EMC news - Ottawa police are warning residents to stay away from land north of the Beaver Pond, where a developer is cutting down trees on eight hectares of land. Police have received reports of joggers, cyclists and people out for a walk who are ignoring or bypassing no trespassing signs and fences to use a trail that runs between Kanata Lakes and Morgan’s Grant. “There’s a lot of access points and people going through,” said Const. Ryan Strotmann, who checked out the work site on Wednesday, Aug. 22. “Someone’s going to get hurt if they don’t pay attention. We saw foot traffic and bicycle traffic, people disobeying the signs.” TREE CUTTING

Katimavik kids hold fundraiser ‘I felt like I needed to help the world’ Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - Nine-year-old Jasmine Quirk hopes to one day become a doctor and discover a cure for cancer. But she’ll have to wait about a decade before she can enroll in medical school. Until then, the Katimavik girl plans

to keep busy helping improve the world one charity fundraiser at a time. She started her career in philanthropy a few years ago by asking her parents to send donations to the Kanata Food Cupboard and CHEO in lieu of birthday gifts. This summer, Jasmine decided to expand her efforts and form a charity group

made up of 12 of her friends, ranging in age from five to 12, all children who live on Beaufort Drive and Brodeur Crescent in Katimavik. “I wanted to do more (fundraisers),” said Jasmine. “So I decided to do it by the Charity Group.” Jasmine and the group’s co-founder, Grace Dixon, 7, came up with the name during a play date and charity planning session in June.

Councillor says she suffered a fainting spell Blair Edwards and Laura Mueller

blair.edwards@metroland.com

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson was released from hospital this afternoon after fainting at a conference on Wednesday, Aug. 22. Wilkinson said she suffered a fainting spell, not a stroke as suggested by several reports, during a session at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario confer-

ence. “The heart’s fine,” she said. “I got a strong one.” Wilkinson was delivering a speech about cycling at a conference held at the Westin Hotel downtown, when she began slurring her speech and leaned on the podium. “All of a sudden, just like whammo, they tell me I went white as a sheet,” said Wilkinson. The event’s organizer, El-

eanor McMahon of Share the Road Cycling Coalition, said the councillor was showing what McMahon thought were obvious signs of a stroke. “It was sort of like a computer shutting down,” McMahon said. “She was slowing and slurring her words.” Luckily there were nurses and a paramedic in the audience and everyone reacted quickly to get Wilkinson treatment, she said.

ADAM, MILLER, KELLY

Councillor Diane Deans was attending an event in south Ottawa when she learned that Wilkinson was in hospital and was upset. Wilkinson had been attending every session at the AMO conference and had even stayed at the Westin Hotel overnight to speak at a morning session, she said. “She’s been working way too hard, and I’ve told her that she has to slow down,’ said Deans. Wilkinson is known for attending city and com-

munity event on top of being in charge of the city’s huge transportation file, said Deans. “I’m a much younger woman and sometimes I look at her and I think, I don’t know how you do it,” said Deans. “It would be a devastating loss if she can’t come back to council,” she said, adding that would be especially hard because Wilkinson is one of her few female colleagues on council. Wilkinson was taken to

the Ottawa Hospital General campus, where doctors performed a series of tests, but failed to find a reason for the fainting spell. “They don’t know exactly what caused it,” Wilkinson said. “(But) they see it all the time. “I’m going to take it easy for three days,” said Wilkinson, adding that she might attend an upcoming city transit commission meeting on Friday, Aug. 24.

Tree cutting has resumed on eight hectares of land north of the Beaver Pond, where a developer plans to build 400 single homes and townhouses.

BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND

Work expected to finish by Aug. 31 Plans also include a public park and an 80-metre corridor of public land passing through the area. The developer had already cleared 24 hectares of land by February 2011, before work was halted. But it still needed permission to remove 38 butternut trees, recognized as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. “We had permission to cut everything other than the butternut,” said Mary Jarvis,

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Urbandale’s director of planning. Work is expected to finish by Aug. 31. “We still have people travelling through our sites and ignoring the signs posted,” said Jarvis. “The site is formally secured with a complete chain link fence. Our main concern is safety – the feller bunchers can do a lot of damage very quickly.” After the land is cleared, the company will remove the logs and work with the city to finish the project’s engineering design and blasting plan.

Rash of break ins hit north Kanata Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa police are warning residents to lock their doors after reports of 15 break ins of homes in Kanata and Barrhaven during the past week.

The break and enters are of particular concern as they have all occurred at night when people were home, said Staff Sgt. Richard Baldwin-Ooms. “If these guys are doing it while people are in their homes it adds a new element, a safety risk,” he said. “We want

people to be aware and take all reasonable precautions to protect themselves.” In all of the incidents, suspects entered the home through a rear patio door while victims were at home, said police. See LOCK, page 5

Lock your doors, Ottawa police warn residents LOCK YOUR DOORS

Police offer a free home security audit performed by trained volunteers. “Our volunteers are trained to go through a home and say, ‘OK these are the weak points in your home, and these are the steps you can take to make it harder to break into,’” said Baldwin-Ooms. Anyone who would like to arrange a home safety audit in Kanata should call the community police centre at 613-236-1222, ext. 2005. Police offer the following safety tips to prevent break

and enters: • Ensure windows and doors are locked even when you are at home. • Report suspicious activity to police by calling 613-2306211. For a crime in progress call 911. • Keep valuables out of

view of windows and doors. • Join or start a Neighbourhood Watch group in your area. • Schedule a home security evaluation with your local community police centre. For more crime prevention tips visit ottawapolice.ca.

The thieves took items that were in view and easy to remove. “These types of break ins are usually crimes of opportunity,” said Baldwin-Ooms in a press release. “There were other homes noted where would-be thieves attempted to break in but due to locked doors, they were unsuccessful.” Jennifer Goyette and her family were at home asleep when thieves broke into her Morgan’s Grant home on Aug. 13, stealing her purse, two laptops and an iPhone. That night, Goyette had locked her home’s doors after learning her next-door neighbour’s home had been broken into the previous evening.

“I never (usually) lock my doors,” she said. “I always felt safe in this neighbourhood.” The next morning, Goyette walked downstairs and discovered her purse and phone were missing and noticed the patio door was open. “I knew I had locked the patio door,” she said. Goyette said she knows of another home broken into further down her street. “Everyone I know whose been broken into, it’s the back door.” “The thing that really bothered me was we were all sleeping upstairs,” said Goyette. “There’s toys everywhere so they know that there’s children. “My little guy gets up at night and sometimes wan-

ders,” she said. “That’s my concern. The door was open and he could have wandered out.” Since the night of the break-in, Goyette’s 13-yearold stepdaughter has refused to sleep at the house. “She’s been crying,” said Goyette. “She’s scared to sleep in the house because she’s afraid they’re going to come back.” Goyette’s husband has taken to sleeping on the couch downstairs. “I just want to protect the family,” he told his wife. “What if they come back?” Eight of the nighttime break-ins have occurred in the Stonebridge neighbourhood of Barrhaven. Police said they have no reason to suspect they are related to those in Morgan’s Grant. Anyone with information about the break-ins is asked to call the Ottawa police west

Hudak wants to slow payments to cities Balance the budget and encourage prosperity outside the GTA, says opposition leader laura.mueller@metroland.com

TIM HUDAK not being honest with municipal leaders across the province.” Hudak told delegates the final $500 million or so is supposed to be uploaded from municipalities by 2019. Hudak pointed to the Drummond report on Ontario public service reform. The report, released in February, stated that it would be more financially feasible to extend the uploading deadline to 2020. Hudak suggested 2021 as an option, but emphasized that he wouldn’t commit to a particular deadline for the rest of the funding, if an election were called and the PCs were elected. “To be honest, we’re in a

“loopholes” that prevent salary increases in other ways, such as merit pay. “We’ll look closely to make sure those elements are there,” Hudak says. “I do think there is a better plan and I will continue to press that plan.”

Hudak said. The Progressive Conservatives want a “fair, balanced and reasonable” approach that includes across-the-board wage freezes. Hudak says he would want assurances that there are no

STUDENTS FIRST

Tensions between the province and teachers’ unions reached a fever pitch last week with the news that MPPs would be recalled three weeks early to legislate a new contract. Premier Dalton McGuinty wants his “Putting Students First” legislation dealt with by the end of the month to institute some wage freezes and a two-year strike ban. Hudak stopped short of saying he’d support the legislation. “I think it’s been badly bungled, and sadly, students and parents are paying the price as the school year is in jeopardy,”

EMC news - Municipalities should dial down their expectations for provincial funding because Ontario needs to get serious about tackling its debt and balancing the budget, provincial conservative leader Tim Hudak said in Ottawa last week. Hudak spoke to a packed room of municipal representatives from across the province during the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference Aug. 19 to 22. Hudak surprised many municipal leaders at last year’s AMO conference in London, Ont. by stating that he would only commit to the $1 billion or so the province had already uploaded – the implication being that he wouldn’t commit to taking back the remaining $500 million the provincial Liberals had promised to municipalities. This year, Hudak is singing a slightly different tune. “We’re committed to it. We want to see the project done,” Hudak said. “I think anyone that comes out and says they have all kinds of money to do it in a particular time frame is

mess. But we’ll get the job done,” Hudak said. Strengthening local economies throughout the province – not just the GTA – is a priority for Hudak, he told reporters following his speech. “I do think that this government has lost sight of vast parts of our province – eastern Ontario, rural and northern (Ontario),” Hudak said. “I do have a great concern that this government is dominated by thinking that is strictly around the City of Toronto. Clearly, we need to have a thriving Toronto, but we also need to have strong, thriving small-town communities, northern communities and a strong City of Ottawa.” When it comes to funding items like the Ottawa River Action Plan, Hudak said doling out new funding wouldn’t be at the top of his list if he were leading the government. “Job number one” is ending overspending and balancing the budget, Hudak said. “Otherwise, we won’t have the services we hold near and

Motorists must be mindful as students return to class

hile our politicians talk about putting students first with controversial legislation proposals, we can all do our part for young people when motorists begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week. Fleets of school buses will flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools. Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, Sept. 4, but the

French public and Catholic boards open a week earlier. The colour yellow in motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language always translates to one word: caution. Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners. Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion. We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected.

The colour yellow in motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language always translates to one word: caution. Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend waiting at a bus stop. Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September.

They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus. It also allows children and

parents to safely cross the street. By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing. If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fine upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only for a first

conviction. Each subsequent offence can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment up to six months. Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

COLUMN

Maybe the mall is worth saving CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

e expect shock and dismay when a place like Westboro Sports closes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a family-owned business with 48 years of close connection to the community; or when the beloved Newport Restaurant announces that it will downsize and clear out of its historic location. But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect shock and dismay when a shopping centre passes. After all, we associate malls with chain ownership, chain food and with the squeezing out of local businesses. But look at what happened when the roof fell in on a shopping centre in the town of Elliott Lake, forcing the mall to close. The mall building contained 60 per cent of local businesses, as well as the library and some government offices. As reported in the Globe and Mail, the community is stunned and saddened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have no place to go,â&#x20AC;? said one local woman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was their favourite place to be. They liked to hang out there in the mall. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how people were.â&#x20AC;? With all the sentimental attachment we have toward the small independent business of years gone by, we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to get sentimental about shopping centres, too. After all, they have been with us for four or five decades. And for a lot of neighborhoods, not to mention smaller communities, the local shopping centre is the closest thing they have to a main street. Take a careful look the next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in Carlingwood or Billings Bridge or St. Laurent or Westgate. People use those places for more than shopping. They meet their friends, they have lunch, they have coffee, they take power walks.

Mostly, they hang out. Older people hang out, teenagers hang out. You should never underestimate the importance of hanging out. Top-level hanging out enhances our quality of life. Sure, some of us wish the hanging out was in the open air. Some of us wish the open air was on open streets filled with locally-owned shops. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be what has been happening since the first shopping centres were invented. Looking down the road a few years, when the current shopping centres wears out, we can anticipate a wave of nostalgia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember when we used to park on the second deck and take the escalator to the Sports Experts?â&#x20AC;? people will say, a bit like what they say now about riding their bikes to the malt shop or, driving their large cars, powered by leaded gasoline, to the drive-in movie. Anything can be the subject of nostalgia. There was a movie a few years ago about a woman who pined for the lifestyle of East Berlin, before the wall came down. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that people in the future will look fondly back on the mall, remembering when there were five jewelry stores, a tax place, a CD store, a video store, a book store. Remember CDs? Remember videos? Remember books? People may even wax nostalgic about the awful and inescapable music coming out of the ceiling. So perhaps the mall is worth saving after all. As Elliott Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight demonstrates, the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s importance grows in a cold climate. Since, despite everything, we still have a cold climate, it may be time to stop lamenting the mall. By coming to terms with it we have an opportunity to campaign for changes that will mall life more interesting. It goes without saying that more local stores and eating places would help, but the changes can go beyond that. Elliott Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of a library in a mall is brilliant. Sunday markets in those vast parking lots might be popular. Small performance spaces and exhibit spaces for local artists and musicians would enhance the shopping centre experience and benefit the community. After all, if Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture can be humanized, anything is possible.

OC Transpo revealed on Aug. 24 one of the 75 new double-decker buses that will hit the road this fall. Route 61 in Kanata will be one of the first routes to get the new bus.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

On Aug. 24, OC Transpo revealed one of the 75 new double-decker buses that will hit the road this October. The buses hold 90 people and will replace 70-person articulated buses on express and high-capacity routes. Route 61 in Kanata, Route 35 in Orléans, and Route 77 in Barrhaven will be the first to get the new buses. These double deckers are

about 30 centimetres shorter than the three double deckers tested by OC Transpo during a three-year trial project, so they can fit under all bridges in the city. That means the city will spend $72.1 million to buy the buses – $9.7 million less than anticipated, because no changes to bridges need to be made. Using double deckers will save $8.1 million a year beginning next April, when all the new buses are available for service.

EMC news - Parents at Saint-RĂŠmi French Catholic elementary school are raising money to build two play structures for the new Kanata Lakes school. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent transition committee is looking to raise $52,000 from corporate donations to build a play structure for junior and senior kindergarten students and one for grades 1 to 6 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win for businesses,â&#x20AC;? said Louise de Vynck, a member of the parent committee. Businesses can generate goodwill in the community and the children get a playground, she said. The French Catholic school board of central-east Ontario has already contributed $8,000 for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had some excellent community support from a couple of organizations,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa Blair, a member of the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely looking for corporate sponsorships that would be recognized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity for local businesses,â&#x20AC;? said Blair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play structures are also accessible to the rest of the community.â&#x20AC;?

Children learn safety tips in annual bus safety awareness day kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - One child fatality is one too many for Sue Scolli. That’s why Scolli, transportation co-ordinator at the Ottawa Student Transporta-

tion Authority, lead the annual School Bus Safety Awareness Day at Woodroffe High School on Aug. 26. “The main thing is the safety of the child,” said Scolli. “That there are no fatalities and that no one gets hurt.” Woodroffe High School

was one of the sites across the city that took part in the annual day staged by the four school boards, area bus companies and the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority. Sessions also took place onAug. 26 at Earl of March Secondary School, École

élémentaire catholique Saint- Joseph d’Orléans, St. Peter High School, St.Mark High School and École élémentaire publique Charlotte Lemieux. Each session took about 45 minutes and showed children who will be taking the school bus for the first time this year safety tips for waiting, riding and getting off the bus. Scolli said the annual event is in its 20th year. “We’re now teaching the kids of parents we taught before,” said Scolli, adding that the day is extremely important in showing children how to safely ride the school bus that haven’t before and to serve as a reminder for some children in younger grades. “The goal is basically safety. Kids don’t know what they’re supposed to do.” Some of the important safety tips the sessions high-

light include how many steps back to take from a bus once it’s stopped and to never go in front of the bus. Scolli said everyone can feel safer when following the rules presented at the session,

including parents and drivers. “There are four year-olds leaving mommy who never left mommy before,” she said. “We just want to make (riding the bus) safe, comfortable and secure.”

For a first offense, drivers face a fine between $400 and $2,000 and the loss of six demerit points from their licence. Each subsequent offence brings fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, as well as

six demerit points and the possibility of serving up to six months in jail. Motorists are also reminded that roadways in a designated school zone have a speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour. Drivers who exceed this speed limit by 16 to 29 kilometres per hour can lose three demerit points and be forced to pay a fine, while those found to be going 50 kilometres per hour above the posted speed limit could be faced with the loss of six demerit points, a suspended licence, and a fine of up to $10,000 under the Safer Roads for a Safer Ontario Act. Around schools, watch for school safety patrollers wearing bright green vests at crosswalks. The program involves thousands of patrollers across the country who are dedicated to making sure students have a safe commute to and from school.

From left, Grace Dixon, 7, and Jasmine Quirk, 9, organized a children’s charity group this summer to raise money to ‘improve the world’.

PHOTOS BY BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND

Anna Powers, 8, and Grace Dixon, 7, put on a puppet show, using handmade puppets, to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Meet Katimavik’s ‘Charity Group,’ from left, Matthew Winter, Scott Rousseau, Joshua Winter, Jacintha Luo, Jasmine Quirk, Leanne Luo, Nicholas Winter, Devin Quirk and Graham Powers. Two members of the group missing from the photograph (they were busy performing a puppet show) are Grace Dixon and Anna Powers.

Continued from page 1

“We didn’t really ask people what it should be called,” said Grace. The girls typed up scripts and pamphlets advertising the group on the Quirk’s family computer and then delivered them throughout their neighbourhood. Scott Rousseau, 11, started a blog – www.the charitygroup.blogspot.ca – discussing the group’s projects. “It’s not really hard to do it if you know how,” he said. “I did a story on how we did the Cattail Creek (clean up), but we didn’t have any pictures in it.” Scott’s reasons for joining the group were simple. “I felt like I needed to help the world.” In July, the children’s Charity Group embarked on their first project: cleaning up Cattail Creek Park. Armed with

garbage bags, the children scoured the park for any discarded trash or litter such as pop cans or plastic containers. “I like doing this because I like making the world a better place,” said Jasmine. “I want to make the world a better place so no one will ever get sick.” The Charity Group next turned its attention to finding a cure for cancer, deciding to hold a neighbourhood carnival at the Quirk’s home on Brodeur Crescent on Saturday, Aug. 25. The children set a fundraising target of $200, with all money going to the Canadian Cancer Society. The children’s parents chipped in, providing baked goods and other goodies displayed on tables on the Quirk’s driveway. Jasmine – also known as “The Great Jasmini” – set up a fortune teller’s booth, where for the price of a donation to

the Canadian Cancer Society, she would peer into her crystal ball and unveil the mysteries of the future. Scott, together with David Kormylo, 11, and Jacintha Luo, 12, ran a soak station, allowing patrons to toss a wiffle ball at a collection of containers on the Quirk’s front lawn, and win a chance to soak Scott, David and Jacintha with either a water gun, a water balloon or a garden hose. Often, the good-natured trio allowed patrons to use a combination of all three. The festival also provided a crayon station, where very small children could explore their artistic temperament while their older siblings enjoyed the rest of the event. Meanwhile, Grace and Anna Powers, 8, staged several puppet shows for guests, using hand-made puppets, created with paper bags and colouring pencils. The festival

surpassed the fundraising goal, with the group collecting a grand total of $704.50. Next on the agenda? Grace and Jasmine both agree the Charity Group needs to help animals – they’re considering holding a fundraiser to help either the Ottawa Humane Society or the Wild Bird Care Centre. “They really are hoping to do something for the animals,” said Jasmine’s mother, Laura Quirk. Another mother from Jasmine’s school said her children liked the idea of helping animals so much they started making cards and selling them to their neighbours to raise money for a bird sanctuary. “Kids motivating kids,” said Quirk. “Cool.” For more information about the Charity Group visit the blog at www.thecharitygroup. blogspot. ca.

Registration to take place Sept. 12 at Sacred Heart 872 Kanata Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron

EMC news - Are you between the ages of 12 and 18? Do you like airplanes, sports, music, outdoor activities, making new friends or challenging yourself? If you said yes to any of these questions, air cadets might be for you. The 872 Kanata Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron, in operation since 1978, has over 120 cadets from Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and Barrhaven, who participate in annual programs and events like glider and fly days (imagine being up there in a real glider), ground school, bush weekends, band, drill team, biathlon and public speaking events. Other activities on the squadron calendar have included first-aid training, a formal mess dinner, sleepovers at the National Aviation Museum and year-end outings (such as go-carting, bowling,

laser tag and tree top adventures at Camp Fortune). In addition, 872 Squadron is proud to annually participate in a number of national and community parades – the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Memorial Parade, the Battle of Britain Ceremony, Remembrance Day at the Kanata Cenotaph and the Kanata Santa Claus Parade. Every summer cadets from across Canada have an opportunity to attend all-expense paid camps with themes such as outdoor survival, music, leadership, introduction to aviation and marksmanship. A few cadets go on to win scholarships through which they spend the summer earning their glider pilot’s wings and even their powered aircraft pilot’s license. All this and more with no registration fees and real uniforms provided. The air cadet program, which fosters leadership, physical fitness, citizenship, teamwork and personal development, is run in partnership between members of the Air Cadet League of Canada and Canadian Forces personnel. The 872 Squadron summarizes the program in its motto: to learn, to serve, to advance.

To join or just to come see what the 872 Air Cadet Squadron is all about, youth between the ages of 12 and 18 can drop in on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, Abbeyhill Drive, Glen Cairn. The squadron’s first registration date will be on Sept. 12 at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville starting at 6:30 p.m. But new cadets often sign up throughout the year once they have reached the age of 12. More information can be found on the squadron’s website at 872-squadron-rcac.ca or by calling 613-290-2750. Cadets make new lifelong friends and experience new, exciting and challenging adventures, following in the footsteps of successful Canadians such as astronaut Chris Hadfield, Olympian Myriam Bedard, and actor Jim Carey – all former cadets. The 872 Squadron is a registered charity, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Nepean, and gratefully accepts donations from the communities it serves by mail, through the 872 website, or via payroll deductions where available.

Promote self-confidence in children through sports and martial arts It’s no secret that playing individual and team sports can help children develop social skills and raise self-esteem. There are several classes offered through Ottawa’s Parks Recreation and Cultural Services department that offer these benefits and more for any child looking to learn skills for life.

There is a variety of sports options for adults and children alike through City-wide Sports. Girls ‘n Women and Sport run physical activity programs that promote fun, friendship, skill development, confidence building and fair play values while learning to play in a team setting.

You can review these classes by visiting ottawa.ca/recreationguide.

More than sports

For some, the journey to higher selfesteem begins and ends with martial arts. You can register for a variety of martial arts classes, from the more familiar practices such as Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to confidence, martial arts is known to promote physical fitness, discipline, respect and self control. Participating in sports and exercise can create a supportive environment that acknowledges a child’s skill development and provide positive social relationships with teammates and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning sports club for a unique team experience.

Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain confidence in their abilities through Jazz dance; or, improve balance, coordination and self-esteem through Irish dancing. How about Cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?

Cornmeal muffins always pass taste test

hether your taste runs to a bowl of spicy chili or a steaming plate of beef stew, you’ll enjoy the taste of these cornmeal muffins. These are slightly sweet, moist and simple to make. You can find the cornmeal in the supermarket, usually in the section with the cooked cereals such as oatmeal. If you find the muffins start to get a bit dry after a couple of days (if they last that long), just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. They’ll taste almost as fresh as if they just came out of the oven. This recipe makes a large batch, 12 to 16 muffins, but they freeze well. I thaw a few and then reheat them in the toaster oven. CORNMEAL MUFFINS

• 1 1/2 cups cornmeal

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 3/4 cups ﬂour • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder • 1 1 /2 tsp. baking soda • 2/3 cup brown sugar • 1/2 tsp. salt • 2 eggs • 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 Tbsp. vinegar with enough regular milk to make 2 cups) • 1/4 cup vegetable oil Generously grease a muffin pan. I use a pastry brush because it’s quick and less messy than other methods. In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder baking soda, salt and sugar.

In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk and oil. Pour this into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined. Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake at 400 F (205 C) for about 15 minutes. If you’re not sure whether they’re done, insert a toothpick in the centre of a muffin near the middle of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re done. Let the muffins sit in the pan for five minutes, then you’ll be able to remove them without having them break apart. Serve warm.

Baby chick certainly had fashion sense Learning that it was not wise to have a farm animal as a pet was a hard lesson for me when I was young. Sooner or later, it would be hauled off in the back of the wagon or peddled door-to-door in Renfrew. Many would end up in our smokehouse. But that didn’t stop me from favouring a baby lamb or a newborn calf, and at one time I was especially fond of a chicken that I had named Squeaky. It had come into the world in the late spring, bursting out of a shell right before my eyes one rainy day. All the other baby chicks were bright yellow, but this little one was almost white and its feathers were few and far between. Father said it was a weakling and he doubted it would survive. But survive it did and it was soon obvious it was not going to be at all like the other chickens. I could see that as it grew it was not going to have much in the way of feathers. Father said that happened sometimes. A cull, he called it. I took to that little chicken and it to me and we were soon inseparable. It didn’t look like a chicken and it certainly

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories didn’t sound like one. While the others chirped, this one squawked and that’s why I decided to call it Squeaky. My brothers made fun of the little bare chicken with nothing more than a bit of fuzz around its tail end and a few scraggly hairs at its neck. The rest of its body was completely bare and pink. It had lost its colour as it grew. As the summer wore on and the warm days got chilly, I grew increasingly concerned about Squeaky. It was often pushed aside by the other chickens and I would find it huddled by itself in a corner of the chicken coop trying to keep warm. I begged Mother to let me bring it in the house at night. I told her I would look after it and I would keep it in a cardboard box so that it wouldn’t

dirty the kitchen floor. Mother said farm animals belonged in the barn, chickens in the chicken coop. After many tears and promises to scrub the floor on my hands and knees if there was a reason to, Mother finally agreed that I could bring Squeaky into the house to sleep. I emptied a box I found in the drive shed and put one of my dolls’ blankets in it and situated Squeaky and the box behind the Findlay Oval. When I went to bed that first night, the last thing I did before climbing the stairs was check on Squeaky. She was asleep with that bare head tucked under an equally bare wing, the picture of perfect chicken contentment. For the first time in many nights I would go to sleep as-

sured that my pet chicken was warm and safe. As soon as Mother blew out the coal oil lamp and the kitchen was turned to black, loud squawks could be heard right through the house. I could hear Father jumping out of bed, while Audrey and I sat bolt upright. I flew downstairs in the dark just as Father was lighting the lamp and peering into the box behind the stove. There was Squeaky with her head in the air and her mouth wide open letting out the most outrageous roars I ever heard come out of a chicken. Mother said she was to be taken right out to the chicken coop. I started to wail that it was the middle of the night and that Squeaky would be frightened to death. “Best thing that could happen to her,” I heard Emerson say from the top of the stairs. I learned early in life that if I cried as if my heart was broken I could usually move Father. Mother was another matter. But that night it was Father’s decision that the chicken could stay in the house upstairs beside my bed, but that it would be the

last night it would be sleeping anyplace but in the henhouse. I was sure if it had to spend one more night out in that drafty place it would surely freeze to death. It was my very clever sister Audrey who had the perfect solution the next day. She said not to worry – she would take care of the situation. The morning broke cold and windy for a late summer day. When I leaned out of the bed Squeaky was still fast asleep, just as I had left her with my sweater over her naked body. Audrey got out of bed and headed right for the box I kept my doll clothes in. She took out a tiny sweater with buttons I used on my China doll Aunt Lizzie had sent me from Regina. She forced Squeaky’s legs into the arm holes and buttoned the sweater across its bare breast. It fit her like a glove and once she had shaken her legs a couple of times, resigned herself to her new clothes. We walked right out the kitchen door with the chicken in my doll’s sweater and over to the chicken coop. When

Vandalism at site of new mosque prompts security measures Local MP to champion for security from the federal government. Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – The South Nepean Muslim Community is planning to increase security at the site of their future community centre and Masjid at 3020 Woodroffe Ave. Dr. Emdad Khan, the president of the SNMC, said there have been four incidents of vandalism on the sign in front of the construction site near the intersection of Woodroffe and Longfields Drive. There has also been some vandalism, including graffiti and smashed windows at the groups’ temporary home at 3131 Jockvale Rd. “We have met with the Ottawa police to see what we can do about combating this,” Dr. Khan said. “Now we are enlisting the help of our elected officials.” To address the issue, the SNMC will need to install security equipment to prevent further damage to the site and to protect the people working on it. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre is encouraging the SNMC to apply for a grant through the federal Se-

curity Infrastructure Program. This program was created last year to help communities at risk fund improvements to their security infrastructure, protecting them from future threats. “I was deeply concerned when I found out about the continuing vandalism that has been occurring at the future SNMC Center and Masjid,” said Poilievre. “As a representative and resident of this community, I want to express my support to the SNMC and thank them for the great work that they continue to do in the area.” Poilievre added that it is important to nip the vandalism in the bud before the community centre construction was completed. SNMC has a membership of 8,000 Muslims in the South Nepean area and participates in the annual Canada Day festivities in Barrhaven. They also gather donations for the Barrhaven Food Cupboard. A walk-a-thon, barbecue and bike-a-thon to raise money for the building of the new centre will take place on Sept. 23. Participants will walk 4.5 kilometres or bike nine kilometres in the area around the site. For more information on the walk-a-thon visit www. snmc.ca.

Audrey put her down she went scurrying into the crowd demanding her share of the feed. Just before it got dark that night, Audrey and I went out to take one last look. There was Squeaky apart from the rest of the chickens, fast asleep in her bright red and yellow hand knit sweater. A clever girl was my sister Audrey. Emerson said the coloured sweater would put off the other hens from laying eggs. Audrey said to pay him no attention. My featherless chicken kept growing into larger sweaters. I dreaded the day when she would join the others in the back of the old Model T Ford to be taken into Renfrew and traded for sugar and flour. But Father and Mother decided, because she was such an odd looking bird, she would likely be as tough as blazes. Squeaky was allowed to live out her life naturally to my great relief. She was featherless and stayed bared in the warm weather, and when the weather was cold, she was cozily wrapped in a doll’s sweater.

From Left, Syed Ashraf, Khalil Alqam, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Dr. Emdad Khan and Imam Dr. Zijad Delic are pictured in front of a sign advertising a new South Nepean Muslim Centre and Masjid on Woodroffe Avenue. The sign has been vandalized four times in the past year.

Plasco deals almost final

Check your smoke alarm City of Ottawa

Did you know that working smoke alarms can cut your chances of dying in a fire by 50 per cent? In Ontario, having working smoke alarms is not only a good idea -- it’s the law. Ottawa Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, and outside your sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms every month and change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. A working smoke alarm and a home fire escape plan will significantly increase your chances of surviving a fire.

EMC news – The city and Plasco Energy Group could be days away from finalizing contracts needed to bring a world-first garbage-to-energy plant in Ottawa. The company has been quiet for the past eight months, since city council signed off on the terms of the deal last December. The contract will make Ottawa the first city in the world to use Plasco’s plasma gasification technology to take leftover residential garbage and use a novel plasma process to turn it into electricity. It has taken eight months, but final contracts are right around the corner, said Plasco CEO Rod Bryden. “I think that both the city and we thought that we’d be done maybe two months ago,” Bryden said. The delay amounts to the “meticulous care” the city and its lawyers have taken when it comes to “analyzing every word” in the series of six agreements that will soon be signed. Environment committee chairwoman Coun. Maria McRae was pleased to hear that. “These are very complicated technical legal agreements,” she said. “Council did not give a mandate to city manager to execute them quickly, he was asked to execute them thoroughly.” Last December, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said the deal is a good one for the city. “We have been very, very diligent in protecting the city’s interests if this works out … and if it doesn’t (work out),” Kirkpatrick said at the time. Part of that confidence comes from the willingness of international investors to

put their money into Plasco’s plan. The “due diligence” of corporations that are investing millions of dollars into the projects is something the city can take as a sign of faith. If that money – and faith – is still there when Plasco begins constructing the facility, it’s a good sign, Kirkpatrick said. Bryden spoke to the Kanata Kourier Standard following a presentation to municipal politicians from across the province at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference held in Ottawa from Aug. 19 to 22. He said his company is already in the process of tendering for production of the equipment needed for the plant, which will process 109,500 tonnes of Ottawa’s residential garbage each year. Construction on the site near the Trail Road landfill will begin this spring, Bryden said, and it should wrap up by the first three months of 2014. After a six-month conditioning period, it will be ready for full-scale processing, Bryden said. The city has already agreed to pay a tipping fee of $82.25 for each tonne of trash delivered to Plasco for processing. That would amount to $9.1 million per year. Plasco leases the threehectare piece of land from the city for a nominal fee, and the land isn’t taxed, but Plasco is covering the $175 million needed to construct the facility. There is also a revenue sharing agreement for profits made from selling the electricity to be produced at the Plasco plant. The biggest financial benefit of the Plasco plant would be the extended life it will give to the Trail Road landfill, city treasurer Marion Simulik said last December. The city estimates it would cost $248

Without Plasco, the city would be forced to do that in 2042, but using the new technology would extend the dump’s life until 2070. “This is a thrilling and exciting time in the city of Ottawa. It’s a huge step in waste disposal world,” McRae said. “I want this thing to rock and roll.” If for some reason the city and Plasco don’t end up proceeding with their partnership, Plasco could always

take the “modules” of equipment on order for its Ottawa plant and re-use them for other facilities it has in the works in China, California, the United Kingdom and the Bahamas. While Ottawa is still on track to have the first full-scale Plasco facility, Bryden said he hopes to sell 130 modules (each plant could be between one and three modules, depending on how much waste it will process) in the next five years.

MRCA offers a picnic in the park March Rural Community Association

EMC events - March rural residents are invited to join a Picnic in the Park at Sheila McKee Park located at 1620 Sixth Line Rd. in Dunrobin on Sept. 8. The event will offer activities for children and families running from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and will include a kinder playground, basketball courts, and fun games.

The West Carleton Dog Agility Club will be putting on a demonstration at 1 p.m., and the event will also offer guided nature walks along the forest trails. A free barbecue will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The community police officer and the area’s public health nurse will attend the event. The Riverfront Park/ YMCA grounds on Sixth Line Road were renamed Sheila McKee Park last June. The community associa-

tion has planned this event as a celebration of the newly renamed, but well-loved park, in memory of McKee. The park includes a YMCA outdoor camp, and the former Riverfront Park with its walking trails and old-growth forest, which stretches down to the Ottawa River. The event will take place at the YMCA entrance, and the association will be using their facilities for the day. The event will run rain or shine.

EMC news - Ninety-five per cent of Presto card taps are now working on OC Transpo buses, according to Metrolinx officials. Speaking at a transit commission meeting on Aug. 24,

OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said he is “cautiously optimistic” about the future of the smart-card payment system. The city delayed Presto’s rollout from July 1 until February of 2013 due to a series of technical glitches that prevented payments from being

registered on card readers installed on 60 per cent of OC Transpo buses during a trial run. While Presto is used in several cities in southern Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa is the first city to roll out a “new generation” system. Transit users involved in the pilot project had been getting error messages when they tap their cards on the readers to pay their bus fare, while others reported that the cards aren’t recognizing when the user

That will give OC Transpo and Metrolinx a chance to respond to any capacity issues that could arise, and to make it easier for customers to adapt to the new system. Details on that phased roll out will be presented to the

city’s transit commission in October or November, Manconi said. While Metrolinx and Accenture have fixed some problems, new issues have cropped up. There is an issue with handheld devices OC Transpo enforcement officers use to check riders’ cards. While the officers can still use the devices to check peoples’ fares, there are defects that the manufacturer is working to fix. There are also worries that the time it takes for a Presto

“Where Smiles Come Alive”

STUDENT FARES

Following anger that the introduction of the Presto card meant students over age 19 who can’t get a U-pass would have to pay the full adult fare rather than a student fare, Metrolinx officials confirmed that the student fare age isn’t a dealbreaker for the Presto system. The reasoning behind creating a cut-off age of 19 for student bus passes was to align the fare structure with other areas that use Presto, such as the GTA and Hamilton. But in response to a question from Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, McCuaig said the Ottawa transit commission has the final say over its fare structure – Metrolinx’s role is to implement the fares that the commission decides on. Bloess tabled a motion to increase the age for a student pass, but it was defeated with all commissioners except Bloess voting against the

that McCuaig’s statements about fares is “new information,” she said that Presto integration was never the only reason for changing the age for a student pass.

Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible.

A commission can depart from the 25 per cent guideline to deal with extraordinary circumstances. The commission makes final decisions about where

EMC news - Proposed changes to Canada’s federal ridings would move West Carleton residents into a new riding and split them away from Mississippi Mills. The Ontario Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, one of 10 set up across the country, has proposed 15 more electoral districts for Ontario, including one new one in the Ottawa area, to bring the province’s total to 121. The changes will be the subject of public hearings this fall, including a two-day session in Ottawa’s Hampton Inn and Conference Centre Nov. 5-6, both starting at 10 a.m. The proposed changes would see West Carleton split from Mississippi Mills with a Carleton-Kanata riding replacing the current CarletonMississippi Mills. The Pakenham and Almonte area would move back into a Lanark-based riding. Carleton-Kanata would also lose an area east of March Road. The far-flung Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington riding would become LanarkHastings-Frontenac, gaining a large rural area stretching from Bancroft to Stirling (Hastings), but losing its southern extension into Napanee and Odessa (Lennox and Addington). There has been a move in Lanark to make the riding more manageable size-wise and bring Mississippi Mills back into the fold. The increase in Ontario ridings is based on a rise in the province’s population from 11.4 million in 2001 to almost 12.9 million in the 2011 census. The proposed new electoral districts would be located mostly in the Greater Toronto area with additions in Brampton (two), Durham (two), Markham (two), Mississauga, Oakville, Toronto (two) and York. The other four would be in Ottawa, Simcoe, Hamilton and Cambridge. As well, despite a slight population decline, the commission has maintained 10 electoral districts in northern Ontario as a minimum for its effective representation. “Population shifts and increases, efforts to honour existing municipal boundaries whenever possible, andarriving the establishment of 15 new electoral districts have required substantial adjustment to Ontario’s electoral map,” said Justice George Valin, chair of the three-member commission. Douglas Colbourne and Leslie Pal are the other members of the commission responsible for readjusting the

Veterans and military officials alike gathered for the 45-minute ceremony, which included speeches from Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau and Walt Natynczyk, chief of defence staff. “Today, if the Canadian Forces are respected, it’s because of our veterans, and their service to Canada, because of their extraordinary example, because of their high standards, because they trained us so well,” said Natynczyk. “We march in their footsteps, we sail in their wake, and we fly on their wings.” Special guest Jacques Cing-Mars was also recognized.

Knights football returns to Bob Barr field Club’s teams will hold home season opener on Sept. 7-9 Matt Shumsky

EMC sports - The Kanata Knights are set to kick-off another action-packed season of football. The Knights are fielding four teams this year: midget, mosquito, peewee and tykes, accommodating children from ages eight to 19. The club’s season runs for nine weeks; starting on Friday, Aug. 24, and wraps up on the weekend of Oct. 20. But the Knights hope to be playing well past the end of the regular season. “The peewee team expects to be able to compete with the larger clubs this year and hopefully win a championship cup,” said first-year head coach of the peewee team Les Kraeker. “Our up-and-coming quarterback Tyler Rehman is developing into one of the best,” he said. The peewees, with players ages 13 to 14, lost their season opener by a score of 48-6 against the Nepean Redskins at Bob Stephen Football Field in Barrhaven on Friday, Aug. 24. The tyke team, for children ages eight to 10, have similar playoff aspirations. “This appears to be the

best tyke team we have seen in many years. We have the ability to pass and run well,” said third-year head coach Mike Brown. “We do have quite a few awesome players. We have three strong linebackers. Our defence will be led by Jack MaCrady at noseguard and Denny and Kaseem Ferdinand at outside linebacker,” said Brown. Defense wins championships, he said. The tykes opened their season with a 13-12 win over the Nepean Redskins at Bob Stephen on Aug. 26. The tykes brought home the West End Cup, for the first time since the contest – the first game of the season played between the tyke Knights and Redskins – was created in 2007. The midget team, for boys ages 17 to 19 represents the future stars of tomorrow and showcases some of Kanata’s best athletes before they head off to University or the National Collegiate Athletic Association, said midget head coach Geoff Graham. Graham expects his club to be a playoff contender but preaches respect for his opponents. “We want to compete to

our highest abilities but at the same time doing it respectfully towards our opponents and the officials.” The midget Knights won their first game of the season with a 21-7 victory over the Redskins at Bob Stephen on Aug. 24. The mosquito team, which has players ages 11 to 12 and operates under the tutelage of head coach Neall Hards, also has playoff aspirations. The mosquito Knights lost their first game of the season by a score of 55-6 at Bob Stephen on Aug. 26. The midgets will play their home-opener at Robert Barr Football Field, located next to the Kanata Recreation Complex, on Friday, Sept 7, starting at 7:30 p.m. The club runs a canteen on the field, providing hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks. The other three Knights teams will play their home opener at Robert Barr on Saturday, Sept. 8, starting at 9 a.m. The Knights have something for kids of all ages, said Barr. “Our club has always been a family environment,” said club president Robert Barr. “The strength of our club has always been and always will be the players, cheerleaders, volunteers, families and friends. Visit out sidelines and our canteen and you’ll see what I mean.”

The Knights defeated the Redskins 13-12, good enough to start the National Capital Amateur Football Association season with a 1-0 record and win the West End Challenge for the first time since it was created in 2007.

The West End Challenge Trophy is awarded every year to the winners of the first regular season game between the Knights and the Redskins. Devaughn Blackwood rushed for 92 yards and Tommy Graham and Akash Prasad scored the Knights touchdowns. The defence played as one unit with contributions from everyone. The Knights next play the West Carleton Wolverines on Sunday Sept. 2 at Beckwith field in West Carleton.

Thank you to the many residents who have expressed concern over the health incident I suffered last week. Social media was at work with news being tweeted before I even left the hotel and making it sound much worse than what happened! The real situation is that during my presentation on cycling in Ottawa, I suddenly began to feel that I was about to faint, which resulted in a slowing of speech and I evidently turned white as a sheet. That is not a good thing to do during a public session! Fortunately the organizer instantly put me into a chair so I didn’t actually pass out – but that ended my presentation! On the urging of those present, I agreed to go to the hospital to be checked out. The tests there showed that I had recovered but on the urging of my colleagues I took a few days off just to be sure. I am also following up with my own doctor to see if we can find out why I became faint.

Stallions reload for 2012-13 CCHL season Team will have to rely on solid defensive play to make playoffs: head coach

ing that veteran forwards Brandon Petrie and Joe Breslin will likely move up to the team’s first line. “They’re going to have to step up now that we’ve lost the guys we’ve lost.” Last year, the Stallions were guaranteed a spot in the Fred Page Cup, by virtue of hosting the annual national junior hockey tournament between winners of the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League, the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), the Maritime Hockey League and the host team. The Stallions failed to earn a playoff spot in the 2012 CCHL playoffs, finishing the season with a 24-32 record, placing ninth in the 12-team league. “This year we have to earn our way to the Fred Page Cup,” said Foster. “Making the playoffs will be first and foremost for us. There’s no guarantees this year.”

EMC sports - The Kanata Stallions are reloading their lineup for the upcoming Central Canada Hockey League season. With the loss of two of their top scorers, Ryan Donnelly and Brent Bisbee, who together generated nearly a quarter of the Stallions’ points last season with 120 goals and assists between them, the team will depend on its veterans to fill the team’s scoring void. Fabien Walsh, a centre acquired from the Cornwall Colts late last season, will hopefully provide some firepower on the Stallions’ first line, said Kanata’s head coach Corey Foster. “We’re expecting a lot from him,” Foster said, add-

TRAINING CAMP

Foster, entering his second year as head coach of the Stallions, took his first look at his prospective team last weekend, with the start of training camp on Friday, Aug. 24.

The team held fitness evaluations and scrimmages, with 53 players vying for a spot on the Stallions’ 22-man roster. Foster said this year’s team will have nine to 10 spots – taking into account returning veterans – up for grabs. “We look pretty good,” he said. “We’re happy with the new kids in camp.” Cameron Blakely, a right winger who played with Ridley College Prep School in St. Catharines, Ont., last season, hopes to win one of those spots. Blakely, who racked up 19 goals, 23 assists and 112 penalty minutes in 45 games playing for Ridley last season, said he hopes to fill the role of a grinder on the Stallions. “I’m happy I can step up on the team,” he said. “Obviously the goal is to go the (National Collegiate Athletic Association). I hope to get some exposure to colleges.” The team’s goaltending once again looks to be strong this season, with the return of Brandon Lane, who had a 3.61 goals against average and a .908 save percentage during 44 games in 2011-12.

The Kanata Stallions look to play a tough defensively-responsible game this season in their hunt to make the playoffs. The season starts at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Friday, Sept. 7, at 8 p.m.

Making a difference Volunteering is defined as the act of working on behalf of others without financial or material gain. At the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, volunteers are described as individuals helping to build a better community through the generosity of their time, their energy and their skills. Our volunteers are fundamental and provide a vital link in the delivery of services to children in our community. Volunteering at the CAS There are several reasons why you may be interested in volunteering. It may be a means of exploring new challenges or discovering new career options. You may be looking to develop interpersonal skills or gain self-confidence. Volunteering can be a great way to meet new people and through their experiences and your own, you may gain a better understanding of the people and organizations in our community. That being said, to many, the greatest satisfaction in volunteering at the CAS, is knowing they have made a difference in the life of a child or youth. From all walks of life Our volunteers are residents of our community who chose to give their time. They are men and women over the age of 18, single or partnered and represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Our volunteers are from all walks of life, but they share a common goal: improving the life of a child or youth. Volunteer opportunities With back-to-school season upon us, our biggest opportunity is becoming a volunteer driver. These individuals assist with school drives, in the morning and afternoons, but also bring children and youth from foster homes to scheduled appointments. “Volunteering give me a sense of worthwhile. It doesn’t feel like work and I’m able to give something back - it’s like a breath of fresh air” – Richard M. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver or tutor, we will be hosting an orientation session on September 5th, 2012 at 6:00 pm. Remember, the caring gift of your time assists the Society in its efforts to keep the children and youth of our community safe and secure.

is good. “I think we’re going to have to play good defence,” said Foster. “We don’t have a lot of scorers. We’re going to have to win the 2-1 games.” The first step will be improving the team’s penalty kill, he said. “We were terrible last year,” said Foster. “Penalty killing is more about commitment …finding guys to do what it takes: blocking shots, that kind of thing.” The key to a successful season will depend on playing solid five-on-five and icing good specialty teams, he added.

Toddlers get a kick out of new soccer program Matt Shumsky

EMC sports - A Kanata woman has started a soccer program designed to introduce young children ages two to four to the beautiful game. “There really wasn’t much out there for kids of this age to get involved in sports,” said Holly Cenedese, founder of Mini Kicks Ottawa. “So I figured I’d start something that could provide organized recreation for these kids.” Cenedese, who is a young mother herself, has her children participating in the program. She said the program helps prepare young kids for school. “I want kids to have some experience in sport before they get into school,” said Cenedese. “It gives them confidence to get involved while also learning to obey rules and follow instructions.” Elliott was one of the two year olds who took part in the program this summer. “I really like Coach Holly! I like soccer and I really liked bouncing and kicking the balls,” he said.

After watching Cenedese co-ordinate a lesson, you come to understand the passion and care she has for all of these young children, said Andrew Skinner, whose son Dexter is in the program. “She’s been great with all the kids,” said Skinner. “It’s

“I want kids to have some experience in sport before they get into school. Holly Cenedese

helped keep our son active while also teaching him important social skills.” The program offers more than just soccer. Kids play with hula-hoops, obstacle courses and of course, oversized bouncy balls. Cenedese said children need more than just soccer balls to keep entertained. It has to be about having fun. “You can’t do just soccer,” said Cenedese. “You have to keep the kids entertained. At this age, you have to make sure you keep them captivated.”

The summer program wrapped up its last session on Aug. 25 at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville. Each child received a certificate of completion, with each of them walking away smiling holding their diplomas up over their heads. Although the summer session has wrapped up, young parents will still have a chance to enroll their kids in this program. Cenedese said she plans to offer more programs in the fall-based on demand. The fall session starts Sept. 29 at the Church of Nazarene in Bridlewood and Cenedese is offering programs for two to three year olds and a separate program for three to four year olds. The fall session will run for nine weeks and costs $150 plus tax. Cenedese also provides parents with ‘toddler friendly recipes.’ Fun and interesting ways to slip healthy foods like fruits and veggies into the kids meals. This is all a part of the program. For more information call 613-404-9390 or email minikicksottawa@gmail.com.

EMC community - There are a lot of budding, talented singers coming out of Ottawa, said Eldon Fox, founder and organizer of Kiwanis Idol. Fox started Kiwanis Idol almost a decade ago, a scaled down version of the hit television talent-show American Idol. “This is the only event of its kind that gives our great young singers a chance to show off their talent on stage in front of their peers,” said Fox. “This will be nine years for Kiwanis Idol and the response has always been very positive from the parents and the public.” There were many singers who auditioned for the event but only the top 20 are selected to perform in the semi-final event at the Place d’Orléans Shopping Mall on Sept 1 and only 10 of those will move onto the finals on Sept 2. Auditions for the 2012 event took place at Merivale Mall back on July 21 and 22 as well as Aug 11 and 12 and were open to all local singers aged 13 to 21. And just like the American show on TV, each singer will perform in front of a live audience and panel of three judges comprised of vocal coaches, media personnel and fellow

young bride, Sybil, simply won’t stop asking irritating questions about his first wife, Amanda. But it gets worse. It turns out that Amanda has also remarried and she and her new husband, Victor Prynne, have just arrived at the same seaside hotel for their honeymoon. In the next room no less, with an adjoining balcony. Elyot and Amanda are mortified to discover each other on their balconies and are desperate to leave, concocting preposterous excuses, but their new spouses stubbornly refuse to interrupt their honeymoons. This awkward and embarrassing encounter sets the tone for the romantic comedy, Private Lives, which opens Kanata Theatre’s 2012-13 season on Sept. 18. Written by Noel Coward, this fast-paced comedy is driven by the war between men and women, waged through love, marriage and divorce. The dialogue crackles with Coward’s trademark flamboyant wit, barbed repartee and flippant disregard for social conventions, particularly marriage.

SUBMITTED

The cast rehearse for Noel Coward’s Private Lives, the first play of Kanata Theatre’s 2012-13 season, which will open on Sept. 18. From left, Don Mounteer, Bev Brooks and Joy Forbes. Private Lives has long been a favourite of theatre goers everywhere. Originally staged in 1930, with Coward in the role of Elyot, it has been presented in London and on Broadway many times over the years. A 1983 version starred Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. At other times Tallulah Bankhead and Maggie Smith have each played Amanda. Most recently, in 2011, Paul Gross and Kim Cattrall

starred in a revival of the play in Toronto and New York. As well, in 1931, it was made into a movie with Norma Shearer and, in 1976, a TV version with Penelope Keith as an unforgettable Amanda. The Kanata Theatre presentation, directed by Susan Monaghan, will feature Bev Brooks as Amanda, Ian Stauffer as Elyot, Don Mounteer as Victor, Shelley Harrison as Sybil and Joy Forbes as Louise, the French maid.

Recriminations, regrets and romance are on the menu and are sure to provide an evening of delectable entertainment. Private Lives runs Tuesdays through Saturdays at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, on 1 Ron Maslin Way, Sept. 18 to 22 and Sept. 25 to 29.

Protecting our Community It was my privilege to tour Kanata south with the community Police Officer. The ride along was an educational experience. Kanata South is safe and secure thanks to the fantastic women and men of the Ottawa Police Service. Around the Ward Thank you to everyone who joined me and the Glen Cairn Community Association for our Community Barbeque Meet and Greet to celebrate summer. I enjoyed talking with many residents about the issues that are important to the community. I would also like to thank the many volunteers who helped bring this event together and a big thanks to Laura of Laura’s Independent Grocer for her generous support of the BBQ. I was honoured to attend the graduation ceremony for the Advanced Leadership Program. The Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) is a new program to the City of Ottawa, Parks Recreation and Cultural Services Department that is running at five different locations citywide this summer. ALP is designed to help Ottawa youth get job ready. Congratulations to the Kanata South graduates for their great accomplishment. I had the pleasure of attending block parties on Carronbridge circle and Young’s Pond Court last weekend. I believe that community involvement is a strong part of creating a fun, safe place to call home. Thank you to Philip Aldis and Maureen Rogerson for their effort in bringing thier communities together. I also enjoyed attending the well deserved Volunteer Appreciation night at the Kanata Sports Club. For over 25 years now, the Club has donated over $1,500,000 to various causes through the efforts of its dedicated volunteers.

Attention! BACK-to-SCHOOL Fall Registration

Back-to-school party ideas books, ABCs, or science, and it can run through the decorations used, the games played, the food served, and many other aspects of the event. Consider a science experiment inspired volcano cake that is oozing strawberry jam. * Include some educational games. Some students experience educational backsliding during summer vacation. That is why many schools

have summer reading lists that educators feel promote lesson reinforcement for the coming school year. With this in mind, plan activities around concepts children learned in school. Think about math problem relay races, art projects, reading a story and reenacting it in a play form, or science experiments using solar energy. * Host a campout reading marathon. Encourage guests to

“We put children and music together.”

bring sleeping bags and favorite books to a campout under the stars. Most of the time can be spent reading while breaks can be devoted to exercising, making campout snacks or telling campfire stories. * Rent out a fun bus or truck. Since many students will be spending a good deal of time on a school bus once the new school year commences, tie into those jaunts to school by renting the services of a game bus or truck. Some vendors will park their vehicles in front of the house for an hour or more, allowing children to climb inside and enjoy themselves on play equipment or compete in video game competitions inside specialized gaming trucks.

An end-of-summer party could be just what kids will enjoy prior to the start of school. * Plan a group event at the beach. Spending time seaside can be educational and enjoy-

Pack picnic-type snacks or ask attendees to bring items themselves. * Plan a trip to the school. First-time students may be anxious about what to expect during their first days of school. Having friends who are slightly older accompany younger kids to school to give a tour and show them the ropes make the experience less frightening. Afterward, meet at a pizzeria to enjoy some slices and soda. * Host a classic pool party. Of course, some kids want to commemorate the end of summer vacation by enjoying the pool one last time.

behalf of a child. Many states offer a 529 plan and each state’s plan is different. Morningstar, a leading provider of investment research, provides analysis on the majority of the nation’s 529 plans and rates them based on a variety of key factors. Additional sources for information on 529 plans are SavingForCollege.com as well as CollegeSavings.org. An example of a top-rated Morningstar 529 plan is

(MS) -- Setting goals is often the first step to achieving your hopes and dreams for yourself and your family. Making a plan, however, is crucial to making those dreams a reality. This is especially true when it comes to a college education for your children. Starting a college savings plan when your children are young sets you on a path for success and can help you reduce the need for expensive student loans down the road. Establishing a college savings plan early and contributing to it often is the key to reducing, or even eliminating, student loan debt. According to the Project on Student Loan Debt, the average student-loan debt increased 24 percent to $23,200 in 2008, up from $18,650 in 2004. According to FinAid.org, parents who put aside just $50 per month from the time their child is born can grow a nest egg of more than $20,000 by the time that child turns 18, assuming a 7 percent return on investment. Increasing those contributions to $100 per month can yield more than $43,000. While there are a number of college savings vehicles to choose from, savers should keep in mind that a

Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, August 30, 2012 45

Attention! BACK-to-SCHOOL Fall Registration Adults returning to school to advance careers \What do you do if the economy has stalled your career prospects or left you looking for a new job? Many adults are choosing to go back to school. Thousands of laid-off workers or those who are stuck in careers that

may not have been their first choice find that the path to new opportunities runs through a classroom. Spurred by the $787 billion economic stimulus bill that President Obama signed back in February 2009, which included almost $2 billion for adult

employment services like training, many adults have traded in their time cards for textbooks. Or they’re spending evenings and weekends taking courses after-hours. Community colleges and some vocational schools are finding the

the learning institution may not be as important the second time around. Many adults look for schools with online courses so they can continue to work. These will be factors in deciding where to go. * Apply for financial aid. Adults returning to school are just as entitled to apply for financial aid as new students right out of high school. Federal funding and grants, as well as private scholarships, may be available to help pay for your education -- especially if you’re experiencing financial hardship at the time. * Start out slowly. Do not take too many classes at once if you already have a busy schedule. You want to ensure you’ll have time to study and do your homework. Once you can gauge how much time the average class requires of you, you can increase the number of courses accordingly. * Be patient. Although many adults are returning to school, it may be expected that you will be outnumbered in the classroom by younger students. Some adults feel awkward in these situations, while others embrace the opportunity for new experiences and chances to impart their own knowledge on younger classmates. It may take time to find your groove once more.

There are several reasons adults are returning to school. The process has become easier now that the economy has made furthering your education almost a necessity.

recession has been good for enrollment. To attract adult students, they’re offering programs that are tailored to individuals seeking new skill sets. Some school marketing teams have sent recruiters into factories and other industrial places to speak to workers at the source. Other schools are expanding or just developing online degree options, which enable adults to take classes on their own time. Online schooling is an attractive alternative because of flexible schedules and no commute times. According to Back to College, an online resource for those interested in going back to school, recent statistics indicate more than 90 percent of traditional institutions provide or plan to provide some kind of program through distance learning. Thousands of

students now log on to distancelearning portals instead of sitting in a traditional classroom. Those interested in going back to school will have some choices to consider and steps to take. * Decide on what you want to study. Some adults are going back to school to further develop their skills in a particular career field. Others are returning to learn entirely new things in preparation for a new job. Have your major clearly defined so you can immediately get started with schooling. * Choose the college or university. There are schools all over the country and the world. Community colleges are less expensive than private schools, and some offer comparable educations. When going back to school, the prestige of

After-care options for dual-income families In a perfect world, school and work hours would run concurrently. But the average school day begins at 9:00 a.m. and continues until 3:00 p.m., while the average work day lasts from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. As a result, parents must arrange for child care during those hours when school is out, but Mom and Dad are still at work. The two-income family is more common than ever before. Up until the 20th century, a dual-income family was rare. Today, however, roughly 80 percent of families in North America have both parents working, and many find it is impossible to live on one income. Dual-income families often have to make difficult choices about child care. If a mother returned to work shortly after giving birth, day care was probably arranged early on. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010, 48 percent of children ages 0 to 4 with employed mothers were primarily cared for by a relative. Twenty-four percent spent the majority of their time in a centerbased arrangement. As children grow and attend elementary school, traditional day care is usually not an option and parents have to make other arrangements.

Family and friends Parents who prefer a different situation than school-based care frequently turn to friends or family members to bridge the gap between school and work. Students who carpool may be dropped off early at the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and stay there after school until their parents get home. In addition, many families have welcomed older relatives back into their homes in light of the struggling economy. In such instances, grandparents or aunts and uncles can look after the kids once school has ended for the day. After-school programs Some children are enrolled in

care centers that watch children before school, bus them to school and then return in the afternoon to pick up the children again. This is one of the more costly options in child care. However, it may be more educationally structured than the care programs provided at school. Students who participate in sports or academic clubs may have an arrangement to stay with a teacher, coach or club administrator until their parents are home from work. These programs vary depending on the region of the country and the particular school district. Personal finances also play a role in the type of care families can afford. When the decision is made, there are some questions parents should ask before enrollment. * What is the ratio of caregivers to students? * What is the cost of the program? * How are delayed opening days and early dismissal days handled? Holidays and breaks? * What happens if I arrive late? * What activities will take place? * Is there ample time for homework? * Are caregivers teachers or volunteers? * Are background checks conducted? * Is financial assistance avail-

able? * What is the turn-over rate of staff? * Is there a nurse available? * Who oversees the program? * Is busing available?

* How are emergencies handled? * How is poor behavior handled? * May I visit the program for a check-in?

* With whom do I These are just some of the questions to ask, and parents are encouraged to come up with their own to find the best program for their children.

If you are looking for affordable, flexible meeting options or sporting venues, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has plenty of choices. Available after 6 p.m. weeknights and on Saturdays throughout the school year, our schools offer classrooms, auditoriums, gymnasiums, meeting rooms, and cafeterias. Rates are reasonable and parking is free. e. For further information visit, www.ocdsb.ca orr contact the Community Use of Schools Office at 613-596-8260 or by e-mail at communityuse@ocdsb.ca. R0011576752

School-based care Many schools offer programs both before and after school, many of which are reasonably

priced. This helps dual-income families, but may not be practical during early-release days, during teacher planning days or holiday breaks. Programs that help parents before school typically allow working parents to drop off their children before the parents head to work. The students are kept in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gym or cafeteria until the regular school day begins. The same scenario applies to after school programs. At dismissal, after-care students will return to the designated location to work on homework or engage in some activities with other after-care participants until their parents arrive to take them home.

For older children, more challenging games may be required to build their problem solving abilities and their confidence in taking on greater challenges. One new game that has caught the attention of educators and parents alike is the new Perplexus 3D game maze by Plasmart Inc. This is a 3-dimensional

The best time of year to find bargains The savvy shopper knows there is no reason to pay full price if you don’t have to. Timing is everything when bargain hunting, and with a little patience, most people can find deep discounts on items that might have broken the bank just a few weeks prior. Shopping with coupons often requires clipping the coupon and then trying to match it up with a discounted price being offered by the store to maximize your savings. All of this has to be done prior to the coupon’s expiration date. Many veteran bargain hunters prefer to shop seasonally, instead. This means waiting until stores put items on clearance or run large sales. Knowing the best times to buy certain products can save consumers hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the course of a year. The following is a list of items and the seasons during which those types of items are most likely to be sold at a discount.

Carpet and Flooring Prior to the holiday season, many homeowners are busy making home improvements so their home is welcoming and pristine for visiting guests. After the holidays end, however, such DIY projects often get placed on the back burner. To boost activity, home improvement stores usually cut prices on carpet and flooring during the month of January. Furniture Although furniture is usually updated in stores biannually, many furniture retailers also run sales close to major holidays. Independence Day and the rest of July is a popular time for sales. Boats Although there are those who argue that the best deals are had at area boat shows, others recommend visiting dealerships between January and March to get last year’s models as boat retailers are making room for new inventory. Garden Tools Although many homeowners still may be cleaning up

from winter storms and shoveling snow, those who want to get ready for spring can go shopping for garden tools in March. Electronics Economists urge American and Canadian consumers to purchase major electronics in the spring, notably April. This is when the Japanese fiscal year ends, and many Japanese companies coincide the release of new models at this time of year. Therefore, older models might be slashed in price. Those interested in a computer may want to wait until August, when stores cut prices to coincide with backto-school season. Shoppers interested in televisions should do their shopping in January, when products are discounted prior to the Super Bowl. Automobiles Consumers interested in purchasing previously owned cars can shop in April. For those who are waiting to purchase a new vehicle, October is the best time to buy because this is when dealerships receive new inventory and are looking to clear out last year’s models. Summer Seasonal Products Lawnmowers, air condition-

ers, patio furniture and pool equipment typically go on sale around September and October. Stores are switching over to their fall merchandise and are looking to clear out any remnants of summertime, even if the weather is still quite warm. Some stores do this as early as August, when they are already getting ready to make room for Halloween and Christmas displays. Swimsuits Swimsuits go on sale in August to make room for fall accessories. Although some people will argue there is never a good time to go bathing suit shopping, if a good price is a requirement, then August is the time to do so.

c i m h t y h R a t a Kan b u l C s c i t s a n Gym

Weddings It is well-known that the summer months are peak times for weddings -- and expensive prices. Budget-conscious couples can consider a November wedding, where costs may be much less and vendors not in much demand. Try to have the wedding prior to the holiday season, when catering halls start booking rooms for Christmas parties. Knowing when to buy items during the year can add up to considerable savings.

Appliances The new models for most appliances arrive in the autumn. Therefore, most retailers are looking to clear out older inventory over the winter. Between October and January, expect to find deep discounts on major appliances. If

shoppers can wait to replace an older unit, they will be rewarded with very good prices.

Aries, balance and harmony will reign supreme this week. If there is something you have been meaning to change, now is the time to get it done. Intentions can be lost when communication is not effective, Taurus. So don’t expect someone to understand simply by your actions alone. Explain yourself along the way. Gemini, sometimes you give off the impression that everything is going well, even when it is not. Hiding your emotions works sometimes, but this week find another strategy. Cancer, most of the time you seem slow and steady. But every once in a while you show some passion that others may not expect from you. These sudden bursts are human. Leo, you can’t change the path the stars have set in your place even if you want to. It’s best to simply accept the cards and make the most of them.

Capricorn, a new person in your life will become a close friend for a long time. This person will have the qualities you need the most right now, and friendship will be easy. You’re feeling like it’s time to take matters into your own hands, Aquarius. Don’t put off your happiness any longer. It’s too important to push aside. This is the perfect time to address the questions that have been on your mind, Pisces. If you’ve been fretting over something, work it out.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
