Inside Kids with disabilities community get into the swing
Arnprior Chronicle-Guide Little league creates Challenger baseball program
Rotary club honours founders of team for kids with disabilities – Page 2
Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Sports - Kanata’s baseball association is kicking off a new program this year to take disabled children off the bleachers and put them on the field. The Kanata Little League Baseball Association is tapping into the Challenger division program – an international program which guides associations in creating a division for kids with disabilities. The Challenger program is offered through Little League Canada and Baseball Canada, and operates just like every other little league division except
arts
children are placed on teams based on ability rather than age. Jeff Dever, the Kanata baseball association’s vice president of house league programs, is leading the initiative. “One of the things I really love about integrating Challenger into Kanata Little League is we can say we provide programs for children, non-exclusive to ability,” said Dever. “We provide high-level, athletic opportunities for the kids that compete on the world stage, we provide house league programs for kids that just want to have fun, and then we can provide the Challenger program for all kids, regardless of their ability.” The division is open to children with just about any disability, said Dever, whether they use a wheelchair or have a mental or cognitive disability. In most ways, the Challenger division will run just like any other. The association provides equipment, jerseys, fields and coach training for volunteers who want to get involved. Challenger players would play against other division teams in their ability ranges, and the program would be delivered by volunteers. To get the program running, the association is working to get the word out to parents and those in various communities who would be interested in submitted volunteering. A Challenger division player from Vancouver takes a swing while up at home plate in 2009.

Condors founders honoured by Kanata Rotary Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - Kanata residents Jim and Shana Perkins were honoured by the Kanata Rotary club April 23 for their work founding and running a hockey club for children with disabilities.
The pair were made Paul Harris Fellows at a dinner in their honour. The fellowship was described as “the highest honour the club can give,” by past president Zul Devji. The fellowship was named for the Rotary Foundation’s founder, Paul Harris. Used as a way of recog-
nizing substantial contributions for humanitarian and educational programs, Jim and Shana Perkins were made fellows for founding a hockey club for physically and mentally disabled children. See PARENTS, page 3

Parents the ‘real heroes’ Continued from page 2
The club is available for young people ages six to 21 who want to play the game, but may not even know how to skate. The club focuses on skills development, teamwork, sportsmanship and fun, intersquad games The pair received a standing ovation several times during the night after hearing their story from Rotary Club of Ottawa Kanata Sunrise president John Piggott and Jim himself. Jim and Shana were inspired by a Cambridge, Ont. special needs hockey team during a trip in 2008. “Lives were actually being changed from it,” Jim said during his speech at the dinner. The couple was determined to find a similar team in Ottawa and volunteer. But, to their
ur. Any tim
dismay, no such team existed. Then, they had a choice, said Jim: they could either forget all about what they saw in Cambridge, or embark on a journey to create a team themselves. Having no children with disabilities of their own, Shana and Jim had no specific reason for starting the club, but knew it would take a lot of time from their children. They convened a family meeting and got their teenage children’s blessing. Though the club began with three children in its first year in 2008, it has grown to include 100 players and three teams: in Rockland, Kanata, and a Blades team in Cambridge. The couple had no idea
their club would grow so big, said Jim, which now includes more than 50 volunteers. They are the ones that deserve the award, said Jim. “They work their hearts out,” he said, and work to make each kid feel like the most special child in the world. “It seems selfish to even be recognized at all because we’ve gotten so much from these kids and these families,” he said. While accepting the award, Jim addressed the parents who have been an integral part of the club, some of which were in attendance “We’re not real heroes,” said Jim. “Parents ... know that you are our heroes.”

“We need those people that are willing to put their heart into Challenger like they do at other levels to really make the program happen,” said Dever. So far, the league has had contact with parents in the down syndrome community who are interested in being involved in the program, but hopes that many other players, parents and volunteers will be interested.

Ottawa is experiencing a boom when it comes to baseball participation, said Dever. Kanata’s Challenger program will be the second in the city, as East Nepean has had the program for many years, he said. Also, the Miracle League of Ottawa is building a field in Orléans especially for children and young adults with special needs. “We are sort of on the cusp of an explosion of opportunity for Challenger kids,” he said. The Kanata association’s decision to start offering the program came from seeing players whose brothers and sisters were left watching from the bleachers due to their disability. “There was an awareness there of a population of kids that we are not providing an opportunity to, though we should or we want to,” said Dever. This year will be a pilot year for the program in Kanata in the hopes of growing interest to make it a sustainable division of the association. “If we have 10 kids, we will go ahead; if we have 20 kids we will put them on two teams and we will go ahead, if we have more we will go ahead. So it really is dependent on the community and interest and the demand that’s out there for this program,” he said. With the program now in its 25th year, Dever said he hopes to see Kanata’s Challenger division last just as long. But overall, Dever’s hopes for the program are simple: “I want to see kids outside on the grass, in the sun having fun.”

Beaverbrook association elects new executive Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association elected a new executive during its annual general meeting on April 24. The election marked the
end of Gary Sealey’s term as president, who was first elected four years ago. Replacing him as president is Neil Thompson, who formerly served as the association’s first vice president of planning and legal, The meeting, held at the
Beaverbrook community centre, attracted a crowd of dozens of community members. The slate of candidates ran unopposed. Following the election, Sealey welcomed the new president and his executive.
“I’ve worked with Neil throughout the last three years,” said Sealey. “He is brilliant and passionate and committed, and Beaverbrook will do very well with Neil and the new team.” As for Thomson, he said he has big shoes to fill, but feels privileged to be elected
and make a contribution to his community. This year’s meeting comes at a pivotal time for both the association and the community, with both in need of re-investment and direction, said Sealey. With Beaverbrook and much of its infrastructure
now 50 years old, it is time for a new cycle, said Sealey, one of re-investment and yet maintaining the character of our community. Thomson said revitalizing the community association and working with developers are his two top priorities.

However, the vision of the garden city with its paths, green spaces and independent communities needs to be renewed and then followed. But sticking to that vision is made difficult by the city and developers who are only looking at a single property opportunity at a time, said Thomson. To keep that vision alive, the association must “work with the developers and the city to ensure that appropriate development is done in Beaverbrook as opposed to random scattering of 30 storey towers.”

While reinvigoration of the association means developing more programs and events for the young and old, it also means substantial work on the community centre, said Thomson. Director Jim Shearon who was elected as the association’s secretary this year, came forward with a motion to start renovating the centre. He asked that members approve up to $10,000 towards renovations on the centre which would include repainting the upstairs area, and replacing the floor which was damaged by water this winter. The motion passed, but Thomson said there is much more that needs to be done. “It hasn’t been touched in 50 years,” said Thomson of the centre. “Ten thousand dollars for a building of that size is a drop in a bucket. Realistically, we are looking at $100,000 to as much as $1 million to really renovate it for the next 50 years.” Also in attendance at the meeting was Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who noted that the city’s planning committee is recommend-
ing accessibility renovations to the building, which would include an elevator. However, she noted those are not 100-per-cent certain, and would not happen until next year. However, Thomson’s other priority is to keep watch over the direction the Beaverbrook community is taking as more developments are OK’d by the city. “This is one of the most thoroughly thought through communities probably in North America, and it’s worked very well for 50 years,” he said.

Internet now a necessity
M
any of us have the Internet in our pocket; an instant connection to news, email and, during an emergency, information that can even save lives. For others, the Internet is a distant concept. And not just in Third World countries – here in Ottawa too. The cost of an Internet connection is more than some people can afford, despite the fact that highspeed connections are literally at their front door. Information is power, as well as a key element of a modern education. Without a decent connection to the worldwide web, people who are already behind the rest of Canadian society are destined to fall further behind. The children in homes without a fast connection are destined to fall behind their peers. It seems less likely they will get a chance to excel at school and beyond, which equals a massive waste of potential. A low-income advocacy group organized a march on April 17 to draw attention to the high cost of highspeed, a price tag that puts the Information Highway out of reach for many Canadians. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is calling for high-speed Internet to be made available to Canadians for $10 a month. Given that the federal government regulates our telephone service, a more
affordable Internet is within reach if Parliament feels it is important. We pay taxes so that our libraries can share information with all residents. Why not a Canadian system to share the Internet with all Canadians? For this tech-savvy nation, it’s within our control to make it happen. The federal government has made rural high-speed Internet a priority, which is commendable. That doesn’t mean urban users – with high-speed connections available – should be forgotten. Internet access should be treated the same as basic phone service, with controlled rates so low-income families can get connected. Ottawa libraries provide Internet access – when they are open and if there is no lineup of other customers – but that’s not the same as having information on your kitchen table. Low-speed, dial-up connections are still available – with a phone line – but that’s not a good way to research material on today’s image-heavy websites. ACORN has the right idea. Every Canadian should have high-speed access. And if their current finances mean they can’t afford it, rates should be controlled. If Internet service providers won’t or can’t make the cost affordable, it’s up to all of us – through our federal government – to help offset costs so we’re all on an equal footing.

Free to vote. Free to not vote.
U
sually the subject of voter turnout emerges briefly after elections, when it is discovered that two out of five of us didn’t bother to go to the polls. There is a brief period of handwringing and then the political world reverts to its normal pattern of evasion, distortion and character assassination. Now thanks, if that is the word, to the Fair Elections Act, we are having the discussion at a time when it can do some good. It is a serious problem: according to the Canadian Press, just over 60 per cent of eligible voters turned out in 2011, and among voters under the age of 30 the turnout was less than 40 per cent. Provincial and municipal turnout figures are usually worse. There is no shortage of explanations. Some blame the nasty tone of our federal and provincial politics. Some blame the lack of issues of relevance to younger voters. And some blame the voting system itself. The argument goes that either it is too difficult to vote, or young voters just don’t care, or a combination of the two. The proposed solutions include asking the political parties to become more relevant. Godspeed on that one. On changes to the voting system, the one
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town we’ve been hearing for years is that Canada should adopt the compulsory vote, a system used with apparent success in other countries, such as Australia. The likelihood of being fined would bring young people out to the polls and, the argument goes, the likelihood of going to the polls would cause them to pay more attention to the issues. The counter-arguments are familiar. First, non-voters are usually non-interested and non-informed. Do we really want more people like that voting? Second, we live in a free society. For better or worse, one of our freedoms is the freedom not to vote. If we discard the compulsory option, the alternative most commonly proposed is online voting. We do everything online now,
8 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, May 1, 2014
the argument goes, so why not voting? Young people are more likely to vote if they can do so online. The argument is made forcefully by comedian Rick Mercer in one of his CBC rants, quoted in the Huffington Post: “The government has a responsibility to make voting available wherever Canadians live. And yes, all Canadians reside in a riding but young Canadians, they live online. If we let them pay taxes there, let them vote there.” A couple of counter-arguments can be made. One comes from Ottawa Coun. Rick Chiarelli, quoted by CFRA, who used the example of the Heartbleed bug to point up the possible lack of security of online voting. “It’s always open to failure because the battle between security and hacking is a seesaw battle and it goes on like that,” Chiarelli said, and it is hard not to agree. The amount of attempted tampering in the last election indicates that any online voting system adopted will become a target, by those attempting to bias the result or perhaps just mess things up for fun. Even if online voting could be guaranteed to be secure, there would be still be reservations. It could be argued that putting voting online trivializes it, by putting it in the same
category as downloading a song. It should be thought of as a more serious matter than that. One way of observing that seriousness is to rise from your chair, put your shoes on and go out the door. Voting may or may not be a duty, but it is certainly a privilege. Polling places are almost always within walking distance. Many people are allowed time off from work to vote. Rides to and from are available. To treat the act of voting as some kind of hardship is a distortion of reality. If it’s a hardship to vote, millions of people around the world would like some.

The living will: before you hit your sell-by date
T
he other day, some friends in the neighbourhood, now in their mid-sixties, informed us they would be putting their house up for sale. “Sorry to disappoint you,” she said. “But if we wait until we’re 70, we’ll be past our sell-by date.” It was a cute play on words. But it got me wondering about my own relatives in the same age group, who have never raised the issue of downsizing or moving to a more senior-friendly establishment. Our neighbours are in excellent health, to be sure. They are expecting their first grandchildren. They have a Florida condo and a cottage and their current house is lovely and centrally located. But they’re smart. They know that the stairs may at some point become a burden, along with the maintenance of their current freehold property – from roofing and plumbing repairs, to snow removal and gardening. These are things they’ve
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse chosen not to worry about as they age, thus the decision to sell while they are still able-bodied and ableminded enough to make decisions about where they want to live. I wish my own relatives could be so practical. But this is not an easy subject to broach with seniors. For one thing, no one likes to be told what to do. For another, few people like to think about the potential of becoming disabled, less self-sufficient or widowed. The latter is most concerning In the last few years, I’ve known three elderly couples where one spouse had health or disability issues and the other acted in the role of caretaker. People tend to assume the one in poor health
will pass away first, but in all three cases it was the caretaker who died. This left the family in a crisis situation. Not only did they have to think about downsizing and relocating the widowed parent – but they also had to rapidly reorganize their lives to find a caregiver replacement. Conversations about aging in place, relocation and potential retirement residences need to be brought out of the shadows before they become necessary. As part of the sandwich generation, I’ve seen many families wait for a crisis to take action on senior relocation and downsizing.
It leads to critical decisions made under stress, which not only limits their choices, but also has lead to decisions that they later came to regret when life settled back to a normal pace. How does one go about broaching the subject of seniors’ intentions? There’s no point acting forceful or overly opinionated, which may just get people’s backs up. But you can start by asking some of the big questions gently: Have you thought about how long you’ll live in your current house? Is it still financially viable if you eventually have to outsource all maintenance? Over time, you may want to broaden the questions to get them thinking about life if one person in the couple becomes disabled or dies and how practical the house would be at that time. What if they can no lon-
ger drive or need help with meals? Are these things possible in their current location? What are their expectations of their relatives?
How does one go about broaching the subject of seniors’ intentions? Do they anticipate they will need their relatives to care for them or live with them? Or have they sourced other possibilities of care – home care or residential care – if they need it? Many people take the time early on to contemplate their lives after death by creating a will. It’s time to start taking the idea of a living will more seriously, ideally before anyone reaches their “sell-by dates.”

What is the 2014 Zoning Review all about? Over 30 Zoning Reviews will take place throughout Ottawa in 2014. 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. 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.

Walking the Talk According to the 2011 National Household Survey, 68% of Ottawa residents drive a vehicle to work. Every day, people use vehicles to get to work, school, run errands, visit friends, and to take children to recreational activities. Although vehicles can be a quick form of transportation, did you know that in urban areas, walking for a distance of 500 meters or less is usually faster than using the car – and it is free and good for you. Car-centered living robs us of the chance to include physical activity into our daily lives. Every year, each Canadian makes an average of 2,000 car trips of less than three kilometers. Imagine how much healthier we would be if these short trips were replaced with an active mode of transportation, such as walking or cycling! May is Physical Activity Month and throughout the month, Ottawa Public Health is challenging residents to get active every day. A simple way is to walk if you are headed somewhere
that is 2 km or less. A 2 km walk is equal to thirty minutes of physical activity. If you do this 5 times per week, you will meet the 150 minutes of activity recommended for adults Using active forms of transportation not only improves our health, it can also help reduce vehicle emissions which have negative environmental and health effects.
Please join us for the Ottawa Walking Day Celebration on Tuesday May 13, 2014 from 9:30 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. at Ottawa City Hall located at 110 Laurier Avenue West. Bicycle parking is always free! There will be opportunities for networking, to listen to motivational speakers and to participate in guided walks along the canal. Register today! OttawaWalkingDay.Eventbrite.ca or for more information call: 613-580-6744 ext. 23514.
Ottawa Hospitals Keeping it Fresh Have you recently been to an Ottawa area hospital? Maybe you were a patient, visiting someone or even going in to work your shift? You may have noticed that the air you are breathing feels a little fresher! As members of the Smoke-Free Hospital Workgroup, local hospitals, including the Ottawa Hospital, The Queensway Carleton Hospital, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, The Royal, Hôpital Montfort, CHEO and Ottawa Public Health are partnering to support patients, visitors and staff who smoke. Each hospital campus has supports in place to help patients and staff quit smoking or curb their cravings. Patients, staff and visitors can take advantage of various services offered such as one-on-one
counselling, group support, workshops and access to quit smoking medications. Recently, the hospitals partnered up to support their staff by offering the Fresh Air Challenge to those who want to quit smoking, help a co-worker quit or who simply want to remain smokefree. Nearly 250 hospital employees across all local hospitals participated in the challenge. Whether you are curious and want to know more about the hospital’s policy, what services could benefit you, or where to go if you choose to smoke, the Smoke-Free Hospital Workgroup has answers to your questions. Visit Smokefree-Sansfumee.ca to learn more… because we all breathe the same air. Let’s keep it Fresh Ottawa! Follow us on Twitter @OttawaHealth

Art - The Kanata Art Club’s Spring Show and Sale will show hundreds of pieces from upand-coming and experienced artists from across Ottawa and beyond on May 3 and 4. But more than a chance to make some money selling artwork, the show is a chance to “bare your soul on canvas or paper,” said the club’s president, Diane Dean, and an opportunity to grow. The annual show, which is held at Saint Isidore Roman Catholic Parish in north Kanata, is one of three exhibitions the club puts on every year. This year’s show has 25 artists participating, each showing between 10 and 15 pieces in just about any media you can think of, said club member and past president Josie Braden. In terms of styles, the show includes “everything from way out weird to placid landscapes and portraits,” she said. Unlike the club’s juried show in June which requires

is come to the members’ show and get a booth,” said Dean. “They might share it with somebody the first year, and they hang their art very intrepidly and then they get people commenting and making great comments and maybe even selling a piece.” See SHOW, page 25

Show includes art from across Ottawa Continued from page 22
“That sets them on the road to validating what they want to do.” The show is also a good recruitment tool for the club, as artists who attend the show often find themselves interested in preparing for next year’s show, said Dean. The club itself, now 49 years old, is one of the oldest art clubs in Ottawa, said Dean and Braden. Though the club is based in Kanata, it now boasts 100 members from across the city. “It’s become a real melting pot,” said Braden. That also means the club includes a strong variety of artistic styles and techniques. “You don’t wind up being in a little pocket of a bunch of people who do something only one way,” said Braden. Though many still view Montreal and Toronto as stronger centres for art in Ontario, Braden and Dean disagree. “We’ve got an art underground in the city of Ottawa,” said Dean. To see some of that underground, the spring show and sale will be taking place May 3 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and May 4 from noon to 4 p.m. at Saint Isidore parish hall on 1135 March Rd.
Week in Review
Erin McCracken/Metroland
Angel Hair Old Ottawa South resident Anneka Dallin O’Grady, 10, waits patiently as Barrhaven resident Michelle Nguyen snips off 10 inches of her hair at Hair Republic in Old Ottawa South on April 27. Nguyen, salon co-owner, says when Anneka came in looking to cut and donate her locks in February, she felt inspired to do as much as she could to help children who have lost their hair from cancer treatment. The salon’s seven stylists donated their time to chop the locks of about 140 children, who either donated their hair for wigs or their parents donated the cost of their haircuts for Angel Care for Kids. The organization provides wigs to children in need who have lost their hair.
With respect to the Canada Post initiative to convert those of us that still have door delivery to the community mail box program there is a message on our website with additional information. Canada Post has provided the city with a list of potential locations that has to be reviewed by City Staff to remove locations where sidewalks or road work is planned and where utilities like Bell Rogers or Hydro are located. Canada Post was also doing a survey to determine whether our community wanted all the boxes in a few secure locations such as at a mall or did you want one near your house. Given that we have 6,000 locations in Kanata South, there was a strong likelihood for changes so I want that process to be complete ASAP. Canada Post has advised that the survey results show the vast majority want the boxes close to their homes as possible so please review the locations near you and provide any comment directly to Canada Post. If there is a municipal concern, please let me know. I will endeavour to post changes to the sites on my website but Canada Post will be in control of this process so please consider the listing a draft and not the final version.

Like many of you I have been troubled by the condition of one of the treasures of our community – the Valour Bridge at Castlefrank and the 417. I have since learned that the maintenance of this bridge is the responsibility of the provincial government. I have asked city staff to investigate with the province when the needed repairs will be completed and to have a plan going forward on how to maintain the bridge. To me it is one of the ways we can as a community show our respect for the Veterans who have served our country and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the battles enshrined on this bridge. While I cannot assure you at this time that the province will repair, I can assure you that with your support, I will be looking at all options to get this work done as quickly as possible.

A metroland special series part 1
Make workplace pensions mandatory: lobbyist Continued from page 28
Some question whether people who now don’t currently contribute to an RRSP would want to contribute to a voluntary plan. At a time when traditional company pensions are rapidly disappearing, and CPP benefits are capped annually at $12,000, there is agreed sentiment that doing nothing will leave millions of middle-class earners vulnerable in retirement years. Several provincial finance ministers, including Sousa, have stepped forward to urge the federal government to move on reforms, including implementing modest increases to CPP contributions. But calls to prop up the federal program have ultimately fallen on deaf ears. Former Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said the na-
Given the amount that the CPP ... pays out, Canadians should not rely on them as a primary source of income to fund their retirement. Susan Eng, retirement savings expert
tion’s economy isn’t strong enough to support the increased taxation needed to bolster the fund. Policymakers are nervous about declining savings, increased household debt and an overheated housing market. Flaherty had suggested taking more out of incomes of most of the working population isn’t a sound idea. “Right now the federal government is apprehensive about doing any of this, which is strange because it is in the benefit of Canadians in the long term,” Sousa said. Frustrated by federal foot-dragging, the province is drafting its own vision for an Ontario Pension Plan to supplement the CPP. Earlier this year, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne appointed former prime minister Paul Martin as a special adviser on pensions. Martin will contribute to a technical panel comprised of pension experts. Eng and other retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Most Ontarians can’t save enough to meet that target. Eng says, at best, with CPP and Old Age Security combined, one can earn about $18,000 annually post-retirement. Most Ontarians earn about $9,000 from CPP and Old Age Se-
curity, she said, with the average monthly payout less than $600. Chris Buttigieg, senior manager, Wealth Planning Strategy for BMO Financial Group, says sole dependence on CPP after retirement is a dire mistake. “Given the amount that the CPP ... pays out, Canadians should not rely on them as a primary source of income to fund their retirement,” he said. “Rather, they should consider the CPP … to be a supplementary component of their overall retirement income solution and focus on creating their very own personal pension plan by contributing to an RRSP on a regular basis.” Others are counting on the sale of a home as a way to fund retirement. That’s exactly what Sung Joo Park, a self-employed caterer, did after she turned 60. Park, 76, lives in a rented apartment in Mississauga. Her husband, Jong Joo Park, 82, died earlier this year. Neither one of them had a private pension plan. “It’s hard,” she said. “Life was a lot easier 20 years ago.”
Eng is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. “It has to come into existence and somebody has to create it,” she said. Details on an Ontario plan still need to be ironed out. The plan though would likely be run by an independent organization at arms-length from the provincial government. It would also use a defined contribution system that allows workers the choice to opt out. Sousa is keen on the idea of a mandatory system with an optout clause, similar to what’s being done in Quebec and also in other countries. The Liberals remain steadfast on introducing new reforms. But any new pension would have to be approved by the Ontario legislature where the Liberals hold minority status. If the opposition parties vote down the government, the province will face an election, and a pension scheme for Ontario could be put on hold.
Nothing is guaranteed, not even your private pension By LOUIE ROSELLA Staff
News - If you’re enrolled in a pension plan, chances are your money is safe. Maybe. Perry Quinton, vice-president of marketing at Investor Education Fund (IEF), a non-profit organization founded by the Ontario Securities Commission, says anyone who is either looking for work or already employed should view privately-funded pension plans as a necessity. “It can be free money that if you don’t sign up for it, you’re not going to get it,” she says. “Any kind of incentive that forces you to save money is brilliant.” Quinton and her organization say there are mainly two types of private pension plans of-
fered in Ontario: • a defined benefit pension plan, where the employer promises a specified monthly benefit on retirement that is pre-determined by a formula. It’s up to the employer to deliver what they promised when you retire. If a plan doesn’t have enough money, the employer will have to put more money into the fund. • a defined contribution pension plan or Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (Group RRSP), in which both you and your employer can put money into the plan. In either case, a trust company or insurance company holds this money in a separate account for you. You, not the company, own that money. Even if your employer goes bankrupt, your money is safe. Of course, you can always lose some or all
of your money if the market crashes or if you don’t invest it wisely, the IEF says. Your pension plan should not run out of money if the employer manages the fund properly, Quinton says. Even if the worst happens, some of your pension savings may be protected. In Ontario, most employers of defined benefit plans pay a yearly fee to Ontario’s Pensions Benefits Guarantee Fund. This fund insures the first $1,000 of an employee’s monthly pension in case the employer goes bankrupt. It’s the only fund of this type in Canada. However, not even this unique fund will guarantee that an employee gets all of his/her promised pension, Quinton says, noting the infamous Nortel Networks bankruptcy case in which employees didn’t receive all of their
promised pension. Should an employee be fired or choose to leave the company, depending on the type of plan, he/she may have the option of transferring their pension earnings into another plan, Quinton says. They could also leave it where it is and collect at time of retirement or transfer into a locked-in retirement savings account (LIRA), which works much like an RRSP. There is always the chance that a company chooses to shut down its pension plan, which it can do at anytime. “If the plan was properly funded, you should get everything you have earned so far,” Quinton says. However, if the plan was underfunded, you may not get all you’re promised, Quinton says.

Lost memories but not a lost home Adam Kveton

Community - It’s an award she says she didn’t need, but one that was well deserved. Along with home caregivers from across Ottawa, Joyce McInnis and her children were honoured with Heroes in the Home Caregiver Recognition Awards from the Champlain Community Care Access Centre on April 1. The care centre’s award is given to family members, friends, volunteers and health care professionals “whose kindness and commitment allow other to live full lives in their communities, despite the limitations of age, illness or disability,” reads a Com-
munity Care Access Centre news release. For Joyce, the award is in recognition of the eight years she and her family have worked to keep her husband living at home. Bob McInnis was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 70 and has been losing more and more of his memory ever since. Now, he has no short term memory at all, said Joyce. He still remembers his wife, but he is starting to forget the rest of the family. But because of his family’s efforts, he has not lost his home. Bob was diagnosed after Joyce noticed something was wrong and was determined

City Councillor, Kanata north VIDEO SHOWS WHERE OUR BUSES GO An interesting video that shows transit activity for Ottawa for one day can be viewed on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=R93SkL2CHZQ). You can clearly see where most of the bus activity is located. BEAUTIFY OUR COMMUNITIES Thank you to all the schools, community groups and individuals who have registered for the Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital campaign. It’s not too late to join in and help spruce up areas such as along major roads like March and Campeau, along creeks and in commercial and business areas. Remember to think twice before throwing something out of a window or on the ground. It takes minimal effort to keep those items until you get home where you can dispose of them in proper containers.
Over the years, Joyce has gotten help where she can. While two of her daughters and her son regularly help out, very few friends come around anymore, she said. While some of her husband’s friends from church come by to take Bob out on occasion, most “don’t bother,” said Joyce. “It’s very lonely.” However, the McInnis’ have been able to make use of day programs in various parts of the city so Joyce can have a few hours rest every week. More recently, community care workers have come every morning and night to help bathe Bob and get him ready for bed. The help is very important, said Joyce. While her husband
might challenge her on something, he will listen to the caregivers without a fuss.
As difficult as it is and as cross as I get sometimes, I can honestly, honestly say I love him as much today as I did the day we were married. Joyce McInnis
But keeping Bob living at home continues to get harder. For the last year, Joyce has been able to send her husband
for respite care for two weeks every two months. “The first week he is gone, I sleep pretty much day and night,” she said. While that resource has helped to keep her going, she said she has reached a turning point. “I have just, just recently put his name on the list for permanent long-term care,” she said with a crack in her voice. “It’s a terribly, terribly hard, difficult thing to even consider, but you have to. There comes a point when you have to.” However, the waiting list for permanent long-term care is two-and-a-half years, she said, meaning her husband will have some more time at home. But when Bob finally goes to
long-term care, it will be separating a couple who have been together for more than 50 years, with the McInnis’ 58th wedding anniversary having just passed. Though the last eight years have been very difficult, Joyce said it hasn’t changed anything between the couple, and that’s why she has worked so hard to keep him living at home. “As difficult as it is and as cross as I get sometimes, I can honestly, honestly say I love him as much today as I did the day we were married. So it’s difficult to think that we are not side by side.” As for the award, Joyce said it was appreciated, but not necessary. “I didn’t think that I needed to be rewarded for looking after my loved one.”
2nd ANNUAL COMMUNITY RECOGNITION AWARDS Congratulations to the 17 individuals and 7 businesses who were nominated for one of the Kanata North Community Recognition Awards in the categories of Youth, Senior, Organization and Citizen of the Year.

Beaverbrook to hold first ever geocaching event Treasure hunt held this spring KBCA
Community - The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association will hold a “Get to Know Your Neighbourhood” event using a game known as geocaching this spring, from April 24 to July 1. Geocaching is like a scavenger hunt but using science. Geocaching and earth caching are gaining popularity worldwide allowing citizens to explore the world around them and share their experiences with others. “It’s our first attempt at running such an activity and we are looking for feedback and interest, says Val Collins, executive director of Smart City Science located in Kanata north.” Geocaching users hide a “treasure”, a container holding various items and a log book. Smart City Science promotes non-profit science activities across western Ottawa, such as Kanata and West Carleton. Smart City Science is a local company delivering entertaining science education It has modified the activity to allow small children to participate. “The Beaverbrook community has an amazing network of bicycle paths and we want our community to know them better so we decided to use the geocaching principles in a modified manner with photographs of the seven sites selected,” said Collins. “Using observational skills children can identify the selected sites and work with their family as a team. “The main purpose is to get outside and enjoy our community and, begin to un-
derstand the basic principles of Citizen Science,” said Collins. “We’ll be working with local community centers to bring more opportunities to explore science in our backyards in the future.” There are only two rules. first – if you take an item, you must leave something Do you know where this photograph was taken? Hint: It was somewhere in Beaverbrook. too. And second - write about your visit in the log book. Everyone who visits this geocaching event will be recognized at the annual Beaverbrook Clean-up Day Picnic. To participate visit the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association’s website and download the activity onto your smartphones/ GPS or print out the activity and take it with you. The activity is also posted on www.SMARTCITYSCIENCE.com with links to more information on geocaching and earth caching and how to run your own PRESENTS geocaching event.

Active learning is not a skill limited to the classroom Whitehead, this is because, like many other school skills (such as studying, organization and focus) active thinking is a skill that students need to be shown how to use. “Active learning is not a skill restricted to the classroom. Chil-
dren (and adults, too) should always be thinking about the world around them. In fact, the more that children develop this skill outside the classroom, the more they are able to apply it in class.” Whitehead outlines three
simple steps for students to follow to practise their activethinking skills: • Before the activity, whether it’s doing a craft or sitting down in class, students should pause to try reflect on what they already know about what they
are going to do. This primes the brain to get it ready learn something new. • During the activity, students should ask themselves questions to draw connections or highlight details, like “What is this similar to?”
• After the activity students can reflect on what they just learned. This can be done by creating summary notes. Students should attempt to draw similarities. News Canada

Fluffy flat out refuses to like garden idea
T
he seeds from Steele-Briggs had long since arrived in the mail. Mother had little wood flats laid out all over the downstairs of the house. Every day I checked, looking for sprouts of life, and when I saw some that hadn’t been there before, I was as excited as if I was witness to a birth, which, in a way, it was. Some of the boxes filled the window sills, and space on the bake table had been taken over, and that table pushed close to the window that looked out into the grape arbour. Mother tried to capture as much sunlight as possible to help her growing seeds along. I couldn’t tell what the plants were to become, and I wasn’t sure Mother knew either. So to take the mystery out of it all, Mother laced the empty seed packet onto a little stick and there was one in each box identifying what was planted. Very clever indeed, was my mother.

MARY COOK Memories There was still a chill in the air, but the days were warming up, and Mother said soon the garden would be ploughed up. By then the sprouts could be ready for planting. Every night before I went to bed, I carried my little kitten Fluffy in my arms and circled the boxes, putting firmly in my mind how tall each sprig was, so that in the morning I could check to see what growth had taken place over night. Mother, who was dead set against any pets in the house, allowed me to keep Fluffy, but only until she was grown enough to move to the barn. With her in my arms, I would talk to her about the plants and how once they
had been tiny little seeds, sure in my mind that she knew every word I was saying. “Those have grown a good inch,” Mother said that night, as she took a teaspoon and poked at the earth around the little plants coming to life in the box under the window. I wanted to believe her, but to me they looked exactly as they did two days before. Firmly holding Fluffy, I got down on my knees and smelled the little plants. All I could smell was earth. I put Fluffy’s nose close, too, but she didn’t seem the least bit interested in whether or not the plants were showing any sign of life. Sometimes I sneaked Fluffy upstairs to my bed-

Mother stopped only long enough to repeat once again that animals belong in the barn before ordering “that cat” to be immediately moved right out to the barn, and she was never to darken the door again.

Valley orienteers to host inaugural championships Derek Dunn
derekdunn@metroland.com
Sports - Orienteering Ottawa was readying the site of the North American championships with a competition last weekend in West Carleton. About 100 participants came out last Sunday to the EcoWellness Centre on the Carp Ridge for the sport that requires mapping and compass skills to navigate from
point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain, and normally moving at speed. Orienteering began in the 1960s as a training exercise in land navigation for soldiers, but didn’t catch on in Ottawa until the 1970s. Now the Carp Ridge and the Town of Arnprior are set to host the first official North American Orienteering Championships. David Rosen is from the International Orienteering Federation, and was brought over
from the United Kingdom as an advisor to the championships. He is impressed with the organizers and the terrain. “It’s beautiful terrain, especially the open rock barrens,” Rosen said. “The maps are very detailed with boulders and ripples and thick vegetation. They’ve done a good job organizing it.” See OTTAWA, page 45

The North American Orienteering Championships take place over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, from Oct. 10 to 13. The sprint and relay will take place in Arnprior, and Arnprior will be headquarters for the weekend. The event centre, meals, accommodation and entertainment will also be in Arnprior. “Arnprior is doing everything in their power to make it a great event,” said orienteering championship organizer Gloria Rankin. The middle and long events will be held on new maps of the Carp Ridge, where the 2010 Canadian Championship middle and long orienteering events were held. The relevant areas have now been embargoed. Several non-competitive activities are also planned: recreational events, clinics, training opportunities and children’s activities. For more information, please visit ottawaoc.ca.

Epic ride on the divide Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - A Queensway Carleton employee is using his adventurous spirit to raise funds for the hospital by biking one of the toughest routes in North America by himself. Philip Chen, a respiratory therapist at the hospital and adventure and bicycling enthusiast, embarked on his
4,022-kilometre trip April 27, but not before stopping by the hospital to talk a bit about his journey with fellow employees on April 24. Queensway Carleton employees and members of the hospital’s foundation wished Chen a safe trip after quizzing him on where the ride would take him and how he could fit all of his gear and food into a handful of small bags on his bicycle.
Chen, dressed in the cycling outfit he will use for the 43-day trip, explained that he will be taking the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, starting in Antelope Wells, New Mexico. The route follows the Rocky Mountains, meaning 61,000 metres worth of climbing and descending for Chen through small, rural towns and up to B.C. See WEATHER, page 50

When he was rescued he was in danger of becoming blind, his turned in eyelids were scraping his eyes and damaging his sight. Once he received his surgery he healed up and became a happy go lucky cat. He is very playful and friendly adores humans. A good cuddle and a brushing session would make him putty in your hands. Feline company is also enjoyed and he gets along fine with them. Any chance you might give him a call ?

grilled lamb skewers
Lifestyle - Strawberries take a twist here in a savoury glaze for lamb. They add an overall sweetness to the dish. Soak wooden skewers, if using, for at least 10 minutes. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Standing time: two hours. Cooking time: about 20 minutes. Serves six to eight. Ingredients
Lamb and marinade: • 2.2 kg (5 lb) boneless leg of lamb • 50 ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil • 50 ml (1/4 cup) minced fresh chives • 15 ml (1 tbsp) grated fresh lemon rind • 25 ml (2 tbsp (25 mL) each fresh lemon juice and maple syrup • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each coarse sea salt and pepper

• 15ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
1121.R0012421001
Preparation
Trim the fat from the lamb and cut it into five-centimetre (two-inch) cubes. In a bowl, whisk together the oil, chives, lemon rind, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour it into a resealable plastic bag and add the lamb cubes. Seal the bag and turn the cubes inside to coat. Refrigerate and marinate the lamb for two hours. Strawberry maple chive glaze: In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add
the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the strawberries, lemon rind, maple syrup and lemon juice. Using a potato masher, mash the berries to bring out the juices. Bring them to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, to combine the flavours -- about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook until thickened and syrupy, about five minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the chives. Set aside 175 ml (3/4 cup) of the mixture to use as a dipping sauce. Thread the lamb cubes onto skewers and place on a greased grill over medium-high heat. Brush the cubes with the remaining strawberry glaze and grill until medium-rare, about 20 minutes, turning and basting skewers occasionally with the glaze. Serve the skewers with the reserved glaze as a dipping sauce. Foodland Ontario

Weather, wildlife some hurdles of trip Continued from page 47
“This is most definitely my longest trip,” said Chen, adding that he is pretty clear on what will be the hardest parts of the ride. The climbing, especially with the largetread tires his bike is outfitted with, will be gruelling. Making the ride by himself will also make it harder psychologically, and then waking up every day to another exhausting challenge will be a test of will. That’s not to mention the extremes in weather, as he will be biking through areas that still have snow on the ground and then through intense heat. Then there is the wildlife to contend with. But all those things are part of what he is looking forward to. Trips like this are “reinvigorating,” he said, having combined his love of hiking, camping and biking before in

Cuba and eastern Ontario. The cause he is biking for is also a worthy one, he said. Speaking with Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation staff while planning the ride, Chen said, “I found out that they were focusing on staff education right now, which is right in line with what I would like to raise funds for.”
Chen has a goal of $1,500 which would go into a fund that hospital employees can apply for. A donation page has been set up through www.crazyguyonabike.com/thejimmyproject where Chen will also post updates on his trip. As a parting comment, the director of the foundation, Judith Scott, said, “The fundraiser in me is really excited about the work Philip is doing for the hospital.

In making the presentation, Marion Macdonald, executive director of the Army Cadet League in Ontario, cited the impressive work done by Martin and her team of parent volunteers on behalf of a top-notch cadet program for youth ages 12 to 18 in the Kanata and Stittsville area. Thanks to the committees’ fundraising efforts coupled with support from the corps’s Royal Canadian Legion sponsors, the cadets have been able to enjoy new skis and equipment for their biathlon team, shooting jackets for the cadet rifle team, and musical instruments for the band, as well as camping and canoeing gear. The support committee’s fundraising efforts allowed the corps to participate in the 95th anniversary of commemorative events at Vimy Ridge in France. This year, the support committee was cited for its work bringing together cadets and veterans during the legion’s annual poppy campaign, as well as helping out with community events such as the Almonte Youth Awards Gala.

Good News for ottawa By Jim Watson
Years ago, when I was the head of the Canadian Tourism Commission, I often ran into former Ottawa residents who were living abroad. Without fail, one of the things that always came up when talking about the things they missed about our city was our tap water. It sounds like a strange thing to miss about a city but it really is true that Ottawa has exceptionally good tap water. In fact, in 2013, the City of Ottawa’s drinking water system received a perfect score in Drinking Water System inspections performed by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). The MOE inspections involved up to 14 different aspects of operations including drinking water quality, water quality monitoring programs and operator certification. A perfect score on this inspection reflects what many of us residents take for granted and what those who leave Ottawa realize quickly: Ottawa has some of the best tap water in the world. Building Permits Up Meanwhile, new statistics show that our economy is continuing to grow and we see new opportunities for job creation in the skilled trades sector. Many think of Ottawa as entirely a government town but at a time when the Federal Government is shrinking its workforce, Ottawa’s population is growing and our economy is diversifying. This growth means more demand for both residential and commercial buildings across our city. In 2013 that demand pushed our housing and construction project activity to have 20% construction applications than they did in 2012. In real terms, 2013 saw the City of Ottawa receive $2.4 billion worth of construction applications versus $2 billion in 2012. These figures show that Ottawa’s economy is moving along at a strong pace and that Ottawa is transforming itself for the better. At City Hall we recognize that growth at this level brings challenges to our city’s infrastructure and our ability to deliver services to all residents across Ottawa. But these are challenges that we work hard every day to meet. I am proud that we have built recreation centres in some of the city’s fastest growing neighbourhoods and extended our road, water and sewer networks so that every resident of Ottawa can enjoy all that our city has to offer (including great tap water) wherever they may live.

Erin McCracken/Metroland
Sean McKenny, president of the Ottawa & District Labour council, lays a wreath at Vincent Massey Park to mark the National Day of Mourning on April 28 to pay tribute to those killed or injured while on the job.
Hundreds come out to remember workers killed, injured on the job Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – Tears flowed and heads were lowered as the strains of a haunting melody played from loud speakers at Vincent Massey Park, as hundreds gathered to mark the annual National Day of Mourning remembrance event. “The music you just heard was Marc
Robert Nelson – brother, son, a father, a friend to many and real. My god, he was real,” said Sean McKenney, president of the Ottawa & District Labour Council, at the April 28 event. “You could see him. You could touch him. You could hear him. His voice and his music, as you just did. “Yet in an instant, through no fault of his own, his life ended through the
direct result of the workplace,” said McKenney, who, earlier that day, attended Nelson’s funeral. The 44-year-old Aylmer man, and father of two young children, was killed on April 21 while on the job at the Bank of Canada construction site at Sparks and Bank streets. See WORKERS, page 55

Workers remembered Continued from page 54
But Nelson, whose memory was honoured at the Crazy Horse Stonegrill in Kanata on April 27 by family, friends, and fellow musicians, didn’t go to work to die, said McKenney, whose council represents more than 90 union locals comprised of about 55,000 union members. “But that’s what happened, and each year that’s what happens to an average of a thousand workers across this great country of ours,” he said. Annual event
The National Day of Mourning is marked annually in cities across Canada, in honour of those who have been killed on the job, as well as to call for efforts to prevent future tragedies. The day of remembrance has been held annually on April 28, since it was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991, eight years after it was started by the Canadian Labour Congress. Eighty countries around the world mark the memorial event. In Ottawa, the tribute brought out dozens of union representatives, many of them wearing ribbons and
black armbands, as well as Mayor Jim Watson, city councillors and New Democratic Party leader, Thomas Mulcair. Three Deaths EVERY day
Every day an average of three people are killed and thousands more are injured at work, according to the labour council. “It’s not their fault, but it’s reality; it’s real and it’s happening,” said McKenney, who has called on Ottawa police to investigate the accident that claimed Nelson’s life. “It’s so wrong to call a workplace fatality a mishap.” Too few employers are found criminally liable for failing to protect their employees, though criminal charges can be brought against them, he said. “If it is you who is in charge, then it is you who are responsible and the punishment must fit the crime. Perhaps then we will see fewer workplace deaths, will we see fewer workplace injuries.” To make a donation in support of the Jack & Evelyn Nelson Education Fund, created to further the education of Nelson’s young daughter and son, please visit marcnelson.ca/donate. html.

Alive to Strive Dr. Deb Zimmerman, from Richmond, puts her game face on as Alta Vista resident Roger Hillier holds signs showing his support for his favourite Ottawa Hospital nephrologist, whom he credits for providing stellar treatment to him and several members of his family, who have kidney problems. Zimmerman ran the five-kilometre portion of the annual Alive to Strive Race at Hog’s Back Park on April 27. Organizers say a record-breaking 880 participants turned up for the morning races. This year, the annual event raised $25,000, which will support people living with chronic kidney disease.

GET ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY INVOLVED IN YOUR CHARITABLE GIVING the perfect amount to leave children is enough “money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing. ” One of the most challenging estate planning questions that parents have to wrestle with is how much of their estate should they leave to their children. As Warren Buffet once famously remarked,
Once parents have provided an appropriate amount of financial support to their children, they are often motivated to give back to the community. An increasing number of Canadian families are establishing family foundations in order to encourage all family members to get involved in the family’s charitable giving.
A private foundation is particularly well-suited to a family situation. Family members can be directors or trustees of the foundation and play an active role in deciding how funds will be managed and what charities will be supported by the foundation. Families find that the foundation keeps the family connected and parents can pass along their beliefs and values to children and grandchildren.
Apart from bringing the family together • Significant tax planning opportunities in order to promote charitable giving, a for the family. private family foundation has numerous Although there are costs associated with other benefits including: the establishment of a family foundation, • The ability of the family to decide on a number of financial institutions can an ongoing basis which charitable assist families with the establishment of organizations it will support; a foundation and many of the ongoing • The opportunity to create a legacy which administrative services. will continue once the parents have passed away;

Body found at Hog’s Back
R0012676121
Ottawa police and firefighters were working to recover a body spotted at Hog’s Back falls in the afternoon of Thursday, April 24. The deceased was later identified as John Davies, an amateur photographer who was last seen on April 3. No foul play is suspected, police said. Two amateur photographers and birdwatchers who were taking photos nearby around 2 p.m. when the body was discovered said a woman with binoculars who appeared to be with the police spotted something around 2 p.m. and police began to descend on the park shortly afterwards. The women, Suzanne St-Jean and Diane Kelly, said they are careful to take extra precautions when leaning over the escarpment to snap photos – especially near the water, which is mesmerizing to watch.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Your Body Type &
Setting Goals is the
When your body is out of balance, your cravings are about your body trying to provide stimulation for the dominant organ which is related to your body type. So what can you do? If you crave:
If you are consistent, you will make progress. One way to ensure your consistency is to make simple, highly achievable goals for yourself. You must ensure that you are 90-100% confident that you can stick to the goal for 30 days. If you feel any less confident, you must modify and simplify the goal until you feel it is achievable. For instance, instead of saying “I will cut sugar completely out of my diet”, which may be unrealistic, say “I will only have sugar on the weekends.” Therefore, you are still making a healthy lifestyle change, but one that is easily attainable. Reaching a short term goal and then setting new ones is key to long term success!
Cravings
1. SWEETS & CARBS - your dominant body type is THRYOID Your Solution: Reduce soy and raw cruciferous veggies ( kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc. ). Increase Coconut oil, which contains lauric acid, to promote optimal thyroid function and metabolism.
2. SALT & FAT - your dominant body type is ADRENAL Your Solution: Reduce caffeine & alcohol. Increase almonds which are rich in magnesium.
3. RICH & SPICY - your wine and increase lemons to help balance hormones.
4. DAIRY - your dominant body type is PITUITARY. Your Solution: Decrease potassium rich avocado, which tends to be reduced in this body
Coco-Nutty Pina Colada
Preparation Time: 10 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 cup Coconut water helps to infuse the body with energy boosting electrolytes, while the coconut oil stimulates your metabolism. Perfect for that hot summer day or after a workout.

Barrhaven park to be named Foot Guards Park POLARIS RANGER & RZR ®
®
UNBEATABLE VALUE & PERFORMANCE
LET US PROVE WHY POLARIS IS UNBEATABLE
News - The park at Leamington Way and Ventanna Way in Barrhaven will be named Foot Guards Park, after of the Governor General’s historic infantry. The Foot Guards have been a fixture in the capital for more than 140 years. The guards’ full-dress uniform, which features a scarlet tunic and a bearskin hat, has become a Canadian symbol thanks to the changing of the guard ceremony on Parliament Hill. “Naming this park in their honour will serve as a tribute to their long-standing heritage in our city,” said Steve Desroches, councillor for Gloucester-South Nepean. As an army reserve unit of the 33rd Canadian Brigade Group, the Governor General’s Foot Guards were included in the Freedom of the City honour given by Mayor Jim Watson earlier this year.

Consider lifestyle needs prior to pet ownership Lifestyle - What could be better than introducing a furry, fluffy, loyal pal to your life? There’s no doubt that there are many benefits from owning a pet, but before you bring a dog or cat home, you want
to make sure that your choice will fit in with you and your family. Here are a few tips for choosing the perfect pet: • Don’t make an impulse buy: Do your research and understand the type of care and
commitment your potential pet will need. • Consider things such as whether the dog breed you want needs lots of exercise, otherwise it’ll create havoc in your home, or whether it’s a
cat that needs less attention. • Consider your lifestyle and how a pet will fit in: Do you have a demanding career that means you won’t have lots of time for dog walks and playing in the park? Or do you
live in an apartment building or in close proximity to others and therefore need a quite pet? Do you have a huge yard for a dog to play in? Are there small children in the home that should be considered in
your pet and breed choice? • Go with your gut: You’ll know whether it’s the right pet for you once you see it and spend time with it. News Canada

We would like to thank the community for the support they’ve given to us during this difficult time. We feel deep gratitude to the first responders - the Carp fire department, the EMTs, the police, and the coroner – who shepherded us through a difficult day with the utmost respect, compassion and kindness. Thank you to friends and neighbours who kept us fed and helped us with the tasks of daily life. At Coles we would like to thank Mark and Kevin for their compassion and assistance. We are indebted to Father Paul at St Augustine’s Church who with exceptional kindness and understanding guided us through the ceremony honouring Zachary’s life. And most especially thank you to all of those who joined with us to honour Zach and his extraordinary spirit at the Celebration – friends, neighbours, hockey teams, softball teams, staff and students at St Paul’s secondary school, staff and students at West Carleton Secondary School and the many many friends that Zachary made throughout his life. We are blessed to have such a supportive community. With love, The Melhuishs (Zach’s dad, mom and brother).

Ottawa native honoured for bravery by Gov. Gen. Medal winner disarmed explosive device Jeff Mackey
jeff.mackey@metrolnd.com
News - Some of Canada’s bravest souls gathered at Rideau Hall for official recognition from the Gov. Gen. David Johnston on April 24. The ceremony was filled with police officers, soldiers and ordinary citizens who risked everything in harrowing circumstances to save the lives of others. One such recipient of the Medal of Bravery has strong roots in Nepean. On Feb. 19, 2010 in
Afghanistan, Cpl. Dale Kurdziel volunteered to dismantle a large improvised explosive device located in a small culvert. It took him nearly two hours to successful disarm the device by hand. “The IED was hidden inside of a culvert in Kandahar City,” Kurdziel said, following the convention. I had to crawl into the culvert; it was as wide as my shoulders and as high as my boots, so it was pretty tight.” Kurdziel is currently stationed
in Gagetown N.B. but will soon move to Edmonton to rejoin his wife and son. He said he enjoyed his trip back to Ottawa, especially Nepean where he was born and where his father, grandfather and sisters still live. “It is a great honour, that’s for sure,” said Kurdziel. It’s nice to be recognized by other people for the work that you put forward and/or for placing yourself in danger.” When asked what it was like to meet the Governor General, Kurdziel kept his answer brief and to the point. “He is a pretty nice guy, he has a firm handshake.” Jeff Mackey/Metroland
Cpl. Dale Kurdziel receives a Medal of Bravery from Gov. Gen. David Johnston for his bravery when disarming a difficult-to-reach improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. The medal was given in a ceremony at Rideau Hall on April 24.

Developers keen on pairing suburban parks with schools Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
Thank you to our sponsors
News - Developers say the city isn’t really reaching its intensification goals in the suburbs, even if homes seem more densely packed. While houses might be crammed closer together, it doesn’t mean space in the entire community is well-used, said Frank Cairo of Caivan Communities, one of the developers that participated in a forum discussion on how to build better suburbs on April 24. The unique event brought together a group of five developers and city councillors in a panel format to air concerns and ideas about how to make suburban development work better. A good 70 per cent of Ottawa’s “urban” residents live in the suburbs, said Alain Miguelez, the city’s program manager of intensification and zoning, and tremendous growth in the suburbs is highlighting the need to fix up how communities outside the Greenbelt are
designed. Half the land in a new suburban community is written off before developers begin laying out where the homes go, said Rob Pierce, land development director for Monarch. “It makes it hard to hit those intensification targets,” he said. “We’re doing our parts ... need to look at the other stakeholders and how they can use their land more efficiently.” Infighting and “turf wars” between utility agencies and other players vying for land in the suburbs, such as schools and the city’s parks department, often lead to a bloated amount of public space set aside for all those elements, said Pierre Dufresne, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association and vice president with Tartan Homes, who also participated in the discussion. “When we take a piece of land and more than 50 per cent of it is provided for other interests before the first house is built, it limits our ability to meet the intensification policies in the (city’s) Official Plan
to the extent we otherwise could.” Nitty-gritty topics like where to place hydro boxes on lawns and how wide roads should be are some of the topics that will help the city drill down to create better standards for the elements it requires when new suburban communities are built. The planning committee will receive a report on “guiding principles” for the Building Better Suburbs project at its meeting on May 13. The overall project has been extended into the fall – it was supposed to wrap up before the summer – and a final report is expected in November. There will be another public forum in the fall where residents can view and comment on the suggested changes before they go to the planning committee for final approval, said Lee Anne Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design. Initial public consultations happened last fall. See INFRASTRUCTURE, page 75

Infrastructure takes up half of suburbs: developers Continued from page 74
Developers are happy to be involved in the process because in the case of building new communities, they serve as the main voice for consumers and future residents, Cairo said. COMBINING PARKS AND SCHOOLS
One of the big topics developers are looking forward to is the city’s new willingness to pair parks with school sites. The major example of that is the city’s insistence that parks be separated from school sites. A recent example saw the city require a fence to be built
between a park and the neighbouring school yard in the Avalon development in Cumberland, said Coun. Stephen Blais. Parents shouldn’t have to sign waivers for their kids to cross from a schoolyard into a city park, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Discussion at the forum indicated the city is now more willing to look at things like joining city parks with schoolyards. Dufresne also suggested looking at putting stormwater management ponds in parks as a natural feature, instead of finding other additional space for the ponds.
That would be a throwback to the way it used to work before amalgamation, and developers welcome that, he said. The old city halls were smaller and developers could work more directly with city staff across the different departments, he said. “There are barriers between us now to be able to resolve these issues,” Dufresne said. Integration between all the players involved in constructing new communities is key moving forward, said a number of councillors and develop-
ers involved in the discussion. “Everyone needs to be going in the same direction,” said Jack Stirling of Minto.
Frank Cairo of Caivan Communities draws a diagram showing how the city’s need for more public space for roads and utilities constrain suburban lot sizes in order to meet the city’s intensification goals. Laura Mueller/Metroland

You are in a position of power this week, Aries. But this doesn’t mean you can impose your will onto someone else. Don’t try to take over any situation. Taurus, someone might dredge up uncomfortable feelings, but you need to muddle through with a smile on your face. This is the case at home and at work. Gemini, separate your personal and professional lives, particulary with regard to potentially contentious issues. You may want to keep mum for a while. Cancer, make your feelings known when something upsets you this week. Sharing these feelings will benefit you and your friends and colleagues now and in the future. Leo, your feelings of restlessness this week can benefit from a creative outlet. Engage in an activity that keeps your hands and your mind busy, such as a craft or a home project. Virgo, minimize any negative energy this week. Strive to be a source of optimism when others are looking at the glass as half empty. It can work wonders.
Libra, after several days of working entirely off of adrenaline, you finally have some time to kick back and relax. This will help you recharge your internal battery. Your motivation is very strong this week, Scorpio. You can accomplish much more than you ever expected in a short period of time. Pick your projects wisely. Sagittarius, you are unable to convey some feelings to others, but your body language will go a long way toward getting your message across. Remain conscious of your actions. One of your goals this week is to propel yourself further without pushing others too hard, Capricorn. You want to be successful but not at the expense of others. Aquarius, focus on practical matters, such as your career goals, for the time being. Crucial decisions must be made and new relationships must be fostered. Pisces, trust your gut instincts on an issue that has been puzzling you this week. Your intuition might be your best asset.

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! R0012661057
