News - The Ottawa Carleton District School Board had already appealed the city’s rejection of a new school at the Kanata tech park before the decision was even made on Feb. 11. Planning committee agreed with city staff and refused the school board’s application for an exception to allow an elementary school to be built on Innovation Drive in an area surrounded by industrial facilities, as well as the new Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata. The school board already appealed the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board before the committee met because the city didn’t meet deadlines for considering the application. That’s because city staff failed to notify all surrounding land owners about the proposal. At least one of those landowners – Nordion Inc. – mounted strong opposition to the proposed school, which it said could prevent the 50-year-old business from expanding. The company, which employs 400 people, produces medical isotopes and sterilization equipment. Nordion isn’t the only nearby

business licensed to process nuclear materials. Best Theratronics employs 180 people to produce nuclear medical supplies at its facility at 413 March Rd. Peter Elder of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission said there would be no safety issues with putting a school near the facilities. The issue, he said, would be one of perception. As the area around the nuclear facilities becomes more mixed, the concerns from the public increase even though the safety hasn’t changed, Elder said. Representatives from Nordion and Best Theratronics agreed and said the public perception of non-existent safety issues could make it difficult for them to expand their businesses or apply for new nuclear materials licenses in the future. Jennifer McKenzie, chairwoman of the school board, said parents aren’t worried about the nearby businesses. “We have heard little concern about it being next door to a nuclear facility,” she said. Parents are mostly concerned about having access to a school for their children in an area that has a severe shortage of classroom space, she said. See WILKINSON, page 5

A lifetime of happiness Married for 67 years, couple still deeply in love Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Sixty-seven years ago on June 21, Douglas and Marilyn Hanna exchanged vows in front of their family and friends. Sitting in their cozy living room in the apartment they share in Kanata Lakes, the two are still as much in love with each other now as they were all those years ago. “I’ve been in love with her ever since I married her,� Douglas said, looking fondly at his wife. When he asks her a question, the 92-year-old calls her sweetheart. “He is my husband but sometimes I refer to him as my live-in-lover,� said Marilyn, 89, with a smile for Douglas. The two live in an apartment on the first floor of the Royale retirement residence. The hallway off the main area is filled with portraits and group shots, a lifetime in photographs that show how the family has steadily grown over the years. The pictures are only a small collection, said Marilyn, explaining the majority decorate the family farm the Hannas own just outside Napanee. Their love for each other blossomed over the years with five children, although one passed away shortly after birth, nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren (soon to be four). “I keep thinking how lucky we are,� said Marilyn. “Lucky beyond what any couple could expect.� HAPPENSTANCE

Marilyn had just finished a game of tennis at the Boulevard Club, a private

sport and recreation facility in Toronto, on a summer day in 1944. Heading home to get ready for her job as a nursing student at St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Marilyn spotted her sister speaking with a young man. He was introduced as Douglas Hanna. Having graduated from Queens University and working in Toronto at an industrial chemical company, Douglas had joined the members-only club because he was told those are the places where a man can meet a nice girl. “It was happenstance,� said Marilyn of the introduction that set their futures in motion along the same path. Douglas accompanied Marilyn on her walk home. That same evening, he told his future best man, “I met the woman I’m going to marry tonight.� But Marilyn wasn’t thinking longterm. She had her studies, her sports and activities, and her future to think of. “I wasn’t interested in dating,� she said. “I had my life planned out. Or so I thought.� They continued to see each other. One day, Marilyn’s mother called Douglas to ask him of his intentions. He told her he’d like to marry her daughter. Marilyn’s mother said she’d do everything in her power to further his cause and Douglas was often a guest at the dinner table. “He was a good salesman,� said Marilyn, adding she had no idea her mother and Douglas had conspired to win her heart. “I liked him and I admired him first. And then I fell in love.� After some time, Douglas invited her to take the train to go meet his family, who lived outside the city on a farm. From his pocket, he produced a ring. “He said, ‘I know you’re still undecided but would you accept my ring?’� said Marilyn. She took a gamble. She said yes.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Douglas and Marilyn Hanna pose with their younger selves, captured at their wedding ceremony 67 years ago. The two are just as much in love as they were when they first met. The two were married on June 21, 1947, three years after their fateful meeting, in a full ceremony at Church of the Redeemer on Bloor Street in Toronto. GIVE AND TAKE

Marriage was the biggest gamble Marilyn ever took in her life, she said. Looking back, she’s glad she played the odds. “I want to leave your generation with a thought,� she said. “To me, there’s no disgrace in failing, only in not trying. “I see people who sit back and are afraid to try,� she said, adding that applies to all aspects of life – love, marriage, career choices, and any other manner of risk. “You never know if you don’t try.� The Hannas marriage has been full of highs and lows, debates and negotiations. No marriage lasts 67 years

without a bit of compromise. “In marriage, it’s a give and a take,� said Marilyn. “You have to compromise all the time.� She turned down her acceptance to the University of Toronto after passing her registered nurse exam so she could work full time at public health instead; a compromise for the relationship. When the children came along she stayed home to raise them, which was a joy, she said. Then, once they were grown, she went back to university full-time to continue her studies. Douglas’ pride in his wife is apparent when he talks about her achievements, such as her ability in any sport – she plays tennis, skis and swims – how she built a sailboat from the ground up, and her independent nature. He said couples should never try to quell aspects of their partner’s personality or talents. “Let them do what they can do well and you do something else that you

can do well,� he said. “(Marriage) has to be even, it can’t be one-sided.� Douglas, not overly romantic by nature, surprised Marilyn on her 21st birthday with a delivery of 21 longstemmed roses before taking her out for an evening of dinner and dancing. For Marilyn, it’s one of her fondest memories. This Valentine’s Day, the two plan to keep it low-key. Marilyn, who enjoys cooking, plans to whip up something delicious in the kitchen. “She always makes something special,� said Douglas. Growing older together hasn’t dampened the Hannas spark and they plan to create many more wonderful memories over the coming years. “I never regretted it,� said Douglas, smiling at his wife. “I just liked her very much as a person. She’s a very independent lady.� Marilyn returned the smile. “But I sure needed a mate,� she said.

Wilkinson identifies alternate school location on KNL lands Continued from page 1

Kathleen Willis, a land-use planner hired by the school board, said it’s not unheard of for schools to be located in industrial areas. There are two in Ottawa alone, she said, and school board lawyer Paul Webber added that the Ontario Municipal Board ruled in favour of a school board in Kingston that wanted to build a school under very similar circumstances. While the distance be-

tween the property lines for Nordion’s land and the school site is smaller than normally required – 63 metres instead of 70 – Willis said the actual school building will be 126 m away from Nordion’s property. It’s separated from the school by a wooded area and Shirley’s Brook. The board’s vice chair, Shirley Seward, said the board bought the property and the province gave it funding because both assumed it wouldn’t be a problem to get the city to

rezone the land. The city just built the new Richcraft centre recreation facility nearby and city planners didn’t raise any issues during a private pre-consultation, Seward said. “The school board can go out and build a child-care centre, but it can’t build a school,” Seward said. The board bought two pieces of land, 6.7 hectares in total, located at 2101 and 3101 Innovation Dr. from BlackBerry last summer.

That was a “calculated risk,” Willis said. The sale was not conditional on the board getting the land rezoned. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson pointed out there is already a site zoned for a school in the KNL lands, off Terry Fox Drive. The school board moved on to focus on the Innovation Drive site because the original location couldn’t be ready and serviced by water and electricity in time for the provincial funding deadline, McKenzie said.

*

But Wilkinson insisted three of the four outstanding issues have been resolved and she is confident the site could be ready to go in the next few months. McKenzie said the board will work with the city to find a solution, but it will continue to pursue the Innovation Drive appeal as a backup plan. “We would like to work cooperatively with the city to find a site that can meet the needs of students within the time frame of our funding,” she said.

The new school, proposed as two-storeys with 26 classrooms and 5,489 square metres of floor space, must be complete by Sept. 2015 or else lose provincial funding. It takes about a year to build a school, McKenzie said. The board has $12 million in funding earmarked for the north Kanata school, money announced last year by the Ministry of Education.

News - Fifty years ago, Cyndy Pearson made a promise to her grandmother. At age 15, Pearson was confronted with cancer for the first time; her grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 61. She would continue to hear the C-word over the years. But it was that first instance that spurred her into action. “I made her a promise that I would do what I could to help her, and others like her,” said Pearson. Pearson, who lives in Katimavik with her husband Tom, was the guest speaker at the Canadian Cancer Society’s volunteer appreciation event on Jan. 28. She was awarded with a certificate and 50-year pin for her services. Her three children were in attendance. She shared her story about how she got involved and why she’s continued to canvass on behalf of the cancer society for half a century. “I don’t think it’s a big deal I’ve canvassed for 50 years,” she said. “It just kind of snuck up on me.”

would visit with her as she underwent cancer treatments in the early 1960s. “Cancer. I hadn’t really heard that word before. No one else I knew had that. I had no idea what that meant. It was not a common illness at that time,” she said during her speech. “I remember the pain she went through. Her blistered chest made me shudder. Her pills made her sick. It hurt me so much to see her like that.” By the time Pearson was 16, her grandmother had passed away. She wasn’t sure what she could do to fulfill her promise to help those with cancer. She called the Canadian Cancer Society and was told she could sell daffodils at the Carlingwood Mall as part of a fundraising initiative for cancer research. Over the years, she began canvassing door-to-door in April, getting to know her neighbours and talking about their shared experiences with cancer. “It’s in everybody’s life,” she said. “There’s always somebody you can think of that you can do this for. “There were so many years that I had an added incentive. My father-in-law dying from prostate cancer found too late, my mother – a chain smoker – from lung cancer, a dear friend of my daughter’s dying at 35 from cancer,” she said.

She underwent surgery, kept awake for the whole procedure so the doctors could monitor her functions. When it came time to canvass, Pearson rang a few doorbells but couldn’t face the stories others wanted to share. Another volunteer finished her route for her in her name. Now 31 years old, Kimberly is cancer free, said Pearson. Kimberly speaks at many cancer society events, sharing her story with others. One speech Pearson remembers in particular was at a

Relay for Life event, when Kimberly was talking about losing her hair. The cancer society provided her with a wig after radiation treatments caused hair loss. During her speech, Kimberly whipped off her raven locks and replaced them with a blond ’do. Pearson said she can remember the other survivors connecting with Kimberly’s action. “Cyndy and Kim are remarkable women,” said Laura Lafantaisie, the volunteer engagement co-ordinator with the cancer society. “They’ve both taken what was really an awful situation in their life and turned it around to make a positive impact.” The volunteer appreciation event honoured 61 volunteers with 25 or more years of service with the Canadian Cancer Society. A number of groups – including the youth troop at A.Y Jackson Secondary School – also received Community Impact Awards for the promotion of cancer prevention. “We’ve made huge strides but we’ve only made huge strides because of our volunteers,” said Lafantaisie, adding there are 3,000 volunteers in the Ottawa area. “It’s a huge group effort and something we couldn’t do without our volunteers to support us.” When asked why she continues to volunteer year after year, Pearson said the answer is easy. “There’s never a good year to say no.” Anyone interested in volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society can email ottawavolunteer@ontario.cancer.ca for more information.

No easy driveway solution

T

he city’s planning committee recently approved a plan allowing suburban homeowners to widen their driveways. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say councilors collectively held their noses and approved a “Band-Aid solution,� that is a step in the right direction toward a permanent solution, but doesn’t address some of the reasons for the shortage of driveway space. First and foremost, there tends to be more multicar families in the suburbs compared to their urban counterparts. Some councillors suggest one of the underlying causes of suburbia’s parking woes is the development industry’s trend of building smaller homes on smaller lots with more vehicles per household. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said the city needs to look at revising its minimum standards for driveway length and garage size, and if that means developers lose part of their market advantage, well, so be it. The city is reconsidering its policy on driveway sizes, as part of a broader review of how suburban housing developments are planned, under the Building Better Suburbs plan. Policy must meet the existing needs of residents, and those vary depending on which part of the city you’re in. Case in point:

there tends to be more homes with multi-car families in the suburbs compared to those in urban areas, and therefore they need bigger driveways. Of course, council must also recognize the dangers of allowing an influx of asphalt. Widening driveways could have unintended consequences, such as limiting the space available for on-street parking and aesthetically pleasing and environmentally-necessary features such as trees. Then there’s the possibility of resurrecting an old bugbear that has consistently haunted Ottawa during the past decade: stormwater runoff. By reducing the amount of permeable ground available for rainwater drainage, the city would need to radically alter its stormwater drainage model. No one wants to travel down that road. But the planning committee addressed this issue by asking staff to prepare an amendment to the private approach bylaws, which would limit curb cuts. In other words, suburban homeowners could increase the hard-surface driveway space in front of their homes, but would not be allowed to expand access to the street. A one-size-fits-all policy rarely works across Ottawa. Any solution to the city’s parking problems must ultimately rely on neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood decisions.

The grassroots innocence of Canada’s game

P

utting aside the commercial aspects, it was pretty hard not to be impressed by the 17th Annual Bill Kitchen Timbits Jamboree out at the Canadian Tire Centre. From seven o’clock in the morning until about six at night, 96 kids’ hockey teams from all over Ottawa and the Valley took to the big ice surface at the arena. That would be more than 1,000 five- and six-year-olds, and don’t think they weren’t impressed. Don’t think their parents and grandparents weren’t either. The parents and grandparents, by the way, brought donations for the Ottawa Food Bank. When they weren’t on the ice, the kids were in a big room downstairs playing on various things, including the inevitable bouncy castle. When an adult of a certain age sees a bouncy castle, he suddenly realizes there was a large gap in his childhood. Spartacat was signing autographs. There was a juggler, a clown and the loud noise of a lot of excited kids. But the main excitement was on the ice, where there was hardly any noise at all – a refreshing change from when the Senators play and you can’t hear yourself think for the amplified music, especially during stoppages

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in play. Here there were no stoppages in play to speak of and the only noise was of sticks and skates, conversations among parents and grandparents and the occasional cheer when the puck found its way into the net. That would happened a fair amount, as the games were played across the ice surface, three at a time, so a player was never far from the opposite goal and frequently in good position to score. But when they scored, it mattered only to them (and their parents, siblings and grandparents), since one of the rules of the jamboree is that no score is kept. That might sound wimpy, but it works pretty well for the youngsters at this level. They all compete hard anyway, particularly on this day, because who wouldn’t

be inspired sitting on the same benches as Chris Phillips and Chris Neil? Who wouldn’t want to score a goal on the same ice as Jason Spezza and Erik Karlsson score theirs? And no one goes home broken-hearted. They’ll have lots of chances in their later years to go home broken-hearted. Why rush it? Because of the antics of a few fanatics, hockey parents get a bad rap. But when kids play at the earliest ages of the organized game, the parents couldn’t be nicer, at least as far as I’ve seen. Very rarely do you hear parents barking instructions to their son or daughter. Almost never do you hear anyone yelling at the referees. True, some of that comes later, but there have been many advances in coaching techniques over the decades, and along with these have come changes in attitude. You hope that some of these have rubbed off on the parents. Bill Kitchen, who died two years ago, played for the Ottawa 67’s and briefly in the NHL. He ran a Tim Hortons franchise, coached minor hockey in Ottawa, organized a hockey camp and was active in the Timbits jamboree, which now bears his name. That’s a nice legacy and you could see on the ice, where volunteer coaches skated with their

teams and acted as referees, that there are dozens and dozens of men and women carrying on that tradition. It’s what helps make hockey so deeply rooted in our culture despite all the competition from computers, video games and bouncy castles. Both boys and girls were active on the ice and so were kids from different cultures. Although hockey may not be as multicultural as some other areas of Canadian life, it is heading in that direction. We all read about the problems in hockey its professional levels. It’s nice to see the innocence of the game when beginners play it.

I was a television producer for a number of years and I know that a picture really is worth a thousand words (or at least 30 words that can be chopped off a script). But in the same way we must careful that our words – written and spoken – represent who we really are, we should also be tentative about the “visual stories” we’re sharing on social media. It’s a great message to send out to your kids, as well: Yes, our online personalities and relationships are different from the ones we have in reality and that’s okay, as long as we remember that the consequences of our instant sharing are not only incredibly public to begin with, but also publicly archived. That accumulated archive is creating our personal brand. I like social media. I think it’s a useful tool and it’s allowed me to stay in contact or reconnect with many people I probably would have otherwise lost touch with years ago. But if Facebook’s birthday gift has taught me anything, it’s that – on second thought – the montage probably wasn’t really worth sharing at all.

Our Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media profiles are the essence of our online beings. How are you branding yourself? My Facebook montage was quite telling. It told me I’m not branding myself very well. Sure it’s a flawed algorithm, but the posts and images Facebook used are accessible to anyone who trolls my profile. There were photos of my cousin’s brother-in-law’s kids in my top 10 (random), no pictures of my sons and zero shots of me doing anything particularly interesting. All said, my montage branded me as someone who is – like many female Facebook users in my age group – obsessed with bragging about my baby daughter (and other people’s small children). But it wasn’t exciting, visually stimulating or even remotely telling about my personality, activities and interests. I started to wonder what a montage on LinkedIn would look like. How would my posts – or lack of posts – be reflected to those in my professional circle? I have a feeling it, too, would be unrepresentative of me. It seems like a lot of responsibility to think about self-branding. After all, we have all that snow to shovel and then there’s, well, getting up in the morning and preparing ourselves for work.

o celebrate its 10th anniversary, Facebook created a memory book for users – a montage of photos, status updates and shares to mark our time on the site. While the algorithm wasn’t without flaw – some users complained theirs didn’t work properly – it was a classic example of a brand doing something right. Facebook is, after all, the ultimate brand. Facebook communicates with us, gathers our personal information, sends us things we may like based on our over-sharing. And then it rewards us for longevity and loyalty by giving us a free photo montage, signed by the company’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg – which we then, of course, “share” with all our friends and family. Right on, Facebook! According to Euromonitor International, 2013 was the year of “the selfie.” In the middle of last year, people shared 200 million photos in a single day through Snapchat, an application that allows you to send photos that delete within 10 seconds of viewing. While a lot of people detest selfies, presuming the self-taken photo of oneself to be the ultimate vanity exercise, the consumers editor of Euromonitor noted a different trend – the increased willingness of people to tell stories visually. In the era of Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat, words are unnecessary. You know this. Your friends know this. Facebook knows this. A lot of your favourite brands know this. But are you using the selfie – and other visuals – to tell the stories you should to protect your own brand?

Sports – Word is starting to spread about the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League. The recreational and competitive oor hockey league has once again doubled in size to four recreational teams, named: the Gators, Sharks, Wolves and Bears. The league has set a budget of 23,000 to send 10 wheelchair athletes, coaches and attendants to the North American Power Hockey Association tournament, which will be

held in Minneapolis, Minn. this year. More than 100 wheelchair athletes from across Canada and United States will participate in the event. Every year since 2010, the league sends a competitive team, the Ottawa Capitals, to participate in Canadian and North American wheelchair hockey tournaments. The league is a community built and run program and needs the help of the local community to support wheelchair athletes and prepare them to participate in the Minneapolis tournament. Requirements for specialized equipment, accommodations and attend care sometimes create insurmountable barriers for players to participate in this event. All members beneďŹ t from this tournament since these 10 wheelchair athletes are role models and mentors to the remaining league players who aspire to be a member of the Ottawa Capitals in future years.

League determined to increase awareness Continued from page 10

Fellow wheelchair athletes, parents, volunteers and the community will be watching and supporting the Capitals in the hopes of bringing home a gold medal. The league is also determined to increase awareness about the sport in hopes the sport will one day become an event at the Paralympics. The league has a roster of 45 volunteers, including a board of directors, coaches, referees, administrative staff and game day set-up staff. The league has a total event budget of $23,950. “We have $3,000 pending in corporate sponsorships and we are currently hosting a number of fundraising initiatives,� said league chair Donna Haycock in an email. The league is planning to host a Celebrity Game at Algonquin College on April 6. Stuntman Stu will emcee the event and the game’s celebrity roster will feature Mayor Jim Watson, Terry Marcotte, the sports director at CTV as well as several other television and sport personalities. The league, a member of the Ca-

nadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association and the North American Power Hockey Association, was established in the fall of 2009 by students at Carleton University. All players use power wheelchairs and have limited or no upper body strength and/or mobility. Power hockey is a unique sport in that it accomplishes all the goals of traditional sport, with the advantage of teams being comprised of people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, genders and disabilities participating together. Essentially the league breaks down the barriers for people with disabilities to allow them to participate in a recreational environment that helps them build self-esteem, pride, a sense of community and inclusion. The league has grown over the years. In 2012-13, it recruited Dean Delaurier, a silver medal Paralympian in sledge hockey, as a coach, and visited high schools and made presentations at CHEO, and the Ottawa Rehabilitation Centre. Easter Seals Merrywood Camp and ran a weekly hockey skills program at Centennial Public School.

We were married and close to retirement when we started fostering. Throughout the years, we’ve grown as a couple, as individuals and as foster parents. Providing foster care to children and youth is a very rewarding experience. We are given opportunities to learn from others, to learn of their strengths and values and to offer support when possible. We see families change and we see their relationships develop. Since our debut 17 years ago, we’ve come to learn the real purpose of our role as foster parents; to help families stay together.

Young women discuss barriers of entering local politics Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - In a room of 15 young women, four said they had considered the possibility of getting involved in local politics. A group of young women discussed the barriers they feel prevent them from seeking positions in municipal government during a meeting hosted by the Head Start for Young Women program, overseen by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, and the Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization on Feb. 3 at the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata. Some of the largest obstacles included the media’s portrayal of women, a lack of available resources and encouragement on getting involved, and a need for more female mentors. Aiman Baig, a Grade 12 student at Earl of March Secondary School, and Amina Egeh, a Carleton University student studying public affairs and policy management, facilitated the meeting with 15 young Muslim women, their parents,

and members of the Muslim women’s group. Both Baig and Egah are participating in the Head Start program. “Democratic participation is very important to me,” said Egeh, adding she wants to “champion that cause for people of my age. “In Canada, we have such a low percentage of women participating in politics.” Members of Head Start are visiting schools and women’s organizations to identify and respond to barriers that prevent young women from engaging in civic society. The group will create and implement a project that addresses the barriers and present the conclusions at an event later this year. “I think it’s really important women get into leadership roles,” said Baig, who lives in Kanata Lakes. “Our opinions don’t always get heard.” The program has 21 female participants between the ages of 16 and 24 from across the city. Wilkinson is leading the national initiative – supported by the Federation for Canadian Municipalities – in the

Kanata area. “I’ve found it very interesting to be involved and hear what young women have to say,” said Wilkinson. “(The members) are leading sessions, getting people to speak out.” JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

BARRIERS

The young women, their mothers and fathers, and members of the Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization sat in chairs arranged in a circle during the Monday evening meeting. Only four of the young women raised their hands when asked if they had ever considered getting involved in municipal affairs. “I never thought of myself in the shoes of a politician,” said a participant. “For a woman it’s an uphill battle because she has to fight against a lot of stereotypes to begin with,” said another. A number of attendees cited the media as a large obstacle – saying it doesn’t display a lot of women in politics. When it does, the focus is less on policy and more on physical attri-

Marianne Wilkinson to discuss the barriers preventing females from getting involved in local politics. From left, Mubashera Shaikh, Amina Egeh, Aiman Baig and Ayesha Siddiqui. butes; Hillary Clinton, former US secretary of state and senator, and the media’s obsession with her pantsuits was used as an example. “You never look at a man and criticize his suit,” said one of the participants. Other barriers mentioned included a lacklustre high school civics class, few female mentors and role models, lack of time, the pressures of raising a family, and little information on how to get involved readily available. “If something bothers you, this means you should go into politics,” said Sajjad Khan, a father of three girls, to the room. “I think you are well prepared

to take on these challenges.” Politics is involved no matter what stream of employment people go into, he said, adding it’s important to get involved, to seek opportunities and gain experience. “If you have the passion and you really want something, you make it work – make sacrifices, find balance,” said OMWO president Shano Bejkosalaj. “You have to sacrifice no matter what you’re doing.” Wilkinson, who has had a long career in politics, said things have changed since she first got involved. Ottawa city council is now made up of 25 per cent women (six out of 24 council positions), although the

Federation for Canadian Municipalities would prefer to see that number at a minimum of 30 per cent. “I was the very first woman to ever run in this area,” Wilkinson said. “Things can change. You know who’s going to make the change? All of you and your friends.” Attendee Asha Abdul Wahab said that young women need to research and gather information to become involved. “It’s important for you to be wise and know what you’re standing up for,” she said. “Fight with your knowledge.” For more information on the Head Start for Young Women program, visit fcm.ca.

Low sleep quality and low blood sugar: managing diabetes at night News - What’s usually on your mind before you fall asleep? Rather than reflecting on their day or thinking about tomorrow’s tasks, Canadians with diabetes who take insulin, getting ready for a good night’s sleep can be a challenge because every night they must prepare their bodies to rest without food or insulin intake for a prolonged period of time. Without the proper balance of insulin before bed, they can experience nocturnal hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar (or glucose) levels drop. It can cause confusion, loss of consciousness and even result in death. “Testing blood sugar throughout the day is necessary to maintain a constant healthy blood sugar level, but during sleep hours, it is difficult to test. For people living with diabetes, nocturnal hypoglycemia can be daunting,� said Dr. Woo, endocrinologist, Health Sciences Centre. “Sleep is an important indicator into how a

person will perform throughout the day so whenever my patients and I are discussing treatment options, I always take into account the patient’s lifestyle to insure they are using a treatment that will work within their routine as well as allow them to get the sleep that they need.� According to a recent survey of diabetes patients and their healthcare providers revealed that: • More Canadian patients worry about experiencing a hypoglycemic event at night than during the day (34 per cent). • The most common reasons for mis-timing or reducing doses were low blood sugar levels and attempting to reduce the risk of having a hypoglycemic event. • Patients are also losing sleep over the guilt they feel with missed dosing, as six in 10 Canadian patients surveyed said they worry about missing the occasional insulin dose, and seven in ten feel guilty when they

do. • The good news is that it is never too late to take action to prevent or manage hypoglycemia. Here are three tips to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia: • Test blood sugar levels before

bed. • If the test shows low blood sugar levels, some recommendations for leveling out glucose levels include: bedtime snacks such as 15 grams of carbohydrates or a glucose tablet, a glass of milk or a glass of orange

juice. • Talk to your healthcare professionals to learn how to identify and reduce the risk of nighttime hypoglycemia. News Canada

News – After 37 years invested in helping Ottawa students succeed, Rene Bibaud isn’t quite ready to consider retirement. “Who knows?” said the Adult High School principal, who is a former principal at Earl of March Secondary School in Beaverbrook. Bibaud was recently named one of Canada’s Outstanding Principals – a nationally recognized award that brings with it an executive-level leadership training program. News of the prestigious recognition, which will be presented later this month during a Toronto ceremony, was accepted humbly by Bibaud. “They’re very generous with their comments,” he said of letters of support from Ottawa Carleton District School Board staff, adding, “There’s no such thing as an unassisted goal – I’ve been surrounded by strong stick-handlers.” Many of Bibaud’s colleagues, including public board director of education Jennifer Adams, wrote of his strong presence at the school and how he serves as a “role model” for the student body. Bibaud, in turn, applauded staff and students, parents and community partners for helping maximize the potential of the students – many of them new to Canada – who graduate from the Rochester Street facility. After stints in many public board secondary schools, Bibaud relished the challenge of overseeing the operations of the board’s only adult high school. He said one of his goals is to bring the outside world into the hallways and rooms of the facility to see what occurs inside. “Seventy per cent of our students are new to Canada,” he said. “I’m humbled by their voyage, their resiliency and their resolve, and I’m privileged to be part of that journey. It is a very unique environment – very multi-cultural … It’s a great way at the twilight of my career to be involved in something so unique and different.” The Adult High School is more than an education facility, said Bibaud, given its function as a social hub for many of its 1,200 students. “So many (students) come to this country alone, and often it’s the first time they’ve expe-

rienced winter – it’s hard,” explained Bibaud. “We want to ensure we welcome them in the best way.” The school works with community resource agencies to provide students with the necessary items for surviving an Ottawa winter, as well as other supports they may require.

News - ACORN is looking to break a record this tax season. The clinic run by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- typically known as ACORN - will offer free tax services again this year for low- and moderate-income individuals and recent immigrants in Ottawa starting on Feb. 20. Last year, the volunteers helped more than 800 low-income people file their 2012 returns -- making the most successful effort since the free clinics started back in 2009. This year, the organization announced it would like to file 1,000 returns in 2014. Getting ready for the influx of calls to the ACORN office at its new location in Heartwood House on McArthur Road, members announced the launch of this year’s clinics on Feb. 6. ACORN Ottawa board member and fellow tax-clinic user Dion Rochan is grateful for the service and wanted everyone who needs help with their tax returns to know ACORN is here to help. “It’s great because I can’t afford to have it done by some company,” Rochan said. “It’s also become complicated to get your taxes done these days. This way I don’t have the stress and saves a lot of money.” The clinics will help with filing 2013 tax returns as well as any back taxes clients might need to have filed. In addition to the free service, last year ACORN offered individuals who were above the income cut off set by the Canadian Revenue Service for the free service an affordable option for a tax return, ranging from $40 to $80. The money collected from theses returns helps supplement some of the free clinic’s costs. Once the clinics begin, there will be 25 volunteers available to help, who speak a variety of languages. Volunteer and tax program co-ordinator Angela Plant said the organization wanted to make the free clinics as inclusive as possible. “I think this is a really important service for the community,” she said. Plant added the volunteers will also be able to help sort out and file tax returns for small businesses or contract workers. The programs are available at ACORN’s offices in Overbrook at 404 McArthur Ave., on the second floor. There are no drop-in appointments, so appointments must be made by phone. The clinics will run until the end of May. For more information or to book an appointment, please call 613-7465999.

How to choose the pet that’s right for you are a few tips for choosing the perfect pet: • Don’t make an impulse buy: Do your research and understand the type of care and commitment your potential pet will need. • Consider your lifestyle and how a pet will ďŹ t in: Do you have a demanding career that means

you won’t have lots of time for dog walks and playing in the park? • Consider your health: Does anyone in your family have allergies? Cost: Before you bring a new pet home, make sure you’ve done your research and understand the

cost of ongoing care. * Visit animal shelters to get an idea of the kind of dog or cat you’d like and go with your gut: You’ll know whether it’s the right pet for you once you see it and spend time with it.

News - What could be better than introducing a furry, uffy, loyal pal to your life? There’s no doubt that there are many beneďŹ ts from owning a pet, but before you bring a dog or cat home, you want to make sure that your choice will ďŹ t in with you and your family. Here

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Sports - The first event in the buildup to Beaverbrook’s 50th anniversary in 2015 was a roaring success. About 75 children and adults enjoyed a day of sunshine and curling at the Stephen Leacock outdoor rink on Feb. 8, and contributed $151 for the Kanata Food Cupboard. Mike Goldthorp and Tom McCarthy of 1st Kanata Scouts flooded the ice and installed hacks for the curlers. Emily and Katrina Poulsen led the crowd in singing O Canada. Dot Smale delivered hot chocolate and umpire Sherry Ronan, a Grade 11 student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School, blew the whistle to start play. Using red rocks and blue rocks generously loaned by the City View Curling club, eight teams competed in 30-minute games. Cheryl Carroll of the City View club showed parents and children who had never curled how to play the game. Erin and Louis Laforest were there with children Vinny, Cana, Jesse, Jordan and Rose. “Curling is a lot of fun,” said Louis. Hong Liu agreed. “This is great,” he said. Carol Marling was cutting hair in the Kanata Barber Shop when Pat Yeates picked her up and drove to the rink, where she teamed up with Catherine Raven, who works in the Ottawa Public Library Depot. The Gray family of Pellan Crescent had three generations curling with Grandpa John, daughter Heather, niece Holly and nephew Eric, the youngest player at age three. Ken Brown brought Bob Shank who has been curling for almost 60 years and said, “This is the first time I ever curled in Beaverbrook.” Tiffany was the most active street with Andrew, Hamish and Charlotte Pope, Annalie and Hans Bergman, Pilar Balbuena, Cathy, Martin and Connor Charlton. Jim Shearon, who organized the event with great help from Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association president Gary Sealey, said, “The best part was seeing so many young families on the ice laughing in the sunshine.” A final note: the red rock team won every game.

Beatlemania comes to Jack Donohue Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Beatlemania hit Jack Donohue Public School on Feb. 5, two days before the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion when the Beatles landed at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Nine hundred students in

grades 1 through 8 raised their voices to belt out Let It Be, accompanied by music teacher Stephen Eisenhauer – in full Beatles fashion – on the piano. Each grade then had a chance to shine, singing hits like All You Need is Love, Hey Jude, Yellow Submarine and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Music teacher Stephen Eisenhauer – decked out in full Beatles fashion – leads 900 students in a rendition of ‘Let It Be’ at Jack Donohue Public School on Feb. 5. The school hosted a concert to celebrate 50 years since the Beatles landed in North America.

I think they’re really iconic ... They really added something different to the music industry. GRADE 7 STUDENT MONA OSMAN

“I think they’re really iconic,” said Grade 7 student Mona Osman. “They’re known worldwide and have

really good music. They really added something different to the music industry.” The “first ever Beatles Ex-

travaganza” was organized by Eisenhauer as a way to foster school community and celebrate the British band. “I have always really enjoyed when we get together as a school around holiday time and sing,” he said. “As a Beatles fan, I knew that this Feb. 7 would mark 50 years since the Beatles arrived at JFK airport and the British

Invasion was born. “I saw this as a great opportunity to mark that occasion and get the school together to sing at the same time.” Each class had the chance to rehearse with Eisenhauer before the event where he taught them about the songs they were singing. See SCHOOL, page 32

After getting to know the band through the music,

she’s become a fan. “They’re pretty good and interesting.� Lexi Peacock, however, has grown up on their music. “I’ve known them since I was born, because of my uncle,� said the Grade 6 student, adding she loves Penny Lane. “My mom is addicted to the Beatles.

Aside from the afternoon concert, the students also performed in the evening so parents had an opportunity to attend. “I was thrilled.

There were lots of positive comments and everyone got together and sang.� The Beatles made their first North American television appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9, 1964, and Beatlemania was born on this side of the pond. Grade 6 student Simonne, who didn’t want to use her last name, said it was fitting that the school celebrated half a century of everything Beatles by hosting a school-wide concert. “I thought it was awesome,� she said. “They gave something to the world. They gave the world music.� And her favourite song? “I really like Yellow Submarine. It’s silly, it’s fun,� said Simonne. “My parents love them; I used to hear them in the car.� Many of the students acquired their love for the Beatles

German Embassy hosts graffiti jam Event celebrates 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Winterlude is about to get a splash or two of paint this coming weekend. The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany has invited two popular German graffiti artists to Ottawa to help mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a commemorative mural at the embassy, located at 1 Waverly St., on Feb. 15. “We feel that it’s a symbolic and engaging demonstration of what the fall of the Berlin Wall meant to so many

people,� said Ambassador Werner Wnendt. “For years, the wall acted as a means of oppression. Painting on the wall and expressing one’s own individuality is a way to honour what its destruction meant for so many.� A barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic in 1961, separating West Berlin from East Germany and East Berlin, creating two states. After a popular uprising, the wall fell in November 1989. The two artists, Arunski and Poet, both grew up in West Berlin during the Cold

War. Arunski is renowned for painting his first graffiti piece on the Berlin Wall in 1986. The artist met Poet in 1988 and have collaborated on many projects since. According to the embassy, these two artists are the most respected graffiti writers from Berlin. In partnership with Canada, the embassy has teamed up with House of Paint for the event. Joining Arunski and Poet will be two of Canada’s top graffiti artists, Zek and Striker. The event is not all about graffiti either -- there will be a feast of German sausage and pizza, German hip-hop music, wine and cider at the celebrations. Beyond this weekend’s

event, the embassy will said it will be hosting a number of activities throughout the year

An ice sculpture, called United Buddy Bears, is also on display at Confederation

We feel that it’s a symbolic and engaging demonstration of what the fall of the Berlin Wall meant to so many people. AMBASSADOR WERNER WNENDT

to help grow the awareness of the how important and symbolic the fall of the wall was. Calling 2014 the year of remembrance, aside from the embassy marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, it has been 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War, and 75 years since the start of the Second World War.

Park. The bears are to be considered an international symbol of collaboration among nations. The Feb. 15 jam starts at noon and runs all day until 8 p.m. For more information please visit the embassy website, canada.diplo.de/Vertretung/kanada/en/Startseite. html.

New booklet aims to help disabled understand abuse Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

ing abused in any way, and resources they or their families can access for help. “It’s a parent that can say, ‘You know what? Stay in your crappy diaper,’� said Michelle Boyer. “But a lot of them think if they say something,

they will lose the help.� Disabled people are also more susceptible to romance fraud, both Boyers said. A person who is more isolated due to their disability is more likely to go online to make friends or communicate or potential romantic partners. But fraudsters will often target the vulnerable, and ask for money to be transferred for some sort of emergency, or to cover travel costs to come see them. The fraudster is often a to-

tally different person, who may not even live in North America, let alone the same city. CODA ambassadors are hoping to be able to give as many workshops and present the information in the booklet at different community events and to a variety of groups to make people aware.

Daniel Boyer with the new booklet produced by Connecting on Disability and Abuse with help from Crime Prevention Ottawa. The booklet helps people understand the different types of abuse against people with disabilities.

R0012554040_0213

News - Daniel Boyer has been able to deal with tough situations thrown his way because of his knowledge of resources available to him. Not everyone in the same boat as the east-Ottawa man living with cerebral palsy is as fortunate to be aware of the help available to them. That means there could be more prolonged abuse. “The disabled community is vulnerable, and people can abuse us more,� he said. “They’re more attracted to vulnerable communities.� Boyer is the co-chair of the Connecting on Disability and Abuse group, which put together a brochure about disability abuse awareness with Crime Prevention Ottawa; it’s the first document of its kind in the city. Boyer has run several workshops and set up booths at events alongside his wife, Michelle Boyer, a CODA ambassador. Recently, they faced their own situation, where elevator repairs in their building would leave Boyer unable to leave his home for several weeks. After fighting tooth and nail, they contacted resources they were aware of to help find a resolution to the situation, and place the couple in an accessible unit in another building until the elevator could be fixed. “I was abused in a way, but because I knew my rights, it’s why I’m here today,� he said. “But other people with disabilities, they don’t know to literally fight for their rights.� The new booklet that the group has produced features different fictional stories about abuse, based on true situations. They range from a grandchild taking financial advantage of a grandparent to a home support worker threatening a disabled client. It was based on a booklet produced in British Columbia, who gave permission for the model to be used and modified for Ontario laws and Ottawa resources.

“We’re tapping an unmet need,� said Nancy Worsfold, Crime Prevention Ottawa’s executive director. “We’ve already had orders for 1,500 booklets.� It gives information on what a disabled person should do if they are be-

Wrestlers win silver medal in team event at championships Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - National Capital Wrestling Club members recently returned from provincial championships, and they brought home a haul of medals. Among the top 10 finishers were three South Carleton students. Evan Takach placed fifth in the 54-kg juvenile division, Andrea Pretty won a silver medal in the 65-kg juvenile division and Clare Lizotte won a silver medal in the 60-kg juvenile division. The juvenile team, made up of Grade 11 and 12 girls and boys, took home a silver medal. Out of 34 teams in a field normally dominated by GTA teams, it was impressive, said head coach Chris Schrauwen. In the individual categories, three athletes won gold, three athletes won silver, and another athlete won bronze. “It was pretty exciting to have lots of my friends in the finals,” said Augusta Eve, who won her 46 kg juvenile

division and said she had a large cheering squad for her gold medal match. The two-day event was held in Sudbury – further than the team will travel for the upcoming national championships in Guelph, Ont. in late April.

It was pretty exciting to have lots of my friends in the finals. AUGUSTA EVE

Winning a national title would be all that much sweeter for provincial gold medal winner Wassim Ghadban, who will attend Guelph University next year and compete for their wrestling team. “(My goal is) to win it,” the Grade 12 student said. “I plan on winning nationals. I got recruited by Guelph, so it would be pretty cool to win it in Guelph.” After winning his gold

medal match in Sudbury, Schrauwen said Ghadban has a good chance at taking the national title in his 80-kg weight class. He missed nationals last year because of an injury. Schrauwren said all three gold medalists at provincials – Eve, Ghadban and Quinlan Walker – have a chance at taking home a national title. Last year, Eve won the 44kg juvenile class, one weight class lower than what she’ll compete in this year. The team practises at St. Patrick Catholic High School in the south end, though wrestlers travel from all over the city to be part of the club, Schrauwen said. The wrestlers train three or four times a week, and also compete for their high schools as well. The coaching staff said they hope to see another impressive medal haul after the team gets back from Guelph. “I think that everyone who medaled should be hunting for medals,” Schrauwen said.

turn out to be an all-day job. That meant the copper tub was full of whites on the stove, the rest of the laundry was sorted into heaps on the kitchen oor, and the homemade soap cut into slivers and sitting in a pie plate. And of course, the long wood “pinchersâ€? used to take the boiled whites out of the tub, and put them into the square laundry tub, ready for scrubbing on the washboard, would be sitting on a chair too. They looked exactly like the tweezers Aunt Lizzie used to pull out stray eyebrows when she came from Regina to visit, only these were about two feet long, made of wood held together at one end with a bolt, and strong enough that Mother could easily grab a good portion of white clothes out of the tub without touching the hot water. Well, that day the pinchers were nowhere to be found. It was just before supper, and Mother sent me back out to the wood shed and the summer kitchen to have another look. I even looked behind the sauerkraut barrel – there was no sign of them anywhere. “Well, they have to be somewhere,â€? Mother said,

putting the ďŹ nishing touches on supper. Father and the three brothers came in from the barns and the milking, and washed up at the bench near the back door. We all took our places at the old pine table, and after Grace was said by Father, and before anyone could dig in to the mounds of food, Mother commented that she couldn’t ďŹ nd the wood tongs, which was the term she used. Father called them pinchers, but he knew what she meant, and that was all that was important. “Must be out in the summer kitchen,â€? he said. Mother assured him a thorough search had been made of both the summer kitchen and the wood shed. “Gone. Just plain gone,â€? she said. “I know where they are,â€? Earl said, giving a sidelong glance towards Emerson. Emerson started to squirm and asked Everett to pass the potatoes. Earl continued: “They’re out on the chopping block behind the silo.â€? Everything stopped dead, just like a Hopalong Cassidy movie reel that had broken down once in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. “Ouch,â€? Earl yelled, and we all knew Emerson had given him a good kick under the table. “Whatever are the laundry tongs doing out on the chopping block,â€? Mother asked, her voice rising to a high pitch. The chopping block was

where the chickens met their doom and it was also where the ďŹ sh the boys caught iceďŹ shing in the Bonnechere River were cleaned. Everett was usually the one who performed the dastardly deed, because even though he was rambunctious and full of spunk, Emerson could never bring himself to working the chopping block. The same went for clean-

up from the table, put on his heavy coat, hat and boots, and headed for the silo. When he brought the tongs back into the kitchen, Mother already had a granite pail of water boiling on the front of the stove – she swore the clothes would smell of ďŹ sh for at least a month of washings. The tongs were put into the pail, with a good dose of vinegar, and there they sat,

No one ever knew if Emerson ever got over his aversion to touching uncooked fish, but we all knew he never went near the tongs again. ing ďŹ sh. In fact, he loved to ďŹ sh, summer or winter, but Everett or Earl always had to bait the line for him. He didn’t want a thing to do with a live ďŹ sh from the time the line went in the water, until it was served on a dinner plate. And when the ďŹ sh sat in a pail of water beside the chopping block ready to be cleaned, Emerson wouldn’t even touch one to take it out of the pail and hand it to Everett. That is, until he ďŹ gured Mother’s laundry tongs would do just ďŹ ne. He could grab a ďŹ sh, slap it on the block, and Everett could do the rest. It didn’t take all day to ďŹ gure out why the tongs were out at the chopping block. There wasn’t much talk around the supper table that Sunday night. Emerson got

boiling away until bedtime. No one ever knew if Emerson ever got over his aversion to touching uncooked ďŹ sh, but we all knew he never went near the tongs again. Mother made sure of that. Every Sunday night after that, and even before ďŹ lling the tub with water or gathering up the whites, she got the tongs out of the summer kitchen, slapped them on a chair by the stove, and her look dared anyone to lay a ďŹ nger on them.

Nominate cycling advocates for city award Staff

News - Do you know a cycling star in Ottawa? The city is now accepting nominations for the annual Bruce Timmermans Cycling Award. The annual award is handed out to an individual and an organization that proactively and publicly promotes the benefits and virtues of cycling

as a principal mode of transportation. Criteria include: leading by example, advocating for cycling and supportive facilities, teaching cycling skills and encouraging others to start cycling. The extent and nature of that involvement in community volunteer activities, the extent of cycling they are involved with (commuting,

utilitarian and recreational) as well as their interpersonal skills and the manner in which cycling is being encouraged will also be considered. Last year, the organizational award went to RightBike, a community bike-sharing service. The individual award went to Spencer Sloan, an Industry Canada employee who publishes a widely circulated

cycling newsletter for his workplace and helped set up on-site bicycle maintenance facilities and bike clinics to encourage bicycle commuting. Printable and electronic forms are available at ottawa. ca. Nominations for both individuals and organizations must be submitted before the Feb. 28 deadline.

business that has a local car charger, paid for by a car dealership. He suggests the city allocate $50,000 over four years to allow $1,000 grants to businesses in the city that install chargers. The city could also mandate new homes and condominiums have to build car chargers, and condominiums have to allow residents to include electric car chargers. He suggests allowing them, potentially with a provision that they install a meter, and pay the extra electric costs at the end of the year. Carrière has his own metre, so he knows he spent about $400 last year charging his Chevrolet Volt. His car was more expensive – it would sell now for about $38,000 new he said – but he estimates he saves $2,500 a year in gas. The car makes it about 80 kilometres without needing to use any gas, and can then rely on the 35-litre gas tank. He had to special order the car, and waited six months for it to come in. Carrière believes if more people knew about electric cars and had access to them on dealer lots, they would skyrocket in popularity, saving money and preventing air pollution. The website project will start in Ottawa, and he hopes people across Canada will start to access the website and interact through it. “We’re starting here, we live here,” he said. The electric car owners were scheduled to launch www.timetoelectrify.ca with full content after press time, on the weekend of Feb. 8.

Eric Carrière plugs a charger into his electric car at home in Orléans. The high school teacher is part of a website promoting electric charging stations throughout the city.

R0012548271-0213

News - Orléans resident Eric Carrière is leading the charge for electric cars – literally. He wants to see more car charging stations throughout the city, and regulations to ease the use of electric cars so more residents will consider driving them. This is a driver who commutes to work, travels fairly often to Montreal, and recently made it nine months on one 35-litre tank of gas. His total kilometres driven on that one tank of gas? A mere 14,690. Carrière wants to see electric cars more accessible, which means installing more charging stations, making charging stations standard in new home and condominium buildings, and stocking electric cars on sales lots. Along with several other electric car owners, he’s launching a nonprofit media project, timetoelectrify.ca. It’s similar to its French language sister site of sorts, roulezelectrique.com. They’re aiming to speak with all the local candidates for city councillor in Ottawa about the measures they’d like to city to take for electric cars. He’s already met with some of the candidates in his own Innes Ward. Recently, he hosted a meeting at his home for Ottawa and area electric car owners, where the idea for the website came about. Besides promoting changes they’d like they city to make, the site will have information for anyone looking to buy an electric car, and a media guide for Canadians. One of the things Carrière would like the city to do is provide grants to businesses which install car chargers. He often takes his business where there are car charging stations for “EVs,” electric vehicles, though there are few in Ottawa, outside of dealerships. When Carrière drives to Montreal, he stops where there’s a charger, and does errands like grocery shopping at the nearby stores. He said businesses who install the charger – which he estimates cost no more than $5,000 – will get businesses from the car owners. “They’ll drink coffee, they’ll walk around,” he said. “Everyone who has EVs does that. EV owners, we’ll look up Plugshare (a mobile application to find chargers) and we plan. If there’s three vegetarian restaurants, and only one has a car charger, I’ll go there.” Place d Orléans is one of the few

• 125 ml (1/2 cup) raisins PREPARATION

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, and set the mixture aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, all but 5 ml (1 tsp) of the sugar, oil and vanilla. Add the flour mixture, and mix well -- the resulting mixture will be dry. Stir in the grated apple, coconut and raisins. Spread the mixture into greased and floured 1.5-litre (eight-by-four inch) metal loaf pan. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about one hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Let it cool in a pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Foodland Ontario

FREE PUBLIC SKATING ON MONDAY Enjoy a Family Day skate (no hockey sticks permitted) on Feb. 17th at the Mlacak Arena from 1 – 3 pm. Then enjoy a hot chocolate and cookies as you warm up. TOWN HALL MEETING FEBRUARY 25TH There is a lot happening in Kanata North and my monthly Town Hall Meeting is your chance to hear about changes in the community, new developments, special activities and more. And you can put forward your concerns and ideas to make this an even better place. This month you’ll see plans for a new hotel in the Town Centre, an expansion of the Arcadia subdivision, preliminary information on the expansion lands (see below), updates on school projects and information from the new Sustainable Transportation Committee. All are welcome to attend and participate. Come to the Minto Room, Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata (RRCK) at 7 p.m. PICK YOUR PLAN FOR MARCH ROAD EXPANSION LANDS It’s not often you can help to design a community, complete with homes, stores, schools, parks and facilities, but this year you can do just that for the March Road expansion area. Attend a public meeting on Wed. Feb. 26th at 7 pm at the RRCK to see four options, consolidated from the 15 concepts created by community members last year. You can support an option, parts of several options or make suggestions for changes to any of the options. Everyone is welcome to attend and provide their viewpoint.

Three projects will improve transit service for commuters this year. The first is a new Park and Ride at Innovation and Terry Fox. The second is the extension of the bus rapid transit from Bayshore to Moodie that will start this year and be completed in 2016. The last is work on the Pinecrest Interchange so that eastbound buses will not have to merge into traffic. A Public Open House on the interchange will be held on Monday, February 24, from 4:30 to 7:30 at the Bayshore Shopping Centre where you can view the proposal and provide input into the final design. Go to http:// ottawa.ca/en/major-projects/construction-and-infrastructure, then click on “Construction and infrastructure” and then scroll down to “Hwy 417 – Pinecrest Road Interchange”. BUILDING HEIGHTS IN THE KANATA NORTH BUSINESS PARK (KNBP) The City’s new Official Plan includes a proposal to limit building heights in business parks to 4 storeys, except along transit corridors where they could be 9 storeys. I was able to get the KNBP exempted from this restriction. The KNBP has many taller buildings, and the decision means that the KNBP will continue to develop as envisaged by the former City of Kanata.

Canadian businessman W. Brett Wilson takes questions from the crowd after speaking at Algonquin college on Jan. 30. Plainly not happy being home, Wilson wanted to be at an art auction, bidding on an art piece that would “change my life if it was up on my wall,” he said he thought at the time. Instead of miss out on the opportunity, he decided to bid over the phone. However, by the time he finally heard the phone ring, he was told the piece had already been sold, though several phone calls had been made to his house. Overcome with anger, Wilson said he went up to his young daughter’s room and confronted her about picking up the phone. In the typical, searing honesty of children, his daughter responded, “Because you never are.” “I went back to my room and I got down and cried,” Wilson said. Wilson realized he had no relationship with his young family, and that he was addicted to work. So he checked himself into a rehab centre. Though he would leave with his councillor’s blessing only a week later,

he soon fell back into the business world. But what finally shook him out of it was cancer. Diagnosed with prostate cancer at 43, Wilson was young, but the disease had been with him for a while. With a chance at surviving, he underwent intensive cancer treatment, and lived. Now, with his years on Dragon’s Den behind him, Wilson said he treasures relationships over money, and that the TV show has instilled an interest in entrepreneurship among Canadians that the country sorely needs. Though the show doesn’t represent the true business world in a lot of ways, it shows people that starting their own company or creating a new product is an option. Now Wilson hopes schools will start teaching the tools for people with ideas to do something with them. But, he cautioned, value relationships over money, and always give back to the community.

CAT OF THE WEEK MY NAME IS “JERSEY”

He is a very friendly and playful fellow and adores humans... the love in his heart is ready to be shared with a loving family... and if you can throw in some brushing and cuddles he’ll love you to pieces. He seems to enjoy feline company and gets along with them fine. Come and meet him you will see what we mean by Friendly. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622.

City Councillor, Kanata North

Community - For Canadian businessman W. Brett Wilson, there are three mandatory classes that should be taught starting in Grade 3: marketing, entrepreneurship and philanthropy. While these may seem a bit heady for your average eight- or nine-year-old, Wilson said they have been essential to both his success in business, and his success at navigating that world with some integrity. His efforts have earned him the nickname capitalist with a heart. Wilson made a presentation to general arts and sciences students at Algonquin College on Jan. 30. His talk encompassed much of his life, starting with growing up in a small town in Saskatchewan, getting through university with a few bumps along the way, his success in the energy industry, and his years on CBC’s Dragon’s Den. While Wilson was clear that his path hasn’t been all rainbows and butterflies, he said one of the most significant moments in his life came after loads of success as a businessman, and realizing what that had gotten him. As a founder of FirstEnergy Capital Corp., Wilson was “making money every which way,” he told the crowd. But, this particularly day, he wasn’t making millions as usual. He was babysitting his own kids, as he described it.

News - Sandy Hill residents and students interested in the future of the University of Ottawa can attend an open house Feb. 26 to find out about the university’s upcoming master plan. The meeting, to be held all day at the Jock Turcott University Centre (85 University), is a chance for anyone to

share their experiences of the campus with a team of consultants from Urban Strategies hired by the university to run the project. No draft plan is being proposed yet, but the event will be a chance for the public to find out what the plan will try and accomplish, said George Dark of Urban Strategies, who is leading the project. Dark said the next phase of uOttawa’s development will see it look outside Sandy Hill to its land holdings in Old Ottawa East on Lees Avenue and in Alta Vista. “I don’t see the university growing into Sandy Hill the way it did in the past,” Dark said.

A website, uottawamasterplan.ca, has been launched to keep the public up-to-date on the University of Ottawa’s master planning project. billion annual economic impact locally, Dark said, and it’s quickly growing up into a “big university” at the same time Ottawa is growing into a big city. There will be at least one more public open house for the master plan in 2014, according to the project’s website. People who are interested in the process can follow along on its blog, uottawamasterplan.ca. There is also an option to sign up for email updates through the website.

The master plan process has been quietly chugging along in the background for the past six months as the university worked with the city to align visions for the transit-oriented development plan for the area around the future Lees light-rail station. The city is drafting similar plans for all the light-rail station areas to promote dense development that will support and encourage transit use within a 10-minute walk from the stations. City council approved the

transit-oriented development plans for Lees, Hurdman and Blair stations in January. For Lees Station, the plan calls for buildings up to 45 storeys tall directly next to the station, including on land the university currently uses for its satellite campus and new sports field. The transit-oriented development plan envisions 27,000 people living or working around Lees Station by 2031.

Catching Air Skiers and snowboarders stayed away from the hills and instead flocked to the Glebe on Feb. 8 to take part in The Glebe Rail Jam Ski & Snowboard Competition, held at the corner of Bank Street and Glebe Avenue. Presented by the Glebe Business Improvement Association, the event allowed participants the opportunity to show off their moves, while spectators got to take in a very Canadian winter tradition in the centre of their city.

LET’S JUST SAY WE LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE WE LOOK BOTH WAYS. When it comes to money, specifically your money, we believe there is no substitute for a carefully considered, passionately disciplined investment approach.
