City committee calls for better planning to prevent traffic snarls. – Page 36

EMC news - A plan to introduce a grades 7 to 12 high school model in Kanata north was rejected by the OttawaCarleton District School Board on Thursday, April 5. Trustees voted 6 to 4 against a Kanata north accommoda-

tion study recommended by board staff and supported by Kanata trustee Cathy Curry. The study proposed widespread program and grade changes to provide a longterm solution to overcrowding in Kanata north’s elementary schools. Curry noted the motion was

opposed mostly by trustees living in the city’s core, with support coming from only Mark Fisher (Gloucester-South Nepean), Katie Holtzhauer (Innes/ Beacon Hill-Cyrville and Lynn Scott (West Carleton-March/ Stittsville/Rideau-Goulbourn). Voting against the motion were: Bronwyn Funiciello (Rideau-Rockliffe/Alta Vista), Shirley Seward (River), Jennifer McKenzie (SomersetKitchissippi), Rob Campbell (Rideau-Vanier-Capital) Pam Fitzgerald (College), Theresa Kavanagh (Bay) and Donna Blackburn (Barrhaven-Knox-

dale-Merivale). John Shea (Orleans-Cumberland) expressed support for the motion but was not available during the vote. “The trustees don’t want to spend capital dollars in Kanata,” said Curry at the end of the board special committee of the whole meeting. “Trustees have been content to shuffle kids around in Kanata again and again.” Curry predicted the board may have to perform another accommodation review study in five years to address overcrowding.

The school board committee will meet on April 16 to debate a similar plan put forward by staff for schools in Kanata south and an alternate motion for schools in Kanata north put forward by trustee McKenzie. The board will make a final decision on April 24. MEETING

Staff presented a multi-year plan to reduce overcrowding in Kanata north’s elementary schools.

Community mourns Glen Cairn woman Angela Kilby killed in Portugal Scott Girvin

scott.girvin@metroland.com

EMC News – Friends and family are in mourning after a Glen Cairn woman was killed in a car accident near Faro, Portugal on Tuesday morning, April 3. An event of remembrance is being held in the memory of Angela Kilby at the Mlacak Centre this Friday, April 13, starting at 7:30 p.m. Funeral arrangements are pending as family and friends are unsure when Nigel will be able to travel back to Ottawa. Kilby and her husband, Nigel, were driving to an airport in Portugal when they swerved to avoid a paper delivery van which was driving on the wrong side of the road. This resulted in a head-on collision killing Angela and leaving Nigel in hospital with

serious injuries. The couple had been travelling in Europe over the past month on holiday. News of the traffic accident spread quickly in Kanata. Both Nigel and Angela were well known in the community, due to their combined desire to make their community a better and more neighborly place to live, according to friends and family. “They developed an extended family all across the (Kanata area),” said longtime friend, Michelle Sutherland. “They were my second family, my elders, people I turned to for advice and support.” The tribute event, titled; Remembering Angela, will allow friends and family to come together and celebrate her life. “That is, in part, why the

tribute is happening this Friday,” said Sutherland. “It’s to create a place for people to gather. I have a sense that people are in need to (hold a memorial).” Miriam Kilby will attend her mother’s remembrance event while her brother, Howard, flies to Portugal on Wednesday. “I feel lucky that I was raised by such amazing parents. I can feel strong despite this being the worst tragedy of my life,” said Miriam. Kilby’s activism in Kanata started a year after she moved to Glen Cairn in 1967, where she played a pivotal roll in developing a preschool at the local community centre. In 1968, Kilby pushed local council to open a nursery school at the Glen Cairn Community Centre, said Miriam.

With help from neighboring families, fundraising, equipment and donations were received to start the preschool. Among the other facets of Kilby’s community activism was her extensive involvement in the Ottawa dance community. She was an active member and organizer of several dance communities, including international, Irish Kayleigh, and Scottish clubs, and was a founding member of the Ottawa English Country Dance Club, 27 years ago. The club will host the evening of remembrance for Kilby, featuring several of her favourite dances. John Nash, a member of the English Country Dance Club, said they will do a modern dance called Sweet Cecily. “It was one of her favourites,” he said.

‘We have shuffled these kids around so many times. This has to stop.’: trustee BOARD MEETING, from 1

Blair Edwards photo

The staff and students at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School in Bridlewood raised more than $2,500 for a board-run foundation that helps financially disadvanted students. Above, the staff and students present a cheque to Jane Fulton, executive to the board’s Education Foundation during a school spirit rally on Thursday, April 5.

Canlok Stone Inc.

The staff plan called for construction of an elementary school, a $4-million addition to South March Public School and a $10-million addition to Earl of March Secondary School. Elementary schools in Kanata are now 800 pupil places over capacity, and will increase to as much as 2,000 with projected growth in new developments in Kanata Lakes, Morgan’s Grant, the Hope Side Road lands and the Fernbank development, said staff. “The situation is such that if we don’t get this money, we don’t have a plan B for you,” said Karyn Ostafichuk, a planning manager for the public board. But several trustees objected to the amount of money staff said was needed to provide a long-term solution to overcrowding in Kanata schools. “My concerns lie with the large capital outlay,” said McKenzie. “Staff estimate (spending) $30 million to $50 million.” During a meeting on Monday, April 2, Ostafichuk said the money, spent over several years, would pay for two ele-

mentary schools, additions to elementary and high schools, and potentially a new high school. McKenzie questioned staff’s projection for residential growth in Kanata. “I don’t think we have a handle on the number of units to be built,” she said. But the Somerset-Kitchissippi trustee said she agreed a new elementary school in Kanata north should be a capital priority. Trustee Fitzgerald said she also had qualms with staff’s wish list. “It strikes me we’re asking a lot for one section of the city,” she said. Fitzgerald said she also wasn’t convinced of the need to move grades 7s and 8s to a high school. “I don’t know why we need a 7 to 12 model,” she said. “Parents stay with our board because they like the 9 to 12 model.” Trustee Shea said trustees shouldn’t base their decisions on geography. “This is not a question of one end of the city and preferred treatment,” he said. “If the need is there, we have to meet that need.” The grades 7 to 12 model has been proven to work in

NEW SCHOOL

The Ontario Ministry of Education is ready to pull the trigger on funding construction of a new elementary school in Kanata north, according to public school board trustee Cathy Curry. But the public school board must first request the money as one of its capital projects priorities before a May 31 deadline and approve recommendations in an accommodation review study in Kanata north, she said. A build site for the new school has already been identified by board staff, who have been negotiating a potential deal with developers and landowners in a region west of Kanata Lakes. Staff said they have had “positive discussions with one developer” for a site located somewhere north of Highway 417, near Huntmar Drive. The board won’t give an exact location of the site until it’s ready to sign a deal. The board hopes to build a second elementary school in Kanata north, near the intersection of the future realignment of Goulbourn Forced Road and Terry Fox Drive – once the land is fully serviced by the City of Ottawa.

Plans to form Kanata BIA still in the works stuart.thornley@metroland.com

EMC news –A meeting was held at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata for property owners and tenants of the Kanata North Business Park to further discuss a proposed Business Improvment Area for the over 500 businessess in the area. The business improvement area’s (BIA) steering committee has been working for over a year to show retailers, business tenants and property owners that forming the city’s 18th BIA would bring more clients, qualified university graduates and attention to an area that houses most of Ottawa’s technology industry. “This business park has one of the largest concentrations of businesses in Ottawa,” said Adam Chowaniec, honorary chair of the steering committee. “A BIA can give the park a unified voice and will play a role in bringing the (light rail transit) to Kanata.” This collection of businesses in Kanata north thrive off of one another, he said.

Q At risk of heart disease or stroke? Living with one of these conditions?

Property owners rent out space to business owners who are in turn trying to attract qualified workers to come work for them, Chowaniec, adding that these new employees move to Kanata and in turn support the housing market and local retailers by becoming members of the Kanata community.

‘A BIA can give the park a unified voice and will play a role in bringing the (light rail transit) to Kanata.’ ADAM CHOWANIEC, HONORARY STEERING COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN

This community, driven on the technology industry, needs growth in one sector so all sectors can turn a profit, he said. Issues about paying levys and not having their voices heard were raised during the question period of the meeting. The steering committee re-

assured the prospective members that all money put into the BIA will stay there and will only be used after consulting the BIA’s members. “The mission statement for the BIA has not been determined and will not be written by the steering committee. It will be created by the members of the BIA when it is formed,” said Patrick Ferris, a member of the steering committee. It was made very clear that the steering committee will step down if the BIA goes ahead and a liason will be appointed to deal with the city and personal inquests from members of the BIA. “This park was built under the benevolent shadow of Nortel,” said Ferris. “When Nortel collapsed the employees stayed and were re-hired. Kanata north is home to some of the best university graduates from across Canada and is a great place to raise a family.” The steering committee has called for the BIA to raise $100,000 to start and then a yearly levy for each company, property owner and retailer to pay. The example given by the committee was a company like Pleora, with 50 employees, would pay roughly $300 a year.

It’s been two years since both Tony House, event chair of the Fred Page Cup, and Lou Nistico, general manager of the Kanata Stallions, stood in front of the Central Canada Hockey League executive in Brockville presented their bid and earned the right to host the 2012 Fred Page Cup. Immediately after being awarded the prestigious championship the host organizing committee began planning what will be a very memorable week in Ottawa or also known as “Hockey Country”. The four-team championship will consist of the winners from the Maritime Junior Hockey League (MHL), Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League (LHJAAAQ), the CCHL league champion and the host team, the Stallions. The Fred Page Cup is definitely starting to build some excitement and momentum which will take place at the Kanata Recreation Complex later next month, April 25-29. On the ice Nistico anticipates a competitive tournament, “the local hockey community will definitely see some fantastic hockey and some future hockey stars.” Nistico also believes that the FPC winner will compete for a national championship at the RBC Cup in Humboldt, Sask. “Eastern Canada, especially the CCHL boasts some outstanding teams so we’re looking to defend what the Pembroke Lumber Kings achieved last year.” The Kanata Stallions who are also celebrating their 25th season will host a Valley Lasers/Stallions Alumni Night on Friday, April 27 – former Valley Laser great and NHLer Todd White is the honorary captain for the evening.

The official Fred Page Cup Championship/Awards Banquet on Saturday, April 28, will feature world renowned hockey trivia expert Liam Maguire as MC and former CCHL player and current pro Randy Robitaille as its guest speaker. The tournament organizers are also working with the Kanata Food Cupboard (www.kanatafoodcupboard. ca) where their asking all attendees to bring non-perishable food items to the rink all week.

Pet owners have stake in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left behind

pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite

season. Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs. Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fun for anyone. The vast majority of dog

owners clean up after their pet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be knee deep in the stuff by now. So how do we convince the offending few to scoop? Do we need more laws and regulations? Pet owners would no doubt say â&#x20AC;&#x153;No.â&#x20AC;? And our bylaw officers have better things to do than stake out parks on the off-chance a bad owner will offend in plain view.

Do we need better education? The city advises owners to scoop poop and take it home, where they should flush it down the toilet so that our sewage system can treat the dog dirt like it does our own. Why not use a garbage can in the park or the bin at home? Turns out all the poop that ends up in the trash will become part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landfill, making it even more

of a challenge to prevent toxins from seeping into our waterways. Even if you own a dog and choose to use a garbage can, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a darn sight better than failing to scoop at all. Maybe we need to make things easier for all pet owners by providing better poop containers in the, shall we say, hotspots. That would take tax dollars. Some offenders may be children who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like

the idea of carrying a bag of poop to the garbage or back home. If your son or daughter takes the dog out for a walk, why not insist they bring home what Rover eliminates, just to be sure your family isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the problem. In the end (no pun intended), if the problem gets worse, society will put in place penalties or regulations that affect all dog owners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the good and the bad.

Maybe licence costs will rise to cover clean-up costs. Maybe a bylaw you disagree with will be passed. To avoid those potential pitfalls, pet owners should be at the forefront of making sure all owners scoop after their dogs. Use peer pressure. Use education. Carry an extra bag to clean up after an owner who gives you a bad name. After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog owners that have the most to lose.

Making your own noise CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

his happened at a basketball game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, but it could have been anywhere. The scoreboard lights up and says â&#x20AC;&#x153;NOISE!â&#x20AC;? and a voice booms out: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make some noise!â&#x20AC;? And guess what? Everybody makes noise. Sheep, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we are. Noisy sheep. Somebody with a microphone tells us to do something and we do it. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing new about this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on in stadiums and arenas ever since the technology allowed it. But there was a time when the noise was spontaneous. It came from the flow of the game. When the game became exciting, the fans became excited, all by themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a hit!â&#x20AC;? is a vintage bit of noise, found at ancient baseball games. Now nobody says â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a hit!â&#x20AC;? Instead, we clap or stomp our feet if the scoreboard tells us to. Occasionally the scoreboard gets it right. The folks begin chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;DEE-FENCE!â&#x20AC;? just around the time that defence is called for. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice, you think, but then you look up at the scoreboard and realize that the fans are chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;DEE-FENCE!â&#x20AC;? because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the scoreboard. There must be limits to this. Surely, you would not throw your beer at the mascot if the scoreboard said â&#x20AC;&#x153;THROW YOUR BEER AT THE MASCOT!â&#x20AC;? But you never know. History is full of examples of weird crowd behaviour, of people doing things they never thought they would do because everyone else was. While you wish people would be a bit more

individualistic in crowds at the arena, conformity is not always a bad thing. We all stop at the red light, for example. Individualistic behaviour at intersections would not be helpful to society. Likewise, people doing whatever they want in the classroom can create problems. The same with church. The same with shopping mall parking lots. But a little spontaneity can be refreshing. And it can be quite effective. I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy who claims that he began the spontaneous chant about firing the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FIRE WILSON!â&#x20AC;? he chanted, early in the game and nothing happened. Nobody else chanted with him. He tried it a couple of times more and eventually it worked. Without prompting from the scoreboard, the chant spread around the arena. Perhaps it worked too well. Whether it was a direct result or not, the coach was looking for other employment the next day. For sure, this was unkind. You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to show up at work and find everyone chanting that you should be fired. But at least it was spontaneous. A slightly less spontaneous chant arose at Scotiabank Place the other night, when fans of Daniel Alfredsson began chanting his name at a time specified in an Internet campaign. This was nice, richly deserved and definitely an improvement over slavishly following the dictates of the scoreboard and the public address system. Some day the Internet may replace the scoreboard as cheerleader and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to watch out. People get into trouble following the crowd on the Internet. Bad things happen to their computers, or worse. Most people who know hockey and know Ottawa expect there to be real emotion in the stands in the playoff games to come. So much so that no one should need any prompting to jump up and cheer. The question is whether we have become so accustomed to following the scoreboard that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still wait to be prompted. We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Sens go!â&#x20AC;? is not the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most original cheer, but it will sound

Few Canadians fit physical activity into work days: survey Special to the Kourier-Standard

EMC news - A recent survey commissioned by ParticipACTION found that 88 per cent of employed Canadians spend time at work on personal activities such as checking Facebook, making personal calls or chatting with colleagues, yet only 17 per cent make time for a physical activity break. To help encourage Canadians to move more at work and in general, ParticipACTION launches Sneak It In Week, which runs this year from April 9 to 13, to help Canadians sneak in short amounts of physical activity during the day. “If you can fit in a coffee break, you probably have time to sneak in physical activity too,” says Kelly Murumets, president and CEO of ParticipACTION, the national voice of physical activity and sport participation. “A short activity break can actually count towards the recommended level of physical activity per week adults require for health benefits.” According to the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, adults need 150 minutes of

heart-pumping activity per week, but this does not have to be done all at once.  Research shows that even tiny bouts of physical activity—as little as 10 minutes at a time—are associated with increased fitness. The survey also found that the main reason Canadian employees are not taking a physically active break during work hours is because they do not have the time; however, 34 per cent said they would like to do so. “We know only 15 per cent of Canadian adults are getting enough physical activity and that everyone is busy, but fitting physical activity into your work day can be easier than you think,” says Murumets.  “If you cannot get to the gym, think of other simple ways to get active at work like starting a lunchtime walking group or booking a conference room to do a power yoga session.” ParticipACTION is encouraging Canadians to wear sneakers to work as much as possible during Sneak It In Week, so that getting physically active is easier to do. So, lose the loafers and give the heels a break this week.  Some examples of easy ways to add 10 minutes of physical activity into the work day are: • Get coffee or lunch a few extra blocks away • Have a walking meeting

with colleagues • Park 10 minutes from the building entrance

• Go “power shopping” to get active while running errands

Canadians are invited to share how they are sneaking it in this week on Facebook at

Volunteer shares story of vision loss EMC news - “You will eventually go blind.” Those are the words Betty Meacher heard when she was 34 years old and the mother of four children. “The impact was devastating and the words life-changing,” said Meacher. As Meacher began to lose her vision, she turned to CNIB to help maintain her independence. She has learned that travelling alone with vision loss doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, it can be a liberating experience, and caring specialists are there every step of the way. Meacher also rediscovered the joys of reading through the CNIB Library which is Canada’s largest library for people who are unable to read

traditional print. Meacher uses a DAISY (digital accessible information system) player. These machines allow individuals with vision loss to access a variety of materials, including books, in audio format. “Over the past 30 years CNIB has provided support to help me move forward as my sight gradually faded away,” said Meacher. “The faces may have changed but CNIB employees always have positive attitudes, warm smiles, and words of hope. When no one seemed to understand what I was going through, CNIB did.” Meacher, now 74, has chosen to give back to CNIB through volunteering. “It’s one way to say thank you,”

she said. Meacher serves as a leader for CNIB’s ambassador program. She works with other volunteers who have vision loss to help improve the eye health of residents in her community and eliminate avoidable sight loss. Every time ambassadors share their stories with a group of community leaders, speak to a service club about vision health or discuss CNIB programs and services, CNIB is one step closer to its goal. In honour of National Volunteer Week, CNIB would like to celebrate its volunteers. “CNIB has always been an organization of people helping people, and nowhere is this more evident than in the incredible work of our volunteers.” said Linda Goldblatt, CNIB’s executive director for Ontario and Nunavut. CNIB’s volunteer team stretches from one end of the country to the other – and it’s made up of Canadians of all walks of life. They’re truly the heart and soul of our organization, and they do everything from producing accessible library materials, to co-ordinating events, to working with people who are blind or partially sighted right in their own homes and communities. To become part of CNIB’s passionate volunteer team today, email volunteer@cnib.ca or call the CNIB Helpline at 1-800-563-2642.

‘CSI gloves’ are handy even when there’s no crime scene

here’s one type of glove that is really useful in the kitchen. It’s the thin latex type, sometimes referred to as CSI gloves. If you’re not familiar with the TV series, CSI stands for Crime Scene Investigation. You can buy these gloves by the boxful at most pharmacies and you’ll quickly discover how many uses they have around the kitchen. The gloves will keep your hands clean when you’re mixing meatloaf, or shaping meatballs or hamburger patties. If you’re dipping meat, chicken or fish in a liquid such as milk or egg, then in flour or bread crumbs, or in a barbecue sauce, the latex gloves will really come in handy to keep your hands clean. If you’re mixing or shaping cookie dough or kneading a sticky biscuit or bread dough, wearing CSI gloves reduces the mess in the kitchen. Slip the gloves off when you have to transfer a baking sheet or pan to the oven and you won’t be transferring bits of dough to everything you touch. And if you’re interrupted when you’re in the middle of a messy task, you can slip

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff off the gloves and respond to the interruption, whether it’s the phone ringing or a family member in need. To avoid cross-contamination, always discard the gloves after handling any raw meat or egg product. If you use the heavier yellow rubber kitchen gloves to wash dishes, you probably find that it’s always the right hand glove that gets a hole in it first. When that happens, instead of throwing out both gloves, keep the left hand glove. Turning the left glove inside out will make it into a glove that fits the right hand. Keep it as a spare for the next time you need to replace a right hand glove. And here’s another tip that you may find useful, particularly if you have a large collection of cookbooks. You may find, as I do, that you remember seeing a recipe, but you can’t recall

which cookbook it was in. Consider starting an index of your own for the recipes that you’re most likely to try. Whenever you browse through a cookbook, have a notebook handy. When you come across a recipe that you’d like to try, jot down the name of the recipe and the title of the cookbook in your notebook. Include the page number and any extra comments that will help you remember later what was special about it. Then, when you’re looking for a particular recipe, you’ll be able to check your own personalized index to find it. This will make it much easier to find the recipe. It also helps to use a sticky note to mark the page in the cookbook. Jot down the name of the recipe on the note and stick it on the appropriate page with the recipe name showing above the top of the page.

Life-long love affair with English begins

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories one out. My older sister Audrey wasn’t sure exactly what Mother meant either, although she was reasonably sure it had a lot to do with our success when we were all grown up. At any rate, Mother decided what our family needed was a big black Webster dictionary. There was an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer and it would cost next to

nothing and be shipped free any place in the world. It was up to every one of us, she said, to get the money. Father said we weren’t to count on him. What earthly good was a dictionary when your main concern was getting the wheat planted, the cows fed, the milking done and any other number of farm chores? His argument was lost on Mother and we five kids. That night, there was no sitting around the kitchen table leafing through the Eaton’s catalogue. The boys’ whittling would have to wait. The job that night was to see how much money we could all come up with.

Audrey and I got our hankies out, untied the knot in the corner and were able to come up with 36 cents. The brothers added about 40 cents to the pot. Mother went to the blue sugar bowl and took down the egg money. She emptied it out on the oilcloth-covered table and sorted the coins. There were no bills, just a couple quarters, a few dimes and several big brown pennies. It looked like we were a long way off from what the ad was asking for in the Philadelphia Inquirer. I was sure Father was grinning behind the Ottawa Farm Journal from his perch in the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Mother didn’t seem to be the least concerned. She filled out the coupon from the paper, wrote C.O.D. on it, put it in an envelope and Audrey was ordered to put it in our mailbox on the way to school. She said by the time

the dictionary arrived, she would have earned enough money by selling more eggs, butter, chickens and sticky buns in Renfrew. And so the work began. Everyone but Father was on a mission. Every penny, every nickel was put in the bowl. Would it ever arrive? Each day coming home from school that was the first thing we asked Mother as we piled in the kitchen door. “Be patient,” she’d say. But we could tell she was just as anxious as we were. Then one day, as we were coming down our long lane, there was Mother standing in the open doorway frantically waving her arms in the air. “It’s here ... it’s here!” There it was, in all its glory, sitting on a clean white flour bag tea towel on the kitchen table. It was almost as big as the family bible. Mother wouldn’t let any of us touch it until we had thoroughly washed our

hands. Once we all had a good look at it, Mother carried it into the parlour and put it on the twig table. Rules were made on the spot. No one was to lay a finger on it until the hands had been washed. And no turning down a page to mark a place. No pencil marks underlining a word. We vowed to abide by every rule. After all, this was a major expense and it had to be treated with the utmost respect. Mother said if the dictionary was going to be worth anything, it had to be used, so we were to each find a word every night, write it down and become familiar with it. The ritual became part of our lives, just like browsing Eaton’s catalogue and writing in our diaries. It opened up a whole new world for us and so began our life-long love affair with words and the wonders of the English language.

The excitement started long before that special day, however. It all began when Mother decided what our family needed was a big dictionary. Just like the one that sat on the corner of Miss Crosby’s desk with the Bible.

City to penalize sub-par bus contractors Contractors will be more accountable for work Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

OC Transpo wages are set to be raised over the next four years - and drivers will be allowed to wear golf shirts in summer months.

EMC news - The city is moving towards making OC Transpo contractors more accountable for their work. Thanks to a motion brought forward by Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais last year, the city’s finance and economic development committee approved new rules that enable the city to penalize private firms that don’t deliver on time or to the expected standards. “This is about accountability,” Blais said in a press release. Companies need to be held accountable to the contracts they sign and they can t expect the taxpayer to bail them out when they don t perform. The new plan includes a standardized method of evaluating the work done by contractors hired by the city when a project is outside the expertise of city staff. That way, all city departments will have consistent information about each contractor’s history with the city. But a city report notes that the changes come with a “significant” risk. Suppliers could hike prices as a means to hedge their potential increase in costs if they end up facing a penalty. The city report says the construction industry commonly faces penalties, but may also be offered a financial incentive if projects are completed early. The city’s new strategy doesn’t include the reward component.

OC Transpo contract would boost wages 8.25% over four years Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A tentative agreement between OC Transpo and its union would see wages boosted 8.25 per cent over four years, sick-leave rules loosened and less strict uniform guidelines that would let drivers sport golf shirts in the summer.

Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) local 279 posted details of the tentative contract on its website on April 3. The contract won’t be voted on by ATU local 279 members until April 10, but if the contract is accepted, the city has also agreed to reopen an OC Transpo maintenance garage on Colonnade Road that has more recently been used for

storage after the transit service built a new maintenance garage on Industrial Road. According to a document posted on the local ATU’s website, the union’s bargaining team said the new contract “will improve wages, working conditions and job security for all of ATU 279’s members.” New OC Transpo general manager John Manconi has

Spring Vehicle Service Oil Change & Lubrication 43 Point Vehicle Inspection* Tire Rotation Premounted Summer Tire Installation

recognized there are “many problems” with the way bus operators are currently scheduled, the letter states, and he has pledged to work with a group of OC Transpo workers to develop suggestions on improving work-life balance. Scheduling was one of the sticking points that led to a bitter strike in the winter of 2008 that took buses off the road for 53 days. This is the first time ATU 279’s bargaining unit and the city have reached an agreement before an existing contract expired. At a press conference announcing an agreement had been reached on March 31, ATU 279 president Garry Queale said, “The public can rest easy that when they walk to the bus stop, the bus will be there, not picketers.” Changes to sick leave would let workers take up to six uncertified sick days annu-

ally, and to choose which days don’t have to be certified. Job security is another win highlighted in the bargaining team’s rundown of the changes. The letter states that, “while other municipal unions have has to accept clawbacks to job security language in order to get a contract,” the ATU was able to strengthen provisions against using outside contractors in the tentative agreement. The proposed contract also includes improvements to working conditions and overtime rules for fare inspectors, dispatchers and booking clerks. The four-year agreement would be retroactive to April 1. The union and city reached a temporary contract extension at the end of 2011 as a way to avoid a strike.

Ottawa launches mobile parking payment technology Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Drivers can now pay for on-street parking in Ottawa using their phone or mobile device. On April 5, the city launched Verrus Mobile Technologies’ PayByPhone service in Ottawa, which allows drivers to use a mobile app on a smart phone or mobile device such as a tablet to pay for parking and to extend their parking time remotely. The service can also works by calling a phone number from a cell phone or landline. “The real benefit, of course, is convenience,” said Mayor Jim Watson. For instance, customers can set up a text-message notification to alert them when their parking is about to expire. You can choose whether to extend your paid parking period, or use it as a reminder to move your vehicle. If you are a frequent user of city parking, you may wish to sign up for the service by visiting paybyphone.com and entering your mobile phone number, credit card number and vehicle licence plate. The cost of parking would automatically be charged to the credit card on file after you register. That charge will include a 25-cent service fee. There are also apps available for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry devices. Ottawa is the first city to

incorporate near-field communication (NFC) into its PayByPhone system. If you have a new, NFC-enabled device, you can simply wave your phone near the payment machine’s phone reader to automatically launch the app with the parking location. More people are relying on their mobile devices for dayto-day tasks, said transportation committee chairwoman Marianne Wilkinson, councillor for Kanata North. “Our new service recognizes the shift towards this lifestyle,” Wilkinson said. PayByPhone will also be available in non-gated cityowned parking lots. Over the course of this week, instructions will be placed on the sides of all pay-and-display parking machines across the city. The service is already offered in more than 100 cities around the globe, including Vancouver, Winnipeg and Saskatoon. The mayor noted that Ottawa is the first Canadian city to offer a bilingual version of the PayByPhone service. The city is investing $94,000 to advertise the system, train bylaw staff and upgrade technology systems. Verrus covers the cost of developing the technology itself, said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. She said the city anticipates a five per cent take-up in the first year and there has been no analysis on what the impact could be on revenue from parking fees or fines. The city made $14.4 million from parking fees in 2010: $8.1 million from onstreet spaces and $6.3 million from off-street facilities. The city manages 4,034 paid on-street parking spaces and 2,816 paid off-street parking spaces.

Kanata cadet wins Ontario fencing medal Kanata resident Emma Roberts won a silver medal in the under 15 cadet competition during this month’s Ontario Youth Cadet Fencing Championships. During the competition, held the first week of April at McMaster University, she won a silver medal in the under 15 cadet competition and rounded out the weekend with a bronze medal in the U-19 junior competition - against much older,

more experienced competitors. This caps off her season where she also scored a silver medal in the Under 15 Canadian Championships held earlier this year in Montreal. One result of all her hard work is Emma’s qualification to compete in the 2012 Ontario Summer Games. Attending College Catholique Franco-Ouest, Emma trains at the Kanata Fencing Club every Tuesday

and Friday evening in the Georges Vanier gym. She was recently selected for the coveted Youth Development Team as part of the Quest for Gold program. Emma is part of a fencing family and can often be seen at the Kanata Fencing Club exchanging parry-repostes with her mom, Veronique. Her father, Antony, fenced foil in his younger days but has recently taken up the epee.

OPP sees improvement on Ontario’s roads

EMC news – Impaired driving, lack of occupant restraint, distracted driving and aggressive driving are the Big Four causal factors and high-risk behaviours the OPP targets when patrolling the province’s roads. Most of last year’s Ontario traffic statistic categories show an improvement over 2010, and the OPP will be looking for ways to improve safety on roads, waterways and trails in 2012. Pedestrian deaths were one of the statistics that showed an increase over 2010. The 2011 traffic result highlights include: • A total of 285 people were killed in motor vehicle collisions on roads in OPP jurisdiction in 2011, compared to 328 in 2010 (13.1 per cent decrease). • There were 260 fatal motor vehicle collisions in 2011, compared to 296 in 2010 (12.2 per cent decrease). • Alcohol was a factor in 55 of the 2011 MVC deaths, compared to 78 in 2010 (29.5 per cent decrease). • Lack of occupant restraint was a factor in 71 of the 2011 fatalities, compared to 93 in 2010 (23.7 per cent reduction), while speed and distraction-related fatalities were only down slightly in 2011 from 2010. • The OPP saw an increase

in pedestrian deaths, with 29 pedestrians killed in 2011, compared to 31 in 2010 (38.1 per cent increase). • A total of 22 people died in marine incidents last year on OPP-patrolled waterways, compared to 28 in 2010 (21.4 per cent decrease). • There were 15 snowmobile fatalities in 2011, compared to 25 in 2010 (40 per cent decrease). • A total of 14 off-road vehicle deaths occurred in 2011, compared to 17 in 2010 (17.6 per cent decrease). • The OPP laid a total of 610,390 charges on roads, waterways and trails in 2011, compared to 612, 419 charges in 2010 (0.3 per cent decrease).

“I’m pleased to see a reduction in most of the statistical categories for 2011 but when I look at the big picture, our officers laid more than 1.2 million charges in Ontario over the past two years,” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. “The actions behind each of those charges in some way posed a risk to people’s safety, so there was the potential for fatality and collision numbers to be much higher in every category had our officers not caught up with these people when they did.” Eliminating most of these fatalities is very much within the grasp of motorists, said Lewis, and it’s as simple as paying due attention to and respecting our traffic laws.

Gymnast brings home medals Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club

Megan Kawai has been a rhythmic gymnast since joining a recreational class at the age of four. She became a provincial level gymnast at age eight, and has consistently been one of the top rhythmic gymnasts in Ontario ever since. Now 16 and competing for the first time in the Level 6C category, Megan’s high energy, intricate and entertaining routines won her the gold medal overall, along with golds for her ribbon and choice (rope) routines, and silver for her clubs routine in the First Qualifying Meet for the Ontario Championships, held at Seneca College in Toronto on March 31-April 1. Megan’s experience and leadership are a valuable asset for the gymnasts at the Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club (KRSG) where she practices along with over 20 other provincial level gymnasts. KRSG gymnasts won many more medals at the competition, including overall silver medalists Danica Goodchild, 15, in Level 6B, Haley Miller, 8, in Level 2B, Jessica Luo, 7, in Level 2A, and novice ball duo Haley Miller and Erika Lin, and overall bronze medalists Emma Yau, 7, in Level 1B, Erika Lin, 10, in Level 3A, Sylvia Qi, 11, in Level 4A, and Sarah Manyoki, 14, in Level 5B, with a gold medal for her rope routine. The provincial gymnasts will now prepare for the second qualifying meet in the beginning of May. The gymnasts who finish in the top 60 percent of their category in the two qualifying meets will compete in the Ontario Championships in June.

Mint issues new coins EMC news - The Royal Canadian Mint has announced a new generation of one-dollar and two-dollar circulation coins begins circulating this week. More cost-effective than their predecessors, these new coins retain the common loon and polar bear designs and physical appearance familiar to millions of Canadian consumers and businesses. Existing one-dollar and two-dollar coins remain legal tender and will continue to circulate alongside this new generation of circulation coins. “As an industry leader and innovator focused on delivering the best quality and value to its customers, the mint is pleased to have produced a new generation of one-dollar and two-dollar circulation coins which set new standards in cost-effectiveness, durability and security,” said Ian E. Bennett, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. The new coins will soon appear in general circulation and will be available through daily business transactions across Canada. All previous versions of the one-dollar and two-dollar circulation coins issued since 1987 and 1996, respectively, remain legal tender and will continue to circulate as usual.

At Chartwell, they’re just down the hall There was a time when Ernie knew everyone in the neighbourhood. Running into friends was as easy as taking a morning walk or watering the grass in the early evening. But as the years passed, the neighbourhood began to change. Over time, Ernie’s friends began moving away and life became lonelier. Now at Chartwell, Ernie is part of an active community again. Not only is he making new friends, but he is back to doing the things he’s always enjoyed: a morning coffee with the gang, a game of afternoon cards and shooting pool after dinner. Like your friends just down the hall? We can help.

Councillor McRae seeks tips on green bin use Summer education campaign planned to boost organics recycling Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - As weekly green-bin collection returned last week, new numbers show that Ottawans aren’t recycling much more of their organic waste. It’s the last year for the seasonal switch to weekly green bin collection, as Ottawa prepares to begin collecting household garbage every two weeks, while green bins will be collected each week through-

out the year from now on. But with only 1,714 more tonnes of organics being recycled by Ottawa residents, that change in garbage collection needs to be prefaced by a new educational campaign aimed at encouraging green-bin use, said environmental committee chairwoman Maria McRae. In 2010, 53,349 tonnes of organic waste were collected from Ottawa homes; in 2011, that number rose only slightly to 55,063. The city’s contract with organics recycling facility, Orgaworld, includes payment for 80,000 tonnes – a number the city must strive for to stave off the crippling cost of finding a new landfill, McRae said. “There is obviously a segment of the community that is

not using it at all, or who started using it and stopped,” said McRae, the councillor for River Ward. “I want to see our diversion go up. I strongly believe in our diversion program.” She has been collecting tips and concerns city councillors have heard from constituents and working with city staff to develop ward-specific educational and promotional strategies to get people using their green bins. The key is showing residents that it doesn’t have to be difficult, messy or time-consuming to recycle organics, McRae said. But the city needs to have a better understanding of why some residents choose not to use their green bins at all and what successful green-bin us-

ers do to make it easier for them to recycle organic waste. “I want to give helpful information,” McRae said. “We need people to tell us what they do to make it a success … There’s got to be a way to learn from each other.” Anyone who has green bin tips they would like to share is encouraged to contact their city councillor or McRae’s office directly. McRae said she also wants to work on other ways to make organics recycling easier, such as finding a cost-effective way to provide a second green bin to households that have too much organic waste for the single bin they were provided. Purchasing another bin costs around $35, which might be discouraging some

Environment committee chairwoman Maria McRae wants to boost organics recycling in the city. people from diverting all of their organics, especially leaf and yard waste, McRae said. A pilot project to expand the green bin service into multi-residential and highrise buildings has been underway for over a year. The service has been available to

all single-family homes in the city since organics recycling was launched in 2010. Currently, 42 per cent of household waste is diverted from the landfill through green, blue and black bin recycling. The city’s goal is 60 per cent diversion.

Councillor’s love of space reaches new heights in upcoming trip Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - City council keeps Coun. Maria McRae pretty grounded, but she has another, lesser-known interest that is out of this world. Ever since McRae and her husband, Paul McRae, visited the Kennedy Space Center in 1998, the River Ward councillor has become obsessed with space. She can rhyme off astronauts’ names and accomplishments as readily as she can produce stats on the city’s

waste-collection programs – her pet project as environment committee chairwoman. Her wonderment upon describing the sight of the Apollo 11 capsule at the Smithsonian National Mall rivals that of a young child on Christmas morning. And if she could save up $200,000, strapping on a spacesuit with Virgin Atlantic, which plans to provide commercials spaceflights to the public, would be at the top of her list, McRae said. And now, McRae’s space

obsession has landed her an invite to see the space shuttle Discovery delivered to its new home at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, Va. “I’m going to get to witness this piece of history,” she said. “It’s so cool, it’s tingling.” McRae and other guests, as well as the viewing public, will be on hand on April 17 as a 747 shuttle carrier aircraft with Discovery mounted atop flies 450 metres above various parts of the Washington metropolitan area before

reaching the museum. The artifact is a significant addition to the museum’s holdings. The longest-serving orbiter in NASA’s history, it has spent a total of 365 days in space during 39 flights between 1984 and 2011. It also flew every type of mission, making it the most representative craft of human space flight in the period since 1981, according to the museum’s website. Its final flight was on Feb. 14, 2011, making it the second-last shuttle to fly in space before NASA canceled

its shuttle program (the final flight was made by Atlantis on July 21, 2011). McRae hopes her child-like wonder at space exploration will inspire others to learn more about the research and accomplishments made more than 100 kilometres above the Earth. “I’m in awe that they’ve found a way to escape Earth’s gravity,” McRae said. From big questions like how the solar system originated to why geomagnetic sun storms interfere with GPS navigation, the unique conditions in

space enable researchers to carry out important experiments, McRae said. “It has bound so many countries together for the common good,” McRae added. Discovery is one of the artifacts that represent “how amazing humankind can be,” she added. The Discovery exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center will replace the space shuttle orbiter Enterprise, which was a demonstration shuttle that never actually flew in space.

Farmers market offers last sale at Lansdowne Market will pack up and move to new home at Brewer Park Staff

EMC news - The Ottawa Farmers Market is hosting an early spring indoor market at Lansdowne on April 15 to allow vendors and buyers one last opportunity to visit the

original location before the market moves to Brewer Park for the rest of the season. In a statement, organizers said more than 50 vendors of locally-grown and locallymade food, farm products, arts and crafts will travel from within 100 kilometres of Ottawa to deliver the best of the region. The event is an opportunity for area residents to taste early spring greens as well as local cheese, meat, eggs, and fresh baking. The market will be moving to Brewer Park for the open-

ing of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market’s seventh season on May 6. “Enjoy our full food court while you too say goodbye to the market at Lansdowne Park before the construction begins,” the statement read. 100 vendors

Robin Turner, president of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market Association, said the association has grown from 19 vendors to more than 100 since the market first opened at Lansdowne Park in 2006.

“Our April 15th market is a turning point in the history of both the Ottawa Farmers Market and the community,” said Turner. The market supports the local economy – farmers, chefs, crafts people and entertainers – while providing the public an opportunity to get outside, learn about local food and culture, and to buy the freshest, local products the season has to offer direct from the people who produce it.

Better planning the best way to prevent local traffic snarls City to put $2.5 million into traffic calming measures Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – The best way to calm traffic on neighbourhood streets is to prevent traffic issues in the first place, concluded the city’s transportation committee. The committee met on April 4 to discuss the latest iteration

for plans aimed at deciding the best way to put cash into “traffic calming” measures such as speed bumps when residents raise concerns about speeding on local streets. Last year, city council put localized traffic studies, called area traffic management studies, on hold as it tried to find the best way to deal with a backlog of projects listed for each city neighbourhood, some of which have stayed on the books, uncompleted, since the 1950s and ‘60s. At first, some councillors

wanted to divvy up the money so they could each have control over which small measures get completed in their wards. But council voted down that plan in favour of letting the city’s traffic engineering experts decide what to fix. The transportation committee signed off on $2.5 million in funding to fix localized traffic issues. Area traffic management project manager Bob Streicher said the money will go a long way. “The $2.5 million that has

been provided will make a dramatic difference,” he said. “(It will enable us to) address the projects that we haven’t been able to do.” Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess noted that $2.5 million or even more money still wouldn’t be enough to address all the projects already on the list. “There still isn’t adequate funding to do what we want and what we need to do,” he said. The committee also approved a report outlining how that would be done on April 4, but not before a lengthy procedural discussion about how the small road tweaks should be done. Some councillors, including Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, wanted to wipe the older, irrelevant area traffic management studies off the city’s books so it can move on to more current, urgent projects. He asked Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt to make a motion to that effect on his behalf, because Hubley doesn’t sit on the transportation committee. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clarke agreed with that point. “When I saw the list of projects that were in there and estimated completion at 2071, I thought it might be a little too exhaustive,” he said. “I thought most of that list could be deleted without harming

Traffic calming measures like speed bumps are aimed at getting drivers to quit speeding on local streets. anyone.” Eventually, councillors ended up agreeing on a point made by Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches, who said that the city wouldn’t have so many concerns about local traffic snarls if the road networks in new communities were properly planned to begin with. He used the example of a street in the newer Winding Way neighbourhood in his ward which features a grass median with trees and signs. Desroches said there have been no traffic complaints on that street, and he wondered why similar designs weren’t being used for other new streets.

“I’m not seeing it,” Desroches said. “When are we going to break down the silos in this organization and build these communities with traffic calming in mind?” Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans agreed, noting that some residents have called her to complain about traffic before a new subdivision is even completed. Deans tabled a motion asking transportation staff to talk to the infrastructure and planning group about building traffic calming into new roads. Those roads are often constructed by developers, but still require city oversight and approval.

Trustee Seward vows to fight for schools in upcoming budget Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shirley Seward, public school trustee for River zone, wants the province to strike a good balance between the construction of new schools and the needs of the aging schools, when it sets up its capital priorities. Seward was speaking at a budget consultation meeting on April 3 at Brookfield High to set spending priorities and

identify potential areas of saving within the public school board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking for a balance in our budget this year between the new needs and the needs of the existing schools particularly in the inner city which River zone is part of,â&#x20AC;? said Seward told a group of parents representing schools in River zone. According to Seward, the province was putting more

priority on the building of new schools instead of having that balanced with both new schools and refurbishments to existing schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course in situations of severe overcrowding, we have to build additions or new schools but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t neglect the investments that we have already made in existing schools,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to make sure there are safe environments in

these aging schools.â&#x20AC;? Seward added that the roll out of the full-day kindergarten has added pressures to many schools prompting urgent need for changes and repairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the full-day kindergarten, no school is exempt from capital dollars. I am going to make sure that the schools in my zone are taken care of,â&#x20AC;? Seward said. She hopes the ideas collect-

ed from the budget consultation will help in the development of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is very important that we hear from the community, parents of our students and community organizations about what they feel our priority should be,â&#x20AC;? said Seward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asking parents to tell us where we should focus our funds in a direct way so that we can have an impact on the way children learn, what

they learn, how they learn and also to make sure students have a high level of well being â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they are safe, in a caring environment, that there is no bullying and that they are happy to be students within their schools.â&#x20AC;? The budget proposal is expected to be approved in early June. The overall budget of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board for 2012-13 is about $800 million.

Donate some old soles for needy souls this April Ottawa branch of campaign aiming to collect one million shoes in 10 years Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - When spring cleaning this April, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw out your old pairs of shoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donate them to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needy souls. On Monday, April 2 local businessman Don Robichaud launched the Million Shoe Mission in Ottawa, a lofty campaign through Soles 4 Souls Canada to collect one million pairs of shoes in every province over the next 10 years, a total of 13 million shoes including the territories. The shoes are given to local charities and distributed across the globe to help communities in need. This year, the campaign will take place in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. The national goal is 400,000 pairs of shoes, and Robichaud said he hopes 200,000 will come from the Ottawa-Montreal area. Boxes have been set up across the city at all Local

Heroes restaurant locations, six Dymon Self Storage locations and at city hall. At Local Heroes on Bank Street near Heron Road, Robichaud said the charity accepts all kinds of shoes, from sturdy runners to high heels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to say that people in Haiti need to dress up. So the pumps work, too,â&#x20AC;? Robichaud said. He encouraged all Ottawa residents to do a little spring cleaning and get rid of shoes they no longer wear. Throughout April the shoes will be collected and sorted and then Robichaud will invite local charities to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cherry pickâ&#x20AC;? the shoes they need for their clients. He expects they will take about 10 per cent of the stock. Another 14,000 will be given to Ottawa charity Sole Responsibility to send 7,000 pairs to Somali refugees in Yemen and 7,000 will be sent to Kenya. The rest of the shoes will be shipped to a central warehouse in Nevada where they

will be distributed across the globe. Since 2004, the United States version of the charity has distributed 17 million pairs of shoes and supported countries through dozens of natural disasters, including the Haiti earthquake, the Japan earthquake and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tornados in the U.S. Robichaud began collecting shoes for Soles 4 Souls in Kelowna, B.C. in 2010 as a way to give a local shoe business some exposure in the community. But as the shoes kept coming in, he and business partner Jim Belshaw realized they had something much bigger on their hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think why people have really jumped behind this has to do with the fact that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for any money,â&#x20AC;? Robichaud said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just ask you to do a little spring cleaning, clean out your closet and bring in your shoes.â&#x20AC;? Robichaud pulled in a number of local businesses to get Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign off the ground this April, including Steve Creighton, vice president of Dymon Self Storage. Creighton said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;delightedâ&#x20AC;? to support

shoes for granted,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the world of course many, many people, adults and children, just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that luxury. We hope our facilities are just stuffed to the limits by the end of the program.â&#x20AC;?

Allan Hubley Youth get taste of Ottawa job market Positive Change

Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – About 60 potential employers and agencies set up at the Jim Durell Complex in Ottawa’s south end on April 3 to entice high school and university students looking for some jobs. And the turnout was huge. Nancy Palanuk 17 has been waiting for a moment where she can have direct access to employers and she reckons the fair was a great opportunity for that. “It is pretty exciting. Finally I get the chance to meet with managers and speak to them one on one,” said Palanuk. Many youth like Palanuk from across the city jammed the complex with hopes of meeting employers and hoping to finally land their first job. Palanuk was trying to find a job in retail. “I hope I will meet someone who can hire me. I love retailing,” she said. The fair provides young people between the ages of 16 and 30 with job and career development opportunities. City employment specialist Stephanie Bordage said the fair is an excellent opportunity for youth to network, access information and explore preemployment options. The city has been hosting this fair now in its sixth year since 2007. “It originally started as an employment fair for youth looking for summer jobs but has slowly transformed into an opportunity to connect youth with career and educational providers and career agencies in the community that can provide employment services towards youth,” said Bordage. She added that they have had more than 3,200 youths

Nancy Palanuk, 17, right, chats with Katie Bourada from Ottawa Public Health at the sixth annual youth employment and career fair held on April 3 at Jim Durell Complex. The fair drew about 60 potential employers and agencies. in the past six years that have attended the fair and well over 200 agencies and employers from around the city of Ottawa that have set up booths. Youth unemployment continues to run at high levels in Ottawa, said Bordage. In light of this problem, she said it is important to have such fairs so as to connect young jobseekers with employers and to encourage young people to explore different routes into employment. “It is extremely important,” she said. She noted that youth unemployment is almost twice the unemployment rate of the general population. “We know that youth are certainly looking for jobs and that is the idea of this fair,” said Bordage. “If they are not able to con-

nect with the employer today, they can hopefully get information about employment opportunities and to others this might be their opportunity to get their firs job.” Bordage acknowledged that positive feedback from past fairs is what allows them to organize more of them. “What we hear is that they like the fair and they would like more fairs, more employers and more contacts with the community,” she said. Organizers said they have been adding more booths to the fair every year and that this year saw the highest number of employers and agencies participating. “There is more than 55 agencies that are here serving a variety of employment and youth from all backgrounds,” said Bordage. Potential job seekers were

also encouraged by what they found. “This is good. It makes it easier for us to find job,” said Palanuk. The fair was organized by the Youth Zone Jeunesse in collaboration with several community partners to help promote employment opportunities for youth. “It is the best way to connect with the community and strengthen our ties with various providers so that we can build these opportunities for youth. Youth Zone is geared towards helping youth to find employment, but also offers information and referrals to a variety of organizations that help youth in the fields of housing, legal concerns, recreation, health and child care, that help young people pursue independent living.

(MS) When a person comes to a certain age and the children move out and on with their own lives, a home may become too big for its occupants. At this point, residents may feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to downsize to a smaller home. Downsizing can be exciting and challenging at the same time. Going through and packing belongings can be a trip down memory lane. But chances are a smaller space will mean that a person will have to part with a number of his belongings collected over time. To make the process easier, first assess how much space there will be in the new home. Many times floor plans or room dimensions are available. First measure large items, such as furniture, to be sure it will fit in the rooms. Then think about

storage possibilities. Next, make a running list of what items can be discarded and where those items will go. Some belongings can be donated to charity, while others may be given to family and friends. Many other things could end up in the trash or recycling bins. Knowing where things will go will make them easier to sort. For those doing a major clean-out of the home, it could be efficient to hire a dumpster to be placed on-site. This way, larger bulk items can simply be tossed inside. Some municipalities restrict what can be placed in the regular trash or how much garbage can be collected, so this alleviates the stress of dealing with excess trash. When actually beginning to get rid of things, start with the areas that receive the least amount of use. Belongings stored in the attic or basement may be simply taking up space and hold less sentimental value. People can then work their way toward items that are used on a regular basis. Duplicates of things can be donated. It can be cathartic to clear out clutter and get ready to start anew. Some people find they have to downsize because of financial reasons. In these cases, thinning out belongings can also be a way to earn a few extra bucks. Selling or auctioning off seldom used items may produce a little extra cash that can help finance moving expenses or even bills.

Cancer prevention fundraiser to hit Bells Corners jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A group of people hope to live by the old adage an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure. There will be a dinner at Zolas restaurant in Bells Corners on May 9 to raise money for an organization called Prevent Cancer Now that works to raise awareness about lifestyle changes that could prevent cancer. Jake Cole, a retired civil servant and former federal candidate for the Green Party, said that he learned about Prevent Cancer Now during a conference in 2007. “There are so many well-

Real Estate Business Law Wills & Estates Environmental Law

meaning people out there who participate in walks and runs,” he said. “But I think we are ignoring the simpler solution; that so much of what we can change will prevent cancer.” The simplest changes, Cole said, start on a personal level with diet, things like cutting out meat and dairy and replacing them with raw vegetables and greens. “Right now you have about a 50/50 chance of getting cancer,” he said. “We need to change those odds ... One in four ultimately die from the disease,” he said. “Those are not encouraging odds.” The dinner at Zola’s will take place May 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The cost is $50 and

will include, dinner, a presentation on cancer prevention and a silent auction. Cole said that he is still accepting items for the silent auction and hopes to use the money raised from the dinner to get the material out to the public and raise awareness about cancer prevention. Cole said Zola’s was selected because of its healthy food and gluten-free menu options. The meal will consist of fresh fish, choice of vegetables, salad or soup and a dessert. Reservations can be made by calling the restaurant at 613-7210227. For more information on the organization contact infor@preventcancernow.ca.

Barrhaven woman recovers from double lung transplant Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

EMC news - Barrhaven resident Hélène Campbell, who became known for advocacy around organ donor programs, is recovering from a double lung transplant. The 20-year-old was diagnosed with a degenerative lung disease last July. By October, her lung function had been reduced to 24 per cent. Despite being tethered to an oxygen tank, the plucky, would-be film student maintained a positive attitude, enlisting the support of popstar Justin Beiber through a Twitter campaign and appearing on an episode of Ellen via Skype. “It’s so easy and it saves lives,” Campbell said earlier

name has become synonymous with the campaign to garner more organ donors. “It’s gotten to the point where her name is well known in the legislature,” MacLeod said. Ontario residents can become donors through beadonor.ca. The Campbell family issued a public statement thanking the staff at the Toronto General Hospital for their “dedication and exceptional care.” “We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the donor’s family who made the organ donation so that Hélène could live,” the statement reads. “We are grateful to you for your generosity. Hélène will, as we will, honour and care for your gift forever.”

Michael Quinn has been busy this month with his tractor preparing plots for interested gardeners. Quinn is turning a four-acre piece of land on Earl Armstrong Road just east of Bowesville Road into a community garden.

EMC news – Riverside South and Findlay Creek residents with limited space of their own to plant vegetables should look no further than their community garden. Michael Quinn, a resident of Riverside South has been thinking of planting a garden this summer, but didn’t really have enough space in his yard and was also concerned about growing his vegetables so close to the road. Quinn has now leased a four acres property on Earl of Armstrong Road, just east of Bowesville Road to use as a community garden. The property has room for

between 80 and 90 plots for interested gardeners. “It got me thinking about how may other people might have the same concerns, and I knew that the land at my parents would be perfect for gardening, and it is so close to both Riverside South and Findley Creek,” he said. Besides meeting fellow residents with gardening interests, Quinn said the garden provides residents with an opportunity to get out into the sunshine and meet your neighbours. He said he is trying to create an organic garden and use no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. “I saw there was a service

to provide the local residence and took a chance,” said Quinn. “So far response has been really good.” Quinn is currently working on preparing plots for those interested to begin planting by end of April. This is the first time that Quinn is trying out something like this. “The last few years I have been thinking about gardening, but the space was an issue,” he said. Quinn said he’s been trying to eat a little healthier, so he thought fresh garden vegetables would be a good way to help him stick with the healthy diet. “As far as gardening goes I am trying it out, I am sure I will enjoy it, especially eating my produce,” said Quinn. “Community gardening is a great service that I think will increase in demand every year.” He said he would like to use the land for community gardens as long as it is available. Quinn said he is charging a small fee for those interested in having plots to help maintain the land, create a garden shed and pay for water access. “I am very excited about the project. Things are progressing really well,” said Quinn. He said he is also working on getting the irrigation system in place, and building some garden shed. Quinn hopes the initiative will help neighbours meet new people and make a lot of friends. “Gardening is a great way to enjoy the nice weather, while producing your own locally grown produce, and giving you the ability to control what your vegetables have been grown,” said Quinn. He hopes to have the garden open to the community until fall. For more information contact RS.Garden.Co@gmail. com or call 613-822-3079.

Comedy show to benefit firefighters association Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A trio of comedians will hit the stage at the Nepean Sportsplex on April 14 to benefit the children and seniors. Mark Walker, Paul Haywood and Nile Seguin will be performing two shows on April 14 starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 each and will go to benefit the Ottawa Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund, which supports local charities in the community that help children and the el-

derly. Don Courts, who will be touring with the comedy shows to benefit police and firefighter associations across the country, said the event is always a success. “The idea actually came from the police officer association and the firefighters saw how successful it was and jumped on board,” Courts said. Courts, who is retired from the board of the Toronto Police Association said organizing the shows gives him something to do and helps

him to give back to the community. Courts said the Sportsplex is a good venue because it seats about 500 – shows have mostly sold out in the past. Walker hails from Truro, N.S., and has been headlining at comedy clubs since 1988. He has performed at Just For Laugh’s Comedy Festival in Montreal, the Halifax Comedy Festival and the Cape Town Comedy Festival in South Africa. Paul Haywood has been on the Comedy Network with Open Mic with Mike

Bullard, Club 54 and Elvira Kurt’s Adventures in Comedy. The Scarborough, Ont., native has also been on several radio shows and headlined across Canada. Nile Seguin has been to the Just for Laughs Festival twice as well as the Winnipeg Comedy Festival. He has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes and The Hour. “It’s going to be a really good show,” Courts said. Tickets can be purchased at www.iMarktickets.com or at the doors one hour before the show.

War Amps vets honoured on Vimy 95th anniversary

EMC news - On April 1, young members of the War Amps Operation Legacy gathered at the National Military Cemetery at Beechwood in Ottawa to commemorate the 95th anniversary of Vimy Ridge, one of the most important battles of the First World War and considered by many to be the battle that marked Canada’s birth as a nation. The event brought a unique perspective to the commemoration, as Operation Legacy honoured War Amps members who fought at Vimy Ridge – some of whom lost their limbs during the battle. One such amputee was Ethelbert “Curley” Christian, who lost both his arms and legs at Vimy Ridge, and was the only quadruple amputee believed to have survived the First World War. Operation Legacy is a group of committed members of the War Amps Child Amputee Program (CHAMP),

dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage. Despite not having experienced war firsthand, they know what it is like to live without a limb; a bond they share with war amputee veterans and will continue to pass on the message of remembrance long into the future. To mark this anniversary, the War Amps is also re-releasing its internationally award-winning documentary A Vimy Veteran Remembers, which features late war amputee veteran Perce Lemmon. This documentary can be purchased at a cost recovery price of $11 by calling tollfree 1-800-250-3030 or visiting waramps.ca.

Kitchen table talk discusses healthy food in Ottawa schools U of O and Just Food program discusses kids’ community gardens Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - About 15 people took part in a kitchen table talk at Credible Edibles in Hintonburg on April 4 as part of a grassroots initiative to bring healthier foods into Ottawa schools. Food for All is a community-based project led by Just Food and the University of Ottawa. It was made possible by a three-year funding grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and proposes to develop a city where the entire community creates an awareness of the impact of food choices in children and youth. Participants involved in raising awareness in healthy food, like teachers, scientists

and members of school parent councils, came together to brainstorm ideas for the initiative. “One of the things I’m very proud of at Devonshire is how involved we are in the community and the excitement teachers have for getting students involved and having a community garden,” said Sarah Sorensen, who’s part of the parent council at Devonshire Public School. Those involved in the kitchen table talk discussed the idea of starting a community garden in schools so children become more aware of healthy eating and where their food comes from. Stephen Skoutajan, a teacher at Devonshire, talked about the benefits Devonshire derives from its own community garden. “Kids are getting involved in local issues,” he said. “I know kids enjoy eating the healthy food they make in garden or food we purchase form local organic farms. It’s about getting kids involved in being engaged with communities and eating healthy.” Allegra Newman, who led the talk, said she has a child who enjoys the garden the family has at home and she can see how children genuinely enjoy working in a garden.

“I have a small child who loves to be in the garden,” Newman said. “She picks up vegetables from the backyard and it’s phenomenal. You can see that magic.” David Farley, a teacher at Fisher Park Public School, said it’s important to put pressure on the board to get more community gardens at schools. “Having a critical mass opens so many doors,” Farley said, adding it’s important for schools to communicate with each other about the benefits of community gardens. “If we can build that critical mass and be a part of it, perhaps more administrators will jump on board.” Newman said the challenges and ideas participants discussed at the meeting will go back to the Food for All Project. Just Food’s mission is to work towards a vibrant, just and sustainable food system in the Ottawa region, by promoting a view of food as key to human identity and community and that advocates localized food systems as key to achieving environmental sustainability and social justice.

Ottawa Little Theatre hosts festival Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - This spring, Ottawa theatre goers had the opportunity to be cast back in time to New Orleans in the 1940s, experience the life of a struggling actor and question the meaning of life when the Ottawa Little Theatre played host to five plays in five days. The Ottawa Little Theatre, along with four other eastern Ontario theatre companies, is participating in the Eastern Ontario Drama League 2012 Spring Festival which started on April 10 at the Ottawa Little Theatre in Lowertown and wraps up with an awards brunch on April 15 at The Marriott Inn on Laurier Avenue. Organizer Jane Morris said

the festival features four fulllength productions from the Domino Theatre in Kingston, Prince Edward Community Theatre in Picton, Peterborough’s Theatre Guild and The Bay of Quinte Community Players along with the Ottawa Little Theatre’s own production, Self-Help, which was held over for a day to kick off the festival. “Cheer on exhilarating theatre ranging from the iconic 20th century classic A Streetcar Named Desire to a hit dramedy Educating Rita,” Morris said. “Five plays in five days.” Having attended festivals like this one in the past, Morris said the sets for each of the plays are amazing, which is a task in itself.

“All the productions have to have sets which will transport to whereever the festival is being held, which makes for a really interesting festival,” Morris said. The drama league was established in 1933 and represents 28 community theatre groups from Haliburton to Cornwall. The organization holds two festivals each year for the theatre community, the spring festival and the One-Act Festival, which was also held in Ottawa this year. The festival also features an awards ceremony, with 16 different honours given out at a brunch on the last day of the festival, where one theatre company will take home the top prize for best production.

The winner will take its play to the province-wide Theatre Ontario Festival this May in Sault St. Marie. An adjudicator will attend all the plays and offer professional critiques after each production and help choose who receives what awards. Ottawa-based theatre director John P. Kelly will be the adjudicator this year for the festival. Morris said it is purely coincidental, but with Kelly’s long history in the theatre world, the productions will likely appreciate any critiques he has to offer. The award ceremony will be held on April 15 at the Marriott Inn at 161 Laurier Ave. Tickets for the festival are

Better planning the best way to prevent local traffic snarls City to put $2.5 million into traffic calming measures laura.mueller@metroland.com

such as speed bumps when residents raise concerns about speeding on local streets. Last year, city council put localized traffic studies, called area traffic management studies, on hold as it tried to find the best way to deal with a backlog of projects listed for each city neighbourhood, some of which have stayed on the books, uncompleted, since the 1950s and ‘60s.

At first, some councillors wanted to divvy up the money so they could each have control over which small measures get completed in their wards. But council voted down that plan in favour of letting the city’s traffic engineering experts decide what to fix. The transportation committee signed off on $2.5 million in funding to fix localized traffic issues. Area traffic management

Sounds and Tastes of the Americas

project manager Bob Streicher said the money will go a long way. “The $2.5 million that has been provided will make a dramatic difference,” he said. “(It will enable us to) address the projects that we haven’t been able to do.” Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess noted that $2.5 million or even more money still wouldn’t be enough to address all the projects already on the list. “There still isn’t adequate funding to do what we want and what we need to do,” he said. The committee also approved a report outlining how that would be done on April 4, but not before a lengthy procedural discussion about how the small road tweaks should be done.

Some councillors, including Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, wanted to wipe the older, irrelevant area traffic management studies off the city’s books so it can move on to more current, urgent projects. He asked Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt to make a motion to that effect on his behalf, because Hubley doesn’t sit on the transportation committee. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clarke agreed with that point. “When I saw the list of projects that were in there and estimated completion at 2071, I thought it might be a little too exhaustive,” he said. “I thought most of that list could be deleted without harming anyone.” Eventually, councillors

ended up agreeing on a point made by Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches, who said that the city wouldn’t have so many concerns about local traffic snarls if the road networks in new communities were properly planned to begin with. He used the example of a street in the newer Winding Way neighbourhood in his ward which features a grass median with trees and signs. Desroches said there have been no traffic complaints on that street, and he wondered why similar designs weren’t being used for other new streets. “I’m not seeing it,” Desroches said. “When are we going to break down the silos in this organization and build these communities with traffic calming in mind?” Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans agreed, noting that some residents have called her to complain about traffic before a new subdivision is even completed. Deans tabled a motion asking transportation staff to talk to the infrastructure and planning group about building traffic calming into new roads. Those roads are often constructed by developers, but still require city oversight and approval.

Quit Your Job, says Hintonburg artist Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Patrick John Mills thinks artists have a lot of courage and he wants to celebrate that courageousness this month by having the work of full-time artists on display at his gallery in Hintonburg as part of an exhibit called Quit Your Job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This show is excellent. The quality of it is off the charts,â&#x20AC;? said Mills, owner of the Patrick John Mills Contemporary Fine Art Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best of the best.â&#x20AC;? Mills said he got the idea while brainstorming titles of upcoming exhibits at the gallery. With springtime here, Mills wanted a show that focused on new beginnings and starting fresh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With spring here, people want to make a life-changing decision,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the idea of Quit Your Job seemed to just jump into his head. Mills said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a working, full-time artist pretty much his entire working life. During a brief stint working with autistic adults, he sold a bunch of his paintings to a fellow staff member and decided to pursue a career in the arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never went back,â&#x20AC;? Mills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the last 20 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tempted myself with a steady paycheck.â&#x20AC;? However, he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to recognize the hard work ethic and dedication that artists must have before deciding to

quit their job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because you can put toast in a toaster, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you can call yourself a chef,â&#x20AC;? Mills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you brush and floss your teeth, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a dentist. If you put on a band aid, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a surgeon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; these days is kind of abused.â&#x20AC;? He said the message heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aiming to get out in Quit Your Job is to acknowledge that the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means a lot and people should value the hard work that goes into creating art. Mills said becoming a professional artist requires a lifetime commitment and the ability to spend hours a week focusing on your work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyone cannot be an artist, but I think it really comes down to persistence, perseverance and hard work,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a life commitment and a path that involves so much.â&#x20AC;? He has also sought to expand his gallery to welcome other forms of art, including dance. As part of the Quit Your Job exhibit, Mills said he will have dancers on the last Friday of the month performing the theme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be dealing with how artists are undermined and the desire for people to quit their job,â&#x20AC;? Mills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on skid row, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been broke as hell and the first 10 years were horrific as hell for me. But I kept painting through it.â&#x20AC;? For more information visit patrickjohnmills.ca.

Westboro resident directing upcoming opera Pelligrini Opera presents Verdi’s La Traviata Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - When Maria Pellegrini was only five years-old, she didn’t want to play regular games with her friends, she wanted to play theatre. “When I was five or six years old, I said I’m going to be on the stage, be a prima donna and sing,” Pellegrini recalls with a smile. “I’d go up on a chair and say I’m not singing unless you pay me.” She said her parents worked very hard to provide a good life for her, but neither were into opera or the arts. “I think it came from God. My mother and father never saw an opera,” she said, adding her father’s first opera experience was a production featuring his daughter. “He came to the dressing room and he said ‘Maria, I liked it, but tell me something – where did you learn all of that? I never let you out of the house.’ ” Pellegrini continued through life pursuing her passion for opera and nine years ago, she started up her own opera company in Ottawa called Pellegrini Opera and on April 20 and 21, she will present Giuseppe Verdi’s La

Traviata at Dominion Chalmers United Church on Cooper Street. While she said the show would normally cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce, the upcoming Ottawa show will impress audiences with its talented artists. “The girls will bring their own evening gowns, and the men will have tuxedos,” Pellegrini said. “Everything will be beautiful. There’s not big scenery, but the singing and acting will be phenomenal.”

Everything will be beautiful. There’s not big scenery, but the singing and acting will be phenomenal. MARIA PELLIGRINI

She said it’s important for audiences in Ottawa to see an opera, especially since there is no official opera house in the city. She said she often gets positive feedback from her audiences, who say the atmosphere was “cozy and intimate.” “Some people love it, and they always come back,” said

Pellegrini. “I’ve been promoting it to people who can’t afford to go to New York and there’s people here in Ottawa who’ve never seen a concert. I want to promote opera to everybody so they can learn what it’s all about.” Finding the perfect venue can sometimes be a challenge, she said. Pellegrini will often use church spaces to house her performances and said Dominion Chalmers is one of the best spaces she has used in the city. “It has good acoustics, but other churches are not suitable because there’s too much echo, or the chairs are too low,” Pellegrini said. “My dream is to buy an old church and turn it into an opera house, even if it’s not very big. But it’s only a dream.” Since starting her opera company, she also said there’s been quite a following of supporters – including the Taiwanese community. Pellegrini said La Traviata’s music director, D. Kai Ma, will act as conductor while also playing the piano for the show. The artist has attracted the Taiwanese community and

Westboro resident Maria Pellegrini heads Pellegrini Opera and is the artistic director the company’s upcoming show, La Traviata, which is taking place as Dominion Chalmers United Church on Cooper Street April 20 and 21, starting at 7:30 p.m. Pellegrini said he’s one of the many talents audiences will see at the show. “He’s a great talent,” she said. “A lot of great musicians can play the piano and conduct, and he’s one of them.” Pellegrini said she’s been reaching out to other parts of the Ottawa community

to bring them opera and she said she hopes to attract audience members from all backgrounds. “When they come, they love it,” she said. “My dream is for them to come and see what it’s all about. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to come back again. But the

music is beautiful, and (audiences) will love it.” The show will take place on April 20 and 21, starting at 7:30 p.m. both nights. For more information on the upcoming production or to purchase tickets for the show, visit Pellegrini Opera’s website pellegriniopera.org.

The fun and flavour chain By Howaida Sorour

It’s a growing trend, with seven Hockey Sushi outlets in Ontario – an eclectic mix of Asian cuisines and western tastes. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with elements of Asian accessories adding accents to an otherwise Canadian décor complete with a wide screen TV. Well-spaced tables and diffuse lighting make for a pleasant dinning experience. Although there is a printed menu, there’s also an order sheet at every table, which patrons fill out as soon as they’re seated. The service is fast and friendly and there’s even an all-you-can-eat Sushi bar. The food is good. To start, the lamb and

chicken skewer appetizers are heavenly – tender lamb bits delicately flavoured with just a hint of caraway; the chicken salty, smoky and neatly gathered on a tiny stick. For the next course try the Tempura it may well be the best in the city, light, crisp with not a hint of grease. Enclosing a single shrimp the tempura at Hockey Sushi, adds explosive texture without interfering with the crustacean’s elusive flavour, and the vegetarian selection compliments the distinctive savor of eggplant and sweet potato. Their Maki rolls are a playful combination of traditional Japan and western sensibilities, ranging from avocado and cream cheese to masago, cucumber and shrimp in vivid color and artful visual textures. They even serve salmon and tuna sushi, both delicious and

available along with miso soup, Spring Rolls, Chicken Nuggets and Spicy Seafood Udon! The food presentation is more of the same with threads of bright orange carrot nestled on frills of lettuce or bright pink ginger cuddled up to corrugated mounds of wasabe. Desserts are mostly ice cream, ranging from Green Tea ice cream to good ole’ strawberry; on the other hand it is definitely worth asking about their Special Dessert– on Saturday it was mango mousse cake – mm hmm! While the food is mostly Japanese inspired, the ambience at Hockey Sushi is an intriguing cultural blend with something for everyone. For the Kanata family on the go, there is even take-out and delivery.

R0011346095

EMC news - Two young cancer patients presented Gov. Gen David Johnston with bouquets of daffodils at Rideau Hall on April 3 to mark the beginning of the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual fundraising campaign. Alyssa Shouldice, 6, and Cole Neville, 7, visited the greenhouses at the Governor General’s official residence with their families, presenting the bouquets Johnston and his wife Sharon to launch Daffodil Month. Cancer Society president Peter Goodhand used the oc-

casion to encourage all Canadians to participate. “I am honoured to be here with Alyssa and Cole and their families,” Goodhand said. “The good news is over 60 per cent of people diagnosed with cancer will survive, but that is not good enough.” Both Alyssa and Cole were diagnosed with rare cancers in 2010 and have spent much of their lives since fighting the odds and fighting their disease. Cole, a shy, truck-loving boy was declared cancer-free in July 2011. Alyssa is still in treatment, but is back at school and will

Both children had time to sit with the Johnstons and discuss a favourite subject, their dogs. The Cancer Society uses the month-long campaign to raise cancer awareness with the volunteers raising money through the sale of yellow daffodil pins as well as the flowers themselves. “We want to create a movement across Canada and see thousands of Canadians

wearing the daffodil pin,” Goodhand said. “United by the daffodil, we will show people living with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone, and we won’t give up until all forms of the disease are defeated.” April 27 has been identified as Daffodil Day by the society. It is used to mark all the work accomplished throughout the month and offers Ca-

nadians a day to reflect on the impact the disease has on the country. “We encourage Canadians to do something special on Daffodil Day for those living with cancer or to contribute in some way to the fight against cancer,” Goodhand said.

THIRD SECTION

The transition to full-day kindergarten Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news – Its 7:05 a.m. at Fallingbrook Community Elementary School, and the first kindergarten students are being dropped off for the day, their Spiderman backpacks filled with snacks and spare clothes. Some of them will stay until almost 6 p.m., with the combination of the third-party daycare on site and the fullday kindergarten program launched in September. Darlene Glover was one of the parents who dropped off her children, Logan, 7, and Parker, 4, at the onsite daycare before school started. Parker is part of the first full-day kindergarten class at the school, but happily attended the daycare for two months before he started school. “It makes it easier at the end of the day,” said Glover, who said she knows that the daycare staff are talking to Parker’s teachers during the transition to his classroom, with the doors only metres apart. It was a long day to start the school year with, for the many three-year-olds that were part of Debbie Finlay-Parent’s junior kindergarten class in September. Finlay-Parent also teaches with an early childhood educator (ECE) every day, Kayleen Lapointe. The students in her class all turned four-years-old starting by last July, meaning the majority were still only threeyears-old for their first days of school. Finlay-Parent, known as Miss Debbie to her kids, has been teaching at Fallingbrook

for 20 years and lives walking distance away; her daughter now teaches at the school and her grandchildren are students. “It’s a big jump in,” she admitted, of the students who come to her with a “big range of base of knowledge.” Some parents choose to send their children half days to start, to ease them into fullday, every day, but the majority of the other students are together full days. “Even though the day is longer, it’s a lot more broken up,” Finlay-Parent said. “There’s time for the questions, time for the children to get involved.” The day is broken up with French, computer time, gym time, a quiet period, outdoor play and two “nutritional breaks” that are part of the new balanced day model, that means students eat two small meals a day, instead of one in the middle of the day. But along with the full-day program came a new curriculum, which is still a draft version. “The schedule is very complicated,” Finlay-Parent said. “The curriculum is very broad. It covers all the subjects, but how you go about doing it is different.” The curriculum says that learning has to be inquiry based, meaning the children indicate what they want to learn about, whether it’s trains or outer space. It mandates the children must have two one-hour uninterrupted play times. In Finlay-Parent’s class, this indicates time students have to go to the variety of stations she has set up.

A junior kindergarten student at Fallingbrook Community Elementary School, where they are in the first year of the full-day kindergarten program. The program is in the second year of a five year implementation. Some of the children elect to go make “puffy bunnies” (painting a bunny cutout with a mix of shaving cream and white glue) before switching over to the painting station, while others are happy playing with blocks for the majority of the time. The bunny station was a favourite for four-year old

Jolie. “I want to stay here forever,” she said with a big smile. The new format means they aren’t assigned stations to start at, except for the start of the day, when several go to the journal station for about 15 minutes, and then feed into play time. It’s meant to encourage

self-directed learning and independent problem-solving and decision making. When students Danica and Miah come to tell Miss Debbie there is only one toy that both of them want to use during play time, she instructs them to work it out between them. Seconds later, they’ve found a solution by themselves. Teachers are asked to then evaluate activities based on each individual child through the same activities, helping one work more on gross motor skills, another on sharing. But the teachers and the classrooms are stretched fairly thin, even with the ECE assigned to the classroom. “Our class sizes are huge,” Finlay-Parent said. It’s doesn’t matter much at the several times throughout the day the students yell “group hug” and run to surround a visitor, but it can mean a tight squeeze on classroom space. With the half-day program, students used to show up after lunch, or leave right before. Now, feeding 25 four-yearolds at once leads to some bottlenecking at bathroom time. It’s not uncommon to see one of the students run across the hall to the next kindergarten class to use the washroom, when the one in their class is busy. Fallingbrook was chosen as one of the schools to implement the full-day program in year two because they could accommodate all the children without capital expenses, said principal Denise Norris. “Students have managed very well,” she said. “I think full day learning is really supposed to provide play-based

learning, but not all children are ready for that. Younger children might have a bit more difficulty.” Norris emphasized that the full-day program isn’t a pilot project, it’s simply in year two. Fallingbrook heard from schools that implemented it in year one, and will pass on their experience to the schools

“There’s time for the questions, time for the children to get involved.” Debbie Finlay-Parent

who implement it in years three, four and five. “We have to keep adjusting to the needs of the kids,” Norris said. “We need to be patient, innovative, flexible.” It’s a change for some teachers, who have spent years teaching a more formalized curriculum. “With full day, we need to change our teaching,” Norris said. “And it’ll change their learning.” The curriculum wasn’t the only shocking change for veteran teachers. Used to teaching solo in their classroom, with the occasional aid of a parent-volunteer, they now work closely with the ECE every day. Lapointe came from a daycare background with smaller student-teacher ratios, and had to adjust to the times of the day where she’s responsible for the entire class. See CHANGES on page 66

Changes to the curriculum under full-day model Continued from page 65

It’s also an adjustment for both halves of the teaching staff to co-teaching, developing day plans and learning units together as a pair. The ECE educational background is different, focusing on the very youngest in the school system, instead of the wider primary years studied by teachers. It means during gym class, the teacher might ask Lapointe what will help the tiny four-year olds best improve their gross-motor skills, knowing she brings a different skill set. Lapointe is fortunate to have a good schedule, a result of working in a full day classroom with a third party daycare. In the extended day program being implemented at other schools with full-day kindergarten programs, the same ECEs who teach in the classroom provide before and after-school care in a boardrun program. Lapointe’s not the only ECE that many of the kids will work with, with the daycare staff next door to the kindergarten class all ECE certified. SEAMLESS DAY

The classroom and daycare ECEs have different days. The daycare ECEs arrive early, break mid-day, and return

again in time to make snack and be prepared for the end of the school day. As the school day ends, the children who attend the daycare – 100 in total, but 30 in kindergarten – head to the daycare door to anxiously hear what snack is going to be. That day, it’s cucumber and cream cheese wheels; the craft is bunny ears for the upcoming Easter weekend. The atmosphere has changed from the classroom, as the staff count the number of children in each room to make sure that their ratios are in tact. The daycare, run through Global Child Services, a nonprofit, falls under the Day Nurseries Act, which means the children have to be in a specific low-ratio bracket. It also means that one student, feeling a bit ill, can have his temperature taken, something the school isn’t allowed to do. It’s confirmed that he’s got a fever, and parents are called. This is a different system than other schools are using with the extended day program, run through the board. The extended day program is more of an extension of the classroom, with the same rooms and ECEs usually being used. At Fallingbrook, they use a third-party daycare, which falls under the Day Nurseries Act and is administered by Global Child Care Services, unlike the

board run extended day before and after care. The principal is left to administrate the before and after school care when the program is run by the board. Fallingbrook parents are happy with the system they use, and have strongly advocated for the benefits of Global Child Care Services at the school to the board. “The board should focus on education,” said Glover, about the difference if her sons were put in an extended day program. “(The daycare) is a different way of interacting with children that’s different from the classroom.” The daycare program is also open Monday to Friday year-round, closed only on statutory holidays. It means parents aren’t left scrambling to find different arrangements with different people on March break or come summer time for their children. Fallingbrook was built to have a daycare, with the original plans having a parent-run daycare facility on site. Global Child Services began running services over 10 years ago, and has become a part of the school that parents have strongly embraced. Audrey Richards, daycare director, is the community representative on the school council, and was ecstatic that the full-day kindergarten hasn’t eliminated Global from their place in the school in favour of

We’re really thrilled it’s come to this for our families.” Global has received confirmation they would be back

for the 2012-13 school year, meaning they can keep creating what they refer to as the “seamless day” for the quarter of the students that come through the daycare as part of their time at the school. Part way through the day, Richards popped by Finlay-

Parent’s classroom, a common back and forth that goes on for the two educators, and various others at the school. “It’s always been a partnership,” Norris said. “We really are proud of the fact we call ourselves a community school.”

Sensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Karlsson at forefront of Norris debate By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoyed a front-row seat during this season for the ages. And Senators goaltender Craig Anderson minces no words when he talks about the massive impact Erik Karlssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many talents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fully unleashed in a system that emphasizes speed above all else â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have had during Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising run to a berth in the Stanley Cup playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been outstanding for us,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said of a blueliner who has emerged as a serious contender for the James Norris Trophy, awarded annually to the National Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defenceman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the ice, he makes things happen.â&#x20AC;? No defenceman in the league owns a more impressive set of statistics than the 21-year-old Swede, a ďŹ rst-round pick by the Senators (15th overall) in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Heading into the ďŹ nal two games of the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season, his 77 points (19 goals, 58 assists) were tops among all NHL blueliners and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a race â&#x20AC;&#x201D; next in line, both with 52 as of a week ago, were Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins and Brian Campbell of the Florida Panthers. Only three other defencemen in league

Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson led all NHL blueliners in scoring by a wide margin. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a top contender for the Norris Trophy as the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defencemen (Photo by Eliot J. Schechter/NHLI via Getty Images)

history have held a margin of at least 20 points over their nearest pursuer in a given season. All of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bobby Orr, Paul Coffey and Denis Potvin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are Hockey Hall of Famers. Through play last Wednesday, you also would have found Karlssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name atop the leaderboard among NHL blueliners in shots (252),

even-strength points (49), goals (16) and assists (33). He also rates second in power-play points (28) and ďŹ ve of his goals have been game winners. Proving that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all offence, the native of Landsbro, Sweden, tops all league blueliners in takeaways (64). But Karlssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value to the Senators goes way

They are opening the post-season on the road, with Games 3, 4 and a potential Game 6 all slated to be played at Scotiabank Place.

beyond the numbers. Anderson, for one, will tell you there is no defenceman in the NHL who means more to his team in terms of its success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be where we are right now without him,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hands down, he is one of the main reasons why we sit where we sit (in a playoff position). I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that for any other defenceman in the league right now, that their team is so dependent on one player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not that we rely on just one player but in the grand scheme of things, he is our Sidney Crosby or whatever you want to call him for our team.â&#x20AC;? Karlsson hears this kind of praise and is clearly ďŹ&#x201A;attered by it all. But with a straight face, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you that there is only one statistic he concerns himself with in every game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the two points the Senators get for a win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy

that people appreciate what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing and liking what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing out on the ice,â&#x20AC;? said Karlsson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I like that people are noticing this team is a good team ... I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing pretty consistently all year long.â&#x20AC;? He has also proven to be a perfect ďŹ t for the style of play head coach Paul MacLean has gotten his team to embrace since the start of his ďŹ rst season behind the Ottawa bench. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going fast,â&#x20AC;? as MacLean likes to put it, ďŹ ts right into Karlssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheelhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way the game is played now, you have to have a lot of speed,â&#x20AC;? said Karlsson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you also have to have a lot of creativity, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be able to create opportunities for yourself. All the teams (in the NHL) play pretty solid defence and (MacLean) came in with that philosophy, that we needed to generate a lot of speed and create a lot of opportunities and not just sit back and hope the other team makes mistakes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working pretty well for us.â&#x20AC;? Lest you think Karlsson is all about offence, Anderson points toward his plusminus rating, which stood at +19 with two games to go â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a huge jump from the -30 he sported a year ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly impressive given that the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal differential as a team is currently +13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Karl, look at his plus-minus,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around +20 and Chara is around +35 and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the best team in the league for goal differential. And we have a +13 differential as a team and (Karlsson) is about +20. Right there, that shows you heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competitor both offensively and defensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in his game is that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two-way player. If he makes a mistake, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ rst guy back and he makes a big play defensively.â&#x20AC;? R0011347004_0412

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North

NOISE BY-LAW AMENDMENT MEETING Consideration is being given to amending the noise by-law to make tenants or lessees responsible if they generate noise that disturbs others. A public meeting on the proposed change is being held on Tuesday, April 24th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall. You can also send your comments to Christine.Hartig@ottawa.ca by May 2nd. SOLES 4 SOURCE Donald Robichaud, along with Local Heroes and Dymon Storage, are spearheading a campaign throughout April to collect gently worn shoes for Soles4Souls to raise 200,000 pairs of shoes in Ottawa. These can be dropped off at the sponsors (Dymon is next to Canadian Tire in Kanata North) or City Hall. The donated shoes will be distributed to local social agencies that help some of the city’s most vulnerable adults and children. Any remaining shoes will be shipped by Soles4Souls to needy locations around the world. EMERALD ASH TREE REMOVAL & MEETING City foresters have been removing ash trees in Kanata and other parts of Ottawa that are infested with the emerald ash borer (EAB). Since 2008, this invasive insect has been spreading across Ottawa, killing ash trees. The presence of EAB poses a serious threat to 25% of the City’s forest cover on both public and private properties. This will greatly impact our communities. To provide more information about the infestation and what to do to control the spread of the EAB, two information sessions are being held from 4 – 8 pm, on April 12th at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr. and April 23 at Jim Durrell complex, 1264 Walkley Rd. NOTES OF INTEREST A 4-year contract has been negotiated with the Union representing bus-drivers and mechanics. This will be voted on by union members and the Transit Commission later this month.

Genocide victims honoured 18 years after Rwandan High Commissioner to Canada Edda Mukabagwiza, second left, led the solidarity walk in memory of the victims of the Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda. The genocide, one of the most devastating massacres in recent decades, is estimated to have killed 800,000 people in just 100 days. About 200 people including survivors marched from Parliament Hill to Ottawa City Hall on April 7.

RECREATION COMPLEX HOT TUB A number of residents have asked whether a hot tub will be located in the new recreation complex. Although agreement had been reached during the design stage for a swirl pool rather than a separate hot tub, I looked into this request to see if it could be included. I found that there is a greater use for a swirl pool and people I spoke with, who have used them, prefer it. The pool is at about 82F while the swirl pool is at 96F (hot tubs are at 101F) so the warmth people want after swimming is present. Like a hot tub, there will be benches and jets with the spraying water being fresh water (not re-using pool water). New regulations for municipal hot tubs make it difficult and expensive to provide them and the result is that they are frequently out of service. It would also be very expensive to make a change now since the contract to build the complex has been let and construction is underway.

Great Sex

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let #1 activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President

We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:< Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC<Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA< Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am #39 also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL < Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON <Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON Proof that it really works!

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

Often snorers also have sleep apnea which

causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my #23 life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.<Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton #40 Beach, FL < My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When retested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON < I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON <I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my selfesteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN < Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

ARE YOU THRIVING OR JUST SURVIVING?

Our Mission: To make Kanata, and the surrounding areas, the healthiest community in Canada.

For almost 5 years now we have been empowering people to optimize their health and reclaim their lives by living a wellness lifestyle. Our philosophy is simple: Eat, move and think in ways that we are supposed to and focus your energy on moving towards what you want your health and life to be instead of trying to avoid what you don’t want. Below are some of the living principles we live and teach in our office. Feel free to email us with questions and feedback is always welcome. You don’t have to be a professional athlete to reap the benefits of interval walking. In this form of exercise, you alternate bursts of fast, intense walking with periods of less intensity to allow your body to recover. In fact, by doing interval walking for about 20 minutes every other day, you can shift your metabolism into high gear so that you burn more calories and fat than if you were working out for about 40 minutes at a steady pace.

Be Fit

Burn More Calories Walking

Below are 6 tips to help you get the most out of your interval-walking session: • Wear shoes that will give you proper support, such as walking shoes, cross- training shoes, or running shoes. Avoid cotton socks and choose synthetic athletic socks that will lock away moisture while keeping your feet dry and blister-free. • Begin each session with a short walk at a slow or moderate pace. This allows your muscles to warm up before you start doing your intervals. • Do your best to maintain good posture while you’re walking. Tighten your abdominals and keep your chest lifted and your chin parallel to the ground (leading with your chin while walking can result in neck and back pain). • With each step, strike the ground from heel to toe and feel your buttocks (glutes) contract. This strengthens your buttocks and hamstrings as you walk. • Remember that doing something is better than nothing. Start slowly, and then gradually increase your periods of intensity and total distance. • If you’re not up to doing higher-intensity interval training on a given day, be sure to take a recreational walk for 15 to 20 minutes.

Eat Right

Celebrate Spring and boost your health with these amazingly healthy green foods! Everyone knows veggies are a must in any Good-For-You-Green-Foods healthy diet, but fewer than 10 percent of the population eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables daily. Even if you’re not a fan of green produce, you owe it to yourself and health to try it again so you can reap the tons of benefits that green fruits and veggies can provide.

Try going green with some of these: Avocados. Avocados contain lutein, an antioxidant that protects eye health and they are rich in vitamin E. Research shows that people who get the most vitamin E from their diet have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Avocados are tasty in salads and soups. Kale. Kale belongs to the powerhouse family of greens known as cruciferous veggies. All cruciferous vegetables contain cancer-fighting plant compounds and vitamin A, and even anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Brussels Sprouts. Another cruciferous veggie, Brussels Sprouts have vitamin A and C as well as birth-defect fighting folate and blood pressure balancing potassium. Not into Brussels sprouts or Kale: Consider other cruciferous veggies such as broccoli, arugula and bokchoy. Kiwi. Research shows kiwifruit is surprisingly nutrient-dense. Kiwi provides 230 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C (almost twice that of a orange), more potassium than a banana, and 10 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A and folate. It is also a good source of fiber. Green Tea. Studies show that green tea is loaded with antioxidants. It’s been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and more, Steep a cup in the morning to start your day on a superhealthy note. Basil. Herbs are generally loaded with vitamins and antioxidants and are underrated as a health food. Basil in particular is a good source of vitamin K and iron. Basil also boosts anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Snip some leaves into salads or any Italian dish. Green Beans. Green beans are loaded with fiber, which can help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar, making them an excellent choice for people with diabetes. Green Peppers. Green peppers are a good source of many important nutrients, including vitamin C, beta carotene, folate and vitamin K. Asparagus. This springtime vegetable is rich in vitamin K, C, A and folate. It also has a number of anti-inflammatory nutrients. Asparagus is famous for a healthy dose of inulin, a prebiotic, that promotes digestive health and is high in fiber (about 3 grams per cup) and protein (4 to 5 grams per cup). Asparagus amino acid called asparagine, helps cleanse the body of waste.

Think Well

That’s the question isn’t it? Is it possible to have unlimited health, wealth, and happiness Can We Really Have It All? or is that just a dream? Is suffering the nature of the human condition? The answer is yes AND no. It’s a choice. No matter who you are or where you come from, your life will take on the direction you choose for it. There are people in this world who have it all. The only difference between the “haves” and the “have nots” is that the haves know that life isn’t meant to be bad or full of suffering. With this knowledge they set out to have a proactive attitude and acquire the innovative skills of super achievers. Neither is impossible to acquire. So, the question then becomes: WHY have so many settled for so little? And which category do you currently fall into? Do you feel stuck? Unhappy? Unfulfilled? Do you wake up in the morning wondering is this really all there is? Are you a walking target for anti-depressant advertisements? Are you in a job you hate? A relationship that makes you miserable?A body that is neglected and unhealthy — and so on? If so, you better pay attention because our time here is short and precious. Every human being has the capacity to transform suffering or weakness into peace, power, strength, health and abundance. There is no authentic goal you can set for yourself that can’t be reached; no dream that can’t be realized. We are here to cultivate our passion, fulfill our dreams, thrive and take this exquisite experience called life to its apex. The human condition isn’t suffering; it’s achieving and being all that we can be. Sure, pain is a part of life, but suffering is optional. Its counterpart is joy!

Get Adjusted

Is Your “Brain-Body Connection” Connected? Your ability to heal your body is greater than anyone has ever led you to believe. If you cut into a steak, rub some antibiotic cream on it and cover it with a band-aid will it heal? Right, nothing happens. Now, what about when you cut your finger - what heals you? Is it the band-aid? No, it’s your body! Inside each of us is an amazing ability to heal ourselves. This process inside our bodies has been present from the moment you were conceived and is with you until your last moment on earth. This ability to heal is governed and controlled by your nerve system. Your very ability to heal, grow, repair, drive a golf ball, drive a car is controlled by your nerve system. Your life is experienced by the function of your nerve system. How well is your nerve system working? Stress in our lives is unavoidable. Gravity, pollution, deadlines, bullying, poor lifestyle, not enough exercise, a less than optimal diet, and emotional stress are all things that can affect us negatively. The best we can hope for is to manage our stress the best we can. If we can’t – it shows up as pain, headaches, poor sleep, tension, poor immune function, depression, anxiety, allergies, asthma, ear infections – the list goes on and on. Medicating the symptoms does nothing to get rid of the problem and you stay frustrated and worse, un-well. By conducting a simple, yet scientifically sound assessment of the function of your nerve system, we can determine how well your body is adapting to your stress. Below is an example of a poorly adapting nerve system and an example of an optimal adapting nerve system.

Call us today to have your nerve system professionally evaluated. If we see that we can help you, we’ll let you know and discuss a plan of action to help you optimize yours. If we can’t, we let you know that too and direct you to the best person who can. In your initial assessment, we will review your health history, conduct a very thorough and professional evaluation of your nerve system including a full posture assessment, computerized nerve system scans, and any necessary spinal imaging. Then we will review the findings with you and discuss a plan of action to help you get well and stay well. We have set aside a certain number of appointments for next week in exchange for $40 ($150 for a family of four).

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name Sad are the hearts that love you Silent are the tears that fall Living without you is the hardest part of all You did so many things for us Your heart was so kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we are all together But with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever Forever in our Hearts Love Mel, Allan, Kevin, Terry Tracey and Families

ANDRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In loving memory of our son Ryan who passed away April 12, 2011. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. He was a special person, Someone we loved and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t replace, Never selďŹ sh, always kind, These are the memories he left behind. Loved and remembered everyday Dad and Deborah
