Sports - Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon organizers are already predicting the fastest marathon time on Canadian soil, with the event attracting the “best field ever” of elite runners.

One athlete expected to make an attempt at the record, Kenyan runner and Kenyan MP Wesley Korir, stopped off at Bell High School in Bells Corners on May 7 to speak with students enrolled in a unique long-distance running program and take them for a brief run about their track.

A 2012 Boston Marathon winner, Korir has a personal best time of two hours six minutes and 14 seconds.

Champion long-distance runner and member of Kenyan parliament Wesley Korir leads Bell High School students in a run after speaking to them about becoming a long-distance runner on May 7. Korir will be competing in the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25.

News – Barrhaven will have its own chartered Kiwanis club sometime this summer if all goes according to plan.

“This past winter we put together a number of interested parties that are interested

in putting together a Kiwanis club in Barrhaven,” said Philip Rossy, who until recently was the Lt. Governor of Kiwanis clubs in eastern Ontario, and is currently running for higher office in the organization.

Kiwanis is an international service club that helps communities and children through volunteering, community work and other

projects.

Residents of Barrhaven have been attending Kiwanis meetings in either south Nepean or Manotick, but have thus far been unable to work directly within their community. “(Barrhaven) is definitely underserviced, with a population of over 100,000 and there is currently no Kiwanis service club,” said Rossy.

‘I had to run to do everything:’ marathoner Continued from page 1

During his visit, Korir shared the story of how he got into running, which had nothing to do with winning marathons at the time, said Bell High School teacher Karen Kurlicki who introduced him.

Korir did not start off as an aspiring athlete, she said. He ran because he had to. “When I grew up, running was part of me,� Korir told students. “I had to run to do everything.�

Korir’s family was poor. He grew up without shoes, and often went without food. But he ran everywhere: to school and back home, to fetch food or water or do other errands for his family every day. “I didn’t know that was preparing me for my future life and passion,� he said.

But running wasn’t his only necessity, he said. He felt education was as well.

However, in Kenya, high school costs $350 a year, an amount his family couldn’t afford. “That’s nothing when you are here (in Canada),� he said, but in Kenya, the average dai-

Korir snuck into class for the ďŹ rst couple weeks, but was eventually found out and forced to leave.

That didn’t stop him, he said. Korir would sit outside classroom windows, trying to gain any knowledge he could, until a missionary teaching at the school saw him and de-

cided to help.

Using his wages from teaching, the missionary paid for Korir’s schooling.

He graduated high school and went to college in the U.S. through track scholarships, and graduated with a degree in biology.

Later, the help he received from the missionary and his

love for the sport of running served as the inspiration for the Kenyan Kids Foundation.

HAVING A CAUSE

Korir attempted to pay back his missionary friend the money it cost to send him to high school. The missionary refused, and asked instead

that Korir help another child who wanted to go to school.

Korir began by helping one child, and now, through the foundation, he is helping hundreds attend school.

Having the goal of helping kids go to school has improved his running, he said. “If you run without a purpose, without a cause, you are chasing the wind, and you can’t catch the wind,� he told students at Bell High School.

That idea was a big concept for Kurlicki’s students, she said.

The school’s long-distance running program is essentially preparation for a 10-kilometre race exam. The school also teaches a course on exercise science studying major inuences on a person who becomes a major athlete. “A lot of the kids do both programs, so you’ve got these really academic kids who are also training and have realized what they are capable of doing, and the contribution that they can make into their communities through racing,â€? she said. “It sort of opens their eyes to what can be done not just for themselves, but for the

community as a whole. So it’s just a very important moment for them, I think, to have him here with us today.�

Before taking a quick run with the students, Korir encouraged them to ďŹ nd their own cause, and “change the world.â€?

OTTAWA MARATHON ELITE

With Korir taking part in the Ottawa Marathon, there are three elite competitors who could break the fastest marathon-on-Canadian-soil record of two hours seven minutes and ďŹ ve seconds.

The fastest is Yemane Tseguay of Ethiopia, with a personal best time of two hours four minutes and 48 seconds, followed by Bazu Worky, also from Ethipoia, with a personal best time of two hours, ďŹ ve minutes and 25 seconds.

Korir is next in line with his personal best time. “Ottawa is going to be an incredible competitive ďŹ eld,â€? said Korir in a press release. “It will give me an opportunity to compete and try to win the race. My ďŹ rst goal is to win the race.â€?

Major school bus company quits city service Three new operators to replace Stock Transportation Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Despite the imminent departure of one of Ottawa’s largest school bus companies from the city, thousands of English public and Catholic school students won’t be stranded come September, says the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

Stock Transportation, which has operated in the region for at least 23 years, and the authority couldn’t come to an agreement late last month on a second one-year extension of a five-year contract. The authority manages contracts on behalf of school boards, which, in turn, receive funding from Ontario’s Ministry of Education.

The authority offered a two-per-cent increase for English public school busing services and no increase for Catholic transportation.

But Stock asked for a nearly seven-per-cent increase for the upcoming school year to “attract and retain the best possible professional school bus drivers,” said Molly Hart, Chicago-based spokeswoman for National Express Corporation, which owns Stock Transportation.

The authority refused, and the bus company served its 280 Ottawa staff, including support staff, safety and maintenance personnel and 265 drivers, on May 5 with layoff notices effective June 30.

“Minimum wage in Ontario is increasing by seven per cent alone and the gap between minimum wage and the wage paid to our Ottawa drivers has been shrinking steadily over the past several years,” Hart said. “And our drivers would have received a substantial increase had we been able to reach an agreement.”

The increase would also have helped offset the costs

of purchasing, operating, maintaining and fuelling the buses, Hart said, noting a 51per-cent hike in gas prices in Canada since 2009, and a 25per-cent spike in the purchase price of new buses in the last 10 years.

“The operating environment in Ottawa has become too challenging due to the severe disconnect between what operators require to deliver service and what the Ottawa Student Transportation Association can pay for these services,” Hart said, adding that though Stock is closing up shop in Ottawa in June, the company is not shutting the door completely on future business opportunities in the city.

After Stock declined the offer, the transportation authority signed contracts with three new operators which will take over Stock’s 193 routes.

Direct Transportation Logistics will provide wheelchair buses, Roxborough Bus Lines will transport students in Osgoode and Metcalfe, and take on routes in Orléans, while Campeau Bus Lines will take on 111 routes in central and eastern Ottawa and Barrhaven.

The authority has also resigned First Student Canada to provide school buses on another 350 routes.

Stock’s departure shouldn’t worry parents of children on the affected routes, said Vicky Kyriaco, general manager of the transportation authority.

“We are working well with Stock and the operators to transition as many drivers from Stock’s employ to the new operators, so in September we expect that the same driver will be operating the same route,” she said. “It’ll just be a different name on the bus.”

The authority’s initial contract extension offer was for two per cent (for one year) and that reflects the (Ontario

Stock Transportation and the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority could not agree on a contract for the upcoming school year, bringing an end to the company’s services on 193 English public and Catholic school routes in the city. government’s) grant for student needs,” said Kyriaco.

That increase was available from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, though “they’re still in a deficit situation,” she said, adding there was no increase available through the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

“So we have some financial limitations that we have to operate within,” said Kyriaco, who declined to discuss contract details, citing confidentiality issues.

But the association representing smaller, independent school bus operators says the Ministry of Education is creating instability in the industry, the reason why Stock should be applauded for walking

away from the contract offer, and “finally saying, as a company, (that) we cannot operate in this market, these rates will not allow us to run a safe operation,” said Karen Cameron, executive director of the Independent School Bus Operators Association, which has members in Ottawa.

Smaller companies don’t have the ability to refuse the contracts.

“These operators, if they walk away, they’ve committed suicide,” Cameron said.

“They have one customer typically and it means their mortgage. The Ministry of Education has absolutely destabilized this industry to the point where it’s almost not even viable.”

For the coming school year, the Ministry of Education is providing “a projected transportation allocation of $883.5 million that includes a two-per-cent increase to help boards manage increased costs,” said ministry spokesperson Gary Wheeler. “This formula is used for all 72 boards across the province.”

But the fragility in the industry is about more than the bottom line, because it is jeopardizing student safety, Cameron said.

“Drivers are the single most important safety feature on the bus and so what you want is long-standing drivers

who know their kids, know their routes and know the procedures,” she said.

“What this kind of instability does is it drives the longstanding drivers away,” she said, adding that high driver turnover is likely to ramp up due to an unstable industry.

“They’re already getting paid minimum wage, and if you’ve got to start tightening the belt even more then you’re not going to pay them for things you used to pay them for.”

The Ministry of Education remains committed to helping school boards provide “safe, effective and efficient” busing for students, Wheeler said.

Kiwanis eyes four Ottawa locations Continued from page 1

“We are in the process of chartering that club and have submitted the application and we expect to get charter approval within a month,” said Rossy.

“The current governor, from Jamaica, she will be making the trip up for a charter evening in late July or early August.”

The Barrhaven expansion is not the only Ottawa neighborhood that Kiwanis is eyeing.

“We have targeted four to five potential areas in greater Ottawa and eastern Ontario for growth,” said Rossy who mentioned the possibility of new clubs in Stittsville,

Kanata, North Dundas and Aylmer, Que. as well.

Michael Qaqish has been active in the creation of the proposed Barrhaven club. He has been selected as the president-elect of the new club, pending a formal meeting to be held June 16 at the Barrhaven legion.

Along with selecting a president, a treasurer and a secretary, the meeting will look at what types of projects the club will undertake within the community.

Qaqish says a room at the Barrhaven legion has been reserved for meetings of the new club every third Monday of the month.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your social responsibility

S

ha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry/â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bout tomorrow Hey, hey, hey If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old enough to remember that 1967 song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ideals, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis.

For a host of reasons, the majority of baby boomers failed to plan adequately for their retirement. Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past age 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more troubling that the next generation of Ontarians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get past todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial obligations to set a little aside for a secure tomorrow. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents. There simply is no extra money for a nest egg.

Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to explode into a full-scale financial crisis. Almost 1.3 million workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new jobs are being created by small businesses that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer a pension plan for employees.

At the same time, many Ontarians just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saving for retirement. Experts say you need 50-70

per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but many Ontarians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet this target.

The bigger cause for concern is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sticking our heads in the sand and pretending it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening. Employers and workers must be encouraged to take responsibility for their financial futures. Government and business agree that fixing Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change.

The Canadian Association of Retired Persons is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree more.

The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of pooled registered pension plans to Ontario workplaces and we think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right way to go. Both employers and employees contribute to the plans, that are managed by independent financial professionals. They should follow a working Ontarian from job to job. Inadequate financial preparedness should be socially taboo. We need our young people to buy into the idea of retirement planning.

They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

Bidding a fond farewell to an Ottawa institution

L

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrass Jay Stone completely and call him an Ottawa institution.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my excuse for writing about a longtime friend, retiring after more than 40 years in daily newspapers.

To clarify: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa institutionâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean bad Ottawa institution, like the Senate or Lenny the Lynx; it means good Ottawa institution, like beavertails or the Mayfair Theatre.

Jay has been writing about movies in the Citizen for the last 20 years. His stuff has been consistently smart, funny and entertaining and readers are going to miss it when he retires at the end of this month.

Ottawa is full of people who, although they may never have met Jay personally, want to see what he says about a movie before they decide to go see it.

In any city, a critic has influence. A good review can bring people out to see a movie or buy a book; a bad review can sink a restaurant or a play.

Good critics are aware of their power and use it wisely. Bad ones just want to make a reputation.

Good critics have a love for their subject, be it food, literature, drama or film. Bad critics have a love for themselves.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town It goes without saying that Jay Stone is a good critic and has been ever since he started writing about movies full-time in 1994. I think that what distinguishes his writing, and makes him the best in the country, is that he has never lost his enthusiasm for movies.

Most critics inevitably tire of the thing they write about. They get so that they have read too many books, seen too many movies.

Everything bores them. They become obsessed with technique â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with camera angles, set design, whatever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they lose the ability to react emotionally to a moving story, to laugh at a funny line.

Reading their stuff, you can almost see them dragging themselves out of bed in the morning, dreading the prospect of seeing another damn movie.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that from Jay, never have.

I can bet you that when you read his last review in a couple of weeks it will be fresh, it will be respectful without being gushy and it will show a real effort to come to grips with what the filmmaker was trying to do.

(Aside to Jay: donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me down on this.)

Having a respect for movies should not be confused with loving all movies uncritically.

Stone devotees always look forward to his one-star reviews, where he unleashes the full range of his considerable comic scorn on a movie that truly deserves it. But, interestingly, there are not many of those, just as there are not many five-star reviews â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a handful over the years. He reserves the onestars for the truly awful and the five-stars for the truly great. The great majority of movies are neither.

By the way, early on Jay didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use stars, thinking that they oversimplified matters.

The star system was imposed on him from on high, to his discomfort, but it at least gives his readers the opportunity to savour the fives and the ones.

For Jay, respecting a movie means that you approach it on its own terms. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a summer big-explosion movie, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dismiss it because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like big explosions.

Instead you try to figure out whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good explosion movie or not. Does it succeed in what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to do? The same goes for rom-coms or Iranian art films.

Famously, Jay gave four stars to the 1994 movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, because, in his mind, it succeeded in what it was trying to do, whatever that was. Less famously, he has, on rare occasions, aimed genuine anger at movies he considers exploitive and dishonest.

He has served the movies well and, more important, his readers. What the heck: five stars.

Want to help the environment? Stop protesting pipelines

I

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been following the headlines lately, you may know that there has been a lot of public protest against TransCanadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed Energy East pipeline.

The Council of Canadians spent several weeks in April touring northern communities and holding public forums under the catchy title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our risk, their reward.â&#x20AC;? The idea is that Canadians are meant to risk the environment for oil that will ultimately end up being shipped abroad.

The Council of Canadians, however, is leading us astray.

Every time their employees send a text message on their cellphones or travel by bus to a Northern Ontario community, they are undermining their own cause. Using computers, printing posters, wearing clothing, purchasing office furniture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these are all things that are manufactured abroad. And guess what? Canada can and should provide that oil to make the goods as long we Canadians continue to buy them.

I recently interviewed Grant Smith, chief executive officer at Braemar Adjusting in Calgary, for a national magazine article on the subject.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse He points out that, with 95 billion barrels of oil consumed globally each day, the world has a growing and insatiable thirst for hydrocarbons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody wants the oil and gas community to provide the hydrocarbons and the stuff we need, and people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really reducing consumption of those products, no matter how green they are,â&#x20AC;? he told me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet our infrastructure is getting older and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using green argument to block the construction of new pipelines.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally agreed within the industry, itself, that pipelines are the safest means of transporting oil and gas.

Could they be safer? Yes. The technology exists to make pipelines out of stainless steel that would be less prone to cor-

rosion. The technology exists to double wrap pipelines so if there is a leak, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be devastating.

But we would all, as consumers, have to be willing to pay for that at the gas pump, when we purchase food, when we buy all the things that have become necessary to our every day existence. Do you want to see your grocery bill quadruple? Are you willing to pay $150 per litre to fuel your car? Can you stomach higher bus fares and more expensive technology?

In the meantime, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pipeline infrastructure is aging.

Pipelines take a long time to construct. The longer we delay the construction of new pipelines, the more potential for incidents and not just in pipe-

lines. Oil and gas companies will get their product to market as long as there is demand for the product. If pipelines arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even if they are -- they will use rail infrastructure (also aging) and marine transport, including across the Great Lakes, to get that product to market.

When I see people protesting pipelines for the sake of the environment, I want to whack them over the head with a palm leaf. Canadians should have a say about where the pipelines are going and whether the environment is a topmost concern, but unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to go live in mud huts as subsistence farmers they should be work-

ing in collaboration with the oil and gas companies, not simply protesting.

Energy companies spend an extensive amount of time and money to monitor, report and repair their existing infrastructure. They take risk management incredibly seriously. They also take the environment seriously. They are held to strict regulatory standards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the reasons there has been an increase in pipeline incidents over the past decade is because of more extensive monitoring and reporting.

Energy companies also have a lot of capital. It could be argued they are best positioned to innovate in the area of green

energy. They are continually investing in fuel efficiency testing, for one. But they are also spending good sums of money to examine alternatives to the hydrocarbons for which we all thirst. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the end of pipelines, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take a paradigm shift in our consumer culture to do that.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe me, see if you can find out how much energy it takes to create your mobile phone, from mining in Africa to manufacturing in China. In the meantime, as friends of the environment, we need to stop protesting something that has the potential to make oil and gas transport safer than it is currently.

Community organizations take the stage during Doors Open Ottawa 2014

By Jenna Guilbeault

The Bethany Hope Centre, the Youville Centre and Waupoos Family Farm are three local nonproďŹ t organizations with two things in common.

First, they are community organizations that focus on helping various at-risk groups in the Ottawa area.

Second, they will be opening their doors to the public this year during Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual architectural exploration event, Doors Open Ottawa (DOO), taking place June 7 and 8 across the city.

The Youville Centre, at 150 Mann Avenue in Sandy Hill, has been around for 27 years. It strives to help young mothers by providing a quality education, good nutrition, encouragement and support to both mother and child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mandate is to motivate, educate and nurture,â&#x20AC;? says Heather Heagney, the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Communication and Community Developer.

To date, the centre has helped approximately 800 young mothers, serving 48 women at a time and seeing an annual graduating class that averages 20.

But the Youville Centre doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only serve mothers; it also offers weekly support groups and individual counselling for young fathers.

This is the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year participating in Doors Open. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within close walking distance of other event participants such as the Embassy of Algeria, Diane A. GagnĂŠ Financial Services and Laurier House National Historic Site.

Heagney says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to increase our visibility in the Ottawa community so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inviting people to come and see the work that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? ........

At its new location at 820 Woodroffe Avenue, the Bethany Hope Centre strives to help young women and their children who have both ďŹ nancial and educational challenges.

Mainly supported by the Salvation Army, the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community services focus on health, nutrition, early childhood development, education, counselling and practical supports.

Major Brenda Coles, spokesperson for the Bethany Hope Centre, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a year since the centre relocated and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really proud of our new facility. We used to be on Wellington

Street in a 100-year-old building, and through the sale of that we were able to totally reďŹ t and renovate this new site into a place really designed for young parents and families.â&#x20AC;?

The Bethany Hope Centre offers daily activities for kids as well as courses for mothers and fathers that help empower them as parents.

This will be the ďŹ rst time the centre opens its doors for the annual event celebrating Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historically, culturally, functionally, and architecturally signiďŹ cant buildings. Says Coles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of light and warmth, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ rst thing people will notice.â&#x20AC;? ........

Heading further south, the Waupoos Family Farm provides vacations for low-income families that are unable to afford a getaway.

The farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent organization, the Waupoos Foundation, originated in Picton in 1975, and was founded by Father Fred Magee and friends. The Oblate Family Farm facilities on Waupoos Island expanded to the Ottawa area in 1980, taking up residence at 2050 Rideau Road in the former municipality of Gloucester.

The organization is a Christ-centred community integrating prayer, work, and play in activities while providing both full-week vacations and weekend breaks to families that meet the lowincome criteria.

Lee-Ann Garcia, who works at the farm, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot to offer. We organize bingo nights, movie nights, game nights, crafts and wagon rides for the families. Doors Open coincides with our summer kick-off, so that weekend weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have lots of activities planned and the farm animals will be out for the public to enjoy.â&#x20AC;?

Now in its 13th consecutive year, Doors Open Ottawa welcomes the public to visit 130 buildings for free during the two-day event. Either guided or self-guided tours will be offered at each building, and representatives will be present to answer any questions. Environmentally friendly transportation options are available. The free Doors Open Ottawa Shuttle Bus, sponsored by the Ottawa Citizen, will travel within proximity of nearly 50 sites, and Ottawa Cycling Tours is offering guided and self-guided Doors Open Ottawa themed tours. It will be a weekend full of discovery!

Cop celebrates second chance in life with eight-day trek Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Const. Andrew Rosbrook celebrated his second chance at life by starting an eight-day trek from Ottawa to Toronto.

Rosbrook was within sight of the finish line during last year’s annual spring marathon in Toronto when he collapsed.

He woke up later at St. Michael’s hospital hours later to learn that he had suffered from cardiac arrest.

It was the alarmed scream of a fellow runner as Rosbrook hit the ground that drew the attention of Det. Laurie McCann, handling traffic detail nearby.

It took an off-duty physician, a paramedic and a paramedic in training to save his life. The paramedics were armed with a MIKEY defibrillator and administered the shock to the chest that started his heart after he had been without a pulse for five minutes.

Rosbrook said after his second chance at life he wanted to do something worthwhile.

“I think we need to raise awareness,” he said. “A MIKEY defibrillator saved my life. But a lot of people are

afraid to use them. In my case I was dead so I couldn’t have been worse off.”

Rosbrook is an avid runner, so he thought it would be apt to make his fundraiser a marathon that will end where he was supposed to finish the marathon a year ago.

“The organizers of the Toronto marathon are going to give him a completion medal a year after the race,” Rosbrook’s mother Anita said.

“We are very proud of him.

He is really doing something with the second chance he was given.”

MARATHON

Before the cardiac arrest last year, Rosbrook had run a variety of marathons, halfmarathons and ultra races – anything over 42 kilometres.

“I think he has been a runner since he was five or 10,” Anita said.

On the first day of his eight day journey, Rosbrook started at Parliament Hill and then made stops at Hunt Club Road and Riverside before ending the day in Kemptville.

“I am taking it slow and pacing myself,” he said, add-

ing he was keeping a clear mind and watching the local architecture and countryside roll by as he ran.

He said he planned to stop every 20 km along his route before hitting the finish line in Toronto on May 12.

Rosbrook said he feels he owes it to himself to spread the message about the importance of defibrillators.

“I will run, walk, crawl or stumble 60 to 70 km a day to the finish line of the race that nearly ended my life last year,” he said.

Const. Andrew Rosbrook runs along River Road on May 5. Rosbrook was running the New Life Mike Marathon – 470 kilometres from Ottawa to Toronto – to raise awareness about the need for public access to automatic external defibrillators.

Brush up on your nutrition habits for your teethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Canadians practice bad habits on a daily basis. Often, these habits have been so ingrained into our routines that we rarely think twice about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually doing and how it affects our health.

Dr. Janet Tamo, a consulting dentist for Crest and Oral-B, along with registered dietician, Christine Asik, teamed up recently to discuss nu-

trition and oral care. They both agreed that our most common and misunderstood bad habit is the overconsumption of liquid calories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sugar-sweetened beverages such as pop, iced tea, lemonade and even many 100% fruit juices are packed with sugar, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain any ďŹ bre so wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ ll you up,â&#x20AC;? said Asik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research also shows that those who over-consume these

high sugar beverages are at greater risk of being obese and developing diabetes.â&#x20AC;?

These sugary drinks can wreak havoc on your teeth too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to eliminate everything bad from your diet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we all need to indulge once in a while,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Tamo.

Dr. Tamo and Christine Asik share these tips on how to break common bad habits related to nutri-

tion and oral care. Rather than drinking juice, get your recommended daily servings of fruit by eating whole fruits, and drink water between meals.

Make it a priority to practice good oral care habits daily to help prevent plaque and tartar build-up that can lead to gingivitis.

Blackburn to run for second term as Barrhaven trustee Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News- Barrhaven public school trustee Donna Blackburn is gearing up for her second campaign.

Blackburn was initially elected as the representative for zone three - which covers the municipal wards of Barrhaven and Knoxdale-Merivale in 2010.

Before her tenure in public service she served on the parent councils at Barrhaven Public School and Cedarview Middle

School.

In the past three years there has been $40 million in capital investments to Barrhaven-area schools. That includes a new Chapman Mills Elementary School, a new addition to Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School, which will soon be constructed, and a new elementary school in Half Moon Bay. CLASSROOM SPACE

The board has also made

funding available to construct additional classroom space at John McCrae Secondary School and money to repair the roof at Cedarview Middle School.

Blackburn has also worked with staff to redistribute the boundary for John McCrae Secondary School.

She was also a member of the Ottawa-Carleton Assembly of School Councils.

Blackburn said she was proud of her work to get a school for the Barrhaven neighbourhood of Half Moon Bay a school.

“I also initiated the board’s participation in the Capital Pride Parade,” she said.

Blackburn is the board’s first gay trustee and has been an advocate for LGBTQ rights advocacy in Ottawa schools.

She said she plans to continue to representing her students and those of the city as a whole.

Blackburn said in addition to focusing on academic success, she is happy to see the board consider the student’s well being.

“It’s about caring for the whole student,” she said.

Premier draws battle lines on first day of election trail Wynne helps Ottawa South MPP John Fraser launch campaign Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Though she didn’t put on a pair of pink boxing gloves she was presented with until after her speech, Premier Kathleen Wynne came out swinging during her first stop in Ottawa on the first day on the provincial election campaign trail.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Ontario New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath and Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Tim Hudak were her primary targets on May 7, when she helped Liberal MPP John Fraser launch his campaign for re-election at his OttawaSouth riding headquarters at 1652 Bank St. Under the Liberals’ jobs and growth plan, Wynne said she will invest in skills and

Premier Kathleen Wynne puts up her dukes after being presented with a pair of pink boxing gloves from taekwondo martial artists training next door to Ottawa-South MPP John Fraser’s campaign office on May 8. training, transit, and infrastructure to build and renovate schools and hospitals, roads and bridges.

“And Stephen Harper doesn’t like it, but we will create our own provincial pension plan to ensure that Ontar-

io workers can enjoy a secure retirement,” Wynne said, before dozens of supporters, including Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, OttawaCentre MPP Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and Marie-France

Lalonde, Liberal candidate for Ottawa-Orléans.

“I think it’s what the people of Ontario deserve after they have worked hard, to be able to expect a decent retirement security,” Wynne said.

The premier and Fraser

both applauded former premier and long-time OttawaSouth MPP Dalton McGuinty, who did not attend the campaign launch.

“It’s a riding with such a rich history of representatives that we can all be proud of, especially Dalton McGuinty,” Wynne said. “We owe him a debt of gratitude.”

Fraser, who won the riding in a byelection 10 months ago, said he is extremely proud of “what we accomplished together,” including expansions to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Ottawa Hospital, improved transit, stronger schools and mental health and addiction programs.

“By any objective measure we are light years ahead of where we were,” Fraser said.

Wynne said Ontario needs a leader who is prepared to go “toe to toe” with the prime minister on issues such as economic development in northern Ontario and being short-changed on federal transfer payments.

“The people of Ontario need to ask themselves, will Tim Hudak stand up for Ontario if it means having to

stand up to Stephen Harper?” said Wynne, adding that Hudak can’t be trusted to confront the prime minister when they share many of the same values, ideals and policies.

A vote on June 12 for Fraser and Wynne would mean a vote for “jobs and growth, so it’s easier for people to buy a house and pay the bills and save for post-secondary education,” she said, warning Ontarians that a vote for Hudak would result in cutbacks that “would lead to a low-wage, low-growth future.”

The premier also blasted the New Democratic Party for not having a job plan.

“They have no answer to the big questions about economic recovery. They are literally making it up,” Wynne said.

Calling Wynne’s plan “fair, practical and balanced,” Fraser said it would lead to “jobs and a strong economy, a worldclass health-care system that will be there when you need it, investing in infrastructure so we can keep our economy and our families moving, and support for our seniors – the very people who built this community.”

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Arlene Dickinson headlines Entrepreneur Week event Julia Le

News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepreneur in today’s economy.

Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of five venture capitalists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented by Metroland Media Group.

It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr, Kanata from 7 to 9:30 a.m.

Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs from June 2-13. Joining Dickinson for this special event as the entrepreneur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president and chief executive of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that, he spent 20 years as the president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd. Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the successes of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy.

“The event is a celebration of Entrepreneurship Week and to showcase our community entrepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy.

It is also a great opportunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amazing entrepreneurs - Arlene Dickenson and Jeff York,” said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary. “It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our community and economy. Not only are these amazing people building successful businesses but they give back O’Leary said local residents don’t have to look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing

business success stories such as the Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Ottawa Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the Myers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.”

Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur.

The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy.

“Balance is very personal.

It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, adding that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice.

“I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.”

PASSION FOR ENTREPRENEURISM

Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children.

Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business person.

Her success and leadership has been recognized with multiple honours and awards including: Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100, the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, as well as PROFIT and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners.

She is also chief executive

of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedicated to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

“A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,” said Dickinson, who never received a university education, but has learned about business by taking risks and figuring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way.

Learning from mistakes Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them.

“For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with SUBMITTED building and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the Arlene Dickinson will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series presented day, you have to be able to by Metroland Media Group June 9 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. look deep within yourself to figure out where you’re help- and the Northern Alberta In- connected to our communities what they do.” and Arlene allows us to showTickets to the breakfast ing the company, figure out stitute of Technology.

RESILIENCY IS KEY

“Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it.

You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

City to consider advancing roundabout build laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city’s transportation committee has given weight to the Manotick Village and Community Association’s concerns about short-term thinking fouling up a plan to ease the travel of north-south traffic on First Line and Prince of Wales.

The committee directed city staff to consider building a roundabout to connect First Line Road to Prince of Wales Drive sooner than 2031 – which is the earliest the city planned to build it – instead of installing a traffic light at First Line and Bankfield Road as a short-term solution to improve traffic flow.

The community association agrees that the long-term plan to add a new, three-legged roundabout to connect First Line Road to Prince of Wales Drive south of Bankfield Road would improve traffic

flow in the area. But a shortterm solution already on the books could be a “fly in the ointment,” said association president Klaus Beltzner.

As early as 2015, the city plans to budget money for a new traffic signal where First Line currently meets Bankfield. That would solve the short-term problem of getting people from First Line Road to Bankfield in order to connect with Prince of Wales to continue on their journey north. But the traffic signal would eventually need to be taken out after 2031, when the roundabout is planned to be built as part of a larger project to re-align Greenbank Road.

Spending money on that traffic signal now just means the city farther away from the long-term solution it wants: the roundabout, Beltzner told the transportation committee on May 7.

“Implementing the signal-

His argument got a boost in the form of a motion from Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt. The committee supported Moffatt’s plan to ask city staff to look at advancing the construction of

the First Line-Prince of Wales roundabout by re-allocating the money for the traffic signal to the roundabout project.

Moffatt also asked city staff to consider the impact on Viewbank Road, which could be seen as a convenient cut-through for motorists if they are stuck in traffic on the new Greenbank Road. “(Viewbank) is not much more than just a little path through the rural area,” Moffatt said. “We need to discourage that cut-through.”

Staff was directed to consult with residents on that street to see what types of traffic mitigation measure could be put in place.

GREENBANK REALINGMENT

The First Line-Prince of Wales roundabout is being built in addition to a larger, four-legged roundabout at the Prince of Wales and Bankfield.

The roundabouts are part of a larger plan to realign Greenbank Road sometime after 2031, but the study was expanded south to the Prince of Wales corridor to account for the impact of residents coming to approximately 1,800 new homes in the Minto Mahogany development.

The study looked at how to accommodate new devel-

opment planned for the expanded urban boundary in the area.

Engineers recommended the extension of a realigned Greenbank Road as a fourlane arterial road from Cambrian Road to Barnsdale Road, including pedestrian and cycling facilities.

The plan would also see the southwest Transitway extended on the median of Greenbank Road from Cambrian to a terminal station and park-and-ride lot located on the east side of Greenbank, north of Barnsdale Road.

The chosen alignment, which is straight, makes it compatible with the streetgrid pattern that’s planned for new communities along the corridor.

The city’s plans indicate a preference for a more “urban” street pattern of a grid, as opposed to the old style of curving suburban streets and cul-de-sacs.

Barnsdale would get cycling facilities between where it currently intersects with Greenbank and where the future alignment would be located, to the east. Greenbank’s intersections at Barnsdale and Prince of Wales would be improved.

The city would have to acquire 11.1 additional hectares of property along the route to make the plan work.

The entire project would cost an estimated $61 million if it was built today, but the cost in the future will be higher.

Sensplex-type arena possible for Ottawa south Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city is considering whether partnering with a company is the best way to get a new recreational facility built in Riverside South.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches has been championing the idea of studying a public-private partnership for a new rec centre, which got the finance and economic development committee’s nod on May 6.

The centre would be a larger, district-level recreational facility that would serve the larger area, including Leitrim and Greely. The area will become home to thousands more people before the city gets around to building the rec centre, which is in the community design plan for the area, Desrroches said.

“It’s still several years out.

We’re seeing a situation where the growth is putting pressure on existing facilities,” he said.

“This is a way I think we can get going on a facility sooner rather than later,” the councillor said.

A recreational facility of that scale could cost more than $60-million to build, Desroches said.

“It’s a big-ticket item,” he said.

Partnering with a private company also alleviates some of the ongoing budget pressure of operating a recreational facility, since the partner company helps take on that responsibility, he said.

“If we want to try to deal with the pressures on our budgets, we should be looking at innovative ways to deliver city services,” he said.

There are already three similar “P3” recreational facilities in Ottawa: the Bell Sensplex in Kanata, the Cavanagh Sensplex in West Carleton and the Richcraft Sensplex in the east end, set to open this August.

The partnerships are innovative, Desroches said. They offer programming and ice availability from everything from little league ringette to men’s and women’s hockey leagues.

Desroches said the city has seen success through those partnerships with the Capital Sports Management Group, which is owned by Senators Sports and Entertainment. But if the city chose to pursue a P3 to build a new rec centre, it would go through a competitive bidding process.

“It’s a little early to identify a partner,” Desroches said. “I

think we need to see if this is a concept that has viability. I think it does. Given the success we’ve seen in other areas, the model should work in south Ottawa.”

It’s unlikely the city would find a partner willing to help fund building a pool, which is a costly endeavour, Desroches said. The facility would likely have at least two ice rinks – or more, if the partner company was willing to put up the money. The city hasn’t made detailed plans of what the facility could include.

Residents in the community – especially fellow hockey parents – have been asking Desroches about when a new facility might be coming. The area’s development is now at a stage where the need is becoming more urgent, Desroches said.

“The goal is really to build a community that’s sustainable, (so) that we have the services and the facilities within the community so that people don’t have to travel outside the community to do this,” he said.

“My first priority when I was elected was to deal with the roads and the transit and the bridge. Now it’s time to start on the next chapter, which is the recreational services.”

Base your fitness resolution on knowledge

Street name fame The Barrhaven Legion was presented with a copy of the ‘Barry Helman Cres’ street sign by Coun. Steve Desroches, far left, on May 1. The photo was presented to branch members Ray Desjardins, top left, branch president Ernie Hughes (seated), Gus Este, Ed Schelenz, David Sereda, and Dave Cole. Retired major William Barry Helman CD, who passed away in January 2013, was a Canadian Forces and Korean War Veteran and member of the Barrhaven legion.

News - As the calendar flips to a new year and we wave goodbye to 2012, many Canadians will use the celebration to make a personal resolution and, hopefully, wave goodbye to old habits.

When it comes to predicting the success of these personal promises, a 2012 study at the University of Scranton indicates this will be challenging for most Canadians.

The study discovered the top resolution is to lose weight and/or make a healthy self-improvement.

And, out of the 45 percent of people who make a New Year’s resolution, only eight per cent will fully accomplish it—with 39 percent of people experiencing “infrequent success.”

But that doesn’t mean you should return the workout clothes you received for Christmas or cancel the recently purchased gym membership. Greek philosopher Plato reminds us that “a good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.”

To increase the chance of triumph, three leading Canadian fitness experts share their ‘knowledge’ to help this year’s resolutions become a success story, not a number.

David Patchell-Evans, the founder and CEO of GoodLife Fitness, has 33 years’ experience helping people achieve their fitness goals.

With 750,000 members, GoodLife’s enthusiastic founder has many tips, but the first one that comes to mind: “Get friends and family on-side with your resolution.

“A workout buddy serves many purposes when it comes to fitness motivation,” said Patchell-Evans. “They provide comfort for people who might be entering a fitness club for the first time, they’re a great referee on the days when your motivation is wavering, and most importantly, they’re your cheering section when you begin to see results.”

For the 16 percent of Canadians who have already joined a gym or fitness club, their resolution may be to take their fitness routine to the next level.

Rod Macdonald, the vice president of canfitpro, the largest provider of education in the Canadian fitness industry, explains that one of the keys to success is enlisting professional help.

“Increase your support group. Hire a personal trainer, let your favourite group exercise instructor know about your resolution, and tell as many friends about it as possible,” Macdonald said.

Lisa Belanger, an exercise physiologist and doctoral candidate at the University of Alberta, says a third tip is to “make an emotional connection to your resolution. Keep reminding yourself the reasons for your actions to keep you going. For example, ‘I am going to the gym to stay active and keep up with my grandchildren.’ Or ‘I’m eating more vegetables to avoid getting heart disease like my mother.’

Sports - It was an icy finish for the other National Ringette League teams who had to play against Ottawa, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national champions.

Not much gets past the Ottawa Ice team, which won the annual championship, held this year in Regina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our trademark, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always told the girls, is as long as we play good defense, and are tough to play against, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always be in every game,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Al Bateman.

The annual national awards, given on April 12, the last day of the competition, backed up their defensive game.

The top defence award went to Old Ottawa Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jenna McBride. The top goalkeeper award went to Carleton Place native Tori Goble, who lives in Old Ottawa South currently.

McBride also played with the Canadian national ringette team this year, and went to the world championships, but her home team has been the Ottawa Ice for eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a top-end player everywhere sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played,â&#x20AC;? Bateman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just continues to develop, she gets better every year.â&#x20AC;?

Goble has played with the team for the past five years, and impressed her coaches this year by continuing to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just continued to develop at her position,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time we got to the end of the week at nationals, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was a better goalie than Tori.â&#x20AC;?

Bateman has some personal bragging rights as well. He, along with his three assistant coaches Jon Love, Jodie Connolly and Erin LePage, were awarded the coaching staff of the year honours.

The awards were a bonus for the Ice, which already had won the gold medal game.

The NRL is a league for the best players out of minor hockey, with most first-year players starting at age 19.

National Capital region players are drafted to one of three teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa, Gloucester and Gatineau â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would be the professional league for ringette,â&#x20AC;? Bateman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the best players, in the best league.â&#x20AC;?

The players sign a contract that means they play exclusively for the Ottawa Ice, with an exception made for playing for the national team.

Other teams in the NRL include Cambridge, Edmonton, Richmond Hill, Calgary, Montreal and Waterloo.

Ottawa has been on an upward trajectory in the league. They won the bronze medal in 2012 at nationals, and got beat out in the playoffs last year. The head coach credited it to a strong base of veteran players, and quick development by the newer, younger players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a nice development,â&#x20AC;? Bateman said.

‘I will tell him I love him’ Father of teen accused of murder says son may have mental illness Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – Days after his wife’s funeral, the father of the Orléans teen accused of murdering his mother appeared at an Ottawa courthouse on May 7 to support his son.

The court appearance of Christopher Gobin, 18, via video from the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, was the first time Jacques Gobin had seen his son since his wife, Luce Lavertu, was killed.

“I’m supporting him by being here ... and by seeing him this Friday (May 9),” he said.

“I’m still his father, so I’ll act in a father capacity even though I’m also the spouse of the victim.”

When Jacques discovered his wife’s body in their Avalon home on April 22, and later called 911, Christopher wasn’t at home.

The Orléans teenager was later arrested several streets away from the home, after

Jacques had been removed from the scene by police.

Jacques arrived at the courthouse with his mother and a family friend.

The Orléans man did not want to comment on the case, but said his son’s friends who had recently told media Christopher had mental health issues were correct.

“His friends’ comments are correct. He had been struggling,” Jacques said. “I’d like to think that there is an illness … (but) this will come through the judicial process.

What I can tell you is that my wife, his mother, did love him very much.”

Jacques was scheduled to visit his son two days after the court appearance.

There is a processing time for visitors to be put on an approved guest list before they can see inmates.

Jacques said that he, as well as Christopher’s sister and grandmother, will be able to visit him at the Innes Road jail.

“This was the only opportunity I’ve had to see my son.

It is very hard, of course, to see him this way,” he said.

Jacques said Lavertu was the love of his life, and he is “very much still grieving” her loss.

They met while he was stationed just outside Quebec City, his first army posting.

The family later moved to Ottawa, in the Avalon area in Orléans.

Christopher is a student at St. Peter High School.

Jacques said the family is extremely thankful for the community support and BRIER DODGE/METROLAND prayers, as well as services he’s received as a member of Jacques Gobin speaks with reporters following his son’s video court appearance on May 7. the army.

Jacque’s daughter has received support from the English Catholic school board psychologist and is doing well, he said.

News - In Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper spends the summer singing away.

When the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the hungry grasshopper must ask the ant for food.

It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough money away for retirement, it could soon become a reality.

According to a Sun Life Financial survey, one quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from. ”There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a matter of reaching out to a financial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global Investments.

Retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement.

What’s the best way to do that? Start early is the common refrain: A 21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65.

Though those in their 20s may not have much money for investments, between paying off school debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial decade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean.

And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save. ”People in their 30s are not necessarily thinking about retirement,” Crean said.

“They should be, but they are probably just thinking about raising their kids, edu-

But no matter how tight the budget, the most important rule to investing for retirement is to, well, just do it. “ ”Everyone should be doing something,” said Crean, stressing that sitting down with a financial advisor can Òhelp you rest easy at night. ”If you have $2,000 to put away I think most people would look at that and say, ‘that’s not very much. Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say

yes, absolutely.”

For most people, though, investing for retirement depends on a lot of variables. ”If you’re a teacher and you have a defined benefit

pension plan that has indexing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent income at retirement, you may

not need as much money in the bank to augment or complement that income,” Crean explained. ”Other individuals without a pension will need a significant amount of money in RRSPs (and other investments) to generate the kind of income required at retirement.”

One recent study, however, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grasshopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net.

A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April

argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada.

The study, titled The Reality of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the traditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/ QPP, and voluntary pensions such as RRSPs, overlooks trillions of dollars in assets held by Canadians.

Those assets are held in the form of home equity and other savings and largely undocumented support from family and friends.

Tsunami of retirees to hit the system over next 20 years Continued from page 33

Other research paints a different picture on people’s retirement plans.

BMO Financial Group in March released a report that suggests most Canadians plan to depend on the CPP after their working lives.

The survey showed 90 per cent will look to the CPP in retirement, while 88 per cent will bank on RRSP savings.

Close to 60 per cent will hold a part-time job to fund retirement while 49 per cent plan to sell their homes.

Thirty-four per cent responded they are hoping on a lottery win to get through their golden years.

But those tasked with overseeing Canada’s pension distribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk.

Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Security with the average monthly payout less than $600.

With a tsunami of retirees flowing through the system in the next 20 years, government officials anticipate a burden on social programs as more people rely solely on CPP. Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch,

Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of education and lack of opportunity for investment as key culprits. ”About 50 per cent of the population doesn’t have a private pension plan. A lot of people aren’t utilizing the room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said. “All this has an impact, ultimately, on our

social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.”

Backed by various organizations calling for action, the Liberal Government in Ontario, with NDP support, set out on introducing reforms to supplement the CPP. ”We want to provide more opportunities, more choice and more availability for residents to supplement their

“That was way to easy!”

pension,” Sousa said.

Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, financial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a financial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retirement should be a priority for everyone. ”Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey. “But people just fail to plan.”

Break bad habits for a better lifestyle News - Bad habits tend to accumulate like drops in a bucket.

They are the little things we do daily that add up and ultimately impact our overall health and wellbeing.

To reveal bad habits that are common today, and how to turn them around to make

positive changes in our lives, Dr. Janet Tamo, a consulting dentist for Crest and Oral-B, plus fitness expert, Kathleen Trotter, met recently to share their thoughts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inactivity throughout the day is one of the habits I see most often,â&#x20AC;? said Trotter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people drive to work,

search for the closest parking spot to the entrance door or sit in front of the TV for hours after sitting behind a desk all day. There are so many quick and easy ways to integrate activity into your day without sacrificing valuable time with family and friends.â&#x20AC;?

Trotter recommends in-

tegrating exercise into your routine with these examples: â&#x20AC;˘ Bike to work instead of driving. â&#x20AC;˘ If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to do so, park at the end of the parking lot and walk. â&#x20AC;˘ Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much, get off the elevator

early and walk at least one flight. â&#x20AC;˘ Do some resistance exercises with an exercise band or exercise ball while watching â&#x20AC;˘ Schedule and commit to weekly walking dates with your family or a friend.

Dr. Tamo echoes this advice when discussing oral health habits with her patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of factors that contribute to having a

healthy body, including exercising and eating right, but many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that taking care of their teeth and gums can be just as important,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of my patients are physically fit, but struggle with dental plaque buildup, which may lead to more serious oral health issues if left untreated.â&#x20AC;?

Top canines compete in Ottawa Iron Dog competition Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - With tails wagging and fur flying, one of the largest police dog seminars in Canada ended with a K9 competition to find the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top dog.

The Ottawa police service hosted the largest Canadian Police Canine Association seminar in the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, with more than 100 of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top dogs attending on May 1.

The seminar, which aimed to have K9 units across the country share their training and experience, took place over four days at the Bonnenfant Centre in Dunrobin. The seminar wrapped up with the Iron Dog competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an intense obstacle course for dogs and their handlers which took place at the Connaught Range and Primary TrainADAM KVETON/METROLAND ing Centre in Kanata.

Dozens of dogs and their partners A police dog and his partner grimace as they crawl through a section of the Iron Dog competition at the Connaught Range and Primary Training waded through muddy water, crawled Centre in Kanata on May 1. through pipes and made their way over various other obstacles, often with handlers having to lift and coax their canine counterparts through some parts of the course.

But all of that is part of the daily routine for K9 unit officers and their dogs, said Ottawa police Sgt. Jamie Soltendieck, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K9 program co-ordinator and one of the main organizers of the seminar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun event that we put on usually at the end of the week so the dogs can get out and burn up some energy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all stuff that you encounter on a daily basis when you are work6 2** /(") /-,1 Executive ing in operations with your dog.â&#x20AC;? *$3 1(-, Though competition is friendly, SolTownhomes 6 -%%$/$# (,(,& --+ tendieck said everyone there is out to $(*(,& Feature: be â&#x20AC;&#x153;top dog.â&#x20AC;?

The seminar was likely a success thanks to the instructors who came out, said Soltendieck. While instructors from across the country came to lend a hand, many from the U.S. came as well.

The seminar offered several training opportunities including medical training for major canine trauma, the use of newly developed camera technology for police dogs, narcotics and explosives tracking and more.

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean

National Day of Honour As part of Canada’s National Day of Honour, it was my great honour to participate in a number of events throughout the City to commemorate the services and sacrifices offered by our soldiers who worked to bring stability and security to Afghanistan during Canada’s 12 year mission.

Along with Mayor Jim Watson, I was pleased to be able to meet participants of the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay, a six-day relay from Trenton to Ottawa involving individuals who were injured in Afghanistan. Meeting these men and women reminds us of the courage that our soldiers showed during their time in Afghanistan and the courage they continue to demonstrate as they meet the day to day challenges of living with their injuries.

It was also a great honour to represent the City of Ottawa at the Royal Canadian Legion Barrhaven Branch 641 at a dinner to welcome the Canadian soldiers who came back and to remember those who did not. Thank you to all the Legion members who worked to make this evening a special tribute. Lest we forget.

McHappy Day Success I would like to thank everyone who visited McDonald’s on Wednesday, May 7th in celebration of McHappy Day. This year, I was pleased to be able to help crews at the Fallowfield Rd. McDonald’s and the new McDonald’s location in Findlay Creek for the annual fundraiser.

McHappy Day is a very special fundraising day at McDonald’s in support of children’s charities.

Traffic calming around Farley Mowat Public School The City of Ottawa will be piloting a traffic calming initiative on a portion of Waterbridge Drive between Oldfield Street and Cresthaven Drive. Waterbridge Drive is a collector road with a posted School Speed Zone. The project, which will run from May until November 2014, involves the introduction of centerline paint markings combined with the use of temporary flex stake signs in the centre of the roadway.

Construction in Barrhaven I would like to advise residents of a number of construction projects in our community this spring and summer. Work on the Jockvale Bridge continues and residents can expect to see the bridge open for use this summer. Woodroffe Avenue between Chapman Mills Drive and Cresthaven Drive is closed temporarily until June as part of the redevelopment and upgrading being undertaken by Minto.

Construction will begin shortly on Chapman Mills from Woodroffe Avenue to just west of Beatrice Avenue as part of the Bus Rapid Transit and is expected to end by October. As part of the upgrades to this corridor, traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Clearbrook Drive and Chapman Mills Drive. I would like to remind residents to continue to drive safely as you make your way through our community and to exercise extra caution as you navigate around these projects.

Please contact me if I can be of assistance.

Riverview Park resident Augusta Eve, left, and Emma Crouch go head to head during wrestling practice with the National Capital Wrestling Club at St. Patrick’s High School on April 26. Eve, 17, will compete at the Junior Pan Am Championships in Toronto in June.

Ottawa wrestler to compete at Pan Am championships Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - Augusta Eve latches on to Emma Crouch’s arm, pulling her in close before throwing an arm around her neck.

The competitors release each other, before once again tentatively moving in closer, each

vying to gain the upper hand, moving at lightening speed to force the other down on the mat. “(Augusta is) always fighting to the end,” said Deborah Jehu, a coach with the National Capital Wrestling Club, which trains out of St. Patrick’s Catholic High School.

“And that’s really what makes it between somebody who’s going to be successful or not,” Jehu said of the 17-year-old who is in Grade 12 at Hillcrest High School.

The skills Eve has built up in the four years she has wrestled with the club and at her high school culminated in a stellar

season this year that has allowed her to compete at the Junior Pan American Championships in Toronto, from June 27 to 29.

The championships will see athletes, born in 1994 and 1995, come from across North, Central and South America.

Wrestler combines athletics, school and part-time job Continued from page 42

Eve was born in 1996, but is being allowed to compete, and she expects to face some tough competition on the mat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the youngest and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m probably smaller than a lot people â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause most people cut a lot more weight than I do, because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to lose very much,â&#x20AC;? said the Riverside Park resident, who stands at just over four-foot-11 and weighs in at 44 kilograms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already small.â&#x20AC;?

Earlier this year she claimed gold at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championships and juvenile provincial gold.

Eve also earned bronze against an older, heavier opponent on the university tournament circuit, which allowed her to shop for universities and wrestling clubs as she prepares to graduate from high school.

McMaster University has offered her a scholarship, and Eve has her eye on the University of Toronto, also for chemical engineering studies. The University of Ottawa, which she is considering, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a wrestling program.

If she stays close to home, she may return to the National Capital Wrestling Club as a coach. But for now, her focus is on the competitions ahead, including the Canada Cup in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is fun to just roll around with people and take them down and to be able to do that in a safe environment,â&#x20AC;? said Eve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the technical aspect.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty analytical and I like learning how to do everything, like trying to improve on my techniques.â&#x20AC;?

She is focusing on perfecting her game plan, and how best to earn points on the mat. To win, a wrestler must earn 10 points more than an opponent, or pin them, or have more points when the two, three-minute rounds end.

Though she spends just six minutes on the mat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grueling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough though, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going hard,â&#x20AC;? Eve said.

But because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a highly technical freestyle wrestler, she is a force to be reckoned with, adapting easily to her opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She definitely enjoys taking her shots,â&#x20AC;? Jehu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knows her opponents and can think ahead of time what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to do.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had fun,â&#x20AC;? the Greenboro resident said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the podium shots from this year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always smiling.â&#x20AC;?

This is what motivates him to successfully combine wrestling training four days a week with school and a part-time job as a baker-in-training at Loblaws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homework comes first,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Walker is planning to attend Carleton University in the fall to study game design.

Though Carleton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a wrestling program, he hopes to return to the National Capital Wrestling Club and coach others, and perhaps compete in some university tournaments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not looking towards the

Olympics or anything like that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how much you have to sacrifice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put your entire life into it.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for a family; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for a proper job.â&#x20AC;?

Still, Walker is known at the club for being dedicated to his sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he gets in the ring, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just super focused,â&#x20AC;? Jehu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also very set on never giving up the point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyone even gets an advantage on him he scrambling, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving, always trying to get the advantage and get the point.â&#x20AC;?

Still, for Walker, wrestling is all about fun and friendship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to survive if I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having fun,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sports - Five more names were added to a list of accomplished, proud Ottawa athletes and sports figures on May 7 at city hall.

Among them was Orléans resident Tom Casey, a sportswriter, who was surrounded by his family and five grandchildren.

The names were added to the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame at the official induction ceremony.

Casey was joined by football player Wayne Giardino, speed skater Kristina Groves, sledge hockey player Todd Nicholson and touch football icon Ed Laverty.

“We love celebrating the sports icons and special moments in sports history,” said hall of fame board chairman Dave Best. “One way is by inducting new members every year.”

He thanked all of the athletes for making their city proud, and being great leaders in sport.

Many alumni of the hall of fame were present for the ceremony, and helped present the plaques to each of the award winners.

“It’s great to see so many of our alumni,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who also recognized football player Moe Racine, alumni, on his induction into the CFL Hall of Fame. “To tonight’s inductees, you are certainly deserving of the honour; we’re bursting with pride. You brought a sense of pride to the entire city, and

for that, we are eternally grateful.

Thank you for the commitment to your craft, to your sport, and to your city.”

Watson was presented with the game ball that the RedBlacks will use in their first ever game by Ottawa Sports of Entertainment Group’s Bernie Ashe, which will be used in opening kick off in July and donated to the hall.

The evening was MC-ed by Ken Evraire, former CFL player.

Ed Laverty was inducted to the awards for being a community builder.

Laverty has worked for the development and growth of touch football for years, and been a player, administrator, leader, and ambassador.

He helped build the Ottawa Nepean Touch Football League, which has now grown to more than 1,900 men and women.

During his acceptance speech, his daughter, Tammy Laverty, briefly took over the microphone from her humble father, and told the audience how hardworking and dedicated her father was – and reminding them that he also put in his time on the field as a player. She said he put his heart and soul into the game, and never looked for any recognition.

He still continues to play on the same recreational team as his daughter.

Audrey was very fearful of not passing Entrance Class

A

udrey prayed a lot.

Of course, she was much older and much smarter than I was, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why.

Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine.

Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and changed into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill.

As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim.

Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said “amen” in unison, we headed for our beds.

But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course two praying at the same time for the same thing,

MARY COOK Memories she convinced me, had much more power than just one of us asking for a special blessing.

The fact that the prayer had nothing to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said, that counted.

And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed.

We had it drilled into us over many Sunday school classes, and long and purposeful prayers from our whale of a minister as he flailed his arms from the

pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things was right up there with stealing chickens.

I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like Marguirite, but I figured God would take into account my young age and forgive me.

And of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discretion, and I figured it was just between God and me.

But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs.

“Make sure your eyes are

closed,” she whispered, as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes.

Then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to graduate from the Entrance Class.

There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances.

And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would graduate from the Northcote School.

This of course, would go on

for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were praying for.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrified my sister.

One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class.

Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother?

Goodness knows there was

enough to keep busy at on the farm: the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be readied.

And besides, lots of the older girls, when they finished at the Northcote School, would go off and get married if they passed or not.

Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out.

Then she told me, almost in a whisper, as if she was telling some dark secret.

“Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the Entrance Class?” she asked.

Health Benefits of

Lemons

Burn!

Lemons are the simplest way to give your body a FRESH START. The 5 top benefits of adding lemons to your next meal include:

Eating frequently throughout the day, approximately 5 to 6 meals a day, has proven to be the most effective way to burn fat. Not only will it help you burn calories all day long, it will increase your energy levels, accelerate your muscle growth, and speed up your metabolism.

1. Supports Immune Function:

2. Alkalizing: Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid which easily metabolize in the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood.

3. Digestion: Lemon juice stimulates hydrochloric acid in the stomach further aiding digestion. Vitamin C status has been associated with reduced risk of peptic ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

4. Clear Skin: Vitamin C combats free radical damage, which is responsible for many symptoms of aging.

5. Promote Healing: Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage.

Lemon Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash Pasta Preparation Time: 10 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 cup 1 medium spaghetti squash ¼ cup vegetable stock 1 tsp minced garlic, divided.

1 cup celery, diced 3 ½ cups fresh tomatoes diced 1 cup yellow tomato or pepper

½ cup Kalamata olives 1 tsp lemon juice, fresh 2 tsp lemon zest 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Slice spaghetti squash in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and place squash cut side down on a parchment lined sheet pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until squash is able to pull away from sides in strands. In the meantime, in a large sauté pan, add the vegetable stock. Add the garlic and celery and sauté for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer cooking for 10 minutes. Next add the remaining tomato or yellow pepper, Kalamata olives, lemon juice and lemon zest. Once the squash is ready, pull all the “spaghetti” flesh from the skin and place the cooked squash on a serving platter. Top with tomato mixture, garnish with parsley and season with sea salt and pepper.

By not eating small frequent meal throughout the day, your body goes into starvation mode. When this happens your body assumes that it won’t be getting food again for a while, so instead of burning the food you eat, it will store it as fat.

You can prevent your body from going into this mode by eating within an hour of waking up and then every 3 hours after that.

Ascorbic acid demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms.

Pan roasted asparagus trout and potatoes make easy dinner

Shred it Rain couldn’t stop Riverside South resident Mike Rogers from attending the Ottawa police and Datashred Security’s free shredding event in south Ottawa at the South Keys Park and Ride on May 4 to celebrate the end of tax season.

Lifestyle - Tender-crisp asparagus teams up with thinly sliced roasted potatoes and trout in this simple one pan dinner.

Rainbow trout usually has the skin on. If you prefer skinless, have them remove it at the fish counter.

Preparation time: 10 minutes.

Cooking time: 30 minutes.

Serves four.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

INGREDIENTS

• 3 potatoes, peeled, halved and thinly sliced (about 750 g/1-1/2 lb) • 50 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper • 25 ml (2 tbsp) fresh lemon juice • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh dill • 10 ml (2 tsp) grainy mustard • 1 clove garlic, minced • 500 g (1 lb) rainbow trout fillets, cut in 4 pieces • 500 g (1 lb) asparagus, trimmed

Avoiding housework in Renfrew Continued from page 45

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Toss the potatoes with 15 ml (one tbsp) of the oil and a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, dill, mustard, garlic and the remaining oil,

salt and pepper and set aside.

Place the fillets, skin side down, on top of the potatoes.

Arrange the asparagus on the trout. Pour the lemon dressing over everything and return it to oven and roast for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, the trout flakes easily and the asparagus is tender-crisp.

Her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end.

And then she said, again in a whisper, but with a kind of sharpness in her voice that I rarely heard: “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.”

She let out a long, purposeful sigh. “Housework.

That’s what they do. I would

rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people.”

She named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people.

So that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the

Entrance Class.

Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had graduated from the Entrance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

City looking at reducing buses on Scott detour Moving proposed pathway south of Scott also being considered Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city will look for ways to reduce the number of buses detoured onto Scott and Albert streets during light-rail construction set to begin next year The new willingness to consider other options comes after months of lobbying by frustrated residents in Mechanicsville, Hintonburg and Dalhousie, who say that two years of buses passing by every 20 seconds is unacceptable.

The city and its light-rail constructor, the Rideau Transit Group, intend to move 2,500 buses a day onto the Scott-Albert corridor while the Transitway is converted to light rail from 2015 to 2016.

About half a dozen people delivered impassioned pleas

FILE

Frustrated residents in Mechanicsville, Hintonburg and Dalhousie are telling the city that two years of buses being detoured onto Scott and Albert Streets during light-rail construction is not acceptable. to the transportation committee on May 7, saying the plan will not only create safety and liveability concerns for neighbours, it would also create longer commute times for transit users.

They suggested splitting up the impact by moving some of the buses onto the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway instead, or even Carling Avenue. Thanks to a motion put forward on behalf of Som-

erset Coun. Diane Holmes, the transportation committee will ask OC Transpo to look at those options and present the results of their review at upcoming open houses tentatively scheduled for June 9 and 10.

At a recent Dalhousie Community Association annual general meeting, National Capital Commission CEO Mark Kristmanson said the city and Rideau Transit Group

hadn’t approached the NCC about detouring buses onto its parkway, but Kristmanson would be open to that conversation.

Cheryl Parrott of the Hintonburg Community Association said the willingness to finally listen to residents gave her some hope, but she wasn’t convinced the city or Rideau Transit Group would actually make any changes.

“They’re there, but are they

actually listening? Are they taking into consideration what people have said?” Parrott asked. “I still have concerns that they haven’t, seeing the safety report that came forward from them.”

The long-awaited pedestrian safety audit commissioned

by Rideau Transit Group was a disappointment to Parrott. A light multi-use pathway from Bayview Road to Smirle Avenue is planned as an alternate route for cyclists and pedestrians, but Parrott said the path will end up being a tunnel surrounded by hoarding boards to protect it from surrounding construction.

“They’re planning on putting it through a very isolated area, there are no eyes on it,” she said. “When we went through doing a safety audit with Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments ... Everybody came to the same conclusion right away: this just can’t happen. It’s totally unsafe.”

The community suggested in February that the path would be more accessible and safer if it was built on the south side of the corridor, between Scott Street and the Tom Brown Arena. The trans-

portation committee voted to have staff look at whether that option was feasible, but staff indicated there might be an additional cost above and beyond the $2.1-billion light-rail contract. The committee will get an update and be asked to make a decision if the south-side pathway would cost more.

Parrott said she suspects the pathway tweak might be the only improvement to the bus detours and pedestrian safety plan.

“Whether there will be any change on June 9 and 10, I’m not totally convinced there will be,” she said. “The battle will continue.”

Rideau Transit Group is also considering enlarging the buffer zone between the road and sidewalk and adding a fence or barrier.

The transportation committee also voted to take the additional bus lanes on Scott and Albert out of service as soon as light rail starts running.

After the transit system switches over, Scott Street is planned to be rebuilt as a “complete street” with room for bike lanes and wider sidewalks.

Pet Adoptions MAVERICK (A164508)

Maverick (A164508), is a friendly feline who will provide loads of entertainment as she loves to be the life of the party. She’s a sweet girl who gets along well with other cats and will happily greet you at the door when you come home. This one-year-old is a kitten at heart. She’s a girl-on-the-go who will stop for a little snuggle before running off to her next big adventure. Playing with toys, being silly and exploring new cardboard boxes are some of her favourite things.

Maverick could live with a respectful dog who has known cats before.

For more information on Maverick and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
