EMC news - A new community association has sprung up in south Kanata for two fast-growing areas. The Trailwest Community Association will be the voice of residents living in Sohowest and Bridlewood Trails. “We’re really focused on building a community – what I’m calling Kanata’s connected community,” said Phil Aldis, the founder of the community association. “It’s quite a happy community and we want to make sure the community association keeps open communication (with the residents). It benefits us.” He added that as the area grows, decisions will have to be made regarding proposed developments, such as parks or the potential need for a community centre. “There are decisions being made,” said Aldis, who moved into Sohowest this past March, from Fairwinds. “It’s important that we have that voice.” When the community park was being planned, a resident suggested turning the play area into a community garden. “It is not happening,” said Aldis about the garden proposal. “It’s just an example about why we need to be aware of decisions being made in our community.” REGISTRATION

In step with the mall walkers Club provides social venue, exercise Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s 8:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning and John Bieler has gotten his day off to a walking start. The 77-year-old Bridlewood man chuckles as he marks his morning mile-

age into a pocket-sized notebook he carries with him during his daily exercise sessions at the Hazeldean Mall. Twelve laps, reads the dated entry – the equivalent of four kilometres – completed in 51 minutes and 25 seconds. Bieler taps his Timex wristwatch. “I was slow today,” he said. “I got interrupted.” But interruptions are par for course when you’re a member of the In Club Mall Walkers, a group with more than 300 members who gather every morning at the Hazeldean Mall to walk, chat and

socialize. Every weekday at 6:30 a.m., Bieler stands outside the mall along with four other In Club early risers, waiting for the custodial staff to open the doors. “We got a life to live,” he said. “We’re all retired now so we have to get up and get at it.” Bieler has been a member of the In Club since October 2010, walking four kilometres a day, five to six times a week, for the past two years.

In Club celebrating 23rd anniversary next month Continued from page 1

During his daily exercise sessions, Bieler carries a string of 15 coloured beads, each representing a lap around the inside perimeter of the mall. He already has more than 2,000 kilometres under his belt – some members are well past 10,000 kilometres – all dutifully recorded in a notebook he carries with him tucked inside his In Club plastic name-tag holder. “If you can measure it, you can reward it,” said Bieler. “I take satisfaction in keeping fit.” IN CLUB

The In Club, which is run by

the Kanata Seniors’ Centre, will celebrate its 23rd anniversary next month. The club has grown over the past two decades, and now boasts more than 300 members, who range in age from 40 to 100 and come from all walks of life: everyone from school principals out for a morning stroll to retirees, doctors and lawyers, looking to keep fit. The members arrive starting at 6:30 a.m. and circle the inside perimeter of the mall, recording their mileage on a log book. During its first year, the club boasted only six members and the head of the program quit after a few months. Nisha Mapara stepped in as the group’s co-ordinator, a posi-

tion she has held for nearly 23 years. The Kanata woman fondly remembers her first experience as a mall walker, when the In Club opened in 1989. It was the day she walked the longest kilometre of her life. The Kanata woman had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a disease that had spread throughout her body, into her legs, feet, arms and hands, making every movement painful. A doctor said she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. “There’s no way I’m going into a wheelchair at this stage,” the then-40-year-old woman told her doctor. She decided to join the In Club, a group of walkers who met at the Hazeldean Mall early in the morning and on weekdays. She was determined to circle the mall three times, the equivalent of one kilometre. Pain shot through her body with each step, but Mapara kept her legs moving and her mind distracted by talking with her 76-year-old walking partner. “She was telling really funny stories,” said Mapara. “I had done one kilometre and only felt better. “I finished one lap and I thought I’d never be able to finish the second lap. But I didn’t want to miss out on the story she was telling. So I continued on,” she said. Two laps later Mapara was munching on a piece of cake and talking to her fellow In Club members during a ceremony celebrating the official launch of the club. “My God,” she said at the time. “I’ve never walked a kilometre in my life, but I did it. I was amazed. I finished a whole kilometre, and I felt better, physically better. I felt more energized.”

John Bieler, a 77-year-old Bridlewood man, starts his day at 6:30 a.m., walking the perimeter of the Hazeldean Mall. He carries a string of beads, each representing a lap. Since then, Mapara has easily walked more than 40,000 kilometres – but, like many members, she no longer keeps track. As In Club co-ordinator, Mapara monitors who shows up and who doesn’t. When members join they fill in a medical form and sign a liability waiver; after six weeks they are given an In Club T-shirt, provided by the Hazeldean Mall. Members walk at their own pace, and afterwards sometimes meet for coffee or go out as a group to dinner or the movies. LIFELINE

Mapara said the In Club has been her lifeline, providing a miracle treatment for her and the other members who joined because of high blood pressure, diabetes or a host of other ailments. Moe Wright, 74, and his wife Shirley, 71, have been members of the club for 10 years. “There’s people here who have medical conditions of all kinds,” he said. “Some are here because their doctors said you can do your business there or with the funeral director.”

Margaret Holubowich, a 79year-old Bridlewood woman, joined the club four years ago, when she was recovering from a viral infection. “I used to walk outside until I slipped … and had a spinal incident and was paralyzed,” she said. “When snow came and I couldn’t walk outside anymore I started walking here. “For people who can’t walk outdoors this is the perfect opportunity to get exercise and keep mobile.” Mall walking provides a great alternative for seniors during cold, icy or wet days, said Rosalie Bambrick, a 73year-old Katimavik woman. “It’s fantastic,” she said. “We come out of rain and sleet, the temperature’s always comfortable in the mall.” The club also provides a great social gathering, Bambrick added. “You get to have a social event where you’re seeing the same people. It’s almost like at work.” Every year, the In Club holds a Christmas party, which has turned into a fundraiser for local charities such as the Kanata Food cupboard and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. “We pick a charity every

year,” said Mapara. “We raise about $2,000 to $3,000.” MALL WALKING CLUBS

The city administers 10 mall walking programs throughout Ottawa including: • Westgate Shopping Centre Walking Club. • Friendly Corner – Wild About Walking Program at the St. Laurent Centre. • Mall Walking Club at Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre. • Trekkers Walking Club at the Merivale Mall. • Lincoln Field Shopping Centre Walking Club. • Walk a Mall at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre. • Pacesetters at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre. • Heart Walk at the Bayshore Shopping Centre. The co-ordinators of the mall walking clubs form an advisory committee called Gottawalk, which meets monthly. “The city wants their residents to be healthy,” said Mapara. The In Club Mall Walkers meets from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Hazeldean Mall. For more information or to join the club call 613-591-1294 or email nikaim@rogers.com.

Katimavik man receives City Builder Award Tom Flood honoured for volunteer service

EMC news - Community figure Tom Flood was honoured for his volunteer work with a Mayor’s City Builder Award on Wednesday, Sept. 12. Flood, who’s lived in south Kanata since 1970, helped to shape the community through his extensive volunteer service. “I was very honoured to be able to nominate him,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who presented the award with Mayor Jim Watson. “(Flood) helped build the community into what it is today.” Flood was joined by his wife, Terry, boss Brian McGarry and friends Clarence Maheral and Graham Ball.

Katimavik basement fire displaces three Two pet birds, dog rescued, but one bird perishes in basement blaze Staff

EMC news - Three residents were displaced after a fire at a home in Katimavik-Hazeldean over the weekend.

Ottawa firefighters received a call for a fire in a basement utility room at 8 Forbes Ave., on Sunday, Sept. 16, around 11:50 a.m. “(The) owner heard popping

sounds in (the) basement, then saw flames coming through (the) heat vent. They all evacuated the home and called 911,” said fire spokesperson Marc Messier. “The fire was contained to the basement; however there is extensive smoke damage throughout the home.” Two occupants and a guest were home at the time of the

fire, which caused $225,000 in damages. There were also three pet birds and a dog in the house. “Two birds and the dog were rescued by the owner. The third bird did not survive,” said Messier. There were no injuries reported and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Rotary club president on track for weight loss campaign Food cupboard donations reach $5,000 Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The NepeanKanata Rotary Club president is a little lighter and the purse at the Kanata Food Cupboard is a little heavier thanks to a weight loss and funding drive that started in July. President Steve Sharlow has dropped 15 pounds and managed to raise $5,000 for the Kanata Food Cupboard since he announced on July 26 that he would try to raise money for the charity as part of a weight loss plan.

The plan includes a pound for pound pledge option on the Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, designed to raise funds for the food cupboard. The second official weighin took place under the watchful gaze of Sharlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physician Dr. Ian Watson during the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular Sept. 6 meeting at the Holiday Inn on Kanata Avenue. Watson said he is pleased with the progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest thing is being on the road,â&#x20AC;? Sharlow said, adding it can be hard to find healthy choices in restaurants. Sharlow also added a trip to visit his mother presented a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really understand what I am doing and always wanted me to eat up,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough but I am going to do it. STEVE SHARLOW PRESIDENT, NEPEAN-KANATA ROTARY CLUB

Sharlow plans to drop 100 pounds what was his 302pound frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough but I am going to do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Aside from their presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight loss, the club was also celebrating the arrival of an exchange student from Osaka, Japan. The new student has already started classes at Mother Teresa Catholic High School in Barrhaven. Last year the club had students from Thailand and Germany. The student exchange is a Rotary International program where the kids get to live with three host families over a year and experience the culture and schooling in another country.

Since dropping the weight Sharlow said he has found it easier to get around and tries to walk 2,000 steps per day.

Linda Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil, public education consultant with the Canadian Mental Health As-

sociation talked to the Rotary Club about the programs the social service organization offers to people with mental disabilities. One of the programs she highlighted is called Talking About Mental Illness which brings clients of the organization into high schools to talk about some of the issues they have faced. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil said the point was to debunk some of the myths about mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most common things the students say is that the people they talk to seem just like everyone else,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil said. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil said her organization typically sends two clients with different kinds of mental illness to talk to students. But with unreliable funding the program may be in jeopardy she said, adding the organization receives funding from the Trillium Foundation, United Way and the Community Fund of Ottawa as well as other partners. The Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club meets every Thursday. For more information on their programs visit www. nepeankanatarotary.com.

Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club president Steve Sharlow has lost 15 pounds since starting his campaign to lose 100 pounds and get matching donations for the Kanata Food Cupboard. He has managed to raise $5,000.

EMC news - Ottawa researchers have discovered that community involvement in crime prevention is a proven formula for creating safer neighbourhoods. Consultants Ken Hoffman and Dr. Melanie Bania studied the efforts three Ottawa communities put into taking back their streets and public spaces. Through community-based crime prevention activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including safety audits,

youth leadership programs and movies in the park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the communities of Lowertown, Pinecrest-Queensway and Vanier have built a sense of pride and ownership among residents, deterring criminal activity and encouraging community spirit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research shows that community-based approaches to crime prevention can have a much greater impact on criminal behaviour than enforcement alone,â&#x20AC;? says Crime Prevention Ottawa board chair, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found is that the three community-based crime prevention initiatives weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve funded and supported have achieved impressive results in just four years.â&#x20AC;? From 2006 to 2011, reported incidents of crimes against person and crimes against property have decreased at a greater rate in each of these communities than the city average, which is down by 15 per cent overall.

Keep Terry Fox’s dream alive

f you look up the word “hope” in the dictionary, you’ll probably find a photograph of Terry Fox. Or at least you should. Terry Fox was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his leg amputated above the knee – an age when most of us are starting our lives: going to university, beginning a career, falling in love for the first time. He died at the age of 22.

In those four short years, Fox managed to inspire generations of Canadian citizens. He made us learn to hope in the face of an awful disease that has touched all our lives. He taught us to fight back no matter what the odds. When Fox learned he had cancer he decided to run a Marathon of Hope across Canada. His goal was to raise enough money to discover a cure for cancer. Starting in April 1980, Fox

started his run by dipping his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean in St John’s, NL. He ran 42 kilometres a day, the equivalent of a full marathon. On Sept. 1, 1980, after running for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont.. The cancer had spread to his lungs. On June 28, 1981, Fox died. But his memory lives on

in the hearts and minds of generations of Canadians, who continue his battle every year by holding Terry Fox Runs across the country. The runs have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and funded numerous advancements in cancer research, saving countless lives. But a cure is yet to be found. This year, Fox’s brother, Fred Fox, visited the campus of Carleton University, urging

the students to keep Terry’s dream alive. Carleton is one of eight Canadian universities to join Terry’s College and University Student Engagement (CAUSE). The colleges and universities have committed to holding a major campus event that includes runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation. Most communities across Canada planned to hold their annual runs on Sunday, Sept. 16, including an Ottawa run at Carleton University. Kanata and Stittsville were scheduled to hold their annual

Terry Fox Run that day as well, an event that usually attracts hundred of west-end runners. The Kanata/Stittsville run has raised $550,000 since it first started in 1989. Last year, Constance Bay held its first Terry Fox Run, attracting 75 participants and raising more than $4,400 for cancer research. Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s John Bell said that while great strides have been made in cancer research over the past 30 years, there is still much more to be done. We must continue to keep Terry’s dream alive – one step at a time.

You too can be a Waste Explorer CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

f you don’t automatically throw out everything that shows up in your mailbox, you will have seen the document that announces a major change in your life. As of the end of next month your garbage is only going to be picked up every two weeks. Although there was considerable debate about this at city hall, the circular in your mailbox reflects that hardly at all. “Important changes are coming,” it begins, but all it contains by way of explanation is a cryptic little note at the bottom: “Think about it …,” it says. “It all has to go somewhere.” This is true, probably, as is: “It all has to go sometime,” which is the issue at hand. So what are we to make of it, the fact that we go from garbage pickup every week to garbage pickup every other? The most dramatic interpretation is that Ottawa has become a Third World city. In many parts of the world, garbage pickup every week can only be dreamed about, the key to improved sanitation and public health. Yet here is Ottawa, going the other way. To support this interpretation we can look at many other areas in which Canada, through the culture of cutback, has descended from previous heights. If, on the other hand, you are the kind of person who sees the glass as half full, you will have a completely different take. Less frequent garbage pickup means that garbage needs to be picked up less frequently, which means that there is less of it. This encouraging theory might be difficult to prove empirically, but the anecdotal evidence is there. You know it when you look down your street on garbage night and notice that some

people are putting out no garbage cans at all. None. Everything they need to throw out is on one of the recycling containers, black, blue and green. We salute them, although we do wonder what they do with all that plastic packaging. Maybe they don’t buy anything wrapped in plastic. There’s a challenge. Is it possible that we have been so welleducated in the philosophy of recycling that we don’t need to put anything at all in the garbage can? Have we bought in so completely to the recycling message that we have made garbage obsolete? If so, it may be because recycling has been made so easy for us. We don’t need to buy the recycling boxes; they are delivered to our doors. Filling them is no problem, nor is sorting them. Neither effort nor thought is required. It is too bad that no one one has thought of ways to make it easy for us to be as virtuous in other areas. We could use some help cleaning up after our pets, giving more support to charities and merging from three lanes into two on the Queensway. Meanwhile, we don’t know whether to be comforted or not by the notion that it all has to go somewhere. The city’s website page on recycling provides something called a Waste Explorer – maybe not the most attractive concept when you think about it, but a handy way to tackle those difficult which-box-is-which questions. For example, the Waste Explorer will tell you that alfalfa sprouts go in the green bin, that artificial plants go in the regular garbage, as do bicycle tires, as do rubber wine corks; wooden orange crates go in the regular garbage, but wood chips go in the green bin; some items, such as beer kegs are identified as having “multiple options” but when you click on that you are told that multiple options means take them back to the beer store. A few paragraphs ago we thought that recycling was simple. Now we’re not so sure. At least we only have to think about the garbage every other week, when we put out our wooden orange crates.

Web Poll This Week’s poll question

Following the highway 174 sinkhole, are you worried about the state of the city’s infrastructure?

A) Build a new one. The existing building is old and is not fitting as the city’s central library.

A) Yes. I’ll be wary of Ottawa’s roads and bridges from now on.

38%

B) Invest $6.3 million in upgrades as suggested by city staff. There’s no need to move the 120 Metcalfe St. facility.

B) No. This was an isolated incident, not necessarily a sign of bigger problems.

C) Do nothing. The Main Library branch doesn’t need upgrades or a new site.

C) Perhaps. If the city fails to take appropriate action, I’ll be very worried.

50%

D) I think I’ve got a better chance of being struck by lightning than I do of falling in a sinkhole.

15%

D) I don’t use the library.

The neighbourhood group doesn’t host regular formal meetings, instead opting to keep residents updated through Internet posts and emails, as well as phone conferences in some cases, said president Rob Nino “It’s through the website. We do emailers to our members whenever something comes up,” said Nino, who’s held his position since 2010. The association hosts executive elections every two years. No date has yet been chosen for the next vote. The association also delivers its messages to residents through message boards at the Hazeldean Mall. “One of the quickest most cost effective ways is to get the message up where people are living, where they’re shopping,” said Nino, adding the association receives a percentage of the profits from the message boards. “It becomes a fundraising tool for community associations,” said Nino, who’s been involved with the association

EMC news - The Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association is hosting a cleanup of city parks on Saturday, Sept. 22. President Rod MacLean said the group plans on hitting eight playgrounds as part of the Fall Cleaning the Capital Campaign, starting at Stonegate Park at 10 a.m., “and fan out from there.”

ROD MACLEAN The association usually sees 15 to 20 people at the park cleanup, but “The more the merrier of course; the more people, the better job we can do,” said MacLean. A rain date of Sept. 29 has been scheduled in case the weather doesn’t co-operate. The association’s mandate is “to improve the qual-

The neighbourhood group runs a Christmas Holiday Lights Contest in December and a winter family fun day at Young’s Pond in February every year, where residents have a chance to socialize and take

part in activities like skating and pond hockey. “That’s one of the thoughts that’s rattling around – how do we expand the activities during the year,” said MacLean. “We’re happy to see any of our potential members and residents come to our meetings or communicate with us.”

The community association is looking to grow its membership base and attract residents of all ages. “We’d like to expand the numbers and make sure we’re getting a variety of points of view,” said MacLean, who has been president since 2010. “It’s an ongoing endeavour but it’s always there. It makes the workload a little easier.” On Nov 5, the association will host its general meeting and elections, where MacLean said he’s planning to run for his current position. The meeting will also look at a proposal to update parts of the constitution, which was brought forward at the association’s first meeting after the summer holidays on Sept. 10. The association meets on the first Monday of every month – unless there is a statutory holiday and then it’s pushed back by a week – at Katimavik Elementary School, 64 Chimo Dr., at 7:30 p.m. Registration is $5 and residents can sign up by attending a meeting or at the park cleanup day on Sept. 22. Two of the key issues the community association will be dealing with this year include traffic flow and speeders. “It seems as though we all have a tendency…to forget about traffic speed limits,” said MacLean. “That’s just something you do because you know the area. “The best thing, I think, is just to remind people – this is where we live and this is where our families are.” For more information, visit the website at khca.on.ca, email president@khca.on.ca, call MacLean at 613-5991634, follow the association on Twitter @KHCA_Kanata or search Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association on Facebook.

Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012 11

Changing the way you think about storage... You’ve probablY seen the new mega DYmon self storage at Kanata Centrum – it’s just the latest in a string of faCilities that are popping up all over town. loCallY owneD anD operateD DYmon now has six inDustrY leaDing faCilities throughout the CitY.

Stepping inside a Dymon facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Self Storage is not your traditional type of storage business. “Before the arrival of Dymon, self storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton. “We recognized there was a demand for quality storage in Ottawa, but there was virtually nothing available”. Dymon quickly recognized a business opportunity, but wanted to create a unique “made in Ottawa” solution. Before getting started back in 2006, Dymon did extensive research across the U.S. and Canada by visiting dozens of facilities, and quickly determined the attributes of the best performing facilities across North America. Taking these ideas and introducing a few unique offerings of its own, Dymon put together a “best of breed” business model. Arguably, right here in Ottawa Dymon has built the very best that self storage has to offer anywhere in the world. 12 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012

“At the end of the day, your stuff is likely better off stored with Dymon than at your home or business” adds Creighton. From the outside, Dymon’s facilities are architecturally attractive and don’t look anything like storage buildings. “We have moved self storage into the mainstream by locating our facilities in easy to access, highly visible sites, usually adjacent to big box retail” says Creighton, “and with our attractive exterior look we wanted the marketplace to understand that we represented a new and totally different storage solution”.

What does “best of breed” mean? Dymon’s facilities have many distinctive features that differentiate them from anything else in the Ottawa marketplace. By integrating leading technologies, Dymon has created the safest and most convenient way to store your excess stuff. Starting with its complete and total humidity and climate controlled environment, Dymon’s facilities ensure no mould, mildew or bugs. Its advanced security features ensure your possessions are safe – besides having extended retail hours, Dymon also has a 24/7 Customer Service Command Center which monitors all of its facilities with personnel who can respond to customer issues at anytime, day or night. Dymon’s unique drive through bays (which are like airport hangars) provide complete protection from the weather and allow you to load and unload your stuff in comfort. Dymon even offers a free truck and driver at the time of move-in for your added convenience, taking the hassle away of renting and driving a large truck. Dymon’s facilities have

luxury boardrooms, mini-offices, as well as a vault and mailbox service. And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays! And the list goes on and on. But perhaps Dymon’s biggest asset is its relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. “Our highly trained staff regularly go above and beyond to help our customers deal with the stress of moving and storage,” says Creighton. “And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.” With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Self Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in

R0011624282-0920

any people are also taking notice of Dymon’s latest facility under construction on Carling at the Queensway. “We are really excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it is going to be our flagship facility with our head office located on the top floor. We have some new outstanding features that are going to make this our best facility yet.” Dymon’s next facility will be on Greenbank at Hunt Club, and then another six facilities planned for Ottawa.

Creighton “and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”. DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the opportunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper than buying traditional cardboard boxes and includes free delivery and pick-up.”

just 5 months, and has remained full ever since. And Dymon’s Coventry facility was no flash-inthe-pan – Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months. Each subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill. Dymon’s Kanata Centrum facility, adjacent to Canadian Tire, is the largest self storage facility in Canada, and is already half full after having just opened at the end of 2011. Pretty impressive stuff when you realize the Kanata facility is twice as large as their Coventry facility! To put this all in perspective, a facility the size of Dymon’s Kanata location would ordinarily take up to 36–48 months to fill in the US.

so Who is your typiCal dymon Customer? The reasons why people need storage are endless. For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home. Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars. Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to

design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this by its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand. “Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.” Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site boardrooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of businesses. “Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton. “Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inventory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-warehouse instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.” This fall, Dymon is also preparing to launch a new convenient document storage, retrieval and destruction business ideally suited for all types of business. “These additional services that will be offered to our customers represent another natural evolution of our business as we continue to serve our business customers better,” concludes Creighton. Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels and existing business successes. “We are continually introducing new services and products to improve what Dymon has to offer,” says

Dymon even assists you if you want to sell any of your stuff. DymonMine.com offers its customers the chance to sell things in a totally secure and convenient fashion. Dymon will photograph, describe and upload items to its website where potential buyers can view them or they can drop down to the facility and have a look. And just this month DymonMine.com introduced its new offer/ counter offer system where buyers and sellers can negotiate by e-mail, totally anonymously. The new process is fun, simple, and effective. When items are sold, Dymon issues a cheque to the customer, who doesn’t even have to know who bought the item. “Many Dymon customers were saying they wanted to sell some of their excess stuff, but they were frustrated that there weren’t really many convenient sales options available to them,” says DymonMine.com’s Manager, Peter Kalil “so we developed our on-line marketplace as a safe, convenient, hassle-free way for customers to sell and buy stuff.”

You should take the time to drop by one of Dymon’s convenient locations across the City – they really are unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.

f you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name. One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna. She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding. Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!” I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often. Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Ana-

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff dama bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days. ANADAMA BREAD

• 2/3 cup water • 2 tbsp. cornmeal • 1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine • 2 tbsp. molasses

When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing. This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for two to four people.

Prayers get family through Dirty Thirties

e learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much. Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things, we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the west hill under which the cows were seeking refuge in a storm was another question he asked. So other than grace at the table at meal time, father pretty well left the praying up to mother. Although mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it

And then of course we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers, I thought back then. In fact his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United church a stone’s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories was how often, and how fervently you did so. And so every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner.” That was because we all had to scrunch down around mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and it was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on mother’s knee, but Emerson usually beat me to it. Mother would wait until we had all settled down

around her knee, our eyes closed and our hands in steeples, and then she would begin. Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word. I wondered back then if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything such as rain, good crops, a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door-to-door in Renfrew. Mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers.

and much wiser sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other. To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ramrod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet.’ It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday with my own thoughts. And then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things

that I had seen in the five and dime store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for. We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the Bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote ... there were the graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, it was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, that were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

EMC news - A group of Kanata youth spent three weeks in the Arctic on a cultural exchange and hike through a national park. The trip was a collaboration of the 1st Kanata Scouts and the Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada (SEVEC), a national charitable organization that promotes educational visits, trips and exchanges in Canada. The group of 22 had a chance to connect with the community in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, and 16 of the exchange travelers hiked through Auyuittuq National Park. “We hiked 68 kilometres from Overlord at the end of Pangnirtung Fiord to Summit

Lake and back across the Arctic Circle with 50-pound packs on our back,” said Peter Dodsworth, one of the adults who chaperoned the trip. The hikers split off into two groups and spent nine days traveling through the national park. HIKE

“It was astonishing seeing Mount Thor and all the other landmarks,” said John Dodsworth, 17. John said one of his favourite moments was watching the clouds break apart as the group approached Mount Thor. “The clouds had come apart and the tip of Thor was peaking out,” he said. The group took lessons in river crossings before heading

north. According to Auyuittuq National Park officials, river and water crossings are the most dangerous obstacle groups face in the area, since water levels can rise or fall in a matter of minutes. As it was, it rained off and on throughout the hike. River crossings could take up to an hour because the group would have to scout a safe place to cross, change out of hiking boots into water shoes and wade through water that, at times, came halfway up the body. “That was one of the most challenging parts,” said Peter. There was only two hours of dusk when the group first arrived and temperatures dipped between zero and four degrees Celsius at night. “We were tired enough from

down the cliff faces. “On the second last day we saw a huge rock fall,” said 15year-old Derek Smith. The last day, as the landscape was shrouded in fog, the group could hear a rock fall begin but

hiking – we slept well,” said Peter. The group ate freeze-dried meals and drank glacier water during the hike. At times, they could hear rock falls as the stones came loose and tumbled

couldn’t see where it was taking place. “It was unnerving,” said Derek, adding it was loud. “All you hear is the rocks crashing down.” See MEMORABLE, page 18

‘It was one of the most memorable moments of my life’: youth The 13 adolescents from Kanata were hosted by an equal number of Pangnirtung youth during their stay up north – the same group that

was hosted in Ottawa earlier this summer. “We tried eating different country food,” said Paige Gladwin, 17. “We got to try beluga whale.” She added the group had a

chance to meet and talk with elders in the community about climate change, the difference in cultures and how times have changed. Pangnirtung boasts a population of about 1,600 people.

Continued from page 17

“It was shocking how small it was,” said John, adding the group “made a lot of good friends there.” A group of the youth braved the cold waters in the town and took a took a quick dip. Paige lasted the longest, swimming for about five minutes before getting out. “It was warmer than I’d anticipated,” she said. Her favourite part of the excursion was a boat ride to a

whaling station. “We didn’t go with a professional outfitter,” she said. Instead, they went out with a local on his boat. “We saw seals and whales and played on an ice shelf, which was gigantic and had a snowball fight,” said Paige. “I would probably say it was one of the most memorable moments of my life.” The group said without the help from SEVEC they

wouldn’t have had the experiences they described. Before the exchange society came on board, the group was only planning on hiking the national park. But with SEVEC, they were able to stretch out the trip and take part in a cultural exchange. “We would not have had a connection to the community,” said Peter Dodsworth. “(They have) a different way of living but it was very interesting.”

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Centre Team Everyone has experienced knee pain at one time or another, and there are many different conditions which cause knee pain. Sometimes pain is produced with a local trauma, like falling on or twisting your knee. However, much of the time there’s no one clear “mechanism of injury” that starts the pain off. A very common condition which typically develops in this way is patella-femoral joint syndrome (or PFJS for short). PFJS occurs when the kneecap, which needs to move up and down on the rest of the knee joint, doesn’t move along the pathway it’s meant to. This “maltracking” can lead to pain, clicking,

grinding and other abnormal sensations coming from under the kneecap. Overtime, this can lead to a wearing away of the kneecap cartilage. There are many possible contributing factors to PFJS. Sometimes there is a lack of local muscle strength to control the kneecap position, or excess tightness around the kneecap restricting normal movement. Often there is a lack of hip muscle control, which allows the leg to fall into a poor biomechanical position when moving around. Poor foot/ankle control or excessive “flat feet” can also contribute to PFJS. A physiotherapist or other

trained health practitioner can assess for what contributing factors are leading to your knee pain and provide treatment approaches to address your needs, whether it be exercises to work on your hip, knee or ankle control, releasing tight soft tissues in your leg, or suggest if orthotics might be of benefit.

offensive. It can be a good idea to store religious items as well. 9. Clean out closets and cabinets: Partially empty closets and cabinets give the suggestion that the home is large and has plenty of storage space -- so much so that it doesn’t even all need to be used. Buyers who see jampacked closets could wonder what’s up with storage. Selling a home in a tough market can be easier when homeowners take the steps needed to stage homes for a faster sale.

Despite low interest rates and declining sale prices, there is still a lot of home inventory available. That means homeowners thinking about selling have to do whatever they can to set their homes apart from the others available. Real estate experts call it “staging,” or presenting the home in the best light so that potential buyers can envision themselves moving right in. Just a few changes here and there can position a home to sell faster than the competition. 1. The nose knows. A house can be perfect inside and out, but if it smells bad, buyers will likely be put off. Make sure there is no noticeable odor, such as pet smells, garbage, stale smoke, etc., to turn off others. 2. Clear out. Make sure the interior looks as spacious as possible. This could mean taking out some furniture and temporarily putting it in storage. Be sure countertops in bathrooms and kitchens are free of clutter. And pack away knick-knacks that can collect dust. 3. Cater to the lazy person. Potential buyers generally want to move in and simply unpack. They don’t want to make major repairs. Therefore, homeowners should do whatever repairs are possible, within reason. If that means tearing down dated wallpaper or replacing carpeting with hardwood floors, it could mean a faster sale. 4. Do a deep cleaning. Whether a cleaning service is hired or the homeowner does it himself, tackling necessary cleaning projects could make the home shine. Now is the time to wash the windows, shampoo the carpets, regrout the bathrooms, and tackle all of those messes that could compromise a sale. 5. Add a fresh coat of paint. If walls are bright colors or eclectic, it could pay to paint rooms in more neutral shades to appeal to the masses. Just be aware that some buyers are suspicious of paint, especially freshly painted ceilings. They may think a homeowner is trying to hide something, usually water stains. 6. Keep the home updated. While one doesn’t have to follow every trend, ensuring the home is ageless can make for a better sell. So if the cabinets scream 1985 and the bathroom is circa 1967, it could be time to do some updating. 7. Create “happy” spaces. Buyers don’t want to purchase a dark home that seems full of doom and gloom. Open the windows, turn on the lights, add lights to dark rooms and use light colors as room accents. Generally buyers want a bright and light home. 8. Avoid provocation. One potential buyer could be an animal lover, another a political activist. No one can tell who will view the home. So don’t display personal items that might offend. Take down mounted deer heads and put away books that may seem

Curvy Girls celebrate a year of scoliosis support laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Decked out in pink and proud, Ottawa’s Curvy Girls celebrated one year of being the only scoliosis support group of its kind in Canada on Sept. 16. The monthly support group proudly displayed what it means to be a “cuvy girl” in a Golden Triangle church basement, revealing what its like to live with a spine curvature. Scoliosis is no longer screened for in Canada, but three to five per cent of children will be diagnosed with scoliosis, and one to three per cent of those children – mostly girls – will require treatment with a back brace. The technology used to make the braces hasn’t really changed for half a century, said Joe O’Brien, president of the National Scoliosis Foundation, and that’s what makes Curvy Girls so much more important than a regular support group. The groups, the first of which was founded in the state of New York in 2006, show girls they are not alone and increase the likelihood that girls will use their braces properly and stay committed to exercises that can help stop the progression of the deforming curve in their spines. “There is nothing more ex-

citing than this group,” said O’Brien, who is himself a scoliosis patient and has been heavily involved in scoliosis organizations and research his entire life. “That bonding, that support, is very powerful.” Danielle Denisko, who founded the Ottawa chapter, said she wanted the group to give girls a way to feel confident and fit in with their peers. At a time when teens are already trying to fit in, dealing with something that makes them feel different, dealing with the stress of having to wear a bulky back brace is challenging, she said. “We started this initiative to make sure that one day, coast to coast, everyone would know what scoliosis is and no one would have to feel alone,” said Denisko, who is from Barrhaven. Laureen Harper, wife of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, came out to lend her support to the girls. “I just want to support all the girls here in Ottawa. I think this is a great idea,” Harper said. “It’s just very helpful for the girls with scoliosis to meet and trade secrets … nobody ever likes to feel alone.” Such support is particularly important for girls who must undergo surgery (often to fuse the spine) to halt the advance of the curvature in extreme cases. Denisko and seven other

girls – and their parents – first met last September and there are more than 16 girls in the group now. Local physiotherapist Andrea Lebel helped found the group because she saw a need for her patients to share information and support each other. More so than with almost any other condition or disease, sharing knowledge is critical to successful scoliosis treatment, O’Brien said. That’s because the condition is “idiopathic,” meaning it cannot be traced to one cause. Everyone’s scoliosis is different and is caused by a different genetic or environmental trigger, and that’s not something the medical profession is well-equipped to deal with. All scoliosis patients tend to be treated the same way, whereas one girl’s condition might react very differently to a type of treatment than another girl. Furthermore, each girl might have several different doctors – a family doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapist and more – telling her to do different things. “We have the most confused patient community out there, and it’s because of the doctors we see,” O’Brien said. “It adds to our burden.” Leah Stoltz of Long Island, N.Y., was well aware of that burden when she founded Curvy Girls in 2006. Soon

Kanata resident Catherine Ma and her mother, Jingchen Ma, check out a display of back braces during the first anniversary celebration for the Ottawa chapter of the Curvy Girls. after, other girls followed suit and 32 groups sprung up across the United States. The Ottawa chapter was the first group to make the movement international. “Scoliosis is two parts: the physical and the emotional. The emotional part often gets overlooked,” Stoltz said. “We are the emotional brace.” Curvy Girls Ottawa can be found on Facebook or at www.curvygirlsscoliosis. com/groups/ottawa-ca.html.

Around the world for Kanata soccer pro ‘Having the privilege of traveling is just a blessing’ Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - An All Saints Catholic High School grad has traveled the world to play the sport he loves. Odaine Demar currently plays for the Kingston FC, and is contracted to Gamla Upsala Sportklubb (GUSK) in Sweden, a second division professional soccer team. The 20-year-old contacted the Swedish club and sent over his resume and videos. The powers that be were impressed. “I was on trial for a week, and ended up staying for the whole month,” said Demar. “It was quite overwhelming at first to be honest…a new country, a new environment.” Demar was overseas playing on a travel visa, but after a handful of games he needs a work permit to continue hitting the field. So he came home to Morgan’s Grant at the end of August where he will remain until his work permit is approved. “It’s just experiencing something different. Having the privilege of traveling is just

a blessing,” said Demar. “For soccer, it’s even a bigger privilege.” His immediate plans include finishing the season with the Kingston FC, obtaining his Swedish work visa and heading back overseas to continue playing. After that, “hopefully sign for a Swedish premier league club and decide my future from there,” said Demar. CHASE THE DREAM

Demar has played ball in a number of different countries, including Jamaica, England, Scotland, Germany, Sweden, and Canada. Nationally, he’s played in Vancouver, Quebec, Kingston and Toronto.

I don’t smile much. Playing soccer makes me smile. ODAINE DEMAR KINGSTON FC

“It’s fun,” he said. “It’s all for soccer.” He said his travels have really helped improve his handling. “Experiencing different styles of play – I think it’s because of my traveling…that’s helped me develop my play,”

he said. Born in Jamaica and awaiting his Canadian citizenship, Odaine said his dream is to one day play for the Canadian men’s national team. “If you have a dream, just keep chasing your dream no matter what,” he said. “It all comes down to hard work.” Demar began playing competitively in 2005 after a friend helped convince him to try out for the Hendon FC in London, England, a semi-professional soccer team. At All Saints, he held the record for second-most goals in the school’s history with a total of 45 over the course of four years. Demar said he used the sport as a means of coping with his home life growing up. “People who know me know I don’t smile much. Playing soccer makes me smile,” said Demar, adding he was never close with his parents and didn’t have anyone to look up to. “I feel like it’s my only escape to be honest. I’ve had a lot of problems growing up. Soccer has been my way to escape and have fun. “It’s a really good feeling.”

Odaine Demar, 20, currently plays for the Kingston FC, and is contracted to Gamla Upsala Sportklubb (GUSK) in Sweden, a second division professional soccer team.

Kanata Knights defeat last year’s midget champs Kanata Knights Football Club

It was a busy and tough schedule for the Kanata Knights’ tyke and midget football teams last week. The tyke and midget Knights both went 1-1 last week, both playing at home and away games. The peewee Knights only played one game, but it was a good one, emerging as 26-7 victors over last year’s undefeated champions, the number-one ranked Myers Orléans Bengals at Bob Barr Football Field on Friday, Sept. 14. The mosquito Knights lost 48-6 against the Myers Orléans Bengals at Garneau football field on Saturday, Sept. 15. For more information, check out the Knights’ website at www.kanataknightsfootball. com. TYKE

larie. Allarie also caught an interception and carried the ball for two yards. Kaseem Ferdinand played a key role in stopping the Bengals’ running game and had 12 tackles. The 3-1 tykes Knights next play the Brockville Buccaneers at Commonwealth Public School football field in Brockville on Sunday, Sept. 23, starting at 2 p.m. MOSQUITO

The mosquito Knights travelled to Orléans on Saturday to face the Myers- Orléans Bengals and without warning found themselves mid-game trapped in a huge sinkhole, down 34-0 by halftime. It took a team effort to dig themselves out of the sewage, starting with the work of the offensive line. The Magnificent Seven made gaping holes even a car could fit through, which allowed running back Connor Ogilvie to explode for 174 yards rushing. The offensive line also gave quarterback Jared Valentino

time to complete a nice 26yard throw to Connor. On the defensive side, Kanata slowed down the Bengals to a crawl in the second half, with the help of six lead pipe solo tackles by Shabach Kerr, Jay Vitagliano excavated a fumble recovery and Justin Malloy had three tackles and blocked two extra point kicks. The Knights lost 48-6 and will brush off the scrapes and bruises and prepare for Wednesday night match against the Myers Riders.

PEEWEE

The peewee Knights continued its winning streak, bringing in a long-awaited victory against the Myers Riders at Bob Barr field on Sept. 12. With much of the play happening within the 10-yard line, the teams literally battled it out head to head throughout the match up but in the end, the Knights came through with a 7-1 victory. Leading the charge for the Knights were Ashton Vanasse,

who pulled in the single touchdown, Jacob Cuffley, Brady Tran and Tyler Rehman. The Knights’ Antonio Albery, Liam MacInnis, Patrick Massia, Garrett Kirk, Brett Campbell, Sandro Idone, Liam Quinton, Patrick Heika, Connor Spero, Braiden D’Aoust, Luke Morrison, Trey Russell-Johnson, Nick Beer and Dylan Marshall ran, drove and fought to keep up the pace.

The tyke Knights went 11 during last week’s play in the National Capital Amateur Football Association. The Knights lost 12-6 against the Myers Riders at Bob Barr Football Field on Wednesday, Sept. 12, and then picked up a win in, defeating the Myers Orléans Bengals by a score of 13-12 at Garneau football field on Saturday, Sept. 15. On Sept. 12, the Knights kept the Riders off the score-

board until the third quarter, when Myers threw for a touchdown and tied the game 6-6. The Knights’ defence, led by Evan Wakeman, Brody Bampton, Jack McCrady and Brennan Walsh, worked overtime to stop the Riders offence in the fourth quarter. But with seconds left to play in the game, the Riders scored a touchdown, securing a 12-6 win. A few days later, the Knights traveled to Orléans, where the team faced the Myers Orléans Bengals. It would take more than a sinkhole to stop the Knights from showing up game ready. The offence produced two touchdowns for the day, from Devaughn Blackwood and Nicholas Allarie. Blackwood also scored a two point conversion following the second touchdown. The Knights held their ground with strong blocking from Kyle Prince, AJ Richmond, Riley Gilmour, Wilson Brown and Michael Chiasson. The Knights’ defence was full of surprises, with three batted balls by Joe Brennan, Mason Boomhower and Al-

The Knights’ defensive wall that kept the Riders from scoring was made up of players: Stewart Melville, Michael Kraeker, Ryan Miskelly, Jordan Porter, Evan Wilson, Tristen Hubley, Dylan Walker and Alex Whibley. Knights players: Charles Huynh, Gavin Goyette, Duncan McDonald, Dante Bourbonnais, Scott Robinson, Alex Polataiko, Dylan Lachance, Evan Wilson and Thomas Patridge maintained a strong Kanata defence. On Saturday, Sept. 15, the peewee Knights lost for the first time in three games against the North Gloucester Giants at Gil-O-Julien football field. The Knights lost 34-18. Knights’ touchdowns from Ashton Vanasse, Jacob Cuffley, and Brady Tran kept the Knights in the game. The team’s offense, led by Tyler Rehman, Patrick Massia, Luke Morrison, Garrett Kirk and Sandro Idone, dug deep and drove the ball over and over against the Giants’ tough defence. Not to be outdone, the Knights’ defence showed grit and determination keeping the Giants down from running up the score. Michael Kraeker,

Dylan Lachance, Tristen Hubley, Thomas Patridge, Dylan Walker and Duncan McDonald showed what Knights are made of with their tough but gentlemanly play. The Knights next play the Bel-Air Lions at the Nepean Sportsplex on Sept. 21, starting at 6:30 p.m. MIDGET

Under the Friday night lights, and in the pouring rain, the midget Knights shocked last year’s undefeated champions, the number-one ranked Myers Orléans Bengals, with a decisive 26-7 victory at Bob Barr field on Sept. 14. The Knights’ defence came alive, led by monster defensive lineman Jasmine Dervisevic, who had solo tackles. Fellow lineman John Allarie also had a great game with one assisted tackle, one interception and a thundering kickoff return of 15 yards. Jordon Gorgichuk was outstanding with an interception, three solo tackles and an assisted tackle. Conner Brydges had two quarterback sacks, Sebastian Mordak one sack and Taylor Jackson had an assisted sack. See MIDGET, page 32

Protective Plumbing mAintenAnce It is important for residents to remember to check and clean their protective plumbing as part of regular maintenance. The backflow valves and/or sump pump must be checked and maintained at least once a year to ensure that they are free of debris and continue to work properly. In addition, clean out caps and check that the access covers are firmly secured at all times. If you are not sure, contact a plumber or check with your installer or manufacturer for recommendations.

ORLEANS SINKHOLE Last Friday, as Chair of the Transportation Committee, I visited the site of the sinkhole to see the progress first-hand and to thank those who had been working non-stop to install a new pipe and get the road back into full service. The failure of this pipe has caused widespread concern about our infrastructure. Ottawa has a regular inspection program for our entire infrastructure – roads, bridges, culverts, water and sewer pipes and buildings. Funding is provided each year to deal with those most in need of repair and that was the case with the culvert that failed. The work to reline the pipe was to start the next day. Just hours before the culvert collapsed the contractor’s staff had gone into the pipe to remove debris and had not noted any signs of imminent collapse. The City is taking a proactive approach with similar culverts and will be relining several similar ones this year. A full investigation of the reason for the collapse will also to be undertaken using an independent consultant.

Casino downtown

a losing move Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013. Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.

OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%

The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers. By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011. The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.

fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.

Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa. Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,

These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces. In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.

From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos

The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments. Send your concerns to your City Councillor today!

Carp Fair returns to rural roots Emphasis on agriculture, homecraft in event’s 149th year Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Both the agricultural/homecraft and entertainment sides of the 149th Carp Fair are promising loads of fun this weekend. This year’s co-presidents, Paul Caldwell and Heather Johnston, say pulling together the massive event this year was

a formidable challenge. The drought left many with greater worries on the homefront. A fire at the fairboard offices three days after they took the reins didn’t help either. But volunteers worked that much harder to ensure one of the region’s favourite events goes off without a hitch. “We had a rough start with the fire, but we’re good now,”

Caldwell said. “It seemed to be a little bit of a (bad) omen, but we’re getting ready for a good fair, that’s for sure.” This year’s theme is “Thanks to the past”. Among the highlights of the fair is the heavy horse show, Eastern Canada and Northern New York State’s largest. Expect to see 17 six-horse hitches in the ring at one time. Another highlight, new this year, is the hands-on “awareness tent” where kids will get to learn how cow milking is done, along with sheep sheering and butter churning. Other agriculture/homecraft competitions include: heavy and light horse; beef and dairy cattle; sheep; field crops; grain and seeds; fruits and vegetables; maple syrup and honey; flowers; domestic science; sewing, needlework, and crafts; along with the much anticipated home brewing wine and beer. Caldwell said the fair is moving away from its reputation as a “city fair” in favour of a return to its rural roots. Educating kids and adults alike on where food comes from is taking on a greater role. Thursdays are normally reserved for Toonies for the Troops. But in light of this

summer’s drought, the focus has shifted to Toonies for Farmers. Caldwell said he’s talked to area farmers who say Renfrew County was hit hardest but that anyone growing corn has suffered. Hay is also hard to come by; for a round bail that typically goes for $85, farmers are getting just $35. Money raised during the Carp Fair will go to the West Carleton Food Aid, which in turn will buy local beef for those in need, making it a win-win-win. Caldwell is looking forward to the 4H shows, involving some 150 budding farmers. He said far from declining in interest, more and more kids are taking part these days. Kids have worked hard since spring rearing their animals for shows across the province – from London to Lindsay to Pakenham. The culmination is this weekend in Carp. “It’s a big achievement for the kids,” he said. “They put a lot of work into it.” He credits renewed interest in 4H to great leadership and youth interested in activities that put an emphasis on co-operation and helping one another. Carp Fair is unique in that a co-president reaches the top after 12 years as director of various other sections: from parking to horses to cattle. Caldwell said at this point he

Still, he intends to have his hands full this weekend. “It’ll be busy, but I’m sure we’ll have time to enjoy it,” adding that he looks forward to watching his daughter participate in the pig show. Fair general manager Joyce Trafford was pleased to see how this year’s co-presidents

coped with the drought and fire. And how this weekend looks bright. “I think they had a lot of added pressure,” Trafford said. “That (fire) was quite the initiation for them. But now we have a beautiful room upstairs; it has all worked out really well.” For complete details log onto carpfair.ca.

Cheap Trick storms back to Carp Fair on Sept. 21 Petersson asked a number of questions about Carp and the fair during the interview, appearing interested in what to expect when the band arrived. He was impressed to hear of the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and the experience of fair organizers. But in exchange, he made no commitments when it comes to what the crowd can expect to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just kinda wing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get the (song) list together on the spot. It frustrates the crew a little. They want the list early and would like to keep it the same. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sometimes want to try something new, or something that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done in a long time.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (a) good chance fans will hear classics like Surrender, Dream Police, and The Flame but beyond that it could be anything from the 1978 megahit Cheap Trick Live at Budokan album or from their 15 other albums. Ticket buyers can also expect to be wowed by their talent. Cheap Trick is known for its use and large collection of unusual and vintage guitars and basses. Zander has played a 1950s Rickenbacker Combo 450 Mapleglo since the late 1970s, as well as a Hamer 12-string guitar, a Schecter Guitar

INFLUENTIAL ROCKERS

Cheap Trick is highly respected by its peers and an inďŹ&#x201A;uence on its descendents. The band was one of Joey Ramoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time favorites and has received acknowledgment from such peers as Gene Simmons, Joe Perry, and Angus Young. In the 1980s, they garnered support from the hard-rock

community when bands like MĂśtley CrĂźe, Ratt and Guns Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses cited their inďŹ&#x201A;uence. An interesting shift happened during the early to midâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s that helped fortify the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credibility - the group was now being seen as inďŹ&#x201A;uential within the blossoming alternative rock scene. Kurt Cobain mentioned the band as an inďŹ&#x201A;uence, while Smashing Pumpkins showed their admiration by having Cheap Trick open shows for them. Other bands that have mentioned Cheap Trick as an inspiration and inďŹ&#x201A;uence including Pearl Jam, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty wild,â&#x20AC;? Petersson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear more than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compliment when the bands are good. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see the inďŹ&#x201A;uence in some.â&#x20AC;? After four decades of almost continuous touring, the band manages to keep the glitter going. Petersson explained that the name Cheap Trick is actually from the Glitter Rock area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in Philadelphia at the time, I think; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching Slade, and we just loved Slade, thought they were great. And the show was amazing. They had it all: plaid suits, glitter everywhere, glit-

And he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make a great name for a band.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that was the beginning of a great story thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

EMC entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little chance the weather will play cheap tricks on the Carp Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headliner this year, seeing that the legendary rock band is playing indoors at the rink. But Ottawa weather, specifically the freak storm that blew Cheap Trick offstage during Ottawa Bluesfest last year, injuring four, is the furthest thing from Tom Peterssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, that. Naw, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any reservations,â&#x20AC;? Petersson said in a phone interview from his home in Nashville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, we play a lot of places. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to go back to Ottawa.â&#x20AC;? Band driver Sandy Sanderson was the most injured during the storm that toppled the entire stadium as they closed out with the song, I Want You To Want Me. Much of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment was destroyed, but Sanderson has managed to recover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing fine,â&#x20AC;? said Petersson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all right now.â&#x20AC;? Peterssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memories are fond ones, wandering about the market enjoying India food, appreciating the wide variety of music played on Canadian radio stations. Canada was one of the first countries to embrace Cheap Trick way back in the early 1970s, something that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost on the bassist and other core members Rob Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), and Bun E. Carlos (drums). They keep up to date with Can-Con talent such as Fiest, Arcade Fire, and even smaller indie bands like The Weakerthans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; prompting Petersson to mention that Canucks are like the English in that they punch far above their weight when it comes to music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really great stuff coming out of Canada, a really interesting music scene,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the stations donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just do the cookie-cutter stuff.â&#x20AC;? Many observers have lamented the so-called death of rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;roll, but not Petersson. He sees it as just the opposite. Great music is available everywhere, not like when he was a kid in the U.S. scrambling to find reviewers who would assure him such-andsuch a performer or band was worth the money; then travelling to a distant record store that might or might not have the record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not dead. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kinda surprised itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing so well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everywhere,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today you can release your own recordings, be your own promo machine; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the exact opposite of dead. When we were kids there was no information anywhere. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy.â&#x20AC;? If anything thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fear that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like the consumption of news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people are focusing too narrowly on what interests them, at the expense of enjoying collective variety and curiosity about new ideas, he said; adding that the embracement of new music is the source of youth.

Research Corsair Bigsby, a Gibson Firebird, and various Fender Telecaster-styled guitars. Nielsen is an avid collector who has over 250 guitars in his possession. He has collaborated with Hamer on trademark â&#x20AC;&#x153;themedâ&#x20AC;? guitars, some based on Cheap Trick albums such as Rockford, The Doctor, and even songs such as Gonna Raise Hell. Hamer has also made unique ďŹ ve-necked guitars and electric mandocellos for Nielsen. Carlos has played with many different commercial drum accessories, including Ludwig and Slingerland Radio King drums, Zildjian cymbals, rare Billy Gladstone snare drums, and Capella drum sticks. He is also an avid collector of vintage drums. Petersson is generally credited for having the initial idea for a twelve-string bass.

Child prodigy to perform fundraiser for Kanata Food Cupboard Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A South African cellist who specializes in improvisational music will perform a charity concert for the Kanata Food Cupboard at St. John’s Anglican Church in Katimavik on Sept. 28. Francois Roux will begin his six-week North American Tour with a performance in Katimavik. Roux is known as the Ha!MAN – “ha” is a breath that brings body and mind into fresh relation, said the musician on his website. “He’s a very innovative, very creative man,” said Gordon Walt, the charity concert’s

organizer. Roux loves to share his talent with others, said Walt. “He sings he dances, he makes these strange noises, he plays the cello,” he said. “He’s a master of improvisation. “He pre-records some sounds on his equipment and he’ll play the cello over top of these sounds – it’s extremely innovative.” Admission to the concert is free, but those who attend are asked to bring a contribution for the Kanata Food Cupboard, which will be placed at the church’s worship area. A free will offering – taken to help defray the musician’s travel costs – will be taken at the end of the performance. Roux performed at Trinity

Presbyterian Church in Kanata during Thanksgiving weekend last year, which resulted in a low turnout, said Walt. “That’s why it’s earlier this year,” he said. “I’m hoping we’ll have at least 100 people this year.” Walt has contacted the music departments of all the high schools in Kanata to inform them about the upcoming concert. “He loves to have young people (from) music programs,” said Walt. The Ha!MAN concert will be held at St. John’s Anglican Church, located at 20 Young Rd., Katimavik, on Sept. 28, starting at 8 p.m. For more information visit www.hamanworld.com.

Dreams Take Flight Ottawa takes off for Walt Disney World Theresa Fritz

return to Ottawa just before midnight, spending nine hours at the Magic Kingdom. “It’s a long day,” Barnett said. Volunteers, children and parents were advised that Florida in September is hot and humid, so staying hydrated is important. “Florida will be hot and muggy. Last year it was (45 C) all day,” Barnett advised, adding a doctor and two nurses do accompany travellers. This will mark Barnett’s third Dreams Take Flight trip to Disney and she said each experience is incredibly moving and uplifting for all involved. “It is unbelievable. It is the looks on the kids’ faces. It is just everything. It means so much to them,” said Barnett. “Some of these kids go through a lot of things (and) this day away is just a way for them to be kids again.” Dreams Take Flight Ottawa uses specific criteria to select children for the trip. All are between the ages of six and 12 and have never visited a Disney theme park before. “It is challenging but very rewarding,” Barnett said of the logistics of the one-day trip. “I am really looking forward to the flight and seeing everything run smoothly.” R0011613238

EMC events - A group of Ottawa-area children are about to embark on the trip of a lifetime. Dreams Take Flight Ottawa is a not-for-profit charitable organization offering a one-day trip for physically, mentally or socially challenged children to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. This year’s trip is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 25. Since 1995, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa has given special needs children an incredible day where they can be carefree and make memories to last forever. Thee kids are treated to a wonderful day at the happiest place on earth – Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. In anticipation of this year’s trip, the 16th since 1995, an orientation day was held Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Canada Science and Technology Museum for volunteers, children and their parents, as well as members of the media who will be making the whirlwind journey. According to Caroline Barnett, this year’s day of flight director for the organization, the magical experience is made possible by generous sponsors and volunteers. “The big difference is the dedicated volunteers,” she

said. “Our entire executive is volunteer. It is 100 per cent volunteer run. No one gets paid to do any of this.” This year’s trip will cost $195,000 and wouldn’t be possible without assistance from organizations like Air Canada, which is donating the plane for the trip and Shell, which is donating the fuel. Other corporate sponsors like the clothing chain Mark’s, Crocs and Bentley, who have stepped up to assist with clothing, shoes and backpacks for volunteers and children. And even more sponsors support the trip and the charity in other ways. Various fundraising events held over the course of the year help top up coffers so that everything is paid for on the trip. Children also get spending money to bring home a Disney souvenir. Barnett said even though the big trip lasts for only one day, everyone is dedicated year-round to making it happen. “A lot of us have done this or participated with other charities and they just see this as such a viable charity and such an important charity,” she said. The visit to Walt Disney World is a long one, lasting nearly 24 hours. Children and volunteers will depart for Florida at 5:30 a.m., and

City getting free LRT advice from IBM Laura Mueller

Established in 1988, the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa (CAFO) gives children a chance to reach their full potential. Providing education and enrichment opportunities, the Foundation is committed to improving the lives of abused and neglected children and young adults in the care of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “…I am so grateful that I have had the support of the Dare to Dream bursary. I would like to thank all of the donors and let them know what a great difference they have made in my educational journey.” In 2011, the Foundation disbursed over $220,000 to help children in need, $90,000 of which provided 46 young adults assistance with postsecondary education costs. Funds raised through the generosity of donors and community partners go a long way to help improve child welfare in Ottawa. Year after year, these thoughtful donations are what make the Children’s Aid Foundation’s mission a reality.

IBM provided a team of its executives to conduct interviews and do research as they create a marketing plan over their three-week project. “The city is reaching a tipping point where this info is going to become more critical to the city’s future,” said Norm Chatelier, a spokesperson for the team. The other members of the team include Kate Chess, a “worldwide solutions executive” with IBM who oversees international business and infrastructure sales who has previously worked as a customer relationship manager. Another member, Hamid Khafagy, oversees the government sector for the devel-

opment of IBM’s complex technical solutions based in Dubai. Louise Plourde, another team member, serves as the business transformation and IT executive for IBM Canada. Michael Stevens is a senior marketing manager in IBM’s software group and the government market segment manager for IBM’s information management division. His work concentrates on using information analytics to create smarter governments. Leslie Thomas is an expert in solving large and complex organizational and performance issues.

innovative solutions for social collaboration. Their advice would be worth about $400,000 but the city will get it for free. The experts sent by IBM will crunch numbers and engage stakeholders to see if the city is on the right track when it comes to creating market interest in developing the transit hubs. The study could recommend whether public investment is required to meet the needs of the current – and future – population of the city. This year’s IBM Smarter Cities Challenge was announced on March 15 and Ottawa is one of two Canadian cities that were selected. Ottawa and Surrey, B.C., are the two Canadian cities among the 100 worldwide selected for the 2012 Smarter Cities Challenge. Since it began three years ago, 100 cities such as St. Louis, Philadelphia, Helsinki and Sapporo, Japan have utilized similar expertise from IBM worth around $50 million.

Every child should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

EMC news – On the same day the city received three bids for builders of its lightrail system, it also welcomed a team of international experts to devise a marketing plan for land around the new rapid transit line. The IBM Smarter Cities Challenge kicked off in Ottawa on Sept. 11 with the arrival of six experts who have never met, but who will live together in Ottawa for three weeks while devising a strategy to advertise transit hubs as attractive places for developers to build residential and commercial buildings. Dense housing and businesses around LRT stations will be critical to boosting ridership levels on the $2.1-billion LRT line from Blair to Tunney’s Pasture, set to be completed by 2017. “We are good at plans, but we need a marketing strategy that entices private investors to invest along those corridors,” planning committee chairman Peter Hume said during the committee’s Sept. 11 meeting. “This will help build Ottawa’s new destination neighbourhoods and set the stage for future development.” The IBM team will come up with marketing plans specifically for stations at Train, St. Laurent and Cyrville, but those plans will be transferable to other areas that will be ripe for development when LRT arrives. Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said the exercise will set the stage for Ottawa’s future. “This will look at how the LRT will influence how our economy grows,” she said. Beyond the economic impact, light rail has huge city-

Kanata student wins Duke of Edinburgh award Brier Dodge

EMC news - Youth from across Canada came to Ottawa for a Sept. 12 presentation from Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex. The Duke of Edinburgh Award for Young Canadians were presented to young people at the Ottawa Convention Centre. Several Ottawa students made the list of 130 who had completed the requirements for their gold level certificate. To receive the gold level Duke of Edinburgh Award, students must complete a minimum of 60 hours of community service over 12 months, a three-night camping trip, a skill development program and 50 hours of physical activity over 25 weeks. It was a chance for Prince Edward to return to Ottawa, the place the first Duke of Edinburgh Awards were given out in Canada 50 years ago. Peter Melanson, national president of the Duke of Edinburgh award, was alongside the prince. “Today is a day for a great many celebrations,” he said. “The Governor General, David Johnston, addressed the audience by pre-recorded video.

“Today we share your pride and celebrate your success,” said Johnston. “I encourage you to stay involved beyond today.” Prince Andrew went through the 130 youths group by group, addressing them and their families following the presentation of certifi-

A large number of participants take part through their secondary schools or through Scouts Canada. “I’m also particularly pleased that many of you have experience overseas.” From Ottawa centre, Erin Chapman, Kevin Ianson, Daniel Morrow, Jessica Silva received awards. Kanata’s Zahra Chamma received the award, as did Stittsville’s Alexandra Vincent. Nepean had five recipients: Gage Emond, Emily Featherstone, Andrew Hick-

man, Megan Lunau and Rodney Newcombe. Silva spoke to the entire audience, representing all the award winners. “I cannot express how meaningful it is for me to be recognized by a member of the Royal Family,” said Silva, who was inspired to complete the gold level while living for two months in Zambia. Elmwood School graduates Alex Vincent, from Stittsville, Erin Chapman, from Rockcliffe Park and Nepean’s Emily Featherstone were all present at the ceremony. Vincent is now studying mechanical engineering at Carleton University. She said she enjoyed the opportunity to take part in the awards process because she was able to help the younger students at Elmwood achieve their bronze and silver levels of the award. For Featherstone, it opened doors as she tried rowing. Now attending Queen’s University for biology, she made the junior varsity rowing team – something that wouldn’t have happened before the award program. “You at least will know how to seize these opportunities and overcome those challenges,” said Prince Edward.

Fifteen advisory groups slashed to five Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - City council has approved slashing the number of citizen advisory groups at city hall from 15 to five. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee (OBHAC) from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. When the matter was discussed by a joint finance and governance committee on Aug, 30, Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mercy killing.” The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, and killing them is the final stage, Brocklebank said. “Put advisory committees out of their misery,” he said. Creating a heritage subcommittee that includes more city councillors than citizen

experts is a move that has come under fire from heritage advocates. The deputy city clerk, Lesley Donnelly, says the city has had continuous issues recruiting good members for the built heritage advisory committee, so lowering the number of members and elevating it to a subcommittee should help attract the kind of candidates the city is looking for, Donnelly told councillors.

Put advisory committees out of their misery. Bob Brocklebank Glebe resident

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wasn’t convinced. “My sense is that we’ve done a little bit too much streamlining and it’s gone too far. Heritage… is one area in particular that’s gone too far,” he said during the Sept. 12 council meeting. Donnelly said council members who sit on that committee will become “heritage advocates” for heritage issues when they come to committee

and city council. The heritage subcommittee will include councillors Peter Clark (whose Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward includes two heritage conservation districts), Katherine Hobbs, (a member of the planning committee and councillor for Kitchissippi Ward), Scott Moffatt (the rural representative, from Rideau-Goulbourn Ward) and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder (Barrhaven) in addition to three members of the public. Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established, a city report states. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians, and other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful, according to a report from the city clerk’s office. A broader report about citizen engagement is expected be discussed by city committees in December.

West district police officer selected to join Himalayan climb Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - A Carleton Place man has been selected to join a team of Canadian veterans attempting to summit Island Peak, a 6,189-metre mountain in the Himalayas next month. Carl Keenan will join 11 other veterans who were wounded or suffered an illness while serving in the military. Keenan was injured while serving in Afghanistan from 2007-08 as a member of the Canadian Forces Protective Services Unit, providing security for generals and other V.I.P.s. During his final week of his tour of duty, Keenan stepped on a piece of broken glass. The soldier pulled the glass out and tended to his foot himself, as he didn’t want to be sent home before the other members of his six-man team. When Keenan returned home he discovered he needed surgery to remove pieces of glass still stuck in his foot. Keenan’s marriage ended soon after his return. “I have close personal friends who have battled PTSDs (post traumatic stress disorder) and I have friends who have suffered wounds in the military,” said Keenan. “There’s always the concern, is there life after the military?” The March to the Top climb was organized by True Patriot

Love, a national foundation that supports current and retired members of the military as well as their families. The expedition, made up of 12 veterans and eight donors, is raising money and awareness for the foundation. A documentary filmed by CBC will follow the veterans as they arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal on Oct. 7 and begin a month-long trek to Mount Everest base camp before attempting to summit Island Peak.

The foundation raises money for programs like the Military Families Fund, which provides emergency assistance to the families of soldiers. For more information about the charity visit www.truepatriotlove.com. Keenan, who is now a constable with the Ottawa police, serving in west division, was selected from a group of 140 applicants. “It was on my bucket list,” he said. “To be able to do it with a volunteer/fundraiser is unbe-

lievable.” The 36 year old, who will soon be moving to Stittsville, applied for the expedition in April and learned he made the team in August. “I thought to myself, I better start training a little bit harder,” said Keenan, after he found out he made the final cut. For the past six months, Keenan has done three crossfit workouts three times a week and two 10-kilometre runs twice a week. “I feel great,” he said. “I’ve

always been in decent shape.” Keenan combined his exercise regime with a strict diet that allowed no junk food. His climbing experience is limited to a one-week mountaineering course he took in Canmore, Alta. and an iceclimbing course he took with Outward Bound, a company that organizes canoeing, kayaking and mountaineering adventures. While in Nepal, Keenan will be able to keep in touch with his girlfriend and newborn son over

an Internet phone connection provided by the expedition’s organizers. “I appreciate all the support I’ve gotten to this point,” said Keenan. “I’m looking forward to summitting this mountain with soldiers who’ve been through a lot of similar experiences. “But in the end I’m really looking forward to helping my fellow soldiers.” For more information about the expedition visit www.expeditionhimalayas.ca.

EMC news - Garbage collection will change to every two weeks starting Oct. 29, and the city is offering some high-tech tools to make the transition easier for residents. With the new web-based collection calendar tool, peeking out the front door to see if your neighbours put out their trash will be a thing of the past, IT subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said. The tool offers a searchable online calendar, as well as weekly collection reminders by phone, email or Twitter. You can also choose whether you want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the morning of your collection day. Information can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recycle/. As of last Monday, four days after its launch, there were more than 5,300 searches logged and 1,337 people signed up for household reminders. Starting Oct. 29, green-bin materials will be collected each week and the frequency of cardboard and container recycling won’t change, but gar-

bage pick up will be reduced to every two weeks. As a result of the transition, 158,000 households in Ottawa will get a new garbage collection day. Waste will be picked up by new “dual-collection” trucks that can collect organic and recyclable materials at the same time, reducing the number of trucks on the road. The changes are expected to save the city $10 million each year and were approved by city council in an 18-4 vote in April. Some councillors (Rainer Bloess, Diane Deans, Jan Harder, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney) would have preferred to see seasonal biweekly pickup, which they said would have quelled fears of stinking garbage piling up in the summer months. Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from the landfill, Weir said. That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to around 54 per cent. But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said

Bloess, the councillor for Innes Ward. The city will never be able to achieve that diversion target until it tackles the “ICI sector” – industrial, commercial and institutional organizations, Bloess said. The city is currently only focusing on residential waste collection and has yet to roll out the greenbin program to apartment buildings before ICI collection is even considered. Weir said city staff expect to hit the goal of a 60 per cent diversion rate by the end of this new waste contract, which will be in 2016. The new web tool will also make it possible to add solid waste collection data to the city’s open data catalogue, which people can use for research or to development web or mobile applications.

JUDE Bryce A. Lorne Cassidy Student

After having fought an almost 3 year courageous battle against Ph+ leukemia, at the tender age of 7 Bryce Janney Jude earned his wings, early in the morning on Friday, September 7, 2012 peacefully at Rogers House with his family by his side. Beloved son of Dev and Steve Jude and much loved “2 times” big brother to Mason and Colby. Cherished and adored by “Nana Jen” (Jenny Nicholls) and “Mimi and Poppa” (Donna and Doug Jude). Bryce will also be forever remembered by his Auntie April, Uncle Eric, cousins Alyssa and Taylor and by his whole extended family and friends. Bryce was a sports fanatic – you name it, he played it and loved it...hockey, football, soccer, baseball golf, the list goes on. He also had a passion for fishing, playing cards, board games and lots of Wii and Xbox! Our entire family wants to extend a huge thanks to EVERYONE involved in supporting and caring for Bryce and our family these past 3 years. Family, friends, neighbours, A. Lorne Cassidy elementary school, Stittsville community, all the amazing staff at CHEO, Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, both the Ottawa and Toronto Ronald McDonald Houses and finally, the compassionate team at Rogers House. A service celebrating Bryce’s life was held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean (between Bayshore Dr. and Baseline Rd.) on Sunday, September 16th, 2012 “Outdoor Chapel” (weather permitting) at 2:00 pm., children also welcome. Since Bryce was THE biggest Ottawa Senators fan, we ask that you do not wear black but instead, wear a hockey jersey (no Toronto Leafs!), or something red. In Lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Candlelighters, Ronald McDonald House or Rogers House. Condolences, tributes or donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.

Her father Sang said that if the doctors had not discovered the problem as quickly as they did they would have lost her. The prognosis for Emma is good these days but doctors are careful not to take her condition lightly. “The whole family got a ton of support,” said Sang. “We found the doctors and nurses took the time to explain everything.” Only 63,000 CHEO lottery tickets will be sold this year and because it has sold out in previous years, organizers are encouraging everyone to purchase early.

EMC news - It is all about helping children and their families. The launch of the 2012 CHEO’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery marked the 22nd time a community of builders and Ottawa residents came together to support their favourite hospital, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. On Sept. 17, the 424-squaremetre Minto Dream Home at 110 Gray Willow Pl. near Manotick welcomed the public and showed why it is such a wonderful lottery prize. The grand prize is worth $1.6 million and includes a furnished and decorated Minto Dream Home with all the furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, $100,000 in cash, along with a 2013 Lincoln. Topping that off is house cleaning for a year from The Maids Home Services, and

for me, and it happens all the time, is to be out in the community and be approached by people who talk to me about the impact that CHEO has had on them and their families,” he said. “I hear those stories from parents and their kids. I also hear those stories from adults about themselves 10 to 20 and 35 years ago. It is a reminder of what CHEO is all about. The premise and promise of CHEO is the future,” he said. “Over the last 30 to 40 years our survival rate for cancer has gone to over 80 per cent,” said Munter. “When Terry Fox started his marathon, most kids struck by cancer would sadly die. Today over 80 per cent will survive. We are working towards 100 per cent. That high survival rate of 80 per cent is because of research that has happened at CHEO and other hospitals like CHEO,” he said. Munter said that without the support of communities and

There is even a television in the spacious shower, barn board walls, and a putting green in the back yard as well as a clever and stylish entertainment centre in the basement. Launching this year’s Dream House Lottery was news anchor Graham Richardson. “I appreciate the television in the shower,” he said to a packed room at the dream house. Richardson said that there were so many touching stories at CHEO. Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO, said, “The CHEO Foundation really is the embodiment of the support and passion that this community has for its children’s hospital. “I have been the CEO for almost a year now and one of the most impactful experiences

Coalition calls for closure of new trades college Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Jon Lajoie is a general contractor from Carp. He’s been one for a number of years now, and has hired a lot of tradesworkers: electricians, plumbers, whoever has a special skill he needs to complete the job. Suffice it to say Lajoie knows a lot of people in the trades. And yet he’s never heard of the Ontario College of Trades, or of the fees it will soon request or impose on workers in 157 trades in the province, everyone from electricians and plumbers to hairdressers and more. It could mean between $50 and $200 a year in most cases. Not a lot, according to Lajoie. But considering he can’t figure out what need the college fills and didn’t even know it came into being recently, he

suspects the worst. “Sounds like more like a money grab,” Lajoie said. “Tradespeople already do five years of schooling; they’re part of a (quasi) union already.” Yet the College of Trades, much like the Ontario College of Physicians and numerous other industry-sponsored organizations, insists the membership fees will be voluntary for the vast majority. It intends to convince tradespeople that belonging to the college will bring legitimacy and greater appeal. However, convincing lone general contractors and others that membership fees will be put to good use is the least of the fledging college’s concerns at the moment. Last week the Ottawa Construction Association (OCA) issued a news release urging the Liberal government to shut down the college, due to open in January, for fear it will mirror Quebec’s construction indus-

try. “We look at Quebec’s 100-per cent-regulated construction market and we’re deeply concerned about the impacts of increased trade worker and industry regulation,” said Dean Drevniok, OCA chair. “This is going to cause a significant regulatory burden, decreased productivity due to strict scope of work definitions, the increased cost of construction and the increased incentive for work to be performed in the underground economy.” OCA and 17 other organizations across Ontario have united against the college, forming a campaign that includes the website stopthetradestax.ca. OCA president and general manager John DeVries has no qualms calling the fee a tax, and fully expects added regulations and administration costs associated with running the college will drive up costs for construction industry costumers.

“Over regulation drives up cost, there’s no way around it,” DeVries said. “It also drives the work underground.” He added that compulsory certification of painting and drywalling will mean that companies who have been in business for years will be forced to shut down, forcing valuable people out of skilled trades. The chairman of the board of directors at the college, Ron Johnson, dismisses most of the concerns as “absurd.” He said the OCA’s claim of “an $84 million tax grab” is incorrect; the college will take in between $17- and $20-million the first year, and $30 million when fully up and running. Of the 157 trades, he added, just 22 will be compulsory. Johnson said it will be trades people, not government, who will establish training and certification when the college is in operation. “I’m a little surprised to

hear the Ottawa Construction Association has more faith in government than their own industry,” Johnson said. He dismissed concerns over a lack of transparency regarding the college’s spending, saying a large portion will go to promoting the trades as a lucrative and fulfilling career; better for some than spending on a university degree that often leads to joblessness. Johnson hopes the college will help restore integrity to the industry; scam-busters such as Mike Holmes seems to find con artists with ease. “There will be less for customers to complain about, with any luck,” he said. He’s not making any promises when it comes to the long-standing beef Ontario workers have with Quebec tradespeople, such as complaints that Quebec’s highly-regulated industry all but blocks Ontarians from working on the Gatineau side

of the river, while Quebecers regularly score contracts on the Ottawa side. “There’s not much we can do about interprovincial issues,” he said. “We’re certainly not going to follow the Quebec model. The Quebec model is flawed.” He laughs at the notion of tradespeople passing along a $100 annual fee to customers. “It’s an absurd argument,” Johnson said. He added that greater oversight and regulation will reduce the amount of work going underground, not increase it. And it will protect consumers, not burden them. As for Lajoie? He’s waiting to see how it all shakes out before he starts to worry about the effects on him. But he remains convinced that when a business person is saddled with extra costs, those costs have to paid by someone. “It always boils down in the end to the user’s going to pay.” R0011622774-0920

The game rewards players who keep their head up, who control the ball, who support their team mates and who use one and two touch combination play to work with team mates.

City website going open source Flexible platform should prevent swimmng registration backlogs Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Error screens and backlogs during swimming registration on the

cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website could be a thing of the past thanks to a new platform for ottawa.ca. The city is launching the full new version of ottawa.ca on Nov. 19 and the site will

be built on an open-source platform called Drupal. The content management system is more flexible, so it will enable the city to â&#x20AC;&#x153;scale upâ&#x20AC;? the capacity of the website to respond to peaks in demand, such as during online recreation registration that so often leaves frustrated parents refreshing their Internet browsers, information

technology subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said. Ottawa will become one of the largest Canadian cities to use open-source technology, joining the likes of the White House, Statistics Canada, the Department of National Defence and Transport Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the new gold stan-

dard,â&#x20AC;? said Tierney, the councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward. Since open source technology relies on a community of people to develop and share tools, Ottawa is well positioned because so many federal departments based in the city are already using Drupal. In addition to making the

site more flexible and able to respond to the needs of both the city and users, the other benefits will be a reduction in licensing maintenance costs. The new ottawa.ca site will come with a mobile version, which is built-in with Drupal. There will also be an option to personalize the website for individual users; for instance, you could create a profile with services you use on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and personalize the features that show up when you log in to ottawa.ca.

Aries, your goals are easily achieved this week. All you really need to do is set your mind to them and everything will fall into place along the way. Taurus, you may feel rushed by outside pressures, but it really is up to you to set your own pace. Everything will get done if you just relax. Those closest to you need a little space and respect, Gemini. Just give them what they need and all will go smoothly. Wednesday could be a trying day. Cancer, you may need to act quickly before things start moving in the wrong direction. You have to take control and make sure things are on the right course.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

African tribe 32. No. Irish borough & bay 33. French Chateau Royal

Leo, you can have fun doing just about anything this week. You have lots of energy, so maybe something physical will fit the bill. Grab a crowd and go to it. Virgo, things have not been going your way, but that is no reason to be disappointed. You will soon find a way to bounce back and get back on track.

Last week’s answers

Libra, this week you have the uncanny ability to impress people in one-on-one conversation. Start by focusing all of your energy on one particular relationship. Scorpio, it’s time to assess your health and make a few changes for the better. It’s within reason to change your diet and exercise more often. It will be to your advantage. Sagittarius, you will find you’re incredibly efficient this week, both at home and at work. If you have time left over, you may want to help a coworker or family member. Capricorn, both work and family issues are on your mind, but you can only tackle one set of concerns at a time. Figure out which one is a priority and set your wheels in motion. Aquarius, you are likely to feel amazing this week, so much so that you actually do a double-take in the mirror to make sure it’s you looking back. Savor every moment. Pisces, you may have some trouble figuring out what is real and what’s a facade this week. Others can provide backup if you need it.
