Eagleson bridge woes spark call for pedestrian overpass Province to start bridge sidewalk work this summer Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Work to widen the narrow pedestrian sidewalk on Eagleson Road bridge, slated to start this summer, won’t sat-

isfy the community’s safety concerns, says Neil Thomson, the president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association.

The bridge’s pedestrian sidewalk caused problems over the last few weeks because of heavy snowfall in Ottawa.

City workers have been unable to clear the sidewalk as it is too narrow for their plows and presents a safety risk to

workers, prompting the city to post signs telling people not to walk across the bridge.

The only solution is to build a separate pedestrian overpass, similar to one crossing Highway 417 from Gray Crescent to Whitney Drive, located near the Kanata Town Centre, Thomson said.

The on- and off-ramps are the biggest problem, he said, with vehicles traveling up to 100 kilometres an hour as they approach them. “Both on-ramps have poor sight lines to the location where a pedestrian crossing would be put in,� Thomson said. “Upgrading the sidewalk on the bridge to allow the city’s snow clearing machinery to operate would not address safety concerns,� he said. “The only effective solution is a pedestrian overpass across the 417 from Campeau to the west side park and ride.�

Kanata United Church book sale returns Kanata United Church

The holidays are over and school classes have resumed. And like so many students, it’s ‘back to the books’ for Kanata United Church book sale volunteers.

The 24-hour book drop at 33 Leacock Drive is once again open for the final weeks leading up to the Feb. 19 to 21 book sale and the books have been pouring in. Volunteers will sort through over 60,000 books before this year’s sale, categorizing “keepers” and sorting fiction by author. When the sale opens, over 35,000 quality books will be available for purchase.

Kanata United Church’s annual fundraising sale is now reputed to be one of the largest, and best, used book sales in the city.

Customers return annually from as far away as Kingston to stock up on reading material. The sale’s popularity stems from a number of factors: the quality of the books is extremely high, the layout of the sale is well organized, there are many friendly volunteers to help out, and funds raised help support charitable organizations such as the Kanata Food Cupboard and Habitat for Humanity.

Since undergoing an operation that replaced half his heart with a pump, Jim Maveety can’t wait much longer for a new heart.

There’s no way to speed up the wait time, but the Kanata legion is hoping to ease the Greely man’s financial worries by holding a dance and silent auction fundraiser on Feb. 14.

Maveety’s heart problems started with a bout of pneumonia at age 31, said his motherin-law, Mary-Lynn McPherson.

The infection went from his lungs to his heart, and, 14 years later, caused Maveety to need a pacemaker implant to re-start his heart in case of a heart attack.

Employed as a bartender, Maveety’s condition continued to deteriorate until he could no longer work, and his doctor put him on the heart transplant list, said McPherson.

“He had every expectation that he would soon obtain a new heart and things would return to

Taken to the hospital’s intensive care unit, the family grew more and more worried. “That was horrendous because (doctors) kept coming out and telling Marah (Maveety’s wife), ‘We just want you to know Jim is not doing well. His heart failed again. He’s flatlined. We’ve had to do CPR and use the paddles,’� said McPherson. “The doctor eventually said, ‘I lost count after (reviving Maveety) 12 times.�

Though Maveety couldn’t be stabilized, they managed to have the machine, called a left ventricular assistive device, installed in his chest,� she said.

Maveety survived, and managed to get home for Christmas. But that latest close call has left the family, including Maveety and Marah’s two children, very discouraged, said McPherson.

Now, the wait for a heart

a Heart, is a dance and silent auction taking place on Feb. 14 at the legion, located at 70 Hines Rd. Taking place from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children.

The legion hopes to sell about 120 tickets, with half of them already sold, said Cher.

Auction items will include Ottawa Senators’ tickets with good seats near the ice, Cher said, provided by Sobey’s on March Road.

If you can’t make it to the event itself, Cher said money can also be donated to Maveety.

McPherson said the legion’s generosity, as well as that of others, is appreciated by the family.

Nonetheless, they continue to dream of a new heart, knowing that “what will fulfill our dreams will break somebody else’s heart,� said McPherson.

Now living with the McPherson’s, the Maveetys have not been able to sell their home, leaving them in a difficult financial situation.

The Kanata legion will be the latest group to provide support for the family, with the Gloucester Rangers Minor Hockey Association, the Leitrim Minor Hockey Association and family members and friends organizing fundraisers, a Facebook page called Jim’s Hearts, and a fundraising page at youcaring.com/help-a-neighbor/ jim-s-hearts/234416.

Pedestrians continue to use sidewalk despite dangers: Coun.

SIDEWALK WIDENING

BRIDGE DANGERS

Despite the danger of walking across the narrow and unplowed pedestrian sidewalk on Eagleson bridge, people continue to do it, said Hubley and Wilkinson.

“They are endangering themselves, at great risk to themselves,” said Hubley.

Despite the city’s signs, Wilkinson said, “We are not going to be able to stop (people) from using (the bridge).”

Though she asked pedestrians to avoid using the bridge if possible, she added that, if that’s not possible, to be extremely careful and walk facing traffic.

To address the issue, Wilkinson said she is waiting to hear from city staff if snow plowing of the sidewalk can be done while the roads on the bridge are being plowed, making the sidewalk somewhat safer.

“The city is worried about liability if they were to clear (the sidewalk) and it’s still kind of dangerous, but on the other hand, the liability is even worse if they don’t do anything,” said Wilkinson.

The city disagrees, said Hubley.

Referring to remarks made

by Wilkinson in her column in the Kourier-Standard on Jan. 29, Hubley said, “Contrary to recent comments in the Kanata Kourier, the city’s Public Works and Legal Services have agreed with my recommendation to close the bridge to pedestrian traffic until repairs can be completed and a proper sidewalk can be installed leading up to the bridge.”

The Kourier-Standard was unable to confirm with city staff their official position on pedestrian use of the bridge by press time.

Wilkinson said she believes some plowing of the bridge sidewalk can be done safely to make pedestrian crossing safer until work can be done on the bridge.

“People are still walking on the bridge, and they come from my ward,” she said.

“One person says for example she has no choice.

There is no bus, she has to get the very first (Route 96 bus on the south side of Highway 417). She has to be at work for 6 a.m. … there are no express buses that are leaving at 5 a.m. from my side to get her there for 6 a.m. The only thing she can do is to walk across the bridge.

“So we have people that, to get to work, have to use that (bridge) and it’s an urban area – they should be able to walk across the bridge,” she said.

Wilkinson said the city is ignoring the fact that people will still need to use the bridge, “which is like putting your head in the sand.”

“I don’t want anybody to get hurt, and the city doesn’t either, so it’s a very difficult situation,” said Wilkinson.

FILE

A lack of buses across Eagleson Road bridge at key times is giving some north Kanata residents no other choice but to walk across the bridge, which remains closed to pedestrians, says Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

ANNA OSTAPYK Sales Representative Lifetime Achievement Award R0862484909.0129

The Ministry of Transportation met with Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and city staff to discuss widening the bridge’s pedestrian sidewalk on Jan. 27.

Exactly how the ministry will widen the sidewalk, which is less than 1.5 metres wide with tall curbs and a trench cut-out across the middle, has not yet been determined, said the councillors.

“It’s not a simple, easy solution,” said Wilkinson.

“They can’t just add a few inches of concrete on the side,” she said, because of how the bridge is built and road requirements.

Guard rails near the end of the bridge also take up part of the sidewalk, further complicating the issue.

The bridge was part of the $86-million west end Queensway expansion project going from Eagleson Road to Highway 7.

The project included repairs to and rehabilitation of the Eagleson Road bridge and ramps, in addition to constructing a median and adding the sidewalk.

Construction began in 2011 and was finished in 2014 In addition to work by the province, the city is also looking at moving up its timeframe for extending sidewalks on Eagleson and March Roads up to the bridge sidewalk, said Wilkinson.

Funding for that project is currently scheduled for 2017, but the push is on to find a way to fund part of the proj-

ect this year.

Ministry staff said deciding on a plan to widen the sidewalk will take about six weeks, said Wilkinson.

“It’s still not probably going to be perfect, but I think hopefully we will get something that’s workable.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING YOUR HOME CLEAN THROUGH EVERY SEASON OF THE YEAR As Cold approaches, homes tend to get sealed-up to protect the inhabitants from the cold. But as with any season, caution should be taken for ensuring the cleanliness of your home in order to safeguard the occupants and even protect the property.

Canadians spend an estimated 90 per cent of their time indoors. Having clean air is important for good health – but it goes beyond just the air itself. Before the cold weather sets, there are a number of things that homeowners should tend to in order to ensure their environment is clean.

Furnaces: in many ways, the furnace is the heart of your home. With the arrival of winter, it will be required to run continually, but it must do so efficiently. Furnaces must be maintained and cleaned for efficiency as well as for cleanliness. Gas furnaces can produce carbon monoxide. The amounts of carbon monoxide are usually small and are vented out. But, an inefficient furnace can produce toxic and even deadly amounts of this invisible gas. As well, the furnace should be professionally cleaned prior to winter, because every microbe and particle of dust is later fed back into your home’s atmosphere.

Air ducts: if the furnace is the “heart” of the home, then air ducts certainly qualify as the home’s respiratory system (overall, the respiratory system is actually your homes HVAC system: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). Air ducts must be cleaned regularly to get rid of the dust, dust-mite waste, bacteria, and all the impurities that get “breathed” back into your home’s environment. To safeguard your family from the risk of allergies and respiratory problems, it’s essential to have your home’s air ducts professionally cleaned.

Dryer vents: clogged dryer vents offer yet one more haven for mould and bacteria. As well, clogged dryer vents can be a fire hazard, and can prevent the proper ventilation of carbon monoxide.

Kitchens and Bathrooms: moisture is the principal culprit that can lead to the formation of mould and mildew, while also creating unpleasant odours. Both the kitchen and bathroom are two of the most-used rooms in your home. Stay on-guard through regularly, extensive cleaning for each of these highly frequented areas. Moisture can lead to the formation of mould where you might not see it, such as behind the walls or in the ceiling.

Carpets: a comment must be made about the importance of keeping rugs and carpets clean. People tend to forget about just what all those carpets in their home collect. Dust, dust mites, dirt, pet dander, fungus, and all sorts of mysterious but potentially unhealthy particles can take root in your homes carpets, leading to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, asthmatic attacks, illness, and so much more. Carpets are nesting grounds. It’s a good idea to have your carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis.

Any amount of normal living in a home will produce moisture, dust, pet dander, and an assortment of particles that can easily include pathogens, pollutants, and more. Mold, mildew, fungus, and allergens can develop in your home in addition to the standard “dirt and grime” of daily living.

It’s always best to keep your home thoroughly clean, and this advice applies to every season of the year. With the arrival of the cold season however, cleanliness becomes especially important for the protection of everyone in your home, as well as for the property itself.

In the Ottawa region, Dr. Clean Air can provide all the cleaning services you require. The company’s extensive services and packages duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning.

compete with Netflix.

Shomi, a new video streaming service, is the brain child of Jason Flick and Stuart Russell, who co-founded the software company You.i six years ago in the Kanata North Business Park.

Similar to Netflix, the service has a user interface that allows consumers to find videos faster and with the same experience on every device, whether it’s an iPhone, a tablet or an Xbox, say the company’s two co-founders.

That’s a pitch that customers have heard before but has never been delivered, said Flick.

But Flick and Russell say their company has made it possible through new techniques in development, and by treating their software like a videogame, meaning they’ve coded their software from the ground up.

Starting as a three-man team, the company has doubled in size every year, said Flick. With this latest Shomi deal, he expects the company to quadruple in size, with 150 employees by the end of 2015.

While the company is cur-

rently betting on the videostreaming world where a battle is raging for the consumer, one thing is certain, said Flick.

“There is certainly not going to be any slowing,” he said.

“The (video streaming) space is on fire.”

You.i is a user interface company, meaning it designs and builds the software that people use to interact with their devices. A flick of a finger can shift a screen from left to right, or a tap or click on a symbol can tell the user interface to start up a program.

Flick and Russell’s company decides what gestures will do and what things will look like, combining program coding and artistic design to create an interface they think is both user-friendly and beautiful.

COMPETITION

Shomi is entering into a competitive and growing market, said Flick, created largely by its biggest competitor – Netflix.

LETTERS Pipeline shouldn’t cross Rideau River To the editor,

Re: “Energy East pipeline draws large crowd,” Jan. 29, Kourier-Standard.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the open meeting regarding the proposed route for the new pipeline.

But I would ask why this pipeline has to come anywhere near the Rideau River?

If it is near Pembroke, then why doesn’t it cross the Ottawa River there, and continue on to its destination? This would ensure that it doesn’t come close to the capital city and its suburbs.

I would also ask why would it be buried under the river.

Connected to your community

If there ever is a problem (and history shows there will be), it means a huge inconvenience to excavate the pipe and repair. Why not put it over the river on a bridge where it can easily be seen, and repaired? What am I missing?

Andrew Hartshorn Kanata

O-Train needed in Gatineau before south Ottawa To the editor,

Was it 15 or 20 years ago that a study showed the need for another bridge between Ottawa and Hull?

Since then the matter has

been studied, discussed, considered, studied again, looked at, debated . . . everything except built.

As a result, the existing bridges are far over capacity during rush hour and, any time one of them is down for repairs or renovations, crossprovince traffic becomes a minor nightmare.

So, with all due respect to the citizens living in the south end of the city - and I live in Riverside, in an area under-served by transit(so I know how they feel) - there’s a far greater need to have the O-Train extended into Gatineau and thus relieve pressure from the overburdened bridge infrastructure.

After all, it is far easier to expand the existing roads than to build a new bridge.

City’s future now on display

S

eemingly unbeknownst to many Ottawa residents, a $3.1-billion game-changer has been taking shape below ground.

Construction of the $2.1-billion light-rail line has mostly been mostly invisible thus far, with very little impact on the downtown streets above.

Almost 600 metres of tunnel has been excavated in Centretown and Sandy Hill.

Despite being the largest infrastructure project in Ottawa since the Rideau Canal was built in 1832, many residents seem unaware of the mammoth project or what it will mean for their lives. Candidates for city council said people they met on the campaign trail late last year didn’t seem to have a sense of the overall project, and how it will change the city.

Now, we have a tangible way to connect with what light rail will mean for Ottawa’s future. A replica of one of the 34 Alstom Citadis trains that will run down the 12.5 kilometres of track was unveiled at Lansdowne Park last week. People can view it every day until the end of March from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Aberdeen Pavilion. And while they’re there, they

can get a sense of how Ottawa is about to change.

When the trains begin running in 2018, transit users will be able to board every four minutes to ride the 13 stops between Tunney’s Pasture in Hintonburg and Blair Station in the east. For part of the trip, riders will be able to look out the window and see how proximity to transit prompts cranes to crop up on the skyline, building some of the city’s tallest buildings.

When passengers disembark the trains downtown and emerge from the underground stations, they’ll see vibrant streets that will likely contain more bicycles than buses, since all the Transitway buses will be removed, having been replaced by more efficient underground trains. Wider sidewalks, patios and a host of businesses to serve the hordes should eventually spring up around the stations.

In the meantime, the LRT construction is about to become a lot more real to people as the Transitway outside the downtown is converted to a rail line, forcing buses to be detoured. It might be hard to envision now, but take a trip to Lansdowne, step onto the train and take a trip into the future.

Typical storm leads to epic hysteria

R

esidents of Boston and Long Island and parts of the Canadian Maritimes might agree that it was an historic blizzard they lived through last week.

Residents of Ottawa might sit here smugly watching other people battle storms while we bathed in sunshine (although not warm sunshine). But residents of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia are wondering what all the fuss was about. How come all the roads were closed, the subways shut down, flights cancelled in those places and nothing much happened.

Not surprisingly, weather forecasters are taking a bit of beating and reacting with humility. The U.S. National Weather Service director said his organization should have

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town done better at communicating the fact that weather forecasts contain uncertainty. A forecaster apologized in a tweet: “You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn’t.�

There’s really no need for that. Everybody should know that forecasting is an inexact science. We’ve all seen forecasts that turned out to be wrong, as well as ones that turned out to be exactly right. If there is an apology to be given, it should be delivered by

the news media, who raised storm coverage to the level of hysteria.

It’s not a new observation that the best disaster coverage comes in advance of the disaster. The disaster, when it comes, may turn out to be second-rate, but in advance you can say just about anything you want.

Knowing this, it was with some anticipation that I tuned in CNN the morning the storm was supposed to hit. Checking back from time to time, I found that the storm was basically the only story that day. Well, there was the trial of a former National Football League guy, but even that was announced by a news person standing outdoors wearing a CNN parka and tuque. “HISTORIC STORM,� said the logo on the screen.

was repeated by CNN correspondents on the scene, each of them standing in what appeared to be normal surroundings. One reporter urged his camera to zoom in on the ground beside his feet, where he kicked at something that might have been a thin coating of slush. Maybe my screen wasn’t big enough, but it horrified him and it was meant to horrify us.

Even more graphic was the guy who announced that he was going to show us what horror awaited us on the roads. With the camera pointed out the window, he drove down a highway. The wipers were on, but aside from that it looked like a normal gloomy February day in Ontario.

Horror was not co-operating but the media folks would not be stopped. It was as if they had planned a trip into Jurassic Park, wound up in a petting zoo by mistake but hadn’t really noticed. On they would go,

pointing out in dramatic tones what should have been a brontosaurus but was really a bunny rabbit, urging.

Unfortunately for Boston, but luckily for CNN, snow did eventually fall, enabling its reporters to get some on their parkas.

By the time many of them find and keep a career position in their thirties, they’re not only mired in debt, but they’re stuck paying for pensions of the three generations before them, with no time to save for their own.

I get that people are living longer than they have historically. I understand that means some of us will be working well into our seventies before we get to retire. But for the boomers and many of Generation X amassing wealth, while simultaneously collecting pensions in the seventh decade of life, is a choice for many in secure, pensioned jobs.

the graduates are young and talented people who want a chance to make a mark in their careers – for which they’ve trained at least five years – and they’d like to make a dent in their student debts.

After five years of university, they also deserve to start making steps toward their financial futures. But call them spoiled, call them privileged, call them what you will: Millennials are not starting out with the same opportunities as the generations that came before them.

A big part of that is the boomers that refuse to call it quits from the increasingly rarified salaried positions.

If you’re at least as old as the average Canadian, you may scoff. But let’s take a look at some facts. First, younger generations are required to train ever-longer for jobs that don’t exist at the end of their training. (Teachers being another great example now that Ontario has introduced a cash-grab policy of extending teacher training over two years instead of one – this after the kids already acquire a three-to-four year degree).

No offence to teachers, for whom I have the utmost respect, but after achieving a

h, Canada, we’re getting old.

The average age of a Canadian in 2013 was 40. In 1971, the average age was 26. If this trend continues, Canada will be middle aged by 2027.

The millennials I wrote about last week may not be as lucky as I thought. They should hit their prime just as the second cohort of baby boomers decides to retire and, as research suggests, millennials should bypass my generation (Gen X) to get top jobs. There’s only one problem: The baby boomers – especially the ones in top jobs -- aren’t retiring.

Of course, some are. But there are a lot of hangers on.

In many industries, this isn’t a bad thing. The old guys and gals have wisdom and experience. They can be great mentors, consultants and trainers.

I’m not ageist. Did you know this is the first time in history that four generations have worked side-by-side? What diversity! I think it’s great.

At the same time, in a country where career positions are slimming out and unionized positions are hard to find, the elders aren’t moving out fast enough to make room for youth.

Look at teaching, for example. Every year, Ontario universities have graduated thousands of kids who qualify with the Ontario College of Teachers. And for the last 12 years or so, most of those thousands can’t find jobs in their own province, or even their own country. Many of

For the millennials who follow – unless unions enforce against double dipping – they’re in the penalty box for another decade, waiting for boomers to die or move on. And when they finally land one of those prized career positions with benefits, they’ll be paying into pensions they may never collect, they’ll have nary enough to pay for housing in the meantime,

and if they’re so lucky in good health (probably without publicly funded healthcare as it exists now), they’ll work until they’re octogenarians out of necessity, not out of choice.

I’m not an ageist, but surely the boomers can retire, find hobbies, discover high-paying consulting positions, collect their fat pensions, and leave the salaried, pensioned jobs for the kids.

To the editor,

Re: “Power outage in south Kanata,” Jan. 29, KKS. On Jan. 26, a lengthy power outage affected portions of Glen Cairn and Bridlewood.

Both Hydro Ottawa and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley worked together to communicate the latest developments regarding the situation to residents affected by this lengthy outage – which certainly is not accurately captured in this article.

Hydro Ottawa is very appreciative of Coun. Hubley’s efforts to disseminate this vital information to his constituents, and we were in contact numerous times to ensure residents were getting any assistance required.

The outage on Jan. 26 was prolonged by a combination of factors – the type of equipment failure, the configuration of the electrical system during planned work, the cold weather and the location of the failure, among others.

A power outage this lengthy certainly does not meet our standards to supply the power reliably.

Hydro Ottawa would like to thank its customers for their patience as crews worked to make repairs and restore power on this very cold day, and Coun.

Hubley for his work serving the community.

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.

ally started a small business coding games for PDAs (personal digital assistants) and cellphones.

The two met up six years ago and bonded over the user interface on Flick’s new iPhone.

They said they realized that the way people interacted with the iPhone heralded a huge change in the way people would interact with their devices, predicting that companies like BlackBerry, Nokia and Microsoft would have to scrap their user interface programs and follow

Continued from page 6

“Everybody is being hurt by Netflix,� he said, because it provides customers with a new way to watch the shows or movies they want.

Now, providers like Bell, Rogers and Shaw are scrambling to offer something similar. “I think it’s interesting that they are creating a product that kind of meets the needs of ‌ gen x and millennials that want to consume content anywhere, anyway, anytime,â€? said Flick.

It’s a battle over who can provide the most content on the most devices the fastest, he said, adding that’s what Shomi was built to do. “It is a bit of a battle over the consumer,� he said. “Who is going to win? We will see. Nobody knows for sure. We are going to arm (media companies), give (consumers) that great experience everywhere, but it is going to be an incredible battle.�

The world is our oyster.

Stuart Russell

BEGINNINGS

Flick, a London, Ont. native, went to Carleton University, earning a degree in computer science.

He coded programs for Transport Canada before starting his own company, Flick Software, when the tech bubble burst in 2001.

Russell began coding at about 11 years old, he said, and eventu-

suit.

Russell had a Dell PDA at the time and made a bet with Flick that he could make his PDA do everything the iPhone could. A few weeks later, the two posted a video on YouTube showing iPhone-like interfaces on many different devices, and it went viral. “We got hundreds of thousands of views, and thousands of emails, and then we said, ‘OK, this is a real business,’� said Flick.

They soon realized they weren’t allowed to sell software that copied iPhone’s interface, but that first challenge kick-started the idea for You.i.

Now, with the company’s business skyrocketing, Flick and Russell are very optimistic about the software business. “For software, it’s an amazing time,� said Russell. With so many devices out there, from cellphones to tablets, laptops to smart watches and more, software coders and designers can take their pick of what space they want to work in, he said. “The world is our oyster,� said Russell. “There are so many options.�

For those looking to begin their own start-up, Flick had a few words of advice. “Persistence and optimism are probably the two biggest characteristics you need,� he said. “But it’s a fine line between being told 10 or 20 times that your idea is crazy – it can’t be done, and persisting and proving it can be done, versus maybe 15 years later still being told it’s crazy.Then, they probably were right.�

As for where to get your start-up going, Flick said there is no better place than north Kanata.

But don’t ask him for any startup capital, he said. He’s successful, but not that successful.

Though, with Shomi out in the marketplace, and some new deals on the way, Flick said that next level of success might not be too far off.

Nepean Skating Club members lace up for charity ice spectacle Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Two Nepean Skating Club members are set lace up their skates and take to the ice for Elizabeth Manley’s charity ice spectacle.

Talia Rancourt, 15, and Alex Gunther, 17, will join Chloe Bondar of the Gloucester Skating Club, to skate in Liz Manley and Friends, which raises money for the charity Do It For Daron and the Youth Services Bureau. “When I was told I would do the show I was really excited for it,� Alex said.

The duo went to go see Manley’s show two years ago when their coaches, Mike Coreno and Allie Hann, skated in it. “Two years later, she (Manley) asked us to ask our students to be in the show, which is a great gesture,� Coreno said.

The two ice dancers will get the chance to perform with Manley, who won a silver medal in the 1988 Olympics, as well as Olympian Elvis Stojko and world champions Kimmie Meissner and Javier Fernandez.

Manley started holding charity shows in 2012 to raise money for charities that help teens with depression and mental health problems.

Last year’s show raised $40,000.

The Olympian fell victim to depression as a teenager and has since been active in supporting organizations such as Do It For Daron and the Youth Services Bureau.

Do it For Daron was founded after 14-yearold Daron Richardson, the daughter of former NHL player Luke Richardson, committed suicide in 2010. The organization encourages young people to speak up when they are suffering through depression to get the help they need.

The cause is close to Alex’s heart, as a number of his friends knew Daron. “Many of my friends have been close to her so the whole event was tough for them,� he said. “I didn’t know her personally, but to watch my friends go through that kind of thing was hard.�

While they’re thrilled to be performing with

Talia Rancourt and Alex Gunther are set to participate in Liz Manley’s fundraiser.

some of the country’s best skaters, the young Nepean ice dancers said the event is about much more than just their sport. “It not only helps a lot of people to understand the issues, but also help to support the people affected,â€? said Talia, who attends Giselle Lalonde high school in OrlĂŠans. “As for me, I think it is important to support kids my age who are contemplating suicide. We have so much to live for, and nobody should be alone when going through hard times.â€?

Talia and Alex recently finished in 11th place in ice dancing at the Canadian National Championships in Kingston.

With the competition now behind them, Talia and Alex are preparing for Manley’s show and working on choreography for their routine.

The ice show, which is set to take place Feb. 14 at TD Place, will cap off a two-day fundraiser, which will start with a gala the night before.

Technology upgrades planned for six libraries Ottawa Public Library tables $45.1-million budget for 2015 Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The Ottawa Public Library plans to spend $45.1 million in 2015, including money for planning a new central library branch and upgrading technology for several local branches.

The Carp, Constance Bay, Fitzroy Harbour, Elmvale Acres, Ruth E. Dickinson and St. Laurent branches are slated to be upgraded to RFID technology (radio-frequency identification), which streamlines the process of checking materials in and out.

The technology, which the library began rolling out in 2012 starting with the Hazeldean branch, is aimed at freeing up staff time and speeding up the task of processing books and other library materials.

The proposed library budget tabled on Jan. 28 also includes $240,000 to continue planning for a suggested

File

The proposed 2015 Ottawa Public Library budget includes technology upgrades for RFID (radio-frequency identification) tracking systems to streamline material sorting at six branches across the city. new main library branch. The idea, which was part of Mayor Jim Watson’s re-election platform, would likely lead to a partnership between

the city and a private developer or business or another partner that could help provide a location and building for a new central library.

A consultant is currently working on a business case for the new main library and Watson said in his stateof-the-city speech on Jan. 28 that public consultations on the project will begin in March.

The library is also getting the ball rolling on a new library branch to be built somewhere in Gloucester-South Nepean Ward. The branch, which likely wouldn’t open until 2018, will be funded through development charges the city collects when new homes are built in the area.

Other improvements planned for 2015 include $70,000 to extend an entrance canopy at the Carlingwood branch, as well as $35,000 for new furniture and equipment – possibly computers or Chromebook tablets – for the soon-to-be-expanded Constance Bay branch.

Those are two of the smaller projects library staff intends to complete using $785,000 in leftover capital funds. That money has been sitting in several accounts since as long ago as 2010 due to a variety of reasons, including that some projects cost less than anticipated and other projects were abandoned due to changing the library board and city council changing strategies, said Monique

Désormeaux, the library’s manager of corporate services.

The rest of the money will go to a number of small, mostly technologybased initiatives focused on better equipping staff in branches that are using the RFID technology, Désormeaux said.

No service or staff reductions are planned for the library in 2015, she said.

Although the Ottawa Public Library has been facing shortfalls in its expected $150-million annual revenue from overdue fines, Désormeaux said the introduction of online payment is expected to improve fine collection, as is the recent re-opening of the busy Beaverbrook branch. Still, the library is accounting for less revenue from fines in the future.

Most of the reduction in anticipated revenue will be offset using funds from the library’s expected $1.03 million budget increase, Désormeaux said. Most of that increase, $625,000, will go towards contractual salary increases. Another $85,000 will boost the maintenance and grounds-keeping budget.

Citywide budget consultations are set to take place from Feb. 4 to March 1. Details for meetings across the city are posted on ottawa.ca.

The library board is expected to approve the budget at its meeting on March 3.

New train on display at Lansdowne until the end of March

step inside the demonstration train from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day until the end of March.

“We can imagine, clearer than ever, what it’s going to be like in 2018,” Watson said.

After the public viewing period is over, the mayor said the train will be used for operator training.

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

There’s now a tangible way to get a taste of the city’s transit future.

A mock-up of one of the new trains that will be used on the Confederation Line light-rail system is now on display at the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park.

Mayor Jim Watson said the unveiling of a demonstration model of the Alstom Citadis train is the most exciting milestone to date for the $2.1billion project, which will see trains running between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair Station by 2018.

“Until today, most of the milestones were, in fact, underground,” Watson said during the Jan. 29 train unveiling.

Although construction started in 2013, most of the work has involved tunneling under Queen Street downtown.

The public is invited to view and

Paige Lowe, a Grade 4 student at First Avenue Public School, is the first person to board the demonstration model of the Alstom Citadis train that will be used on the city’s LRT line starting in 2018. She was followed closely behind by Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau and other officials.

Residents question need to add lanes to Airport Parkway Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

While the city’s transportation planners are convinced that the Airport Parkway should be widened, many residents who came to a Jan. 26 open house told them to reconsider expanding the road.

Widening the parkway from two to four lanes between Brookfield and the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International airport is necessary due to population growth in the south end, according to the city’s transportation mas-

ter plan, but residents said the project will do no good if city planners don’t look at the larger impacts.

“I don’t think the whole picture is being looked at,” said Gayle Webber.

She was among 100 people who came to the open house to give their initial thoughts on an environmental assessment study looking at the possibility of adding lanes to the parkway. The meeting kicked off a study process that’s expected to take two years.

Webber and a number of other residents argued that

widening the Airport Parkway and Lester Road without widening Albion Road won’t do much good, because traffic coming from the south end in the morning peak commute will just get backed up on the two-lane road before reaching the Airport Parkway.

Colin Simpson, the city transportation planner in charge of the study, said Albion Road wasn’t included in the study due to affordability constraints in the transportation master plan.

cerned about traffic bottlenecks closer to downtown on Bronson Avenue.

“If you put lanes on the parkway, it will impact Bronson,” said Bill Danson, who lives near Hunt Club Road.

“You can’t just ignore it.”

Travel patterns show that motorists who use the parkway aren’t all going downtown in the morning, so many vehicles will exit the parkway before it turns into Bronson, Simpson said.

Jian Wu, who lives in South Keys, wondered about the possibility of using reversible lanes on the parkway, which would involve adding signals along the length of the road to indicate when more lanes are open for traffic heading downtown in the morning.

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 ferent 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.

Residents speak out during a Jan. 26 meeting kicking off a study on whether to add lanes to the Airport Parkway.

Many residents who shared their concerns during the meeting questioned whether widening the road would lead to any improvements or whether it could cause more traffic issues elsewhere.

Focus on transit, protecting wetland, residents tell city planners The signals would be used to reverse the lanes in the after-work peak period to ensure there are more lanes available for southbound traffic.

That option would be very expensive, said Ron Clark, a consultant from Parsons the city hired to work on the project. Moreover, the visual impact of the required signals would conflict with the parkway’s designation as a scenic entry route into the city. And despite appearances, the traffic volume is fairly balanced in both directions, Clark said.

The prospect of more traffic on a widened Lester Road troubled a number of residents, including Bev O’Hara, who said the traffic on Lester is already so heavy that she sleeps in her living room during the summer because the traffic noise is too loud in her bedroom facing Lester Road.

“The noise that exists now is unbearable,” she said, adding the vehicle exhaust fumes

are also an issue.

Deerfield Village resident Sharon Haig said the city should consider the current difficulties that local residents have in turning on or off Lester Road in fast-moving traffic. Preservation of the green space and wildlife habitat in the wetland around Lester Road is also important to area residents, Haig said.

O’Hara drew applause from the crowd when she said the road shouldn’t be widened at all due to the city’s investments in transit.

“Why are we widening roads to make it easier for people to use cars?” she asked. “We spent millions and millions of dollars on alternative forms of transportation ... Why bother?”

The Airport Parkway widening study is being done in conjunction with a study looking at extending the OTrain Trillium line south to Bowesville Road, with a potential spur to the airport.

Still, there will always be a percentage of the population for whom transit doesn’t fit

their needs, said Clark.

Although Simpson said the study so far has focused on double-checking the transportation master plan data that demonstrates the need for the extra lanes, Clark said the study team will be sifting through public feedback and “making a decision on whether to move forward or not” in the coming weeks.

The project has been on the city’s “to-do” list for decades, Simpson said, and most people who offered feedback in advance of the meeting were in favour of the road widening.

AIRPORT EXPANSION AND PATHWAYS

Simpson said he’s most excited about the other transportation options the roadwidening projects open up. A network of pathways would be built alongside the parkway, including an extension of the Sawmill Creek path to the EY Centre convention facility.

Grocery store quick-change scam artist wanted by Ottawa police

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Staff

Ottawa police fraud investigators are on the hunt for a London, Ont. man who is facing 16 criminal charges after they say eight different grocery stores in the city fell prey to quick-change scams last month.

In each case, police say the suspect approached a cashier to purchase a small item.

City Councillor, Kanata North RADON GAS

More than 120 residents attended the public information meeting on Radon Gas last week. Health Canada made it clear that every home in Canada has some radon in the air. High amounts over an extended time period can lead to health problems, including lung cancer, so it is important to test your home and do remediation if the level is high.

Testing is done over a 3 month period to get average levels. If your levels are low you don’t need to retest unless you make major changes to your home. Follow links on my website to Health Canada for more information.

PROGRESS ON SIDEWALKS OVER THE 417

Last week I had a meeting with representatives from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) as well as Councillor Hubley and City staff. We dealt with the 3 objectives I reported on last week, and all were addressed. MTO agreed to work with City staff to come up with changes to the ‘sidewalk’ on the west side of the bridge that would include ramps at the end for accessibility and be wide enough for snow equipment. Work required would be done before next winter. City staff indicated that sidewalks at both ends of the bridge were planned for 2017 and they are looking for ways to find funds to permit the work to occur in 2015. Residents can help by raising this at the budget meeting in Kanata. The third matter was removing snow this year. I’ve asked that staff find a way to remove snow after major snowfalls and I’ll report on the solution as soon as I hear back.

The meeting was very positive and also led to an agreement for the City and MTO to work more closely on MTO projects to ensure that safe crossings are available for pedestrians and cyclists as well as for vehicles.

“Once the transaction is completed, he requests change for big bills, confusing and interrupting the cashier as he/she is calculating the amount,” police said in a statement on Jan. 29.

“He then takes the money out of the cashier’s hands and starts counting it himself, placing some of the bills in his pocket while the cashier is still removing bills from the register.”

In each incident, the suspect then placed several bills on the counter and threw some into the open cash register – a distraction that allowed the suspect to pocket more money, according to investigators.

“By the end of this quick-change scam, he has defrauded a significant amount from the unsuspecting cashier.”

The distraction thefts are said to have occurred between Jan. 6 and 15 in the 600-block of Kirkwood Avenue and the 300-block of Carleton Avenue, both in west Ottawa, the 2500-block of Bank Street in South Keys, the 2200-block of Walkley Road, the 1600-block of Heron Road in Herongate, the 1700- and 1400blocks of Merivale Road in Nepean, and the 1000-block of Cyrville Road off St. Laurent Boulevard, according to Ottawa police.

A 47-year-old male suspect is facing a slew of charges in connection with fraud under $5,000 and proceeds of crime under $5,000.

Anyone with knowledge of the suspect’s whereabouts is asked to call the Ottawa police fraud unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5492, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

An Ottawa man is facing charges of possession of child pornography and making child pornography available following an online police investigation that led officers to a south Ottawa address.

A suspect was arrested and charged by officers with the Ottawa police Internet child exploitation unit on Jan. 26 after an Internet protocol address, which uniquely identifies computers and other devices, such as printers, on a network, was identified in connection with the possession and sharing of child pornographic images and videos, according to police.

“A search warrant was subsequently executed in the 1800-block of Walkley Road,” police said in a statement on Jan. 27. “Several computers and external devices were seized and are being forensically analyzed.”

A 51-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with two counts of possession of child pornography and one count of make available child pornography. He was scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing on Jan. 27.

Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the Ottawa police Internet child exploitation unit at 613-2361222, ext. 5644, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

The Ottawa Police Service is a member of a provincial strategy to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation on the Internet, a project funded by a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Ripley’s son was granted a trip to Disneyworld in Florida after he was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2002. He passed away in 2007.

Ripley said he and his family have raised about $5,000 in the past few years to try and repay the foundation for their gift.

COMMUNITY news

Family law matters–such as separation, divorce, and child custody–are, by their very nature, highly personal and private.

You may be concerned about maintaining your privacy as much as possible if you are involved in a family law case.

In order to settle these matters, the people involved are generally required to exchange information, such as financial records about income, assets, and debts. In some cases, other documents, such as medical or counselling records, police reports, or expert assessments on a variety of issues, might be required to determine the outcome. Most people would agree that this information can be highly personal and sensitive.

Will my information become public in a family law matter?

becomes part of the public record. There is also an “open court” principle that is very important in Canadian law that means that most legal proceedings, such as trials, are open to the public.

In some very limited circumstances, a court can order a file to be sealed, but it is quite unusual and difficult to get. Instead of sealing an entire file, a court may instead “sanitize” a file by, for example, using initials instead of full names, and removing specific references to private information, such as birth dates, addresses and other identifying information of the people involved.

Do I have options to keep my information more private?

Instead of going to court, some family law matters may be resolved through mediation, negotiation, arbitration, or a collaborative process. You will still usually need to exchange the same type of information, but because these are private settlements, the material you exchange does not need to be filed with the court and does not become part of the public record. In some cases, your lawyer might recommend that specific confidentiality clauses be negotiated in order to keep sensitive information private.

Kanata siblings star as youngest rebel in Les Misérables Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ain’t Seen Noth’n Yet production of the classic musical, “Les Misérables”, was packed with a powerful westOttawa cast, including two brand new stars to the stage.

While Jean Valjean, the musical’s main character, was played by Justin Hills, and Ain’t Seen Noth’n Yet artistic director Jennifer Fontaine played the role of the ill-fated Fantine, one of the play’s most adorable characters, Gavroche, was brought to life by Katimavik siblings Ella and Colin Samojlenko.

With four sold-out shows at Centrepointe Theatre from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, the pair of first-time actors had big shoes

to fill.

The siblings’ mom, Emily Samojlenko, a Les Misérables lover herself, was thrilled that Ella, the performer of the family, had a chance to try out for a role in the musical more than a year ago after being made aware of the opportunity by family friend and the show’s musical director, John McGovern.

“Colin was standing beside me,” said Emily, “and right then he said, ‘I want to audition. Do you think I’m a good singer?’”

With no further ado, Colin burst into song, said Emily.

It was decided that 10-yearold Ella, a gymnast, dancer and singer, as well as eight-yearold Colin, a hockey goalie, would try out, along with their

mom.

With some singing experience to catch up on, Colin took voice lessons, and proved his dedication to the part of Gavroche, the child revolutionary, by refusing to have his hair cut for a year to better look like a young street urchin.

Ella too ended up trying out for the role of Gavroche.

But rather than continuing their every-day sibling rivalry, the two banded together, helping to choose each-others’ costumes, giving acting and singing tips, and supporting each other as best they could, said Samojlenko.

Resolved to be happy for each other no matter which one of them got the part, they were both chosen to share Gavroche, with Ella taking the role the first and third night, and Colin on the second and fourth.

Samojlenko, who earned a small part for herself, was over the moon.

But Colin had a difficult decision to make – it was either hockey or the musical.

“It was really hard because I was weighing what was good about hockey and what was good about the play,” he said.

He chose the play, saying that he has enough time to play hockey for the rest of his life, but that getting to play Gavroche when he is the same

Despite her experience performing, Ella found her share of barricades to overcome as well, and no more so than on the day of her first performance.

“My voice was really giv-

ing up on me,” she said. In an effort to restore it before the performance, she took up residence in a small tent with a humidifier.

“I had Halls all day right before I went on, like literally five minutes before I went on,” she said.

Worried about how she would perform, Ella was praying “not to screw this up.”

But after her first song on stage, she realized she knew what she was doing, and started having fun.

‘They are each other’s biggest fans,’ says mom Continued from page 31

The show’s co-producer, Jean Fontaine, said he was thrilled with Ella and Colin. “They could do no wrong,â€? he said. “They had so much character out there ‌ and you know what, they did it. They did it perfectly.

No mishaps on their part, they were just like two real pros. It was amazing to watch.�

Their mother was also taken aback by their ability, watching from the wings as Ella playing Gavroche died on stage during one performance. “My eyes are filling up with water and I have to sing the next song,� she recalled thinking with a laugh.

Both Ella and Colin say they are hooked on performing, with plans to try out for upcoming plays and to keep singing.

But after this first performance sharing a role, Samojlenko said it’s clear, “They are each other’s biggest fans.�

More than 100 athletes fit for city sports awards Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

As the top athletes in the city gathered at Algonquin College on Jan. 29 for the 62nd annual Ottawa Sports Awards, the elite seemed to have one thing in common – they were busy doing what they do best.

Orléans trio Ivanie Blondin, Vincent de Haitre and Rachel Homan were all out of town, travelling to compete. Blondin and de Haitre, speed skaters who won female and male athlete of the year respectively, were both at a world cup event in Europe, and Homan, who leads the Rachel Homan rink, (named female team of the year), was also out of town. All were represented by their parents.

“This is a big honour,” said Bob Blondin, Ivanie’s father, who accepted her award. “She’s very proud and humbled.”

Basketball player Phil Scrubb, who picked up the male team of the year award for Carleton University, missed out on his own individual basketball award earlier in the night because he had basketball practice, which doesn’t end early so awards can be received.

It was a one-two punch in the athlete of the year group, as both Blondin and de Haitre got their start with the Gloucester Concordes, an Orléans speed

skating club.

“It’s kind of funny. It’s like it’s just not an experience without having (de Haitre) there with me,” Blondin said in an interview made available by the Ottawa Sports Awards. “I couldn’t be happier than to have him by my side receiving this award.”

Both competed in the Winter Olympics, and Blondin has had an amazing season on the World Cup circuit – she’s currently ranked first in the world in the mass start event.

De Haitre is a double threat, as an international competitor in both speed skating and cycling, competing in the Commonwealth Games as a cyclist following his Olympic debut at only 19.

“It makes it that much more special,” de Haitre said of being honoured alongside Blondin.

“Two local athletes from the same club who both move to Calgary, join the national team, reach our goals by making it to the Olympics, and now we’re looking forward to a long road ahead.”

The Cumberland native has also trained with the Ottawa Bicycle Club. He credited his dual sport success to youthful enthusiasm and ‘ignorance is bliss.’

Blondin said winning the award named after another Ottawa successful speed skater – Kristina Groves – was special

“Seeing that she’s gotten it in the past, to me, it makes it a little bit more meaningful. It’s almost as if I’m following in her footsteps, and I guess if I’m female athlete of the year, it means I’m on the right track,” Blondin said. “It’s cool for me to be able to say I’m that much closer to potentially being a world champion and being half as great as Kristina Groves was.”

The Carleton Ravens men’s basketball team won the male team of the year award – an honour they’ve taken home nine of the past 12 years.

The Rachel Homan rink also repeated as the female team of the year award winners, which they’ve won four of the past five years.

Male coach of the year was also from men’s basketball, but this time from the University of

Ottawa, as James Derouin, the Gee-Gees coach, took home the award. The Ottawa native captained the Gee-Gees as a player years ago.

The female coach of the year was Kanata’s Claudette Faubert.

The Special Olympics track and field team coach works with one third of the athletes who were selected for the national team for next year’s Special Olympics World Games. The volunteer coach is also a Special Olympics snowshoeing coach.

While the major award winners were announced, one athlete from every single sport as well as athletes from every team that won a provincial or national title were also honoured.

In all, more than 100 awards given out to the city’s best amateur athletes.

Cystic fibrosis, better known as CF, is an incurable genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of approximately 4,000 Canadians.

Their lungs clog up with mucus and prevent them from

breathing properly.

The digestive system also doesn’t allow the stomach to break down food at a normal rate, which requires patients to take enzymes with every meal.

Physiotherapy is needed to clear the mucus in the lungs, which can be performed in many ways. The current life

expectancy for people with CF is 50 years old.

Sara Cournoyer, a Grade 12 student at All Saints Catholic High School, has been battling this disease since her diagnosis at age one. Cournoyer still claims that she is like any normal teen. She has a job, a boyfriend, a loving mother, a dog that is her whole world

and the desire to share her message and raise awareness.

“I was encouraged to share for a project in religion class,” Cournoyer says, “I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time, but I feel like I would have gotten a lot of comments about me wanting the attention. Finally I just decided that I want to do this!”

The Kanata Kourier-Standard is a proud partner in education with All Saints Catholic High School

“A student newspaper partnership promoting responsible journalism in today’s youth”

The objective of the project was to choose a charity, research it, and present it to the class. Cournoyer teamed up with her classmate and friend, Petra van Eeghen, to inform their fellow peers about what she has been living with for the past 16 years her life.

Grade 12 student spreads the word about cystic fibrosis on the Internet Continued from page X

The seven-minute video titled “Cystic Fibrosis” that van Eeghen created, features clips of Cournoyer sitting in front of the camera and talking about her everyday struggles.

What was supposed to be a small presentation for Mrs. Hovey’s religion class, suddenly turned into an extensive amount of CF awareness. The video was shared with friends and family and received more than 5,000 views on YouTube. With over 80 per cent of viewers watching the video in its full length, Couronyer and van Eeghen accomplished their goal by sending a message to the public and making a difference.

In efforts of spreading her word to a broader spectrum, hashtags #SaraOnEllen and #BlueForCF trended over

Twitter in Ottawa in mid-November and generated plenty of buzz. Cournoyer planned an event at her high school and encouraged everyone in the community to wear as much blue as they could, in order to raise awareness for CF. Many were unaware about Cournoyer’s struggle before she spoke out about her life with CF. “Sara is so optimistic and passionate about telling people what CF is all about,” says Hovey. “She wants that awareness to be there, which I think is pretty amazing and selfless.”

Cournoyer plans on continuing raising awareness by fundraising, in hopes of finding a cure to this life-threatening disease. Donations can be made at CysticFibroses.ca.

Together, people can make CF stand for “cure found.”

Disneyfied teens rebel Melissa Savoie

All Saints Spectator

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why some women seem to be a little insane in the relationship department.

We can thank Disney. These happy endings are lies told to us since we were toddlers, and we need to wake up and smell the corruption.

We have grown up thinking that one day we will be saved by our Prince Charming. No guy is going to come striding in on a horse, with a bouquet of flowers and a 24 carat diamond ring. Not every romantic gesture is that grand, so maybe, be more appreciative of the small things.

Disney princesses have also set unrealistic expectations of how we should look and act. For instance we should always be dressed to impress.

Sorry, but I’m not wearing a ball

gown to go get groceries. Our hair must always be perfectly groomed, and makeup neatly painted all over our faces. Have you ever seen a princess with a pimple? I think not.

Think about it: Prince Eric falls in love with Ariel when she has lost her voice; therefore he’s really only into her because of her fishy appearance. Cinderella has to pretend she’s someone she’s not. Belle can’t leave or she’ll have consequences. Snow White lives with seven little men, and you wonder why she has no lady friends.

Apparently the average woman just doesn’t cut it anymore.

It seems like our only options are to completely alter ourselves until we look like replicas of one another.

The problem isn’t us, ladies. It’s our Disneyfied expectations. It’s time to take the power back and decide for ourselves.

It’s a real world after all.

Teenagers often feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities at school, working a part time job or fulfilling their volunteer hours. Prioritizing these things seems to be a big struggle for many but not for Grade 12 student Katie Kunst.

She perseveres with a positive attitude.

Kunst is a very-involved senior at All Saints Catholic High School. One of six members of the school student council, she regularly devotes her time to making the school a better place through activities and events.

Kunst also dedicates three afternoons a week to tutoring students in younger grades.

She understands that some

people need that extra support and she is more than happy to help.

Over the years, Kunst has also taken part in Peer Pals and the Act Team.

These programs have not only given her opportunities to help her peers but also provided her insight on leadership and how one person can make a difference. “The activities and clubs that I’ve joined throughout high school have enabled me to become the leader I am today,� Kunst says.

When Kunst is not at school, she can be found working one of her part time jobs. She feels the pressure of saving up for university and has taken on two jobs. “I’m constantly working, but I love it.�

When and if Kunst ever

has free time she can be found volunteering. Her father, owns Newgate 180, a facility dedicated to helping people struggling with addiction turn their life around.

She shares the same beliefs as her father and helping those in need. “As important as it is to take care of ourselves, it’s more important that we take care of those around us, so the world can be a better place,� she says.

Kunst is excited to see what the future will bring. She hopes to continue her studies at Queens University, and spread her message of giving back. Making a difference only requires time and effort.

Kunst is certain; being optimistic can bring you a long way.

All Saints is going Dutch Being a germaphobe: it’s a lifestyle choice All Saints Spectator

All Saints Catholic High School students have travelled far and wide over the years, exploring all corners of the globe.

This year, a group of students are going to get the chance to visit Germany and The Netherlands to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the Liberation of The Netherlands.

Teachers, Erin Stokes, Erika Erskine and Vanessa Kirtz, will chaperone students as they explore war-related historical sites in these European countries.

Each student going is assigned a soldier to pay tribute to overseas and will spend the months prior to departure researching their soldier.

Seeing how the students connect to those soldiers is one of the best parts, according to Stokes, who is the leader and organizer of the trip.

She has been planning trips like these for several years, marking this excursion her

eighth.

Stokes first became interested in these thanks to her history classes.

Speaking to her students about the places she’d never seen made her realize the importance of getting to see where so many sacrifices were made. It takes a lot of work to plan one of these trips; including gathering documents from each student, booking activities and events, and being responsible for 30 students while abroad.

But Stokes admits it pays off in the end, when she sees how deeply it engages the students.

“On Remembrance Day, my newsfeed is full of my past students reflecting on how touched they were by these trips,” says Stokes. “I love that.’

For Erskine, this is the third of these trips she’s been on – previously she has gone on a Vimy Ridge trip for its 95th anniversary and a Scotland and Ireland trip. It may be expensive, but she feels is definitely worth it as it is

such an amazing opportunity for students. Erskine chose to chaperone on this specific trip because it is a great opportunity to see what the Allied soldiers went through.

“I love watching students when they realize they are somewhere they’ve only read about or seen on television,” says Erskine.

“Often, they get much more emotional than they thought they were going to.”

This trip is Kirtz’s second, previously having chaperoned last year’s as well. She volunteered to go on said trips awhile back, and has been on the waiting list ever since.

She loves these trips, and especially enjoys seeing how excited the kids get, though she admits feeling the same excitement herself.

This will be an exciting opportunity and adventure for all those involved. Places like the Anne Frank House, Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and getting to meet veterans seem to be what everyone is looking forward to the most on this trip of a lifetime.

There are thousands of germs, thousands of diseases, thousands of ways you can get sick. No wonder we germaphobes are so obsessed with constantly cleaning our hands and staying away from anyone with the slightest cough.

A day in the life of a germaphobe is a little different than that of “a normal person”.

When leaving home, we germaphobes know to grab house keys and a bottle of hand sanitizer. We know we’ll need it.

Walking onto the bus we see you glide your hand up the railing.

Watching only makes us cringe and want to take out our Lysol, spray your hand, the rail, and every other passenger.

Think about the number of people who have touched that same piece of metal.

So we look like dummies eating fishy crackers from the bag with our mouths or not eating the ends of the French fries that we touch. Most people get sick because they eat with dirty hands -- so who’s the dummy now?

Do not expect us to use public bathrooms. There is not enough paper to cover the toilet seat and touching the lock button on the stall door is unsanitary.

So we demand the associate at Subway change their gloves to make only our sandwich. So we don’t share drinks. But we will share advice.

Not only did that pencil fall on the ground but it wasn’t even yours to begin with. The amount of germs you are putting in your mouth is outrageous -- why don’t you just lick the floor?

Then there’s lunch time, every germaphobe’s favourite time of day.

Do not place your unwashed hands anywhere near our fries or be prepared to buy us a new lunch. Do not sneeze or cough near us, or even slightly breathe on our food or else it is garbage.

Feminism: do you know what it means?

Claudia O’Brien

All Saints Spectator

Feminism: the belief that men and women are equal.

It’s simple, yet so often misunderstood.

There are people who think feminism is the belief that women are better than men. This is a misconception. As said earlier, feminism is gender equality.

Then there are women out there who are offended by the idea of feminism. They think it victimizes them: “I’m strong and independent. I don’t need people fighting for me,” they say.

Feminism isn’t making you or treating you like a victim.

It’s about empowering women.

It also advocates for those who cannot do so for themselves.

Stop making it about you.

You live in the United States and have equal rights? Fantastic.

But guess what? There are millions of other women who have not been blessed with that luxury. It’s also important to remember that feminism aims to stop stereotypes. It’s not just about changing people’s actions, but people’s mindsets as well. And regardless of where you were born, there are stereotypes that plague your gender.

And yes, feminism primarily focuses on women’s rights.

But that’s because it’s primarily women’s rights that are being violated. Out of the one billion people living in poverty, 70 per cent are females. Girls are three times more likely to be malnourished than boys. Globally, 65 million girls do not attend

primary or secondary school.

And no, I didn’t pull those statistics out of thin air. They came from a very legitimate source titled becauseIamagirl. ca. This organization has been fighting to end gender inequality for over 70 years. Check it out.

But, please don’t misunderstand me. I am aware that there are many people out there who know exactly what feminism means and simply disagree with the concept.

And that is their civil right.

I’m talking about the people who have a strong opinion on something they are improperly informed about.

Please ensure you understand the words you are using. You might be tearing down a cause you actually support.

Triple threat musician on the rise Lindsay Eastwood

All Saints Spectator

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go for dreams, you never know what you can do,â&#x20AC;? is the wise advice Grade 12 student, Angelique Francis, received on her musical journey.

This talented singer, songwriter, and musician is making her mark in the music world, but she is no stranger to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been singing ever since I can remember, and performing since I was seven.â&#x20AC;?

The young musician has taught herself to play seven different instruments, including, the upright bass and drums. The only lesson she has taken is performance lessons.

On top of her music commitments she is a leader within her high school as a part of a variety of clubs and councils. Luckily, Francis has organized her courses in a way that her clubs are incorporated into her classes. Time management and effort is definitely the key to her success throughout high school.

Submitted

Angelique Francis with one of the many instruments she taught herself to play.

But music isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a hobby for Francis. It is her lifestyle. She practices and produces for at least five hours every day. She is a multigenre artist although thoroughly

enjoys modern music.

Though she is typically shy, you would never know when she is up on stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel more confident while I am singing; I can express my emotions freely,â&#x20AC;? says Francis.

She finds inspiration for song writing from her own life experiences and even from watching television. Whatever the source, her music moves and touches her audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to reach the hearts of as many people as I can in hopes it will make life better for my listeners.â&#x20AC;?

Francisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; talent has brought her to perform at some of the biggest venues across Canada, including the Canada Walk of Fame and Gala, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBC Bluesfest, and the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inauguration. She also performed at the International Blues Summit in January.

Music has been and always will be a passion for Angelique Francis.

This talented singer, songwriter and musician is well on her way to show the world that, one day.

Being a teenager isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy Danielle Boucher

All Saints Spectator

Being a teenager is easy. You must go to school for six hours a day, do all of your homework from every class and get enough hours of sleep.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all.

On top of that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expected be involved in extracurricular activities, maintain a healthy diet, do chores around the house, work 15 hours at your part time job, make time for family and have a social life all while keeping a smile on your face.

God forbid you take a nap without your mom yelling in your ear for you to wake up and do something productive with your life.

At the age of 17, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting your odds into a university application, yet you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even legally buy a lottery ticket in hopes of funding your poor soul.

You go to Christmas dinner and your relatives ask you â&#x20AC;&#x153;so, do you

have a boyfriend yet?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;what are your plans for next year?â&#x20AC;? as you stuff your face with mashed potatoes.

And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the constant demand for answers.

Answers to the exam, answers to your friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s text messages, and answers to your late night thoughts.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teenagers, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to have all the answers; yet people expect us to.

Teens are expected to do a lot of things, but consequences do follow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; depression and lack of self-esteem are just an example of this.

To put things in perspective, in Ontario alone, one out of five teenagers suffer from some type of psychiatric disorder.

The pressure put on teens nowadays is too much and people fail to recognize this.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong; being a teenager is easy . . . when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a teenager.

Reflecting on the year that was

T

he beginning of a new year, for most of us, is a time to reflect on the year that has just past.

As a writer, I look back at many columns I should have done differently, and there are one or two which would have been better had they never seen the light of day.

However, there is little that can be done about either case at this late date.

What I can do, with the gracious consent of my long suffering editor, is tell my readers a few of the things that continue to make my work both challenging and gratifying, and certainly interesting. Perhaps in doing so, I can enlighten those who have asked questions, given me advice, and shared with me, their own stories over the year.

There were columns, some more than others, which elicited questions from readers on those people I write about.

MARY COOK Memories Are they real? Did they ever exist? Where are they now?

Sometimes, to protect the innocent, I create a fictitious name, but the people I write about, did indeed exist in my early life, and the episode, did in fact happen. For instance, Marguerite (and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not stupid enough to call her by her right name) is really a compilation of all the bad little girls I went to school with over the years, and the episodes happened at various times and in various places, but were in fact, actual.

Was there really a Velma, Joyce, Cecil, and a Miss Crosby? What about my rich Uncle Lou? Or my three

brothers and my beloved sister Audrey? Was there an Aunt Lizzie who regularly augmented our meager wardrobes with a hand-me-down box from Regina? And what about my mischievous cousin Ronny? Where are these people now? Every one of the aforementioned were very much a part of my growing up on the farm at Northcote, and very, very real indeed.

But sadly, all have passed on, the most recent being my dear friend Joyce just a few months ago.

Let me highlight just one other. Uncle Lou, my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, was indeed her rich brother from New

York. Long before he married and had children of his own, he gave us much joy and bestowed on my mother countless good deeds to make her life easier on that farm in Renfrew County. If you still wonder if he did exist, you can ask his daughter Mary Lou Walker, who lives outside of Perth, and she will attest to the honesty of the stories, and my depiction of an uncle, her father, who brought so much joy to our lives during those Depression years.

I am forever grateful to those readers who can add another dimension to a story I have written. One reader recently referred to the story of my Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief that only someone of fair hair should be the first person over the thresh hold in the new year.

He said, his memory was that of only a person with black hair who could be admitted first. That brought about memories for both of us of a piece of coal which was brought into the house by the first visitor, to ensure good luck for the coming year. And

so it goes: memories written, memories shared.

And then there are those loyal readers whose mission in life is to keep me on my toes. One such reader sends me letters, which are a joy to read, even though they might be a reprimand for a breach of good grammar, or a word misspelled. He is always a gentleman and a true scholar, and I want him to know every letter he writes I take very seriously, and try, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always succeed in living up to his very high standards.

It is very gratifying to me to know the column is often recycled and sent off to faraway places, which in turn brings me mail from places I have never heard of, and introduces me to people who become friends. Two come to mind: A gentleman from Kitchener writes long, wonderful letters, describing in detail, his life, his home, his activities and his mission in life.

His letter is wrapped around packets of imported teas as a token of appreciation for the joy he says the column brings

him.

One of the most cherished readers the column has elicited is a young man, still in his early teens, who had his father drive him all the way from his home in the Upper Ottawa Valley to meet me.

What an honour that was.

It is heartwarming indeed to know that my simple stories appeal to people of all ages, and this young man proves to me that memories told, hold no boundaries and appeal to people of all ages.

Just a few days ago I was sent a picture of a very young girl, curled up on a couch, reading a Mary Cook story.

And so I go into another year with gratitude and with hope. I am truly grateful to this paper for giving me the privilege of telling my stories. I am indebted to those loyal readers who take the time to send their feedback.

I appreciate that the families left, of those who have passed on, have given me permission to continue to include their loved ones in my stories.

Every letter is cherished: Cook Continued from page 44

Every letter, every email is cherished, and all are answered.

Although I often have to rely on email if an address is lacking, I am an inveterate letter writer, and I am sure one of Canada Post’s best customers.

And so it is with heartfelt gratitude to you, devoted readers, who are the real heroes of my stories, that I give my thanks.

Without you, there would be no reason to write of my memories of that special time in my life. And of course, for this paper for giving me a venue, I offer

my appreciation.

May 2015 be a time when you too will want to make note of those times in the year, which were special to you, and may you remember those people who will have touched your days in a meaningful way, so that they too will become cherished memories, and become part of the fabric in your own book of life.

School wins cash to build accessible playground Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

R0013117749

Come September, 12-year-old Marco Tocchi will be playing with the big kids.

Gone will be a 30-year-old wooden play structure and sandcovered playground at Clifford Bowey Public School that would have kept Tocchi and his wheelchair on the sidelines, once he graduates in June to the school’s senior program.

Last week’s announcement that the school had won a $100,000 grand prize from the Aviva Community Fund will allow construction to go ahead this summer on the construction of a new fully accessible playground for senior students ages nine to 21 – funding that would have taken parent volunteers three to four more years to raise.

“Now he’ll be able to play with whatever friend he wants to play with and go do what they’re doing,” said Marco’s mother, Cathy Lambert-Tocchi, a member of Clifford Bowey’s school council of parent volunteers.

“It’s overwhelming,” she said of the news the project had

earned enough online votes last December to win one of the top prizes in the competition. “It’s really, really nice because he can be part of it.”

Teachers, staff and parents at the school, which services 104 developmentally challenged students ranging from four to 21 years old who live east of the Rideau River, waited with fingers crossed for more than a month in the lead up to the Jan. 27 announcement.

Lambert-Tocchi suspected something was afoot when fellow parent volunteer Françoise Slaunwhite invited her to come to the school Jan. 27.

“I knew there was something,” she said with a smile.

Standing at the back of the gym, she held an iPad to videotape the assembly and held back her own cheers upon learning the school had won in order to better capture the excited reactions erupting around her.

Still, happy tears welled in her eyes.

Raymonde Barbeau, chair of the school council, screamed in delight and shock after learning of the victory just minutes before the news was officially revealed along

Clifford Bowey Public School council chair Raymonde Barbeau, left, principal Laurie Kavanagh, and parent volunteers Cathy Lambert-Tocchi and Françoise Slaunwhite will soon say goodbye to the school’s outdated playground behind them.

Their school won a top $100,000 Aviva Community Fund prize on Jan. 27 for the construction of a new accessible playground, which gets underway this summer.

Gang exit strategy wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;millionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: Crime Prevention Ottawa Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Given the size of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gang population, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed gang exit strategy will not require a price tag of â&#x20AC;&#x153;millions,â&#x20AC;? the executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa said at a recent meeting.

Ottawa has a gang population of 485, which works out to 55 gang members per 100,000 residents, said Nancy Worsfold, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. Los Angeles has 45,000 gang members and a rate of 1,100 gang members for every 100,000 residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a client base of 45,000 you can spend millions. But in Ottawa, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a potential client base thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much smaller, you need a different approach,â&#x20AC;?

Worsfold told the Crime Prevention Ottawa board of directors at a meeting on Feb. 2.

Crime Prevention Ottawa declined to give specifics as to how much the program

would cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office as well as other city departments to see how much money we can get,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Shad Qadri, who serves as chairman of the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the present time we have not identified a number.â&#x20AC;?

Crime Prevention Ottawa launched the Ottawa Gang Strategy in 2013, a long-term plan aimed at tackling gang issues. But the plan lacked an exit strategy to help gang members get back on their feet after they are released from prison.

Prompted by a recent rash of gang shootings, Mayor Jim Watson recently announced he is working to secure funding for an exit strategy through the budget after the city saw 49 shootings in 2014.

At the recent board of directors meeting, Worsfold unveiled some details of the strategy, which will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;case managementâ&#x20AC;? program run in partnership with the John Howard Society and the Ottawa Community Immigrant

Services organization.

It seeks to provide adult gang members with a case worker who will deal with them on a one-on-one basis to make sure they get the services they need.

Crime Prevention Ottawa has identified three specific times in a gang memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life when they are most vulnerable to being steered away from gangs: when they leave jail, when they are seriously injured and when they become a parent.

The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilitators will start working with gang members when they are inside prison to form relationships with them. Once they are out, the workers will try to help provide them with housing and family counselling.

Worsfold said the organization is aiming to have up to 30 gang members leave their criminal past behind them every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to reimagine themselves as someone worthwhile in a completely different law-abiding manor,â&#x20AC;?

Are you suffering with high

blood pressure, muscle pain, restless legs and twitchy eyelids?

You need MAGsmart a delicious powdered magnesium glycinate formula to calm restless legs , soothe muscle pain , stop heart palpitations, normalize blood pressure and aid restful sleep .

MAGsmart is the best form of magnesium because it is the only magnesium that crosses the blood brain barrier, helping those with headaches and anxiety , and it does not cause explosive diarrhea like other magnesium supplements. MAGsmart also stops the pain of fibromyalgia . Take MAGsmart at bedtime to improve sleep, stop anxiety and restless legs. Nothing works faster than MAGsmart too get g rid of muscle pain .

she said.

Key to the process is ensuring they replace their criminal income with a legal job and that they form healthy relationships with non-gang-related individuals, said Worsfold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There needs to be real viable options for them for a decent life going forward,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Worsfold stressed that while the strategy aims to work with 30 gang members a year, the program can only help them if they are willing participants. The city should not expect to see immediate results, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is also a long process. Major life transitions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in a week or a month,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, updates the board on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new gang exit strategy at a meeting on Feb. 2.

Clifford Bowey ‘overwhelmed’ by community support “I was on Cloud 10 watching them on Cloud 9,” said Barbeau, whose daughter Marie-Helene attends the school.

Slaunwhite, who helped spearhead the school’s first ever community dinner and silent auction last November that raised $14,000 for the project, was the first to breathe a sigh of relief when Aviva representatives called her the week before.

During the call, she told the two Aviva fund officials her daughter attends Clifford Bowey.

“And then they said, ‘Well, Nathalie is going to have the best $100,000 playground that (the school) could ever have,’ and then they clapped in the background,” she recalled. “I was shaking. I’m sure I had a huge smile on my face.”

The shock is only now beginning to give way to excitement.

“Just the whole magnitude, it’s still sinking in for me right now, just what it means to the

school and what it means in terms of how the school really came together and all of Ottawa and outside of Ottawa,” she said of the 6,299 votes received between Dec. 1 and 10 that placed the project among the top 20 entries out of more than 700 across Canada that competed for funding. “It just shows how concretely the support that is out there for our students and just for all of Ottawa.”

The new play structure, which will feature ramps and a wheelchair-accessible picnic table as well as a specially designed swing, will be available for Clifford Bowey students during school hours and open to the public the rest of the time.

“Our new play structure will allow full access, so our students who do use wheelchairs and walkers and have mobility challenges will be able to play alongside the students who don’t,” said principal Laurie Kavanagh.

The new play equipment and rubberized surface will

give Slaunwhite’s five-anda-half-year-old daughter Nathalie a completely different play experience.

The rubberized surface will cushion any falls, and without the sand to distract her, she will spend more time playing on the equipment.

“So it is a playground where I can bring all of my kids,” the mother of five said. “The whole concept of the playground does make it inclusive.

Now this is a place where anyone who has a special needs child can bring their family to our playground and everyone can play.”

The project would have taken several more years to realize without the community’s support, said Kavanagh.

Last fall, the Community Foundation of Ottawa provided a $15,000 grant to the project.

And the school’s parent council generated almost $40,000 in the last two years, and is already looking to raise more money through the school’s annual swim-a-thon,

from Feb. 9 to 20. Playground funding is also coming from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, and the school is waiting to hear back on additional community grant applications.

“We couldn’t have done this alone,” Kavanagh said. “It really was a community effort.”

The school’s principal already has her sights set on another large-scale project that will also benefit her students, helping them to learn valuable safety lessons in an interactive outdoor learning environment.

Efforts will ramp up this spring to develop the design and budget for a safety village on a vacant plot of land at Clifford Bowey. Then fundraising efforts will begin.

“There’ll be some stop signs, stop lights, because we do have our adapted bikes, so the (students) can go out and bike on the paths that we’ll create,” Kavanagh said of the project, first envisioned by a school staff member who pitched the idea about two

years ago.

“We’re always trying to find new ways to reach them through equipment and technology and we rely heavily on our resources, such as our occupational therapist, our physiotherapist,” she said.

“It’s important that we collaborate with them to make

sure that we’re meeting all of the sensory modalities of our students.”

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds?

By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates

Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the

plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualified beneficiary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily.

Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO

is designated as a direct beneficiary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the beneficiary on the plan documentation

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

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

with the financial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall financial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own financial planner or one of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee members.

Findlay Creek school funding expected this year: trustee ‘All that development and there’s not a single school:’ city councillor

this school was a major factor in the rapid growth of Findlay Creek, and the long promised but repeatedly delayed project is creating great concern among all residents,” Coun.

Michael Qaqish wrote in a letter dated Jan. 21 to Minister of Education Liz Sandals.

The community’s population has risen to about 7,800 people and approximately 2,500 homes, reason why the councillor has asked for the province’s “urgent support.”

“All that development and there’s not a single school,” he said in an interview, adding that some families have moved out of the community due to lack of schools in the area, while others even now are considering relocating.

“A lot of people were led to believe they’d have one by now.”

“Firm assurances” that a new school would be built by 2014 were first made by the school board to residents in 2006 and have been repeated “virtually every year since,” Qaqish told Sandals, adding

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Provincial funding for the construction of the first public elementary school in Findlay Creek is likely on its way this year, according to the public school trustee for the area.

“The ministry is very likely to provide funding for the school in 2015,” Zone 7 public school trustee Mark Fisher said in an email.

In a letter to Ontario’s minister of education, the new councillor for the GloucesterSouth Nepean ward recently added his voice to repeated calls for provincial dollars – the final step needed to make the kindergarten to Grade 8 school a reality.

“The commitment to build

that the school board recently changed its priority ranking of the new school from third to fifth to eighth place.

In the letter he made mention that he understands the ministry will “consider and determine” funding for eight new schools in Ottawa, which have been included by the school board on a prioritized list.

We don’t want to be in the situation where we’re scrambling to … find a solution in the eleventh hour coun. michael qaqish

The growth in the community, coupled with the Department of National Defence’s decision to not renew the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s lease of Elizabeth Park Public School at

the former Uplands base past 2017 makes the need for a new Findlay Creek school very time-sensitive, said the councillor who ideally would like to see a new school open in time for September 2017.

“That’s where the vast majority of kids in Findlay Creek go,” he said and referenced 2012 statistics that reveal 190 Findlay Creek students attended Elizabeth Park Public School that year.

“We don’t want to be in the situation where we’re scrambling to … find a solution in the eleventh hour.”

School board officials are expecting to hear soon from the province on capital projects “and I expect that the Findlay Creek project will be at or very near the top of the list given that Elizabeth Park Public School is slated to close in 2017,” Fisher said, adding that this closure will displace hundreds of schoolchildren – most of them Findlay Creek residents.

For that reason, “we really are approaching an emergency situation because it takes time to complete a project like this from conceptual planning, permitting,

construction and relocation,” said the school trustee, who, in the leadup to the 2014 municipal election last fall, said he hoped the province would announce in February when the school would be constructed.

A parcel of farmland east of the intersection at Kelly Farm and Findlay Creek drives has already been zoned for the school, and the school board has earmarked $1.3 million in its budget for the pre-design of the

new facility.

“I’m working hard to make this project a reality, and while we have experienced a number of bumps along the way, we are getting close to having shovels in the ground,” Fisher said.

Brookfield student apartment plans questioned by residents erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Two options are on the table for the first phase of a proposed student apartment complex for 770 Brookfield Rd. to allow concerned residents to choose a taller structure in exchange for more of a buffer between the property and nearby backyards.

Eight versus six storeys looked much more appealing to Shannon and Dave MacDonald, who joined more than 50 people at a public presentation on the project held at Brookfield High School on Monday, Feb. 2.

“I don’t mind the higher storeys, but I really like them pushed back,” Shannon said following the presentation, attended by the project’s architect, Barry Hobin, officials with real-estate development company Redfoxco, which owns the property, River Ward Coun.

Riley Brockington, River Zone public school trustee Shirley Seward and city planner Simon Deiaco.

The six-storey design includes a 15.8-metre setback al-

lowance between the complex and neighbouring backyards.

An eight-storey option would translate into a 26.5-metre setback.

Both designs would accommodate surface parking and landscaping.

The site is currently zoned for up to nine storeys.

The eight-storey design is a trade-off the MacDonalds may be willing to consider in exchange for more space between the backyard of their home on Egan Road and the back of three proposed apartment buildings that would accommodate 1,200 to 1,500 student tenants in 540 units. The first building would feature 180 units.

“I like that extra distance,” said Shannon. “And they can build in additional landscaping that gives us additional privacy, that extra space.”

The public consultation meeting was just one step in the company’s bid to seek approval of a site control plan application. The current plan is for a six-storey structure.

“I have to say it’s very rare to

see two options considered during the plan’s review,” said city planner Simon Deiaco.

Ottawa architect Barry Hobin, project manager Gavin MacDonald and Deiaco fielded a number of questions about the proposed development concerning parking, shading, noise from students, vehicles and ventilation systems, safety of homeowners and Brookfield High School, as well as worries over subletting and the potential for partying.

There will be three rental options for one and two semesters as well as for the full year.

“The benefit of this type of project is as an owner and operator, we’ll control that so the student doesn’t have to worry about subletting,” said Gavin MacDonald.

Larry Cassie, who has lived on nearby Garner Avenue for 38 years, said he would welcome students to the neighbourhood, but the design of the back of the complex holds little aesthetic appeal to him because he said it resembles one big wall.

Architect Barry Hobin said

the residences will offer staggered sections and other design features.

“It’s not like going to Barrhaven where there’s a little bit of brick on the front of the building and a vinyl siding behind,” he said.

“The sense is that this is just going to be short term.

People are just going to come in, go nuts and bugger off.”

Dave MacDonald, neighbour

Unlike Cassie, Dave MacDonald is worried about being neighbours with students who won’t have a vested interest in the community.

“The sense is that this is just going to be short term. People are just going to come in, go nuts and bugger off,” he said.

“But with a condo it would be nice because there’s at least a

commitment to the community.”

His brother and neighbour, John MacDonald, would prefer a mix of high rises and two- and three-storey townhomes in the area rather than what he calls “a long-term hotel.”

“Bringing students in I don’t see how that’s going to be of any value to the community because students are there for one or two years so they don’t really have any, I believe, concern for the community because they’re not going to live in it for the rest of their lives,” John said.

When asked for assurances that neighbourhood safety would be a priority for Redfoxco, Gavin MacDonald said the complex will have 24/7 security.

“We cannot let it go down … because if it is, if it gets that reputation, we won’t be able to rent it,” he said.

The project was also met with optimism, with one man at the meeting saying he has watched over the last 10 years as doctors and dentists have moved out of the area, which

has struggled to maintain its current retail sector.

“I would personally hope that that kind of development would attract those kinds of resources back to our community,” he said.

On the ground floor, the mixed-use development could accommodate a total of 1,393 square metres of retail and commercial space, including 464 to 557 square metres in the first building.

“We feel strongly that the project is a connector in the community because of the bicycle path, because of the pedestrian walkway, because of the link to the residents to the south, (and) that we’re all within that 600 metres of that … (Confederation Heights) train station,” said MacDonald, the project manager. “So the connectivity is important and the commercial will enhance that.”

Redfoxco is hoping the first building in the project would be ready for September 2016.

The public has until Feb. 22 to provide feedback on the proposal.

On Jan. 15 at approximately 4 p.m., a lone male entered a bank in the 100 block of Bank Street, demanded money and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. His face was partially covered with a scarf and hood.

On the same day, at 5:45 p.m., a lone male entered a bank on the 0-100 block of Bank Street and demanded money. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

A Jan. 23 incident saw a lone male enter a bank in the 100 block of Kent Street and demanded money. After being approached and asked to remove his sunglasses, the man fled without any money.
