BIA plans Bells Corners’ facelift

Margaret Sambol margaret.sambol@

nepeanthisweek.com

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli wants Bells Corners to be a place people drive to, rather than through.

The marketing, beautification and other improvements required to meet that goal could be get-ting underway soon, now that City council unanimously approved the creation of a Bells Corners Business Improvement Area (BIA) on Oct. 14.

“It’s a really exciting develop-ment for Bells Corners,” Chiarelli says. “I’ve lived there a long time and I will finally get to address some of my personal pet peeves.”

The BIA would levy local busi-nesses to pay for area improve-ments, so businesses have a say in whether the BIA goes forward.

Now that council has approved the intention to designate the area, a notice will be sent out to all prop-erty owners, who must share it with all tenants who are required to pay all or part of the property taxes within 30 days.

In order to defeat the bylaw, one-third or more of the businesses responsible for at least one-third of the property tax in the BIA would have to object.

The City conducted a survey of area business indicating that almost 80 per cent supported the creation

of the BIA. The BIA’s steering committee

will become its first board of direc-tors and develop a budget and busi-ness plan to launch in 2010. As the councillor for the area, Chiarelli would sit on the BIA.

“It’s going to unify the business owners,” says Mark Kosmos, a for-mer CFL player and co-owner of Local Heroes restaurant in Bells Corners, who is the part of the BIA steering committee.

While some businesses might be concerned about paying a new levy during a recession, Kosmos is hop-ing to draw on the success of other BIAs in the city to convince people that it will be good for business in the long run.

Chiarelli says the BIA would mean exciting changes for Bells Corners.

“The changes will be signifi-cant,” Chiarelli says. “The changes will attract businesses and people to Bells Corners.”

He notes that Bells Corners is already beginning a revitalization with a Holiday Inn going in where the Burger King used to be, and another hotel on the verge of com-mitting to building in the area.

The BIA would address the empty, dilapidated buildings in Bells Corners such as the former Hooters and the Vox building.

Construction centre underwayThis Week staff

Six hundred construction trades students will be studying in a new state-of-the-art $77-million Centre for Construction Excellence in the fall of 2011. The Algonquin College building got its official start on Oct. 16 when politicians and college officials attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

The building, located on the west side of Woodroffe Avenue will connect to the main campus

with a pedestrian overpass and will be integrated with the City’s new Baseline transit station.

“This new facility will not only help to address the skills short-age in the construction industry, it will be a showcase of green con-struction and training in Eastern Ontario,” says Algonquin College president Robert Gillett.

The bui lding was funded through $35 million each from the federal and provincial gov-ernments, with a $2-million land

donation from the City of Ottawa, and a $7-million fundraising goal from private industry. That campaign got a boost last week, when Minto Group CEO Roger Greenberg donated $1 million.

The 26,000-square metre build-ing will be built to a LEED-plati-num standard, meaning it meets environmentally sustainable prac-tices. The design for the building includes the largest “green roof” in Ottawa where vegetation will grow on the roof.

Deslauriers student Melissa Hanson hangs out with CHEO’s mascot before the run she set up as a fundraiser for the hospital’s pain clinic on Oct. 17. For the full story, see page 3.

With nearly one-third of the city’s population resid-ing in its catchment area, the executive of the Nepean,

R i d e a u a n d O s g o o d e Community Resource Centre (NROCRC) announced a plan to go out into the com-munities it serves.

The centre serves more than 20,000 residents and has the largest physical

boundaries of any of the city’s community resource centres.

At its annual general meet-ing on Oct. 15. the board announced that it would be mirroring the work of the new satellite health centre in Barrhaven.

“ I n t h a t c a s e , w e worked with the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre to identify the

needs of the community,” NROCRC executive director Howard Kravitz said. “With so many people in our catch-ment area, we want to move out into the communities and learn from the different service providers what their needs are.”

Board president Dora Brown said she thinks the new model will work to address the needs of more of the residents in the catch-ment.

“We serve young people and old and their needs are not always the same,” she

said. “And we serve both the urban and the rural areas, and their needs are not always the same.”

From a youth drop-in centre opened this sum-mer in Metcalfe, to the new health centre in Barrhaven, NROCRC will be moving out to the communities it serves.

Right now there are two staff being made available for the health centre and Kravitz said there are plans to move staff from their home in the Merivale Mall out into the communities.

The meeting was also a time to celebrate the many successes of the centre over the past year.

“One of the most signifi-cant this year was the work we did helping people during the bus strike,” Brown said. “It was just as bad as the ice storm in the late 90s.”

The focus for the year has been on seniors, youth, men-tal health, employment and the new satellite health cen-tre.

“Going into our 20th year, we have a lot to be proud of,” Kravitz said.

For 15-year-old École Secondaire Publique Deslauriers student Melissa Hanson, pain has become a part of her life.

Melissa has been living with chronic stom-ach pain for the last three years. In Grade 8 she had to miss 40 days of school and she nearly missed all of Grade 9.

“It’s just like someone is stabbing you in the stomach over and over again,” she said, smiling now that with the help of the pain clinic at CHEO she has managed to get it under control. “It was trial and error with meds for a long time, probably more error.”

Since getting into the clinic a year ago, Melissa has changed her diet and been visit-ing an acupuncturist, but the wait to get seen by the pain clinic team can take a year.

The team includes a anesthesiologist, a psychiatrist and a psychologist, who see patients once a month after they make it to the top of the list.

“It’s a really long waiting list, and for kids that are in constant pain, a year is a really long time,” she said.

Rather than get discouraged by her ordeal, Melissa said she wants to be a pediatrician when she grows up. And with her fundraiser at her school on Oct. 17, she wanted to give back to the hospital that has showed her a way to live comfortably.

“If you had asked me a couple of years ago, I would have laughed if you told me I would want to be a doctor,” she said. “I hated science but I want to help kids like me.”

The fundraiser was a run at the schools track where participants could pledge to raise

money for the clinic.After two lunch-hour volunteer drives,

Melissa had gathered 60 of her schoolmates and she had hoped to raise $500.

At the start of the day on Oct. 17, they had already reached $200.

“It’s not much, but maybe we can get $1,000,” Ginette Bourgeois, Melissa’s moth-er said.

Bourgeois said she is very proud of her daughter for coming through so much at such a young age.

“For the most part, she has been very posi-tive,” Bourgeois said. “But once or twice, she told me, ‘Mom, if this is going to be my life. Let me die.’”

Bourgeois, who works for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, said the not knowing is sometimes the hardest part of her daughter’s illness.

“When she first got sick, most of the doc-tors said she was imagining it, or it was nerves,” Bourgeois said.

The pair ended up in CHEO’s emergency so many times, that they would plan when there was likely to be less traffic.

“If you go at 4 a.m., no one is there,” Bourgeois said.

Pain is something Melissa will always live with, but with the help of the team at the pain clinic, she has learned to minimize the occurrences and get back to life.

“We think it is really important to raise awareness because there are no support sys-tems out there,” she said.

CORRECTIONAn article appearing in the Aug. 20 issue of Nepean-

Barrhaven This Week contained inaccuracies. The article was discussing the inspiration for artist Erin Robertson’s piece Night Patrol, which will be installed at the Ottawa Police’s new west division headquarters on Huntmar Drive. Robertson researched the piece during a ride-along with a police officer. During that ride-along she witnessed an encounter with a young man who was drunk and upset because the mother of his child wouldn’t let him see the child. In frustration, the man smashed a window cutting his arm. The inci-dent was incorrectly described in the original article.

The article also described the artwork as a mosaic, however it will in fact be a high gloss acrylic and resin painting based on photographs that Robertson took of a patrol car on a rainy night. The work will be on 16 four-by-eight-foot panels.

West-end musician hits high note

Transit riders in Crystal Beach feel left out in the cold thanks to a City decision to remove three stops along Holly Acres road from the 166 route going into the Bayshore transit station.

According to a city spokesperson, the two stops along Holly Acres were removed as part of the Bayshore redesign package. The one stop near the on-ramp to the west-bound Hwy. 416 was removed because of safety concerns from the Ministry of Transportation. Staff did con-firm that the safety concerns were due to projected traffic volumes that never materialized so the City has made a request to have the stop reinstated.

“We were never told that they would be taking the stops away,” Crystal Beach-Lakeview Community Association president Ruth Tremblay said. “I don’t think it is too much to ask that we be con-sulted as they make changes to the routes that we use.”

No stops here

“We will have the ‘Great Sledgehammer Party’ of the decade,” Chiarelli says.

Chiarelli also wants to address the confusing issue of the street name changes in Bells Corners so people can find busi-nesses more easily.

“We’re looking at hav-ing one street name all the way through,” he says.

Kosmos is also inter-ested in slowing traffic down and addressing parking issues to make it easier for people to stop and shop.

Instead of spending $100,000 on a gateway

to indicate people are entering Bells Corners like other BIAs, Chiarelli wants to use murals on the existing railway over-passes on either end of the area. The BIA would also be responsible for beautification projects such as planting flowers.

Another idea is to get the hotels in Bells Corners to take part in a bike share program so visitors could sign out a bicycle for free and explore the Greenbelt paths in the area.

Chiarelli would also like to get the local senior residences involved in establishing Ontario’s first Candy Cane Festival, hopefully for December 2010.

Council approves rezoning of Baseline Road property City of Ottawa

On Oct. 14, City Council approved the rezoning of 1357 Baseline Rd. from its current status of minor institutional subzone to an arterial main street zone.

The new designation permits the developer, SmartCentres, to build a retail centre on the site of the former Laurentian High School along Baseline Road and Clyde

Avenue. In addition to the retail space, office space is planned for the property. Residential develop-ment will also be permitted and may be introduced as part of the overall development. The amount of surface parking that can be pro-vided is capped at 750 spaces.

Council also mandated that a full community meeting - involv-ing the developer, residents of the Copeland Park, City View and

Central Park communities, the ward councillors representing these communities and the City’s plan-

ning staff - take place prior to any site plan being approved.

The owner of the land must also

not object to the formation of a Business Improvement Area for the Merivale commercial corridor.

The Royal Canadian Legion is once again hosting the annual post-er and literacy contest. The contest was established to foster the under-standing of the sacrifices made by many young men and women in the First World War, Second World War and the Korean War.

The contest is held each year and welcomes all Canadian students to enter. It is divided into four differ-ent categories primary (grades 1 to 3), junior (grades 4 to 6), inter-mediate (grades 7 to 9), and senior (grades 10 to 12). The contest theme is remembrance.

All students have the option of entering three categories: posters, poems or essays. The poster contest is divided into two different catego-

ries black and white or colour.“The primary goal of this contest

is to support our veterans and their dependents, and also to support Canada and the community we live in and to foster a spirit of remem-brance,” said John O’Halloran, youth education officer with the Barrhaven Legion branch 641.

O’Halloran has already sent out the information to 22 schools in the Barrhaven region. He hopes to capture the attention of teachers to take leadership and get their stu-dents involved in this contest.

Winners at the branch level can go on to compete at the zone, dis-trict, provincial and national levels. Cash prizes are awarded at each level. The deadline for entries is Nov. 12. For more information you may contact O’Halloran at 613-723-8987 or ohallbj@rogers.com.

Nepean artist Helen Stone has been work-ing with pottery for 15 years, but the inspi-ration for her first series of sculpture came from one unexpected moment of beauty.

“It just hit me like a ton of bricks,” Stone says. “It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.”

Stone was reading at the National Archives on a winter day when she looked out the window and saw a gorgeous tree in a state of decay falling into the frozen Ottawa River. She immediately started drawing for a series of clay sculptures to capture the essence of that tree. That series is now on display at the Atrium Gallery in Nepean until Oct. 28.

Other works in the series are inspired by trees along the Ottawa River Parkway, wind and clouds, but nature is a theme through the exhibit.

“This one as a tender tree; embracing and sheltering,” Stone says, pointing to different pieces in the exhibit. “This one is a fallen tree: it speaks about relationships and is a metaphor for life.”

Stone used different techniques for each of the works. For example, her piece, Meditation, features three curving shapes, each with a different finish. They were all fired to 1,000 degrees Celsius in a Raku kiln, but then subjected to different processes to achieve the end result. For example, one was covered in sawdust in an oxygen-free envi-ronment which resulted in a black sheen.

Another piece called Tree was sprayed with ferric chloride while still hot, then cov-ered in a water-soaked cloth. The result is a

beautiful rust colour with fine cracks in the surface.

“It’s a lot about chemistry,” Stone explains. “The colours don’t look like they will after they are fired.”

Stone is mostly self-taught and has learned through experimentation.

“The next day I looked and saw what I had – it was like a present,” Stone says about one piece where she experimented with cop-per sulfate and sawdust.

Stone is already working furiously on another series of sculpture based on the female form.

The Atrium Gallery is located 101 Centrepointe Dr. in Ben Franklin Place. For more on Stone, visit www.helenestone.com.

Twenty-five Algonquin Col lege s tuden ts have walked a mile in the shoes of the people they will even-tually serve in their careers, after participating in the fifth annual 24 Hours of Homelessness project.

The second-year students are in the community and justice services program at Algonquin College and hope to find work in social servic-es, community work, shelters or youth services.

They spent the night in Minto Park in downtown Ottawa on Friday, Oct. 16.

“It’s very eye opening to see what homeless youth go through everyday,” says Algonquin College student and media spokesperson for the project, Stephanie Blakely.

Even though the students were only on the streets for 24 hours, they experienced some rudeness from people walking by.

“We had people say ‘get a job’ and someone threw a bunch of pennies at us,” Blakely says.

The project was extracur-

ricular to the program. “Our professors teach us

to get out in the community. It helps us better serve our clients to see what they go through,” Blakely says.

The students were also collecting donations for Operation Come Home, for-merly known as Operation Go Home. The charity works to help street youth come home. The donations also

supported a program-specific bursary to help students in financial difficulty continue to study.

Blakely says the biggest surprise of the day was the generosity of some people in giving donations.

“You don’t expect people to take out their wallet and give a $20 bill, but we had that happen a few times,” Blakely says.

9 EditorialBells Corners needs to be revitalized

Bells Corners has a reputation it doesn’t quite deserve.

People drive through Bells Corners and see a few boarded up shops and maybe get the incorrect impression that the area is run-down.

People start looking to shop elsewhere. The cumulative effect can become a down-ward spiral.

Now Bells Corners businesses have a chance to turn the situation around.

Last week, City council approved the creation of a Bells Corners Business Improvement Area. Businesses located with-in this area will be levied and the funds will be used to collectively improve the area so everyone’s business benefits.

The BIA has plans that will make it a lot easier to stop and shop in Bells Corners, including adjusting the street names so one can find addresses easier, attracting new businesses and addresssing the dilapidated

buildings on the strip. As well, the BIA has plans to beautify and

market the area. However, the BIA is not a done deal. If

enough businesses object to it, it could still be cancelled.

We recognize that it is scary to agree to pay an additional levy when times are already tough and we’re in the middle of a recession.

However, the benefits of bringing people

and business to Bells Corners will be well worth the money.

Businesses, don’t not let timidity stand in the way of progress.

The Bells Corners BIA is a safe bet.

While Jim Watson hasn’t yet decided what he wants to do in the future, he celebrated his past on Oct. 15.

Watson has served 15 years in office including nine years as a councillor and mayor in pre-amal-gamation Ottawa and six years as an MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean.

The event last Thursday at the Marconi Centre was also a fund-raiser to benefit Project STEP, Ottawa’s youth drug rehabilitation centre.

JOURNALISMWatson got his first taste of poli-

tics while studying journalism at Carleton University when he was elected president of the Carleton Residence Association.

Residence also gave Watson his strongly-held opinion that politi-cians ought to be out in the com-munity between elections.

He remembers candidates in the 1980 municipal election visiting the campus to try to get the student vote. Two years later in the 1982 municipal election, the politicians came back, but hadn’t visited in the intervening time.

“Whether its securing funds for summer jobs for students, fixing

sidewalks or attending a 100th birthday party, these things are important,” Watson says.

COUNCILLORWatson first got interested in

politics back in 1989 when he bought his first house and got his first property tax bill.

“I thought it was high for a small house,” Watson says. “I started reading the local sec t ion of the newspaper.”Watson would talk to his friends about taxes increasing beyond the rate of inflation and his friends encouraged him to run for office.

MAYORWatson’s time as a councillor

got him hooked on politics as a career where he could actually help people.

His mayoral office had a big sign saying ‘how many people have we helped today?’ to remind himself and his staff that they are in the “helping business.”

However, he self-imposed a two-term limit as councillor, so after six years he made the decision to run for mayor.

“I thought I could offer continu-ity of the fiscal plan I’d helped the city adopt as a councillor,” Watson says.

During his time as mayor, Ottawa was preparing for amalga-mation.

“Not everyone supported amal-gamation, but we had to work together,” Watson says.

Mary Pitt, who was the mayor of Nepean when Watson was the mayor of Ottawa, says he was always good to work with.

Although she knew of him as a councillor when she was working for Ben Franklin in Nepean, they first met at an interview at CJOH on being elected mayors.

“We became instant friends,” Pitt says. “Even though we were on opposite sides of the fence when it came to amalgamation, we always understood each other’s feelings.”

In fact, Pitt says they remain friends to this day and gather three to four times a year with other for-mer mayors to sing at seniors’ resi-dences with their group, the Old Grey Mayors.

“He’s a perfect gentleman,” Pitt says. “I always enjoyed working with him.”

BRIDGEAfter nine years on council and

amalgamation of Ottawa into the

large city it is today, Watson says he was looking for a new chal-lenge.

“I needed to branch out and try new things in the broader commu-nity,” he says.

He decided not to run for mayor of the new city and instead took an offer to become the president of a new Crown corporation, the Canadian Tourism Commission.

Watson says the job made him a better MPP by giving him a global view and experience with public-private partnerships.

MPP Watson decided to run for pro-

vincial parliament in 2003 based on the frustration he experienced with downloading from the Ontario government during his time as councillor and mayor.

Watson was the first ever health promotion minister before getting the municipal affairs and housing portfolio in cabinet.

Because of his municipal back-ground, his latest posting is a great fit for Watson.

“It gives me greater creditability that I’ve walked a mile in a munici-pal politician’s shoes,” he says.

He’s happy to see the province’s plan for uploading costs such as the Ontario Drug Plan, Ontario Disability Support Program, wel-fare and court security.

THE FUTUREWatson has been rumoured to be

a front-runner in the 2010 mayoral election in Ottawa, but so far has said that he’s happy in his current position.

When asked if he would again self-impose a two-term limit as MPP, Watson said he hadn’t made his mind up yet.

“If I don’t enjoy getting up in the morning and going to work, it’s time to move on,” he says.

He says he will take the next few months to consider what’s in the best interest of the community and his own best interest.

“When I am finished in politics, I hope to leave the community in better shape than when I found it,” he says.

Barrhaven remembersSelene Leclaire

Co-op studentWith Remembrance Day right around the

corner, the annual Barrhaven Remembrance Day parade is quickly approaching as well.

This year’s parade is being held by the Royal Canadian Legion Barrhaven Branch 641.

The event will take place at the Walter Baker Sports Centre at 100 Malvern Dr. in Barrhaven. The event begins at 10:45 a.m. and a moment of silence will be observed at 11 a.m. After the parade there will be a meet and greet including complimentary beverag-es until 3 p.m. at halls A and B of the Walter Baker Sports Centre and at the legion branch at 3023 Cedarview Dr.

The general public and school children are encouraged to attend this event.

“Once you’ve attended one, you will want to come back more often because you really get caught up in the emotion of the occasion at the ceremony. You see all of the service men and all your neighbours; it is absolutely splendid and you realize how many of your community members are in the forces and are doing wonderful things for the country,” said Debi Sereda, chair of the public rela-tions committee of the Barrhaven Legion. “It is important for the schools and the students to understand the sacrifices the vets made and the grandfathers and fathers have made.”

This event gives true insight of the honour and respect deserved to those who have gone before us and those who are fighting in wars for us now in the name of Canada.

For more information, visit www.rcl641.ca.

Program pairs vets with dining partnersSelene Leclaire

Co-op student

Nepean residents can open their hearts and welcome a veteran to attend the second annual “Take a Veteran to Dinner Night.”

“It’s a chance for people to connect around an issue that is pretty important to honouring the efforts and sacrifices of those who are serving and have served,” said Tobin Kelly the organizing committee chairperson.

This event allows people a chance to connect with others in the community who have served in the Canadian Forces, through sharing stories. It will also allow those who haven’t served to give thanks.

Kelly notes that it is not easy to just rec-

ognize someone out of the blue. This event gives people an opportunity to connect with veterans.

The hosts can treat veterans to cocktails, a lovely dinner, a toast and then a guest speak-er. Door prizes will be awarded throughout the evening.

Last year had a great first year turnout with a positive outcome. There was just a group of people getting to know each other and filling the room with warmth.

This event will take place on Nov. 7, at 5 p.m. at Tudor Hall located at 3750 Bowesville Rd. Tickets are on sale for $50 and can be purchased by calling 613-239-4035. For further information call Kelly at 613-680-5486.

Learn history during Holocaust Education WeekBen Godby

The Jewish Federation of Ottawa is facilitating the production of several events for Holocaust Education Week, which runs from Nov. 9 to 15.

The week will include a theatrical play and a museum exhibit featuring the story of Dr. Janusz Korczak, a Polish educa-tor and physician who perished in the Holocaust. These events are being pro-duced by the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama (OSSD) in partnership with the Great Canadian Theatre Company.

Korczak, a Polish educator and physi-cian, devoted his life to children. He ran an orphanage based on a unique concep-tion of the rights of children: the orphan-age was treated as a democracy and each child as a citizen. His revolution-ary ideas about the rights of children are now incorporated in the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Because of this democratic approach to children’s rights, the play being per-formed about Korczak is called The Children’s Republic. It is a completely new play, written by Hannah Moscovitch. It will be performed by the OSSD and the GCTC, and debut during Holocaust

Education Week.The play was inspired by the experi-

ences of Leon Gluzman, who lives in Ottawa and was one of Korczak’s orphan children in Poland in the 1930s. Gluzman shared his experiences with Amanda Lewis, the artistic director of the OSSD. Gluzman’s story inspired Lewis to gather the talent necessary to produce the play.

Lewis says that the spirit of Korczak’s teachings were taken up by the children who took part in the production of the play. “The children really took ownership of the ideas of the orphanage,” she says. “They embody these children in a really meaningful way.”

She says that the results of working with children in a respectful and equal relationship are very positive. “When you respect a child, you get respect back,” she says. “We don’t talk down to children. We work with them and the rewards are incredible.”

Lewis says that although the play takes place in the “shadow of the Holocaust,” we should not “stop with the horror of [Korczak and his children’s] deaths,” but rather appreciate the ability their story has to touch our lives in a positive way.

Gluzman, who left Poland before the

German invasion, is sponsoring the play.Holocaust Education Week begins with

a launch event on Nov. 9 at the Hellenic Centre at 1315 Prince of Wales Dr.

Planting the seeds for success

Jennifer McIntoshjennifer.mcintosh@

It was about six years ago when Shirley Plant decided she wasn’t going to let her allergies control her life anymore.

Faced with a lack of menu options because of several food intoler-ances, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, Plant decided she was going to take matters into her own hands.

“Food is such a big part of our lives,” she said. “I was so tired of not being able to have birthday cake or Christmas hour d’eouvres. So I went into the kitchen and got to work.”

Plant is intolerant to dairy, soy, wheat and glu-ten said she would go into Chapters to buy six reci-pes books and come away with one recipe she could use.

“There are a lot of dairy-free cookbooks and gluten-free cookbooks, but not a lot with more types of allergies and intolerances,” Plant said.

That’s when Plant decided to she should write her own cookbook.

“For the first year I just threw a lot of food out,” she said. “There is a chemistry to food, so it’s not just a matter of taking out the eggs and the glu-ten, because then there is nothing to make it rise.”

Finally…Food I can eat is the result of six years of research, nutrition classes and a whole lot of elbow grease.

The book has had three printings since it was released a year and a half ago and sales are showing no sign of slowing.

Plant is still unpack-ing her new home in Trend-Arlington but she

managed to head over toMother Hubbards NaturalProducts and Foods onGreenbank Road to con-vince the owner to sell herbook.

“I first went there inthe summer to introducemyself and leave a bookbut I didn’t hear fromhim,” Plant said.

She went back to thestore a couple of monthsago and was holding herbook when another cus-tomer asked if it was forsale.

“I don’t know,” shesaid. “Ask the owner.”

Since then the store hassold out of the book threetimes.

Plant said she hopes tobreak into the Americanmarket soon.

“ W h a t m a k e s m ehappy is that I am gettinge-mails from people whodon’t even have any foodallergies and they still likethe food,” she said.

Whether it is a childwith a wheat allergy orsomeone looking to eathealthier, Plant said shewants people to have thechoices she couldn’t forso many years.

“I do stuff for kids sothere is a cake with noeggs or gluten and thereis pizza,” she said. “Andthere are recipes for vege-tarians or non-vegetarians.I wanted as many peopleas possible to be able tofind things they liked.”

The book has alsolead to a side businessof dietary consulting —something Plant said shenever really expected.

Through her websitewww.deliciousalterna-tives.com potential clientscan sign up to meet withPlant for shopping advice,meal plans or recipes.

“I found something todo that fits my life and Iam so happy it is helpingpeople,” Plant said.

Look Who’s ComingBoston BruinsSaturday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m., CBCThe Bruins were the beasts of the East in 2008-09, winning the conference regular-season title with a combination that’s hard to beat – scoring the most goals as a team while allowing the fewest. Marc Savard, one of the National Hockey League’s top playmak-ers, again led the Bs in points (88). Former Gatineau Olympiques star David Krejci edged closer to elite status with a breakout sea-son, while emerging power forward Milan Lucic adds a physical presence up front. Norris Trophy winner Zdeno Chara remains the main man on the blue line. Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thom-as’ goaltending style is unorthodox but highly effective

Jason Spezza knows all about the pride behind the red maple leaf jersey.

The Ottawa Senators cen-tre has represented Canada twice each at the world and world junior hockey champi-onships, bringing home med-als on each occasion. But he knows there would be nothing like having the opportunity to strike gold on home soil at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

“It gives you a little bit of extra fi re in the belly to play on your home turf,” said Spe-zza, one of 46 players to par-ticipate in Hockey Canada’s summer orientation camp for the 2010 Olympic team. “Def-initely, it makes it a little bit more of an exciting thing.”

Spezza got to experience the thrill of the Winter Games fi rsthand back in 2006, when he was part of a three-mem-ber “taxi squad” of substi-tutes at the Torino Olympics. Though he never saw any ac-

tion, he soaked up as much of the Olympic experience as he could.

“It was amazing, staying in the (athletes) village and being around everything,” said Spe-zza. “Going through the whole process of the Olympics was a great experience and some-thing I learned a lot from.”

Spezza is certain the ex-perience in Vancouver will be something completely differ-ent.

“In Canada, it’s going to be special,” he said. “I was at speed skating (in Torino) when Cindy Klassen broke the re-

cord there and that was pret-ty neat. But I don’t think any-thing is going to compare to (Vancouver 2010).”

Naturally, Spezza would love to be a part of the team that tries to return Olympic men’s hockey gold to Canada. It would also be one more timefor him to feel that pride in the red jersey.

“You don’t feel like you’re playing for anything other thanfor your country and wanting to win,” said Spezza. “There’s a lot of pride involved in it andthey’re always special experi-ences.”
