‘I’m looking for anything’
BLAIR EDWARDS
Five parents have banded together to hunt for an en-trepreneur willing to open a day care in Glen Cairn.
The group is part of the 40 families who learned last week the Kanata Child Care Centre will close on June 30 after 22 years of operation.
“I put the idea out there to fi nd a potential buyer to start a daycare,” said Stephanie Woodward, whose three-year-old daughter attends the Kanata Child Care Centre. “I guess it will be a long shot, but we want to try.”
The group is also considering opening their own day care centre and is planning to hold fundraisers to sup-port the venture.
The Kanata Child Care Centre, which offers care for children ages one to fi ve, is a building attached to a se-niors’ home that are both owned by Revera Inc.
“We’ve made this diffi cult decision to close the day-care to reallocate space to our focus on serving se-niors,” said Sandra Vlaar Ingram, a spokesperson for Revera.
The company held an information meeting last week for the 40 affected families to give them time to fi nd new child care.
“A lot of parents are in tears,” said Woodward. “Peo-ple are feeling sick about it.”
Some of the parents waited four years to land a spot at the Glen Cairn daycare, which offers subsidized child care for more than half its client families.
The waiting list for child care in Kanata south is long – 1,797 children are currently waiting for a spot, with 310 families seeking subsidized child care, according to the City of Ottawa.

DAY CARE, from 1
The children and their parents aren’t the only ones hurt by shutting down the daycare, said Woodward.
Some of the seniors at the Kanata Re-tirement Residence were regular visitors at the daycare, she said.
“The seniors, they love the kids,” she said. “They had relationships with some of them – they had birthday cards, so I think it’s going to affect them as well.
“Grandmas go over to the daycare for circle time,” said Woodward. “They told me they just adore seeing the kids come and go.”
The visits are part of the daily rou-tine of many seniors, said Wendy Dif-fey, whose three-year-old son attends the daycare.
“The kids are their life – they have nothing else,” said Diffey. “I don’t think (Revera) took that into consideration, the grammas and grandpas.”
Diffey said she waited fi ve months to land a spot at the centre.
“We’ve been there a long time,” she said. “It’s really affecting us because there’s no child care centres in Glen Cairn – it’s all home daycares.”
Most of the parents would rather send their children to a community day-care centre rather than a home, she said.
SUBSIDIZED DAY CARES
Day-care centres in Kanata south (Bri-dlewood, Glen Cairn and Katimavik) that offer full-day subsidized child care are:
• Children’s Village at Bridlewood,
four to 10 years.• Emerald Meadows school age pro-
gram, St. Anne Catholic School, Bridle-wood, six to nine years.
• Kanata Montessori School, Bridle-wood, 18 months to 12 years.
• Katimavik kindergarten and school age program, Holy Trinity Catholic High School, four to 10 years.
• Stonehaven school age program, St. James Catholic School, Bridlewood, four to 10 years.
• Community Child Care of Ottawa, agency serving Kanata matches provid-er with client.
• Wee Watch enriched home child care, agency serving Kanata.
Kanata Montessori is the only sub-sidized child care in Kanata South that accepts children younger than two years old.
The parents who have subsidized child care at the Kanata Child Care Centre will be able to carry their funding to any licensed facility with space available in Ottawa.
Andrea Gomes, whose three-year-old daughter attends the Glen Cairn day-care, said that so far she’s only found a few summer programs run by the City of Ottawa and a few home daycare spots – most of them unlicensed.
“Right now I’m just calling around to different places, just hoping to get a spot,” she said. “I’m looking for any-thing.”
Gomes said she pays $40 a day – with half the money subsidized by the city – or $800 a month for child care.
When the Kanata Child Care Centre
shuts down it will be a loss to the com-munity, she said.
“It’s the only one in Glen Cairn,” she said. “There’s other ones that are for profi t – but you can’t get into those as well.”
Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said he’s asked city staff if there’s anything that can be done to help the parents fi nd
new child care.“We’ve got to fi nd out what can be done
to help out,” he said.Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkin-
son said parents who are able to pay the full amount for child care don’t have to wait long to fi nd a spot at a day care in Kanata.
“If you’re on a subsidy it’s forever.”

‘They just adore seeing the kids come and go’: Day care parents

nal people, and not just the AOO.“They have to consult with not just one, but all.
They have to consult with us.”That one group can’t speak for all Aboriginals,
added Goddard. But that’s not the main reason for their presence.
“This is the way we mourn,” said Goddard about the sacred fi re. “This is the way we mourn for the forest, the animals, the people. Mourn the loss of the Manitou’s.”
Burning the sacred fi re is a personal initiative for Bernard, who travelled to Kanata from Scarbor-ough, in response to a declaration by Algonquin el-der William Commanda, who called the site sacred.
“The forest behind me is sacred. It belongs to no one but itself,” said Bernard. “God is in there. This forest needs to be protected.”
JESSICA CUNHA
Algonquin warrior Daniel Bernard “Amickwabe” said the sacred fi re that has been burning at the Beaver Pond since Jan. 19 will be a reminder of the voice of the people.
“That will be a permanent record of the united voice of the Algonquin community of the massacre of the sacred forest,” said Bernard, who handed over fi re-keeping du-ties to the Kanata community on Jan. 23.
A large number of residents have been visiting the site daily, bringing wood to burn, food, coffee, hot chocolate and their company.
Sandra Benedetti and her son Kurtis were at the Walden Drive entrance to the pond for a number of hours on the fi rst day.
Sandra, who’s lived near the pond for 23 years, said the forest is a healing place. She knows a number of people who have used it to help them through diffi cult times. She said she’s used the forest to help with her anxiety.
“It makes sense there’s something here, something special,” said Sandra.
“That’s why they come here, they’re feel-ing the healing,” said Ron “Big Bear” God-dard, a medicine man with the Four Winds InterTribal Medicine Council.
NEW FIRE-KEEPER
A ceremony was held at the Walden Drive
entrance to the pond Sunday afternoon where Goddard transferred the fi re-keep-ing duties to resident Christopher Busby and members of the community.
“(The Algonquins) asked me to take it over on their behalf,” said Busby. “I just said yes immediately.”
The fi re will be attended 24 hours a day.“We’ve created a roster of people,” he
said. “We’ve got the whole schedule pretty much fi lled up around the clock; there has to be someone there all the time.”
The sacred fi re was built by Bernard, whose clan name “Amickwabe” means “people of the beaver.”
“It’s no coincidence,” said Bernard about the meaning of his name and the fact he felt a pull toward the Beaver Pond, which is in peril of being clear-cut.
“It wasn’t planned that I’d be here,” said Bernard, who is not a member of the Algonquins of Ontario. “For me, it’s not something I do for myself, I had to do it. It’s spontaneous.”
KNL Development Inc. announced Wednesday it will delay tree-cutting until Jan. 31 in order to honour a request by the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO). The group wants to complete a review of archaeologi-cal documents.
‘THE WAY WE MOURN’
“This is not a political move, it’s a spiri-tual move,” Bernard explained. “It’s done to bring people here.” He added the prov-ince has a duty to consult with all Aborigi-

Sacred fi re burns for Beaver Pond

KNL halts development
JESSICA CUNHA
KNL Development Inc., which owns the lands north of the Bea-ver Pond, agreed to delay cutting in the area until Jan. 31.
The company announced the postponement on Jan. 19, the same day Algonquin warrior Daniel Bernard “Amickwabe” set up a sacred fi re at the Beaver Pond.
“KNL has agreed to defer cut-ting trees on lands north of the Beaver Pond until after Jan. 31st,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.
KNL is honouring a request from the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) to delay clear-cutting un-til the group can evaluate the existing archaeological assess-ment, she said.
The city urged KNL to consider delaying construction after the developer was given the green light to begin on Jan. 17, when the city sent a letter to KNL say-ing it had met all necessary pre-conditions for tree removal for Phase 9 of the development.
KNL has not said when it would begin cutting, said Wilkinson.
CONSULT WITH ALL
Other Algonquin groups have come forward to say they should be consulted in the matter as well.
“The AOO, they’re an arm of the government, they don’t represent everyone” said Chief Mireille Lapointe of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation. “The AOO can’t bill itself as the only one. You can’t leave it up to one nation.”
Nine Algonquin groups and representatives have written to the city in support of protecting the lands north of the Beaver Pond.
“For 20 years community lead-ers outside the claims process have consistently reminded the province and the federal govern-ment that there is a duty to con-sult with all Algonquin people. The AOO has shown through past actions that they cannot be trusted to represent the interests of all Algonquin people with re-spect to decisions about develop-ment and resource extractions,” wrote Chief Paula Sherman of the Kapishkawandemin Family Head’s Council.
“Algonquin Law is still in ef-fect in our homeland and we remind both the Province of On-tario and Canada that you have a fi duciary responsibility to con-sult with us as Algonquin com-munities about any development that has been proposed to hap-pen. Consultation with the AOO is not consultation with our com-munities.”
LAURA MUELLER
Ottawa won’t be re-opening the de-bate over whether to expand its urban boundary any time soon, if they city’s planning committee has anything to say over it.
That committee chose not to revisit the issue during its meeting on Jan. 25. Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess had asked the committee to receive informa-tion and reconsider the last council’s decision to scale back an expansion of the urban boundary.
That boundary places restrictions on development. In 2009, city staff recom-mended expanding the limit by 851 hect-ares to allow for 20 years of population growth, but in a 12-11 vote, the previous city council decided to limit the expan-sion to only 230 hectares (which would allow for 15 years of growth).
Mayor Jim Watson said he is happy
the committee supported council’s orig-inal decision.
Watson said the potential $400,000 cost hasn’t changed his position or council’s position that they are “on the right track.”
Watson said he feels the city’s posi-tion is strong and it has a good chance of winning at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
Developers that own land in the area that wasn’t included in the urban boundary expansion have appealed the decision to the OMB because it restricts their ability to build on their land.
“This is an important issue for us,” Watson said. “It determines at the end of the day who is going to make deci-sions with regards to growth and plan-ning, and I believe it should be elected offi cials.”
While Bloess said he predicted the city would have less opposition from developers if it decided to expand the
urban boundary by at 851 hectares, the city’s outside lawyer on the manner, Bruce Engell, said reversing the last council’s decision would make the city look fi ckle.
Engell said he couldn’t predict wheth-er the number of applicants who are fi ghting the case to the Ontario Munici-pal Board would have dropped if the city decided to expand the urban boundary.
“Would it make it (OMB hearings) go away..? I can’t offer you any certainty that they would,” Engell said.
Making matters even more compli-cated, the meeting room was fi lled with lawyers and representatives from the development groups that are taking the city to the OMB.
There were also a number of resi-dents present. Some, such as Amy Kempster, said the city needs to have consistent policies: if Ottawa has a pol-icy to encourage intensifi cation in the offi cial plan, Kempster argued, the city
shouldn’t expand its urban boundary more than necessary.
Former Knoxdale-Merivale councillor Gord Hunter, who retired in December, also spoke at the committee meeting.
Hunter, who chaired the planning and environment committee for 18 years, said councillors now have a chance to reverse the last council’s incorrect deci-sion to limit the expansion.
“It was really disheartening to see this small amount of expansion suggested by the staff was cut back for what I see as crass political reasons,” Hunter said.
He said the city will need to expand its urban boundary to at least 851 hect-ares in the future, and the city should be looking farther into the future than just the next 15 years.
The planning committee’s recommen-dation to let the last council’s decision stand was set to go to full council for fi nal approval on Wednesday (results were not available at press time).

Mayor proclaims January 2011health and wellness month
JESSICA CUNHA
Mayor Jim Watson proclaimed January 2011 as health and wellness month at the fi rst annual Kanata Well-ness Expo, which took place on Satur-day, Jan. 22 at the Kanata Holiday Inn & Suites.
Over 35 vendors set up shop to dem-onstrate healthier lifestyles – from Capital MissFits, which offers fi tness alternatives such as pole dancing; the Canadian Hypnosis Centre, which of-fers to help people with weight loss and quitting smoking; and a number of martial arts schools and big-name gyms.
“We always treating sick people in-stead of promoting wellness and pre-venting illness in the fi rst place,” said Watson.
“Getting people to get out and think about what they’re eating and their lack of activity,” is important to stay-ing healthy, he said.
Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri and West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chan-tiry were on hand for the proclama-tion.
The Kanata Wellness Expo was founded by Dr. Craig Hazel as a way for the public to have their health and
wellness questions answered as well as to showcase the many opportuni-ties available in the community.

HST cuts bad idea: premier
LAURA MUELLER
Ontario Premier Dalton Mc-Guinty called on the business community to do their part to continue bolstering the econo-my.
Speaking at an Ottawa Cham-ber of Commerce lunch on Fri-day, Jan. 21, McGuinty encour-aged business owners to “take advantage of the incentives we have given you” such as cuts to the corporate income tax rate.
Ontario families’ “hope and security” rely on a successful economy, McGuinty said. He said businesses have a responsi-bility to invest in growth.
“Businesses need to step up with research and development of its own, and investment in training,” he said.
McGuinty used the election-style speech to highlight his gov-ernment’s achievements – and to deliver a warning.
With a provincial election on Oct. 6 drawing closer, the pre-mier said voters should be wary of political parties that vow to cut the harmonized sales tax his government brought into effect. A two per cent cut to the HST would slash the province’s bud-get by $6 billion.
“It looks seductive, but it isn’t a good idea,” the premier said. “You can’t take $6 billion out of the system and not compromise two important pillars of our pro-ductivity, our competitiveness in the global economy: health care and education,” McGuinty said.
It would also be “wildly irre-sponsible” to change the prov-ince’s much bemoaned hydro rate system, McGuinty said.

After an absence of about, oh, 40 years, I checked in at the library for Story Time the other day. It was pretty good. All the kids thought so. There was a lot about snowfl akes. The kids paid attention, behaved, the way kids do when they are really interested in something.
And while the little movie had their undivided attention, so did the reading aloud from books, which is encouraging in this day and age.
If you needed persuading, you would be persuaded that public libraries are a good thing when you watch dozens of toddlers and their parents wandering in and amusing themselves in a construc-tive way, and none of it costing them a dime.
Before and after Story Time, there was time to hang out in the children’s section, picking over books for them to borrow, keeping an eye out for stories that were too scary (which doesn’t necessarily mean ones with alligators in them), or too earnest, or too long, or too precious, or too much aimed at pleasing grown-ups.
Here is another reason to thankful for public libraries. If you know children who like books, you know that they like a lot of books. They may like to go back
to the same ones again and again, but they also like new books, many of them, and you would rapidly go broke buying them all. So the library is vital here.
To run a children’s program well, a library doesn’t need to be grand. This is not to say that a brand new fancy library in downtown Ottawa wouldn’t be great. It would be and should be. Anyone who has seen how Vancouver’s public library adorns the city’s downtown knows how truly cool, not to mention useful, a library can be.
But in building the big downtown library, it would be wrong to neglect the suburban branches. Those are the ones that are full of little kids on the days of Story Time. The buildings may be more modest, the facilities less than sumptu-ous. But they are close to where people live and they get used. They need to be
kept open, and perhaps be kept open more days and more hours than they are now.
For one thing, this would give chil-dren an opportunity to see librarians in action, and notice what heroes they are. As anyone with children or grand-children knows, the heroes and heroines of children’s books are usually bears, turtles, monkeys, dinosaurs or trucks, not librarians. On the rare occasion when heroes and heroines are human, they are mostly children, which is fair enough, or fi re fi ghters, which is always good.
Sometimes the stars of children’s books are knights who go around slaying dragons, which seems a little violent, not to mention archaic in the Internet age. Nowadays if you wanted to slay a dragon, you’d just pose an unfl at-tering picture (and most dragon pictures are) on its Facebook page.
Relevance in children’s literature is what we need. True, farmers get to be in children’s books, which is well-deserved. But we need to see more librarians on those large pages. Sharp-eyed readers may recall that there is indeed a heroic librarian in the book Library Lion, but she mostly takes second-billing to a lion.
Books make a big impression on young readers and listeners. That’s why there should be social workers at the centre of those books, and missionaries and researchers and statisticians. And writers too. Yes.
None of these people slay dragons or fi nd buried treasure or save Christmas, but they lead interesting and useful lives and who’s to say that they don’t deserve to be in picture books.
Those of you who are public servants know the kind of quiet heroism the work entails. The trick is to fi nd entic-ing story lines with words that are not too big.
The library needs more public ser-vants in picture books. Also teachers who are not owls.

CHARLES GORDON
Funny Town
Lessons for grown-ups from Story Time
Mayor Jim Watson has obviously learned a few tricks about passing city budgets after watching the struggles of his predecessor, Larry O’Brien.
First, don’t make promises you can’t keep – “zero means zero” ultimately was the political epitath to O’Brien’s battles at the budget table.
Second, avoid confl ict.Case in point: the suggested transit cuts for the
2011 draft budget.The draft budget suggests the city will seek $22
million in cuts this year and next, not to mention a 2.5 per cent hike in bus fares.
Which routes are going to be cut?We don’t know.How many routes will be cut?We don’t know.The city will hash out the messy details in
March – after the budget has been passed.It’s a great way to smooth the way for the ap-
proval of the budget – no one can raise a stink during public consultation, because no one has any idea what the cuts are.
These tactics are shifty at best.But smart as well.It allows the public to focus on the bells and
whistles included in the budget, such as $20 mil-
lion in new spending, money offset by the $25 mil-lion for social services uploaded by the provincial government.
There’s $10 million for housing and poverty reduction; $2 million for economic development; half a million for environmental initiatives.
The carrot of new spending is in sight while the stick is locked safely away until after the budget passes.
In all fairness, Watson is tackling a diffi cult problem – the ballooning costs of transit in the City of Ottawa.
Cuts to public transit have never been a popu-lar subject come budget time.
Commuters will have to accept the reality that it looks like the city is fi nally going to clamp down on transit costs.
That will mean higher bus fares, reduced service and probably a lot more crowded buses – a reality that will continue until the city welcomes light rail improvements.
Eventually, some commuters – those who can afford it – will consider the option of travelling to work by car.
Those who can’t will just have to grin and bus it.
Commuters must grin and bus itEDITORIAL

Dog days of reportingRe: No sign? Dogs run free, Jan. 20,
Kourier-Standard.To the editor:I read your article with at best, dis-
gust. How many times have you had a dog
jump on you? Ever had your clothing damaged by dog paws ?
The owner will stop, smile and hold the dog in the middle of the path (the two are large enough that they com-pltely block any chance of manouevring around them on the path) while you have to pass via the snowbanks in urine and excrement?
I’m assuming from your article you
must be one of these people. Eric St. John

Memories of Beaver Pond
To the editor:Having lived nearly all of my 44 years
in Kanata, I recollect fondly the thou-sands of hours spent throughout my childhood exploring the Beaver Pond and surrounding areas. In those days, we would hike past the boundary of Beaverbrook and into the woods, always stopping at the old Kanata riding stables to see the horses before continuing on
to fi nd the Pond. No roads existed to the Beaver Pond so it meant following trails now long-lost. It seemed then that this magical place was miles from anywhere and it captivated us with its peace, beauty, wildlife.
We would catch frogs, wander through the woods, build tree forts and live out our childhood adventures.
Bit by bit, however, the paradise of our youth has disappeared.
The old dirt road to SS#1 School has long since been enveloped into suburbia. Richardson Side Road has transformed from a rural, forest-lined secondary road where we would freely ride our bikes without ever seeing a car to a major artery bounded by development on all sides.
The Beaver Pond forest is almost the last natural vestige of my childhood lost which remains today but which will
disappear tomorrow. Reading about its imminent destruc-
tion leaves an ache and no small amount of sadness. Part of me does not blame KNL for developing what is legally theirs.
Societies progress, cities grow and the only constant in our world is continual change.
I do question, however, whether we, as a society, will ever reconsider our notion of nearly unfettered development based on clear cutting and maximum profi t in an era of diminishing natural resources and environments.
Once these areas disappear, they are lost forever – from our surroundings and from our memory. Bit by bit, the legacy to pass along gets smaller and smaller.

Based on where the two teams were in the National Capital Sec-ondary School Athletic Associa-tion standings, it shouldn’t have been much of a contest.
But the St. Pius X-Men gave the All Saints Avalanche all they could handle and then some, before fi nal-ly dropping a 53-49 thriller in se-nior boys’ AAA/AAAA basketball on Jan. 19.
It was a game that wasn’t decid-ed until the fi nal seconds.
With the X-Men – who were 2-5 en-tering the game – in the lead 49-48, star guard Mike Brooks netted a rebound with 15.1 seconds remain-ing to put the Avalanche ahead for good.
It was the third time this season Brooks has hit a game-clinching shot for All Saints (7-1).
“I think our guys now realize that and pulled through,” said Ava-lanche head coach Mark Podgor-ski of his team’s inconsistent play against a lower-seeded opponent. “But good teams win and great teams close (out games).”
And the Avalanche certainly needed their fi nishing skills be-cause the X-Men weren’t going down without a fi ght.
After an evenly-played opening half, which ended with All Saints leading 24-23, the X-Men came out hard in the third.
Head coach Stacy Villeneuve was quick credit the play of forward Tyler Cuddieh, high-fl yer Saj Al-haddad and small guard Buay Reat – who fi nished with a team-high 16 points – for leading the way.
The X-Men held a 38-36 advantage heading into the fourth quarter and, after a back-and-forth period, were up by two points with 1:25 re-maining thanks to a three-pointer.
“They executed every play al-most,” a proud Villeneuve said.
“They shouldn’t be (upset). They played really well.
“If someone came out and watched all of our games, they wouldn’t believe we’re in this posi-tion.”
The high-school exam schedule means the teams are now on a break, however they will return to different sets of expecta-tions.
While the X-Men are forced to play out the stretch, the Avalanche are hoping to make a long playoff run.
After losing their season-opener to Earl of March, the Avalanche have now registered seven straight victories.
Much like their four-quarter breakthrough against St. Pius, Podgorski says he hopes his team will have that winning swagger in the postseason.
“If you don’t have confi dence in anything you do – let alone on the court – you’re not going to be very successful,” he said.
Game on!St. Pius pushes All Saints to their limits

2011: Draft budget
$28 million for fl ood fi xes
JESSICA CUNHA
The draft budget released on Jan. 19 means Kanata could be getting $28 mil-lion to fi x the fl ooding issues.
Before, there was only $5 million set aside to do the work, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.
“What you can expect to see this year is pipe replacements, road modifi ca-tions,” said Hubley. “Once the budget is fi nalized in the next 30 to 45 days and all the reports are tabled, we will be able to start work on many of the projects as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Residents can expect to see a lot of work happening on that this year.”
Other items for Kanata residents in-clude:
•Transit and transportation.•Road construction and cycling
routes.•Recreation and park improvements.Kanata North Coun. Marianne
Wilkinson said she’s pleased city coun-cil was able to keep the tax increase below 2.5 per cent but it means people won’t see much increase in services.
“The overall is there’s not a lot of cuts but there’s not a lot of increase in service,” she said. “It’s still a very tight budget.”
Kanata homeowners can expect to see an average increase on their taxes of about 2.45 per cent, or $75. Last year the average urban tax increase was $125.
“Taxes will go up a bit,” said Wilkin-son, adding the powerline levy for Kanata North residents will not come into effect until 2012.
“We’re half of what last year’s in-crease was at our starting point,” said Hubley. “I anticipate we will end up near this point. It’s a realistic bud-get; it’s improvements over previous years.”
TRANSIT
Wilkinson, who is chair of the trans-portation committee, said she is con-cerned about the cuts to transit, which equal around $22 million.
“We could lose some routes,” said Wilkinson, who added she, Hubley and Stittsville Coun. Shad Quadri will sit
down together to talk about adjusting the routes in their wards.
“We have to make sure there’s some choice,” she said, adding that for some people the bus is their only option to get around in the city. “It’s their only choice.”
She said the city needs to look at making the entire OC Tranpo system more effi cient.
“I think it’s a fi rst step of having to take a look at our overall system,” she said.
“People have told me they don’t like seeing empty buses go by when in oth-ers everyone is standing up,” said Hub-ley.
“We’re getting recommendations on where improvements can be made in the routes. If we can do something to make peoples’ trips better we’re going to do it.”
The draft budget also includes money for park and rides in the Ottawa area.
“We’ve got money put in there to do work on the park and rides in Kanata,” he said.
Staff needs to talk with the National Capital Commission about possibly ex-panding the Eaglson park-and-ride, but what they’d really like to see is one cre-ated in Kanata North to alleviate the parking pressure, he said.
“Councillor Quadri and I are push-ing for a park-and-ride at Scotiabank Place. The two of us are working hard to get that. That will give us capacity for years to come.”
In the draft budget, money will be put towards a Bayshore and Moodie Drive link on the transit way.
“We put money into the Bayshore and Moodie link on the transitway be-cause that’s a bottleneck area,” said Hubley.
There is also work being done look-
ing at getting express routes using Ter-ry Fox Drive, he said.
OTHER ITEMS
Recreation was a big issue for Kana-ta residents.
“Since amalgamation, recreation fees have been going up and up. For the fi rst time we froze the recreation fees,” said Hubley. “We’re going to fi nd the savings elsewhere to pay for that. We want kids and families to have op-tions.”
He said they are looking at improve-ments to existing facilities, such as the tennis courts in Bridlewood and build-ing more splash pads.
The Bridlewood area has been ask-ing for a community pool for years.
“I’m not ready to announce anything right now but it’s something I’m active-ly working on,” said Hubley.
Hertzberg Road will be closed for two weeks starting Jan. 31 while work is done on culverts, said Wilkinson, and the proposed widening of Kanata Avenue to Campeau Drive has been postponed.
Fernbank Road, between Terry Fox and Eagleson Road will be getting money for improvements, said Hubley, and the city will be looking at new bike paths.
$2.8 million will be put towards cy-cling initiatives in the draft budget, so staff is looking at putting new bike lanes on Richmond Road.
“I’m wondering if there’s ways we can make our current pathways and bikeways better so people can actually get from one place to another faster by bike than by car,” said Hubley.
He also said the new emergency ser-vice station opening on Iber Road in Stittsville will greatly benefi t Kanata South residents in terms of response times and available emergency work-ers.
“We’re hiring the 45 new fi refi ghters; that’s going to improve response times for Kanata South too. Iber Road will be close by to help out.”
City libraries will have “no increase in service,” said Wilkinson, who sits on the public library board. However, the Beaverbrook library is moving for-ward, and will be “a fairly sizable en-deavour.”
The city will host fi ve regional con-sultation meetings in regard to the draft budget. One is scheduled for Kanata on Feb. 23 at Holy Trinity Cath-olic High School.
There’s not a lot of cuts but there’s not a lot of increase in service.

2011: Draft budget
Draft budget holds tax increase at 2.45 per cent
LAURA MUELLER
Mayor Jim Watson tabled a city bud-get last week aimed at keeping his elec-tion promise of limiting property tax increases to 2.5 per cent.
The $2.367 billion draft city budget was presented to council on Jan. 19, and if adopted as-is, will mean a 2.45 per cent tax hike for the average hom-eowner – that’s about $75 extra on your annual bill, or $60 if you live in a rural area.
While the 2011 draft budget largely holds the line and doesn’t include many signifi cant increases or cuts, some ar-eas such as the Ottawa Police Service and transit will see changes. No new po-lice will be hired this year, and Watson hinted at possible sweeping changes to the transit network to eliminate route duplication and too many “milk runs.”
“This is a budget that allows us to live within our means,” Watson said in an interview after the budget was pre-sented.
Councillors were cautiously optimis-tic about the budget after their fi rst look at it during last Wednesday’s council meeting. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor praised the decision to split up the bud-get into different envelopes to be debat-ed by each city committee.
CONSTRUCTION IN 2011
The big news for west-end residents is
a $28 million investment in sewer back-up problems to address fl ooding – some-thing that will likely be met with a posi-tive response in places like Glen Cairn, which has been plagued by fl oods.
Construction on the Highway 417 wa-ter TransMain on Carling is expected to cost the city $33.6 million in 2011. That watermain will allow for more growth in the west end.
One of the biggest projects in the city’s outlying areas will be the exten-sion of Hunt Club Road from Russell Road to Highway 417 – A $64-million project that is slated to get underway this year.
In upcoming years, Greenbank Road will be rebuilt from Malvern to Strand-herd. That project should start this year, but most of the construction – about $20 million worth – will happen in 2013.
The three-year budget forecast in-cludes plans to invest $28.5 million in re-constructing Campeau Drive, but most of that work won’t happen until 2014.
The city will also try out its fi rst “bike box” pilot project northbound on Bay Street at Wellington. A bike box is a dif-ferent confi guration for intersections that allows cyclists to advance in front of cars with the hope of reducing cy-clist-vehicle collisions. That’s part of a $2.8-million investment in initiatives to make Ottawa more “cyclist friendly.”
Watson also highlighted a number of new initiatives.
The city will invest $15 million in a new “Service Ottawa” project to cut red
tape and make many city services, such as booking arenas or purchasing per-mits, available online.
Poverty reduction initiatives will get a $10-million infusion of cash, plus $4 million in capital for housing projects, and Watson pledged $2 million in eco-nomic development initiatives.
FINDING SAVINGS
With only a small tax increase planned, and a number of new expenses on the books, the city will fi nd the extra money in “management effi ciencies” that will save $22 million in 2011 and up to $44 million by 2014.
The city also has an extra $25 million to work with thanks to the province uploading costs associated with the On-tario Disability Support Program and Ontario Works.
Watson said he didn’t want to reduce “frontline” services that residents ex-pect the city to provide, and instead chose to make cuts behind the scenes. While departments will each get an increase this year, it just won’t be as much as they probably hoped for, Wat-son said.
Management effi ciencies will deliver some of the biggest savings, the mayor said: no raises for senior city staff, sav-ing $1.7 million, a $300,000 reduction in discretionary spending on things such as conferences and business travel and slashing the budget for consultants and legal services by $1 million.

Ensuring the best environment for elderly patients
446012
Ottawa, January 24, 2011My fi rst ski instructor was Fernand Bonnevie. I saw him at Christmas. He is 96. He doesn’t ski anymore. Even walking is too diffi cult.He gets 24-7 care from a live-in caregiver (his wife died years ago), children and grand-children. Not in a hospital or long-term care setting, but from his old house in the alpine village of Val d’Isère. Does it complicate things? To an extent, yes. He doesn’t benefi t from doctors conducting complex procedures to make it easier for him to walk. Would he prefer a long-term care space? Not a chance. From his house, he uses binoculars to spy on an Alpine Ibex who is also struggling with old age. He worries about the Ibex, but cherishes his ability to relate to the world out-side.Between advanced but invasive care and quality of life, Fernand chooses quality of life, surround-ed by the nature and people he loves.
The choice raises important questions for all health providers who care for the elderly. Are acute care hospitals a good setting for people like Fernand? Is there a better way?A consensus is emerging between hospitals, community healthcare providers, caregivers and care coordinators such as the Commu-nity Care Access Network: once they have treated seniors, acute care hospitals are not well suited to providing them the comfort, dignity and quality of life they should ex-pect. Home, where patients can enjoy the indepen-dence from which so much of their dignity de-rives, along with the company of loved ones, is better. That is why our social workers – along with our leadership and a host of other health pro-fessionals – are working with the Community Care Access Network, the Local Health Inte-gration network and other partners in health to implement Home First.Home First is a new approach to care that im-mediately starts the discussion, upon admis-sion to hospital, about the best place and op-tions available to patients and families after discharge.The approach puts every stakeholder in the system on the same page, seeking ways to re-integrate elderly patients into the community as promptly, compassionately and safely as possible.

2011: Draft budget
LAURA MUELLER
The city won’t be getting 23 new offi -cers – or a planned Ottawa south police station – in order to reduce tax increas-es.
The police service was forced to chop $6.1 million from its planned 2011 bud-get, with $2.9 million of that coming from the elimination of new spending that was expected this year.
The cuts were made to line up with city council’s orders to limit budget and tax increases to 2.5 per cent.
The police service will actually spend $9 million more this year than last year, but it’s less than the force was hoping to have in its coffers.
Cutting 23 new police offi cer posi-tions will save $800,000 this year.
The only new spending item that re-mains in the 2011 budget is additional training, but that expenditure was slashed almost in half, from $250,000 to $150,000. A project to upgrade the po-lice radio system may be delayed, but it must go ahead because all police forces in the province are required to makes the upgrades.
Trimming the budget also means that the planned Ottawa south police station near the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge
will be put off indefi nitely – it won’t be looked at again until after 2014.
The new station was intended to serve the growing south-end communities of Barrhaven, Barrhaven South, Stone-bridge, Riverside South and Manotick.
“It concerns me a great deal,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. She asked the police chief to report back on how the situation would be handled.
“First and foremost he is going to make sure our city is safe. He’s going to take care to have his offi cers in the right
place,” Harder said.She said that policing isn’t necessar-
ily about the buildings, it is about the of-fi cers that are posted in the community.
Residents can weigh in on the draft police budget Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. in the Champlain Room at city hall. Com-ments can also be made at the police services board meeting on March 7, when the board is expected to pass the budget. City council will vote to accept the police budget and the rest of the city’s budget later that day.

Councillor calls bus-route cuts ‘shifty’
LAURA MUELLER
Some city councillors aren’t happy that proposed cuts to OC Transpo routes won’t be revealed until after the city’s budget has passed in March.
A review of Ottawa’s transit system will reveal proposed changes to the sys-tem, including the elimination of routes. But while a draft version of the report is due next month, a detailed report outlin-ing specifi c routes to be cut won’t be ready until after the city’s budget is passed.
That has made some councillors, in-cluding Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess, “uncomfortable.”
“It’s almost like playing a shell game with our customers – our residents,” Bloess told fellow members of the city’s transit commission at its fi rst meeting on Jan. 20, calling the process “shifty.”
The transit commission will get an idea of potential cuts during its meeting on Feb. 16, but the full American Public Transportation Association (APTA) re-port won’t be available until its March 23 meeting – after the budget is expected to be passed on March 7.
While city staff have planned for two weeks of consultation on the proposed changes after the APTA report is released, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it is not enough.
“Once we know the ones they want to cut in our area, we’ll work with the com-munity with any additional changes that might be needed,” said Wilkinson, who also heads up the city’s transportation committee.
Transit has proved to be a contentious topic in the past, with massive public out-cry over proposed route cuts during the budget process.
Wilkinson applauded Mayor Jim Wat-son’s willingness to tackle the bloated costs of running OC Transpo.
“The transit costs are skyrocketing, we’ve got to bring them under control,” she said. “This is a wake-up call.”
After this process is done, Wilkinson said she would like to see a more all-en-compassing review of whether the tran-sit system is set up in the most effi cient way possible.
“This is a tweaking system …but is our system set up the best way it could be? Should we be taking a look at the whole system and seeing is there some way we can make it work better by adjusting al-most everything?” Wilkinson said. “It’s a big job, but it hasn’t been done in many years.”
TRANSIT FARES TO GO UP 2.5 PER CENT
A small hike in transit fares would go into effect in June if the city adopts the draft budget.
Fares have gone up 7.5 per cent in each of the past three years, Watson said, but the proposed increase this year is 2.5 per cent.
In the future, riders will be able to pur-chase fares online and through kiosks as part of the SmartCard system, but that service won’t be available until April of 2012, said Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo.
In the meantime, people can still pur-chase tickets and passes at outlets across the city, including the OC Transpo store-front at the Rideau Centre. The city’s transit commission approved a fi ve-year extension on the lease of the third-fl oor mall location, which is intended to become a “fl agship” location for OC Transpo, Mercier said.

All 850 city parks to be offi cially designated
LAURA MUELLER
More than 850 parks are set to be offi cially designated by the City of Ot-tawa as part of an attempt to shield green spaces from future claims by landowners and developers.
The city lists the parks on its web-site, but the no one seems to know exactly how many of those parks are offi cially dedicated as parkland for public use. Only about 160 parks in the former City of Ottawa were offi cially designated, said Carey Thompson, a lawyer for the city.
That uncertainty has left some com-munity groups and some on council, such as Somerset Coun. Diane Homes and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, con-cerned the parks could be vulnerable to claims from nearby landowners or development.
Holmes and Harder asked city staff to look at the policy, and last week the city’s community and protective ser-vices committee recommended a pol-icy that would see all 850 parks dedi-cated with a blanket bylaw.
Holmes was concerned about pre-venting another “Sylvia Holden Park situation,” she said. A debate over whether that park should have been included in the plan to redevelop adja-cent Lansdowne Park left the commu-nity wondering whether it would still have that green space in the future. Some said offi cially designating that park would have made it more diffi -cult to include Sylvia Holden Park in the Lansdowne plan.
But one resident who spoke at the meeting has reservations about the process. Linda Hoad, a member of the Hampton-Iona Community Group, said the plan is a step in the right di-rection, but there are huge fl aws in the process.
The information on the city’s web-site is sparse – some of the parks don’t even have municipal addresses listed. The address is an essential detail needed to connect the park to its legal description, including the dimensions and boundaries of the park.
City staff said they will meet with ward councillors to review descrip-tions of the parks in their wards and those details would be cleaned up be-fore the dedication bylaw is expected to be passed by council, after the bud-get process is completed in March.
The city could have gone through the list of parks to research and des-ignate each park individually, but that would take years and cost an estimat-
ed $100,000, Thompson said.The blanket designation would of-
fer almost as much protection, with far less cost and time commitment, he said.
But Hoad said that process doesn’t include enough research to be sure that the parks will be protected.
“It’s not the councillors’ jobs to know the limits of every park in their neighbourhoods,” she said. “There is a lot of information missing that is go-ing to make it diffi cult for the council-lors to do what is proposed.”

Police volunteer helps prevent auto theftJESSICA CUNHA
Forty-fi ve people came back to their ve-hicles in the Centrum parking lot to fi nd a warning notice about theft prevention under their windshield wipers on Jan. 9.
Kevin Heiss, the co-ordinator of the Ottawa police auto theft prevention pro-gram, handed out the warning tickets to those who left valuables visible in their vehicles – things like GPS units, wallets, cell phones and purses.
“Many people think along the lines of, ‘Well it’s only $200 if it’s stolen,’” said Heiss, who volunteers with the Ottawa police. “What they don’t think about is the cost to replace the window, insur-ance, towing and the like.”
The theft prevention program began two years ago after a rash of vehicle break-ins. Volunteers with the police force will scour parking lots for cars with unlocked doors or expensive items left in plain view – easy targets for anyone with sticky fi ngers.
“I get into the mindset of a criminal,” said Heiss, who generally works a four-hour shift once a week. “I just take a quick look; I don’t hang around too long.”
Heiss generally hits one area a week in Kanata – the Centrum and Signature Centre lots, the Hazeldean Mall, restau-rant parking lots and populated side streets are just some of the places he is-sues warnings.
He said he tries to keep an eye on prob-lem places.
THEFT PREVENTION
“We’re not actually allowed to touch the car,” said police volunteer Victor McNabney, who helped Heiss hand out warnings in the frigid weather.
The two worked in tandem, each walk-ing up and down a row of parking spots looking into the vehicles and writing the warnings.
“I’ll go through every row,” said Heiss, who studied criminology at Carleton University and Police Foundations at Al-gonquin College.
Heiss has run into a number of situ-ations while handing out the warning tickets.
“Wearing a fl orescent vest with ‘police’ on the back people automatically assume I’m with the police,” he said. He’s walked past cars with people rolling joints in-side.
“They get scared and take off pretty quick,” he said. “Even though there’s nothing I can do – I don’t have (police) privileges.”
A lot of people will come up to him to ask what he’s doing and if he’s handing out parking tickets. Generally, people are amiable when they fi nd out his purpose, but some can get nasty.
Heiss said he once had an older gentle-man get in his face about putting a warn-
ing on his car.“He was pretty angry about it,” he
said.Heiss goes out in all weather, at all
times of the year to warn people about the possible ramifi cations of leaving their car in a vulnerable position.
“It goes in spurts but I would say the summertime is the worst,” he said.
He sees a lot of half open windows “where people can just reach in and un-
lock (the car).”The theft prevention program helps
cut down on police report times, saves on insurance costs, keeps people from miss-ing work and helps them avoid towing charges – all things that can happen if a car is broken into.
For more information on the auto theft prevention program contact the Kanata community police centre at 613-236-1222 ext. 2001 or visit www.ottawapolice.ca.

Kanata entrepreneur named to Order of OntarioBLAIR EDWARDS
A Kanata entrepreneur and one of the few female CEOs of Canadian high-tech companies is one of 30 new appointees to the Order of Ontario.
Suhayya (Sue) Abu-Hakima will offi cially receive the honour from Ontario Lt.-Gov.-Gen. David Onley at a ceremony to be held at Queen’s Park on Thursday, Jan. 27.
“It’s such an honour to be rec-ognized,” said Abu-Hakima. “I was really surprised I was going to be named to the Order of On-tario – I’m proud; my family is proud.”
Abu-Hakima began her career in Nortel Labs before launching her fi rst start-up, AmikaNow! which she sold to Entrust in 2004.
Three years later, Abu-Hakima started Amika Mobile, a company that specializes in sending e-mail alerts on mobiles; as a CEO, she is responsible for creating more
than 180 jobs – 80 of them in the fi eld of artifi cial intelligence.
The Kanata Lakes woman holds degrees from McGill and Carleton universities and is an adjunct professor at the Universi-ty of Ottawa where she mentors graduate students in the fi eld of artifi cial intelligence. She holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from Carleton, specializing in artifi cial intelli-gence.
She holds 25 international pat-ents – with another six pending – in content analysis and messag-ing and has published more than 100 papers.
COMMUNITY
The golden rule for any suc-cessful entrepreneur is that they give back to their community, said Abu Hakima.
“I think it’s really important for people who are successful to serve their community,” said Abu-Hakima, who also mentors young women who work in her
company.The CEO of Amika Mobile
makes a point of speaking at schools to encourage children to enter the fi eld of science of tech-nology.
“We’ve seen the numbers of sci-ence and technology and they’re not going in,” she said.
The Kanata woman has also volunteered her time serving on the board of directors of organi-zations such as the Ottawa Cen-tre for Research and Innovation’s Ottawa Software Cluster to en-courage innovation in Ottawa’s business community.
Abu-Hakima is also a director on the board of the Ontario Cen-ters of Excellence and a member of the Private Sector Advisory Board of the National Centers of Excellence and is the chair of the board of the Centre of Excellence for Communications and Infor-mation Technology.
In 2003, Abu-Hakima was one of the contributors to the Prime Minister’s Task Force on women entrepreneurs.
RISK
Amika Mobile has developed the word’s fi rst WiFi integrated emergency mass notifi cation sys-tem – a system that delivers emer-gency alerts, such as notifi cation of a campus shooting or a warn-ing of an approaching hurricane, to a person’s smartphone, based on their location in a building.
“It’s very diffi cult to be a tech-nology founder, a CEO – you have to try to get capital; you have to build a team. You have to go out and get people to believe in your ideas,” she said. “You’re a heretic as an entrepreneur until they start seeing your product work.”
Entrepreneurs must learn to accept risk, said Abu-Hakima.
“The fi rst thing to do is deal with the fear,” she said. “Don’t be afraid.”
Next, sit down and work through your idea, said Abu-Ha-kima. Then use your network of friends, co-workers and col-leagues to help you develop the idea, she said.
Abu-Hakima credits a large part of her and her brother’s suc-cess to her parents, both profes-sors at McGill University.
“They brought us up to believe there’s no job we can’t take on,” she said.

Air cadets offers fun, challenging adventuresCadets from 872 Kanata
Kiwanis Air Cadets invite all youth between the ages of 12 and 17 to join them for fun, friendship and excite-ment.
Enrollment is ongoing and youth are eligible as soon as they turn 12 – no need to wait until Septem-ber.
Cadets that join after Jan. 31 can still participate in all upcoming events including the spring bush weekend, museum sleepover and year end activities.
Weekly meetings are held
on Wednesday evenings at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
Other regular activities include band, biathlon, ground school, drill team and toastmasters – cadets can choose the areas that interest them.
There are many opportu-nities open to 872 air cadets, including power and glider fl y days, spring and fall bush weekends, museum sleepovers, walk-a-thon, fi rst aid training and sport days. In addition to this, many 872 air cadets attend
all expense paid summer camps. Some of the cadet activities, such as parades and poppy sales, are eligible for high school community service hours.
Air cadets are a civilian organization that fosters youth leadership, physical fi tness and active citizen-ship, with the assistance of Canadian Forces personnel who are specially trained to instruct and supervise youth.
Cadets learn about fl ight (power and gliding), surviv-al, teamwork, leadership and much more while making
new friends and experiencing new, exciting and challenging ad-ventures.
Many successful Canadians such as Col. Chris Hadfi eld (fi rst Canadian astronaut to take com-mand of the International Space Station), Myriam Bedard, Capt. Marc Garneau, Rick Mercer and Jim Carey are all former cadets.
While uniforms and all of these activities are provided at no cost to cadets, they are supported by several fundraising activities, tag days and a voluntary, tax deduct-ible donation of $75 requested of all cadets who are able to pay.
If you enjoy new challenges, new friends and new experienc-es, bring a parent and join us on any Wednesday evening, visit our website www.872-squadron-rcac.ca or call 613-290-2750 for more in-formation.

There was no lack of heat at the Capital Winter Classic hockey tourna-ment as the Kanata Minor Bantam AA Blazers torched their way to a champi-onship victory on Jan. 16.
Coach Kevin MacTavish employed a “team-fi rst” mentality and defl ected all praise to the players.
“We climbed a ladder of success but we could only do it if every sin-gle player made a commitment to the team,” he said.
A perfect 6-0 record, including three victories against Toronto teams, was the result.
Defence coach Phil Morey was vocal in instilling an armoured defence wall and the team never allowed more than one goal per game.
His defence combinations displayed deft passing by Jamie Watt and Lind-say Eastwood, bone-crushing body checks by Jordan Lopez and Charles Wickham and bullet-like shooting by Ryan Eady and Gregory Wasylasko. Goaltenders Harrison Witt and Declan Morey were stellar with mind-numb-ing refl ex saves and stingy rebound control repeatedly frustrating offen-sive attacks.
Offense coach Dave Eastwood su-percharged the team in pre-game talks and relied on all three lines to produce 16 goals on the weekend.
The line of Carter Hertner, Jerry Cole and Troy MacTavish produced
highlight reel goals while the line of James O’Brien, Collin Baggio and Matthew Dick mesmerized the opposi-tion with their tic-tac-toe passing.
The line of Quinn Gordon, Jake Taylor and Nicholas Desjardins were relentless in their forecheck pursuit culminating in producing the win-ning championship goal in a 2-1 win over archrivals, the Ottawa Valley Sil-ver Seven.
The dressing room walls shook as the room rang out the song, “We are the Champions.”
Team managers were gushing with praise for the respectful and enthusi-astic support of the Blazer families and fans. Victory is sweet when every player is called upon to make a con-tribution and the players responded admirably. Minor hockey is defi nitely alive and well in Kanata.

Blazers take home second tournament win in seven days
The Kanata Minor Atom Blazers won the 53rd annual Peterbor-ough Liftlock tourna-ment, held Jan. 15 to 16.
The team lost their opener before winning four games in a row against tough compe-tition from Colbourne, Port Perry, Otonobee and Woodville. All 17 Blazers contributed to
the success with 10 dif-ferent goal scorers and strong goaltending by Jared Mullin in the semi-fi nal and Carson Norkum in the fi nal.
This past weekend, the Blazers won the seventh annual Capi-tal Winter Classic tournament with an almost perfect record with four wins and a tie.

KRSG celebrates National Gymnastics Week
National Gymnastics Week is celebrat-ed in style at the Kanata Rhythmic Gym-nastics Club.
Young recreational gymnasts at pro-grams at the Old Town Hall, Glen Cairn Community Centre and Bridlewood Com-munity School enjoyed visits to their classes from gymnasts in the advanced training program, demonstrating their new routines.
Gymnasts throughout the club cele-brated with special activities, bringing a friend along to join the fun, and received KRSG club rhythmic gymnastics wrist-bands as well. Advanced training gym-
nasts and their families enjoyed a talk from Gymnastics Canada’s technical di-rector Cathy Haines, who told the group about her experiences leading Canada’s gymnastics teams at the recent Com-monwealth Games in Delhi, India as the team leader. Haines is a former coach and president of the Kanata Rhythmic Gym-nastics Club.
Finally, the club released two videos to YouTube, giving information about the club and the sport to those interested in fi nding out more.
Visit www.youtube.com and www.krsg.org for more information.

Alkan fi rst enjoyed the play when he and his wife happened upon a perfor-mance while on a trip in Southern On-tario. They liked it so much they had a summer reading of it at their home the following summer. Now he gets the plea-sure of putting on his own version, cast-ing fi ve very talented ladies to complete the play’s all-female ensemble.
One of those ladies, KT newcomer Jenny Brooks, plays Anita, a character whose positivity appealed to the aspir-ing actress.
“She’s a loyal person, she’s ambitious, and she aspires for more out of her life. I love these kinds of qualities in a per-son,” said Brooks.
If you love strong qualities in writ-ing, you should plan to go see Jenny’s
House of Joy at the Ron Maslin Play-house.
Alkan sums it up quite nicely when he says, “As always, Norm Foster comes up with the goods.”
The play runs from Feb. 1 to 5 and from Feb. 8 to12. All shows start at 8 p.m. and tickets are $15 each. Student Rush Seats are available for $5 after 5 p.m. on the day of each performance, subject to availability of seats. A valid student pass must be presented at the box offi ce to purchase tickets.
For information on booking your tickets, please call the box-offi ce at 613-831-4435, visit the website at www.kana-tatheatre.com, or drop by the theatre at 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive in Kanata.

Norm Foster returns to KanataDWAYNE AYLWARD
When Jenny’s House of Joy be-gins its two-week run on Feb. 1, it will mark the fi fth time a Norm Foster-penned play has been per-formed by Kanata Theatre in the past six seasons.
And there’s a pretty simple rea-son why they keep bringing Can-ada’s most prolifi c playwright back: audiences just adore him.
Previous KT productions such as The Long Weekend, Here on the Flight Path and Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun performed to sell-out crowds who were in need of a good laugh and, on occasion, a good cry. And with Jenny’s House of Joy, Foster fans shouldn’t ex-pect anything less.
Set in the old “Wild West,” the story takes place in a “house of ill repute” where the establish-ment’s owner, Jenny (played by Andrea Fajrajsl), runs a tight ship – keeping a close eye on the three ladies who work for her. Things get shaken up, however, when a young runaway (Katie Buller) shows up at her door, looking for a job even though she seems far too innocent to take on one of the world’s oldest professions.
“Being inside a brothel, it’s all about the interpersonal relations among the whores. It is funny, serious, poignant, and tender all at once, and will also keep the au-dience on the edge of their seats with its tension,” said director Jon Alkan.
Jenny Brooks, Andrea Fajrajsl and Katie Buller rehearse for the upcoming Kanata Theatre production of Jenny’s House of Joy.
