FUNNY MAN

Zach DeFreitas will advance to the provincial public speaking championships with a speech that will make you smile. 6

John (Jack) Tobin pleaded guilty to a charge of impaired driving causing death on May 17, stemming from an incident that killed his friend in a parking garage in the Byward Market last Christmas Eve. Acting deputy crown Mark Moors said the crown will be seeking a “substantial” jail term for Tobin – the son of former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Brian Tobin. Moors said arguments from both sides will be presented on Aug. 4, with a sentencing ruling expected at a later date. The incident occurred on the roof of the parking garage where police said Tobin was driving over the legal limit. Police were called to the scene following reports that a man – Tobin’s friend Alex Zolpis – was pinned under a rented pickup truck. Zolpis was pronounced dead at the scene. The pair had been out drinking with a group of friends earlier that night. “Jack indicated to the police the very night of the occurrence that he was responsible and he wanted to do the right thing,” Tobin’s lawyer Norm Boxall said. “His instructions have been crystal clear that he wanted to accept responsibility and deal with this as soon as possible.” Boxall said the 24-year-old has been released on his bail conditions and will remain in Manotick with his parents until the sentencing.

Carleton Lodge loses oldest resident

Tobin pleads guilty

Anne Jarrett lived 106 years DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Anne Jarrett, a woman recognized as “the Queen of Barrhaven” by staff at the Carleton Lodge Long-Term Care Home, died on May 16. She was 106 years old, having celebrated her latest birthday in front of a packed house at Carleton Lodge on Jan. 10. Jarrett, the oldest resident at the facility, participated on the Lodge’s resident’s council as past president – where she submitted monthly reports on the quality of programs and entertainment offered at the residence. Jarrett was also the resi-

Anne Jarrett dence’s card convenor, offering

ed to stay at the Lodge because she had made new friends and loved the staff. “All the staff involved had a very close relationship with Anne,” Zion said. “She never excluded anybody.” Jarrett’s marriage to Walter Jarrett followed her marriage to Gordon McDonald in 1946. Although she never had any children, Jarrett is survived her extended family that extends five generations. She had five greatgreat-great nephews. Zion said Jarrett would be remembered at the Lodge as part of a memorial in late October along with the other residents who pass away from January to June 2011.

condolences to family members of residents who pass away. Carleton Lodge manager of recreation and resource Mary Zion said that Jarrett died peacefully. “She will definitely be missed,” Zion said. “She was a major contributor to the programs and the services at the Lodge. She also sat on numerous committees so her voice was very much heard. She was very much an ambassador when different groups came in. She would thank them on the residents’ behalf.” Jarrett moved to Carleton Lodge in 1999 with her thensecond husband Walter Jarrett after his health began to fail. When he died in 2002, she decid-

From ‘Tobin’, page 1 Boxall added that Tobin made his decision because he didn’t want to put Zolpis’s family through any more hardships. “In the interest of everyone, particularly friends and family of Alex, he thought it was important to accept responsibility as soon as possible and not require witnesses to come to court,” Boxall said.

Lowest diversion

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city is getting ready to practise what it preaches on recycling. On the heels of a decision to move to biweekly garbage pickup next year to encourage organics recycling, the City of Ottawa revealed its own track record of waste diversion in city facilities is far from ideal. There are no formal recycling or waste management policies for city facilities. That is set to change as the city moves to include smaller municipal buildings in the next residential waste collection contract. “It’s laughable,” said Coun. Maria McRae (River Ward), the chair of the environmental advisory committee. “We need to walk that talk,” she added. While staff and councillors at city hall led the way for waste diversion by keeping 66 per cent of its trash out of the landfill, even city hall staffers fall far short of the 94-per-cent diversion goal that has been set for them. The most egregious offenders were city daycares, which only diverted nine per cent of their waste – far short of their 62 per

•Daycares: 9 per cent (goal: 62 per cent) •Pools: 17 per cent (goal: 58 per cent) •Athletic centres: 17 per cent (goal: 64 per cent) •Recreation complexes: 21 per cent (goal: 77 per cent) •Museums: 28 per cent (goal: 88 per cent)

Highest achievers •City hall: 66 per cent (goal: 94 per cent) •Ben Franklin Place: 57 per cent (goal: 78 per cent) •Long-term care: 56 per cent (goal: 90 per cent) •Arts buildings: 50 per cent (goal: 87 per cent) •Libraries: 43 per cent (goal: 80 per cent)

cent goal. The city’s overall goal for both residential waste and the institutional, commercial and industrial sectors is 60 per cent. Those statistics were lamented by some councillors, including Mathieu Fleury (RideauVanier), who has worked in multiple city facilities as a lifeguard. He said recycling facilities are sometimes available for the public, but are not readily accessible by staff at buildings such as pools. Coun. Jan Harder (Barrhaven) said she has attended many community meetings during which people asked her

why recycling options aren’t available at the building. City facilities produce 4,000 tonnes of recyclables and waste, which costs $1.25 million to manage. Staff says it is difficult for the city to recycle more at its own buildings because commercialscale waste diversion and collection services are costly. Green-bin collection wasn’t included in the public-works waste collection contract in the last round, and it would have cost too much to break the contract to add organics collection, said John Manconi, a manager in Ottawa’s public works de-

partment. Just breaking the contract to add green-bin collection to the city’s 150 small facilities would cost $200,000, according to a city report. It would cost an additional $190,000 to add commercial recycling and waste services. Instead, the city is moving forward with a plan to treat those smaller buildings the same way it treats Ottawa residences. Adding 150 city buildings to the residential waste contract, set to take effect next summer, would cost comparatively less: between $20,000 and $25,000 annually.

Man hurt in fire STAFF A 77-year-old Manotick Station man is in critical condition in hospital after sustaining second- and third-degree burns to 80 per cent of his body on May 20. The man was burning brush on his property on Manotick Station Road when his clothing caught fire. Ottawa paramedics received the call at 10:08 a.m. and rushed him to hospital.

Plans for major O-Train expansions in the works LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Adding six new O-Trains to the fleet could spell relief during construction of the city’s light-rail system. At least, that’s the plan the city is hoping for to avoid critical congestion at Hurdman Station in a few years as the transition to a light-rail system begins. Although the plan presented last week was just an overview (a detailed report is coming in June), it paved the way for a surprise request from GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans. Deans, who is also the chair of the transit commission, was successful in her request to get the commission to sign off on a study expected to cost $200,000 that will look at extending the O-Train line south to Leitrim. In a move reminiscent of the city’s first cancelled light-rail plan, when ended with the city paying $36.7 million in order to break its contract for the project.

Deans said if council were to approve the rail extension, it would not only provide better transit service to the south end, but it would also spur development in those communities. “It would south-end residents to south-end rapid transit service probably almost two decades ahead of what is currently anticipated,” Deans said. “It’s not everything electrification would be, but it’s certainly much better service than they have today.” Rail was expected to reach the south end around 2026, according to the city’s transportation master plan. O-TRAIN EXPANSION The proposed six new trains and construction of passing tracks to allow increased frequency of service would cost $59 million, the city’s transit commission heard on May 18. Work on the train tracks would be done in 2013, to coincide with a planned shutdown of O-Train service in order to upgrade the Rideau River Bridge, Mercier

said. “That timeframe would be acceptable to do these upgrades, so we wouldn’t have to shut down twice.” A full financial case for the project wasn’t presented at the transit commission meeting, but it will be part of the detailed report that will be released next month. An “experiment” that begin in 2001, the O-Train has now reached capacity one some trips. At first only about 5,100 to 6,400 people were taking the train each day, but ridership has soared to 12,000 trips daily. People have taken more than 16 million trips on the train since it launched. A full report on the O-Train expansion will be presented to the transit commission on June 21 (the report will be made publically available on June 14). Due to the cost involved with the project, city council would have the final say on whether to move ahead and purchase new trains. The topic will be discussed at a June 22 council meeting.

Communication key on changes LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city’s bus-route optimization has moved from the big picture of planning a sustainable transit map to the detail of outlining exactly what every route – and the approximately 9,500 stops on each route – will look like. By the end of the summer, the city’s transit authority will have ironed out the details of changes that “optimized” 103 routes (two-thirds of the routes in the system), but not before tackling thousands of minute details on each route. After rounds of public consultation and hours of debate, the major changes and cuts have been made. OC Transpo staff presented 17 additional tweaks to the route changes that have been made since the overhaul was approved on April 20. In Barrhaven, the changes includes a small number of midday and evening trips that will be kept on Route 175, which was supposed to be reduced to peak periods only. But now that the framework of a revised bus system is in place, the real heavy lifting be-

gins. The city will need to update 6,000 transit signs, and bus stops and shelters will have to be moved. Some routes will even get a few new bus shelters. From co-ordinating with school boards to revising snowclearing schedules and even upgrading intersections to enable buses to get through, OC Transpo is now getting into the nitty-gritty of overhauling the system. Working on scheduling and providing detailed information to bus operators is also a priority, said Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo. These details will also help OC Transpo determine how many drivers it will need in the future as well as what type of bus will be needed for each route. The most important part of the work to be down before the new route system takes effect on Sept. 4 is communicating to riders how their commute will change. The transit authority wants to “get customers engaged in the change,” Mercier said, and is looking for innovative ways to do that, through the media, advertising and other less-traditional methods.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Domenic Abersa of Barrhaven drops off a bag of food at the Metro grocery store on Strandherd Drive May 19 during Police Week’s initiative to collect items for the Ottawa Food Bank.

The City of Ottawa’s public works department has identified a host of traffic alterations while the reconstruction of the Woodroffe Avenue water main project is in effect until at least the end of July. On May 19, however, traffic was rerouted due to a gas line break in the same area. Woodroffe was closed from Hunt Club Road to Slack Road into the afternoon. The Nepean Sportsplex remained open even though traffic couldn’t access the facility. During the road closures, there was an information technology career fair at the Sportsplex. Organizers were anticipating more than 1,500 job seekers to attend. Along with the work on Woodroffe Avenue, the area to the south will see numerous construction projects, affecting residents of Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South: • To reduce the volume of traffic commuters to the south of the Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South, motorists are encouraged and directed to use Highway 416. This will be accomplished through the deployment of additional communication and signage in advance of these areas. • For cyclists, the city has increased signage in the construction area along with repairs to the road cuts in order to create a safe and designated route both north and southbound. Southbound cyclists will be directed to cross at Majestic Drive to the northbound sidewalk and take the sidewalk past the Nepean Sportsplex. After this point the multi-use pathway is available. Northbound cyclists will be given the option of using the northbound sidewalk rather than travelling around the Nepean Sportsplex pathway system.

• The city has advanced the opening of Strandherd Drive between Prince of Wales Drive and Woodroffe Avenue. • Beginning May 18, southbound Woodroffe Avenue transit priority lane at Strandherd Drive will be opened to general traffic. • Greenbank water main work began May 16. There will be advance signage guiding and encouraging traffic to use Highway 416. Variable message sign boards have also been installed to guide commuters. • Planned works for the Woodroffe Avenue and Longfields Drive intersection have been deferred. • Jockvale Road and Longfields Drive will be opened up for afternoon peak hour traffic and traffic control will be managed by police. • Contractors working on projects within the water ban area are working with the city to accelerate their work and minimize disruption to commuters.

A Manotick student has won a province-wide public speaking award after he cracked up the audience with his satirical speech in French about working at McDonald’s. Grade 11 student Zach De Freitas, who attends St. Mark Catholic High School on the east end of Manotick, participated in the French-only competition which was hosted by the Canadian Parents for French and the Ontario Modern Languages Teachers Association on May 7 in Toronto. De Freitas said he chose his tasty topic because he wanted to write about something that everyone could relate to, and decided to take the stereotypes of McDonald’s fast food to the extreme. For example, his speech talked about how employees sent to clean the bathrooms never use soap, and are asked to save “clean or almost clean” bits of toilet paper from the bathroom floor, because the chefs like to use them in their sauces. Of course, his observations were based on perception rather than fact, and he recognized that McDonald’s restaurants actually have one of the highest ratings for employee working conditions and cleanliness in the country.

“I just wanted to make it as funny as possible,” he said. “I don’t have a hate on for McDonald’s. I love McDonald’s. It’s just a stereotype that everyone clings to even though it’s not true.” He said most of the other speeches at the competition were more serious, touching on “factual” topics and social issues, although there were a few other humourous speeches – notably a lesson on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. The competition, entitled Le Concours/Festival d’Art Oratoire, included students from Catholic, public, and private schools across the province. De Freitas won first prize in the

Grade 11-12 French Immersion category, earning him $1,000 and a spot at the national event May 28 at the University of Ottawa. If he is a finalist, he will receive a $2,000 entrance scholarship to the university. The first place winner in each category gets a $20,000 scholarship, or $5,000 a year, to the school. De Freitas said he’s interested in pursuing commerce at Queen’s University in Kingston, or perhaps political science. He is also involved in tennis, soccer and badminton, and ran to be co-president of the student council next school year. Part of his French skills came from a year abroad living in France.

Wilting summer greenery? Have no fear – a garden guru is helping to make a water ban area easier to live in with some helpful hints and tips for a lusher landscape. The Manotick Horticultural Society hosted a water-wise gardening lecture last week, inviting Ottawa gardener Phil Reilly to the Manotick Arena to teach residents about water-wise design concepts in light of the city’s outdoor water ban. Reilly’s presentation wasn’t specifically about the water ban, but instead focused on the concept of “xeriscaping,” which is the principle of landscaping and gardening in ways that tries to minimize the amount of irrigation needed to keep plants alive. “You can actually reduce the amount of water that you put on your property, if you design your gardens well,” he told the handful at attendees at the talk, which covered everything from plant placement to rain harvesting to effective irrigation methods, all with water efficiency in mind.

One of his major design concepts was “hydrozoning,” which encourages grouping plants according to their water needs and placing them in appropriate locations. For example, areas under the eaves of a house don’t receive much water because they are sheltered from rainfall. Reilly suggests putting dry-loving plants in those areas. “Why am I going to water an area that’s naturally dry? Let’s see if we can design something for that dry area,” he said, pointing to a photo he’d taken on his travels across North America as part of several professional gardening associations. He suggested, for more efficient watering purposes, grouping plants with high water needs all in one spot and plants with medium water needs in another, so that gardeners can maximize their watering with micro-irrigration systems rather than an all-encompassing sprinkler that waters everything indiscriminately. Reilly also talked about the importance of harvesting rain water, and showed several examples of various rain containers. He noted that a one-inch

rainfall on a 1,000 square foot roof can produce 625 gallons of water, or 2,365 litres. Of course, the city-sanctioned 180-litre barrels littered across yards in the affected water ban area can only catch a small percentage of the rainfall, and he suggested hooking up several barrels in a larger system. He also talked about the need to “garden for wildlife,” which aims to create spaces that can support ecosystems of small animals, bugs and birds. A major part of that concept is using native plants, because they are well-suited for the soil types in the Ottawa area, require much less pesticide to survive, and provide food for other animals. Reilly, an environmental biologist by trade, ran a home-based nursery in Kinburn for 25 years, focusing on native plants. He has had his property certified as a backyard wildlife habitat by the Canadian Wildlife Federation. For those looking for more information on these concepts, Reilly will give the same presentation on June 16 at the Court at Barrhaven seniors’ residence on Longfields Drive as part of the centre’s lecture series.

Canadian Tire locations across Canada will be donating $2 from every purchase to raise funds to help enroll children in sport and recreation programs that are financially disadvantaged. The Canadian Tire Jumpstart website states that one in three Canadian families cannot afford to enrol their children in sport and recreation activities because of financial barriers, and that participation in organized sports and recreation programs increases a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance of success in life. Last year, funds raised from Jumpstart Day gave more than 18,000 children, ages four to 18, a chance to participate in sporting and recreational activities. Canadian Tire works with more than 700 organizations and charities to discreetly identify financially disadvantaged children, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, Canadian Parks and Recreation Association and the YMCA.

OPINION

Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week -MAY 26 2011

Water safety is everyone’s responsibility

s temperatures rise, many of us cool off by jumping in the water or going for a boat ride. Whether you dive into a pool, swim at the beach or cottage, or simply take a leisurly boat ride, it is important to keep water safety in mind. Safe Boating Week is May 21-29 and typically announces the start of the boating season. Drinking and boating is just as deadly as drinking and driving. According to the Ministry of Transportation, .05 blood alcohol concentration is enough to have a licence suspended. There is always a drowning risk around water, but children are especially vulnerable. The risk increases in spring as ponds, lakes and rivers begin to thaw and oftentimes, the flow is at its peak. Even though the outside air temperature is rising quickly, it gives a false sense of warmth. The water temperature of lakes and rivers is still dangerously cold. Children are curious creatures. They are often drawn to fast-flowing water but do not understand the dangers that are close at hand. Adult supervision is of utmost importance, and it’s essential no matter how well your

child swims. For children under the age of five, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death. Two-thirds of these drownings happen to those who never intended to get wet in the first place, but they are often drawn to the brink of potential disaster. Unattended children are especially at risk of drowning because they are mobile and very curious. You can plan to reduce the risks of drowning during the months ahead. Stay within arm’s reach of your child at all times in and around the water. Enrol your children in swimming lessons and learn CPR and First Aid. Always use a personal floatation device, like a life jacket, when you are in a boat or a watercraft. Be vigilant – drowning occurs most commonly in swimming pools, just when parents turn their backs for a split second. Install four-sided fencing around all pools, measuring at least 1.5 metres high and include a self-latching and self-closing gate. Raising the awareness of water safety and drowning prevention for parents, caregivers, children and youth is everyone’s responsibility. Be safe. Be water smart.

Why you don’t throw your column into the ring

y former Ottawa Citizen colleague Randall Denley has decided to abandon his newspaper column at least temporarily and run for the Conservatives in the next Ontario election. His opponent, the Liberal incumbent Bob Chiarelli, will be all but drooling as he sees a chance at revenge for the nasty things Denley has written about him over the years, beginning when Chiarelli was mayor of Ottawa. That’s one of the differences between columning and politics. In politics, your opponents can get revenge. In journalism, your opponents can issue a denial, or write a letter to the editor, both of which are less than satisfying. There are other differences, which help to explain why most columnists choose to remain columnists rather than enter politics: — A columnist does not have to smile all the time, or ever. — A columnist does not have to attend ribbon-cuttings and banquets in honour of causes he has never heard of. — A columnist finishes the day’s column and goes home. A politician goes on to the next event. — A columnist rarely turns on the TV to find someone denouncing him on the news.

Barrhaven•Ottawa South

THIS WEEK

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town — When a columnist is not interested in the burning issue of the day, he writes about something else, such as cats. When a politician is not interested in the burning issue of the day, he has to be interested in the burning issue of the day anyway. — A columnist does not have to pose wearing silly hats. — A politician’s enemies scour his previous speeches for embarrassing utterances or signs of flip-flop. A columnist’s previous utterances are safely wrapping fish. — Unless he chooses to write about them, nobody knows anything about a columnist’s family, hobbies or religious views. For a politician, all those things are on public display. — On a good newspaper, a columnist can publicly disagree with the policies of his bosses. Try that in any party caucus. — A columnist is allowed to have a sense of humour. Politicians who make

jokes are immediatley denounced by representatives of interest groups who are offended. There are, to be sure, some similarities in the two occupations. A columnist can dust off an old column on a slow day, and a politician can trot out an old speech. A politician can invent and demolish straw men. So can a columnist. Both politician and columnist develop the art of feigned outrage. Denley said an honourable thing in announcing his candidacy: “As a newspaper columnist you can say: ‘Other people should do this, other people should do that.’ You can’t really do anything yourself. If you’re going to make a difference, you have to get involved in the process.” Some columnists would disagree, saying that they are contributing to the process by influencing public opinion. But it is true that it takes far more courage to become actively involved than it does to stand on the sidelines making pungent comments. Other columnists have made the decision Denley has made. It worked for some of them. Christy Clark once wrote a weekly column in Vancouver and is now premier of British Columbia. On the other hand, Michael Valpy, a Toronto Globe and Mail political writer, ran

unsuccessfully for the NDP in 2000 and returned to the paper where he does not write about politics. Then there is Garth Turner, a business columnist for the Toronto Sun who sat for many years as a Conservative member of Parliament but was tossed from the caucus in 2006 for being too independent, a trait columnists have. Then he moved to the Liberals and was defeated. Another guy who used to write a column: Michael Ignatieff. That leads to the biggest difference between the politician and the columnist: When the readers don’t like a columnist on election day, he’s still a columnist the next day. That’s why most columnists stay put, and are grateful to do so.

Community STAFF Farley Mowat Public School’s fourth annual Mayfair will take place on Saturday, May 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the school yard at 75 Waterbridge Dr. in Barrhaven. Organized by the school council and fully managed by volunteers with community support, the event has come to be a mainstay of the community. This year’s event is lined with fun-filled activities for students, families and the surrounding community. Mayfair will feature various games, a barbecue, a bake sale, library book fair, raffles that include exciting prizes like Kobo eReaders, gift cards, tickets to hockey games and various other prizes from local businesses. The event will also showcase exhibits from various local businesses and community organizations like: Nepean Knights Lacrosse; Bookmobile; Ottawa Fire Department; Ottawa Police Tactical Unit; RCMP - Safety Bear; Canadian National Institute of Health – dental session; Kids N Drugs and nutritionist. The main goal of Mayfair is for the community to come together and have fun. Their second goal is fundraising with a focus on increasing literacy resources. Money raised will be used to acquire additional books for the main school library, classroom libraries and additional re-

sources in French and English to help enhance the learning experience of the students. Over the last three years the event has helped raise over $23,000. “Mayfair is an incredible event that allows our entire community to come together. It’s a day where students can bring their friends and family and just have fun. There is a lot to do and lots of fun to be had while supporting our school,” said Janice Carroll, school council chair. Principal Judy-Anne Brush takes pride in the school’s commitment to embrace the community and the spirit of the school’s namesake and great literacy novelist Farley Mowat. “The support we get from the community in organizing and in participation is heartwarming. The event not only brings out the fun spirit in people but also speaks of their generosity,” said Brush. Farley Mowat Public School welcomes everyone to come and join the fun. Mayfair will be held rain or shine. In the event of rain the activities will be moved indoors. Farley Mowat Public School, located in Chapman Hills in Barrhaven, opened its doors to students on September 5, 2006 and has an enrolment capacity of 582 students and currently serves over 950 students. The school serves students in junior kindergarten to grade six in both the English and French Immersion programs.

‘Girl Guides for horses’ STAFF Barrhaven’s Royal Equestrian Centre will be raising money on May 29 to support an internal program in its infancy stages. The Barrhaven Pony Club allows riders from seven to 25 the opportunity to manage the facility’s stables, partake in field trips and learn the ins and outs of management. After launching on April 25, the non-profit program has 10 participants. District commissioner Emily Bertrand said she’s hoping attract another 10 riders to the “Girl Guides for horses” program by the end of the summer. The cost to join ranges from $155 to $288. “It’s something I would have wanted to do as a kid,” Bertrand said, noting that the club rewards badges for community work and strong work around the stable. “I hope to provide them with experiences I didn’t have as a kid.” All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the club to help purchase textbooks and fund special educational seminars, clinics and field trips. The fundraiser will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2191 Woodroffe Ave on May 29.

Affordability tips for ﬁrst time homebuyers

(NC)—Owning your first home is a milestone as well as an exciting experience. However, many first time homebuyers can be nervous about the process, as they don’t know what to expect or how to make the best decisions. RBC Royal Bank research shows that homebuyers between the ages of 18–34 worry that buying their first home will mean living outside their means. “With the proper advice and budgeting tools you can still live within your means and purchase your first home – you can do both,” said Kavita Joshi, director, Client Strategies. “A mortgage specialist can help you understand all the financial aspects of owning your first home, by offering tailored advice and support.” Joshi offers a number of tips to help first time homebuyers stretch their dollars even further: Determine how much you can afford – before beginning your house search in earnest, review down payment options, household income, current debt, estimated monthly housing–related costs and closing costs.

CREATE YOUR WISH LIST ESTABLISH YOUR DOWN PAYMENT AMOUNT It’s helpful to establish an amount you are comfortable with prior to making your purchase. You’ll be glad to know that there are options available depending on how much of a down payment you can afford. FACTOR IN YOUR CLOSING COSTS It helps to know upfront what your closing costs will be. When calculating closing costs, it’s fairly safe to assume you’ll need at least an additional 1.5 per cent of the purchase price. GET PRE–APPROVED FOR YOUR MORTGAGE If you are unsure you qualify for a mortgage or how much you qualify for, speak with a mortgage specialist who can see if you can pre–qualify, so you’ll know what your mortgage options will be. UNDERSTAND YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS Many ﬁrst–time homebuyers give more thought to interest rates than the mortgage solution itself. While rates certainly have to be considered, the different types of mortgages, various payment structures, terms and

ﬂexibility may have a much greater bearing on your overall costs of homeownership. CONSIDER UNFORESEEN EXPENSES AHEAD OF TIME When you’re buying a home for the ﬁrst time, there are a number of related costs that you may not be familiar with, including: professional home inspection, lawyer fees, land transfer tax, property tax and property insurance. You also should take into account “one–time” costs, such as moving expenses, and ongoing costs, such as heating, electricity and water. BE REALISTIC You may be under–or over–estimating how much you can afford for a home. Online mortgage calculators make it easier to estimate accurately, by providing you with information on the maximum mortgage payment amount you can afford each month. Check your local mortgage specialist or bank for up to date information. LOVE YOUR NEW HOME Once you’ve received the keys to your new home, it will be time to sit back and enjoy every minute of being a new homeowner.

Ottawa wins bid to host women’s world hockey championship BLAIR EDWARDS

GROW THE GAME

blair.edwards@metroland.com

Ottawa has won its bid to host the 2013 IIHF women’s world hockey championship. The nation’s capital has beat out two other cities competing to host the event, announced Hockey Canada today, May 18. The games will be played in April, 2013 at Scotiabank Place and the Nepean Sportsplex. The event will generate $35 million in economic activity, with $20 million from the games and $15 million from the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association provincial championships. A minimum of $500,000 in profit will go to minor hockey programs across Canada. The Ontario Women’s Hockey Association will host its provincial championships during the worlds and will bring more than 500 girls’ teams and 12,000 players of all ages to Ottawa. “Today’s announcement reaffirms my continued commitment to bring world class events to Ottawa,” said Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators hockey club. “We have been strong supporters of women’s hockey for the last decade. The opportunity to host the 2013 IIHF World Women’s Championship is a culmination of that decade-long commitment.”

Mayor Jim Watson and Gloucester South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches share the news that Ottawa will host the 2013 IIHF World Women’s Championship of Hockey. The event will draw thousands of tourists internationally and generate $20 million for the local economy. Hockey fans can purchase tickets to the event by creating an account with Hockey Canada – only 3,000 tickets will be available in the 100 level of the Scotiabank Place arena. “Ottawa is a real hockey town,” said

Michael Chan, Ontario’s tourism minister. “With 21 games over eight days, this is a first-class sports event that will generate local economic acitivity and boost tourism.”

Ottawa’s girls’ hockey minor leagues can expect a boost in membership with both the world championship and provincial finals coming to Ottawa in April, said Jody Thomas, the president of the Kanata Girls Hockey Association. “I think it’s just an enormous and wonderful opportunity for them to see hockey at the highest levels and inspire our players to be the best players they can,” said Thomas, who is also the president of the Ottawa Senators Women’s Hockey Club. Manitoba experienced a growth spurt in girls’ hockey after Winnipeg hosted the 2007 IIHF women’s world hockey championship, said Scott Farley, vicepresident of marketing and events for Hockey Canada. “We expect the same in the Ottawa area,” Farley said. The Ontario Women’s Hockey Association and the Ottawa Senators are looking at providing activities between periods during world championship games for minor league players. “To be part of this hockey festival I think will be a memory of a lifetime for our players,” said Thomas. “I think it continues to grow the game.” Team Canada may feature a few local players, said Thomas, including Jamie Lee Rattray (Kanata), Isabelle Menard (Orleans) and Stephanie McEough (Gloucester).

Raiders improve blue line DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Knowing that stand-out defencemen Zach Carriveau and Grant Telfer would be moving on from the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), the Nepean Raiders looked to their blue line at the draft on May 18. The Raiders used their first pick, seventh overall, to select Nepean native Mitchell Allen of the Ottawa Senators minor midget AAAs at the Earl Armstrong Arena. The five-foot-11, 170pounder led the Sens in scoring from the backend with three goals and 16 points in 28 Ontario East Minor Hockey League games. The Raiders then selected three more AAA bantam blue-liners in the second round – Mathieu Galipeau of the Eastern Ontario Wild, 15th; Michael Constantine of the Sens, 19th; and Mitchell Kellar of the Sens, 21st.

MITCHELL ALLEN Each player will have to return to him minor-hockey team for minor midget. “Good defencemen are just hard to come by,” Raiders general manager and head coach Peter Goulet said. “I don’t like passing up on good defencemen.” Growing up playing through the Nepean ranks, Allen said he’ll cherish playing for his hometown team. “It’s right in my backyard, so it’s perfect,” the 16-year-old said. “Fur-

thering my hockey career with Nepean would be great. “I’m just going to come in and work really hard all summer.” Goulet didn’t want to predict if Allen would crack the team’s openingnight lineup, but believes the future is bright for him. “It’s too hard to predict that right now, he said. “He’s definitely on our radar screen. We think he’s a great young hockey player and a great young man.” In other news, Nepean acquired forward Brandon Lesway and Gloucester’s second-round pick – used to draft Kellar – from Kemptville in exchange for a player development fee and rights to protect third overall pick Blaine Bryon. Lesway has signed with the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers and isn’t likely to play for the Raiders this season. He recorded 28 points in 62 games for Kemptville last season.

73’s take Manotick native 3rd overall DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

As a 15-year-old minor midget player, Blaine Byron only had nine games at the end last season to make an impression with the Kemptville 73’s coaching staff. It’s clear he made his presence felt. The 73’s dealt forward Brandon Lesway – a player who has committed to the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers – and Gloucester’s second-round pick for a player development fee and the rights to protect Bryon in the 2011 Central Canada Hockey League Draft at Earl Armstrong Arena on May 18. The Manotick native was then selected third overall by the 73’s. “We thought he was the best play-making centre in the whole draft,” 73’s general manager and head coach Pat Malloy said. “He’s a dynamic player and was probably one of

BLAINE BYRON the better players during the games he played.” Bryon, 16, posted a goal and an assist during his brief stint with Kemptville. But with the Upper Canada Cyclones AAAs, he finished sixth in Ontario East Minor Hockey League scoring with 48 points while playing all 30 games. The six-foot, 147-pounder said his time with the team last year will help

with his adjustment going into the 2011-12 season. Given that the 73’s finished third last in the 12-team league with a 22-33-2-5 record, Byron will likely get ample chance to play. “It’s a great organization for me to go from a development standpoint,” Bryon said. “I hope I can go in there and see how training camp goes and make the team and hang on from there for the rest of the season.” According to Malloy, that should be an issue. Because the 73’s didn’t have a first-round pick a year ago, they wanted to ensure a quality selection this time. They believe they’ve found their man in Byron. “We think he’ll be a guy who can produce right away.,” Malloy said. “His skill set allows him to be an impact guy. We’re not looking for 100 points from him, but he’ll be in the lineup and play solid minutes.”
