65-year-old dies one week after struck by vehicle on April 22 Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the driver of a vehicle involved in a hit and run that left the 65-year-old victim without any memory of the incident.

Police responded to a phone call from a passerby who described seeing an injured man lying by a bus stop at Chimo Drive and Katimavik Road on April 22 at about 4:17 p.m.

Police officers found the victim lying on the ground.

The man told Ottawa para-

medics that he had a sore leg.

An X-ray at hospital revealed the man’s leg was broken, and had likely been run over by a vehicle as tire marks were visible.

While at the scene, the man appeared to be confused and did not know what had happened, said police.

“He knew who he was, but was a bit disoriented and couldn’t recall anything that had just happened,” said Const.

Marc Soucy, an Ottawa police spokesman.

Investigators said the man “did not remember anything after getting off an OC Transpo bus (possibly Route 96 or Route 62).”

The man had indicated to paramedics that he was diabetic.

His injuries were not considered life-threatening, said Soucy.

However, the man died in hospital on May 1.

“Since he passed away, we are waiting on the results of the autopsy (to determine cause of death),” said Soucy.

Police are seeking any information about the incident which they are treating as a hit and run.

The victim is described as a white male, who was wearing a dark and light grey jacket, running shoes and jeans at the time of the incident.

Ottawa man charged with attempted murder Wife, daughter suffer traumatic injuries in knife attack Trevor Greenway Metro Ottawa

News - An Ottawa real estate agent is facing two counts of attempted murder after he allegedly attacked his wife and daughter in a domestic dispute that sent the pair to hospital with “serious traumatic injuries” late Saturday.

Labib Khawas, 55, apFile An Ottawa realtor was charged with attempted murder after allegedly attacking his wife peared in court via video link Monday as the attempted and daughter in a domestic dispute on May 3. murder charges were read to him. He stood motionless and only mumbled a broken “yes,” when the judge asked him if

he understood.

Paramedics responded to Khawas’ upscale home at 66 Links Rd. near the Canadian Golf and Country Club around 11:15 p.m. Saturday night for a domestic assault. When they arrived, they treated Khawas’ wife Dianne and his 20-something daughter Jenna for serious injuries.

Paramedics would not confirm or deny reports that Jenna had her finger sliced off with a butcher knife and Dianne was slashed in the neck.

Khawas is a real-estate agent at Coldwell Banker on Woodward Drive, but his bio and photo have already been removed from the website.

Staff at the Ottawa real estate firm wouldn’t say much, only that they are trying to deal with the tragic news as best they can.

are dealing with a lot of different things right now. Right now we just have no comment,” said vice-president of operations and chief financial officer Beth Moore.

When asked if she was shocked about the allegation that one of her brokers was up for attempted murder, she said, “It is what it is. We are dealing with the situation the best of our capabilities and we have a lot of people working with us to figure out what to do, next steps. Obviously, we are shocked.”

Khawas’ wife Dianne is vice-principal at John Young Elementary School in Kanata and recently made headlines in the city for implementing an anti-bullying campaign at the elementary school. Staff at the school wouldn’t comment, but said their “thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.”

Dianne Khawas will be absent from her duties at John Young, said a letter by the school’s principal, Pete Veurtjes, which went out to parents on May 5.

“I have been in contact with vice-principal Khawas and on behalf of the school community, extended my support to her and her family,” reads the letter. “I am pleased to let you know that she is expected to make a full recovery.

“A resource team was at the school today to provide assistance, counselling and other support to students and staff.

There are resources available regarding dealing with difficult situations for parents and students on the district website.”

The Crown has asked for a three-day adjournment to gather more evidence. Khawas was expected back in court Thursday.

Khawas is the second Ottawa real-estate agent to be charged with attempted murder in the last month, as an Orléans man was charged with attempted murder for allegedly beating his wife with a baseball bat in early April.

The vicious mauling of a 14-month-old child on Sunday, April 27, in Nepean will again raise many issues and concerns about aggressive dogs, and rightfully so.

One solution to reducing dog attacks resides in the licensing of all dogs.All dogs kept in the city, and, in-fact, in all municipalities across the province, must have a valid dog license.

However, it is estimated only about 20 per cent of dogs in this city are licensed.

collective, the lives of others, specifically the elderly who are not working.

What a demeaning vision of the purpose of human life, to work so that others may enjoy social programs they have not paid for.

There is no reason why people who are working cannot choose how to spend their own money on whatever services they wish and save for the time when they do not wish or are unable to work. That is what a free country looks like.

It is only when services are run by the use of force that children become slaves to the pensions and benefits of prior generations - generations who have voted to spend on themselves the money their children and grandchildren have not yet earned.

Brynna Leslie’s vision of universal child care is not proper in a free society. It is a vision suitable for a country run by the ideas of Karl Marx. We have seen such societies and are moving in the direction of becoming one - a society where individual rights are erased and groups struggle for the levers of political power until one of them achieves total power.

Sandy Holmes, Parenting Mediator, “The Children Come First”

PE SA ND LE iN g

Re: Universal childcare is an economic issue, column, April 24, KKS. Columnist Brynna Leslie begins reasonably by stating how much she values the care only she, as the mother, could provide to her children, and I completely agree there is no one on Earth more suited to raising her children.

When parents plan to have children they must decide how they will handle the time and financial responsibilities of giving birth and two decades of financial support.

A decade later, however, she decides that her children are no longer the top priority and that her job is more important, so third-party child care would be better.

The problem is that “affordable” is just a euphemism for using the force of the government so she wants to make someone else pay. This would absolve her of the responsibility she took on voluntarily as a parent, making anyone except her responsible for her choices.

Leslie incorrectly states that parents are often forced to make a choice between family and their careers. This is a clear misuse of the term “force”, which means the initiation or threat of physical harm to another person.

If force was defined according to Leslie’s usage, it would mean force is applied in any situation where a human being is required to choose between alternative actions.

In this situation, Leslie clearly made a completely voluntary choice before having children, knowing that as parents’ priorities must be set and that you cannot have something just by wishing for it. No one forced her to have a child, much less three of them. Babies do not simply “arrive” as she states, but are planned.

The fact she had very little net take-home pay after working at home and making childcare arrangements is a direct consequence of her choice to have three children and wanting to work at the same time.

It is also a consequence of the fact that a large portion of her family earnings are taken by force and used to pay for the wishes of others, often on things Leslie’s family would neither want or need, never mind agree

to voluntarily.

Since almost half her household income is taken in taxes of myriad types, she is prevented, by force from being able to select from among the various priorities she may have in life, including parenting.

She is forced to pay for water and bus monopolies at the municipal level and electricity, education and food monopolies at the provincial level.

These are but a few examples of the thousands of interventions by government force that prevent free choice by citizens, prevent costs from being lower and prevent the proper functioning of the economy.

Leslie is in this sense partially correct that her choices are restricted (parenting versus employment) but it is the very concept she wishes to use against others that is the cause of the problem. She does not realize it, but she has met the enemy and it is her own ideology.

The worst statement in the column is when she says “we need all working age people to stay in the workforce, to continue to build our economy and pay taxes to support social programs”.

The direct implication here is that the purpose of having children and of people living and working is to support the

To the editor,

And unlicensed dogs are less likely to be spayed or neutered, critical factors in preventing aggression.

Spaying and neutering not only helps eliminate behavioural problems, but also prevents many medical issues. The large number of unlicensed dogs in Ottawa poses, as the record clearly reveals, a threat to public health and safety.

It would be easy to argue that unlicensed animals pose as much a threat to public health as second hand smoke.

The reason the city’s anti-

smoking bylaw worked is because it was enforced.

Failure by the city to enforce this bylaw constitutes blatant discrimination against those responsible owners who do choose to license their dogs, and smacks of poor governance.

The animal control bylaw must be enforced or it will not achieve its purpose.

Providing the resources to enforce animal control regulations will help this community protect its residents from aggressive dogs and their irresponsible owners. Can we expect this to happen?

Derailing the blame game

T

he city is waging a war of words with Via Rail over recent malfunctions at Barrhaven rail crossings and, unfortunately, the fallout is public safety.

Via fired the latest broadside last week, sending out a press release that accused two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossings on April 25 and 28, and in one instance, damaging a crossing gate.

The accusation caught the city off guard, leaving council scrambling for more information about the two alleged incidents. Diane Deans, the chairwoman of the city’s transit commission, said it was the first time anyone at city hall had heard about it.

The city later met with representatives from Via and Railterm to review both alleged incidents and concluded that while the Fallowfield crossing did go into fail-safe mode on April 28, the incident wasn’t caused by the crossing gate making contact with an OC Transpo bus, according to a letter written by Mayor Jim Watson on April 29. A statement released

by Via on May 1 concurred with that assessment, but maintained that the buses in both incidents “stopped beyond the stop line,” and indicated that “these types of breaches are unacceptable.”

It’s a little disturbing that the city first learned about Via’s findings through the media, but hardly

surprising, considering the history between the two following a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train at a Barrhaven crossing last September, which resulted in the deaths of six people.

Over the ensuing months, the city received reports of major issues with signals at six Via crossings in Barrhaven. Frustrated by the number of signal malfunctions, council soon started criticizing Via, with the mayor threatening to ask the Ministry of Transportation to intervene and force Via to do its job.

What we have here is failure to communicate.

The mayor said both sides need to stop playing the blame game. A good start would be for the city to find ways to enforce its bylaw requiring bus drivers to stop at signalled rail crossings, instead of pointing accusatory fingers at Via. That this is an election year and council is spooked over the potential for legal fallout from the collision seem to only fan the flames of councillors’ desperation to avoid being caught in the fallout.

For its part, Via must get its act together and fix the signals at rail crossings in Barrhaven, and not spend so much effort seeking a scapegoat.

Both sides must find ways to improve communication – we all end up losing by playing the blame game.

Is it time to take a stand against sitting?

S

itting is the new smoking, we’ve been reading. Incessantly we’ve been reading it. So incessantly that “sitting is the new smoking” is the new annoying cliche.

Still, there’s no denying it. Expert after expert tells us, through our helpful news media, that excessive sitting – which is to say, the sitting that we all do – is responsible for such things as sore backs, elevated risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Hence, sitting being the new smoking.

Most of us fall into the at-risk category.

According to Statistics Canada, in a study quoted by Canadian Press, only 15 per cent of adults in Canada are getting the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of physical activity a week.

The sad irony of this is that virtually the entire history of our civilization involves a struggle to allow us to sit more. When farmers produced surplus food, it enabled more people to live in towns and cities, where they could take jobs that enabled them to sit instead of walk around fields. When industrialization and mechanization produced machines and assembly lines, it took fewer people to make the products we needed. So the others could sit, becoming lawyers and journalists and image

The mobile phone meant you didn’t have to get up to answer the phone. The remote control meant you didn’t have to walk across the room to change the channel. The Internet meant you didn’t have to go to the dictionary or the encyclopedia to look something up.

Plus, sports editors didn’t have to get up to answer calls from drunks at 1 a.m. to settle arguments about who scored a short-handed goal in 1959, because now the drunks could look it up on their phones.

able to mute Don Cherry without getting off the couch! Imagine being able to look up the proper spelling of “achieve” without having to lift that heavy dictionary off the shelf.

The parallels with smoking are not exact, as we shall see, but there is one here. The generations of heavy smokers who were our parents and grandparents were told that smoking would make them more sophisticated and desirable and that, far from being associated with health risks, cigarettes were smoked by doctors. Similarly, no one told us there was anything wrong with sitting. In our modern society, we associated sitting with working hard at our desks and working hard was a good thing.

Where the parallel is not exact is in the fact that, so far, no social stigma attaches to smoking. Beginning about 25 years ago, smokers became pariahs, banished from workplaces, public spaces and people’s living rooms. That has not happened to sitters – so far.

But it is an intriguing possibility. Imagine the chairs disappearing from people’s living rooms, much as the ashtrays did. Imagine the chairs vanishing from the office, so that people who want to sit have to have to go outside for chair breaks.

Anti-sitting zealots will demand non-sitting

zones in public places and at major events (we have already had a preview of this in the recurring debate about lawn chairs at music festivals in the city).

From there it is a short step to sitting-cessation programs, the marketing of stop-sitting aids and a debate about second-hand sitting.

We will also have to be prepared to deal with the invention of electronic sitting.

It may work. Sitting may become a thing of the past. But we have to be ready for the consequences of that. Can Canada accommodate all the new non-sittings? More specifically, does Ontario have a place to stand?

Women have long been essential to family income

F

ollowing a recent column I wrote about the need for a national childcare strategy, I received some mail.

That’s always great. I love getting mail. There were some people who agreed wholeheartedly that the lack of quality, subsidized childcare was keeping women out of the workforce and that that is a bad thing.

There were others, naturally, who don’t believe subsidies for childcare are appropriate, because it’s better for young children to be raised at home with their mothers.

There was one comment in particular along those lines that really grabbed me from someone in the latter camp: “I would argue the only reason it requires two incomes to support the average family these days is because enough two income families exist to push the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse housing prices (and other prices) out of reach of most families who want to be single income.”

And then it struck me: People actually believe that the idealistic representation of the 1950s family, where dad goes to work and mom stays home with her apron (think Leave it to Beaver) – existed at some point in our history.

It’s this kind of misunderstanding of that serves to undermine feminism. It’s very easy for conservatives who are resistant to the idea of women in the workplace to say that a single income was sufficient histori-

cally and therefore should be good enough now. It’s almost a clean way to mask pure sexism.

Unfortunately, the idea that one income was once enough to support most Canadian families is, frankly, a lie.

As one of Canada’s foremost historians on women and family, Bettina Bradbury, noted in a 1975 essay on the topic, “At most periods in Canadian history, working-class families have, at some point in their lifecycle, relied on more than one worker ... children’s earnings were fundamental to the family economy of all

but the most skilled workers in nineteenth century Canadian cities.”

Bradbury, a feminist, herself, was always ahead of her time. Nearly 40 years ago, she had the foresight to examine the “real” history of the working-class, rather than that which was represented by official statistics.

But women are not well represented in wage-earning statistics over the last 150 years.

The nature of their contributions was thus largely ignored in the first half of the twentieth century literature. And even now, there is little discussion of it in mainstream curricula.

“To understand how the working-class survived and reproduced itself, all kinds of work must be considered,” wrote Bradbury, “not simply wage labour but nonwage labour, self-employment, home production and domestic labour, involve-

ment in formal and informal economies.”

Bradbury goes onto examine exactly what that second income may have looked like. Married women outside of formalized wage labour contributed to the family income in a number of different ways – running laundries, working as domestics, even prostitution.

“Behind the male rhetoric about the need to support their families must have been the uneasy realization that few men could always support a wife and family at home on their wages alone,” writes Bradbury.

Even by the 1950s, a single income was not enough for most families.

This is supported by modern historical literature, and I’m sure most people have an historical anecdote in their own families which would expose the “Leave it to Beaver ideal” as a lie.

For my own grandparents R0202496643

who immigrated to Canada after the Second World War, (and many like them), surviving on a single income was far from the norm.

Between them, they always earned a double income.

Sometimes, my grandfather would work two jobs.

But for the better part of 35 years, my grandfather worked days and my grandmother worked evenings or nights.

She also helped reduce their rent by taking in the landlord’s child along with her own five children during the day.

They had to make a lot of sacrifices and never relied on “strangers” to care for their children.

It would be nice to think that as we have moved forward as a society to respect the contributions of women in the workplace, we could also consider policies that would work to support rather than undermine them.

Building a foundation of trust...one home at a time

Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision Application 405 Huntmar Drive and 3001 Palladium Drive Tuesday, May 27, 2014 TIME: 7 to 9 p.m.

Hall A - John G. Mlacak Centre 2500 Campeau Drive The purpose of the subject Plan of Subdivision application (City File No. D07-16-14-0003) is to facilitate the development of a 27 lot prestige business park. This new business park is envisioned to attract low-profile industrial and employment generating uses and provide for retail uses to compliment the future Tanger Outlet Center to the immediate south and east of the site.

The proposed subdivision design illustrates four internal public streets, all terminating in cul-de-sacs, with a plan to re-align Palladium Drive with the future Campeau Drive extension. Options for the re-alignment of Palladium Drive will be explored through this Planning Act application and through a Class Environmental Assessment Study. The Plan of Subdivision will also create one stormwater management block in the southwest corner of the site and a block for the protection of Feedmill Creek.

Crack down on those who fail to stoop and scoop To the editor,

Re: Stoop-and-scoop this spring, editorial, April 24,

Connected to your community

KKS. I live in the Pineview community and walk the paths daily for exercise.

The issue of un-scooped dog poo is an all-year one, not one for spring only. We see even greater deposits on and along walking paths in winter as both owners and animals avoid the off-path deep snow.

The park is a dog latrine, se-

agents and the use of cameras.

Your editorial states that bylaw enforcement officers “have better things to do than stake out parks on the off- chance a bad owner will offend in plain view.”

That statement begs the question: What are the better things?

Is the subject of un-scooped poo relegated to a lower order of importance?

Dogs running unleashed and threatening people and other pets, litter, and people using and abandoning shopping carts are additional things requiring, but not receiving, the attention of bylaw officers.

When and where do the officers look?

On any given day at the Pineview area parks, especially as dusk comes, one is sure to see dogs depositing with no owner pick-up.

How else can one account for the heavy and widespread deposits?

The city uses cameras in other situations as effective tools of law enforcement.

It could also use them judiciously and strategically in our parks to great effect to address the issue of pooping with no scooping (and, simultaneously, other misdemeanors).

Derek Oudit Pineview To the editor,

Please don’t be a litterbug Re: Stoop-and-scoop this spring, editorial, April 24, KKS. I appreciate last week’s editorial regarding the need for dog owners needing to stoop and scoop.

However, it seems dog owners aren’t the only ones needing to pick up the slack.

Driving on Kanata Avenue past the Centrum, it is impossible not to notice the woods on the east side of the street littered with trash.

If you keep walking further down, on the west side of the street, all the sprouting shrubs are interspersed with more garbage.

Most of these items could be easily recycled or composted at home.

Why is it too much of an inconvenience these days to pick up after oneself?

When I was at a park earlier this week, some young guys casually tossed their water bottles in the garbage can, instead of taking them home to recycle.

When I was in kindergarten, I learned not to be a litterbug.

Later on, I learned about

the importance of recycling.

Fellow citizens: let’s revisit these lessons. Parents: teach your kids.

Kids: teach your parents.

Every year, the Clean the Capital campaign comes around.

How about we keep it clean year-round? If we don’t, there may be a few more mountains dotting the horizon around Carp.

riously curtailing its wider use as a picnic/recreation site.

Your call for more education and peer pressure from responsible owners who pick up after their pets is reasonable.

However, these measures are ignored by habitual offenders.

Point out the posted signs for pets to be leashed and to stoop and scoop and you are met with threats and belligerence.

The scale of the problem is immense; all sizes of animals are involved as the deposits show.

There is also an interesting bit of pet owner behavior as there seems to be a number of owners who pick up their pets’ poo in plastic bags but instead of taking the bagged deposit away or even placing them in the available garbage bins, they drop them on and along the pathways. It would be a lesser evil if they were to leave the poo where it was deposited.

I believe the situation is such as to warrant deterrent measures now. It has been very bad for years.

I believe also that only the recalcitrant and irresponsible miscreants should be targeted, fined and made to pick up the poo. They blatantly disregard the posted signs.

I am advocating two measures to this end: the vigilance of the bylaw enforcement

Aeroplan Announces Exclusive Online Marketplace Partnership with SHOP.CA Strategic Alliance offers unique member benefits

Michelle Nash/Metroland

A handful of Kanata North residents worked all day to construct a new community garden. A total of 26 boxes will now rest along a hydro corridor, off Klondike Road.

North Kanata residents build area’s first community garden Michelle Nash

Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A handful of dedicated north Kanata residents braved rain and tired muscles to see that the neighbourhood’s first community garden is ready for planting this season.

A total of 26 gardening boxes will be available this year, with nine allocated to

the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre, three for the food cupboard and the remaining for neighbours.

Garden co-ordinator Natasha Bridgen said there is a lot of interest from the community, resulting in a waiting list for boxes.

The garden is situated along a hydro corridor, off Klondike Road and was made possible from a city better

neighbourhood grant.

The gardeners said it was not easy to get approvals for the location, as they were dealing with both Hydro One and the city and needed access to water for the garden to be a success.

The grant helped with the water problem, funding the installation of a water pipe.

Garden long-time dream for green thumbs Continued from page 11

“It was a necessity,” said community gardener Sarah Dehler.

The raised garden boxes were constructed by the city and delivered on May 3. The community garden’s members helped place them on the site, fill them and spread mulch to keep the weeds and grass from becoming overgrown. The garden will also have rain barrels to collect excess water.

This project has been a long-time dream of Bridgen

and Dehler, and was made a reality last year when they met Norma Strachan at a cityrun beautification conference, who helped secure the funding.

“We have been trying for the past three years, it hasn’t been easy to find a spot or to find the funding,” Bridgen said. The group said they were excited to start their first season and welcomed interested residents to email kanatanorthcg@gmail for more information, or visit their website Michelle Nash/Metroland at sites.google.com/site/kana- Volunteers help to build boxes for the new community garden tanorthcommunitygarden. on May 3.

How to stick to your fitness goals conflicting appointments.

Hire a personal trainer to increase your chances of success by 80 percent. Tell your friends and group exercise instructor about your resolution, and update them on your progress and challenges.

• Drink more water, eat a little less: If you try to cut out entire food groups or survive on celery and water alone, you will fail.

So try eating a little less.

When out, eat slowly, savour the flavours, and take half home for lunch the next day. Your metabolism slows down after seven in the evening, so aim to finish supper before that to burn more calories than you would store as fat.

Studies show that drinking 500ml of water 30 minutes before a meal reduces your hunger so you eat less at the meal.

Lifestyle - You can reach your health resolution goals if you have your eyes wide open, and arm yourself with some key pieces of knowledge. From Chris Laperle, GoodLife Fitness’personal training regional manager with Alberta GoodLife Fitness, here are some proven tips to help you get there: • Seek small victories: Break your goal down into small goals you know you can do. If you’re busy, and are booking workouts twice a day, everyday, there’s a greater chance you’ll fail. Instead, check your schedule, start small and grow from there.

• Gather support: Tell the club receptionist that you’re proud of yourself for getting to the gym for the second time this week.

Share your workout goal and schedule with coworkers so they don’t book

Tysen aims to raise $1 million for the Make a Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario.

May 14th is Children and Youth in Care Day On March 25th 2014, Honourable David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, granted royal assent to Bill 53, An Act to Proclaim Children and Youth in Care Day. This day brings attention to the enormous contributions that children and youth in and leaving care make to the province, as well as the strength, bravery and resilience they demonstrate in the face of adversity.

This is our opportunity to raise awareness about children and youth in care and to recommit to supporting them and helping them reach their full potential.

Let’s bring back play this summer Spring is finally here and with it, the sounds of laughter and kids playing are in the air once again.

Bike rides, shooting hoops and playground fun are just some of the ways kids get active in the spring and summer months.

This month, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is celebrating the strength and resilience of approximately 600 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Though 90% of the time children and youth remain within their family home, there are circumstances that may prevent this. Situations may warrant that a child or youth be removed from their home for a short period of time until the environment is improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams. The strength they have developed is admirable.

Concerns abound over Kanata Town Centre building heights Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - A public meeting outlining proposed increases of building heights in Kanata won few supporters on April 28.

Residents of various areas across Kanata voiced their concerns, saying that taller buildings would cause traffic and transit problems that wouldn’t be solved by the city’s transitway improvements and would ruin the quiet, suburban character of Kanata’s Town Centre and other areas.

City staff was able to give an easy answer to one of the community’s concerns. With regards to allowing taller buildings in the Kanata Town Centre, residential areas would not be candidates.

“We are not touching residential areas,” said city planner Andrew McCreight.

McCreight and other city staff were on-hand at the Kanata Recreation Complex to explain the proposed areas that could be rezoned to al-

low taller buildings, as well as the secondary plan amendment proposal allowing 10 to 30 storey buildings in the Kanata Town Centre.

Many of the proposed changes have to do with the city’s new policy to encourage intensification near an existing or planned transit station or corridor.

Community members at the meeting questioned the city’s decision to allow taller buildings to be built potentially before transit improvements are made. While McCreight said that could happen in some cases, city planner Alain Miguelez said it is important to allow highrise developments to begin construction to feed the improved transit system.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said that work on some transit improvements (part of the city’s rapid transit plan) would underway as early as this fall.

“For people leaving Kanata to go downtown, they are going to notice an improvement in the link between

Pinecrest and Woodroffe,” he said. “We are building a dedicated bus lane.”

The decision to spend $800,000 on those improvements came from commuter feedback that the current Pinecrest stop is a major bottleneck.

Work on dedicated bus lanes between Bayshore and Moodie Drive will also be under way late this year or early next year, he said.

TOWN CENTRE INTENSIFICATION

The Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan proposal was of particular concern to residents at the meeting.

One woman said allowing 10 to 30 storey buildings in the town centre would cause transit and intensification problems, which she had moved to Kanata to escape.

Others said the planned transit improvements would not reduce traffic as much as was suggested.

not mean any kind of development of that height can go in.

Developers would still have to make a case to city council explaining why their development would fit in the community based on traffic and environment impact studies.

“These studies are very important to inform what goes in and what doesn’t,” said McCreight.

Concerns also arose with regards to residential neighbourhoods in the designated Kanata Town Centre area, which is bordered by Eagleson Road to the east, on the west by Didsbury Road, to the north by Campeau Drive south by Katimavik Road.

However, those residential areas would not be candidates for high rises, said McCreight.

McCreight also said areas south of the Queensway would not be suitable for buildings in the range of 20 to 30 storeys due to unsuitable soil, however, the bedrock north of the Queensway can support taller buildings.

Part of the public meeting was to get residents’

City planner Andrew McCreight makes a presentation to Kanata residents during a public meeting on April 28 about proposed increases in allowable building heights in parts of Kanata. opinions on where 10 to 30 storey buildings could go in, and where they shouldn’t.

McCreight also highlighted the city’s requirements to taper off tall buildings based on their proximity to lower buildings. For example, if a developer wanted to build a five storey building, they would have to lower the height as it gets closer to an existing, shorter building.

Though Hubley said he

has concerns about intensification, he said it would be done intelligently, taking into account the net effect of proposed developments on traffic, sewers and hydro.

“Town centre was always planned to be the most dense part of Kanata,” he said.

McCreight said he anticipates presenting the city with the planning committee’s recommendations in early July.

Community - Belleview and Vanstone Drive residents will see ditches at the front of their property dug up to improve the drainage years after a freak storm saw nearly 1,500 basements flooded in Ottawa’s west end.

A public meeting was held on April 30 at the Kanata Recreation Complex to explain the results of an investigation into the 2009 flood and to show what the city is going to do about it.

The city’s solution is to dig out existing ditches and increase the capacity of the ditch pipe system by installing larger diameter piping.

That brought out many questions from residents, especially with regards to how flexible city contractors might be when it comes to existing yard landscaping and other concerns.

While the solution appears to be a good one, their remains some scepticism among residents, said Katimavik Hazeldean Community Association president Rod MacLean.

“Sometimes what sounds great doesn’t quite fit what it seems was actually in people’s

streets relies on ditches running in front of yards and below driveways. “We found that a lot of those ditches had been filled in,” said Eric Tousignant who

minds,” said MacLean. “So there is a certain hesitation.”

Drainage improvements throughout Ottawa’s west have been implemented since 2010 as a result of the city’s 2009 investigation. However, Bel-

leview Drive and Vanstone Drive are unique areas as they have no underground storm drains.

Ditch work to be finished this year

MAY DAYS!

Continued from page 19

The investigation found that eavestroughs that feed into some homes’ weeping tile system or sump pumps contributed to basement flooding, he said, and suggested residents redirect their eavestrough outlets further from their houses.

As for the city’s work in the areas so far, the city has created an emergency overflow system at the north corner of Belleview, installed manhole covers without holes in them to keep excess water from entering the sewer system, and performed fog testing to look for breaks in the system.

Work on ditches is expected to start during mid to late summer and be done by 2014.

Depending on the individual property, ditches may have to be re-dug and lined with sod, and some driveways excavated to install 500 mm diameter pipe.

Mark McMillan, the city’s project manager, said the city’s policy is to affect “as few trees as possible (and) as few hedges as possible,” he said, adding that each house is in an individual situation.

Several community members said the existing ditches at the front of their property are already quite steep and deep, making them difficult to mow. City staff said they do not plan on making the ditches any deeper than they were originally meant to be; they said placing grass in the ditches is essential to protect

the underlying soil from erosion.

The city’s drainage work in the area will not raise taxes for residents, said staff, though some residents expressed interest in the cost of installing an underground storm sewer system.

However, Hubley explained that kind of upgrade would be paid for through local tax increases.

“My impression is that this (ditch work) is the way most people want to go,” said Hubley.

MacLean said that while an underground system seems like a good idea, “I don’t know that very many people are interested to the point that they are willing to add a ton of money to their taxes.”

Top dogs compete in Ottawa Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - With tails wagging and fur flying, one of the largest police dog seminars in Canada ended with a K9 competition to find the country’s top dog.

The Ottawa police service hosted the largest Canadian Police Canine Association seminar in the group’s history, with more than 100 of North America’s top dogs attending on May 1.

The seminar, which aimed to have K9 units across the country share their training and experience, took place over four days at the Bonnenfant Centre in Dunrobin.

The seminar wrapped up with the Iron Dog competition – an intense obstacle course for dogs and their handlers which took place at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre in Kanata.

Dozens of dogs and their partners waded through muddy water, crawled through

pipes and made their way over various other obstacles, often with handlers having to lift and coax their canine counterparts through some parts of the course.

But all of that is part of the daily routine for K9 unit officers and their dogs, said Ottawa police Sgt. Jamie Soltendieck, Ottawa’s K9 program co-ordinator and one of the main organizers of the seminar.

“It’s a fun event that we put on usually at the end of the week so the dogs can get out and burn up some energy,” he said. “It’s all stuff that you encounter on a daily basis when you are working in operations with your dog.”

Though competition is friendly, Soltendieck said everyone there is out to be “top dog.”

The Canadian Police Canine Association is the largest police canine group in Canada, though its base tends to be in western Canada, said Soltendieck. Hold-

ing the largest seminar in the association’s history in Ottawa was a big step in bringing more central and eastern Canadian K9 units into the fold, he said.

“The CPCA has a strong base in western Canada. It’s always been that way. We’ve had some agencies from Ontario in it over the years, but we wanted to work hard to try to bring it further out east, to Ontario and beyond, so I think by all accounts it looks like we’ve been affective at doing that.”

The seminar was likely a success thanks to the instructors who came out, said Soltendieck. While instructors from across the country came to lend a hand, many from the U.S. came as well.

The seminar offered several training opportunities including medical training for major canine trauma, the use of newly developed camera technology for police dogs, narcotics and explosives tracking and more.

K9 units will be taking what they’ve learned to help improve their programs and use their dogs more safely and more effectively in their home cities.

As for the winners of the Iron Dog competition, Soltendieck wouldn’t say.

“All of our participants took something of value from the seminar and were winners,” he said.

Kanata Girl Guides sponsor scholarship Portage Over Poverty initiative raises $8,000 by fourth year Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Katherine Shaw, 16, left, Emma Rogerson, 17, Jessica Dobson, 17 and Kshamina Ghelani, 17, portage their cardboard canoe on the Parliament Building grounds on April 27.

“What’s more Guiding than a bunch of people with canoes?”

The initiative began in 2011, and raises the bulk of its funds through portage team pledges of $100 or more, with donations given throughout the day of the event adding to the amount.

So far, the money has gone towards funding Girl Guides and Girl Scouts groups in need in various places throughout the world, as well as groups in Ontario and Nunavut who wanted to start a Guiding program but didn’t have the funds.

By helping grow more Girl Guides and Girl Scouts groups, more girls in need are given Guiding training and can participate in service activities like Portage Over Poverty, said Law. “This year the girls have decided to change it a little bit,” she said. “We are going to sponsor our own Guiding scholarship.”

The scholarship will be made available to a local girl who exemplifies the tenets of being a Girl Guide, said Kshamini, like doing community service, being involved in their community and works hard at school.

“This year we wanted to do something more local that we could kind of see the results from, and education is really important to our unit, so we

figured that would be a good place to put it,” she said.

With groups from as far as Seaway Valley, Stittsville and Orléans taking part, Kshamina said it is “really cool” to see the event continue to thrive and attract excited participants with her and her friends at the helm.

News - With a small fleet of cardboard canoes and a scavenger hunt near Parliament Hill, the 2nd Kanata Rangers have raised thousands of dollars to reduce poverty.

They are known as those POP girls thanks to their Portage Over Poverty event, which just had its fourth event.

This year’s Portage Over Poverty raised $1,900 which will be given out as a scholarship.

The event, organized entirely by Rangers (ages 15 to 17), had teams of four to six people carry decorated cardboard canoes around downtown Ottawa, guided by clues hinting at well known buildings and monuments. The groups then took pictures of the thing they believe the clue was leading them towards as proof of their success.

This leads to clues like “find the original Big Mac.” Any guesses? That would be Sir John A. Macdonald’s statue, said this year’s chair of the event, Ranger Kshamini Ghelani. She has been involved with the event since it started, beginning as a participant and now in her third year helping to organize the event.

“It was really awesome,” said Kshamini of this year’s event.

Every new year has a few new ideas. This year included extra activities at four of the clue stations which represent the four world centres of Guiding: Mexico, India, Switzerland and England.

“A lot of people really enjoyed that addition,” said Kshamini.

For Kshamini and other Rangers, the event has become a bit of a legacy that they are excited to be a part of and continue, she said.

The idea for the photo scavenger hunt came from Rangers like Kshamini’s older sister who wanted to do something big as a service project, said Ranger leader Carolyn Law. “We came up with the idea that we should start some sort of rally,” she said, adding that the canoes seemed a natural fit.

Heavy trucks, (300) light vehicles, trailers; boats etc.

Registration of participants and vehicle inspection will be possible on May 14 between 9 am and 4pm, May 15 between 9am and 4pm and on May 16 9 am and 4 pm. A $500 deposit will be required immediately after the purchase of each vehicle. Vehicle pickup and complete payment including fees, GST and PST (if applicable) should be made before May 23. Will be accepted: cash, certified cheque, Visa, MasterCard, and Interac for the $500.00 deposit and only cash, certified cheque and Interac for balance of vehicle.

Counting for the birds Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Bird aficionados and those looking to learn more about our feathered friends will have an opportunity on Saturday, May 10.

The Ottawa Bird Count, along with the South March Highlands – Carp River Conservation. and Vitesse Re-skilling, are hosting Counting Birds for Science, a local scientific research project that helps track and estimate the bird populations within the city.

Currently, more than 100,000 chickadees, 50,000 Blue Jays, and 10,000 Warbling Vireos live in Ottawa, along with many other species.

And many can be found in the South March Highlands, where the event will take place.

“In terms of number of birds, Ottawa in relation to many cities in the world has a healthy diverse bird community,” said Adam Smith, lead scientist with Ottawa Bird Count.

“Our mission is focused on the data. We’re working towards help-

ing people understand or learn how to build cities that are habitats or homes for people and birds.”

Smith said the group studies the relationship between urban development and land use, and the bird biodiversity in the area.

“By studying it we hope to learn how to balance the needs of people with the needs of the birds,” said Smith. “People have to live somewhere, but people benefit by being surrounded by healthy diverse bird communities.”

Smith, who has a background in landscape ecology, has been involved with the project since it began in 2007. The Ottawa Bird Count happens every year and the organization relies on “citizen scientists” to help provide accurate information during the local breeding season, which takes place from May to July.

The surveys have created a database of more than 20,000 observations. Volunteer scientists working with the data have mapped the density of many species in the city and estimated the population sizes of many of Ottawa’s familiar backyard birds.

“Our database and the analyses we’ve done to date can be used to predict the number that might be here in the future,” Smith said.

“Even more exciting, we are working to predict bird populations under

a whole range of alternative development scenarios that the city might consider.”

The information can be used to help advise city planning and development projects, he said. The database is unique in Canada. There are only one or two other similar projects in North America.

“At an ecology level, birds are great as indicators; they can tell us how the system is doing. They can indicate the health of the ecosystem more broadly,” said Smith.

“They fly, which fascinates people. They sing. They’re beautiful and colourful. And they tolerate us to a really high degree; much more so than other families of animals do.

“They go about their daily business for the most part embedded within our city.”

The Counting Birds for Science event will feature a presentation on the Ottawa Bird Count and the Ecological Monitoring of the South March Highlands, along with the results of past years’ counts and plans for monitoring the area.

“Come out and be introduced to some of the birds that are in the city and also to discover some of the power behind engaged citizens going out and collecting this kind of data, which becomes a publicly available database,” said Smith The event will take place on Sat-

Art - The Kanata Civic Art Gallery is holding a grand opening for its new gallery space at Hazeldean Mall, donated free of charge while the mall looks for someone to rent the space.

The art group, run by artists, had been using the space for the past month as a test to make sure they have enough members available to keep the gallery open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during mall hours.

With the gallery kept open without a problem and hundreds of people coming in the door, the group is ready to hold a grand opening at the mall on May 10, said artists Wendy Russell and Judi Miller.

The grand opening will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and will include live demonstrations by Russell and Wendy Quirt, both painters.

There will also be a brand new set of art pieces on display and door prizes, said Russell and Miller.

In the past month, the art group’s mall space has seen 1,620 people come through the door, said Miller. “That’s fantastic,” she said. “To have 1,600 people come and look in at our art is amazing.”

The arrangement was proposed by the mall’s marketing

director, Melanie Westland. She sent an email to Miller, saying she had read about the art gallery in the local paper. With the art gallery’s John Mlacak Centre location seeing lower attendance due to construction, the artists have been advertising more and holding more events to bring in more viewers. “(Westland) just said, ‘How would you like to use un-leased space?’” said Miller. Saying yes was a “no brainer,” she said.

The art gallery group can use the space at least until June, and thereafter until it is leased, said Miller.

The arrangement is beneficial to both the gallery and the mall, she said, as empty space in any mall is generally a detractor, and the location allows greater visibility and more sales.

So far, the new location is

Courtroom drama takes stage at Kanata Theatre Play directed by recent Canterbury arts graduate Submitted

Kanata Theatre will stage Inherit the Wind at the Ron Maslin Playhouse from May 13 to 24.

Arts - Contrary to popular belief, Inherit the Wind is not simply about the debate between creation and evolution highlighted in the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, during which three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and attorney Clarence Darrow locked horns.

Instead, this famous play uses the setting of the trial to debate the individual’s right to have contrary ideas and the freedom to express them.

None are as passionate about ideas as the young, so it comes as no surprise that Rachel Davies, a recent Canterbury arts graduate, should be drawn to the eloquent script and want to see it performed on the Kanata Theatre stage.

“Inherit the Wind presents many important issues such as freedom of thought and the importance of progress, Questioning and re-evaluat-

ing how we think, what we do, and how we do it are key ways to progress forward as individuals and as a society,” said Davies. “I see many parallels between the play and our world today.”

Foremost is the lack of progress in the education system, she said.

“It takes an inordinate amount of time for new material to be allowed in the classrooms, just as it did back then,” said Davies.

“For example, many sexual education and mental-health curricula have not been updated since the 1990s to include new research. For me, the greatest challenge is the scope of this play. It is such a massive production and a very well-known play, so there are many standards to live up to.”

Davies brings more than youthful enthusiasm to her task.

Along with her Canterbury credit she was part of an ensemble at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland and studied at the Stratford Shakespeare School.

She shares her first directing stint with veteran actor

and director Alain Chamsi.

“Alain has been very gracious to help guide me through my first time directing,” she said. “It has been a challenge, but a very rewarding one. It’s incredibly exciting to bounce ideas off one another and have them come alive onstage.”

Inherit the Wind presents many important issues such as freedom of thought and the importance of progress.

Rachel Davies

Inherit the Wind will be staged from May 13 to 24 at the Ron Maslin Playouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive in Walter Baker Park. The Playhouse is fully accessible. Parking is free.

She says that the Mozart’s C Major Concerto is a favourite with audienc-

This concerto was completed by

Mozart in 1785, just four weeks after the completion of his previous piano concerto. The famous middle movement is placid and dream-

like and served as a backdrop for the 1967 Swedish film Elvira Madigan. Moreover, Neil Diamond’s 1972 song “Song Sung Blue” was

based on this work.

Mendelssohn composed his Symphony No. 5, Reformation, in the winter of 1829-30, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation.

It was through this reformation that the Lutheran Church had displaced Catholicism in Germany.

After the work’s first performance, Mendelssohn, who was unreasonably hard on his compositions, said this was the one score he wished he could destroy.

As such, he withdrew it and it was not published until after his death.

The fourth movement is a choralelike orchestration of Martin Luther’s setting of Psalm 46, Ein’ feste Burg (A Mighty Fortress is our God), ending the symphony in a brilliant and grand way.

The powerful and dramatic overture to Verdi’s tragic opera La Forza Del Destino is quite common in the orchestral repertoire.

As with many operatic overtures, it introduces the main musical themes, such as the “fate” motif, which are heard later throughout the opera.

It contains some of the composer’s most brilliant orchestral writing, as well as some of his most memorable melodies.

Tickets for the concert are $10 (adult), $8 (student or senior) and $25 (family) and are available through Domenic’s music, CD warehouse, orchestra members, or at the door.

Refreshments will follow after the concert.

Holy Trinity to host rain barrel sale Parent council

Holy Trinity Catholic High School

News - The parent council at Holy Trinity Catholic High School is now accepting presale orders as part of their truckload rain barrel sale.

This fundraising event is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, at the school, 180 Katimimavik Rd., from 10 a.m. until noon.

Rain barrels are $55 each and orders must be placed in advance of the sale, either online at rainbarrel.ca/holy trinity or by calling 613271-8452.

As a certified eco-school, Holy Trinity is committed to helping their students learn about the environment, while demonstrating how to be environmentallyresponsible citizens.

Recently, the school was awarded a small grant that allows it to set up an outdoor classroom. The project, which has been in the planning stages for three years, includes adding native plants, placing outdoor benches around a central tree, and adding stepping stones made by the school’s craft club.

The classroom will be set up near east side of the school and gives the students an opportunity to interact with nature as part of

their studies. Proceeds from this rain barrel sale will help fund this special project.

Rain barrels capture and store chlorine-free and fluoride-free rain water from a home’s downspouts, making it ideal for flowers, vegetables, lawns, shrubs, and trees.

Collected water can also be used to wash cars, clean floors, and even do laundry.

These many uses can provide cost savings to every resident, especially those who pay to have water trucked in, use a well, or have a water meter installed.

They can also provide water conservation opportunities, particularly during dry summer months.

When ordering in advance of the sale, purchasers select the colour and model of their rain barrel, and add any accessories, such as downspout diverters and rain barrel stands.

These environmentallyfriendly products were once used to transport fruits and vegetables, but now they have been repurposed as rain barrels.

Purchasing one not only saves residents money and helps the environment, but, with the Holy Trinity rain barrel sale, it helps provide students with an eco-friendly learning environment.

Will a health crisis tarnish your golden years? ered by OHIP. “It will wipe out all of our savings,” Mitchell said. “This is a big financial burden. It will wipe out our whole retirement.”

Mitchell, a former office manager for a construction company and her husband John, 68, a steelworker, worked in Canada for more than 40 years and planned to fund their retirement with some retirement savings and a government pension.

But no one plans for cancer.

In 2009, Mitchell was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Mitchell cannot take Fludarabine and Rituximab, two very powerful chemotherapy drugs. She received only two treatments before the regime was abruptly stopped because of an adverse reaction to Fludarabine that nearly killed her.

Mitchell’s doctor has prescribed Bendamustine, which OHIP will not cover.

On April 7, Mitchell used her American Express card to cover the drug’s $4,500 price tag.

“I felt complete and utter shock,” her husband John said, describing the reaction to the hefty bill.

Moving forward, the Mitchell’s say they don’t really have a game plan to pay for the chemotherapy treatment other than drawing on their life savings and credit.

“I have to make the payment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive,” John said.

Under Ontario Drug Benefit coverage, seniors over age 65 pay the first $100 of their prescription costs, then $6.11 per prescription under the government program.

But many drugs are not covered and are shockingly expensive, reported Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy with CARP. “A lot of drugs are not covered in the plan and the ones not covered are expensive. In Ontario, people could fall between the cracks,” she said.

“Biologics, for example, are very,

very expensive.”

Biologic drugs are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, particularly conditions that affect seniors, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

It’s expected the use of biologics among seniors will grow by approximately 20 per cent in the next decade, the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association reports.

Across Canada, dental and vision care are major health costs for seniors, together accounting for more than 75 per cent of their health care spending.

They also need funds to pay for other professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists and podiatrists.

job without health insurance benefits, many health costs come directly outof-pocket.

One option for retirees is to purchase private insurance, but even that is prohibitively expensive.

Blue Cross health insurance coverage for a 65-year-old Ontario man who is a non-smoker costs $85 a month for basic coverage.

That monthly fee jumps to $117 for regular coverage and $147 for extended coverage. Basic coverage includes ambulance service, nursing care, dental work and partial payments towards sessions with a registered podiatrist, physiotherapist, massage therapist and chiropractor.

News - Mary wouldn’t call them her golden years.

At 75, the Ottawa widow lives tightly on $25,000 a year. Her condominium fees eats up most of her Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold income. There is little cash left over each month after she pays for food, Location_MyriadPro_Bold her car, insurance, Internet service ALL TYPEShe OUTLINED and her phone. receives no income supplement.

“Save, save, save. Put money away,” says Mary, who asked not to be identified. She is embarrassed over her dire financial straits.

“Save from the time you’re 20. I don’t care if it’s $10 a week. It adds up. It makes all the difference in the world.”

She and her husband held down “decent” jobs and raised five children together. But neither had a university degree. That put a ceiling on job and income opportunities, she said, and directly affected their ability to financially prepare for their retirement. Both worked until age 70.

Mary is in good health. She receives two small pensions, from her job and her late husband’s work.

Without them, she doesn’t know how

she’d survive. Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security (OAS) adds up to only $1,300 a month.

“It never crossed my mind,” she said of her retirement. “You know it’s coming, but it’s a long way off. Then, all of a sudden, it’s there.”

Mary’s retirement experience is a cautionary tale for Baby Boomers, the oldest of which are just turning 65, and for Generation Xers, those born starting in the mid-1960s on the heels of the boomers.

Her financial distress in retirement is an all-too-common reality for many of Ontario’s 1.9 million seniors aged 65 or older.

In fact, many Ontarians simply cannot afford to retire. Consumer costs, including health care and housing, compel them to work for wages and for health benefits.

And in the next 20 years, Ontario’s population of seniors is expected to double.

No one knows better how a health crisis can wreak havoc on retirement plans than Brampton’s Anne Mitchell, 67.

Mitchell is gearing up for a second battle with cancer.

Except, this time, Mitchell is scrambling to come up with $52,000 for chemotherapy treatment not cov-

Community - Despite the late spring, hundreds of hardy perennial plants will be for sale at the Grassroot Grannies’ 8th Annual Plant Sale and Market Place on May 10 in Kanata. As soon as the coldest weather was over, members of the group were out digging up the plants they had potted in the fall and potting up plants as they began to sprout.

Just before the event each of the Grannies will be making up “pretty pots” intended to be bought for Mothers Day gifts.

Horticulturists will be on hand to give advice in plant choice.

Also for sale will be hand painted bird houses and wooden ornamental houses featuring stained glass windows made by the member of the group and friends, as well as gently used jewellery and the Grassroot Grannies’ unique greeting cards.

What can I expect at a HolIday RetIRement residence?

A common misconception about retirement living is that you’ll be giving up your lifestyle. But that’s not the case at Crystal View Lodge and The Court at Barrhaven in Nepean, Ontario, where you’ll enjoy your own private suite (and yes, pets ARE welcomed!)

That means you can do things on your schedule, and eat the exceptional food you’re used to having. More specifically, you can expect three delicious meals per day prepared by professional chefs, all to be enjoyed in a spacious dining room with new friends.

You’ll always have people close to you that care. That includes the livein managers, who treat the residents like family and are available day and night. All units are equipped with an emergency call system that can be used around the clock if needed.

You’ll also reap many other benefits including a weekly housekeeping and linen service, complimentary shuttle service, free laundry facilities, fitness room, guest parking, billiards lounge, and the list goes on.

Your misconceptions about retirement living will disappear in a hurry when you choose these residences. You can even choose a trial stay if you’re still not sure.

Oh, and one last thing – this one is huge – both residences are part of Holiday Retirement, which has a network of 300 residences in the U.S. and Canada. The company’s travel program allows residents to enjoy the same comfort in another residence location at no extra cost!

Health care costs loom large over retirement planning

Don’t let a fall get you down

Continued from page 39

Blue Cross does not cover prescription drugs after age 65 because seniors in this province qualify for the Ontario Drug Benefit.

A dental exam and diagnosis costs $65, according to the Ontario Dental Association’s 2014 fee schedule.

Need dental X-rays? A complete set of 12 images costs $123. Cleaning and polishing your teeth costs a minimum of $55.

If a senior has a crown that needs to be restored, the suggested cost is $685. Root canal therapy begins at $441. Dentures start at $751 for the upper palate and $956 for lower teeth.

Seniors 65 and older pay just under $50 for an eye test.

Should a senior need a chiropractor, massage therapy, physiotherapy or a podiatrist, those costs are not paid by OHIP. Seniors must pay for those services out-of-pocket or through private insurance.

If you can’t pay for your medicine, then what do you do?”

Bob McGaraughty financial security advisor

In Muskoka, seniors applying for a subsidized one-bedroom unit must be living on less than $29,700 per year.

And the cheaper cost comes at a price.

There’s a wait list. In Muskoka it’s three to five years, but in Peel, it’s 20 years.

Some areas have senior-only subsidized housing which may reduce the wait time, some do not.

Others choose to spend their golden years in a retirement home. There are 700 such facilities in Ontario, from townhouses to apartments, providing a variety of services and lifestyles for seniors from living with no assistance to in-home care.

At an average cost of $3,204 per unit per month, it’s an expense that’s well above an entire monthly budget of $2,182 for those living on $26,185 or less per year.

When seniors are no longer able to live on their own or require more intensive care than a live-in caregiver can provide, many opt to move into a long-term care home (LTC).

A LTC home provides 24-hour services and care and is often where seniors will live out their life. Rates at the homes are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care at $1,707.59 a month for a basic room with subsidies available from the government.

Semi-private or private rooms cost more.

In 2011-12, the median time to be on a wait list for a long-term care room was 98 days.

Fred’s wife, Doris, moved into a private room in a LTC home last December in Bracebridge, Ont. It costs $2,275 a month. Fred lives next-door in subsidized housing at $650 per month plus utilities. Multiple times a day, Fred joins his wife for meals paid for by the home.

How can Fred and Doris afford their care?

Fourteen years ago, the couple who will have been married 55 years in June sold an apartment building they’d owned for a decade for approximately $700,000.

Fred still owns property in Huntsville: “We’ve still got that to sell if need be,” he said.

The West Carleton Skating Club is pleased to announce that Pre-registration for the 2014-2015 Winter Skating season is now open.

Pre-Register your skater by June 30th, 2014 and receive a discount of $20.00 per child.

• Never climb on a chair or stool to reach something. Always ask for assistance.

• If you have a pet such as a cat or dog, consider putting a bell or reflector on its collar. It’s easy to stumble across an affectionate or sleeping pet that’s in your path.

• Take your time. If you frequently find yourself rushing to pick-up the phone, consider investing in a cordless phone that you can keep near you.

Don’t rush to answer the door. The visitor will wait.

• Always sit down to put on or take off shoes and clothing. Place a chair or bench near the entrance.

• Keep hallways and stairs free of grandchildren’s toys.

A visit to the chiropractor costs up to $140 for a 40-minute session, the 2014 Ontario Chiropractic Association Fee Schedule suggests. A detailed exam can cost between $140 and $280.

A massage delivered by a registered massage therapist costs $38 for 15 minutes and $102 for an hour. Seniors 65 and older may be eligible for publicly funded physiotherapy with a doctor’s referral, the Ontario government’s health services branch reports.

A single senior with a yearly net income less than $16,018 or a senior couple whose combined net annual income is less than $24,175 or a senior on Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, living in long-term care or receiving home care pay no deductible and only $2 per prescription filled.

Ensuring Ontarians have access to drugs they need regardless of cost is one of 169 recommendations contained in a 2012 report entitled “Living Longer, Living Well,” that’s

intended to inform a Seniors Strategy for Ontario. “(We) have to start thinking about how to develop fairer and sustainable financing systems that can still allow us to ensure all Ontarians can access the pharmaceutical therapies they need, regardless of their ability to pay for them,” stated the 198-page report by Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network hospitals.

Ontarians need to consider health care planning in their retirement preparations, advised Bob McGaraughty, a financial security advisor with Freedom 55 Financial in Ottawa.

Plan on retiring on 70 per cent of your preretirement earnings, he said.

“Your health is a big issue. If you’ve got your health, then your costs are stabilized.

If your health deteriorates quickly ... that’s a big (cost),” he said. “If you can’t pay for your medicine, then what do you do?”

Then there is the matter of how Ontarians will afford their care as they age. According to Statistics Canada, the median after-tax income for seniors over the age of 65 in 2010 was $26,185.

Besides medical expenses, this money must also cover costs such as housing, food, transportation, social events and communication.

Some 92 per cent of Canadian seniors aged 65 and older live in private dwellings, Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census reported.

In doing so, this often requires the added costs of installing accessibility aids or hiring a live-in housekeeper. To minimize costs, some seniors choose to open their home to another person in exchange for light household chores and cheap rent.

Seniors living in subsidized housing pay either 30 per cent of their income (rent geared to income) or 20 per cent below market rent (affordable housing), depending on the housing arrangement. What their maximum income can be and how they apply varies by district and municipality throughout the province.

News - Debilitating falls are a major issue for older people.

Every year, one in three Canadians over the age of 65 will take a fall – often with serious consequences.

Injuries such as hip, wrist and pelvic fractures are common in this age group and can have a lasting impact on an individual’s quality of life.

Most falls happen in the home, so that is the first place to start taking precautions. Your physical health is also important.

Talk to a health professional, such as a chiropractor, about evaluating your risks. A few steps of prevention can help you stay safely on your feet: • Remove your reading glasses when you are walking. Always slip them off before you take a step.

Spring cleaning brought new life into childhood home

T

he signs were everywhere.

Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there.

Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring.

Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in

MARY COOK Memories newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter.

The windows themselves, grimy from the long months when they were impossible to clean, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. The windows were ready for the warm weather.

When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house: one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts, many others

put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue. Now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been

The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

washed over the winter.

The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey.

Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up this combination only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting.

There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next,.

Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing, always a chore for

a warm sunny day. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs.

When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs.

The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering stove be moved to the summer kitchen, rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall.

But the biggest change to me, the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer.

All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the Bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house.

And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer.

The last job was done.

Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

Ontario to double seniors program Roasted asparagus quesadillas News - Ontario is proposing to help more seniors stay connected to their community by doubling the Seniors Community Grant Program, the province’s first grant program dedicated solely to seniors.

The program supports initiatives by not-for-profit community groups that help seniors stay connected, active and involved in their commu-

nity by encouraging greater social inclusion, volunteerism and community engagement.

This could include courses for seniors on financial literacy, computer literacy classes, community events and physical and learning activities such as exercise classes and cooking classes.

government’s economic plan that is creating jobs for today and tomorrow. The comprehensive plan and its six priorities focus on Ontario’s greatest strengths – its people and strategic partnerships.

QUICK FACTS

• By 2016, for the first time, people over 65 will account for a larger share of the population than children aged 0-14.

• The Seniors Community Grant Program gives out grants ranging from $500 to $10,000 to help support initiatives that will allow seniors to contribute to all aspects of community life.

• The proposed funding would increase the Seniors Community Grant Program from $500,000 to $1 million in 2014-15.

City Councillor, Kanata north ARCADIA AND HUNTMAR The Arcadia Community is in the midst of a developing area with construction vehicles, mud and more. Starting around May 12th they will find that their only access will be from the Richardson Side Road as construction starts on a roundabout at a new intersection that will connect Campeau with Palladium. Huntmar will be closed from the Richardson Side Road to Palladium Drive south of the 417 while this work goes on. It will be open for local traffic so Arcadia residents can use Huntmar as far as an entrance to Arcadia. At the same time a major water main will be installed along Huntmar on both sides of the 417. The portion under the 417 will be tunnelled next year since two contractors are not permitted to work on the same road and the widening of the 417 is not yet complete. It is expected that a part of the roundabout will be completed about June 6th, restoring a connection to the 417 and Huntmar South. However the Huntmar Bridge is expected to be closed until September 15th.

This work is scheduled to be completed prior to the opening of the hockey season and the official opening of the Tanger Outlet Mall – and by then the Arcadia Park should be built, driveways paved and sod installed.

RRCK SOCCER FIELD The official opening of the new soccer field at the RRCK will be coming soon! The cost of making this field an artificial turf field with lights was paid for by the National Capital Industrial Soccer League (NCISL). Originally discussions had taken place with the West Ottawa Soccer League (WOSL) and the NCISL to jointly fund it with hours of use over the next 10 years given to each group to offset the donation. Unfortunately the WOSL could not make it work financially so they pulled out of the negotiations at the last minute. The City would not have all hours going to an adult league, so it looked like we would end up with a grass field with no lights. However, the NCISL Board wanted to see this happen and agreed to provide some youth time through establishing a youth recreation group for 3-12 year olds (the Dragons) which would include soccer. The NCISL has offered to provide some of their hours to the WOSL, so I hope that the partnership can be re-established.

Star Wars fans taking prisoners for charity Ottawa costuming group gaining in popularity thanks to good works Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Rob Murphy knows firsthand what it takes to make a stormtrooper cry.

When wearing his homemade suit of armour, virtually identical to that worn by imperial troops in the Star Wars movie universe, the Hintonburg resident has struggled to rein in his emotions.

He and other members of the Capital City Garrison of the 501st Legion, a worldwide Star Wars costuming group, find their passion for supporting children’s charities – all done on a volunteer basis – very emotional.

“It’s heartwarming. It’s moving stuff,” said Murphy, one of almost 40 club members who construct their own movie-precise costumes on their own dime, some of which cost more than $1,000.

Seeing the looks on kids’ faces, and knowing they are helping those in need is reward enough, and has had the power

to reduce a stormtrooper to tears.

“That’s why I like wearing the mask,” said Murphy, who owns a mortgage brokerage.

The Ottawa group has grown in popularity since its inception in 2003.

Members attended nearly 60 events last year in their membership area, which extends from Kingston to Cornwall and north to the Quebec border.

Though it is one of the smallest clubs that exist, compared to other 501st Legion groups around the world, it is one of the most successful at fundraising.

By attracting large crowds, they indirectly helped charities generate $168,000 last year alone. They also raised $23,000 – including $10,700 at Ottawa Comiccon – in 2013 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, their chosen charity.

“We’re bad guys doing good,” said Orléans resident Kevin Presseault, who dresses as a stormtrooper.

Luc Lavictoire as Darth Vader uses the Force from behind bars on Rob Murphy, right, in costume as a sandtrooper, as stormtrooper Kevin Presseault looks on from behind bars. Members of the Capital City Garrison of the 501st Legion will be taking prisoners at Ottawa Comiccon for a donation in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation at the Ernst & Young Centre, from May 9 to 11. which they plan to participate in this weekend, from May 9 to 11, at the Ernst & Young Centre, is the group’s biggest event of the year.

Upwards of 60 costumers will participate in their interactive exhibit, some of them from the Rebel Legion, a similar club of fans who dress as the good guys from Star Wars.

In addition to showcasing their costumes, ranging from towering wookies and Darth Vader to stormtroopers and Jedi knights, this year they’ll be throwing people in jail.

For a charitable donation, convention-goers can request that stormtroopers arrest a friend or relative during the event.

“I have a feeling I’m going to be thrown in jail at one point,” said founding member and Carson Grove resident Luc Lavictoire, who plans to dress as a biker scout at the conven-

tion.

“Where else can you get arrested by a stormtrooper?” said Murphy. “My daughter’s already figured it all out. She’s put a mark on mommy.”

Many events, including the convention, require hours of standing in unforgiving costumes – they say it’s impossible to sit down in rigid stormtrooper armour – or being out in 40-degree heat or freezing temperatures.

But they say their reward comes from the smiles on children’s faces.

Adults also become just as excited, and ask for photos and sometimes kisses.

“You’re making life better for the little ones. That’s the reason to do this,” said Murphy, who initially was skeptical about joining the garrison because of misconceptions about the type of people who join Star Wars costuming clubs.

“People think we’re all geeks, nerds, living in our parents’ basement, that we’re socially inept,” said Lavictoire.

“I can guarantee that’s not true,” said Murphy, who has built 11 costumes since joining three years ago, including what he says is the first Canadian-built Gamorrean guard costume, based on a Jabba the Hutt guard in the Return of the Jedi movie.

Members, who must be at least 18 and construct their own movie-accurate costume, include a lawyer, doctors and business owners, among others. Lavictoire is a computer technician and Presseault is a minister at Greenbelt Baptist Church in Gloucester, where members built their jail.

“I’ve always, always, always loved Star Wars, ever since I was a little kid,” Presseault said.

“I grew up on it. I’d seen

the costumes before, but didn’t realize it was such a cool club, and then when I found out about the children’s charities that they did I just fell in love with it.”

Events attended by members are a family affair, with spouses helping costumed characters, and children dressing up as Jawas and even young Anakin Skywalker, among others.

“Everyone loves Star Wars,” Presseault said of the appeal.

“It’s timeless, it’s just a message that connects with our hearts, and we’re wired to root for the good guys.

“There’s just something about the endless story of good and evil.”

52 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, May 8, 2014

News - Adding a few thousand dollars onto the cost of building a new home in Ottawa is what’s necessary to serve a growing city without burdening taxpayers, says Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume.

“Quite frankly I don’t think it’s fair to existing taxpayers,” said the planning committee chairman, who made the case for hiking development charges.

If approved, the increased fees would represent between three and seven per cent of the cost of a new house, up from 2.5 and six per cent, depending on the type of home and whether it’s located in an urban, suburban or rural area.

Development charges pay for the cost related to growth in an area – increased pressure on roads and infrastructure for everything from sewers to parks. It’s usually tacked onto the price of new houses by developers.

Transit expansion is a large portion of the development charge, Hume said, adding the city “left no stone unturned to ensure transit projects got the most funding possible.”

Developers raised the most concerns about the way money is allocated to transit projects.

The city wants to use development charges to fund transit projects in the same way it funds roads, Hume said.

“In the long term, growth of the city, in terms of treating roads the same as transit, was of benefit,” he said.

Community representatives wanted transit money to be allocated on a local basis.

That would make the development charge very high and unaffordable for construction inside the Greenbelt, Hume said. Since transit is concentrated in the city’s core, under a local-charge scheme, downtown residents would be burdened with most of the cost of expanding the system, even though suburban residents put a demand on the service, too.

Another change will be made to the city’s approach to exempting some developments from fees. Since 2009, when development charges were last reviewed, the city wrote off $53 million in development charges, which isn’t recoverable, said planning manager John Moser. Now, the city will have to find other ways to make up that loss in development-charge revenue if it grants an exemption – such as getting money from property taxes.

“We need to put that money back in. If you don’t have development charges to meet the growth, your projects are in jeopardy,” Hume said.

PARKS, CHILDCARE, SOCIAL HOUSING

As previously reported, another change would see developers take over the responsibility of building most new parks in new communities starting Oct. 1. Instead of the city collecting development charges after homes are built and using the money to build parks, developers can build them as soon as they start constructing homes. The parks will still be designed to city standards and large district parks, of which there are four of in the city’s

plans, would still be built by the city.

The city is also suggesting putting a freeze on collecting development charges for childcare and social housing reserves.

There is currently $3.4 million and $1.7 million respectively in those funds now, but the city hasn’t spend the money because of limitations on how it can be used. The province requires the cash to be spent on projects the city builds, owns and operates, which would create a tax burden to maintain and operate the facilities.

The city is looking into whether it could use the money to create social housing to be operated by Ottawa Community Housing.

Until the legality of different options is determined, the money won’t be spent and the fee won’t be charged. If the city wanted to re-instate that portion of the development charge, it would need to conduct another background study and city council would have to approve the additional fee.

The same process would apply if councillors wanted to pursue area-specific development charges for neighbourhoods that are seeing a huge increase in population, such as Little Italy, Coun. Diane Holmes suggested. Coun. David Chernushenko said it might be something to look into for Old Ottawa East, which has a large institutional property slated for redevelopment.

Hume said homebuilders said the plan to collectively appeal the changes due to the “magnitude” of the development charge increase.

KITTENS OF THE WEEK THE “ROOFTOP BABIES” Just rescued 5 little fur balls with their mother from a roof top... they kept falling down and mommy retrieving and bringing them up. They are about 3-4 weeks old... tabbies, black/white and black babies. We thought if you could see them now, fall in love and when they are old enough to leave the nest it would be a lovely arrangement and you could be involved in their lives and wait for them with anticipation. Yes we are partial to them but they are awfully pretty and cuddly... Give a call and jump in your car and visit them... they will steal your heart.

Lifestyle - The choice of materials for your patio or terrace is up to you, but such a choice should be made right at the beginning of your strategy.

It will determine the amount of money needed for your plan.

There are a variety of available materials, each with their advantages and inconveniences. Some will require more upkeep while others are more expensive.

Durability and solidity are major concerns when you choose your building material.

You may also combine different materials for unique special effects as well as optimizing your available budget.

The most popular materials used for patio and terrace are wood, concrete slabs, stone, composite and synthetic materials.

Avoid materials that may crumble in winter, brittle and flimsy material as well as slippery substances.

Wood is often chosen for a terrace. This structure is usually built a few feet up from the ground.

See VINES, page 55

Vines soften design of patio It will require support pillars and railing. You may also choose wood for structures placed directly on the ground but be sure to use treated wood to avoid rotting.

Wood is a favorite even though it requires yearly upkeep; its price, simplicity and warmth are attractive to many homeowners.

Your floor can also be made of cement or stone slabs: using both will allow you to emphasize specific areas or zones.

You can also use a base made up of bricks or granite since they require little upkeep and will resist weather changes.

Synthetic materials include fibreglass, recycled plastics that resemble wood as well as waterproof fibres. All these

synthetic materials are very durable and are often found in original garden designs.

Composite is made with wood fibres and recycled plastics. It is both durable and maintenance-free while environmentally friendly. Composite will resist weather extremes, bad weather as well as UV rays without deterioration.

Left to its own devices, your patio may present prominent angles, which need to be hidden or camouflaged for a harmonious look into your garden.

Like any landscaping project, the trick of the trade is planning. Plants can help.

First, determine the amount of sunlight in the space you wish to landscape.

You should also consider planting perennials around your patio if you wish to avoid hav-

ing to transplant every year.

To lighten up a patio made of cement, choose high plants with pale flowers alongside its borders. At each corner, plants such as pink gypsophila (baby’s breath) will softly cloud and camouflage unwanted details.

On each side, place physostegia virginiana or false dragon’s head, which will emphasize the lightness.

Hostas will nicely round up this simple design, especially the Royal Standard hosta, which stands about 120 centimetres tall.

Although wood already possesses warmth and charm, climbing vines or climbing flowers will further soften the design of your patio.

You may also choose small flowers that will effectively highlight the wood.

Fashion meets the home Benjamin Moore’s 2013 Colour of the Year Lemon Sorbet proves it’s got staying power, especially when paired with soft grey.

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.

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.

LIfestyle - A good quality duvet is comfortable and durable. It is light and fluffy, keeps you warm, and is tidily put back into place when it’s time to make the bed.

If made of superior materials, a duvet should be sturdy and resistant to wear and tear.

When shopping for a duvet, your first step is to choose the type of filling you want: natural or synthetic.

Among the natural fibres, goose or duck down are the most popular. Very warm and light, down allows good air circulation, is insulating and absorbs humidity. The higher the percentage of down content, the more the duvet will be lighter, fluffier, comfortable and insulating. Goose down is the softest and fluffiest of all.

Synthetic fibres are usually composed of polyester and absorb more humidity. Much less expensive, polyester duvets are particularly suited to allergy or asthma sufferers, young children and babies. Compare the characteristics of the fibres used so that you will find a duvet that is suitably comfortable and durable. Microfibre duvets are warm, cozy and comfortable.

The shells of good-quality duvets are usually made of cotton, which allows the filling to breathe and allows humidity to escape. Choose 100 per cent cotton with a high thread count (at least 260).

The construction of a duvet can also affect its quality. The different types of stitching should keep the filling in place in order to conserve heat and volume. With natural filling, a boxbaffle construction keeps the feathers evenly distributed throughout the duvet. With synthetic filling, row stitching or an open design improve thermal insulation and fluffiness.

To keep your duvet for a long time and through many bedroom decors, choose a 100 per cent cotton duvet cover.

spring home beautiful

Mother’s Day means something special at museums When the spring flowers start to make their appearance each year, we know it’s time to roll out the red carpet and treat all moms to something special. On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, the City of Ottawa’s five museums have planned special events and programs where families can spend the day together and have some fun while celebrating with mom.

Though there are connections to England’s Mothering Sunday, Canada’s Mother’s Day is more closely tied to the tradition of the American holiday pioneered in 1908 by West Virginia’s Anna Jarvis in memory of her own mom. She felt so strongly that mothers deserved a special holiday in what she thought was a calendar dominated with holidays for men that she spent six years campaigning for a national day of recognition. It is pretty impressive that even without the advantages of crowd-sourcing and online push notifications, Anna’s grassroots message resonated so much that Mother’s Day has been an honoured tradition since 1914!

Kitchen upgrade Renovating or remodelling a kitchen is all about putting more life into it, transforming the decor, and designing new storage space. It is also a good investment that could increase the value of your home and facilitate its resale.

On May 11, City Museums will continue that tradition. Choose from one of our tea services surrounded by heritage flowers and serenaded by Victorian music, or get your hands a little dirty and show off your green thumb with our gardening activities. Maybe playing lawn games, exploring her artistic side, or trying out our Art Nouveau photo booth is more your mom’s speed?

We’ve got that too. From Cumberland to Dunrobin and points in between, our City Museums provide a perfect setting to celebrate Mother’s Day. Make sure to visit ottawa.ca/museums or our Facebook pages to find out about the activities offered at each museum or historic site. Choose the event and location the best suits your mom’s interests. Times and admission costs vary.

with Clean Eating and Active Living The Secret to

Benefits of Circuit

Beauty is from the inside out and the secret to glowing skin is about nourishing your body.

Our top 5 tips to glowing skin are:

Cardiovascular fitness is one of the major benefits of circuit training. Your heart rate remains elevated and sustained above resting level throughout the workout. Both your lungs and hearts efficiency can improve with this training method.

Training

Glowing Skin

1. Eat Low Glycemic Foods:

A high glycemic diet tends to spike blood sugar and insulin which can contribute to acne breakouts. Stick to a whole foods, plant-rich diet low in processed food, sugar and caffeine.

2. Avoid Food Sensitivities & Allergies:

There is a strong link between high dairy consumption and skin maladies such as acne and eczema.

3. Sleep On It:

Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night will help repair and restore skin; the hours of sleep achieved before midnight are the most effective.

4. Get Your Omegas:

Omega 3 fatty acids are inflammation busters and skin lubricators, the perfect ingredient for radiant skin!

Preparation Time: 5 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 Fillet 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces 1 tsp Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing Peppery Mango Salsa 1 small red onion, diced 2 limes, freshly juiced 1/4 cup yellow and red 3 tbsp olive oil peppers, diced 1 avocado, peeled and sliced 2 tbsp zesto pesto or Sea salt and freshly your favorite pesto ground pepper to taste ¼ cup mangos, diced TM

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon fillets on a parchment paper lined baking tray and drizzle with Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

Peppery Mango Salsa: combine onion, yellow & red peppers, mangos, lime juice, olive oil and pesto in a small bowl and mix well.

Serve salmon, layer avocado slices on top and garnish with salsa. Use sea salt and pepper to taste.

This form of training also promotes fat loss. Circuit training provides more fat and calorie burning than traditional weight lifting programs. More work is performed in less time, which results in greater caloric expenditure during the workout. Lean muscle mass is also improved which in turn increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more fat throughout the day.

The benefits of circuit training are endless, it is a great way to lose fat mass quickly, build strength and tone, as well as improve your heart and lungs.

5. Detoxify:

Cleaning from the inside out, helps to keep your hormones in check and a glow to your body and energy!

Community - Your credit score is a three-digit number ranging from 300-900 that tells future lenders how risky it is to lend you money based on your history of making debt payments.

There are many misconceptions about what it takes to keep your score high. We asked Henrietta Ross, the CEO of the Canadian Association of Credit (CACCS) to help us sort fact from fiction: • Myth 1: You must use major credit cards to build a good score.

Truth: If you’re unable to obtain a major credit card, there are other ways to build your credit history. Making regular payments on installment loans such as a car lease can positively affect your score, as do department-store cards and secure credit cards.

• Myth 2: You can’t make up for mistakes such as late payments.

Truth: It takes time, but your credit will become positive as you build consistency with timely payments, Ross says. How much time it will take depends on a number of factors, in-

Connected to your community

Ontario to double seniors program News - Ontario is proposing to help more seniors stay connected to their community by doubling the Seniors Community Grant Program, the province’s first grant program dedicated solely to seniors.

The program supports initiatives by not-for-profit community groups that help seniors stay connected, active and involved in their community by encouraging greater social inclusion, volunteerism

and community engagement.

This could include courses for seniors on financial literacy, computer literacy classes, community events and physical and learning activities such as exercise classes and

cooking classes.

Helping seniors stay active in their communities is part of the government’s economic plan that is creating jobs for today and tomorrow.

The comprehensive plan and

its six priorities focus on Ontario’s greatest strengths – its people and strategic partnerships.

QUICK FACTS

• By 2016, for the first time, people over 65 will account for a larger share of the population than children aged 0-14.

• The Seniors Community Grant Program gives out grants ranging from $500 to $10,000 to help support initiatives that will allow seniors to contribute to all aspects of community life.

• The proposed funding would increase the Seniors Community Grant Program from $500,000 to $1 million in 2014-15.
