Don’t expect more buses travelling from Kanata to downtown Ottawa anytime soon, he told residents. The downtown core is already at full capacity during morning and afternoon rush hours. Until the first stage of the light rail project is complete in 2019, the city only has two options, said Scrimgeour: put bigger buses on the road – either double deckers or articulated buses – or shuffle routes in Kanata.

The project, from start to finish, would cost $4.5 million, said a church deacon. The parish hopes to raise $2.5 million and take out a $2 million mortgage.

EDITORIAL

Schedule ‘you time’ in 2011 Another year on the calendar looms ahead and our thoughts naturally turn towards making a New Year’s resolution.

Quit smoking, work less, lose weight, get active, take a vacation or go back to school.

A good resolution that many forget about is scheduling “you time.”

It’s important take the time to recharge and refresh yourself; a healthy work-life balance demands time out.

All work and no play is a recipe for mental and physical disaster. So if you have trouble freeing up time to do the things you enjoy, write time regularly into your schedule to “meet with yourself ” and stick to that commitment. If you won’t invest in yourself, who will?

If you’re like most people, you spend lunch time on the phone or trying to catch up on

paperwork. You try to fulfill your family commitments and other obligations. You fit in a few more hours of work in the evening, or even pull an occasional all-nighter when a deadline looms.

And you feel especially stressed because there’s never enough time, no matter how hard you work.

It’s not the amount of time that matters, but our perception of it and that depends upon our attitude.

We can all remember occasions when time seemed to pass so excruciatingly slowly it was frozen, or weeks that seemed to whiz by.

Time is fixed, but our perception of it isn’t.

Our basic biology is also fixed. Most people need a period of time each day to recharge themselves. They need a certain

amount of time to reflect, to enjoy, to energize, or to simply pause - to do something that gives them respite or pleasure so they can deal with the stresses of the day.

So think about yourself. What is it that you like or need to do that will refresh you and allow you to return to the fray with a clearer head and more energy?

Whatever it is, schedule it into your day, as you would any business-related activity.

Think of it as a meeting with yourself.

And stick to it just as religiously as you would if it was a meeting with a client. That daily half hour or hour that you schedule for you will more than repay the time invested.

It will make you better able to cope with stress, more productive in your work, and better tempered.

You read it here first: What won’t happen in 2011 Since it is extremely risky to predict what will happen in the year ahead, more prudent predictors like to predict what won’t happen. Sticking oneself way out on a limb, here goes.

In 2011, the following won’t happen: — The tunnel won’t be dug under downtown Ottawa. This is partly because of the most recent revelations about bedrock, soil or whatever it is and partly because people looked at the estimated four years of construction and concluded that four years of Albert Street was marginally better than four years of no Albert Street. But it is mostly because people are thinking: “A tunnel? Under downtown Ottawa? Are you kidding?” Upon learning that Albert Street is not going to be a tunnel, certain people will demand that it become a bicycle path.

— Gasoline prices will not hit $2 a litre.

They will stop at around $1.98. Those who hoped that higher gas prices would cause people to drive less will be disappointed.

This is because people will be driving all over town trying to find gas that costs less than $1.98.

— There will not be great disappointment over the non-construction of the Albert Street tunnel. An exception will be those who hoped most of the buildings on Albert Street would be put underground as

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town well.

— The Lansdowne Park development won’t happen. Neighbourhood pressure might be a factor. And with the CFL, you never know. They might decide to expand into Latin America instead of Ottawa. But the main factor will be the Ex. No matter what anyone says, the Ex is never leaving Lansdowne Park. And no one wants to live in new housing that has a ferris wheel outside the window.

— The Senators will not win the Stanley Cup. There’s a shocker.

— The four-laning of Highway 7 between Carleton Place and Ottawa won’t be finished. Once it’s finished the provincial government will have to take down all those signs about how hard it’s working for us. Highways are always more politically useful while they’re being built than when

they’re finished. So it’s important to keep the work going as long as possible. They’ve done a good job of it so far.

(As a special bonus, here’s a prediction about what won’t happen in 2012: Once the highway is completed, the traffic won’t be any lighter. This is in line with the principle that says the more lanes are available the more cars will fill them. No one know where those extra cars come from, but there may be a secret factory somewhere.)

— Lawn chairs won’t be banned at Bluesfest. It is difficult to overstate the important of lawn chairs to the local economy.

Not only do people invest heavily in lawn chairs, but they also buy larger vehicles to carry them around and, needless to say, look for venues to take them to. Fortunately, the Bluesfest organizers realize this.

—Drive-thru doughnut shops will not be banned, despite concerns about air pollution from idling cars. To the contrary, the drive-thru trend will continue. The latest: drive-thru taxidermists.

— In a related development, moose will not be banned from suburban streets. City council will consider enacting a bylaw to this effect. But animal experts will dissuade them, saying that most moose do not read signs well and those that do will just become angry, which no one wants.

As a consequence, council will decide that moose will be allowed to roam the streets as long as they have a permit.

— Mayor Jim Watson will not attend every public event in the city. A duplicate bridge tournament in Highland Park will somehow escape his attention and he will unaccountably be absent from a tribute to Citizen columnist Randall Denley. Everything else he’ll be at.

— The NCC will not allow further construction on LeBreton Flats. Asked about the vast acreage of empty space, a spokesperson will say: “We’ve only been at this since 1960. Don’t rush us.”

Members of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, Walter Baker chapter, recently held a housewarming for Cathleen Lavoie, second from right, who was left paralyzed after she was shot in the neck by her ex-boyfriend in 2008. The order gave Lavoie a new sofa, various appliances and an entertainment unit for her apartment, which she will move into on Jan. 5. Lavoie has been living in a seniors residence since her injury. Her children will now be able to visit and sleepover.

In two days, I will join my family for Christmas. It is a time to spread goodwill where we can, and celebrate that for which we are thankful.

While I’m there, I hope to see my parents’ old friend, François d’Orglandes.

François is an artist whose family is known for taking in less fortunate strangers for dinner on Christmas Eve. They personify the “kindness of strangersâ€?. They make it easier to build healthy, secure, vibrant communities.

In the same way, The Ottawa Hospital beneďŹ ts from remarkable community support.

What our community leaders, philanthropists and, in many cases, your neighbors have achieved this year is impressive.

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s 20/20 Campaign raised $24.5 Million for a new Cancer Centre at the General Campus, as

206-2 Beaverbrook Rd., Kanata Beaverbrook Centre (formerly Calian Centre)

well as the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

The community’s contributions have made a meaningful difference.

They have allowed the centralization of nine radiation machines at the General Campus; added 15 new chemotherapy chairs, for a total of 50, to the cancer program; offered more natural light and comforting clinical environments to cancer patients; and provided them and their families with easy, comfortable access to outdoor areas. All of this will help the recovery process.

There’s more. Our community has donated over $2 million dollars to research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Most recently, they have made possible the acquisition of CyberKnife, a revolutionary radio-surgery system that can eliminate the need for invasive surgery in many cases.

Soon, they will enable us to fund the installation of the Canadian Forces CAREN system, a virtual reality simulator to assist the rehabilitation of Canadian Forces combat casualties, as well as the other patients.

This generosity improves the quality of care patients receive every day. Donations make a real difference. In other words, the community is the hospital’s foundation. To ďŹ nd out more, visit www.ohfoundation.ca 437464

In the absence of a mother Katimavik woman starts program to help orphaned Ugandan girls

“When my mom passed away it presented a problem as to what to do with them,” she said, but other family members were able to take the girls in.

Many others don’t have that possibility.

Instead, they trade themselves for items such as a bar of soap, said Namulindwa.

“These girls are 13 to 14 years old, they have bodies that don’t match up with their ages.”

JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Jessica Cunha photo

Two rooms in Susan Namulindwa’s beautiful Katimavik home are filled to bursting with hand-crafted pieces of jewelry, lovely paintings done on tree bark, quilted bags, statues and little dolls.

The items have travelled all the way from Luweero, Uganda, where Namulindwa is helping to keep orphaned girls from a life of prostitution through the creation of Maama Watali.

She created the program to help keep teenage females off the street and to teach them how to become self-sufficient.

“It gives them a chance to be independent – it keeps them from the streets,” said the mother of four.

Namulindwa, who is originally from Luweero, went back to her village in 2007 for her mother’s funeral.

She said she was astonished by the number of young girls with babies who turned to prostitution out of desperation.

“It just kind of struck me,” she said. “A lot of the girls just don’t have anywhere to go.”

Many of the girls who fall victim to the streets have no family because they have been wiped out by AIDS, said Namulindwa, who lost both of her sisters to the disease.

Her sisters’ daughters had been living with her mother.

MAAMA WATALI Maama Watali teaches the girls to make a variety of handmade items, such as the paintings, dolls, jewelry and handbags that line the walls and tables of Namulindwa’s house, as a way to earn money.

“If they have something to do and a bit of money it keeps them from being desperate,” she said.

Those with nowhere to go are taken in by an adoptive mother to provide them with a home and teach them life skills.

Three orphaned girls are living in her mother’s house, said Namulindwa.

“It is different from just giving them donations or hand-outs,” she said. “It holds them accountable.”

The program focuses on helping girls ages 13 to 18.

“It’s not that the boys don’t have challenges of their own but they’re not as vulnerable,” said Namulindwa.

She said she tries to visit at least twice a year to pick up the hand-crafted items and give the girls money to buy more supplies and take care of themselves. When she can’t go, she enlists the help of her family members.

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Fifty locations in Ottawa will give residents and visitors access to 500 rentable bikes this spring, if all goes to plan.

After a slow start and lack of interest from companies, the National Capital Commission (NCC) is set to roll out its bike sharing service, in partnership with the cities of Ottawa

and Gatineau.

The service would allow people to rent a bike for short periods (it’s targeted at one-way trips) or buy a subscription to use the service on a monthly or yearly basis.

The bikes will be available at stations around the capital region, mainly in downtown, and the bikes can be returned to any location.

“This bike-share service lays

the groundwork for a broader, more progressive initiative that can see residents, workers and visitors of the capital region travelling in an environmentally sustainable way,” Leduc said.

While the NCC is taking the lead on the program, all three groups will pay for it – and it’s not yet clear how much the program will cost or how those expenses will be divided.

“The agreement to work together on the bike share is in place,” said Jasmine Leduc, a spokesperson for the NCC. “The nitty gritty of it, how much will the city be investing, what are the roles, what are the responsibilities – that still needs to be narrowed down. I know they’re working on it.”

A 2009 feasibility study found that the capital cost to set up the program could be between

$3 and $3.9 million. Operating costs were estimated at $1.25 to $1.75 million for the first year.

Including both user fees and subscriptions to the service, the study found it could generate around $2.2 million to $2.45 million in revenue (those estimates were for 2010, but the NCC couldn’t get the program running in time for that year).

Education

‘Maybe set a grenade in the engine?’: Student Grade 3 children help All Saints students design web-based educational games BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

The Grade 3 classroom at Georges Vanier Catholic School fell silent as the children watched an animated boat slowly sink into the Ottawa River on a SMART board.

“Oh!” the students cried as they waited for the inevitable.

Suddenly a shark jumped into the boat and ate the hapless passengers.

“Bye bye,” said the children.

The eight-year-olds gave a definitive thumbs up for the Float Your Boat game, designed on Adobe Flash 2.0 by a team of Grade 11 students at All Saints Catholic High School.

The game is a major project for All Saints’ focus program in its web-based programming course this year – part of the high school technology program created by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI) in partnership with IBM and the Ottawa Software Cluster.

The Georges Vanier students helped the All Saints students to design the games – acting as a consulting group and suggesting improvements, like brighter animation colours or, in the case of Float Your Boat, including sharks in the river to make the canoe trip a little bit more interesting.

The All Saints students had consulted with the kids from Georges Vanier in October and returned last week, Wednesday, Dec. 15, to show off the finished product.

They also leafed through Grade 3 textbooks for ideas to create games that helped teach the school curriculum.

Last week, they showed the finished product to their “customers”.

Teams of two to four students in the high school technology program showed games such as Plant It!, which challenges children to keep a sunflower alive using a combination of fertilizer, sunlight and water.

The Grade 3 students in Julie Hanna’s class sat in a circle around the room’s SMART board and watched the presentations, taking turns playing the games.

One of the games led the children on a virtual tour through All Saints Catholic High School,

Blair Edwards photo

Ben Ivan, 8, a Grade 3 student at Georges Vanier Catholic School, checked out one of the educational games designed by students at All Saints Catholic High school for the focus program in web production.. inviting the kids to press a button on a map displayed on the SMART board, which produced a video about a section of the high school.

All Saints’ auto shop class was very popular – when a video popped up, one of the Grade 3 students pointed at a car with an open hood on the screen.

“Can you set fire to it?” asked one boy.

“I don’t know,” said one of the presenters, Grade 11 student Eduardo Reyes.

“Maybe set a grenade in the engine?” suggested another boy.

HIGH SCHOOL HIGH TECH OCRI created the program in partnership with Ottawa’s high-tech companies, the English public and Catholic school boards in 2007.

The idea was to inspire students to pursue careers in information and communication technology, before they were locked in on a career path, said OCRI president Claude Haw. A gloomy public perception of the high-tech industry following the bubble burst of 2002 coupled with a drop in university enrolment in information technology programs was expected to produce a shortfall of 90,000 work-

ers from 2008-2013, said OCRI, resulting in a $10.8 billion hit to the economy.

OCRI and Ottawa’s high-tech cluster is hoping the solution to the problem lies in the classrooms of a Kanata and Barrhaven Catholic high school.

Mentors from IBM and Ottawa high-tech cluster of companies worked with 40 students from All Saints and Mother Theresa Catholic High School in Barrhaven this year, teaching them about computer hardware, team building and the variety of career options available in the technology industry.

This year’s program asks students to develop web-based educational tools, something that can be turned into an iPhone application and posted on school websites.

Fred Boulanger, president of Macadamian Technologies Inc., who has supported and supplied mentors for the program since it started as a pilot program four years ago, attended the All Saints presentation last week.

“I’m here out of pure interest,” said the high-tech business leader. “I’m curious.”

The high school technology program is still a pilot program, he said, but is expected to expand across the country.

Kelly Daize, OCRI’s manager

of cluster support and business development, said the program is looking to expand.

“The idea is next year we go massive,” she said.

ALL SAINTS PROGRAM All Saints Catholic High School started the focus program in web production this year.

Students must take a Grade 10 communications technology class and then in Grade 11 take two periods of web production, one period of photography and an elective of their choice.

Students who complete the program will graduate with a certificate in the focus programs along with their high school diploma.

Tom Brooks, who teaches the focus course in web production, said this is the first year the students had the opportunity to program a game using Adobe Flash.

Adobe Flash is much more fun to use than the program used during the school’s first year in the high school technology program, when students were asked to program online games and social programming on an XO computer.

As an end-of-the-year project, students created a program using Scratch or Java on an XO-1

laptop, an inexpensive notebook computer created for distribution to children in developing countries.

Brooks said he enjoyed working with the students at Georges Vanier to develop the web-based educational games.

“We were very surprised how articulate they were,” he said.

“They had some good suggestions.”

The Georges Vanier kids suggested the shark in the Float Your Boat game and including zoo animals as customers at a lemonade stand in The Lemonators.

Nick Acott, a Grade 11 student in the web program, said he wants to study at university to become a software developer.

“I want to go to university and take software developing and hopefully become a software engineer,” he said.

Another student in the web program, Callum Smith, said he wants to use his newfound skills in a career in advertising.

“I like this sort of stuff – there is a lot of work.”

Hanna said her Grade 3 students learned a lot working with the class from All Saints.

“It opens their eyes to technology,” she said. “They had a voice, that was thrilling for me to see.”

If the capital costs of setting up the program are left out, the study said the bike-share service could be expected to create an operating surplus in each of the next five years.

‘God has spared me’ MAAMA WATALI, from 8 She also gives the girls small gifts they wouldn’t otherwise receive, like little lipsticks, travel lotions, toiletries and pieces of fabric.

“God has spared me and put me here to help make a difference,” said Namulindwa.

She said she is looking for boutiques to help her sell the items, all of which she buys with her own money.

“They’re only beautiful (items) if someone sees them.”

COMMUNITY LIBRARY

Details on the launch date and how the service will be promoted are also not finalized, but the feasibility study recommended an advertising budget of around $300,000 to $500,000, with Ottawa paying half of that and the NCC and Gatineau splitting the other half. Leduc said the financial arrangements haven’t been ironed out yet.

Namulindwa’s next project is to build a community library in Luweero to help bring literacy levels up.

She is collecting children’s and young adult books, fiction and nonfiction novels and how-to books.

“My challenge now is to find a way to get the books down,” she said.

She is also looking for people willing to volunteer their time to travel to the village, help set up the library, train people how to run it and catalogue the items.

She said she’s hoping to have the library started by next summer.

She is also seeking donations of sewing and quilting machines.

Kanata couple John and Hannah Service took home the grand prize in the Glen Cairn Community Association’s Christmas lights contest.

Done up in red and white lights, the house at 187 Banning Rd. only took a day to decorate and has been described as a cozy, wintery setting.

“It’s just crisp and clean and Christmassy,” said Hannah, who also had boxes wrapped as Christ-

mas gifts on her front lawn.

John and Hannah won a $100 gift card from the Hazeldean Mall for their efforts.

“We just like to decorate around Christmas time,” said Hannah. “It just sort of accents everything.”

Lesley and Gordie Moore, who live at 139 Desmond Ave., took home second place and a $60 prize from Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

In third place were Karla and Mark McGaraughty of 17 Winchester Dr. They won a $40 prize, also donated

Artist stays young through work David Farrar, a long-time resident of Kanata, said that his work as an artist has helped him to stay young.

“I have coloured with all my grandkids at one point or another,” he said.

“Painting lets me be a little like Peter Pan — always young.”

David Farrar The comArtist mercial artist and graphic designer’s work will be profiled in his exhibit at Centrepointe Gallery, entitled “Portraits of the Land.”

The paintings, both in watercolour and oil, showcase nature scenes from Kanata and West Carleton.

The nature in Canada — still a little bit wild — is what David said has inspired him since he moved to the country from England in 1969.

“You don’t have to go very far to feel the wild here in Canada,” he said.

“In England everywhere you

joys the opportunity to talk to people about his work.

“I remember talking to one gentleman about how he was glad that I had captured the local scenes he enjoyed but couldn’t do himself,” Farrar said. “People connect with your work and with you, it’s so interesting to discover that.”

Farrar’s work will be showcased at the Centrepointe Gallery at 101 Ben Franklin Place until Jan. 12.

go, nature is kind of manicured.

But in Kanata or out in the countryside here, I often get the feeling that I am the first person to walk on a certain piece of land.”

Farrar, who has worked with the Governor General’s office for the last 18 or 19 years, provided the artwork for the Canadian Coat of Arms that appears on all Canadian bank notes.

It is this work that makes him feel like he is woven into the fabric of his adopted homeland. He is also a prevalent heraldic artist — painting coats of arms for many clients. He also designed the medallion for the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador.

“This work I just kind of happened upon has been very significant,” Farrar said.

Farrar has also worked with companies like Nortel, Mitel and Dipix.

He said he feels fortunate to have found work that he loves and keeps him feeling engaged.

“Most people dread Monday morning but I have my studio in the house, so I kind of look forward to when there aren’t so many people around and distractions from my work,” he said.

The exhibit is the second one Farrar has done at a city-owned gallery and he said he really en-
