Memory of those left behind haunts, drives soldiers Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Nineteen injured participants of the Afghanistan war arrived at the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command in Kanata on May 7, finishing up the fourth day of the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay.

The group, composed of 16 military members, two RCMP members and one civilian government employee, began the relay in Trenton, Ont. The relay finished on May 9 on Parliament Hill, but not before a greeting from legion

members, family, friends and other members of the public in Kanata.

All participants of the relay were injured during the war effort in Afghanistan, though not all as soldiers.

They arrived having overcome countless obstacles – some of which are part of the relay, and some that have become a part of life.

Scars and missing limbs start to tell the story of what several of the relay runners have gone through, while others’ injuries are less visible.

Sgt. Dan Matthews is one of those who were invisibly injured by their experience in combat. He came home with post-traumatic stress disorder, like many other soldiers. But just because he has the same injury as some of the other relay runners does not mean they are going through the same thing, he said.

“It’s really different for each person,” he said of his experience running the relay.

“For me, I’ve been carrying the memories of two friends that I lost on a patrol that I was on,” said Matthews.

“Along the way I’ve had them in my head saying, ‘Just put one foot in front of the other to get home. Get your ass home.’”

For Matthews, that’s in Ottawa’s east end.

Church cornerstone blessed by a saint

Jody, aged 10

HELP SOMEONE YOU KNOW. CALL 1-800-BANTING

Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - It was a last-minute blessing, said parishioner Art Lamarche, but a saintly one as it turns out.

Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Parish is “privileged and honoured” to say the cornerstone they managed to have blessed by Pope John Paul II in 1984 was also blessed by a saint.

Pope John Paul II was canonized by current Pope Francis on April 27, alongside Pope John XXIII. John Paul’s canonization is the fastest in modern times, with calls from the public to make him a saint just weeks after his death in 2005.

Submitted Lamarche was one of two Holy Monsignor Peter Schonenback, right, and Art Lamarche stand in front of Holy Redeemer Redeemer parishioners holding the Catholic Parish’s cornerstone, which was blessed by Pope John Paul II in 1984. John Paul church’s cornerstone when John was canonized on April 27.

Paul blessed it on Sept. 20, 1984.

“It was very, very exhilarating and Vatican, Lamarche and Matthews it’s a feeling you get that you really had to go out and buy a stone the Monday before the Thursday papal 566 Cataraqui Woods Dr., Kingston, ON K7P 2Y5 can’t describe,” he said.

Sgt. Jamie MacIntyre carries the last Canadian flag to fly at the International Security Assistance Force Headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan, while leading the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay as they arrive at the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command.

‘I’m just trying to get home’

While the Soldier On relay is supposed to do a lot of things like provide a healing process, give civilians a chance to show their gratitude and put a spotlight on Canadians injured in war, Matthews’ goal for the relay is simple.

“I’m just trying to get home, and bring a few friends along the way,” he said.

Matthews was diagnosed with PTSD in 2003 – an injury he sustained while out on patrol in Kabul that same year, he said.

During a two-vehicle patrol in unarmoured Iltis Jeeps, Matthews’ section commander’s vehicle drove over a double stack of anti-tank mines. Sgt. Robert Short and Matthews’ friend, Cpl. Robby Beerenfenger, died in the explosion.

They were the first Canadians to be killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan.

“At the time we didn’t really know that they were dead, so me and my Master Cpl. Jay Hamilton plodded out into two unknown mine fields to try and save them,” said Matthews.

“We were able to save the driver, T.J. Sterling.”

Matthews didn’t think anything of his actions at the time.

“I was just shutting down and doing what I was trained to do,” he said.

But with sleepless nights and nightmares pursuing him back in Canada, Matthews’ wife suggested he should get

some help.

“I’ve had demons and everything else that I’ve had to deal with for 10 years, and it has been a 10-year fight trying to get to where I am,” said Matthews.

Now, he hopes the relay finish line will signal the end of a chapter in his life.

“It’s the start for me to recreate myself as I move into

civilian life,” said Matthews who intends to be medically released from the military.

“I’m looking at going back to school at Algonquin College in September to do a twoyear diploma in photography,” he said.

With his future laid out for him, Matthews said he hopes to start his life fresh and truly be home again.

Communities grapple with proposed community mailbox sites Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Proposed locations for community mailboxes in Kanata are filtering through to community associations, which now are hoping their feedback will be heeded despite a perceived lack of public consultation.

Both the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association and the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association reviewed the preliminary site locations at public meetings over the past several weeks.

Comments from community members express concern for the safety of placing boxes at certain locations without sidewalks or near busy roads, the accessibility of the boxes (especially in winter) and whether the boxes go in directly in front of houses or not.

Community association leaders have suggested that many of these issues could have been avoided if there had been public consultation.

But it seems Canada Post “doesn’t believe in that,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson at a Beaverbrook meeting on April 24.

“It’s really frustrating,”

she said, adding that she had invited Canada Post to attend public meetings, but they had refused.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley has promised that greater public consultation will take place, with public meetings before the final locations are chosen.

Beaverbrook association former president Gary Sealey said, “We deplore the lack of an open process,” and encouraged residents to start up a committee to make recommendations to Canada Post.

Though Canada Post had performed a survey of residents, many at the Beaverbrook meeting said it was far too limiting, and did not ask the right questions.

Rod MacLean, president of the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association, said he anticipates Canada Post will act on recommendations made by the community, provided there are valid reasons for wanting the location moved.

“We are not just hoping. We are expecting,” he said.

“In some cases, when you have a legitimate case that there is a safety factor or you move it 10 feet and at least it’s out of sight,” he said. “Those

kinds of responses should be reasonably well received.”

When the community association held their meeting, reactions on the community mailboxes were mixed, said MacLean. “We have reactions all the way from, ‘Well, it’s time this happened,’ to, ‘It should never happen,’,” he said.

“Compounding the issues is the question, ‘Why aren’t they talking to us? Why don’t they come?’” said MacLean.

SAVING MONEY

Canada Post announced on Feb. 20 that 11 communities across Canada would be the first to receive their mail in community mailboxes as part of a cost-cutting measure that is anticipated to go nationwide in five years.

Kanata is one of the first 11 communities, along with Oakville, Ont. Fort McMurray, Alta. and others. The move is expected to save between $400 million and $500 million a year once it’s fully implemented.

Though Canada Post has said it will seek input from the community with regards to helping people with mobility issues, that communication has been severely lacking acBOOK ecializing in cording to Kanata community Sp Specializing ninginWalls RetaiNOW! groups and Wilkinson.

“You could imagine the concern that raised,” said MacLean.

Some residents are worried about who will be responsible for cleaning snow from the walk up to mailboxes. Wilkinson said Canada Post is sup-

posed to be clearing the snow, though some Beaverbrook residents expressed their doubts on how that would work.

A senior infrastructure engineer with the city was on hand at the Beaverbrook meeting.

He explained that while a city department in charge of right-of-ways is consulting with Canada Post, they cannot

Need time away from life?

To the editor:

I hate exercise.

I don’t go to the gym. I don’t row a boat. I don’t even play badminton.

It all requires me to be physical ... and being physical is not something I’m interested in doing.

However, I am good at sitting on a chair.

So when I heard about chair yoga I was curious. I went to a few classes and was amazed at how good I felt after swinging my arms back and forth. I continued attending chair yoga and in a couple of months, I was itching to learn more.

Fast forward a few years and I find myself searching for yoga classes on a regular basis. I still don’t consider myself a physical person. Heck, I’m still young, but I’m able to gently persuade my mind and body into unique yoga positions.

I have found that giving myself permission to squeeze out an hour here and there in my

It’s your social responsibility

S

ha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And don’t worry/‘bout tomorrow Hey, hey, hey If you’re old enough to remember that 1967 song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ideals, there’s a good chance that you’re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis.

For a host of reasons, the majority of baby boomers failed to plan adequately for their retirement. Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past age 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year.

It’s even more troubling that the next generation of Ontarians can’t get past today’s financial obligations to set a little aside for a secure tomorrow. They’re paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents. There simply is no extra money for a nest egg.

Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to explode into a full-scale financial crisis. Almost 1.3 million workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontario’s new jobs are being created by small businesses that don’t offer a pension plan for employees.

At the same time, many Ontarians just aren’t saving for retirement. Experts say you need 50-70

per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living – but many Ontarians can’t or won’t meet this target.

The bigger cause for concern is that we’re sticking our heads in the sand and pretending it isn’t happening. Employers and workers must be encouraged to take responsibility for their financial futures. Government and business agree that fixing Ontario’s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change.

The Canadian Association of Retired Persons is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. We couldn’t agree more.

The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of pooled registered pension plans to Ontario workplaces and we think that’s the right way to go. Both employers and employees contribute to the plans, that are managed by independent financial professionals. They should follow a working Ontarian from job to job. Inadequate financial preparedness should be socially taboo. We need our young people to buy into the idea of retirement planning.

They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

Bidding a fond farewell to an Ottawa institution

L

et’s embarrass Jay Stone completely and call him an Ottawa institution.

That’s my excuse for writing about a longtime friend, retiring after more than 40 years in daily newspapers.

To clarify: “Ottawa institution” doesn’t mean bad Ottawa institution, like the Senate or Lenny the Lynx; it means good Ottawa institution, like beavertails or the Mayfair Theatre.

Jay has been writing about movies in the Citizen for the last 20 years. His stuff has been consistently smart, funny and entertaining and readers are going to miss it when he retires at the end of this month.

Ottawa is full of people who, although they may never have met Jay personally, want to see what he says about a movie before they decide to go see it.

In any city, a critic has influence. A good review can bring people out to see a movie or buy a book; a bad review can sink a restaurant or a play.

Good critics are aware of their power and use it wisely. Bad ones just want to make a reputation.

Good critics have a love for their subject, be it food, literature, drama or film. Bad critics have a love for themselves.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town It goes without saying that Jay Stone is a good critic and has been ever since he started writing about movies full-time in 1994. I think that what distinguishes his writing, and makes him the best in the country, is that he has never lost his enthusiasm for movies.

Most critics inevitably tire of the thing they write about. They get so that they have read too many books, seen too many movies.

Everything bores them. They become obsessed with technique – with camera angles, set design, whatever – and they lose the ability to react emotionally to a moving story, to laugh at a funny line.

Reading their stuff, you can almost see them dragging themselves out of bed in the morning, dreading the prospect of seeing another damn movie.

You don’t get that from Jay, never have.

I can bet you that when you read his last review in a couple of weeks it will be fresh, it will be respectful without being gushy and it will show a real effort to come to grips with what the filmmaker was trying to do.

(Aside to Jay: don’t let me down on this.)

Having a respect for movies should not be confused with loving all movies uncritically.

Stone devotees always look forward to his one-star reviews, where he unleashes the full range of his considerable comic scorn on a movie that truly deserves it. But, interestingly, there are not many of those, just as there are not many five-star reviews – just a handful over the years. He reserves the onestars for the truly awful and the five-stars for the truly great. The great majority of movies are neither.

By the way, early on Jay didn’t use stars, thinking that they oversimplified matters.

The star system was imposed on him from on high, to his discomfort, but it at least gives his readers the opportunity to savour the fives and the ones.

For Jay, respecting a movie means that you approach it on its own terms. If it’s a summer big-explosion movie, you don’t dismiss it because you don’t like big explosions.

Instead you try to figure out whether it’s a good explosion movie or not. Does it succeed in what it’s trying to do? The same goes for rom-coms or Iranian art films.

Famously, Jay gave four stars to the 1994 movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, because, in his mind, it succeeded in what it was trying to do, whatever that was. Less famously, he has, on rare occasions, aimed genuine anger at movies he considers exploitive and dishonest.

He has served the movies well and, more important, his readers. What the heck: five stars.

Want to help the environment? Stop protesting pipelines

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the stuff we need, and people aren’t really reducing consumption of those products, no matter how green they are,” he told me. “Yet our infrastructure is getting older and we’re using green argument to block the construction of new pipelines.”

It’s generally agreed within the industry, itself, that pipelines are the safest means of transporting oil and gas. Could they be safer?

Yes. The technology exists to make pipelines out of stainless steel that would be less prone to corrosion. The technology exists to double wrap

should provide that oil to make the goods as long we Canadians continue to buy them.

I recently interviewed Grant Smith, chief executive officer at Braemar Adjusting in Calgary, for a national magazine article on the subject.

He points out that, with 95 billion barrels of oil consumed globally each day, the world has a growing and insatiable thirst for hydrocarbons.

“Everybody wants the oil and gas community to provide the hydrocarbons and

(also aging) and marine transport, including across the Great Lakes, to get that product to market.

When I see people protesting pipelines for the sake of the environment, I want to whack them over the head with a palm leaf. Canadians should have a say about where the pipelines are going and whether the environment is a topmost concern, but unless they’re willing to go live in mud huts as subsistence farmers they should be working in collaboration with the oil and gas companies, not simply protesting.

Energy companies spend an extensive amount of time and money to monitor, report and repair their existing infrastructure. They take risk management incredibly seriously.

They also take the environment seriously. They are held to strict regulatory standards – one of the reasons there has been an increase in pipeline incidents over the

pipelines so if there is a leak, it wouldn’t be devastating.

But we would all, as consumers, have to be willing to pay for that at the gas pump, when we purchase food, when we buy all the things that have become necessary to our every day existence.

Do you want to see your grocery bill quadruple?

Are you willing to pay $150 per litre to fuel your car?

Can you stomach higher bus fares and more expensive technology?

In the meantime, Canada’s pipeline infrastructure is aging. Pipelines take a long time to construct.

The longer we delay the construction of new pipelines, the more potential for incidents and not just in pipelines. Oil and gas companies will get their product to market as long as there is demand for the product.

COMMUNITY news

f you’ve been following the headlines lately, you may know that there has been a lot of public protest against TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline.

The Council of Canadians spent several weeks in April touring northern communities and holding public forums under the catchy title “Our risk, their reward.” The idea is that Canadians are meant to risk the environment for oil that will ultimately end up being shipped abroad.

The Council of Canadians, however, is leading us astray.

Every time their employees send a text message on their cellphones or travel by bus to a Northern Ontario community, they are undermining their own cause.

Using computers, printing posters, wearing clothing, purchasing office furniture – these are all things that are manufactured abroad. And guess what? Canada can and

past decade is because of more extensive monitoring and reporting.

Energy companies also have a lot of capital. It could be argued they are best positioned to innovate in the area of green energy. They are continually investing in fuel efficiency testing, for one. But they are also spending good sums of money to examine alternatives to the hydrocarbons for which we all thirst.

If we’d like to see the end of pipelines, it’s going to take a paradigm shift in our consumer culture to do that.

If you don’t believe me, see if you can find out how much energy it takes to create your mobile phone, from mining in Africa to manufacturing in China.

In the meantime, as friends of the environment, we need to stop protesting something that has the potential to make oil and gas transport safer than it is currently.

Lasers draft lays groundwork for team revamp Staff looking to change ‘country club atmosphere’: director Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Change is coming to the Kanata Lasers, and that means more than just a new team name, said the club’s director of hockey operations, John Hill.

With the dust from the Central Canada Hockey League’s 2014 Draft settling, important trades underway and a team philosophy revamp, Hill is looking to change the “country club atmosphere” of the Kanata Stallions days and make the newly renamed team a winning product “We are changing the whole philosophy of how this team has been in the past,” he said. “We will give our players everything they need to do their job, but we expect the job to be done.”

Part of the major revamp was laying the groundwork for the team’s long-term future at the 2014 draft, which took place on April 28 at Earl Armstrong Arena in Gloucester.

“We concentrated on our major bantams and picked five of those,

which basically are the future of our hockey team,” said Hill of the draft.

The team protected leading major bantam scorer Ryan Horvath, a centre for the Ottawa Valley Titans, along with defenceman Taylor Carlson also from the Titans.

The Lasers first-round draft pick, and second overall, was forward Adam Church of the Titans, with 10 goals and 14 assists last season, followed up by Titans centre David Silye with eight goals and 14 assists last season. The Lasers third-round pick was goalie Johnathan Peacock from the Ottawa Junior Senators.

We are very happy with (the draft),” said Hill.

UPCOMING SEASON

Hill is also looking for some immediate change this coming season, with some key trades and a program revamp underway.

The Lasers recently acquired two players from last season’s Bogart Cup finalists, the Smith Falls Bears.

Centre Nic Marchand will be going to the Lasers, having scored 18 goals along with 17 assists last season. Defenceman Chris MacMillan will also be part of the Lasers push to build up their defence, said Hill.

Apart from bringing some new energy to the Lasers, Hill said he will be expecting more from the team as a

This will mark a change from the philosophy of previous years, he said.

“I think it was a bit of a country club atmosphere, and maybe the team in the past didn’t give to the kids what

The Lasers are still on the lookout for new players, said Hill, and on May 23 to 25, the team will be holding a prospects camp in Kinburn, Ont. where players can compete for an invitation to the main training camp in mid-August.

With that in mind, Hill said there is plenty of new coaches and new development staff to change up the Lasers program.

Horticultural society to hold annual plant sale on May 17 Kanata-March Horticultural Society

The Kanata-March Horticultural Society will hold its 42nd-annual plant sale at St. Isidore Catholic Church, 1135 March Rd., on May 17, from 8 a.m. to noon.

This is a rain or shine event.

The first plant sale was held in 1972 and was called the “Mayfair” plant sale.

The plants that will be sold

have been grown locally by local gardeners, and include both perennial plants and edibles including some varieties of heirloom tomato plants.

The importance of buying plants that have been grown locally in Kanata is that they have been proven to thrive in local conditions – they have not been imported from another climate with promises that they will grow here.

Proceeds from the sale are

put toward the horticultural society’s program, which brings in gardening experts to educate members and guests on a wide variety of gardening topics, as well as maintaining the Molly Wilson Garden at the Old Town Hall on March Road.

For more information about the Kanata-March Submitted Horticultural Society, vis- The Kanata-March Horticultural Society’s plant sale will feature both perennial plants it our website at kanata- and edibles including some varieties of heirloom tomato plants. horticultural.com.

Mayfair returns to Beaverbrook Community - A bicycle parade along the pathways of Beaverbrook will signal the start of the renewed Mayfair celebration on Victoria Day, Monday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Everyone is invited to join the fun at the community centre at 2 Beaverbrook Rd. Community association president Neil Thomson said families are asked to start out on bicycles at 10 a.m. from different streets along paths to the community centre.

Parents are asked to accompany children on the bikes.

Prizes will be awarded for best decorated bikes in the two-wheel and three-wheel categories.

The bicycle parade will be followed by a pet show with a difference – no animals.

“At a Mayfair years ago, a little girl broke into tears when her cat ran away and

was never found,” said Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association secretary Jim Shearon.

“We don’t want to lose any pets. So you have 60 seconds to tell us about your pet.”

There will also be a poetry reciting contest.

Children and adults are invited to recite a favorite poem.

• 11 a.m.: Ottawa firefighters from Station 42 will drive one of the big fire trucks into the DNA Genotek parking lot at the corner of Beaverbrook and Teron roads, where it will be on display to the public for one hour.

• Noon: hot dogs, including a veggie option, and fruit drinks will be served free of charge.

Please bring a non-perishable food item or cash donation for the Kanata Food Cupboard. Members of the Suzuki Violins will perform, featuring Ethan Balakrishnan, who will play in an in-

ternational competition in Minneapolis.

• 12:30 p.m.: Bill and Jean Teron will tell us about the beginning of Beaverbrook and how a young couple was brave enough to make a dream come true.

Gaelic football is the national game of Ireland. Players can run with the ball, provided they bounce it, and they can kick the ball to a team-mate. At 12:45 p.m., Noel McGinnity, a Beaverbrook resident from County Monaghan, will present a short game at the Beaverbrook community centre as part of the Mayfair celebration.

• 1 to 2 p.m.: The most popular event of Mayfair is expected to be a Sound of Music Sing Along. Audience members will vote on the five most popular songs from the movie and will sing along with the action on the screen.

Bring cushions to sit on the floor.

Don’t let a fall get you down 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.

There are easy things that can be done to help however.

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, as follows: • Remove your reading glasses when you are walking. Always slip them off before you take a step.

• 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

• 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.

Arlene Dickinson headlines Entrepreneur Week event Julia Le

Passion for entrepreneurism

Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children.

Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business person.

Her success and leadership has been recognized with multiple honours and awards including: Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100, the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, as well as PROFIT and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners.

She is also chief executive of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedi-

cated to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

“A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,” said Dickinson, who never received a university education, but has learned about business by taking risks and figuring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way.

Learning from mistakes Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them.

“For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with building and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the day, you have to be able to look deep within yourself to figure out where you’re Submitted helping the company, figure out Arlene Dickinson will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series presented where you’re not helping the by Metroland Media Group June 9 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. company and surround yourself with people who are better than you are,” she said.

“That’s an old saying, but it’s OTTAWA COMMUNITY HOUSING CORPORATION a very true one.”

She added that entrepreneurs Committed to Providing Quality Affordable Housing need to recognize that their bigEveryday, over 32,000 Ottawa residents depend on our commitment to provide safe, affordable homes.

NOTICE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Resiliency is key

“Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal recipient, an honourary captain of the Royal Canadian Navy and is the recipient of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary’s University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepreneur in today’s economy.

Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of five venture capitalists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented

by Metroland Media Group.

It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr, Kanata from 7 to 9:30 a.m.

Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs from June 213. Joining Dickinson for this special event as the entrepreneur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president and chief executive of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that, he spent 20 years as the president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd. Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the successes of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy.

“The event is a celebration of Entrepreneurship Week and to showcase our community entrepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy. It is also a great opportunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amazing entrepreneurs - Arlene Dickenson and Jeff York,” said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary.

“It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our community and economy. Not only are these amazing people building successful businesses but they give back O’Leary said local residents don’t have to look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing business success stories such as the

Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Ottawa Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the Myers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.”

Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur.

The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy.

“Balance is very personal.

It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, adding that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice.

“I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.”

Ottawa Community Housing Corporation is the largest social housing provider in Ottawa and the second largest in Ontario. It provides affordable housing to over 32,000, seniors, individuals, and families in close to 15,000 units in communities across the City of Ottawa. www.och.ca

Guest speaker Dr. Gretchen Conrad, a clinical psychologist with the On Track Program of the Ottawa Hospital, will talk about how to recognize and handle the symptoms of self-harm, suicidal ideation, and planning for mental illness emergencies, emphasizing the importance of crisis planning for caregivers.

In her work with the On Track Program, Conrad treats youth and adults in crisis and provides education to caregivers on the signs and symptoms of psychosis. In addition, Conrad is a clinical professor with the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa.

This is a return engagement for Conrad who spoke at The Oasis in Kanata last fall on the importance of self-care for the caregiver.

All are welcome.

The self-harm, suicide and emergency planning information session takes place at Glen Cairn United Church on May 27.

The session is free and preregistration is not required.

Light refreshments are served following the presentation. Bring a relative, neighbour, or friend.

For further information, Email info@TheOasisKanata.ca or go to www.TheOasisKanata.ca.

The Oasis in Kanata is a program created by Glen Cairn United Church to provide information and support for caregivers of people with mental illness.

Since its start last September, the program has sponsored five

information sessions targeted at helping caregivers understand and cope with the challenges they face living with someone struggling with mental health issues.

Attendance at the sessions has confirmed the need for such services in the Kanata area.

More than 50 people attended the session in March to hear Virginia Lafond, social worker and internationally-noted author of From Grief to Hope: Guide for Patients and Their Caregivers,

speak on how caregivers can bring healing and wholeness to their loved ones, and to their own lives, through a process of conscious grieving.

In addition to the information sessions, The Oasis in Kanata runs a monthly caregiver support group. If interested in learning more about the support group or other program offerings, contact the program manager, at OasisManager@TheOasisKanata or leave a voice message at 613435-1100.

Major school bus company quits city Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Despite the imminent departure of one of Ottawa’s largest school bus companies from the city, thousands of English public and Catholic school students won’t be stranded come September, says the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

Stock Transportation, which has operated in the region for at least 23 years, and the authority couldn’t come to an agreement late last month on a second one-year extension of a fiveyear contract.

The authority manages contracts on behalf of school boards, which, in turn, receive funding from Ontario’s Ministry of Education.

The authority offered a twoper-cent increase for English public school busing services and no increase for Catholic transportation.

But Stock asked for a nearly seven-per-cent increase for the upcoming school year to “attract and retain the best possible professional school bus drivers,” said Molly Hart, Chicago-based spokeswoman for National Express Corporation, which owns Stock Transportation.

The authority refused, and the bus company served its 280 Ottawa staff, including support staff, safety and maintenance personnel and 265 drivers, on May 5 with layoff notices effective June 30.

“Minimum wage in Ontario is increasing by seven per cent alone and the gap between minimum wage and the wage paid to our Ottawa drivers has

Stock Transportation and the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority could not agree on a contract for the upcoming school year, bringing an end to the company’s services on 193 English public and Catholic school routes in the city. been shrinking steadily over the past several years,” Hart said.

“And our drivers would have received a substantial increase had we been able to reach an agreement.”

The increase would also have helped offset the costs of purchasing, operating, maintaining and fuelling the buses, Hart said, noting a 51-per-cent hike in gas prices in Canada since 2009, and a 25-per-cent spike in the purchase price of new buses in the last 10 years.

“The operating environment in Ottawa has become too challenging due to the severe disconnect between what operators require to deliver service and what the Ottawa Student Transportation Association can pay for these services,” Hart said, adding that though Stock is closing up shop in Ottawa in June, the company is not shutting the door completely on future business opportunities in the city.

After Stock declined the offer, the transportation authority signed contracts with three new operators which will take over Stock’s 193 routes.

Direct Transportation Logistics will provide wheelchair buses, Roxborough Bus Lines

will transport students in Osgoode and Metcalfe, and take on routes in Orléans, while Campeau Bus Lines will take on 111 routes in central and eastern Ottawa and Barrhaven.

The authority has also resigned First Student Canada to provide school buses on another 350 routes.

Stock’s departure shouldn’t worry parents of children on the affected routes, said Vicky Kyriaco, general manager of the transportation authority.

“We are working well with Stock and the operators to transition as many drivers from Stock’s employ to the new operators, so in September we expect that the same driver will be operating the same route,” she said.

“It’ll just be a different name on the bus.”

The authority’s initial contract extension offer was for two per cent (for one year) and that reflects the (Ontario government’s) grant for student needs,” said Kyriaco.

That increase was available from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, though “they’re still in a deficit situation,” she said, adding there was no increase available through

the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

“So we have some financial limitations that we have to operate within,” said Kyriaco, who declined to discuss contract details, citing confidentiality issues.

But the association representing smaller, independent school bus operators says the Ministry of Education is creating instability in the industry, the reason why Stock should be applauded for walking away from the contract offer, and “finally saying, as a company, (that) we cannot operate in this market, these rates will not allow us to run a safe operation,” said Karen Cameron, executive director of the Independent School Bus Operators Association, which has members in Ottawa.

Smaller companies don’t have the ability to refuse the contracts.

“These operators, if they walk away, they’ve committed suicide,” Cameron said. “They have one customer typically and it means their mortgage.

The Ministry of Education has absolutely destabilized this industry to the point where it’s almost not even viable.”

For the coming school year,

the Ministry of Education is providing “a projected transportation allocation of $883.5 million that includes a two-percent increase to help boards manage increased costs,” said ministry spokesperson Gary Wheeler. “This formula is used for all 72 boards across the province.”

But the fragility in the industry is about more than the bottom line, because it is jeopardizing student safety, Cameron said.

“Drivers are the single most important safety feature on

the bus and so what you want is long-standing drivers who know their kids, know their routes and know the procedures,” she said.

“What this kind of instability does is it drives the long-standing drivers away,” she said, adding that high driver turnover is likely to ramp up due to an unstable industry.

“They’re already getting paid minimum wage, and if you’ve got to start tightening the belt even more then you’re not going to pay them for things you used to pay them for.”

The Ministry of Education remains committed to helping school boards provide “safe, effective and efficient” busing for students, Wheeler said.

City looking at reducing buses on Scott detour Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city will look for ways to reduce the number of buses detoured onto Scott and Albert streets during light-rail construction set to begin next year The new willingness to consider other options comes after months of lobbying by frustrated residents in Mechanicsville, Hintonburg and Dalhousie, who say that two years of buses passing by every 20 seconds is unacceptable.

The city and its light-rail constructor, the Rideau Transit Group, intend to move 2,500 buses a day onto the

Scott-Albert corridor while the Transitway is converted to light rail from 2015 to 2016.

About half a dozen people delivered impassioned pleas to the transportation committee on May 7, saying the plan will not only create safety and liveability concerns for neighbours, it would also create longer commute times for transit users.

They suggested splitting up the impact by moving some of the buses onto the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway instead, or even Carling Avenue. Thanks to a motion put forward on behalf of Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes, the transportation committee

At a recent Dalhousie Community Association annual general meeting, National Capital Commission CEO Mark Kristmanson said the city and Rideau Transit Group hadn’t approached the NCC about detouring buses onto its parkway, but Kristmanson would be open to that conversation.

Cheryl Parrott of the Hintonburg Community Asso-

Community organizations take the stage during Doors Open Ottawa 2014

ciation said the willingness to finally listen to residents gave her some hope, but she wasn’t convinced the city or Rideau Transit Group would actually make any changes.

“They’re there, but are they actually listening? Are they taking into consideration what people have said?”

Parrott asked. “I still have concerns that they haven’t, seeing the safety report that came forward from them.”

The long-awaited pedestrian safety audit commissioned

by Rideau Transit Group was a disappointment to Parrott.

A light multi-use pathway from Bayview Road to Smirle Avenue is planned as an alternate route for cyclists and pedestrians, but Parrott said the path will end up being a tunnel surrounded by hoarding boards to protect it from surrounding construction.

“They’re planning on putting it through a very isolated area, there are no eyes on it,” she said. “When we went through doing a safety audit with Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments ... Everybody came to the same conclusion right away: this just can’t happen. It’s totally unsafe.”

The community suggested in February that the path would be more accessible and safer if it was built on the south side of the corridor, between Scott Street and the Tom Brown Arena. The transportation committee voted to have staff look at whether that option was feasible, but staff indicated there might be an additional cost above and beyond the $2.1-billion light-rail contract. The committee will get an update and be asked to make a decision if

the south-side pathway would cost more.

Parrott said she suspects the pathway tweak might be the only improvement to the bus detours and pedestrian safety plan.

“Whether there will be any change on June 9 and 10, I’m not totally convinced there will be,” she said. “The battle will continue.”

Rideau Transit Group is also considering enlarging the buffer zone between the road and sidewalk and adding a fence or barrier.

The transportation committee also voted to take the additional bus lanes on Scott and Albert out of service as soon as light rail starts running. After the transit system switches over, Scott Street is planned to be rebuilt as a “complete street” with room for bike lanes and wider side-

Street in a 100-year-old building, and through the sale of that we were able to totally refit and renovate this new site into a place really designed for young parents and families.”

The Bethany Hope Centre offers daily activities for kids as well as courses for mothers and fathers that help empower them as parents.

This will be the first time the centre opens its doors for the annual event celebrating Ottawa’s historically, culturally, functionally, and architecturally significant buildings. Says Coles, “There’s lots of light and warmth, and that’s the first thing people will notice.” ........

Heading further south, the Waupoos Family Farm provides vacations for low-income families that are unable to afford a getaway.

The farm’s parent organization, the Waupoos Foundation, originated in Picton in 1975, and was founded by Father Fred Magee and friends. The Oblate Family Farm facilities on Waupoos Island expanded to the Ottawa area in 1980, taking up residence at 2050 Rideau Road in the former municipality of Gloucester.

The organization is a Christ-centred community integrating prayer, work, and play in activities while providing both full-week vacations and weekend breaks to families that meet the lowincome criteria.

Lee-Ann Garcia, who works at the farm, said: “We have a lot to offer. We organize bingo nights, movie nights, game nights, crafts and wagon rides for the families. Doors Open coincides with our summer kick-off, so that weekend we’ll have lots of activities planned and the farm animals will be out for the public to enjoy.”

Now in its 13th consecutive year, Doors Open Ottawa welcomes the public to visit 130 buildings for free during the two-day event. Either guided or self-guided tours will be offered at each building, and representatives will be present to answer any questions. Environmentally friendly transportation options are available. The free Doors Open Ottawa Shuttle Bus, sponsored by the Ottawa Citizen, will travel within proximity of nearly 50 sites, and Ottawa Cycling Tours is offering guided and self-guided Doors Open Ottawa themed tours. It will be a weekend full of discovery!

The Bethany Hope Centre, the Youville Centre and Waupoos Family Farm are three local nonprofit organizations with two things in common.

First, they are community organizations that focus on helping various at-risk groups in the Ottawa area.

Second, they will be opening their doors to the public this year during Ottawa’s annual architectural exploration event, Doors Open Ottawa (DOO), taking place June 7 and 8 across the city.

The Youville Centre, at 150 Mann Avenue in Sandy Hill, has been around for 27 years. It strives to help young mothers by providing a quality education, good nutrition, encouragement and support to both mother and child.

“Our mandate is to motivate, educate and nurture,” says Heather Heagney, the centre’s Communication and Community Developer.

To date, the centre has helped approximately 800 young mothers, serving 48 women at a time and seeing an annual graduating class that averages 20.

But the Youville Centre doesn’t only serve mothers; it also offers weekly support groups and individual counselling for young fathers.

This is the organization’s second year participating in Doors Open. It’s within close walking distance of other event participants such as the Embassy of Algeria, Diane A. Gagné Financial Services and Laurier House National Historic Site.

Heagney says, “We want to increase our visibility in the Ottawa community so we’re inviting people to come and see the work that we’re doing.” ........

At its new location at 820 Woodroffe Avenue, the Bethany Hope Centre strives to help young women and their children who have both financial and educational challenges.

Mainly supported by the Salvation Army, the centre’s community services focus on health, nutrition, early childhood development, education, counselling and practical supports.

Major Brenda Coles, spokesperson for the Bethany Hope Centre, said: “It’s been a year since the centre relocated and we’re really proud of our new facility. We used to be on Wellington

Kristina Groves speaks after her induction into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame no May 7. plaques to each of the award winners.

“It’s great to see so many of our alumni,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who also recognized football player Moe Racine, alumni, on his induction into the CFL Hall of Fame. “To tonight’s inductees, you are cer-

tainly deserving of the honour; we’re bursting with pride. You brought a sense of pride to the entire city, and for that, we are eternally grateful. Thank you for the commitment to your craft, to your sport, and to your city.”

Watson was presented with

the game ball that the RedBlacks will use in their first ever game by Ottawa Sports of Entertainment Group’s Bernie Ashe, which will be used in opening kick off in July and donated to the hall.

See HALL-OF-FAMERS, page 32

There’s lots happening in Kanata North and this is your opportunity to comment on new development applications, hear about events in the community and raise issues. Comments from those who have attended a Town Hall are about how much they’ve learned. This meeting features several new developments – a business park off Palladium, a new building in the Kanata North Business Park, and updates on other developments such as Arcadia. City zoning for high rise buildings, Canada Post, road work and road closures, zoning for the Carp Landfill and plans for the Kanata Town Centre and Kanata Avenue will also be discussed. Community events like Mayfair, BMGCA fun days, Open House Ottawa and Give Away Days will also be on the agenda.

All residents and friends are welcome to attend and to participate in the meeting.

ROAD CLOSURES Construction season, although concentrated in downtown Ottawa, has also hit Kanata with road closures and restricted traffic, mostly at the 417. On May 16th the ramp from the Valour Bridge to go east to Ottawa will be closed for several weeks. Work on the Eagleson/March bridge will again have it reduced to 3 lanes as the final work is done on the bridge. The Carp Road has only one lane while maintenance work is being done at the bridge, with traffic signals controlling traffic flow. Huntmar Bridge is closed due to construction of a roundabout at Campeau/Palladium and installation of major underground services – final opening is to be in September. Until early June the only access to Arcadia will be from the Richardson Side Road. Later this year the Goulbourn Forced Road will be paved.

Sports - Five more names were added to a list of accomplished, proud Ottawa athletes and sports figures on May 7 at city hall.

Among them was Orléans resident Tom Casey, a sportswriter, who was surrounded by his family and five grandchildren.

The names were added to the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame at the official induction ceremony.

Casey was joined by football player Wayne Giardino, speed skater Kristina Groves, sledge hockey player Todd Nicholson and touch football icon Ed Laverty.

“We love celebrating the sports icons and special moments in sports history,” said hall of fame board chairman Dave Best. “One way is by inducting new members every year.”

He thanked all of the athletes for making their city proud, and being great leaders in sport.

Many alumni of the hall of fame were present for the ceremony, and helped present the

Hall-of-famers relive their triumphs Almonte resident Wayne Giardino was the first of the inductees introduced. Giardino played at Florida State University and joined the CFL’s Ottawa Rough Riders from 1967 to 1975. He played corner linebacker, defensive half, fullback and also joined in on the special teams. He was one of the last Canadian players to ever start on both offence and defence.

Giardino still holds the CFL record for most yards, and most touchdowns on fumble recoveries. He later coached the Jr. Ottawa Sooners and was the Ottawa Gee-Gees defensive coordinator.

“The glory days. In my opinion, the glory days were the ‘60s and the ‘70s. I did pretty well in those glory days,” he said. “I’m so glad. This a great honour for me, for myself and my family.”

He said he was grateful to his family for attending, and to see so many former CFL alumni in the audience.

of his legs in a car crash. Not letting his confinement to a wheelchair slow him down, he got involved in sledge hockey.

He captained the Canadian men’s sledge hockey team, and won a bronze medal at the Lillehammer Paralympics, silver in Nagano, and capped it off with a gold medal in Torino.

He has also won eight world championship gold medals, as recently as in 2008. In 2010, he was elected to the International Paralympic Committee Athletes Council in 2010, and became the chairman in 2013.

“It never stopped me from believing in my goals and dreams I had as a kid,” he said. “When I had my accident, I thought my dreams were over. But I still didn’t let that stop me from my goals. I just had to change the ways I played a bit. I sky dive, I scuba dive, I’ve done every sport you can possibly imagine. Hockey’s what took me the furthest.”

He said he will always be involved with Paralympic sport by helping and encouraging others to play and get involved.

“I had so much support, from the community, from family, from friends,” he said.

Ed Laverty was inducted to the awards for being a community builder.

Laverty has worked for the development and growth of touch football for years, and been a player, administrator, leader, and ambassador.

He helped build the Ottawa Nepean Touch Football League, which has now grown to more than 1,900 men and women.

During his acceptance speech, his daughter, Tammy Laverty, briefly took over the microphone from her humble father, and told the audience how hardworking and dedicated her father was – and reminding them that he also put in his time on the field as a player. She said he put his heart and soul into the game, and never looked for any recognition.

He still continues to play on the same recreational team as his daughter.

Brookfield High School graduate and speed skater Kristina Groves has won the Ottawa Sports Awards’ top female athlete so many times, they named the award after her. But Groves spoke about how she wasn’t always a top athlete – often finishing second in the two-girl pool in her Ottawa races.

But she consistently improved, beating her own personal bests each season, and eventually went on to become a world champion and four-time Olympic medalist.

“I could look at this one of two ways: I wonder a silver medal, or I was dead last,” she said. “It didn’t come to me naturally. And many people asked me why I stuck with it for so long…

But it never occurred to me once.”

Groves doesn’t live in Ottawa anymore, but said she still considers it home.

Her parents, John and Else Groves, were in the audience to cheer on their daughter, now retired, and working on a master’s degree.

“Eventually, that patience and that slow, steady progression is what came to define my career,” she said. “But all those years when I was toiling away, I loved it. I had so much fun.”

News - Offices and storefronts should be coming to Carp Road soon.

The move to increase the variety and types of businesses allowed on the corridor is an attempt to boost the economic opportunity in the Carp employment area.

One business owner who came to speak at the May 5 meeting of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee said the zoning changes are just what he needs in order to expand his company and hire more workers.

Roger Woeller of BluMetric Environmental said his clean technology business has grown over its 30 years being headquartered on Carp Road. Now that he has 90 staff at that location, his business is actually operating an ‘illegal’ office.

The new zoning allowing such offices will give him the chance to expand to 150 workers.

The changes also add the ability for businesses in ‘rural commercial’ zones to add some industrial functions, such as research and development activities.

Roddy Bolivar, the executive director of the Carp Road Corrider Business Improvement Area (BIA), said the changes correct things as simple as allowing for warehouses that are obviously necessary components of many light-industrial businesses allowed to operate there.

Zoning changes were also made to allow businesses to operate on depleted mining sites, including a location owned by Waste Management, which had its sand and gravel license removed because the resource is depleted. That site will now be zoned for heavy industrial use, consistent with the site’s designation in the community design plan.

For light industrial businesses, the new zoning will allow them to actually sell the product they make at their location.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said it corrects a zoning bylaw that made no sense.

“If you have a business there, you should be able to do whatever you want with your business,” he said.

But Harold Moore, a resident who was involved in developing the community design plan, said the changes just “muddy the waters.”

He said the changes water down the intent of the decade-old plan by allowing basically the same type of use on almost all lots in the corridor.

The alterations aren’t intended to make Carp Road have more of a ‘village’ feel and that won’t be in the goal in the future, Bolivar said.

Although business owners are satisfied the changes will make a positive difference for them, they agree there is still a need for a broader review of a community design plan for the area.

There is such a plan dictating how the corridor develops, but it is 10 years old and becoming out-of-date, Bolivar said. He will write the city’s manager of policy development and urban design to propose the Carp corridor community design plan receive a full update in the next term of council.

But El-Chantiry said he does agree that more study is needed when it comes to traffic.

The way the city evaluates traffic is based on applications for individual businesses, but there is a need to look at the combined traffic generated by a number of businesses in close proximity, he said.

Any application for a new business in that corridor should trigger an area traffic study, the councillor said. “I do believe the traffic pattern has changed and the city needs to be careful.”

Richardson Side Road is a particular concern for El-Chantiry as well as for a couple of residents who came to the meeting or wrote letters, including Moore. That road is now connected to Terry Fox Drive and growing communities to the south, in Kanata, which is putting more pressure on Richardson as a thoroughfare and an entranceway to the Carp Road corridor.

Five or 10 years from now, the city might need to take another look at whether to slate Richardson Side Road as part of that commercial area, El-Chantiry said – once the Carp Road corridor is built up.

One item to consider is the possibility of allowing the types of businesses that would serve commuters who use the road every day, such as medical centres and dental offices.

Some of those businesses have proposed such facilities for Carp Road, but the city’s plans direct those types of businesses towards rural villages.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry disagreed that there is a pressing need for a broader update to the community design plan, saying the business owners he’s heard from think the changes are what are needed.

Residents in the area, especially those in the few homes left scattered between businesses, are also happy because their properties now have commercial or industrial zoning, which increases the land’s value, the councillor said.

Don’t let learning slip while school is out News - Everybody loves vacation time and the break from the ordinary routine. Students are no exception.

However, for students, vacation time can be detrimental to learning as school breaks are often when school momentum and good habits begin to slip.

“While children should have fun with their time off, they shouldn’t take a complete break from learning,” says Dr. Nick Whitehead, the CEO and founder of Oxford Learning.

According to Dr. Whitehead, maintaining learning momentum over spring break is especially important. “More than any other school-

year break, the spring holidays are an important time to pay special attention to maintaining habits. This is the last stretch of the school year and final report cards are not that far away.”

He adds that in the scope of the school year, spring break is a critical time for students; by not taking a break from learning, students can

actually make academic gains rather than losing momentum.

According to Dr. Whitehead, if students do not have assigned work, it is a good idea to spend at least an hour a day engaged in activities to keep their brains in learning mode.

By keeping the brain engaged over the school break—even in just an hour a day—students will stay mentally agile and motivated to learn.

Waste management seeks rezoning to allow new landfill John Curry

News – Waste Management is asking the city to re-

needed.

The city hosted an information session about the company’s rezoning application at NEXT Restaurant in Stittsville on May 6.

Tim Murphy, a Waste Management spokesperson who chaired the meeting, said there are still many months of work involved before the firm will be in any position to call for construction tenders related to the new landfill.

“It’s some ways off,” he said with regard to when the new landfill might be in place.

During the meeting, Harold Moore, a longtime opponent of the new landfill, said Waste Management was putting the “cart before the horse” in seeking appropriate zoning for the site before getting the appropriate approvals

approved by the provincial government, but a rezoning, a provincial compliance permit and a certificate of approval from the province are still

zone its 0Carp Road site to allow for construction of a new landfill.

The landfill’s environmental assessment has been

from the province.

Murphy noted that ideally all of the approval agencies would make a decision on the project at the same time but this is not happening so that Waste Management has filed for a zoning change for the landfill site and will later be seeking site plan approval from the city and compliance approval from the province.

The rezoning that Waste Management is seeking deals with the lands immediately north of the existing landfill site which has now been closed as it has reached capacity. The new landfill footprint extends from Carp Road west to William Mooney Road but does not extend as far north as the Richardson Side Road.

A number of zoning designations currently apply to the site of the new landfill foot-

print but Waste Management wants to rezone the whole landfill footprint site to a rural heavy industrial zone with an exception that would allow a “solid waste disposal facility” as a permitted use.

Waste Management has made three changes in its landfill proposal from what was put forward in the environmental assessment.

Murphy said that these three changes were made to make the site function better from an environmental perspective but said the province will have to approve them.

The three changes, which have been included in the zoning application to the city, are larger storm water ponds for the new landfill site, a wider entrance and service road for the new landfill and moving the landfill footprint 30 metres to the west to accommodate the larger storm water ponds.

Wayne Jenken of Waste Management, who is handling the site development for the firm, said that the changes were made as Waste Management gained more information as it became more involved in the design process and the geo-technical work pertaining to the new landfill footprint.

He said that the three changes are not significant because they are not changing the volume or other features of the new landfill such as the number of truck trips being made there. He said that the changes will improve the functioning of the site.

The complete application can be found on the city of Ottawa’s website.

From a wildlife and wildlife habitat perspective, Waste Management’s documents claim that there are no area sensitive forest birds found in the proposed footprint site.

A Bank Swallow colony in a steep bank near the south edge of the proposed new landfill will remain in place.

Six amphibian species, essentially frogs, have been recorded within the footprint of the proposed new landfill.

A swamp area along the north fringe of the landfill’s footprint is to remain in place.

To develop the new landfill footprint, vegetation proposed for removal includes 9.5 hectares of forest, four hectares of wetland and 11.4 hectares of meadow.

The city of Ottawa is holding a meeting pertaining to this zoning application on Wednesday, May 28 at the Carp Agricultural Hall in Carp.

News - In Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper spends the Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold summer singing away.

When Location_MyriadPro_Bold the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the ALL TYPE OUTLINED hungry grasshopper must ask the ant for food.

It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough money away for retirement, it could soon become a reality.

According to a Sun Life Financial survey, one quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from. ”There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a matter of reaching out to a financial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global Investments.

Retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to

maintain their standard of living in retirement.

What’s the best way to do that? Start early is the common refrain: A 21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65.

Though those in their 20s may not have much money for investments, between paying off school debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial decade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean.

And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save. ”People in their 30s are not necessarily thinking about retirement,” Crean said.

“They should be, but they are probably just thinking about raising their kids, educating them and paying down their mortgage and maybe take a holiday.”

But no matter how tight the budget, the most important rule to investing for retirement is to, well, just do it. “ ”Everyone should be doing something,” said Crean,

stressing that sitting down with a financial advisor can Òhelp you rest easy at night. ”If you have $2,000 to put away I think most people would look at that and say, ‘that’s not very much. Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say yes, absolutely.”

For most people, though, investing for retirement depends on a lot of variables. ”If you’re a teacher and you have a defined benefit pension plan that has indexing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent income at retirement, you may not need as much money in the bank to augment or complement that income,” Crean explained. ”Other individuals without a pension will need a signifi-

cant amount of money in RRSPs (and other investments) to generate the kind of income required at retirement.”

One recent study, however, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grasshopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net.

A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada.

The study, titled The Reality of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the traditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/ QPP, and voluntary pensions such as RRSPs, overlooks trillions of dollars in assets held

by Canadians.

Those assets are held in the form of home equity and other savings and largely undocumented support from family and friends.

Other research paints a different picture on people’s retirement plans.

BMO Financial Group in March released a report that suggests most Canadians plan to depend on the CPP after their working lives.

The survey showed 90 per cent will look to the CPP in retirement, while 88 per cent will bank on RRSP savings.

Close to 60 per cent will hold a part-time job to fund retirement while 49 per cent plan to sell their homes.

Thirty-four per cent responded they are hoping on a lottery win to get through their

golden years.

But those tasked with overseeing Canada’s pension distribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk.

Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Security with the average monthly payout less than $600.

With a tsunami of retirees flowing through the system in the next 20 years, government officials anticipate a burden on social programs as more people rely solely on CPP. See TSUNAMI, page 40

with NDP support, set out on introducing reforms to supplement the CPP.

Continued from page 39

Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of education and lack of opportunity for investment as key culprits. ”About 50 per cent of the population doesn’t have a private pension plan. A lot of people aren’t utilizing the room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said.

“All this has an impact, ultimately, on our social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.”

”We want to provide more opportunities, more choice and more availability for residents to supplement their pension,” Sousa said.

Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, financial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a financial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retirement should be a priority for everyone. ”Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey.

Horsing around Photographer Sandy Sharkey had a steady stream of patrons checking out her horse photos, all taken in the Ottawa area, at the Manotick Art Association’s spring show and sale, A brush with Art, on May 4. Sharkey said the Sunday showers helped keep attendance and sales high for the artists during the day. Photo right: the event offered everything from photography, small crafts and oil paintings for purchase at the Manotick Curling Centre.

Energy East Pipeline Thank You North Gower from the Energy East Pipeline project team Recently, TransCanada returned to the Ottawa area, in North Gower this time, to discuss our proposed Energy East Pipeline project with the community. Our team listened as community members shared their thoughts on topics that ranged from pipeline integrity and water protection to natural gas prices and emergency response planning.

First, we’d like to say thank you for welcoming us back into your community. These events and the feedback we receive are a large part of our public engagement program and something TransCanada takes very seriously. If it’s important to you, then it’s important to us. We also want to ensure that everyone has the facts about these important topics. Here are a few key answers to the most common questions we heard from North Gower residents: • Special measures will be adopted to ensure the protection of local water resources including using thicker-walled pipe and placing extra sensors and valves closer together in these sensitive areas.

• The pipeline will be monitored 24 hours a day from our state-of-the-art control centre with the ability to shut it down in minutes anywhere along the route. Trained crews and specialized equipment will be strategically placed along the pipeline to respond quickly if needed.

• TransCanada is committed to ensuring there is enough pipeline capacity to meet the current and future needs of natural gas consumers. The cost of supplying natural gas to Ontario and Quebec markets will not go up as a result of Energy East.

I have been with TransCanada for 23 years and am very proud of our safety record and the people who work each day to uphold it. Thank you once again for hosting us and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to meeting with you again very soon. Please visit our website at EnergyEastPipeline.com for more information.

Sincerely,

John Van Der Put Vice-President, Energy East Pipeline Project

Audrey was very fearful of not passing Entrance Class

A

udrey prayed a lot.

Of course, she was much older and much smarter than I was, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why.

Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine.

Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and changed into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill.

As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim.

Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said “amen” in unison, we headed for our beds.

But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course two praying at the same time for the same thing, she convinced me, had much more

MARY COOK Memories my eyes. Then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to graduate from the Entrance Class.

There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances.

And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would graduate from the Northcote School.

This of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were

power than just one of us asking for a special blessing.

The fact that the prayer had nothing to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said, that counted.

And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed.

Once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs.

“Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered, as if I didn’t know enough to close

praying for.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrified my sister.

One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class.

Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother?

Goodness knows there was enough to keep busy at on the farm: the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be readied.

And besides, lots of the older girls, when they finished at the Northcote School, would

go off and get married if they passed or not.

Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out.Then she told me, almost in a whisper, as if she was telling some dark secret.

“Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the Entrance Class?” she asked.

Her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end.And then she said, again in a whisper, but with a kind of sharpness in her voice that I rarely heard: “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.”

She let out a long, purposeful sigh. “Housework. That’s what they do. I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and

clean for the rich people.” She named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people.

So that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the Entrance Class.

Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had graduated from the Entrance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Mentally ill face stigma from medical community: professor Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A picture of a young African boy chained to a bench flashes on the screen behind Dr. Heather Stuart.

In some African villages, people with mental illness are tossed out of their villages, and face starvation or being eaten by wild animals due to nonexistent mental-health services, said Stuart, professor of community health and epidemiology at Queens University.

She is also chair of the World Psychiatric Association’s scientific section on stigma and mental illness.

Here in Canada, many people may think this country has come a long way from a time when people were institutionalized, but they only have to look at our correctional system, which is home to the “largest remaining asylums,” Stuart said, adding that between 60 and 90 per cent of people entering the jail system have mental illness.

“If this is a therapeutic way of dealing with people with mental illness, I’ll eat my hat,” said Stuart, who was invited by the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association to speak at Ottawa’s RA Centre on May 7, to mark Mental Health Week, from May 5 to 11.

“Jails and prisons are not therapeutic and yet, for many, it’s the only and fastest way that they can get access to psychiatric services. And police would rather take someone to jail than an emergency room because they’re so poorly treated in emergency rooms.”

Stuart has been working since the late 1990s to reduce stigma levelled against people with mental illness and to break down barriers which prevent many from seeking help.

She is the first person in the world to hold Bell Canada’s mental health and anti-stigma

Heather Stuart

research chair. Through this initiative, which launched in February 2012, the company is donating $1 million over five years to allow Stuart to research ways to reduce stigma, as well as hire research assistants and arrange for experts to speak at conferences on this issue.

Through her work, the professor has identified that people with mental illness, and their families, are often stigmatized by the very people who are supposed to be treating and supporting them.

“We all stigmatize. We’re all socially hardwired to do it,” she said.

Prejudice and discrimination limits the efforts of healthcare professionals, restricts quality of patient care and interferes with the patient’s ability to recover, said Stuart.

Some patients have reported that their therapist didn’t shake their hand, introduce themselves or even look them in the face.

“This is interpreted as a dehumanizing experience,” Stuart said, adding there is also stigma in hospital emergency rooms.

“I can see them rolling their eyes,” she said, relating the experiences of patients.

“You know, when you close that curtain, I’m crazy, I’m not deaf. I can hear what you’re saying. “‘Get that psycho out of my emergency room’ – stories like

this,” Stuart said.

These barriers are the reason why there needs to be more collaboration among health-care workers, more data and evidence-based research to spur policy makers to fund mental-health research and anti-stigma programs.

There are also smaller things that can be done to make a difference, such as remembering that people with mental illness are people, and focusing on a person’s ability rather than their disability, she said.

Mental health-care professionals should also be more self-critical in order to better understand their patients and work past their prejudices.

“I think if everybody does one little thing, it’ll make a huge difference over time,” Stuart said.

Her message resonated with Tim Simboli, executive director of the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

“People who know me know that I believe in pausing and reflecting and looking in the mirror and seeing that none of us is so good that we can’t be better,” he told the crowd of about 100 people, many of them health-care professionals. “We work on the side of the angels, I like to say.

We care for the plus-ones of the world, if you would, but I think we also need to check ourselves and see what we do.”

It’s important for healthcare providers to reflect on the work they do, said Simboli, because “I suspect that this stuff is insidious. It sneaks into us.

“I think that the power in our speech, the power in our strategies, the power in our knowledge – we really need to tap into that and make sure that we’re on side with all of this.”

Colorectal cancer is preventable News - Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Canada.

Last year alone, 9,000 Canadians died from the disease and an estimated

23,000 will be diagnosed this year.

More tragic, perhaps, is that colorectal or colon cancer is preventable. Because many people do not experience any symptoms in the early stages, ap-

propriate screening is critical.

“Colorectal cancer is a completely preventable disease if we screen for it,” said gastroenterologist, Dr. Mario Castelli. “And it gets more common as we

get older.”

While there are a variety of screening tests available, preparing for them can be inconvenient since fasting, diet restrictions or the collection of stool samples is required. Now, however, a new and simple blood test, known as Cologic, offers access to a quicker and simpler screening process.

“This is a much simpler test,” Dr. Castelli said.

Experts suggest that preventative screening and early detection can save lives.

Pan roasted asparagus trout Helpful hints for family road trips and potatoes make easy dinner

Ingredients

• 3 potatoes, peeled, halved and thinly sliced (about 750 g/1-1/2 lb) • 50 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper • 25 ml (2 tbsp) fresh lemon juice • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh dill • 10 ml (2 tsp) grainy mustard • 1 clove garlic, minced • 500 g (1 lb) rainbow trout fillets, cut in 4 pieces • 500 g (1 lb) asparagus, trimmed

Preparation instructions

Toss the potatoes with 15 ml (one tbsp) of the oil and a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, dill, mustard, garlic and the remaining oil,

salt and pepper and set aside.

Place the fillets, skin side down, on top of the potatoes.

Arrange the asparagus on the trout. Pour the lemon dressing over everything and return it to oven and roast for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, the trout flakes easily and the asparagus is tender-crisp.

Family First: Keep the family entertained on a budget by choosing a hotel with kid-friendly amenities like an indoor pool and waterslide.

Days Inn tells us that kids 12 and under stay free when sharing a room with a guardian.

Plan Ahead: Get the kids involved in the planning process to help create excitement.

Research your destination and remember to book hotel

reservations well in advance.

Look for national hotel chains that cater to families and offer loyalty rewards programs like Wyndham Rewards.

Be Prepared: Always carry an emergency kit and keep it well stocked with the basics like first-aid supplies, extra water, blankets, flares and a flashlight.

Premier draws battle lines on first day of election trail Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Though she didn’t put on a pair of pink boxing gloves she was presented with until after her speech, Premier Kathleen Wynne came out swinging during her first stop in Ottawa on the first day on the provincial election campaign trail.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Ontario New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath and Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Tim Hudak were her primary targets on May 7, when she helped Liberal MPP John Fraser launch his campaign for re-election at his Ottawa-South riding headquarters at 1652 Bank St. Under the Liberals’ jobs and growth plan, Wynne said she will invest in skills and training, transit, and infrastructure to build and renovate schools and hospitals, roads and bridges.

“And Stephen Harper doesn’t like it, but we will create our own provincial pension plan to ensure that Ontario workers can enjoy a secure retirement,” Wynne said, before dozens of supporters, including Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and Marie-France Lalonde, Liberal candidate for Ottawa-Orléans.

“I think it’s what the people of Ontario deserve after they have worked hard, to be able

to expect a decent retirement security,” Wynne said.

The premier and Fraser both applauded former premier and long-time Ottawa-South MPP Dalton McGuinty, who did not attend the campaign launch.

“It’s a riding with such a rich history of representatives that we can all be proud of, especially Dalton McGuinty,” Wynne said. “We owe him a debt of gratitude.”

Fraser, who won the riding in a byelection 10 months ago, said he is extremely proud of “what we accomplished together,” including expansions to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Ottawa Hospital, improved transit, stronger schools and mental health and addiction programs.

“By any objective measure we are light years ahead of where we were,” Fraser said.

Wynne said Ontario needs a leader who is prepared to go “toe to toe” with the prime minister on issues such as economic development in northern Ontario and being short-changed on federal transfer payments.

“The people of Ontario need to ask themselves, will Tim Hudak stand up for Ontario if it means having to stand up to Stephen Harper?” said Wynne, adding that Hudak can’t be trusted to confront the prime minister when they share many of the same values, ideals and policies.

R0012674134

A vote on June 12 for Fraser and Wynne would mean a vote for “jobs and growth, so it’s easier for people to buy a house and pay the bills and save for post-secondary education,” she said, warning Ontarians that a vote for Hudak would result in cutbacks that “would lead to a low-wage, low-growth future.”

The premier also blasted the New Democratic Party for not having a job plan.

“They have no answer to the big questions about economic recovery. They are literally making it up,” Wynne said.

Calling Wynne’s plan “fair, practical and balanced,” Fraser said it would lead to “jobs and a strong economy, a world-class health-care system that will be there when you need it, investing in infrastructure so we can keep our economy and our families moving, and support for our seniors – the very people who built this community.”

Ascorbic acid demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms.

2. Alkalizing: Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid which easily metabolize in the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood.

3. Digestion: Lemon juice stimulates hydrochloric acid in the stomach further aiding digestion. Vitamin C status has been associated with reduced risk of peptic ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

4. Clear Skin: Vitamin C combats free radical damage, which is responsible for many symptoms of aging.

5. Promote Healing: Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage.

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Slice spaghetti squash in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and place squash cut side down on a parchment lined sheet pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until squash is able to pull away from sides in strands. In the meantime, in a large sauté pan, add the vegetable stock. Add the garlic and celery and sauté for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer cooking for 10 minutes. Next add the remaining tomato or yellow pepper, Kalamata olives, lemon juice and lemon zest. Once the squash is ready, pull all the “spaghetti” flesh from the skin and place the cooked squash on a serving platter. Top with tomato mixture, garnish with parsley and season with sea salt and pepper.

By not eating small frequent meal throughout the day, your body goes into starvation mode. When this happens your body assumes that it won’t be getting food again for a while, so instead of burning the food you eat, it will store it as fat.

You can prevent your body from going into this mode by eating within an hour of waking up and then every 3 hours after that.

Running with a champ Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon organizers are already predicting the fastest marathon time ever on Canadian soil, with the event attracting the “best field ever” of elite runners.

One athlete expected to make an attempt at the record, Kenyan runner and member of Kenyan parliament Wesley Korir, stopped off at Bell High School in Bells Corners on May 7 to speak with students enrolled in a unique long-distance running program and take them for a brief run about their track.

A 2012 Boston Marathon winner, Korir has a personal best time of two hours six minutes and 14 seconds.

During his visit, Korir shared the story of how he got into running, which had nothing to do with winning marathons at the time, said Bell High School teacher Karen Kurlicki who introduced him.

Korir did not start off as an aspiring athlete, she said. He ran because he had to.

“When I grew up, running was part of me,” Korir told students.

“I had to run to do everything.”

Korir’s family was poor. He grew up without shoes, and often went without food. But he ran everywhere: to school and back home, to fetch food or water or do other errands for his family every day.

“I didn’t know that was preparing me for my future life and passion,” he said.

But running wasn’t his only necessity, he said. He felt education was as well.

However, in Kenya, high school costs $350 a year, an amount his family couldn’t afford.

“That’s nothing when you are here (in Canada),” he said, but in Kenya, the average daily wage is about $1.

Korir snuck into class for the first couple weeks, but was eventually found out and forced to leave. That didn’t stop him, he said. Korir would sit outside classroom windows, trying to gain any knowledge he could, until a missionary teaching at the school saw him and decided to help.

Using his wages from teaching, the missionary paid for Korir’s schooling.

He graduated high school and went to college in the U.S. through track scholarships, and graduated with a degree in biology.

So, it was the missionary that had helped him afford high school, and his running that had helped afford college that served as his inspiration for the Kenyan Kids Foundation.

HAVING A CAUSE

Korir attempted to pay back his missionary friend the money it cost

to send him to high school. The missionary refused, and asked instead that Korir help another child who wanted to go to school. Korir began by helping one child, and now, through the foundation he started, he is helping hundreds attend school.

Having the goal of helping kids go to school has improved his running, he said.

“If you run without a purpose, without a cause, you are chasing the wind, and you can’t catch the wind,” he told students at Bell High School.

That idea was a big concept for Kurlicki’s students, she said.

The school’s long-distance running program is essentially preparation for a 10-kilometre race exam.

The school also teaches a course on exercise science that studies important influences on a person who beAdam Kveton/Metroland comes a major athlete.

Korir going for Canada record Continued from page 55

“A lot of the kids do both programs, so you’ve got these really academic kids who are also training and have realized what they are capable of doing, and the contribution that they can make into their communities through racing,” she said.

“It sort of opens their eyes to what can be done not just for themselves, but for the community as a whole. So it’s just a very important moment for them, I think, to have him here with us today.”

Before taking a quick run with the students, Korir encour-

aged them to find their own cause, and “change the world.”

OTTAWA MARATHON ELITE

With Korir taking part in the Ottawa Marathon, there are three elite competitors who could break the fastest marathon-on-Canadian-soil record of two hours, seven minutes and

five seconds.

The fastest is Yemane Tseguay of Ethiopia, with a personal best time of two hours, four minutes and 48 seconds, followed by Bazu Worky, also from Ethipoia, with a personal best time of two hours, five minutes and 25 seconds.

Korir is next in line with his personal best time.

“Ottawa is going to be an incredible competitive field,” said Korir in a press release.

“It will give me an opportunity to compete and try to win the race.

“My first goal is to win the race.”

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Twice the Fun for online business in 2014

E

veryone likes to play games.

The desire to unravel puzzles, solve mysteries and be the first to get to an agreed upon finish line is something we seem to be born with.

In the 21st century there are all kinds of games to be played. The computer has replaced the way we do so many things from writing a letter, checking the weather and of course enjoy our games. The new ways are not all bad, just different.

Given an opportunity to experience playing a real and not virtual board game, most people come away with good feelings.

It is all part of enjoying playing with others. As children we experience the feeling of togetherness, having fun with our friends.

Twice the Fun Games captures the essence of playing board games, card games and puzzles. The owner and operator of the online business in North Grenville, Boris Lysynski has a foot in two worlds. As a former electronic engineer he can appreciate the thrill of the virtual gaming world but as a life-time board game fanatic he also enjoys the different experience of facing an opponent in a live game. “I am a gamer,” said Lysynski. “I want people to sit down together and have fun together.” In keeping with

his interest and enthusiasm for board games Lysynski is part of the North Grenville Gamer’s Group, NG3. While Boris is growing Twice the Fun Games he is also sharing the fun with his neighbours. As part of the NG3, he has helped organize the first annual gaming convention “CoyoteCon” for North Grenville. In cooperation with Kemptville Campus, the NG3 will be hosting CoyoteCon on June 21. The event will be held at the W.B. George Centre. The room will be divided in two, explained Lysynski. One side will be ongoing live board games and on the other side will be sponsoring vendors. The always-popular Tri-Game-A-Thon typically sees 25-30 players and showcases: Ticket to Ride; Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne.

The store’s online presence has grown and now he feels it is time for a storefront. Twice the Fun Games has found a home in the lower level of the former Giant Tiger building across from B&H Grocers in Old Town Kemptville. “We will be joining up with the Kemptville Crafters Market this May,” said Lysynski. Twice the Fun Games will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the market.

Twice the Fun Games can be found at www.twicethefungames. ca or for more information, call 613-702-6620.

HARRY & SUNSHINE These two lovely creatures are brother and sister and Harry is the protector. Before they were rescued HE was the macho one taking care of the girls... yes he has another sister called “Moonbeam” and he is still the one they look up to. About one and a half year old siblings... Harry has longer fur and he is a loving, cuddly boy... Sunshine is outgoing and friendly calico... Moonbeam a little shy, grey and white but coming out of her shell Harry gives her confidence. If you see them in person you will feel the love they have for each other.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, your thoughts are distant right now, almost as if you’re living in a fantasy world. This is creatively beneficial but not so helpful for practical tasks.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, if you’re not careful, you could find yourself debating family and friends this week. Instead, try to sit back and listen rather than fostering debate.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, a realization about what is really important to you instills a renewed sense of confidence this week. You will be focused on important things.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Cancer, if your finances seem like they are in a state of upheaval, it could be because you have not looked at everything in black and white just yet. Make some changes.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

You come on too strong sometimes, Leo. Those who know you best can handle this approach, but you can scare off potential new friends if you do not ease up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

7. Dinner jackets 8. Last possible moment 9. Jewish spiritual leaders 10. Central Florida city 11. Any watery animal fluid 12. 198 L Egyptian dry measure unit 20. Prophylactic 24. Before 26.

Be patient and do not demand too much of yourself during the next few days, Virgo. You need to keep your workload light; otherwise, you may get easily overwhelmed.

39. Point midway between E and SE 40. Father 42. Disjointed 43. Yearly tonnage (abbr.)

44. Lowest male singing voices 46. Jacobs, Ribot & Gasol 47. Athens’ marketplace 48. Contests 50. Gathered fall leaves 54. Three banded armadillo 55. A cord necktie 56. Spot on a radar screen 57. Components considered individually 58. Elm, maple or oak 0516

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

This is a time to discover the value of others, Libra. A willingness to try new things and delegate some responsibilities will free up your calendar.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Certain personalities don’t always click, Scorpio. Don’t feel the need to overcompensate for a strained relationship. Spend more time with those with whom you connect.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Flexible thinking is key, Sagittarius, especially as you face a few new challenges this week. There are some opportunities to reconnect with family later in the week.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

A rush of activity fills your calendar and keeps your phone ringing off the hook, Capricorn. Your challenge will be separating the pressing events from others.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, paperwork has built up and requires more time than you had originally planned. There is no way to avoid this task, but a helper can make it move more quickly.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Moderation is your mantra for the week, Pisces. Do not let the pendulum swing too far in either direction.
