Kizell given wetland designation Ruling may trump development plans for Beaver Pond SPARKS FLY 10

OUT OF THE DARKNESS Part two of a Metroland Media three-part series looks at the issue of youth suicide.

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A ruling designating the Kizell pond area a provincially significant wetland and an important habitat for endangered species will delay and force changes to the contentious Beaver Pond development. The designation limits the amount of stormwater that can flow into the wetland from neighbouring developments, such as the KNL development, now in the early stage of construction. Opponents of the KNL development, a partnership between Urbandale and Richcraft Homes, suggest the additional protections could make it too costly for the developer to build. But the city could also choose to honour existing development agreements that date back to 2003, or to provide some leniency that would still allow the development to use the Kizell area for some additional stormwater drainage, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “They (KNL) would have to redesign it. It wouldn’t stop it,” Wilkinson said, adding that some drainage is allowed in some other provincially significant wetlands in the city. She said one option could be that the development would have higher-density areas to make up for potential changes in stormwater management requirements. Another option that could be investigated is diverting stormwater to drain into Shirley’s Brook.

Ammonia leak at Scotiabank Place causes building evacuation JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Two people were taken to hospital after an ammonia leak at Scotiabank Place on Thursday, Sept. 15. Scotiabank Place was evacuated due to an ammonia leak in the arena area of the building at around 12:50 p.m. Two people were assessed by paramedics after being exposed to the hazardous material and taken to hospital. Several others were physically ill from the smell, according to an employee at the scene. The ammonia leak was possibly caused by something to do with the ice-making machine, said the employee, who didn’t want to be named.

“They were making ice and there was an ammonia leak,” said the worker. The building’s pipes were immediately shut off and Ottawa fire hazardous materials technicians were on site testing the air quality. Ottawa police shut down Frank Finnigan Way and Cyclone Taylor Boulevard due to the leak. The streets reopened around 3:50 p.m. Employees were allowed back into Scotiabank Place around 3:25 p.m., said firefighter spokesman Marc Messier, adding the affected area was sectioned off. A banquet for the 18th annual Bell-Ottawa Senators Charity Golf Classic was scheduled for that evening and continued as planned, said the employee.

North Kanata parcel a sticking point in urban boundary dispute “It’s not new information. The land sloped that way back in 2009, too,” said Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark. The committee’s chair, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, said he was also skeptical of the change. John Moser, the city’s general manager of planning and growth management, said the new recommendation was based on a servicing plan the owner/developer of the land had provided to the city. The committee heard from about a dozen developers before adjourning the meeting at the without making a decision, because councillors were leaving to attend other commitments and the committee was about to lose quorum. The committee will revisit the issue during its Sept. 27 meeting.

The city’s planning committee delayed a decision on which lands to include in the 850-hectare expansion of the urban boundary, but not before questioning the need for a change to a parcel of land in Kanata. In 2009, city staff prepared a report outlining several parcels of land scattered around the outskirts of the city that could be added into the urban boundary. In an attempt to rein in urban sprawl, city council voted to limit the expansion to 250 hectares – a decision that was struck down this summer by the Ontario Municipal Board. Instead of reverting back to the parcels outlined in the 2009 report, city council asked staff to go back and re-

view any additional information that might change the recommendation of what pieces of land should have municipal water and sewer servicing, which would allow more intensified development. But city staff only recommended one small change to their original proposal: instead of adding a section of land running vertically up March Road from around Klondike Road, staff say the piece of land should extend east from March Road towards March Valley Road. That would allow the natural downward slope of the land to ease wastewater management by allowed it to flow into the Brier Ridge pumping station. But councillors on the committee questioned why that change was recommended at this stage.

City not obliged to adopt Kizell wetland designation KIZELL, from 1 KNL spokesperson Mary Jarvis said the developer is “not quite sure” what the designation will mean for its plans in the area. “We’re investigating the implications of MNR’s position, so we’ll know in the next couple of months,” Jarvis said. The designated wetland is located north of the already-built portions of KNL’s Kanata Lakes subdivision and south of Morgan’s Grant and is already used for some stormwater drainage for the Kanata Estates community. It includes the area around the Beaver Pond, but not the pond itself, which was originally created as a stormwater management pond. A report from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) said the evaluator couldn’t confirm details because he didn’t hear back from aboriginal groups who claimed to have an interest in the Beaver Pond. The city already owns much of the wetland (including the Beaver Pond), but the issue is how the wetland will be affected by stormwater runoff from neighbouring developments – especially Phase 9 of KNL’s subdivision. But just how protected the wetland will be is a decision city council will be faced with next month. While the province has declared the Kizell wetland a “provincially significant wetland,” it is up to the city to

The designated wetland is located north of the already-built portions of KNL’s Kanata Lakes subdivision and south of Morgan’s Grant adopt that protection into its official plan. City staff has been already been working with KNL to finalize stormwater arrangements, and the city’s planning committee will receive a staff report next month with advice on how to proceed with whether to enshrine the wetland designation into the official plan. Wilkinson said she will likely ask the city to host an additional public meeting to let residents weigh in on

the designation, given the high level of interest from the community. But Paul Renaud, a local environmental activist, said the city shouldn’t feel pressured to considered developments that were approved in the past. “It is under no obligation to do so, especially if it contravenes the PPS (Provincial Policy Statement),” Renaud said in a letter sent to Wilkinson. Renaud, who has been pushing for the designation, said he wants to see the city include the full designation in the official plan. If that makes KNL’s development unaffordable, Renaud said the city should look at buying or expropriating the land so that KNL could put their development elsewhere. “That’s the way out,” he said. But Renaud admitted it is unlikely the city would look at that option. “I don’t think you can just assume that the city, on the own, will prevent that,” he said. “They are very pro development.” Renaud and the Friends of the South March Highlands Coalition were one of the groups pushing the province to lobby the city for the designation. That led the province to suggest that the city re-evaluate the wetland earlier this spring, Wilkinson said. Kanata did a study in 1993, before the province introduced the Endangered Species Act, and Kizell did not qualify as provincially significant at that time.

Kanata Lakes man nominated for award after rescue A Kanata Lakes man is being nominated for an award after he helped paramedics locate an injured mountain biker on Thursday, Sept. 15. Brian Clark, who lives on Huntmar Drive, helped by taking paramedics and their equipment into the woods on his ATV and by offering his property for a medical helicopter to land. “It’s just neighbourly more or less,” he said about his help. Living in the area for nine years, he’s walked and rode his ATV through many of the trails. The day of the accident, he brought a paramedic into the woods on his ATV and transported the injured mountain biker out of the woods. “I don’t think it’s needed,” he said about bring nominated for an award. “There’s other people out there in the bush who helped too.” Paramedic spokesperson Robert Leduc said he wasn’t sure which award Clark would be nominated for but that his help was vital in locating and treating the injured 21-year-old biker. “(Clark’s help) certainly made access to the patient a lot faster,” said Leduc.

Around 3:55 p.m. last Thursday, police and paramedics received a call about an injured and stranded mountain biker in the area of the South March Highlands bike trails. The young man had suffered severe trauma to his left leg after crashing his bike and was unable to make his way out of the woods, said the caller. Other mountain bikers in the area performed first aid, said Leduc. The patient was unfamiliar with the trails, so a helicopter was brought in but the woods were too dense to locate him, said the paramedic. Police and paramedics began blasting their vehicles’ horns to in an effort to pin-point the man’s location. Around 5:30 p.m. police located the man deep on the New Outback Trail. Paramedics arrived about 15 minutes later and began treating the biker for soft tissue trauma. After Clark and paramedics helped the patient out of the woods he declined transportation to hospital, said Leduc. Without Clark’s help, Leduc said it would have taken longer for paramedics to reach the patient and begin treatment. “Paramedics would have been walking in with all their equipment,” said Leduc. “Fortunately that wasn’t the case because they had an ATV at their disposal.”

EDITORIAL

Kanata Kourier-Standard - SEPTEMBER 22, 2011

Be daring. Be cool. Be a voter.

pathy isn’t cool and it certainly isn’t sexy. Anybody can do nothing. You, however, can do something. Look at it this way – how often do you have a two-term Liberal premier, whom you either love or hate, taking a third kick at the can? It hasn’t happened since 1990 and, either way you vote, you can make history – you can make Dalton’s day, or send him off to early retirement. There are plenty of editorials out there that are going to tell you it is your civic duty to vote, that if you don’t, you have no right to complain. These are all valid points – but they’re not necessarily fun ones. What is fun is this: you get to be like Donald Trump and fire people on Oct. 6. Or, at least deny people the chance to get a job. We all like to believe that people only vote for altruistic, civic-minded reasons. But you can also vote for petty, personal reasons too. Whatever your reasons for voting, as the sneaker ad says, just do it. You now have more time than ever to do it. After you’re finished reading this, you can fold our paper up and

march on over to a ballot box from now until Election Day and mark your X. You can also vote by mail, on campus, from your hospital bed, or at advance polls. Turnout during the last provincial vote in f 2007 was at an all-time low, with only 52.6 per cent of eligible voters casting their ballots, according to Elections Ontario. You’d have to go all the way back to the previous low set in the Jazz Age, 1923, for their contender of 54.7 per cent. (What a snooze the ’23 vote must’ve been.) But we shouldn’t be so smug. The October 2003 vote, which saw Ernie Eves’ Tories turfed after eight years of Eves/Harris rule, still saw low turnout at 56.9 per cent, and that was when people were riled up enough to throw a government out of office. Well, that was before the big crash of ’08. Boy, we certainly have a lot more on our plates now. Voting takes so little time and makes such a lasting impact. They’re mopping things up in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt and are eagerly awaiting their chance to vote for the first time ever. The worst we’ll have to contend with on our way to the polls is some traffic and lousy weather.

Flash! There’s only so much fun we can stand

aseball began to get interesting a month or so ago. The Blue Jays, although losing, were fun to watch and, locally, the Ottawa Fat Cats were marching through the playoffs. Plus it was warm and sunny outside. Baseball weather. So it seemed like a perfect time to buy a four-year-old his first baseball glove. A visit to Canadian Tire confirmed what anyone familiar with the retail world should have known: Baseball season is not the time to buy a baseball glove; the sporting goods sections are full of hockey equipment; retailers are a season ahead of you. Chalk it up to inexperience. A guy buys a baseball glove only a few times in his life. He forgets that the fall fashions are on sale in the summer and the best supply of bathing suits is available in the winter. If you want to buy a baseball glove, do it in hockey season. However, there were a few on the shelf, including a nice black and blue Rawlings glove that would fit a fouryear-old. His grandfather has a Rawlings baseball glove – a Dave Parker model, just to put it into historical perspective. Dave Parker, whatever his other eccentricities, did not wear a blue glove, but times have changed. KANATA

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Only up to a point, however. The granddaughter, a couple of years younger, will have to wait for her glove until one is on sale in a colour other than pink. The present went over well and it was only when we put on our two Rawlings gloves for a game of catch that I noticed the new glove had a button marked ON/OFF. I pressed it a few times and nothing happened, but eventually somebody more technologically inclined discovered the glove had red lights that flashed when you caught the ball. At which point somebody remarked – it wasn’t I, but wish it was – “I thought catching the ball was supposed to be enough fun.” As it turned out, it was. The glove’s proud new owner was more interested

in catching the ball in the glove than in playing with the flashing lights on it, but it does make you wonder about the degree to which merchandisers think we need to be entertained. Try to find a bar without a television on. Try to find an elevator without music in it. Telling the glove story to a friend brought an interesting reply. “They have fishing rods like that now.” True? Unfortunately, yes. A fishing rod manufacturer has produced, in cooperation with the Disney Company, a series of rods with lights that flash. “This colourful kit featuring classic Disney images is sure to get kids fishing!,” says an online promo. “Each kit includes a 2’6” all-in-one rod and reel spooled with line; flashing lights that pulse when the thumb button is pressed; and a fun, safe casting plug.” Among the Disney images available are Spiderman, Princess, Lightning McQueen, Barbie and Mickey Mouse. I thought catching the fish was supposed to be enough fun. In order to avoid going completely old-fuddy-duddy on this issue, I will admit that this is not the first generation to grow up with brand names. Mickey Mouse and some of his col-

leagues have adorned all manner of toys and games for decades and we grew up with them, as well as the Lone Ranger and other heroes. But flashing lights? Imagine a quiet evening on a calm lake as you silently stalk that big pickerel you just missed last time. A loon calls, a beaver swims away in the distance. And the Barbie fishing rod flashes continuously. What will save us from this, you can only hope, is the innate good sense of kids. Any of them who have actually caught a fish know how much fun it is, more fun than flashing lights. Then maybe they can teach the grownups around them to be more careful what they buy.

The city’s planning committee gave the go-ahead for a seven-storey condo building where a single-family home currently stands on Herzberg Road. The building will house 36 units and will be located right next to the Kanata North Business Park at the northwest corner of Terry Fox Drive. The 25-metre tall building will include an underground parking garage with 44 spaces, with access from Herzberg Road. The property was actually zoned for light industrial use, but there was a house on that site that was allowed to stand. City council still needs to give the new zoning final approval. Allowing a condo building on Herzberg is a good idea, according to a staff report, because it will allow people to talk to employment and amenities, and because the density of the building makes good use of water- and sewer-serviced urban lands. The city report proposes pathways and links to the employment area, and it is nearby transit routes on Terry Fox Drive. While the majority of the lot has been cleared, there are several mature trees

along the perimeter of the 0.15-hectare site. The site is across the road from the Marshes Golf Course, while a series of stacked office buildings have recently been built on the neighbouring property to the north of the new residential building. That didn’t sit well with one neighbouring resident who wrote to the city to complain that the new building would block their view of the golf course. There was also some concern expressed by two residents about traffic, particularly at the busy intersection of Carling Avenue and Herzberg Road. The city is planning to upgrade that intersection to add east- and westbound left-turning lanes on Carling. The westbound right-turn lane will also be lengthened. Extensive studies also had to be done to ensure the future residents wouldn’t be at any risk from microwave radiation coming from the federal government’s Communications Research Centre (CRC) on Carling Avenue. Restrictions require an residential buildings to be 500 m away from the CRC site and no more than 25metres tall, and the property owner agreed to meet those conditions when designing the condo building.

To the editor: On Saturday, Sept. 24, our son Anthony will be walking in support of the Down Syndrome Association. He will be proudly joined by family, friends and members of the Down Syndrome Association National Capital Region (DSANCR). Our walk is organized by an enthusiastic group within the Down Syndrome Association in our National Capital Region. Our walk begins promptly at 9 a.m., with a warm-up, followed by a scenic tour through the beautiful Andrew Hayden Park at 10 a.m. The park is located off Carling Ave. Our walk is free to all who wish to join, that does not stop Anthony from looking for sponsors and donations on behalf of the Down Syndrome Association. Our past initiatives for fund raising included selling T-shirts designed by Anthony’s mom, with the support ribbon for Down Syndrome with Anthony’s face within it! We call ourselves Anthony’s Alliance. For new faces wishing to join us on our walk, our group will be sporting these T-shirts. Anthony would be so excited to have you join us in our effort to have fun and bring awareness and acceptance for individuals with Down Syndrome. So be sure to find us and introduce yourselves to Anthony, his family, his friends and most of all his fellow members of the Down Syndrome Association of the National Capital Region. Thank you on behalf of Anthony’s Alliance and the Down Syndrome Association-National Capital Region. We all look forward to meeting you! Patricia Filoso Ottawa ***

dogs running around our community, I must assume that these are the leavings of local pets. Most fascinating were the six that were bagged and then dropped. The eight-footfence on one side and the forest on the other gives you lazy folk the opportunity to offend without fear of being seen. You know that this behaviour is wrong because you choose this area to walk your dog. I am sure that none of the property owners whose back fence you are using as a bathroom would appreciate the smell and flies that your inconsiderate behaviour causes. There is no excuse for this. If stooping to scoop your pet’s waste is too difficult, too demeaning, or too much work, then perhaps you should rethink the choice to own a dog in the city. Chances are those, who feel that the laws and responsibilities of a community do not apply to them, will not change their behaviour over a letter to the editor, but perhaps awareness of the problem will help the rest of us stand up for a cleaner community. We, as citizens, need to challenge the offenders when we see them, and perhaps bylaw officers should frequent this area at night – they would be sure to fill city coffers with fines they could dole out. Here is hoping for more neighbourly neighbours and a less stinky walk. Susan Farrell Morgan’s Grant

Candidates clash in Kanata debate COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

It didn’t take long for community members to come out swinging at a Carleton-Mississippi Mills all-candidate’s debate on Sept. 19 held by the Kanata Chamber of Commerce and Metroland Media Group at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Kanata. In the first question of the evening, Progressive Conservative candidate Jack MacLaren faced Matt Muirhead, a Kanata resident and former executive director of the riding’s provincial Progressive Conservative association. Calling Tory veteran Norm Sterling’s ousting “wrong”, Muirhead said that he himself has been banned from the party for life and has since become a supporter of Cornell. Muirhead asked if MacLaren should be ejected from the party also, considering his past support of the Green party. “I appreciate good people from any party in a good party,” MacLaren responded, “and I appreciate when there’s not good people in a party too.”

HEALTH CARE But after the audience quieted down, one question was asked again and again: How will the new MPP address problems with Ontario’s health-care system? Many sweeping topics were targeted, including the HST, education and the environment, but community members at the microphone kept coming back to health care. MacLaren, Liberal candidate Megan Cornell, NDP candidate Liam Duff and Green candidate Scott Simser all attended the all-candidates meeting, outlining their parties plan for better health care. Simser communicated through an interpreter who spoke for him as he signed his responses, and said that while only half of Ontarians currently have a family doctor, the Green party will increase that number to 90 per cent by 2020. “More than 630,000 people in Ontario don’t have access to a family doctor,” Simser said, “and 90 per cent that do have access complain that they’re not satisfied.” Cornell said that while it costs around $1,000 per day to fully support a senior in a hospital, it only costs $100 per day to keep them at home – which is where they want to be, she said. Highlighting the success of the family health clinics in West Carleton and Almonte, Cornell said that Kanata needs a new health hub to bring better health care to Western Ottawa residents. “If anyone here is still struggling to find a family doctor, I can tell you that the West Carleton Family Health Team has just opened up (a clinic) to thousands of new patients,” Cornell said. MacLaren outlined his party’s healthcare platform, which calls for doubling the caregiver tax credit, creating 5,000 new hospital beds and renovating 3,500 existing ones. Duff said his party will create 50 new family health care clinics. “Health care is a huge priority for us,” Duff said. “We want to reach out to a quarter of a million people without health care right now.”

Seniors centre hosts election forum

The candidates for the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding squared off in a debate at Holy Trinity Catholic High School on Sept. 19, discussing issues ranging from health care to deamalgamation. DEAMALGAMATION When asked about deamalgamation of the City of Ottawa, MacLaren said he would support it. As a past president of the Carleton Landowners Association, he said he worked aggressively towards deamalgamation in the past. “Basically, we were saying to people there is a difference between the nature of urban and rural spaces. There’s no right or wrong, they’re just different,” he said. “In other communities across Canada, deamalgamations have happened and they were successful, and they were appropriate. If people want to talk about this, I would be more than happy to talk to anybody about that. I’m nothing but the voice of all of you.” MacLaren outlined many programs the Conservatives plan to axe if elected, including the 14 branches of the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), the Ontario Green Energy Act, and the Ontario Power Authority, “a body that serves no purpose to tax payers,” MacLaren said. Defending the LHIN, Cornell said that by cancelling the program, the Conservatives would only gain 18 hours worth of care. “The Tories can talk about trimming the fat all they want,” she said, “but that (cutting the LHIN) won’t solve anything.” The LHIN was created by the Ontario government in March 2006 to work with local health providers and community members to integrate health services. Another program on the Conservative’s chopping block is the $7-billion deal McGuinty’s Liberal government made with Samsung last year in an investment aiming to create enough wind and solar electricity to power more than 580,000 homes in the province. “That’s money badly spent,” MacLaren said, which was received with raucous

cheers from his supporters. “We won’t sign any more deals for solar panels or wind turbines,” he said, adding that the party would honour existing contracts. Discussing a topic a little closer to home, candidates addressed the issue of overcrowding in local schools. Cornell outlined her position as chair of the Kanata North Accommodation Review Committee (ARC), and mentioned that she would like to see a new school built in Stittsville. MacLaren said that his party plans to increase education spending by $2 billion per year by the end of their four-year term, and that they would look to local school boards to decide how the money would be best spent. “We will free the teachers to teach,” he said. “We will give them discretion to do what they feel is best.” Simser agreed that the school boards know best, and should be left to manage the money. “The government needs to leave them and let them teach,” Simser said. All candidates agreed that the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), an independent tribunal given the power to appeal municipal decisions, is necessary but in need of reform. “It needs to be more accountable,” Duff said of the OMB. “Any organization that can squash a movement that people are trying to make shouldn’t be possible.” For the first time in over 30 years, there will be no incumbent’s name on the ballot for Carleton-Mississippi Mills’ provincial election on Oct. 6, a point that Duff reminded the audience of during the debate. “There will be change,” Duff said. “The question is, what change and in what direction?” Cynthia Bredfeldt, who is running for the Family Coalition, was the only Carleton-Mississippi Mills not in attendance.

Candidates clashed over provincial debt, emergency room wait times and health care at an elections all-candidates forum for the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding at the Kanata Seniors Centre on Thursday, Sept. 15. The election forum was attended by Liam Duff (New Democratic Party), Scott Simser (Green Party), Jack MacLaren (Progressive Conservative Party) and Megan Cornell (Liberal Party); A fifth candidate, Cynthia Bredfeldt (Family Coalition Party) was not at the forum. Ontario’s $250-billion debt and $14-billion deficit took centre stage at the election forum several times, with the candidates taking turns blaming either the Liberal or the Conservative parties for the province’s fiscal problems. “Ontario is in trouble,” said MacLaren. “We’ve had eight years of a downward turning economy.” Since the Liberals took power, the province has lost 300,000 jobs, said MacLaren. “Ontario has become a have-not province,” he said. “It’s time for a change.” But the Liberal government inherited a $5.6 billion debt when it first took power in 2004, money hidden in the books by the Eves government, shot back Cornell. The Liberal government has produced six balanced budgets over the past eight years, said Cornell, pointing out that the government only fell back into deficit following the 2008 Great Recession – a pattern followed by governments throughout the world, including Canada’s federal Tory government. The Ontario PC party’s fiscal platform doesn’t add up, she said. “The Conservatives are saying they’re going to spend more money and collect less taxes,” she said, sparking a grumble from the audience of more than 100 seniors gathered in the room. “That’s nonsense!” yelled one man. “They’re going to clean up your mess!” “Don’t get riled now,” said another voice in the crowd. The Liberals and Conservatives both promise to eliminate the deficit by 2017, while the Greens are targeting 2015. “We believe in a fiscal conservative government,” said Simser. He said the Tories economic plan has “a $14-billion hole” in it. The Ontario Greens are promising to balance the budget without cutting services or raising taxes. The Green Party will increase the personal exemption for provincial income taxes by $2,000. The Greens will also provide $1.6 billion over four years in refundable tax credits for tenants, homeowners and businesses to invest in energy retrofits. The NDP is promising $300 million in cuts, but has not presented any plans to cut the now provincial government’s $14 billion annual deficit. MacLaren said a Tory government will freeze taxes.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - SEPTEMBER 22, 2011

Your Carleton-Mississippi Mills candidates Bredfeldt talks tax incentives DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@hotmail.com

A strong family means a strong Ontario. That essentially sums up the platform of Mississippi Mills resident Cynthia Bredfeldt, a well-known piano teacher and Family Coalition candidate in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding As a teacher for 30 years, Bredfeldt noted that her party would provide money to bus kids to schools such as Montessori or Christian schools, and provide an education tax credit to homeschooled children. “The Family Coalition does not advocate that the mother stays at home,” said Bredfeldt noting that the credit should allow one parent to be able to stay at home if they choose. Another party platform plank that she is very excited about is their proposal to retrofit

under-populated schools as seniors centres. “Schools are closing,” she said. “Why bulldoze it down? There is going to be a tremendous need for that.” With the name “family” in the title, there are several family-friendly initiatives that Bredfeldt will be stumping for in her first ever-run for political office. “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a tax incentive for families if they built on an addition to their house for a granny suite?” she asked. Such a move, she said, would keep seniors at home, and would reduce the burden on the social service and health care systems. Her party would also offer tax credits for married couples who wanted to undergo marriage counselling, or take part in family counselling. “If they can decrease divorce by half, the burden on society would be cut through less depen-

dence on social service,” she explained. On economic matters, her party would cap the feed-in tariff for “green energy” programs like solar energy, which is currently set at about 80 cents per kilowatt hour for a fixed period. “We can’t sustain that,” she said. Her party wants the Ontario Power Authority disbanded, and their duties farmed out to local power utilities.

NDP candidate inspired by Layton COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

When 22-year-old Liam Duff witnessed the wave of young NDP MPs elected in this year’s federal election, it sealed the deal on his decision to run as Carleton-Mississippi Mill’s NDP candidate. “I was tired of hearing people say, ‘I want something different,’” Duff said. “So I decided I’m going to make that change.” In his third year in Communications at the University of Ottawa, Duff said his energy and young age will help him gain access to youth who have an historically low voter turnout. “I’m proud to be part of the young generation that’s getting into politics, that’s been inspired by people like Jack Layton,” he said. Duff said he’s also going door-to-door to find out what his riding needs.

“I’m trying to run a campaign based on talking to people,” he said. “Being young, I don’t come across as intimidating and people are willing to talk to me.” Duff has lived in Kanata for the past 11 years. His father is an artillery officer in the military, and his mother was a town councilor when they lived in New Brunswick. For the past two summers, Duff has worked for YMCA summer camps. During his time as a political science student, he volunteered for the Association Internationale des Étudiants en Sciences Économiques et Commerciales (AIESEC), the world’s largest student-run international organization. There, he helped facilitate business internships for students abroad and at home. After graduation from the University of Ottawa, Duff plans to attend law school and stay involved

Cornell looks to revive high-tech Megan Cornell is looking to revive Silicon Valley in Kanata North. The Liberal Party candidate in Carleton-Mississippi Mills said things haven’t been the same since the downturn in the high-tech sector. “We have this great history of Silicon Valley north but have experienced a slow down since the bubble burst in hightech. There’s not that same sense that we’re the place to be,” said the 37year-old. “We used to be the most exciting place to come to work; that image is not really there. That is one of the things I really want to work on as MPP is bring together the right people…revive high-tech and our image.” The business lawyer said she also wants to tackle the issue of overcrowding in area schools

“I am the candidate with the track record in the community on the issues most important to us,” she said. “I am the candidate that will best represent all four corners of our riding, the urban and the rural. I am also going to be the MPP best able to bring the community together to create the kind of community we all want to live in.”

Time for a change: MacLaren BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

in politics. “The tides are really shifting right now,” he said, “not just with the NDP but youth in general. I’m really hoping to stay at the forefront of that change. Change focused on policy, change based on what people are telling me at their doors.” To learn more about C a rl e t o n - M i s s i s s i p p i Mills NDP candidate Liam Duff, visit www.liamduff.ontariondp.ca.

and the need for another high school in Stittsville. The Kanata Lakes resident added she’d like to see Carleton-Mississippi Mills boast a health hub, similar to what is being offered in Orleans. “I think it would really be a huge boost for our riding in terms of access to health care services,” said the married mother of two. Cornell ran for office in 2007, losing to Conservative Norm Sterling, but said this time around she feels much more prepared. “Between the four years I was very active in the community and volunteering my time,” she said. “I’m much more known among community groups and associations. I’m much more aware of the local issues.” The former president of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce said she wants to bring people together within the riding.

Ontario is in trouble, said Jack MacLaren, Progressive Conservative candidate for CarletonMississippi Mills. The province’s debt has doubled since the Liberals took power eight years ago, and now sits at $250 billion, said MacLaren. “We think we’re OK – we’re not OK,” said MacLaren. “We do have a debt problem. Ontario has become a have-not-province, with the province forced to take money from other provinces like Newfoundland to pay its bills. Meanwhile taxes have gone up and Ontarians have seen their hydroelectricity costs rise by 150 per cent under the Liberal government’s watch, he said. A Tory government will freeze taxes and maintain funding of health care and education, promised MacLaren. “Everything else is on

the table to scrutinize,” he said. The Progressive Conservatives would eliminate the province’s local integrated health care networks and eliminate the Ontario Power Authority, created by the Liberals. A Tory government would remove the province’s portion of the HST on hydro bills and eliminate debt retirement fees charged to rate payers. It would cancel the Green Energy Act and pull out of deals with companies subsidized by the Ontario government to provide alternative energy such as the multibillion dollar deal with Samsung. One of MacLaren’s biggest pet peeves is big-government’s interference with small businesses accompanied by higher costs, taxes and red tape. A Tory government will cut “the regulatory burden” at Queen’s Park by 30 per cent, he said. MacLaren, a 62-year-old

resident of MacLaren’s Landing and a farmer in West Carleton, holds a bachelor of science in civil engineering from Queen’s University. MacLaren is a past president of the Ontario Landowners Association as well as a director of the region’s Federation of Agriculture. He won the Tory nomination for Carleton-Mississippi Mills last spring, defeating Norm Sterling, a 34-year veteran at Queen’s Park.

YOUR ‘DREAM JOB’

Kanata lawyer goes Green COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Carleton-Mississippi Mills Green candidate Scott Simser has been deaf since birth, and his mother taught him to speak one word at a time. Now, the 46-year-old husband, father and lawyer speaks eloquently and clearly, and owns his own law firm, Simser Consulting. He takes after his father, Graham (known as Ray), who was the first practicing lawyer in Kanata in the 1960’s. After running unsuccessfully for the federal Liberals twice, Simser opted to transition to the provincial Green Party, which he said is a better fit. “I like a party that is socially progressive, but fiscally conservative,” he said. With a Bachelor of Commerce from the Uni-

versity of Ottawa, plus MBA and CMA certifications from York University, Simser joked, “Maybe I have too many degrees.” He lives in Kanata with his wife Lori who is hard of hearing and works for the Capital Hearing Clinic, and their three sons: Matthew, 12; Graham, 8; and Oliver, 4. Simser was the leading lawyer in a 2006 legal victory requiring federal government to provide interpreters for deaf people free of charge. “I have a perspective that’s important in this riding,” he said. “I’ve owned a small business. I know how frustrating red tape and bureaucracy can be. I can cut through that red tape as an MPP.” The Green Party came in third place last provincial election, and Simser said that proves people are taking the party seriously. Having spent most of

his life living in Kanata, Simser said he knows the community well and could serve its people. “I don’t want to be remembered for anything grand,” he said, “I just want to serve this riding as MPP. I want to listen to them and help advocate for them. I hope they vote for the boy who grew up here.” To learn more about Scott Simser, visit his blog at www.scotts.kevino.net.

Beaverbrook parks commemorate war veterans BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

Five parks in Beaverbrook named after Canadian war veterans held their official dedication ceremonies at Ed Hollyer Park on Saturday, Sept. 17. It’s been a long time coming, said John Gooch, the driving force behind organizing the ceremonies and the man responsible for construction of the Kanata Cenotaph, located in Village Green Square. In 2000, the former city of Kanata requested Gooch, a representative of the Kanata Legion, to assist in naming nine new municipal parks created near the Cenotaph area. A year later, Kanata was absorbed into the newly-amalgamated City of Ottawa, and nothing was done to place the name plaques at the nine parks. “Over two years ago, I contacted the City of Ottawa and they agreed to set up the process,” said Gooch. “At long last the plaques have been placed at the four parks.” Gooch said he’s waiting for word from the city about when plaques will be provided for the remaining five parks.

Andy Turcotte played Last Post while Royal Canadian Legion members stood guard at Ed Hollyer Park in Beaverbrook on Sept. 17. A commemoration ceremony marked the renaming of the park after Edgar Herbert Hollyer, a recipient of the Victoria Cross for his service with the Canadian army. Hollyer is one of five veterans whose names were memorialized in Beaverbrook parks on Sept. 17. The other four men honoured were Alexander Robert Dunn, Robert Hampton Gray, Ernest Alvia Smith and Billy Bishop, all of whom received a Victoria Cross.

Monday, October 3, 2011 from 6:30pm-8:30pm

PARKS The five parks officially dedicated are: Ed Hollyer M.C. Park, located at 125 Bishop Mills Dr.; Robert Gray V.C. Park, 147 Gray Cres.; Billy Bishop V.C. Park, 1 Bishops Mills Way; Alexander Dunn V.C. Park, 100 Bellrock Dr.; and Ernest Smith V.C. Park, 43 Bishops Mill Way. • Col. Alexander Dunn (Victoria Cross): Born in Toronto in 1833, Dunn joined the British army’s 11th Hussars when he was 19 years old. Dunn served in the Crimean War where he was awarded the Victoria Cross, becoming the first Canadian to be given the honour. • Lt.-Col. Edgar Herbert Hollyer, (Military Cross): a Kanata resident, enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942

and later joined the Canadian Army as a private, when he was posted to the Royal Canadian Regiment. He served in the Korean War from 1953-54 and was awarded the Military Cross for bravery, when his platoon came under heavy attack from the Chinese and eventually was overrun. Hollyer requested artillery fire on his own position and remained at his post, driving the enemy off with grenades. Although his position was overrun, he led the survivors away to safety. • Pvt. Ernest “Smokey” Alvia Smith (Victoria Cross): Born in Westminister, B.C. in 1914, Smith served with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada in the Second World War. Smith was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on the night of Oct. 21-22, 1944, when his unit was attempting to establish a bridgehead across the Savio River. During an attack by three Mark V Panther tanks and about 30 German infantry, Smith, armed with an antitank gun put one of the Panthers out of action and drove back the enemy infantry. He held his position until the enemy withdrew. • Air Marshall William Avery Bishop: Born in 1894 in Owen Sound, Ont., Bishop was the first Canadian airman to be awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during an early morning attack on an enemy airfield near Cambrai, France, on June 2, 1917. Flying a solo mission behind enemy lines, Bishop destroyed seven aircraft stationed at an enemy aerodrome. By the end of the First World War, Bishop had shot down 72 planes, the second highest number of kills by a pilot in the British Empire. • Lt. Robert Hampton Gray: Born in Trail, B.C. in 1917, Gray was a fighter pilot during the Second World War. He was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously for destroying the enemy escort vessel Amakusa in Onagawa Wan Bay on Aug. 9, 1945, when he led eight Corsair fighters from the HMS Formidable on a mission to bomb enemy shipping.

Kanata resident puts paper cups to artistic use JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A resident of Kanata Place Revera retirement residence has found a creative way to use discarded medicine cups. Pierre Lalonde has been creating sculptures out of recycled medicine cups since June of this year. A recent monument of the Eiffel Tower took over 800 cups, 80 straws, 28 glue sticks and just over 16 hours of work. Lalonde, who is in a wheelchair after losing part of his right leg, worked on the artistic piece in stages. “I started with the corners,” he said. “I started with the (bottom half) on my bed, then moved it to the floor.” He then worked on the middle and top sections. Lalonde added arches and an antenna on top, similar to the real tower. He added four pieces of cardboard to add stability. The 62-year-old grandfather of four got the idea to reuse the pill cups after seeing how many were being thrown out each day. “They were throwing them out,” said Lalonde, who used to live in Dunrobin and Richmond before relocating to Kanata

Place. “I thought maybe I could do something with them.” Lalonde placed a brown paper bag in the dining room asking people to drop in their used medicine cups instead of tossing them in the garbage. He collects around 180 of the little white paper cups every day, he said. A carpenter by trade, Lalonde worked as an apprentice and then for his own renovation business for about 15 years. After that, he worked for the Ot-

“He’s got a great mind and that concept of being visual. ” Michelle Landry

tawa-Carlton Catholic School Board before he retired. “I just thought it was amazing, I had to ask what he used to do,” said Michelle Landry, a dietary aide at Kanata Place after she saw Lalonde’s Eiffel Tower. “He’s got the knack and the knowledge.” Lalonde has created many

medicine cup masterpieces, including a water wheel that scoops up water, a tricycle, a bicycle with a chain and spoke wheels and a number of decorative crosses that were sold in the residence’s tuck shop. “He’s got a great mind and that concept of being visual,” said Landry. His very first sculpture, a cone-shaped lamp cover, sits proudly in Eleanor Cowburn’s room. When a lamp is placed inside the cover it lights up and casts a soft glow through the cups. It took 360 cups to complete, said Lalonde. “Everything I’ve been doing works,” he said with a laugh. With each completed piece Lalonde holds a competition for the other residents, where they have to guess something like how much time it took him to finish the work or how many cups were used. The winner of each competition gets to decide what to do with the sculpture. Beryl Parks, from Stittsville, had the closest guess for how long it took Lalonde to build the Eiffel Tower. The sculpture is on display in the residence but Parks hasn’t decided what to do with it yet, said Lalonde.

Marianne Wilkinson asked the candidates if they would support an existing agreement for the provincial government to upload $1.5 billion in the social services and court securities costs from the municipalities by 2018. “We would do what is best for the taxpayers of Ontario,” said MacLaren. “If we feel it does not serve taxpayers, we would not honour it.” Cornell said that if the province does not honour the agreement, the cost to deliver the services will shift to the municipal tax bill. Duff said his party would honour the municipal uploading agreement. Under the Tories “Changebook plan”, the Harmonized Sales Tax will be cut from home heating and hydro bills, MacLaren said. HST Duff said the NDP will lighten the load on taxpayers budget by taking the HST off of daily essen-

“I want to know what they’re going to cut,” said Cornell. The last time the Tories were in power, the Harris government cut nurses and teachers, she said. MacLaren promised the Tories will maintain funding for health care and education. “Everything else is on the table to scrutinize.”

tials such as home heating, electricity and gasoline. An NDP government would expand transit options and freeze fares, he said. The NDP would introduce a “Buy Ontario” economic plan, introducing a law that forces the provincial government to make its purchases – such as contracts for transit cars – from companies in Ontario. “That will translate into jobs further down the line,” said Duff. The NDP also promise to eliminate corporate tax cuts.

HEALTH CARE All the candidates agreed to make health care a priority. The NDP will invest in 50 new community health clinics that will serve as many as 250,000 patients and cut waiting times at the hospitals’ emergency rooms, said Duff. Simser said the Green Party will invest $2 billion for home care for seniors; his party has also committed to invest $1.6 billion to support new innovative businesses in Ontario, a plan it says will create more than 20,000 jobs. Cornell promised to work to help create a “health hub” in Kanata. The Liberals have also pledged to spend $60 million annually for a program that allows health care providers to perform house calls for seniors, and provide an additional three million hours of home care from personal support workers.

Non-profit to build home for those with brain injuries JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

An organization supporting individuals with acquired brain injury is in the process of developing a group home in Kanata south. Pathways to Independence is fundraising to build a home for people who need guidance and care after suffering significant brain trauma.

“We’re really committed to a home atmosphere.” Sandy Jenkyns

“Some people who have suffered and acquired brain injuries lose living skills,” said Sandy Jenkyns, manager of support services for the Ottawa-area Pathways to Independence. “I would like people to understand that the folks that we support were active, employed, family-oriented, people who are very active in their

communities. They were you and I until they had their acquired brain injury from whatever cause.” Acquired brain injuries can result from a range of reasons, including brain aneurisms, lack of oxygen due to a medical situation such as a heart attack and strokes, and vehicle accidents. The not-for-profit is looking to raise around $250,000 to help build an eight-bedroom house for people who can no longer care for themselves. The organization held the ninth annual Pathways Golf Classic on Sept. 15 to help raise money and will be holding other fundraisers in the future, said Jenkyns. The house will be built on a vacant lot on Bachman Terrace in Katimavik, said Jenkyns, adding she’s met the neighbours in the area and has their support. “They were very positive. A couple of them have offered to be volunteers down the road,” she said. “I’ve found them to be remarkable people; we’ve had great reception.” No design plans have been made to date, but Jenkyns said the organization hopes to have

She said they are moving residents out of the current group home in Osgoode to the one

that will be built in Kanata. The current home is an older, multilevel residence that doesn’t suit the needs of those living there, she said.

“We want to relocate the people into the community where there’s lots to do and they’re closer to their family members,” said Jenkyns. “A huge part of our philosophy is to give people the opportunity to be in the community of their own choice and to be involved in activities of their own choice. “We’re really committed to a home atmosphere.” Six residents live in the current home but Jenkyns said she’s hoping to add two more people in the new house. “The Ministry of Health tends to place people in longterm care facilities regardless of their age. Our philosophy, if we had unlimited funds, would be to create a home for these people, similar to what they had built before,” she said. “Our hope is always we’ll help people maximize their independence.” Pathways to Independence also offers residential options to people with developmental disabilities. The not-for-profit supports independent living, an outreach service for people with acquired brain injury and a day program. For more information, visit www.pathwaysind.com.

Councillor wants to clean up donation bins LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is looking to clean up the mess left by clothing donation bins at Jack Charon Arena – and around the city. The Jubilee Donations bins are of particular concern to his residents, Hubley said, because they are not emptied regularly and it’s not clear if Jubilee is a registered charity. Hubley said he called the phone number listed on the box and deter-

mined that Jubilee is a storage company. “This is like storage wars. They are coming and taking these clothes, putting them in storage lockers and auctioning them off for their own profit. There is no benefit to the community,” he said. Hubley said people or animals end of tearing through bags of clothes that are left to pile up around the untended donation boxes. “So it becomes a burden on the employees of the city to have to clean this

thing up,” Hubley said. Because the Jubilee bins are situated on property owned exclusively by the city, Hubley wants city staff to look into what type of policy (if any) is in place to regulate agreements between private companies or groups and the city for the use of public space. Hubley also wants to know how the agreements are enforced, or how they could be enforced, and whether the city could recover legal costs for the removal of the boxes and rent for allowing them on city property. 493802

‘It takes a village to raise a child’ Know the warning signs and where to go if you know a teen who needs help BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

obile Crisis kicks ass! The message is scribbled in a scrapbook kept in the war room of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa’s 24-hour crisis hotline. The hotline staff call it the cookie jar. It’s a collection of thank-you notes and messages of hope scribbled or pasted on each page of the scrapbook written by the staff. None of the notes come from the clients, the dozens of youth and parents who call the centre every week and receive help from the social workers who man the hotline. But that’s a good thing, said Ted Charette, the co-ordinator of the bureau’s Mobile Crisis and Intake Services. “A lot of the time we don’t know the impact we have, because we don’t bring them here for too long,” he said. Staff at the crisis line field more than 6,000 phone calls every year and assist youth ages 0 to 18. If necessary, a crisis worker can jump in a car and visit a youth at their home. The hotline is often the city’s first stop for children wrestling with mental health issues or parents seeking help for their troubled teens. The staff is trained to deal with emergency situations and then, if needed,

WARNING SIGNS Adults need to look for the warning signs and take action early, says Ted Charette, the co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake Services. Some include: • A sudden drop in marks at high school • Changes in sleeping and eating habits • Loss of enjoyment in what used to be favourite activities • Low energy and poor concentration • A personality change • Outbursts of anger or rage • Neglect of personal appearance

OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide Part 2: How to detect if your child needs help and what resources are available for assistance. refer teens and children to youth mental health services in Ottawa. But it all boils down to making that first contact, said Charette. “I don’t think there’s a difficulty making a connection,” he said. “It’s getting a hold of them.” A teenager lacks the experience and knowledge to cope with mental illness and often feels no one can help them, Charette said. “The first person a teenager will speak to when they feel challenged is going to be another teenager.”. PARENTS ARE KEY Parents can play a key role in their child’s mental health, said Charette. The first step is maintaining an open line of communication. Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions, such as, “Anything interesting happen at school today?” Charette said. “Connect with the kids,” he said. “Make the time.” If they notice signs of depression and are worried their children are having suicidal thoughts, parents should call the 24-hour crisis line: 613-260-2360, said Charette. Youth can also visit the walk-in clinic, located at 2301 Carling Avenue, the second floor, which is free for youth ages 12 to 20 and parents and open every Thursday from noon to 8 p.m. “A lot of our calls are initiated by parents and not youth,” he said. “We’re a very good option for a first phone call. “We have incredible success once we can get our hands on them – it’s just getting them,” said Charette. “Because they don’t reach out, we need adults.” Children attempt suicide for a variety of reasons, said Dr. Ian Manion, a clinical psychologist and the executive director for the Ontario Centre of Excellence for child and youth mental health at CHEO. Acute stressors include relationship loss, bullying, embarrassment and aca-

demic performance. “It could be a variety of things,” Manion said. “A moment in time could be overwhelming for young persons.” Youth have limited problem-solving skills and emotional maturity, he said. Parents can bring their children to CHEO if they express suicidal thoughts. “You are seen,” said Manion. “You’re not put on a waiting list.” DARON Ever since the parents of Daron Richardson publicized the details of their 14-year-old daughter’s suicide on Nov. 15, 2010, the issue of suicide and youth mental health has caught the country’s attention. During a press conference following his daughter’s death, Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson, said he and his wife talked about difficult subjects with their daughter such as alcohol and drug abuse and sex, but they never discussed mental health. “I wish we did talk about it before,” he said. “But we just didn’t think it was there.” Manion said many parents won’t go

for help because of the stigma of mental health issues. “That’s a huge barrier in mental health in general,” he said. “That’s where we have to do a better job in supporting parents.” It’s important to educate people about mental health issues and identify the resources available in the community, he said. The sooner the better when dealing with mental health problems, said Manion. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10 to 24, according to recent numbers from Statistics Canada. In 2007, 508 youth killed themselves, with many more attempting it. “Even more importantly, studies show a significant percentage of adolescents contemplate, plan or attempt suicide without seeking or receiving help,” said Cheryl Vrkljan, a Hamilton-based program consultant for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Anyone can help, said Vrkljan. “What people do need to know is the right way to help,” she said. See JUST, page 15

he two jumbo couches are past their prime, but they’re comfy enough to swallow you whole. Twenty teens are stretched out on them, in the converted factory that is home to Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee. Artwork overlooks the main room and there’s a drum set in the corner. It’s shared with a kitchen where youth learning to cook churned out 2,800 home-cooked meals last year. The youth centre has a range of programs and welcomes drop-ins, but those on the couches are from YAK’s Skills Links programs in Perth and Smiths Falls. They are deemed “high-risk” youth, and range in age from 16 to 24. The program gives them six months of full-time training, a $332.50 stipend, and a chance to overcome what stands between them, a job, or going back to school. A fly on the wall would get a crash course in the issues plaguing Ontario’s rural youth. Those here today represent some of Eastern Ontario’s unhealthiest youth. In Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, teens have some of the region’s highest rates of smoking, drinking, obesity, unemployment and stress, as reported by the Child and Youth Health Network of Eastern Ontario’s recent study. They’re talking about youth suicide. Many are all too familiar with it, and the discussion flows for about an hour before the drum roll of toes gets too loud to ignore. Time for a smoke break. Several of them have helped a friend struggling with thoughts of suicide. Some have struggled themselves. All around, the opinions are varied and strong. Marcy Vincent remembers hearing her friend, then seven-months pregnant, say she was thinking of killing herself. Immediately, with a ride from her parents, Marcy drove over. “I stayed up with her for three days straight. There was no way I could go to sleep and leave her feeling that way,” recalls Marcy. In the end, her friend revealed her struggle to her parents, who hooked her up with a psychologist. “Nothing was scarier than those three nights.” YAK’s gem is its open doors. The fact kids are drawn to them on their own

accord is the real value of the centre. For many of the nearly 600 youth who came to YAK in 2010, it was an essential support. Hailing mainly from Perth and its neighbouring townships, the YAK’s following grew by more than a third last year. “Hope is a huge issue for young people, because they don’t see it as something that dominates their life,” says YAK’s executive director, Darinka Morelli. A lack of “corporate appeal” has long plagued YAK and others serving youth, Morelli says. Not little and cute, the teens they help are rougher around the edges. It’s easier to tell them no. Now, after 14 years of operation, the future of YAK’s lifeblood funding appears as tenuous as ever. They need guaranteed funding to have access to government grants. From Service Canada, these account for about 80 per cent of their funding, but are locked into the Skills Link program. In recent years, Lanark County has funded all five of its youth centres with an annual $40,000 grant, earmarked for staffing costs. For “bricks and mortar” funding, YAK relies on the Town of Perth and the townships of Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley. Earlier this year, as municipal governments went through budget deliberations with a shakey economic backdrop, both wells got a little drier. At the Town of Perth, grants have gone up and down in recent years. YAK asked for a repeat of $12,000 for 2011, and walked away with $10,000. Councillors debated further cuts. As the centre’s financial books show, Tay Valley’s contributions have held steady at about half that amount, while provincial grants have dwindled to the triple digits. The past three fiscal years show no contribution from Drummond/North Elmsley, though Morelli says the township has contributed $1,000 for 2011. Meanwhile, at the county level, councillors decided to cut their grants program entirely. YAK will still get funding for now, from the social services budget, but has been asked to develop a plan to wean themselves off county funding over the next three years. “I think most definitely, if the taxpayer doesn’t support the youth centre, it will not sustain itself,” says Morelli. Instead, she says, they have to ask themselves a tough question: do you

Always planning ahead, Morelli said she’s been looking at one day starting a side-business, a tutoring service, to help the centre survive. With one pot of money and competing interests, funding has always been a real struggle in the children’s services field, says Nicki Collins, founding executive director of Doors for Lanark Children and Youth. They’re a non-profit organization backed by the provincial government, providing free counselling services for kids up until their 18th birthday. By intervening early to help youth and their families with issues ranging from depression to sexual abuse and beyond, they hope to solve mental health problems before they get more serious. But, like youth centres, Open Doors is not a mandated service, and struggles as a result, says Collins.

“Every child has right to an education, we all have a right to health care, but…you don’t necessarily have a right to have children’s mental health services,” she says. Last year, Open Doors saw more than 1,000 young people at its Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Lanark Highlands offices. While demand has steadily increased – up 40 per cent in 10 years – their funding from the ministry of children and youth services has hardly budged. In the 15 years Collins has been at the helm, she has seen their funding base increase by eight per cent. “We don’t get cost of living (increases), ever,” said Collins. It’s been a struggle to keep up with the need for services since the area saw a cluster of six youth suicides last year. Since 2008, the organization has had to cut three full-time counsellors, a management position, their after-hours service, and 80 percent of their psychological services, Collins said. Currently, there are nearly 100 people who have been on the wait-list for more than a month. Open Doors doesn’t treat anyone older than 18, but they’re not the only ones feeling the surge in mental health needs. Deborah Snow of Lanark County Mental Health says the staff she supervises at their Smiths Falls office has seen a significant increase in the number of “transitional-aged youth” – those not quite 18 but close enough – coming to them for help in recent years. Their answer: a youth skills group, modeled on the “psycho-educational groups” that have proved successful with adult patients. Unlike a support group, these group therapy sessions aim to build resilience, teaching youth the skills they need to cope, prevent and understand their symptoms. Offered last year for the first time, the group treatment option flopped, failing the required minimum of eight participants. This year they got 22. Maybe people have warmed to the idea of opening up to others, Snow says. Or maybe they’re looking for a way around the six- to eight-month wait-list for their preferred option, one-on-one counseling. “We do the best we can do with what we got,” says Snow, whose staff is at about half-capacity, with only two fulltime counsellors.

Just one caring person can make a world of difference From page 14 Know the warning signs, said Vrkljan – if you are completely unaware or think it will never happen to you or someone you know, think again. “Take all the warning signs seriously,” she said. “Talking about suicide will not encourage someone to try it.” Don’t agree to keep it a secret and tell the person they are not alone and that help is available, said Vrkljan; if there is an immediate risk call 911 and stay with the person.

“One caring person can make a difference,” she said. “We just have to be OK with asking the hard questions. Many times the person is in such pain they will be relieved you asked.” Youth aren’t seeking help because they don’t want to be different or marginalized, said Vrkljan. “Youth have never been taught the language skills they need to really express their emotions, and therefore keep it bottled up inside.” she said. Education is key, said Charette.

Three Ottawa institutions that help young people in crisis have agreed to pool resources and information to provide better services to youth and their families: CHEO, the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. The three organizations have partnered to allow nurses, psychiatrists and social workers to help youth in crisis. • The Royal Ottawa provides youth mental health services. • The Youth Services Bureau offers a

24-hour mental health crisis program. • CHEO provides an urgent care unit and emergency health care. The subject of youth mental health is taught in the schools, but Charette would like to see training provided for any adult who works with groups of children, such as minor league hockey coaches, girl guide and scout leaders. “Anyone working with a child should have some awareness of mental health issues,” said Charette. “It takes a village to raise a child.”

More progress to be made: city auditor LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city should buckle down on mileage claims, parking passes and the use of city vehicles, according to an auditor’s report. Among the 18 reports from the city’s auditor, Alain Lalonde, said Ottawa could have saved $106,000 in 2010 if it had better controls over its vehicles and mileage. But overall, the city has made progress in implementing his recommendations, Lalonde said. The problem with mileage is that each manager has his or her own practices,

and in some cases, detailed mileage reports simply don’t exist, Lalonde said. “It’s very hard to monitor when you don’t have the exact information,” he said. In one case, an employee racked up $20,000 in mileage by travelling 40,000 kilometres in his or her own vehicle. That person should have been shifted over to a city-owned vehicle to cut down on costs, Lalonde said. Another concern included the $56,000 cost of keeping a trained paramedic on call to perform a job that should have been done by an IT support person. Bylaw services manager Susan Jones

agreed that the paramedic’s skills would be better used on the front lines and assured reporters that another employee was being trained to take over support for the scheduling tool. While the city’s fraud and waste hotline has been around for six years, 2010 was the first full year that the public could make reports to the hotline (previously it was available to employees only). Most of the complaints – 62 per cent – came from the public, with 38 per cent originating from city employees. There was a total of 215 complaints to the hotline last year. The hotline can be reached by calling 1866-959-9309.

Mayor Jim Watson has some questions of his own for provincial election candidates. From funding for the Ottawa River Action Plan to light-rail transit and affordable housing, the mayor and council are asking all local candidates to weigh in on provincial issues that could effect the city. “These are questions that our council feels are of vital importance to the future of our residents and our city,” Watson said in a press release. The questionnaire also asks candidates if they will support the province’s agreement to upload the cost of providing some social programs, which municipalities are budgeting for. Watson has criticized the Progressive Conservative Party for refusing to commit to the remainder of the agreement because the mayor says the money is needed to avoid larger property tax increases. Watson signed the uploading deal while he served as a provincial Liberal cabinet minister. The mayor’s history in provincial politics led some to question

his motives in sending out the questionnaire. That’s what Ottawa Centre Green candidate Kevin O’Donnell said he has been hearing, but it’s not something he was personally concerned about. “It didn’t occur to me that there is this secondary conversation about whether it is going to be partisan, is it going to be used to manipulate the election,” O’Donnell said. “Yes, the mayor is an ex-Liberal but he was also a mayor of Ottawa before that.” Incumbent Liberal Ottawa Centre candidate Yasir Naqvi, however, applauded the idea. “I am excited that he has asked questions which are very important to the community so that we can be on record on what we’ll do for Ottawa if elected on October 6,” Naqvi said. Another question on the survey asks if the candidate would support the city’s pilot project to put 20 gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. The answers Watson receives will be released on Sept. 29 and posted to ottawa.ca. Ontarians head to the polls on Oct. 6.

Fire Safety Month underscores the importance of prevention (NC)—Fire Safety Awareness Month kicks off for Canadians in October to raise awareness about preventative measures Canadians can take to avoid residential fires, which account for the majority of fire-related deaths in Canada. Below are tips to audit your own home and keep your family safe. The Essentials: • It is the law to have working smoke alarms in your home. In Ontario, you must have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home. In addition, you should also install alarms inside or near every bedroom. • Smoke alarms wear out and should be replaced every 10 years as per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC). • The number one complaint about smoke alarms is that it can be difficult to change the battery—purchase one that has an easy access battery door so it never has to be removed from the ceiling. • Review a fire escape plan for your family. Walk through exit paths and decide on a place to meet outside—then practice it. • Think pink: make your home safer and contribute to the fight against breast cancer. First Alert has developed a line of Canadian Breast Cancer Fire Safety products: two smoke alarms, a carbon monoxide alarm and a kitchen fire extinguisher. For each product sold, First Alert will donate $1 to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Cooking: • Always remain in the kitchen while cooking- don’t leave boiling pots or simmering food unattended. • Learn how to put out a small pan fire by sliding a lid overtop to smother the flame.

• Keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and ensure every member of the family knows how to use it. Heaters and fireplaces: • Keep space heaters at least three feet away from materials that could catch flame, such as magazines or curtains. • Always turn off heaters when leaving the room or going to bed. • Have your fireplace, chimney, central furnace, and wood or coal stoves checked once a year and cleaned as necessary. • Store matches and lighters in a locked cabinet that children cannot access. Chemicals: • Avoid keeping gasoline at home—if necessary, use a special safety container and store away from the house in a shed. • Secure lids tightly on dangerous and flammable products and store in a locked cupboard. Consider having a home fire sprinkler system installed in your new home, or when you remodel. Candles and Smoking: • Don’t leave candles unattended and ensure they are placed in a stable holder. • Commit to smoking outdoors. • Use large, deep ashtrays on sturdy surfaces like counters and tables. • Douse cigarette butts in water before dumping them in the trash. www.newscanada.com

The heavy horse show is a crowd favourite at the Carp Fair, which will take place from Friday through Sunday.

Fun on the farm at Carp Fair The focus of the Carp Fair has always been on agriculture. The entertainment, rides, attractions and everything else are just a nice added bonus, said Carp fair board president Blair Armstrong. This year’s fair theme is “Fun on the Farm.” “The idea is that, farming is hard work from sun up to sun down, but you can still find time to have fun and do things that involve farming,” Armstrong said. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s not all work.” Agricultural attractions run all weekend long, beginning on Thursday morning at 11 a.m. with the Black and White Show, where dairy cows are brought into the ring and judged to see who has the best bovine. On Friday, the heavy horse show begins with the heavy horse pull at 7 p.m. A miniature horse show starts off Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m., alongside a hunter and jumper show jumping tournament. The heavy horse show continues at 10 a.m. The sheep show begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday with the heavy horse show beginning its final day at 11 a.m. At 1 p.m., a team penning competition challenges cattle rangers to herd cows in a pen based on the colour those cows are wearing. The 4H club’s market hog auction begins around 3 p.m. where youth can sell the pigs they have raised. But that’s just the animals. Various crop entries will have already been judged by the time fair-goers head to the fair on Thursday, but spectators can view the prize winning produce. The field crops category, including corn, soy beans and hay, actually began in June when judges travelled to the fields to witness the crops in action. The second part of the competition required farmers to bring samples to the fair. Local 4H club members will be on hand to discuss animal issues with other youth. “It’s a way for these kids to be able to

speak to other kids,” Armstrong said. “It means more than when they hear it from an adult.” Most agricultural entries in the fair come from West Carleton residents, but people come from all over to enter in the heavy horse show. Participants include people from Sarnia, New York State, Western Ontario and Quebec. “The quantity and quality of our heavy horse show is something that isn’t at most local fairs,” Armstrong said. “Some other fairs just don’t have the facilities or the ring that we do to have that show.” To find out more about the Carp Fair’s agricultural events, visit www.carpfair.ca.

Sculpture garden to help in rec centre funding LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A sculpture garden at the new Kanata North Recreation Complex is becoming a reality. The city was set to issue a call for artists to propose sculptures for the garden, which will be located at the rec centre to be built on Innovation Drive. The sculpture garden will feature between 10 and 20 statues and will be used as a fundraising endeavour to help add two lanes – for a total of eight lanes – to the pool. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and the community are working to raise $1.75 million to add the pool lanes and pay for the additional cost of operating a larger pool, as well as improvements to the skate park. “We’ll get the businesses sponsoring these to pay more than the cost of putting it in and the additional amount goes into our fundraising,” Wilkinson said. The sculpture garden will feature statues representation sports and the natural environment.

It could be a good opportunity to highlight the area’s endangered species, Wilkinson said, such as the Blanding’s turtle that contributed to the Kizell pond area’s recent designation as a provincially significant wetland. Wilkinson said she is also working with city staff and the KNRC’s advisory group to finalize naming rights for the rec centre. That should be wrapped up within the next few weeks, she said. The rec centre will also have three pieces of public art funded through the city’s public art program to keep with the per cent for art policy, which demands that one per cent of the construction costs of a municipal development project be set aside for public art. The $43.14-million recreation complex will be built at 4101 Innovation Dr. and will offer a range of community and recreation facilities including indoor lap and leisure pools, a fitness facility and youth, meeting and multi-purpose spaces. The site will also offer two outdoor soccer fields, basketball courts, a children’s playground, water play area, a skateboard park and an entrance to Trillium Woods.

Increased funding for medical transportation helps rural residents COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Laurie Pulsifer was a resident of rural Kanata who is believed to have been on dialysis longer than any other person in Canada. But transportation to and from hospitals was far too expensive for long-term patients, and Pulsifer spent the last 10 years of his life lobbying for change. He passed away this August after a long fight with his health and health services. Now, too late for Pulsifer but about time for many, change could be coming. A provincially-funded not-forprofit health service provider has pledged $730,000 in new annual funding for non-urgent medical transportation in eastern Ontario. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is one of 14 such networks in the province dedicated to planning and funding local health services. They announced their increased funding on Sept. 2. This funding is essential for people living in rural communities said Dunrobin resident Adele Muldoon, especially because of recent fare hikes for transportation to nearby medical facilities. Prior to amalgamation, the West Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) was subsidized by the municipal government and provided transportation to residents in return for a donation to the centre. The subsidy was discontinued after 2001 and now it can cost upwards of $45 each way depending on the distance.

From around 1998-2001, Muldoon was a volunteer driver at the WOCRC for seniors and people with disabilities who needed transportation to see a doctor. After amalgamation, she found it difficult to drive someone who would be charged so much money. She said she knew many people who would cancel their transportation appointments because they simply couldn’t afford it. One of Muldoon’s passengers was Pulsifer, who would need drives three times a week for dialysis treatments but couldn’t afford the increased pricing from the WOCRC so resorted to Para-Transpo services. “They didn’t provide him with the necessary assistance that frail seniors and people that are ill need,” Muldoon said of ParaTranspo. Because it is a shuttle, many people can be picked up along the way, making the drive much too long and arduous for Pulsifer to stand so many times a week. Together, Muldoon and Pulsifer lobbied for increased funding for non-urgent medical transportation in rural areas, but the transportation committee continued to postpone a report they had promised to evaluate the rural situation, she said. When Pulsifer passed away in August, he still had yet to see the transportation improvements he had hoped for. “It was his need for better transportation that spurs me on through the years to keep this fight up,” Muldoon said. The city’s transit commission is set to meet on Oct. 19, and Muldoon has been told that a report will finally be presented.

YOU SHOULD MAKE ANY IMPORTANT DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE

She hopes it won’t be delayed further, and that the report will outline proposed changes to current services, including ParaTranspo fares. Muldoon said she hopes that these changes, along with the Champlain LHIN’s increased funding, will make a difference for seniors and persons with disabilities in West Carleton and other rural Ottawa areas. “It’s taken us 10 years of advocacy,” she said, “I hope that people who live in further regions don’t continue to be punished for living where they do.” Joanna Chisnell, chair of the Champlain Community Support Services Network, said that the LHIN’s increased funding allocation will be determined by the transportation committee who will identify local needs and make implementation recommendations based on their findings. Only a portion of those funds will be allotted to Ottawa, as the Champlain region includes Cornwall, Clarence-Rockland, Pembroke and Petawawa, to name a few more populous areas in the region. Non-urgent medical transportation is an issue that continues to surface in rural communities across the province, Chisnell said. And with increased transportation services, more hospital beds become available. “Our goal is allow people to age at home,” Chisnell said. “We want to allow them access to medical care at a reasonable rate, and allow them to stay in their home longer. We know that’s where the seniors would like to be.” The funds will also be used to better co-ordinate transpor-

While the issue is a huge concern for seniors and people with disabilities, most citizens are unconcerned and unaware of the costs of medical transportation, Muldoon said. “Many people don’t know the service has been cut, and they don’t realize it until they need the service,” she said. “Any of us can require this transportation as a result of an accident or an early-onset illness. Everyone should be concerned.” Inga Herbst, a 77-year-old Dunrobin resident, hasn’t used the WOCRC transportation service in nine years because she

said it’s just too expensive. She now has a friend who drives her to medical appointments. “I have no idea what I would do without her,” Herbst said of her driver. “It would be very hard to figure it out because moneywise, I just couldn’t do it.” Herbst travels to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital for physiotherapy, and her family doctor is on Merivale Road in Ottawa. She makes about nine trips a month to see doctors. “I know it’s hard to put the prices down because of gas prices,” she said, “but maybe they could make an exception for people who don’t make much money.” LHIN FUNDING, see 31

LHIN FUNDING, from 30 Pat Buck lives in Kinburn with his wife Laura, who has used the transportation system to travel back and forth from Bell’s Corners for medical appointments. It costs her $13 each way, which Buck said they found to be reasonable. “It’s much cheaper than a taxi, that’s for sure,” he said. Buck, who is 88, said he still has his license but doesn’t like to drive into the city, and his wife’s three-hour appointments are too long for him to wait, which is why they rely on other transportation. Juanita Snelgrove, 95, said she has also had a positive experience with drivers from the WOCRC. She lives right

next to Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in Dunrobin, and makes the trip into Carp to go to the West Carleton Family Health Centre. That trip costs just over $10 each way, and her appointments are normally short enough for the driver to wait for her outside. Snelgrove said she would never consider using Para-Transpo, because they pick up so many people along the way. “They can keep you waiting for ages,” she said, much preferring to use the individual drivers offered by the WOCRC. “Overall, my experience has been very satisfactory,” she said. “People have been pleasant.” But while fares aren’t too costly for

people travelling short distances, many have to head into Ottawa for their appointments, and have to make multiple trips a week as Pulsifer did for dialysis. That’s why Muldoon keeps up the fight to decrease the costs of non-urgent medical care.

“Because our numbers are smaller out here we have less demand, but we are paying taxes for social services that we don’t see,” she said. “This is a social service that rural people need.” For more information about the Champlain LHIN, visit www.champlainlhin.on.ca.

Infill design rules myopic: architect laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city’s proposed new design rules for infill homes are “myopic” and inflexible, according one prominent Ottawa architect. During a public meeting on Sept. 14, Jim Colizza, who has designed many infill homes, was one of many who questioned the wisdom of the new guidelines that aim to make infill homes more compatible with the neighbourhoods around them. The new rules would also make it possible for the city to enforce the guidelines, which are intended to encourage intensified development that is people- and street-friendly and fits into the fabric of existing community. But some of the ideas proposed by city staff work against those goals, Colizza said. The buildings that he and other architects design, he said, have a greater impact on the streetscape than the features the city’s guidelines address. “There is more to good streetscapes than planting a tree and hiding your car.” The new guidelines would tie his hands and hinder creative design, Colizza said, because the rules are “terminally inflexible.” “I don’t know that they know what they are crafting here.” Most of the criticism centered on the rules for parking spaces. While there was little dissent about removing the requirement to provide parking at every new home, the rules surrounding which properties could have driveways came under fire. The complex breakdown wouldn’t allow driveways for lots of less than 5.6 metres in width. Those homes could have a garage, side yard parking or backyard parking, if there is access from a laneway or shared driveway. Lots between 5.6 and 7.6 metres can have front-yard parking, limited to a certain width. Properties of that size can also have a 1.2 metre-wide walkway, but it must be beside the driveway. There are also rules for

the width of front-facing garages allowed for lots larger than 7.6 m. The goal is to create as much green space in the front yard as possible, both to make it more attractive and to aid in stormwater drainage. Members of the public can submit comments on the proposal to Selma Hassan, who can be reached at 613-580-2424, ext 25192 or selma.hassan@ottawa.ca, until Sept. 30. The planning committee will discuss the guidelines this fall before council makes a decision.

Knights crush Warriors 48-0 KANATA KNIGHTS The Kanata Knights peewee team continued their winning ways with a 48-0 victory over the Bell Warriors at Beckwith Field near Carleton Place on Saturday, Sept. 17. The bantam Knights also picked up a win, with a 14-6 victory over the Warriors at Beckwith Field on Sunday. The football clubs two other teams, the tykes and the mosquitos, lost in their games against the Warriors. TYKES

BLAZERS ON FIRE The Kanata major peewee A Blazers won the Humberview Huskies Early Bird Tournament in Etobicoke, Ont., which ran from Sept. 16 to 18. The Blazers defeated the Clarkson Hurricane 3-1 in the championship final. Goaltender Josh Downing was named most valuable player of the tournament.

The Kanata Knights tykes football team tasted their first defeat of the season, going down 25 - 0 to the league-leading and tough Bell Warriors in a hard fought battle on Beckwith field. The loss leaves the Knights 2 - 1 for the season. The Knights took a bit of time to get going but once they did, they limited the Warriors to only a single score in the second half of the game. There were also some other positives seen during the game. Namely, a couple of great passes by quarterback Peter Johnson to receiver Devaugh Blackwood for a combined 36 yards and two first downs. On defence, veteran Jared Valentino dished out some phenomenal hits recorded an amazing 11 solo tackles and five assisted tackles. Two of these hits led to fumbles, one pounced on quickly by the speedy Evan Wakeman, the other nicely grabbed by Denny Ferdinand. Other notable defensive players putting in a strong effort were Kaseem Ferdinand, Matt Belanger, Nick Allaire, Brody Brampton, and Benjamin Yee. MOSQUITO The Bell Warriors crushed the Kanata Knights 48-8. The Knights defence could not stop the relentless Warrior attack although Scott Robinson and Jarod Wake-

men had 11 tackles combined, while Kane Obas made 4 tackles and recovered a fumble. Kanata’s offence was engineered by quarterback Tyler Rehman who made four complete passes to wide-out Connor Ogilvie. The highlight of the game was watching Liam Quinton explode down the middle of the field on a 65-yard run which borought him down to the one yard line before he fumbled the ball. Luckily teammate Nevan Carter was right there to fall on it in the end zone for Kanata’s only touchdown of the day. The Knights look forward to getting pass this nightmare as they get ready to play the North Gloucester Giants next week. PEEWEE On Saturday, Sept. 17, the Kanata Knights peewee team continued their 2011 season in a game against the Bell Warriors. Though the board showed 48-0 in favor of the Warriors, the score did nothing to illustrate the heart and determination put forth by the Knights through every second of the game. The Knights offence showed incredible strength of will in their effort to plug through the Warriors stronghold defence. The Knights were led in their efforts by veteran Ashton Vanasse, and teammates Brady Tran, Alex Polataiko, Patrick Heika, Duncan Jarmyn, Dylan Marshall and Nick Beer. And while the offence was plugging away in their quest to the goal line, the defence worked equally hard at putting up blocks and chasing down the Warriors. Nathan Carter and Michael Kraeker led the Knights in their defensive game and were boosted by teammates Austin Cranney, Jimmy Johnson, Brandon Whiteman, Tristan Hubley and Dylan Lachance. The PeeWee Knights next game is Sunday, Sept. 25 when they take on the North Gloucester Giants at Gil-O-Julien field.

Former Kanata student making waves in Korea Glen Cairn native signs to Sony Music jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A former Holy Trinity Catholic High School student is making waves in the Korean music scene. Glen Cairn native Shayne Orok signed with Sony Music Entertainment Korea on Sept. 5 and is working on releasing a digital album this fall. “At the moment I plan to work very hard in writing songs, learning more about Korean culture and overall just creating more of a base for myself here in Korea,” said the 19-year-old who sings and plays the piano and keyboard. “Eventually, after improving my musical ability and establishing myself more as an artist, I hope to visit all of my other fans from around the globe.” Orok, who is not Korean and had never spoken a word of the language before he auditioned, will begin work on putting out a full-length album early next year. Sony Music said he will also start touring world-wide over its global network sometime next year. “Since Sony is an established record label all over the world, they have provided me with a lot more options for my future,” said Orok, adding he is excited and nervous about beginning his career as an artist. “The

most important thing about choosing a label is finding one that suits you best. It does not make much sense for someone like me to restrict myself just to Korea, so I feel like I have made a good choice by signing with an international company like Sony.” After graduating from Holy Trinity in 2010, Orok signed up for the Korean MBC Star Audition ‘The Great Birth’ – similar to Canadian Idol – for a chance to explore the country and to pursue his music career. “It’s been a dream of mine for quite a while now to pursue music as a career and although being a Korean musician was not in my plans and I did not know a word of Korean, after seeing the competition being advertised on YouTube, I decided it was worth it to at least audition,” he said. “It was an incredible journey and an unforgettable experience. In total, I spent around five to six months competing in Korea and I had to prepare a totally new song to perform every week – all while not knowing how to speak the language I was singing in. I was incredibly stressed and it got very difficult at times, but my family, friends and fans helped me keep a positive outlook.” Elimination during the show is based on about 70 per cent public votes and 30 per cent on

tremely indebted to my mentor, Shin Seung Hun. He could not have been a better mentor to me and without his aid I wouldn’t have stood any chance at making the top three.” Orok has been singing ever since he was a young boy and began piano lessons at the age of six. In high school he started writing songs and posting his videos on YouTube. Now, he said he wants to establish himself as a musician. “In the competition, not many people outside of my own fan base knew that I was a singer, songwriter, so I am really looking forward to showing my writing ability to the Korean public,” said Orok. He added the support he received during high school gave him the courage to go after his dream of performing. “I would really like to give a big thank you to everyone back at Holy Trinity Catholic High School for supporting me in my music ever since the beginning,” he said. “Back then – and even now, still – I was a relatively shy kid and even though singing at yearly coffee houses was kind of scary to me, it really gave me the courage to go for my dream. Little did I know that a year after graduation, I would be performing on television screens all over Korea.”

GLEN CAIRN TENNIS CLUB As the 2011 season winds down, the Glen Cairn Tennis Club is proud to say that it has been a great year of new activities, and the positive feedback from members proves they were a hit. Social events included a new family fun day, where members of all ages participated in games, both on and off the court, such as tennis skill games, tug-ofwar and parachute games. Our first wine and cheese was also a great way to socialize after a round of social tennis. We welcomed a new pro, Javier Ruano Valdez, to the club this year. Members were happy to participate in his free Shot of the Day clinics, and camps and lessons for all ages. Adding a new practice net to court four has been a welcome addition, as errant lesson balls no longer disturb players on the next court. New tournament formats were enjoyed in the senior men’s doubles and ladies

doubles tournaments. Peter McNamara and Greg Faux shared the win in the senior men’s doubles tournament on Aug. 22 and they both were presented with the inaugural François Laquerre Memorial trophy by Carole Laquerre, pictured in the middle of the attached photo. Runners-up were Ash Gopil and Ed Escares. Stephanie Rackus and Sandy Wynne were the winners of the ladies doubles tournament on Aug. 27. They went undefeated in all six rounds of the round robin and the finals. Runners-up were Meredith Ward and our youngest player Allison Harris. Dan Pergel won the junior singles tournament on Aug. 27, against runnerup Miteau Butskhrikidze. Ian Brander placed third and Adam Kehman fourth. Thanks go to Javier and Alex for running a great junior tournament. All of these activities were organized by many club volunteers - thanks to everyone who helped out.
