Three area schools are receiving the go ahead from the Ontario Ministry of Education to institute all-day kindergarten for 2012-13, the ministry announced March 2. Barrhaven’s St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School and Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School, plus Manotick Public School, will be teaching little tykes from morning until afternoon starting next September. In total, 900 more schools will now be offering all-day kindergarten across the province. “Full-day learning really provides a much more in depth learning environment for the child,” Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Zone 7 trustee Mark Fisher said. “The earlier that we can start understanding how a child learns, the quicker as a board we can start developing strategies for helping to assist the child.” The Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode Township/ Gloucester-South Nepean trustee, whose zone covers Adrienne Clarkson, said the school has been in his sights since January. This is the third phase of the Ministry of Education’s five-step initiative to bring all-day kindergarten to more schools. The initiative started in 2010 and will end in September 2014. Fisher will submit a list of schools – as per the board’s recommendations – for 2013-14 and 2014-15 in the near future based on the ministry’s criteria such as existing space. See ‘Full-day’, page 3

New home, superstars for hoedown EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com
The second annual Capital Hoedown happening Aug. 11 to 13, has gotten too big for its britches, and will be moving to LeBreton Flats to host the slew of superstars such as Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts and Miranda Lambert who will be headlining the August event. The inaugural country music festival was held at the Rideau Carleton Raceway
(RCR) in Ottawa South last summer, and Concert International, which organizes the country music festival, was in the process of leasing 180 acres of property adjacent to the Rideau Carleton Raceway this year in an effort to expand. But since the land isn’t cleared, Benoit said they moved to Lebreton Flats at the last minute. According to organizers, they are anticipating 45,000 visitors a day between August 11 and 13.

Locally, only Barrhaven’s Jockvale Elementary School was granted full-day kindergarten last September. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School principal Jim Rogers the news would certainly be welcomed by the parents in the community. Right now, the school has approximately 80 students in its half-day junior- and senior-kindergarten programs. Gordon Butler, chair of the Catholic school board, said increased enrolment meant some budget pressures as ministry funding was based on a number of classes. “We had to fund the couple of extra classes out of our own budget, but we were still able to have a balanced budget,” he said. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty predicts the program will be offered in every Ontario school by September 2015 at an annual cost of $1.5 billion. With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Full-day kindergarten for 2012 Continued from front “In the last three years, that’s been a key requirement,” he said. “We’re really starting to look at schools where additions may be required.” Fisher added that full-day kindergarten in mostly lower-to-middle-income neighbourhoods, so parents won’t have to pay for child care during the day, is the top priority. “That’s one of the major considerations the province had looked at,” he said. “If you look at schools that were announced in the first year, predominantly the schools that were identified were in lower-income neighbourhoods across the city. He added that before- and after-care programs would be made available. “Access to daycare and before- and aftercare services are hard to come by,” Fisher said. “Even in a middle-income neighbourhood, where certain services do exist, it is still a challenge to find them.”

That is an amount the current available land at RCR can’t possibly accommodate but which Bluesfest has proven possible several years in a row at its annual July festival. This year’s lineup includes superstars such as Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney, and the festival is expecting up to 45,000 visitors a day between August 11 and 13. Although the raceway space would have been sufficient, Lebreton Flats has been proven through the success of the annual 12day Bluesfest event that drew more than 400,000 people last summer. Apart from offering all the amenities, the site is also blessed with good aesthet-
ics. “For a concert site you want it to be beautiful,” Benoit noted. General admission passports for the three-day festival cost $175, and single day tickets will be $75 through Capital Tickets. Twenty-five hundred VIP passports, which offer free parking, private bars and washrooms and special seating, will be available for $250. Kenny Chesney will headline the event Aug. 11, which will also feature Doc Walker and Tara Oram. On Aug. 12, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert will draw crowds with Billy Currington. On Aug. 13 the Rascal Flatts will headline for a day-long lineup that includes Sara Evans, Easton Corbin, Justin Moore, The Keats and more.
Celebrating the jubilation of music The sanctuary of Trinity United Church in Kars will be ringing In Jubilation of Music on March 26. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, an adult mixed voices choral group founded in 1977 in Stittsville, and the Junior Jubilees, a children’s choir, will be performing a varied repertoire including sacred music, folksongs and songs from childhood. The sanctuary of Trinity United Church (located at 6656 Rideau Valley Dr. South in Kars) has a beautiful wood ceiling and exceptional acoustics. This is an event that you do not want to miss!
Preceding the Jubilee Singers, there will be a sing-along with the talented Ottawa Valley minister and musician, Rev. Dr. Daniel Hansen. The evening of music is in memory of Mary Christensen, former organist and choir director of Trinity United. The concert begins at 7 pm and will finish at 9:30 pm. During intermission your senses will be tempted with an array of international sweets and desserts – complimentary with your admission ticket. Only 150 tickets are available.

Parents fume over lack of secondary school boundary changes JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
What seemed like a no-brainer motion to zone three — Barrhaven/Knoxdale-Merivale trustee Donna Blackburn has parents facing off at the March 8 board meeting. Blackburn, whose territory covers the Barrhaven subdivision of Half Moon Bay, has heard from many parents that are frustrated about their kids daily, hour-long commute to South Carleton High School in Richmond. So she decided to do something about it. During a February board meeting she passed a motion — her first ever — to allow parents in Half Moon Bay to enroll their children at John McCrae Secondary School instead of South Carleton. “Initially the motion said for the school year 2011 to 2012 but a colleague suggested I take that out and we all just
agree to look at the issue again if enrolment became an issue at either school,” Blackburn said, adding that South Carleton had a healthy number of students and that John McCrae stands to lose 80 students next year, so it could stand the boost. “It’s pretty easy to predict the numbers at John McCrae because it only has one feeder school (Cedarview Middle School) so the numbers make sense,” Blackburn said. The motion passed, with only two trustees voting against. Now, Lynn Scott, trustee for zone one — West Carleton, March, Stittsville, Kanata West/Rideau-Goulbourn —¬ has put forward a motion to reconsider the move. “I just think we need to have a public consultation to give people a chance to have input in a decision that will have such a profound impact on such a large population,” Scott said. “Before the amendment that took out the timelines it

OTTAWA’S 8 WEEK XTREME BODY
was a small measure, but this looks at making a more permanent change without considering all the elements.” Scott said that with a new school in Stittsville in the works and the potential for enrolment at South Carleton to go down, she wanted to see more time allowed for crunching the numbers. “I have no problem with looking at ways to allow Barrhaven kids to go to their community school, I just have a problem with the way it was done,” she said. Blackburn, on the other hand, says public consultation in her neck of the woods would be pointless. “Parents are not going to tell me they would rather send their kids to Richmond on a bus everyday,” she said. Angelo Dicerni, communications director of the Half Moon Bay Community Association, said that his stepson would have to say goodbye to his extracurricular sports activities if he goes to South Carleton in the fall. At Cedarview, the Grade 8 student plays volleyball, soccer and has actually been asked to cut down on the sports as he has been running his parents ragged. “He is very active and all we are asking is he be allowed to have a normal high school experience, that’s not possible if he is bussed an hour away from his friends every day,” Dicerni said. Scott said that while she recognizes the aggravation of some of the Barrhaven parents, the rules were in place when they bought their homes. “We obviously want the kids to go to community schools but sometimes that just isn’t possible,” she said. Sara Charron, chair of South Carleton parent council expressed outrage in a letter to the board about the whole plan. “If parents could chose their schools, I sure the parents in Burritts Rapids would rather go to Kemptville as it is closer than South Carleton, but this is not an option,” she said in the letter. “There are few options for rural students. As new subdivisions are built, residents do not realize that they have become rural, maybe not in the style of housing, but on what was rural land.” But Dicerni contends that with the residents of Half Moon Bay being considered part of Ottawa and paying higher taxes, they should get a little more say about where their kids go to school. “Ms. Scott is the trustee for the school where my step son will go but I had no chance to vote for her or against her because I live in this geographic area, as far as I am concerned this is taxation without representation. It’s unconstitutional,” he said.

Residents pitch ideas to curb city spending LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com
From savvy entrepreneurs plugging their products to residents sick of tax increases, more than 30 people pitched their ideas for saving money at Ottawa Mayor Jim Waton’s spending control town hall meeting March 1. “I’m here to listen,” the mayor said as a line of 33 people formed. The mayor stood taking notes at a podium for just shy of two hours as each speaker addressed him face-to-face. A favourite idea of the mayor and city councillors was swapping out the city’s 44,000 street lights with LED versions could save the city $27.5 million over 10 years. That’s because the lights use less electricity and don’t need to be replaced as often, said Steve Liakos, who represents the Kanata-based company that sells the lights. “The city should start invest-
ing in these,” Liakos urged. Other councillors at the meeting, including Bay Ward’s Mark Taylor and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward’s Tim Tierney agreed that the LED streetlight idea seemed to be the most promising proposal. Other ideas ranged from the low-tech, such as Carlington resident Michael Kostiuk’s suggestion that snow fences could cut down on plowing, to the high-tech, such as an online system to solicit contractors for city projects. Right now, the city seeks bids for larger, more expensive programs such as road construction. But an online system, like the one suggested at the meeting and previously suggested by Tierney (the chair of the city’s information technology subcommittee), would allow businesses to compete for even smaller projects – potentially finding savings for the city. Other concerns heard includ-
ed wanting the city to turn off the lights in municipal buildings, reduce garbage pick up to encourage residents to use their green bins for organic waste, focus construction on repairing and maintaining the city’s basic infrastructure (instead of building new roads) and purchasing smaller city vehicles – another suggestion that won Watson’s favour. Watson said he didn’t want to make the evening into a debate. He stayed true to his word for the most part, only making an occasional response or clarification to resident’s ideas and critiques on some big-picture issues, such as the 1.2-kilometre, $55.5-million Alta Vista Transportation Corridor “link” and the Lansdowne Park redevelopment plan. Watson said he wants to see as many ideas put into action as possible, but they doesn’t have to be done right away. “The good thing about this

‘Sexting’ can lead to child pornography charges JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Do you know what kind of messages your teenagers are sending on their cell phones or what types of activities they are engaging in on a webcam? If they’re under the age of 18 and are “sexting� – a form of sending sexually suggestive pictures or video – they could be charged with child pornography, said Ottawa police at a meeting on technology and teen mental health on Feb. 28. “It can be considered child pornography if they’re under the age of 18; they willingly took those photos,� said Const. Amy Haggerty. Constables Haggerty and Carrie Archibald, west end school resource officers, said the number of teenagers who
are sexting is troubling. “We’re getting a lot of calls surrounding the sexting issue,� said Archibald, who along with Haggerty, is responsible for up to 14 schools in Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and Nepean. “It’s rampant; we’re dealing with it two to three times a week.� Haggerty said it’s extremely easy for a photo or video to be distributed to hundreds of people in a matter of minutes. “It’s instantaneous now. The second they hit send it’s out of their hands.� 15-YEAR-OLD CHARGED Around 30 parents attended the information evening, held at Earl of March Secondary School on Feb. 28. In order to get the seriousness of the
FILM FESTIVAL IS BACK!
THE
issue across, Archibald used the example of a 15-year-old male student who was charged with distributing child pornography. He had an online relationship with a teenage female and the two sent sexually explicit photos back and forth. When it was apparent the relationship wasn’t going anywhere, the young girl asked the boy to delete the photos. Instead, he forwarded the pictures to his friends. The photos made the rounds at three different high schools. “Over 600 kids saw the photos,� said Archibald. The way the charges work, she said, is if a person holds on to the photo, it’s possession of child pornography. If they send it to others, it’s distribution. “It’s a criminal charge,� said Haggerty. “It can be an indictable offence.� If proven guilty, the charge can carry between five to 10 years of jail time, community service or probation. If the perpetrator is under 18, it doesn’t mean it will disappear from their record when they become legal age, said Haggerty. “They could be flagged as a sexual offender. Even if you aren’t criminally charged, if your name’s on a police report you’re still flagged. Something like this will show up in a police record’s check, with ties to a child porn case,� she said. “That’s going to look negative.� If the messages are sent on a phone or computer owned by the minor’s parent, the parent could also be charged, said Archibald, who added if the crime happens on a company laptop that the parent is in possession of, then there is the possibility of a civil suit. “If you’re at the airport and the images are on your computer and security finds them, they aren’t going to listen if you say ‘it’s my child. I didn’t take these,’� said Archibald. “We need you to understand this is what you’re coming up against.� NEED TO EDUCATE “Our position right now is to educate,� said Archibald, who added the police are looking for an outside group to help them spread the message of the consequences of sexting in area schools. “Communication is huge.� As technology continues to rapidly evolve, the legal system can’t keep up with all the changes. “Our court system, laws, they aren’t in balance with how fast technology is growing,� said Haggerty.

“We’re backpedaling right now because we’re dealing with it as it’s happening.� One parent in the audience said education about the consequences should start in elementary school. “By high school it’s almost too late,� she said. Haggerty said it’s important for parents to have age-appropriate conversations with their children so they understand the consequences of their actions. She said software that offers parental controls for electronic devices is a wise choice, as is keeping computers and cell phones out of bedrooms, and instead having them set up in a common area of the house. “There’s a lot that can happen behind closed doors while you’re downstairs,� she said. “Your kids are not your friends. Don’t sneak around; let them know you’re monitoring them. Make it very transparent.� Web expert Andy Church said it’s a good idea for parents to get involved online to monitor their children’s actions – and those of their friends. With the popularity of Facebook, an online social networking site, he said parents should create a profile and “friend� their children. “Check out what they’re sharing and commenting on,� said Church. “I check out my kids’ (profiles) once a week.� He said parents need to talk to their kids about the content being put online. “Tell them assume anything you post will be seen by everyone. Bad news travels fast. If you see something that disturbs you, creeps you out, take a screen shot and contact the proper person – the parent, the school, the police.� He said it’s important to understand the security and privacy settings and limit sharing content to friends only. “Once it’s on the web it’s out there. There’s actually very little we can do with Facebook,� said Haggerty, who added as an American-owned site, it’s subject to American laws. One in five teens between the ages of 13 and 19 have posted nude or semi-nude photos of themselves, said Haggarty. “Sexting, it’s just exploded in the last little while. You can monitor (their actions). There’s nothing wrong with setting parameters.� She added it’s important parents are realistic about the types of activities their children may be engaging in. “Be open. Let them know they can come to you even if they’ve made a bad decision.�

A two-year-old American online study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy found alarming statistics regarding teenagers and the sexting phenomenon. The survey was fielded to 653 teenagers between the ages of 13 and 19, and found that: • One in five teens have posted or sent nude or semi-nude photos of themselves. • Fifteen per cent of teens who have sent or posted nude or semi-nude images of themselves said they did so to someone they only knew
online. • Thirty-nine per cent of teens have sent sexrelated messages. • Forty-eight per cent have received a sexual text message. • Fifty-one per cent of girls have felt pressured by a boy to send a sexually explicit text, while 18 per cent of boys felt pressured by a girl. • Twenty-three per cent of girls and 24 per cent of boys have felt pressured by friends to send sexual messages.

STAFF Spring is just around the corner, and a new community group wants to hear Manotick residents’ ideas and priorities for cultural, parks, and recreation projects in Manotick. “We’re lucky to have many parks and recreational activities already,” said Noel Norenius, longtime Manotick volunteer and president of the group. “But there is an opportunity to improve facilities and add activities that build on Manotick’s unique heritage and promote use of parks, recreational facilities, and natural spaces.” The Manotick Culture, Parks, and Recreation Association (www.mcpra.ca) was recently formed to lead or help other organizations accomplish environmentally responsible culture, parks, and recreation projects in Manotick. Possible projects include creating a walking path along Mahogany Harbour, bringing back “Grass Roots Theatre” – an outdoor theatre in the summer;, refurbishing the outdoor skating rink at Centennial Park,
or helping other groups green their cultural or recreational projects. Members of the MCPRA have deep experience in community ‘greening’ efforts including the $60,000 Trees for Rideau tree planting effort, the $20,000 Centennial Park gateway, and the $40,000 project that created three new walking paths in Manotick in 2010. “We look forward to working with other community groups to make projects happen, like we did with the recently-completed pathways in Manotick,” says Kris Schultz, vice president. “We’re ready to roll up our sleeves, but we want to hear from Manotick residents what they’d like improved in their community.” The survey is available online, and 3,000 copies have been recently mailed to residents. Paper copies can be dropped off in the library. Results will be published in April. Residents who fill out the survey and leave their contact information will be eligible to win prizes.

Mary Honeywell aims to help out Haitians Students seeking milk bags DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
Mary Honeywell Elementary School has followed the lead of Farley Mowat Public School to help Haitians in need. Mary Honeywell students have been collecting milk bags, which are then woven into bed mats, in an effort to assist those in Haiti still feeling the after-effects of last January’s earthquake. The original idea was spearheaded by Farley Mowat Grade 3 teacher Laura Cinkant and was instituted at Mary Honeywell after office staff member Jane Austin discovered she was the nextdoor neighbour of a woman who shipped them to Haiti Students at Mary Honeywell immediately took to the idea. Over 200 bags were brought in to the school in the first two days, a number that has now at least tripled. Principal Hanif Jamal said it takes 300 bags to make one child-sized matt and 500 to make an adult one. He added that the initiative will continue indefinitely. “It’s really a win-win-win,” Jamal said, also noting the project’s educational and environmental components. “We hope we can extend this further (throughout the city).” Colette Eveillard’s Grade 1 French class has been more of the leaders in the school-wide initiative. After seeing a presentation about the state of
Haiti, her students jumped on board. “It’s really easy for them to get involved,” Eveillard said. “I know I wouldn’t want to be sleeping on those floors. “The kids have bought into it.” Providing comfort and warmth is nothing new to those at Mary Honeywell. Throughout January, students brought in new and gently-used winter clothing for the school’s sixth annual Mitten Mondays donation. In total, seven boxes – approximately 700 articles of clothing – were donated to the Snowsuit Fund of Ottawa, a group that hands out winter supplies to needy children.

‘More time for the Crime’ should be issued after death of Greely teen Friends and family of former Greely resident Alex Hayes flocked to an Ottawa courtroom on Feb. 28 wearing shirts that read “More time for the Crime.” And, if Ontario’s legal system has any justice left, their requests will be granted. Samira Daoud, 41, used her car as a weapon when she ran into the 16-year-old teen, who was riding his bike home along Bank Street from a shift at a nearby grocery store last fall, throwing him almost 40 metres and likely killing him instantly. The court heard Daoud was so drunk – three times the legal limit – she doesn’t even remember hitting the young cyclist. Witness accounts said Daoud drove “erratically” down the busy road, leading to a slew of 911 calls. Unfortunately, those calls didn’t prevent Hayes’s death. It would be one thing had his death been an accident; a series of inopportune unfortunate events. But that wasn’t the case. Daoud had been drinking at a bar close by and
refused a ride home from the owner. She should never have been driving, if not morally, then legally. Aside from being well under the influence, Daoud was driving without any credentials – her licence having been suspended in July 1999. This wasn’t her first time getting behind the wheel – and getting caught – while drunk, following her first offence in August 2006. Ontario Court Justice Célynne Dorval now has until March 18 to make her decision about this repeat offender. Crown prosecutor Julie Scott is hoping to get a sentence of seven to 10 years in prison for Daoud and defence lawyer Bob Carew has countered with three to six years. Even if Daoud is sentenced at the upper echelon of the Crown’s wishes, many will feel this is not nearly enough. A now-41-year-old cutting down the life of a teen not even half her age – especially one regarded with so much promise – may never get her just due in the minds of some. But an appropriate jail term can at least give them some solace.

Double double trouble in the name game That was a shocking story about the overcrowded Vancouver hospital that had to use the in-house Tim Hortons as part of its emergency room. Everyone is running around wondering what to do about this. The obvious solution, spending more public money on hospitals, has not seemed to occur to anyone. This is an age in which no government is allowed to spend more money on anything. In that vein, you are invited to view a proposal to sell naming rights on public buildings in Ottawa. Under the proposal, buildings — or parts of buildings or rooms in buildings, or perhaps doors in buildings — would be named after generous corporate donors. This idea is viewed by its supporters as money for nothing. If Ottawa City Hall became, for example, Toyota City Hall, that would raise some revenue for the city and the city wouldn’t have to do anything politically ugly like use taxes to raise money. As for the fact that people may not like the idea of Ottawa City Hall being called Toyota City Hall — some might not even like it being called Disney City Hall — there are two answers. One came from an Ottawa councillor: “There was a time when the tax base
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town could support everthing that folks were looking for,” Mark Taylor said, quoted by the CBC. “That day has come and gone, and now we have to make sure we’re capitalizing on every other opportunity.” That’s one way of looking at it. Another way is to say that what has really come and gone is the courage of politicians to keep services at a high level and ask taxpayers to pay for them. Anyway, that’s one answer. The other answer is that people, even if they are horrified at first by a public wading pool named after an insecticide, will get used to it. And, unfortunately, that’s correct. Remember when ScotiaBank Place was the Palladium? Remember when it became the Corel Centre? How upset were you, really? And you probably wouldn’t be upset if tomorrow it became the Ex-Lax Centre either, especially if the
parking congestion were eased. A cyic might say that there are dozens of ugly structures in this town that might benefit by being named after, say, Count Chocula or Hummer or Air Wick. But in general, it isn’t a good idea to rename everything in sight just to pull in some corporate bucks. Some of the best names on local structures have nothing to do with corporations. What could be a better name than Frank Clair Stadium? (Don’t you dare change it, by the way.) And who would quarrel with naming buildings, parts of buildings, parks and open spaces after Walter Baker or Ben Franklin or Charlotte Whitton or Andrew Haydon or Marion Dewar? Mercifully there is no indication that they will be changed. Those names say something about the history of the city. A corporate name, unless it is a local one, says nothing. Here are some names of North American sports facilities: American Airline Arena, Rexall Place, Arco Arena, Bank One Ballpark, Cinergy Field, HP Pavilion, Office Depot Centre. Not a one has any identification with the city in which it is located and only a total sports nerd would be able to link the city with the name.Does Edmonton immediately

spring to mind when you hear Rexall Place? That’s not what we want for Ottawa. But — eureka! — maybe it would work in Vancouver. You take the hospital Tim Hortons, remove the doughnuts, put the hospital equipment in permanently and, voila, here is a new emergency room. Then, you rename it the Tim Hortons Emergency Room and charge Tim Hortons a few hundred thousand for the privilege. That seems to make sense. The only question is where people would go for their coffee. Perhaps a new doughnut shop down the street. What about naming it after a public building?

She founded the Brighthope School for children with disabilities; spearheaded the conservation of the Byward Market and Project 4,000 (alongside Marion Dewar); and was integral to the founding of the City’s Office for Equal Opportunity.

4,000 Southeast Asian refugees. Most of all, Kehoe has always encouraged and inspired girls and women to pursue their ambitions, and was integral to the founding of the City’s Office for Equal Opportunity. Even after she retired from municipal politics in 1985, she never slowed down. At 93, Kehoe is as chipper, as passionate, and bold as she ever was. She spends her time living independently in Ottawa and her “adopted” second homeland, Barbados. In conjunction with this announcement, the 35 nominees for the eight other award categories were also revealed. These include women from diverse sectors of the community including the sciences, education, non-for-profit and the arts. In the Barrhaven area, Mar-
lene Caicco of Rx&D Health Sciences (Blackshire Circle) was nominated for a Woman of Distinction Award. “Rowe embodies the mission and the fundamental values of the YMCA – YWCA by supporting its vision through 30 years of community volunteering,” noted DiCintio. “She has tirelessly volunteered in various grassroots community organizations at the local, national and international levels. As a community volunteer, Melissa has forged new relationships as a facilitator, trainer, leader, and educator with a number of organizations as well as served as a member of the board of directors in several non-profit organizations. “Her contributions have helped to improve the quality of
life for women and girls through her work in the areas of advocacy, leadership and capacity building. Any person with whom she works with appreciates and values her commitment. Through her 35 years as a social worker, health care provider and teacher, Melissa has utilized her passion for working, supporting and encouraging people as a community volunteer which has assisted her in providing support to others in coping with life challenges.” In Manotick, Faiza Abdulla of Rx&D Health Sciences on Ann Street, was also nominated.

“May I express my sincere gratitude to the Y Women of Distinction Awards for this unexpected honour,” Kehoe said. “I share this recognition with many people who worked alongside me as both volunteers and professionals. I also share this with my family and friends — whose love, support and encouragement were a constant resource for me in my efforts to support my community.” An activist, mother, politician, and advocate for the disadvantaged, Kehoe has had a profound effect on the city of Ottawa. Born in 1918, she was one of the few women to graduate the University of Ottawa in 1940. A mother of five, she was inspired by her daughter Janie, born with Down’s Syndrome, and founded the Brighthope School for children with disabilities. Working with Marion Dewar in the 1960s and ’70s, Kehoe pushed Ottawa towards progressive social change. In 1974, she was elected Alderman in Carleton Ward. During her time in City Hall, she spearheaded groundbreaking civic initiatives, such as the conservation of the Byward Market and Project 4,000- the sponsorship of

‘Toddy’ Kehoe to receive Lifetime Achievement Award
News
Organizer, performer getting ready to ‘Ambush’ cancer Amanda Saffioti will always remember those special qualities about her dad, Carmelo. Whether it was helping elders with their groceries or holding doors for strangers, the Greely resident considers her dad to have been a friendly face around the community. “He was the greatest man,” Saffioti said. “There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for anyone.” That’s why she doesn’t want anyone to forget him – or how he died. Saffioti, 23, along with her siblings Angela, Christina and Paul, decided
Carmelo Saffioti
organized the Fight to Ambush Cancer concert – scheduled for April 16 at the Greely Community Centre – to remember her father who succumbed to the disease last April at age 56. Although he had diabetes, Carmelo quit smoking and was starting to live a healthier lifestyle, even tending to yard work just two weeks prior to his death. But, suddenly Carmelo began coughing up blood, finally reaching a point to where he could no longer swallow ginger ale. After a trip to the emergency room, doctors eventually discovered that Carmelo had stomach cancer. He was given two to eight months to
live, but he died the next week. In the aftermath, Saffioti knew she and her siblings had to do something to remember their dad. Soon after, they thought of the concert idea and began advertising through Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson’s office and on Facebook. “We wanted to do something to keep his memory alive, but help others in the process who could potentially be in the same situation one day,” Saffioti said. “It’s to raise awareness, encourage people to get checked and to rock out and prove the spirits of those we’ve lost are still with us.” Once planning got under way, Saffioti needed a band to headline. She immediately thought of country-rock group Ambush, who got on board right away. “It’s a fight that we support wholeheartedly not only with our time to help raise funds for the cause, but with our thoughts and prayers as well,” Ambush singer Riq Turner said, who lost his brother to cancer eight years ago. “With all the members of the Ambush Army mobilized against cancer maybe we can help win this war.” All proceeds from the event will go to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Tickets can be purchased from for $20 from the foundation’s office at 704-265 Carling Ave. or by calling 613-247-3527 ext. 228 or 613-218-0612.

The Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO) awarded four residents for their work in the community at an awards’ gala on March 1. The gala, held at the Centurion Conference Centre in Nepean, was the third annual ceremony for the Ottawa Community Awards of Excellence (OCAE). Kanata resident and retired physics teacher at Bell High School Charanjit Wadehra said he was proud to be named in the “heroes among us,” category. “I feel very good about it,” he said. Wadehra immigrated to Canada in 1968 and started teaching that year. He still works as a supply teacher and says he loves it. “The kids are so great and physics is such an interesting subject, it’s the one thing that always applies to your life,” he said. Wadehra is on the board of directors for the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and volunteers to drive patients to their appointments. He also volunteers with a business crime prevention program through the Ottawa Police and with the Kanata Senior Centre. He is a coordinator with the Punjabi Senior Association and has knocked on doors during several election campaigns as a member of the board of directors for the Carleton Mississippi riding — where he brings up issues that affect the immigrant communities of Ottawa. He has also helped raise $6.6 million for the University of Ottawa’s Heart Institute as part of Dhadkan (means heart beat) team. “I like to stay busy,” he said, adding that when he isn’t busy volunteering he plays bridge and takes classes in English country folk dancing. Ayda Khan, a 13-year-old student of Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School in Barrhaven, was awarded in the category of youth leadership. Ayda is a volunteer at her school’s breakfast club and donated part of her singing honorarium to help support the club and to encourage students to start a healthy day at school. She speaks six languages and is an active student in art and drama. She was
nominated for the 2009 Ottawa Civic Appreciation Award and has performed CBC’s “Little Mosque on the Prairie” and on “The Prime Radicals” on TVO Kids. Ayda uses her voice to inspire multiculturalism in her community and contributes to many local ceremonies. L’école secondaire Publique Omer Deslauriers in Nepean, along with Juniper Networks were named for the Organizational Leadership awards. According to OCISO, Deslaurier’s prinicipal René Chiasson and his team have played a key role in assisting immigrant and refugee families to deal with challenges after coming to Canada. The school has promoted multiculturalism by accepting the differences in culture that immigrant children bring to Canada. The school conducts workshops that help families adapt to the education system and integrate into the community. The schools holds an annual fundraising event and uses the money to welcome new students and their families and assist them in the integration process. The school received $50,000 from Future Shop in January to develop a technical laboratory where the students can advance their skills. The school recently organized a fundraiser for the multicultural liaison officer program summer camp, where immigrant children can learn leadership, recreational and English and French skills. With its vision to make the school an inclusive and welcoming place for new immigrants, the school encourages and provides support to the community. Juniper Networks — a Kanata-based technology infrastructure company — really works hard to be part of the community. It operates the Juniper Foundation, which aims to promote and support education in the communities it serves from early childhood through to the end of high school. The focus is on programs that foster technical understanding and increasing job preparedness. Over the past few years Juniper has been actively involved in partnering with organizations like OCISO to promote immigrant and refugee integration in Ottawa. They have even provided trained employees as volunteer mentors to assist

LDHSS students show off their teaching skills Grade 8s instruct lesson at FYBY Summit DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
A group of Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School Grade 8 students had a chance to show off their teaching skills for a day on March 1. Through the Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa’s For Youth By Youth (FYBY) Summit, seven students made a presentation called “Before You Walk a Mile, Tie Up Your Own Shoes,” outlining a need for self reflection and analysis before proceeding with a life plan. “It feels good knowing you made a difference,” Hussam Anjum said. “People got our message before we even explained it.” Hussam and his group members – Vithyaa Premjeranth, Mostafa Ali, Junior Ko, Nathan Prum, Yasemin Oktu and Nour Abu-Shaaban – made their presentation at the Confederation Conference Hall in Nepean. In attendance for the discussion were not only peers of the students, but their teachers as well. Longfields-Davidson Heights became involved with FYBY when founder Samira Ahmed contacted the school’s vice-principal Alain Brule. Ahmed said the goal of FYBY – which is in its fourth year – is to give students a platform to have their voices heard and allow facility and the school boards to apply some of their suggestions to the classroom. English and social studies teacher Jane Craske was impressed with the student-driven project and hopes they can present their ideas to other classes at Longfields-Davidson Heights and at staff meetings.

Aside from getting all their nerves out, the students were happy they were able to lead an important discussion. It didn’t hurt having a bit of power either. “When Ms. Craske was switching the slides, she said, ‘This is the only time I’m going to do what you tell me,’” Mostafa said.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind seeking foster parents LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com
Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is encouraging those interested in fostering a new puppy to take part in a briefing at the Manotick office on March 11 at 2 p.m. New litters have arrived. “Within several weeks, these puppies will require foster homes to learn what it takes to become a ‘good dog’ before entering formal training to become guide dogs or assistance dogs to help someone in need,” said Steve Doucette, special events coordinator for the organization. Foster parent criteria includes: • You must be home most of the day or obtain permission to take the dog to work with you.
• You require access to a vehicle for veterinary appointments and training sessions. • This is a 12-18 month commitment, raising and training the dog in your home, with the expectation for daily long walks in all conditions. All food and veterinary expenses are provided. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to aid as a guide dog or assistance dog. For more information, contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at (613) 6927777 or email info@guidedogs.ca .

Charities benefit from children’s pay-it-foward birthday parties LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com
Paying it forward for two Barrhaven siblings have resulted in two local charities benefiting from a pair of birthday parties. Sarah and Kyle Ross not only met their fundraising goals, but exceeded them. “Thanks to generous donations they received from their friends, Sarah raised $280 and Kyle raises $345,” said Elaine and Dave Ross, the children’s parents. Chance 2 Dance Foundation was the recipient of Sarah’s funds. She has been a dancer for most of her young life. She turned 11 years of age on March 3 and her birthday party raised $280. Kyle’s charity of choice was the Ottawa Humane Society which received the $345 raises from the eight-year-old’s party. “Sarah and Kyle were very proud of their accomplishments and were very excited to present the donations to the charities,” said Elaine Ross. “We are very proud of the kids and very thankful for all of the support that they received from their friends. Everyone’s generosity made their birthday parties a big success. They
very much appreciated their support.” According to the children’s parents, some of Sarah and Kyle’s friends have expressed an interest in accepting their challenge and plan to also have “pay it forward” birthday parties to support local charities. “This is the icing in the cake for the kids as it means that their birthdays were a starting point and others will continue to pay it forward. Kyle is already talking about having another pay it forward birthday party next year. He thinks he would like to support the food bank next year,” said Elaine. As a side note, Sarah’s class has raised enough money to purchase a ticket for the Dance Gala and are now on their way to raising enough to purchase two tickets for the event. “As parents we try to teach our children to appreciate what they have, to think of others, and to be kind and giving people,” said Dave. “Our children have truly inspired us over the last few weeks. Not only have they heard these life lessons they have shown us that, even at their young age, they know how to put them into practice.”

The Ottawa South United Force Under 13 team earned an indoor championship in Toronto recently after a big upset over Brams United in the final game, 1-0. Ottawa, after having played Brams in the round robin and taking a 4 – 0 hit, knew it would be a tough battle ahead of them. Both teams played a very strong first half, pushing hard to find the back of the net. OSU chalked the first goal of the game in the 10-minute mark when Hailey Martin took a hard shot from 15 yards out. Brams tried to secure an equalizer, but the Ottawa defense was tight and unforgiving.
The second half saw Brams pushing for a goal, but the Ottawa keeper would have none of it. As the half intensified, the game became one of defense, Ottawa holding its opponent and ultimately shutting it out. A scoreless second half and a one goal game, claimed the provincial championionship. In Ottawa’s sem-final, they met the Erin Mills Eagles. Both teams were strong. Ottawa’s first goal of the game came with nine minutes left in the first half. After the first goal, Erin Mills came back stronger, but the Ottawa defense held its ground. Ottawa scored a second goal in the second half, solidifying the lead and claiming its rightful
place in the Ontario Indoor Cup Finals. In the other semi-final, Brampton challenged the Toronto High Park Wildcats. Right away, both teams showed strong passes and clean plays. Brams took advantage of a few open net opportunities, leaving the score at 4 – 2 at the end of the first half. The High Park keeper was kept on her toes, fending off several tricky shots from the Brams crew. In the second half, High Park scored a third goal, pushing to make its way back into the game. However, this would be all it could do, as Brams took the game 4 – 3 over High Park to advance to the final.

Canada to host 2015 Women’s World Cup MATTHEW JAY matthew.jay@metroland.com
The world’s game moved one step closer to making its return to Ottawa last week when soccer’s governing body awarded the world’s top women’s competition to the Canadian Soccer Association. At its annual meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, the Federation Internationale de Football Association announced Canada would play host to both the Women’s U20 World Cup in 2014 and the 2015 Women’s World Cup.
“We would like to thank FIFA for entrusting the Canadian Soccer Association with this prestigious event,” said Dr. Dominic Maestracci, president of the CSA, in a statement. “We are committed to the growth of women’s soccer both in Canada and internationally and anticipate that this event will be another successful FIFA competition that will have a lasting impact on the sport in this country.” Seven cities across the country, including Ottawa, are being considered to be among the six host sites for both compe-
Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in North America!
GIRLS PLAY
LACROSSE Lacrosse is fast, fun and high-scoring. Lacrosse is a great fitness and conditioning sport. Lacrosse skills improve hockey skills.
For the 2011 season, the Nepean Minor Lacrosse Association will run a girls only program at the novice/peewee (birth year 1999-2002) and bantam/midget (birth year 1995-1998) levels. The program’s purpose is to introduce girls to lacrosse through weekly practices and games. The girls program will run twice per week (dates and times to be determined) from mid-April to the end of the school year.
WHAT TO BRING TO REGISTRATION:
Please note that all players in the girls program cannot participate in the boys house league program. In the event not enough girls register for a girls only program; players can elect to play in the mixed (boys and girls) house league program or receive a full refund.
• A note to those registering children other than their own: the registrant’s parent or guardian must sign the registration form.
• All players require a parent’s or guardian’s signature. • New players will need a photocopy of the player’s birth certificate to accompany registration. Please note: have a photocopy ahead of time as there will be no copying service available at the registration locations.

titions. Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Moncton, N.B., and Halifax are also candidates for hosting the events. FIFA will be evaluating the potential host cities this fall with a decision to follow shortly afterwards. While Ottawa’s participation hinges on the refurbishment of Frank Clair Stadium as part of the broader redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, Mayor Jim Watson was excited about the prospect of international soccer returning to the capital. “That would be a huge coup for us in Ottawa to get some of the games, just as we did with the FIFA Under-20 a couple of years ago,” said Watson. “All the games were sold out and it was a huge economic boost to the economy. It’s the fastest-growing sport both in Ottawa and in North America.” In early February, city council approved a $400,000 contribution to the CSA bid, consisting of cash and in-kind contributions funded through a $1-million economic development fund in the city’s budget. “The Women’s World Cup is the premier women’s sports event in the world and there’ll be 24 countries competing in the finals,” said Ottawa Fury Soccer Club owner John Pugh. “So it’ll be an opportunity for Ottawa to see some of the best female players in the world play and it will be a real inspiration to young soccer players in our community.” The last time Ottawa hosted a FIFA
event, the 2007 men’s U20 World Cup, eight of the tournament’s 52 matches were played at Lansdowne Park. The average attendance for those eight games was 25,128. Hosting the event would also be a boon to the city’s soccer community. Pugh said the effect of the 2007 event on players and fans across the city will only be enhanced by the pair of women’s tournaments. “I know young players in our club still talk about watching world-class players like Sergio Aguero from Argentina and Alexandre Pato from Brazil. They were under-20 players at the time and now they’re among the top players in the world. “I think the other thing that event did was (with) the size of the crowds, the atmosphere at the games and the quality of the play (it) turned a lot of spectators into soccer fans. So I expect to see similar things if we’re able to attract the Women’s World Cup to Ottawa.” Pugh also said the opportunity to see the top players from the women’s game in action would only have a positive effect on up and coming players. “Currently in the Canadian national team, there are many players who have played for the Fury. Some of them, like Christina Julien, came through our youth program and when that happens, you see other young players get inspired.

After finished the regular season with a 6-4 defeat to the Ottawa Jr. Senators on March 5, the Nepean Raiders are in the same predicament they were in a year ago. Following the game, which ended a 03 week thanks to two losses to the Pembroke Lumber Kings on March 2 and 4, the Raiders once again finished the Central Canada Hockey League standings in sixth place. The Raiders (27-25-10) will play the third-seeded Brockville Braves (44-15-3) in the first round. The Raiders opened their best-of-seven series in Brockville after press deadline on March 8. Game 2 is March 9 at the Nepean Sportsplex, Game 3 is back in Brockville on March 11 and Game 4 will be played at the Sportsplex on March 13 at 2:30 p.m. The final three games will occur as necessary on March 15, 16, and 18. Raiders head coach and general manager Peter Goulet said he likes his team’s chances against the defending RBC Cup semifinalists. “It’s another season,” he said. “We just got to make sure we’re ready to go. We have to make sure we cross our T’s and dot our I’s and be ready to go for the (first) game.”
FIRST PEMBROKE GAME If the third period of their Central Canada Hockey League game against the regular-season champion Pembroke Lumber Kings is any indication, the Nepean Raiders have shown they can play with the big boys heading into the playoffs. That’s if they stay out of the sin bin. It was an abundance of penalties that caused the Raiders to drop a 3-1 decision in their third-last game – and last home contest – of the season on March 2. “There were some questionable calls,” Goulet said. “But anyone who thinks it’s an easy job they’re (the referees) doing out there, it’s not. “It was a good, solid effort by the guys. I hate losing, but I’m still happy.” The Raiders gave the offensive-minded Lumber Kings 10 power-play tries in the game. Although their penalty killing was solid, the two goals against were the difference. “They did a really good job setting the table for us,” Lumber Kings head coach and general manager Sheldon Keefe said. “We’ve got a very good power play and they took a lot of penalties, which gave us a really good opportunity to get going in the game.” The turning point came midway through the second period. With the Raiders down 1-0 thanks to

The Pembroke Lumber Kings celebrate a goal by Chris Bodo as Nepean Raiders captain Craig Cowie skates away during a March 2 game. a power-play goal by Kings centre Tyler Tosunian, winger Buddy Robinson tried to turn the tide. Robinson cut around Pembroke defenceman Maurice Alvarez and looked to have a clear lane towards goaltender Jamie Phillips. Robinson was up-ended, which drew immediate ire from those on the Raiders’ bench. The next time down the ice, Pembroke scored when Matt Boudens tipped in a point shot from Stephen Farrell past Raiders goaltender Dan Altshuller.
Chris Bodo put the Lumber Kings up 3-0 before Raiders captain Craig Cowie responded in the third period on one of Nepean’s four man-advantages. Pembroke clinched the league’s regular season title with an 8-6 win over the Gloucester Rangers on Feb. 27. Keefe liked the way his team stuck to their defensive systems as they prepare for the playoffs. “To win a game like this, where we’re struggling to find some motivation for our guys, is a positive,” he said.

Everyone needs an outlet from their stressful lifestyle. It may be sports, volunteering or hobbies. Knitting, crocheting, sewing, scrapbooking and gardening are some of the more traditional hobbies for ladies, but they all take time to complete. Working moms however, find it difficult to be involved in a scheduled time slot. Beading projects take a half an hour to two hours to complete and can be done in the comfort of your own home, and whenever you have a few spare minutes. It encourages the development of hand-eye coordination, knowledge of colours, fine motor skills, sequences and patterns, and creativity for all ages. Beading gives you a wonderful sense of accomplishment. It saves you time and energy searching for the right accessories for a specific outfit. You can even make unique gifts for others. And most of all, it’s fun!

The service engine light will turn off after a number of drive cycles if, and when, the car computer registers a proper seal. If however, your service engine light comes on and flashes, this is a more serious problem, as it could mean the engine is misfiring (not running on all cylinders). The car should be inspected by a mechanic immediately to avoid damage to the engine or catalytic converter.

Q. A.
How long would it take to shape my brows permanently? Eyebrows naturally come in a variety of shapes and densities. The expectations of what an individual would like the end result to be may differ greatly from person to person. I would suggest that you take advantage of the offer for a free consultation; at that time the electrologist will explain the procedure of electrolysis and perform a sample treatment. The electrologist will discuss shaping strategies until an agreement is reached on a complimentary shape for your brows. Fashion trends continually change, and since electrolysis is permanent, it is prudent to keep a natural looking shape to your brows. Kathryn Hay Caress Electrolysis Ltd.

When your service engine light comes on and stays on, there could be several reasons for this. The most common of which is a loose gas cap. This can be resolved by simply tightening the gas cap and driving the car as normal.

Why is beading becoming such a popular hobby?
Asperger’s Syndrome is a social disorder on the Autism Spectrum continuum. Children with Asperger’s have difficulty engaging in social interactions and may have limited interests or may develop fixations. Social skills training teaches children strategies for coping with social anxieties and promotes an understanding of what is and is not socially appropriate. It provides them with the skills needed to engage in positive friendships and to make meaningful connections with the social world. Children on the Spectrum need structure and this can be a great challenge to maintain with today’s fast paced lifestyle. A predictable daily schedule helps children with Asperger’s know what to expect and can calm their anxieties. Social coaching through NET (Natural Environment Teaching) proves to be beneficial once the skill set is in place. Parents should seek opportunities for team building and cooperative learning and play. Small school environments are ideal as teachers can implement social skills coaching into the curriculum. Children with Asperger’s are often quite intelligent and thrive when their days are set up for success.
