A provincial coroner has ordered an inquest into the death of an eight-year-old girl who died at the Kanata Leisure Centre over two years ago.

Edine Ilunga, a Morgan’s Grant girl, died in hospital after she was found floating face down in the wave pool on Oct. 18, 2008, during a friend’s birthday party.

The inquest will examine the events surrounding Edine’s death and will include a look at safety standards in public pools.

“The decision was made thinking there may be a public safety issue here with regard to this particular death,” said Cheryl Mahyr, a spokesperson for the Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario.

The inquest jury may make recommendations that could prevent deaths in similar circumstances, she added.

The inquest will be held at the Competition Tribunal Courts, 90 Sparks St., and will begin on May 16, starting at 9 a.m. It is expected to last five days and will hear from approximately 10 witnesses.

Dr. Roger Skinner will preside as inquest coroner and Lia Bramwell will act as counsel to the coroner.

OC Transpo revises plans for Kanata bus route changes LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metrolan.com

to the public’s feedback.

“We did listen a lot on the bus system.

They’ve made a lot of changes – quite a few in my area, because there were some problems here,” Wilkinson said.

“They’ve tried as much as possible to meet the concerns that were raised with people.”

Read on for a breakdown of some of the major changes in Kanata and go to www.octranspo.com for the full details of the revised bus-route changes.

The city’s transit commission will vote on the revised changes on April 20.

BEAVERBROOK AND KANATA LAKES

April 23, 2011 from 8 am - 2 pm

Route 165 is back as a peak-hours only route and it will continue to serve the loops on Varley and Leacock drives in Beaverbrook (a portion of which was supposed to become part of Route 168 in the original proposal).

The 165 is now intended to replace portions of the 65 and 68 that were cut.

The route would end at Eagleson Station and run every 30 minutes during peak hours.

Route 68 has been altered from the original proposal. Instead of heading down Campeau, it will take Kanata Avenue to Terry Fox Station and the Queensway in order to serve Keyrock.

Unlike the rest of the transit revisions, the new service on Route 68 is not offset by cuts to other areas, according to a city report. Instead, it will be paid for out of the budget that allows for increased service based on growth.

The city received 213 negative comments about the changes in this area that guided how the revisions were made.

KANATA NORTH

OC Transpo is crediting an overwhelming public response for shaping a revised overhaul of bus routes across Ottawa.

More than 6,500 comments from residents and city staff followed the March 23 release of a proposed overhaul of OC Transpo’s route map.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the number of alterations to route changes in Kanata proves OC Transpo and city council were listening

Route 93 would now extend into the community to connect Kanata North to Bayshore Station at all times of the week.

Instead of staying on Flamborough Way and looping back down March Road via Klondike Road, the 93 will take Terry Fox Drive and Halton Terrace to Klondike all the way over to Marconi Avenue and Helmsdale Drive before heading back to March Road via Terry Fox Drive.

Under the revised proposal, Route 93 would also end at Lincoln Fields.

The 93 would also have a direct connection to Lincoln Fields during peak hours.

The new 93 would replace Route 160, the section of Route 101 west of Bayshore Station, the section of Route 182 from downtown, and the section of Route 182 into Kanata North.

• We use laser therapy to treat periodontal (gum) disease.

Replacing Route 160 to serve Morgan’s Grant was one of the suggestions among 407 comments submitted to the city about changes in this area.

Three hundred and fifty three of those who commented said the changes originally proposed would have a negative impact on their travels.

But even though many concerns have been addressed in the revised proposal, Wilkinson said she is working with city staff to make more improvements.

For instance, along with Wilkinson’s office, OC Transpo will look at whether some of the trips on Route 93 to and from Lincoln Fields could be combined with out-of service bus trips on the Transitway.

“I think I can make some further improvements,” Wilkinson said. “There is still more work to be done … This is the revised plan. It’s not the final plan.

Route 182 has been extended into Kanata via Carling and Herzberg to serve the business park instead of stopping the route at Shirley’s Bay, as was originally proposed.

“A lot of people who work in the printing place and things there need that bus,” Wilkinson said.

There may be more tweaks to that route as Wilkinson works with transit staff to address the needs of shift workers at the Kanata Business Park.

PALLADIUM AND HUNTMAR Although the city received 61 comments about proposed changes to this area, many of which indicated that changes to the 96 would cause problems, no revisions were made in this area.

Some of the comments sent in to the city asked for increased service on the 96 to account for cuts to service on the 163.

Others said that bypassing Terry Fox Station would confuse passengers on that route and it should bypass Katimavik and Eagleson instead.

OC Transpo has revamped its proposal for route changes after receiving more than 6,500 comments from residents.

News

More than 6,500 comments from residents who spoke “passionately” about how transit changes will affect them have resulted in significant alterations to route changes.

About two thirds of the original “route optimizations” proposed on March 23 have been altered based on the feedback, said transit commission chair Diane Deans (Gloucester-Southgate) at a meeting on April 13.

“We were listening to them,” Deans said. “I think the public, although it may not be fully satisfied with the changes, will certainly recognize that an earnest effort has been made to address their concerns.

“After hearing from the members of the public that we heard from you’d have to have a cold, cold heart not to want to make changes.”

The revisions mean fewer people will actually be affected by the changes: about 95 per cent of trips will be within a five-minute walking distance from a bus stop at peak hours, leaving 9,000 with further walks, as opposed to the previously planned 93 per cent, which would have seen about 12,000 riders living further away from stops.

Making changes based on public feedback was the plan all along, said Alain Mercier, the

“We’ve been working in building lines on maps, connecting houses and residents to different places in the city. But we don’t necessarily know what goes on inside those homes, and we needed the people,” Mercier said.

‘This type of situation is very rare’: city parks and recreation manager INQUIRY, from 1 The last time Edward Ilunga saw his daughter he hugged and kissed her goodbye.

“I’ll pick you up at 8:15,” he said.

Edine was excited, she loved to swim and planned to take lessons in January.

Almost two hours after he dropped her off at the Leisure Centre, Edward’s phone rang.

It was Rebecca’s dad, calling from the wave pool.

He told Edward there had been an accident and to hurry to the Leisure Centre.

On his way to the pool, Edward passed an ambulance on the highway.

He knew Edine was inside.

DROWNING It was 7:40 p.m. when a veteran lifeguard saw an eight-year-old girl floating face down in the wave pool.

Lifeguards performed CPR, gave the girl oxygen and used a defibrillator to start her heart. The girl had no vitals when she was pulled out of the water.

Paramedics arrived two minutes later and continued CPR. They inserted a breathing tube down the girl’s throat and administered intravenous medications to restart her heart.

“They managed to get a pulse back, then on route to the hospital the pulse was lost again,” said paramedic spokesperson J.P. Trottier.

“They got a pulse back (again) before

arrival to the hospital.”

The girl was taken to the Queensway Carleton Hospital and later transferred to CHEO where she died.

“This type of situation is very rare,” said Gilles Parent, City of Ottawa’s west division manager for parks and recreation, in 2008. “It hasn’t happened at the Kanata Leisure Centre for 20 years since it opened.”

WAVE POOL Parent said the wave pool machine wasn’t running during the drowning.

The wave machine runs on a 15minute cycle, creating waves for seven minutes and shutting down for eight minutes.

At the time, there were less than 100 people in the pool, which has a capacity for 480.

Five lifeguards were watching over the swimmers, meeting provincial regulations.

The Leisure Centre offers swimmers life jackets, but doesn’t require their use.

Even though, the girl’s parents weren’t present, but the birthday group had adequate adult supervision according to the city.

The girl was a student at Ecole Elementaire Publique de Kanata, a French elementary school in Morgan’s Grant.

Celebrating Earth Day

M

ore than six million Canadians will join one billion people in more than 170 countries in staging events and projects to address local environmental issues for Earth Day, an occasion that is also marked by nearly every school child in Canada.

It is difficult to escape the shadow of the environmental challenges that surround us.

Many seemingly innocuous daily activities pollute and degrade the fragile environment that humans and wildlife depend on to survive.

What can we do? How can we help?

April 22 is Earth Day, an occasion that provides the opportunity for people to take positive action against the threats to the environment. First launched as an environmental awareness event in 1970 in the United States, Earth Day is now celebrated as the birth of the environmental movement. It has been a powerful catalyst for change. The first Earth Day involved 20 million participants who addressed decades of environmental pollution.

The event inspired the U.S. Congress to pass clean air and water acts, and establish the Environmental Protection Agency to research

and monitor environmental issues and enforce environmental laws.

In 1990, two million Canadians joined 200 million people in 141 nations in celebrating the first International Earth Day. In Canada, Earth Day has grown into Earth Week and even Earth Month, in order to accommodate the profusion of events and projects.

Consider these environmental protection strategies and talk to your children about them: shop smart – buy what you need, not what you want; replace incandescent light bulbs with compact flourescent bulbs; car pool, reduce idling and maintain correct tire pressure to improve fuel economy; make sustainable food choices – consider local and organic foods that are in season and eat less meat; wash full loads of clothes in cold water and hang to dry; vacation closer to home; take shorter showers and shut water off when brushing teeth; choose natural, non-toxic cleaning products or make simple natural cleaners with ingredients like vinegar, baking soda and water and last but not least, donate, reuse and recycle.

Let’s make the most of Earth Day – before it’s too late.

What goes around, crashes around

CHARLES GORDON

y the morning after the leaders’ televised election debate, 380,888 people had watched a You Tube video of a driverless tractor in a Walmart parking lot in suburban Toronto.

Apparently 670 people liked it and 28 people disliked it.

For those who haven’t seen the video, what happens is that a tractor without a driver somehow begins driving in wide circles around the parking lot. It keeps returning to the side of the Walmart building, occasionally scraping it, then heads out into the parking lot again on another sweep and bashes into cars, pushing some ahead of it. It jumps the curb and crushes a tree. The only sound to be heard is the roar of the tractor and the voices of some of the people gathered to watch from a safe distance.

“Oh, man, I feel sorry for those cars,” someone says.

The tractor makes several sweeps. In the middle of one, a police car arrives, then another. They drive around a bit, as if they don’t know what to do.

Only the tractor knows what to do. Finally, it slams into a light pole, stops and somebody climbs up, reaches in and turns off the ignition.

KANATA

Funny Town There is no applause from the spectators, but someone can be heard saying to the video camera owner: “Put ’em on You Tube you got good money for that.”

Somehow there are lessons in here for us and for our political leaders, who were too busy debating to watch. For example, the video lasts six minutes and 11 seconds, which is very long in our short-attention-span world. Yet people watched it all the way through, which is more than can be said for the average political speech or even political commercial.

Because You Tube world has strange practices of its own, several people even posted their own videotaped reviews of the event.

perhaps somewhere in the West? Everybody would certainly watch and some would post reviews about it.

Mind you, the bus would be condemned as “reckless,” but that might not matter.

Experts say the hit count is everything.

As long as thousands of people click on it, everything is fine.

This is a dominant philosophy in our digital age: it doesn’t matter what I do as long as people watch it.

So far that hasn’t come to politics — aside from Stockwell Day driving the jetski — but it will. As McLuhan told us, the medium is the message and nowhere is this more evident than on the Internet.

Not to say anyone actually did it in this case, but you can stage an event, turn your camera on it and everybody watches, if the event is outlandish enough.

This was not possible in the old days. You might be able to stage the event, but someone else had to hold the camera, then you had to get the film developed, then rent a hall for people to come see it and there might be something else on that night.

This is why there were fewer driverless tractors driving around parking lots in the old days. Also fewer piano-playing cats.

But technology improved and so did

our ability to exploit it to get noticed. By the 1970s, baseball fans learned to wave at the TV cameras. A decade later, they could set their VCRs to record the game so that they could come home and watch themselves waving at cameras. And when digital phones arrived, they could call their friends and tell them to turn on their TV sets to watch them wave.

And now, technology is so advanced that it can all be done over the phone!

What would McLuhan say to that?

He would probably say that the real point is something else entirely, but for sure he’d click.

Bike paths needed To the editor.

Re: Bike path needed in Beaver Pond: Kanata Lakes cyclist, April 14, Kourier-Standard.

I just read your article in the latest Kourier-Standard re: Bill Frett’s quest for a bike path to be re-established through the Beaver Pond lands.

I am in a very similar situation as Bill.

I have been cycling to work for the last three years (Bridlewood to Hines Road) during the months April to October and was surprised last week to find that the bike path I had been using was blocked.

The first day I encountered the barricades, I was able to walk my bike around them and then continue walking through the area.

It looks like a bomb has gone off there – it is quite sad.

In any case, I was able to find another route through to Innovation Drive, which does not involve biking on either Goulbourn Forced Road or March Road.

We allocate $4.5 billion annually to foreign aid and modernizing Canada’s aid system is key to ensure that each dollar is spent as effectively as possible.

One recommendation for making Canadian foreign aid more effective includes creating a venture-focused innovation fund.

This would finance innovations with a proven, cost-effective impact and is one of the strategies supported by the new foreign assistance reform network.

Each party should address this issue if they want to honestly claim that fiscal responsibility is a priority for their party.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or requests. I hope very much that you will consider publishing my letter in your newspaper as I feel it addresses important issues your readership should know about.

I know it will be a gift she will be proud to receive, especially since she passed on her desire to help change the world for the better on to me.

I can’t think of a better way to thank my mom for the values she gave me and I want others to think of purchasing an alternative gift like this for their mother this Mother’s Day and show her that they’ve learned to care from her.

To the editor, The Running Stitch and Bravo Quilt Studio would like to thank all participants, volunteers and donors, particularly Gabriel’s Pizza in Kanata, for their contributions to the Spaghetti Dinner and Auction fundraiser for Sherry Read on April 2. Thanks to the commitment and support demonstrated by the quilting community, almost $8,000 was raised to assist the Read family in their fight against Multiple Sclerosis.

“We are deeply grateful to the community around us and business leaders who can do so much to take care of their own,” said Michele Santerre, the owner of The Running Stitch, who helped organize the show.

There are two donors the organizers and the Reads would like to thank especially who were previously unrelated to the quilting community. They both gave freely, from their hearts without expecting anything in return, and really demonstrated the true meaning of generosity. They are local artist Terry Sarchuk of Stittsville and Gabriel’s Pizza on Stonehaven Drive in Kanata.

They donated so much of themselves and their business to the cause for Sherry Read.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Michele Gagne who was the emcee and auctioneer for the evening.

A gift for Mother’s Day To the editor.

Recently my sister got married – I remember her walking down the aisle amongst all the people looking at her in awe.

As she took each step her smile became bigger and wider.

The reason - she was staring straight into her soon-to-be husband’s eyes.

As she stared at him – I couldn’t help but glace over at my parents. They both were glowing with pride and excitement, but my mother in particular.

People have always told my sister that she looks just like our mother – and it’s true – her eyes, her sense of humor and her passion to help those in need.

Mom’s-to-be always wonder will my child be healthy? Will they have my smile? Will they be successful?

This year, I started working at World Vision and have really been amazed by how similar the concerns of mothers everywhere are. While mothers in Africa also worry about these things, they worry about something that many mothers here do not – like passing on HIV to their child.

This year, for Mother’s Day, I’ve de-

far more than had been hoped for.

Highlight Battle of Kapyong April marks the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong – one of the most significant battles fought by the Canadians in the Korean War. As a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, a group of committed young people who are dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage, I would like to highlight this anniversary.

On April 24-25, 1951, the 2nd Battalion of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry engaged in the Battle of Kapyong.

From their stand on Hill 677, the Patricia’s managed to hold their positions and re-open the supply route despite tremendous odds and bitter fighting.

The Canadian action at Kapyong stopped the Chinese advance in this sector of the front for the rest of the war and earned the battalion the U.S. Presidential Citation for Valour.

Canada sent 26,791 soldiers to battle in Korea.

More than 1,200 were seriously wounded and another 516 never came home.

After the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953, the Canadians returned home amid little fanfare.

There were no bands playing, and no parades.

In fact, the Korean War had very little impact on Canadians, except, of course, those who fought in it or who lost loved ones.

To mark this anniversary, the War Amps has re-released its documentary Korea: Canada’s Forgotten War to regular and specialty TV channels.

Part of The War Amps Military Heritage Series, it is also available at a cost-recovery price of $12 by calling 1 800 250-3030 or visiting waramps.ca.

All candidates meeting offers little debate All three candidates came out in favour of more being done to recycle.

Hogg cited examples in Europe where recycling is encouraged. He particularly advocated for a co-ordinated set of rules across the country for the recycling of electronic waste.

McCrimmon suggested that federal government regulations could be changed to encourage more recycling and reduction of waste.

She focused in on the reduction of packaging, saying it should be restricted and should always be compostable.

O’Connor said that he favoured recycling as much as possible, associated with incineration. He said that he is not in favour of more landfills.

He also advocated changes to packaging in stores.

“When I go to the store and buy something, it is encased like a mummy,” he said.

OPENING REMARKS In his opening statement, O’Connor recited the Conservative government’s managing of the economy through the recent worldwide recession, citing billions going into research and development, tax relief for seniors, expansion of the federal public service and over $50 million in infrastructure spending support in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding.

And he said that the future would offer more of the same.

“The economy remains our party’s priority,” he said.

McCrimmon, in her opening remarks, said that her extensive military career in countries around the world had taught her that Canada is a very blessed country. She said that she has learned the importance of belonging to a community where people stand up for each other and for the community.

She pledged to work for a country that is compassionate, hard working and one where people look after each other. She said that a member of Parliament can play a role even in matters like the Carp Road landfill expansion which are not specifically within federal government

One of the first questions asked at the Carleton-Mississippi Mills all-candidates meeting held in Stittsville on Monday, April 18, dealt with negative advertising and badmouthing opposing party leaders.

And while two of the participating candidates, namely Karen McCrimmon (Liberal) and John Hogg (Green), pledged never to use negative campaigning (with Conservative candidate and incumbent Gordon O’Connor claiming that Conservative ads in this campaign are “actually factual ads,” eliciting a giant groan from the capacity crowd of close to 200 at the Stittsville Legion Hall), all three were on their best behaviour throughout the meeting, as was the crowd.

The meeting, which lasted a little over two hours, saw all three candidates (the NDP’s Erin Peters chose not to take part) deliver opening and closing statements and respond to questions with no real rancor or impassioned disagreement.

The candidates discussed the future of transfers to provinces, politics and ethics, contempt of Parliament concerns, possible reform of the Bankruptcy Act to help Nortel pensioners and others, income splitting for working couples, generic drug availability for developing countries, child care, poverty elimination, procurement of fighter jets, care for the elderly, concerns for the aboriginal population, the possible establishment of a Ministry of Sport, repression in China, working with other political parties in Parliament, jobs related to any fighter jet contract, ensuring that the economy continues to grow, health and environment provisions for seniors, control of government communications by a prime minister, day care costs for single parents, a proposal for more prisons, assurances to uphold the Canada Health Act, the South March Highlands issue and environmental leadership, landfills and waste reduction, poverty and crime, source of the surplus generated by the previous Liberal government, and proportional representation.

jurisdiction.

“I am offering to be your advocate, your ally,” she said.

Hogg said that his party’s focus is the future. He acknowledged that the economy is important but noted that in his view the economy is driven by the environment and if there are environmental problems, then the future is imperiled.

He advocated for high speed bandwidth everywhere in Canada with communication used in smarter ways.

He said that there needs to be more funding put into the researching of diseases like Alzheimer’s.

the riding (check your voter’s card).

O’Neill reminds voters they need identification to vote. About 75 per cent of people use their driver’s licence, but there are also other options, O’Neil said.

She explained that electors can also vote any day up until 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 26 at the returning office for Carleton-Mississippi Mills at 555 Legget Dr., Suite 222 in Kanata (1-866-238-4171). It is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. People can also vote by mail.

Electors can still get on the list after that date, and can vote on May 2 even if not on the list – if they have the right identification.

Green light for weekly green bin, biweekly garbage New residential waste collection to start in November 2012 LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Despite opposition from some residents, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said city council made the “smart” decision by choosing to pick up the green bin every week, while making garbage collection biweekly.

“First and foremost, garbage is our problem,” Watson said at a city council meeting on April 13, just before council voted 18-4 in favour of the new residential waste collection program.

“No one likes to deal with it, but it’s our … collective responsibility to find ways to dispose of (waste) in a sustainable fashion,” the mayor said.

Some councillors (Rainer Bloess, Diane Deans, Jan Harder, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney) would have preferred to see seasonal biweekly pickup, which they said would have quelled fears of stinking garbage piling up in the summer months.

But increasing collection to weekly in June, July and August would have axed $3 million from the anticipated $9 million in annual savings, said Dixon Weir, the city’s general manager of environmental services. Not only that, but it would have reduced the amount of organic waste diverted from the landfill by about 50 per cent, because people tend to produce more organic waste in the summer, he added.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said a seasonal change in collection would only cause confusion.

“Are we in fact giving the message to the public, ‘Don’t bother putting it in your green

bin?’” he asked. “My fear is that if we move this way, we are going to be undermining (our message) for three months of the year.”

Instead, council decided to delay the start of the new collection program by about five months. Not only will that give the city two summers to educate residents about the program before it begins, it could also provide time to get a better deal on the waste collection contract, said environment committee chairwoman and River Coun. Maria McRae, who also suggested the motion.

Harder was on the fence about whether she should support biweekly garbage pickup, because many residents had told her they were opposed to it. In the end, delaying the start of the change until November 2012 was enough to satisfy the Barrhaven councillor’s concerns.

But Harder still wasn’t happy that the hundreds of emails from residents that she passed along to city staff weren’t included in the public consultation analysis.

Marilyn Journeaux, the city’s manager of solid waste services, said it would have taken too long to analyze information in letters, so only public feedback submitted through a waste-collection survey (and those received at public meetings) were considered – 4,806 comments in total, plus 200 emails sent through the city’s dedicated website on the issue.

DIVERSION Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from the landfill, Weir said. That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to around 54 per cent.

But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said Bloess, the councillor for Innes

GREEN BIN TIPS • Line your pail and green bin and wrap waste with newspaper to avoid odours.

• Same goes for emptying the pail: if you don’t want to purchase liner bags, visit ottawa.ca/greenbin for a video on how to make a liner “bag” out of newspaper.

• Cardboard containers such as cereal boxes can be used.

• If your bin has maggots, put vinegar or salt on them to kill them.

• A container of vinegar covered in plastic wrap with holes poked in it will capture fruit flies.

• If you’re worried about smell, sprinkle laundry detergent, garden lime or baking soda in your bin.

• You can also freeze meat and fish waste and put it in the bin on collection day.

• Spray your bin with cooking spray to avoid having items freeze to it.

City council voted in biweekly garbage pickup, with weekly green bin collection on April 13, despite opposition from some residents.

Ward.

The city will never be able to achieve that diversion target until it tackles the “ICI sector” – industrial, commercial and institutional organizations, Bloess said. The city is currently only focusing on residential waste collection and has yet to roll out the greenbin program to apartment buildings before ICI collection is even considered.

Weir said city staff expect to hit the goal of a 60 per cent diversion rate by the end of this new waste contract, which will be in 2016.

Watson agreed Ottawa is a “laggard, not a leader” on the issue of organic-waste diversion.

RURAL/URBAN SPLIT The garbage issue emerged as one of the most divisive issues for a council that has to contend with the needs and desire of both its urban and rural residents.

By and large, rural councillors said their residents don’t want the green-bin service, either because they already use a backyard composter and don’t want another system imposed on them, or because they have more concerns about the bins attracting pests and rodents.

Four councillors voted against biweekly garbage pickup, all from ridings on the outskirts of the city: Stephen Blais (Cumberland), Allan Hubley (Kanata South), Monette (Orleans) and Doug

Thompson (Osgoode).

But there was one notable exception to that rule.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri expressed his exasperation that city council was still talking about increasing organicwaste diversion, five years after the topic was first debated in council chambers.

This issue stares his residents in the face each day as they contend with living next door to the city’s Trail Road landfill.

“If you don’t know what a garbage mountain feels like next to a community, come out to Stittsville. Come out to West Carleton,” Qadri said as he supported the move to biweekly garbage pickup.

By contrast, urban councillors were some of the biggest champions of the program.

Somerset Ward Coun. Diane Holmes drew a few groans when she lightheartedly suggested if people are concerned about maggots in their green bins, they should open the lid and let birds feast on the protein.

Many, including Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, agreed the change to biweekly should have happened when the city first introduced the green bin in 2008.

Weir said the city has been getting “tremendous interest” in the green-bin program, even from rural residents, because there are many materials that can be placed in the bin that cannot be put in a backyard composter.

Dealing with diapers Another area of controversy was the proposed “special services” pickup, which will offer weekly diaper and incontinenceproduct collection for households that sign up for it.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley was particularly concerned with privacy issues. He worried that seniors would be too embarrassed to put out bags for the “special service” on off-weeks for collection.

Dixon Weir, the city’s general manager of environmental services, said people who are concerned about identifying themselves through the special pickup don’t have to use it.

“This is not a mandatory program,” he said.

Weir said between 75 and 100 households in each of the city’s five waste-collection zones are expected to use the service.

Other councillors questioned whether there would be additional costs associated with offering the service, even though Weir said the program could be combined with other work that’s already being done.

Supervisors already travel around neighbourhoods between collection days to pick up leftover garbage, and those trucks could also collect the “special service” waste, Weir said.

People who are interested in the service will be able to sign up through the forthcoming Service Ottawa initiative on ottawa.ca before the collection system changes in November of 2012.

‘I feel sad for the kids who have no hair’ Young girl lopping her locks for children battling disease JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Eight-year-old Morgan Anderson Bain had been growing her hair for a number of years so she could donate it to make wigs for children with cancer.

Morgan was set to chop off between eight to 12 inches of her 18-inch-long hair on Thursday, April 21, at a hair cutting party at Jask Salon & Day Spa in Kanata.

“I thought it would be nice to,” said the Grade 3 student at Huntley Centennial Public School. “I feel sad for the kids who have no hair and I just wanted to help them out.”

Morgan was trying to collect a mile’s worth of hair to donate, along with

money, to help make wigs for children who lose their hair during cancer treatments. Before the KourierStandard’s publication, she had managed to collect a minimum of 120 inches, or 0.00189 of a mile. Although she didn’t hit a mile’s worth of hair she managed to surpass her fundraising aim.

The West Carleton resident upped her goal to $1,000 after she far surpassed her original target of $500. Sitting at $900 in donations at the time of the interview, Morgan said she was confident the remaining $100 could be raised on time.

She had 15 girls willing to lop off their locks, with participants coming from as far away as Cornwall and Gloucester/Cumberland, with the hope that more would sign up before the hair-cutting party.

“It’s amazing that so many people have come forward to help Morgan,” said Morgan’s mother, Cathy.

CCWR gives rescued animals a ‘forever home’ JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Instead of buying a bunny this Easter season, people can sponsor one through the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge’s sanctuary program, said Melissa Kerr.

“The program was created with the holidays in mind,” said Kerr, who volunteers with the centre and runs the sponsorship program. “If people want to give a unique and compassionate gift they can sponsor an animal.”

The centre usually sees a spike in animals given up for adoption a few months after major holidays.

“Rabbits aren’t always the cute and cuddly animals people think they are,” said CCWR founder Lynne Rowe. “Many of them end up needing rescue or given up for adoption. Right now we have 11 rabbits we’ve taken in. The number usually increases a few months after the holidays.”

People have the option of visiting their sponsor animal at the centre, get to know it and see how it’s cared for, said Kerr.

“It’s been really great to make

those connections for people,” she said about introducing people to the animal they’re helping. “People get to see animals in a different way.”

And it’s not just bunnies the CCWR sponsors out. The refuge has a number of domestic animals in need of a little extra care, including ponies, goats, pigs and cats. The program will be expanded to include wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels and deer after the CCWR receives authorization to open from the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Sponsorship helps to provide quality care, food, health care, shelter and the general function of the sanctuary.

“Whenever we take in a sanctuary animal we guarantee we’ll offer it excellent care, good food and a healthy environment,” said Rowe. “When people sponsor an animal it frees up that money; it allows us to take in more animals or dedicate more money to expanding the wildlife centre.”

The sanctuary portion of CCWR, which is home to about 75 animals who were homeless, neglected or abused, is to give animals a forever home, said Kerr.

“It helps us to keep giving the

animals quality care.”

There are about 12 animals currently being sponsored.

“We have a wonderful family who sponsor our retired school horse Mishka who’s over 30 years old,” said Rowe. Because of her age, Mishka needs special senior horse food and hay cubes that are easy to digest.

“She’s an older horse who has trouble grinding down her food enough.”

Kerr said there are two animals that come to mind that could use a little extra help.

One is Lady, a goat from Burlington, Ont. She wasn’t cared for correctly while in boarding and gave birth to a stillborn kid. A pulled tendon also wasn’t treated properly so she walks with a limp. Lady is also being treated for sores on her udder.

“She’s a gentle soul and just in need of someone to love her,” said Kerr.

The second is a rabbit named Martin who lost his partner Clover to mammary cancer.

“He’s mourning her,” said Kerr. “He misses her very much.”

Rowe said classes could sponsor an animal as a project and learn about the animal and its care.

“We’d like to encourage classes to sponsor an animal as a class project. They can learn about that animal and foster a sense of taking responsibility for animals and thinking about them,” she said. “Or a family could take it as a project to sponsor an animal and teach their kids about what happens to animals in the world.”

Not all the animals in need of sponsorship are listed on the website, said Kerr, who added people can contact the refuge to request more information at info@ccwr.ca or visit the website at www.ccwr.ca.

“It gives people the option of giving a unique and compassionate gift while also offering support.”

It was with a heavy heart that Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson supported a decision to scale back the new Kanata recreation centre.

Even as city council approved a more conservative new design for the centre, she held out hope that the National Capital YMCA could re-instate its $6 million funding contribution in time to build the centre in its full glory.

“I support the motion with some regret,” the Kanata North councillor said.

“It will be a very nice facility, but not quite as nice as it could have been.”

The city had been working in partnership with the YMCA for about a year and a half to build an enhanced recreation facility. Wilkinson said she first heard rumblings that the YMCA might be pulling its funding last fall, but it wasn’t until March 2 when the organization officially announced it couldn’t afford to give the $6 million it committed to.

That means scaling back the facility by about 1,393.5 square metres. Components the community won’t be seeing include the second gymnasium, a running track,

Still a chance YMCA might reinstate funding: councillor

enlarged individual and group fitness spaces, family activity zones and a dedicated child-minding/playcare space.

With the YMCA’s contribution, the total project was set to cost $49.14 million.

Scaling it back will make it worth around $43 million, which is mostly coming from development charges the city has been collecting for the project for many years.

Redesigning the facility will cost another $100,000 to $125,000 said Steve Kanellakos, director of city operations.

Wilkinson said there is still a chance that the Y could come up with the funding, and if is announced soon, it could mean the original design could still be built.

The Y’s board met in mid-March to discuss the possibility of re-instating the funding, Wilkinson told the KourierStandard, but didn’t come back with a decision.

“There is still action going that would enable the Y to guarantee funds or find other source,” Wilkinson said.

If the funding comes through by May, the city could still go back to the original design, she said.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El Chantiry was less enthusiastic about the lingering possibility of the funding coming through.

“Where will be the cut-off line for this?

We need to move on,” he asked.

Wilkinson said she will hold an open house to show the plans to the public on Tuesday, May 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the John Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr.

Students hold fashion show to fight poor self esteem JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

453570

Students at Castlefrank Elementary School raised $2,600 for the Hopewell Eating Disorder Centre in Ottawa with their fundraising fashion show Beauty is…on Thursday, April 14.

Students, teachers and even the principle modeled clothes, donated from various stores in the local area, to whistles and shouts of encouragement from the audience.

The students strutted down the runway to such hits as Katy Perry’s Fireworks and Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars, grinning, waving and striking a pose.

Over 100 parents, family

members and friends packed themselves into the school’s gym to watch the show.

The Grade 8 students charged with running the event chose to put on a fashion show to combat poor self esteem and body image issues among youth.

“We called it (the fashion show) Beauty is…,” said Grade 8 student Aureana Milne. “We left it up to people to determine what beauty is to them.”

The Hopewell Eating Disorder Centre offers support, information and hope to anyone affected by eating disorders while also promoting prevention by helping people to understand eating disorders and the importance of healthy attitudes towards body image, eating and physical activity.

Dollars for dogs Guide Dogs host fundraising canine walk

OTTAWA-CARLETON WILDLIFE CENTRE The tiny newborn raccoons, with eyes still closed and little fur, were growing very cold and hungry.

They would not survive much longer. Their mother had been gone for many hours.

A block away, the mother raccoon was frantically trying to escape a so-called “humane” trap. The homeowner was preparing to take the trapped raccoon to a forest miles away.

This sad story is repeated hundreds of times during the spring and summer birthing season.

Female animals come closer to our properties each spring, seeking out covered shelter in eaves, chimneys, garden sheds and under steps as a safe spot to have their young, away from predators.

If you see a wild animal around your property at this time of the year, you can safely assume it is a female with babies nearby. So do not barricade her access or trap and relocate her. Remember, it is a very temporary situation. Once the babies are weaned, the family will move back to a more natural area.

Eagleson Road will be getting an additional left turn lane this summer.

With extreme traffic congestion on Eagleson and Stonehaven Drive during morning and afternoon rush hour, an additional southbound left turning lane will be added on Eagleson, as well as another eastbound lane on Stonehaven between Eagleson and Cedarock Drive.

“I am pleased that I am able to announce yet another road modification that will help alleviate traffic congestion during the morning and evening commute,” said Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley in a press release.

Construction is set to begin

in late summer and continue through the fall.

Bicycle lanes will also be added from Eagleson to Cedarock to help eliminate conflicts between cyclists and vehicles.

“This project is about making the intersection more efficient, while also ensuring the safety of the many residents who are cycling,” said Hubley. “The work on Stonehaven Drive is part of a bigger plan to resolve the traffic issues in the area.”

The construction is part of the network modification program to increase capacity and safety of roadways in the City of Ottawa. The intersection of Eagleson and Stonehaven is among the top 35 priority locations for retrofit within the city.

Having to balance a demanding job with an average of 10 to 20 hours of volunteer hours a week isn’t the easiest task.

But Michelle Sharma wouldn’t

have it any other way.

On top of being the community aide for OttawaCarleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities for the past 11 years, Sharma has volunteered her time at the

Barrhaven Community Police Centre for the last 19 – having hit her anniversary date just before National Volunteer Week, which runs from April 10 to 16.

CITY OF OTTAWA

Sharma got her start with the OPP community services in Kanata – where she’s from – and then moved on to the Greenbank Road Ottawa police station by the fall. She transferred to Barrhaven soon after and has been enjoying herself ever since.

“I love to be around people,” Sharma said. “It is community.”

As a member of her local Optimist and Lions Club chapters, Sharma has been a pillar in the community.

Now as the community police’s volunteer program coordinator for the neighbourhood watch, she takes an active role in keep the area safe.

Sharma organizes clean-ups and even takes a proactive approach by leading quarterly meetings to encourage residents to watch out for stolen items and graffiti in Barrhaven.

“It’s just about keeping them going,” she said. “I try to make it more appealing for families to be more rigorous.”

Sharma also takes pride in making people more comfortable of the police centre.

She said some of her main roles include calming people down and referring them to the right place, particu-

larly if a possession has been lost or stolen.

But the self-described “jack of all trades” also tries to set up events for children, such as fingerprinting, to put them at ease when being at the station.

“They ask a lot of different questions,” she said. “It’s important to get that fear out. Sometimes they’re afraid.”

“If I need something done, she’ll do it,” Const. Tim Murray said, the station’s community officer. “She’s great at communicating with all the volunteers.”

Sharma said she’s had a great working relationship with many of the 14 community officers including the recently departed Tara McDougall and now Murray, who’s been at the station for about a month.

While Sharma admits a couple of the officers at the beginning of her tenure perhaps weren’t the friendliest, she’s been adapt to the needs of each person.

“It’s a learning curve for myself,” she said. “It requires patience and learning how to deal with people.

“But I don’t really have any bad days. I love coming here.”

Ottawa West-Kanata - A new report has just been released which identifies the 6 most common and costly mistakes that homebuyers make when moving to a larger home.

Unlike the experience of buying a first home, when you’re looking to moveup, and already own a home, there are certain factors that can complicate the situation. It’s very important for you to understand these issues before you list your home for sale.

Not only is there the issue of financing to consider, but you also have to sell your present home at exactly the right time in order to avoid either the financial burden of owning two homes or, just as bad, the dilemma of having no place to live during the gap between closings.

462921

Avoid 6 Costly Errors When Moving to a Larger Home and Save Thousands In answer to this issue, Industry Insiders have prepared a FREE special report entitled “6 Mistakes to Avoid When Trading Up to a Larger Home.”

These six strategies will help you make informed choices before you put your home on the market in anticipation of moving to a larger home.

To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800-217-1897 and enter 3007. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to find out what you need to know to make your move-up to a larger home worry-free and without complication.

By Matt Barr of Camps Canada Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs.

What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.)

1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they? Are

2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care?

Is there an additional cost for extended hours?

Dance

3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common. A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want.

SUMMER DANCE

4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory?

5. What do you do on rainy days? Are your facilities air-conditioned?

6. Do the children swim every day?

What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers?

7. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children.

8. What if my child doesn’t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee? What is your cancellation policy?

9. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a website? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card?

The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision. After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.

Matt Barr is the owner of Camps Canada, a summer camp based in Ottawa, Ontario. As a voice for Canadian Camp Owners and Camp Directors, Matt is a frequent guest on radio and television programs across the country discussing the latest trends and issues in summer camps.

Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few.

Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right.

Convenient Location: Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp.

Cost: Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”.

Research: With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started:

they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check?

Summer Fun & Camp Guide Summer 2011

Let’s keep kids healthy inside and out

462355

(NC)—Winter is finally over and the sound of kids playing in the neighbourhood is starting to fill the air. Bike rides, shooting ‘hoops’, or playground fun are just some of the ways kids can become active in the spring and summer. It’s a good thing too, because recent reports show that Canadian kids just aren’t getting enough exercise. Kids should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise a day, according to the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology.

to Recreation for Low Income Families. “Whatever their fitness personality, all kids can be physically fit. A parent’s positive attitude will steer them in the right direction.”

“Healthy, physically active kids more likely to be academically motivated, alert, and successful,” said Howie Dayton, chair of the Ontario Task Group on Access

• Discovery of leadership skills;

Consider enrolling your child in an organized sport or recreational activity, like soccer, baseball, swimming or ball hockey.

The benefits of participating in organized play are often lifelong: • Increased self–esteem and self-confidence;

• Improved school performance; • Development of healthy lifestyle habits; and

• Learning that physical activity can be fun.

If costs are a barrier to organized sport or recreation, there are various kinds of charitable programs that can help, like the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program. It is a national charitable program that covers registration, equipment and/or transportation costs to help financially disadvantaged kids participate in organized sport and recreation and has helped over 315,000 kids since 2005.

Summer Fun & Camp Guide Summer 2011

Encourage learning all summer long (NC)—Don’t let summer fun interfere with your child’s learning. Research has shown that kids can lose much of what they learned during the school year during the summer months, a phenomenon known as “summer brain drain.” Parents don’t need to fret however; there are plenty of opportunities for children to keep their brains sharp and focused during the summer break. Here are some tips to help keep your children learning and their brain’s sharp during summer vacation.

Keep them active It is widely accepted that there is a link between a healthy body and a healthy brain. Keeping your children’s bodies fit will help keep their brains fit and reduce summer brain drain. Physical activity can be either indoor or outdoor fun. One popular indoor and outdoor riding toy is the PlasmaCar

by Plasmart Inc. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that can be driven on any flat surface and is powered solely by kid–power. The PlasmaCar is a fun way for kids to ride around the neighbourhood and keep their bodies fit as it requires no batteries or fuel, just the occasional cookie or two.

453992

Keep them problem–solving Math and problem–solving skills are the subjects experts say are more likely to be affected by brain drain. This doesn’t have to be the case however, as there are plenty of activities to make math and problem–solving fun. One game that has the attention of educators and parents alike is Perplexus by Plasmart Inc. Perplexus is a 3D maze game where players manoeuvre a small marble around challenging barriers inside a large–sized transparent sphere. Unlike traditional flat–surface mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus challenges player’s problem solving abilities with numerous paths to choose from and hundreds of barriers to

overcome. In addition to being an entertaining game, Perplexus is a great tool for cognitive development, encouraging children to exercise their problem–solving, motor and dexterity skills, as well as improving their hand–eye coordination.

Perplexus is just as challenging for adults as it is for children and is for people aged 4–104, and so will help keep parents problem solving skills sharp as well.

the ULTIMATE Summer Fun & Camp Guide • Summer 2011 Safety first tips for all summer equipment

• Apply sunscreen at least 20 to 30 minutes before going outdoors.

If you can do it an hour ahead of time, that’s even better.

• Be sure to choose a sunscreen that offers broad spectrum protection, which means it protects from both UVA and UVB rays.

• Don’t forget to wear protection on cloudy days as well as sunny ones. UVB rays may be partially blocked by the grayness, but UVA rays are not.

• Know that the sun’s rays are strongest between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

• Protect your child’s skin with sunscreens designed specifically for the sensitive skin of babies and kids. Banana Boat offers a wide variety of products that are tear–free for quick and painless application.

• Wear sunscreen even if you are only planning to drive from one indoor location to another. UVA rays can penetrate glass.

Commonly forgotten exposures include the left arm that sits on the car door ledge when driving, and the rays that warm your face through the sunroof.

• Sunscreen isn’t the only form of protection from the sun. Wearing a hat, sun protective clothing or even using an umbrella can help prevent harmful damage to your skin and help avoid a sunburn.

CLASSICAL DANCE ACADEMY

(NC)—One million players, some three million followers, plus a burgeoning professional scene, make soccer one of the fastest growing sports in Canada.

Across the country, we now have more than 840,000 registered players (and many more unregistered), as well as 1,500 youth clubs and about 46,000 teams enrolled with the Canadian Soccer Association.

With more participants than any other sport, soccer is perhaps one of the most accessible sports around – all you really need is a ball and a flat surface. The majority of those playing “the beautiful game” in Canada are youth, whether involved recreationally or competitively through house leagues and rep teams.

A recent BMO poll found that one– third of Canadian parents have their children enrolled in soccer, more than double that of parents who have their children in hockey, or in baseball, basketball and swimming combined.

The top three reasons parent cited for getting their children on the field were to

have fun (86 per cent), for the health benefits of physical exercise (76 per cent) and to learn teamwork (70 per cent).

“Supporting youth soccer at the grassroots level is a priority for us at BMO,” said Sandy Bourne, vice–president of advertising, sponsorship, events and merchandising with BMO Financial Group. “We work to make soccer more accessible through our sponsorship of local soccer clubs, and continue to support youth players through BMO Team of the Week, a new contest that recognizes teams for their achievements both on and off the field.”

The nationwidecontest runs from April to August and is open to all youth soccer teams with players aged 7 to 12. The grand prize includes $125,000 for a soccer field refurbishment, and a road trip to a Toronto FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC home game. Teams will be rewarded not only for on–the–field accomplishments, but also for spirit, passion for the game, and community efforts. www.newscanada.com

Protect yourself appropriately. Also know that you should use sunscreen no matter what time you go out to enjoy the day.

(NC)—Summer and sports go hand in hand. Kids across the country are lacing up their cleats to hit the field and tuning up their bikes to hit the road. When it comes to sports or playing in the sun – safety comes first. You wouldn’t let your son or daughter play soccer barefoot or ride without a helmet, so why would you let them head outdoors without proper sun protection?

Councillors quibble over accessibility of audio minutes laura.mueller@metroland.com

A plea from community groups to keep detailed written records of city meetings went unheeded last week as city council voted to archive audio re-

cordings of all city standing committee meetings and subcommittee meetings instead of detailed written minutes.

But city councillors who support the move said it will bring Ottawa’s record keeping into the 21st century.

There will still be text “action” min-

utes, but some councillors said their residents are concerned the audio archive will make it more difficult to keep tabs on what the city government is doing.

“This is one of the ways we’re transparent,” said Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes.

Others, including Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson and Orleans Coun.

Bob Monette, said community groups and city advisory committees had expressed concerns the change would make the records inaccessible for some people, such as seniors and people who don’t have access to or know how to use a computer.

“This will really hurt our community groups that are trying to understand what we’re doing here,” Wilkinson said.

From a historical standpoint, keeping a text copy of the detailed minutes is essential, Wilkinson said.

That’s why she suggested a motion the city continue producing written minutes in addition to adding audio minutes.

That motion did not pass.

But Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume said

the change to audio minutes will make the records more accessible for some people, including those who can’t read.

The audio files will also have bookmarks links so listeners can jump directly to the agenda item they are interested in listening to, and they will be able to hear the actual discussion on the issue in councillors’ own words, said the city’s clerk, Lesley Donnelly.

The change will cost an additional $19,900 per year in IT and storage costs, but it will be offset by savings from reducing the staff time needed to transcribe text minutes.

Doing both would have cost $25,900.

Text action minutes are the standard among municipalities in Ontario, Donnelly said.

The city is also considering using voice-to-text software to provide a rough written translation of the audio recording, which would not be considered official minutes.

Never sacrificing fashion for value, Bouclair Home personifies style By: Caroline George The idea of finding fashionable and attractive home furniture at affordable prices may seem daunting, but at BouClair Home it is possible.

“When you come into our store you’ll be able to get great home decor, great accessories and great colours for value pricing,” said media coordinator MarieEmanuelle Khoury.

On March 9, BouClair Home opened its newest, 8000 square foot store located at 5597 Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

“We have been very welcomed and the feedback from our customers since the store has opened has been very positive,” said Khoury of the company`s eighth BouClair Home store to open in the Ottawa area.

In business for over 40 years, the Montreal-based company has been offering stylish home decor for the past six years from bedding to home accent pieces including ottomans, lamps and wall art at prices that suit even the most budget conscious.

“You can pull a room together without breaking the bank,” said Khoury.

All pieces are exclusive to Bouclair which, adds Khoury customers love because it offers a unique shopping

experience.

“The way that our decor is coordinated and arranged around the store is great for a customer that maybe needs a little help for inspiration or another customer that doesn’t have time to shop for hours on end,” says Khoury who notes customer appreciation extends to the helpful customer service offered by the store’s staff.

“We have had great success and are very happy with our staff,” said Khoury which is a feeling store manager Jessica Roche echoes.

Jessica (Manager), Samantha (Assist.Manager), Jennifer and Erin of the Kanata

“Being able to grow with the store are looking forward to welcoming you. company as it`s growing itself “The combination of fashion and value is something has been my favourite experience,” that is very unique to us because you can’t find that in said Roche who has been with BouClair Home for five other stores.” years.

What makes us different says Khoury is that we stand behind fashion and value while making home decorating simple.

“When you come into our store you’ll be able to visualize and take everything that you want and you’ll easily see how you’ll be able to pull a room together.”

The Role of a Lawyer When Buying a Home Written by Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association

There is nothing in life more exciting that buying a new home. Home buyers thrill in watching their new home take shape, knowing that they are getting exactly the finishes and features they want. Yet the excitement and emotion of buying a new home can sometimes overshadow the fact that your home purchase also means entering into a complicated legal agreement. Chances are, it will also be the largest financial investment of your life.

Due to the complex legal aspects involved in buying a new home, it is strongly suggested that home buyers consult with a lawyer before signing on the dotted line.

When you buy a new home, the contract, or the signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale document, between you and your builder is your assurance that you will receive exactly what you have purchased, at the price that you have agreed to. It is also the builder’s assurance that you will follow through to the end with the purchase.

Some home buyers sign the contract first, and then take it to their lawyer for review. By this point, however, it is too late for the lawyer to suggest any modifications or changes. Alternatively, make your offer conditional on your lawyer’s favourable review. It is sometimes wise, and less costly, to agree with the builder on price and terms before involving a lawyer. (If you cannot reach an agreement with the builder on these fundamental points, there is no need to pursue the contract any further.)

The lawyer will look for certain clauses which include information on restrictions and obligations that may affect your rights and responsibilities as a home owner. Typically, clauses may mention the need to bus students to the nearest school. A clause may mention a right of way or an easement registered against the lot. For instance, will there be a fire hydrant on your lot, or an electrical box?

Clauses concerning mortgage approval must also

be treated seriously. A large number of Agreements of Purchase and Sale include clauses making them conditional on receiving mortgage financing. The Agreement should specify the number of days allotted for obtaining the mortgage, the process for notifying the builder and what will happen if the mortgage application is turned down.

The lawyer may suggest changes to the wording and the clauses of the contract to further promote your interests.

Immediately notify the builder of these recommendations, allowing enough time for a review by the builder and/or the builder’s lawyer before acceptance or possible counter.

Once your offer has been accepted and all conditions have been waived, you have a firm contract. Your lawyer will begin the legal process of transferring ownership of the home and you can now go on to the next, and perhaps most, exciting step of home buying . . . getting ready to move into your new home!

Peacefully at Rosebridge Manor on Monday, April 11, 2011, Hubert Maurice Van Stoken, age 77. Predeceased by his wife Gail Van Stoken (nee Porter).

Loving father of David Van Stoken, Debbie Liska (Greg), Donna Turnbull (Robert), Cathy Pratt (Trevor), Karen Bernhardt (Martin), Carol Van Stoken, Kevin Van Stoken (Shannon), Durwin Van Stoken (Lynn Chretien) and Mike Van Stoken (Jennifer Pretty). Cherished Grandpa of 22 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Predeceased by 4 sisters. Visitation was held at Grant Brown Funeral Home Purcell Chapel, Centre Street, Spencerville on Thursday, April 14th from 7 to 9pm. Graveside Service was held at East Oxford Cemetery, Oxford Station on Friday, April 15th at 11am.

The Benefit Dance is over, the lights are out and folks have gone home. From all of this I have found true Friends that have recognized the value of our friendship and have held to it’s sacred substance. The measure of my experience in friendship has given me an overwhelming sense of gratitude as my heart has experienced the expressions of love. It is with ease and assurance; I rise to say Thank You. Two very short words that can never totally express the courage it gives me to continue on my road to recovery. To truly learn that busy people in a bustling community will often take time to support the needs of others is so assuring. Bonds that we make through work relationships come ever effective in times of need and especially at times when illness visit us.

This has been an uplifting experience for me through the actions of two ladies, Theresa Carron & Heather Pierce, with whom I worked. Their resulting efforts have given me the confidence to continue, with courage, for the battles that may lie ahead. My community both near and far have supported me and I say again to each and every one; Thank You, and may God bless you for your ongoing support.

872 KANATA KIWANIS AIR CADET SQUADRON Local air cadet Andrew Lumley is a Grade 10 student at Earl of March Secondary School and has been with 872 Kanata Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron for four years.

Even though he had to wait until he was 12 to join, he first heard about air cadets when he was eight-years-old.

He was seated next to an air cadet on an airplane flight and was hooked after he heard all about the program. For Andrew the aviation aspect was a huge draw, as he wanted to learn how to fly and knew this would be a great place to start.

After he joined, Andrew made many new friends and learned about everything else, besides flying, you get to do in cadets.

This cemented his desire to stick with it.

Andrew said his favourite aspect of cadets is the ability to attend summer camp every year.

“I love it all but if I had to pick one thing I would have to say the summer camps. In 2008 I attended a basic camp in Bagotville, Que. for two weeks. The following summer, I spent a further three weeks at Bagotville

for the introduction to leadership course, and finally this summer, I spent six weeks in Cold Lake, Alta. attending the senior leadership course,” he said.

“This was certainly among the best six weeks of my life. I would very much like to get the glider scholarship this year and next year, I would like to go on the power pilot scholarship.”

Andrew has also benefited from learning a number of new skills from leadership to survival skills, teamwork, first aid, drill, public speaking, marksmanship, interview skills and more.

Currently holding the rank of sergeant, Andrew is the commander of the flag party and the second-in-command of our drill team. As a sergeant, he is also responsible for supervising some of the younger cadets on training exercises as well as helping them out with their drill and uniforms.

His goal is to be the drill team commander next year and eventually attain the rank of warrant officer first class.

When Andrew graduates from high school he hopes to study aeronautical engineering either at the Royal Military Col-

lege or at a civilian university.

“Through cadets I believe I have really developed as a person,” said Andrew. “I know that because at times I’ve had to command up to 50 cadets, many of them older than myself, and I find I’m much more confident than I was a few years ago. Secondly, my experiences at camp have provided me with a greater sense of responsibility and a much more positive work ethic.

Finally, cadets has given me an opportunity to work as a part of a team on many occasions, which is an experience that I know will pay off in the long run.”

He encourages anyone interested in joining cadets to give it a try.

“There are an incredible number of opportunities in the program. Just at our squadron we have drill team, marksmanship, biathlon, band, Toastmasters and ground school to name a few,” he said. “On top of that you’ll have the opportunity to make countless new friends and to travel all around Canada while going on trips and to camps. You won’t regret it.”
