Kanata legion honours veterans with luncheon Erin McCracken/Metroland

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - Moments after meeting for the first time, retired sergeant Wally Turini and Warrant Officer Eric Gagnon immediately find common ground.

“What part of Montreal are you from?” Gagnon asks the 96-year-old Second World War veteran.

They have much more in common than sharing the same home town.

The medals adorning each of their chests are evidence of this.

They were honoured along with about 100 veterans from the Second World War and Korean War up to currently serving members, at an annual luncheon at Kanata branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Tuesday, April 15.

Turini’s medals represent his time overseas blasting a Howitzer gun at German soldiers to force them out of Italy, from 1940 to 1945.

He celebrated his 20th birthday in England just after the war broke out.

“We were all young and tough, but they killed a lot of us,” recalls Turini, a Nepean resident who says he will never forget the sound of shrapnel narrowly missing him.

“When a shell explodes, shrapnel flies all over,” he said. “It whistled by my ear.

But we did the same to (enemy soldiers).”

Gagnon’s rack of medals is from more recent conflicts, including five deployments to Afghanistan, and missions to Haiti, the Central African Republic, Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia. Much of his intelligence work overseas is secret.

Turini doesn’t know it, but Gagnon was not only inspired by veterans like him to recently become a legion branch member, but also in joining the military 24 years ago.

Warrant Officer Eric Gagnon, left, and retired sergeant Wally Turini discover they share the common bonds of the same hometown and years of dedicated service with the Canadian military, including overseas conflict. Gagnon was sent to Afghanistan five times, and has several more deployments to his credit, while Turini fought as a gunner in the Second World War. About 100 veterans were honoured at an annual luncheon April 15 at Kanata branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion.

“Maybe part of the reason I joined (the military) was seeing the veterans at parades,” says Gagnon, who attended the luncheon with personnel from the Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre at Shirley’s Bay. “They really forged the freedoms we have today.”

Today, the Kanata resident feels a sense of responsibility in bolstering the legion’s membership. Many of the branch’s members are in their 70s.

“I want to carry on the tradition,” says Gagnon. “Everyone is getting older.”

Despite dedicating much of his life to the military, Gagnon, 46, reluctantly considers himself a veteran like Turini, and the many other veterans who came to the luncheon from

their homes in Arnprior, Carleton Place and across Ottawa, including the Pearly and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre.

Though he appreciates being honoured at the special meal, Gagnon says it’s difficult to see himself in the same light as the veterans who came before him.

“But I guess I am (a veteran) after the 24 years I’ve been doing it,” he says.

The luncheon helps forge strong connections between currently serving military personnel and their predecessors, and ensures their experiences from their years in service won’t be forgotten, says John Cher, Kanata legion branch president.

“What they’re doing today is carrying on what these veterans started years and years and years ago,” he says.

Fitzroy students work to destigmatize mental health issues Teens collaborating on solutions-based book ‘by youth for youth’ Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Students at St. Michael School in Fitzroy are working to publish a book by youth, for youth, dealing with teen mental health.

The goal of Teen MINDS (Mental Illness Needs Different Solutions) is to create a collaborative book filled with anecdotes, stories and images from Canadian and American youth.

“We want this to impact kids all over North America,” said Ella Blondin, a Grade 7 student.

“Something that changes their lives.”

The students hope the personal stories and solutions will help others who are dealing with difficult situations to let them know they aren’t alone.

“Everyone goes through problems,” said Caitlin Clouthier, a Grade 8 student. “It’ll definitely help people to know they aren’t alone.”

Although there’s been a local push to destigmatize youth mental health issues, it still exists. People support the cause with wrist bands and donations, but no one is really talking about their experiences.

Teen MINDS wants to change that.

“Everyone goes through it,” said Caitlin. “Don’t stay quiet; it doesn’t do any good to keep it

all in. People care. Speak out.”

The 18 youth who started Teen MINDS are holding a contest to help garner interest and awareness around the book.

Youth ages 12 to 23 are invited to submit a story or image supporting youth mental health.

Submissions will be published in the book and prizes will be awarded to the top five in each category. The contest closes June 22.

Teen MINDS is also looking for donations to help cover the cost of publication.

To submit an entry, to donate or for more information, visit teenminds.com.

The group is using social media to help garner support for the cause. They hope to get more people to sign up by using Thunderclap – a website that will simultaneously post a message about Teen MINDS to supporters’ profiles – to spread the word before the deadline of Monday, April 28. As of April 21, they were at 83 per cent of their goal.

For details, visit thunderclap.it/ projects/10097?locale=en.

GIVING VOICE

Last year, Justin Nolan’s Grade 7 class was discussing entrepreneurship and what it takes to start a business. The students talked about writing a book and started discussing ideas. The topic of youth mental health was raised and the students brainstormed more than 220 subjects under that header.

Nolan stopped into a local

chain bookstore to see what types of materials were available. Looking around the teen and youth section, he noticed the self-help area only filled one small cubby shelf. The same area in the adult section filled an entire wall.

He purchased all the youth books and every student in the class was given one to read and had to create a review, looking at what they liked and didn’t about the material.

When all the notes were compared, two similarities presented themselves: the more comprehensive the solutions, the more the students enjoyed the book; and all the books were written by adults.

“I thought it was kind of strange,” said Caitlin. “There were no books by teens.”

Everything has changed since the adult authors were teenagers, she said; youth nowadays have different stresses, issues and problems.

Last year’s project followed the students into Grade 8 this year. The goal is to have as many submissions as possible from youth around North America, covering as many topics and personal solutions dealing with youth mental health and illness as possible.

“They’re kids that dream big,” said Nolan about his students. “They know it’ll be successful.

“Their goal is to have as many youth as possible contribute to this.”

didn’t stop. Now, students have collected more than 4,000 cans of food, said Madeeha.

“Mr. Westover said that some food cupboards, 4,000 is all they have. So I think it’s really cool how it’s like we’ve collected a food cupboard almost for another town,” she said.

Still, the class had another idea.

They came up with the idea to make and sell friendship bracelets as another way to support the food cupboard.

Some of the students had done this before, but only Roya and Madeeha remembered how to make the bracelets.

Madeeha said she and Roya are proud of their students.

“It’s pretty cool because there are people that have never made them before and they are making complicated ones,” she said.

big demand for them at the school, so the class began taking orders. Drawing on YouTube videos and instructional websites to learn more advanced bracelet designs, the class is on track to make $750.

“This class makes me so proud,” said Westover.

“They are caring beyond words.”

The Kanata Food Cupboard’s president, Marc Dumais, said it’s classes like Westover’s, and schools like South March that make it possible for the food cupboard to help the community.

“Everyone at the Kanata Food Cupboard really appreciates the incredible effort by the students, teachers and families at South March Public School.

These students have already understood the importance of being involved in their community, and we applaud everyone at the school for their contribution and support.”

motivation for Tim Westover’s class. Students there have managed to collect more than 4,000 cans of goods and $750 from their custom-made friendship bracelet sales.

All they have collected will be going to the Kanata Food Cupboard, along with the cans the rest of the school has helped to gather since early April.

While the whole school has made an effort to help the Kanata Food Cupboard,

Westover’s class has gone a step further.

It all started with a class Westover taught several years ago and their record of collecting 2,480 cans. It was the ultimate goal for Westover’s present-day class, said Roya Al-Khalili and Madeeha Shaikh.

“Our goal was to beat it from the beginning,” said Roya.

Though the task seemed gargantuan at the beginning, the class started strong while working towards some incentives like collecting enough cans to take over Westover’s teaching space, and then a chance at spinning the class’s prize wheel.

The students managed to collect 2,000 before losing momentum.

“On the last day when we were five cans off from breaking the goal, people started to get out their money,” said Roya.

After donating their own cash, the class reached the target of 2,480. But they

Stoop-and-scoop this spring

S

pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite season.

Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers aren’t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs.

Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and that’s no fun for anyone.

The vast majority of dog owners clean up after their pet – if they didn’t, we’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 “No.” 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 city’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, that’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 don’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 isn’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 – 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, it’s dog owners that have the most to lose.

Jazz band forms trans-generational bond

I

n 1974, Pierre Trudeau was re-elected with a minority government, president Richard Nixon imposed a 55 mileper-hour speed limit, Blazing Saddles opened in movie theatres and, in another significant cultural event, four transplanted Brits got together with two Canadians to play traditional jazz.

That was the Apex Jazz Band, which on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m. celebrates its 40th year at its accustomed hangout, the Royal Oak in Kanata. When you think of the things that don’t last 40 years – which is to say, most things – that’s an amazing accomplishment.

Three members of the original band are still playing – leader and clarinetist Roger Cramphorn, trombonist and business manager Rod Digney and bassist Ron Laight, who was only 19 at the time the band formed. The others are drummer Steve Barrette, trumpeter Gordon Tapp and Dave Johnstone on guitar and banjo.

Although some people think of traditional jazz (sometimes referred to as Dixieland) as a kind of museum piece, it’s a living thing in the right hands. A contemporary trumpet player from New Orleans, Wynton Marsalis, likes to say that “all jazz is modern.” In other words, because it is improvised on the spot,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in the moment, it is always new.

You can test that out by going to the band’s website, www.apexjazzband.ca, where you can see videos of the band and catch up on its recordings, dating back to 1977, and its history. There are more than 200 songs in Apex’s repertoire and the band is still learning more.

The band’s first gig was at the Black Bottom, a club underneath the Gondola Restaurant on Bank Street. A number of other venues followed, until Apex settled in at its current location for Sunday afternoon shows 24 years ago.

Much has changed over the years. The Internet, which has generally had a negative effect on live music, has also helped in some ways. Promotions is an obvious one, but there are others.

“It is no longer necessary to scour record shops to find a recording of something,” Rod Digney notes. “If it exists, one is likely to find it with a simple five-minute Google search from the comfort of home. For us, this has facilitated what I like to call ‘email rehearsals.’ One of the guys finds a vintage tune he’d like the band to do and sends the rest of us a link to a YouTube video or audio we can all listen to. Often, the chords are also available on line, otherwise someone writes them out from the recording. We all have a good listen, often playing along and if he needs to, the trumpeter can write himself a chart for the lead line. We’ll have a quick talk-through just before our regular gig starts, then play it in the show, without ever having gotten together for a rehearsal.”

The band members acknowledge that the music does appeal to an older crowd. But not exclusively.

“Throughout our existence as a band,” says Rod Digney, “we have learned that young people also love the music – they just don’t know that they like it.

“Young people (I am thinking collegeaged students) who would not walk across the street to hear the band, generally get very enthusiastic about the music if they happen to

Adds Roger Cramphorn, “What I noticed throughout my musical life here was that generally, the older people came along first then followed by the next generation and then the last few years, the grandchildren started to appear! This gave me great joy because we were teaching kids to enjoy live music and we seemed to form a trans-generational bond with them so we were passing on the love of the music.”

Universal childcare is an economic issue

W

hen I first became a mother, I wasn’t sure universallysubsidized childcare was the best thing for families or for tax payers. At the time, I felt I was young enough to take a break from my career, and I valued the care that only I could provide to my children.

I didn’t want a surrogate. I wanted to be supermom, in the sense that I would be the one to manage the nurture, feeding and education of my young babes.

Three children in and almost a decade later, I’ve changed my mind. Completely.

I’ve been managing a home business and working out various part-time childcare arrangements for so many years that I realize the inconsistency of it all has left us all quite stressed out.

Perhaps more significantly, the lack of affordable childcare has severely limited my

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse career options.

We’ve crunched the numbers upside down and sideways on a regular basis, and every time we realize that paying for care for three children – even when it was just two – plus the cost of me going into a public forum to work (transit, clothing, work luncheons, etc.), would leave me with very little take home pay. In the cost-benefit analysis – me returning to work or continuing to run my home business part-time so I could still be the point person at home – the latter has always

won. If I had the option of affordable childcare, I’d be back into the public sphere in a flash. As it stands, I don’t have a real choice.

I’ve concluded that Canada needs a national system of affordable, quality childcare.

This is not purely a gendered argument. There is much research out there to suggest that affordable childcare for families can offer a major economic benefit, and not just for parents with young children.

Companies invest a lot in young men and women,

to train them and help them build their careers. When the babies arrive, these men and women are often forced to make a choice between family and their careers. The result is that many – mostly women – are fleeing the workforce in droves at key points in their career trajectories.

It’s no secret that the population is aging and that the baby boomers are retiring en masse. We need all working-age people to stay in the workforce, to continue to build our economy and pay taxes to support social programs and infrastructure programs. The only way to ensure this happens is to give men and women real choices.

The only way to do that is to create a national system of high quality and affordable childcare.

Canada has a number of models to emulate. The most obviously cited example is Quebec’s seven-dollar-perday system.

Critics have touted it as expensive and lacking oversight in terms of quality.

The latter point is mostly true.

Two years ago, an American journalist wrote about the

Subjects the students came up with include: dysfunctional families, abuse, eating disorders, cancer, schizophrenia, smoking, divorce, self-harm, racism, suicide, homophobia and body image issues.

“Fitting in – feeling ac-

cepted and feeling like they can be who they are is really hard,” said Ella. “That isn’t right.”

They also listed a number of positive attributes, such as: choosing your mood, being grateful, perspective, love, goal setting, resiliency and friendships.

able childcare is a topic that comes and goes in popularity.

It’s a great thing to promise in an election, but when the number crunching begins, most leaders turn their backs on it. People using the system advocate for better quality and affordability, but quickly abandon the cause once their own children are school-aged.

Part of the problem is that affordable childcare is always presented as an issue for the people that will actually use the system. There’s little emphasis on the benefits of a universal childcare system to people of all ages. Affordable and universally accessible childcare is, frankly, a silver bullet if we want to maintain and build a workforce of competent men and women to drive the economy.

As we look forward to Canada 20 years from now, we shouldn’t be asking how we can afford to implement a national childcare strategy, but how we can’t.

Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice finishes first phase of construction Upcoming hike fundraiser to give community sneak peak Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Construction on the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice is making progress, with the first of three phases finished and three quarters of funds raised.

The $6.2 million build of the new hospice facility, located on 110 McCurdy Dr., began when Hospice Care Ottawa purchased the former

struction companies and volunteers.

“We are just so thrilled,” said Sullivan about the hospice’s progress. “The people we have worked with, the construction companies and all the volunteers and the people who have donated things to make this happen have been fabulous.”

With the kitchen done as well as the common room and dining room nearing completion, the next step for the hospice is phase two: introducing day programming.

“What we’d like to offer is

church in June, 2013.

Now, much of the interior of the building has been renovated and administrative staff has moved into the building in early April.

Lisa Sullivan, Hospice Care Ottawa’s executive director, attributes much of this progress to the millions of dollars in cash and in-kind donations donated from the community members, the help of con-

counselling, peer support groups and more. Sullivan said she hopes to get some of these programs started this fall, drawing on Hospice Care Ottawa’s over 600 volunteers.

“And then that provides, a day of rest for the person who is looking after them as well.”

Other programs would include grief and bereavement

Customer Appreciation

Shinny Shootout

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Cameron Taylor, 12, quickly works his hockey stick to prevent his dad, Jeff Taylor, from scoring during shinny action in their Briarbrook neighbourhood in north Kanata on April 18. The pair did a little work around the house during their day off on Good Friday, and then rewarded themselves by taking to the street for a quick game outside their home.

The Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, Mich., pictured above, is the inspiration for the design of Aquatopia - an aquatic greenhouse that would include water installations, botanical gardens and a spa.

Spring is here – finally

Carp looks to open region’s first aquatic greenhouse brandon.gillet@metroland.com

News- Carp will soon be home to Ottawa’s first aquatic greenhouse.

Mayor Jim Watson and Coun. Eli El-Chantiry attended the building’s soil-turning ceremony with owners and investors on April 15. The aquatic oasis facility, called Aquatopia, will hold its grand opening in July.

Aquatopia is a large indoor greenhouse designed to offer year- round access to beautiful tropical horticultural displays as well as special events like luncheon’s or weddings. It will feature aquatic botanical gardens complete with streams, koi ponds, landscapes with fountains, walls made entirely of plant life, and a Lotus Natural Mineral Spa. It will also offer a café featuring a cordon bleu chef, retail garden shops, all under a high-glass ceiling greenhouse.

“Aquatopia has been a vision of mine for a long time,” said creator Nicholas Bott. “To create a truly spectacular space that would allow the community to completely immerse itself in the natural beauty of an aquatic greenhouse.”

Bott has been planning construction of Aquatopia for three years now with his wife Catherine Neville. Together they own the Pond Clinic in Ottawa which will be moving from Stafford Road West to Aquatopia upon completion. The design is inspired by the Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, Mich.

With help from local entrepreneur and founder of the modern day Ottawa Senators, Bruce Firestone and his son Matthew, Bott was able to secure the land and building permits for the location in Carp just off Highway 417 at exit 155.

According to Bott the location is perfect because there is

lots of water in the area and it features a rural setting while still being close to the city.

This is ideal considering the facility will capture a completely natural feeling setting.

“We wanted a space a little bit out of the city but still close enough to be convenient,” said Bott.

With its unique features, Bott outlines the purpose of the facility is to, “create a more contemporary European-style garden centre and shopping facility within the region.”

According to Melissa Brunet, Aquatopia’s cafe and events manager, the location will host special events like business meetings or luncheons as well as private weddings. These will be catered by their cordon bleu chef, Jimmy LaFreniere, and an awardwinning floral team.

“It’s going to be so beautiful and magical,” said Brunet.

“I would want to have my wedding there.”

It’s time for the exciting transition back to outdoor exercise after a winter of stuffy indoor workouts, or lack of exercise all together.

Although many of you are eager to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement in the fresh outdoor air, you must first ensure you have the right equipment and that you are exercising in moderation.

Overtraining can lead to repetitive strain injuries which occur when exercise intensity, frequency or duration is excessive, and the exerciser doesn’t allow sufficient recovery in between workouts.

Chronic insufficient recovery can actually do the body harm and set back training goals. In other words, overtraining can be counterproductive.

Overtraining can also quickly lead to the development of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, metatarsal stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis and many more painful problems. The trick to proper spring training is

Kanata hair dresser wins international acclaim Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Arts - Canada is home to some of the world’s best hair dressers, including one of Kanata’s own – Silas Tsang.

This February, Tsang and two other Canadians came home with four out of five awards from the Haute Coiffure Française annual competition, where more than 100 hair dressers from around the world compete annually for five awards.

This was the first time three Canadians had come home with four of the five awards. It was also Tsang’s first international award.

“It was amazing,” said Tsang. “It was a really good experience for me.”

This is not the first time Tsang has won praise, though his acclaim so far had been limited to awards in Canada.

A seven-year veteran of hair dressing competitions in Canada and North America, Tsang has won colourist of the year in national competition as well as salon team of the year, and has been a North American finalist for eight years.

However, this second place

finish at Haute Coiffure Française is the pinnacle so far.

Hair dressing has been Tsang’s passion for many years, starting out young in England and starting work in Kanata in 1993. Now, he is the creative director at Blushes high-end hair and beauty salon.

“I love hair dressing,” said Tsang. “I think it’s one kind of art work that is really instant, showing the result after only half an hour, maybe an hour.

Some artists spend hours and hours, or years and years on a painting.”

While Tsang said the day-today work of making customers happy with a new haircut or style is part of his passion, competing allows him to use his imagination and express himself.

However, competing is an involved process, including hours of experimenting and several months to prepare for an event like Haute Coiffure Française, said Tsang.

Each competitor has to create an entire look for a model, including makeup and clothing. This requires a team a four: a hair dresser, colourist, make-up artist and a model.

For Tsang, the team consisted of his wife, Dorothy Tsang (colourist and makeup artist) and local model Stephanie Priest.

After coming up with a look, the team must create it and have their model photographed. The photos are submitted to judges who then invite a handful of finalists to Paris. After that, the goal is to recreate the look in 90 minutes in front of judges and other hair dressers of acclaim, sticking as closely to the photo as possible. Only the outfit and makeup can change, said Tsang.

Coming up with a style was a struggle at first, he said.

“The French still like a certain style, they want it more fairy tale,” he said, while his own style is more modern.

While Tsang knew he could have created something to appease the judges, he decided to follow his own muse instead, going with a more futuristic, steam-punk inspired look.

“Before I went to Paris, I just wanted to do the best I can,” he said.

But with a successful 90-minute performance, Tsang was confident in placing, and said he was happy with the

With an international award under his belt, Tsang’s record makes him a strong candidate for a judge in major competi-

tions. However, he said he still has one last major hurdle: after being a finalist for the North American Hairstyling Awards eight times, Tsang hopes to finally win.

As for this spring and summer’s upcoming hair trends, Tsang said a modern take on the bob and pixie cut are in style, along with pastel colours.

Clever ways to improve a relationship News - No matter whether you’re dating now, or have been happily married for years, here are five simple ways to make that relationship even better, no matter where you are in your romantic journey: Recognize what’s important to your partner. Taking time to do this can go a long way towards building goodwill and an atmosphere of compromise. On the flip side, it’s also important for your partner to recognize your wants and for you to state them clearly. Constantly giving to others at the expense of your Submit

Knowing what’s important for your partner and continuing to find shared interests are just a few ways to keep improving any romantic relationship.

own needs builds resentment and anger.

Keep outside relationships and interests alive. No one person can meet all of our needs, and expecting too much from someone can put a lot of unhealthy pressure on a relationship. Having friends and outside interests not only strengthens your social network, but brings new insights and stimulation to the relationship too.

Change it up. Act out of character — you can easily get into ruts. If you find that you are repeating patterns, step back and

break it up. Be somewhat unknown to each other. We are hardwired as humans to like mystery and be intrigued by it. There is an excitement that comes from anticipating and not knowing.Find something you enjoy doing together. It can be a shared hobby, a dance class, a daily walk or volunteering. Doing service moves you out of yourself and your own problems and supports a broader, more spiritual view of life. Get involved with a local organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) and help improve the lives

of children and families living in poverty around the world.

Connect as a couple and rekindle love. Relationships need time to thrive. It is vitally important to set aside specific times to be together. Commit to spending quality time together on a regular basis. Even during very busy and stressful times, a few minutes of sharing and connecting can help keep bonds strong.

Relationships are an investment. The more you put in, the more you get back.

Ogilvie Subaru: A New Home for Confidence in Motion prizes from almost every industry analyst and review group. Their model line-up has grown to include gasoline-electric hybrids, segment-defining crossovers, and a rear-wheel drive two-door sports coupe that is winning converts from high-level European products. And when the largest car maker in the world (Toyota) asks Subaru to build some of their cars and collaborate on special projects, well you know they’re doing something very right.

R0012554927-0213

Left to right are: Lisa Mierins of Ogilvie Subaru, Don Durst of Subaru Canada, Ottawa City Councillor Tim Tierney, Mr Shiro Ohta - President and CEO of Subaru Canada, and Tom McCullough of Ogilvie Subaru.

Dr. Gail M. C. White, currently at 320 March Road Suite 603, Kanata, and ActiveCare Medical Services are pleased to announce the relocation of her Family Medicine Practice to our Kanata location at 1108 Klondike Road as of May 1, 2014.

Contact: 613-254-9777 Website: www.activecareclinics.ca

On January 10, 1977, Ogilvie Subaru became just the 10th dealership in Canada selling those iconic all-wheel drive compacts with the unusual horizontallyopposed ‘pancake’ engines. On April 9 of this year, the Mierins family celebrated 37 successful years of Subaru sales in Ottawa with a brand new location on Parisien Street (just off St. Laurent and the Queensway). The Subaru family of retailers now numbers almost 90 stores from coast to coast and arguably none more impressive and inviting than Ottawa’s own Ogilvie Subaru.

The success stories of both Subaru and the Mierins family over the years have blazed very similar trails. Subaru never wavered from their original philosophy that all-wheel drive was the best and safest way to power a passenger vehicle. When they first starting selling vehicles in Canada only large SUV’s and trucks offered all-wheel drive. Now almost every carmaker has followed Subaru’s lead. But where other manufacturers simply bolt on

another drive-train to an existing platform, Subaru designs every aspect their vehicles around a dedicated full-time revolutionary all-wheel drive system.

Arnie Mierins and his family also started their vehicle retailing careers with a focused concept.

They believe that buying new and pre-owned vehicles and getting them serviced shouldn’t be a stressful or difficult process.

They have carefully selected and trained team members over the years that share this credo and treated them the way they want their clients treated; with respect. The end result is a legion of satisfied customers who refer friends and family on a daily basis and staff who buck the automotive industry trend by remaining with the same store year after year after year.

Ogilvie Subaru’s manager Tom McCullough sees his team’s role as a very unique mission. While they are constantly welcoming repeat buyers who are very familiar with the entire Subaru

line-up, a great many customers at Ogilvie’s are first-time Subaru owners. Tom and his team take the time to provide personalized tutorials on the unique aspects of Subaru’s design and adhere to another long-time Mierins tenet; no pressure sales. The new showroom is warm, open and inviting with no closed-door ‘finance box’ offices, but instead has comfortable discussion tables and where Ogilvie Subaru consultants listen and learn about their customers’ needs before making recommendations.

Among the dignitaries and guests at the grand opening, was Subaru of Canada President and CEO, Mr. Shiro Ohta. He congratulated Lisa Mierins, Tom, and the Ogilvie staff and offered his company’s commitment to continue to excel and improve in 2014. His company is setting high standards, as usual. Their growth in sales over the last decade is the envy of literally every auto manufacturer around the globe.

They have set records for safety awards and received prestigious

The location of the new Ogilvie Subaru couldn’t have been better picked nor planned. Just off the Queensway, it’s accessible from any area of the Ottawa/ Gatineau region. With plenty of parking and a very large state-ofthe-art service and parts centre, customers don’t have to wait for appointments or for quick routine maintenance services.

And rather than a segregated waiting area, Subaru service clients are welcome to relax in VIP seating with showroom guests.

A wise move on Lisa Mierins’ part, because there’s no better salesperson for Subaru than a current Subaru owner.

Many industry watchers over the years have bemoaned the lack of a Canadian car. Those critics have never ridden in or driven a Subaru.

If anything was built for Canada, it’s Subaru. With intelligent all-wheel drive that requires no driver input, and league-leading fuel economy and spirited performance, all wrapped up in some very stylish and functional models, it’s no wonder that more and more Canadians every year are trading in their ordinary cars for an extraordinary opportunity to live and drive the adventure that is owning a Subaru.

Lisa Mierins and Tom McCullough and the entire Ogilvie Subaru team extend a warm invitation to discover what confidence in motion is all about in a way that respects their customers and their world.

Calls to Bylaw Have Decreased The Bylaw Services report has been published for the first quarter of 2014. Calls for service in Kanata South are down 11 percent over last year with 242 of the 425 calls being related to parking issues. The next highest at 94 calls is animal issues.

These reports help my office track issues in our Ward and target issues that need addressing. Please let me know if you have a municipal issue that we can provide you assistance on.

Projects around the Ward Very proud to announce that we have over 70 million dollars worth of infrastructure projects underway this year that will benefit our Ward directly. A listing will be in my next newsletter. I am also working with industry and city staff to boost economic development in our area that will bring more jobs to Kanata.

t was a wet and long spring that year.

And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones.

But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy.

Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies, who with wobbly legs were trying, to find firm footing.

That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to give birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression.

There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us.

When the very last ewe deliered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as

MARY COOK Memories black as ink.

Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “Don’t think it’s going to make it anyway... it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day.”

There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I

could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable.

I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep.

I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets.

They would eventually end up at the market, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind.

Lambie and I would grow old together.And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or in bed, were we apart.

It followed me around the barn yard, and while it was still tiny, I carried it in my arms as if it were a little puppy.

And I watched in wonder, as Lambie grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind.

My brother Emerson thought it was pure nonsense to have a lamb as a pet.

“It’s not a lamb anymore,” he said.

“It’s a full grown sheep.”

As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie.

It would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned.

I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day.

I wondered if summer would ever come.

We had to wear our rubber rain coats and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch to the Northcote school.

As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen.

And then it was suppertime, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to check on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast on a mound of hay with all the other sheep.

Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal.

Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach.

I assured him I did.

“Well, you just ate Lambie” he said.

I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets.

Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed.

My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered?

The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed.

It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb.

Weekend walking events to promote urban landscapes Parks, hospital and sand dune walks available Michelle Nash

Community - It’s time to put on your walking shoes.

Jane’s Walk Ottawa, an annual event that encourages city residents to explore their neighbourhoods, will take place on May 3 and 4 and participants will have a choice of a number of venues throughout the city.

The walks offer the opportunity to: • Find out where Centretown’s foodie hangouts are • Discover Ottawa’s urban sand dune • Talk about everything parks related in Vanier • Celebrate Montfort Hospital’s 60th anniversary, an event which will offer facts about the area and grounds as well as the history of the hospital during the tour.

Organizers expect there to be more than 50 walks over the weekend with walks on a range of topics.

Janes Walk takes place in more than 100 cities all over the world and is named after writer and urban activist Jane Jacobs. The walks typically are held during the first weekend of May to coincide with Jacobs’s birthday.

In 2013, more than 2,000 local people participated in the event.

The walks are given once during the weekend, take about an hour, and cover around one to two kilometres. The walks are free, led by volunteers and can focus on just about anything.

The Vanier Beautification Committee is organizing a walk which will focus on its local parks. The purpose of the walk is to discuss the parks, the history of the area including Marier, Emond and Optimiste parks and the Vanier Cenotaph. A discussion will follow.

“We picked parks and these in particular including the cenotaph, because we adopted these last year and we have plans to further develop Marier Park and install a perennial garden in Optimiste Park,” said Tina Delaney, committee chairwoman. “We would like to invite people to come out and discover the parks and if interested find out more about volunteering with events in the parks.”

Promoting the event at a recent Vanier Community Association meeting on April 8, Dan Shipley said the Beautification Committee’s walk would be a great way to learn about the parks and what the avid gardening committee does in the neighbourhood.

To kick off a weekend, organizers for this year’s event have a Jane’s Talk, Neighbourhood Narratives, event planned for at the Arts Court, 2 Daley Ave., on May 1 at 7 p.m.

The night will offer the chance to learn from a group

CANADA POST Beaverbrook meeting - Thursday, April 24th at 7 pm in the Beaverbrook Community Centre, to discuss post box locations. Updated locations are now available for viewing at http://tiny.cc/CanadaPostKanata.

RAIL CROSSINGS IN KANATA NORTH The City is doing a study of all rail crossings to ensure they meet safety criteria. In Kanata North there are two rail lines, neither of which carries much traffic. They are: 1) The CNR line that crosses Carling Ave. in the Greenbelt and runs behind the business park, Catterick, Applecross, Celtic Ridge and Macara. There are unprotected crossings on Klondike and March Valley. CNR has applied to abandon this track but you need to check carefully for trains. If the track is removed the City plan is to purchase the right of way for a trail.

2) The City owned railway runs parallel to Carling, crosses Herzberg, Teron, March, Goulbourn Forced and Terry Fox. There is generally one train per week in each direction (presently on Wed) but others could occur. As Herzberg and March have OC bus routes the City will add gates there. Terry Fox already has gates. Teron is linked with Herzberg while the GFR has no protection so slow down and look when crossing on the GFR. The speed is only 10 km/h in this section.

CONGRATULATIONS More than 20 nominations were received for the Kanata North Community Awards this year. All nominees are being feted at an award ceremony on April 27th at RRCK. Congratulations to each of the nominees, who have done so much to enrich our community.

I was pleased to attend the Kanata Food Cupboard AGM and presentation of awards earlier this month.

Making a difference with socially responsible investing News - If you regularly watch the evening news, you likely have seen stories about social activism and massive protests in support of issues like the environment.

Not only are they trying to communicate directly with the public, they are also asking some corporations to change.

These are noble causes that sometimes involve a level of personal risk.

Another way of exacting change is by working with companies from the inside.

In other words: investing in them.

According to Rosalie Vendette, senior advisor in socially responsible investment (SRI) with Desjardins Group, SRI is an emerging field that is still defining itself.

“It’s really about engagement, not activism,” says Vendette. “An engaged investor seeks to persuade management to adopt more responsible environmental, social and governance prac-

s Please dres for appropriately the weather

, bring Arrive early ks chairs, snac . & drinks etc

tices.

A common way to sway management is to draw attention to these concerns through direct dialogue.

While consumers have the power to decide whether or not to buy a product, investors wield their power in a much more strategic manner.

For example, companies that fail to address the environmental impact of their operations can do serious damage to both their public image and their pocketbook.

Conversely, companies that reduce their environmental footprint see their stock rise in more ways than one.”

Interestingly, there remains a perception that SRIs yield lower returns because performance may be sacrificed in favour of principles.

“In the medium to long term, SRI criteria have little impact on fund performance,” says Denis Dion, product manager with Desjardins Investment Fund De-

velopment Department.

“A study of American funds published in the Journal of Investing found that over an 18 year-period, an index of 400 U.S. companies that met SRI criteria performed comparably to the S&P 500, which indexes 500 major U.S. corporations.”

“The point is that SRI is a paradigm shift and we’re eagerly working to spread the news,” says Vendette.

“We know that this new approach will continue to transform how we have traditionally invested in companies. And ultimately, we hope that this will contribute to more sustainable corporate practices.”

Zero-maintenance gardens are imaginary News - Over the last decade, the idea of a zero-maintenance garden has become the holy grail of outdoor spaces.

Imagine, a yard that always looks amazing and requires no effort on the part of the homeowner – a personal utopia that remains exactly as you left it.

But don’t hold your breath.

Most experts agree there is no such thing as a zero-maintenance garden. Even if you paved your entire yard and installed plastic plants, nature would find a way to be a part of your perfect space.

The best we can achieve is less maintenance. Every single thing you put in your outdoor space requires effort.

Even dirt requires work. Making your life easier is all about making the best choices for you and your space.

I laugh out loud when clients ask me for a nice big lawn as part of their easy-to-care-for backyard. In my experience, there is nothing more time consuming or labour intensive than grass. We have this misconception that a lawn should look like the pictures on the

fertilizer bag and people spend all summer trying to make it happen. My neighbour Jim has the best grass I’ve ever seen.

I decided to track the amount of time he spent in one week making it perfect. With weeding, watering, cutting, edging, trimming, and fertilizing, Jim spent almost 20 hours working on his lawn…and I didn’t see him actually enjoying it. Personally, that’s not how I want to fill my weekends. As a designer however, I know that filling a large backyard with a grass-less creation is expen-

sive. I’d also be fighting a tradition that has been a part of the North American home for longer than I’ve been alive.

So instead of doing away with the lawn, maybe the better answer is to redefine it.

The marketplace is now full of options that are alternates to our customary Kentucky Blue grass seed. Some people have opted for clover lawns; others have gone with mixes that utilize native fescue seeds.

Both are definitely less maintenance than what we are used to, but they both still require

some effort. To help with this, technology is also changing through the introduction of new battery-operated tools that are easy to use and easy to care for.

The Black & Decker 19inch 36V Self-Propelled Cordless Mower (SPCM1936) is my new favourite outdoor toy. Not only can I adjust the mowing speed to my personal pace, its one-touch height adjustment allows me to choose my desired grass height – all with the pull of a single lever.

Cutting grass has never been

so easy Maybe the key to discovering the zero-maintenance garden isn’t trying to get rid of all the things that require work, the key is to make the work more enjoyable because then it isn’t really a chore anymore!

Like I’ve always said, “When the tools becomes toys, the job becomes a hobby!” One day we could all enjoy the yard work so much that we actually consider it a pleasure!

Maybe I’ll file this idea right beside my photo of the yeti.

Protesters demand telecom giants close digital divide Erin McCracken

News - For Elmvale resident Robert Fitzpatrick, the Internet is a lifeline.

Without online access to services, the U.S. resident says he wouldn’t even be able to live in Canada with his Canadian wife.

“If it wasn’t for the Internet, I wouldn’t even be here right now,” said Fitzpatrick.

He said the Internet allows him to regularly connect with Immigration Canada and fill out the necessary forms in his quest for Canadian citizenship, which is especially important because there is no immigration office near his home.

But, he says, the $70 price tag he pays every month is too high, and has, in the past, made it tough for him and his wife to stretch their dollars.

They’ve even turned to the food bank during tough times.

This prompted Fitzpatrick to join about 40 members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a low-income advocacy group with chapters in Ottawa, and march 10 kilometres through the downtown on April 17.

They are calling on Bell, Rogers, Telus, and the federal government to provide people living below the low-income measure with high-speed Internet for $10 a month.

“Fight, fight, fight. Internet is a right,” ACORN members chanted near the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights at

the corner of Elgin and Lisgar streets.

Some walked while others navigated their wheelchairs in a loop that took them past the Parliament Buildings as well as Industry Minister James Moore’s Queen Street office.

ACORN members chose to begin and end their rally at the human rights memorial to reflect a 2011 United Nations report stating Internet access is a human right.

“And I agree with that because I cannot even begin to describe all the ways that people are connected … with the Internet,” Fitzpatrick said.

ACORN cites a 2010 Statistics Canada report outlining the disparity in access between high and low-income earners.

About 54 per cent of households that earn $30,000 or less had home Internet access, whereas 97 per cent of households making $87,000 or more were connected online.

Figures released in a 2012 Statistics Canada Internet usage survey tell a similar story.

Almost all those households surveyed making $94,000 or more had home Internet access, while 58 per cent of households earning $30,000 or less were connected online.

But the advocacy group points to promising developments south of the border where Comcast launched an Internet program in 2011, offering low-speed Internet for about $10 a month, free Internet training and the chance to purchase a low-cost computer.

“That was way to easy!”

ACORN’s members are also closely watching Toronto, where Rogers launched a pilot program last August to provide high-speed Internet to some community housing residents for about $10 a month, as well as the opportunity to buy a refurbished $150 computer.

“It’s something that is a huge part of everybody’s life, and, like food or anything else I think that there should be easier and less costly access, especially for kids nowadays,” said Vanier resident Jaye Rutter.

She attended the rally because she says she pays $79.95 a month to connect online, which eats into her grocery budget.

“You can’t find a job the old way anymore,” she added.

“You can’t even go in and bring in a resume. Everything is through the computer. It’s like a telephone. It’s necessary.”

For some, like Fitzpatrick, free Internet access at Ottawa library branches is neither convenient, nor easily accessible.

Computer use is limited, said the chair of ACORN’s South Ottawa chapter.

Because of his visual impairment, Fitzpatrick must hook up a device to a computer that reads words on the screen to him.

But he isn’t able to plug his portable screen reader into a library computer.

“A library computer would not be the best solution,” he said.

She joined members of ACORN, a national advocacy group for low-income earners, who marched 10 kilometres, calling on telecom giants to provide $10-a-month Internet access to those in need.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Drink to your

Greco’s Fat Loss

One of the best ways to spring cleanse is to add whole food smoothies to your day. We all know that it is important to get your 8-10 servings a day of veggies and fruits but with a busy life how do you fit it all in?

Our solution…. WHOLE FOOD SMOOTHIES! Simply blend away and voila, you can easily get your daily target!

A recent study done by The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism tested the degree that the metabolism was elevated after exercise with a group of individuals that didn’t eat breakfast and a group that did. They tested how many calories were burned, 12 and 24 hours after the aerobic workout. The results showed that the amount the metabolism was elevated after the workout was much greater both 12 and 24 hours after for the group that did eat breakfast. As well, the group that ate breakfast resulted in much more fat being used for energy rather than carbohydrates.

To sum it up, pre-workout breakfast has a long-term value for fat loss.

By eating breakfast, more fat will be burned during the work, and the metabolism will be elevated to a much greater degree up to 24 hours post workout.

News - In just one week, Taylor Creighton transformed a blank piece of paper into a source of inspiration for others.

Her superhero bear design was chosen from among more than 120 student designs to become the logo for this year’s Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s telethon, which happens in June.

“It took me like a week because it was in class, so like every period I’d be drawing it,” Creighton, 17, said, following the official unveiling of her logo Wednesday, April 16, at Sir Robert Borden High school, where she attends Grade 12.

Superman was her inspiration, and once she had the idea, she was able to quickly bring it to life.

“It was different when I started it and then I just thought about flying, and then it came to me,” the Barrhaven resident said.

Her creation will be featured on merchandise ranging from plush teddy bears and hats to golf shirts and superhero capes, and will play an important role in helping the CHEO Foundation reach its goal to raise $6.8 million through the 31st telethon this year.

Last year, the telethon generated a record-breaking $6.7 million. The funds went in support of research into cancer, youth mental health and childhood obesity as well as purchasing specialized medical equipment at the pediatric hospital.

The logo contest has taken place for more than 15 years, but this year marks the first time students were given a theme to work with.

The superhero theme was

selected, and the slogan that now accompanies Creighton’s logo is “Be a superhero for kids.”

“Taylor just created this really fun design. He’s a flying bear. He represented being a superhero for CHEO and it was really great,” said Jaqueline Belsito, CHEO Foundation’s vice-president of philanthropy.

The contest is open to students in the hospital’s catchment area, from Kingston to western Quebec to Cornwall.

“We reach out to the community and to the youth to submit their designs and their interpretation of what would be fun and simple designs,” Belsito said following the event, which drew Max Keeping and CTV News anchor and telethon co-host Graham Richardson, as well as Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Coun.

Keith Egli, plus school board and CHEO Foundation officials.

Creighton’s accomplishment is the first time a student from Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean has taken top honours in the contest.

For her achievement, she was given a Samsung Tablet from Bell, which owns CTV. The company also presented the school with a $1,000 cheque, which is now earmarked for the school’s communications technology classes, in which Creighton crafted her design.

“We are very proud,” said school principal Wendy Verreault, adding that upwards of 25 of her students submitted logos to the contest. “She did a super job.”

The telethon happens June 7, from 7 to 11 p.m. and June 8, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. To order telethon merchandise, call the CHEO Foundation at 613-737-2780 or visit www. cheofoundation.com.

Barrhaven resident Taylor Creighton is all smiles after her logo design for the 2014 CHEO telethon was officially unveiled Wednesday, April 16. The 17-year-old student was the star of the celebration at Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean, where she attends Grade 12.

Home of the lost

Heartwood House hosts annual sale of leftover items lost on OC Transpo on May 3 Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A lot has changed since the OC Transpo lost and found opened in 2001.

For one thing, it receives far fewer CDs in need of being reunited with their owners. Walkmans have since been replaced on its shelves with iPods and smart phones.

“You can really see the cycle of technological development here,” said Moe Moloughney, executive director of Heartwood House.

The charity – and Moloughney – have presided over the discarded flotsam and jetsam found on buses and the OTrain since 2001, when the city showed “creativity” in partnering with Heartwood House to provide the lost -andfound. Instead of contracting the service to a company, Heartwood House is able to provide confidence-boosting

jobs and real-life testing for participants of its literacy programs.

Heartwood House embarked on the lost-and-found’s biggest change to date this winter when it moved to a new location at 404 McArthur Ave. That’s where the annual sale and auction of lost items will take place on Saturday, May 3 from noon until 2 p.m.

The sale will actually be held in the sanctuary of the Unitarian church next door because it has more space.

On offer will be a selection of electronics, instruments and other high-value items that have gone unclaimed for too long. Those items will be sold through silent auction.

Thousands of other things like books, umbrellas, Thermoses and bags will be priced for sale, most under $5.

“It’s lots of fun, Moloughney said. “It’s a great advan-

tage to scoop up a bargain.”

The items are what’s left behind from the 100 to 200 things left behind on the transit system each day.

Anyone searching for their lost items can contact Heartwood House at 613-563-4011 or lostandfound@heartwoodhouse.ca. or drop by starting at 8 a.m., but wait until the next day. Items are held

by OC Transpo security staff overnight until they can be delivered to Heartwood House for sorting the next day.

Then, Heartwood House members get to work registering the items onto forms.

Things of high value get entered into a computerized registry.

Each day has its own box, because that’s usually the easiest way to match people with what they lost – at first.

After a couple weeks, the detritus is sorted into boxes by type of stuff –gloves and

Heartwood House executive director Moe Moloughney stands among items lost on the OC Transpo system that end up at Heartwood House, where the lost-and-found is located. mittens, children’s toys, travel mugs, books and a surprisingly high number of full-to-thebrim backpacks. Bikes don’t come to Heartwood House – the police handle those – but the lost-and-found has been known to have a wheelchair or two.

Most things are kept for 31 days. Wallets, jewelry, cellphones and electronics get to hang around for two months in the hopes that someone will return for them.

But when they don’t, it goes into the annual sale.

While the charity does make some money from the sale – usually around $3,000 or $4,000 – it’s just as much about clearing out the up to 4,000 items that can accumulate over a busy winter of people losing their stuff.

While travelling around the city, those who live in Sandy Hill near the University of Ot-

tawa are the biggest culprits for losing things, Moloughney said – or at least, their stuff has the highest return rate. Residents of the east end, especially Vanier and Orleans, also seem to leave items on the bus at a higher rate than west-enders, she said.

Presto cards – now used for passes and payment on OC Transpo – are becoming a popular item in the lostand-found, Moloughney said.

Since the cards are transferrable and don’t have any identification on them, they can be hard to return. OC Transpso destroys most found Presto cards before they get to Heartwood House. If the card is registered, the balance is protected. But the cards can be returned if people find a way to put their name on their card or attach it to another ID. Cell phones are also becoming difficult to reunite

with their owners because of security features, Moloughney said. If a phone requires a code for access, lost-andfound staff can’t figure out who it belongs to or how to contact them. Many cell phones end up being recycled

by Think Recycle.

Heartwood House used to return about 80 per cent of cell phones that were found. Now that figure is at around 65 per cent, Moloughney said. She gets around eight to 10 cell phones a day.

Moloughney said it’s not the type or number of items lost that surprises her – it’s the number of items people turn in.

“That kind of kindess strikes me,” she said. “People call here expecting a 50-50 chance of kindness ... There is extraordinary kindness happening every day on our buses.”

Rail warning light to be added to Transitway

At the same time, Via issued a statement advising residents they will see increased activity around rail crossings in Barrhaven as more testing and repairs take place to get

The transit commission also received a report reinforcing OC Transpo’s policy of not requiring bus operators to stop at rail crossings that are not activated.

The recommendation was based on a review of a 30-year-old study presented to transit commissioners at a briefing on April 9.

The report from consultant MMM Group told the city it could actually expect a 17.4 per cent increase in collisions where trains hit OC Transpo buses if the city required buses to stop at all rail crossings. Factors include buses moving slower as they

Philips also reviewed the traffic speed limit in that section of the Transitway at Fallowfield Road and concluded the city’s speed limit of 50 km/h is acceptable, even though a 60 km/h speed limit would comply with the city’s policies.

Still, Philips said he could find no compelling reason to change the speed at this time, especially since the Transitway has fewer vehicles and therefore fewer opportunities for conflicts or collisions.

The city lowered the speed limit to

gear up from a stop, as well as the increased probability of stalling on the tracks.

The report also recommends that OC Transpo buses only use fully signalled rail crossings. As a result, the city will spend between $200,000 and $400,000 to add gates to four crossings that are currently signalled only with lights: Herzberg and March roads in Kanata and Lester and McCarthy roads in the city’s south end.

In Carp, the city is looking at potentially re-routing the once-weekly shopping bus, Route 203, to avoid the two unsignalized rail crossings on Carp and Donald B. Munro roads.

Currently, OC Transpo policy requires drivers to stop at those crossings and open the bus door to listen for oncoming trains.

OC Transpo buses regularly traverse 20 of the 75 rail crossings in the city.

What is the 2014 Zoning Review all about?

at Kanata north Physiotherapy, we specialize in treating: • Orthopedic & Musculoskeletal

Over 30 Zoning Reviews will take place throughout Ottawa in 2014.

Injuries • Neck and Back Pain • Sprains, Strains, Fractures • Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries • Migraines, Stress & Headaches • Sports Injuries • Posture Education • Acupuncture • Massage Therapy • Intramuscular Stimulation

Why? In 2013, City Council approved new Official Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. The 2014 Zoning Review will make that happen.

How? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. Things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities.

Things like building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy How will this affect me?

Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas.

BUSES WON’T STOP AT INACTIVE CROSSINGS

R0012657939-0424

News - The city hopes a new flashing light reminding OC Transpo drivers of rail tracks ahead will make the Transitway safer.

There is already a sign warning people of the rail crossing ahead at the site of a fatal collision that killed six people when an OC Transpo bus and Via train collided on Sept. 18.

OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said the warning light isn’t being recommended due to reports of rail signal malfunctions, but it could help transit users and operators feel safer.

“They said that adding the flashing light aids in improving the situation,” he said. “So yes, everything we can do to improve things in any location is a worthwhile investment.”

The new sign will be placed 210 metres before the rail crossing as bus drivers are headed northbound. There is a curve in that spot, so extra emphasis is warranted, said Christopher Philip, an engineer with a consultant group the city hired called CIMA. While Philip studied different options, including trying to connect the warning light with the rail signal so that it would go off in advance of or at the same time a train approached, he concluded the best option was to have the amber light flash continuously.

The situation is different in the southbound direction, Philip said.

No light is needed there.

“There are no factors that create a dilemma zone (in the southbound directions),” Philips said. “The two (directions) do not have to be the same.”

That move followed pressure from Mayor Jim Watson and federal politicians, including Ottawa WestNepean MP John Baird.

On April 10 Via announced trains would operate at a reduced speed through those six crossings and staff would be stationed at the rail crossings to “provide supplementary support” and ensure drivers stop at the crossings.

News - Drinking a morning cup of coffee, a sacred ritual for many Ottawa residents, could be doing more good than you think.

No, scientists haven’t infused the java with extra vitamins or found a way for it to whiten your teeth, unfortunately, but one some Ottawa businesses have found a way to turn your caffeine habit into a donation to the Ottawa School Breakfast Program.

The program, run by the Ottawa Network for Education, is working with Francesco’s Coffee, Thyme and Again, Creative Catering and Farm Boy to help provide nutritious breakfasts for 12,000 Ottawa children in 154 schools.

Additional amendments to correct errors in the Zoning By-law may be added to the report on a priority basis. The implementing by-law for in-stream Zoning By-law amendments where such amendments are reliant upon the policies in Official Plan Amendment 150, will not come into effect until such time as the applicable policies introduced by Official Plan Amendment 150 also come into effect.

Have your say before May 12, 2014 Submit your comments to Carol Ruddy no later than May 12, 2014. Comments will be considered in evaluating the proposed by-law and policy changes.

How do I get more information?

Attend this session and visit ottawa.ca/zoningreview for maps showing the review areas and other background information.

Francesco’s Community Breakfast Blend will be available at participating vendors over the next six months, including Farm Boy for a limited time.

Six dollars from the sale of each bag of Community Breakfast Blend sold will go directly towards the breakfast program, which needs to raise $500,000 in the community each year to operate.

“We’re grateful to the community for rallying together to help us meet this growing need – it shows the depth of care that we have for each other and our children as a city,” said McKinlay.

Ottawa Network for Education has been working in the community for the last 24 years to provide breakfasts to children in the region.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board.

“We know that breakfast programs make a difference,” said Carolyn Hunter, director of the breakfast program.

“Research shows that children who eat a nutritious breakfast are more engaged in daily learning, perform better in school and have better selfesteem and health.”

The program says it offers over two million meals a school year at the cost of about one dollar per breakfast.

“The demand for our program continues to grow every year,” said Kathy McKinlay, president & CEO of the Ottawa Network for Education, which also receives provincial and municipal funding. “We’ll be adding 15 new schools — that’s 200 new children to feed every day, by the end of this school year alone.”

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT Notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan amendment is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan amendment affects properties generally in the area south of Highway 417, north of Dows Lake, west of Rochester Street, and east of Bayswater AvenueBreezehill Avenue-Loretta Avenue, as shown in the figure below.

Nigel Harris holds a portable phone charger at Powerstick.com’s Nepean facility. This particular phone charger is new to Powerstick’s lineup and allows Bluetooth speakers to play music while the phone charges.

Nepean company charging its way onto high-tech scene Jeff Mackey

jeff.mackey@metroland.com

News - Nepean isn’t known worldwide, or even in Ottawa, for its high-tech startups. But Silicon Valley and Kanata beware; Nepean is making headway in the industry.

“It is very attractive for us, we need somewhere that is zoned for manufacturing as well as offices and warehouses,” said Nigel Harris, founder and CEO of Powerstick.com.

The company, which currently has 25 employees, produces eight different types of portable power chargers for cell phones. These charges range in size and uses, and can also include portable memory, Bluetooth speakers and solar panels.

The company is now shipping its chargers worldwide all from their Nepean location, where they design, engineer, manufacture, brand and package their products.

“I would say 80 per cent of our staff are from Barrhaven,” said Harris. “Transportation is no problem and we have a great source of employees, they are all very well qualified.”

The company has found much of its success, not in the retail market, but by branding these devices for corporations who wish to get their name out. Clients include the Discovery Chan-

nel, Ford, Ebay and the U.S military, to name a few.

Since being founded in 2011, Powerstick has been growing. They currently occupy a building on Camelot Drive as well as a second on nearby Bentley Avenue. They could occupy another Nepean building as early as August as expansion continues.

“We do intend on staying in this area,” said Harris, who claims Nepean suits his business park needs well.

“Everything is done here,” said Harris. “You would be amazed at how many people are doing what behind these walls in terms of putting together this product.”

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

One of Powerstick’s largest customers is the U.S. military which liked Powerstick for involvement in its “electronic soldier” initiative.

Harris says the combination of external memory and charging capability is one of the company’s most valuable patents.

“And because our technology is all patented we attracted the attention of the U.S. military.”

Going into the future, the company is looking to pump up its retail credentials and will soon allow people who visit their website to personally brand Powersticks with their own images or photos for home delivery.

The Carlington Community Health Centre recently received $4.8 million in provincial funds aimed at upgrading the 900 Merivale Rd. facility in order to provide better service to local residents.

Carlington Community Health Centre receives provincial cash $4.8 million earmarked for building upgrades, health partnership with OCH Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - The provincial government will be donating $4.8 million to the Carlington Community Health Centre to bolster services to local residents.

The funding was announced on April 14 by Deb Matthews, minister of Health and LongTerm Care. The cash will go towards upgrades at the centre, helping staff deliver patient care in a more efficient manner, but would also help forge a health partnership between the centre and an Ottawa Community Housing development proposed nearby.

In 2011, Ottawa Community Housing and the health centre forged an agreement to build a 70-unit residential development with a medical clinic and social services hub located on the

first floor. That project would be built on spare land owned by the health centre on Merivale Road.

Matthews was joined by Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Charelli and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, all of whom touted the benefits of having access to health care close to home.

The centre offers “important health and social services that are tailored to the needs of the residents of our community,” Naqvi said in a media release.

Among the programs offered at the CCHC is a breastfeeding support program, part of the province’s Healthy Kids Strategy. That program offers assistance and information to new mothers.

The health centre’s executive director Cameron Macleod stated the funding will help the centre fulfil its mandate of “building a healthier community … with an emphasis on helping the most vulnerable citizens.”

The Carlington centre, like other community health centres in Ontario, operates as a nonprofit entity designed to provide primary health care and health programming to the local community.

Police rescue woman from Rideau River Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police rescued a woman who jumped in the Rideau River at Cummings Bridge downtown on April 14 around 9 p.m.

Police officers were the first to respond and tried to talk to the woman before she jumped off the bridge into the fast-moving water, said acting Insp. Glenn Wasson.

“They attempted to engage the female in conversation,” he said. “After about a minute of conversation or lack thereof, the female decided to jump into the river.”

The water was flowing north, so police moved towards the St. Patrick Bridge, looking for the female and using lighting that was set up by the Ottawa fire department. She was

spotted alive in the water 10 minutes later, floating towards the St. Patrick Bridge.Cst. Colin Bowie then removed the back seat of the police cruiser, which is designed by the manufacturer to be used as an emergency flotation device, and jumped into the water.

“Cst. Bowie made a split second decision to jump into the water using the rear seat of the police cruiser and was able to save the female,” Wasson said. “It’s a very heroic decision that he made.”

Getting out of the water, Bowie was assisted by two other police officers at the scene, Cst. Pat Lafrenière and Cst. Kristina Correa. They went into the water to assist Bowie and the female, who had hypothermia.

“Anytime you’re doing a rescue like that, it’s dangerous,

The young woman was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where she recovered from hypothermia and was connected with medical personnel. Police would only have rescue operations like this about every two or three years, police said. About an hour later, a female officer responded to a female threatening to jump off the Somerset Bridge, the pedestrian bridge between Colonel By Drive and the Queen Elizabeth Parkway.

The officer was able to speak with the female and calm her down before the incident escalated.

“It just highlights a lot of excellent work,” Wasson said.

“Having two calls back-toback in such a short period is exceptional.”

Emergency planning is crucial for those with special needs News - While disasters and emergencies affect everyone, the impact on people with special needs is often compounded by their reliance on electrical power, elevators, and accessible transportation – all of which can be compromised in emergency situations.

Public Safety Canada offers these tips for seniors and people with special needs: • Create a personal support network of at least three people that can help you in an emergency situation.

Ensure they are aware of your needs, such as prescription medication and how to operate any special needs equipment.

• Make an emergency contact list with the names and phone numbers of your personal support network, doctors, neighbours, etc.

Keep a copy of this list handy and share it with your support network.

• Familiarize yourself with all escape routes and location of emergency doors and exits in your home.

• Have a panic button installed in the building where you work or live so that in the event of an emergency you can notify others of your whereabouts and that you need assistance.

• Create a basic emergency kit. A list of kit items is available at www.GetPrepared.ca.

• Tailor your kit to meet your needs. You may wish to include things such as: special devices like canes, walkers, lightweight manual wheelchairs, hearing aids, breathing apparatus, blood glucose monitoring device, plus food and other important items for your pet or service animal.

• Extra supply of medications (if possible)

and vitamin supplements.

• List of all medical supplies and equipment related to your age or medical condition.

• Copies of all medication prescriptions.

• Extra dentures (if required) and cleaner.

Paying it forward as easy as opening a door Scouts challenge Canadians to do good deeds during Good Turn Week Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - Sarah Djuric knows first hand that paying it forward doesn’t just benefit others.

“Personally, I do feel it really does stay with you,” the 16-year-old said of the feeling she gets when she performs random acts of kindness for family members, neighbours or strangers. “It gives you a really big sense of fulfillment.”

It’s a message the Elmvale resident has learned and benefited from during her five years in Scouts, thanks to Scouts Canada’s annual Good Turn Week, which happens this year from April 26 to May 4.

The nine-day event, which spans the country, is a call to action in which Scouts challenge Canadians to do one good turn for others and ask the recipients to pay it forward.

Good Turn Week is now in its fifth year, and scouting members of all ages, from Beavers to Rovers, continue to think up different ways of performing good deeds.

“Last year I made a point of holding 100 doors open through the week,” said Djuric, whose desire to give back extends beyond Scouts to her involvement as a Grade 11 student council representative at Hillcrest High School.

“Some people noticed and said thank you,” she said of the reaction she received, adding that others will simply walk by.

Regardless of the response, Djuric said she enjoys doing nice things for others, whether it’s holding doors open or raking her neighbours’ leaves.

“It does make you feel good even if the person doesn’t appreciate it (vocally) as much as someone else does,” explained Djuric, who is in the Venturer level of Scouts.

To further mark Good Turn Week, Scouts Canada is funding 12 largescale service projects across Canada and beyond, from sprucing up a service club’s building and food drives to making care packages for the homeless and renovating a school’s kitchen in Mexico.

See GOOD, page 51

Good deeds can have a huge impact Continued from page 49

But small-scale efforts can also make a huge impact on someone’s day, said Djuric said, adding that a recent York University study showed that the positive feeling that comes receiving a random act of kindness can stay with a person for six months.

“It could be holding the door for someone or buying a coffee for someone behind you in line,” she said. “I’ve had people buy me a coffee. It’s really cool. It makes you feel really good.”

In fact, she’s been in line when another customer ahead of her at the cash has purchased coffees for the next 10 people.

She said she could never fathom the idea of not giving up her seat on a public transit bus to a senior, someone who is pregnant, or anyone in need.

“It should be, ‘I want to do this,’” she said.

A survey done last year on behalf of Scouts Canada looked at how often Canadians do good deeds for others and determined that 51 per cent of Canadians benefit from good turns at least once a month. However, only 20 per cent of Canadians are the recipients of a good turn twice a week or more.

Djuric is hoping to change that statistic for several people in her Elmvale community in the coming days.

Her 18-member Venturer group is

currently in the process of planning a clothing drive that will happen during Good Turn Week. They will be putting up posters to advertise their campaign and making donation boxes available so that others can drop off their used children’s and women’s clothing. Everything collected will be given to a women’s shelter in the city.

Scouts Canada touts the many benefits that can result from doing kind acts for others, from building stronger communities to youth empowerment to improved mental health.

This is why good turns shouldn’t just happen one week of the year, Djuric said.

Last May, she and other members

of her 101st Ottawa scouting troop, plus their parents, spent one day planting about 100 saplings in a Kilborn Avenue park.

Thanks to Good Turn Week, Scouts of every age, from the very young to those in their late teens, are learning important lessons about giving back that will stay with them for years to come, said Djuric.

“You forget that you’re doing good deeds because it comes naturally after a while.”

The public is encouraged to share their good deeds during Good Turn Week by submitting them to scouts. ca/goodturn, tweeting them using #goodturn or posting them on the Scouts Canada Facebook page.

Residents launch Crime Prevention Vanier michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Although crime rates in Vanier have declined, residents in Vanier are still taking crime prevention seriously.

A group of neighbours in the community have launched Crime Prevention Vanier, in an effort to keep crime prevention and reporting in the forefront of the public mind.

“I wondered if there was more that could be done that focused specifically on crime prevention and reporting,” said Lucie Marleau, who is leading the charge.

Along with other residents, Marleau met with RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Vanier community police officer Jacques Carriere to discuss the initiatives the group wanted to start.

Crime Prevention Ottawa launched Together for Vanier in 2007, which sparked a surge of residents becoming involved in the community.

The result was a community association and a beautification committee, which today continue to operate and garner interest from new and long-time residents alike.

In 2012, Crime Prevention Ottawa announced it would be pulling its support from Vanier so it could focus on other areas of the city. At the time, the crime rate had significantly declined and reporting crimes was at a steady increase. There were a number of neighbourhood watches in operation and the community association and the beautification committee had created strong relationships with its community police officer and the area’s city councillor.

The hope, Crime Preven-

tion Ottawa said at the time, was that residents would continue to work in a crime prevention capacity.

For awhile, the association and beautification continued to operate specific committees and outings related to dealing with crime.

Beautification continued to hold its weekly Eyes on Vanier walkabouts in the spring and summer where walkers would meet up, walk the neighbourhood and report crimes they saw in progress.

The association created a health and safety committee, to address residents concerns.

Only because of lack of crime, and interest, Beautification cancelled the walkabouts last year.

With the new Crime Prevention Vanier, Marleau said the return of Eyes on Vanier walkabouts will take on a double duty -- crime prevention and social walks --and hopefully garner more interest from residents.

“When the walkabout was first created, ‘walkaboos’ could hardly go two blocks without reporting some mischief or infraction to OPS or 311,” Marleau said.

“As less and less reporting was needing to be done, we focused the walkabout on other things like picking up trash, themed and destination walks, and distributing event flyers.

The aim of Eyes on Vanier Walkabout 2014 will be determined by the walkaboos who show up. It is not a structured walkabout with a specific objective. Those who show up will determine together what they want to do, where they want to walk.”

It will offer residents an

opportunity to generate a sense of belonging, allowing them to get to know its many cool nooks and crannies of the area, Marleau added.

“That said, I’m hopeful that the walkabout will have a crime reporting lens,” she said.

The first walk will take place on May 29 at 7 p.m. in Marier Park.

Aside from the re-launch of the walkabouts, the new group will launch three other initiatives: • A new community resource guide - a resource guide for new residents being developed by the Vanier Community Service Centre in partnership with the Vanier Community Association and Embellissement Vanier Beautification • The Light your Porch campaign - residents will be encouraged to leave their front porch light on at night for added safety in the neighbourhood. Low energy light bulbs have been donated to Crime Prevention Vanier by Envirocentre. The project will be promoted at community events taking place in the summer • Neighbourhood Watch A renewed focus on Vanier’s Neighbourhood Watch programs. In collaboration with the Vanier Community Police Centre, Crime Prevention Vanier will raise awareness of the benefits of the program, giving tools and resources to current watches in Vanier and looking for opportunities to create new ones.

Marleau said she would like to see all of Vanier covered by watches.

“It’s really much easier than people suppose,” she said. “Vanier is only one

Other ways to help keep Vanier safe is to report suspicious behaviour or activity, graffiti, broken sidewalks,

City’s efforts to fight homelessness gets mixed grades Not much has changed in past decade: lobby group Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Alliance to End Homelessness says the city needs to work hard if it wants to get its grades up to end homelessness.

The alliance released its tenth progress report on April 15 at the Sandy Hill Community Centre, stating that not much has changed in the past decade since the group, which represents homeless organizations across the city, began grading the city.

“It’s a mixed picture of progress,” said Tim Aubry, a University of Ottawa professor who compared this year’s report to the one report released in 2004.

“It’s virtually unchanged,” he said.

“When you look at affordability, the dial has not moved in the past 10 years. Rents continue to rise faster than people’s income.”

The alliance’s executive director Mike Bulthuis agreed with Aubry, stating there is still much work to do but there was also some good news.

“Though progress in some areas over the past decade has been slow, at the same time there is reason to hope,” Bulthuis said.

“Our community is rich with knowledge on how to prevent and

end homelessness. Efforts have been bolstered since 2011 by the city’s annual $14 million Housing and Homelessness Investment Plan.”

According to the report, the city scored an “A” for the decline of individuals spending time in emergency shelters.

According to the report, the target the alliance set last year was for the city to reduce the number of people seeking and staying in emergency shelters by 500.

In total 548 fewer people used shelters in 2013.

The alliance also reviewed the length people stay at a shelter.

A total of 6,705 people stayed at a shelter in the past year.

The alliance’s target for reducing the length of stay was three days per year, but in average people were found to stay in a shelter for at least four days.

“Longer shelter stays reflect an extreme shortage of affordable housing opportunities in the community,” the report states.

“Particularly for larger families needing larger units and for single individuals needing homes with supports.”

The city received an “F” for length of stay.

Bulthuis, who took over the role of executive director just last November, said the results may reflect poorly on the city, but it is not only the city that is responsible.

“To be successful we will need all levels of government to work together,” he said.

In an effort to help the cause, a group of Westboro men have organized an annual luncheon aimed at raising $20,000 for the alliance and two of its members, Operation Come Home and St. Luke’s Table.

The city has adopted a 10year end homelessness plan, the Home for Everyone, which aims at ending homelessness in this city in the next 10 years; something the alliance believes is possible if everyone does manage to work together.

“Now is the time to sustain and enhance our investments, reducing long-term costs to the public purse, and restoring dignity for all of our neighbours,” said Tim Simboli, chairman of the alliance. “To achieve the results we want, we need to do more in the short-term, to get ahead for the longterm.”

“It helps out a lot, which is wonderful,” Coe said.

The event will take place on May 10 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Oriental Chu Shing Restaurant on Somerset Street.

Tickets are $100 for adults, $50 for students or $300 for a family of four and $1,000 for tables of 10.

Tax receipts for a portion of the ticket will be available. The luncheon will have nine people sit at a table for 10 with the tenth individual a board member or staff member from one of the organizations receiving the funds.

Henderson said in the past, these events have been well attended.

“This is something that people can bring their whole family, it really is engaging and have found the event is incredibly social, really, the biggest challenge is getting people to sit down and eat,” he said.

Pineview residents Lynn Lau and Heather Scott, who have been organizing the event, first met at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum.

The two moms discovered they both lived in Pineview and their conversation soon turned to their community.

Both said they felt the neighbourhood lacked community-focused events and activities.

Lau said the presence of a community association would help improve that and make residents come together.

Both moms said they would like to see local play groups or classes offered, perhaps initiated by the association.

Currently, the two have frequented other communities to fill the gap, including attending playgroups in Blackburn Hamlet and going to the Gloucester North Branch library -- a 45 minute walk from their home.

“We just want to have something close that we can walk,” Scott said.

The result was the two of them launching the Pineview Community Association in the living room of one of their homes.

Now the two are looking to make it official and hold a meeting to both gain local interest and board members for the association to officially take off.

The meeting will be a chance

R0012653245

Community association to host first meeting for the association to fill out, Lau said.

“We are looking for other board members: secretary, treasurer, and directors,” Lau said.

The agenda is still being finalized, but the goals for the evening will be to vote on board positions and ratify the board’s constitution.

A draft of the association’s constitution is available: https:// docs.com/1279Q. The results of a survey Lau and Scott created and posted in February will also be revealed.

Lau said there is still time for residents to complete the survey: surveymonkey.com/s/577B535.

The evening will wrap up by 9 p.m. Lau said.

Ottawa Public Library considers offering Netflix-like service Library looking to offer streaming online videos Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Streaming online video could be the next thing offered by the public library.

Library staff is currently researching the option of adding streaming video, like what’s available on YouTube or Netflix, to the library’s digital holdings. It would make thousands of videos, films and music albums available to anyone with an Ottawa Public Library card and a computer, smart phone or tablet device.

It’s a service that’s picking up steam in the library world thanks to companies like Hoopla Indieflix and OverDrive, said Craig Ginther, manager of technology services for the library.

The Toronto Public library added Hoopla’s streaming collection to its catalogue in early April, making 10,000 films and 250,000 music albums available to its users. In Toronto, library users are limited to five Hoopla loans per month.

About 130 North American cities offer the streaming service, includ-

ing libraries in Hamilton, Guelph, Edmonton and Victoria.

The possibility of streaming videos was just one of the technology initiatives Ginther highlighted in his update to the library board on April 14.

The library is continuously expanding its digital offerings, including the quiet launch of a French-language e-book section within the last two weeks, Ginther said.

The library is hoping to better integrate its digital offerings to make it easier for library users to find what they’re looking for. Instead of having separate digital catalogues for printed books, English e-books and French e-books, the library will use APIs (application programming interfaces) to link those overlapping systems so they can be managed and viewed as one catalogue.

In the next two months, library users will also start to see user recommendations added to the online catalogue at biblioottawalibrary.ca. The recommendations will be powered through Bookish, an online, usergenerated recommendation engine.

Ginther said he’s also keeping his eye on how devices like Apple’s iBeacon transmitter might be used to push messages directly to the cell phones of library users when they’re

André Bergeron, vice-chairman of Ottawa’s public library board, checks out one of two 3D printers that will be available in the new ‘makerspace’ in the Centrepointe library branch. in a branch.

The technology, which Ginther said is not currently used in libraries, could also be used to track which library branches and services users take advantage of.

The issue of privacy and security for customers will be the top concern if Ottawa’s public library ever decides to investigate the possibility of using indoor positioning system

transmitters.

After the meeting board members got a sneak peek of the new “makerspace” at the Centrepointe branch, which was set to open to the public on April 23. The centre, called Imagine Space: An American Corner, offers members of the public access to technology and tools needed to manufacture and create prototypes, products and videos. Two 3D printers, a

3D scanner, a laser cutter, a video camera and three Mac Pro computers with Adobe Creative Suite, including video editing software will be available in the makerspace thanks to a funding partnership with the U.S. embassy’s American Corners project.

Almonds and herbs make a tantalizing dip Sauce compliments fresh veggies News - This guilt-free dip from the Almond Board of California is the perfect partner for fresh vegetables like baby carrots, cherry tomatoes and zucchini slices.

Using low-fat yogurt and crunchy roasted almonds, you can customize your own herb combination.

Fresh almond-herb dip

Makes six servings Ingredients • 2 cups (500 mL) plain, low-fat yogurt • One 10- to 12-inch square of cheesecloth and one large rubber band • ½ cup (125 mL) slivered almonds, roasted • 5 tbsp (75 mL) chopped fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, dill, chives, chervil, basil and tarragon) • 1 green onion, trimmed and diced • 1/4 tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper • 4-6 cups (1-1.5L) fresh vegetables for dipping, such as radishes, baby carrots, trimmed green beans, broccoli florets, or strips of zucchini, jicama or bell pepper Directions If desired, thicken yogurt by lining a medium-sized bowl with cheesecloth. Wrap cheesecloth edges around outside of bowl and secure with rubber band.

Pull cheesecloth edges to leave some space between

cheesecloth and bottom of bowl for liquid to drip and collect.

Place yogurt in cheesecloth bowl and allow liquid to drip out for 30 minutes, refrigerated.

Discard liquid.

Combine yogurt, almonds, herbs, green onion, salt and pepper in a bowl. Serve with fresh vegetables.

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essential to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not infinite.

A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over time your soil can become nutrient deficient, compacted or thin which can make it difficult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent tilth, allowing for easy air and water flow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients.

How can you take a tired, dull soil and turn it into a great soil?

This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic matter. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with existing soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal time to introduce organic matter into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneficial microorganisms in your soil more time to become active before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some time for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our flower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

You can customize your dip with your own herb combination. mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes particles of different sizes and shapes. This results in improved airflow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compaction. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water retention; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can still get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real difference in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6” soil depth (pro tip – top off your growing areas with 2” of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or better yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - till or turn over the existing soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consisting of black earth, organic fertilizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial activity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the first step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the difference.

Teach youngsters love of books to set stage for life News - Reading is an important life-long skill — and developing strong reading habits from an early age sets the stage for life.

“While we know that it’s important for young children

to have strong reading skills, getting kids to embrace reading is not always as simple,” says Nick Whitehead, founder and CEO of Oxford Learning.

Fortunately, there are several strategies that parents can

take to help their kids improve both their love of reading and their reading skills.

According to Dr. Whitehead, the number one thing that parents can do to improve their child’s reading ability is

to simply make books available in the home and to have a regular reading time. He also suggests some other simple ideas to encourage reading, such as going to the library together, reading books together

as a family, reading a book series, or listening to audio books in the car.

For parents who have tried all the basic tips and still have difficulty getting their children to embrace reading, Dr.

Whitehead suggests that parents of older children give their kids banned books or let them read above their skill level.

The goal tied the game against Minnesota at 1-1 but the visitors scored in extra time to take a 2-1 victory in front of a sell-out crowd. The Fury will play at Carleton University until TD Place is completed in July.

The next home game is April 26 at 3 p.m. versus the Carolina Railhawks.

Kanata man has high hopes for Fury’s inaugural season Tyler Follett

tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports - Kenny Caceros headed into the Ottawa Fury FC’s preason training camp hoping to make a good impression.

The midfielder, a Kanata native, was playing on a trial basis for four weeks with the soccer club.

“I came in every day not knowing if it was my last or not,” he said.

Caceros was announced as the team’s final signing just before the start of the last home preseason game against his alma mater, Syracuse University on March 29.

“It was such a relief, now I can shift my focus from just making the team to actually finding my spot on it.”

Growing up, Caceros played soccer in Kanata, and for one year in south Nepean.

When he was 14 years old, he joined the Fury in 2003, playing for the club’s Youth Academy.

“I loved growing up in Ottawa, it’s been nothing but good times,” he said.

Playing for the Fury meant travelling to play games in the United States in the Super Y league, which brought Caceros exposure to scouts.

Coaches at Syracuse University liked his game, and offered him an athletic scholarship.

“Everything just sort of fell into place,” said Caceros.

During his time at Syracuse, he would return home to Ottawa for the summers, playing for the club’s development team.

Caceros began his professional career in Ottawa with Capital City FC of the Canadian Soccer League.

After a year with the team, he made the jump to the North American Soccer League, signing with FC Edmonton, already the Fury’s biggest rivalry in the league.

While with Edmonton, he played in a Canadian Championship game at BC Place against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

“It was a fantastic environment, playing 90 minutes at BC Place with 18,000 people,” said Caceros.

“It was huge and a really

great experience.”

Caceros is looking forward to playing his former team in this year’s Canadian Championship.

The winner of the yearly tournament that pits the Canadian professional soccer teams against each other gains automatic entry into the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football Champions League, which means additional games, experience, exposure and revenue.

Opening the tournament against Edmonton is sure to be extra motivation for Caceros, who will have bragging rights on the line.

FC Edmonton defender Edson Edward and Caceros grew up playing together for the Fury, and even spent a short time as teammates in Edmonton.

“He’s one of my best friends I grew up playing against,” said Caceros.

“There will definitely be a lot of banter around that game between me and him, there already is.”

Caceros is a versatile player, able to play a number of positions, which helps him secure more playing time on the team.

Central midfield is his preference, but since joining the professional ranks, Caceros has become an adept defender, playing everything from left and right back to centre back.

It means more playing time, and more opportunities to help the team.

“At Edmonton I got experience playing right and left back, here I’m getting some experience playing centre back,” he said.

“I’m comfortable with the ball, (I’m) technically strong, which maybe helps when playing multiple positions.”

Caceros said his experience playing pro soccer has helped teach him to read the game better.

Fury head coach Dos Santos said he wants to take advantage of Caceros’ versatility and use him as both as a defender and a midfielder.

“We want to find another position for Kenny because of his characteristics, we feel he

Fury players visit brightens schoolchildren’s day Tyler Follett

tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports - Ottawa Fury FC players Carl Haworth and Hamza Elias were joined by the team’s unnamed mascot as they paid a visit to Blossom Park Elementary School.

Students made the players feel welcome at the school, giving them a raucous reception in the school’s gym.

The two spoke of topics like how to handle with bullying as well as the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity.

Haworth shared his experiences of getting cut by Canadian national youth teams a number of times.

He never gave up, eventually making the under-23 team that nearly qualified for the Olympics and posted an upset win over a strong United States team.

“These things are a lot of fun,” said Haworth.

The Barrie-native then demonstrated some fancy footwork, giving the students the show they wanted.

Before introducing Elias, students were asked to narrow down where his country of birth is.

In no time at all, students correctly identified Ghana as an African country.

The 20 year-old joined the team in March, getting his first taste of Canadian winter, even if it is during a time most are preparing for spring.

Elias spoke of coming to a new, unfamiliar country and getting comfortable with his surroundings.

The biggest adjustment may just be on the field, as the team braved sub-zero temperatures, harsh winds and rain during their first week of training at Keith Harris Stadium at Carleton

The buzz is huge, I hear we’re expecting a sellout ... That’ll be good for the atmosphere there, we really need the fans to back us and it’s been great so far.

Carl Haworth Ottawa Fury FC player

Near the end of the day, the Fury mascot joined the fun in front of the crowd.

Students were suddenly stretching out to try to get a piece of him in the form of a high five.

The team accepted submissions for the naming of the mascot, with the winner yet to be announced.

Students left the gym chanting for the Fury, Tyler Follett/Metroland with the excitement high ahead of their home Ottawa Fury FC’s Carl Haworth shows off his technical ability with the ball as he balances opener. it on his head. Students at Blossom Park Elementary School were treated to a visit from “The buzz is huge, I hear we’re expecting a Haworth and Hamza Elias as they shared their stories of overcoming adversity. sellout,” said Haworth.

“It can be very dangerous and difficult training in this kind of cold weather,” said Elias.

“It’s not easy but we’re trying.”

The players explained how every student is an important part of the school team, as well as with friends.

Jen Frechette is surrounded by family after crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon in 2011. She ran in the marathon this year on April 22.

Greely teacher runs second Boston Marathon Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Jen Frechette said if a year goes by without her running a marathon, she starts to get the itch.

Frechette, a resident of Greely and a teacher at Jockvale Elementary ran the Boston Marathon on April 22. It was her second time completing the 42-kilometre course.

“I am really excited,” she said before she left for the run in Bean Town. “This will be the eighth marathon for me. And when you finish Boston you feel like a hero.”

Frechette has been training since January.

She said this year’s heavy snowfall and colder temps made the training frustrating.

“I run every Sunday and there’s been times where it’s snowing again or freezing again and it’s frustrating, but you know you have to train or you won’t be ready for Boston. It’s a very tough course.”

She said she remembers training last year in -39 Celsius.

“Everyone thought we looked like crazy

people,” she said.

Frechette runs 30 to 36 kilometres every Sunday with a group from the Running Room.

She also trains by using free weights and spin class.

Frechette said she started running in high school and now she is addicted.

“I stopped running when I had my first daughter but I was at it again by the time she was 10 months,” she said, adding it was basically the same with her second.

Frechette ran the New York marathon in the fall, it was the first marathon following the bombing in Boston and she said there was a different feel.

“There were a lot of police and security, it was quite amazing,” she said.”I have a feeling Boston is going to have a different feel this year too.”

Frechette said her family will likely be glad when she is done running for the season. Her husband, daughters and her parents will be on the sidelines in Boston cheering her on – and hopefully meeting her at the finish line.

“It’s going to be very exciting,” she said.

Sports - After a hard-fought battle through increasingly competitive playoff rounds, the Ottawa West Golden Knights met their match in Game 7 against Casselman, losing 3-2 in double overtime on April 14.

The down-to-the-wire loss dashed the Knights’ playoff hopes, leaving Casselman on the road to the Don Johnson Memorial Cup. Injuries had been a problem for the Knights during the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League playoffs, however, the team played strong in spite of this, staging a 4-2 series victories over both the Ottawa Canadians and the Almonte Thunder in earlier playoff rounds.

Going into the series against Casselman, head coach Steve Sundin was wary of the opposing team’s impressive record so far that season. Up to that point, Casselman had only lost two games in regulation all year.

The Golden Knights were victorious in games 2, 3 and 4, but that momentum slipped away before that nail-biter loss.

If you’re currently on course, recently licensed, considering a change of careers, you will wish to attend.

Canadians playing hockey in minor leagues, one can’t deny the national sport’s popularity.

With almost 24,000 players last year and close to 34,000 this year, the atoMc and ÉquipeMcDo programs are thriving in ice rinks across Canada.

Launched last year by McDonald’s Canada and endorsed by Hockey Canada, atoMc Hockey and Équipe Mcdo support atom teams around the country and bantam teams in Quebec respectively.

The programs go beyond traditional sponsorships by providing players with pro-style jerseys and socks while stressing the importance of teamwork.

Thousands of teams across Canada have benefited from atoMc Hockey and Équipe McDo, like the Waterloo Minor Hockey League.

“Over and above the sport, hockey has an impact on our youth’s lives.

We want to teach them teamwork, collaboration, perseverance and discipline. Since being part of the atoMc Hockey program, our players have developed a strong sense of pride and teamwork, which are evident in the performance on the ice, as well as at school. When we met with them again at the beginning of this year’s season, these skills and their enthusiasm were still there,” said Adam Elliott, a coach from the Waterloo Minor Hockey league.

The atoMc Hockey and Équipe McDo programs have also given some lucky teams the chance to meet with program ambassadors, Olympic gold medallists Drew Doughty (LA Kings), Marc-André Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Tessa Bonhomme (Canadian Women’s Olympic Team).

“Hockey has taught me a lot about the value of teamwork and it’s great to see so many kids playing the game and learning what it means to be a part of a team,” said Drew Doughty.

Heritage homes on the move

The National Capital Commission-owned houses at 273, 275, 277 and 279 Sussex Drive are on the move as workers prepare to move the buildings a few metres back on the property in order to widen the roadway. Members of the Lowertown community fought to keep the homes, one of which was former governor general Adrienne Clarkson’s childhood home, from being demolished. Sussex reconstruction work began this spring and will continue until late fall, as the city replaces water mains, sanitary and storm sewers along the road. The reconstruction is part of the plan to complete the NCC’s ceremonial route, Confederation Boulevard. The road project will involve widening the road in certain sections to accommodate cycling lanes in addition to the current four vehicle lanes and repaving and landscaping along the drive will occur in the spring of 2015.

Children can reap many benefits from playing video games • Video games teach problem solving and decision making.

Gaming isn’t a mindless activity – it’s the opposite. Video games get kids to think and require constant input from the player.

Instead of passively absorbing information from a TV show or movie, your child is actively

engaged in logical thinking and decision making.

• Video games are social.

Years ago gaming was a solitary activity, but due to the Internet, gamers can now play and create together.

For example, games like LittleBigPlanet 2 encourage play-

ers to create their own levels to share and play with other gamers around the world.

• Video games provide positive reinforcement. The activity encourages children to improve their skills, and then this improvement is rewarded by advancing in the game. Learning

the importance of practice and discipline will help kids during school and other hobbies.

• Video games build teamwork.

Most are now designed with cooperative play options.

Whether it’s solving puzzles together, or being on the same

hockey team, video games give kids a number of different ways to constructively work together.

• Video games bring families together. If you’re not sure how to play, give your child the opportunity to teach you.

News - It’s easy to think that the time your kids spend playing video games is time wasted, but a closer look at the skills your child is learning might prove that thought wrong.

Here are five reasons why your kids will benefit from being gamers:

News - The Gloucester Fair is changing its name and its dates.

The fair’s board of directors announced the date change in February, moving from four days in May to 10 days in late August.

Because the board was attempting to reflect the more regional nature of the fair, they held a contest to find a new name. The winner was Kenny Duplessis, from North Bay, Ont. “We had more than 500 entries,” Bloom said. “And we ended up learning some things.”

One of the suggestions was Silly Billy, a nod to Prince William Frederick, the Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh.

Fair President Maurice Lafortune said The Capital Fair was the most welcoming title.

“With our massive midway, great kids program and exciting adult programming we are so looking forward to 10 days of wall to wall fun,” Lafortune said.

Bloom said the midway is twice the size of previous years, with a lot more adult rides.

There are also plans for an extra monster truck show, a horse pull, western barrel races, a craft show and a whole pet area.

“We really want to highlight the agriculture nature of the fair, because of the new timing,” Bloom said, adding there will be more surprises to come before opening day.

Originally started as an offshoot of the City of Gloucester’s parks and recreation department, the fair started in the parking lot of the Earl Armstrong Arena on Ogilvie Road, nearly three decades ago. The fair board is a working one and Lafortune said members can be found throughout the fairgrounds driving fence spikes into the ground or pitching in wherever else they’re needed. It was moved to

the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 1997 largely because it had outgrown its home.

Bloom said the board began to consider taking over the late-August dates a few years ago when the Super Ex was suspended in 2011.

“We are not looking to take over for the Ex,” Bloom said.

Bloom said the Gloucester fair will still maintain its smaller, regional fair feel, despite the extended timelines and addition of more rides and attractions.

Lowertown recognizes its volunteers Group aims to make event annual \Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Lowertown Community Association started its April 14 meeting on a pleasant note, offering a big thank you to all its volunteers.

The association said it was high time the group gave a big thank

you to all those who help make the community a great place to live, especially since the meeting was held during volunteer week.

“Everyone in the room deserves a big thank you,” said Vera Etches, a community association board member who organized the event, adding it’s evident all the volunteers’ hard work helps make the community a better place.

From delivering the local neighborhood newsletter, to helping out with shoveling the community skating rink, the level of participation in the community is excep-

tional and worth taking the time to recognize, said Etches.

The event offered a simple reward to the community’s volunteers: just coffee and snacks, but the gesture was genuine, one the association said it aims to do more often.

“We haven’t done this in the past, but I think we should try and have some socializing time,” Etches said.

The association also used the meeting as an opportunity to recruit more volunteers; an extra set of hands are needed to help a re-

cently created committee plan for Canada’s 150th birthday.

“We want to start having discussions about Lowertown’s heritage, how we can improve and our legacy,” said planning committee chairwoman Sylvie Grenier.

“We’ve all been talking about this over the years but never focused on it. This will be an opportunity to do that.”

For more information about the new committee or to find out how to volunteer for the Lowertown Community Association email info@lowertown.ca.

SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM

Includes 200 ft of outdoor burial speaker cable

$2788.00 LIMITED TIME OFFER!

The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM raises the bar of outdoor entertainment; featuring eight small satellite speakers that are evenly, yet discreetly, distributed throughout garden beds in addition to a belowground subwoofer, which disperses bass from a canopy hidden under the foliage. This results in high quality, crystal clear sound that is the perfect volume throughout the entire back yard.

The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM eliminates problematic loud areas that can make conversation difficult while at the same time addressing quiet areas where you can barely hear the music. Due to the nature of the setup all of the speakers face inwards causing all sound to be contained within your back yard, so your neighbours will love it as well!

Community rallies to build school playground Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - At the mention of monkey bars, Camilla Thomson’s and Alexander Johnston’s eyes light up.

The Grade 2 students at Pleasant Park Public School are eagerly anticipating construction next spring of a brand new play structure, featuring a tall slide, monkey bars and ropes, for students in grades 3 to 6.

An aging wooden play apparatus used by the older students was torn down in 2011 due to safety concerns. Two smaller play structures that remain at the school are only engineered for smaller children.

“I can stand and touch the monkey bars,” said Camilla’s big sister, Ella, who is in Grade 5 at the French immersion school, which has 375 students from junior kindergarten to Grade 6.

That prompted members of the school’s parent council to begin fundraising for a new play structure, which comes with an $80,000 price tag. About half that cost comes from preparing

the site and creating a wood-chip surface that’s wheelchair accessible.

The council has generated about $40,000 through fundraising events and donations from individuals and businesses in the community since 2011. They’re hoping a fun fair at the school on Saturday, May 3, which has been in the works for six months, will help significantly.

“We said, ‘What a great idea to add something to the end of the school year that would be not only a fundraiser, but sort of a community and school (event),’” said Andrea Thomson, parent council chairwoman.

The fun fair will be the council’s most ambitious event to date.

“We’ve been looking for an opportunity, I think, throughout the fundraising for the last few years to involve not just the school community, but the broader community as well, because we see the play structure as community space, not just school space”, said parent council member Sara Cooper, Alexander’s mother.

The council members also have their fingers crossed that their application for a $7,500

grant from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is approved. If successful, the grant would be matched by the City of Ottawa.

Still, it’s not enough to rely on government funding.

“You can only go so far (with government dollars), so that is where the need is, to fill in that very, very large gap,” Thomson said.

The playground equipment will provide older students will more opportunity to burn off their energy during recess, allowing them to better concentrate on their studies, said Pleasant Park school principal Guido Ronci.

“That helps students keep their energy levels down, and their creativity goes up when they have things like play structures because they invent games,” he said.

The hope is that the council will raise $100,000 through its campaign, with the extra $20,000 going to the purchase of saplings to replace several Ash trees that were infected with Emerald Ash Borer beetles and cut down last year. The money would also cover construction of an outdoor classroom.

“For the instruction of science it’s perfect,”

Business Directory

said Ronci. “That’s really what it touches on, being able to teach lessons that are closest to the natural habitat of what’s around here.”

That’s why the upcoming fun fair is so important. The public is invited to take part in a range of activities, including cardboard carnival games, a silent auction, a cupcake walk, a Mother’s Day craft room, bake and plant sales and a spa room, where kids can have their hair braided and henna applied to their hands.

“It brings everyone together, parents the children and the broader community. So that’s excellent,” said Ronci. “It puts Pleasant Park where it’s supposed to be – in the middle of the community.”

The fun fair happens at Pleasant Park Public School, 564 Pleasant Park Rd., on Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proceeds also raised at a Loblaws barbecue at Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre on Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. will go to the playground fund.

To make a donation in support of the school’s play structure, visit pleasantpark.parentcouncil.net.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Untangle yourself from conflicts at work, Taurus. This is not the time to get involved in anything that may put your chances for a promotion in jeopardy.

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