Nepean ideology came out loud and clear at a de-bate between the candidates of Knoxdale-Merivale on Sept. 21.

Fred Ennis, the fi rst-ever page six columnist for the Ottawa Sun and mayoral candidate for the City of Nepean in 1997, even went so far as to register his campaign website as Nepean.com.

Whether they were on the left or right-hand side of the spectrum, all of the candidates agreed there is a lot of work to be done at city hall.

Syed Asghar Hussain said that decisions aren’t being made because there is no communication between council and city staff.

“Then council has to pay consultants to fi nd the answers,” he said.

As per the theme for the 2010 municipal elec-tion, most members of the audience wanted to see where the candidates stood on transit.

Both Keith Egli and Paul Obeda said that LRT would cut down on the operational costs of the city’s transit system.

“If we can have one driver for 400 riders instead of 40 then it will cut down on the costs,” Egli said.

James Dean supports having another look at Andy Haydon’s bus rapid transit plan.

“Andy Haydon is Nepean through and through,” he said.

He also said he supports the use of the existing rail system to build a system similar to Toronto’s GO Train.

Ennis said that the city could look at ways to keep peo-ple from needing to commute into the downtown. keep people from needing to commute into the downtown.

“100 years ago we used to walk to work,” he said. “Why waste energy on getting them somewhere when they can work from home?”

Mike Kennedy, who is a waiter at Chances R and has a background in research, said following protocol and looking at all the options is the way the city should be going.

Kennedy spent a large part of the year reading up on what he calls “municipal politics 101,” and says that the city should go back to the basics.

Al Speyers said the city is in debt and shouldn’t have to count on handouts from other levels of governments.

“I know we are a capital city and the transit is bad, but sorry folks, we are broke,” he said.

SPENDING

Rod Vanier said there needs to be a culture change at city hall.

“With my eight years on the board of the Queensway Carleton Hospital foundation’s board of directors and we would use an average system to fi nd out how the managers were performing,” Vanier said. “If they per-formed above the average of other hospitals they stayed. If it was below, they left. It’s a great system and would have a transformational effect on city hall.”

Ennis said he would do his best to use media and com-munication as a tool to increase accountability.

“I have some experience with the media and if I think there is someone doing something to the detriment of the taxpayer, they are going to be famous.”

Jules Ruhinda, who fi nanced his campaigned by sell-ing his car, said that council needs to be one voice work-

ing for the city as a whole.“I will do what I can to represent the ward as one

voice,” he said. Speyers said we need to go back to the Nepean pay as

you go model and to handle city affairs like we would our own household budgets.

LOCALLY

A development at the intersection of Baseline Road and Farlane Boulevard made the top of some people’s lists at the debate.

When the development went up, residents were prom-ised a sidewalk and now they have to brave the roadways with strollers because the sidewalk never appeared.

“That’s what I mean when I say the community needs to be more involved in the process,” O’Grady, who is an advocate of the borough council plan, said.

Ennis held an informal survey among the crowd and said that if most people wanted it done, then it would be something he would fi ght for.

Vanier said the ward ranked seventh in the city for the amount of property taxes paid and it’s time some-one brought that weight to city hall.

“Mission, vigor, resolve that’s the way to get it done,” he said. “We pay $56 million each year in property taxes, surely there is $30,000 somewhere to build a sidewalk.”

Sept. 22 was the celebration of the end of era.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Gord Hunter was honoured by the Nepean Kiwanis Club for his decades of public service for the ward and for the former City of Nepean.

Even though the event was a “roast” it was easy to see the impact the for-mer educator and politician has had on the community.

Since moving to Nepean in 1968, Hunt-er served his community as a teacher at Confederation High School for 31 years (1968-1999), and a Nepean and Re-

gional councillor for 20 years before being elected to the current amalgam-ated city council in 2000.

Hunter’s son, Phil spoke about his father from a lesser-known perspec-tive.

“I know we are supposed to get up here and make jokes, but I really re-spect my dad and I got to see another side of him,” he said. “Dad always said democracy was a gift. He is pragmatic, honest and ethical.”

Phil told a story about how he didn’t want to go to bed because he had a bad case of the hiccups.

“Dad wanted to go watch T.V. after reading me about 16 stories,” Phil said. “So he fi nished the story and turned off the lights — I was afraid of the dark — and then he came back in yelling. My hiccups were gone after that.”

When he grew up, Phil asked his dad to help him get a summer job at the Nepean Sportsplex.

“He gave me a buck and told me to take the bus to MacDonald’s and fi ll out an application,” Phil said.

After a night of speakers, the audi-ence had a picture of a dedicated fam-ily man, a great educator and a tireless public servant.

While the night had a serious mes-sage, and was a fundraiser for the cre-ation of a bursary in Hunter’s name at Algonquin College, there were still plenty of laughs to be had.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli talk-ed about how Hunter’s dedication to physical fi tness followed him to the council table.

“I sat next to Gord for 10 years at the council table and thanks to his advice I think I can safely say he is responsible for my sleek, panther-like physique,” he said.

Chiarelli made a video of a series of Hunter’s speeches over the years. Two of the highlights were talking about the dangers of amalgamation for Nepean and maligning the idea of

a downtown transit tunnel — calling it costly and ineffi cient.

“He was so right,” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder called from the audience when Hunter was on the screen talk-ing about how amalgamation would mean Nepean taxpayers paying for Ot-tawa debt.

Executive director of the Youth Ser-vices Bureau and former Kanata coun-cillor Alex Munter talked about how he met Hunter when he was the editor and publisher of the Kanata Kourier in the 80’s when Hunter ran as the fed-eral Liberal candidate in a Conserva-tive craze.

“I will say this for him,” Munter said. “He has guts.”

This year, Gord Hunter has quali-fi ed for a Rudy Award — given to those who complete a sports event in fi ve disciplines. Hunter has also com-pleted the Rideau Lakes cycling tour, a cross-country marathon, a marathon, a triathlon and an iron man.

Though it isn’t yet clear what his plans for the future are, Hunter was remembered by those whose lives he touched.

Sherry Franklin, wife of mayoral candidate Andy Haydon and for-mer wife of late Nepean mayor Ben Frankin, talked about how much Hunter meant to her family.

“When Ben was in the heart insti-tute, Gord brought a picture of him running in a school race and said ‘you have to keep in the race too,’” Frank-lin said.

Hunter was obviously touched by the words spoken in his honour and asked everyone to remember another community hero, Martin Montague — a tireless advocate of the Kiwanis Club who passed away recently.

He urged those who are running to take his place around the council table to be involved in the community.

“I congratulate you all for running and hope to be attending a roast for you in 30 years,” he said.

On the outside Chloe Carriere is like any other 13-year-old. She likes art and scrapbooking and her favourite sub-ject at her school is lunch time.

Chloe, a Grade 8 student at Franco Ouest Secondary School in Nepean, has lived with congenital scoliosis her whole life.

She went through her fi rst surgery at three.Now, every nine months she travels to Boston to get tita-

nium rods in her spine adjusted. Chloe, who was raised in Barrhaven before moving to

Stittsville a few years ago, takes in all in stride. “I am in a really bad mood for a couple of weeks after

my treatments because it is pretty painful,” she said. “And even after the pain goes away I can’t do a lot of things—like gymnastics.”

Chloe’s mom, Lise said Chloe schoolmates are pretty un-derstanding and she has always been warmed by the posi-tive response from the community.

“When Chloe went to Pierre Elliot Trudeau all the kids knew about it and they would make Chloe a card or some other present for when she got back,” Lise said.

The condition causes a curvature in the spine, which is why Chloe must continually go for treatments.

Lise said it is something you never really get used to.“It’s really hard to hand your child over and know they’re

going to be in pain,” Lise said. “As much as you trust the doctor — and I do — they aren’t you and it’s your baby.”

In 2006, the Carriere family got a well-deserved break from the routine and the medical treatments to take a trip to Walt Disney World, thanks to a gift from the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

“It was something we will never forget,” Chloe said. “It was like a dream come true. It gave us a chance to forget about the hospital and the treatments and just have fun.”

This year Chloe was the ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation’s annual Walk for Smiles on Sept. 25 at the Dow’s Lake Pavilion.

She hoped to be able to offer other children the same ray of hope she felt on her big trip.

“It was so special for us, I just want to give someone else that opportunity,” she said.

Chloe succeeded in her wish, raising around $3,000, which is the cost of a wish. She also won the walk’s top fundraising prize — garnering a trip to the Mayan Riviera courtesy of Sunquest.

Chris Baylis, Ottawa’s development coordinator for Star-light, said that this year’s walk doubled the totals from last year.

“We came in with just over $10, 000,” Baylis said. “It was an incredible day.”

The YMCA-YWCA is still accepting participants for its Strong Women program.

The program provides life-style intervention and counsel-ling for women at risk of de-veloping diabetes, arthritis or osteoporosis.

Participants are asked for a nine month commitment be-

tween September and June. Ex-ercise classes occur bi-weekly for one hour, followed by a half-hour of wellness education and lifestyle counseling. In addition, current research and guidelines are presented on topics such as heart and bone health, mental health, diabetes, nutrition, en-ergy balance and body composi-tion

The strength training com-ponent is derived from an evi-

dence-based program designed by Dr. Miriam Nelson from Tufts University, for which the Shirley E. Greenberg Women’s Health Centre became the fi rst Canadian Satellite in 2005.

After identifying their person-al areas of need, participants are encouraged to set weekly goals as part of their self-directed wellness plan. Behavior change concepts, tools and strategies are introduced to encourage the integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes for healthy living. The supportive small group set-ting provides an excellent forum to share progress, obstacles, and problem-solving strategies while offering ongoing support and encouragement.

The classes set weekly goals and we help them to put tools and strategies to integrate into their life.

“The most special part is that the women fi nd supportiveness in a small group with women who have similar issues,” Kelly Shaw Swettenham, regional di-rector for the National Capital YMCA-YWCA. “After the group was done last year they decided to develop and alumni program and keep going.”

Now there are 45 people in the main program and about 25 in the alumni.

“They are seeing changes in their mental health and physi-cal health relationships,” Shaw-Swetttenham said. “the fact that someone is waiting for them to come, makes them feel like someone is looking out for them and cares.”

Last spring, a group of “Strong Women” participated in the MDS Nordion Race Weekend.

“They fi nd there’s no limit to what they can do,” Shaw Swet-tenham said.

Residents can get fi t in the hal-lowed learned halls of Merivale High School this winter thanks to a program designed to get peo-ple walking.

The high school physical edu-cation department has teamed up with the YMCA-YWCA and the University of Ottawa’s heart institute to offer an aerobics pro-grams inside the school during the winter months.

Dubbed “Get W.I.T.H (Walking in the Halls) it,” the program will run every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.

Kelly Shaw-Swettenham, re-gional director for the National Capital YMCA-YWCA, said the program has been largely suc-cessful in areas like Arnprior

and Deep River, Ont. where there isn’t as much access to indoor physical activities.

“This is the fi rst time we are offering the program for free in the city,” Shaw-Swettenham said. “It’s really a win/win, be-cause it provides a venue for ex-ercise and a way for students to fulfi ll their volunteer hours.”

At the launch on Nov. 2 Shaw-Swettenham said there would be free T-Shirts for the fi rst 100 to turn out. There will also be pedometers on loan during the weekly exercises so people can count their steps.

The program allows partici-pants to exercise at a safe level and has progressive options to increase intensity and is a per-fect program for people looking for heart surgery aftercare in their own community.

The program is very safe, be-cause it has an emergency plan that is docu-mented and known to all ex-ercise leaders, including the requirement of current CPR cer t i f icat ion, phone access to EMS and pres-ence of an AED.

Things are looking up for the Great-er Nepean Chamber of Commerce fol-lowing a year of high staff turnover.

With the business awards coming up on Oct. 21 and the Food Extrava-ganza in the works for November, the Chamber plans to close out 2010 with a bang.

Marlene Grant, a certifi ed general accountant and member of the cham-ber, spent much of the summer work-ing on the fi nancial statements so they could be ready to present to the membership at their annual general meeting at the Stonebridge Golf and Country Club on Sept. 21.

The statements show a dip in assets of $3,119, Something Grant said was due to a lower than average amount of events last year.

“You will also see our expenses were lower for the same reason,” she said.

The chamber also voted to continue using an outside bookkeeping fi rm to do the statements. They will be using Collins Barrow, based out of Moodie Drive.

Chamber president Virginia Boro said membership is up for 2010. The membership has grown from 170 to

280 members since Soula Burrell was hired in February.

Rick Gibbons, publisher and CEO of the Ottawa Sun, was also on hand to talk to the chamber about the kick-off the United Way campaign.

Last year the campaign hit a record $32.6 million.

“I know when I fi rst started working with the United Way I was surprised

by how many people right here in our neighbourhood use the services fund-ed by the United Way,” Gibbons said.

Gibbons, who grew up in Nepean and is now living in Kanata, took over the position as chair of the board of directors this year.

The chamber will be making a dona-tion in Gibbon’s name to the Queen-sway Carleton Hospital Foundation.

A new year aheadChamber optimistic with full calendar of events

OPINION

The long gun registry and the illusion of democracyLETTER

To the editor:

It may come as some surprise, but believe it, you are not living in a democracy. Nothing exemplifi es this better than a Bill like C391, an Act to repeal the long gun regis-try. Time and time again, polls have shown a majority of Canadians support this bill, and want to see the end of this wasteful and ineffi cient system. People recognize that there is no benefi t on public safety and have relayed these facts to their elected representatives.

In a normal functioning democracy, the elected MPs would vote as their constituents instruct. But this would never happen in Canada. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is so bold as to tell Canadians that their view doesn’t mat-ter, that the only thing that matters is that his MPs vote how he tells them to. Party discipline is a prime example of the anti-democracy at place in Canada.

NDP leader Jack Layton isn’t quite as arrogant and un-constitutional as Iggy. However, a number of NDPs have switched their vote on C391 since second reading, one can only imagine what other forms of infl uence Jack Layton is exerting on them (especially since he openly supports the LG registry).

In gets better however. In Canada, it takes more than just three House and Senate votes to get a bill into law. Even after C391 passed second reading (with a major-

ity), it then moved on to the Liberal dominated standing committee on Public Safety and National Security. Can anyone hazard a guess as to what their recommendation was? The offi cial recommendation by the SECU was just as irrational as the lies being spread by Liberal MP Mark Holland, who coincidentally enough, is an active member on that committee.

And this is how politics is played in Canada. If a party leader, or MP for that matter, does not like the outcome of a vote which represents the majority of Canadians, they have numerous tools at their disposal to usurp your constitutional power. MPs do not represent their con-stituents, they represent whatever their party leader tells them to represent.

I equate the actions of these political leaders to that of a child who stomps their feet and cries because the other kids voted on a different game to play.

The real question is, when will they grow up? When will Canada become ours again? It’s time for people to wake up and realize how bad it is to have a country run by just a few people.

EDITORIAL

It’s that time of year once again. The seasons are changing from summer to fall, children and families everywhere are preparing for a fresh start to the school year, and local political lead-ers are gearing up for elections.

While there may be only one winning candi-date, and ultimately one leader responsible for making our community a better place, there are numerous youth who do just as much, if not more, without recognition. So who are these youth and where can we fi nd them? They are all over this community – volunteering with local groups, schools, churches and sports teams. It is just a matter of picking them out of the crowd.

This newspaper strongly supports the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards here in Nepean so we can provide recognition for such outstand-ing young people who are, and will continue to be, fi ne examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is co-coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which we are a member.

Any Ontario resident aged six to 17 is eligible to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. Please help us by nominating an individ-ual in one of four areas:

• A person involved in worthwhile community service.

• A special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psy-chological limitation.

• Someone who has performed an act of hero-ism in the past year.

• Young people who show a commitment to mak-ing life better for others and those who do more than is normally expected of someone their age.

Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the fi nal recipients of the provincial award and will be invited to a ceremony held in Niagara Falls in the spring of 2011. Each nominee will receive a certifi cate.

The nomination deadline for the 2010 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www.ocna.org or by calling OCNA at 905-639-8720, ext 239.

Just call me KillerDANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN

[email protected]

Growing up an avid Ottawa 67’s fan, James Duthie is well aware of Brian Kilrea’s persona around the city.

Duthie – the current host of all things hockey at TSN – got his start at CJOH in 1989 and got to meet the legendary junior hockey coach on his fi rst day on the job.

Something enamoured Kilrea to Duthie right away, and because that charm has only grown, he wanted people to know about it.

Duthie has teamed up with Kilrea to write a host of tales about one of the most storied careers in hockey history.

Kilrea will be reading from his book, They Call Me Killer, at Chances R – a restaurant he co-owns – in Nepean on Oct. 8 at 5 p.m.

“Hockey people in this country are so knowledgeable,” Duthie said. “Everyone knows Brian Kilrea. If you ask someone in the west they’ll say, ‘Well, he’s that legendary junior hockey coach.’ But they don’t know what a charac-ter he is.

“That’s another reason I wanted to share this book. He’s an Ottawa treasure and I want him to be a national trea-sure.”

A large part of the book surrounds Kilrea’s relationship with famous hockey coach and commentator Don Cherry.

The pair has been friends since 1959 when they survived hockey hell in the minor leagues with the Rochester Amer-icans as taskmaster Eddie Shore as their coach.

Kilrea and Cherry have consulted each other on a host of things over the years, in particular whether or not to take certain coaching jobs.

In Kilrea’s case, he called up Cherry to get his advice when he was considering becoming an assistant coach with the New York Islanders in 1984.

Despite Cherry’s objections, Kilrea took the position and served under the great Al Arbour for two seasons before returning to the 67’s.

“Don said, ‘No. Don’t go. You’re not an assist coach,’” Kil-rea said. “It was one of those things where you wonder if.”

Originally Kilrea didn’t have to have a book written about him, thinking that he didn’t have the same appeal of a Cherry or Bobby Orr outside of Ottawa.

But once his arm was twisted enough give the book the go-ahead, Kilrea vowed two things. One that he would exag-gerate any of his tales, and two, that any proceeds that he

would get would go to the children’s centre at the Children Hospital of Eastern Ontario that bears his name.

“That just more speaks to the way Killer is,” Duthie said, adding he considers the book to be a “barstool-type book” since that’s the location where Kilrea’s at his fi nest form.

“The best comparison I have to him as a character would be Don Cherry. He has just as many good stories as Don Cherry. In fact, if he was more outspoken, more colourful, more of a salesman the way that Grapes is, I think he’d be almost as big in this country as Grapes would be.”

While Kilrea retired from coaching the 67’s after the 2008-09 season, he still serves as their general manager, role he said he while re-evaluate after each year.

Since Kilrea decided his book to his players, he admitted he does miss some parts of coaching.

But as for some the long bus trips, the 75-year-old is glad they’re behind him.

“When I watch our (road) games on T.V., and that game’s over at 10-o’clock, it’s nice to know I can take about 10 steps from the T.V. and go to bed,” he said. “I don’t miss the (trav-el) after the game.”

From the private collectionof Brian Kilrea from the 1989 sea-son.

STAFFCraig MacAulay, a re-

tired teacher and presi-dent of the Lynwood Village community as-sociation, says he’s not

satisfi ed with incumbent councillor Rick Chiarelli’s performance.

MacAulay said that he feels Bells Corners is un-der-represented in the

ward and wants to de-amalgamate from the City of Ottawa, calling it some-thing like Nepean 2.0.

MacAulay said he doesn’t expect to get elect-ed, but that he didn’t think any of the other candidates would make it against the incumbent either.

“Things have to change,” he said.

MacAulsy said that he wants tax revenue to be spent more effi ciently, and the tax burden to be spread more fairly, with regard given to low-income and fi xed-income residents.

He also said the city needs to fi nd a balance, but defi nitely wants no expansion of the urban boundary and the result-ing sprawl.

Excitement aplenty as fi ve-year-old prepares for fi rst day on the ice

DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN

[email protected]

Like a young child counting down the days to Christmas morning, Gabe Kings-bury was nearly bouncing off the walls the night before his fi rst day playing or-ganized hockey.

The fi ve-year-old just couldn’t sit still. Sure he’s played lacrosse, and even skat-ed on his ringette team, but this was dif-ferent. This is hockey.

While climbing atop the family’s kitch-en counters of their West Barrhaven home, retelling stores of road hockey glo-ry, Gabe said he couldn’t wait to put the puck in the back of the net at the Nepean Minor Hockey Association’s sort-out day the next afternoon, Sept. 25.

“It’s my thing,” he said, while fl ashing a trademark hockey smile with a missing front baby tooth that was knocked out during one of his street battles.

Although Gabe doesn’t have a favourite player yet, the missing tooth and shaggy hair draws a resemblance to Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin, and he just might play like him.

His father, Mark, knows Gabe will en-joy hitting the ice because of his aggres-sive, fi ery nature.

“He’s my physical one,” Mark said. “They say piss and vinegar, well that’s him. He’s a little fi reball. He takes after his mother with all that energy.”

In addition to the driveway games, Gabe plays mini-sticks in the family’s basement regularly with older brothers Jack, 8, and Matthew, 14, even challeng-ing some of Matthew’s friends physically

and gaining their admiration.He takes his licks, but keeps on going,

and isn’t afraid to tell you about it when he succeeds – especially those times he’s able to deke out his eldest brother, who is almost 10 years his senior.

“He goes this way,” he says pointing to the right, “and I go that way.”

An action that his parents are used to. A typical busy hockey family, both Kings-bury adults are directors in the associa-tion – Mark at the bantam level and wife, Nicole, organizes the novices – and Mark will also coach Jack this season after fi ve years of instructing Matthew.

Especially in the early stages of the season, the couple basically live at the rink on weekends. On Sept. 25, Nicole left the house at 5 a.m., while Mark was left to shuttle back and forth until the ban-tams got off the ice at 10 p.m.

“That’s our lives right now,” Mark said, who works at the city’s water depart-ment. “The fi rst three weeks, we don’t see each other much.”

Gabe’s excitement didn’t subside over-night. Half an hour before leaving for the Merivale Arena, he was all prepared with his favourite red undershirt on.

“It helps me skate fast,” the Monsignor Paul Baxter School kindergarten student said, before running around the family’s spacious living room.

Minutes later, Mark hustles Jack, Gabe, and 11-month-old Ben into his mini-van and, after a stop at Tim Horton’s for doughnuts and chocolate milk, arrived at the arena with plenty of time to grab a sweater and get suited up.

The pint-sized warrior was a little ner-vous before stepping onto the ice, but got some words of encouragement from big brother Jack at the corridor.

As the Zamboni exits the ice, and the door opens to let the players out, Gabe, not surprisingly, emerges fi rst.

He takes a tumble, but is back on his

feet almost instantly and begins whip-ping around the ice smiling and occa-sionally waving.

“I was happy with him,” Mark said. “He was skating really hard out there. He lost a couple edges, but I’ll get his skates sharpened.”

It’s not hard to pick Gabe out of the 30-odd players on the ice.

Not only is his helmet full of stickers he’s accumulated from power-skating lessons – making Gabe one of the faster skaters on the ice – but his stick is deco-rated with skull and cross bone hockey tape.

Although the purpose of the day was to give the coaches a vague idea of play-ers’ skill levels so they could be separated into balanced teams before the fi rst game of the season on Oct. 2, because children

can be transferred up until the New Year, no one took things too seriously.

Players went the wrong way during drills and didn’t even use pucks.

Gabe didn’t seem to mind. He knows he’s got some more time to hone his skills in the driveway if he wants to. The youngster was more than happy to catch one of the coaches during a game at the end of practice.

“It was really fun,” he said in the midst of feverishly ripping off his gear. “We even got to play tag at the end.

“It’s really going to be fun next time. I’m going to be put on a team.”

Besides, forget about the lack of pucks. Gabe had more pressing concerns on his mind relating to his hockey experience.

“Did I work hard enough to get another doughnut?” Gabe asked his father.

Chomping at the bit

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli is run-ning this campaign on the strength of his accomplishments.

“With more than half of the city’s capi-tal projects happening in the ward this year, I think we have a lot to congratulate ourselves for,” he said.

Chiarelli also said he wants to continue to offer a solid voice of reason at city hall and to continue to take a leadership role on initiatives that benefi t the city as a whole.

“With about a quarter of councillors not seeking re-election to their seats, we are guaranteed signifi cant change around the council table. The next term could bring a change in the balance of power on many issues and this represents a great opportunity to creatively solve some of our long term issues and then to sharpen the focus of our fi nancial plan to one that includes many of the principles of the old Nepean Pay-As-You-Go philosophy.”

Chiarelli said he has also succeeded where others have not through the forma-tion of a Bells Corners Business Improve-ment Area which will play a crucial role as he seeks to complete the changes he and the community have mapped out for the area, an area that only fell within his jurisdiction after the most recent munici-

pal election. As well, his work with staff and the community to produce a creative solution to the Qualicum-Graham Park community building/park decontamina-tion issue serves as an excellent example of turning a potential array of setbacks for the community into a collection of welcome and positive improvements.

Chiarelli completed three terms on Ne-pean city council where he also served as acting mayor. As a member of Nepean’s general policy and administration com-mittee, he helped freeze or cut taxes for seven consecutive years.

With the impending departure of last season’s leading scorer Andrew Calof to Princeton University heading into the 2010-11 CHL season, the Nepean Raiders were counting on Brent Norris to pro-duce more offensively.

He hasn’t disappointed.The centreman was the catalyst in a

5-3 win over the Kanata Stallions at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Sept. 24, scoring a hat trick including the game winner midway through the third pe-riod.

On the play, captain Craig Cowie stole the puck away from fallen Stallions blue-liner Tim Kavanaugh behind the net, then centred the puck through a maze of sticks and skates to a wide-open Norris.

All he had to do was hit the empty net.“You feed an open guy and 95 per cent

of the time he’s going to score,” Cowie said, “especially win Norris.”

“He’s one of the smartest guys in the league,” Norris said of Cowie. “That’s probably one of the easiest ones I’m go-ing to get.”

The 17-year-old also added a goal in the Raiders’ 4-1 win over the Kemptville 73’s on Sept. 22 and two markers in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Brockville Braves on Sept. 26 to close out an impressive week with six goals to go along with one as-sist.

Cowie then added an insurance mark-er two minutes later when he corralled a puck from Stallions defenceman Carl-Philippe Ouimet and fi red a slap shot past Matt Couvrette.

“We we’re playing our best hockey the fi rst two periods,” Cowie said, who fi n-ished the game with three points. “But we knew if we won a period, we won a game.”

Michael Evelyn scored the other goal for the Raiders. Ouimet, Brent Bisdee, and Spencer Cobbold replied for Kanata.

Dan Altshuller got the win for the Raid-ers, making 30 saves.

The loss was more of the same for the Stallions in the early going of the sea-son as they continue to fi nd ways to lose games in the third period.

The two late goals against the Raiders mirrored the Stallions’ opening-game de-feat at the hands of the Kemptville 73’s where they allowed three goals in the fi -nal frame to lose 4-3.

Head coach Adam Dewan wasn’t dis-appointed with the defeat to the Raiders though.

He said his team was right in the game the whole way and chalked the last two goals to a couple bad bounces.

“I thought it was a good game,” Dewan said. “We played well. I’m happy with how they played compared to their two prior games.”

The Stallions were coming off two blow-out losses to the Hawkesbury Hawks

– 7-2 on Sept. 21 – and the Carleton Place – 8-2 on Sept. 14.

After their loss to the Raiders, the Stal-lions remained winless, but eventually recorded their fi rst victory of the season with a 6-3 win over the Carleton Place Ca-nadians on Sept. 26.

Thanks largely to Norris’s contribu-tions, the Raiders are now 4-1-3 and in second place in the CHL.

Norris now sits second in league scor-ing through Sept. 27 with 12 points, 10 of them goals.

Notes: The Raiders played both the

games against Kanata and Brockville without the services of super pest and as-sistant captain Cole Weedmark. He sus-tained a high-ankle sprain injury against Kemptville and is listed as day to day.

Raider of the game: While Craig Cow-ie’s contributions cannot be overlooked – one goal, two assists, and some excel-lent work on the forecheck – it’s hard to vote against someone who records a hat trick. Brent Norris was simply excellent offensively, creating chances almost ev-ery time he gained entry into the Stal-lions’ zone.

Premier Dalton McGuinty toured the new music pro-duction studio classroom at Algonquin College on Sept. 24. The classroom is funded in part through the On-

tario government’s College Equipment Renewal Fund (CERF). As part of the tour of this leading-edge facil-ity, Premier McGuinty was presented with the studio’s fi rst platinum album to recognize his commitment and investment to in education in Ontario.

This music production studio, toured by the Premier, would not have been possible without the College Equip-ment Renewal Fund. This year, Algonquin received $698,400 in CERF funding and over past three years the Provincial Government has invested over $4 million in

Algonquin College to renew educa-tion-related equipment.

The investment has been used to purchase instructional equip-ment and learning resources across every school of the College. Computers, specialized software, eClassrooms, lab and shop equip-ment need to be updated regularly to provide students with training that meets current business and industry standards.

“Premier McGuinty’s govern-ment continues to deliver on their promise to move education up the province’s priority list,” says Gil-lett. “We would like to thank the Premier for his attention to the unique issues we face at Ontario Colleges and we look forward to his ongoing leadership on this front.”

“We are committed to ensuring that every Algonquin student uses the latest tools and technologies in their respective fi elds. It is a key part of the Algonquin Experience and a major reason why the hands-on applied learning we are known for across the country is in such high demand,” added President Gillett.

Residents may experience water pressure that is slightly higher or lower than normal as a result of planned maintenance activities at both of the City of Ottawa’s water production plants (Lemieux Island and Britannia water purifi cation plants) dur-ing the week of Sept. 27 to Oct. 1, 2010.

The maintenance activities will allow the City to accommodate the Ministry of Transportation repairs to the overpass near Car-ling and Kirkwood avenues, and mitigate their potential impact on the water distribution system.

The possible effects, which will be temporary, are as follows:

• The area north of Baseline Road, west of the Rideau River and east of Moodie Drive may experience higher than normal pressure.

• The area east of the Rideau River, south of the 417 and north of Leitrim Road may experience lower than normal pressure.

Please note that these activities will not impact the quality of the drinking water.
