PROUDLY SERVING THE COMMUNITY OF NEPEAN
JENNIFER MCINTOSH
The new Laurentian Place Walmart at the intersection of Baseline Road and Clyde Avenue could be the fi nal push Merivale Road businesses needed to form a business improvement area (BIA), according to Col-
lege Coun. Rick Chiarelli. Chiarelli said this is the fi fth concerted
effort to create a BIA in the area.“Before there really was no competition
for the Merivale Road businesses, but with the Walmart at one end of the road and the big-box stores at the other end, people have a choice,” Chiarelli said. “So they are start-
ing to see the benefi ts of coming together.”Chiarelli and Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.
Keith Egli both said that there are certain challenges when dealing with the number of national and international businesses that form much of stores along the strip.

Another 14 schools in the city have been designated to join the province-wide full day kindergarten program starting in September of this year.
In Nepean, Bells Corners Public School and Our Lady of Peace Ele-mentary School are two of the 14.
Parents with children ready for kindergarten still have a chance to register their children for these pro-grams, even if the offi cial deadlines have passed, said Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi at a press conference to announce the added schools.
“No parent should be turned back. We want to make sure our kids have all the opportunities available to them,” he said.
Naqvi, speaking at Connaught Pub-lic School on Feb. said the 14 addi-tional schools bring the total to 53 in Ottawa area that offer the program.
“Studies show children that get bet-ter education during the early years tend to do better and are successful in their later years,” he said.
“That is the philosophy behind this program which is being offered by the
government of Ontario to ensure that our four- and fi ve-year-olds get the best start possible for them as they grow and move on to grade one.”
Full-day kindergarten is offered in almost 600 Ontario schools this year and will be available at more than 200 additional sites in the 2011-12 school year.
“We are very excited about the op-portunity to implement full-day kin-dergarten this September. We know that this is going to be a success,” said Connaught principal Irene Cameron.
Like existing kindergarten pro-grams, full-day kindergarten will re-main optional for four- and fi ve-year-olds. Where there is suffi cient parent demand, schools will also offer an optional before- and after-school pro-gram.
By 2015, all elementary schools across the province will offer full-day learning programs where children will benefi t from classes with both an early childhood educator and a teach-er, who work together throughout the day to help children learn, play and grow.
Seven schools from the Ottawa Car-leton District School Board will be transitioning to full day kindergarten
this fall. “The board is very pleased to be
implementing this program. It would be nice to have it in all our schools at once but we are phasing it in and do-ing it in a very careful and sensible way,” said board chairwoman Jenni-fer McKenzie.
To register for kindergarten, par-ents or guardians are asked to take the child’s identifi cation documents, including birth certifi cate, health card and immunization record, to the local school belonging to the board of their choice.
“To register you have to live in the catchment area of the school,” said McKenzie.
Most schools currently rolling out the full-day kindergarten did not re-quire capital repairs since they had existing kindergarten facilities. How-ever the next two phases might re-quire renovations and upgrades.
“We are getting very close to need-ing signifi cant capital repairs the next time these announcements are made,” McKenzie said.
“We are looking at creative solu-tions including community partner-ships but capital renovations will of course be part of the solutions.”

Ottawa fi refi ghters were on the scene at a Green-bank Road Sunoco gas station on Feb. 10 trying to contain a fuel spill that threatened to enter the city’s sewer system.
College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that approxi-mately 150 litres had already been spilled by mid-morning.
“Apparently a car drove over the hose as the tank-er hooked itself up to the fuel station to deliver the gas,” Chiarelli said.
Cleanup crews were still working at the gas sta-tion at 11 a.m. to try and contain the spillage and keep it from entering the city’s sewer system.
“Once it enters the system it will go to the treat-ment centre and that’s bad,” Chiarelli said.
While Chiarelli wouldn’t speculate on any costs, he did say the city would likely bill the driver’s in-surance company.

In a fi tting close to Career Week at Algonquin College, students in the motive power technician
program were able to talk with a Ford Canada representative about the com-pany’s new green manufacturing ini-tiatives.
“While the students are fi nishing the course they are kind of in a tun-nel,” Barry Takacs, program manager for the college’s motive power techni-cian course, said. “It’s good for them to see outside applications for their training and learn about career alter-natives.”
David Rossy, a representative from Ford, said the company hopes that by teaching future engineers of car manufacturers about the eco-friendly materials available to build cars they will be able to secure a cleaner and greener environment for generations to come.
“It’s not just about saving fuel and effi ciency,” Rossy said, holding up a piece of a centre console made from wheat-straw enforced plastic.
Ford is the fi rst automaker to use wheat straw, enforced plastic in its ve-
hicles. The company said that reduces petroleum usage by 20,000 pounds per year and reduces Co2 emissions by 30,000 pounds per year.
Ford also uses soy-based polyure-thane foams for their seats.
Company estimates show that 1.5 million cars are on the road today with this material — reducing about 680,000 kilograms of petroleum oil.
“The world is changing,” Rossy said. “It’s unbelievable what you guys are learning now, you no longer just put the car up on the hoist, the fi rst thing you do is plug it in.”
Rossy said Ford is also working on extending the life and ownership of cars.
“Right now the average time a fam-ily owns a car is four years before they replace it,” he said. “That is not much time at all.”
Takacs said he was surprised how many students thought that cars had little to do with Co2 emissions and air pollution.
“I hope today taught them some things about being greener and more sustainable and gave them a chance to look at their career options.”

Nepean-Carleton MPP gets started on the campaign trail
JENNIFER MCINTOSH
At a Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Barley Mow in Barrhaven on Feb. 10 Nepean-Car-leton MPP Lisa Macleod took at aim the harmonized sales tax, hydro costs and local integrated health networks (LHINs).
Macleod started the talk off by say-ing the Conservatives’ plans to control government spending and encourage private sector growth if they are elect-ed on Oct. 6.
One of the proposed cuts to spend-ing was the elimination of local health integration networks (LHINs).
Macleod said LHINs cost the prov-ince $250 million annually — a cost she says would be better invested in frontline healthcare.
“I think people are less interested in spending money on a couch in the LHIN offi ce and more interested in putting that money towards more frontline healthcare,” she said. “My husband and I have spent 10 hours at our own Queensway Carleton Hospi-tal with our daughter. We need more frontline staff.”
Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chi-arelli called the promise “an easy slo-gan.”
“They are putting in terms of a cost solution, but the fact of the matter is our LHINs only cost the province $70 million per year and we get great val-ue for our money,” he said.
Dr. Wilbert Keon, who was recently appointed as chair of the Champ-lain LHIN — whose territory covers most of eastern Ontario — said that throughout his career in the health-care industry he has always advocat-
ed for local decisions when it comes to healthcare.
“Our job is to carry out the plan of the Minister of Health who was elect-ed by the people, but we are on the ground and dealing with people rather than policy so we often fi nd quick and effective solution,” Keon said.
Recently the Champlain LHIN has been working on an aging at home policy that works on putting resourc-es in the community to help seniors stay at home longer, freeing up beds in long-term care facilities and reducing wait times for seniors who need to be placed.
It’s something Chiarelli said couldn’t be accomplished from an of-fi ce building in Toronto.
“They don’t know the communities so they don’t know where the resourc-es are best spent,” he said.
One of the other things Macleod took aim at during her talk at the Ne-pean Chamber of Commerce was the harmonized sales tax.
While abolishing the tax isn’t possi-ble because of the $3 billion that would
have to be returned to the federal gov-ernment, Macleod said the conserva-tives are considering options.
“The fi rst option would be to lower the percentage or we could look at ex-emptions or tax relief,” Macleod said, adding that her survey “Have your say Nepean-Carleton” as well as the province-wide survey would tell the conservatives where residents’ priori-ties lie.
“The stories I hear at my constitu-ency offi ce about the increased cost of living in Ontario would make your heart cry and your blood boil,” Ma-cleod said.
Chiarelli said the HST is revenue neutral and has the support of most businesses in the province.
“Since we implemented the HST six months ago, the economy of Ontario has experienced the best recession recovery of many jurisdictions of the world,” Chiarelli said, adding that thanks to HST and stimulus funding Ontario has recovered 95 per cent of the jobs lost due to the recession, com-pared with 13 per cent in the U.S. and 47 per cent in the U.K.
Another plank of the conservative platform is the creation of a sunset clause for government agencies; some-thing Macleod said is long overdue.
“I bet if you put any three letters of the alphabet together in any order there is a government agency out there with that name and we are spending millions on it,” she said. “You put an “e” in front of it, like e-Health and we are spending billions. It’s high time these agencies had to justify their ex-istence to the people.”
Beth Graham and Brent Colbert, both candidates for the conservative slate in the Ottawa West-Nepean rid-ing were present at the breakfast.

“Obviously when you go into a small-er, mom-and-pop store the owner will be onsite and you can get everything done in one visit,” Egli said. “With the bigger stores, there is an added level, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.”
Chiarelli and Egli met with business owners, Chris Cope — an economic de-velopment offi cer with the city and Min-isters Bob Chiarelli and Sophia Aggelo-nitis at Rockwell’s on Feb. 7 to get started on the work required to form a BIA.
“There are so many benefi ts to the busi-ness to get together and have one, unifi ed voice when it comes to infrastructure is-sues and the city,” Ottawa West Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli said.
The survey process has been started and Coun. Chiarelli said approximately 25 per cent of the businesses have re-sponded.
“It has all been very positive,” he said. Bolstered by the recent success of the
Bells Corners BIA, Chiarelli said they are simply following the same roadmap.
The cost of the BIA is based on the annual budget allocated by the board and is then divided up to the individual companies in the form of a levy based on square footage of the property.
The cost varies from as little as $300 for smaller companies to $2,500 annually for some of the bigger businesses.
“The benefi t they see is always equal to or more than the cost of the levy,” Chi-arelli said, adding that it’s in everyone’s best interest to drive consumers onto Merivale Road.
Once the survey shows enough sup-port for a BIA, Chiarelli and Egli would make a motion at council for a BIA bylaw, which would require another survey.
If fewer than 30 per cent of the poten-tial member businesses objected, than a BIA would be formed.
Egli said a public consultation for po-tential member businesses is coming up in the next two weeks and he welcomes anyone with questions to contact him or Chiarelli.
Chiarelli said issues he thinks the busi-nesses could target would be improving pedestrian access along Merivale and the possibility of a private security fi rm to control vandalism and crime.
“Crime kind of cycles and right now there havn’t been that many incidents, but a security fi rm can keep it that way,” he said. “Obviously the BIA would de-cide on the priorities, but I can see many ways the businesses could benefi t.”

The brush-covered fi eld at Albion and Rideau Roads in Ottawa South may not look like much, but to businesses in the area it represents a lost chance to boost business this summer, which was sup-posed to mark the SuperEx’s fi rst year in its new home.
That dream has been quashed after the Central Canada Exhibition Association (CCEA)’s board of directors announced Feb. 3 that the SuperEx would be can-celled for the fi rst time since World War Two, because the lot won’t have the nec-essary infrastructure and services in-stalled in time.
Jean Larose, general manager of the popular Rideau Carleton Raceway locat-ed just up the street from the Ex’s lands, said he was expecting a spike this sum-mer during the 122-year-old event.
“For sure, if they had the Ex here it would be good for business everywhere in this section of the city,” he said, not-ing that, like everybody else, he’s disap-pointed.
But it’s their own decision, and if they don’t think they can do it then you have to respect that.”
SuperEx president Mark Lamoureux said the decision to cancel the event stemmed from a number of reasons, including the loss of their long-time lo-cation at Lansdowne Park, which is up for redevelopment this summer, and the lack of service hook-ups such as water, electricity and sewer on the new site.
“As everyone’s aware we do own prop-erty on Albion Road, and the infrastruc-
ture to host the event will not be in place in time,” Lamoureux said, although he couldn’t disclose details about why those services were delayed.
A development application between the CCEA and a local developer to build a large sportsplex on part of the CCEA’s Ottawa South lands also expired last year because of diffi culties securing service hook-ups with the city of Ottawa, among other issues.
That development was meant to aid SuperEx in getting set up in time for the annual carnival, but the deal withered much like the battered rezoning signs still hanging around the property a year later.
Although a nearby pub bartender said he doesn’t think the Ex would have added much business this summer, his neigh-bour George Saade who owns the Swiss Airport Inn Motel near Bank Street and Mitch Owens Drive said he was expect-ing a big boost from the event.
“It would be better business for sure, we’d have people coming over from the Ex, and more money we’d make,” Saade said, noting that when the carnival does fi nally arrive in 2012 it will be good for development.
“We’d make more money 100 per cent, and we need more life here, there’s noth-ing here. The city doesn’t help us out.”
Lamoureux said the CCEA, which owns and operates SuperEx, fully plans to run SuperEx in its Ottawa South loca-tion in 2012.
“Absolutely, we’ve made it quite clear that the CCEA is committed to continu-ing discussions with the city and others to help us move to our new home in the south end of Ottawa in 2012.”

An Ottawa police offi cer has been reassigned to administrative duties after being charged with two counts of assault.
Police are not releasing the name of the offi cer in order to protect the victim’s privacy and prevent further victimization.
The Ottawa Police Service Profes-sional Standards Section is also inves-tigating the actions of the 31-year-old Ottawa man. Charges will be laid under
the Police Services Act. “The Ottawa Police Service takes the
conduct of its members very seriously and holds all sworn offi cers to a stan-dard that is consistent with community expectations and their oath of offi ce,” Police Chief Vern White said in a press release. “In cases where an offi cer is found to be in violation of these stan-dards, discipline will be sought.”
Ottawa Police are giving few details on the alleged crime, citing victim privacy. The matter is now before the courts.

A temporary (?) goodbye to SuperExCOLUMN
So there won’t be a SuperEx this year. The Central Canada Exhibition As-sociation board made the decision and announced it last week. It has to do with the changes at Lansdowne Park and the unreadiness of the site the board owns out at Albion Road.
There are a lot of people who hope that the announcement means what it says — that the Ex is having a temporary hiatus and will be back in 2012. And there are some people who are indiffer-ent, because the Ex no longer means anything to them any more.
Among the advantages cited for a move to new quarters away from the centre of the city is the added space that will allow the agricultural component of the Ex to be enhanced. Among the disadvantages is the distance for many city dwellers. While the Landsdowne Park site was controversial for many who lived nearby, the Ex profi ted from the amount of walk-by traffi c.
Reader comments on articles about the postponement are not always represen-tative of public opinion, but it is worth noting the impression they generate that the Ex had become irrelevant to people’s lives, in the recreational as opposed tothe agricultural sense.
It’s hard to see how the board can over-come this.
Many years ago, before the Ex became the SuperEx, exhibitions were hot. They showed people things they had not seen before; they were where people went to see the latest. Last week’s Citizen story about the SuperEx was accompanied by a photo of an automobile race, a bunch of old-time cars whipping past the grandstand. Except that they were not old-time cars then, and the idea of them racing was fairly new.
The grandstand show was where peo-ple went for music that they couldn’t see anywhere else, big-name acts that were only heard on the radio or on records. The grandstand show was a big deal.
In another way, the midway was a big deal too. Sure, people complained about
being ripped off by the games, but that was part of growing up, and the noise and excitement of the place was a kick for children and teenagers.
It is an understatement to say that things have changed. The expansion of news media and the Internet means that we know what’s new before it even hits the street. We can watch cars race, if we care, on YouTube. Kids can play games on their computers that are as exciting, to them, as anything available on the midway. Nutrition scolds have fright-ened us off the midway food.
And the grandstand show was made irrelevant by music videos on TV, even before YouTube arrived.
As a people we are a bit jaded. If we haven’t seen everything before, we think we have. The sense of wonder, the wow! factor that drew people to the Ex in years gone by has gone by.
That, at least, is the pessimistic view, which has become the conventional one. It may not be completely right. Travel with some pre-schoolers out to the Ex-perimental Farm and watch them check out the lambs and cows and rabbits and you will see that wonder does still exist in this world.
Remember also that people still like
to go out, particularly at summer’s end. Not everyone is content to stay home playing video games and watching stuff on the Net.
So there is hope for the Ex. Granted, it faces stiff competition. Other popular fairs have grown up in Valley towns. When the Ex was in its heyday, there was no ScotiaBank Place with its compet-ing attractions. There was no National Arts Centre for much of the Ex’s early life. And, as noted, there were few of the electronic distractions in our homes.
The Ex’s task is to fi gure out a way to make us say “wow!” again. It’s not easy in this world, but not impossible either.
No simple answer to getting alongIf anyone wanted to have an entertaining
night out, they could try debating religion or the effect of multiculturalism in a tavern anywhere in the country. All you have to do is uncap the beer, and throw the question on the table. The argument about immigration and the supposed tearing apart of the Canadian social fabric would be up there with the question of which hockey franchise is the greatest of all time. Sports, like politics is a perfect breeding ground for debate and confl ict but rarely agreement.
We rise in the morning and go to sleep at night awash in news from all over the world. Most of that global information is threatening in nature. The impression created is that there are cultures that refuse to cooperate with western society and when they arrive in North America for whatever reason they will do their best not to integrate with our humble but successful system.
The great fact about Canadian society is that we have the ability and inclination to embrace other cultures and people while somehow keep-ing hold of what we feel is innately ours. As a result, immigrants are able to adapt to a North American viewpoint without feeling their own roots are being threatened. Around the world
politicians and social observers have stated that multiculturalism in their particular country does not work — that immigrants arrive in a country only to set up their own small society as a home away from home. A closer look at the rea-sons people immigrate may explain why, in some cases, complete and healthy integration does not take place. The bottom line for most, if not all newcomers to Canada, is jobs, and the freedom and stability to enjoy them. Having a meaningful job and the rewards of achieving goals is a great way to keep discontent, frustration and, in the end, confl ict to a minimum. Capitalism may not be the Holy Grail socialist thinkers are looking for but history shows that when capitalism is married to a democracy and dusted with just a pinch of socialism, a better deal is forged than in most other socialist and government models.
Watching the upheaval in the Middle East, one cannot help but cheer as one country after an-other fi nds the courage to stand up for what are basic human rights — the right to live free and without fear. They too will have to fi nd a model which incorporates a multi-cultural dynamic which recognizes one country overall but allows for individual freedom of expression.

Cats cast comes to KnoxdaleJENNIFER MCINTOSH
Knoxdale Public School students got a sneak peek at the cast of Cats at a special performance of Memory in their gymna-sium on Feb. 10.
Cats opened in 1981 and is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s feline fantasy about a bunch of singing cats hoping to go to heaven on a fl ying tire.
Before the cast members hit the stage at the National Arts Centre for the Broad-way Across Canada’s presentation of the musical, they were on hand to answer questions about being actors to the kids.
The actors and promoters of the mu-sical believe in “The importance of nourishing a passion for arts especially in young children.” according to Shana Levin, media spokesperson for Broad-way Across Canada.
“We always do what we can to talk to kids about theatre and the arts,” Levin said. “There’s nothing quite like hearing from real actors about what it’s like to be onstage.”
Erica Hansen, who plays Jennyadots, said she has been acting since she was a child.
“I always really enjoyed it and I recom-mend it’s something you all try.”
Each of the cast present had a chance to talk about their careers with the chil-dren and how they got into the profes-
sion.After the song Memory, performed by
Kathryn Holtkamp, who plays in the role of Grizabella Knoxdale children prac-ticed being cats.
“I think the kids are going to have a lot of fun with it,” Knoxdale Principal Mar-tina Sherwood said. “An experience like this is one that a child will cherish and we are grateful to all those associated with CATS for offering our students this opportunity to not only share the music, but hear about the experiences of the ac-tors as part of a touring show.”

WHAT WE BUY
By Jason DelongSTAFF WRITERYesterday at the Travelodge West, hundreds lined up to cash in antiques, collectibles, gold and jewejry at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow. The free event is in Ottawa all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visi-tor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbeliev-able, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old her-ringbone necklaces—in less than fi fteen minutes I left with a check for $700. That stuff has been in my jewelry box and dresser for at least 20 years.” Another gentleman brought in an old Fender guitar his fathar had bought years ago. The man said, “Dad had less than fi fty bucks in that guitar.” The Roadshow expert that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for
$5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got anoth-er $150.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not every day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.”
Jeff Parsons, President of the Treasure Hunt-ers Roadshow commented, “Lots of people have items that they know are valuable but just don’t know where to sell them. Old toys, trains, swords,guitars, pocket watches or just about anything old is valuable to collectors. These col-lectors are willing to pay big money for those items that they are looking for.”
This week’s Roadshow is the best place to get connected with those collectors. The pro-cess is free and anyone can bring items down to the event. If the Roadshow experts fi nd items that their collectors are interested in, offers will be made to purchase them. About 80% of the guests that attend the show end up selling one or more items at the event.
Antiques and collectibles are not the only items the Roadshow is buying. “Gold and silver
markets are soaring,” says Archie Davis, a Roadshow representative. “Broken jewelry and gold and silver coins add up very quickly. I just fi nished working with a gentleman that had an old class ring, two bracelets and a handful of silver dollars. His check was for over $650.00. I would say that there were well over 100 peo-ple in here yesterday that sold their scrap gold.”
The Roadshow continues today starting at 9am. The event is free and no appointment is needed.

BRIAN WILSON
This week’s Central Canada Hockey League action saw the Nepean Raiders take on the Kemptville 73’s in a home-and-home series with the Raiders winning both games.
Both games had playoff implications. The Raiders are trying to control their positioning going into the play-offs while Kemptville is still trying to gain a spot.
Raiders head coach and general manager Peter Gou-let stated that “they are only able to control what hap-pens on the ice. There are teams that are trying to catch us and we are still trying to catch other teams.”
On Friday night, Feb. 11, Nepean travelled to Kempt-ville and earned a 6-2 win.
The Raiders opened the scoring at the 6:23 mark of the fi rst period when Brent Norris scored his 36th of the season. They took a 2-0 lead before the end of the fi rst period when Scott Domenico notched his 12th of the year. Nepean scored two more times before the 73’s replaced their goalie. Felix Boutin scored both goals.
The 73’s got on the board, breaking up goalie Dan Alt-shuller’s bid for a shutout. Kenneth Neil got the Raid-ers’ fi fth goal of the game before the end of the period.
The Raiders, holding a comfortable 5-1 lead going into the third, played the remainder of the game on cruise control. The teams exchanged goals in the frame.
Craig Cowie scored his 17th of the year. Assisting on the Nepean goals were Buddy Robinson with three, Cowie with two and Ryan Johnston, Domenico and Bou-tin with singles. Nepean went home with the two points and a 6-2 victory. Boutin and Robinson were named the games fi rst and second stars respectively
Sunday afternoon, Feb. 13, the 73’s visited the Yzer-man Arena at the Nepean Sportsplex hoping to avenge Friday’s loss to the Raiders. They couldn’t, however, as
the Raiders took the game 3-2.Just 2:19 into the game the 73’s opened the scoring.
Later on the period, they added a second goal. Holding a 2-0 lead after one, Kemptville came out fl ying in the second.
The fi rst 10 minutes of the period featured fast-paced, end to end action. A couple of defensive lapses saw the Raiders tie the game with back to back goals less than 45 seconds apart.
Cole Weedmark got his 10th of the season, assisted by Grant Garvin and Devin Stuermer. It was followed up by Robinson’s second of the season. Assisting were Cowie and Zach Carriveau.
Nepean added a power-play goal with less than a min-ute left in the second to take a 3-2 lead to the dressing room at the end of two. Scoring on the power play was
Weedmark with his second of the game from Robinson and Boutin.
The third period had no scoring. The teams combined for 28 shots on goal in the period, but both goalies barred the door. Weedmark and Robinson were named the fi rst and second game stars.
Goulet also said that “the Raiders have had a good season so far, with some struggles as is the norm in ju-nior hockey.”
The play of goaltender Dan Altshuller has been amaz-ing. He was named the tournament’s top goaltender at the World Under-17 Challenge
“He is a great kid and sometimes we forget he is only 16,” said Goulet.
The Raiders next home game is Sunday, Feb. 20 at the Yzerman arena at the Nepean Sportsplex at 2:30 p.m.

Photo by Dan Plouffe Expect to see Alison Kreviazuk’s face on TSN quite a bit during the Feb. 19-27 at the Scot-ties Tournament of Hearts as her Ottawa Curling Club team skipped by Rachel Homan will become the youngest team to ever represent Ontario at the women’s nationals.
Nepean representatives compete at Scotties Tournament of Hearts
BY DAN PLOUFFE
When the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts kicks off on Saturday, Feb. 19 in Charlottetown, PEI, Nepean’s Alison Kreviazuk, Lisa Weagle, Emma Miskew and skip Rachel Homan will become the youngest team to ever represent Ontario at the Canadian women’s curling champi-onships.
It was a right the Ottawa Curling Club crew won at the end of January after knocking off the province’s top challeng-ers in convincing fashion during their premiere season as senior-level competi-tors.
“It was kind of a feeling of disbelief,” says Kreviazuk, a graduate of Sir Robert Borden High School, recalling the fi nal rock that gave her rink a 9-6 victory over Krista McCarville in Thornhill, Ont. “It was crazy – fi rst time going at it. In ju-niors, it took us awhile to climb our way to the top, so it’s pretty unbelievable to do it the fi rst time. We were pretty proud of everyone.”
Team Homan didn’t get very long to celebrate their triumph, however, with a fi ve-hour, Sunday-night drive back to Ot-tawa still on the agenda.
“We were pretty much on the road right after,” recounts Weagle, a Nepean High School grad. “We stopped for a quick burger with our families, and then I was back at my desk at 8:30 the next morn-ing.”
The reality for the 2010 world junior silver medallists is that although they’re one of the top teams in Canada – which also means one of the best in the world – curling is not their full-time pursuit.
For Kreviazuk, that means working as a teller, usually from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., although sometimes she’ll have to work until 9 p.m. and then catch a bus to the Rideau Curling Club since it’s open late.
“I try to just fi t anything into my night,” explains Kreviazuk, who’s con-stantly squeezing in dinner. Ssometimes that means you’ve got to be up until mid-night.”
On top of part-time jobs working at a seniors’ home and coaching the “getting started” program, Homan has to put in
extra internship hours when she’s home between competitions in order to gradu-ate from the University of Ottawa human kinetics program by April.
Miskew chose a little less crazy route and took the winter semester off from her industrial design studies at Carleton University, although she’s still busy ap-plying for internships as she enters the last year of her degree. The Brookfi eld High School grad also gets saddled with many of the team’s administrative tasks, and she’ll pick up Weagle from work at Heritage Canada so they can spend an hour curling at lunchtime.
“You can’t be a professional curler and live off that. You need to always have something else,” Miskew notes. “And you have to win to make money, so you can’t rely on that because you can have a cou-ple of bad weeks and all of a sudden not be able to pay your bills.”
While most of their expenses for the Scotties are covered, the rest of the com-petitive season – including travel costs and food – comes largely out of their own pockets. But they have received a helping hand from friends, family, sponsors and the Ottawa Curling Club, which provides a dedicated sheet of ice for them to prac-tice all week. There were also fundrais-ing and send-off parties leading up to the Scotties, and club members glued togeth-er 27 letter-side sheets of paper to make a big banner celebrating their Ontario championship.
“Everyone’s been so good to us,” Kre-viazuk says. “It’s very attributable to our success because we can’t perform our best when there’s no one behind us help-ing with all the little things, especially our parents.”
Team Homan believes their key to suc-cess at nationals is fairly simple – keep playing the same way they have recently and don’t treat the Scotties as something different than what they’ve already expe-rienced.
“The anticipation is getting to be a little long now,” smiles Miskew, whose rink will be up against the likes of world champion Jennifer Jones and Olympic bronze medallist Shannon Kleibrink at the Feb. 19-27 event. “We just want to get there and get started.”
