Carrier book rockets home
to library
COURTNEY SYMONS
The iconic Canadian book that made it into space has now secured a spot at the Library and Archives Canada.
Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk brought a copy of The Hockey Sweater by Roch Carrier on his six-month mission to the International Space Station in 2009, to experience “188 days of weightlessness,” as Thirsk de-scribed it.
Fitting that a book idolizing Richard “The Rocket” Richard took a ride on a real rocket, thanks to Thirsk.
On June 13, Thirsk handed over his beloved copy to the Library and Archives Canada in front of students from the Roch Carrier Elementary School in Bridle-wood.
As for bringing The Hockey Sweater into space, Thirsk said it was a no brainer. He fell in love with the story as an adolescent, and introduced it to his three children when they were old enough.
Reading is an important part of his family, Thirsk said, and of his everyday life as well.
“Astronaut training is a little like drinking from a fi re hose,” he said, meaning there is a lot of informa-tion to take in over a short period of time. “We can’t do our job if we don’t have reading skills,” he said.
Thirsk shared stories and video footage about his time in space, including being able to spot forest fi res and having to call Earth to alert them.

BLAIR EDWARDS
A Bridlewood street was shut down on June 8 by Ottawa police after a full-grown male black bear was discovered sitting in a tree in a resident’s backyard.
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources conservation offi cers tranquilized the bear and trans-ported it to an undisclosed loca-tion 80 to 100 kilometres away
from Kanata.
TREED
Bob McNally walked outside to get his newspaper on Wednesday morning, June 8, when he saw a police car parked outside his home.
“I thought it might be a raid,” said McNally.

HOCKEY SWEATER, from 1
While many adventures and re-search occupied his time in space, one activity stood out the most.
“Our favourite thing was to look out the window at the beau-tiful blue planet below,” he said.
Author Roch Carrier was pres-ent as well, and participated in a read-aloud of the story. Carrier read half in French, and Thirsk read the other half in English.
The Hockey Sweater tells the autobiographical story of Carrier as a young Montreal Canadien’s fan who orders a Habs jersey but receives a Toronto Maple Leaf ’s one by mistake.
Jusrina Bawa, a fourth-grad-er at Roch Carrier Elementary School, said she has wanted to be an astronaut ever since she knew what one was.
“I used to play all these imagi-nary games where I was up in space, fi ghting asteroids,” she said.
Stephen Quick, the director of the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum, invited the audience to visit the museum’s new exhibi-tion called “Living in Space.”
“But before you do,” he said, “go home and read more books.”
The importance of literacy was stressed repeatedly throughout the presentation, and Thirsk gave the young audience some life ad-vice.
“Dreams don’t come true by simply wishing on a star,” he told them. “Dreams do come true by establishing an educational foun-dation under your dreams.”
Literacy, he said, is a major part of that.
Author Carrier couldn’t agree more.
“Education is the key to the world,” Carrier told the students.
The Hockey Sweater is now one of over 160,000 books held at the Library and Archives Canada.

BEAR, from 3
A police offi cer asked McNally if he was the only one inside the house.
McNally said his son was inside sleep-ing.
“You need to tell him to stay in the house,” the police offi cer said. “There’s a bear in the backyard.”
A few doors down, Norm Willet was sip-ping his morning coffee when he noticed the police cars.
“The police shooed us all back indoors,” he said.
Sue Hindle was putting her dogs out at 5 a.m., when a female offi cer rushed up to her shooing her back inside.
“Let the dogs in,” said the offi cer. “We have a bear in a tree.”
The Bridlewood woman herded her dogs inside her house and rushed up the stairs with her camera.
There it was.A full-grown male black bear trapped in
a tree over 30 feet in the air.“I had a front-door seat at my bedroom
window,” said Hindle.Hindle snapped some photos before a
team of conservation offi cers from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources arrived at the backyard at around 9:30 a.m.
The team included a biologist and a re-source technician, known as a bear spe-cialist.
One of the conservation offi cers shot the bear with a tranquilizer dart.
“He didn’t react at all he just kind of
jumped and went back to what he was do-ing,” said Hindle.
The offi cers fi red another dart, which knocked the bear unconscious.
Then came the problem of removing the bear, which was wedged in the branches, high up in a maple tree.
The offi cers called a tree removal spe-cialist who was working a few houses down the street.
The tree cutter climbed the tree and cut down some of the branches with a chain-saw; the bear, which was secured by ropes, was then lowered to the ground, where the conservation offi cers wrapped it in a tarp.
The bear was later transported in a cage to a wooded area more than 80 kilometres away from the suburban community.
The Ministry of Natural Resources has received 83 reports of bear sightings in the Greater Ottawa area this year com-pared to 118 calls last year from April to November.
“Bear sightings are uncommon but that doesn’t mean the bears aren’t there,” said Kowalski.
The home where the bear was trapped in a tree in Bridlewood is close to the Greenbelt, which is a good habitat for bears, said Kowalski.
The Ministry is asking residents to re-move items from their yards that might attract bears such as garbage and bird feeders.
Residents are also advised not to inten-tionally feed bears.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is more than just a fund-raiser.
It’s a common cause, a united battle against a disease that has touched all of our lives.
Hundreds of people will once again participate in this year’s Relay for Life at Walter Baker Park in Kanata on June 17 to 18.The Brookstreet Cancer Sup-porters alone have raised $24,000 this year.Donna Peplinskie, a payroll administrator at the Brook-street Hotel, said she expects this weekend’s walk to be very emotional.She is looking forward to walk-ing the survivor’s victory lap during this year’s Relay for Life.
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, which is the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in
Canada, contributed $49.5 million to fund hundreds of research projects in the country across a broad range of disci-plines and types of cancer.
Canadian Cancer Society-funded research has led to major advances in knowledge about this disease. This knowledge has led to improved treatments for cancer with fewer side effects, to more sophisticated methods of detecting cancer earlier and to information about how to prevent cancer.
The foundation is now in place for the current generation of researchers to do more for cancer research than any other generation before it.
The next 10 to 20 years of can-cer research hold great promise.
This organization is a nation-al, community-based group of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the
enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.
The society is key in many roles including research, advocacy, promotion of healthy lifestyles and strategies and pro-vinding information about care and treatment while supporting families of those striken with the disease.
The society has 170,000 volunteers across Canada. It is thanks to these generous people, who work in partnership with approximately 1,200 dedicated staff, that the Canadian Cancer Society enjoys such a strong presence throughout the coun-try.
Participants in events like the Relay for Life are a big part of this success story.
It’s because of you and the fundraising you do, that huge steps are being taken in this world-wide fi ght.
OPINION
Little steps prevail in this big fi ght
Election season and construc-tion season merge once again with the announcement that the province will spend a ton
of money to make things easier on the Queensway.
Who knows? It might work. Mostly it hasn’t. The creation of more lanes leads to the creation of more cars and a quick return to the congestion that began it all. It can only be a pipe dream in this age when people are driven by cars, but wouldn’t it be nice if that kind of money — $200 million this time — could be spent on light rail and buses.
These thoughts are occasioned by a week in Toronto, a vastly different city but with some conditions that should be familiar to us. Spending some time there, mostly on foot, gives you a use-ful perspective on getting around in the city.
First, any city is better if you don’t have to drive in it. Toronto’s network of subways, buses and streetcars takes the strain out of getting around the city. If you can walk a few blocks, pub-lic transit will get you at least close to where you want to go. You save the big parking fees and the mental anguish that go with driving a car in that city.
We don’t have public transit like that. Ours is not bad for getting from a suburb into downtown. But you wouldn’t want to spend a day try-ing to hit all the Ottawa high spots — the National Gallery, Carleton, U of O, Rockcliffe, the Newport and the Prescott — by bus.
Mind you, not all of Toronto is that well served either. If you live within reach of the subway, you’re fi ne, but many don’t. It has been observed, rather ominously, that the people most likely to vote for Rob Ford, the ultra-conservative winner in Toronto’s 2010 mayoralty race, were those who lived in areas with the worst public transit.
In Ottawa, an ultra-conservative could pick up quite a few votes, using that criterion. But transit isn’t taken that seriously here, especially po-
litically. If transit was uppermost in people’s minds, a city politician who failed on transit issues would be out of work quickly.
Transit matters less here, and the reason for that is that it is still pos-sible to drive. Sure, you can run into a little congestion, a fi ve-minute delay here, a 10-minute delay there, but most downtown traffi c problems could be solved easily by opening up a big trap door under the tour buses on Wel-lington Street. Meanwhile, people still think it is easier to drive.
In Toronto, some people think that. You can see them, not moving on the Gardiner, not moving on the Don Val-ley Parkway, trying to circle the block for the fi fth time to fi nd a parking space, stuck in the left-turn lane on King or Queen.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, de-pending on how you look at it, some of that grief is headed our way. Notice how many of the downtown parking lots you used to frequent aren’t there any more? It happens here too: more condos, more people, fewer parking lots. The bad thing is that it is harder to drive a car; the good thing is that fewer people will try.
All of which poses a challenge to the
public transit people. If you don’t want people to drive in Ottawa, what alter-natives are you going to give them?
Oh, right: a tunnel under downtown. Do you we (a) really think that’s going to happen? or (b) really think that’s go-ing to solve everything?
Good public transit, which most of Toronto has, is not only about get-ting to work and back. It is also about getting to the store and back, getting to the hockey game and back, getting from the museum to the shopping cen-tre and over to the supermarket before heading home.
It would be worth a lot more than $200 million to have that here.

Hospitals provide good palliative care
To the editor,Your June 7 article “Palliative care
needs to be part of the transformation of healthcare” did a great job outlining the Champlain Local Health Integration Net-work’s (LHIN) view that expanding pal-liative care services is a key priority for strengthening our health care system.
However, your coverage may have left readers with the impression that Otta-wa’s acute-care hospitals - The Ottawa Hospital, Queensway-Carleton and Mont-fort - are falling short on their mandates.
Indeed the opposite is true, as I pointed out to the Friends of Hospice.
Our acute care hospitals are getting ever better at what they were originally designed to do - intervene with high-qual-ity care to help people who are acutely ill or have been injured.
Procedures that once required week-long hospital stays have become day surgeries, and some hospitalizations are avoided altogether through medication.
People in our region appreciate the ser-vice they receive in these hospitals; 91 per cent rate their care as good or better.
What these hospitals were not designed to do is to provide ongoing care and sup-port for people who are dealing with an ongoing chronic disease or are simply ag-ing.
The objective of the LHIN is to work with local providers to develop local so-lutions to our health care challenges. For an aging population, that means more
services to help seniors stay as healthy and independent and in their own homes as long as possible.
That’s why the LHIN has made major investments in expanding home care services, developing new assisted living spaces, opening new long-term care beds, improving chronic-disease management programs and expanding other commu-nity-based services.
A similar issue exists at end of life. The vast majority of people don’t want to die in hospital - and don’t need to. In fact, Champlain LHIN Board of Directors, now headed by Dr. Wilbert Keon, has approved a palliative care strategy that includes ex-panding the reach of services like those provided by Friends of Hospice.
I remain very optimistic about the fu-ture of our health care system. It is adapt-ing to the changing needs of the popula-tion and is always looking at ways to improve its own effectiveness.
A good example is technology. As Dale Potter, chief information offi cer of The Ottawa Hospital has said, health care lags up to 10 years behind other sectors in its administrative use of technology. The LHIN is working closely with all of our local providers to make progress in this area.
Residents of Champlain region should be reassured to know that we are lucky to have committed, passionate and skilled people working in all domains of health care.

Soccer club not engaging membership
To the editor,I have been repeatedly hearing a
comment from many soccer families that they are not voting for the West Ottawa Soccer Pepsi Refresh effort be-cause they are angry at the direction WOS has taken.
While there are plenty of reasons to be upset at WOS around the level (or lack) of consultation and the seeming-ly my-way-or-the-highway approach, there is no value in not supporting this effort.
Not voting is not good.I feel that the club’s failure to get the
vote out to date is a failure to fully en-gage the membership and build a sense of involvement.
By taking actions such as limiting participation in the selection of the club’s crest to a few people and holding a poorly defi ned passive invitation to help determine the competitive team name, they have failed to create owner-ship in the club beyond a small number of people.
In fact, the club is creating a strong feeling of exclusion.
That exclusion has meant that every email encouraging people to vote has been viewed as spam and an abuse of peoples’ privacy rather than a call to action.
So if you are feeling excluded, ig-nored, and generally (angry) at WOS,
I encourage you to vote for the Pepsi Refresh in earnest.
The further we move the initiative towards success the more the club
leadership will get the message that a little more respect and engagement is the way to build a successful club.
Show your anger, send a message, and get out and vote.

Trinity is a good corporate citizen
To the editor, On June 8, the March Rural Commu-
nity Association, recognized Trinity Development Group as being a good corporate citizen in this community.
The community association has fol-lowed both the development of the now named “Trinity Common” on March Road and the restoration of the March House Restaurant since their forma-tive stages when it was rural and has been most impressed with what Trin-
ity has done with both projects.Particularly noteworthy was
the excellence that Trinity put into restoring the March House to its former glory.
Trinity has done this restora-tion in a really fi rst-class man-ner.
Similarly, our association had requested that Trinity design its shopping plaza in such a way that it would refl ect the historic char-acter of South March village .

OTTAWA, ON – Divorce is rarely easy and often means a lot of diffi cult decisions. One of the most important decisions is what to do about the house.
In the midst of the heavy emotional and fi nancial turmoil, what you need most is some non-emotional, straightforward, specifi c information and answers. Once you know how a divorce affects your home, your mortgage and taxes, critical decisions are easier. Neutral, third party information can help you make logical, rather than emotional decisions.
Probably the fi rst decision is whether you want to continue living in the house. Will the familiar surroundings bring you comfort and emotional security, or unpleasant memories? Do you want to minimize change my staying where you are, or sell your home and move to a new place that offers a new start?
Only you can answer those questions, but there will almost certainly be some fi nancial repercussions to your decision process. What can you afford? Can you manage the old house on your new budget? Is refi nancing possible? Or is it better to sell and buy? How much house can you buy on your new budget? To help you know what questions you should ask and how to arrive at the right answer for your specifi c situation, a FREE special report has been prepared by industry experts entitled Divorce: What you Need to Know About Your House, Your Home Loan and Taxes?
To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your free copy of this report, call 1-800-791-5542 & enter ID #1009 or visit www:WhatToDoAboutTheHouse.com You can call anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call NOW to fi nd out how to make this part of your current situation less stressful.

Trinity responded with an excellent cre-ation of a “common” of village stores.
Over the years our community associa-tion has had many frustrations dealing with developers who appear to not listen to or show an interest in the community in which they are building, so we were both surprised and pleased with Trinity Development Group for their efforts to create a development that blends into and enhances our neighbourhood.
For this reason, our president, Judy Makin, presented to Stewart Watson, project manager, Trinity Development thanking the developer.

Curiosity thrilled the catTo the editor,My husband and I would like to thank
all our neighbours in the Belleview Heights area for helping us fi nd our er-rant cat, Tango.
Last summer she stayed pretty close to home; but this summer she apparently has decided to explore—teenage wander-lust!
She seems to have discovered that the world is full of human friends just wait-ing to be met! I’d also like to suggest to all readers to be watchful for curious cats who might get trapped in their garages. Again, many thanks!

Dragon boat Dames look to make a big splashBLAIR EDWARDS
The Dunrobin Dames are pulling for another gold medal win at this year’s Ottawa Drag-on Boat Festival to be held at Mooney’s Bay on June 17 to 19.
Offi cially they’re called a team of recreational paddlers.
These Dames come from all walks of life: housewives, grandmothers, teachers, busi-ness owners, doctors and an emergency room nurse.
But when they step into a boat and grip their oars, these recreational paddlers trans-form into a competitive force on the water.
“They’re absolutely ruthless out there,” said Will Moizer, the team’s steersperson – the person who steers the boat. “They’re out to win.”
The Dames have a long his-tory of collecting medals at the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, including two golds in the girls and women in sport category.
The Dames, who hail from West Carleton, Kanata and other parts of western Ottawa, range in age from 20 to 60-plus years old and train twice a week at the Ottawa River Canoe Club in the months leading up to the dragon boat festival.
“We’ve got two grandmoth-ers in the boat and we routinely beat the RCMP (team),” said Moizer, who has been with the Dames during the team’s 10-year history.
The other teams may have younger and stronger paddlers,
but they can’t match the Dames’ work ethic, he added.
“You know if you’re going to join that boat, you’re going to work hard,” said Moizer.
Of course, the Dames have a few aces up their sleeves.
The team is coached by Be-van Schmidt, a former national dragon boat paddler and his wife, L.A., who once rowed for Team Canada, and who is one of the Dames’ strongest pad-dlers.
“We get world-class coaching for our team,” said Moizer. “It’s the secret sauce.”
SCHMIDTS
From 2004-08, Bevin and L.A. competed on the Canadian na-tional team in the world dragon boat championships – consid-ered the Olympics of dragon boat racing in a sport relatively new to North America.
“I have a few medals from the national team I’m pretty proud of both as steersman and as an athlete,” said L.A.
The Dunrobin woman won the Ontario Female Coach of the Year Award in 1991 and has coached paddle sports for the Rideau Canoe Club and Cana-dian national teams. In 2007 she coached the national junior girls’ team at the world champi-onships in Barcelona, Spain.
The Schmidts started ORCC in 2001, a club nestled close to the YWCA-YMCA camp and the Kanata Sailing Club, located on the edge of the Ottawa River.
The Schmidts said they want-
ed to introduce the sport – more popular in eastern Ottawa – to the western part of the city.
Since then, it has become the perfect incubator for young pad-dling talent to hone their skills at the club, which is located at 1610 Sixth Line Rd., just north of Kanata.
The paddling sports include sprint kayak and canoe with long, tippy and slender boats; marathon canoe; outrigger ca-noeing (ocean canoes used in Hawaii, familiar to anyone who has watched the television se-ries Magnum PI) – a new and up-and-coming sport in west-ern Ottawa; and fi nally dragon boating.
The Ottawa River Canoe Club was one of the fi rst organiza-tions to feature a ladies-only team – the Dames, which has evolved from a group of newbie-paddlers to regular contenders for a gold medal at the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon boating is relatively new to Canada and the U.S. but is an ancient sport in China.
The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, a tradition that goes back 2,400 years, is a fertil-ity rite performed to guarantee good crops.
Boats shaped from head to tail like a Chinese dragon, pow-ered by a team of 20 paddlers, work as a team to maintain a rhythmic stroke to the beat of a drummer at the front and are guided by a steerperson to the rear. They compete in 200-me-tre, 500-metre and 1000-metre regattas.
Dragon-boat paddlers sit in the boat, in a style similar to the canoe; they can paddle more than 70 strokes per minute and the boats can move across the water at speeds of more than four metres per second.
DUKES AND DAMES
L.A. has been a Dunrobin Dame since the recreational club was fi rst created a decade ago.
She said the success of the women’s-team spurred some conversation among the ladies’ signifi cant others.
“The husbands of the wives (said) they wanted to do that, too,” said L.A. “That’s how the Dukes and the Dames grew.”
There were also too many women who wanted to row with the Dames, leading to the cre-ation of a men’s and women’s mixed team, called the Dun-robin Dukes and Dames.
The Dukes and Dames will be competing in the mixed catego-ry at the dragon boat festival.
Both teams usually pull off their best races of the year at the Ottawa event, said L.A.
“I really look forward to just (our) really-small 10-year club coming into the city – because we’re looked upon as country folk – and just doing our abso-lute best,” she said. “I’m excit-ed to see what kind of medal we can get.”
The Dukes and Dames are hoping to make it into the Top-40 at the festival, said Bevan.
“I think the Dames will be
very competitive,” he added. “They’ll be gunning for anoth-er medal for sure.”
FUNDRAISER
The Ottawa River Canoe Club has turned into a magnet for Kanata-based teams and ath-letes preparing for the annual dragon boat festival.
The Ottawa Sea Lions and the Draggin’ Docs, two of the top-fundraising teams in the festi-val last year, both practice at the Ottawa River Canoe Club.
The Sea Lions, a team of fe-male Jewish paddlers, raised $24,864 last year.
And every year, The Draggin’ Docs, a team of female doctors from all areas of medicine, in-cluding family doctors, and ob-stetricians, are among the top fundraising teams at the festi-val.
In 2011, the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation will support seven charities: the Ottawa Sen-ators Foundation/Project STEP, CHEO Foundation, the Bruyere Foundation, ArtsSmarts, Otta-wa Humane Society, University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research and the Debra Dynes Family House.
The festival aims to raise $350,000 this year – it has raised more than $10 million since the event fi rst started in 1993 – and asks all its participants to raise the money by gathering pledg-es.
For more information about the festival, please visit the website: www.dragonboat.net.

It’s time for the city to give up on putting a light-rail line on the Ottawa River Park-way, the National Capital Commission says.
The riverside corridor is one of three options the city is considering for a future extension of the city’s LRT line, and it is the cheapest route – but a letter the NCC recently sent to city offi cials told the city to move on and consider other options.
“…based on the information received, the Ottawa River Parkway corridor does not constitute the optimal solution for light rail in satisfying its capital building objectives,” states the letter to the city from François Lapointe.
The letter, dates June 3, goes on to say that the NCC feels it cannot recommend that its board of directors consider allow-ing the city to use the parkway, which is owned by the NCC.
But the deputy city manager fi red back days later, urging the NCC to wait until the city’s study of the options is completed.
Nancy Schepers said the NCC has an obligation to follow through with its com-mitment to the environmental assessment study process before it gives the parkway corridor the thumbs down.
The NCC agreed to the terms of the en-vironmental assessment, which included a look at the Parkway, and staff from the federal agency sit on the core study team.
One of the points Schepers highlighted
in her letter is the fact that the city’s tran-sit planning documents list the Ottawa River Parkway as a primary paid transit corridor, while the two other options – rail along Carling Avenue, or on the Byron/Richmond corridor – are considered sup-plementary transit corridors (which could include bus paid transit, like the Transit-way).
But the western LRT study is re-thinking that long-term transit planning by includ-ing the possibility for rail along Carling or Byron/Richmond.
At a public meeting in November of 2010, many residents said they preferred the Carling option because it would be closer to a higher population of potential riders and more destinations.
The parkway option was criticized be-cause it would take up valuable green space and would be located too far away from where people live; however, it would be the cheapest and easiest route to construct.
The city currently pays about $712,000 each year for the privilege of running OC Transpo buses along the Ottawa River Parkways as part of the Transitway net-work.
In her letter, Schepers states that the city will continue to share the results of the ongoing study with the NCC and looks forward to “continuing a fruitful collabora-tion with the NCC on this important proj-ect.”
Construction on the western LRT line wouldn’t start until after the downtown tunnel is completed after 2018.
No rail on the parkway: NCC

Volunteers keep Canada Day runningJESSICA CUNHA
Countless hours are donated by the seven main volunteers who or-ganize the Canada Day in Kanata event each year.
July 1st can see them put in a 20-hour day.
“On July 1, it’s easily a 20-hour day – seriously,” said Diane Mc-Nulty, programming and media development co-ordinator. “We are on-site at 7 a.m. and don’t go home until 2 or 3 a.m. And then we’re back on site for 8 a.m. to do post-event clean up.
“Then I think we sleep for two days straight.”
As soon as one year’s event is fi nished, the committee begins planning and preparing for the fol-lowing year.
“It starts almost as soon as the last event ends,” said Michele Green, sponsorship co-ordinator and past president of the event. “The bulk of the activity starts in March.”
Green started working on the event in 2004, the fi rst time the event wasn’t funded by the city. That year, there was no Canada Day in Kanata celebration.

John Gooch can add another award to his long list of honours.
The 86-year-old Glen Cairn man was presented with the Mayor’s City Builder Award by Mayor Jim Wat-son and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley at Ottawa City Council on Wednesday, June 8.
The award was presented in recog-nition of Gooch’s tireless volunteer work on behalf of veterans and com-munity organizations over several decades.
“It’s a real privilege to accept such a thing. I never had any idea I’d get anything like that,” said Gooch. “Anything I’ve ever done is because I’ve wanted to it.
“It’s nice to receive a thank you but it’s not necessary.”
The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour created by Mayor Jim Watson to recognize individuals or groups who have helped make Ot-tawa a better place to live.
The award will be presented at the beginning of every city council meet-ing.
“I’m really excited that he’s the fi rst resident of Kanata South that’s received the award,” said Hubley. “He’s done a lot for our community, particularly the veterans and our lo-cal legion.”
Gooch’s list of honours includes the Kanata Volunteer Award, the 1998 Mentor Award from the former city of Kanata and a Lifetime Achieve-ment Award from the Royal Canadi-an Legion.
In 2006 Gooch was one of fi ve re-cipients of the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation, presented in the Senate chamber. The City of Ot-tawa has named a park after him in Kanata Lakes near Goldridge Drive.
Gooch, a veteran of the British army and a member of the Kanata Legion, spearheaded the move to build the Kanata Cenotaph at Village Green Memorial Park in Colchester Square in 1998.
He organized the layout of the cenotaph with the planting of 20 trees, each with a memorial plaque, a central stone, a fl agpole and a com-memorative plaque.
For the past dozen years, Gooch also organized Kanata’s annual Re-membrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph and worked on the Kanata Legion’s poppy campaign.
He distributes thousands of pop-pies every November at elementary and high schools throughout Kanata.
In addition, Gooch visits area long-term care homes in Kanata and holds services for the elderly residents who, for health reasons, might not be able to attend the Nov. 11 ceremony at the Cenotaph.
After three decades of volunteer service on behalf of veterans, Gooch is stepping down as the organizer of Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph.
But Gooch said he will assist who-ever takes over his job next year and he will continue to organize Remem-brance Day services at long term care homes and distribute poppies at Kanata schools.
In 2001, Gooch researched names for new parks in Kanata, and his re-
search was used by the City of Ottawa to name nine parks after Canadian veterans who had served overseas, in-cluding fi ve Victoria Cross winners.
The parks are located near the Cenotaph – three of them are still in the planning stages.
None of the parks have a ceremo-nial plaque yet, but Gooch said the city has promised to provide fi ve of them, along with dedication ceremo-nies this year.
The nine parks are: • Ed Hollyer Park, Military Cross. • Norman Mitchell Park. • Private Ernest Alva Smith Park, Victoria Cross. • Thomas Gray Park, Victoria Cross. • Frederick George Topham Park, Victoria Cross. • Billy Bishop Park, Victoria Cross. • Robert Gray Park, Victoria Cross. • Alexander Dunn Park, Victoria Cross. • William Barker Park, Victoria Cross. • Walace Algee Park, Victoria Cross.
Gooch is a Legionnaire, a lifetime member of the Kiwanis Club and a recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee Medal.

CANADA DAY, from 12
“Prior to amalgamation the city always funded this event. The last time they funded it was 2003,” said Green. “We brought it back in 2005 and we’ve been running it ever since.”
Green, McNulty and Roger Pattison have all been work-ing on the event for the past six years.
“The city kind of backed out and if the volunteers didn’t kick in and organize it there would be no event in Kanata at all,” said Pattison, the event’s food vendors and logistics co-ordinator. “That was such a great event when the city was running it, it would have been a real shame to see it die.”
Instead, the group expanded to include seven main volun-teers who oversee sponsorship, programming and media devel-opment, food vendors, logistics and planning, environment and greening initiatives.
“In the last few years we’ve been fortunate enough that our (volunteer) numbers have in-creased,” said Green. “Up until 2008-09 there were three of us doing the bulk of the work.”
Sarah Dehler, the environ-ment and greening initiatives co-ordinator, has been busy working out two new elements the event is implementing this year: solar PV (photovoltaic) and an LED lighting system.
“The exploration of this is to further reduce our carbon emis-sions footprint,” she said.
Dehler has been volunteer-
ing in her community for years, and after introducing green initiatives at small community events she decided to offer her expertise.
“We started some composting at our community events about four years ago,” she said. “It seemed like a natural progres-sion to take that concept from a small scale…and scale it up to the Canada Day event.”
$100K EVENT
So far, the committee is on track with the budget and en-tertainment lineup.
“We seem to always pull it off,” said Green, who added the event is still missing a fi reworks and title sponsor. “We’re very close to balancing the budget.
“We seem to manage to do that every year. It can be stress-ful but it always manages to come through.”
However, McNulty said every year is a struggle to balance the budget.
“Each year the committee struggles with the diffi cult de-cision as to whether we should cancel the event,” she said. “Al-though we do have some truly great community partners that support this event, over 30,000 people visit the site each year, and if each person donated a toonie, we would pretty much have Canada Day in Kanata paid for.”
Pattison said he thinks most people don’t realize how much it costs to run the event every year.
“Because it’s free I don’t think people realize that it costs over $100,000 for the whole event.”
“Our target is to try and make it a community event that people can come around and en-joy,” said Rod McLean, sponsor-ship co-ordinator.
VISITORS
The event garners interest from people outside Kanata as well, with visitors coming from West Carlton, Bells Corners, Nepean, Richmond and Stitts-ville.
“This is kind of the one Kana-ta event that spreads across the whole of our area,” said McLean. “I think people under-stand that this is their event.”
The event attracts around 30,000 people every year during the day-long celebration.
“We offer a great deal of onsite activities for families throughout the day and into the evening. It’s great to stay in your community,” said Green. “It offers pretty much every-thing downtown has to offer.”
Green said the committee would like to hear from the community after the event.
“That feedback is really im-portant to helping us plan for the next year,” she said, adding people can submit comments on the website www.canadaday-inkanata.com. “If you don’t get any feedback you think you’re doing everything right.
“And our feelings won’t be hurt if somebody has some-thing negative to say.”

Scouting the Arctic Circle: scouts heading to AuyuittuqJESSICA CUNHA
The 1st Kanata Scouts and Ven-turer Scouts are heading to the Arctic.
Around 20 Scouts, Venturers, leaders and volunteers will trav-el to Baffi n Island and Auyuit-tuq National Park in Nunavut to explore a place most people wouldn’t otherwise see.
“Just the fact that we’re going up to the Arctic, that’s exciting,” said Scout member Katherine Birkenhead. “I’m excited just for the experience.”
The group will head up to Auyuittuq sometime between late July and early August next year to hike up and down the Weasel River from Overlord to Summit Lake and back, walk past the base of Mount Thor, the high-est vertical drop on earth, cross the Arctic Circle and spend time exploring Pangnirtung, an Inuit community.
“I hope we get nice, clear, sun-ny days so we can see the peaks,” said Venturer Yiminxue Zhang, who is leaving this year for the University of Toronto but will be staying signed up with the Scouts so she can attend the expedition. “They’re beautiful.”
In order to reach the national park the group will fl y from Otta-wa to Iqaluit, from Iqaluit to Pan-gnirtung and then hop on a boat from Pangnirtung to Auyuittuq National Park.
The group is planning on bil-leting 12 Inuit youth from the
area when they return home to Kanata.
LAND THAT NEVER MELTS
Auyuittuq means the land that never melts, said Delia Ber-rouard, a manager with Parks Canada for Auyuittuq.
Berrouard spoke to a group of Scouts and community members on May 30 about Auyuittuq and the many features of the national park.
“It’s really a diversity of land-scape,” she said. Auyuittuq boasts meadows, wetland, rocky areas and boulder fi elds, ice sheets and sand dunes.
The Scouts will hike through Akshayuk Pass where they will have a chance to see Mount As-gard, the twin-peaked moun-tain with two fl at tops that was used in the opening scene of the James Bond fi lm The Spy Who Loved Me, and the Penny Ice Cap, a large ice sheet around the size of Prince Edward Island.
“It boasts some of the most impressive peaks in the whole park,” said Berrouard about the Pass. “It’s a fantastic area to see the features.”
The sun won’t set during the Scouts’ times in the Arctic; in-stead they will have to adjust to 24 hours of light.
The average temperature around the time of the scouts’ trip will be around 16 to 18 de-grees Celsius during the day, with a low of 10 C overnight, said Berrouard, but she warned the
weather can change at any in-stant.
“Any time of the year we can have snow,” she said. “Some years, rain. A big wind could come up out of nowhere.”
River and water crossings are the most dangerous obstacle the group will face, since water levels can rise or fall in a matter of min-utes and hours.
“Creek and river crossings are the most hazardous encounter in the park,” said Berrouard, who
has been managing Auyuittuq for three years. The group will receive a mandatory orientation and safety briefi ng before they enter the park.
“Self-suffi ciency is important,” she said, “because it’s a remote environment.”
The park is about 85 per cent ice and rock, and has eight emer-gency shelters throughout the area and regular patrols by park staff in the summer.
Auyuittuq National Park sees
about 300 to 500 visitors a year, said Berrouard, with 60 per cent of them arriving in the summer.
“We do see youth coming up,” she said. “We want to see more.
“We’re really supportive of this group coming up.”
At the meeting, the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Associ-ation donated $1,000 to the Scouts to help fund the trip. A number of fundraising initiatives will be set up throughout the year leading up to the expedition.

Donna Peplinskie is looking forward to walking the survivor’s victory lap during this year’s Relay For Life in Kanata on June 17 and 18.
It’s been just over a year since her last cancer treatment.
“My last treatment was May 26, (last year),” said Peplinskie, payroll admin-istrator at the Brookstreet. “I know it’s going to be very emotional but I’m look-ing forward to being able to do it.”
She completed the 60-kilometre walk for the Weekend to End Women’s Can-cers last year while she was undergo-ing treatment.
“It was very important to me to prove to myself that I wasn’t letting it get me,” she said. “It’s such a horrible disease. You have to be a fi ghter to get through it.”
Peplinskie is one of 28 employees from the Brookstreet Hotel taking part in the Relay For Life event – which will see hundreds of participants walk the track at the Walter Baker Park for 12 hours, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
“This hotel is awesome with sup-
port,” said Peplinskie. “You need the support.
“It’s overwhelming the support we’ve gotten.”
The Brookstreet Cancer Supporters, split into three teams, have raised close to $24,000 to date and is the top fundrais-ing team listed on the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life website.
“It’s fun raising money,” said Patrice Basille, executive vice-president and general manager of the Brookstreet
Hotel in Kanata. “It’s something we’ve been doing for the last couple years.”
It’s the Brookstreet’s fi rst time doing the Relay For Life but the hotel staff have been raising money for cancer for a number of years for different cancer charities.
“We’re a pretty close team,” said Basille, whose wife is a survivor of breast cancer. “We had eight female employees who had cancer and two males. Everybody survived.”

Your neighbourhood could be getting its very own Rink of Dreams.
An outdoor refrigerated rink at city hall planned for next winter is causing a stir, but the Ottawa Sen-ators Foundation has bigger plans to create a series of similar rinks across the city and region.
Danielle Robinson, president of the Sens founda-tion, said the NHL-sized rinks would have perma-nent boards and concrete platforms that would be used as basketball courts in the summer; however, they won’t be refrigerated or maintained by ice-re-surfacers like the Rink of Dreams at city hall.
It’s part of the foundation’s new focus on provid-ing access to social and recreational activities for kids outside school hours, she said.
Locations for the rinks haven’t been decided, but Jim Durrell from the Sens Foundation said the group is looking at putting the fi rst rink somewhere in Vanier. If that rink is built this fall, it will serve as a project for the foundation’s yet-to-be-named com-munity rinks program, Robinson said.
The foundation is remaining tight-lipped on de-tails about the program, including how many rinks will be set up and where, or how much the project could cost.
Those details will be revealed during an offi cial announcement in early fall, Robinson said.
The city currently has about 300 temporary out-door rinks, and Robinson said some of the new rinks the foundation sets up could replace some of the more rundown ones that already exist. There could also be new rinks in areas that don’t already have one, she said.
The cost to build and set up the rinks would be ab-sorbed by the Sens Foundation through its fundrais-ing efforts for the Rink of Dreams program.
Maintenance and operations for the rinks would be done through the city’s existing rinks program, which offers grants to community groups to take on the task of maintaining the rinks using volunteer labour.

LAURA MUELLER
The city is taking the guess-work out of recycling by allow-ing all plastic containers in the blue bin.
Now, following an announce-ment on June 10, the only mate-rials residents can’t put in their recycling bins are plastic bags and Styrofoam containers.
Most notably, the thin No. 1 plastic containers used to pack-age fruit, eggs and baked goods – also referred to as “clamshell” containers – are now allowed in the bin, as are single-serve yo-gurt cups. Plastic pails, paint-ing trays and fl ower pots can also be recycled.
That may come as a surprise to many residents who were already putting those items in their bin, leaving the city’s waste collection contractor to sort the forbidden plastics out of the pile.
That extra step is now elimi-nated as the change is effective immediately.
Part of the confusion is be-cause the city used to collect many of these types of plastic in the past, but a dip in the mar-ket for some recyclable plas-tics around 2003 meant it cost municipalities more to collect certain plastics than they could get in return for selling them in the commodities market. Ot-tawa and other municipalities stopped collecting some types of plastic because it was too costly to do so.
But the provincial govern-ment recently created a fi nan-cial incentive for two facilities in southern Ontario to buy types of plastic that aren’t in high demand, so the city now has a buyer who is willing to purchase those types of plas-tic.
The city’s solid-waste ser-vices department estimates the change will divert an additional 1,400 tonnes of waste from the landfi ll.
But River Coun. Maria McRae, who heads the city’s en-vironment committee, said she expects residents will put a lot more than that into their blue bins now that recycling will be simpler.
“We expect to collect a lot more than this.”
That will bring Ottawa closer to its target of diverting 60 per cent of waste away from the landfi ll, said Mayor Jim Wat-son.
“Anything to bring us closer to 60 per cent is good for the environment and our pocket-books,” he said.
The expansion will end up
costing the city around $46,000. While the addition of new plas-tics is expected to generate around $50,000 in revenue, it will also cost more to collect ad-ditional plastic.
But the cost is worthwhile be-cause it helps extend the life of the city’s landfi ll, said Marilyn Journeaux, the city’s manager of sold waste services.
“Our landfi ll is a valuable as-set,” Journeaux said.
Now, the city will try to get the message out to residents. McRae said a lot of that public education will happen at events that were already planned for the fall to inform residents about the new biweekly gar-bage/weekly green bin collec-tion system that will begin in June of 2012.

Waste Management of Canada CorporationEnvironmental Assessment for a New Landfi ll Footprint
at the West Carleton Environmental Centre
Existing Conditions & Evaluation Criteria Available July 4th
The ProjectWaste Management of Canada Corporation (WM) is undertaking an Environmental Assessment (EA) seeking approval for a new landfi ll footprint at the existing Ottawa Waste Management Facility (Ottawa WMF). The new landfi ll footprint will be one component of the proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre (WCEC), an integrated waste management facility that will include:
• A new landfi ll footprint for disposal of residual waste materials;• Waste diversion and recycling operations;• Composting operations;• Renewable energy facilities; and,• Recreational lands for community uses.
The Environmental AssessmentThe new landfi ll footprint is the only component of the WCEC that requires EA approval under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The proposed location of the WCEC and the new landfi ll footprint component is within the City of Ottawa in the area shown on the adjacent map. The purpose of the EA is to study the potential environmental eff ects (positive or negative) of the proposed new landfi ll footprint. Key components of an EA include consultation with government agencies and the public; consideration and evaluation of alternatives; and, the management of potential environmental eff ects. Conducting an EA promotes good environmental planning before decisions are made about a proposal.
Get InvolvedIn Phase I and Phase II of the EA Process, the public was consulted regarding existing conditions, evaluation methodology, and evaluation criteria and indicators. The following reports will be available for public review beginning July 4th:
• Existing Conditions and • Evaluation Methodology, Criteria, and Indicators.
These reports can be accessed in two ways:• Electronic versions are available under the
“Resources” tab on the project website (http://wcec.wm.com) and
• A hard copy version is available for in-person viewing at the WM Ottawa Hauling Offi ce – 254 Westbrook Road.
Those wanting to review the materials in person are asked to contact one of the individuals noted below to arrange for a time to view the materials.
Open Houses will be scheduled to take place in September to provide a summary of the existing environmental conditions; present the methodology for the comparative evaluation of the proposed alternative new landfi ll footprints; and to identify the preferred new landfi ll footprint. Notifi cation of specifi c dates, times and locations for the Open Houses will be provided to the public through advertisement, direct mail, and email, as done previously for other Open Houses in the EA Process. Please check the project website for updates regarding the public consultation for the EA process.

KRISTY WALLACE
Simon Cowell, the acerbic former American Idol judge, might not be ap-pearing at this year’s Kiwanis Idol, but Eldon Fox said Ottawa residents will still catch a glimpse of the city’s local singing talent at the event.
“There wasn’t really a local contest for anybody in Ottawa,” said Eldon Fox, the Kiwanis Idol organizer. “There was noth-ing for the kids to get on stage and show what they have.”
That’s why Fox created the competition eight years ago, which allows youth age 13 to 21 to show their music talent.
This summer, there will be a round of auditions held at the Carlingwood Shop-ping Centre where visitors will be able to see the performances.
“Last year we had it at city hall. For fi ve years it was in council chambers,” Fox said. “This year we decided to put it more into the public and get a bigger au-dience. It works out much better even for the judges and they get feedback from the audience.”
Fox admitted that out of the 100 to 200 people who audition, there are some who might not be the most talented singers.
However, he said judges often give advice to performers instead of being blunt.
“They tell them in a nice way to get a vocal coach, or get some training,” Fox said. “It’s a helpful process they go through.”
He added that some participants will keep trying and many re-enter them-selves in the competition – some have
even won.Fox stressed that those who want to
participate should practice and remain dedicated in order to win the competi-tion.
“A lot (of participants) think they can practice at home for an hour,” he said. “Come prepared and make sure you know the song frontwards and backwards.”
Fox said he wanted to introduce the contest because it’s a positive experience for young people – and, a good opportu-nity for them to get noticed.
Some have even signed record deals with major companies like Sony and Uni-versal.
“I think it’s a real good thing for the community and the kids,” Fox said. “It’s a real good step for them to get used to be-ing on stage.”
He said visitors to the Carlingwood Shopping Centre will be surprised at how much talent there is among Ottawa’s youth.
“We usually get the top (talent) in the city trying out,” said Fox.
The fi rst round of auditions for the 2011 Kiwanis Idol will take place July 16 and 17 and the second round will happen Aug. 13 and 14 at the Carlingwood Shop-ping Centre. The auditions run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Audition forms are available at www.kiwanisidol.org which also has more in-formation on the contest.
Winners and runners-up will get prizes sponsored by Blue Bear Sound Recording Studio.
The top winners will also be awarded $2,000 worth of studio time at Blue Bear Sound Studios.

Earl of March student Nicolas Galuban is one of two winners of the Stairwell Car-ollers’ prestigious Amore Musica Scholar-ship.
The award is given annually to students pursuing music studies at a Canadian uni-versity who demonstrate a very special love of music.
“This year’s winners – fl utist Dahlia Al-Khafajy and Kanata clarinetist Nicolas Galuban – were so talented, we had to give each of them the same $1,000 scholarship,” said Pierre Massie, the choir’s director since its founding in the stairwells of the University of Ottawa in 1977.
“Previously we’ve had winners from centrally located high schools such as Canterbury, De La Salle, and Ashbury Col-lege,” he said.
“This year, we’ve ringed both sides of the city, as Dahlia attends Béatrice-Des-loges Secondary School in Orléans, while Nicolas is from Earl of March in Kanata.”
The two young musicians will receive their awards on June 18, at the Stairwell Carollers’ gala spring concert at St. Barn-abas Church, 70 James St.
The concert, titled O Vos Omnes (O all ye who pass by, pay attention and see), is in honour of the hauntingly beautiful Renaissance motet by Spanish composer
Tomás Luis de Victoria, whose death 400 years ago is commemorated this year.
The audience will also have the pleasure of hearing the Carollers’ a cappella rendi-tions of Italian and Elizabethan madri-gals, French chansons and a Latin Mass by German composer Hans Leo Hassler.
The Stairwell Carollers, recognized pro-vincially and nationally for their singing excellence, are very proud of their phil-anthropic initiatives. They raise funds through concert ticket sales, their cook-book and profi ts from their six CDs.
In addition to the $9,500 granted in mu-sic scholarships to date, the choir has con-tributed over $43,000 to a wide variety of local charities. This includes an upcoming $2,000 gift to the VON in Ottawa, to be do-nated at the June 18 concert.
The June 18 concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available in advance from The Leading Note, 370 Elgin St., and at the door, for $15. Admission is free for children 12 and under. A reception will follow.

The Capital City Condors won a bid to host the 2015 Special Hockey Internation-al (SHI) Tournament.
The Condors, a hockey team for special needs children based in Kanata, put forth the bid after seeing how much the players enjoyed participating in the tournament.
“It pretty quickly becomes the high-light of the year,” said Jim Perkins, presi-dent of the Condors. “The kids are so excited, so excited to have a tournament that’s theirs; so many have siblings that do tournaments.
“We started thinking maybe Ottawa would be perfect.”
Perkins said they are looking at using the Bell Sensplex and Kanata Recreation Centre, with the possibility of also using other arenas in the area, depending on how many teams sign up for the event.
The Condors attended two SHI tourna-ments over the past two years, the fi rst in Orangeville, Florida, and the second in Boston, Massachusetts.
“I think having been to a couple you get to see the excitement in the kids,” said Perkins.
Around 64 teams from all over North America and England took part in the Boston tournament, growing from the 44 teams that participated in the Oran-geville event.
With a parade of athletes, end-of-week-end banquet and awards, the kids really en-joy being a part of something special and something just for them, said Perkins.
“I think it puts something of value in them.”
During the Boston tournament, a Con-dor’s player scored a perfect goal, shoot-ing the puck into the top corner of the opponent’s net.
Before the player had a chance to cele-brate, an opposing player jumped on him, exclaiming “That was a perfect shot!” said Perkins. The Condors player was taken over to the opposing bench for high-fi ves and cheers before he had a chance to cel-ebrate with his teammates.
“The other team was so excited about the shot,” said Perkins.
“You get to enjoy the purity of the sport.”
It’s not all about winning for the teams that participate in the SHI tournament; instead it’s about getting out on the ice and enjoying a game that many of the players have grown up watching.
“It’s so much bigger than hockey,” said Perkins.
So far there is no bid to host the 2014 SHI tournament so there is a possibil-ity of the Condors hosting the weekend event a year earlier, said Perkins.
The SHI tournament brings together teams from across Canada, the United States and England once a year for a weekend event, traditionally alternating between countries.
There are no elimination rounds and no team is crowned champion.
“In our eyes they are all champions,” said the SHI website. “The spirit of this tournament is not about competition. It is about participation and fair play.”
