Greely and area residents are encouraging the city to think outside the bin, as stated during a public waste collection consultation meeting on Jan. 12. The meeting – held at the Greely Community Centre – was meant to allow citizens the chance to voice their concerns about the Solid Waste Service Level Review before the city’s contract expires 2012, however many of the 40 people in attendance questioned the its commitment to the green-bin program. Most of those who attended the gathering peppered city staff with comments regarding the cost of the bins and the impracticality of them in rural areas. “We’re paying for green bins even when we don’t have them or want them,” said Edwards resident Jim Poushinsky. “Most of us have outdoor composters. We compost our own vegetative matter. “It’s important to have the recycling and the regular garbage pickup, but the green-bin thing is really a problem.” Poushinsky went on to question the city’s 20-year, $350-million contract with Orgaworld – calling it a “nightmare.” See ‘Green’ on page 3

Events take place Jan. 27 to 30 EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Residents have until Jan. 22 to buy their tickets for the Greely Winter Carnival’s newest event, a comedy and karaoke night which promises to be a laugh and a half. The Greely community association added the comedy night to its roster of events to offer more entertainment for Greely’s adult crowd throughout the carnival weekend running Jan. 27 to 30. “We have the kiddie night, we have the Idol night and the breakfast, but usually the adults are just entertained with a band. It was an idea that someone else had and I liked it very much,” said community association president Bruce Brayman, adding that residents have been enthusiastic about the plans. “I mean, how often do you get comedy in Greely?” The comedy and karaoke night on Sat. Jan 29 will feature a number of Absolute Comedy comedians including Montreal celebrity Mike Paterson, Brayman said. The 19-plus evening will begin at the Greely community centre with a roast beef buffet from AJ’s Catering, complete with a cash bar. The comedians will take

the stage for about an hour and a half, after which Brayman said residents can hit the mic for some karaoke. “It’s a good fill-in, because by 10 o’clock you’re already out, and you’ve had a few cocktails,” he laughed. Brayman wouldn’t comment on whether or not he would be showing off his singing skills throughout the night. Tickets for the dinner and show are $30 each, and must be purchased by Jan. 22 so the association can finalize dinner numbers. Tickets for the comedy night alone are $15. The show is part of the town’s four-day annual carnival, which Brayman said is timed on purpose to help people chase away the winter blues. “The idea is that it’s a community midwinter get-together. It’s to get everyone talking to each other, seeing each other, because you’ve been buried,” he said. The carnival includes a family skate, a Texas Holdem poker night, a “Teeny Bopper” dance, sleigh rides and a number of family activities. The main event is always Greely Idol, for which the winner receives recording time, a photo shoot and a gig at Greely’s Canada Day celebration, which is the second largest in Ottawa. Tickets for the comedy night can be purchased at the Farm State Insurance Office at 5832 Bank Street.

farmers to receive our high-quality compost,” he said. As for the meeting, Harley praised the city for allowing residents to have their say. “I think the city was responsible and brave to come out and consult with the public to help solicit input into what the public’s priorities are,” Harley said, adding that any change would have little or no impact on the way Orgaworld operates. “What was unfortunate was that a lot of those people perceiving these things as proposals.” The city is asking residents to chime in on the following ideas: going to a yearround weekly collection of green-bins instead of having it collected every second week in the winter (December to April); giving the same green-bin service to remote rural residents as others; having recycling boxes collected weekly as opposed to twice monthly; using one recycling box instead of separating materials into blue and black boxes; collecting garbage every second week and not weekly; moving to a monthly recycling collection from twice monthly in remote rural areas.

Orgaworld is the company that turns Ottawa’s green bin waste into compost and has a facility on Hawthorne Road, about 10 kilometres north of Greely. It charges the city more than $90 a tonne. Poushinsky was given participant status during a hearing to determine the types of material Orgaworld would be collecting last May. The chair of the Ottawa Citizens Against Pollution by Sewage said he’s disappointed with things like plastic bags, dog feces and diapers not being permitted at the site – which Orgaworld also lobbied for at the May 2010 meetings against the city. While Poushinsky said farmers are not keen on having compostable materials go to Orgaworld, the plant’s chair of public liaison management Dale Harley said that isn’t true. Harley said Orgaworld invested $50 million to build a plant to handle 80,000 tonnes annually – an amount he assumes will grow from the estimated 50,000 the city has said was given to the plant last year. “We’re capable of handling a lot more and welcome the opportunity to process a lot more because we have a waiting list of

across the city. Now 22, she sits on two committees at Volunteer Ottawa, acts as the vice-chairwoman of the Cancer Society’s Relay For Life communications committee, monitors Volunteer Ottawa’s social media sites, and constantly combs the agency’s volunteer database for even more opportunities she can pile onto her already loaded plate. She does all this, while working a 40hour week as a web design program coordinator at Algonquin College. Statistically speaking, the Wellington Village resident is just one volunteer in an age group with the highest volunteer participation in the city. Ottawa youth between the ages of 15 and 24 have the highest rate of volunteering of any age group, according to Volunteer Ottawa’s Jeff Bond, a surprising fact that could be tied to the mandatory 40 hours of volunteering Ontario students must complete to graduate high school. But Spragge is somewhat of an anomaly, one of the few who have made volunteering part of their everyday life. She donates about 12 hours a week to various organizations around the city – an accomplishment that is unmatched, and often considered unnecessary, by many of her peers. Young volunteers – many of whom feel forced to get involved to receive their diploma – are not sticking around for the long-term, either in their chosen volunteer activities or in their overall life plans. “What’s alarming is in the next age group we see an 18 per cent drop in volunteering, starting at 25 years old. It’s an alarming number, and we’re trying to find new ways to engage that age group,” Bond said, explaining that the 25 to 40 age group is likely focusing on finishing their education and starting careers and families, leaving little time for volunteering. Bond said this issue would be significantly improved if youth were more effectively taught that getting involved was important at any time, and not just when it’s convenient or required. “If we don’t instill at a young age the importance of community, it doesn’t become a lifestyle. If we don’t make it a lifestyle then it’s easy to put it aside,” Bond said. “The expectation should be that they have a responsibility to their com-

munity. We all play a role in that to create this society, and by giving back to your society it makes it a better place.” Volunteer Ottawa is currently preparing for a new youth volunteer program aimed at engaging, educating and collaborating with young people about the importance of getting involved, which is scheduled to start at the end of January. He said the youth-for-youth program aims to figure out how organizations can make a young person’s volunteer experience more attractive and rewarding, so they are more likely to stick with it throughout their life. “If we’re not leaving the youth with a very positive experience, if they’re coming away with the sense that they’re just doing their hours and it wasn’t a great experience, they won’t see the value,” Bond explained. Spragge said she would like to believe that her peers are interested in getting involved in the community, even if it’s for selfish reasons such as padding their resumes and networking for future job opportunities. “Even if you’re looking for a false sense of power, you’re still helping someone in the end. If you’re just trying to boost your resume, someone will still get helped,” she said. “There’s obviously an element of trying to make yourself look better. There definitely are some pieces that can be perceived as selfish. But I’d like to believe that in the end our society thinks for the greater good.” She noted that there are so many options out there, that volunteering can be quite flexible no matter how busy a person is. “I think people forget that you don’t have to go to an organization to do these things. You can do a third party fundraiser, you can host a murder mystery party and charge your friends $10 to have a good night, and then donate that money to someone else,” she explained. “There’s ways that you don’t have to feel like you’re tied down to a commitment.” Bond said he believes with more education, both in the classroom and at home, youth will become the engaged citizens the city needs them to be, for the rest of their lives. “Our philosophy is that youth engagement is like financial investments. You only reap the benefits tomorrow if you invest today,” he said.

Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week - JANUARY 20 2011

While showing off a shiny new set of solar panels atop the roof of city hall, Ottawa announced a partnership that will see more panels added to city buildings. The partnership with Hydro Ottawa, which will bear the cost of installing the panels, will net the city $4 to $5 million over a 20-year period. The city’s environment committee was set to discuss the idea this week, which would put solar panels on 20 buildings across the city. Some of the proposed buildings include the Nepean Sportsplex, Kanata Recreation Complex, Osgoode Arena and Community Centre, Fred G. Barrett Arena on Leitrim Road, Bernard Grandmaitre Arena in Vanier and Jim Durrell Recreation Complex in Heron Gate, The entire project could solar panel installations that would produce up to 40 kilowatts and 330 kilowatts of electricity, which could provide enough electricity to power 300 homes. “We can do these projects that are tangible and in an environmentally sustainable way,” said River Ward councillor and envi-

ronment committee chair Maria McRae. The 20 new projects would be at no cost to the city, McRae said. Hydro Ottawa would lease the rooftops from the city and pay for the cost of installing the panels. FIT PROGRAM But that doesn’t mean taxpayers are off the hook. The new revenue will come from the Province of Ontario’s feed-in tariff (FIT) and MicroFIT programs, which set a premium rate for “green” energy. The province will pay anywhere from 53.9 cents to 80.2 cents per kilowatt hour of solar electricity for projects approved under the programs. The inflated rate is meant to encourage investment in solar technology and diversify the types of electricity feeding into the province’s power grid. The proposed new projects still need to be approved by the environment committee and council, as well as the Ontario Power Authority, said Rosemarie Leclair, president and chief executive officer of Hydro Ottawa. She said five of the projects could be operational by 2012,

seven projects in 2013 and eight more in 2014. CITY HALL GOES SOLAR Two projects are already leading the way for what McRae hopes will become a larger push to generate solar electricity in Ottawa. As part of a different project, Ottawa has recently finished installing solar panels in the roof of city hall, as well as the OC Transpo facility on Belfast Road. The 48 panels on the roof of city hall will generate 10 kilowatt hours of electricity – enough to power the equivalent 1.2 homes. In contrast to the proposed 20 new solar projects, these two projects are funded and operated by the city. They were approved in last year’s city budget and cost $220,000. Most of that cost should be recovered in 10 years, McRae. Those solar panels will generate $150,000 annually over a 20year contract. The city also approved a new 12-megawatt solar park at the Trail Road waste facility last May. That site will generate enough power for 1,500 homes, and construction will start this year, Leclair said.

City staff worked around the clock to fix the damage caused by the water main break on Woodroffe to open up the northbound lanes for Barrhaven commuters on Jan. 10. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the water main break on Woodroffe Avenue may have been caused by the temperature change. “Staff have said that they will be excavating to determine the exact cause,” he said. The break, which happened at 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 14, reduced water pressure to 11,000 homes and backed up traffic for the morning commute. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the break was in the worst possible area, as it would mean all the buses on the southwest transitway would have to be rerouted. “There are 75,000 residents in Barrhaven and most of them work north of there,” she said. “Woodroffe is usually jammed under good circumstances, so this is chaos.” Harder said she was alerted of the break at 5 a.m. and managed to get onto CFRA at 8:30 to ask residents to come in later or work from home to alleviate

some of the traffic, but she feels it was already too late. “People would have been busy with their morning routines by then,” she said. Residents of Barrhaven and Riverside South were without water in the early hours of the morning, but service had been restored to most homes by approximately 7 a.m. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said that service had been partially restored to Tanglewood residents — the area just adjacent to the break — but city staff were asking people to be careful about their usage. Egli said a city works van that responded to the initial break went through the pavement near the area of the break. “City staff believe the road collapsed because the break and water coming out the pipe,” Egli said. “The good news story is that all four workers were fine.” Manordale resident Larry Widdifield said his wife and daughter had to navigate Greenbank Road on the morning of the break and the traffic was “atrocious.” The southbound lanes of Woodroffe remained closed on Jan. 18 and 19 as crews continued work on the water main.

STAFF A 20-year-old Ottawa man was arrested and faces multiple charges and fines after 97 cases of contraband cigarettes were found in Manotick on Jan. 7. The RCMP “A” Division Customs and Excise Section executed a search warrant as part of Project Alcove and found the drugs at a storage facility, located at 4241 Barnsdale Rd. The cigarettes were seized as well as a 1999 GMC Sonoma truck. “Organized crime is extensively involved in the illicit tobacco market,” RCMP Sgt. Denis Tessier said in a press release. “The profits from illicit tobacco are used to fund other illicit activities, such as drug and firearms smuggling, which threaten the health and safety of our communities.” The 20-year-old Ottawa male was arrested and faces charges under the Excise Act, 2001 and a minimum fine of $150,000 to a maximum fine of $255,000 in connection with the incident. He will appear in court on April 6.

On Jan. 12, the Business Services Committee approved the OttawaCarleton District School Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for a new elementary school in Chapman Mills and an addition to Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South for 2012, and new elementary schools in Findlay Creek by 2014 and in south Barrhaven in 2015. The plans where part of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital priorities from 2011 to 2015. The revised recommendation will go to board of trustees on Jan. 25 for ratification and submission to the province on Jan. 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no indication that the recommendations wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ratified as approved,â&#x20AC;? Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode Township/GloucesterSouth Nepean school trustee Mark Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the board approves it, we need to work collectively with the Province of Ontario to ensure that they understand the need â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly in Zone 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and across the city in making that we get an appropriate allocation of funds to move these projects forward.â&#x20AC;? The plans were part of a $149-million, city-wide wish list, Fisher confirmed. Fisher said a new elementary school in south Barrhaven would likely cost $14.1 million, the Findlay Creek project would run for $14

million, the Chapman Mills building would be $13.7 million and the new permanent addition to Steve MacLean is estimated to be $6.7 million. Since Barrhaven is one of the fasting-growing communities in Canada, overcrowding was starting to make the experience children were having in the classroom less enjoyable, Fisher said. As a result, Chapman Mills was made a priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite pleased with identification of Chapman Mills in terms of a first project to move forward on,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; moving forward over the next year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; looking to balance enrolments better across Barrhaven-area schools because of overcrowding at a number of schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unacceptable for us to be putting in 12, 13, 14 portables in our schools.â&#x20AC;? As part of a forthcoming review process, a boundary will be developed to prevent overcrowding at the new Chapman Mills school, Fisher said. After that school is built, Fisher believes another school in south Nepean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; potentially Half Moon Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be needed almost immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chapman Mills, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built, I suspect will be at or near its capacity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how fast this community is growing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to keep up with the pace of development in this area.â&#x20AC;?

Barrhaven residents willing to change garbage habits While the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste management review was met with much criticism in Greely, those in the Barrhaven area were more receptive to potential change. The city held an open house-style forum at the Walter Baker Sports Centre on Jan. 13 where residents were able view potential future pickup options like going to a year-round weekly collection of greenbins, collecting garbage every second week and not weekly, and having both recycling boxes collected weekly. The meeting was meant to allow citizens the chance to voice their concerns about the Solid Waste Service Level Review before the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract expires 2012. Most residents asked said they were fine with whatever changes the city makes, as long as they are notified and their waste is collected. Barrhaven resident Richard Fleming praised the city for taking some initiative for planning ahead. He said he hopes it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get stuck with another contract like the 20-year, $350-million contract signed with Orgaworld â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the company that turns Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green bin waste into compost. Fleming said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the green-bin program because he composts and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the smell in his house, but added that he has gotten used to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess my problem with the green bin is the smell and potential for infestation in the summer months,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not prepared to buy a freezer to throw stuff in.â&#x20AC;? Fleming added that while he likes the idea of increased recycling, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be charged for putting out additional bags if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a huge basement cleanup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider this a service and we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be paying extra because some weeks you have more and some weeks you have none,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rick Chiarelli was just one of the local councillors in attendance. He believes the city should do its best to listen to the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; con-

cerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rid of weekly pick up until the public tells us to,â&#x20AC;? the College councillor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think they will tell us too soon.â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said having a garbage pickup every second week and collecting both recycling boxes weekly will allow the city to save money by avoiding starting another landfill, which can cost upwards of $500 million. While Chiarelli admitted not liking the green bins because they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;annoying to use,â&#x20AC;? he knows they are worth it in the end, especially if the city ever moves to incinerating garbage like some citizens want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross the incineration island if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross the green-bin bridge,â&#x20AC;? he said. 442475-03-11

Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week - JANUARY 20 2011

OPINION

Spirit of volunteering isn’t dead Canadians are often known for their generosity, but it might be a reputation that’s slowly sliding. According to National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, between 1997 and 2000 the number of adult Canadians volunteering fell from 31 per cent to 27 per cent. Locally, Volunteer Ottawa has seen an “alarming” drop in participation from those aged 24 to 40. That particular demographic sees an 18 per cent drop in volunteers. Youth, meanwhile, are putting in their required hours, if for no other reason than to earn their high school diploma. And a quick glance at any volunteer-run organization will show that a lot of retired people have found something altruistic to do with their time. But that missing demographic in the middle is raising a red flag locally. That’s why Volunteer Ottawa is looking for new ways to get people over 25 years old back to volunteering. Those are important lessons, but that alone won’t swell the ranks of volunteers from that middle demographic. This isn’t about the spirit of volunteerism dying. People understand the importance of helping. The problem is probably one of timing.

That missing demographic is struggling with juggling the demands of their career, ferrying children to and from a myriad of activities, all while often caring for aging parents. The postmodern world is a bit of a pressure cooker when it comes to time management. With so many competing priorities, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there’s a gap, at least in formal volunteering. After all, we cannot forget those little extras parents do that might go unnoticed. Those numerous walk-a-thons around the city are packed with families, for example, but it’s hard to measure that kind of informal participation. And then there are those who choose to donate money because they can’t give of their time. The United Way certainly isn’t raising millions from youth and seniors alone. People want to help, and many do, just in varying ways. As for instilling a sense of community in youth, that’s a laudable goal everyone – parents, teachers and associations – should work toward. It’s that legacy that will see these youth help where they can during their working years, and then return to volunteer when the kids get a little older.

COLUMN

Welcome to the new, cheery Canada I must have missed the big announcement, so I was more than a little surprised to see the sign greeting us when we walked into Canada Customs and Immigration at the airport. “Hi. Step in to Canada,” it said. Hi? Since when does the Government of Canada say “hi” to people? Isn’t that a little … well, breezy? Particularly for a government of a country known for its reserve. And particularly at Immigration. After all, this is where a visitor from another land makes his first acquaintance with our country. So you’d think the sign would be more formal, more august somehow. This is a serious business, coming to Canada, with immigration officers glowering at you and demanding that you show good reason for deigning to enter. Or so we thought. Obviously, somebody decided it should be less so. Rather than saying “Welcome to Canada. Stay in line,” the signs say: “Hi. Step in to Canada.” It’s actually quite a nice greeting, when you’re coming back from a stay in another country and feeling glad to be home. But it’s a bit of a shock. Just like finding out, when you open the hometown newspaper, that reusable bags, the kind we have been urged to, um, reuse, may pose perils that we have never considered. Usually, we think of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town this as a very cautious place, not flinging around cheery welcomes or taking chances with reusable bags. When we travel, people ask us what Canadians are like. Are they like Americans? Well, sort of, we reply. We sound more or less the same. We eat the same kind of food, watch the same kind of movies, listen to the same kinds of music. There’s hockey, of course. That makes us different. And we might be a little less informal. We wouldn’t be the kind of people who put up a sign saying “Hi!” at the airport. Except that apparently we are. How this came to be is a mystery. If there was a big discussion about it, about whether signs should say “hi” at airports instead of “please wipe your feet and try not to raise your voice” we missed it somehow. Perhaps we were out of the country when Parliament debated that.

Somehow no one was talking about it when we returned, and no one was talking about the big competition run by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to come up with a new slogan to greet people at international airports. This being Canada, we couldn’t have changed the sign without a competition. These might have been some of the losing entries: “Welcome to Canada. No smoking anywhere.” “Hi. Please don’t use plastic bags and the reusable ones aren’t so great either.” “Welcome to Canada. No joking with the Immigration officers.” “Hi. Newspapers in the black box, tin cans in the blue box, food scraps in the green.” “Hi. Please remove overshoes before stepping in to Canada.” “Enjoy your stay and be sure to check out our anti-idling bylaws.” Well, we know now what the winner was. The next step is to consider the implications. Are we, as Canadians, ready to become the gregarious, hi-saying folks implied by the sign? Must we now talk to each other in elevators? Can we leave our overshoes on? Will it now be against the law to say

“Good afternoon”? May we now wear baseball caps inside the house? May our children address their teachers by their first names? Will fistbumps replace handshakes at diplomatic receptions? And, finally, how does all this affect the reusable bag situation? Words have consequences, as we learn every day. The government has apparently decided to be chummy with Canadians. Exactly how chummy we’ll learn around income tax time. We can’t wait for the letter. “Hi,” it will say. “Step in to the tax audit.”

Comeback over Gloucester gives Raiders 1-1 week DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Things didn’t look good for the Nepean Raiders after the first period of their Central Canada Hockey League game against the Gloucester Rangers on Jan. 16. With the home team trailing 4-1, the odds appeared likely that the Raiders would fall four points behind the Rangers for second place in the Yzerman Division. But centre Brent Norris scored 18 sec-

onds into the second period – his second of the three in the game, giving him 29 on the season – sparking a Raiders comeback in what would be a 6-5 shoot-out win. Keenan Hodgson and Zach Carriveau also scored for the Raiders, while Norris had the winner in the shootout. Bellmaur, N.J. native Buddy Robinson had two assists in his second game for Nepean. Dan Altshuller earned the win with 31 saves, helping Raiders pull into a tie with Gloucester for fourth overall in league standings. Both teams have 50 points in 45 games. The win over Gloucester helped Nepean rebound from a 4-1 road loss to the Carleton Place Canadians on Jan. 14. Carriveau scored the team’s lone goal, while former Stittsville Royal and South Grenville Ranger (Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League) Matthew McCaughan made 39 saves in his first start as a Raider. Next up for Nepean (21-16-8) is a rematch against the Gloucester Rangers on Jan. 21 followed up by home contest against the Kanata Stallions on Jan. 23.

Nothing is more important to me than planning my family’s future.

The Yzerman Division exacted some revenge with a 10-3 win over the Robinson Division in the Central Canada Hockey League Prospects Game at the Hawkesbury Sportsplex on Jan. 15. The victory came on the heels of a 3-2 loss to the Robinson team in the league’s All-Star Classic on Jan. 12. Leading the Yzerman team’s attack in the game for first- and second-year players was Gloucester Rangers forward Nathan Pancel with one goal and two assists. Keenan Hodgson of the Nepean Raiders also scored twice, while Matthew Boudens and Chris King, Pembroke Lum-

ber Kings; Dalen Hedges and Carl Faucher, Ottawa Jr. Senators; Curtis Meighan, Cumberland Grads; Spenser Cobbold, Kanata Stallions; and Brandon Watt, Nepean added singles. Connor Primeau, Cornwall Colts; Brandon Lesway, Kemptville 73’s; and Alexandre Gendron, Hawkesbury Hawks responded for the Robinson Division. Raiders goaltender Dan Altshuller got the start for the Yzerman team and was credited with the win, stopping 15 of 16 shots before being relieved by Jamie Phillips of the Pembroke midway through the game. Kemptville’s Keinan Brown took the loss after allowing six goals on 17 shots. Hawkesbury’s Dylan Brind’Amour gave up four goals on 18 shots.

Robinson team downs Yzerman squad in CCHL all-star game DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Considering Alex Brenton wasn’t even supposed to play in the Central Canada Hockey League All-Star Classic, he had quite the showing at the Bell Sportsplex in Kanata on Jan. 12. The Kemptville 73’s right winger was not named to the 21-player Robinson Division roster on Dec. 21. Instead, he and Smiths Falls Bears winger Matt Robertson were chosen to fill in for Carleton Place Canadians winger Tyler Kotlarz and Cornwall Colts forward Kevin Cole. But even with the original slight, Brenton netted all of the Robinson team’s goals – including two in the third period – in a 3-2 win over the Yzerman Division. Brenton’s final tally came with 48 seconds remaining. Carleton Place Canadians centre Ryan Lowe assisted on two of Brenton’s markers.

Nepean Raiders defenceman Ryan Johnston suited up for the Yzerman Division team on Jan. 12.

Brenton’s first goal of the game allowed the Robinson all-stars to take a 1-0 lead into the intermission. But Pembroke Lumber Kings forwards Matthew Peca and Brandon Gagne responded in the second period to put the Yzerman all-stars ahead before Brenton’s third-period heriocs. Both Kings had two points. Gagne, teammate Ted Pletsch and Nepean Raiders captain Craig Cowie replaced Pembroke’s Jonathan Milley, Cumberland Grads captain Michael Borkowski and Gloucester Rangers centre Andrew Creppin in the game. Justin Gilbert of the Brockville Braves earned the victory for the Robinson stars. He entered the game at the midway point of the second period and surrendered two goals on 15 shots after relieving Pete Karvouniaris of the Colts. Kanata Stallions netminder Scott Shackell was credited with the loss. He stopped 21 of 23 shots after taking over

from Alex Chretien at the same point as Robinson team switched goalies. The Bears goalie, Chretien, turned aside 15 pucks while allowing one goal against. Brenton and Peca took home respective player of the game honours. The Robinson Division consists of the Cornwall Colts, Brockville Braves, Carleton Place Canadians, Smiths Falls Bears, Kemptville 73’s and Hawkesbury Hawks. The Yzerman Division is made up of the Pembroke Lumber Kings, Gloucester Rangers, Nepean Raiders, Kanata Stallions, Ottawa Jr. Senators and Cumberland Grads. NOTES: The Central Hockey League changed its name to the Central Canada Hockey League on Jan. 14 to avoid confusion with Canadian Hockey League, which is the parent league of the Western Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League.

Barrhaven residents Grace Goodridge, Serena Thompson and Jayden Hoganson are all smiles after Girls Hockey Fest on Jan. 15.

Hitting the ice at Scotiabank JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Three hundred young women donned their skates and hit the ice at Scotiabank Place on Jan. 15 for the seventh annual Girls Hockey Fest. Carleton Ravens players and Ottawa Senators women’s hockey teams coached the young women — who play novice, atom and peewee. The girls started their day with tours and then hit the ice for drills and training. They also had an opportunity to learn from a video of their play. “At the end of the day we give out 15 prizes, it is a lot of fun,” David Johnstone, Scotiabank community relations manager for Kanata and Stittsville, said, adding that the snowfall didn’t seem to hurt the attendance for the event. All the girls went home with signed jerseys and a story to tell. Jayden Hoganson, a Barrhaven resident who plays for the Nepean peewee Wildcats, said she got into hockey because of her

brother. “I just really love it,” she said. “And it’s an amazing day to be able to come here (Scotiabank Place) and do the on-ice drills. Her teammate Grace Goodridge, also from Barrhaven, said she loves the fast pace of the sport. “Today is really fun because you get to hang out with your teammates and stuff.” Two-time Olympic gold medalist Vicky Sunohara had the same sentiment. She was one of the first Canadian women to compete playing hockey in the Olympics — taking away a silver medal from the 1998 winter games in Nagano. She was bit by the hockey bug at a young age, taking shots from her dad in the basement by age two. Sunohara said the event really highlights life skills and the focus on girls is why she has come back to talk for a second time. “There is still a focus on boys when it comes to hockey role models,” she said. “Events like this show the girls that the sport is for them too.”
