Power outage in south Kanata Some customers without electricity for 12 hours Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Hydro Ottawa scrambled to return power to more than 800 customers in south Kanata after an outage that started in the early morning of Jan. 26.

The power was out for as long as 12 hours, said some residents, with a second round of shorter outages in the after-

noon.

Electricity was restored to all residents by 4:13 p.m., said Hydro Ottawa, after crews repaired an underground cable in someone’s back yard, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

Hydro Ottawa reported 871 customers in Glen Cairn and Bridlewood were without power, starting at 12:15 a.m., though Hubley said he first got reports of outages at 11 p.m. on Jan. 25.

After dispatching crews to investigate, Hydro Ottawa found two issues were to blame for the outage – a prob-

lem with switching equipment at their Bridlewood substation on Eagleson Road, and a nearby underground cable fault, said the company’s media and public affairs manager, Daniel Séguin.

Work on the cable was slowed because it was located in someone’s back yard, said Hubley.

“At night, (Hydro Ottawa) can’t go roaming around the backyards looking for where the broken cable is,” he said.

“They had to wait for the sun to come up.”

Hydro Ottawa did not confirm the location of the broken cable as of press time, but said the only access issues they had were due to frozen gates.

Temperatures as low as -24 C and frost bite warnings also hindered repair work, said Séguin, adding that “Crews had to excavate around transformer boxes to expose and repair the damaged cable.”

The cold was a worry for some residents with young children and medical conditions, as some saw temperatures in their houses reach as low as 11 C. See TEMPERATURES, page 7

While the Nepean Chamber of Commerce and the West Ottawa Board of Trade held their first event as one entity, there is still a lot of logistical work left to be done to fully integrate the two groups.

The new umbrella organization, which took the name of the West Ottawa Board of Trade, held its first chamber breakfast on Jan. 22. In December, members from the two chambers voted unanimously in favour of amalgamation, which came into effect on Jan. 1.

Now that the two organizations are officially one, The

board’s executive director Rosemary Leu has the task of combining their operations.

“We’ve made great strides and tremendous headway in that, but there are still a lot of i’s to dot and t’s to cross,” said Greg Weatherdon, the chair of the board’s newly formed executive committee.

While a lot of the leg work to combine the two groups was done in the lead up to amalgamation, there are still a number of things left to be done, including combining the two websites and bringing the two staffs under one roof.

“We have two of everything just about,” Leu said.

Leu and her team have been working long hours on

the logistics of amalgamation.

The lone staff member of the Nepean chamber has joined the West Ottawa staff of three and the Nepean office is due to close shortly, Leu said.

The West Ottawa Board of Trade now represents around 600 businesses in Nepean, Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton and covers an area that includes nine different wards.

The biggest challenge with amalgamation going forward for Leu is to make sure members in all neighborhoods get proper representation in the organization.

See ORGANIZATION, page 3

Organization brings together Nepean and Kanata chambers “It’ll be like putting together a puzzle,” Leu said.

“Our membership is diverse and spread out across the region. We can’t do everything for everyone, but we have to make sure that our members come first and that we’re providing value to all of them.

“If you look at West Ottawa, we have specific neighborhoods with their own identities within that umbrella.

“We want to make sure to have regional representation on relevant committees.”

The region’s businesses used to have a joint NepeanKanata Chamber of Commerce in the 1980s until the Kanata Chamber of Commerce split from the organization in 1991. The Kanata

chamber eventually grew to include the areas of Goulbourn and West Carleton and became the West Ottawa Board of Trade.

The Nepean chamber and the West Ottawa Board of Trade, hoping a larger organization would give the body

a stronger voice, started the process to join about a year and a half ago.

“It’s now kind of come full circle,” Leu said. “Having gone through a separation we managed to bring these two great organizations back together.”

Energy East pipeline meeting draws large crowd to Brookstreet Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Hundreds of Ottawa area residents filled the Brookstreet Hotel’s ballroom in Kanata to hear experts assess TransCanada Corp.’s application for its Energy East pipeline, and to voice their feelings on the project.

With 350 people in attendance on Jan. 22, the largest crowd the second phase of community meetings has seen, many in the crowd voiced an overwhelming “no” to the project, with others stating their concerns over the consequences of spills and the project’s impact on climate change, and questioning whether Canada needs the pipeline.

The meeting was part of the Ontario Energy Board’s consultation process, kick-started by Ontario Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli in 2013.

TransCanada’s application for the pipeline, a record-setting 30,000 pages in length, is before the National Energy Board.

THE PIPELINE

TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline proposal, estimated to cost $12 billion, plans to convert about 3,000 kilometres of natural gas pipeline as well as create 1,600 kilometres of new pipeline, to transport crude oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick.

More than 2,000 kilometres worth of pipeline would run through Ontario, more than any other province.

In the Ottawa area, the pipeline

would run through Pembroke and Renfrew, cut south east through Stittsville, cross the Rideau River south of Kars and north of Kemptville and then follow the St. Lawrence River east.

It would then cut north and cross the Ottawa River near Lachute, Que. Half of the community consultation, which took place on Jan. 22, was spent on presentations by Peter Fraser, vice president of the Ontario Energy Board, and Jake Abes and Dean Mutrie from DNV GL., a technical advisor on the oil and gas industry, who focused on reviewing TransCanada’s application.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

TransCanada’s application with regards to environmental impact was incomplete, despite its 30,000 page length, said Mutrie.

He said it was missing information on potential impacts on drinking water, numerous technical data reports, and included no consideration for rerouting the pipeline to reduce potential impacts on waterways and other important areas.

Though TransCanada had committed to providing this information by the end of 2014, the company has now committed to providing it in 2015, according to the Ontario Energy Board’s report.

The pipeline’s route across the Rideau River, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site, was of particular concern to some residents, including farmer Doug McKay who lives in Kars near the proposed crossing.

Mutrie said TransCanada’s plan

The application also mentioned the Rideau River’s lock system would be helpful in keeping any spilled crude oil from reaching farther down the river.

This prompted McKay to question whether TransCanada was now employing Parks Canada lock workers who would supposedly be part of the disaster response.

“The consequences of a spill, especially in our area with the river crossing, could be quite catastroph-

PIPELINE SAFETY

OC Transpo will be present to provide information on these routes, to detail problems that have been identified and how they are dealing with them, and to respond to your questions and suggestions. I’ll also let you know about my experience in taking the 64 and other routes. Please attend to improve your commutes.

CROSSING THE 417!

The newly restored bridge that connects March Road to Eagleson Road across the 417 has one flaw – the sidewalk, which didn’t end up being a sidewalk but a raised curb with a drainage channel cut across it. It is narrower than the minimum sidewalk width and inaccessible to wheelchairs, strollers or sidewalk plows due to the height of the curb. City staff said they couldn’t clear snow and deemed it unsafe for pedestrians this winter.

I attended all public meetings on the design of the work on the 417 and met with Ministry officials. At all times a sidewalk on the west side was included – and it is on the design plans. I have been in contact with City staff and Ministry staff to 1) get the ‘raised curb’ modified to be the promised sidewalk, 2) get the City to clear heavy snowfalls this winter, and 3) get the City to move construction of full sidewalks to the bridge from both north and south in 2015. A full meeting of all involved is planned for Jan. 27th (after this article was written). I will report next week on how these three issues will be resolved. In the meantime, most of the snow has been removed from the raised curb, so, if you do have to cross the bridge, be extremely careful.

2015 CITY BUDGET

The budget is being tabled next Wednesday. We will have little flexibility to add new items this year, but, if savings can be found, then some urgent items may be able to be included. I welcome ideas on how to save money or increase revenues so we can keep the tax increase down and provide the services needed in the community. I’ve met with the Mayor and senior staff to discuss issues in the Ward – including the sidewalk to the 417, the raised bike lane on Campeau and the need to cut the weeds in the hydro corridor through Morgan’s Grant. Please continue to post your budget ideas at budget2015@ottawa.ca or use hash tag #ottbudget on Twitter. Please send me a copy of your suggestions so I help to get them accepted.

KLONDIKE ROAD reconstruction from March to Sandhill, including a multiuse path on the south side, will be underway this year.

DID YOU KNOW? That Morgan’s Grant was added to the urban

area as an Energy Conserving Community, and the first homes built still benefit from how they were constructed. My next story about Kanata is on the origins of Morgan’s Grant as an urban community. Send me your story about Kanata – one I’ve received is about a house and the unique items that were ‘tested’ in it. All will be part of our Kanata Collection and can include your name or, if you wish, be anonymous.

Converting the existing pipeline to carry oil shouldn’t pose a problem, said DNV GL’s second presenter, Jake Abe, as the integrity requirements for a natural gas pipeline is greater than for a crude oil pipeline.

The weld seams of the existing pipeline are also of a high standard, while the majority of the casing of the existing pipeline is also very good, he said.

However, five per cent of the existing pipeline is coated with a type of tape prone to allowing water and other elements to corrode the pipe. Those areas are the most concerning, he said, located at the Ignace, Martin, Nipigon and Jellicoe sections of the pipeline in Ontario.

TransCanada has committed to using a 24/7 leak-detection system that could remotely close the pipe’s valves 22 minutes after the first detection of a leak, said Abes.

That speed was questioned

by Andrea Harden-Donahue, an energy and climate justice campaigner with the Council of Canadians who was in the audience.

“I think part of the problem is the reports that we’ve seen come out of the OEB were based on TransCanada’s application,” she said. “What we like to talk about is TransCanada’s track record in Canada.”

Referring to TransCanada reports of pipeline ruptures over the last few decades, HardenDonahue said of the eight that she researched, “response time in terms of shutting down the gas supply ranged from 10 minutes to two-and-a-half hours to six hours in one case.

“We feel when you are examining the risks of this proposal, you really need to not just look at what is being promised, but look at (TransCanada’s) track record.

Adam Kveton/Metroland

A man asks a question of the Ontario Energy Board’s three experts who reviewed TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline proposal on Jan. 22.

CLIMATE CHANGE

As for how the project might affect climate change, Fraser, vice president of the Ontario Energy Board, referred to an independent company’s report which showed minimal impact in Ontario and a “modest” increase in carbon dioxide emissions in the rest of Canada, due to oil sands extraction and refining in Quebec and New Brunswick.

The pipeline would have the greatest effect on climate change elsewhere in the world as the oil is consumed, said the report. But the increase in emissions would be offset by a decrease in oil production in other countries in response to the pipeline, said Fraser.

Many attendees at the meeting voiced their disbelief, asking that another report by a different company be made.

Ontario Energy Board representatives then asked the crowd for advice on what concerns and opinions to bring to Chiarelli.

The opinions ranged from concerns over spill response as well as questions over just how toxic the type of crude oil running through the pipeline would be.

Many attendees asked for a new climate change assessment, while others demanded that the

review process be slowed down so that communities could comment once TransCanada has produced their full application.

Many others asked that Chiarelli oppose the pipeline outright and instead push for the development of alternative clean energy sources.

Though some in the crowd acknowledged that they were for the extraction of oil sands, many more voiced opposition.

Ottawa South Member of Provincial Parliament John Fraser who attended the meeting said he is not yet convinced that the pipeline could guarantee a sufficient level of public safety especially in the long-term.

“If you listen here and there, people are concerned about where they live, they are concerned about the water, concerned about the Rideau River,” he said. “I think we also realize we have an obligation to look farther than what the ‘right now’ is and ensure the long-term safety of what’s being proposed in our community.”

Tommy Wall, an 18-year-old West Carleton resident, is one of those people who would be dealing with the pipeline in the long-term, living on 144 acres of land just a few minutes from the proposed pipeline, said Fraser.

Wall said, “I’d really like to

keep (my land) clean and oilfree.

“I’m against the pipeline …

I would like to see alternative energy sources being used.”

Wall said he was encouraged by the Ontario Energy Board’s process, allowing people like him to get educated on the pipeline and voice their beliefs.

McKay, the farmer from Kars, agreed the process was a good one, but said he is unsure what kind of effect it will ultimately have on the National Energy Board.

“Could Ontario be a showstopper?” he said. “If (Ontarians) disagree, is the pipeline going to stop?”

Public meetings continue, with an Ontario Energy Board stakeholder forum taking place on Jan. 29 and 30. The forum, which will allow stakeholders province-wide to make presentations, will be open to the public. For more information, go to ontarioenergyboard.ca/ html/oebenergyeast.

It takes 15 months for the National Energy Board to rule on an application, said Fraser, after the board has concluded that the application is complete.

Fraser said that time frame would be ambitious when it comes to ruling on this project.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for Sale

Ottawa - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

Hat in hand is no plan

A

fter nearly two years, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to understand how Premier Kathleen Wynne intends to reinvigorate this moribund province.

She assumed office on Feb. 11, 2013 and won re-election on June 12, 2014 in the Ontario general election. During that time, the province has seen marginal improvement in such indices of well-being like the unemployment rate, but so has the rest of the country. Marginal improvement isn’t really the reason voters handed Wynne and her party a majority though, is it?

It’s not as though the provincial government has been idle. It has banned smoking in parks across the province, it has tightened regulations on child care and given those working in the industry a raise, it has boosted the minimum wage and has pledged to conduct a thorough review of the Beer Store monopoly.

For the most part, these efforts fall short of moving Ontario away from its current have-not status in Canada. Ontario still has a significant budget deficit,

and with the recent economic headwinds stirred up by the falling price of oil, the prospect of growing the economy out of its present hole are dim in the short term.

Yes, Ontarians are paying less at the pump, but that may be short lived as Wynne has mused about introducing a carbon tax. Those savings on gas are also offset by a falling dollar (raising the price of imports) and the skyrocketing price of electricity (projected to climb by 42 per cent from 2013-18).

This brings us to Wynne’s speech at the Canada 2020 lunch last week. During her talk, she raised the idea of a nationwide infrastructure partnership, calling on the federal government to take the lead by significantly boosting spending on things like bridges, highways and mass transit systems.

These things might very well lead to increased economic growth, but is that the best Wynne can do?

Does her best plan to get Ontario’s house in order simply involve asking others for money?

Ontario needs to get its act together, starting with better ideas from the person charged with leading us.

Sometimes it’s not bad to be sleepy

A

while ago, an American newspaper did an article in which it said the main hope for excitement in the sleepy ByWard Market was that a wine store had opened.

Predictably, everybody here got excited about the story, rising to the defence of the market and the nonsleepiness of Ottawa. That was civicminded of everybody, but there is a serious question about whether being non-sleepy is something to aspire to.

Be careful what you wish for, is the old saying. What happens when our city becomes exciting is not always all that wonderful. Like the shootings on and around Parliament Hill last fall. Ottawa was at the top of page one all around the world, led all the newscasts. A little of that goes a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town long way.

Similarly, last week there was the episode at a local hotel involving hazardous chemicals and the arrest of a man from Nova Scotia. Back to the top of page one we go, back to the lead on the newscasts. Didn’t it make you a bit nostalgic for the days when we were dullsville on the Rideau, or whatever it was we were called?

This is not the only city with aspirations to be a bit more edgy.

Torontonians used to chafe at all

those articles about how safe and clean their city was, as if somehow it wasn’t a real city until it had real city dirt, real city gridlock and real city crime. Well, now it has at least some of that, even if the crime rate doesn’t begin to approach that of major American cities.

Toronto is edgier now, less sleepy, and guess what? People don’t like it all that much.

Ottawa is starting to get some shootings too, linked to gangs. That’s not dullsville. A few more and the outside world will begin to take notice. Is that what we want?

Wouldn’t we be happier with more traditional Ottawa-style headlines, such as “City to hold public consultation on micro-retailers on Wednesday� and “Ottawa River pollution 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

levels decline�? Headlines like that are signs of a city trying, in a rather dull way, to get better without alarming anybody.

For a bit of harmless excitement, we might allow ourselves headlines such as “Senators extend win streak� and “Canal re-opens for skating.�

An unsleepiness level much above that might be, well, hazardous.

Some day the virtues of sleepiness will be recognized worldwide. When that happens, it would be only proper if the headline over that story recognizes Ottawa as global leader. Cited might be our city’s achievement in protecting corner stores, limiting disease to trees and educating its population to separate recyclables. And mention might be made of the city’s continuing tradition of avoiding being visited by crews from CNN. By the way, a testament to our sleepiness is the fact that police, in the hazardous chemicals situation

last week, were able to evacuate the downtown hotel quietly in the middle of the night, so as not to alert the suspect, using OC Transpo vehicles to transfer guests to other hotels.

There’s bad sleepy and there’s good sleepy, right?

Rise of the millennials

T

ake a look around.

Are you wondering who your next manager may be? Don’t overlook that spunky kid at the desk beside you. You know, the “kid” born in the 1980s?

By the end of the year, millennials – those aged 18 to 34 in 2015 -- will outnumber baby boomers to become the largest living generation in the United States, reported PEW Research Center in mid-January. It also means they will dominate the labour force.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse And while the numbers aren’t necessarily paralleled in Canada, millennials across the developed world are poised to make their marks in workplaces. This is a good

thing, if you know what to do with them.

ecutives in the U.S. Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail industry. What our overview of research found is that millennials actually want a lot of the same things that women have been demanding in the workplace for decades: opportunity to be part of something bigger than their own roles, flexible working hours and arrangements, good benefits, vacations and parental leave, and opportunities to be appreciated for a job well done.

One of the papers I cited in the report was from PricewaterhouseCoopers. In 2011, the company conducted a survey of more than 4,000 graduates from across 75 countries. More than half of the millennials surveyed said

When millennials are engaged in their work and feel valued by their employers and colleagues, they can be among the most creative, hardworking, technology-savvy generation in the office. They aren’t afraid to experiment and new try new things, make connections or learn new technology.

Since they’re about to outnumber us, it’s probably a good time to think about how to work with them and develop them into great managers. In fact, they have already started to rise through the ranks, surpassing the boomers and gen-Xers that mentored them.

they preferred employers who offered opportunities for advancement, while 35 per cent cited “excellent training/ development programs” as a top incentive. Ninety-five per cent of millennials surveyed said work/life balance was important when determining where to work.

Other studies have found many millennials also want to have their opinions acknowledged and be given autonomy in their work.

It may sound like a tall order. But companies that have come to understand and accept these demands from millennials, and the women who came before them, will find themselves in a better competitive position a few

It’s maybe a small thing, but at Tartan, we think smooth finish ceilings make a big difference. It’s a far more contemporary look that’s also far easier to maintain and paint. Which is why smooth ceilings throughout, including 9’ ceilings on the main floor of all Tartan semis, singles and bungalows are standard. It’s just one of many features that make Tartan homes live better for you and your family–human or otherwise.

Memorials not best way to spend our money To the editor,

Thank you to Charles Gordon for putting into print “Make sure we are memorializing the right thing� – the criticisms of the public regarding the proposed memorial to victims of com-

Think about what it could mean to have an innovative manager that believes in work-life balance and employee engagement – not to mention someone that can keep you up-to-date with the latest app technology.

So I say, welcome millen-

munism.

I agree that the government needs to rethink the concept, the location, and as Gordon says, the language.

Personally I do not think anything should intrude upon the space dedicated to the Supreme Court of the land.

I also do not think, given the financial concerns of the country at this time, that any money should be spent on memorials when we need a new science and technology museum, extended LRT to the growing suburbs, infrastructure repairs or replace-

ment of bridges, national policies on our public health care (including dementia care), and affordable housing and public child care, to name only a few.

Building anything with celebratory language would be preferable to using the word “victim� or any reference to war.

I want our history to reflect our peaceable natures, not our war activities as our present administration seems to want to focus on.

RRSP tips Submitted

If you haven’t made your Registered Retirement Savings Plan

(RRSP) contribution for the 2014 tax year yet, you still have time as the deadline for contributions is March.

Three last-minute tips to consider: 1. Get advice. Find an investment advisor and discuss your financial goals. More information on find-

ing an advisor is available at www. franklintempleton.ca/rrsp.

2. Decide later. Park your money temporarily to take advantage of deferring the income tax you pay in 2014. Make sure you meet with your advisor later to decide where to invest it long-term.

3. Start early. Get a jump start on next year by setting up monthly contributions to your account. This helps you avoid making a lump sum contribution at the last minute next year.

Is your dryer vent a

Steph Willems/Metroland

Walk for memories The Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County held their 20th annual Walk for Memories on Jan. 25, raising funds for Alzheimer’s research. This year’s walk, held at the Carleton University Fieldhouse, saw a record number of participants take part. With more than 700 walkers, this year’s tally beat 2014’s record by 200.

A recent study states that as many 15,000 fires occur each year due to obstructed airflow caused by lint buildup in dryer vents. Lint collected in vents and traps is so flammable that it is often used as a fire starter. Most people know to clean the trap in their dryer before each use, but many ignore the vent. It’s a good idea to clean your lint screen with soap and warm water once a month to remove residue created by fabric softeners. Dr. Clean recommends hiring a professional to have your venting system cleaned. It is a simple process and a professional can insure that it is done properly.

Be aware of the signs that signal a possible clogged dryer vent. Does it seem like your clothes are taking much longer to dry than when you first used your machine? You may notice that items aren’t completely dry at the end of a regular cycle, this could mean that your vent is blocked causing hot moist air to remain in the machine that would otherwise be vented.

At the end of the cycle have you noticed that your clothes and the outside of the machine are very hot? If your system is clogged it wastes energy and causes the heating element and blower to work harder meaning that they wear faster and could lead to costly repairs.

fire hazard?

If your outside vent isn’t opening properly this could also be a red flag. An outside dryer vent that doesn’t function correctly is usually because air flow has been restricted due to lint build up. If at any time you smell a burning aroma, discontinue use and call a professional like Dr. Clean to have your system evaluated and cleaned.

Your vents should be cleaned once a year to prevent possible fires caused by buildup of lint. Not only are you preventing fire but by having your ducts and vents professional cleaned you will notice your dryer will run more efficiently, saving you money.

For more information, contact Dr. Clean Air or visit www.drcleanair.ca Not only will you be saving money, but you will have peace of mind that a possible fire will not be at your door stop due to a clogged vent.

A different road to Canada’s Olympic team BENCH WARMER

With nearly 30 years of working experience, she said she remains humbled by the opportunities she has been afforded.

Especially because she is not and never was an elite athlete.

“I was a bench warmer,” she said of her teen years. “I was the typical female who was going through puberty and couldn’t quite understand how sport fit in comfortably.”

“It’s not that I didn’t like sport, it just was not my talent.”

Though her own experiences in sport were underwhelming and not always positive, she understood what sport could mean for others, what it could do for a person’s perception of

themselves and how it could push them to be better.

“I had an opportunity to go work in sport, and I thought, “‘Well, that’s something I can get behind,’” she said.

Having left university after one year in communications, Lafrenière found work with the help of her sister, Aline, as a junior secretary with Badminton Canada.

“I didn’t have a degree and I was a female and (secretary work) is kind of where you went to,” she said.

Though she recognized that being a woman in a predominantly male profession had already had its effect on her, Lafrenière said she considered the secretary job an opportunity and worked hard to make something of it.

In 1988, when small Apple computers made their way into her workplace, Lafrenière saw

another opportunity and taught herself desktop publishing, becoming an entrepreneur and making newsletters for other sports organizations while working as a secretary.

Armed with a more unique skill set, Lafrenière did contract work for CBC, went to the Nagano Olympics, and, in 1992, became press chief for Canada’s Olympic team.

Since then, she worked at least 10 Olympic games, witnessing athletes triumphs, failures, and on many occasion, the magic of human determination to overcome physical barriers.

She was in Barcelona in 1992 when Canada’s reigning world champion in single sculls rowing, Silken Laumann, was hit by a German crew’s boat in training 10 weeks before the Olympic games.

As a member of Canada’s Olympic team on many occasions, Morgan’s Grant resident Lorraine Lafrenière says perhaps the most powerful thing she has witnessed is the raising of the Canadian flag on foreign soil in honour of another medal triumph.

“It just brings you to a level that is so powerful to your identity as a Canadian,” she said.

Knowing that she has been one of just a few hundred people to have contributed to those triumphs remains humbling.

A recent breast cancer survivor and currently the chief executive officer of the Coaching Association of Canada, Lafrenière has been lucky enough to be part of Canada’s sports world for the majority of her career, and participate in the Olympics at least 10 times.

Lafrenière was recently named to the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity’s Most Influential Women list for 2014 along with 22 other women.

Being included on the list is an honour, she said, especially considering the company she is sharing – that, and the fact that she isn’t and never was an elite athlete.

But her lack of ability hasn’t stopped her from being a part of the industry she loves, or blazing the way for other women who want to take up roles in sport.

Right now especially seems to be a good time for women in sport leadership roles, she said, with Anne Merklinger the CEO of Own the Podium, Karen O’Neill the head of the Canadian Paralympic Committee and others like Debbie Low, president of the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario.

But there remains plenty of work to be done when it comes to getting more women involved in sport.

“If you look at Olympic teams, if you look at Sochi, the percentage of female athletes on the Canadian Olympic team was around 45 per cent,” said Lafrenière. “The percentage of female coaches on the team was 13. So there was like 85 coaches on the Olympic team with about 11(women) … I don’t think it’s OK to have 13 per cent female coaches on an

Olympic team when almost half the team is female.”

Barriers still exist for women in sport: Lafrenière Continued from page 19

“Most of her leg was severed,” said Lafrenière. “The muscle, into the bone …but she went through massive surgery and came back and won an Olympic medal.

“Being in the room with her and her doctor after, it was quite a story. It was powerful because it is the triumph of the human spirit over physical limitations.”

BREAST CANCER

Lafrenière has gone through her own battle recently, learning on June 6 2014 that she had breast cancer.

A month later she would undergo surgery to have a lump removed, and then choose to take chemotherapy to reduce her chances of the cancer recurring.

“I used to call chemotherapy getting hit by the bus, but the sign on the bus would say, ‘50

per cent down to 10,’” she said.

Going through chemo was another opportunity, said Lafrenière, this time to prove her own strength to herself.

Newly appointed the CEO of the Coaching Association of Canada, Lafrenière chose to work through much of the chemotherapy, and worked to keep her situation lighthearted.

“I had an online vote with everybody and said, pick the colour of wig you think is nice,” she said. “I needed to normalize it with people so that they weren’t looking at me in fear or whatever, so I had a vote and the blonde won, and so here is my blond hair, and it’s great.

“It takes 30 minutes off of my morning. I put my hair on the side of the banister, I put it on in the morning and I walk out,” she said with a laugh.

Lafrenière said her career in sport has been due to a combination of hard work and taking advantage of opportunities.

While her being female has put

up barriers in some cases, in others it has given her opportunities.

But there remain significant barriers for women that need to be addressed, she said.

Having a job that doesn’t fit into the 9 to 5 work week is one of them. Also, from her own experience, Lafrenière said women tend be less likely to go for a job they feel underqualified for, while more men are content to learn on the job.

Another barrier is that women just don’t see sports administration as a viable opportunity, in part because they have seen so few female leaders in the field.

Being a leader in a Canadian sports association, Lafrenière said she recognizes her responsibility to encourage young people and women especially to believe that you don’t have to be an elite athlete to contribute to Olympic gold.

Team Canada is expanding, she said, with more sup-

Lafrenière, recently named to the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity’s Most Influential Women list for 2014, attributes her first job in the sports world to her sister. port staff from sports sciences, psychology, physiotherapy and even engineers who work to give athletes an edge.

That expanded role is a great opportunity for more women to get involved in sport, she said.

Being involved in sport is an

inspiring one, she said, whether it’s seeing an Olympian overcome the despair of never having won an Olympic medal and being proud just to be Canadian, or witnessing an athletic titan finally feel comfortable enough to announce to the world that

they are gay, or just watching as the Canadian flag is raised for another hard-working athlete as they are recognized for greatness on foreign soil.

Cancer foundation opens multi-faith suite Ottawa’s religious leaders instrumental in meditation suite’s design Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

When Marlon Oneid’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, her fight was not only against the brutal disease, but also in her struggle to understand and be understood.

“She had difficulty in the hospital being serviced in her own language,” said Oneid, a governor with the Canadian Lebanese Chamber of Commerce.

His three sisters took turns staying by their mother’s side 24 hours a day, seven days a week so they wouldn’t miss out on updates from her doctors and nurses.

“And that’s an impact on … the cancer patient, on the families of the cancer patient,” he said. “We’re equal in everything else, so why not serve in that language as well?”

For that reason, he and several of Ottawa’s faith leaders applauded the Jan. 20 official opening of a new multi-faith and meditation suite at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s Maplesoft Centre on Alta Vista Drive.

The room will complement a range of services offered through the centre’s cancer coaching program that has helped more than 2,000 cancer patients, their caregivers and families since it launched about four years ago.

The suite was made possible thanks to a $135,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation that will roll out over two years.

It will also cover the cost of translation services for cancer coaching clients unable to speak English or French, among other services, which the foundation hopes will encourage more people from linguistically and culturally diverse communities to use its free cancer coaching program.

More than half of Ottawa residents are of different religions and ethnic backgrounds, and 165,000 people here speak Arabic – the third most spoken language in the nation’s capi-

tal, Oneid said, adding that of those, 45,000 are Lebanese Canadians, many of them seniors who don’t speak English.

“It behooves us to ensure there is an environment that is made available to everybody,” said Oneid, one of several faith leaders whose input was sought for the design of the suite where cancer patients can retreat for prayer, reflection and meditation.

When Rabbi Reuven Bulka was asked for his ideas on the initiative, he wanted the room to be welcoming for people who don’t identify with a religion.

“It is a multi-faith room, but we want to make sure people who have no faith whatsoever come in there too and meditate as they are fighting (their disease),” said Bulka, who represents Congregation Machzikei Hadas synagogue.

“That shouldn’t restrict them from using the space to contemplate and to think about what they want to do with their life, think about where their life is taking them.”

The downstairs room, which features battery operated flickering candles and a curtain that can be drawn in front of two chairs, adorned with blankets, will give cancer patients, their relatives and caregivers a space where they can “take a little break from the hurly burly of life and sit down,” Bulka said.

The ceremony was also attended by Ruth MacKenzie, with the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Champlain region grant review team, and Ottawa South MPP John Fraser.

“We do amazing things to keep people alive and keep them healthy and cure them, and one of the things that we need to get better at is to fill those needs that they have, like spiritual needs,” Fraser said.

The suite would have been very inviting to Upper Hunt Club resident Behnaz Bahrami after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2008.

In 2009, she underwent treatment to shrink her large tumour before undergoing a mastectomy.

Bahrami, who attended the grand opening, said she is doing well now and continues to see her oncologist once a year.

She credits her Baha’i faith for providing her with strength throughout her ordeal, and says the new suite would have benefitted her in her healing process though the centre didn’t open until 2011.

“It was time for the centre to incorporate spiritual aspects into people’s healing,” she said.

“A lot of times, especially in the western world, we dwell on the physical aspects of our healing.”

The long list of spiritual and religious organizations in the community whose design input was sought was impressive to Linda Eagen, president

and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

“It’s so inspiring to me to see how we can all come together to make wonderful things like this happen,” she said, adding the long list is indicative of the scope and passion in the community.

“There are so many people who are working towards a dream that we all have: to increase cancer survivorship and to help people through their journey take care of their lives,” Eagen said.

“Cancer is a disease of our body, but we need to also take care of mind, body, spirit.”

Spring Camp Guide

These days, it’s possible to find a summer camp or day camp to suit every area of in­ terest. If your children have always been fascinated by the world around them, they might really love to go to a summer camp that specializes in the sci­ ences.

Whether your budding sci­ entists are drawn to stories of volcanoes and tornadoes, ro­ bots and machines, skyscrapers and bridges, or the planets and stars, science camp will satisfy their thirst for learning, at least for a little while. And if you find that your children or teen­ agers spend too much time in front of their computer screens or video games, this is the per­ fect op­portunity to channel that passion into a positive and enriching experience. Archi­ tecture, chemistry, engineering, computers, mul­timedia, phys­ ics, robotics — you just have to find the camp that best suits their interests.

And there’s not just learn­ ing on the program. What’s great about summer camps is that they also let children make new friends, friends who are all driven by the same pas­ sion. Camp is the perfect place to share their fascination with natural disasters or their love of airplanes. Lively discussions are sure to be on the agenda.

Spring Camp Guide

This summer, your children are going away to summer camp for the very first time.

And maybe it’s also the first time you’ve been separated from them for so long.

Everyone’s probably feeling a little apprehensive. Here are some tips to help everyone prepare for the day of departure.

• The best way to reassure children is not to worry. If you have specific concerns, call the camp and ask all the questions that are bothering you. Some camps hold open house days; they are a great opportunity to check out the location, meet

the counsellors, and get some reassurance.

• To build your children’s enthusiasm and interest, talk po­sitively about the camp and ask them about the activities they can’t wait to try. You can also tell them stories about your own experiences, if you ever went to summer camp.

• If your children have never slept away from home, it would be a good idea let them have a trial run. A weekend at their grandparents will likely be a comfortable initiation, and it will prepare them for the few nights they’ll soon be spending away from you.

• Don’t promise your children that you’ll go and bring

them home if they feel homesick or if they don’t like the camp. They could very well test your promise at the first hurdle. It will also keep them from making a ge­nuine effort to adapt if they know they can leave whenever they want.

Instead, encourage them to persevere. They can decide whether they want to repeat the experience once they’re back home.

Above all, put on your biggest smile when you say goodbye to them at the camp.

It will let them enter into their experience without worry that you’re in distress. After all, they’re going to be having an extraordinary adventure!

Last time I worked abroad multiple bombings took place and several governments closed their embassies. I also had my personal belongings stolen while I was in what was supposed to be a secure area. Do I have to go work in this country? If I do is my employer required to provide travel insurance in case something goes wrong?

The first thing to look at is your employment contract.

Most employment contracts contain both written terms, and unwritten terms that are implied into the contract by law. The written portion of an employment contract usually mentions the benefits and insurance coverage that an employer is required to provide and it may also mention work locations and travel.

Unless travel insurance is covered in the original contract, or has since been agreed to by the employer, an employer generally cannot be forced to provide travel insurance. Also, most travel insurance policies will not cover all of the risks you’ve outlined.

However, the failure to mention travel or relocation in a contract may prevent an employer from requiring that an employee work in a foreign country. Whether an employer can make such a

request, without it being specifically mentioned in the contract, depends primarily on the nature of the work and if foreign travel to that country was expected or foreseeable when the employee was hired or promoted into their current position.

If an employee has a legitimate fear for their safety they may be able to argue that a travel request from their employer is not consistent with their contract. The context of the employment and the country involved are important considerations. For example it could be implied into many contracts that travel to the United States is acceptable, whereas travel to parts of Afghanistan is not. It is always best to review your contract, check your facts, and consult with a lawyer before making any demands of your employer.

A charity golf tournament aims to engage the entire national capital region this year to support members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Professional Golf Association Tour Canada and the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services announced its new partnership and a new name and logo for an Ottawa-based event at the Morale and Welfare Services offices on Jan. 20.

Formerly known as the Forces and Families Open in 2014, was organized by the director of Forces and Families John Randolph, who served as tournament director.

A Toronto resident, Randolph decided to pass along the torch to the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services to host the tour this year. The organization announced the tour is now the National Capital Open to Support Our Troops.

PGA Tour Canada president Jeff Monday and Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services associate director Doug Langton said the new name and logo in an effort to better connect with the Ottawa community.

“The Ottawa area has such a strong golf community, and we want to do everything we can to make sure the National Capital Open to Support Our Troops becomes an integral part of that community,” Monday said.

Held at the Hylands Golf Club, the event raised $15,000 last year, with the money going to support the Military Families and the Soldier On funds.

The tournament will once again take place at the Ottawa South golf course from Aug. 17 to 23.

The Military Families fund provides emergency financial assistance to military families, while the Soldier On fund supports ill and injured military personnel with a permanent or chronic disability attain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Langton said that along with the objective of raising funds for the two programs, the other goal of the organization is to increase the emphasis that the tournament will be held in Ottawa.

“We are also grateful for the tremendous support of Canadians in general, to the morale and welfare of the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces through contributions to the Support Our Troops Funds,” Langton said.

“This tournament provides another opportunity to do that while at the same time enjoying an outstanding sporting event. We encourage everyone in the region to come to Hylands to watch in person what is sure to be an exciting tournament.”

Langton will serve as this year’s tournament director.

Last year Langton said the event saw young golfers vie for the chance to join the likes of Canadian golfers Mike Weir, Graham DeLaet, Brad Fritsch.

He added the event was a success be-

cause of its enthusiastic volunteers and sponsors.

Former PGA Tour member and Manotick native Brad Fritsch will return as the event’s ambassador of golf after lending his support to the event in its inaugural year.

Members of the military and their families will have complimentary access to PGA Tour Canada events, as well as clinics from tour players will be available.

Seniors council president pushes program for isolated seniors Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Kanata Seniors’ Council’s new president says she is hoping to make a splash during her two-year term, and her number one priority is fostering a new outreach program to help isolated seniors.

Sarah Trant, a Kanata resident since 2008, was elected last September as the president of the Kanata Senior’s Council after being nominated by outgoing president Kay Dubie.

“I thought it was time to either fish or cut bait,” said Trant, adding that she is hoping to stir up some change in the community to deal with the rising number of isolated seniors.

A City of Ottawa report

projects that 52 per cent of the city’s total population will be older than 65 by 2031.

“Nowhere (is the trend) more apparent than in Kanata,” she said.

The growth also coincides with a lack of support, said Trant. Whereas decades ago, a person’s nearby children could be counted on to help, parents are split up from their children across vaster distances now, leaving some seniors on their own, she said.

With that in mind, Trant said she looked to combine forces with existing support groups and retirement homes.

The proposal was met by sympathetic ears.

Chartwell Retirement Residences, said she and other organizations like the West Ottawa Community Resource Centre and the Kanata Hazeldean Community Association had already been looking to combine forces.

Now, those three organizations, along with the Kanata Seniors’ Council and representatives from other groups have begun meeting “to create a program where we can all work together so when we find these isolated seniors, we can go to them with a full tool kit of opportunities for them to become unisolated,” said Munro.

The program would rely on the organizations’ existing programs and resources as well as volunteers to provide transportation, companionship, entertainment and a reason to get outside and stay active, said Munro.

Residences are also a good resource to help identify isolated seniors, she said. While some seniors ultimately decide to stay in their homes, they can still be connected with services and programs offered by the members of the outreach group.

Senior isolation can be hugely detrimental, said Munro. Seniors who have recently lost a spouse sometimes find they are not able to cook more than a few

Sarah Trant, the Kanata Seniors’ Council’s new president, says she is hoping to help isolated seniors with a new partnership with retirement residences and other groups to provides services and social opportunities to keep seniors active. things for themselves, leading to nutritional problems, a lack of energy and further isolation, she said.

Even asking for help can be difficult for some seniors who find they need to rely more and more on others to drive them to and from church, the grocery store or doctors’ appointments.

“The socialization is a

huge one,” said Trant, who said she has high hopes for the new joint program.

Though it’s not yet up and running, Trant said she has been encouraged by the attendance of various groups at recent program meetings.

In the meantime, Trant said the seniors’ council has some upcoming events to get seniors out and about. The

first is the return of the Retirement Living Fair taking place an April 11.

The fair currently has 30 exhibitors of seniors’ services.

The second event is the fifth-annual Far West Fun Fest which will offer various activities like golf, karaoke, cards and more over several days in mid May.

Steven Hawking, one of the great intellects of this century once mused that the brain and the cosmos were the two great mysteries remaining to us.

Both of these enigmas are explored in a fascinating, funny and poignant dramatic cocktail called “Night Sky,” a play about the mental condition known as “aphasia” written by playwright Susan Yankowitz.

Yankowitz once described writing the play as exploring a nightmare of her own, namely “the terror of being locked in the self, unable to communicate”.

Tragedy comes to Anna, a professor of Astronomy when she is struck by a car and suffers an injury to the left hemisphere of her brain affecting the area which controls language. Now, though Anna can understand what is said to her, she must struggle with the black holes in her mind as even the most simple statements become a horrendous struggle.

Everyone experiences a bit of Aphasia: actor Continued from page 32

“She’s like Sisyphus, rolling language up a hill” explains the speech therapist played by Shelley Harrison.

“She has to search for every word ... to hold it in her mind, then move it into her mouth.”

Anna blurts out “New . . . new apple” to describe herself as a New Yorker.

With, “No worry flower on wall,”

she tries to comfort her skittish teenage daughter before a Valentine’s day dance.

Veteran Kanata Theatre actor Tania Carriere relishes the challenges playing Anna provides and offers her own insights: “Anna herself says that everyone has a bit of aphasia, and I have certainly experienced that in my own life.

For example, sometimes when I am stressed talking to a client or trying to

hold on to new concepts I can blank. I get frustrated thinking “Darn it, there’s a word for that”.

“Another example occurs occasionally during rehearsal, my own “aphasia” comes up against Anna’s. By that I mean my own brain knows that Anna’s convoluted dialogue is not a real sentence, so before it leaves my mouth I have to stop myself from correcting her mixed up words and syntax.”

“Night Sky” runs Feb. 3 to 14 at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive in Walter Baker Park. Tickets are $20.

The Playhouse is fully accessible, and parking is abundant and free.

Library adds Netflix-like movie service Thousands of hit films, documentaries and songs now available online through Ottawa Public Library Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Library users will be able

to watch hit movies like Oscar favourite Boyhood and listen to music from artists like Grammy-nominated Sam

Smith starting Feb. 17.

The Ottawa Public Library is adding the services of Hoopla Digital to allow library

Notice of Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Second phase of Low-rise Infill Housing Study In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that a Zoning By-law Amendment proposal has been initiated by the Planning and Growth Management Department of the City of Ottawa.

Lands subject to the proposal The Zoning By-law Amendment is a City-initiated proposal affecting low density residential zones within the green belt. More specifically, the amendment affects Residential First Density to Fourth Density Zones (R1, R2, R3, R4) within Wards 7 to 18.

users to stream or temporarily download popular films and television shows and music, from chart toppers to more classic offerings. There are more than 230,000 titles available in the Hoopla collection, including movies such as The Two Faces of January, Boyhood, and Majic City.

The music selection includes albums from Sam Smith to Nicki Minaj to Bastille.

Also on Feb. 17, Ottawa Public Library users will be able to use another new service: AVoD (Access Video on Demand), which offers popular documentaries originally produced for the likes of National Geographic, BBC, TED Talks, Nova, Rick Steves’ Eu-

rope. More than 13,000 videos and 207,000 video segments are available, ranging from art to business, geography to health, consumer sciences to do-it-yourself, biology to philosophy, and more.

There are no waitlists or late fees for any of the new streaming media being offered by the library. Items are automatically returned at the end of the borrowing period.

“For many years, OPL has been offering customers ebooks, music, videos, and audiobooks,” Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder, current chairwoman of the library board, said in a press release. “These two new services are a great addition to the mix.”

Hoopla Digital also has a

mobile app for Android or iOS devices to make it easier to enjoy your selections on the go.

The added video and music streaming is in addition to another new service the Ottawa Public Library launched in late December: Freegal, which offers library users three hours of streaming music each day from the online Sony music catalogue. In the three weeks since OPL introduced Freegal, more than 15,000 songs were streamed by Ottawa users.

A limited number of songs can also be downloaded using the service. Library users are currently limited to five songs per day, up from two when the download service originally launched in 2011.

Backyard tournament aims to raise $1,000

When Casey McGowan held his first backyard hockey tournament, it was just for fun. But three years later, he has decided to use the 30player competition to make a difference.

The Bells Corners resident first held the tournament in 2012 after he constructed an ice rink in his backyard for his kids that measured nine by 18 metres.

He invited friends through word of mouth to come out for a day of hockey on the rink, followed by a barbecue and drinks around a fire pit. Players paid a $10 fee to cover food. The event was so popular, he did it again in 2013.

This year, he has decided to raise money through the tournament to dress a young hockey player who cannot afford their own equipment.

“I have a son that plays hockey and he’s very fortunate to be in sports,” McGowan said. “I wanted to turn this into something more than just playing hockey.”

McGowan is asking for every participant to donate at least $10 for the initiative. He’s also appealing to players to donate any extra hockey gear they would be willing to part with.

The Butchery in Bells Corners is going to sponsor the event and provide meat for the barbecue.

McGowan’s goal is to raise $1,000 for Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart, a nationwide charity that provides sports equipment to children who can’t afford their own.

One in three Canadian families do not have the financial means to enrol their children in organized sports, according to Jumpstart, whose programs aim to keep kids active by helping with registration and equipment costs.

“I know not everyone can afford to play,” McGowan said. “The price of hockey gear is rising so I thought it would be a nice thing to give back.

I originally wanted to find a youth in my community, but couldn’t find someone so we went with Jumpstart.”

McGowan’s tournament had 30 slots for players, but quickly filled up. It is set to take place Feb. 1.

Program Room named after local Senior It was my pleasure this past week to join a resident of Kanata South and long time friend of mine, Owen Prince to visit the Program room at the Kanata Senior’s Centre that has been renamed the Owen Prince Room.

In the 1990’s Owen lead the effort in the lobbying of the Kanata City Council for a Kanata Seniors Centre and was key to not just raise the funds needed to ensure the Kanata Seniors Centre would be built, but his team exceeded their targets. Owen and his lovely wife Connie have been active members of the Kanata Seniors Centre for all these years and it was felt that naming the Program Room at the Seniors Centre would be the perfect way to honour him. Congratulations Owen!

The city will speed up the process of finding new monikers for streets with duplicate names.

Renaming the duplicates has been on the city’s to-do list since amalgamation in 2001 because the dual names can cause confusion, particularly for emergency responders.

Some of the duplicate streets have been renamed over the years and the city made good headway on the project, renaming approximately 150 streets so far.

But there are still around that many still waiting to be renamed, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who said he wants to see the job get done. He has been pushing for the changes since 2012, when he submitted an enquiry asking why the renaming were only being done at a pace of one or two a year.

“The city amalgamated over a decade ago, so that was the need for this,” Hubley said. He credited retiring chief building code official Arlene Gregoire with creating a plan to get the rest of the renamings done by 2016.

“I really want to congratulate her and her staff for giving us a solution so that we can clear up the backlog,” Hubley said.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli is also keen on seeing the renaming fast tracked because he has a number of confusing duplicate streets

in his ward.

“I have two Hadley streets in my ward and on different occasions, the wrong vehicles have gone to the wrong streets and this is a very unsafe situation,” Chiarelli said.

Planning committee chairwoman Jan Harder, councillor for Barrhaven Ward, said part of the reason the process has taken so long is people’s reticence to accept some of the changes that resulted from amalgamation, which didn’t sit well with some residents. Now that more time has passed, it is becoming easier, Harder said.

“Some people aren’t going to want their street name changed, but in the end it doesn’t matter,” Chiarelli said. “We have street names so people can find places. So when the street names become the reason why people can’t find places, it becomes antithetical to the point of their creation.”

Limited staff resources are also to blame, according to a memo from the planning department. City council took steps to address that issue last year by giving the director of building code services delegated authority to correct the spelling of a street name and eliminate duplication.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper asked city staff to make a list of the affected streets available as quickly as possible.

Information on the street renaming project will be posted on ottawa.ca this spring, including a list of streets that will be renamed. Residents will be invited to submit suggestions for new names online. The final name selections will be made by city staff in consultation with the appropriate city councillors.

The cost of replacing street signs will be covered through the existing public works budget, according to the memo from city staff.

Battle of Ontario raffle to support guide dogs Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Two lucky hockey fans can get up close and personal with the Sens as they cream the Leafs in March, thanks to an insurance broker in Manotick.

Co-operators broker Bill McDonald has donated his season’s tickets in the 100-level of the Canadian Tire Centre for the next Battle of Ontario matchup between the Ottawa Sena-

tors and Toronto Maple Leafs on March 21.

Worth $235 each, the tickets will be raffled off at $10 per ticket in support of the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, headquartered in Manotick.

“The Battle of Ontario is just great, and it’s almost a guaranteed sellout all the time,” McDonald said. “(Spectators) pay a fortune to be up in the 300 level.”

His tickets, however, are in the 100s, “Just up from the net,” McDonald said. “You’ve got a good view.”

The raffle prize includes a parking pass, and can be accessed through a convenient back door if the winners have any sort of disability or mobility issues.

A limit of 235 tickets will be sold, with the potential to bring in $2,350 for the charity.

Guide Dogs spokesperson Steven

Doucette said any extra funds will help, since the organization operates solely on donations. Any money raised will be directed to veterinary bills, one of the charity’s biggest expenses.

But Doucette said the raffle is also a win for hockey fans – and it’s all thanks to McDonald.

“There’s not a lot of donors that would give you Leafs tickets,” Doucette said. “For a lot of people the price point is astronomical; a lot of people can’t afford to go to a game like that.”

McDonald said he has seen first-

hand the good a guide dog can do for someone – even the dogs who don’t pass the charity’s rigorous training period turn out to be the most gentle, helpful companions.

“I had a neighbour who had a little grandchild with autism and they ended up getting a dog who had not passed the test,” McDonald said. “It would let the little girl go down the laneway but at the road the dog would just stop her.”

Raffle tickets are just $10 and can be purchased online at guidedogs. ca or at 613-692-7777. The winning ticket will be drawn

PHOTOS BY DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Curtis Lazar is virtually attacked by a gang of kids at the rink in Pakenham. He surprised the Mississippi Mills atom team with hockey sticks and participated in their practice on Jan. 16.

Lazar surprises atom team with hockey sticks Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

A young hockey hero recently paid a surprise visit to a team of nine- and 10-yearolds, and he brought gifts.

Curtis Lazar, NHL rookie and captain of Canada’s 2015 gold medal-winning junior team, listened at the door of a Pakenham atom team’s dressing room on Friday evening.

He heard the whoops of joy when the kids were told the Ottawa Senator forward was coming in.

Lazar said he was just as excited to surprise the Mississippi Thunder Kings as they were to meet him.

“I’m all fired up,” said Lazar, beaming from ear to ear at delighted parents and media members.

He must have been very excited because the kids almost leapt on him, touching and hugging and pummeling him with questions at the Bauer-organized event.

“Did you bring your medal?” “Can you sign my helmet.” “Can you pass the puck to me?” “You’re pretty much rich.”

Known as the full package, an exceptional player and teammate on ice and an affable and polite young man off the ice, Lazar gently settled the children down by asking a few questions.

He guided them around to their recent overtime tournament loss. Then he said maybe next time they will do better

with the new Bauer Vapor 1X sticks he brought.

“On behalf of myself and Bauer I got something for you so next time maybe you can get that win.”

More screaming and general pandemonium ensued.

The next 20 minutes had Lazar handing out sticks, signing autographs for everyone who asked, and doing interviews.

He even signed a kid’s crushed pop can.

“That should be worth five cents now,” he said, laughing.

In an exclusive with Metroland Media East, the rising star was asked who he would have wanted to visit his atom dressing room. The Vernon, B.C. native recalled fond memories of travelling to Vancouver once a year to watch the Colorado Avalanche, specifically team captain Joe Sakic.

“He was just such a complete player, and a class act off ice,” Lazar said. “’Burnaby Joe’ – that’s what everybody in B.C. called him. He had one of the best wrist shots in the game.”

Lazar, who lives in Kanata, speaks with all the enthusiasm of a kid even as he transitions into one of the most exclusive and physical sports leagues in the world.

When asked about his favourite on-ice moment, he blurted out a series of moments. Obvious ones included the recent World Junior championship victory, the Memorial Cup, his first NHL game. But he also added, as if it came

as a shock even to himself, “I played against Sidney Crosby!

It’s amazing” It all feeds into Lazar’s deep sense of gratitude. He knows he is among the fortunate few; that every kid on the pond dreams of playing in the NHL; that he was blessed with talent and enjoys hard work; that he owes much to the sport. So when asked to explain hockey to non-hockey people, Lazar doesn’t hesitate.

“It’s a family. That’s what the hockey community is – a family,” he said. “We come together across Canada, even if you aren’t a hockey fan you are part of it. It teaches life lessons about overcoming adversity, teamwork and that. It makes you the person you are.

Hockey’s been everything to me.”

Lazar’s NHL debut hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. He struggled to score his first goal, then the second. But making it to the top level in any sport is a major achievement.

Everyone in the league was probably the best player in their hometown. Now they play against each other, and one-time minor hockey superstars find themselves on the fourth line.

“A lot goes into playing in the NHL,” he said. “There’s a real pecking order. The size and strength and speed are a lot to adjust to. But I’m getting a lot of support from the Senators and really appreciate all they’re doing for me. I hope to be in Ottawa a long time.”

The city had issued a permit for a sign to be put up at the building, which houses a Comfort King window and door store, but a larger, digital lit sign was installed instead of what was allowed.

Lit digital signs must be at least 45 metres away from homes and there are homes within 30 metres of the sign’s location.

While commercial uses are allowed on the site, they are supposed to be limited. The building was converted from a one-storey residential building into a retail use and large signs associated with a major shopping centre aren’t allowed, according to a report from city staff.

Lean winter leaves Mother to learn new ways of making do

T

he winter parcel from Eaton’s that year was more scant than usual.

There were the usual sets of combination underwear for Father, and long johns for the brothers. I was given my sister’s castoffs, as that was also the year it was determined Audrey was old enough that she no longer had to wear the hateful long underwear under her lisle stockings.

They were much too long for me, so Mother simply cut off a few inches from the upper leg, sewed them back together again, and so I still had the ribbed ankles to wrap under my stockings as I tried desperately to make them less visible.

Every night I washed the cuffs only, wrung them out as tightly as I could, and draped them over a chair by the stove pipe upstairs.

By the time they had gone through a full day, they had

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories lost their tightness again, and the whole exercise would have to be repeated.

And so, as well as not getting any new underwear in the Eaton’s parcel, that year there would be no fresh flannelette sheets either.

I would miss the scent of brand new flannelette sheets, which smelled the same as the Dan River bolts of cotton at Walker’s Stores in Renfrew.

That year, Mother said we would have to do with the already threadbare ones on our beds. There was money only for the bare essentials.

Well, as so often happened after Mother came to the

farm in Northcote fresh from living in New York for 18 years, she had a lot to learn, and she relied more and more on Aunt Bertha Thom across the 20 Acre Field on the next farm.

It was Aunt Bertha who taught Mother how to make felt slippers to help keep our feet warm on the floors of a house with no cellar.

It was Aunt Bertha who showed Mother how to put yellow beans in brine so they would taste like they had just been picked from the garden during the winter.

And it was Aunt Bertha who helped put together a quilting frame and who

showed Mother how to put together blocks of print and fine-stitch them, turning them into warm covers for our beds.

And it was Aunt Bertha who showed Mother what could be done with flannelette sheets when they became thread bare down the middle where they got the most wear.

And so, it was on a bitterly cold Saturday in the winter that Mother sent Audrey upstairs to take off the flannelette sheets from the bed in the back bedroom where my brothers slept.

She was going to follow Aunt Bertha’s instructions to the letter.

The kitchen table was cleared, and the sheet thrown across it, just like a tablecloth. Mother made sure it was on exactly right, with the same amount of sheet hanging down on each side of the table. Then she took the scissors and with Audrey

holding one side and me the other to keep the sheet in place, Mother cut the flannelette sheet in half, right down the middle.

Then the outer edges of the sheet were put together,

outsides into the centres, so that they would see us through at least one more winter, and if we were lucky, maybe two. Finally, they would be cut up and put into the rag bag.

It was Aunt Bertha who taught Mother how to make felt slippers to help keep our feet warm on the floors of a house with no cellar.

Mother hauled it over to the old Singer sewing machine, and with Audrey and me feeding it up off the floor, the outer edges became the middle of the sheet.

I stood back and marveled at the cleverness of Aunt Bertha. There before me was a brand new sheet. It took Mother the better part of a month to work through the old worn sheets, turning the
