also work with them with volunteer mentors.”

The mentors help the youth par-

ticipants realize personal goals such as completing high school or getting a job.

The Ottawa Mission used its share of the funds raised by last year’s tournament for its food services training program, buying classroom supplies and textbooks.

Hockey Helps the Homeless also raises awareness about the problem of homelessness in Ottawa, said Shirley Roy, a spokesperson for the Ottawa Mission.

“It draws in people who might not come down to the shelter,” she said.

“Hockey Helps the Homeless is a great community event to educate people about some of the issues surrounding homelessness.”

EMC sports - A Bridlewood woman is looking to improve on her top-10 finish at last year’s junior world snowboarding championship.

“I’m hoping to get top-three this year, that’s my goal,” said Natalie Allport, who placed ninth in last year’s competition, first among Canadian women.

This year’s junior world championship is being held in Erzurum, Turkey from March 4 to 10.

She headed into the competition fresh off an injury to her heel suffered in a world cup competition in January, which didn’t allow her to train for the past month.

“Hopefully it will come back to me quickly and I can get a podium result,” she said.

Allport has a busy month ahead of her: after finishing the junior worlds, the 19-year-old plans to head for Calgary, where she will compete in the Snow Crown - Canadian Snowboard Championships from March 10 to 17.

But the biggest competition is five years down the road, she said.

“My main long-term goal is to be on the podium in 2018,” said Allport, who hopes to compete in the slopestyle competition – a course of snowboard obstacles such as jumps and rails – at the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Slope snowboarding will make its debut in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

“I think it’s a challenge,” she said. “It takes a lot of work to master different tricks and different runs. It’s a bit of an adrenaline thing. You’re doing 60-foot jumps, so it’s an extreme sport.”

The International Olympic Committee’s executive board announced in February the addition of ski and snowboard slopestyle to the Winter Olympics starting in 2014.

Slopestyle contestants are judged on style, the difficulty of the tricks and the overall flow in the run.

Allport has a long and expensive road ahead

Natalie Allport of her – she estimates it costs between $10,000 to $20,000 a year on travel, training and on competition fees, money earned working full time over the summer and collected from sponsors and government grants.

Allport took up the sport of snowboarding eight years ago at a “small hill” at Mount Pakenham. She now trains with the Simple Snowboarding team in Barrie, Ont. “I started taking things more seriously, (entering) more competitions,” she said.

When she’s not on the slopes, Allport can be found in the classroom at Algonquin College, where she is a part-time student in a three-year business administration program, majoring in marketing.

“Once I can no longer be a professional snowboarder, I would like to be a sport agent, maybe even have my agency,” she said.

Kanata baseball to host junior provincials Registration is open until April 19 for Little League Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Kanata Little League Baseball Association has an exciting 2013 season planned and will host the junior provincial tournament in July this year.

As host, Kanata will automatically be entered into the tournament.

“The provincials are big,” said association president Paul O’Kane.

“It’s an honour to be chosen (as host).”

The winner of the tournament will advance to the Canadian Championship, to be held in Lethbridge, Alta.

“These are the best junior-age kids in Ontario that will participate,” said O’Kane.

The Kanata junior team will be chosen in June, he added.

Right now, he said the committee is working hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and is currently looking for sponsors for the event.

The senior district tournament will also be hosted by Kanata, as will the annual Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament.

“It’s a hundred per cent non-profit tournament with all proceeds going

to CHEO,” said O’Kane. “We host teams from all over Ontario, Quebec and the eastern United States.”

The baseball tournament began in 1996 in memory of 11-year-old Scott Tokessy. Three days shy of his birthday, he hit a home run during a game and collapsed in the dugout from an irregular heartbeat.

With numerous tournaments being hosted in Kanata, the association is looking for volunteers to help co-ordinate the events.

“Our volunteer force is going to be very, very busy,” he said. “They’re the bread and butter of making Kanata baseball successful.”

Anyone can volunteer, said O’Kane, adding high school students can receive volunteer hours.

“We will never turn a kid away, but the more our numbers grow, the more help we will need.”

REGISTRATION

Registration for the Kanata Little League Baseball Association’s 2013 season is currently underway.

Early registration for a deduction in fees must be completed by March 18. The final date for in-person registration is March 22 at the Bell Sensplex, from 5 to 8 p.m. with the final date to register set for April 19.

Currently, there are 506 players registered, with a projected growth

Spring is almost upon us

to 545 this year, said O’Kane.

The association, which offers programs for youth ages four to 19, covers the Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond and Munster Hamlet areas, and recently added two areas from West Carleton this year.

“We have acquired two small new areas around the Carp and Dunrobin area,” said O’Kane.

The spring baseball season begins in May and ends in June, with competitive programs taking place in the summer.

The association hosts its annual Pitch, Hit & Run competition in May, and is open to competitors ages six to 18 at all skill levels.

And for the first time in years, the association has a full executive, which is made up entirely of volunteers: • President: Paul O’Kane • Vice-president of house: Jeff Dever • Vice-president of summer and competitive programs: Mark Bradley • Vice-president of player development: Dan Kyle • Registrar: Lynnette Weatherall • Secretary: Kristin Kyle • Treasurer: Mark McConnell “These people are amazing,” said O’Kane. “The time they put in is fantastic.

Ottawa women’s hockey team to don Livestrong colours Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports - A month after head coach Dan Church’s father passed away from cancer, the national women’s hockey team announced they would don yellow and black for their first game of the world championships in Ottawa.

The Livestrong jersey celebrates a cancer charity, Livestrong, started by cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Agosta said the team was quick to embrace the third jersey, because everyone has been affected by cancer at some point, not just Church.

“I think we’re doing something for everybody who has lost somebody whose near and dear to them,” she said. “When we found out about it, we were very excited to hop on board.

It’s going to make the atmosophere that much better.”

She also said she’s excited to be coming back to Ot-

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

From left, national team hockey players Gillian Apps, Meghan Agosta, Jayna Hefford and Tessa Bonhomme show off the yellow and black Livestrong jerseys that Team Canada will wear in their first game of the world championships in Ottawa in April. They unveiled the jerseys at Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre on Feb. 27. tawa, which she described as “hockey city” after playing at Scotiabank Place in 2010.

She thinks Ottawa will break records again, after setting a women’s hockey game attendance record after 16,347 fans

came out to watch Canada play the U.S.A. on Jan. 1, 2010.

The women’s world hockey championships get underway in under a month, with the first preliminary round games kicking off on April 2.

For the first game of the women’s world hockey championships on April 2, the special third jersey will be worn.

“Hockey Canada has changed colours of jerseys before, but they’ve never changed

the colour of the logo, so this is a very special time,” said player Meghan Agosta.

Agosta, along with teammates Gillian Apps, Jayna Hefford and Tessa Bonhomme were at SportChek at Place

d’Orléans Shopping Centre on Feb. 27 to unveil the jerseys.

Livestrong Foundation president and CEO Doug Ulman was in Ottawa for the presentation, and highlighted one of the programs that Livestrong funds, called cancer transitions.

He said the transition program helps cancer survivors “find the new normal” after they finish treatment.

“As a cancer survivor myself, I can tell you the impact these programs have,” he said.

Church said that besides losing his father, he had a player at York University diagnosed with cancer just over a week into the season.

“She said to me, “Coach, I can’t play this year, I’ve just been diagnosed with cancer.’

She’s a cancer survivor, won her battle,” he said. “The grace and dignity she had during her fight with cancer had … a strong impact on me (and) all the athletes that she played with for many years.”

Soccer enthusiasts decide to go with the Ottawa Fury FC Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC sports – Ottawa’s North American Soccer League franchise will be called the Ottawa Fury FC, owners announced during a press conference on Feb. 25 at Algonquin College.

The decision follows a teamnaming contest that generated more than 4,000 suggestions.

Club president and owner John Pugh said they saw no reason of changing the name that is already associated with success.

“After so much deliberation, we decided that no name surpassed that of the Fury, which already associates Ottawa across Canada and the United States with the winning culture, success on the field, stability off the field and an attractive brand of soccer,” he said amid cheers from fans who waited eagerly for the announcement.

The only change imbedded in the name is FC, for football club.

“Football is the name of the world’s game and yes, we are a football club,” said Pugh The franchise will commence league play in 2014 after the major stadium reconstruction project at Frank Clair Stadium at Lansdowne Park is completed.

NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson said the hard work that has been put into the project will ensure success both on and off of the field for many years to come.

“We are very proud as part of the NASL to have Ottawa part of this league and we are looking forward to working together with the community and the club to create a lot of excitement and a lot of passion in the city,” he said.

Peterson said the NASL has grown to 12 teams including Ottawa.

“Everyone is working very hard and is excited about the momentum we are generating throughout North America and we are very optimistic about the future of the league and about our future here,” he said.

He said they expect more than 800,000 people to attend the NASL games in 2014 once new teams are onboard.

Indianapolis and Virginia will join in 2014.

“We continue to see growth and excitement and we expect to see Ottawa be part of that,” said Peterson.

“Fans are part of the entertainment at soccer games,” he said.

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said the partnership between the city and Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group to revitalize Lansdowne Park and its stadium means, “we will have a premium venue to watch the stars of the game take to the field.”

He said the presence of the NASL team in Ottawa will encourage more youth to try the game and inspire them to be the stars of tomorrow.

“Ottawa is a good fit for a vibrant league like the NASL, said Monette.

We look forward to welcoming the new team at Lansdowne Park in 2014.”

The Fury women’s program won the W-League North American Championship last July, while the men’s program has captured division titles in three of the past four seasons, and Fury’s youth academy has seen its boys program ranked first in North America over the past two years among Super YLeague clubs.

The Canadian Football Institute is organizing the 5 on 5 Youth Flag Football program, which will start up on May 25. Scott Endicott, the institute’s president, said it is for youth looking to become more familiar with the rules of the game.

“The biggest thing about the program is that its non-competitive,” he said. It’s all about having fun.”

The sessions will run every Saturday for two hours, with a half hour practice before the games.

The teams are coached by volunteers and the league is also looking for parents to help out with the teams.

The program will cost $250 for the season, which lasts for five weeks, but the price ensures each child will have a chance to play every position in the weekly games, he said.

The institute hopes this program, which also runs in other cities, will help to raise the game’s profile in Canada.

Winter running: be prepared Janik Shannon

EMC sports - For those living in the nation’s capital, running during the winter season can prove to be a dangerous feat.

With temperatures dropping down to almost 40-below, it’s no wonder we hear about slips and falls causing grave injuries.

Judy Thomson, store manager at

the Orléans Running Room, says the biggest cause of injury during winter running is people falling on ice. This can lead to twisted ankles, broken wrists or banged up elbows.

Although adapting from summer running to winter running seems terrifying to those new to it, it’s a transition that can be made easier with the help of a few accessories and layers.

“A lot of people have to look in

(their) closet because you might already have something for downhill skiing, skating on the canal or for Winterlude,” said Thomson.

The most important apparel needed is a breathable base layer along with a windbreaker jacket, gloves or mitts, a tuque or balaclava, thermal socks and the right shoes.

Thomson says that a part of running which people tend to neglect

is nutrition and keeping hydrated.

Although you might not think of needing water while running during the winter, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated. Nutrition-wise, it’s easy to lose sight of sugar levels, so an easy solution is to have a Gatorade or similar beverage after your run.

For some people, their opinions regarding winter running cannot be changed.

“It isn’t that great for your lungs,” Alanna Carolyn said of cold-weather runs. “Mine hurt and I coughed for a few days when I ran in the cold. Then

I read up on it (and) they say it isn’t very good in really cold weather.”

Still worried about running outside? There are indoor gyms all over Orléans that can be used as alternatives.

There are also plenty of websites and applications that can be of use when it comes to finding running routes and tracking your progress such as Map My Run, Runner’s World, Run Ottawa Club and Run My Route.

There’s always the possibility that a fall may happen, but by being careful and properly equipped your chances can definitely be lowered.

JANIK SHANNON

With snow falls such as the ones greeting the arrival of March, it becomes essential for runners to stay aware of winter risks. The layers will start coming off with spring-like weather, but hydration, nutrition and other precautions are still key to healthy running.

Kanata area pets go online SiriusK9 Rescue

EMC news - SiriusK9 Rescue Kanata has joined other animal welfare organizations in the area that

list their homeless pets on Petfinder, the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the Internet.

The site currently has more than 315,000 homeless pets listed and is

updated continuously.

More than 13,400 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada and other countries post their pets on the site.

Pets may be viewed at www. petfinder.com.

A potential adopter enters search criteria for the kind of pet he or she wants, and a list is returned that ranks the pets in proximity to the zip code entered.

Adoptions are handled by the animal placement group where the pet is housed, and each group has its

own policies.

Petfinder.com was created in early 1996 as a grassroots project

by Jared and Betsy Saul to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets.

Support volunteers recognized eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC community – About 200 dedicated volunteers from Ottawa Community Support Coalition agencies across Ottawa were recognized for sharing their time, efforts, skills and heart at Volunteer Factor Recognition Conference held on Feb. 27 at the RA Centre.

The volunteers provide community and home-based professional services to seniors and adults with physical disabilities.

“We organized this conference to give back to the volunteers the gift that they give to us,” said Serge Falardea, shared services co-ordinator for the coalition.

The coalition helps strengthen and promote home and community support as the foundation of a sustainable health-care system.

Though it’s been hard recruiting new volunteers, Falardea said it was important to thank those around for the difference

they make each and every day.

“They make the lives of others richer by their actions,” he said.

He said volunteers provide key services that enable seniors maintain a higher level of independence within their own home.

What makes us stay is that sense of fulfillment, of satisfaction, connectedness and community.

MATTHEW BEUTEL UNITED WAY

Manotick resident Trevor Wright, a volunteer driver with the Rural Ottawa South Support Services, said it was refreshing to be recognized.

“I get to meet a lot of fascinating people when I do this, and

the comments I get back from my clients is, we wouldn’t be able to stay in our own homes if it wasn’t for the volunteers,” said Wright.

The conference was organized to reinforce volunteers’ skills as well as give them new tools to assist them in their volunteer roles.

Chantale LeClerc, interim chief executive officer of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, eastern Ontario’s health authority, said there are about five million people who volunteer in community not-forprofit sector that provide services to some of the most need and vulnerable people in Ontario.

“For every paid person who works in the not-for-profit sector, there are about eight volunteers,” she said. “You can imagine that sector would simply not function without volunteers.”

LeClerc added that organizations like the one she is heading would not provide the kind of

support and services that are so needed by people in the communities were it not for the volunteers.

“You are actually the backbone of that sector.We are very grateful for the work that you do,” said LeClerc.

Canadians in 2010 gave two billion hours of volunteer time, which is equivalent to one million full time jobs, said Matthew Beutel representing United Way, one of the organizations benefiting from volunteer work.

“Ten per cent of those who volunteered gave 53 per cent of the number of hours that were volunteered,” said Beutel. “The agencies you work for could not do what they do without you.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of those agencies.”

Beutel has himself worked as a volunteer for 25 years.

“What makes us stay is that sense of fulfillment, of satisfaction, connectedness and community,” he said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COUNCILLOR I’m often asked what I do each day, so I thought I’d tell you about one day last week.

On Wednesday, February 27th, I arose at 6:30 a.m. to snow storm reports. At 7:15, I drove to Stittsville, through sleet and snow for a breakfast meeting with the Kanata Chamber of Commerce. There was a presentation on LinkedIn and time for discussion with local business owners. Then I drove through light snow to City Hall, where I returned calls and had discussions with my staff. After that, I attended the City Council meeting for approval of reports, including zoning for the Outlet Mall off Huntmar. Lunch was pizza at a DIFD (Do it for Daron) fundraiser for youth mental health.

Next, I had a discussion with a staff member about fundraising for our recreation complex and responded to emails. Then I drove through steady snowfall to Walden Village, where the Rock-a-Thon was cancelled. So I proceeded through heavy snowfall along the Goulbourn Forced Road to the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata (RRCK) construction site for the regular partners meeting. In my steel-toed boots, safety vest and hard hat, I slogged through the snow to the meeting trailer. This was a contrast to a muddy tour of the Lansdowne site the previous day! Work on the RRCK is well under way, with the pool enclosure under construction and most of the building now closed in.

I left at 4:30 for the 10th anniversary open house of Kanata high-tech company Optelian, getting stuck in the snow in the process. I met Optelian founders and staff. We had a discussion about the company’s growth and the new Kanata North Business Improvement Area, and I toured their manufacturing area (yes we still have manufacturing in Kanata). Optelian exports 95% of their production.

I arrived home at 6:40, just as my husband finished clearing the driveway. The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association meeting was still on, so I made my way to their Community Centre for their AGM and discussion on 2 The Parkway. Key was how the building would fit into the community. They agreed to attend a meeting with me and the developer the next day to work things out. I returned home by 9:45 for a late supper, then responded to emails and retired at11:30.

I set the alarm for 6:30 so I’d make the Mayor’s breakfast in time as the snow was still falling …

EMC news - Opera Lyra will honour the 200th anniversary of a famous composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth later this month with a limited-time performance his beloved opera.

The Ottawa-based opera company will perform La Traviata in concert at the National Arts Centre on March 21 and 23, which will help mark composer Guiseppe Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200th birthday.

Tyrone Paterson, Opera Lyraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, will conduct the National Arts Centre Orchestra for the performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud to present this exciting cast which beautifully captures the pathos of Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great opera, La Traviata,â&#x20AC;? Paterson said.

Eric Margiore, Gregory Dahl and a supporting cast of graduates from Opera Lyraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio program will join Winters on the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These talented singers will stir your imagination through the music of this bittersweet love story,â&#x20AC;? Paterson said.

Suzuki, Rubin captivate Centretown audience Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Despite a few setbacks before and during the event, environmentalist David Suzuki and former CIBC economist Jeff Rubin captivated their audience at Centretown United Church on Feb. 26.

The lecture and book-signing event was hosted by independent bookstore Octopus Books as part of the pair’s Eco Tour across the country. Rubin is promoting his book The End of Growth, which argues that high oil prices will slow the economy while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions

- both good things.

Suzuki complemented Rubin’s point with his idea that people, politicians and nations need to stop prioritizing human constructs like the economy and make clean air, water and soil the top priority.

“In a city our highest priority becomes our job,” he told the audience.

“You need a job to give you money to buy the things you want. The economy is perceived as our highest priority.”

He said society created the economy to serve us, and now we live to serve the economy: we are under constant pressure to consume more stuff to keep the economic engine chugging.

“Ever since the end of World War Two we’ve been afflicted with a terrible appetite for stuff,” Suzuki added.

“We love to shop.”

The evening was supposed to be moderated by CBC radio host Robin Bresnahan, but when she fell ill federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May stepped in at the last minute - a pleasant surprise for the many environmentalists in the audience.

The two intellectuals, on paper, may not seem likely tour buddies.

Rubin is the former chief economist for CIBC World Markets, where he worked for more than 20 years. Suzuki, a geneticist, is best known for his views on the environment and sustainable ecology.

But the pair agree that humans can’t keep living the way they are if they want to survive - and they both agree that a slowing economy is good for us in the long run.

“When a real economist tells us we’re at the end of growth, I got excited,” Suzuki told the audience, joking that no one listens to environmentalists on such matters. “No one can tell him he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”

Rubin said that while recessions and economic slowdowns “make environmentalists lament” because their cause is inevitably shunted to the back of the line, in reality a slower economy means lighter emissions and less consumption.

Despite its success the event had its rocky moments. Minutes before the event was supposed to start, an Octopus Books employee asked the audience to call 911 to remove a Sun News reporting team, who wanted to film the event. May, however, stepped in, shouting “Only Rob Ford calls 911 for media.” She hugged the reporter and cameraman and asked them to return at the end of the event for oneon-one interviews.

And minor calamity struck again when just a few minutes into his presentation Rubin tripped and fell off the raised platform that served as their stage. He recovered quickly and the lecture continued smoothly for the rest of the evening.

Rainbow youth forum focuses on families Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - S. Bear Bergman and j. wallace may not have a traditional family, but they have surrounded themselves with people who care about them.

“Don’t look to fit your family into the traditional roles that are there for you,” wallace said. “Do what you need to have people around you that you love.”

Bergman and wallace, who prefers his name be spelled in lowercase, spoke at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s eighth annual Rainbow Youth Forum on Feb. 26.

The forum was designed to provide space for the board’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, two spirit, and queer (GLBTTQ) youth.

Corinne Davison, instructional coach in the public board, said the day-long series of workshops provides staff and students with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and their awareness about equity and diversity issues.

“The forum is aligned with the (school board’s) efforts to embed character education and cultural proficiency into our daily practice and it encourages safer, more inclusive school environments,” she said.

This year’s theme was Our Fami-

lies and Our Stories.

Bergman and wallace are both transgendered and are married with a little boy named Stanley. The pair talked to students about their coming out stories and then about the makeup of their family.

“I came out to my family in stages,” wallace said. “First I came out as a vegetarian, which my mother said was a phase and then I came out as a lesbian.”

Wallace’s mother accepted the choice, but didn’t want the grandparents to know.

“I could hide I was a lesbian from my grandfather, but then when I was going through a sex change it was difficult to hide, so it would have meant not seeing him.”

Wallace described the coming out story to the students at the Confederation Education Centre. It had a surprisingly good ending, with wallace’s grandfather saying he was “growing up to be a fine young man.”

Bergman’s parents also experienced what was described as coming out fatigue.

“It got to a point where I would say, ‘I have something to tell you’ and they would say, ‘No, we are still dealing with the last thing,’” Bergman said.

But in the public forum, Bergman was out and happy to answer any questions.

S. Bear Bergman talks about the challenges of being a nontraditional family during the Rainbow Youth Forum held on Feb. 26.

“I felt like it was when I was a kid and I was the only Jewish kid in my class and I would have to give a talk with a yarmulke, some candles and some things my mom baked,” Bergman said.

So when the time came to talk about LGBTTQ issues, Bergman said it was natural to try and educate people.

“I would come out and talk. If there had been official baked goods from the gay community I would have brought them,” Bergman said.

Along with a friend who had two

mothers, Bergman formed one of the first gay-straight alliances in an American school.

Now, an author, poet and playwright, Bergman makes a living educating people. wallace is also an educator, having worked for the Halton District School Board.

The couple has a three-year-old who sometimes identifies as a boy, sometimes as a girl, and most often as a mid-size dragon.

“He’s comfortable asking people if they’d like to be addressed as a he, she or they,” wallace said.

Stanley would have been named Stanley whether he was born a girl or a boy. He has a unusual list of relatives, his sperm donor is referred to as Spunkle Joseph and his paternal grandparents as Grand Spunkle and Grand Sparkle – he even has a fairy gods mother.

“He has the longest list of people who are authorized to pick him up of any other kid at the daycare,” Bergman said.

Wallace said there have been some challenges with parenting in a transgendered partnership – complete with a series of phone calls to modify Stanley’s birth certificate so wallace and Bergman could be listed as his father.

“I practically carry around the Ontario Human Rights Code in my

pocket,” wallace said. “People like it when you have a solution for them that fits with the law.”

Donna Blackburn, the public school board trustee that represents parts of Nepean and Barrhaven, said she was happy to be able to attend the event.

“There certainly wouldn’t have been anything like this when I was going to high school,” she said.

Blackburn, the school’s first openly-gay trustee, started putting together a team to march in the city’s Pride Parade two years ago. She invited all the students to join this year.

“If you feel safe and secure at school, you will have a better chance at success,” she said.

After the keynote speeches, students broke off to attend a series of workshops about topics like starting gay-straight alliances, coming out and queer history.

Jennifer Adams, Director of education for the board also shared a letter from a mother whose son was in the process of changing his identity to female.

“She wanted to thank the principal and a couple of teachers for helping her child through the transition,” Adams said. “I am so proud of the respect that students and staff have for each other. The OCDSB is a place where we all belong.”

EMC news - Sometimes, the word “can’t” seems more like the word “impossible.”

Can’t is like a brick wall, and once you hit it, it doesn’t seem worthwhile to keep trying.

Chapel Hill resident and former Algonquin student Kyle Humphrey knows what it’s like to be told that he can’t do something. Humphrey was born with spina bifida, a condition that sees the spine on the outside the body and he wasn’t expected to be able to walk, sit up or stand. He’s accomplished all three.

Humphrey, 23, launched an initiative called No Such Thing As Can’t last November. Its mission is to teach people that can’t is just a mindset and to help people who face physical challenges live to their full potential.

“NSTAC is a program that hopes to redefine ability and the way we interact with one another,” said Humphrey. “My hope is that one day the word ‘disabled’ will no longer be used when referring to a person.”

Since birth, Humphrey had over 80 surgeries with CHEO and has Arnold-Chiari syndrome and hydrocephalus. Arnold-Chiari is a defect that can slow the flow of spinal fluid and hydrocephalus is a build-up of fluid on the brain. But he doesn’t let any of that hold him back.

“There is no ‘can’t’ in my vocabulary,” said Humphrey.

During the Christmas holidays, he received several bags of rubber band bracelets to help spread awareness, and there’s a Facebook page where people interested in participating in NSTAC can comment, like or share the page. Humphrey is also working on an official webpage, looking into getting NSTAC hats and shirts and writing a rap with local Ottawa artist Rishi Sood to promote the initiative.

“I think it’s a great idea; those five words can actually be a really powerful phrase,” said Charles Soifer, close friend of Humphrey. “It can really keep someone’s head above water.”

Soifer said he believes people can benefit from NSTAC because those who’ve had a hard time in their lives can help each other and make others feel less alone. It’s an initiative where everyone involved gets a chance to help others who need it. But like any new initiative, things are starting out slow.

“I think that for me, my biggest struggle is finding people who will listen, finding people who will take the time and say ‘Yeah, we should change that, we should change our views on this,’” said Humphrey. “I think that’s the biggest struggle for everybody. Everybody who has any kind of difference, whether it’s physical, social, mental, what-

KYLE HUMPHREY ever it is, is a stigma. I would like the chance to end stigma in general if I can.”

Despite the difficulties of getting NSTAC noticed, he keeps a level head and doesn’t let that discourage him.

“Kyle is one of the most driven people I have ever met. He gets an idea in his head and he rolls with it, no pun intended,” said Neil Young, also a close friend and systems analyst at treasury board secretariat for Shared Services Canada. “He has taken the best of a bad situation and he always sees the positive in people … he notices the opportunity to educate people.”

Humphrey said he has never really received any special treatment and he’s a normal guy who finds it annoying when people act otherwise.

NSTAC tries to make others aware of the fact that he, along with others who have physical barriers, don’t want or need any special treatment; they want to be regarded like everyone else.

“People see a disabled person as different,” said Young. “Obvious reasons aside, Kyle wants to break down the stereotype. After all, he crowd surfed at the Billy Talent show during Bluesfest a few years ago, in his wheelchair. Not only impressive, but awesome.”

Humphrey would like to turn NSTAC into a charity, but the process can be quite expensive. He said he hopes that if he’s accepted into the child and youth worker program at Algonquin College this fall, he will be able to organize a charity through the school.

“I would like to showcase what people are able to do and have ‘ability’ be a word and have ‘disability’ be gone, because we’re able in different ways,” said Humphrey.

Mother honours son’s life with fundraiser Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

OSU Academy Player Dylan Lawrence headed to St. FX X-Men After playing for the Ottawa South United Force Academy for the past three years, Dylan Lawrence is now ready to move on to the next stage in his life. The Holy Trinity Catholic High School senior recently signed with the St. Francis Xavier X-Men, and will now spend the next four to five years of his life playing Canadian university soccer in Nova Scotia.

St. FX Head Coach Graham Kennedy considers the talented OSU product a coup for the X-Men. “We are absolutely delighted to have a student-athlete like Dylan join our program,” Kennedy says. “I am excited about his potential. We are ‘the little school than can,’ and with recruits like Dylan joining our team, we will succeed.”

It was at the 2012 OSU Showcase Tournament that X-Men associate coach Miroslav Novak saw Lawrence play. Strangely enough, however, it was St. FX’s women’s team coach Trevor Reddick who first noticed Lawrence at a local soccer event six years ago. Impressed by then 12-year-old Lawrence’s soccer tricks, Reddick casually mentioned to the young boy that he should play for St. FX one day.

Lawrence’s soccer skills have gotten him even more attention recently as he is the co-star of two Youtube videos that feature Lawrence and teammate Stephen Veenema performing tricks around various locations in downtown Ottawa. The first video has over 14,000 views, while the second was officially sponsored by Ottawa Tourism.

“We definitely did not expect the outcome we got from the first video,” recounts Lawrence, who helped with editing and production of the videos. “Having CTV and CBC radio contact us about the video, that really motivated us to make another one.”

Lawrence has parlayed his video editing skills into his own company: Tacklebox Productions. They are currently filming promotional videos for Jumpstart Canada, a program dedicated to helping less fortunate children get involved in sports. While he would like to polish his production skills during his time at St. FX, Lawrence knows that his new teammates will be counting on him to produce on the pitch as well.

EMC news - When Zacharie Raizenne was born on Feb. 27, 1990, he didn’t have much to smile about.

He had a severe gastro-esophageal reflux, which forced food into his esophagus and lungs. He caught pneumonia, he was dehydrated and he was in immense pain. It was all his mother Janet Perry could do to hold him while he screamed.

But after a few months he underwent a surgery that kept his food down and reduced his discomfort - and he finally began to smile.

“From then on he smiled for the rest of his life,” his mother said.

Zacharie was diagnosed with Angelman’s Syndrome at nine months, and with it came a host of physical and developmental disabilities. He was virtually non-verbal and had an age two intelligence level, Perry said.

But he knew how to love, and through his wide, carefree smile he gave his love unconditionally to all the people, animals and cherished belongings in his short life.

“He could connect instantly with people, connect with joy,” Perry said. “He didn’t care if someone was maybe a bit rude to you. He didn’t get caught up in those little things. He just loved.”

Zach died suddenly on Oct. 14, 2012 from severe pancreatitis at the age of 22. Almost immediately, the minister at Merivale United Church, Sandy Yule, and Perry’s friend Laurie Stewart knew Zacharie’s February birthday would be difficult for Perry to endure. They began to plan a memorial party for him to fund-

“Every time he saw a Disney character, even being with the princesses he was just happy as can be. It just made his day.”

Photos from the day-long excursion to Florida erase any doubt. In nearly every picture, the life-size Disney characters around Zacharie are outshined by his face-splitting smile.

At the memorial birthday party on Saturday, Feb. 23, visitors raised $1,219 for the Canadian Hunger Foundation - which CIDA will match $3 for every dollar - and another $979 for Dreams Take Flight.

Colley and Dreams Take Flight past president Nicole Banville will hike Machu Picchu mountain in Peru in June to raise money for their charity, in memory of Zacharie. They will bring some of Zacharie’s favourite finger puppet characters for the ride.

“I loved playing for the OSU. They treated me really well and gave me every opportunity I could get to help me get a scholarship and it paid off,” explains the captain of the ’95 Force boys’ team. “Anybody who is planning to play at the university level, they provide you with opportunities like tournaments and showcases that get you the chance to be seen by university coaches.”

While Lawrence is already developing a solid relationship with his new coaches at St. FX, including head coach Graham Kennedy, he says he’ll definitely miss his teammates and mentors from OSU.

raise for his favourite charities.

The obvious first choice was the Canadian Hunger Foundation, which provides food security to some of the poorest areas of the world through donations of farm equipment, animals and seeds to help build sustainable businesses and food sources.

Zacharie loved animals and the garden, and every Christmas Perry would purchase a goat on his behalf through the CHF. With it came a postcard photo of a gift-wrapped goat, which Zacharie adored.

“He would walk around the house with the card, talk to the card, show you the card,” Perry said. “It just made sense to honour Zacharie with donations to the (Canadian Hunger Foundation).”

Later in the planning stages, Yule and Perry decided they also needed to fundraise for Dreams Take Flight Ottawa, an organization that sent Zacharie on the adventure of his lifetime in September 2011.

The organization takes children to Disneyworld who otherwise would not be able to go, either because of financial constraints or a disability.

Zacharie, of course, was a diehard Disney fan. He loved all of the movies and knew all of the characters, Perry said. While there was no way to really prepare him for the trip, Perry said she could tell how much fun he had as soon as he stepped off the plane 20 hours after she sent him flying for the first time.

“Zacharie couldn’t talk to me about it but I could see how excited he was,” she said. Jason Colley, the new Dreams Take Flight president who travelled with Zacharie on the trip, confirmed.

“He was so thrilled,” he said.

“Hopefully, I can help them win a championship because it’s been a few years since they’ve won one,” highlights the playmaking midfielder. “My long-term dream is to play in the MLS, and I hope my route through St. FX will help me reach it.”

“I loved all the coaches at OSU, especially my head coach Mahmut Adulovic,” Lawrence notes. “I have great relationships with them and they’re people that I’m going to stay in contact with throughout my years.”

Smith still working on vocational school jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - For a man who has raised millions for charity, Dave Smith didn’t grow up with very much.

Sitting the Your Family Restaurant on Merivale Road, where Nate’s Deli has moved, the 80-year-old recounted stories of sleeping sideways on the bed to make sure there was enough room for all the kids.

And even though they didn’t have a lot, Smith was always taught the importance of giving.

“A lot of the time in the winter my mother would come home without a coat, and she would just say, ‘someone needed it more than me,’” Smith said.

And while, there is now a street named after him in a development in Riverside South, Smith shows no signs of slowing down.

He said if everything goes as planned, shoves will be in the ground for a new residential drug treatment centre for youth in rural Kanata in the next year.

He is also working on a technical, vocational school for aboriginal youth near Thunder Bay. Smith said young people are the future.

“Small things can really make a difference,” he said. “We can turn their lives around.”

His work with youth was started after a phone call from a Nate’s customer.

“He called and asked me how he could tell if his son’s friend was on drugs,” Smith said. “It didn’t take long to figure out it was his son, and I told him I would get back to him.”

A few days later, Smith was talking at a local school and when he was finished, he asked students to come and join him on the stage if they knew someone who had a problem with drugs.

“The stage filled up pretty fast,” Smith said.

And that was the beginning of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre.

After lobbying the Ministry of Health and

Long-Term Care, and having kids speak on Parliament Hill, where Smith was known for catering events, the day centre opened in 1993.

Now Smith is anxious to begin expansion work on the residential centres in Carp and Carleton Place.

“The day centre was alright, but from the beginning I wanted to have a residential facility,” Smith said. “We would close down at the end of the day and then the kids would be back with their friends and in their neighbourhoods.

It was a challenge.”

OTTAWA NEIGHBOURHOOD SERVICES LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Another of Smith’s pet projects, which also Dave Smith receives a commemorative street sign on his 80th birthday at city hall on celebrated its 80th birthday, made a move to Jan. 23. A street in a new development in Riverside South was to be named after the Nepean this year. The centre, which was on philanthropist.

City Place Drive, has now moved to Rideau Heights Drive near West Hunt Club Road and Prince of Wales Drive.

The organization helps to provide essentials to low-income families. Smith said they offer Dr. Marc Glavin Dr. Catherine Oliarnyk everything from furniture to toiletries at the lowest prices possible.

Dr. Shelley Hutchings Dr. Tara Young “It’s a great service. A lot of families come Dr. Michelle Hansford Dr. Alison Seely to Canada with nothing and this helps them get OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK started,” Smith said.

Mon - Fri 7:30am - 8pm Sat 8am - 3pm Sun 9am - 3pm Smith chairs the organization’s board. He New Patients Welcome! • Chiropractic & Acupuncture Services said it takes hundreds of volunteers to do the 1054 Carp Road, Stittsville 613-831-2965 work to gather donations, make deliveries and w w w. c a r p r o a d a n i m a l h o s p i t a l . c a man the store.

“There are a lot of people out there who want to help,” he said. “Ottawa is a great community.”

While still planning the vocational centre near Thunder Bay and a new treatment centre in the same area for young aboriginal people with addictions issues, Smith is doing work in Afghanistan and here in Ottawa. When asked if he might slow down anytime soon, he shook his head no.

“There’s still a lot of work to be done,” he said.

Child Welfare aWareness Month

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The Canadian Association of Social Workers celebrates National Social Work Week to recognize social workers contribution to society. The theme this year is: “Restoring Hope: The power of Social Work”.

Throughout the month of March, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is taking this one step further and bringing awareness to all workers associated with child welfare.

These individuals play an important role in ensuring children, youth and families of our community are kept safe and secure.

They are involved with the planning and delivery of a variety of services, such as: family support services, advocacy, foster care placement, and child protection, to name a few.

They seldom get the recognition they deserve, in fact, if things go well, we never hear about it.

There are many committed individuals whose efforts have made positive changes in the lives of countless vulnerable children and families.

thank you for your dedication at making a difference!

EMC news - What if you could read See Spot Run to a Dog? Sounding out words with man’s best friend can take some of the pressure of children who are learning to read said Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D) co-ordinator Julie Davies.

The program is part of the larger organization called Ottawa Therapy Dogs – a charity that uses animals to comfort and care for patients struggling with physical or mental challenges.

The R.E.A.D program partners children with dogs and their handler so kids can work on phonics with a furry friend.

Kristen Schoenhals, whose son Nathanael just finished the program at Ruth E Dickinson and is already registered to start at Centennial on March 30, swears by the program.

Nathanael is in French immersion at school and was having trouble learning to read in his native tongue Schoenhals said.

“He really didn’t have any interest learning to read in English,” she said.

“The difference now is amazing.”

Davies said when children are struggling at school they can be terrified of being chosen to read out loud.

“When they read with the dogs the handlers take some of the pressure off,” she said. “Often they will say things like, ‘Spot can’t understand that word either, maybe we will sound it out.’”

There are currently 20 teams of dogs and handlers participating in school and library programs across the city.

The program is so popular that there is currently a waiting list.

Davies said the small, Manotickbased charity only has one full-time staff.

“It’s a challenge, but it’s such a great program,” she said.

Nathanael’s favourite reading friend is a St. Bernard named Brutus, but Davies said the program offers friends as large as Brutus or as small as a daschund.

Davies said there is even a dog that will bark when prompted with a sign that reads “speak.”

Holding the program at local libraries means the children have a variety of books they can choose from.

“This way they learn to read books on a variety of subjects,” Davies said.

More information on the program is available at www.ireadwithdogs.ca.

To register with the program at Centennial Library, call 613-828-5142.

The program is on Saturdays from 2 to 4 p.m. starting March 30 and ending June 22.

Home inspections can prevent break-ins Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Do your windows have proper locks? Could your prize-winning rose bushes be the perfect hiding spot for a burglar?

Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community police officer Const. Arun Daniels wants home owners to answer these questions and more with a home security inspection, which is offered free through the community police centre.

Home security inspections

allow community members to take an active role in making their homes less susceptible to criminal activity, Daniels said. At the request of a home owner, trained volunteers will visit a home - be it a house, condo, apartment or other liv-

ing arrangement - to assess how residents can make their home safer.

The volunteers would assess things like the locks on all doors and windows, outdoor lighting, and problematic landscaping around your home.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like privacy around their homes but that also gives someone looking to break and enter some privacy,â&#x20AC;? Daniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the front of your home clearly that offers opportunity for suspects to hide or work and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have the eyes from people on the street.â&#x20AC;?

The audit is based on a checklist, and participants re-

ceive a booklet that identifies safety improvements, provides crime prevention tips and promotes other crime prevention initiatives offered by the police service, like Neighbourhood Watch.

Members of the public can arrange an inspection by contacting the local Kanata community police centre at 613236-1222, ext 2001.

Stephanie Heroux-Gauthier shows off a new camera acquired by her school, FrancoOuest, in preparation for a new photography program to be taught next fall. Stephanie is pictured with her teacher Alex Leblanc.

French Catholic school brings photo into focus Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Franco Ouest Catholic secondary school in Bells Corners will be shooting for a new photography focus program next fall.

The school already has a media and design program – but teacher and photographer Alex Leblanc has started purchasing the equipment for the three-course program.

So far the labs have been outfitted with studio lights, 15 digital, SLR cameras and 12 different kinds of lenses. A computer lab will be outfitted with the latest in photo-editing software.

Phillipe Lachance, who is currently in Grade 11, said he buses an hour every day to attend the school because of the media program already offered. He said he can’t wait to take the photo courses.

He’s already played with some of the new lenses.

“I really like sports photography,” Lachance said.

The program will be the first of its kind in Ontario for a French Catholic school board, Leblanc said.

The students will be taught about editing, using studio lighting for portraiture and there will be a unit on shooting for news.

The course will have 40 spaces. Half of those spaces are allowed to come from existing students at Franco Ouest. The other half is

reserved for other students in the French Catholic board. If there are any additional spaces, the general public will be able to take the courses.

The courses are at the Grade 11 level.

Students were in the drivers seat during the creation of the course. Leblanc said a survey sent out to students and parents was part of the impetus for the project.

For the last few months, Leblanc has been a bargain hunter, searching high and low for the best prices so students have a range of equipment.

“We have fish-eye and wide-angle lenses,” he said, “as well as lenses that are longer and used for sports.”

Students can sign out equipment to take cameras and other accessories home.

Stephanie Heroux-Gauthier, a Kanata resident who attends the school, said her mother opened her mind to a career in the media or doing photography.

“I think it will be neat to try,” she said.

Finding time to get everything done can be challenging, Aries. Fortunately, you have quite a few supporters in your corner who are willing to lend a helping hand.

Taurus, difficult decisions take time to mull over. Although you want to properly work through all the scenarios, this week you might not have all the time you need.

Gemini, water rolls off of your back quite easily. However, something tugs at you this week and you may have to give it more thought than you’re accustomed to.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

There are some happy moments in your immediate future, Sagittarius. This will make any difficult days in your recent past seem well worth it.

Pisces, things may seem like they are going to go one way this week, but at the last minute things turn in an entirely different direction.
