EMC news - The Morley Hoppner Group is accusing the city of dragging its feet on a proposal to build a mid-rise condo in Beaverbrook.

The developer has filed an appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board claiming the city took too long to handle a zoning application to allow construction of a 10-storey condominium at 2 The Parkway.

“I’ve been warned that they’ve been talking about it, so I was not surprised, but I was disappointed,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

“If they didn’t like the final decision they could appeal it.

But to do it this way is, I think, a little bit underhanded.”

Under the Planning Act, municipalities have 180 days to

make a decision on official plan and subdivision plan amendments and 120 days for zoning amendments.

A staff report on the developer’s zoning application had been scheduled to go before the city’s planning committee last July.

But the report was pulled – at the request of the developer – after the Morley Hoppner Group learned staff recommended council turn down the zoning request, said Wilkinson.

The developer wanted some time to work out a compromise with the community and the city, she said.

But Ken Hoppner, vicepresident of Morley-Hoppner Group, said his group spent 14 months meeting with city staff and the community trying to work out a compromise.

EMC news - The Kanata Legion and charities it supports will take a hit from the hockey lockout this year.

With National Hockey League players off the ice, the legion expects to be down about $8,000 from a drop in

poppy donations this year.

Normally, legion members can distribute poppies during at least three Ottawa Senators games at Scotiabank Place, but without hockey this year, poppy sales will be way down, says campaign chairwoman Moira Green.

The mood at the legion was somber when members realized there was no chance hockey would start up this fall, Green said.

City to present position report for OMB hearing on Nov. 27 Continued from page 1

“We’ve spent over a year on the project now and we just feel that avenue allows us to bring some closure to what we’re trying to achieve, which is to rezone the property.”

City staff will present a report at a planning committee meeting on Nov. 27 on what position they recommend the city take at the upcoming OMB hearing.

Gary Sealey, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, said the community has gone out of its way to respond to the developer’s proposals in a timely fashion, with hundreds of residents attending several meetings since December 2011.

“I’m surprised the developer is said to be going to the OMB and complaining about delays,” he said. “The KBCA has always provided its advice and its input in a timely way.

“We worked right through the Christmas holidays to serve a deadline set by the city.”

The community association has hired a professional urban planner and a lawyer to provide advice concerning the proposed mid-rise.

“We engaged timely, highquality professionals,” he

said. “The KBCA donors submitted tens of thousands of dollars to that end so we could promote discussion of the proposed development at 2 The Parkway.”

Sealey said he is meeting with other members of the community association to discuss how it will respond to the developer’s appeal.

DELAY

The Morley Hoppner Group’s first submitted plan asked for the city to rezone the property at 2 The Parkway to allow for a 16-storey residential building with 125 units.

The second revision by the developer included a 10-storey mid-rise residential building with 120 units, with an amenity area above the ninth storey.

A release of a report by city planning staff has been delayed a number of times.

The city’s recommendation was to be originally released on June 29, but was pushed back to Aug. 13 and then late October or early November.

According to a staff report from June 12 obtained by the Kourier-Standard that was never publicly released, staff recommended the city deny the developer’s proposal.

The report stated, “The

“Also, a further look into the proposed units shows that 95 of the 120 units proposed are already two-bedroom units ranging from (82 to 177 square metres) which, in the absence of a unit density cap, could allow further reconfiguration of the building layout and increase the density even

farther beyond that currently proposed. With the subject site already exceeding the unit density targeted for the designated Mixed Use Centre and Town Centre for all of Kanata, the proposal is not acceptable.”

John Moser, the city’s manager of planning and growth, told the MorleyHoppner Group the city’s staff’s recommendation, and the developer asked to have the report pulled from the planning committee’s agenda for it’s July meeting, said Wilkinson.

the reasons,” she said.

The Morley Hoppner Group presented a revised plan during a public meeting at the Kanata Recreation Complex held on Sept. 18 calling for changes to the building’s height, setback and landscape.

The revised plan called for a nine-storey mid-rise building , down from 10 storeys in the first revision and 16 storeys in the original plan.

The developer has pulled its third revised proposal from the table and is now seeking to build a 10-storey mid-rise.

Wilkinson said the community is seeking a building no higher than five storeys, while city staff are willing to go as high as seven.

“I supported the commu-

nity at five,” said Wilkinson.

Hoppner said his group presented several options to the city and community but there was never any “buy in.”

“After 14 months of time and money spent on our behalf, we’re nowhere.”

He said he was surprised when he read that a staff report had been obtained by the Kourier-Standard.

“That’s something we’ve not seen before and that kind of surprised us,” he said.

Hoppner said his group met with senior city staff in August and that both sides agreed they weren’t happy with the process.

He said both sides “agreed to work something out, but that didn’t happen.”

Poppy distribution at Sens games bring in 10 per cent of funds Continued from page 1

“We were just devastated,” Green said.

Poppy distribution at Sens games nets about 10 per cent of the total donations the Kanata Legion receives

for its poppy campaign each year.

In 2011, the Kanata Legion raised a total of $85,930

through poppy distribution.

“The fans are always very, very generous…They’re in a good mood,” especially when the home team is winning, Green said.

It wasn’t uncommon for elated fans to drop $20 bills into the collection box, Green said.

Although there will be two OHL hockey games played at Scotiabank Place during the poppy campaign, she said the legion doesn’t expect donations at Ottawa 67’s games to make up for the contributions Sens fans usually give.

“If you’re going to a 67’s game, we would really appreciate it,” Green said.

“When you’re out shopping, consider giving more.”

Poppies will be available during Ottawa 67’s games at Scotiabank Place on Friday, Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. vs. the Saginaw Spirit; and on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. vs. the Belleville Bulls.

Poppy donation boxes can be found at stores and offices throughout Kanata and Ottawa, but the main poppy distribution locations in Kanata are: Loblaws (200 Early Grey Dr. at Kanata Centrum), Walmart (500 Earl Grey Dr. at Kanata Centrum), Costco (770 Silver Seven Rd.), Home Depot (10 Frank Nighbor Pl.) and Hazeldean Mall (3007-701 Eagleson Rd.)

Much of the money raised goes to help veterans. Last year, $10,425 was used by Kanata Legion branch staff to assist veterans.

An additional $6,000 provided temporary housing for homeless veterans and $5,600 paid for “comforts” for veterans in long-term care facilities.

A dinner for 88 veterans who live in long-term care facilities was paid for using $1,770 of the money raised in 2011.

Veterans from former British Caribbean countries also receive support through the Royal Canadian Legion, so $1,000 from last year’s poppy campaign went to help them.

Some of the money also

goes back to the community.

Poppy campaign funds paid for a $2,655 debrillator for the intensive-care unit at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital. More than $12,000 in bursaries and scholarships was handed out to students studying at local post-secondary institutions.

Local cadet organizations received $2,360 and Ottawa drop-in centres, Meals on Wheels and a foot-care clinic for seniors received $13,800 in support.

This year marks the 23rd year the Kanata Legion has run the poppy campaign.

Almost all of the branch’s 290 members volunteer to help raise money during the Remembrance Day poppy season.

Would like to welcome Dr. Michelle Utting Deborah Gao Dr. Lesley Smordin toDr. our clinic.

Food cupboard’s corporate donations decline by 80% jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Food Cupboard is facing a steady decline of corporate donations.

Donations from businesses are down by more than 80 per cent when compared to this time last year, said chair Marc Dumais. The board met last month to pore over the numbers; expenditures and community donations are in line with what was budgeted, but corporate donations are almost non-existent.

“The impact on us is quite significant,” he said, adding this is the first time the food cupboard has experienced such a drop in funds.

The food cupboard receives about 17 per cent of its funding from the city while 83 per cent comes from donations.

“The Kanata community is always generous,” said Dumais. “The only reason we can run this is the generous donations.”

The Kanata Food Cupboard helps an average of 200 families a month. Karen Waters, client co-ordinator, said the highest number she’s seen is 225 families in need of assisstance.

Food Banks Canada released its 2012 HungerCount report and food cupboard usage is up across the nation.

According to the report, “The need for Canada’s charitable food assistance pro-

grams grew in 2012, and they are now assisting more people than ever.

In March of this year, 882,188 people received food from a food bank in Canada.

This is an increase of 2.4 per cent over 2011, and is 31 per cent higher than in 2008, before the recession began.”

In Ontario, 413,000 people used food cupboards in March 2012, up from 400,400 in the same month a year earlier.

Since 2008, the number of people across the province using a food bank has risen by 98,700 people, or 31 per cent – the same as the national average.

Alberta has seen the highest jump in usage, up 59 per cent since March 2008, with Manitoba coming in slightly behind at 57 per cent. Newfoundland and Labrador is the only province to see a decline in food bank usage with a drop of 0.8 per cent since 2008.

“It’s a trend across the country,” said Dumais.

With the Christmas season approaching, Dumais said the food cupboard is planning on ramping up its fundraising.

“We’re behind right now,” he said. “We’re going to have to be more proactive in fundraising.”

The food cupboard runs its Adopt a Family program over

Louise Quinn has been volunteering at the Kanata Food Cupboard since 2006 with her husband Tom (not pictured). “It’s a worthwhile cause,” she says. the holidays, providing a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and gifts for children and adults.

Waters said she’s hoping individuals, families, groups and workplaces will come together to sponsor needy families for the holidays.

“Last year we helped out 300 families in Kanata,” she said, adding the numbers will likely be similar this year.

“The demand there is going up every year,” said Dumais.

“Ideally, we’d like everyone to be adopted.”

About half the families last year were adopted, with the food cupboard sponsoring the other 150 families.

It costs around $300 to sponsor a family of four, said Waters. Some people split up the costs – an example: one group sponsors the meal while another donates the gifts.

“I’m more than willing to work with anybody’s budget,” said Waters. “One way or an-

other we can do it.”

The holiday season officially kicks off at the Kanata Food Cupboard on Dec. 8, with hampers being delivered on Dec. 14 and 15.

To adopt a family for the holidays, email Waters at coord@kanatafoodcupboard. ca. For more information, visit kanatafoodcupboard. ca, connect on Twitter with @KanataFoodCpbrd or like them on Facebook by searching Kanata Food Cupboard.

Lafreniere and Laforest were promoting their hockey team, which is for people with special needs aged six and up. Lefreniere, 18, said his favourite part is scoring a goal, but he loves being part of a team. “We have so much fun. We go around the ice and practise passing the puck,” he said.

City’s economic growth strategy on wrong track

T

he mayor’s latest bid to boost the local economy falls short in scope and runs the risk of at least being perceived as favouring certain businesses over others.

During an event hosted last week by Mayor Jim Watson, a program called the Capital Investment Track was announced. Watson said the program would see the city provide assistance to business initiatives based on the potential to create at least

100 “quality – well-paying – private sector jobs.�

Economic development staff would help shepherd these projects through the city’s regulatory and administrative regime, making them the system’s top priority.

This program, while not an inherently bad idea – it’s aimed at attracting investment and creating jobs – puts the city in the position where it is picking and choosing what sorts of investment comes to Ottawa. On top

of the 100-job threshold, applicants from the life sciences, photonics, wireless, clean technology, aerospace, defence, film and television production, digital media and tourism sectors would also be considered for the Capital Investment Track.

While this might appear to apply to a significant number of opportunities, in fact these employers represent a small fraction of the overall economy. Businesses with 100 or more people on the payroll

represent only 2.5 per cent of all employers in Ontario. In addition, with the exception of the tourism industry, the list of favoured sectors represents only a small slice of the total number of employers in the province and the types of jobs created would favour those with specialized experience and education.

This means the city is offering to cut red tape for a group of businesses, including larger, better-financed firms, that are less likely to

need help navigating city hall than a business that employs four people, for example.

Such small businesses represent more than 55 per cent of all employers in the province, and are often financed through the personal savings of the business owner.

If the city truly wanted to attract investment, it would focus its efforts on cutting red tape for all types of businesses. This would maximize the potential number of jobs that could be created in

the city and would ensure opportunities are generated for residents from all walks of life, not just the highly educated.

The spirit of the Capital Investment Track program is in the right place: helping to grow and diversify the city’s economy, which will in turn provide jobs as the federal government scales back its civil servant workforce.

But the program isn’t playing fair when it comes to making Ottawa a more attractive destination for investment. Everyone should have an equal opportunity to set up or expand their shop in this city.

COLUMN

The calm before our storm CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

H

ere in the capital, we’re shaking our heads over how lightly we were touched by hurricane Sandy and its lengthy aftermath. What did we get?

A little rain, a bit of wind. And how much do you want to bet that we’re all thinking: “That’s nice, but we’re going to pay for it when winter comes.�

That’s the fatalistic Canadian way of looking at it. If the weather spares us one day, it’s going to whack us the next. And just to add an extra dimension, an extra level of unease, remember how easy last winter was?

We’re going to get it, for sure.

When I was a youngish writer at the Citizen, we used to scoff at a succession of editors and publishers who insisted that the paper feature a weather story prominently almost every day. “How could the weather be news?� we wondered. Weather was just, well, weather.

Turns out we were wrong. Even in those days readers were interested in weather and today there is much more weather to be interested in and it is more than a question of whether Friday will be a good day to play golf.

Weather touches us in a way that we don’t always like.

We used to think that severe weather was fun. Nothing like a good storm to watch through the window or maybe even run around outside in for a while. After the ice storm of 1998 and the big winds of 2011, not to mention a couple of rather small but rather scary earthquakes, we know that much of the fun has gone out of such events.

Given this, it’s no surprise that people are

paying more attention to the weather than they used to. They are encouraged in this by the news media, particularly all-news television, which have made the weather a large percentage of the news conversation even when there is no storm happening.

Even a storm that hasn’t happened yet is news. The storm might be coming, destruction is threatened. There is a weather watch, a weather warning, a red swirl on a map and it could, maybe, affect you.

The news media have learned that the story about the impending storm can have great value, even if the storm itself never materializes. There’s lots of excitement in talking about the damage and devastation that might occur, great visuals in putting reporters in storm gear in front of the cameras in places where the storm hasn’t arrived yet and if the storm never arrives, well, it was exciting, wasn’t it?

The problem with this kind of coverage is that people get used to it, come to believe that any storm warnings are exaggerated. The media cry wolf. Who knows, it may be that some of the people who were victims of Sandy were outside because they didn’t believe the storm could be as bad as the media said it would be.

In the United States, the discussion about the storm quickly shifted to a discussion about the electoral politics of the storm, but not about climate change, which nobody wanted to talk about in an election year. Maybe now that the two storms, the real one and the political one, have died down, the discussion about climate change can begin again.

It’s overdue. Many experts are saying that we are going to be seeing a lot more of this kind of weather. Many experts also say that our society can do something to reduce that likelihood by changing some aspects of our behaviour. How to bring that about will not be easy and will not be without sacrifice, but it is the kind of question that needs to be debated fully. Maybe that debate can start.

In the meantime, we in the capital will go on being thankful for the weather we didn’t have and waiting confidently for things to get worse.

Ways to resist the impulse buy BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse one,” he said. “It’s got a zipper and I don’t have very good luck with zippers.”

In hindsight, that was the turning point. In a very refined fashion, he’d given me a problem to solve and I totally took on the challenge. As a result, I assumed the task of hanger flipping, looking for a nice, warm vest, with buttons.

We found one for him – very good quality, waterproof, with goose down filling – and into the cart it went. It was only $6, but it was $6 I hadn’t intended to spend.

My son is like that little voice inside my head. Even if you don’t have kids, I’m sure you’ve experienced it. It’s the voice that gets a little bored waiting in line at the checkout and whispers, “you need batteries.”

It’s the voice that ever so quietly says, “buying a $6magazine that tells you how to save money will help you to save money ... on your next trip.”

“One of the biggest causes of overspending in the 35-55 age group is impulse purchases,” says Judi Cane, a planner with Money Coaches Canada. “People have $800-per-month grocery bills, but they don’t realize that half of that is spent on non-grocery items that they just don’t need.”

Cane says retailers like Walmart, Costco and Loblaw have effectively

tapped into our internal human weakness to buy things we don’t need.

“At Costco, you have to walk past aisles and aisles of non-grocery items – everything from printer toner to eyeglasses and books – before you get to the food,” says Cane. “And even if Walmart has a separate door for the grocery department, they put things in the aisles that will tempt you. It’s hard to get out of there with just groceries.”

Of course, it’s not just the grocery store that gets us. Canadian Tire has enormous bins of small items at the checkout quietly calling out to you.

“It’s pretty easy to go into the store for a $10 bag of road salt and come out with bags full of stuff like flashlights, chewing gum, even books,” says Cane.

On the last Friday of each month, Cane and her Ottawa colleagues of

Money Coaches Canada are offering free seminars on financial management.

A “money town hall,” as Cane describes it, it’s an opportunity for people to raise any financial questions they may have in a relaxed and open forum. October’s Money Monday was held at Caffe Latte Cino in Orleans on Oct. 29.

Eight weeks before Christmas, overspending was a hot topic. Cane’s best advice?

“Before you go shopping, make sure you know exactly what you’re going to buy and only pay cash,” says Cane.

She admits this is much easier said than done and that most of her clients don’t even realize how much they’re overspending until she forces them to take a good look at their grocery bills.

But committing to your list can make hundreds of dollars a month difference.

Oh, and never take my six-year-old shopping with you.

EMC news - Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health have identified a potential new approach to preventing smoking relapse, which occurs frequently in smokers who attempt to quit, despite current treatments.

“We have developed a protein peptide that may be a new type of highly targeted treatment to prevent smoking relapse,” says Dr. Fang Liu, senior scientist in CAMH’s Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute and professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Toronto.

Liu and her team initially found that nicotine exposure can enhance binding between two types of brain receptors and were able to generate a protein peptide to disrupt the binding of the two receptors.

Working with CAMH senior scientist Dr. Anh Dzung Le, the peptide was then

tested in an animal model of relapse.

As anticipated, it had the effect of reducing attempts to seek nicotine.

“These discoveries present an avenue to develop an anti-smoking medication that directly targets the relapse process by focusing on this brain target,” says Liu, whose study was published online in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. “We hope that it will lead to an alternative treatment for smokers who aren’t succeeding with current smoking cessation medications.”

A year after treatment with current medications, only about 20 per cent of people remain abstinent, past research shows. The CAMH is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world’s leading research centres in its field.

Well, never go shopping with my six-year-old. He can be extremely persuasive.

He’s not the type to whine or beg. He’s so subtle that I usually don’t realize he’s been working on me until after I’ve already purchased the not-on-the-list item.

Just the other day we were at Value Village looking for a couple of very specific formal wear items for the children to wear as a one-off to an upcoming family wedding.

As I was perusing the baby outfits – not on the list, but evidently a good deal (failure one for the impulse buyer) – my son said, “Mom, when you’re done, I’d like to have a look over there,” and he pointed to boys’ outerwear.

He waited patiently while I flipped through hanger after hanger of baby sleepers before we made our way over to boys’ wear.

Following my precise method, he started flipping hangers, rapidly sifting through the “junk” until he came across what he wanted: “You see this vest, Mom. I think it would help to keep my chest warm this winter.”

Interesting. I kind of knew at this point that he was after something.

“We’re not getting that today,” I said.

“Oh, I know,” he said, and he continued flipping the hangers.

“Here’s a good one,” he said, and he removed the vest from the rack. He put it on and began to play with the zipper.

Food cupboard needs help To the editor, The Kanata Food Cupboard is an important charitable organization that assists less fortunate members of our Kanata community struggling to provide enough food for their families. We are currently experiencing a very difficult period because we are seeing a significant drop in donated funds.

Our revenues are now well below last year and should this continue, the Kanata Food Cupboard could face a shortfall exceeding $50,000 by year end. At the same time, the demand for our services is growing steadily and we now provide hampers to 200 or more families every month.

As we all know, food prices are also increasing, putting

added pressure on the Kanata Food Cupboard budget.

Your financial support would greatly assist in ensuring we can continue to meet the need in our community. To make a donation, please visit our web site for our contact information or call 613-355-9834. We thank you in advance for your generous and continued support, helping provide food to Kanata residents in need.

War Amps offers military documentary To the editor: I am a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, which consists of young

members and graduates of the Child Amputee Program (CHAMP) who are dedicated to preserving and commemorating Canada’s military heritage by teaching younger generations about our nation’s wartime history.

I have had the privilege to learn about Canada’s military heritage and also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans.

CHAMP was started by war amputee veterans and I want to give back to those who have given me so much.

The War Amps has produced a number of internationally award-winning documentaries about Canada’s military heritage.

D-Day: The Story of the Canadian Assault Troops tells the story of how the Canadian troops got farther inland than any other force.

The story is told by a sol-

dier who fought with the troops in Normandy and gives a Canadian perspective on this important day in Canadian history.

I encourage all of you to learn more about Canada’s history by means of The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which can be ordered at waramps.ca.

One for the recipe box To the editor: Re: “I leave you with a fond farewell,” Oct. 25, KKS. I recently retired, and have started organizing my many recipes. I was amazed at the number of Pat’s recipes that we have cut out over the years.

I wanted to tell Pat how much we enjoy her column and it is the first thing that we read every week. I am not a great cook, but I have never had a bad experience with any of Pat’s recipes.

While we have many recipes that we make, Pat’s butter tart recipe is a huge hit, because of her advice on how to make the filling.

I will be adding Jennie’s brownies to my recipe box.

We were shocked to read this week’s column. Please pass along our best wishes to Pat...there will be many of us thinking of her every day.

Embarrassed by son’s behaviour To the editor: Recently my 15-year-old son and I encountered a young couple on a street corner who appeared to be out for an early evening (still daylight) run.

A female runner was sitting awkwardly on the sidewalk holding her ankle/lower leg, obviously in pain.

Her male companion was standing over her trying to help.

As we approached the couple, I rolled down my window to ask if they needed help in the form of a cellphone or ride etc.

At the same time, before the young man could respond, my son started yelling at me,

“What are you doing? Why should we stop? You’re so weird, talking to complete strangers!”

I am embarrassed to say my son’s outburst provoked an angry, hurt and disappointed reaction in me. Instead of stopping to see if we could help the couple, we drove off towards home.

When I had cooled down I told my son that his reaction was not only hurtful and mean to me, but showed a complete lack of compassion towards others.

What if one of his family members or friends was hurt in a public setting and no one stopped to help?

This may sound harsh or naive on my part, but I have seen similar behaviour in some of the comments I see coming from him on Facebook and Twitter, even in his regular conversations with friends and family members. I can’t help but feel his words are a form of bullying, potentially harmful to sensitive teens at the receiving end.

My son did apologize to me and agreed that stopping to help would have been the “right thing to do.”

He also agreed that he would make an effort to stop the offensive comments on the social media.

I would like to apologize to the couple that needed help.

Hopefully, someone else willing to help came along soon after us.

Sports club puts Randy Lee on the Hot Seat jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Even with the National Hockey League lockout, the Kanata Sports Club has an interesting lineup of guest speakers for its weekly Hot Seat.

Randy Lee, Ottawa Senators director of player development and hockey administration, was the first guest on Friday, Nov. 2.

Lee, who was on hand during the club’s 25th anniversary celebration in June, said he used to spend “hours” at the sports club when he was involved with the junior Senators.

“They do so much in the community,” said Lee in a previous interview. “You want to give back. Anything we can do to help is an honour for us.”

It’s just a great club.

It’s all for the kids.

Lorne Weatherall President, Kanata Sports Club

The Hot Seat – hosted by Mark Papousek, Kanata resident and Y101 radio personality – is held every Friday afternoon during the fall and winter months and features sports figures and athletes who talk shop at the club.

“I wish there was some friggin hockey to talk about,” he laughed.

Even with the lockout, the sports club will have a great lineup of speakers, he said.

Guests of upcoming Hot Seats will include: • Shawn Simpson, of the Team 1200, on Nov. 9.

• Bruce Garrioch and Dean Brown, sports reporters, on Nov. 16.

• Ron Tugnutt, former Sens

player, on Nov. 23.

• Murray Wilson, Stanley Cup winner, on Nov. 30.

• Jeff Hunt, owner of the Ottawa 67’s, on Dec. 7.

EVENING HOT SEAT

Starting on Nov. 16, the sports club will host a oncea-month evening Hot Seat for members who can’t get away from the office during the weekly lunch-hour event.

“A lot of people are still working during the lunch hour,” said president Lorne Weatherall.

The first guests of the new TGIM (Thank God It’s Members) night will be Murray Wilson and Laurie Graham, a Canadian Ski Hall of Famer.

“It’ll be good for members who can’t make the (weekly) Hot Seat,” said Papousek.

The sports club is also looking to add to its membership base, which is currently 1,100 strong.

The club – which will be providing traffic control during the Kanata Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 17 – provides “friendship, fellowship and special occasions,” said Weatherall, who has been president for 11 years.

“It’s just a great club,” he said, adding at the end of every conversation with Papousek, the two always say “It’s all for the kids.”

So far this year the club has raised around $50,000, which is donated to various sports clubs in the Kanata area, charities and individuals.

The club’s annual general meeting will be held on Nov. 24 starting at 2 p.m. Financial statements and an overview of club operations over the past year will be presented, said Weatherall.

The Kanata Sports Club is located in the Jack Charron Arena, 10 McKitrick Dr., on the second floor.

Students Win Youth Futures Bursaries

Your Community Newspaper

Laura Mueller/Metroland

Councillor Steve Desroches; Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa President and CEO; and Mayor Jim Watson congratulate bursary recipients Faduma Hassan and Ahmad Hussein.

Hydro Ottawa presented bursaries of $500 each to two deserving youths at the 10th Anniversary Breakfast of the Ottawa Community Housing Corporation on October 26. The Youth Futures bursaries help youth living in low-income communities to attend post-secondary education and pay for books and tuition.

“As a dedicated community citizen with roots that stretch back more than 130 years, Hydro Ottawa strongly believes in investing in our city and the development of its people,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa, who attended the breakfast. “I am honoured to make this contribution to the futures of two young people with lots of promise.”

The Youth Futures bursaries sponsored by Hydro Ottawa were awarded to Faduma Hassan and Ahmad Hussein, two community volunteers who are first-generation post-secondary students.

“I’d like to thank Hydro Ottawa for this opportunity. I come from a low-income family and this helps me reach my goals,” said Ahmad Hussein, a Grade 12 student at the Ottawa Islamic School who plans to pursue nanoscience at Carleton University.

Despite rainy weather, about 100 supporters of grandmother-to-grandmother campaigns gathered on Parliament Hill on Nov. 1 to support international access to medication.

Grannies gather to support generic drug bill Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Grandmothers gathered on Parliament Hill last Thursday hoping to change how Canada sends generic drugs to sick people in the developing world.

The Grandmothers Advocacy Network (GRAN) organized the Nov. 8 rally, which included participants from 27 Ottawa region Grandmothers to Grandmothers fundraising groups as well as area religious groups, social advocates and politicians.

The group was asking the Canadian government to pass Bill C-398, which would reform Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime passed in 2004 to allow the sale of generic drugs to developing countries. That bill proved too full of red tape, and only one

shipment of life-saving drugs has ever left our shores since it passed.

Bill C-398 would clear the way to an easier administrative process so that more medicine, such as drugs for managing HIV/AIDS, can leave Canada and help curb the acute public health problems in Africa and other developing regions.

The reform bill has already passed the House of Commons once, but died in the Senate when the Conservative government prorogued Parliament in 2011.

Organizer Bonnie Johnson said in the short term they want the House to approve sending the bill to committee for review, which could take up to two years. If it doesn’t go to committee soon, the bill could die in 2015 when another election is called.

“In the meantime, two

thirds of the kids in Sub-Saharan Africa won’t have access to drugs,” Johnson said.

The original bill was passed in 2004 in response to the World Trade Organization’s ruling that generic versions of brand-name drugs can be manufactured without the patent holder’s permission for export to countries where they can’t manufacture the drugs themselves.

Johnson said there has been a lot of misinformation about the Access to Medicines Regime, regarding its cost to tax payers.

“It’s a no-tax bill,” she said.

“The country buys the drugs and they get the funding from the Global Fund (charitable organization). They can’t afford the (brand-name) prices.”

Johnson said it’s not clear where the Conservative government stands on the bill,

despite it passing with a majority before the last election.

The bill was tabled by NDP MP Hélène Laverdière.

The Grandmothers Advocacy Network and the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign - two separate groups who often work together – have grown from Canadian advocate Stephen Lewis’ realization that grandmothers are carrying the burden of Africa’s AIDS epidemic. Millions of people died of AIDS, leaving grandmothers to bury their adult children and then raise as many as 15 grandchildren by themselves.

Lewis brought some of these grandmothers to Canada to share their stories, and the Canadian grandmothers were moved to action.

“Once the connection was made ... doing nothing is not an option,” Johnson said.

Student steps up for UNICEF Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A Jack Donohue Public School student brought his community together to raise funds for UNICEF. After sitting through a school assembly last month, Charlie Doucet said he wanted to do something more for the non-profit. The Grade 3 student came home and told his parents he was going to raise some money.

“I thought, it’s very helpful to the people who don’t have much,” said Charlie, 8.

On a cold Tuesday evening, Charlie set up a canteen in the driveway of his home, selling cookies, popcorn and juice at 25-cents each to neighbourhood children.

He raised $25 dollars; so he and his family decided to go bigger.

“He was still gung-ho,” said his father Mark. “So we came up with something bigger.”

With nice weather scheduled for Oct. 26, the family began advertising for a fundraising barbecue. Charlie, his brother Henry, 4, and his classmate Jackson Thorne, 8, handed out flyers at school and put them in their neighbours’ mailboxes.

Between 80 and 100 people showed up during the

four-hour event.

“We met neighbours we’d never met before,” said Kelli, Charlie’s mother.

The family sold out of hot dogs, popcorn, cookies and chocolates, and juice.

“Sometimes there were so many orders at one time I couldn’t take all of them,” said Jackson.

Charlie raised more than $260 for the charity and helped contribute to his class’s goal of $500.

“She was impressed,” Charlie said of his teacher when he brought in the money he collected. “She announced to the class what we did.”

Both Charlie’s parents said they are proud of their son.

“He was really inspired at school,” said Mark.

“We’re so impressed,” said Kelli. “We could really tell there was something behind it.”

Charlie said he was happy with the outcome of his fundraiser and the family said it

is looking at turning the barbecue into an annual event since everyone they talked to seemed to enjoy themselves.

“It seems a lot want to be a part of it,” said Mark.

Several other students from Jack Donohue contributed to the success of the event, including siblings Charles-Etienne and Anne-Marie Cote; Forouhar, Florence and Farah

Parweez; Victoria, Vivian and Richard Ngouv; Jai and Jasneil Benipal; and Ameen Ilchamaa.

“There were a great many kids who helped out in this endeavour,” said Kelli.

“The children have shown a lot of initiative and that they are great examples of the spirit of giving within our community.”

Kanata Chamber serves up Food for Thought Eleventh-annual event to feature past favourites and new chefs Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for its 11th-annual Food for Thought event on Thursday, Nov. 15.

The food and wine show is also the largest fundraiser for the local food bank, said Rosemary Leu, general manager of the Chamber.

“This event is the single largest fundraising event for the Kanata Food Cupboard,” said Leu. “They absolutely need our help more than ever this year.”

Last year’s Food for Thought event raised more than $6,000.

“If we can beat that this year that would be fantastic,” said Leu. The Chamber raises the funds through the silent and live auctions – which this year will include a 12-person suite for a Blue Rodeo concert at Scotiabank Place, a chef’s table at Graffiti’s Italian Eatery for eight with wine, and much more, said Leu. “There’s something for everybody. It’s a great way to start Christmas shopping

(and) support a great cause,” said Leu. The Chamber’s Food for Thought is unlike any other event in Ottawa, said Leu. “We’re not the average food and wine show. It’s one ticket price and everything is included once you’re in the door.”

People can sample from each of the vendors for no additional charge.

“This is an event where you come hungry,” said Leu, adding people shouldn’t eat before arriving. “It’s a fabulous event and an incredibly good price ticket.”

Food for Thought – which will take place at the Holiday Inn & Suites, 101 Kanata Ave. – is not strictly a member event, said Leu, adding it’s open to everyone.

“We’re getting a lot of nonmember attention this year,” she said.

Ticket prices for the event are $50 for members and $60 for non-members. Only 300 tickets are being sold for the event.

“They are selling fast, three times faster than last year’s rate,” said Leu. Food for Thought showcases the work of west-end

chefs and will feature a number of new additions this year, including aperitivo and bistrofiftyfour, as well as past favourites the Cheshire Cat Pub, Napolis Café and Lapointe Seafood Grill.

“We’ve got some fantastic new restaurants participating, new ones to the community and new ones to our event,” said Leu, adding the Chamber is delighted to have all its regulars returning.

As well, a number of local and international wineries and breweries will be participating.

“It’s my favourite event of the year,” said Leu. “It’s a showcase for all of our fantastic west-end chefs.”

Graffiti’s and the Holiday Inn & Suites are co-hosts of the event with the Chamber. “(They) created the event with us 11 years ago,” said Leu. For more information and to view a video of last year’s event, visit kanatachamber. com.

“It really gives you a good look at the food. It’s amazing the good work our chefs do,” said Leu. “They do an absolutely fantastic job.”

Sugar bowl more than egg money

I

t was a blue sugar bowl.

Much larger than the one we used every day on the kitchen table.

Father said it had been in his family as long as he could remember. It wasn’t used for sugar anymore, though. It was where Mother kept her egg money. It had a matching jug too, but it just stood beside the sugar bowl and was never used. I figured the reason Mother used the sugar bowl for her egg money and not the jug was because it had a lid on it. To protect what was inside, sort of.

Goodness knows we kids would never dare go into the sugar bowl without permission, although sometimes, if we had tired of looking around the Eaton’s catalogue in an evening of sitting around the kitchen table, Mother would let me take down the sugar bowl and count her egg money. Mother never heard of egg money when she moved to that back woods farm in Renfrew County after living 18 years in New York. But it was Aunt Bertha and Mrs. Beam, too, who told her about saving a penny here and a penny there.

It was to be hers alone.

Mrs. Beam snorted when she told mother about it being hers alone though. Sadly Mother soon found out what she meant.

Now, about the egg money.

It was Mother’s challenge

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories to keep money in the sugar bowl. That meant that every week she went into Renfrew and peddled her wares doorto-door. At the first, Mother thought that that meant just peddling eggs. But Aunt Bertha was quick to show her how she could add greatly to her egg money.

“It’s not just from selling eggs, you know,” she told Mother. Everyone in Renfrew likes a fresh chicken now and again Aunt Bertha said.

Soon Mother added sticky buns, freshly churned butter and homemade soap to her wares. Once she tried selling small braided rugs and hand sewn aprons, but she soon found out the women of Renfrew were just as busy as she was making rugs and aprons.

Aunt Bertha said the money could be used for anything she wanted: new print from Walker Store or maybe a fresh pair of lisle stockings. But Mother had other plans for her egg money.

She longed to go back to New York. Not to stay of course, which was always a fear deep in my heart, because

she talked about the place so often and I knew how much she missed the life she once led.

No, it would be just for a visit, to spend a few days with her friend Rosie and maybe go to an opera again or visit the museums she loved.

Yes, she longed for just one trip back to New York and her wish was that one day there would be enough egg money in the blue sugar bowl to go back for a visit.

Often, at night, she would take the bowl down from the back-to-the-wall cupboard and spread the money out on the oilcloth on the kitchen table.

She would count and stack the coins in order and if there were any bills, she would flatten them out and put a salt shaker on them to hold them flat.

Then she would write the amount and the date on a slip of paper and tuck it into the sugar bowl with the money and back it would go on the shelf in the cupboard.

There would be a big sigh.

Never would there be enough money for the trip back to

R0011721791

New York.

It wasn’t because she would dip into it for something frivolous like silk stockings or a new hat -- the reason was much simpler than that.

It would be because Father would have had to have some of the few coins she had worked so hard to accumulate. Father never had more than a few cents in his overall pockets.

So when something wore out, like it often did on the farm or a new piece of harness was needed, inner tubes to replace the well-patched ones on the car or even maybe a new plow point, it was into the egg money Father would go.

There would be so much sadness on such a day.

I always dreaded being in the kitchen when that happened. Father would come in from the barns, stop just inside the kitchen door and pause as if he was undecided where he was heading.

If Mother was busy at the stove or at the wash tub, she would pause for just a moment and a look of sadness would come over her face.

Father would slowly walk over to the cupboard and take down the blue bowl and take out a few coins or one or two of the bills, cram them into his pocket and quietly leave the house.

Not a word would be spoken. We would hear him leave the yard in the wagon or buggy and I would know he was headed into Renfrew or to Briscoe’s General Store with a few coins from Mother’s egg money to get what was needed to keep the farm going.

It was at those times that I would know once again Mother’s dream of a trip back to her beloved New York was as far away as ever.

Registry of buildings with asbestos needed: cancer society EMC news - The majority of Canadians are sending a clear message that a public registry of buildings containing asbestos, including private homes, is important and 78 per cent say it’s the responsibility of the federal government to create one, according to poll results released by the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Medical Association have joined forces in urging the federal government to establish one central public registry of all buildings in Canada that contain asbestos. The registry should be free, easily accessible and include privately owned buildings, buildings on aboriginal lands and government-owned structures.

“We know all forms of asbestos cause cancer and creating a public registry is a crucial first step in making sure Canadians are not exposed to this harmful substance,” says Dan Demers, director of public issues at the Canadian Cancer Society. “Once it’s known that a building contains asbestos then appropriate action can be taken to protect people from this substance.”

From the 1920s to 1990s, asbestos was used as insulation and sound proofing in buildings throughout Canada.

It is estimated that 240,000 homes across the country were insulated with materials that might contain asbestos, but the public can’t find out which buildings contain the asbestos and the list may not be complete.

Extended and frequent exposure to asbestos is associated with lung cancer and mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity.

Poll results also reveal that: • Almost half of Canadians – 46 per cent – know nothing or only a little about how to protect themselves from exposure to asbestos.

Only 21 per cent say they know a lot.

• A large majority of Canadians – 94 per cent – say the federal government should be responsible for ensuring Canadians understand the risk of asbestos and for informing them about how they can protect themselves from this substance.

Worldwide about 107,000 people die annually from disease related to occupation exposure to asbestos.

The Canadian Cancer Society believes all efforts must be made to end exposure to asbestos.

The society cautions Canadians that if they know they have asbestos in their homes that needs to be removed they should hire a professional contractor experienced in asbestos removal. Homeowners should not attempt to remove the substance themselves.

The poll results are based on a telephone survey conducted by the Environics Research Group with a representative sample of 1,000 Canadians. The margin of error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Chipotle beef cups a quick, spicy appetizer Foodland Ontario

C

hipotles are dried smoked jalapeno peppers in a spicy tomato vinegar sauce (adobo sauce). They are quite spicy and add a rich, smoky flavour. You won’t need the entire can, so freeze the remaining in a resealable bag or freezer container for another use, such as chili or pulled pork, or dress up mayonnaise for a dip.

Preparation time: 20 minutes; Cooking time: 10 minutes; Servings: 8.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 can (186 mL/215 g) chipotles in adobo sauce

• 1 tomato and 1 onion, diced • 1 pound (454 g) lean ground beef • 2 tsp (10 mL) all-purpose flour • 1 tsp (5 mL) each ground cumin and chili powder • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper • 1/2 cup (125 mL) approx. shredded old cheddar • 1/2 cup (125 mL) guacamole • 1/3 cup (75 mL) light sour cream • Tortilla chips • Fresh cilantro leaves PREPARATION:

Purée the can of chipotles and sauce; set aside. Cut the tomato in half crosswise; squeeze out seeds and dice.

In a large skillet, cook the

beef and onion over mediumhigh heat, until browned, about four minutes.

Drain in colander. Return to skillet and stir in the tomato, flour, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper; cook for one minute. Stir in two tbsp (25 mL) puréed chipotles and cook one minute. Remove from heat.

To assemble individual appetizers: spoon about 1/4 cup (50 mL) warm beef mixture into dish.

Sprinkle with one tbsp (15 mL) cheese; top with a dollop (about 1 tbsp/15 mL) of guacamole, then a smaller dollop (1 tsp/5 mL) of sour cream.

Club raises money for OHS Gabrielle Tieman

EMC news - Ottawa’s largest singles club raised more than $1,000 for the Ottawa Humane Society on Nov. 3 during the club’s 12th Meet Your Match Singles Mixer.

The annual dinner and silent auction has raised more than $13,000 since it began in 2000 and has helped many local animals with adoption, according to the Ottawa Humane Society.

The Single Gourmet, a social club for professional singles looking to meet other singles in their community, has been a supporter of local charities since coming to Ottawa in the early 1980s, said owner George

Esper.

Created as an innovative way to socialize without the pressure, Esper says the club is not a matchmaking service.

“It is a wonderful way to meet people,” said Esper. “We simply act as the icebreaker.

We try to match people by their age and create events that help people mingle. We provide a forum for it – the rest is up to them.”

Mary Smith, a member of Single Gourmet, said the event not only raises money for the cause, but shows people some of the animals that need homes.

“Not everyone’s soul mate is a human,” said Smith. “You

are more likely to visit a shelter when you have the face of an animal in need in your mind.

So we used pictures of pets up for adoption instead of table numbers to really get the faces into everyone’s thoughts.”

With the potential to raise quite a bit of money every year, Esper said the club enjoys keeping the tradition alive.

“You have a good dinner, you make good friends, and you have a good time,” said Esper. “If you meet your soul mate in the process, then you’re lucky.”

Canada Post considers closing Centrum store Employees urge public to oppose shutting down corporate outlet Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Kanata’s last Canada Post-run postal office is on the chopping block.

Signs recently went up at Canada Post’s corporate retail story at Kanata Centrum letting customers know that the Crown corporation is considering closing up shop and leaving postal services to its franchise outlets in the area.

According to Martin Bertrand, one of three employees at the location Canada Post is considering closing, it would be a mistake.

“I feel it is important that we keep the post office open,” said Bertrand, who has worked for Canada Post for 30 years.

“It is a community thing.”

Kanata is a growing com-

munity, but the post office is still one of those community places where people gather.

“Our main concern is to serve the people of Kanata,” Bertrand said.

The move came as a surprise when the manager sat the three employees down two weeks ago to let them know about the proposed closure, Bertrand said.

John Caines, a spokesman for Canada Post, said the proposed closure is part of Canada Post’s ongoing plan. There are 10 postal outlets within 10 kilometres of the Kanata Centrum location, including an outlet inside a Shopper’s Drug Mart store 800 metres away from the Centrum corporate outlet, Caines said.

He emphasized that the closure is by no means a done 1108 R0011728836

Canada Post employee Martin Bertrand poses in front of the Kanata Centrum location he works at with the notice indicating the Crown corporation is considering closing the outlet. overwhelming,” Bertrand said “Customers don’t like to go elsewhere.”

Employees who work at retail outlets often call staff at the corporate outlet for advice and instruction, Bertrand said.

The next closest corporate post office is in Bells Corners in Nepean, Bertrand said. It’s one of the few remaining Canada Post corporate retail outlets; the Crown corporation

loan processing, Bertrand said. Those services could be relocated to a different outlet, such as the Canada Post corporate location on Stittsville Main Street, Caines said.

Customers have told the Centrum outlet staff that they get better service from the corporate outlets than the franchise locations, Bertrand said.

“You need to know a lot of knowledge (to work at a corporate postal outlet). It’s

deal and that Canada Post takes gathered feedback from the community during this public outreach phase very seriously.

Bertrand called on Kanata residents who are upset about the proposed closure to log on to canadapost.ca/retail to submit their comments for consideration.

Say Hello to your Neighbour!

has recently begun the process of consulting the public about closing similar outlets in Vanier and Orléans.

Unlike those corporate outlets, the Kanata Centrum location has already been separated from its letter carrier section.

Letter carriers require more space for work associated with mail sorting and delivery, and the previous two corporate outlets to close still had the larger letter carrier section housed in the same building.

Bertrand said he hasn’t been given a detailed explanation of why it makes sense to close the outlet, other than “the numbers are down.”

Bertrand estimated that the storefront serves about 75 to 100 customers a day. In the holiday season, “it’s nonstop,” Bertrand said.

Letter mail overall is down 20 per cent over the last five to six years, Caines said, and Canada Post is grappling with the financial reality of that decrease.

There are approximately 130 postal boxes located at the Kanata Centrum outlet, most of which are used by local businesses, Bertrand said.

Robert Rivier stopped by the post office to pick up mail for a Kanata business he works for but declined to name. He said he was not happy to hear about the possibility of the location shutting down.

“It’s quite a surprise for us,” he said. “For a business, it’s everything.”

Not only is the location convenient for many Kanata businesspeople, Rivier said, but changing their mailing addresses will also come with a cost. Stationary, business cards, signs and other materials will have to be changed and replaced, he said.

Caines said Canada Post doesn’t offer any financial support to help businesses and individuals deal with the costs associated with changing their mailing addresses.

Canada Post will find postalbox holders a new location for their boxes and a year of free mail forwarding, he said.

Residents can submit comments online at canadapost. ca/retail.

City to fast track some new businesses Job creation program should apply to all businesses: deputy mayor Laura Mueller

the economic development department,” Watson said during his speech to the business community during the inaugural State of the Economy event at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier on Nov. 1.

The move is aimed at cutting some red tape for some businesses, but at least one councillor thinks it doesn’t go far enough.

West Carleton-March councillor and Deputy Mayor Eli El-Chantiry said the project sounds like a good idea, but said the city needs to do more to make it easier for any business to come to Ottawa and create jobs.

“I don’t want to be critical of the mayor,” he said. “What he is saying is …’We have to do more to draw those investments to our city and to our nation’s capital.’

“To be honest … I am never comfortable with municipalities pick and choosing between companies. All the companies coming to our city creating new jobs and creating new jobs – we should welcome all of the initiatives,” El-Chantiry said. “We need to change the way the city does business.”

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson announced two new projects aimed at boosting private sector jobs in Ottawa last week.

One of the ideas, called the Capital Investment Track, would see the city’s economic development staff “shepherd” all the permits and applications they need to fast-track their entry into the Ottawa market.

New businesses looking to come to Ottawa or local businesses that want to expand would qualify if they offer the potential to create or retain 100 or more jobs, or if the industry is considered to be one of the priority sectors outlined in the city’s economic development strategy: life sciences, photonics, wireless, “clean tech,” aerospace and defence, film/television/digital media and tourism.

“Through this program, the city will select projects, investments or developments based on their potential to create at least 100 quality, wellpaying private-sector jobs to receive special attention from

Talking to reporters after his speech, the mayor said the initiative will probably help five or six businesses a year. That’s the total number of businesses of that size that staff expect will approach the city each year.

“Given what’s happening with the state of our economy and the fact that we’ve actually seen the unemployment rate go up over the last couple of months and we see the trend in terms of the shrinking public service, we have to be more aggressive and try a number of measures to attract more businesses to create more economic opportunities,” the mayor said. “If we can offer what could be considered a higher level of service that is going to attract those companies that bring jobs, then I’m all for it.”

A former small businessman himself, El-Chantiry said bureaucratic delays have an even worse impact on entrepreneurs who want to set up a small business and that’s something he wants to change.

El-Chantiry sits on a group with economic development staff and said he is always working behind the scenes to cut red tape.

The focus on “high-paying jobs” is also something that concerned El-Chantiry, who said Ottawa needs any and all

But overall, El-Chantiry was just happy to see an effort being made to attract businesses, because Ottawa hasn’t done much in that regard in the past compared to other large cities, he said.

“You have to put something on the table,” he said.

The Capital Investment Track program won’t cost any extra money -- the economic

development department will shift around staff time to make it happen.

Another announcement Watson made was the addition of a statistics and mapping tool called Locate Ottawa. The maps, which can be found at locateottawa.ca, contains information on demographics, workforce profiles and consumer expenditures for different areas of the city.

It’s aimed at helping businesses decide the best location for them in Ottawa and highlighting development opportunities for investors.

“This tool makes Ottawa more accessible to the world, and the world’s investors,” Watson said.

It will cost the city $38,000 annually for the next three years, with an option to renew.

Students exposed to career opportunities Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - Thousands of Ottawa students received some career advice during two job forums hosted by the Ottawa public and Catholic school boards at the Ernst and Young Centre on Oct. 30 and 31.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli was peppered with questions about his job at city hall by some of the students attending the Catholic board’s WRK 4U2 (work for you too) forum.

“I (was) getting questions like what do you do on a daily basis; how many hours a week do you work; do you get a long with your colleagues… that sort of thing,” said Egli.

More than 7,500 Grade 8 students attended the WRK 4U2 and the public board’s WOW (world of work) forums.

FUTURE SHOP

The sessions provided students with the chance to meet and talk with community leaders, business men and women as well as their fellow secondary school students who have work co-op experience.

Grade 8 is a pivotal year for students to become aware of what possible career opportunities await them in their community as well as academic pathways that lead to these opportunities, Egli said.

“I think it is a good event.

It gives the kids an opportunity to see all sorts of different kinds of jobs and ask questions. It is the first time I have done it and I think it is fabulous,” said Egli.

“It is a tough decision we ask children to make at 17 or 18 years of age, and I think this is a good way to get them some help with background to make that decision.”

MacCarthy from St. Matthew High School was excited to engage the councillor and get to know what his duties and responsibilities were at city hall.

“I am very interested in politics and I hope to work in government one day, so it is nice to get to know the different aspects of being a councillor,” said MacCarthy.

“I asked him what his duties are, different projects he handles in his ward and how he got elected.”

MacCarthy added that the two-day annual academic and career exploration forum allowed him to learn about a variety of career paths open to him.

“It is good for people to know different trades that are available to them, because a lot of people don’t know all these trades are available,” he said.

Hydro Ottawa crews help U.S. utilities after Hurricane Sandy A group of 13 Hydro Ottawa power line maintainers are in Connecticut to assist Northeast Utilities in restoring power to approximately 354,000 residents after Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage to the area.

“Hydro Ottawa offered assistance without hesitation.

Restoring power is a specialized skill and the electricity industry supports each other in these times of need,” said Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Ottawa escaped the storm relatively unscathed. At its peak the storm knocked out power to approximately 3,000 Hydro Ottawa customers in the Casselman, Blackburn Hamlet, Crystal Beach and Merivale areas.

Crews worked to successfully restore power across the city and our now able to support other communities in need of help.

The Hydro Ottawa crews are working outside Danielson, Connecticut where high winds and falling trees have downed power lines and damaged poles.

“When power outages occur, Hydro Ottawa employees go above and beyond to ensure public safety and to get the power back on as soon as possible,” added Conrad. “I am proud that these crews will be using these talents to help our U.S. neighbours.”

This is the first time Hydro Ottawa has dispatched crews to the United States. During past widespread power outages, crews have assisted utilities in Ontario and Quebec.

The 13 power line maintainers join 12 Hydro Ottawa contract forestry workers who are clearing trees in Connecticut to restore the power.

MADD kicks off 25th Project Red Ribbon campaign Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - On Nov. 1, Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada got its red ribbon awareness campaign underway on Parliament Hill, an event that marked the 25th year of the annual effort to promote safe and sober driving.

“For a quarter century, MADD Canada’s red ribbon has been a simple yet powerful symbol of the fight against impaired driving,” said Gaetan Gendron, vice-president of MADD Ottawa. “We want our red ribbons to be seen everywhere, as reminder that it is never acceptable to drive impaired.”

He cited statistics that between 1,250 and 1,500 Canadians are killed and more than 63,000 injured in impaired driving incidents each year.

“These deaths and injuries are senseless and completely preventable.”

Those who become involved in MADD Canada often do so in the wake of a personal tragedy involving impaired driving. Gendron is one such person, as was special guest Marjory LeBreton, leader of the government in the Senate.

LeBreton, who lost her only daughter and first-born grandson to an impaired driver, has been a steadfast supporter of impaired driving legislation and enhanced victim’s rights

throughout her career.

“To me, this red ribbon is a symbol of both safety and the victim,” she said.

“If everyone takes one of these red ribbons and truly thinks of the message behind it and then makes the commitment to never drive impaired, imagine the impact it would have. Imagine the crashes that could be prevented. Imagine the physical and emotional pain that could be prevented.

That is the hope of the red ribbon campaign.”

LeBreton acknowledged the progress made throughout the 25 years of the campaign, adding there is still “a great deal of work yet to be done.”

In addition to the volunteers who help implement the red ribbon campaign throughout Canadian communities, MADD Canada’s biggest partner is the law enforcement community.

Before moving to Ottawa, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson served in several British Columbia jurisdictions between 1985 and 2005. During his days as an officer, Paulson saw the tragic results of impaired driving all too often.

“I am proud and eager to lend the RCMP’s support to the launch of the 25th annual red ribbon campaign,” said Paulson. “Although education and law enforcement efforts have helped to reduce the threat, this deadly behavior is still a problem in Canada.”

Paulson mentioned the

and too many people looking the other way when they see someone doing it.

This message was repeated by OPP Chief Supt. Gary Couture.

“The (OPP), together with

MADD and our partners, continue to work towards raising awareness, to educate communities through campaigns like this one,” he said. “Our goal is to eradicate impaired driving.

We will continue to fight this

crime, not only now but all the time, 365 days a year.”

The OPP, like the RCMP, will be flying red ribbons as officers conduct enforcement on the country’s roads and highways.

Earl of March grad is anything but Wingin’ It Brittany Adams talks acting successes and dangers Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Washing her hands in the Toronto studio’s restroom, having just auditioned a second time for the Family Channel’s Wingin’ It back in 2007, Brittany Adams was a bit taken aback when the casting director walked in.

“Hi. How’s it going? It must feel good know you have a part either way,” the casting director said.

Adams had no idea what she was talking about but had to say something.

“That’s great. Of course it is,’ I told her, and kept washing my hands,” Adams said, recalling the moment she finally scored a job after five years of struggle.

Smart, driven, quick to react: it all comes together for her with some regularity.

The jobs are coming more easily these days.

Adams, who grew up primarily in Kanata – graduating from Earl of March Secondary School – visits her mom in West Carleton when she can escape Toronto.

She was in Hull recently to film portions of a femme fatale called A Sister’s Revenge, but took time at mother Carrie Owen’s rustic farmhouse on Donald B. Munro Drive to discuss her fledgling career in show business.

Adams plays a waitress, Marci, in the HBO thriller.

It’s a little out of her comfort zone of comedies and tween

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Carrie Owen, right, is one proud momma. Her daughter, Brittany Adams, stars in the hit TV show “Wingin’ It,” will be in the HBO film “A Sister’s Revenge,” and participated in the Nov. 3 “Christmas Song” on the Hallmark Channel. shows.

She loves to make people laugh. But she’s striving to play a variety of characters, much like her mentor-from-adistance Kate Winslet. Adams admires the star’s “emotional range” and classy roles in solid films.

So she has her sights set on bigger targets than the Cancon industry. She wants to make it in Hollywood, though not for the usual fame and for-

tune part. Adams is in it for the craft.

“I do want to do blockbuster movies,” she said. “It’s hard to say I don’t want to be famous; but I care more about the projects. And big movies can open more creative doors.”

The triple threat, who honed her singing, dancing, and acting chops at Kanata Theatre, appears well on her way. The three-season hit show Wingin’ It is set to broadcast in the

U.S. A Sister’s Revenge has a decent budget and promises to entertain. And, finally, Adams appears in Christmas Song, a Hallmark Channel original movie, which aired on Nov. 3.

“I’ve lived a normal life up until now,” she said.

She recalls with obvious fondness her time with Wingin’ It, where she played Jane Casey. According to the show’s promoters, Jane is the smartest kid in school and not

self-conscious about it. She’s always looking for a new club to join and leads many of them, including the school newspaper. She is proactive and not only writes the school play in Season 1 but also picks the cast and eventually stars in it herself.

Adams laughs when remembering the episode. It was written after the producers found out she was a talented singer and dancer. It’s all

about playing to strengths, she is fond of saying.

While she found it odd to play a 15 year old when she was 19, Adams praised her colleagues and the camaraderie they forged.

“When I first got together with the other cast members – they were all a lot younger,” said the effervescent 23-yearold.

ARTS & CULTURE

Actress always putting on a show Continued fom page 29

“Dylan Everett was actually 14 and I was 20. We all got along really well. They are very mature and I’m kind of immature.”

CRAFT

When it comes to the craft of acting, Adams grows thoughtful.

She graduated from the University of Toronto’s acting school. She has theory along with practice.

She talks about being wary of using personal experiences to draw out emotions for a scene, certainly not intense experiences. To be aware of slipping into a character and losing one’s real life identity – much like was said of Heath Ledger when playing the Joker in the film The Dark Knight – is a danger she vows to keep away from.

“That’s where you can into trouble, if you are taking too much from your own life,” she said.

“That’s the easy way, too.

It can be a mix, or just at the surface level – like focusing on how sore my feet are (to bring on tears).”

Would she encourage her own children to go into show businesses, knowing that rejection far outweighs acceptance?

“I love it, and couldn’t do anything else, even on the days when it’s hard to pay rent,” she said.

“I don’t know if I’d let my child do it. You really have to accept yourself. You have to have your own confidence and can’t compare yourself to others. I’ve come to learn that everyone’s a good actor.

And that some parts aren’t meant for you.”

Adams’ parents didn’t push her as a child. Yet, they sent her to a good arts school in Vancouver during summer months.

Her mom would join her on the west coast at her aunt’s home. But her parents were into local theatre, too, so had an interest.

It is Adams who, as a child, couldn’t help herself but perform. In front of family and friends that came to visit, she was always putting on a show.

She actually wrote a script as a little girl.

Mom is proud, but keeps it in perspective. Even when her daughter won the Wingin’ It role and called Owen from the bus ride home: she congratulated her daughter, but was beaming inside.

“I always stay very calm; tell her ‘You did your best,’” Owen said. “You have to measure these things in small steps. Inside, I was screaming with joy.”

Gift of Art sale to feature ‘a little bit of everything’ Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Art is the gift that keeps on giving, long after it’s been hung on the wall or placed on a shelf.

Twenty-four local artists are participating in the Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s 19th annual Gift of Art sale at the Mlacak Centre from Nov. 17 to 18. Six artists will be participating for the first time.

“It’ll be a little bit of every-

thing,” said embroidery artist Judi Miller. “All our new people are in it.”

Miller, a member of the gallery for 11 years, said there will be a mix of pieces available at the sale, including watercolour, acrylic, embroidery, textile, pencil, ceramic and photography.

The Beaverbrook resident said she enjoys taking part each year because it gives her an opportunity to interact with people and receive feedback

on her work.

“I just really like talking to people,” she said. “Try it out on people, see what they think.”

It also lets those who are curious about the gallery come out to browse a variety of works by different artists and ask questions in an informal setting.

The Gift of Art sale is also a chance for people to own an original piece.

“You could support the local artistic community and purchase an original work of

art,” said Miller. A range of prices will be offered, making it affordable, she said.

Admission is free and refreshments will also be provided.

The 19th annual Gift of Art show and sale takes place from from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days in the upper halls at the Mlacak Centre, located at 2500 Campeau Dr. The art gallery is also looking for new members. It’s holding a call for artists until Nov. 23. For more information, visit kanatagallery.ca.

Bell Capital Cup looks forward to hosting Condors Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Bell Capital Cup is looking forward to its new partnership with the Capital City Condors.

Scott Lawryk, general manager of the annual hockey tournament, said the Bell Capital Cup has been a supporter of the Condors – a hockey team for special needs youth – over the years and is looking forward to hosting the club in this year’s tournament.

“To give them another avenue and a place to play; for them to be a part of the Ottawa International Hockey Festival, it just seemed to make sense for us,” said Lawryk. “Their program, it pushes exactly what our tournament is all about: kids coming out and playing the game of hockey and meeting other kids, whether kids from Toronto or kids from the US…or kids from Finland and Germany and Hong Kong.”

So far, around 400 teams have signed up for the Bell Capital Cup, which will run from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1.

Lawryk added the tournament will continue accepting applications until mid-November.

About eight of those are special hockey teams, which cater to children, youth and young adults with intellectual and physical disabilities, in-

cluding the Condors.

“These kids are getting out there and they have the right attitude,” said Lawryk, who lives in Bridlewood.

He said there are a number of others looking to the Condors as a model for special hockey.

“Teams are going to them… they want to be under their banner,” said Lawryk.

The long-term goal is to have special hockey teams from around the world compete in the Bell Capital Cup. “We’re looking to expand this in future years and have this as something they can look forward to,” he said.

“Right now we’re just trying to get the word out there to teams who qualify and would like to experience the Bell Capital Cup.” Last year’s tournament saw 410 teams participate from 19 divisions with more than 7,000 players. Teams from Canada, the United States, Finland, Germany and South Korea competed in the Bell Capital Cup. Shana Perkins, co-founder of the Condors with her husband Jim, said the parents and the players are getting excited for the tournament.

“They’ll be treated as another team at the Bell Capital Cup,” said Perkins.

“They’re being included and integrated.”

Cancer Knights lose championship final society volunteer thanked Kanata Knights Football Club

Joan Shouldice

EMC - Barry Bokhaut is the 2012 recipient of the Celebrating Leadership Award of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Ottawa unit.

Bokhaut has been a peer support volunteer since October 2001 and continues to volunteer in that role. In addition, he has served as community services chair, Ottawa advisory board member, peer support convener, community services trainer, peer interviewer and community representative.

Peer support volunteers are cancer survivors who have “been there, done that.”

Then they use their experience to support others going through the process.

Bokhaut’s personal struggle was with cancer of the esophagus. He has been a survivor for 12 years now.

Altogether, Bokhaut has helped 94 clients nationwide as well as their family members, some for as long as two years. That’s a lot of times dipping into the well of an experience a lot of people would rather forget.

But beyond his peer support activities, Bokhaut has lent his experience to other volunteers and to other programs, such as serving as a presenter in a theatrical performance that addresses the challenges that male partners of women with cancer face as they attempt to be helpful. Bokhaut has been profiled on recruitment flyers, and speaks at Relay For Life survivor receptions and other events.

As community services trainer, a role he undertook in 2009, he helped train peer support volunteers and clinic and lodge volunteers. He has also been very involved in recruitment. Bokhaut’s personal experience is much appreciated by new volunteers who mention his very calm delivery style and the compassion he shows in dealing with clients.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. For more information on cancer, visit cancer.ca or call 1 888 939-3333.

EMC sports – The Kanata Knights lost 39-21 to the North Gloucester Giants in the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s mosquito division championship held at Millennium Field on Nov. 1.

The football association’s annual Championship Week was hosted by the Cumberland Panthers from Oct. 30 to Nov. 4.

During the first half, the Knights and the Giants scored nearly every time they had possession of the ball, which resulted in a 21-21 tie at halftime.

Understandably on a cold, wet, rainy and windy night the Knights ran the ball time and

time again.

Behind an offensive line that has played amazing all season, running back Connor Ogilvie ran for a playoff record of 200 yards, while his brother Adam contributed another 60 yards rushing.

David Wardowski added to the Ogilvie brothers efforts by punching in three touchdowns and was chosen as Kanata’s MVP. The Knights’ defence held strong led by many tackles from Connor Sigouin, Justin Malloy, Jarod Wakeman and Tyrese Brown.

Benjamin Yee and Sebastian Vienneau made some key stops as well as Shabach Kerr who also recovered a fumble.

Unfortunately the dampness and wet field caused Kanata to

turn the ball over three times in the second half. The Giants took advantage and scored three more touchdowns on three long running plays to make the final 39-21.

Looking back it was a great season had by the Knights.

The players can certainly raise their heads up high for their efforts in making each game exciting.

Last weekend marked the end of the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s season.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North GARBAGE CONFUSION The start of the new contracts for garbage collection was not easy for many residents. Despite a lot of media attention and delivery of new waste calendars knowledge of the change for individual homes was unclear. The biggest surprise for many was having a black box pickup two weeks in a row. That was done to get our area onto the new schedule which is black box, green bin and yard waste one week and blue box, waste, green bin and yard waste the next week. Because there is a new contract the time of pickup has changed in many places and some missed their pickup as they were used to an afternoon pickup and it may now be in the morning. This service begins at 7 am so you may need to place things out the night before or early in the morning.

If you are uncertain of what to put out at your home please check ottawa.ca and search your address. You can also sign up for a weekly reminder. The website also has lots of ideas to keep your green bin clean and reduce odours. Special pickup for diapers and similar items can only be made by registering on ottawa.ca. If you have any problems with that service please contact my office and we’ll be happy to help resolve it with you.

Change is always difficult but I know that Kanata residents are resilient and will soon have this under control.

KANATA NORTH BUSINESS PARK BIA’s AGM NOV 20th 4 pm registration, 4:30 pm meeting, the Marshes, 320 Terry Fox Following the vote which approved the creation of this BIA, the City of Ottawa approved the bylaws that formally established it. To get this Business Improvement Area (BIA) underway, the Steering Committee has been drafting bylaws and administrative documents including a first budget, and contacting potential Board Members. The first Annual General Meeting will hear suggestions for the first year operations, approve the bylaws and other documents, and elect the first Board of Directors. The Board was approved at 12 members – the Ward Councillor and 11 members from businesses located within the BIA area.

Stonehaven Widening Project Work on the Stonehaven widening project is almost complete. The landscaping, final paving and pavement markings were completed this week and residents can expect the additional turn lane on Eagleson to be functioning next week with the updated lights. The roundabout was completed at the end of the summer and will compliment the widening project. I have heard a lot of great feedback, but I would like to remind residents to use their turn signal to indicate their exit from the roundabout.

I want to thank Urbandale for front ending the cost of the roundabout so that residents did not have to endure construction for several years.

Hazeldean Watermain Update Starting on the evening of Thursday November 8, 2012 west bound traffic on Hazeldean Road between Edgewater Street and Kincardine Drive will be shifted over to the east bound side of the road and reduced to one lane in each direction. Also, in order to accommodate the lane reductions on Hazeldean Road, the twin left-turn lanes on Terry Fox Drive at the Hazeldean Road intersection will be reduced to single left-turn lanes. These temporary traffic control measures will be in place until mid-December 2012. For more information on this project, please visit the Infrastructure section of my website.

Collection Calendar If you didn’t receive a copy of your new collection calendar, you can go online to the City of Ottawa’s www. serviceottawa.ca. You can use this tool to view, download and print your collection calendar. You can also sign up for collection reminders or request that a calendar be sent to you by mail.

The passports will be available to everyone in the summer.

Passport Canada began an ePassport pilot project for diplomatic and special passports in 2009.

The passport includes a range of historic Canadian images, from Samuel de Champlain to the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.

And as for Ottawa-specific images, Samuel de Champlain is featured in the form of a statue at Nepean Point.

It also includes a replica of Robert Harris’ Canada’s Fathers of Confederation which used to hang in Centre Block at Parliament Hill. As well as images of Centre Block itself and the War Memorial.

“The new ePassport will be more reflective and representative of who we are as Canadians,” said Baird in a press release.

“These images showcase Canada’s history and the building of our great nation while adding essential new security features for the 21st century.”

Low turnout for city budget meetings Lack of criticism indicates support for ‘stability’ budget: mayor Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A sparse turnout and a series of lengthy thank-you speeches characterized a low-key city budget public consultation on Nov. 1.

Fewer than 10 questions were posed to city staff during the afternoon meeting at city hall – the third of four consultations scheduled around Ottawa to discuss the city’s spending plan for 2013.

Mayor Jim Watson said the lack of attendance indicates general satisfaction with the budget, whereas in years past, hundreds of angry residents would show up in protest when they didn’t like something in the budget proposal.

“I think there is generally a sense that people are glad this isn’t a slash-and-burn exercise,” Watson said. “It’s not a particularly flashy budget,

which I think at this time in our economic stage, people are looking for that kind of stable approach.”

Watson said the city has scheduled one afternoon budget consultation in each of the past couple of years to give an opportunity for people who can’t come out to the rest of the meetings in the evening.

“We wanted to give people an option of one afternoon because all the other meetings are in the evenings,” Watson said.

In 2011, the daytime consultation was the most heavily attended, Watson said.

That wasn’t the case this year, with fewer than 20 members of the public in attendance at the 4 p.m. meeting.

The session began with a presentation from city staff about the draft 2013 budget, which is scheduled to be debated by council and put to a vote on Nov. 28.

The city’s “stay the course” draft budget means the average homeowner in the urban area would pay an extra $67 on the municipal portion of their tax bill next year.

It’s the smallest tax increase in six years and at 2.09 per cent, it falls below city council’s commitment to keep tax hikes to 2.5 per cent each year.

The mayor said it’s a plan

other large Canadian cities.

But most of the residents in attendance had positive things to say about the city’s spending on the arts, heritage and culture.

Watson said people thanking him for the $1 million investment in the Arts, Heritage and Culture Plan had become a reoccurring theme during the consultations.

“I think they were pleasantly surprised that we had passed that arts report that asked for $1 million and in fact we’re delivering on it,” Watson said.

“I think there was almost a bit of surprise that: ‘Oh good, they said one thing and they actually did it.’”

In the past, councils would pass reports and then forget about funding them by the time the budget rolled around, Watson said.

“In years gone by there were massive cuts proposed to arts and culture, so it’s nice to have turned the corner and brought in a budget that doesn’t have a lot of big cuts and doesn’t have a lot of big spending, but is very much balanced,” he said.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick, Mayor Jim Watson and city treasurer Marian Simulik appear at a media briefing after presenting the city’s draft 2013 budget on Oct. 24. that mostly sees city services maintained and the continuation of existing projects, but not a lot of new spending.

Representatives from the National Capital Heavy Construction Association continued their campaign to urge city officials to spend more on infrastructure renewal.

Former mayoral candidate

Mike McGuire bemoaned the city’s move to biweekly garbage pickup and questioned the amount of money it would save the city. He was also concerned about the city’s debt level, saying there is never a “good time” to borrow money.

City treasurer Marian Simulik called McGuire’s comments “alarmist” and said Ot-

Own a piece of Parliament for Christmas with original ornament EMC news - The Caring and Sharing Exchange has the ultimate decorative gift this Christmas: an ornament crafted in lead-free pewter depicting stars.

It contains a piece of original greenish copper that once covered the roof of Canada’s Parliament Buildings from 1918 to 1996.

This ornament may become a collector’s item in the future, as the supply of copper from the Parliament roofs decreases.

There are approximately

1,500 ornaments left of this limited edition, which is now half-price at the cost of $15 only. It can be purchased at Hallmark/Davis Agency stores in Ottawa and it can be ordered and delivered by calling 613-226-6434 or by emailing: info@CaringandSharing.ca.

“The Christmas Exchange Program could see up to 29,000 individual requests for assistance this year,” said Cindy Smith, executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange. “This one of a kind

piece is really the gift that keeps giving and would be perfect for your friends, family, colleagues or for your own tree.”

All proceeds from the sale of this ornament will go to the Christmas Exchange, a program of the Caring and Sharing Exchange, to help families and individuals in need during the holidays.

The production of this ornament provided work and income to clients of the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental

Disabilities (OCAPDD).

The star’s design was created by Alexandra Philip, a student at Gloucester High School in Ottawa. It was voted as the winning design of the Christmas Ornament Design Contest in 2011, during which 12,000 ballots were cast.

“I never thought I’d win,” said Alexandra Philip. “We were supposed to submit these designs for our art teacher, Ms. Kennedy, who entered them into the contest for us. Now people are actually going to buy my artwork.

It opens some opportunities for me, but what makes it even better is that the money goes to a good cause.”

Last year, more than 27,000 low-income individuals in Ottawa turned to the Christmas Exchange Program for assistance.

Sadly, community dona-

tions didn’t keep up with the increasing need and the funds didn’t stretch far enough to help everyone on the waiting list.

The Caring and Sharing Exchange expects the demand to be even higher in 2012. Donations can be made online at www.CaringandSharing.ca.

Youths!

Adults!

EMC news - When Natalie Rose Shearer was hit by a minivan in June doctors weren’t sure she would make the night, much less return home to her family in just six months.

The two-year-old was hit by a minivan on Cymbeline Drive on June 21 while walking behind the stroller with her mother, Jennifer, and sister Grace.

She darted out onto the road, was hit by the van and suffered life-threatening head, chest and internal injuries. Jennifer described the incident as a mother’s worst nightmare.

“There was severe brain damage,” Jennifer said. “We weren’t sure she was going to survive.”

Nov. 3 was a day of celebrations at the Westcliffe community building on Seyton Drive where family and friends gathered to welcome the little girl. There was a bouncy castle, music, crafts and food.

“She has been home since Thanksgiving, but I wanted a

chance to hold a celebration and thank all the people that have lent us support over the last few months,” Jennifer said.

Despite the celebrations, the toddler has a long road to recovery.

Natalie has a specialized medical stroller to help her get around and at home she sleeps in a hospital bed. But despite all that, Jennifer is happy to have her home.

Aside from regaining her motor functions and re-learning how to walk, talk and feed herself, the toddler had to have eye surgery. Doctors are worried she might have amblyopia, more commonly known as lazy eye. The condition can be helped with an eye patch.

“She has speech therapy, behaviour therapy, rehab and we have had contact with the (Canadian National Institute for the Blind),” Jennifer said.

“There’s something every day and sometimes it’s tough to

Provincial cash infusion pushes up construction of extension to transit hub Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A cash infusion from the province has fast-tracked an extension of the Transitway near Baseline Station.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP and provincial Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli announced on Nov. 1 that the province will allocate $16.6 million to the project that would see the Transitway extend from the tunnel south of Baseline Road to Tallwood Drive, a distance of about 500 metres.

The announcement was made at Algonquin College’s construction trades building, which stands beside the transitway.

“There is a lot of congestion at Baseline Station,” Chiarelli said. “This will help improve the commute for Algonquin students and the western corridor served by the station.

Watson said the city set aside the same amount of money in the 2010-11 capital budget and hopes to get shovels in the ground near the end of 2013. Without the provincial dollars, the project likely would have been delayed until 2015.

The original plan was to have a grade-separated Transitway link from the tunnel and travel south to Norice Street.

That won’t happen without money from the federal government.

Chiarelli said the provincial government had slated $12.9 billion for infrastructure in the last budget – compared with $6 billion pledged by the federal government.

The new link will ease bus traffic onto bus-only lanes that run from Baseline Station south to Hunt Club Road.

Chiarelli mentioned the possibility of a public-private partnership between the two levels of government and the college.

“P3 Canada has funding for public-private partnership projects,” he said of the federal program. “There could be a partnership evolving out of this.”

While Algonquin president Kent MacDonald said the college isn’t currently putting up cash to fund the extension, he did say a safe, simple commute is important to student.

“Students have said to us that accessibility and transportation are some of their top concerns,” he said. “We can’t do what we’re meant to do if the students can’t get here.”

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the residents of Centrepointe have helped to shape a vision for the area that included the Centrepointe Theatre expansion and the new archives building on Tallwood.

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Mayor Jim Watson said the additional funding from the province will mean the project to extend the Transitway tunnel south from Baseline Station can go ahead two years earlier.

The Transitway is an important piece of that plan, he said.

“A lot of the parking lots

will be changed to structures,” he said, adding that will make room in surrounding areas to have buildings with a mix of

uses.

“Twenty thousand people from the surrounding community are served by this transit

station,” he said. “It will be the transit hub of the west end, handling 250,000 people per day.”

Rideau Trail hiker returns to roots Quest runs from Kingston to Ottawa Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC news - When cancer threatened to take everything, Bruce Watts decided he would take back control by conquering a lifelong dream and reconnecting with nature and his past.

That’s exactly what the Ot-

tawa resident did last week when he entered the Perth and Smiths Falls area where some members of his family still live. Watts enjoyed standing on the mountain overlooking Westport and seeing the post office that his grandfather had built. The immense feeling of connection to nature and his core helped to keep him high

despite the challenges of the day before.

“Physically I was totally beat up. There was nothing left of me,” Watt said of his condition exiting Murphy’s Point, outside of Perth, on Oct. 28.

The first segment of his hiking trek along the Rideau Trail from Kingston to Ottawa – he’s calling it his OktoberQuest – was challenging terrain and required Watts to dig deep every day he set off. For that reason it was a delight when his wife

Small-sized classes for

arrived at Murphy’s Point to whisk him away to Perth for a night at a bed and breakfast and a much-needed meal with friends.

With a renewed physical and emotional body, Watts took off from Perth on Oct. 29 and walked into Smiths Falls by lunch. This town holds a number of fond memories for the nature enthusiast from his brief period attending high school to his sister living in Rocolyn House (the present day Kilt & Castle) when it was completely residential.

The retired police officer admits he has missed human interaction on his country trek that will ultimately take him over 400 kilometres, though he’s had a lot of animal communication.

Watts’ online blog at www. campology.ca recounts each day of his journey, including his first day when he had to detour off the trail because beavers had flooded it by blocking a culvert. A most enjoyable animal encounter occurred on day six when three deer dashed in front of him and then disappeared into the bushes.

“I like to be able to hear the sound of nature,” he said.

“People underestimate the value of unplugging; the peace it brings.”

Since Oct. 22, Watts has traveled solo with just one occasion when a friend joined him for part of a day. Carrying 14 kilograms on his back, the city resident has travelled between 15 and 30 kilometres a day. With so much experience (past and present) on public trail systems, Watts was asked to weigh in on the current dialogue going on about waterfront trails and connecting the community and downtown core. Watts’ number one rec-

Bruce Watts hikes along the Rideau Canal on Oct. 29 during his OktoberQuest to travel the entire length of the Rideau Trail system from Kingston to Ottawa. Watts’ cancer diagnosis inspired him to seize the day and realize his lifelong wish. ommendation was to improve signage for visitors from the Rideau Trail. He noted the signage falls off at the edge of town and details simply say to walk through the municipal parks.

“If I wasn’t a local this would have been very hard,” he said.

MULTI-USE PATHS

He found the signage around Foley Mountain Conservation Area to be superb, and congratulates the town on its work to enhance the multi-use trail system that will serve many in the community.

“I think multi-use is the way to go now,” he said.

When a reporter caught up with him on Oct. 29, he had 90

kilometres left before ending in Ottawa – a destination he aplanned to reach by the end of the week.

At that time Watts will resume another journey he began earlier this year when he was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer. He will be heading into a checkup following his surgery, which took place on Sept. 18. Early detection is the key to Watts’ success to this point and he urges everyone to be proactive in their health.

“If you have any strange and ugly moles that have changed, please get it checked,” Watts said.

The OktoberQuest has been on his bucket list for at least 20 years, having travelled parts of the Rideau Trail system but never end to end.

MRCA takes a trip down memory lane March Rural Community Association

EMC news - The March Rural Community Association will hold its monthly meeting at the Old Town Hall at 821 March Rd. on Nov. 14 starting at 7:30 p.m.

The community association has invited back several of its “senior” residents to the November meeting to discuss the history of the area.

The history of South March dates back to the early 1800s.

There are still descendants

of the original families living in the area. Some of the old buildings and homes that have been preserved including the Pinhey home, the March House, and the Old Town Hall.

The guest speakers at next week’s meeting will discuss what living in the area was like before Kanata was built, where people shopped and went to school.

“We look forward to hearing lots of memories and many good stories,” said community association president Judy Ma-

kin.

At the last meeting, held in October, a new executive was elected including Makin, who agreed to continue as community association president.

Const. Arun Daniels, the March rural area’s community police officer, discussed the advantages of starting a Neighbourhood Watch at the October meeting.

The community association holds a meeting at the Old Town Hall every second Wednesday of the month.

Ottawa police will focus on unsafe lane changes and stop sign violations throughout the month of November.

Police focus on unsafe lane changes, stop sign violations Ottawa police

EMC news - The City of Ottawa’s selective traffic enforcement program will focus on drivers making unsafe lane changes and those failing to completely stop at sign-controlled intersections.

Motorists making unsafe lane changes are a traffic safety issue predominant on Ottawa roadways, according to police.

This form of aggressive driving caused 5,471 reportable collisions from 2007 to 2011, resulting in four deaths and 639 injuries. Eighteen of those injuries were lifethreatening.

From 2007 to 2011, 3,405 collisions at stop sign-controlled intersections resulted in five deaths and 1,075 injuries. Forty-seven of those injuries were life-threatening.

These initiatives support the larger safer roads Ottawa

program, a leading partnership between the city’s fire , paramedic and police services, as well as Ottawa public health and the public works department.

The program is committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the city through culture change, community engagement, and development of a sustainable safe transportation environment.

DEATH NOTICE

Marshall, Mildred (Millie) Evelyn

We offer an attractive compensation package.

All applicants must have their own vehicles.

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of George Laughlin Craig on October 26, 2012. George was born in Kinburn, Ontario on June 16, 1922 and was raised on the family farm in nearby Fitzroy Harbour.

George is predeceased by his father Richard, mother Sadie, sisters Valerie, Bertha, and his brother Oswald. George left home at the age of 18 and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He became a pilot, and thus began his long and rewarding career in aviation.

Beginning in St. Eugene, Ontario, he started on the Fleet Finch then went on to Summerside P.E.I. to train on Harvards, where he received his Wings on September 25, 1941. Overseas, George spent 2 years on the Isle of Man in Training Command, flying new gunners, navigators and bomb aimers arriving from all over the world.

George then completed his 4 engine conversion at Operational Training Unit and was assigned to 6 Group Bomber Command, 424 Squadron, Skipton-On-Swale, Yorkshire. George completed 34 operational trips, all on the Halifax. He remained in close personal contact with all his crew members as the years rolled by. At the age of 22 George was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In January 1945 George returned to Canada and remained with the R.C.A.F. until January 1946. His next adventure was with his brother Oswald. They purchased a diamond drill and headed to Kirkland Lake, Ontario to try their hand at underground mining.

George was with the Aerial Survey Division and in 1948 flew one of 4 Lockheed Hudsons to Venezuela, where he met and married Patricia, the love of his life. They began their married life in Edmonton before moving to Montreal where George became, Chief Pilot, C.P.A. Eastern Operations.

He maintained his farm in Fitzroy Harbour and built his herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle.

These were his â&#x20AC;&#x153;rootsâ&#x20AC;?, always visiting his relatives and friends in the Ottawa Valley. The family moved west in 1963, settling in Richmond B.C., George retired from C.P. Air in 1982 as Captain on the 747. Upon retiring, Dad continued to enjoy hockey, camping and fishing. Dad was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather and uncle. He is survived by, and will be forever loved and missed by Pat, his wife of 64 years, his four children Janet (John), Richard, Marilyn (Mark), and Bob (Vicki). Dad will always be loved and remembered as a wonderful grandfather by his 5 grandchildren, Michael (Cassie), Graham (Liz), Glenn (Lorelei), Lindsay and Trevor.

We wish to thank Belinda, Josephine and the staff of the Richmond General Hospital for all their care and support. A celebration of Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, 4071 Francis Road, Richmond B.C. Friday November 2nd at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wishing You All You Wish Forâ&#x20AC;?

Retail Advertising Sales Representative

The moment that you died Our hearts split in two.

The one side filled with memories The other side died with you.

We often lay awake at night When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy...

We do it every day.

But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain.

Life has gone on without you But it will never be the same.

For those who still have their husbands and dads Treat them with tender care.

You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and he is not there.

Special Needs party will run candidates in all Ontario ridings EMC news - With a provincial election looming, the Party for People with Special Needs has plans of running a candidate in all of Ontario’s 108 ridings.

“We are expanding to all 108 ridings in Ontario. We want to spread the word and we are looking for candidates in all ridings,” said John Redins, one of the nine candidates from the Party for People with Special Needs who ran in the last provincial election.

In the 2011 election, Redins took on Liberal Ottawa South candidate and Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty and ended up garnering 238 votes.

The party has fielded candidates in two provincial elections to help raise awareness of issues affecting people with disabilities.

“There are many issues that need to be looked at to improve lives of people with disabilities in Ontario,” said the 46-year-old Redins, who is currently living on disability

benefits following his second hip replacement and uses a walker to get around.

He said he decided to get involved with the fledgling issue-based party when he found he wasn’t getting the answers he needed during his struggle with arthritis.

“I was a McGuinty supporter, but there are some obstacles I feel are not being addressed in this riding,” he said.

By continuing to run candidates in the provincial elections, Redins hopes that will help create pressure on the major parties to listen to issues that are important to people with disabilities and seniors.

“It helps to get our message across and our ideas get heard,” he said.

One of the major issues his party would be pushing hard for is introducing tougher drinking and driving laws, said Redins.

“The cost of medical and the hardships it brings to families as a result of injuries is unimaginable,” said Redins.

“We are into these for peo-

PLUMBING

ple with disabilities to have a say.”

FUNDING

While the idea of contesting all ridings province-wide may sound good for the party, Redins agrees it is hard to compete with the three major parties.

“We don’t have as much money as they do,” he said.

When he ran during the last elections, Redins said he had zero budget.

“Funding was a major challenge during my last campaign,” he said. I had no money to start with but I just went for it and debated on social and other issues that matter most to people with special needs.

“I tried all my best to get the message out, even without any advertising.”

Redins said the party is increasing its presence on social media to help counter the funding gap.

“We are increasing our visibility on social media to get the message across – it is the

only way we can get the message out for the time being,” he said.

A general election has been widely expected in Ontario ever since Dalton McGuinty announced he was stepping down as premier.

His announcement on Oct. 15 came amid opposition accusations that he misled the

legislature over power plant cancellations that will cost taxpayers upwards of $230 million and pressure from teachers’ unions over his efforts to freeze their wages and take away their ability to strike.

“From what I gather the opposition was stalling the bills.

Basically, all three parties

were playing political games and it wasn’t getting anything done,” said Redins. “So why bother sit in the legislature when you are not doing anything.”

Redins is also an active member of ACORN Ottawa, which fights for social housing and poverty alleviation.

This is the time to get started on long-overdue work, Aries. Things will go smoothly if you focus all of your attention on the tasks at hand and avoid distractions.

What you need most of all this week is to escape the confines of the four walls and simply spend plenty of time outdoors, Libra. Your mind will be cleansed.

Taurus, do not worry about being productive all of the time. You need to recharge to be in top form when you are called into action. Tuesday could be busy.

Scorpio, adventure brings excitement and you are ready for some creative flow of energy and a change of pace. Keep your eyes peeled for all of the opportunities coming your way.

Gemini, expect some additional energy that enables you to sail through tasks at work in record speed. The sky is the limit when you have so much energy.

Sagittarius, this week you will take steps toward getting more organized at work and at home. Clean out drawers and closets and remove any clutter that has accumulated.

Cancer, there are certain tasks that you may find you cannot complete on your own. That is when you should delegate or ask someone with more experience to help you.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, it’s smart if you hold your tongue for a few days until a situation at home has a chance to blow over. Otherwise you can run the risk of escalating things unnecessarily.

Aquarius, this week you may want to make a second attempt at something that didn’t quite work out the first time. You may be surprised by the results this time around.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, if there’s something that you have wanted to try, such as a hobby or sport, now is the time to do so. You have the confidence needed to try different things.

Last week’s answers

Pisces, your innovative approach could certainly work in your favor this week. Don’t be afraid to apply this approach to your finances.
