Algonquin College horticultural industries students Dane Clemenhagen and Dakota Fripp showcased a uniquely designed and constructed garden feature titled, A Clean Walk, on March 26, the final day of the four-day Ottawa Home and Garden Show held at the EY Centre. An estimated 30,000 people were expected to attend the event, which featured displays ranging from hot tubs and cooking gadgets to patios and cleaning supplies.

City councillors showed confidence during a February announcement revealing a proposed light rail transit stop on Moodie Drive. But that was somewhat tempered in a public meeting about western LRT expansion in March. More than 75 people gathered at Maki House in the Crystal Beach neighbourhood to hear city staff present a sober report on the city’s plan for a Moodie light-rail stop, and its backup plan, in the event that a Moodie Drive stop isn’t feasible. The city’s plan to extend light rail to Moodie by 2023 as part of LRT Stage 2 hinges somewhat on its ability to find maintenance and storage space west of Bayshore station, planner Charles Wheeler said during the March 22 meeting. “We’re not 100 per cent certain,� Wheeler said of the plans.

A map shows the three locations favoured by city planners for a future light storage and maintenance facility near Moodie Drive to service LRT vehicles. The facility would complement an LRT station on Moodie Drive, and planners say plans for the station might not move forward if the LRT budget can’t cover the cost to build the facility or planners can’t settle on a location.

“The good news is that the conversion from buses to LRT is going to eliminate about 200,000 bus trips in this corridor on an annual basis,” Wheeler said. “So we’ve looked at the air quality of that and we think that the air quality is going to be better.” Wheeler said helping trans-
port 7,000 to 8,000 Department of National Defence employees to the DND’s future headquarters in the former Nortel campus at Moodie and Carling is a priority for the city. Therefore, each of four possible LRT routes from Bayshore to Moodie – and later to Kanata – involves either bus or train access from
the main transit corridor to the future home of DND. The most likely of the three LRT routes has a straight shot from Lincoln Fields to Kanata with stops along the corridor at Bayshore and Moodie stations, and bus connections between Moodie station and the DND campus. See PLANNERS, page 5

Planners to explore options for Moodie park-and-ride Continued from page 4
The other options include variations of LRT diverting from the main corridor to the DND campus or to a station on Moodie Drive located somewhat off of the main corridor, slightly closer to the new Defence headquarters. “The preferred network option is option one, which involves no throw-away capital cost and has the least cost to implement initially,” Wheeler said. “Through riders that are trying to get downtown are also not affected by a diverting the line to DND.” MOODIE PARK-AND-RIDE
Wheeler told residents at the meeting that earlier in March, council approved a motion to look at opportunities for a park-and-ride at the new Moodie LRT station. The motion directs staff to consult the owners of large tracts of land in the immediate vicinity, explore leasing opportunities with the NCC and report back to the finance
and development committee of council by the end of 2017. “That motion was passed by council and we are now at the very preliminary stages of looking at commuter parking at this location,” he said of the future Moodie station. Wheeler said staff would update residents on their progress and outline a commuter parking strategy for Moodie in the next public meeting in June. During a question period following the presentation, residents raised concerns about the city building a park-and-ride on NCC land and about the impact of a park-and-ride on traffic on nearby Corkstown Road. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor also expressed apprehension about a park-and-ride near Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road. “I’m not a huge fan of having a park-and-ride there,” he said, explaining he feels it’s best for commuters to board public transit as close to their homes as possible. “I’m cognizant of the fact that there’s a lot of NCC land here that would be in play, and they’re generally not a fan of

Bayshore station to be expanded if Moodie LRT plan fails Continued from page 5
for LRT Stage 2, Taylor said at the meeting. “One of the very few actual projects that they’ve articulated by name in the budget document … was Stage 2 of Ottawa’s LRT plan,” Taylor said. While Wheeler agreed an LRT stop at Moodie is feasible, he said the inclusion of a crucial light maintenance and storage facility nearby was less certain.
“We’re pretty confident that the LRT extension to Moodie is probably doable within our budget,” he said. “Whether we do that and the maintenance and storage facility is the big question. We will know in spring of 2018 whether one or both of those are possible.” The city is looking at three locations for the critical facilities for light repairs and maintenance of LRT trains: one on the east side of Moodie Drive, just
south of Carling Avenue, and one each on the north and south sides of Corkstown Road, west of Wesley Clover Parks. If city planners determine that the LRT Stage 2 budget can’t cover the cost of extending the corridor to Moodie Drive as well as building a maintenance facility, the Western LRT line will end at Bayshore station. In that case, the city will need to expand the Bayshore station to accommodate more bus
traffic and will put plans for a permanent maintenance facility near the western transit corridor on hold until the Kanata LRT environmental assessment. Wheeler said that if the LRT ends at Bayshore, the station would need significantly more
bus bays to accommodate routes taking travellers to locations west of Bayshore that LRT would otherwise have taken them to. In the interim – without a permanent maintenance facility – the city would use space near

OPINION
Connected to your community
Spring, where are you?
T
here’s lots of possible talking points among friends and acquaintances these days. There’s Ottawa as a sanctuary city, the legalization of marijuana, the fentanyl drug crisis, the flood of refugees, the value of naloxone kits or the plethora of potholes in our roads this year. Lots of serious matters for a person to ponder, to comment on and to argue about. And then there’s Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations, the upcoming Tulip Festival, the Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup run and even the Masters golf tournament, if you want lighter matters in which to engage with friends or even strangers on the elevator. From a patriotic perspective, there are the upcoming Vimy Ridge celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of that milestone battle in Canadian history, an event generally acknowledged as being one of the foundational moments in the creation of the Canadian identity. Imagine the thrill of being there, as many Canadian students will be. So, lots to talk about for sure.
But the topic that seems to be at the top of any chat list these days is, what else, the weather. And these discussions are universally similar — like, just when is this ongoing, up and down winter, going to end. It has been like the Energizer bunny — it just keeps going and going and going! A couple of weeks ago, we moved the clocks ahead. Remember that adage: “Spring ahead, fall back.” Well, we may have sprung ahead but it wasn’t to spring but just to more of the same old, same old — cold winds and snow, with a tantalizing day of springlike sunshine perhaps thrown in, just to tease us. So, where are those April showers? Where are those warm early spring days that rejuvenate you after a long snowy, cold winter and make you look forward to the days to come. Instead, more snow, more cold, more winter. It is getting, we think, to be maple syrup time. This happens as spring breaks and winter is no more. Indeed, there is a reason why maple syrup is sweet — because spring itself is so sweet. But where, oh where, is it this year?

The Junos are a good way of raising consciousness about the musicians we produce, particularly those in the less commercial genres. The celebration should not be allowed to obscure the need for work to be done by artists, by governments, by the corporate sector, and by fans of the music. No matter where it is located, music does not support itself.

Ontario’s math curriculum is failing kids
T
he renewed vision for mathematics education in Ontario cannot come soon enough. In response to glaring evidence that Ontario elementary school students are falling behind in basic math skills, the provincial government announced a $60 million “renewed math strategy” almost one year ago. This after it was discovered that around half of Ontario’s 6th graders are not meeting the curriculum standard. Within the new provincial strategy, students will have 60 minutes per day of protected math instruction. Teachers will undergo training, and new resources have already been made available to parents and instructors to help introduce math concepts at the youngest ages and encourage a positive attitude toward math. Parents can show kids that numbers are everywhere, teaching fractions while slicing up the dessert pie or helping older kids work out sales tax. There are a number of great things that exist in the curriculum currently. New math has been designed to help kids think outside the box — beyond a singular means of coming to an answer, to ideally develop a more complex understanding of math, so they can transpose concepts from one formula to another. That’s all great and I’m sure my Grade 6 son can run circles around me when it comes to breakout math, where numbers are grouped into tens, one hundreds, one thousands, to do a sum. But there’s something missing — rote learning. Think back to those early days of primary school when you felt it was sheer torture to commit sums, then multiplication tables to memory. In my day we started every math lesson with the teacher pointing out the equations on a huge piece of poster board, as kids chanted together and shifted uncomfortably in their seats. These numbers became so habit forming that they are ingrained in my brain. This is not the case for my kids, who do a stop and stare when I ask them to quickly work out 13 per cent on the dollar. My kids get good grades in math. They test high in many academic areas, including complex math and reasoning. But after five and six years in

Special hockey players get treated like royalty by American town by Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
When 15 hockey players with special needs entered Watertown, N.Y., on March 18 the Canadians received a reception well beyond Orléans coach Jeff Kelly’s expectations. “It will be tough to duplicate the experience the kids had on this 24-hour trip,” Kelly, a retired police officer who is the head coach of the team, said. The Special Hockey Heroes players, who play out of the Minto arena in south Ottawa travelled down to play with the minor professional Watertown Wolves and the special hockey team the Rochester Ice Cats. When they arrived, volunteers from the sheriff ’s department met the team bus – borrowed from the Watertown Wolves – and a police escort
led the players through town. When they arrived at the arena, there was an honour guard set up to meet the hockey players, who have a variety of special needs, and welcome them to the rink. They played for 90 minutes with the pro players and 15 players from the Rochester Ice Cats. “It was the most magical 24 hours I’ve been involved with,” Kelly said. “They were just excited from start to finish. They were so engaged with the Wolves players and with the other team. It was like Christmas for them; they knew that they were the star attraction.” The hockey program has always aimed to give the players the best experience on and off the ice, and make the kids feel as close to professional hockey players as they can, with experiences like travelling on a team bus, and having a team

all having a blast being hosted by the American town. Leighton and Jacob’s teammates were just as excited for the chance to go on a road trip, with parents saying they had hard time falling asleep the night before. “He’s definitely excited,” Gabe Caporale said of his son, Massimo, before the team left. Massimo, who has never travelled to the United States, said he was looking forward to the bus ride and to having fun with his team once they get there. Caporale said he couldn’t wait to see the smile on his son’s face once they got to the tournament. Kelly was thankful for all the help the team got in the United States from the people who coordinated the visit, which he hopes to do again in the future. “The kids got to feel like

Both are high-functioning within their respective disabilities, but have found a home with the Special Hockey Heroes, both of their first ever hockey team. “They were just so excited from start to finish,” Miller said. “It was amazing.” Her son Jacob was especially excited when the players came out to dinner, viewing the minor professional players just like NHL players. “It really brings back when people say just go out there and have a great time, don’t worry about winning or losing,” Miller said. “It really does ring true.” While many of the players are of few words, Kelly said it was obvious from the smiles on their faces that they were

ENJOY THE GOOD LIFE Do you dream of owning a home in a respectable upscale neighbourhood, but you don’t have the means to afford one? Or are you an otherwise happy homeowner who is ready to retire from gardening and lawn maintenance? A solution to try on for either case: a condominium!
If you’re wondering if condo living is a fit for you, be prepared to consider a few things. Every condo owner is the proprietor of his or her own unit and owns a share of the common areas, such as stairs, halls, patios, and laundry rooms. All the building’s co-owners must sign a condominium declaration,
a legal document which includes a description of the building, its purpose, condominium fees (for snow clearing, maintenance, and insurance for the common areas), regulations concerning co-owners’ meetings, as well as the powers and duties of the condominium’s board of directors.
There are several advantages to condo ownership: daily upkeep of the condominium property is not the responsibility of individual owners, and together, condo owners can decide to install a swimming pool or other communal equipment that might be cost-prohibitive for any one individual.

VIMY

Anniversary
Two brothers, together forever
N
icole Chénier looks at two faded photographs and wonders what the two men in the black-and-white copy were like. She never met Olivier or Wilfrid Chénier. If the First World War – and the Battle of Vimy Ridge – had never taken place, she would likely have known her two cousins very well. Olivier and Wilfrid were brothers, growing up on a farm in nearby Buckingham, Que. They enlisted in the Royal Canadian Regiment the same day. They served together, and then died together the same day at Vimy at age 26 (Olivier) and 27 (Wilfrid). Today they are buried side by side, beneath the French soil. Nicole, who today lives in the South Keys area, says her father often told stories, but never had much to say about her cousins Olivier and Wilfrid. “I think my dad was too young,” says Nicole. “He didn’t know a lot about them. I think for some reason (the family) never talked about it.” Nicole has an elaborate package of research about the Chéniers (at one time spelled Chené) and the family’s centuries in Canada. The family dates back to the 1600s in France. Despite the 100 years since Vimy Ridge took the lives of more than 3,000 Canadian soldiers, there are still holes in families – and family histories.

Vimy memorial restoration took years to complete
T

This year, April 9 marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. A grateful France granted Canada the land where the Canadian National Vimy Memorial rests. Designed in the 1920s by Toronto sculptor Walter Allward, the monument, which commemorates Canada’s contribution to the Great War, took 11 years to build.

Salvation Army church could be built in airport’s noise zone by Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Concerns about noise fell on deaf ears on March 28, as a city committee approved a Salvation Army church and community centre within the airport operating influence zone — an area where noise is expected to be an issue. The Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport Authority argued the zone shouldn’t contain “noise sensitive uses” such as a church. The site is only 2,500 metres off the airport’s most used runway, said Krista Kealey, director of communications for the airport authority. “Last year, 56,000 aircraft used that runway,” she said. But several members of a city committee didn’t buy the argument. The site is in the South Merivale Business Park, across from the RCMP headquarters in Barrhaven. It is also in the Gloucester South-Nepean ward, and Coun. Michael Qaqish said it’s a delicate file for him.

The airport operating influence zone, which the airport authority argued shouldn’t contain “noise sensitive uses” such as a church, measures roughly 3,850 hectares. “I can’t help but think about the thousands of RCMP employees at headquarters. There was no opposition when it was proposed,” he said, adding while he understands the con-
cerns of the airport, he wants to support the Salvation Army. The proposed 1,670-squaremetre building would have worship space, a gymnasium, a commercial kitchen, meeting
space and offices. Kealey expressed concern that the use would garner noise complaints against the airport, which could result in Transport Canada — the regulatory
body that overseas airports and other modes of transportation — imposing sanctions such as a curfew. Kealey said a curfew could disrupt flight service and impact the long-term economic viability of the airport. Kealey added the RCMP building is at the end of a less busy runway, and argued that the two uses are different. While Qaqish wasn’t swayed, he said his door is open to both parties. He added he hopes they can work out a compromise. “The last thing I want to see is either side take this to the OMB,” he said, referring to the provincial body which hears appeals of municipal planning decisions. Tim Tierney compared the Salvation Army site to the EY Centre. “That’s literally on the airport’s doorstep,” he said he said of the convention and meeting centre. “I am wrestling with why we feel so strongly about this one.” It’s not about the individual application, but rather the integrity of the airport zone, said
Nancy Meloshe, a consultant working with the airport authority. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder made the argument that places of worship have evolved, and the issue is really about community space. “There’s nowhere else in Barrhaven for them to go,” she said of the congregation. Miguel Tremblay, a consultant working with the Salvation Army, said the site is only 133 metres inside the edge of the zone, and in close proximity to residential properties. Tremblay argued office uses are permitted within the airport zone and there’s very little difference between that and what the Salvation Army is proposing. “We can be more sophisticated than just a broad stroke within the area of influence,” he said. The Salvation Army has completed a noise study and its engineer said, with normal construction, the noise will be manageable. Council will get the final say on the application April 12.

Federal budget good news for transit, housing: councillors by Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Ottawa’s wishes for light rail and affordable housing seem to have been granted with the 2017 federal budget. Announced on March 22, the budget includes $20.1 billion over the next 11 years for ambitious transit projects. The first chunk of money — $3.9 billion — will be spent over the next five years. The budget uses Ottawa’s Stage 2 light rail as an example, and Mayor Jim Watson said he’s been assured of the $1.15 billion needed for a 5050 split with the province on the planned extensions to Trim Road and the Ottawa Airport. “Light rail will be a real victory for Orléans,” said Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, adding transit was the biggest “gripe” heard on the campaign trail before taking over the office from Rainer Bloess. “For employers, the concern about the lack of ability to get downtown conveniently was a big issue,” Mitic said, adding he’s already seen eco-
nomic interest in the area as a result of the planned extension for Stage 2 LRT. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said it appears the feds have been listening. “The municipalities have been saying that transit and housing are priorities,” he said. “They didn’t just nod and smile, this budget shows they were listening.” HOUSING
The big city mayors, including Ottawa’s, asked for $12.6 billion for social housing. The budget came in close, with $11.2 billion promised over 11 years. “More important than the dollar amount, was the sustainable, long-term funding we were asking for,” said Taylor, who serves as the special liaison for housing and homelessness issues. The federal budget shows that the only way to solve the homelessness problem in this country is to get to the root. he said. “It’s important to acknowl-
edge that housing-loss prevention is just as important as funding for new units or deferred maintenance,” Taylor said. “You have to treat it like a continuum.” There will be a premium on innovative ideas to solve the complex issues of homelessness, he noted. “We are going to continue to work with the federal government to ensure the money we receive has the biggest impact,” Taylor said. The $11 billion will be broken down into $5 billion for a national housing fund, $3.17 billion in payments to the provinces and territories to be used to fix up existing units, build new ones or provide rent subsidies and $2.1 billion for homelessness support programs such as mental-health and addiction treatment.
helping soldiers re-enter the private workforce after serving. Mitic, who enlisted when he was 17, had never written a resume before. He said the transition includes a lot of unknowns. “I was a sniper, so I didn’t really understand corporate speak,” he said, adding soldiers sometimes need help to understand how their skills are transferable, or what education they may need to seek in order to be competitive in the job market. While the budget doesn’t include any increased spending in defence, Mitic said he hopes there could be some investment in the future. “Our military equipment is rusting out,” he said. “Some of the equipment bought for Afghanistan is now a decade old.” The Royal Canadian Navy struggles to keep up with the VETERANS demand created by the counMitic said he’s happy to see try’s three large coasts, never a $500-million infusion into mind an international presspending on veterans pro- ence, Mitic said.

We need to get deficit under control: Poilievre Continued from page 23
“Hopefully commanders on the ground, in the air and on the water are able to convey to the government what the need is,” Mitic said. OPPOSITION
Conservative Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre also took aim at defence spending. Poilievre said there is pressure for Canada to meet its NATO contribution of two per cent of GDP spending on defence. “Right now we are only at half that,” he said. Aside from defence, Poilievre said the Liberal government is taking credit for Stage 2 LRT spending that was earmarked by the Conservatives. He thinks this most recent budget will be a problem for his constituents, who are concerned about the growing deficit. The budget projects shortfalls of $23 billion for 2016-17, $25.5 billion next year and $24.4 billion in 201819 — an improvement of between $1.5 billion and $2.1 billion since the fall. “The budget comes with a big pile of debt,” Poilievre said. “Which means billions will be spent every year on interest payments.” He said his residents want to see controlled hydro costs, and points to SunTech Greenhouses in Manotick, which had to shut down in March and February due to high electricity bills. “That’s two months where people weren’t working,” he said. Poilievre also took aim at the proposed carbon tax plan, saying it’s a transfer of money from the poor to wealthier Canadians. “People who pay a higher percentage of their income on heating, food and hydro will pay more,” Poilievre said, adding they won’t be able to take advantage of things like rebates for electric cars. “No one working retail making minimum wage is buying a $150,000 electric car,” he said.

Students wrapping up 10-month Canadian Nuclear Laboratories project Staff
A group of five mechanical and electrical engineering students from Algonquin College is approaching the end of a 10-month project driving the development of safety technology for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories.

The sweet smells of spring
A
udrey said it was nonsense. Spring didn’t smell any different than any other time of the year. And she practically yelled out “smell”. She was in a bad mood because her best friend Iva couldn’t come over that Saturday morning, because she had extra chores to do. But I knew for an absolute fact that the arrival of spring brought with it a special smell in the air. Mud. I could smell mud. It wasn’t an unpleasant smell, but once the snow melted and the ground was wet, I could smell mud. Especially in our long lane where the melting snow had left deep ruts in the narrow road. And I would know spring would be soon upon us from
MARY COOK Memories the smell. And there were other signs too. Just into the new year, Mother would have received her packets of vegetable seeds, ordered from the Steele-Briggs catalogue, and little slat boxes would be sitting all over the house. And I could see sprigs of vegetables pushing up, and
what would be flowers coming through the earth. I would put my nose as close to the little plants as I could get without touching anything of course, and I would smell Spring. Some of the little flat boxes would be in the parlour, which would still be closed off for the winter to save the heat
from the Findlay Oval, which had to warm the whole house. Mother said some of the little plants had to be in a cool spot, and the room would take on the sweet smell of growth. The smell of spring. Once the winter was broken, Mother would tell Audrey and me to open the upstairs windows when we were doing our Saturday morning chores. Even though there was still a bite in the air, Mother ordered the windows open while we stripped the beds, dusted the furniture and the floors, and turned the feather mattresses. And wafting through the open window was the smell of spring I soon learned not to tell Audrey the air coming inside smelled differently than it did all winter. But to me it did. And where I noticed it more than any other place, was when I went into the part of the barn where the sheep were kept. New
lambs were arriving regularly, as they did every spring. How I loved to spend time in the barn at that time of year. I could smell the wool. To me it had an odour all its own when winter was breaking, and not like the wool on the sheep when they were full grown. And I would think it was the smell of new birth ... the smell of spring. Even the Northcote school began to smell differently. Galoshes weren’t needed anymore, and the boys big rubber boots were exchanged for high top running shoes, so the smell of wet socks was no longer there, and the school took on a ‘cleaner’ smell, enhanced because Miss Crosby would have started leaving the door open for a spell when morning classes began. Sap boiling on the Findlay Oval, filling the kitchen with the sweet smell of spring, even
when all the snow had yet to melt in the back yard. And one day I made the mistake of scooping up a small handful of mud at the back door and Emerson saw me. He ran right into Mother to tell her I was eating it. Which was a barefaced lie. All I wanted to do was put it to my nose. To breathe deeply its musty scent. And I would sit on the back stoop and look at cleared patches in the yard where the snow had melted, and every day the patches would grow, and I knew soon the last of winter would be gone. And I could see spring all around me, and I could smell it. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

After getting a local start with the Orléans Bengals, former Ottawa Gee-Gees football player Kevin Kelly will be inducted into the football hall of fame at his alma matter. On April 29, Kelly – a threetime All Canadian offensive lineman who now teaches at a school in Barrhaven – will be one of three players inducted as the 2017 class into the GeeGees Football Hall of Fame at the team’s annual Touchdown Dinner. “Whenever you look up the definition of what an Ottawa Gee Gee is, you would find it next to a picture of Kevin Kelly,” said former teammate Kyle Kirkwood, who spearheaded Kelly’s nomination. “Not only was he successful on the field, he was a leader off it as well.” Kelly played with the GeeGees from 2003 to 2007, winning Ontario University Athletics All-Star and All Canadian awards in 2005, 2006 and 2007. He also led the team in
yardage in the 2006 season when the team won the Yates Cup, the Ontario championship title. When Kirkwood put the message out to former teammates that he wanted to nominate Kelly, he said he got about 25 letters of recommendation. “It was really a no-brainer for me to put forward his name and an even bigger no-brainer for them to select him,” Kirkwood said. “He was the backbone during a very successful era.” They gave Kelly the news in January at a dinner organized at a local sports bar. The alumni committee surprised Kelly, seated alongside a table of people who had written nominations for him. “The fact that my teammates and former coaches took the time out of their busy lives to pen a letter about me really touches my heart,” Kelly said. The provincial championship is what Kelly said stands out in his mind as the best moment of his football career.
“That was a special moment for anyone that was a part of that team,” he said. “I had played for four years, and that was the culmination of many early mornings running sprints.” He said during his time at the University of Ottawa, coach Denis Piche emphasized that academics had to come before athletics. Kelly said he was lucky to be able to realize the importance of focusing equally on academics, and went on to complete his bachelor’s degree and masters of education degree while also acting as a volunteer coach with the GeeGees for a season. Now he’s pursuing his passion of coaching youth, teaching at St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven and the Ontario East team for the Fox 40 Prospect Challenge. He’s always been drawn to football because of its unique ability to include any player, of any shape and size, as an important part of the team. “It’s a sport where a 300-pound offensive lineman can stand next to a 150-pound
Submitted
Kevin Kelly and son, Everett, getting into the Gee-Gees spirit early. Kelly is being inducted into the Gee-Gees’ Footbal Hall of Fame on April 29. quarterback, and they both bring so much to the game.” The team reunion is the part he’s most looking forward to when it comes to actually receiving the hall of fame award. “More so than the actual accolade, I’m excited to see many of my former teammates and coaches,” Kelly said.
“I’m hearing some rumblings – we’re looking at a group of about 30 guys that will probably find a way to relive their 20s.” And, despite being inducted into the hall of fame in his 30s, he won’t be stepping away any time soon. “I can’t imagine having a fall go by without football in it,” he said.

Zoe (ID# A199506)
Microchipping: Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.
Meet Zoe, a friendly degu looking for a home with her four sisters.
Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.
Relative newcomers as pets, full-grown degus are about the size of a pet rat, with a long tail, large eyes and mouse-like ears. They are highly social animals and are happiest when sharing their habitat with other degus. Zoe and her sisters Zara (ID# A199503), Billie (ID# A199502), Nina (ID# A199504), and Eloise (ID# A199505) have been together their whole lives and are looking for a home together.
The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and the next one is coming up on April 9. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or email microchip@ottawahumane.ca.
Zoe (ID# A199506)
Degus don’t like to be handled, but do enjoy human companionship. Their antics, often accompanied by excited chittering or gentle coos, can keep you entertained for hours. Do you have room in your home for Zoe and her sisters? For more information on Zoe and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Do not worry so much about what others think of you, Capricorn. You have been traveling down the right path for some time, and others recognize that you have your act together.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A big opportunity is mentioned in passing this week, Aquarius, and you begin to mull over the possibilities. This may be the right time to strike while the iron is hot.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you have been waiting for some sort of compensation, this could be the week that it arrives. Remain patient and that patience will ultimately be rewarded.
