EMC news - With transitions to ease classroom overcrowding in Kanata’s public elementary schools fast approaching, a group at Katimavik Elementary School is working hard to ensure it’s a smooth changeover for students. The transition team – made up of principal Wendy Jewell, teachers and parents – is hosting a logo contest for all students affected by the changes to help create a sense of unity. “We really wanted to include everybody,” said parent Jen Moore, a member of the transition group. By September 2014, Katimavik Elementary will become a dual-track school for grades 4 to 8 students, Castlefrank Elementary School will offer dual-track for junior kindergarten to Grade 3 students, and Glen Cairn Public School will house grades 7 and 8 classes. The shift in grade structures will affect approximately 800 students. Moore has three children: Annaka, who’s in Grade 2 at Katimavik, Alex, a senior kindergarten student at Castlefrank, and Callia, who’s in preschool at Katimavik. Change is hard, but having the logo contest gives each student a say in how the new school community will be represented.

Students shine at regional science fair Eleven to compete in Canada-wide contest Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - More than 325 students from all over the city took part in the Ottawa Regional Science Fair on Saturday, April 6, at Carleton University. With more than 200 projects representing more than 40 schools, the judges had their work cut out for them. “The quality is pretty impressive,” said committee co-chair Jovan Groen. “We’ve got a great fair this year.” Students in grades 7 to 12 competed in the fields of science and engineering in junior, intermediate, senior, and special awards categories. The 2013 edition marked the 52nd year of the science fair. “They’re excited to share here,”

said Groen. Grade 7 students Emma Jones, 13, and Tanya Nguyen, 12, from Ashbury College in east Ottawa did a project on the cleanliness of their school by examining various surfaces. “We wanted to see if our school was a safe environment,” said Emma. “We found that we didn’t have a lot of dangerous bacteria but we did have mould on our desks,” added Tanya. The solution was to wipe down the desks more often. Grade 11 students Alexa Rious, 17, and Makayla Roper, 16, from All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata, wanted to develop a water filter that could be made from resources found in Third World countries. The result was a multiple-layer filter comprised of cloth, gravel, sand, char-

coal, cat grass and corn husks. “They can easily make good filter and purification systems,” said Alexa, adding the judges were impressed the entry. Manotick’s Nasib Al Karmi, a Grade 7 student at Abraar School in Bayshore, made a vehicle that cleans snow off solar panels. He noticed that his neighbour had to clear the snow off his solar panels with a rake during the winter months. “I found out through my research just an inch of snow can shut down the whole system,” said Nasib. He found glass that could protect the panels so the vehicle wouldn’t damage them. “The glass does not affect the efficiency,” he said, adding the weight of the vehicle would determine what kind of glass would be used. Amar Abdisamed, a Grade 8 student at Ottawa Islamic School in west Ottawa, created a project on how to cure cancer with nanotechnology. The Sandy Hill resident lost his grandfather to brain cancer and his uncle to lung cancer. “I wanted to use my education (to) find a cure,” said Amar. “(Nanotechnology) can help any stage of cancer because it completely destroys the tumour” without affecting the healthy cells surrounding the diseased area.

EMC news – A winner in the Ottawa public library’s awesome authors competition said he wants to write children’s books when he grows up. Nicholas Smith, 12, of Stephen Leacock Public School, is well on his way after placing third in the 12 to 14 year age group for his short story “My Job”, a tale about a lazy boy who is tasked with feeding his neighbor’s cats. After some neglect the cats become shriveled and start to act weird, said Smith, who received a certificate and $20 for his third place finish. The story, which took Smith only several days to finish, was one of nearly 400 works submitted to the contest. Writers ages nine to 17 submitted poems and short stories that were judged by local authors Brenda Chapman, Michel Lavoie and JC Sulzenko. Contestants were judged against other writers in their age group with separate contests for poems and short stories. The contest also had separate sections for English and French writers.

Faith takes soccer pro to West Virginia soccer club Tyler Costello

tyler.costello@metroland.com

EMC sports - Faith has led a former All Saints Catholic High School soccer standout to West Virginia where he will hit the pitch this season for the King’s Warriors, a Christian soccer club. Odaine Demar finished the previous season with Kingston FC after playing a handful of games for Gamla Upsala Sportklubb, a second division professional soccer team in Sweden. He was forced to return to Canada after he was unable to obtain a work visa in Sweden. Upon finishing the season with Kingston, he prepared for a return to Europe, where he had several opportunities including in Sweden, by training with the West Ottawa Soccer Club. But Demar chose to forego his opportunities in Europe and return to North America after receiving an e-mail from the King’s Warriors. “They seemed like my best option because of what they offered me both as a player and spiritually,” said Demar, who had originally contacted the Warriors after feeling he was neglecting his faith while playing professionally in Sweden. “I had a lot of time to think back on my year and I felt my faith was weakening which led to me doing some research on the Warriors,” he said. The King’s Warriors are located in Southern West Virginia and compete in the United Soccer League’s Premier Development League, a league that includes the Ottawa Fury. “There are some very good players in the

league … but I know what I am capable of when I work hard, so if I assert my self immediately I will have a good season” he said. Although Demar will be able to develop his talent with the West Virginian team, it was their religious work that made them appealing, he said. “We try to win all the games that we can, but get out into the community to give the good news of Jesus Christ,” said Tim Donelli, who works media relations for the Warriors. He said about 90 per cent of their players are Christian. The players, who study the Bible and pray together, often speak in churches and help out in the community. The club works in tandem with Countryside Baptist Church in Forest Hill, West Virginia. A big focus is on serving and helping others in the community, said Donelli. “I feel this teaches us that the main focus is not on winning games but giving back, helping others and improving as men of God,” said Demar. “It’s a blessing,” he said, “I was born into the church. I still have very fond memories of going to church every Sunday as a little kid in Jamaica with my grandmother. “Being a pro athlete and staying religious is very challenging but finding a place where I can focus on both makes playing the game even more enjoyable,” he said. Demar said he will continue to work until he is given a chance at playing for Canada’s national team and plans to return to Europe after the completion of this season. FILE

Odaine Demar, a former All Saints Catholic High School student, will be playing this year with the King’s Warriors in West Virginia, a Christian-based soccer club.

Group selling time capsules to pay for rec centre pool lanes tyler.costello@metroland.com

EMC news - Time capsules will be sold to help pay for additional features on the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Morgan’s Grant. The capsules, made of bamboo, will be coming in from Asia in the next few weeks and will be 64 millimetres in diameter and 10 centimetres long, with 1,700 for sale at a cost of $20 each. The capsules will be locked away in a concrete vault under a staircase in the recreation complex on the day of its official opening in November. The vault will be opened in November of 2063. “It’s a fun thing for people to do,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who plans to purchase at least one of the capsules for her grandchildren. In order to avoid anything liquid or volatile being placed in the capsules, those who purchase capsules will have to fill them ahead of time. The time capsule sale is part of an initiative launched by a community steering committee and fundraising sub-committee that have

been established to work with the city to raise $1.7 million, the amount needed to pay for additional features to the complex that were requested by residents. Money raised from the sale of the capsules will help fund two additional lanes to the complex’s 25-meter pool. The city was only willing to pay for the standard six-lane pool but many swim meets require eight lanes, said Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The committee is also seeking to raise money for additions to a skateboard park being built at the complex. The complex, under construction at 4101 Innovation Dr., will also feature a leisure and swirl pool, a fitness centre and a youth room.

EMC news - “I was all set to become an anonymous altruistic donor,” said Bob McRae. “I’d weighed the risks and benefits, did extensive research, underwent testing, discussed it all with my family and joined Canada’s Living Donor Paired Exchange registry.” But life is full of unexpected surprises. The night before McRae’s Gatineau departure for Vancouver (to be part of a domino kidney transplant involving four recipients) a Canada goose flew into him while he was riding his bike. “I remember thinking how relieved I was that I was okay, and could still donate. I laughed about it with the transplant nurse who’d called me to confirm. It would have been tragic if anything had happened.” Instead, looking back, McRae says he has only positive memories of his decision and the outcomes. “I would do it again at the drop of a hat,” he said. “I’ve been canvassing for the Kidney Foundation for years, raising funds to support research and patient programs. Given my own personal health and stability, and the support of family and work, it seemed like the next logical step.” In the past, McRae’s uncle and two cousins suffered from genetic kidney disease, but he, his mother and his five siblings have been spared. He recalls his mother as being an inspiring model of altruism and benevolence. Expenses are also largely covered. An initiative called the Living Organ Donor Expense Reimbursement Program, works to ensure that there are very few out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the donor. This plan is available in one form or another in practically every province across the country. “I would absolutely encourage

Leadership workshop hosted by Free the Children Steve Dool steve.dool@metroland.com

EMC news - Grades 7 and 8 students at Holy Trinity High School in Kanata got the opportunity to raise money for a good cause last week by participating in a Quarter Carnival. The carnival took place to collect funds for the OK Clean Water Project, which raises money to fund clean drinking water initiatives in Cameroon. “Over the past 10 years we have provided 34 villages with clean drinking water,” said OK Clean Water project president Carmel Horan. “Over the years we have worked with a number of different schools and 28 schools are participating this year from the Ottawa Catholic School Board,” said Horan. Last year, area schools raised $31,000 of the total $81,000 raised for the OK Clean Water Project, said Horan. The fundraiser was a student planned event and featured different stations where participating students could play games for a quarter to win tickets. At the end of the carnival students visited a prize table where they cashed their tickets in for prizes. The fundraiser came about after a group representing Free the Children gave a presentation to the school’s grades 7 and 8 students. During the presentation the students learned about how important having clean drinking water is and the impact that clean water initiatives have made in Third World countries. Twenty students were selected by their home room teachers and singled out as good leaders to take part in an all leadership workshop put on by Free the Children. The workshop taught them fundraising skills and how it is important to raise funds by doing something that you enjoy, which is how the idea for a Quarter Carnival came about. Stations varied from timed cup stacking,

EMC news - The state of Bridlewood parks will top the agenda at the next meeting of the Bridlewood Community Association at Eva James Memorial Community Centre on April 16 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. City parks and recreation staff will be on hand to discuss the features of Bridlewood parks and any possible future changes or upgrades. Following the meeting, the association will hand out a new park and recreation survey to help the association learn what programs and facilities residents want in their community. In a 2012 survey, the association asked residents to assess local parks and play spaces as well as to provide feedback on their favourite activities. To further our information collection efforts, the association has integrated feedback from the initial survey into this current survey with the hopes of identifying some

short, medium and long-term ideas for parks and play space needs in Bridlewood. The intent of the survey was to generate information and ideas that would allow the association to work with the city to plan and improve future recreational opportunities in our community. Other items on the meeting’s agenda include Coun. Allan Hubley’s report, committee updates and a chance to learn more about the association’s corporate sponsors.

EMC news - Ottawa’s professional basketball team has a new name. After receiving complaints the original choice, the TomaHawks, was culturally insensitive, the club retracted the name and went back to the drawing board. Team staff announced last week the new franchise will be named the Ottawa SkyHawks, and will keep the hawks logo used in the original branding. “We wanted to instill a very important value, respect,” said Bytown Sports and Entertainment president Gus Takkale, who is from Orléans. “It’s with that value that we want to move forward.” On hand for the announcement two Aboriginal chiefs, Chief Kirby Whiteduck of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan and Chief Gilbert Whiteduck of the Kitigan Zibi. “We believe they really heard the message of the people,” said Chief Gilbert Whiteduck. After the announcement, Chief Kirby Whiteduck said he supported the new moniker, but

wasn’t opposed to the original TomaHawks name. The SkyHawks brand still has to go through the trademarking process, which can take six to eight months. Takkale said the name change is good because it has a similar look and feel, and the team can still use the hawk element. The organization reached out to fans on social media to see what they supported before announcing the new team name. Now that the team has a name, they can move forward to hire a head coach by the start of the summer, and then move into recruiting players. Takkale said that the team will look to local talent first, and try and attract other National Capital players in the United States to play. “We want to see how we can get these players to come back home,” he said. The final roster will be announced in October, with the National Basketball League games starting on November 2013. There are three other Ontario teams in the NBL, the Oshawa Power, Windsor Express and London Lightning. Complete Family Eye Care

Asking a lot of children

tudents at a school in Barrhaven will launch a hiring guide for local businesses this week. The Grade 4 students put a lot of work into their product, meeting with more than 30 local business managers to find out what hiring tools they currently use. The kids have since compiled a hiring guide, which will soon be for sale, with proceeds to Big Brothers, Big Sisters. The goal was to develop something that would help people in the community and the hiring guide could help connect job-seekers with prospective employers. The project was developed with help from the Learning Partnership, a national non-profit organization that promotes the public education system in Canada. The organization is participating in similar projects at 240 schools. By working on the guide, students got a taste of teamwork and the value of all the steps in the business process, say organizers. Encouraging entrepreneurial spirit in youngsters is a good idea, but it’s also reasonable to ask if maybe we’re expecting our kids to grow up a little

too soon. There will be time to learn marketing and project management in high school or at college or university, all before those skills can ever be honed in the real world. Grade 4 is too early for students to choose a future educational goal or career. It’s not clear what skills a nine or 10-year-old might develop today that will be of value when they enter the workforce. Sampling many careers might be a better use of the kids’ time than carrying out one intensive project. Parents of any kids involved in the Learning Partnership programs should share their thoughts with teachers, principals and school board trustees. It would be interesting to know if the parents think their kids’ time was well spent, especially if there was follow-up years later to see if a Grade 4 student went on to bigger things and was inspired or prepared in part by the Learning Partnership program. Without that information over the long term, it’s impossible to say if learning business skills at a young age is the right course or if kids should just be kids for a little longer.

Fixing Queen Street, and other Ottawa fantasies

n Ottawa, even the good news is somewhat mysterious. Take, for example, the word that the city is looking for submissions from engineering consultants on ways to improve Queen Street, so that it will be nice to walk along in a few years when light rail is running underneath it. The mysterious part: how could anyone think that Queen Street can be improved in any way other than blowing it up and starting over again? The Citizen article on the Queen Street study contained the usual allusions to planting more trees and widening sidewalks and adding benches, but hey. There’s no retail on Queen Street, hardly a restaurant and lots of ugly glass buildings. You think wider sidewalks is going to help much? Two years ago, on a Saturday afternoon in April, Tyler Brûlé, the former Ottawan turned London magazine tycoon, was wandering around downtown. Here’s his description, in the Financial Times, of what he saw: “The street was littered with soggy bits of rubbish; some shops were out of business; almost every office tower had a lease sign in the lobby window and it was eerily deserted. I walked a few blocks hoping the urban landscape would improve but the few retail

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town outlets that were open felt tatty and tired, the streets were buckling and full of potholes and every other block was punctuated by a vacant property, an empty parking lot and restaurant closed for business, permanently.” Not a bad description and it obviously made an impression, because Brûlé was invited back to Ottawa, where he spent two years in the ‘80s going to Nepean High School, to give a public talk as part of an ideas project to improve the city. For reasons understandable to those who deal with famous people, the deal fell through and the organizers are now looking for another expert. “The vision of bringing someone to give us some advice is still on the table,” Coun. Mathieu Fleury told the Citizen. “We want to bring someone with that kind of Published weekly by:

profile.” As the old saying goes, an expert is someone from out of town. Too many cities get their reputation from the guy who spends two days there and writes an analysis based on the airport, the personality of the taxi driver who brings him from the airport, the hotel, two restaurants near the hotel, the street the hotel is on and the taxi driver who takes him back to the airport. A guy who walked around the Glebe or the Market, rather than Queen Street, would have a different assessment of Ottawa. A guy who stayed in Ottawa South or Kanata would think differently from a guy who stayed at the Westin. Which is not to say that Queen Street is not awful. It is. It’s just that we don’t need to pay someone to tell us that. Many of the problems that plague our city are obvious to anyone who lives here and don’t require expert advice. If you want a vibrant Queen Street, put some stores on it. For those stores to thrive they need customers, people who live downtown. That means apartment buildings instead of office buildings. People have known this for decades, people who are not from out of town.

Persuading business and government to do anything about it is, and always has been, the problem. It costs money. As time passes without anything being done people learn to live without downtown. They have their neighbourhood stores and restaurants, if they are lucky enough to have that kind of neighbourhood. If not, they have the nearest mall, where there are stores and the parking is free and easy to find. If Queen Street is awful, it ceases to matter to a lot of folks. And that makes it harder to find the will to fix it. Maybe this time will be different.

If you have been eating Quiznos brownies every day at and you stop, you may lose a pound. Sounds easy, right? Not exactly. The thing is you have to maintain your calorie deficit over time, which means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a matter of what you eat, but also what you do. Saying that, I definitely think the first few pounds can be shed by eliminating a couple of staple foods from my diet: coffee and wine. I realized I can cut about 600 calories, on average, per day, just by giving up the tall boys I drink each morning for creative inspiration. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like black coffee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more of a double-double kind of gal. I worked it out that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking in about 500 calories per day between the sugar and cream in my coffee. Easy fix. The second one is a little harder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wine. I have spent this long winter pretending to be an amateur connoisseur of red wine. Unfortunately, alcohol has effect of slowing your metabolism until it clears your system. How sad is that? And there are

Walking to lose weight Continued from page 9

At the end of the day, losing weight will come down to the amount of exercise I can squeeze in between my hours of writing. Despite all my blather earlier this year, I’ve decided to forgo trendy exercises and take up walking. It sounds crazy, right? How many pounds can you shed by putting one foot in front of the other? But I’ve had a lot of success with walking in the past. For one, it’s totally manageable. The biggest hurdle, really, is getting my shoes on and getting out without making excuses. When I do get out, I tend to walk really fast – almost at a jogging

pace. It’s not as efﬁcient as running, so you have to do more of it. But 60 minutes of brisk walking per day should help me burn about 200 calories. Strap a 20-pound baby to my front and maybe I’ll get an extra 35 calories out of the deal. Doing the math, the dietary changes plus the exercise equates to subtracting about 5,900 calories per week. I could lose 50 pounds per year! Not too shabby, huh? Of course, once the wine and coffee are out of my system, I may have to consider giving up bread and butter ... and maybe cheese, or taking up Zumba. But that’s a topic for another column.

Stop investment scams in their tracks EMC news - Here are four signs that an investment might be a scam: • You can make a lot of money with no risk. Investments that are considered low risk typically have returns close to current Guaranteed Investment Certiﬁcate (GIC) rates. If your expected return is higher than this, you’re taking more risk with your money.

• It’s a hot tip or insider information. If the hot tip is false, you will lose your money if you act on it. If the inside information about a public company is true, acting on it would be illegal. Ask yourself why someone would share this information with you, and how they might stand to beneﬁt. • You’re pressured to buy

right away. Scammers know that if you take time to check out the details, you probably won’t fall for their scheme. • The individual or the company are not registered to sell investments. Anyone selling securities or offering investment advice must be registered with their provincial securities regulator, unless they have an exemption. In Ontario, you can check their registration – and whether they’ve been in trouble with a securities regulator – with the Ontario Securities Commission. newscanada.com R0012019325

Students at Katimavik Elementary School get off the bus for morning class. A transition team is inviting students at Katimavik, Glen Cairn Public and Castlefrank Elementary schools to design a new logo to help create a sense of unity. Structural changes to ease classroom overcrowding will see many students relocated.

Contest open to all grades Continued from page 1

“We really need to make the best of it and pull together,” Moore said. “The key is now doing everything we can to make them comfortable.” Students affected by the change are invited to submit proposals for the new school logo by April 15. The contest is open to all grades and can be entered individually, as a group or a class. Many teachers have even included logo designing in their

curriculums, said Moore. The new emblem for Katimavik, which means “meeting place” in Inuktitut, will represent a union of the school communities. “They really feel like they’re contributing and participating,” she said. “It gives them some input on their future.” Students in each school will vote on their three favourite designs, narrowing the logos down to 12, then a group of students and parents from each school, teachers and commu-

nity members will cast the ﬁnal vote. “The kids have the most say in the winner,” said Moore. “They’re excited by it.” The winner will be announced, and awards and prizes donated by a number of local sponsors handed out, at a get together on May 10 at Katimavik Elementary, where students who will be attending the school can meet each other. “It’s all about a fresh start,” said Moore.

NAC unveils giant tapestry donated by Bill Teron Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - A tapestry commissioned by philanthropists’ Bill and Jean Teron has finally seen the light of day after spending the last 15 years hidden away in the archives of the National Arts Centre. The tapestry, created by Inuit artist Jessie Oonark, was officially unveiled in the main lobby of the arts centre – where it will hang for the next quarter century – during a ceremony held on April 3. “I’m delighted with it there,” said Teron. “It’s just magnificent. I’m a very proud owner of that – I’m very pleased it’s in its proper home. The unveiling comes just in time for the upcoming Northern Scene festival, a multi-disciplinary arts event featuring the work of 250 established and emerging artists from the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunatsiavut and Nunavik. The festival, which will display a variety of dance, visual and media art and will include film, music, theatre, food and fashion events, is

taking place at 22 venues across Ottawa from April 25 to May 4. “It’s a great opportunity to put it back up,” said Carl Martin, spokesman for the arts centre. “And it’s going to stay up this time.” Martin said the tapestry hanging was also a way to honour Teron, a key member of the National Capital Arts Alliance, which spearheaded the NAC’s creation in the 1960s. Oonark’s tapestry is made of thick felt with images of symbolic figures and legends of the North embroidered on a turquoise background. Oonark, who died in 1985, described her prints and drawings as her dreams. “It’s a dream world, but a dream world of a native person,” said Teron. “It’s very exotic. Myths and symbolism.” Originally, the tapestry was commissioned in the early 1970s by Teron to hang in the lobby or banquet room of the Carleton Towers in downtown Ottawa, later known as the Four Seasons Hotel. But when the tapestry arrived, it was quickly evident

Bill and Jean Teron enjoy watching the unveiling of a tapestry they commissioned in the early 1970s during a ceremony at the National Arts Centre on April 3. the artwork, which measured 3.7 metres by six metres, was too large for the hotel, said Teron, who kept the artwork folded up in his living room R0012020876

until he could figure out what to do with it. One day, Hamilton Southam, then the director general of the National Arts Centre, was visiting his home and noticed the folded tapestry. “What’s that?” he asked. Teron, who was a member of the NAC board of trustees, unfolded part of the tapestry, showing Southam the surreal felt design.

“Oh my God. Why didn’t you tell me?” asked Southam. “This is wonderful.” The tapestry was unveilled for the first time in the grand staircase of the arts centre in May, 1973, during a ceremony attended by the Terons, the artist and Jean Chrétien, then minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, where it would remain on display for 25 years, before it

was taken down in 1998 and tucked away in the archives. “We were just about to offer it to other galleries when the National Art Gallery came to me and wanted to retain it for the next 25 years by hanging it up in the original location,” said Teron.

Kanata man to cycle across continent for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - A 20-kilometre bike ride is a walk in the park for Fred McGuire. The 62-year-old Kanata Lakes Man regularly eats up 80 to 120 kilometres of asphalt a day on his specialized Tarmac full-carbon frame road bike. For a real challenge, McGuire decided to enter the Across America North tour, a 5,900 kilometre coast-to-coast trek across the United States and parts of Canada from Astoria, Ore., to Portsmouth, N.H. from June 16 to Aug. 5. On average, participants will cycle 140 kilometres a day on a route that passes through the northern states, across the Rocky Mountains, and landmarks such as Mount Rushmore and continues across southern Ontario, over the Appalachian Mountains to New Hampshire. They start their tour by dipping their front wheels in the Pacific Ocean and end it by dipping their rear wheels in the Atlantic Ocean. McGuire decided to combine his cross-America adventure with

a fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a really close friend who contracted Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five years ago,â&#x20AC;? said McGuire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just seeing what the disease has done to him and his wife as well, I just thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d dedicate the ride to him and his wife.â&#x20AC;? McGuireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend, Nick Rapagna, a Kanata resident, was a lieutentantcolonel in the Canadian Air Force and an airline captain with Air Transat, flying Boeing 747s, when he was diagnosed with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five years ago. McGuire said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping to raise more than $10,000 by collecting pledges online at the Michael J. Fox Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website from friends and family and well-wishers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause,â&#x20AC;? said McGuire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no cure for this terrible disease. We need to find one.â&#x20AC;? AVID CYCLIST

McGuire, a retired financial planner, has been an avid cyclist for the

past five years. Last year, he cycled more than 15,000 kilometres on back roads in the Ottawa and Gatineau area, as well as Tucson, Ariz., where he stays for two-and-a-half-months every fall; he is a member of the Cactus Cycling Club in Tucson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to be a runner, but my Achilles (tendon) said I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run anymore, so I started cycling.â&#x20AC;? During the winter, McGuire cycles indoors on a stationary bike at a Kanata fitness club, where he is enrolled in RPM cycling classes and curls recreationally at the Almonte Curling Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to stay fit most my life,â&#x20AC;? he said. McGuire, who has cycled as many as 210 kilometres in one day, prefers to use the back roads throughout Ottawa, avoiding the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiuse trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going at speed itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually safer to be on a road than a bike path, so I just stay on the roads,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a recreational cyclist going 15 to 20 kilometres per hour than the bike paths are fine, but I go a lot faster.â&#x20AC;? McGuire said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more comfort-

Fred McGuire, a 62-year-old Kanata Lakes man, looks forward to the Across America North bike tour, to be held June 16 to Aug. 5, and is using the coast-to-coast trek as a fundraiser for the Michael J.

He feeds his need for speed by using a 20-gear, full-carbon frame Tarmac road bike, with aerodynamic tires and a Shimano Ultigra drive train. When he starts the Across America tour, McGuire will be outfitted in the standard biking gear: helmet, water-wicking shirt and shorts and shoe clips, as well as water bottles, a spare tire tube and an air pump. McGuire said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for-

ward to his cross-continent tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like the adventure and the scenery,â&#x20AC;? he said, commenting on his reason for joining the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to that part of the United States before.â&#x20AC;? Anyone who would like to contribute to McGuireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser should visit the website www2. michaeljfox.org/site/TR/TeamFox/ TeamFox. Canadians who contribute to the fundraiser will be issued a tax receipt with the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax number.

OPWHL about joy and fun in hockey: player Celebrity team wins second annual fundraising game 6-5 in shootout Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - It was a white-knuckle finish during the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League’s annual fundraising game against a team comprised of local celebrities on April 6. With only 46 seconds left to go in the final period, Moses Olong with the OPWHL Sharks tied the game with the Celebrities 5-5, while earning himself a hat trick. But the Celebrities took the game in a shootout, winning 6-5, thanks to Todd Nicholson, a three-time medal winning Canadian Paralympic Sledge hockey player. “We’re looking to have a lot of fun and give the crowd a good game,” said OPWHL coach Andrew Paterson, a resident of Nepean. “I think they all played really well. It was a good challenge.”PWHL play-

ers are split into two sectors: the competitive tournament team, the Ottawa Capitals, and two recreational teams, the Gators and Sharks. All three teams played one period during the celebrity game. Nine-year-old Isabella Sicoli has only been playing for four months but the Bells Corners resident said she’s hooked on the sport. “I like the fun,” she said. “I like that it’s all about fun; it’s not about winning, it’s about all the joy and fun you can have in hockey.” Sicoli plays forward for the Gators, after being traded from the Sharks last week. “First I was nervous because I wasn’t that good at being a forward,” said Sicoli. “But then I started to believe and now I’m like a pro.” It was 19-year-old Chris Pavone’s third game. The Algonquin College marketing student, who lives in Bar-

rhaven, said he’d played baseball before but never hockey. After learning about the OPWHL from friends, he gave it a shot. “It’s just something fun, it’s something new,” said Pavone, who plays for the Sharks. Dino Giannetti, a resident of Katimavik, and Hollis Peirce, from the downtown Bank Street area, helped create the Ottawa league, which has grown to 25 players in four years. Peirce got the idea to create the OPWHL after moving from Calgary, where he played hockey in a wheelchair league since he was 11 years old. “We finally got enough momentum going,” said the now 25-year-old Peirce about getting the league on the court. “It allows any type of ability to play against each other. It really evens the playing field.” Peirce plays defence for the Ottawa Capitals and the Sharks. The league is open to people of all ages and abilities, with players as young as eight and older than 60. “That’s the great thing about R0012019658

The Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League took on a group of local celebrities for its second annual fundraising game on April 6. The Celebrities eked out a 6-5 win in a shootout. wheelchair hockey; it doesn’t matter your age. Anyone can play,” said Peirce, adding it’s a social event as much as a hockey game. “It’s great, the success we’ve had,” added Giannetti, 25, who plays goalie and defence for the Sharks and Ottawa Capitals. Aside from Olong, Roddey Hard scored two goals for the OPWHL. Celebrities Tyson Hinz and Justin Shaver, both Carleton Ravens basketball players, morning show host Jeff Hopper, Ottawa 67’s goalie Jacob

Blair and Nicholson, scored for their team. The celebrities took to the court in manual wheelchairs, so controlling the ball and the chair at the same time was difficult, said Shaver, who is studying psychology and social work at Carleton. Many of the celebrity players used their feet to propel the wheelchairs so they could maneuver the chair and hockey stick at the same time. “It’s a workout,” said Hinz, a commerce student at the university. “Hopefully we’ll be asked back (next year).”

The game was held in the Norm Fenn Gym on the Carleton University campus – where the OPWHL hosts training every Sunday – as a fundraiser for the upcoming Canadian Power Hockey Championships this August in London, Ont. It costs around $11,000 for the travelling team to participate, said Peirce. The OPWHL was established in 2009 for players who use wheelchairs and have limited upper body strength or mobility.

Kanata Theatre announces 2013-14 season Sylvia Ralphs-Thibodeau Kanata Theatre

EMC entertainment - Why drive downtown for high priced entertainment when excellent, award-winning productions are available right here in Kanata? Kanata’s Ron Maslin Playhouse, home to the Kanata Theatre, is now launching its 45th-season of plays for 2013-14. Season tickets are on sale and represent very affordable entertainment. Each season, Kanata Theatre selects its repertoire of plays to ensure that audiences are thrilled, tickled, frightened and persuaded to consider hot ideas. The upcoming season of five plays offers a variety of themes including mystery, comedy, drama and musical theatre. The lineup for the upcoming season includes: • John Buchan’s: The 39 Steps, a comedic adaptation by Patrick Barlow, running Sept. 17 to 28, 2013, is a fast paced gripping comedy with a plot involving murder, intrigue, secret agents and a beautiful seductress. • John Pielmeier’s drama, Agnes of God, running Nov.5 to 16, 2013, may keep your hankies busy as a young novice nun pleads miracle to a skeptical world. • Robin Hawdon’s comedy Perfect Wedding, running Feb. 4 to 15, 2014,

confirms that no wedding is without its potential catastrophe especially when the groom’s memory falters after a rather debauched bachelor party. • Peter Colley’s mystery/comedy, Murder in Noirville, running March 25 to April 5, 2014, is a homage to Hollywood’s classic ﬁlm noir murder mystery with dark shadows, plot twists, a femme fatale and the added pleasure of plenty of good laughs. • Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s drama, Inherit the Wind, May 13 to 24, 2014, presents a more sober look at the arguments surrounding evolution vs. creationism through a courtroom drama that is as relevant today as when it was first produced in the 50’s. • Yo Viking, a family musical production by Marcus Stevens with music by Sam Willmott, Dec. 28-30, 2013, is a heart-warming tale about a young person`s quest for Viking adventure and features sweeping melodies, thrilling Viking chants and funky rock ’n’ roll. General tickets are $20 per performance with five play subscription for $75. Holiday family performance tickets are $10 or $5 for subscription ticket holders (purchased with full subscription). To obtain subscription and individual tickets call the box office at 613-831-4435 or email boxoffice@

Museum of Nature heads to Arctic for latest exhibit Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A vast portion of our country’s landmass lies far removed from the gaze of most Canadians, which is why the Museum of Nature wants to shed light on it. The Canadian Museum of Nature launched its latest exhibit – Extraordinary Arctic – on April 3, allowing visitors to explore the landscape, wildlife, culture and history of the Canadian Arctic. The exhibit coincides with the 100th anniversary of the start of the Canadian Arctic Exhibition of 1913, a five-year voyage by government scientists that mapped and catalogued the geography, wildlife and culture of the region. Calling the expedition “an important milestone in Canadian science and exploration,” museum president and CEO Meg Beckel said about 60 per cent of the museum’s research and collections programs have an Arctic focus, often with national and international partners. “These collaborations provide

insights and discoveries about the indigenous plants and animals from these vast parts of Canada,” she said. Beckel said that last year the museum launched a five-year plan to “inspire and engage audiences” in Canada and overseas. The end of this initiative will coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, when a permanent gallery devoted to the Arctic will be opened. FILM PREMIERE

The series of events and activities planned for the month include the Ottawa premiere of the 2011 National Film Board production Vanishing Point on April 11, a tale of two Inuit communities in Canada and Greenland. Weekend activities will serve to engage children and their parents. Among them, an interactive igloobuilding activity will allow kids to experience the precision needed to build the traditional Inuit structure, using pre-formed foam blocks. Kids can also learn some of the Inuktitut language, learn traditional throat singing, drumming and dancing, as well as play games. For the duration of the exhibit, visitors can look at the artifacts and samples returned to Ottawa from the 1913-18 expedition. David Gray, a researcher, filmmaker and historian who serves on a Parks Canada committee for Northern national parks, was on hand for the launch and will present information and artifacts during an April 27 appearance. Gray is set to embark on a monthlong expedition to Banks Island – located on the southwestern edge of the Arctic archipelago – starting in July. Accompanying him will be five other team members, plus local guides. “We have a ship’s captain, a (crewmember) who’s also a descendent of one of the men who died on the (1913) expedition, so he’s going to look for his great-great uncle’s remains,” said Gray. “Another woman is also a descendent of an expedition member; her and two cousins are going. They’re looking for the family

The first point – Sachs Harbour – is named after the ship Mary Sachs,

which was beached on the remote coast during the expedition. Gray’s first visit to the north, in 1968, was to study the rebounding population of muskox on Banks Island. He has been back to the North,

This year’s Far West Fun Fest bigger and better EMC news - Kanata Seniors Council president Kay Dubie admits she was surprised at the close of last year’s Fun Fest when many people asked her if it would be held in 2013. All doubts can now be put to rest. Far West Fun Fest 2013, which was launched by the seniors’ council in 2011 is set for a May 2 launch with an opening breakfast featuring Ken “the General” Grant as guest speaker. Running until May 16, this year’s program is more varied and ambitious than ever before. Old favourites return by popular request. Fish and chips at the Kanata Legion, darts, cribbage and euchre tournaments, a photo rally, a karaoke afternoon and, of course, a class on flower arranging that proved to be a real hit last year, said Dubie. Added to the “regulars” are a tulip trip which includes a

visit to Ottawa’s first Zoomer show (a lifestyle exhibition aimed at the over 45s), pickleball, card making and an old fashioned Spelling Bee. Throw in a casino afternoon, bingo, nine-hole golf, lawn bowling, a Carnival Day, a Zumba gold session, and a movie and brunch event and there’s “something for everyone,” says Dubie. The program of events which includes a registration form is available either at the Kanata Seniors Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr., or at any of the participating seniors’ residences. The basic registration fee is, as in the past, a modest $20 although there are additional small charges associated with some events. For those paying by cheque Treasure Liz Tucker advises that “they should be made out to the Kanata Seniors Council.” Registration closes on April 26, which isn’t so far away. “I really urge people to reg-

ister as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment,” said Dubie. “Some events may be limited as to numbers. Last year, for example, we were swamped with aspiring flower arrangers. “So far as entertainment goes, I think this is the best bargain in Ottawa. It’s fun, you get to meet new people, get a chance to try new activities, revisit old favourites and enjoy the accompanying snacks and meals. “This year I think we’ve got one of our best activity mixes yet. There’s lots of choice and I, for one, was amazed last year at how many participated in so many of the events.” For more information, contact Liz Tucker at 613-5925585 or check out the Kanata Seniors’ website at www. kanataseniors.ca where you can find details not only of this year’s Fun Fest but also the wide range of other activities available at the centre.

The Kanata Seniors Council is looking forward to hosting the Far West Fun Fest in May.

Horse racing future uncertain at Rideau Carleton Provincial government working on a plan to modernize industry

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

Patricia Leboeuf

pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - The future of horse racing at the Rideau Carleton Raceway is left in limbo after the Slots-AtRacetracks program was cancelled. The program officially ended on March 31, letting a torrent of fear and uncertainty ripple through the local industry. It is a tragedy for the people that depend on the program, said National Capital Region Harness Horse Association (NCRHHA) president John MacMillan. “Horse people have essentially been left out in the cold,” he said. The Rideau Carleton Raceway has already cut its programming from three race days a week to two, he added. Since its inception in 1998, the Slots-At-Racetracks program has been helping sustain the industry by providing about $3.7 billion in slot revenue. The deal allowed horse people to directly take home 10 per cent of the money, said veteran harness racer and veterinarian Roly Armitage. “Due to the fact that they brought the horsemen into it, everybody brought better horses into it, put more money into it and everything else, including myself,” said the former mayor of the West Carleton township. There are several horse ranches and horse-related businesses in West Carleton. After Finance Minister Dwight Duncan announced the province’s de-

cision to cut funding last year, several horse people have found themselves in a dilemma. Many of them have stopped breeding their mares and several are getting out of the business altogether. “It’s not possible to sustain yourself in this industry as a horse trainer under the current model no matter how successful you are,” said MacMillan. Despite cutting the program, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the Ontario government are working to find a solution that will help foster high quality racing, according to OLG spokesman Rui Brum. He said it is committed to creating a sustainable racing industry that is fair to all stakeholders. To accomplish this, the Transition of Ontario Horse Racing Industry panel was created. It looks at opportunities to help modernization and maintain sustainability within the industry. “The government brought in this panel to look at ways to help ensure there is a future in the horse racing industry,” said Brum. The panel has created a report with recommendations that will help the industry transition into a sustainable model. MacMillan, however, said that his association has never been approached to discuss such changes.

He is currently collecting data from concerned citizens on the Casino Choice Ottawa Facebook page. He plans to bring the results to Mayor Jim Watson and the rest of council. “We have to be concerned as horse people about the racetrack being operational and afloat or else we have no place to race in addition to worrying about how much purse money we are going to race for,” said MacMillan. The OLG will continue to have a lease agreement in place with the Rideau Carleton Raceway. It will now follow a model that more resembles the renter-landlord agreement, said Brum.

The municipality will continue to get funds from OLG, assured Brum. JOB LOSSES IMMINENT

ernment and approached their MPPs. As such, the Ontario government has tentatively made strides towards creating a sustainable funding model with Western Fair, Clinton, Woodbine, Mohawk, Hanover and Grand River race tracks. The Rideau Carleton Raceway is not currently part of this, but is discussing alternative possibilities with the OLG, said MacMillan. “Given that the slots are still at the raceway, Rideau Carleton is trying to negotiate a deal to keep them there,” he said. “Something similar to the program, tweak it, make adjustments to it. “We are fine with that,” he added. “We are fine if they want to introduce new forms of gambling and give us a percentage of that. We need some sort of profit sharing from the slot machines.”

West Carleton Review The horse racing industry employs about 60,000 people in Ontario. Out of that 40,000 are employed full-time while 20,000 are part-time workers. Many of them are at risk of losing their jobs with this decision. “They (the government) are always talking about making jobs, but why take away jobs,” said Armitage. It may also create a ripple effect through congruent industries. “It’s not just the horses. We all use trailers, we buy trucks, we buy harnesses, we buy hay,” he added. “It’s an industry.” Despite the apprehension, horse people have rallied to fight the decision.

City plans to write off $1 million in unpaid levies Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city plans to write off $1 million of the $10 million it is owed from property owners who had agreed to pay tax levies for local infrastructure improvements. Most of the outstanding charges – 70 per cent – are related to local projects like the Manotick sanitary sewer extensions and an extension to Legget Drive that were constructed over the last four years. The city can allow property owners to pay for a portion of work that wouldn’t be warranted under city policies, such as extending a water main farther down a street than planned in order to provide service to additional properties. Some of that money likely can’t be recovered because of a loophole: if the property changed hands and the local improvement fee wasn’t registered on the properties’ title, the city is pretty much out of luck. The city could take those new owners to court, said Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark, who sits on the finance and economic development committee, but lawyers advised that the city likely wouldn’t be successful. With that in mind, the finance committee agreed that outstanding local improvement charges should be dismissed if the owner bought the property after the infrastructure construction and if the tax certificate did not list the pending charges. Those

property owners will also have to sign an affidavit saying they were not aware of the pending charges when they bought the property. That would apply to 73 property owners who should be on the hook to pay the city a total of $1.1 million. Council was set to vote for final approval on the matter on April 10. The city has taken steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Property tax certificates will be required to have a note listing the local improvement charge. A committee of revision hearing, which is required in case property owners want to appeal the amount they were charged for their portion of the work, must happen within a year of the end of the project’s warranty period. Those measures have been in place since 2010. There are a few reasons why the fees haven’t been collected. Some are administrative and relate to legislative delays and research necessary for launching the committee of revision, while other delays are caused by the length of the construction projects and the staff time required to “triage” the new projects. The committee’s approval was also needed to allow the city to accept a payment for a water main project on Navan Road that was completed before council passed a bylaw enabling it to impose local improvement charges. The total $17,708 in fees for that project have been paid in full.

Event celebrates the coming of the first official Autism Awareness Day Tyler Costello

tyler.costello@metroland.com

EMC news - Members of the Ottawa community came together on the steps of Parliament Hill on March 27 in advance of the first official World Autism Awareness Day. In front of those speaking at the event was “The Faces of Autism” banner, which featured 88 faces of individuals from across Canada who suffer from autism. The words one in 88 were written at the bottom of the banner, referring to the number of children diagnosed with autism. “That’s a statistic that should really get our attention,” said Suzanne Jacobson, founder of QuickStart, a charity that offers free services to parents who have children with autism. “The number of people being diagnosed with autism is growing tremendously.” Jaden Lake, 17, is one of those children diagnosed with autism. His father, Edmonton-Mill WoodsBeaumont MP Mike Lake, brought Jaden up with him to microphone as he spoke to the crowd of about 100. Lake spoke about how his son studies in a Grade 11 class, volunteers at an Edmonton library and participates in musical theatre. “One of the real blessings of my time here is really how colleagues from all parties have come together in support of Jaden,” said Lake. “Politicians from all parties care about this issue and come together around this issue.” Bill S-206 or the World Autism Awareness Day Act, introduced by Liberal Senator Jim Munson and unanimously passed by all parties,

Wilson brought his son to Emerging Minds, a private treatment centre for children, to be checked for autism after growing impatient with the waitlist at CHEO. Having a similar experience with her grandson is what led Jacobson to found QuickStart. “We have come to recognize that

the current system isn’t necessarily the best system and that we need to work together to be able to serve more kids and be able to reach more people,” said Alex Munter, CEO of CHEO, as he spoke to those gathered. Munter, who has been with CHEO for 18 months, praised the provincial and federal government for funding autism research. “Officially we start moving forward,” said Jacobson, referring to World Autism Awareness Day being recognized by Canadian law, “I believe momentum will increase.”

EMC sports - With the return of Carleton Ravens Football this fall, the university is introducing a junior football coaching program to provide Ottawa youth with an opportunity to receive coaching and guidance from some of the best athletes and coaches in the country. The Junior Ravens Football program targets children ages eight to14. “Junior Ravens Football provides a memorable and character-building experience,” stated a release from Carleton University. “One of the greatest benefits for your child will be the opportunity to develop their football skills on and off the field.” The reborn football program is made possible primarily by the financial support of Carleton graduates, led by a donation of more than $2.5 million from Ottawa entrepreneur John Ruddy. A total of $5 million has been raised and these founding pledges will be supplemented by operating revenues from sponsorship proceeds, gate receipts and ongoing fundraising activities to ensure the program flourishes. The junior’s program is an eightweek course that will introduce children to the fundamentals that are essential to their success in the game of football and in life. “through a gradual implementation of technical and tactical skills, your child will constantly be assessed and educated in the technical competencies involved in playing football.” “Junior Ravens Football will not only teach how to play the game of football, but how to play the game safely.” Cost of registration is $275 plus HST. Registration is open until Dec. 31. Camp is held on Friday evenings, Saturday and Sunday mornings from April 19 to June 16, at Keith Harris Field on Carleton University Campus.

City codifies rules for public-private partnerships Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Secrecy shouldn’t be part of the deal when it comes to partnerships between the city and private companies, a community representative told the city’s de facto executive committee last week. The city formalized its policy for public-private partnerships – or P3s, as they are known – during an April 2 meeting of the finance and economic development committee. For the most part, the rules

codify what the city has already been doing when it comes to arrangements for companies to build and/or operate municipal facilities such as arenas, said Jeff Byrne, the city’s procurement manager. The policy also adds a requirement to report back to committee and council about the results of the partnership. Bob Brocklebank, a representative of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations and the Glebe Community Association, told the committee that the city needs to be open and provide as much information as possible to convince the

public that a partnership is the best idea. “If a P3 is truly better than a traditional approach, let the public see that is the case,” he said. “Being open about it will reduce the strife that has plagued past projects.” Brocklebank said he has no “ideological objections” to P3s, but the community needs to be fully engaged in the process – both before and after a project is approved and completed – to ensure success. The committee supported an addition from Gloucester-

Southgate Coun. Diane Deans to include a line requiring details about proposed P3s to be released to the public for consultation and information as soon as possible in the process. The formalized policy came out of a request from the city auditor general’s office in 2006. The audit required the city to boost accountability, solidify the business case for partnerships and improve how the results are reported to councillors and the public. Clarifying the roles and responsibilities of city staff in that process was also suggested.

Take good care of your pet EMC news - For many people, pets are not just a companion, but a part of the family. Recently, a growing number of pet owners are going the distance with natural health products and specialized supplements. If your pet is not getting the appropriate nutrients, health issues can arise, like cognitive dysfunction, skeletal weakness, loss of senses like hearing or eyesight, and more. Pet healthcare options are becoming increasingly varied and popular, with many clinics offering herbal remedies, pet acupuncture, and other homeopathic treatments for almost any ailment. The most common recommendations include: probiotics and other dietary supplements with omega-3s for gastrointestinal health and a shiny coat; anti-

Two more names added to this year’s Sunshine List in Ottawa

John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news - The City of Ottawa has almost 1,200 employees who make at least $100,000. In the Ottawa area, the municipal, health, education and legal areas continue to dominate the Sunshine List. The annual list of Ontario Public Service and related employees paid $100,000 or more by taxpayers was released late last week, showing 88,412 workers were paid at least $100,000 in 2012, up about 11 per cent over 2011.

JIM WATSON

ALEX MUNTER

JOHN MANCONI

The municipalities and services sector accounted for 38 per cent of the increase province-wide, or about 3,300 employees. However, in Ottawa, the number of city employees on the list rose by only two, to 1,189. The highest paid city employee, manager Kent Kirkpatrick, earned $350,859. Deputy city managers Steve Kanellakos and Nancy Schepers made $309,239 and $293,616 respectively. The general manager of the city’s transit services John Manconi earned $242,134 in 2012, while recently appointed

chief of police Charles Bordeleau made $237,786. Other prominent Ontario public servants in the Ottawa area on the list include Ottawa Hospital president Dr. Jack Kitts ($701,281), University of Ottawa Heart Institute president Dr. Robert Roberts ($565,882), Carleton University president Roseann Runte ($404,569), University of Ottawa president Allan Rock ($396,303), Algonquin College president Robert Gillett ($365,546), Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario CEO Alex Munter ($331,673), Ottawa medical officer of health

Dr. Isra Levy ($319,067), Ottawa-Carleton Public School Board director of education Jennifer Adams ($238,062), Ottawa Catholic School Board director of education Julian Hanlon ($236,130) and Mayor Jim Watson ($168,657). In releasing the list, the provincial government noted that despite the increase in members in the $100,000 club, the average salary declined, dropping slightly to $127,525 from $127,566 in 2011.

Vegetable tacos make Charity auction raises thousands a great meal or snack Steve Dool

steve.dool@metroland.com

INGREDIENTS

â&#x20AC;˘ 25 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil â&#x20AC;˘ 1 medium onion, ďŹ nely chopped â&#x20AC;˘ 1 large carrot, peeled and grated â&#x20AC;˘ 1 medium zucchini, grated â&#x20AC;˘ 500 g (1 lb) sliced mushrooms â&#x20AC;˘ 35g (1.25 oz) envelope reduced salt taco seasoning mix â&#x20AC;˘ 50 ml (1/4 cup) water â&#x20AC;˘ 12 taco shells, warmed â&#x20AC;˘ 4 romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves, thinly sliced â&#x20AC;˘ Some ďŹ nely diced tomato, for garnish (optional) DIRECTIONS

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook and stir for three to four minutes or until lightly browned. Add the carrot, zucchini, taco seasoning

mix and water, cook and stir to mix well. Lower heat to medium, then cover and cook about four minutes or until vegetables are tender. Uncover and bring to boil until juices evaporate. To serve, place about 50 ml (1/4 cup) filling in each taco shell and top with lettuce and tomato if desired. The tacos can also be served with guacamole. Makes 12 tacos. Tips: To save time, buy pre-sliced mushrooms and grate the carrot and zucchini in a food processor. To warm taco shells, separate and place the shells onto a baking tray and heat in 350 F (180 C) for 10 minutes or until hot. Variation: taco salad. Reduce oil to 15 ml (1 tbsp); add 250 g (1/2 lb) lean ground beef with onion and cook, stirring often until beef is browned. Then add the mushrooms, carrot and zucchini and continue as directed above. Serve hot mixture over salad greens and top with sour cream and chopped green onions. Garnish plate with tomato wedges and taco chips. For more delicious recipe ideas visit Mushrooms Canada at mushrooms.ca.

Tormentor’s prank helped build character, Mother says Fateful walk home from school cements Marguirite’s spoiled-child reputation

MARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories

t wasn’t only that Marguirite was an only child and spoiled beyond belief, but she had a way about her that riled everyone at Northcote School. Often I couldn’t pin down exactly what it was I didn’t like about the young girl. But there were times it was all too obvious that Marguirite felt about me, exactly as I felt about her. Take the day she decided to walk home from school the long way. She could have just hopped down the road to her house about a kilometre away, had she chosen. But that day she decided she would go around the concession and walk to the Northcote side road with my little friend Joyce and me. We could have easily done without her company. There were things we wanted to talk about – the new boy in senior fourth for instance – that we wouldn’t dare say a word about in

front of Marguirite because we might as well write it on the blackboard for the whole school to see. Marguirite couldn’t keep a thing to herself. It was a day I will not soon forget. I can even remember what I had on that day, which had a lot to do with why I remember the details so well. Mother had made me a blouse out of bleached flour bag material. To take away the look that it once held flour, Mother had dyed it a bright green with Ritz dye. That day I had on this freshly dyed blouse over a white skirt which had come in a hand-me-down box from my aunt in St. Catharines. Mother thought it was far too early in the season for a white skirt, but I prevailed on her saying Marguirite had been in white for days. Well, that day, as we headed out after school, Joyce and I tried to ignore Marguirite as we walked along

the Northcote side road. The ditches were full of water from the heavy rains we had that spring and occasionally we would stop and kick small stones into the water or coax a frog off the gravel. Marguirite said she had better things to do with her time than talk to frogs and toss stones into a ditch – Joyce suggested she hurry on ahead of us and do whatever that was. My friend and I had on black brogue shoes – Marguirite’s were patent leather and they soon were covered with sand and dust. We pointed this fact out to her, saying we bet her mother would sure be mad when she got home and saw the mess of her good school footwear. Marguirite assured us her mother never got mad at her. Joyce rolled

her eyes skyward. We didn’t believe her for a minute. I couldn’t wait to get to the end of the side road so that this pest would leave us and head off in the direction that would take her on to her house. What if Marguirite decided to walk down past Briscoe’s General Store? That would mean she would be with us almost all the way home. The thought just about gave me a sick stomach. Joyce suggested to Marguirite that she would be late for supper if she walked with us much farther. That didn’t matter to her, she assured us. Her mother would keep supper warm for her. It was sure different in our house. We better be there when it was time to sit down at the kitchen table or we didn’t eat. She was really getting on

my nerves. I decided the best thing to do so that I could endure the walk to the crossroad was to pretend she wasn’t there. I squatted down on my haunches at the edge of the road, peering into the deep dark green water of the ditch. I told Joyce I could see tadpoles, which of course I couldn’t. Joyce squatted too. We squinted into the water pretending to be deeply engrossed in what was in the water-filled ditches. Well, right out of the blue, Marguirite’s foot hit the

middle of my back and within seconds she connected with Joyce sending us both sprawling. We went headlong into the water. It wasn’t deep, but we came up spluttering and rubbing our eyes. All we could see of Marguirite was those spindly legs bolting down the Northcote side road. Joyce was out of the ditch first. She held her hand down towards me and helped me onto the side of the road. See ENOUGH, page 41

HolaEcuador: A Canadian beachfront development in Ecuador

Enjoy a year-round tropical paradise in a secure, comfortable environment

Gordon Poole, Co-Owner of HolaEcuador, one of the Canadians taking part in the project.

Tired of scraping your windows and shovelling snow? Escape to the warmth and charm of Ecuador! Home to the world-famous Galápagos Islands, millions of hectares of untouched rainforests, massive Andes mountains and hundreds of kilometres of pristine beaches, Ecuador is finding its place on the world stage as a top-tier destination. But it’s not just the weather that’s hot in Ecuador — the real estate market is cooking too, and a Canadian company is making it easy to own a beachfront paradise of which dreams are made. HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. develops and sells beach properties on the Pacific coast of Ecuador. Mirador San Jose — the largest of HolaEcuador’s projects — has over 1600 lots to choose from. Managed by Canadian owners and investors, Mirador San Jose is the perfect winter escape, retirement project, investment and/or rental property opportunity.

Why Ecuador? Unparalleled mix of nature and culture Where else can you visit a volcano on horseback in the morning, meet tribal elders at an Amazonian jungle resort in the afternoon and finish the day with a seafood dinner in an

oceanfront restaurant? One of the most biodiverse places on the planet, Ecuador is the ideal location for outdoor activities such as all types of water sports, biking, fishing, hiking and nature-gazing. Need a fix of culture and culinary wonders? The capital city Quito, perched among volcanoes in the Andes mountains at 9,350 feet boasts the UNESCO World Heritage colonial district, with architecture, restaurants and nightlife that rival the best of European cities. Fantastic climate The climate in Ecuador is ideal all year long, without the extreme wet seasons that are common to the tropics. Being located on the equator, the country never experiences the devastating hurricanes and major tropical storms that are commonplace in regions such as Mexico and Florida. The average temperature varies between 23C and 28C and the water temperature in front of Mirador San Jose is 23C or more, throughout the year. Excellent investment In addition to all the great lifestyle advantages of being in Ecuador, it is also an incredible investment opportunity not to be overlooked. “We have many property owners that missed the Costa Rica boom and are very pleased to find that it’s still possible to acquire a property

Full ownership homes? yes! Lots from $12,000 Beach Properties

Owning property at the Mirador San Jose is ideal for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio. The value of the lots at the development has increased on average by 45 per cent over the last two years. And there are no taxes on capital gains on the occasional sale of properties in Ecuador, even for second and third residences, which makes investing in Ecuadorian real estate and interesting alternative to the stock markets. Further, property owners can take advantage of the property value increase while generating rental income.

Welcome to Mirador San Jose Mirador San Jose is located 60 kilometres south of Eloy Alfaro International Airport in the port city of Manta and just minutes north of Machalilla National Park, a spectacular jungle and marine park. Accessible by the Routa del Sol, a brand new highway built specifically to cater to the region’s growing tourist population, Mirador San Jose consists of over 1600 lots on a 130-acre, master planned, gated beachfront property. The development features all basic services (water, sewage, electricity) running underground, as well as domestic waste and sewage recycling, high speed Internet, plenty of parks, playgrounds and recreational areas with tennis courts, soccer field and swimming pools. Further, there are three sectors within the development zoned for restaurants, bars, shops, boutiques, cafés, grocery stores and a medical centre. “You’re not buying a cottage lot; these are full ownership properties in a resort town,” says Mr. Poole. “Fully serviced lots a short 10-minute walk from the beach are available for under $12,000. It’s very difficult to find this value and quality elsewhere in the world, which is why our properties are selling quickly. Of the 600+ home sites sold to

date, more than 400 have been purchased by Canadians, and the remainder mainly by Ecuadorians. Since this past September alone, 45 home sites have been snapped up by OttawaGatineau residents.” Once clients have secured their lot, HolaEcuador will help them build the beach home of their dreams. “We offer many home models for all tastes and budgets,” says Mr. Poole. “We also offer custom house and condominium design services. Our architects and engineers work with clients to make their dream house a reality, at prices that are a fraction of what they would pay in North America. Luxurious homes can be built in Ecuador for US$75 to $95 per square foot. We have nice little two-bedroom bungalows that are available for only $55,000 and larger, two-story luxurious homes with private pool available for $161,900 — land and taxes included!”

HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. is owned and operated by Canadians with offices in Trois-Rivières, QC and Manta, Ecuador, and with regional sales representatives across Eastern Canada. Co-owner Gordon Poole lives in the Ottawa area and makes frequent visits to the Mirador San Jose project, where a team of Canadian and Ecuadorian professionals are permanently located. “Nearly half of our clientele comes from referrals from existing customers, which demonstrates how excited property owners are to be part of this community,” says Mr. Poole. “Our property owners vary from adventurers in their 20s to pre-retirees in their 40s and 50s who are buying property now, while it’s still affordable. Some intend to use their property for vacationing only, while others are planning to use it as a rental income investment. Certain clients see property ownership in Ecuador as a means to stretch their vacation and investment dollars further, while others are simply looking to escape the cold winters. Here in Ecuador you can do both.” HolaEcuador will be holding a free informational seminar on the lifestyle and financial benefits of property ownership in Ecuador on April 18, 20 and 21.

in an oceanfront development such as ours,” says Gordon Poole, co-owner of HolaEcuador. “In fact, real estate prices in Ecuador match those of Costa Rica of 15 years ago.” Indeed, many people dream of owning a property in the tropics, but the capital costs can be significant. Property in Ecuador, however, is absolutely within the reach of many Canadians’ budget. Ecuadorians enjoy the lowest cost of living in all of South America, a high standard of living and a stable, democratic government.

Celebrating Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s (CASO) work, generously donating approximately 30,000 hours of their time each year. Volunteer tasks are varied and flexible, matching interests and skills with volunteer positions and working with people’s busy schedules. While some of CASO’s volunteer opportunities require a moderate time commitment, Special Assignments allow for more flexibility. Special Assignment include: organizing, knitting and crafts, providing entertainment, or acting as photographers at events. Volunteer Drivers support the children and youth in care by providing a safe nonjudgmental space where they can comfortably sit in silence or speak with an attentive listener. Child Access Volunteers similarly help to provide a safe space by supervising visits between parents and children. Pre-School Volunteers and Tutor/Mentors Brier Dodge/Metroland provide more formalized guidance. PreSchool Volunteers assist professional staff, guiding children from three months to five years through a variety of weekly programs. Denisa Krizova, right, gets a hug from teammates after scoring her team’s lone goal in the April 3 game against Russia at Tutors/Mentors, under the supervision of the Nepean Sportsplex. Russia beat Czech Republic 3-1 on the second day of the world women’s hockey championships. The the case worker, help school-aged children teams faced off in front of Ottawa schoolchildren. with subjects like Math, English and Science, encouraging students to develop their interests and build educational goals. Volunteering with CASO is a learning opportunity for the volunteers themselves as they undergo training, work collaboratively with fellow volunteer and staff and develop relationships with foster parents and the families we serve. The scope of our volunteers’ work is extensive. And their commitment and generosity to the community is humbling. Here at CASO, we recognize the importance of our volunteers every day. They are the building blocks upon which our foundation, and in fact, our community, rests.

There was nothing to do but head for home. By the time I hit the kitchen door, my clothes were dry and the green water mixed with weeds from the ditch and mud from the road, were caked to my legs. Only then did I burst into tears. Mother stripped my clothes and even though it wasn’t yet Saturday night, I was given a bath in the copper tub before supper. All the time I lamented about the girl I hated with a passion, but once again Mother called my ordeal character building. I told Mother, after my ordeal with Marguirite, I thought I had had just about all the character building I could stand in one lifetime.

Learning partnership results in fitness campaign jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A learning partnership has created a class of junior entrepreneurs at Knoxdale Public School. Ben Shepherd’s Grade 5 and 6 students have been working on a project to keep their peers moving. Their business model – called Full Speed Ahead – attempts to market wristbands and water bottles with the slogan “Don’t sit, get fit.” “It really works,” Shepherd said. “Over the weekend every time I would sit down to read I would see the wristband and get motivated to get up and do something.” The project is part of an initiative started by a national charity called The Learning Partnership – an organization that promotes public education. The project is designed to get the students out in the community and learning to apply their learned skills to the real world. Samantha Lin, a student working on the project, said her class got sponsorship money from a Canadian Tire store to purchase the bottles and wrist bands. Any money left over will go to Jumpstart, a charity aimed at making recreational activities available to kids regardless of their parent’s income. “We wanted to do a fitness business because physical exercise isn’t the priority any more,” Lin said. The class voted on what type of product they

would sell and then decided on the name and slogan diplomatically. The name was picked because it denotes movement, Shepherd said. Students also approached store managers about sponsorship and designed a marketing campaign as part of the project. Their target demographic was youth aged 10 to 17. “One of the things we found most important is that each group have a leader,” Amanda McCarthy said. “There had to be someone for peoJENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND ple to follow to push the project forward. We Ben Shepherd and his class of Grade 5 and 6 students will be launching their business couldn’t just have followers or nothing would model in an attempt to raise money for Jumpstart. have gotten done.” Alim Dhanani said the class ordered the bottles and the wristbands from different websites. They have been selling them at the school or in their neighbourhoods since March Break. Wristbands are $2 and the bottles are $6. “We found some colours sell better than others,” Dhanani said. “Green and blue sold really well, but red and yellow aren’t as popular.” Now that sales have begun, the class has They call me Mr. Gorgeous... a handsome, friendly decided on a launch party to sell more of their lovable boy...can have not enough loving and cuddling stock and to promote fitness in the school. and be close to a human friend .

Gathering a learning opportunity

Serving Kanata north

Jessica Cunha

EMC news - Aboriginal youth and elders came together to share their knowledge and to learn about each other on Saturday, April 6. The all day gathering was a chance for youth to gather insights about their heritage and traditions, while also imparting their own wisdom to the elders. “We’re so excited to learn what they are up to,” said Métis Nation of Ontario Senator Reta Gordon, who grew up in Ottawa. “The youth to the elders are like our grandchildren.” She said one thing she’s learned from young aboriginals – which include First Nation, Métis and Inuit – is “how lucky they are. They are so much luckier than their elders because they knew from day one who they were. They had pride of nationhood.” Growing up, Gordon said her generation and those before her had to hide their nationality as a means of survival. “Our generation and our parents generation, they hid who they were because of the times,” she said. But now, it’s something to be embraced. “Years ago it was a shame to be aboriginal,” said Gordon, who lives in Centretown. “Now it’s pride in who you are.” Her biggest piece of wisdom for today’s youth is to track their ancestry – Gordon can trace hers back to the 1700s. “Get on the computer and get the documentation because it is there,” she said. “Then you know where you belong ... Knowing and having documentation are two different things.”

UNITY

As the snow disappears pedestrians and cyclists emerge in greater numbers. Cyclists, other than very young children, are reminded that sidewalks are for pedestrians. Bicycles are a vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act and are not permitted on sidewalks. This includes both concrete and asphalt paths along the side of a road. Those riding on the sidewalk along Campeau Dr. have been a particular problem, as many seniors, with mobility issues, live along Campeau Dr. A number of pedestrians have been knocked down by cyclists, who didn’t have the courtesy to stop and help them – or even apologize. So I will be asking the police to patrol and charge cyclists on the sidewalk. The design for Campeau Dr. west from Kanata Ave. to Huntmar Dr. is to have the curb, then a boulevard, then a bike path and finally a sidewalk. This would be safer for both pedestrians and cyclists. That part of Campeau Dr. will be built over the next few years. Widening of the rest of the road is some time away so, in the meantime, I will see if it is possible to make any changes to the cycling lanes to improve safety. This year the westbound ramp from March Rd. to Highway 417 will be closed for 12-14 weeks for a culvert upgrade. At that time traffic on Campeau will increase, so extra care needs to be taken when driving along this road during construction. Details of the work on the 417 project, including work on the bridges from March Rd. to Carp Rd., is on my website. The March-Eagleson Bridge will be 3 lanes until the bridge rehabilitation is completed.

STREET SWEEPING Spring is also the time when streets, sidewalks and pathways are swept to remove the sand and silt left by the melting snow. In Kanata there is usually just one sweeping done, while in the downtown area regular cleaning is required. Some sweeping operations occur at night, and although dust control measures are used, there may be some dust. Take heart though – it means spring is really coming.

WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BEAVERS? A workshop on beavers on April 22nd in Perth will address various aspects of beavers, including their importance to the environment, and how to manage beavers to keep them from flooding roads, etc. Registration is $10 (includes lunch). The workshop runs from 9 am to 4 pm. Additional information is on my website.

Eighteen-year-old Sage Picody was part of the ceremonial drum circle at the gathering. He has been training for 10 years on the drums and grew up on the northern Ontario reserve Mattagami First Nations. He said he plays the drums to create unity. “It brings people together,” said Picody, who lives in Vanier. “(It’s also) medicine; it makes people feel good inside. It brings happiness.” Having a chance to listen to his elders gives him “more of an understanding,” he said. “You get to hear how they lived in the past ... what the differences are.” Around 45 people attended the daylong gathering at the Richelieu Vanier Community Centre, put together by Wendy Lanouette and Wendy Dehler. “The youth want to learn from the elders,” said Lanouette, who grew up in Chippewas of Nawash near Georgian Bay. “They learn the traditional teachings ... the reasons we have certain traditions we follow.” Many youth grow up in cities without a connection to their heritage. “Some of them have never experienced that,” said Lanouette. “They know they’re aboriginal but they don’t know what that means.” The day included medicine wheel teachings, live entertainment and presentations and reflections. “It’s just a way of reconnecting,” said Lanouette.

We Day inspires students to become change makers Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - Hillcrest High School students received a taste of what to expect when 4,000 students from across Canada descend on the National Capital Region to attend this year’s first National We Day event at Gatineau’s Robert Guertin Arena on April 29. Free the Children Founder Craig Kielburger was at Hillcrest on April 3 to announce the official lineup for National We Day, which includes actor and activist Martin Sheen, Assembly of First Nations national chief Shawn Atleo, Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, singer and songwriter My Name is Kay and Canadian pop-rock band Neverest among others. The We Day celebration is free to attend but students must earn their way in by committing to have one local and one global service action. That is exactly what Hillcrest students Caitlin Salvino, 17, and Rebecca Wong, 16 did to earn tickets that allowed them to attend the 2011 We Day event in Toronto. “The thing that shocked me the most about We Day was the fact that in the Air Canada Centre, there were 18,000 justas-inspired youths ready to go back home and make this world a better place,” said Salvino.

Counselling sessions for boys at horse ranch EMC news - Does your boy hide his feelings? Could he benefit from the camaraderie with other boys in a healthy setting? Independent Child and Youth Counselling, located at 1347 Stittsville Main St. is offering a 10-week group sessions for youth boys aged 10 to 13 years old. This 10-week session is fee-based and will be held on a rural West Ottawa horse ranch located in Fitzroy Harbour (25 minutes from Kanata). The focus of the weekly groups is based on social and life skills related to issues and challenge that youth boys struggle with. The facilitator of this group is Julie Clarke, a qualified child and youth care practitioner. Starting April 18 through to June 20 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. boys ages 10 to 13 years can attend 10 weekly sessions at the West Ottawa farm. There is a low participantto-helper ratio in order to en-

Topics discussed include family, bullying, respect, acceptance, feelings and selfesteem; the intention of the group is to assist participants in better understanding selfregulation and awareness of emotions and feelings and how they drive our reaction (response) in certain situations. Pre-selected male professionals are also invited as guest speakers. Individuals registered to attend the group sessions will gain social and life skills enhancing emotional coping, understanding and development.

Aries, you must stand up for what you believe is right, even if it costs you a few friends along the way. It is the price to pay for doing the honorable thing. Taurus, take a trip this week if it will help you reach your goals. The change of scenery could give you an entirely new perspective on a situation that needs tackling.

Libra, don’t feel guilty if your opinion differs from others’. If you don’t agree with the consensus, then that is your opinion and your right. Scorpio, say what is on your mind because sometimes people just need to hear the honest truth. You have a good way of exacting authority and representing others.

Gemini, think about adding some new skills to your resume. It’s not that your job is in turmoil right now, but it always pays to be a step ahead when it comes to your career. Cancer, just because everyone else is making changes doesn’t mean you have to at this time as well. If things are working out, then let them stay as they are for a while.

Sagittarius, get together with people who share your love of adventure this week. Together you can enjoy time spent living vicariously and enjoying the scenery flying by. Capricorn, if you want to get real results this time, change your approach with a person who has been troublesome in the past. You will get the knack of persuasion.

Don’t set limits on what you do, Leo. Changes at work mean you may need to fill different roles that require new skills. There’s a good chance you can master them. Networking comes in all shapes and sizes, Virgo. Attend a fun function to put yourself in touch with new people and lead to encounters that can help your future.

Discuss issues from your past that you have yet to resolve, Aquarius. This is the week to “come clean” with a spouse or romantic partner or someone else close to you. Pisces, do generous things for others, and not only will you feel great, but also you will get an unexpected reward.
