EX-ED OUT

Christian (Sisco) Williams used to spend hours playing basketball on outdoor courts throughout Barrhaven and in the gymnasium of Mother Teresa Catholic High School. So it’s perhaps only fitting that others will continue playing the game in his honour. The high school opened its inaugural 12-team Christian “Sisco” Williams Memorial Junior Boys’ Basketball Tournament on Jan. 10 to remember not only a great player, but more importantly, a great friend, said vice-principal John Pedari. “He was a young man who had so much charisma and charm that it’s hard not to recognize him,” he said. Williams died last June 22 when his Honda CRX crashed into a street-light pole on Claridge Avenue, just north of Strandherd Drive. He was 18 years old. The Grade 12 student’s death was just two days before his graduation ceremony. See ‘Tourney’, page 3

Mother Teresa drops tournament opener DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

While the Mother Teresa Titans got off to a rough start in their opening game of the inaugural Christian “Sisco” Williams Memorial Junior Boys’ Basketball Tournament on Jan. 10, slowly but surely they clawed their way back in the fourth quarter. Despite trailing by as many as 12 points to the Gloucester Gators after forward Hassan Dahir hit a threepointer in the third quarter, the Titans narrowed the gap to two in the final minute. Though their comeback ultimately fell short, ending in a 79-72 loss, their coach found some solace in the outcome. “My kids will always fight,” Mike Rowley said. “There’s no quit in them, but we have to execute.” A biggest key in the game was rebounding. The Gators dominated on the

boards – especially at the offensive end – where Rowley said his team was outrebounded by at least 20. “Our posts just did not come to play today,” Rowley said. “It was the difference in the game. When our guards score 56 of the 73 points, we should win that game. No question about it.” Guards Nathan Mekbib and Carl Ryhndress led the Titans in scoring with 23 and 15 points, respectively. Gators head coach Chris Fudge credited his players’ athleticism and energy as an integral part of the win. Five Gators scored in double figures including Waris Neyazi with 20, Haddan Alafifi with 16, Hassan Dahir and Muraad Hared with 14, and Yahye Mohamed with 11, Although three of their starters – Alafifi, Hared and Mokhtar Zehrani – fouled out, the Gators overcame the shortage of players. “We had a plan from the get-go and we had to stick with it,” Fudge said. “I asked a few guys coming off the bench to keep their composure and make smart decisions with the ball.

“It was a game that could have gone either way.” The Titans only started to chip away at the Gators’ lead once they switched to a full-court press on defence, which sped up the tempo of the game. While the change helped, the deficit proved to be too large. “Our first half, we let them drive to the hoop all day long,” Rowley said. The 12-team Feb. 10-12 tournament was named after the Mother Teresa Catholic High School basketball star, who died last June 22 when his Honda CRX crashed into a street-light pole on Claridge Avenue, just north of Strandherd Drive. He was 18 years old. The Grade 12 student’s death was just two days before his graduation ceremony. Rowley said the tournament had been in the works for over a year, but when Williams died it was appropriate to make the tournament a memorial event. The Titans reached the semifinal where they lost the rematch to the Gators 71-54. St. Patrick knocked off Gloucester 72-51 in the championship.

Christian ‘Sisco’ Williams’s No. 24 jersey hangs on the wall at Mother Teresa Catholic High School after it was retired in the fall. A tournament was held at the school from Feb. 10 to 12 in his honour.

Tourney helps healing process Continued from front “These are all of his closest friends who are here in their graduating year,” Pedari said. “It’s important as a healing process to remember him. He was well connected within the Nepean community and knew a lot of people – knew adults. He was well loved by parents and community groups that lived where he lived. I think it’s important for them to know he’ll still be remembered as well.” Junior boys’ basketball coach Mike Rowley mentioned the tournament had been in the works for over a year, but when Williams died it was appropriate to make the tournament a memorial event. The team also retired Williams’s No. 24 jersey in September and team players have been wearing black t-shirts during warmups with 24 inscribed over the heart. “I think he’d be really touched a bit

overwhelmed by it,” Pedari said, adding that Williams was also a key figure during the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims last November. “I think he’d be honoured, just the very fact that we’re talking about him… I think that would really impress him.” Like the six other people who died while attending Mother Teresa, Williams’s name is etched into memorial stone beside of the school. The stone reads: “Inner peace begins with a smile,” which is a quality Williams regularly displayed both on and off the court. “It’s a tribute to the school – and to the staff and the students who are here – for keeping his honour alive,” principal Mary Ellen Agnel said of the tournament. “He’s always going to be a big part of this Catholic community. “He’s gone but not forgotten.”

Two Barrhaven high schools get OCRI nod DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Barrhaven’s Betty Giffin was honoured with the City of Ottawa’a first City Builder Award on Feb. 9. She is pictured with Mayor Jim Watson (right) and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches.

City honours Betty Griffin’s work Continued from the front Now, more than 800 volunteers meet in 20 groups across Ottawa. The newest addition is a youth program, which got under way in six schools this year. Giffin said she hopes to have 14 more by the end of this year, and 40 by the end of

next year. Giffin acknowledged all the volunteers that make the group’s work possible. “We will continue to do this until we’re not needed,” she said. “That is my prayer every day. That cancer will be defeated and we’ll have to find a new home.”

Two Barrhaven high schools were nominated for an Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI) award on Feb. 9. Mother Teresa Catholic High School and Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School have been selected by OCRI in high school innovation category. Mother Teresa was selected based on five various entrepreneurship programs consisting of a trade partnership with a high school in Spain, selling products on the ecommerce website eBay, running the school’s tuck shop, a tax preparation practicum by accounting students done for those eligible for sales tax returns, and a learning partnership called the Entrepreneurial Adventure Program – which pairs students with a community business leader. Over 100 students from grades 9 to 12 have participated in the initiatives, which were started by business department teachers Sally Morency and Len Baldin. “It’s stuff that we do anyway,” Baldin said, noting he had never heard of the award until he stumbled across an application form. “It’s kind of neat to bring business studies to the forefront and get a little bit of recognition one way or another.

It’s quite the honour to be selected as a finalist.” Baldin is quick to point out that the students are the project managers and “run the show.” He also noted that the school will be starting a speed-texting competition to raise money for a local charity. “It’s something that the kids will be very engaged in,” Baldin said with a laugh, noting the irony of teachers encouraging students to be on their cell phones. Longfields-Davidson Heights was nominated based on their library’s E-Readers in the Classroom program. OCRI has a selection committee that decides on the nominees for the high school innovation award based the school’s efforts to “engage students in learning in an innovative and unique way.” The school’s initiative must fall within one of the five categories: technology, entrepreneurship, science and math, community outreach, or education delivery. The winner will be selected at the OCRI Awards gala on Apr. 7 at the Hilton Lac-Leamy. École secondaire publique De La Salle was the final nominee in the category. The annual event is seen as the premier awards event for the region’s business, research and academic community. There are 11 total categories.

The brush-covered field at Albion and Rideau Roads in Ottawa South may not look like much, but to businesses in the area it represents a lost chance to boost business this summer, which was supposed to mark the SuperEx’s first year in its new home. That dream has been quashed after the Central Canada Exhibition Association (CCEA)’s board of directors announced Feb. 3 that the SuperEx would be cancelled for the first time since World War Two, because the lot won’t have the necessary

infrastructure and services installed in time. Jean Larose, general manager of the popular Rideau Carleton Raceway located just up the street from the Ex’s lands, said he was expecting a spike this summer during the 122-year-old event. “For sure, if they had the Ex here it would be good for business everywhere in this section of the city,” he said, noting that, like everybody else, he’s disappointed. “But it’s their own decision, and if they don’t think they can do it then you have to respect that.” SuperEx president Mark Lamoureux said the decision to

cancel the event stemmed from a number of reasons, including the loss of their long-time location at Lansdowne Park, which is up for redevelopment this summer, and the lack of service hook-ups such as water, electricity and sewer on the new site. “As everyone’s aware we do own property on Albion Road, and the infrastructure to host the event will not be in place in time,” Lamoureux said, although he couldn’t disclose details about why those services were delayed. A development application between the CCEA and a local developer to build a large sportsplex on part of the CCEA’s Ot-

tawa South lands also expired last year because of difficulties securing service hook-ups with the city of Ottawa, among other issues. That development was meant to aid SuperEx in getting set up in time for the annual carnival, but the deal withered much like the battered rezoning signs still hanging around the property a year later. Although a nearby pub bartender said he doesn’t think the Ex would have added much business this summer, his neighbour George Saade who owns the Swiss Airport Inn Motel near Bank Street and Mitch Owens Drive said he was expecting a big boost from the event.

Staff scrambles to keep ahead of building boom LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A building boom is bearing down on Ottawa, leaving city scrambling to keep up. “I feel like Indiana Jones with a rock coming at me down the hall,” said city planner Arlene Gregoire, who explained the need for more building inspectors to the city’s planning committee on Feb. 8. The city handles approximately 7,600 building permits each year. That’s about 900 to 1,500 more than the department’s staff can handle, Gregoire said.

“I feel like Indiana Jones with a rock coming at me down the hall. ” Arlene Gregoire City Planner

“We have benefited from a construction boom,” she said, adding that increasing devel-

opment comes with increasing costs. The planning department is asking for the equivalent of an additional five staff members in the 2011 draft budget. Some of the overload will be handled by students as part of an internship training program, although a similar program was slammed in a 2010 auditor general’s report. The city’s auditor general reported 2,510 inspections were carried out from 2006 to 2008 by interns and summer students who didn’t have the proper credentials. Some of those inspec-

tions were credited to a qualified city inspector. City staff said the students will have the proper training and certifications this time around. “The program has been amended and the requirements that have been set out by the province will be adhered to,” Gregoire said. Students will be hired to make up the equivalent of about three full-time positions. The city will save approximately $176,000 in the planning department thanks to service innovation and efficiencies.

“It would be better business for sure, we’d have people coming over from the Ex, and more money we’d make,” Saade said, noting that when the carnival does finally arrive in 2012. “We’d make more money 100 per cent, and we need more life here, there’s nothing here. The city doesn’t help us out.” Lamoureux said the CCEA, which owns and operates SuperEx, plans to run SuperEx in its Ottawa South location in 2012. “Absolutely, we’ve made it quite clear that the CCEA is committed to continuing discussions with the city to help us move to our new home in the south end of Ottawa in 2012.”

Barrhaven Legion Branch 641 loses founding member STAFF On Feb. 10, Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton, honoured the memory of Jerome “Jerry” Jodoin in the House of Commons. He was a founding member of the Barrhaven Legion, Branch 641, and was known as a pillar in the community, Legion and without a doubt a pillar for Canada. “I rise today in the House to pay tribute to a special constituent of mine and World War II veteran, Mr. Jerome “Jerry” Jodoin whom, I note with great sadness, passed away this month at the age of 87,” Poilievre said. He died Feb. 1. “In addition to being a decorated seaman, he was also a husband and father, and was well known for his tenacious spirit and his ‘diamond blue eyes.’” Notably, when five Legionnaires decided to form the brand new Legion Branch 641, Jodoin, then 81, jumped in with both feet, said Poilievre. “People would say that it could not be done, but he got it done. He was a true comrade, friend and Canadian hero. “I stand here in Parliament to honour Jerome for his dedication to his family, his community and his country. Lest we forget, lest we forget.” Visit http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/commun/ml-fe/article-eng.asp?id=6566.

For those looking for something to do on Family Day, Watson’s Mill in Manotick is the place to be. The mill will be the site for free dropin genealogy activities on Feb. 21, where people can make a family tree “It’s just a way of breaking up the day a bit and letting families hang out together,” programming officer Cam Trueman said. To coincide with Heritage Day – a national recognition day which falls on the same date – those attending will be able to construct dams. This year’s theme for Heritage Day is historic architecture and landscapes.

Trueman said the activities will take between 45 minutes to an hour to complete and will be held in Dickinson House, across from the mill. “All of our activities happen inside the carriage shed,” Trueman said. “The mill is too cold right now.” On Feb. 18, the Mill will be running day camps because public-school students are off because of Professional Development Day. The camps will feature a host of winter activities like curling, broomball and crafts like ice sculptures. The cost of the Friday day-camp is $25 per child, with a $5 discount for those who have memberships to the mill. Trueman said he’s hopeful between 12 and 15 children will attend.

Students benefit from Big Hit Bursary JENNIFER MCINTOSH daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Algonquin students and residents rocked out to the musical stylings from Les Emmersen — the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Five Man Electrical Band on Feb. 12. The event, called a “Big Hit Bursary Dance” was held at Greenfield’s Pub in Barrhaven to raise money for a General Arts and Science bursary at the college. Emmerson hit the stage with three other members of the band, in a quartet dubbed “The Hit Men.” The event, which included dinner and a show, was the first in what Music Indus-

try Arts program coordinator Lou Di Millo said he hopes to be annual fundraiser to assist students. “Anything that helps the students is key,” he said, adding that he approached Emmerson about participating in the event because they are long-time friends. Di Millo said that they had worked on the event for awhile and due to the Music Industry Arts and other programs, a night of music and celebration seemed it’s appropriate. The event got off to a good start and organizers were sold out of the $40 dinner and show tickets — leaving only a few of the $20 show-only ones. “We have been really encouraged by the response,” Di Millo said. 448653

OPINION

No simple answer to getting along If anyone wanted to have an entertaining night out, they could try debating religion or the effect of multiculturalism in a tavern anywhere in the country. All you have to do is uncap the beer, and throw the question on the table. The argument about immigration and the supposed tearing apart of the Canadian social fabric would be up there with the question of which hockey franchise is the greatest of all time. Sports, like politics is a perfect breeding ground for debate and conflict but rarely agreement. We rise in the morning and go to sleep at night awash in news from all over the world. Most of that global information is threatening in nature. The impression created is that there are cultures that refuse to cooperate with western society and when they arrive in North America for whatever reason they will do their best not to integrate with our humble but successful system. The great fact about Canadian society is that we have the ability and inclination to embrace other cultures and people while somehow keeping hold of what we feel is innately ours. As a result, immigrants are able to adapt to a North American viewpoint without feeling their own roots are being threatened. Around the world

politicians and social observers have stated that multiculturalism in their particular country does not work — that immigrants arrive in a country only to set up their own small society as a home away from home. A closer look at the reasons people immigrate may explain why, in some cases, complete and healthy integration does not take place. The bottom line for most, if not all newcomers to Canada, is jobs, and the freedom and stability to enjoy them. Having a meaningful job and the rewards of achieving goals is a great way to keep discontent, frustration and, in the end, conflict to a minimum. Capitalism may not be the Holy Grail socialist thinkers are looking for but history shows that when capitalism is married to a democracy and dusted with just a pinch of socialism, a better deal is forged than in most other socialist and government models. Watching the upheaval in the Middle East, one cannot help but cheer as one country after another finds the courage to stand up for what are basic human rights — the right to live free and without fear. They too will have to find a model which incorporates a multi-cultural dynamic which recognizes one country overall but allows for individual freedom of expression.

COLUMN

A temporary (?) goodbye to SuperEx So there won’t be a SuperEx this year. The Central Canada Exhibition Association board made the decision and announced it last week. It has to do with the changes at Lansdowne Park and the unreadiness of the site the board owns out at Albion Road. There are a lot of people who hope that the announcement means what it says — that the Ex is having a temporary hiatus and will be back in 2012. And there are some people who are indifferent, because the Ex no longer means anything to them any more. Among the advantages cited for a move to new quarters away from the centre of the city is the added space that will allow the agricultural component of the Ex to be enhanced. Among the disadvantages is the distance for many city dwellers. While the Landsdowne Park site was controversial for many who lived nearby, the Ex profited from the amount of walk-by traffic. Reader comments on articles about the postponement are not always representative of public opinion, but it is worth noting the impression they generate that the Ex had become irrelevant to people’s lives, in the recreational as opposed to the agricultural sense. It’s hard to see

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town how the board can overcome this. Many years ago, before the Ex became the SuperEx, exhibitions were hot. They showed people things they had not seen before; they were where people went to see the latest. Last week’s Citizen story about the SuperEx was accompanied by a photo of an automobile race, a bunch of old-time cars whipping past the grandstand. Except that they were not old-time cars then, and the idea of them racing was fairly new. The grandstand show was where people went for music that they couldn’t see anywhere else, big-name acts that were only heard on the radio or on records. The grandstand show was a big deal. In another way, the midway was a big deal too. Sure, people complained about being ripped off by the games, but that

was part of growing up, and the noise and excitement of the place was a kick for children and teenagers. It is an understatement to say that things have changed. The expansion of news media and the Internet means that we know what’s new before it even hits the street. We can watch cars race, if we care, on YouTube. Kids can play games on their computers that are as exciting, to them, as anything available on the midway. Nutrition scolds have frightened us off the midway food. And the grandstand show was made irrelevant by music videos on TV, even before YouTube arrived. As a people we are a bit jaded. If we haven’t seen everything before, we think we have. The sense of wonder, the wow! factor that drew people to the Ex in years gone by has gone by. That, at least, is the pessimistic view, which has become the conventional one. It may not be completely right. Travel with some pre-schoolers out to the Experimental Farm and watch them check out the lambs and cows and rabbits and you will see that wonder does still exist in this world. Remember also that people still like to go out, particularly at summer’s end.

Not everyone is content to stay home playing video games and watching stuff on the Net. So there is hope for the Ex. Granted, it faces stiff competition. Other popular fairs have grown up in Valley towns. When the Ex was in its heyday, there was no ScotiaBank Place with its competing attractions. There was no National Arts Centre for much of the Ex’s early life. And, as noted, there were few of the electronic distractions in our homes. The Ex’s task is to figure out a way to make us say “wow!” again. It’s not easy in this world, but not impossible either.

Umpiring is not for the faint of heart LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com

Looking for a way to get back in the game? Are you even tempered, athletic and know a bit about softball? These qualities will help build the perfect foundation that the Eastern Ontario Umpires Association is seeking for spring umpire clinics in the Ottawa area. Barrhavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Herbst is a former player who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into umpiring until his early 40s. Now some 13 years later, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accredited Level 4 official and travels extensively for the sport. He is also the Zone 10 fast pitch umpire-in-chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my hobby,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy it and I can make a little extra money on the side.â&#x20AC;? There are about 50 to 60 umpires in the association that is governed by Softball Ontario. The Ottawa branch is seeking about 20 more officials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; men or women â&#x20AC;&#x201C;at least 18 years of age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have about five women who are umpires, and we could use more,â&#x20AC;? Herbst said. A level one clinic will be held for newcomers in April. Accredited umpires can then officiate slo-pitch or fastball games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth have a great opportunity to make this a summer job,â&#x20AC;? Herbst said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun way for them to earn extra moneyâ&#x20AC;Ś they can work as much or as little as they want.â&#x20AC;? Each umpire is added to a pool of officiates for the area that covers Renfrew, Lanark, Carleton, Ottawa, Prescott and Russell, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and LeedsGrenville. To become an umpire is not without a fee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be offset by the end of the first summer. Depending on the level of game, the official is paid between $35 and $45 per game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same rate for umpires behind plate or on the bases. The initial cost of $75 is for the day-long course. Rule

Herbst is helping to organize a spring umpire clinics in Zone 10 which covers Renfrew, Lanark, Carleton, Ottawa, Prescott and Russell, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and Leeds-Grenville. books are $10. Other annual costs required include the association fee of $35, the Softball Ontario fee of $100 which covers liability insurance, and equipment. To umpire slo-pitch, the fee for equipment would be about $200. This includes a shirt, hat, bag, counter, brush, pants, socks and running shoes. For fast pitch, the equipment fee is larger due to the need for a chest protector, athletic protector, helmet or facemask and shin pads. Visit www.softballontario.ca for a list of umpire clinics. A level one clinic will be held April 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the R.A. Centre on Riverside Drive.

Pro bull riders risk their necks to wow the crowd

NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Two brothers from the village of Edwards got the biggest cheers when they were introduced during Saturday night’s Professional Bull Riders (PBR) visit to Scotiabank Place. Shawn and Matt Fisher made their hometown debut in front of about 5,000 happy fans, some of whom donned cowboy hats for the evening. “I’ve got a lot of buddies from school here tonight,” 21-year-old Matt said following the event, adding that he and Shawn, 23, started riding horses at age two. “I always wanted to do this (bull riding),” Matt said. He rode his first bull just two years ago at a bull riding clinic in Quebec. Both brothers had only one ride on Saturday night, as neither managed to stay atop their bull for the eight seconds needed to qualify for the championship round and a shot at cash prizes. So do people think bull riders are crazy? “Most of the time,” Matt said with a smile. That goes for mom too. Matt said he and his brother had plenty of support from the crowd, “but our mom’s not here. “She’d rather watch us play hockey.” The Ottawa stop on the PBR tour was won by the only Australian among the night’s 30

Non-urgent patients get a boost in the MRI waiting game Nicolas Ruszkowski

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital It has been a year since an old friend, Ron Guirguis, left Ottawa for New York City. I’m thinking of him because he would have liked the announcement made last week by Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and new Champlain Local Health Integration Network CEO Alex Munter that the Ontario Government would invest $506,500 to increase access to MRI scans in Ottawa until March 31, 2011. Ron played football in high school and university, for a total of almost 6 years. The impact on his knees was terrible. While he remains active, he is limited in the kinds of sports he can undertake.

emergency, they are considered non-urgent, and they wait for MRI scans an average of 170 days, with some waiting as long as 220 days. 4,000 such patients await an MRI scan right now. For almost 3,000 of these patients, last week’s announcement represents a big relief. The funding will allow The Ottawa Hospital, The Queensway Carleton Hospital and the Montfort Hospital to make a signiﬁcant dent in region’s MRI waiting list. As Paula Doering, The Ottawa Hospital’s VicePresident, Clinical Programs responsible for Diagnostic Imaging said on behalf of the three hospitals, “staff have risen and accepted the challenge of picking up these necessary shifts. In addition to that, our radiologists have assured us that they will adjust their schedules to meet the increased volume and ensure timely reports are available.” The team effort builds on an increasingly aggressive approach to providing MRI services, with hospitals operating their scanners between 16 to 18 hours a day.

He plays touch football with a massive knee brace. He can no longer play hockey or skate. He takes on other activities knowing his knees may not withstand the effort.

Until 2008, the Champlain LHIN had the longest MRIs wait times in Ontario, up to 294 days. Since then, two new MRI machines have been added, for a total of 8, which has been a major factor in the region’s improved performance.

Others patients have an even harder time. Their knee, back, hip, ankle or other joint pain is chronic. Since they don’t, however, face a medical

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN AT THE OTTAWA ROADSHOW YESTERDAY! By Jason Delong

STAFF WRITER Yesterday at the Travelodge West, hundreds lined up to cash in antiques, collectibles, gold and jewejry at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow. The free event is in Ottawa all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visitor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbelievable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less than fifteen minutes I left with a check for $700. That stuff has been in my jewelry box and dresser for at least 20 years.” Another gentleman brought in an old Fender guitar his fathar had bought years ago. The man said, “Dad had less than fifty bucks in that guitar.” The Roadshow expert that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for

“IT’S UNBELIEVABLE, I BROUGHT IN SOME OLD COINS THAT HAD BEEN IN A LITTLE CIGAR BOX FOR YEARS AND SOME OLD HERRINGBONE NECKLACES—IN LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES I LEFT WITH A CHECK FOR $700.” $5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got another $150.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not ever y day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.”

Gold and silver pour into yesterday’s Roadshow due to highest prices in 40 years. markets are soaring,” says Archie Davis, a Roadshow representative. “Broken jewelry and gold and silver coins add up very quickly. I just finished working with a gentleman that had an old class ring, two bracelets and a handful of silver dollars. His check was for over $650.00. I would say that there were well over 100 people in here yesterday that sold their scrap gold.” The Roadshow continues today starting at 9am. The event is free and no appointment is needed. If you go to the Roadshow, you can cash-in your items for competitive prices. Roadshow representatives will be available to assess and purchase your items at the Travelodge West, this week through Saturday, in Ottawa.

Jeff Parsons, President of the Treasure Hunters Roadshow commented, “Lots of people have items that they know are valuable but just don’t know where to sell them. Old toys, trains, swords,guitars, pocket watches or just about anything old is valuable to collectors. These collectors are willing to pay big money for those items that they are looking for.” This week’s Roadshow is the best place to get connected with those collectors. The process is free and anyone can bring items down to the event. If the Roadshow experts find items that their collectors are interested in, offers will be made to purchase them. About 80% of the guests that attend the show end up selling one or more items at the event. Antiques and collectibles are not the only items the Roadshow is buying. “Gold and silver

Lacrosse player, 16, inspires city’s top athletes DAN PLOUFFE

Noah Hoselton, with a bit of help from his dad, Bob, organized a lacrosse camp in Nunavut in an attempt to help reduce the startling suicide rate amongst northern youth through sport. Noah, who also competed for Slovakia at the world field lacrosse championships, received a special recognition of athletic achievement honour from the Ottawa Sports Awards. many people have the chance to do that.” Slovakia placed 17th overall at the 30-team event, which was the top result amongst new entrants. Hobbled by a serious ongoing knee injury, Hoselton hopes he’ll get the chance to play in the worlds, which are held only every four years, some time again down the road. Hoselton also plans to return to Iqaluit for another camp next summer, and hopes to expand the idea to other northern communities in the future as well. “I never knew a sport could be more than just a sport really,” Hoselton notes. “I thought this would be a great idea to help the kids.” Also at the Sports Awards banquet, University of Ottawa Gee-Gees quarterback Brad Sinopoli and Olympic speedskater Kristina Groves were honoured as male and female athletes-of-the-year.

It was a room full of 400 of Ottawa’s best sportspeople and Noah Hoselton was one of the youngest there, but the Grade 11 South Carleton High School student stood out as a role model nonetheless at the Ottawa Sports Awards dinner on Jan. 19 at Algonquin College. Inspired by a Youtube video that suggested involvement in sport could help reduce the alarming suicide rate of youths in the north, Hoselton received a “special recognition of athletic achievement” award for spearheading a lacrosse camp in Nunavut. “I didn’t do the Iqaluit thing for publicity or anything. I just did it because I thought it was the right thing to do,” emphasizes Hoselton, who frequently reflects on the trip he made last August to Nunavut. “Considering that it was such a huge idea at first and that it actually wound up coming true, I thought that was the amazing part.” With help from his father who had contacts in the region through his graphic design company as well as National Lacrosse League players from ProStar Lacrosse, the camp that featured 25 kids from age 6-15 came together quite quickly. Hoselton also arranged for equipment to be donated from his Nepean Knights club as well as the NLL’s Washington Stealth so the youngsters would be able to keep playing after they left. “The kids were super nice,” Hoselton recalls. “They were helping each other out in everything. They were just great.” That wasn’t the only highlight of Hoselton’s summer. The 16-year-old went over to Europe to try out for the Slovakian team that would enter its first ever world field lacrosse championship – an option available to him because his mother is Slovak. Not only did Hoselton make the team, he also became the youngest player to ever score a goal at the worlds. “It was incredible,” says Hoselton, who enjoyed seeing the pros from the Canada and U.S. teams walking around the Manchester University campus where the championships were held in England. “The stuff that I did that summer, at age 16, I just thought it was absolutely amazing.

Raiders beat 73’s in consecutive games BRIAN WILSON This week’s Central Canada Hockey League action saw the Nepean Raiders take on the Kemptville 73’s in a home-and-home series with the Raiders winning both games. Both games had playoff implications. The Raiders are trying to control their positioning going into the playoffs while Kemptville is still trying to gain a spot. Raiders head coach and general manager Peter Goulet stated that “they are only able to control what happens on the ice. There are teams that are trying to catch us and we are still trying to catch other teams.” On Friday night, Feb. 11, Nepean travelled to Kemptville and earned a 6-2 win. The Raiders opened the scoring at the 6:23 mark of the first period when Brent Norris scored his 36th of the season. They took a 2-0 lead before the end of the first period when Scott Domenico notched his 12th of the year. Nepean scored two more times before the 73’s replaced their goalie. Felix Boutin scored both goals. The 73’s got on the board, breaking up goalie Dan Altshuller’s bid for a shutout. Kenneth Neil got the Raiders’ fifth goal of the game before the end of the period. The Raiders, holding a comfortable 5-1 lead going into the third, played the remainder of the game on cruise control. The teams exchanged goals in the frame. Craig Cowie scored his 17th of the year. Assisting on the Nepean goals were Buddy Robinson with three, Cowie with two and Ryan Johnston, Domenico and Boutin with singles. Nepean went home with the two points and a 6-2 victory. Boutin and Robinson were named the games first and second stars respectively Sunday afternoon, Feb. 13, the 73’s visited the Yzerman Arena at the Nepean Sportsplex hoping to avenge Friday’s loss to the Raiders. They couldn’t, however, as

the Raiders took the game 3-2. Just 2:19 into the game the 73’s opened the scoring. Later on the period, they added a second goal. Holding a 2-0 lead after one, Kemptville came out flying in the second. The first 10 minutes of the period featured fast-paced, end to end action. A couple of defensive lapses saw the Raiders tie the game with back to back goals less than 45 seconds apart. Cole Weedmark got his 10th of the season, assisted by Grant Garvin and Devin Stuermer. It was followed up by Robinson’s second of the season. Assisting were Cowie and Zach Carriveau. Nepean added a power-play goal with less than a minute left in the second to take a 3-2 lead to the dressing room at the end of two. Scoring on the power play was

Weedmark with his second of the game from Robinson and Boutin. The third period had no scoring. The teams combined for 28 shots on goal in the period, but both goalies barred the door. Weedmark and Robinson were named the first and second game stars. Goulet also said that “the Raiders have had a good season so far, with some struggles as is the norm in junior hockey.” The play of goaltender Dan Altshuller has been amazing. He was named the tournament’s top goaltender at the World Under-17 Challenge “He is a great kid and sometimes we forget he is only 16,” said Goulet. The Raiders next home game is Sunday, Feb. 20 at the Yzerman arena at the Nepean Sportsplex at 2:30 p.m.

How does WagJag work?

WagJag posts online one exceptional deal per day that must be purchased by a minimum number of people or the deal is cancelled.

Consumers spread the word through email, Facebook, Twitter and by word of mouth to encourage others to buy into the deal... or they may not get it.

Why you should consider marketing through WagJag. RISK FREE WagJag offers activate only if minimum met; if it is not met you still get the free advertising plus a $100 advertising credit.

Once the deal is on businesses get an inﬂux of new customers in a risk-free, cost-free alternative to conventional advertising

GET PAID QUICKLY We pay you quickly once the deal is complete even though you provide the goods or services later. You can choose between an agreed upon commission or 1.5x the commission value in advertising credits. A great way to extend the beneﬁts of WagJagging!

NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES We only get paid for success. We charge commission on the incremental revenue we generate for you.

MARKET THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS Users are encouraged to share and discuss your business online; through our website and social media networks (Facebook,Twitter etc.) WagJag empowers users to recruit their friends to your business – “word of mouth” made easy!

GUARANTEED VOLUME & REVENUE By setting a minimum you are guaranteed a certain amount of volume and corresponding revenue.

MEASURABLE RESULTS You will know exactly how many new customers you get, who they are and when they return.

NEW CUSTOMERS WagJag brings in new customers that you can up-sell and turn into repeat customers.

FEATURED PROMINENTLY & EXCLUSIVELY Your business is featured by itself on our homepage for the duration of the offer – you get the entire page! We design an attractive feature and write a fun, catchy editorial that is optimized for search engines.

For more information please contact us at 613.221.6207 or email ottawa@wagjag.com
