Ontario landowners support outsider for PC leadership Progressive Conservative party severely broken, needs overhaul: MP Patrick Brown Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ontario Progressive Conservative Party is severely broken and needs someone from outside its ranks to give it an overhaul, says federal Conservative Member of Parliament Patrick Brown.

That’s the pitch that won Carleton-Mississippi Mills Member of Provincial Parliament Jack MacLaren’s support for Brown’s leadership bid for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

MacLaren announced his support for Brown, currently an MP in Barrie, Ont., at an

event on Jan. 16 at Don Cherry’s Sports Grill in Glen Cairn where Ontario Landowners Association president Tom Black also pledged his support for Brown. “If (the PC party) does anything well, we do a good job of losing,� said MacLaren to the 40 or so people gathered for the event. “We have lost the last four provincial elections with three different leaders, none of whom turned the voters’ cranks.�

MacLaren said that he believes Brown can get the voters excited again, but after some big changes. “I think our party is broken,� said Brown. “I think our party needs to clean house.�

Both Brown and MacLaren contend that Brown is best placed to do that. “It’s very difficult to change the party if you have been working with these people for six, eight or 10 years,� said MacLaren.

Target misses the mark in Canada American retailer to close 133 stores across country Blair Edwards and Erin McCracken blair.edwards@metroland.com

Nancy Thompson was shocked when she learned one of her favourite shopping spots was one of seven Target retail stores closing in the Ottawa and Gatineau area.

“It’s closing?” said Thompson as she stood in the parking lot of the Target store at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre on Jan. 15, the day Target announced it will wrap up operations in 133 stores across Canada over the course of the next five months.

“That’s a shame. I’m definitely going to miss it,” said the South Keys woman. “Too bad for the employees. I feel bad for them. There’s a lot of young people there; it seems they just got trained.”

The American retailer em-

ploys 17,600 employees across the country including hundreds in the greater Ottawa area, with stores at Billings Bridge, Place d’Orléans, Hazeldean Mall, the Meadowlands Mall on Merivale Road, on St. Laurent Boulevard, in Smiths Falls and Gatineau as well as a location that was expected to open this spring at the Bayshore Shopping Centre.

Target Corporation CEO Brian Cornell said in a press release on Jan. 15 that the company would be unable to make its Canadian stores profitable until at least 2021.

“With the full support of Target Corporation’s board of directors, we have determined that it is in the best interest of our business and our shareholders to exit the Canadian market and focus on driving growth and building further momentum in our U.S. business,” said Cornell.

Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Target, said she wasn’t sure when each store would close and that it will vary depending on each location.

The closings will also affect

employees of Starbucks franchises located inside Canadian Target stores, which are run by the American retail chain, said Carly Suppa, a spokeswoman for Starbucks.

“Sadly, Target closing their stores in Canada means that Starbucks stores inside Target will also close,” she said.

The Seattle-based coffee franchise is looking at ways to bring Starbuck stores to communities affected by the Tanger closings, added Suppa.

REACTION

Billings Bridge Shopping Centre management declined to comment except to say it learned on the morning of Jan. 15 about Target’s plans.

“We are disappointed on hearing the news and we’re still trying to understand the ramifications of this announcement,” a spokesperson said hours after the announcement.

Target opened at the shopping centre, located at Bank Street and Riverside Drive, on Sept.

17, 2013.

Cindy Lavigne, the Hazeldean Mall’s general manager, said mall administration became aware of Target’s plan to close at the same time as everyone else.

The Hazeldean Target opened on Sept. 17, 2013, and is listed as one of the mall’s two anchor sites.

Lavigne declined to comment on what the retailer’s announcement would mean for the mall.

“We are hard at work to find a replacement and will manage the transition in the best way possible for our tenants, our customers and community,” she said.

River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington said the company didn’t meet the expectations of Canadian shoppers, including himself.

“I would have hoped they would have done their extensive market research analysis to indicate that Canada was a hotbed for shoppers who support them strongly when we shop south of the border, whether it be cross-border

“But many times I went to (Target at) Billings Bridge and their empty shelves, things in their flyer they just didn’t carry – very frustrating,” he said.

“They honestly didn’t deliver.”

While Target is not considered a large-scale employer

in the Ottawa region, the closure is “significant” for those who are going to be laid off, Brockington said.

Target said approximately 100 to 150 people are employed at each of its retail stores.

Ottawa has vibrant retail sector: chamber NOT A DEATH BLOW

The announced closure of Target stores in Ottawa, while disappointing, has not delivered a blow to the city’s retail market, said Ian Faris, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. “It’s disappointing news in unprecedented expansion and growth, so it’s going to hurt the growth numbers, but there’s still plenty of growth in the retail sector and plenty of choice for the consumer,� he said pointing to the $360-million revitalization and expansion project at the Rideau Centre and the approximately $200-million expansion and redevelopment at the Bayshore Shopping Centre. “Then you get the addition of Tanger (in Kanata) with 75 stores. You get the addition of shops at Lansdowne,� he said.

A vibrant retail sector together with a low

Canadian dollar strongly positions Ottawa, allowing it to be competitive and keep shoppers here, who have in the past gone south of the border to shop, said Faris. “There’s plenty in Ottawa to keep residents from travelling outside the community,� he said.

Likewise, Faris said the job cuts are not going to have a very damaging effect on Ottawa “but any job loss is obviously not helpful.�

Capital Ward Coun. David Chernushenko, whose ward includes the neighbourhood where the shopping centre is situated, said he is always concerned when people lose their source of income, and hoped enough time will be given to allow them to find work elsewhere.

Target confirmed on Jan. 15 all Canadian positions will be eliminated, but said an employee trust has been created “to ensure that employees are treated appropriately,� the company said on its website.

“The employee trust will provide all eligible Target Canada-based team members with a minimum of 16 weeks of compensation, including wages and benefit coverage for those team members who are not required for the full wind-down period.� “More than anything, it’s concern for the individual people,� Chernushenko said.

SHOPPERS SURPRISED

The morning the stores closings were announced, several shoppers at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre Target said they were surprised and disappointed with the news.

Kathy Thompson, a Glebe resident, said she noticed problems at that Target location when it first opened. “They didn’t have enough stock and they didn’t present their stock nicely on the shelves,� she said. “That scared a lot of people off.�

Mary Drynan, who lives in Alta Vista, said she enjoyed shopping at the Billing Bridge Target, which has always been clean, with friendly staff and few lineups. “I’m disappointed because I didn’t know,� she said. “I was concerned because there was never many people in the store.�

Ottawa police say they were forced to Taser a Kanata man who was out of control following a night of drinking on Jan. 20.

Police responded to a call at 6:30 a.m. “regarding an individual who was out of control, throwing and breaking stuff,” at a residence on Autumnfield Street said Const.

Chuck Benoit. “He had been drinking all night,” he said.

Police arrived at the address in Monahan Landing, located south of Bridlewood, to find a man in his early 20’s had cut himself “in numerous locations” on some broken glass, said Benoit.

Police could not subdue the man, “so they had to Taser him … for the safety of the officers as well as for himself,” Benoit said.

The man had sustained “very serious cuts,” said J.P. Trottier, a spokesman for the Ottawa Paramedic Service.

“There was considerable blood loss at scene, but we did manage to stem that and stabilize him at scene and upon his arrival at hospital

he was in serious but stable condition,” said Trottier.

Though the man’s injuries were not life-threatening, Trottier said “he was cer-

“So to have somebody else come in from the outside … is a much more effective way of making the changes,” with no outstanding allegiances and a new direction.

Black said he is advising Ontario Landowners Association members to vote for Brown because he thinks the Barrie MP will bring “a very much more conservative lean than what we’ve been getting out of Toronto, and we tend to think that the PC’s are leaning a bit to the centre.”

He also expressed hope that Brown would push for greater oversight of conservation authorities and the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals which he said are infringing on landowner rights.

Brown denied that he would move the party towards the right, but added he would like to “make sure government gets out of the lives of Ontarians who are simply trying to enjoy their own property and see their business grow.”

Amid references to cutting red-tape for businesses, focusing on getting “the cheapest power, not the most expensive,” pushing for better long-term, in-home care, and more skilled trades programs in schools, Brown said the biggest change he hopes to make is in the party’s tone.

“What I want to see at Queen’s Park is more thoughtful analysis, more reasonable-

ness,” he said. “(The PC’s) voted against the last (Ontario) budget without even reading it. I don’t want us to be the party that votes against everything just because (it came from) the other guys.

“I don’t care about the colour of the jersey, doesn’t matter if it’s orange, red or blue, if it benefits Ontario, if it benefits freedom, if it benefits creating jobs, we will champion is at Queen’s Park.

“I want our party to be the one that says there is no monopoly on a good idea, and frankly, if we take that approach, our criticism will carry more legitimacy, more objectivity and I think we will get a better look, a fresher look from Ontarians.”

Brown said that includes allowing PC MPPs to vote as they see fit, something that he said is encouraged by the federal Conservatives.

Registered candidates for the Progressive Conservative leadership race include MPP for Whitby, Christine Elliott, MPP for Nipissing, Vic Fedeli, MPP for Lambton-KentMiddlesex, Monte McNaughton and MPP for Nepean-Carleton Lisa MacLeod.

MacLeod responded to the news that she would not be receiving the support of McLaren, saying, “I’ve got a great deal of support coming from the area.”

She said she feels the PC party needs “some changes” to make it a viable choice for Ontarians, like paying greater attention to its grass roots during policy development.

“I think that the values that we hold dear are the same values that a vast majority of Ontarians share,” she said.

“We haven’t connected with Ontario voters and we haven’t communicated our values.”

“I think we need a little bit more passion, a little bit more excitement and we need to stay true to our values as Progressive Conservatives and I think when we earn the voters’ trust, we will win.”

MacLaren said that he had not seriously considered supporting any leadership candidate other than Brown, but that the decision had been months in the making.

PC party members will vote for a leader by preferential ballot on either May 3 or 7, with results being announced at the leadership convention on May 9.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a

reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

Richardson Ridge blasting to continue for 3 to 4 months adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Regional Group realestate company is hard at work blowing up potentially twobillion-year-old rock to make way for the development of Richardson Ridge.

Like many development companies in north Kanata, Regional Group has to punch through the Canadian Shield – some of the hardest and oldest, rock in North America.

The rock formation has been giving developers problems for years, said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

“When they are blasting (Canadian Shield rock), there is no natural break point like you have with sedimentary rock,” said Wilkinson. “You can blast in one place and it blasts quite nicely and then you can go 10 feet away and blast and nothing happens.”

That’s because the Canadian Shield is made up of many different types of rock flowing in and out of each other, she said.

The blasting work at Richardson Ridge is difficult, said Mark Cook, an engineer with M-Roc Ltd., the blasting company hired to work on the north Kanata development.

“The rock is challenging with many folds, seams and cracks,” said Cooke.

January’s winter chill can also hold up operations, he said, as heavy equipment is difficult to operate in temperatures at -20 C or below.

But the work is on track to be finished in three to four months, said Regional Group’s manager of land development,

Steve Cunliffe.

Blasting in the development area, north of Kanata Avenue and just east of Terry Fox Drive, began in early December.

The work is being done to make way for basements, storm water drains and other services, as well as to flatten out the area for roads and buildings.

DEBRIS

Though blasting is strictly regulated by the federal and provincial governments, damage to nearby residences sometimes occurs, said Wilkinson.

“I know in my own house when they were blasting near us, a piece of rock hit the side of the house one time,” said Wilkinson. “My kids were little and I had them trained to go in the middle of the house away from the windows (whenever they heard blast-warning whistles).”

Flying debris is by far the biggest risk in the blasting industry, according to M-Roc. Expert blasting teams can all but eliminate flying rock debris in urban areas by using heavy blasting mats which deflect debris and rock.

Residents are more bothered from the vibrations produced by blasting, which can sometimes cause valuables on walls to shake loose and fall, said Cunliffe.

The company has received a handful of calls from residents with concerns about the blasting, he added.

Cooke said he has been contacted by many concerned homeowners.

“The blasting in Kanata is being performed by the same company that does blasting in downtown Ottawa near historic structures including the Parliament Buildings,” said Cooke.

“Well controlled blasting does not do any damage to nearby homes or structures,” he said.

To manage stress levels on houses, the developer has seismographic monitors in place to make sure any vibrations remain within an acceptable range, and has performed preblast surveys of houses within a certain distance from blasting to create a record in case any damage is reported. “(Blasting) is an unfortunate part of building in Kanata North,” said Cunliffe. “Everybody else (in the area), they got in their houses through the same process, someone having to basically put up with this blasting and rock crushing and everything else. But we are concerned about it and we do keep in touch with the contractor constantly.”

“I’ll be frank … there usually isn’t that much damage,” he said. “Sometimes, if there is an inherent defect in your house, the blasting just magnifies that, but it would have happened anyways.”

The closest blasting will get to houses is about 20 metres, he said, on the north side of the development.

Blasting can only occur between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

The development will include 1,000 residential units, made up of single-family houses, townhouses and apartment buildings.

Blasting and rock-smashing has resumed at the Richardson Ridge development near Terry Fox and Huntsville drives after a holiday break. The work is being done to break through Canadian Shield rock so servicing, basements and roads can be put in.

Time to ask for some help

I

t seems Ottawa is once again picking up the provincial government’s slack, but this time it’s at the municipality’s request.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is proposing the city take the lead on a proactive measure designed to help young gang members break their criminal ties when they are released from jail.

After meeting with Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau on Jan. 12 to discuss a spike in gang violence across the city in 2014, Watson promised to find funding in the municipal budget to pay for a new “exit strategy� program.

Keep in mind, this is coming from a mayor who has pledged to cap annual budget increases at two per cent during his four-year term of office.

City hall is obviously feeling the pressure to do something after the city was rocked with a record 49 shootings – many of them gang related – last year.

A few councillors had even suggested providing money to hire more officers, giving Bordeleau the opening to break a police hiring freeze.

But the police chief says he has no intention of

requesting additional funds, and instead is beefing up the guns and gangs section by using officers from other units.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution, but then again, the spike in gang-related violence is a temporary situation, not a continuing trend, according to Bordeleau.

We won’t see immediate results from the mayor’s suggested exit strategy for gang members – this is a long term solution which will only bear fruit over the years to come.

As laudable a program as the exit strategy may be, we question the reason why the funding must come from the city’s coffers.

Any program attacking the rate of re-offence among young offenders should fall under the purview of the provincial or federal governments.

We applaud city council for taking the initiative, but perhaps the mayor should consider making a phone call to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a local MPP and, co-incidentally, also the minister of community safety and correctional services.

We only have ourselves to blame

W

e often lament changing times, because times change from what we have liked.

When a bookstore shuts down, a depressingly familiar event in this town, there is a chorus of lament from book-lovers. When a familiar smoke shop shuts down, as Brittons did last week, the media are full of lamentations from former customers.

It’s all sincere. We like little bookstores. We hate it when they disappear. We love smoke shops, the ones with magazines and newspapers from all around the world. We want them always to be there.

But then, when was the last time we were in one? And don’t we read newspapers from all over the world online now? And don’t we buy online

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town subscriptions to those magazines?

And didn’t we quit smoking?

Not that it will make any of us feel better, but it’s helpful, in facing up to change, to recognize that change isn’t some disembodied force that swoops down on us, closing book stores. Change comes, at least in part, from decisions we make. We could probably have stopped some of it, or at least slowed it.

Some of the decisions we make are smart ones, some are just lazy

and some are mixed. For example, it was smart to quit smoking, even though one of the functions of a smoke shop is to sell smokes.

But, buying magazine subscriptions online? Well, we could argue that we are saving trees by cutting down the volume of paper we purchase. But it could also be said that we were too lazy to support the store that sold those magazines. Maybe we didn’t think about the consequences.

The same goes for bookstores.

First we moved away from the smaller stores to the big chains, because of greater variety and discounted prices.

Our loyalty to the little shop on the corner lasted until we saw the first “40 per cent-off� sticker.

Whatever loyalty we had to the big chains began to dissipate when DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 'RAHAM "RAGGER ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST "RAD #LOUTHIER /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

we saw greater variety was to be had from Amazon and we didn’t have to go outside. And then there was another blow from progress, the invention of the ebook, which caused many of us to move away from printed books altogether in favour of stuff you can read on gadgets.

It wasn’t some dark force that caused all this. It was us.

We want things to be as cheap and as convenient as possible. Sure, there are corporations and governments that encourage us to indulging our little weaknesses. But it wasn’t a government, and probably wasn’t entirely corporate vileness that caused us to lose downtown movie theatres.

It was people who wanted free parking at the suburban megaplex or a DVD in the comforts of home.

Similarly, it isn’t government and corporations that are causing the traffic unpleasantness we find ourselves in daily. It’s us, deciding we don’t

like to wait for the bus.

This is quite a bit of scolding to take out of the closing of one little smoke shop, but there we are. We could put it in our pipe and smoke it, as the saying goes, if we could find a place to buy one.

Train your brain to develop a healthy lifestyle

H

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse exercise.

So what are we doing wrong? It’s worth considering something I wrote about in the last issue – the teenage brain.

To summarize, teen brains are highly susceptible to behavioural reinforcement. In the early years of adolescence, we’re still developing our executive functions. Our brains are also busy making connections, with channels thickening at a rapid pace.

The habits we create as teenagers are the ones we’ll carry through for a lifetime.

Scary stuff.

But here’s the good news.

Although adolescence is a time of rapid brain develop-

ment, our adult brains remain plastic. That means we have the ability to retrain them, to reinforce positive connections in the hopes of eliminating the bad ones.

The problem with New Year’s resolutions is they too often focus on the latter, phrased in the negative: Eat less junk food, lose weight, or stop watching TV before bed.

If you’re like me, even if you do set positive goals, you may have a tendency to be all or nothing. When I decide to do yoga, I don’t just do a class; I need to buy an unlimited monthly trial.

I’m very optimistic about the capabilities of my future self, who will surely head out to

the studio after dinner each evening. As a result, I haven’t been to a single class in 14 years.

Let’s try a little experiment. Say you want to quit smoking. Positively, you want to breathe easier and be healthier. Forget about eliminating the negative channels for now – the ones that drive you to smoke and feel like a stinky loser that may die any day. Instead, resolve to reinforce positive behaviours in a limited way: I’m going cross-country skiing once per

week.

Once you succeed in establishing a pattern, add something else to the mix.

Maybe it’s simple like drinking more water. Don’t drown yourself in water. Just plan to take an extra sip a couple of times per day. See where that takes you.

Humans are creatures of habit. The more we do something, the more our brain wants us to do it. Breaking habits is hard. Creating new ones is also hard, but if you set reasonable expectations, R0033078702

it’s more possible.

Don’t overdo it. Set a goal to run – or go to the gym, or eat kale, or pray – once or twice per week. See if you start craving a run on your days off. If you do, indulge. If not, at least you’ve run twice this week.

I’ll let you know how it goes for me. My initial resolution was to become a cross-country ski champion

by March, but I’ve decided a jaunt every Sunday is enough for my little brain for the moment.

ow many of you are using your exercise bike as a clothes hanger?

Come on, raise your hands.

We’re three weeks into the New Year, so resolutions should be pretty much out the window. With the cold weather, you should be back to eating cheese by the kilo, drinking red on a Wednesday and napping, instead of exercising, after work.

But we’re going about these resolutions all wrong – New Year’s or otherwise. Our brains are like dissident little children: The last thing they want to do is listen to what we have to say.

I think I’ve got a solution.

First, forget the Band-Aid approach. You say you’re going to the gym five times per week? Your brain tricks you. You start out strong the first week. The following week you make it maybe four times, then two by the third week.

Man wielding machete robs Kanata Rogers outlet Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa police are looking for a suspect who allegedly stole cellphones from a Rogers outlet while brandishing a sheathed machete on Jan. 2.

According to a police news release, a lone male entered a retail outlet in the Signature Centre on Terry Fox Drive at about 8:45 p.m. and took “a machete type knife in a sheath� from his duffel bag and demanded he be given cellphones.

The man fled the premise with an undisclosed quantity of cellphones, leaving no one injured.

Rogers did not respond for comment before the Kourier-Standard went to press.

The suspect, caught on camera, is

Ottawa Valley Tours

described as being of Middle Eastern descent, about 193 centimetres tall with a medium build. He was wearing black track pants, white runners, a grey bomber jacket and “a Yukon style hat with checkered black and grey fur on the ear flaps,� according to police.

The man also wore a head scarf which kept much of his face from view, police said. “Obviously the suspect took some steps to disguise his appearance, but we are hoping either somebody recognizes clothing or has knowledge through other means of the robbery and is willing to call us directly or indirectly through Crime Stoppers,� said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa Police robbery unit.

A cellular provider blacklist may also help to locate the suspect, and

TM

ensure people do not find themselves purchasing stolen phones, he said.

Robberies targeting cellphones are becoming less and less frequent, he said, after a black list was established in Sept. 2013.

Phones that are known to have been stolen can be added to the list via a website called protectyourdata.ca. The list is shared among cellphone service providers who agree not to provide service to any phone on the list.

In this case, the serial numbers, or IMEI numbers associated with the stolen phones have been added to the list. “If people have encountered anybody who has sold them a phone and they have had issues with activating (the phone), then we would like to hear from them as well,� said Haarbosch.

Also, he encouraged anyone planning on buying a phone from an individual to request the IMEI number and check protectyourdata.ca to see if it has been stolen. Anyone with information about the robbery can contact police at 613-236-1222 ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).

KANATA-MARCH HORTICULTURAL CLUB

The Kanata-March Horticultural Club will host a meeting, featuring a talk by master gardner Rebecca Last, on Feb. 3.

Starting plants from seeds Kanata-March Horticultural Club

It’s so cold outside now that planting a garden in a few months seems almost unimaginable. But planning well ahead of gardening season will ensure that you are ready for action when the snow finally disappears. But how do you get started?

On Tuesday, Feb. 3, the Kanata-March Horticultural Society will welcome master gardener Rebecca Last, who will present All From a Little Seed. Last’s presentation will show home gardeners how they can save money, have fun and breed new varieties of plants by starting their own seeds.

The talk will include sources for seeds, equipment and supplies needed for seed-starting, what seeds to start, where and when along with other trou-

bleshooting tips. The meeting will run from 7:30 to 9 p.m.: at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd. The entrance to the Old Town Hall is on Klondike Rd across from Shoppers Drug Mart. There is a $5 fee for non-members.

Society members are gardeners from novice to expert in experience, who share a common love of plants, gardening and take pride in their home’s landscaping. The society fea-

tures guest speakers each month on a variety of topics, and helps beautify the local community through the maintenance of the Molly Wilson garden at the Old Town Hall.

New members are welcome at any time of the year. Memberships follow the calendar year from January-December, and the cost per year is $15 per person or $25 per couple.

Root vegetable, chicken salad makes great lunch or dinner fresh tarragon leaves

The recipe that ran in the Jan. 8 edition of the Kanata Kourier-Standard, provided by Foodland Ontario, contained incorrect instructions. This is the correct recipe.

I am pleased to have joined forces with 7 of my west end colleagues in the year long “I’m an ACE Ambassador” community fundraising campaign for our local hospital –Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH).

Councillors Chiarelli, Harder, El-Chantiry, Qadri, Egli, Wilkinson, Taylor and I are asking each household in our wards to donate $30 to the ACE Ambassador Campaign. The money, which would amount to a total $1.5 million contribution by Christmas 2015, with your support, will fulfill the remaining “community raised” component of the funds required to build a 34-bed Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit at the QCH. The Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit is the first of its kind in the Ottawaarea and only the second in Ontario specializing in holistic geriatric care of our most fragile population. It will be an in-patient unit that will help meet an urgent and growing need in Ottawa for specialized acute geriatric care and enhance a philosophy focused on patient and family-centered care. ACE patients will usually have at least one other chronic disease in addition to their presenting condition making them more vulnerable to the hazards of hospitalization. The ACE approach has been shown to reduce and avoid these complications.

Queensway Carleton Hospital serves one of the fastest aging populations in Canada. Over 70% of their medical in-patients are over the age of 65. The province entrusted QCH with this strategic investment, second in Ontario after Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, by contributing close to $9 million towards the unit. QCH Foundation still needs the remaining $3 million to fund the ACE Unit.

Details of the campaign continue to evolve and will be announced soon. But, in the meantime, residents can get in early. To donate please visit: www.ace. qchfoundation.ca or contact my office for more information.

Kanata singer/dancer takes on comedy role in Teen Showcase adam.kveton@metroland.com

Submitted

Bridlewood’s Megan Hulan is one of 14 talented teens performing in an Ottawa community theatre group’s first ever Teen Showcase at Centrepointe Theatre on Jan. 24 and 25.

A 13-year-old Bridlewood girl is hoping to earn a few laughs with her first ever comedy monologue for Suzart Productions’ inaugural Teen Showcase at Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean on Jan. 24 and 25.

Megan Hulan is one of 14 teenagers will be taking to the stage for the pair of performances of Suzart’s first ever teen variety show.

The shows will feature pop songs, Broadway tunes, comedy and dance numbers put together by Suzart’s best youth performers. Even the sound and lighting will be led by teens, under the direction of an adult.

Hulan has been performing on stage since the age of five, starting off by learning British-style pantomimes.

At the age of 11, she blossomed into a singer and dancer.

With the first Teen Showcase, she is going beyond her usual roles and performing a comedy monologue that has her excited to get some

laughs.

Hulan’s monologue, which discusses how women always seem so happy to be doing housework when depicted in commercials for detergent and other household items, is just one of many she is taking on along with her fellow Suzart teens.

Hulan will also perform in duets of I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher, and Freedom from the musical The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown.

She will also perform in group numbers like Happy

“Singing and dancing, it’s always just been kind of recreational, but it’s something I’ve done my entire life,” she said. “It’s sort of become a part of me, so I have really enjoyed helping out by making the costumes for the shows. That was really one thing that I got involved with in my first show and I love doing it.”

The showcase will be a unique opportunity for her and other talented teens to take centre stage and show what they’ve got, she said.

“Often, when we are doing musicals, most of the lead roles go to adults or older teenagers, but it’s really nice to have so many solos and duets and featured numbers with the youth,” said Hulan.

“I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish with this show.”

Laser hair removal can provide fast, long-lasting results. But did you know these services are unregulated in Ontario? Anyone can legally perform laser hair removal. There is no requirement for proper training or certification.

Lasers are powerful, complicated machines. Without qualified technicians, patients risk pain, burns, scarring or infection, with no guarantee of a reduction in hair growth.

At the Kanata Skin Clinic, we provide you with the safest, most effective treatment possible. We maintain medical standards of cleanliness and sterilization. All laser hair removal treatments are performed by professional, fully-qualified Medical Aestheticians.

And all of our services are supervised by Dr. Erik Hegmann, MD, so if any questions or concerns arise, he’ll be there to take care of you.

Inaugural Chinese New Years Festival coming to EY Centre Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Kanata resident Simon Huang is a long way from his family home in northern China.

That means he all too often misses gatherings in which his family comes together to celebrate the start of the new year in the lunar calendar, and make tasty homemade jiaozi dumplings together from scratch.

“It’s my favourite food,” Huang said.

But in a matter of weeks, he will get the chance to bite into a jiaozi here in Ottawa, and start the Chinese New Year off right.

“In the north, everyone will get together and make the dumplings,” Huang said.

“So it brings everybody together. You can chit-chat at the same time, catch up on what they have been doing the entire year.

“It’s more about the gettogether and (making) the dumplings,” said Huang, project co-ordintor with the

new non-profit Ottawa Asian Fest, which is organizing the CIBC Chinese New Years Festival at the EY Centre on Sunday, Feb. 8, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The organization was founded last August with the goal of putting together a festival that would represent Asian communities in Ottawa and fill a void created by a successful night-time Asian summer carnival held two years ago that didn’t continue.

“The mission of (the Ottawa Asian Fest) is basically to promote Asian culture and heritage, but at the same time foster a mutual understanding with all other cultures,” Huang said. “We saw that there is a very large Asian population in Ottawa who are willing to come out and celebrate our tradition, heritage and culture.”

Ottawa is home to one of the fastest growing Asian populations in Canada compared to larger centres like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, said Huang, who thinks it may be due to

the city’s economic stability, and that people view Ottawa as family oriented and a safe place to live.

While the festival is open to everyone, the hope is it will draw different Asian communities together.

“I think it shows unity,” said Huang, adding that the name of the Chinese New Years Festival may one day evolve into one that more aptly reflects that unity and inclusivity.

In the meantime, the festival is the group’s first endeavour and will be held the same day as a Chinese New Year parade along Somerset Street in Ottawa’s Chinatown.

A traditional lion dance parade begins at 1 p.m., featuring the talents of Tony Fan’s Ottawa-based Success Lion Dance Troupe.

Toronto Chinese radio hosts Simon Lau and Anson Wong will be the festival’s masters of ceremony and live modern and traditional music will be performed.

Toronto band Sonic Fire and solo vocalist Jane Lu will showcase their talents, and Ottawa’s Cindy Zichan Yang will perform on a traditional Chinese guqin seven-string instrument and Teresa SuenCampbell will perform on the harp.

The first of two different fashion shows will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and will feature the traditional clothing of different Chinese dynastic eras.

The second fashion show, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., will showcase modern clothing.

“We were able to actually liaise with a designer in Beijing and these qipaos (traditional Chinese dresses for women, also known as cheongsams) are designed specifically for our show,” Huang said, adding the models will walk to live music during the show.

The fun won’t end with the fashion. There will be a deejay and everyone is invited to dance from 8 to 10 p.m.

While the official start to Year of the Sheep doesn’t begin until Feb. 19, Huang said the festival date was chosen for good reason.

“Traditionally, people spend it with their families at home,” he said of Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. “So what we want is to celebrate ahead so it doesn’t interfere with people’s own agendas.”

Admission to the Chinese New Years Festival is $10 per person in advance or $15 at the door. Advance tickets are available at ottawaasianfest. com, Kanata Noodle House, located at 500 Hazeldean Rd. and New Mee Fung Restaurant, located at 350 Booth St. The EY Centre is located at 4899 Uplands Dr.

ACCOUNTING

Stop wildlife collisions in their tracks Lifestyle - From St. John’s to Victoria, Canada is certainly known for its unique and picturesque landscapes. We are one of a handful of countries where people and wild animals live side by side, usually quite peacefully. However, when those people are behind the wheel of a car, that relationship gets a bit trickier.

Wildlife collisions are a real worry for Canadian drivers, particularly between April and June, when they are most frequent. The most costly result of these collisions is injury

or even death of both the wildlife and the driver. They’re more common than you’d think – a report from Transport Canada found that between four to eight large animal vehicle collisions take place every hour in Canada. “Most people, especially those in regions with a mix of urban and rural areas, need to be more aware of animal collisions,� says insurance and claims expert Mauro Convertini from Aviva Canada. “It’s important that drivers know the risks and act

responsibly behind the wheel to try to prevent these accidents.�

Convertini offers these tips to reduce your chances of being involved in a wildlife collision: • Read the signs and watch the road: Those yellow signs with the prancing deer are erected to warn drivers to slow down and be more aware, especially at night. • Stay in control: Never swerve abruptly – hitting a tree or moving into oncoming trafďŹ c can result in signiďŹ cantly more harm than

hitting the animal. Brake ďŹ rmly if an animal is standing on, or crossing, the road. • React: If you can’t avoid striking the large animal, be ready to duck inside your car. Big animals – well in access of 100 kilos--can come through your windshield and cause severe injuries.

More information is available from your insurance broker or online at avivacanada.com.

Hope.

Field hockey player set to take on the world Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

YAN HUCKENDUBLER/SUBMITTED

Malinda Hapuarachchi plays in December’s Four Nations indoor field hockey tournament. Hapuarachchi will play with Team Canada in the upcoming Indoor Hockey World Cup.

R0013097484

Ottawa native Malinda Hapuarachchi will take on European powerhouse teams as a part of Team Canada in the upcoming Indoor Hockey World Cup. Hapuarachchi plays indoor field hockey, which she started after an impulse tryout during her first week as a Grade 9 student at Cairine Wilson Secondary School.

She played with a competitive club in Ottawa, and eventually went to the University of Toronto, which is known for having a strong field hockey team.

“That one decision to try out for that (high school) team really shaped the rest of my life,” Hapuarachchi said.

She played for the U of T Varsity Blues in Toronto, and now as a PhD student still at the school, acts as the team’s assistant coach.

She played outdoors with the Varsity Blues and for other teams and was briefly a part of the outdoor national program, but has found her competitive niche in the indoor game.

The now 31-year-old is still a force to be reckoned with on the court, and will head to her second World Cup, which takes place in Leipzig, Germany, the first week of February.

She’s the only member of the team that travelled to the 2007 World Cup; Canada didn’t qualify in 2011.

The Canadians have to win at the Pan American Cup the

year prior to the World Cup in order to qualify. The Canadian team won in 2014; a team that Hapuarachchi couldn’t play on because of academic commitments.

Indoor field hockey, a fouron-four sport played on a court, is very popular in Europe – especially Germany and the Netherlands, where Hapuarachchi played for several months after finishing her undergraduate degree.

She compared the European clubs to Canadian ice hockey clubs, with multiple courts and competitive divisions.

“Indoor is growing for a lot of the European teams,” she said. “And in Europe, everyone is so close to each other, it’s very easy to compete. In Canada we’re more isolated. To get to international competitions, it’s a lot more cumbersome.”

The Canadians are going into the tournament ranked ninth of the 12 teams, so they have realistic goals, including improving their position on the international stage.

Hapuarachchi said the team aims to have strong play in the opening rounds of the tournament and finish in the top eight – which would mean upsetting higher ranked teams.

Not all Canadian national teams receive funding from Sport Canada; indoor field hockey is an unfunded sport. It means training, travel and competition costs fall to the athletes themselves, many of whom have full time jobs or studies to deal with at the same time.

“You do it because you love it

and you want to play at the highest level possible,” Hapuarachchi said. “It takes a lot of time and money to do these things.”

While there’s a chance this may be her last World Cup as she prepares to finish her studies at the University of Toronto, Hapuarachchi doesn’t see field hockey ever leaving her life.

“I feel like I’m going to be one of those people who will be involved in field hockey in some capacity for my entire life,” she said.

“If it’s coaching, or if it’s being an old lady at 65 trucking around the field with my stick.”

Ottawa - If you’ve tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the “For Sale

Like other “For Sale by Owners”, you’ll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can’t possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a

Rockcliffe Hosers looking to build own rink of dreams

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

One of the city’s best-maintained community rinks is working towards becoming the first to operate above and beyond the city’s traditional skating season.

The Rockcliffe community rink has more than 120 volunteers who help flood, shovel and maintain the outdoor rink, which is operational typically before many other rinks in the city thanks to the Rockcliffe Hosers.

The group comprised of volunteers from the neighbourhood who can spend up to two hours a night, sometimes in the frigid cold, to ensure children can skate on the rink the next morning.

But the community is

BUS ISSUES – Particularly the 60, 64 and 68 Discussion with OC Transpo, Tuesday Feb. 3rd, 7– 9 pm, Minto Room, Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata I’ve heard from many bus users, particularly in the Morgan’s Grant area, about their problems with the express services to and from Kanata. The introduction of route 64 resulted in changes to the 60 and 68 routes, some of which benefitted riders and others that are creating difficulties.

The new 64 has also had problems. Since no new funding was available, the three routes combined have the same number of buses to serve the 3 routes, resulting in longer wait times between buses on each route. I have met with OC Transpo and they have agreed to come to a meeting to hear your concerns and discuss any possible adjustments. Pat Scrimgeour, Manager of Operations (which includes route locations), and Troy Charter, Assistant GM Transit Operation, have both agreed to be present, so you will be speaking to senior management who can make changes. If you can’t attend the meeting please continue to send your concerns to OC Transpo and to myself.

RADON GAS PUBLIC MEETING Monday Jan. 26, 6:30 pm, Beaverbrook Library, 2500 Campeau Drive Radon gas is naturally occurring in the soil all across Canada. Since it is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, it is important to know about it and how to deal with it. Kanata North is one of the areas in Ottawa where some high levels have been recorded. I’ve asked Health Canada to present information about safe levels and what remedial action you can take if the level in your home is above the recommended level. The cost to take care of the situation is not high and, additionally, for new homes the cost will be paid for by the builder or through the Tarion warranty. This meeting is your opportunity to understand radon gas and meet with experts from Health Canada, City of Ottawa, Tarion and radon companies.

looking to make this rink even better.

The plan is to build a field house and permanent concrete pads and boards for a rink in the winter and sports court in the summer.

Montgomery said building the field house and having a skating rink controlled by cooling cement pads would optimize the skating season for residents in the area.

“We think we can go from November to mid-March with a permanent rink – all without the city’s help,” said Brian Montgomery, head of the Rockcliffe Hosers. “Now we are at the mercy of waiting for the city to put up the boards and drop off the trailer so we can have electricity.”

The plans for a field house are being made after the former

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD (OEB) Consultation on Energy East Pipeline, Thursday Jan. 22, 6 - 9:30pm Brookstreet Hotel, Kanata

FAMILY DEALS

This consultation will provide you with information on the OEB’s position on the proposed pipeline conversion, through Ottawa, to take crude oil to a refinery in the east. We would like to receive your input and recommendations.

Our Family Pack now starts at just $60 and includes 2 Adult & 2 U21 tickets, plus onsite parking.

DID YOU KNOW? That prior to construction of the Queensway, west of Eagleson/March, students from Katimavik used a path across the fields to get to Earl of March High School and that after it was built they ran across the freeway! My next story about Kanata is about how Kanata got a pedestrian overpass in this location. What stories do you have to tell?

Send them to me and I will get them compiled as a social history of our communities. They can be past or present, from any part of Kanata, and be personal reflections (e.g why I moved to Kanata) or about a community matter. The collection of stories will be presented to the Beaverbrook Library for safe keeping in the Kanata Room.

The City has received a submission for the second phase of development at the Tanger Outlet Mall, to be located between Feedmill Creek and the 417.

It shows 7 pads for development – a 6-storey hotel and 6 restaurant areas.

Rockcliffe Hosers, a group of parents who help maintain the community rink are currently fundraising to build permanent cement pads and a field house for the community. Donors who have supported the $490,000 fundraising initiative are placing “We Support the Rockcliffe Rink Project” signs on their lawn.

Montgomery started a campaign in 2011 to build the rink and facility. In order to ensure a permanent rink was indeed what the community wanted, the group conducted an independent census in 2012. The census surveyed all 650 homes in Rockcliffe. Montgomery said there were 250 responses and 77 per cent of the homes were in favour of the project.

“We were very, very pleased with the responses,” he said.

“There is clearly a need for a recreation facility in the neighbourhood.”

After the consultation process, the Hosers received support from the Rockcliffe Park Residents Association to support the rink project last year.

A once informal group of rink rats, the Hosers applied to become a corporation shortly after and Montgomery said they expect to receive charitable designation this year.

The rink will be similar in size and style as the Ottawa Senators Foundation community rink in Lowertown at Jules Morin Park, with a concrete base and permanent boards.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE FUTURE SHOP JANUARY 16 CORPORATE FLYER On the January 16 flyer, page 18, the Nikon D5200 DSLR camera package (WebID: 10284824/10300492) was incorrectly advertised with an image of an extra lens. Please be advised that the package does not include an additional lens. It only comes with the 18-55mm VR II lens.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Volunteer group looks to raise thousands for new field house, chilling pads in east end In the winter months, cooling pads would allow the community rink to open as soon as the temperature drops below 10 C and could remain operational until late March, even April if the temperature allows.

The addition of a field house will offer electricity and change rooms and washrooms year-round.

The plans do not come cheap – the project will cost $980,000 to build both the field house and the cooling pads.

Having already applied for a grant with the city called the Community Partnership Major Capital Program, Montgomery said the village will need to only raise $490,000.

The Hosers began officially

“Cheques are coming in more than a trickle, less than a deluge but most are coming in are for the full amount.”

Brian Montgomery, head hoser

Montgomery said the group is asking for a donation of at least $490 from each household and so far, he said he has been pleasantly surprised.

“Cheques are coming in more than a trickle, less than

a deluge but most are coming in are for the full amount,” he said.

When people donate, homes have the opportunity to place a “We Support the Rockcliffe Rink Project” sign on their lawn.

“I would like to have everyone in the neighborhood to donate, because it is for the neighborhood,” Montgomery said.

And true to form, the plan is to make the rink first and foremost a community space.

The goal is to raise both funds for the construction as well as additional operational costs so the group will not need to rent out time to cover costs.

There is also Hoser swag available for purchase – toques, sweatshirts and sweat-

fundraising in November, with local students visiting all 650 homes in Rockcliffe to drop off pledge forms.

pants residents can buy which have the Rockcliffe Hosers logo on it.

So far, $2,000 worth of merchandise has been sold for the project.

Montgomery said they will release a retro line – a line with the original Hosers logo, as well the group plans to open a Shopify store for the cause.

Aside from swag, there will also be monthly fundraising events which will be hosted by different Hoser members.

Montgomery said he hopes to reach their fundraising goal by the summer and receive approvals for construction from the city in the fall, with construction could begin as early as next as spring.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, January 22, 2015 29

Manotick’s annual winter celebration promises to warm the cockles of every family member’s heart at the end of January.

From sleigh rides to live music and everything in between, the festival has lined up entertainment and activities for every age group, with all proceeds heading to the Youth of Manotick Association. That group has been fundraising to offer weekly youth programs in the village, with the ultimate goal of building a permanent youth centre.

The festival committee, a branch of the Manotick Village and Community Association, supported the youth group last year as well, bringing in about $1,200 according to lead organizer Jan Hynes.

The festival’s packed schedule begins Friday, Jan. 30 with a roaring bonfire in Centennial Park, where neighbours can come together for a cup of cocoa beginning at 6:30 p.m.

At the arena next door, interested visitors can check out the Rideau Skating Club’s exhibition of its most talented figure skaters between 6 and 6:50 p.m. before lacing up and showing off their own skating skills dur-

ing a family skate session at 7 p.m.

Afterward, families can feel the heat with Dr. Kaboom, who will offer a novelty and magic show from 8 to 9 p.m.

Saturday is by far the festival’s busiest day, kicking off with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Manotick Kiwanis between 7:30 and 11 a.m. in the arena hall. Entrance is $5 per person, with kids under three getting in for free. Beginning at 9:30, kids ages two to six can also make a winter craft, get their face painted and take a tour of a local fire engine.

After breakfast families can take a spin around the village on a horse-

Admission is free, and a can of pop and slice of pizza is only $3.

“Last year was marvelous,” said Hynes. “The talent that I saw, it was absolutely amazing.”

She said the first year they ran the Amp It Up event, few kids came out because Shiverfest was held during the week of high school exams. Now that the festival has been moved to the last week of January, Hynes said the event attracts hundreds of teenagers.

For adults looking for a little entertainment on Saturday night, the Hard Stone Grill will host an open mic night beginning at 8 p.m. Vocalists, instrumentalists and poets are invited to share up to two selections to highlight their talents.

The open mic night is a regular event that takes place the last Saturday of every month, but since it dovetails with Shiverfest’s schedule Hynes said the organizers take the opportunity to promote it in the community.

On Sunday, Feb. 1 local historians and competitive know-it-alls alike can duke it out at the annual trivia contest at the Mill Tavern between 1 and 4 p.m. Hynes said the event is by far the biggest fundraiser of the weekend, so she wants to pack the house. Tickets are $15 each, and can be purchased through Manotick Office Pro.

Appetites should be raging once again by the time the chili cook-off begins inside the Manotick Legion at noon. Guests pay only $5 to become one of hundreds of judges who can taste as many chilis as they like until 2:30 p.m. If you’re too squeamish for chili but want to hang out with bugs and reptiles, families can head back to the arena hall to see a show from Little Ray’s Reptiles between 1 and 2 p.m.

And Saturday night is sure to rock as well, as local bands come out for a youth dance between 6 and 9 p.m. in the arena hall.

Maddy’s Gala raises $350,000 for Roger’s House Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

When Jeanine Otto’s daughter, Maddy, suddenly died from inoperable cancer in 2007, she thought she would never smile again.

The Barrhaven family had been on vacation at a cottage when Maddy woke up from a nap one afternoon and began behaving strangely.

Her speech was slurred; she had trouble balancing and she started stumbling around.

“We laughed at first, but after a little while we realized something was wrong and thought she might have had a stroke,” Otto said.

The family took the young girl to CHEO, where doctors told them she had an inoperable brain tumour.

She died two days later.

“There was nothing they could do at all,” Otto said.

“It was in the one spot in her whole body where they could not operate.”

The Ottos have since organized a yearly gala in Maddy’s memory to raise money for Roger’s House, where the girl spent the last few hours of her life.

They blew past their 10year goal of $100,000 in three years and have raised a total of $350,000 for the pediatric hospice that’s located on the grounds at CHEO. “She was only at Roger’s House for five or six hours, but the money we have raised was definitely worth those six hours,” Otto said.

When Maddy died, Otto said she thought she would never be happy again, but she was able to gain strength from the counselling services and bereave-

“Time does heal. I never thought I would smile again. I remember being at those classes and thinking I can’t believe I’m never going to laugh or smile again,” she said.

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

We have been married for the last 25 years but don’t have any children. Do we need a will, or would everything just go to the surviving spouse anyway?

Yes, you do need a will. If you don’t have any children, under the statutory distribution scheme for individuals that die without a will, your spouse would receive your entire estate. However, you should still have a will for at least two reasons: 1. Appointing an executor of your estate; and 2. Making instructions for the distribution of your estate in the event that you’re predeceased by your spouse.

Jeanine Otto

did laugh again.

“It didn’t mean I forgot about Maddy,” she said.

“It just showed me I could get on with my life and return to a new normal.

I wasn’t going to be who I was before but I found a new medium.”

This year’s gala is set to take place at the Delta Ottawa City Centre, 101 Lyon St., on the evening of Feb. 7.

Individual tickets are $150 each and a table for eight people costs $1,200.

“We want to make sure that for any parent who loses a child, that same service will be there,” Otto said.

Maddy would have turned 13 on Jan. 5. Her family and friends go to her grave every year to celebrate her birthday by releasing balloons and singing Happy Birthday. They then go to East Side Mario’s – Maddy’s favourite restaurant – for her birthday dinner.

1. Appointment of an executor of your estate.

The executor named in a will has the legal authority to take possession of all your assets, do your final income tax returns, and deal with banks and government institutions. If you don’t have a will, a court would have to appoint an executor of your estate to deal with any assets that were not jointly owned, as well as any registered investments that did not have a named beneficiary. The process of appointing an executor usually takes few months, so in addition to incurring unnecessary costs, there will be an extended delay during which your spouse will not have access to the assets in your estate. In my experience, some financial institutions will waive a probate requirement if

your spouse is the named executor and the only beneficiary of your estate, which could provide your spouse with ready access to some assets shortly after your death.

2. Distribution of your estate if you survive your spouse.

By having a will in place, you will make sure that your estate is distributed the way you want it to be in the event that your spouse passes away shortly before you, or in the event that you are unable to make a will after your spouse’s death.

Under the statutory distribution scheme, if you don’t have a spouse nor children, your estate would go to your parents.

Alternatively, if your parents are deceased, your estate would go to your siblings. This may not be your wish. For example you might want to leave part of your estate to your spouse’s family, or you may wish to skip your parents and siblings and distribute the estate among your and your spouse’s nieces and nephews, or make gifts to a charity or charities. No matter which option you choose, having a will can provide the peace of mind of knowing that your estate will be distributed according to your wishes.

Region’s Crime Stoppers celebrates anniversary and turnaround Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Crime Stoppers in the National Capital Region has good cause to celebrate.

Not only is January National Crime Stoppers Month, 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the program in the region.

It’s come a long way since 2012-13 when it was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Tips are up almost 20 per cent over 2013, and that means law-enforcement agencies like the Ottawa Police Service, the RCMP, the Ontario Provincial Police and others across the country potentially have more information that could help them solve cases.

“Not only the number of tips has gone up, but the quality of tips over the last year has cer-

tainly increased,” said Richard McMullen, president of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers. “And that results in more information for law enforcement, better resolution.”

Unlike other organizations, Crime Stoppers can’t trumpet its success and reveal if a specific crime was solved in order to protect tipsters’ anonymity “because there is only so many people that will have the information about the robbery or a gun incident,” said National Capital Area Crime Stoppers co-ordinator Sgt. Arthur Wong, who is on secondment to the program from the Ottawa Police Service. “We can’t let that out.”

Statistics for 2014 reveal that tips led to 36 arrests and 150 criminal charges and $2,625 in property and five

firearms were recovered. More than 4,000 calls and web tips were submitted last year as well, representing a 17 per cent increase over 2013.

“Now tipsters are giving us specific information, names and addresses,” McMullen said. “Certainly social media and media exposure has helped. I think the more we can get the message out there, the better.”

First arrest

Crime Stoppers, one of 38 independent Crime Stoppers programs in Ontario, began in the Ottawa region in 1985 thanks to business people in the community coming together to address crime.

Crime Stoppers has been around since 1976, after it was started in Albuquerque, N.M. following the murder of a gas station attendant.

The pillar of the program has remained the same: tipsters remain anonymous.

“There’s a certain element of the public that don’t want to come forward, for whatever reason – maybe for fear of reprisal, maybe they just don’t want to get involved – that apathy,” McMullen said. “The other element, of course too, is that sometimes people don’t want to have to go and testify in court.”

Some people are fearful of

Arthur Wong, co-ordinator of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers, left, and Richard McMullen, president of the crime-solving program, will be helping the organization celebrate its 30th anniversary this year in the region. police, but McMullen said a tipster’s identity has never been revealed. The information submission form on the website is encrypted, and calls are not recorded.

“We don’t subscribe to call display, and we don’t ask for their identity, and they don’t have to testify in

court,” Wong said.

The program serves as an important tool for a number of criminal investigation units within the Ottawa Police Service, such as its robbery unit, which receives dozens of anonymous Crime Stoppers tips every year, which have led to several ar-

rests.

The Crime Stoppers number is always included at the bottom of every media information release put out by the robbery unit in hopes that a member of the public will know something.

Most tipsters don’t claim $2,000 reward: Wong Continued from page 33

“Typically, when we put out one of these releases with an image (of a suspect), we’re trying to put a face to a name,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit.

“If people want to give that name to us by Crime Stoppers, that’s great, and that’s what we encourage people to do if they don’t want to deal with us directly.”

Tips have helped keep neighbourhoods safe and saved police valuable time, McMullen said.

“You can imagine it costs a lot of resources to investigate a crime and sometimes it takes months, weeks, years to fully resolve,” he said. “If they can be pointed in the right direction, they can target those resources and that cost, so ultimately there’s savings to the community, but more importantly, it’s the reduction and resolution when it comes to crime.”

The role of Crime Stoppers has evolved since its inception, as has the nature of the tips that come in.

“Certainly back in 1985 when they began the program, I don’t think anyone envisioned taking tips on terrorist activities or radicalization of

youth,” said McMullen.

An influx of more than 50 tips flooded the tip line in the days after the shootings at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill on Oct. 22, 2014.

Sometimes all it takes is just one tip with enough details that can help investigators begin looking in the right place.

“The first year I came in I think we had two tips that came in for drug information that netted over $1 million,” said Wong. “You never know what comes up.”

Not in it for the cash

The potential to earn a cash reward of up to $2,000 is another hallmark of the program.

When tipsters call or send in a tip through the Crime Stoppers website, they are given a special code, and are asked to call back to learn if their information has led to an arrest, conviction, identification of a suspect or seizure of drugs or guns.

But the majority of tipsters don’t collect their money.

“Whether they don’t care for the money or they lost the code, we don’t know,” Wong said, adding that if people find their code, they can still

call to check in to see if they are eligible for an award.

“Maybe it’s naive, but I think people want to do the right thing,” McMullen said.

Program officials are mindful that some tipsters could purposefully report false information if they are motivated by revenge or hope to lead police in the wrong direction.

“It doesn’t happen very (often),” said McMullen. “It isn’t like going to a judge and getting a warrant. Basically, a lead for an investigator … has to do due diligence and has to conduct an investigation and gather their own evidence.”

There are also a number of checks and balances in place at the program to protect its integrity and prevent the unauthorized dispersal of financial awards, including the monthly board approval for all payouts, board approval for expenses of more than $500, the monthly review of bank statements and an annual audit, McMullen said.

Whether or not the award is collected, officials must ensure there is always enough funding to cover those awards.

And that takes fundraising.

The registered not-forprofit, which has a yearly

operational budget of about $30,000, relies on donations from individuals and businesses.

In 2012-13 the organization was suffering from tough financial times, largely due to a challenging economy, and lackluster fundraising efforts.

“I was kind of taken aback that it wasn’t funded somehow by the public,” said McMullen, who heard about the program’s financial problems and wanted to help, given his business expertise. He began volunteering with the organization in 2012, and after about six months joined its volunteer board of directors.

“We’ve turned the corner on our financial concerns as of 2013,” he said.

Volunteers regularly do community outreach to promote the service and fundraise.

Crime Stoppers volunteers present to various groups and schools, hold information sessions in vulnerable communities, take part in parades in the region and set up information tables in shopping centres, among other initiatives.

To mark National Crime Stoppers Month, there will be information tables at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre on Jan. 16 and at the

Bayshore Shopping Centre on Jan. 19.

O-Train extension should come further, faster: residents Emma Jackson and Alex Robinson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Alta Vista resident Mike Banks spends 45 minutes on the bus every morning to get downtown.

But he’d rather live more cheaply in the suburbs if he could still get to work on time – or even earlier.

“My dream is to move to Riverside South and then commute by train,” Banks said.

If the O-Train were to connect to Bowesville Road just north of Riverside South, he and his young family would move there “in a second,” he said.

That’s exactly what the city is proposing to do, although the extension of what the city now calls the Trillium Line – the north-south O-Train that currently ends at Greenboro station – is still in its infancy, with no timeline worked out and no budget dollars secured.

At a meeting at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre

on Jan. 13 residents got a detailed look at the city’s plans to bring the train further south to Bowesville Road, with a branch to the Ottawa International Airport. The meeting was part of an environmental assessment process that city planners hope to formally wrap up by December of this year.

After that, it’s not clear how long it will take to put the plan into action; it has, however, been approved as part of the 2013 transportation master plan.

The extension is part of the city’s larger transit extension project it calls Stage 2, which includes the east-west Confederation Line through the downtown. Stage 2 will eventually add 35 kilometres of new rail to the city’s network and 19 new stations.

Several of those will be located along the Trillium Line, beginning with a new station at Gladstone Ave between Bayview and Carling stations and another at Walkley Road along the Transitway.

The city is considering putting the Gladstone Avenue station in three different locations, which are to the north, south and a central spot on the avenue.

The city has determined the northern location is its preferred option. It would allow for the integration of a plaza for the station into potential development occurring on a parcel of land north of the proposed station, city planners said.

The new station could spur future development, which could in turn serve as a catalyst for further transportation infrastructure, said Colin Simpson, a senior transportation planner for the city.

“It’s symbiotic, for sure,” he said. “Rail definitely has a lot more activeness than a bus facility in terms of its economic uplift. Bus routes change, but rail tracks are pretty permanent. So when developers start to see rail stations, that attracts investment.”

Residents who attended a meeting in Little Italy to dis-

Walkley Road resident Will Rose learns about the city’s proposed O-Train extension plans at an open house in the Jim Durrell arena on Jan. 13. cuss the Trillium line expansion on Jan. 15. welcomed the plan to build a Gladstone station.

“It would be a great asset to the community,” said Murray Soicher, a resident of Little Italy. “I was disappointed it

wasn’t in the earlier extension plans.”

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it.

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

a legacy gift in your Will is a great way “ Leaving to give back to the community without having to compromise your time. ”

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

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

In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignificant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

Extension ‘affordable interim plan’ for electric rail: Simpson Continued from page 37

Paul Robinson, who lives right by the rail line on Young Street, said the new station will potentially make getting around the city much easier for him, but he did have concerns the station could potentially cause overdevelopment. “This is going to be a good thing for me if it pops up as it will be significant for my property value,� he said. “But I am concerned it might bring more pressures to the community by bringing in more condos.�

Further south, a new South Keys station would become a bustling transit hub with commuters transferring to catch airport-bound trains or to go downtown.

South of there, stations would be added at Leitrim Road and Bowesville, with an airport branch peeling

off between South Keys and Leitrim to create stations at the EY Centre and the airport’s busy passenger terminal.

All of the work would leave room for future conversion to twin-track electric rail sometime after 2031. The Trillium line currently uses diesel trains.

Simpson said the extension is an “affordable interim plan� that will provide more transit options for riders while the city works toward its ultimate transit network goals that would take light rail into Barrhaven and Riverside South, as well as further east and west. He said the extension on the table now will accommodate ridership demands until about 2031.

Some residents want to see it not only faster, but further: Walkley resident Will Rose said he can’t fathom why

city planners would stop just short of Riverside South. “I want to know why they’re going to end the train at Bowesville in a farmer’s field,� Rose said. He speculated that south-end drivers won’t stop at the planned 2,500-spot park and ride to catch a train when they could just continue up Limebank Road in their cars.

Peter Steacy with the MMM Group leading the environmental assessment said the decision to stop short is largely due to technology.

The city’s Official Plan requires diesel trains to be grade separated at road crossings, he said, but not for electric light rail.

Once the city converts entirely to electric tracks, they can bring the system into the suburbs.

Riverside South to play pond hockey for Manotick man Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

When Riverside South residents come together, anything can happen.

Dozens of adults and children will soon lace up their skates to play hockey at the Spratt Park outdoor rink, and at the same time generate much-needed funds for Manotick resident Ryan Boutilier in his road to recovery from a traumatic brain injury.

The Riverside South Community Association will be hosting its annual Pond Hockey Tournaments, including a two-day event for adults, ages 19 and up, on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, and a one-day tourney for children, ages seven to 12, on Feb. 7.

Many people in Riverside South know Boutilier, so helping him seemed the right thing to do, said association president Chris Hill.

“A lot of people know him and a lot of people know his story,” he said. “Our philosophy on these types of things

is if there are things that are worthwhile supporting and if someone wants to put the time and energy into developing the event around it, then the association supports it.”

“It may not be a family from Riverside South, but we still consider it a local family,” said Celena Mcdonald, the association’s secretary.

The community’s willingness to come together to help with Boutilier’s rehabilitation costs brought tears to his mother Nancy’s eyes.

Her son had just graduated with his master’s degree in integrated biology from the University of Guelph and had been working in construction for five weeks while he explored other career options when the accident happened.

From the outset, his prognosis was very bleak after he fell two storeys at a west end construction site in May 2013 and landed on his head on a concrete floor.

He has had a number of surgeries, suffered an untreatable deep brain bleed and blood

clots, one of which went to his brain, and he lived for more than a year without half of his skull until he underwent reconstructive skull surgery last year. That curbed his splitting headaches and allowed him to regain the use of his arm and hand.

The 32-year-old has surpassed his doctors’ expectations, and has made positive inroads in redeveloping his speech thanks to his ongoing work with a speech therapist.

But Boutilier, who lives with his fiancée in Manotick, suffers from seizures and is still unable to work.

An online You Caring fundraising campaign has generated more than $18,000 towards the family’s $40,000 goal to pay for Boutilier to attend Dalhousie University’s InteRACT adult aphasia treatment program in July to help him regain his speech.

“It’ll bring him back the language and then he won’t be so frustrated, and we’re hoping, you know, someday that he’ll be able to work,” said

All funny business for Orléans author Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Author Dick BourgeoisDoyle didn’t intend to write a book when he started to study humour.

“I was trying to study humour writing techniques and style,” said Bourgeois-Doyle, who was reviewing books that have won Canada’s Leacock Medal for Humour. “But I ended up having this adventure tracking down the books and the authors.”

As his studies connected him with authors all over Canada – and books sometimes decades old – he asked himself what made each of these stories funny.

The book, entitled What’s So Funny? Lessons from Canada’s Leacock Medal for Humour Writing, features a short chapter on each of roughly 80 books and essays that examines what makes each particular story humourous.

While Bourgeois-Doyle looked for specific techniques or styles that made stories more comedic, he said the true source of funny ended up being within the reader.

He said over the two-anda-half years he spent on the book, he learned that humour is best when it touches on the reader’s bias or a memory.

Each chapter starts with a personal story that resonates with his own experiences and stands out for him.

“It’s a little self-indulgent,” he said. “But I was trying to intimate that idea that humour was so personal.”

While the book is suitable

for non-writers and comedy fans, it also has writing exercises and examines specific techniques for humour writers.

“I actually got rolling when I stopped trying to be a pretentious expert on humour writing, but adopted the persona of what I was: a student,” Bourgeois-Doyle said.

It was a part-time project for the Orléans resident, who works full-time for the National Research Council.

He was excited when praise started to roll in from a variety of Canadian authors, especially some who had their work reviewed in his book.

“Bourgeois-Doyle informs, educates, and entertains: he makes learning about our country’s literature and ourselves a treat,” wrote Cassie Stocks, the 2013 winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour, in the reviews.

The book was published

by Renfew-based General Store Publishing House, and will launch on Saturday, Jan. 24, at the annual Ottawa Comedy Night for Parkinson’s at Tudor Hall, located at 3750 North Bowesville Rd. in south Ottawa.

FUNDRAISER

The upcoming comedy evening, which will benefit programs offered through Parkinson Society Eastern Ontario, started years ago during an NHL hockey lockout, and raises about $20,000 every year.

“We change up the show

Orléans resident Dick Bourgeois-Doyle holds a copy of his newly published book entitled ‘What’s So Funny?

Lessons from Canada’s Leacock Medal for Humour Writing.’ Bourgeois-Doyle will launch his book at an annual fundraiser, the Ottawa Comedy Night for Parkinson’s at Tudor Hall on Jan. 24. with different comedians every year,” said Alan Muir, the society’s manger of resource development.

This year, the event, which takes place from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., will feature the talents of comedians Alex Nussbaum and Rob Pue. Muir said he’s very pleased Bourgeois-Doyle approached them to set up his book launch because it’s a perfect fit for the comedy evening.

Bourgeois-Doyle and his family have attended the event several times, and he knew it would be an excellent opportunity to launch his book in front of a large crowd.

He’s said he’s very thankful to the Parkinson’s Society for giving him the opportunity, and will donate the full $20 purchase price of any books sold that night to the organization.

Muir expects about 500 people to attend the comedy and live-music showcase.

Tickets are available online at parkinsons.ca/en/comedynight, or by calling the society’s office at 613-722-9238.

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM DUNCAN

As the concept of family evolves in our community, so does the definition of a foster parent. Foster parents come from a variety of different backgrounds that reflect the diversity of the children who need our care.

One thing we know from talking to foster parents is that most people become foster parents after hearing first hand of another foster parent's experience. It's a great message, and shows how rewarding fostering can be for parents and children alike.

“Fostering has enriched us and our children in ways we could not imagine it would,” says one couple who have been fostering for 15 years.

“It's the greatest thing we have ever done as a whole family,” adds another family, who have biological children as well. “If you are a person on this earth, you can do it! It's not about us; it's about the children we can help. I wish everyone could foster for one year so that children in need would never have to look for a family.”

For information about foster care, please contact the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa at 613-742-1620 ext. 1 or visit www.casott.on.ca.

Four people charged after suspected apartment takeover Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Seven people have been arrested following the suspected takeover late last week of a unit at an Albion Road highrise apartment building, a case that is now being led by the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit.

Tactical, canine and patrol officers and emergency responders, including tactical paramedics, were called to a 14-storey building at 2975 Albion Rd. N. after Response Security, a private security company that monitors the building, called on Jan. 16 around 8:50 a.m. with concerns about the occupants of a unit.

For about two and a half hours, numerous marked and unmarked police cruisers and paramedic vehicles, including two ambulances, swarmed a section of Albion Road between Heatherington Road and Lilibet Crescent, which was closed to traffic until just before noon.

Inside the building, police negotiated over the phone to

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Ottawa police officers emerge from the Oaks, an apartment building at 2975 Albion Rd. N. after seven people were arrested following the suspected takeover of a unit in the building on Jan. 16. Ottawa police guns and gangs investigators are leading the case. urge those in the unit to come out and surrender, said Const.

Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman. “They were all arrested at the same time, one by one as they exited the apartment,�

Benoit said.

Those arrested were brought outside the complex starting

around 11 a.m.

All seven are known to the police guns and gangs unit, Benoit confirmed.

Four of those apprehended at the scene are facing charges, the details of which have not yet been released by police.

An eighth person, a male victim who police confirm was

the sole resident of the apartment unit at the time of the incident, was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening head injuries and transported to hospital, said J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman, but he would not elaborate on those injuries due to the ongoing police investigation.

No officers were injured in the incident.

Initial indications were that “someone may have been in their apartment and not allowed to leave,� Ottawa police Insp. John McGetrick said at the scene.

He declined to say whether weapons were involved.

McGetrick also would not characterize the incident as a hostage taking or a home invasion, and would only say that “the apartment may have been taken over, but it’s much too early to comment until more investigating is done and we get a few more facts that come forward.�

While he declined to disclose which floor of the apartment building the incident took place to protect the identity of residents, he said the affected floor was evacuated – a standard police practice.

Benoit confirmed the initial emergency call came in as a disturbance report about “unwanted� people inside the apartment unit who were refusing to leave.

While Ottawa police east district investigators were initially tapped to lead the case, by late Friday afternoon it was announced the police guns and gangs unit would be handling the investigation “just because of people that are involved,� said Benoit, adding the unit took over because of why the suspects were in the apartment, which he declined to disclose.

More charges are likely forthcoming as officers continue to work on the complex case. “This whole investigation is more than just you got caught doing something and now you’re being charged with this,� Benoit said.

The massive police response to the building was standard police protocol in keeping with the nature of the initial emergency call, said McGetrick. “When we get information of this nature we don’t take any chances,� he said. “And that’s for everyone’s safety – the safety of everyone involved, the public and those we’re dealing with.�

Drug investigation nets one arrest, bullets, drugs Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The arrest of an Ottawa man who police say is known to guns and gangs officers has taken a bite out of the city’s gang problem, according to investigators.

“It’s obviously a small bite, but I would definitely consider it is for one individual who is known to the guns and gangs unit,” said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, head of the Ottawa police drug unit.

Following a week-long investigation, drug and tactical officers issued a warrant in the 1-100 block of Patola Pvt., near Albion Road South and Cahill Drive in South Keys, late in the afternoon on Jan. 14, netting 50 rounds of 9-mm ammunition, seven grams of cocaine valued at $700 and 0.7 grams of marijuana.

“It’s part of the whole targeted enforcement we’re doing with the whole guns and gangs problem … so we’re

looking at getting on a few of their guys in that world,” McDonell said.

His unit recently deployed five of its 18 investigators to assist the police guns and gangs unit, which has been temporarily bolstered to better tackle a rash of shootings that have plagued the city in recent months. There were 49 shootings in Ottawa last year, 85 per cent of which police believe are gang-related.

“It’s like bacon and eggs – drugs and gangs.”

Acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, Ottawa police drug unit

“The guns and the drugs – they’re all the same world,” McDonell said. “It’s like bacon and eggs – drugs and gangs.

“By our guys going over there for now, we can help them out a little bit more

File

Ottawa police drug unit and tactical officers allegedly seized 50 rounds of ammunition and quantities of cocaine and marijuana and arrested an Ottawa man in South Keys on Jan. 14. with the whole drug angle.

We’re lending our expertise,” he said. “If we can pop over a few of our guys to help them out and give them a double barrel extra piece

(of manpower and expertise) for a little while – that’s sort of the theory behind lending

the officers over there.”

How long his investigators will be temporarily reas-

signed to the guns and gangs unit is unknown at this point, McDonell said.

While the recent South Keys raid did not turn up a weapon, McDonell was encouraged by the seizure of ammunition.

“That’s 50 bullets that won’t be loading somebody else’s gun or his, so in those terms we’re pretty satisfied with it,” he said, declining to speculate on whom the bullets were to be used by.

A 24-year-old Ottawa man is facing charges of possession of prohibited ammunition, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a controlled substance, two counts of breach of probation and two counts of breach of recognizance.

He was released following a show-cause hearing on Jan. 15, but was expected to appear again in court at a later date.

Ottawa families walk together to fight dementia Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

When Cedarhill resident Sheila Castledine realized her brother’s wedding in Florida was on the same weekend as this year’s Alzheimer Society Walk for Memories in Ottawa, she didn’t want to miss out on either.

“I just really didn’t want to give it up this year,” she said.

Castledine’s family has participated in the walk the last two years. She first reached out to the Alzheimer Society a few years ago, after her mother, Estelle “Tootsie” Tierney, was diagnosed with dementia.

In addition to proving a valuable resource of information for Casteldine and her family, the Alzheimer Society’s annual walk has given them a way to give back to the community by raising money for local families living with dementia.

So when the conflict arose, she simply decided to do the walk in Florida instead.

“We’re going to go down there and do a 10-kilometre

Submitted

The ‘Mum’s the Word’ team will once again participate in the annual Alzheimer Society Walk for Memories, which takes place at the Carleton University Fieldhouse on Jan. 25. walk the day after the wedding,” she said.

Her fundraising group, called Tootsie’s Team, is made up of roughly 35 friends and family members. Half of the team will be walking in Florida and half will be in Ottawa. The team has raised more than $13,000 over the last two years and hopes to raise $10,000 this year.

The group walking in Florida is going to try to start their

walk at the same time as those in Ottawa, where more than 70 teams and 600 walkers are expected to participate in the event at the Carleton University Fieldhouse on Jan. 25.

Among them will be Kat Clarida, a Centretown resident whose mother struggled with dementia before she died three years ago.

Clarida said she first started noticing signs of dementia in

her mother, Thelma, when she started leaving notes to remind herself about things.

“I found notes all over the place about all kinds of things, from daily self care to cooking to everything,” she said. “It became really clear one day when I found a note and her writing was all gibberish. It was just letters on a paper.”

Clarida said her mother, who had been a registered nurse and

mother of eight, was not a big list-maker previously, but it was a coping mechanism for her, as she was aware her mind was slipping.

The Walk for Memories has given Clarida’s family an opportunity to come together and remember her mother. It has also given them a venue to meet other people going through the same circumstances.

“There is a great sense of community there because everybody is dealing with the same thing,” she said.

Clarida’s family has been deeply affected by dementia, as her stepdaughter’s mother was also diagnosed with the illness in her early 50s.

“The disease took her away her words and her ability to recognize people first, and these were her strongest traits,” said her stepdaughter, Erica Ryan.

Ryan’s mother, Josephine, first started to notice something was wrong when she was having trouble remembering words for simple objects like keys or apples. She had been a social worker, but lost her job shortly

after her diagnosis.

The family soon decided Josephine could no longer live alone and had her move into a duplex with Ryan’s older siblings. She would be close to them if she needed them, but still had her own kitchen and independence.

“She made sacrifices for us growing up so we do the same for her,” Ryan said.

As her condition worsened, the family made the decision to move Josephine into St. Patrick’s Home, so that she would have people around her at all times.

The family makes up a team called Mum’s the Word, which hopes to raise $1,000 during the walk.

Clarida hopes events like the Walk for Memories will help in the push for a national strategy to tackle the malady.

“We have to find out what’s going on and figure out the best way to give people quality of life in their last years,” she said of those dealing with dementia.

“The institutional system isn’t working.”

Eight councillors issue appeal in hospital fundraising campaign

Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

City councillors from eight wards have asked constituents to donate $30 per household to help raise $1.5 million for a new elderly care unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

The provincial government has already pledged $8.8 million in funding for the project, but the hospital needs an additional $3 million.

Councillors are hoping donations will make up a large chunk of $1.5 million

by December 2015.

Coun. Rick Chiarelli, whose ward includes the hospital, said councillors

also plan to devote a portion of funds the city receives from developers when they want to rezone lots in the surrounding communities.

“It makes sense because if you bring in a bunch of new people to the area, they require hospital service.”

CollegE Ward Coun. Rick ChiarellI

Under the province’s Planning Act, the city gets community benefits from developers in return for the permission to build above the permitted height or density in certain neighborhoods.

Chiarelli said these community benefits could come in the form of funding for the hospital’s new project.

“It makes sense because “That was way to easy!”

if you bring in a bunch of new people to the area, they require hospital service,” Chiarelli said.

The hospital has also launched its own fundraising campaign to bring in the remaining funds needed.

Ontario’s population of seniors aged 65 and older is expected to double over the next 20 years. The new acute care of the elderly unit will have 34 beds, a communal dining area and will offer comprehensive geriatric care for the city’s aging population.

The unit will focus on older patients with a number of health conditions and will provide services to help them remain mobile and independent.

Once built, it will be the first of its kind in Ottawa and only the second in Ontario.

The hospital is hoping to have amassed all the funding it needs by next year, Chiarelli said.

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings?

South end councillors seek truck traffic stats Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Osgoode Coun. George Darouze and two other southend councillors are hoping to clarify the truck traffic situation in their region with a bit more data from city staff.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt and Gloucester South-Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish joined Darouze in asking city staff to provide updated numbers on truck traffic in all three wards.

“We asked staff for ... a small-scale study, some numbers and stats so we know what we’re dealing with,” Darouze said. “The (Vimy Memorial) Bridge has just opened up so we really don’t know the dynamics and where the traffic’s going.”

Residents, particularly those from the village of Manotick, have been demanding to see changes to the city’s truck routes in the south end to make better use of the new bridge, which opened in July

File

Three Ottawa city councillors have requested that staff provide updated figures on truck traffic in three south-end wards, including Rideau-Goulbourn, Gloucester-South Nepean and Osgoode. between Riverside South and Barrhaven after several years of delays.

While the numbers of vehicles using Bridge Street in Manotick have dropped since

the new span opened, residents want to see the Vimy and Hunt Club bridges pulling even more weight.

A video to that effect has been circulating on social

media, citing city numbers that showed 82 heavy trucks per lane per day crossed the new bridge during an October traffic count. In contrast, 399 trucks per lane per day crossed

the Manotick bridge.

Moffatt said those numbers are skewed by the fact that the Vimy and Hunt Club bridges have twice the number of lanes as Manotick.

But residents continue to clamour for added truck route connections that would make it easier for truck drivers to access the new bridge.

While the Vimy bridge itself is designated for trucks, right now only Leitrim and Mitch Owens roads are designated for full truck loads, and Rideau and River roads are restricted truck routes.

Darouze said once he has more information about where trucks and cars are going in the region, he can then take that information back to the community to look for solutions.

“We need to use the proactive approach rather than wait till it’s a bigger issue than it is,” he said.

Moffatt signed his name to the email Darouze sent to traffic services manager Phil Landry, and said any changes that are made will have to finely balance the needs of Osgoode and Rideau-Goulbourn residents.

Study discussion needed ahead of budget: Moffatt Continued from page 51

“We’re looking to change volumes on our side of the river (in Manotick) and it makes it difficult because you could be asking another ward to be taking some more vehicles to benefit a different ward,” he said. “You have to weigh the pros and cons.”

He added that there are “only so many options” – and staff have to take into account where trucks need to go, as well.

That said, Moffatt agreed with Darouze that the southern wards can’t wait for a far-off city-wide truck study to find solutions.

“The Hunt Club exten-

sion out to Highway 417, that should have an impact on the south end (and) we know the Vimy Memorial Bridge has

“We’re looking to change volumes on our side of the river (in Manotick).”

Coun. Scott Moffatt

changed some patterns,” he said.

“So has that created any changes in the traffic patterns for trucks? Are we getting full optimization? Are there roads that could be upgraded to truck

routes now in their current state?”

At this point Moffatt said there’s no indication of what a regional study might cost; a city-wide study has been estimated at about $500,000, so he said it would likely be less than that.

Moffatt said “now is the time” to start a conversation about finding money for a south-end study, with budget discussions set to start next month.

“We’re waiting to hear back about what it means, what the process is, what it would cost,” he said.

Qaqish, who represents the ward in which the new bridge is located, could not be reached
