Terry Fox students clean up at tech contestBrier [email protected]

Community terry Fox elementary School students recently returned home with gold medals from the ontario technological Skills Competition in Waterloo after advanc-ing from wins at the ottawa-region level.

the tech-friendly school is home to many different tech programs and pilot projects which teach students skills in class and in

extracurricular clubs. While they students may be young

grades 7 and 8 they have some tech skills beyond most adults.

the students competed in robotics and animation, and both groups took home gold medals at the May 5 event.

the robotics team had to program their robot to follow specific courses, and per-form specific tasks without any help from a teacher.

the team was thrown off their game a bit when some of the challenges werent as they expected and prepared for, but they were able to modify the approach quickly enough to still take home a first place finish.

We had to change some of our robots and how they worked, said grade 7 student alex Harris. But we really worked together as a team. We problem solved a lot.

Simulation shows students dangers of drunk drivingBrier [email protected]

News - Louis Riel high school had ambulances, po-lice cars and fire trucks roar in on May 28 morning, as one student lay motionless across the hood of a car in the park-ing lot.

The student-actor, part of a simulation for Grade 12 stu-dents, was eventually loaded into a hearse as the actress playing the drunk driver was breathalysed and put into a police car by uniformed of-ficers.

The students participated in a Toe Tag event, named after the tag that a coroners office would put on a deceased per-sons foot to identify them.

When the Grade 12 stu-

dents came outside to witness the fake accident, two vehi-cles were in a mock collision, with a drunk driver in one car and two injured students and a deceased student in the oth-er. The students were wearing makeup and had fake injuries and blood on their faces.

After the students ar-rived, emergency services arrived, and extracted the stu-dents from the car. Students watched as student actor Maha Abdel-Fattah was given a breathalyser by the police officer, and then informed she was being arrested for impaired driving. She was put into handcuffs and lead into a police cruiser.

After she was taken away, the body of student Gustave Pinault-Masson was covered

with a sheet and loaded into the hearse and driven away.

The event was organized by the Blackburn Hamlet Op-

timist Club and the citys Saf-er Roads Ottawa program.

We wanted to present it to the Grade 12 students be-

fore the after prom parties be-cause well, kids will be kids, said organized Anne-Marie Philippe, from the Optimist

Club. We want to show them the drastic consequences.

Protect Yourself and Prevent the Bite!

R0012516689

Warm weather has arrived and outdoor adventure has begun.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is re-minding residents and visitors to be cautious of unwanted com-pany who may latch on for a free

ride ticks. Ticks vary in size and colour depending on their age and feeding status.

While Ontario is home to a num-be r of different species of ticks, its the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis; also

called the deer tick) that we have to worry about as it can carry or spread the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that causes Lyme Disease (LD). Though not all black-legged ticks are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, those that are infected must be attached to their human host for a minimum of 24 hours for the bacteria to be transferred into the human blood stream hence the importance of catching it early.

Symptoms of LD usually begin three days to one month after being bitten by an infected tick. Individuals that acquire LD often develop a round, red rash that slowly expands away from the tick bite resembling a bulls eye pattern. Other u-like symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, LD can cause neu-rological symptoms, rheumatologic symptoms or cardiac ab-normalities weeks to years after onset. As a result, residents are encouraged to see their doctor if they think they might have contracted LD.

Ticks hide in tall grasses or shrubs and crawl onto human or animal hosts when given the opportunity. Humans, dogs, birds and deer populations are all ideal hosts for ticks.

To avoid tick bites, take these easy steps to protect yourself and your family:

Apply an approved insect repellent containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing;

Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to avoid exposed skin;

Tuck pants into socks;

Wear light coloured clothing;

Stay to trails and avoid walking in the long grass;

Check yourself, children and pets for ticks, pay special attention to the scalp, groin, armpits, and behind the knees.

As well, help make your en-vironment less favourable to ticks:

Keep the grass in your yard mowed;

Remove brush and fallen leaves from the edges of property, especially if your yard borders a wooded area or elds of tall grass;

Reduce the attraction of small critters such as mice and voles by cleaning up areas under and around bird feeders;

Discourage deer from entering your yard, as ticks also feed on these animals;

Place childrens play structures away from wooded areas.

By following these simple tips, you can better enjoy outdoor adventures with your family and friends.

In the event a tick bites you, follow these steps to effectively remove it:

1. Using tweezers, grasp the ticks head as close to the skin as possible and pull slowly until the tick is removed. Do not twist, squeeze or rotate the tick. Do not use a match, lotion or anything else on the tick.

2. Place the tick in an empty pill vial or zip-lock bag with a moistened paper towel.

3. Wash your bite site with soap and water.

If you have a tick key, you can:

1. Place the key over the tick in the tear-drop hole.

2. Slide the tick into the specially tapered slot.

3. Pull the key away from the skin. The tick should come out easily. Disinfect your tick key after each use.

Ticks that have bitten humans may be submitted for testing to OPH, by appointment. As this is a surveillance and iden-ti cation program only, results may not be available for a number of months. Your physician conducts all clinical case management relating to your tick exposure.

For more information or questions regarding tick submissions and Lyme disease, please visit ottawa.ca/LymeDisease or contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

I apologize for the brevity of this column, but I have to leave town suddenly for a funeral.We knew the day was coming, but we didnt know when. Funerals have a funny way of catching you off-guard, even when you think youre prepared.

Its not easy to cancel an entire week of ones life, but thats often what has to be done. So far, Ive cancelled specialist doctors appoint-ments, a fi nal group music lesson, a surprise going-away party I was meant to be hosting and most of my scheduled work for the next month.Theres no way to book a discounted fl ight in advance, so the next step is generally sorting out overpriced travel and accommodation. I got lucky with a rental car deal and a relative who was happy to let me crash in the spare room. Then theres childcare and work schedules. Oh, and work.

For all the fl exibility of a freelance career, its really not fl exible at all. The main problem? Im irreplaceable. I dont mean that in a pretentious way. In fact, its a negative thing. If I need to pick up and leave for any reason at all, there is no one who can just pick up the pieces of my work and take over. I have no team.

I remember hearing a story several years ago about a freelance newspaper editor who put together a weekly in the late 80s. She went into early labour with her fi rst child. It was the evening before the paper was due to go into production. On her way to the hospital, she stopped by the offi ce, copyedited every single item, laid out the copy and then called an

ambulance. Some may see this as admirable. I see it as crazy.

We live in a society where inde-pendence is celebrated and seemingly desired. Fewer people marry; more people live alone; in our hearts we

fancy independent home ownership over cooperatives and individual patents over team wins.

But in so many ways, we need each other. And we need to offer ourselves to others whenever possible. I heard a great sermon a few weeks ago, which reminded me that we are all part of a carefully crafted mosaic. Often we never realize the impact our small or big actions will have on another person. Sometimes, its only many years later that we come to understand a simple phone call or a gift has

changed anothers life profoundly. As I check and double-check my

still half-empty suitcase for tomor-rows journey do I have shoes, shirts and jewellery that coordinate? the more profound understanding is that, its at times like this I realize the importance of having a network of friends and family: People who are willing to provide extra meals and ad hoc childcare while moms out of town; those who can take on an edit-ing project for me at the last minute; the ones that offer to pick up groceries

or take the kids to their soccer games.Nurturing these relationships and being available to others is a priority for me in my life. People need people and we all have something amazing to offer. (I tend to make soup). Its through the depths of our generosity that we nurture deeper relationships. The deeper the relationships, the more likely we are to have someone to turn to in our own time of need. Not only that, but our simple actions may even alter the course of someones life forever we just never know.

Nurturing your own personal networkBRYNNALESLIE

The city is offering a wonderful oppor-tunity for residents to explore Ottawas cultural diversity and rich heritage this weekend.Since 2002, more than 700,000 visitors have

taken advantage of Doors Open Ottawa, a free an-nual event that provides insider access to buildings such the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, the Royal Canadian Mint and the Ottawa Police Service building.

The event will unlock the doors of normally off-limit buildings such as ambassadors homes and the Britannia Water Purifi cation Plant.

This years tour, on June 7 and 8, will feature more than 120 buildings.

The Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario will participate in the event as part of its 40th birthday celebration. Residents are invited to take a behind-the-scenes look at the hospitals cutting-edge research and visit labs, surgical suites, a butterfl y garden as well as a chance to check out its famous Karsh portraits.

Visitors can select from a variety of modes of transportation: walking, driving, cycling Doors Open Ottawa will provide a free shuttle bus, which will offer stops within walking distance of 50

buildings on the tour.For some residents, the day will present an op-

portunity to learn about other cultures or religions by visiting buildings such as Blessed Sacrament Church, located on 194 Fourth Ave., the Greek Orthodox Church,1315 Prince of Wales Dr., the Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton Inc., 4835 Bank St. The Ottawa Main Mosque, 251 Northwestern Ave., or the Protection of the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Church, 99 Stonehurst Ave.

Mayor Jim Watson hit the nail on the head when he referred to the tour as an opportunity to experi-ence fi rst-hand some of Ottawas architectural treasures.

Organizers say this years buildings are an eclectic mix of modern and heritage architec-ture, including churches, mosques, government buildings together with artist studios and private businesses.

Some examples include the Arts Court, 2 Daly Ave., the Mercury Court Building, 377 Dalhousie St., the C.D. Howe Building , 235 Queen St., the Carleton Masonic Lodge, 3704 Carp Rd., or the First Baptist Church, 140 Laurier Ave. West.

We should never take our history and culture for granted.

My friend and I bumped into each other at the gym and were discussing what it needed. There was the usual list of complaints, despite the fact that it is a very nice gym. Then he said something that struck me.

We need to get rid of the beeps, he said.From that moment, I began hearing beeps

that Id never heard before. This gym, like other gyms has machines that beep. They beep when you change settings. Because they are spiffy new machines treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals and the like there are lots of settings to change.

You can change the speed, the incline, the degree of diffi culty, the type of readout. You can turn the TV on and off and change the channels. If you increase to six miles per hour from one mile per hour, the machine will beep for every 10th of a mile.

They arent that loud. If you never think about beeps, they probably dont annoy you. Once you start thinking about them, they do. Sorry to make you think about them.

We are so used to beeps in our lives that we may have forgotten to ask why they are there. What favour is the machine doing for us when it beeps?

Well, its telling us that we pushed a but-ton. The bank machine tells us we pushed a button. Some car keys beep when we push a button. (Others honk even worse.) Gas pumps beep when we select a grade of gaso-line. Phones beep when we press a number.

Maybe we need to be informed that we pushed a button. Thats because, in another triumph of modern design, buttons have been made so that they dont click down when we push them.

But we shouldnt need that favour, should we, because machines have a visual display that tells us we pushed a button. In the gym, you know without a beep that you just increased your speed.

My friend was thinking that it would probably take a technician from the tread-

mill company to make the beeps go away, so it was unlikely to happen. Thats no surprise. Even when we have the power to make the beeps go away, we rarely take advantage of them. We seem to want a noise that tells us when theres email, even though we can see the icon on the screen. Its easy to stop your car from honking when you lock it, but most people dont bother, which is yet another reason why shopping centre parking lots are among the least pleasant places on the planet.

The sad fact, really sad to my friend, is that we have become a beep-addicted soci-ety. The number of devices that beep grows every day and our efforts to control them are laughably ineffective. There is no will to do it. Its no surprise, is it, that the federal gov-ernment is giving in to those who demand that their electronic devices be available to them at every possible second on airplanes.

Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced last week that passengers will be able to use their portable electronic devices during takeoff, ascent, descent and landing fl ights, as long as the devices are in non-transmit-ting, or fl ight, mode.

If you think about it, she said, here you are trying to fi nish a memo, or youre

trying to fi nish reading a document or you have your child next to you whos playing on their Nintendo DS or on a tablet. Now, you have productivity time and you have the freedom to choose.

Heaven knows, we wouldnt want any-body to be deprived of productivity or Nin-tendo just because a plane is landing. Now nobody has to go without their beeps for even a second. It could be a good campaign issue for the government next year. Unless people suddenly start noticing beeps.

News - The city is reducing public consultation requirements for cer-tain small-scale residential develop-ments.

The changes relate to an update on how the city handles site plan ap-plications a more onerous review it requires developers to go through if they want to build something bigger or more involved than something like a single-family home.

The site plan bylaw changes en-dorsed by the planning committee on May 28 would reduce the types of development applications that would require neighbours to be noti ed. The goal is to make public consulta-tion more meaningful, said Michael Mizzi, the citys chief of develop-ment review services.

(Its) so that were not notifying everyone about every small little de-velopment that only requires a build-ing permit, Mizzi said. We want the public consultation to be meaningful. If we are going to draw people out to a community consultation meeting on their evenings and their time off, its to review something that their input is going to help us make changes to the process that are meaningful.

Mizzi said Ottawa has more pub-lic consultation requirements for site plan applications than many other Ontario municipalities.

Many municipalities dont re-quire any consultation related to site plan. Ottawa does, he said.

For residential development, there will no longer be a public consulta-tion requirement for four-unit devel-opments, which will drop the city fees from $19,903.78 to $6,181.78 for a savings of $13,722 for develop-ers. But the change isnt really aimed at saving builders money its a way to regain control, said Geraldine Wildman, the city planner in charge of recommending the changes.

Weve had plenty of concern raised in the in ll areas of the city where we know of some of this de-velopment where youre creating units in a backdoor kind of a way. The conversions really can result in some poor design, Wildman said. So

were going to make sure were going to implement the new rules that speak to residential development equally, whether youre doing a new building, an addition or a conversion.

The changes should make it easier for developers to play by the rules, Wildman said.

Developers are clever. We are now seeing a surge in people build-ing triplexes with un nished base-ments. They come back in after they complete the fourth unit anyhow, she said. Were trying to gain more com-pliance up front.

Consultation will still be needed for residential buildings of ve or more units. A staff site plan review is required for buildings containing three or four units.

But some smaller developments will no longer require a site plan review speci cally, a three-door townhouse row.

There are only so many ways to design something like a three-unit row, Mizzi said, so there arent many ways planners can suggest changing or improving those types of develop-ments.

We want to free up our staff to have value added for the more com-plex and bigger applications, he said. Its clear we dont add a lot of value or make a lot of change in the process for really small, non-impact-ful applications.

Community - With spring well underway, aspiring green-thumbs can look to the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm for horticul-ture guidance.

The charitable organization works to main-tain, enhance and promote the farms arbore-tum, ornamental gardens and other public ar-eas, while offering programming for the gen-eral public.

This year offers a variety of learning oppor-tunities.

June 7 sees two tours take place on the farm. From 9 a.m. to noon, the Friends will offer a guided tour of the farms peony beds, while dispensing tips on how to keep peonies healthy and blooming in your home garden. At 2 p.m. a tour of the Isabella Preston lilac collection kicks off. Participants will learn the history be-hind how Canada-hardy lilacs were created in the 1920s.

The weekend of June 14-15 brings a huge used book sale to the farm. Thousands of titles (including many on horticulture) will be on hand at Building 72 over the course of the two days.

On June 15, rose expert Edythe Falconer will deliver a workshop on roses, pests, and diseases at 1 p.m. at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. Participants are required to bring a folding chair for the workshop.

New events are added all the time, with de-tails explained on the Friends website, friend-softhefarm.ca

Teacher supervisor Mehmet Yilmaz said he was impressed with the teams professional-ism and teamwork.

Last years robotics team, made up of some of the same students, travelled to the com-petition and placed second.

This year a Terry Fox team

also competed in the anima-tion competition for the fi rst time. Both teams were made up of students who excelled and showed the highest level skills in extracurricular clubs, said Yilmaz.

Several different clubs and groups run concurrently in a creative room through re-cesses and lunch breaks at the

school. Some of the students

learned how to use an anima-tion program last year from a guest presenter, and a fi eld trip to Algonquin College. At the school this year the interested students have been using a pro-gram called Tune Boom Studio to practise and fi ne tune their skills.

The challenge at the compe-tition was to animate a scene within a four-hour window.

We were supposed to ani-mate a scene, so we choose Rapunzel. We wanted to draw it more realistically, but we did stick people, said Grade 8 stu-dent Emily Fu. We won with stick people so thats pretty cool.

Completing the 42-second scene in the allowed time was an accomplishment in itself, Yilmaz said. The students put in a signifi cant amount of time preparing for the competitions, aiming for fi rst place fi nishes.

We stayed in every recess, said Grade 8 student Kurt Le-may. Even after school and on weekends.

Yilmaz said exposure to technology teaches students a new set of skills, and shows them different career options. At the high school level, skills competitions continue with the opportunity to advance to a na-tional and international level.

This was, the kids can do the things that excite them, he said.

We stayed in every recess even after school and on weekends

SUBMITTEDTerry Fox Elementary School students show off their gold medals in robotics and animation at the Ontario Technological Skills Competition in Waterloo, Ont. on May 5.

All lanes in both directions on the 417 will re-open by 5 a.m. on Monday, June 23.

Crews will then construct a new underpass and roadway approaches for it, which will then be in-stalled.

Neighbours can expect moderate to loud noise including saw cutting of bridge compo-nents during the day as well as overnight.

Lifestyle - With each bite, indulge in the burst of luscious ripe Ontario strawberries, crisp meringue and creamy ice cream. Enjoy this cool dessert on a hot summer evening with friends and family.

Preparation Time: 10 min-utes

Cooking Time: 18 minutes Chilling Time: 30 minutes

to two days Serves: 4

InGREdIEntS

500 ml (2 cups) quartered strawberries 125 ml (1/2 cup) granulated sugar 750 ml (3 cups) vanilla ice cream 2 meringue nests, coarsely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups/375 ml) 125 ml (1/2 cup) finely chopped dark chocolate 4 large strawberries 4 fresh mint leaves

PREPARAtIOn InStRUCtIOnS

Place large glass bowl or metal bowl in freezer.

In medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine quartered strawberries and sugar, cook stirring until sug-

ar starts to dissolve and juice begins to release, about three minutes.

Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 15 minutes or un-til strawberries can be crushed easily with back of spoon. Transfer to shallow heatproof dish; refrigerate for 30 min-utes or until cool. (Sauce can be made two days in advance and refrigerated.)

Remove bowl from freez-er; add ice cream. Working quickly, coarsely break up ice cream. Add meringue, choco-late and 1/2 cup (125 mL) of

the strawberry sauce; lightly combine ingredients. Scoop one-quarter of the ice cream mixture (approx 1 cup/250 mL) into each bowl; top each with 1 tbsp (15 mL) remain-ing strawberry sauce. Garnish with whole strawberry and mint leaf. Serve immediately.

Tip: For a make-ahead idea use Mason jars, seal with the lid and store in the freezer. Simply top with a little straw-berry sauce and serve on a moments notice.

Public art project selected for Trim RoadBrier [email protected]

Arts - The Trim Road re-alignment public art project has been awarded to artist Shayne Dark.

His artwork is titled Erratic Field, and will be installed on the west side of Trim Road between Old Montreal Road and Antigonish Avenue. It will feature around 10 large steel boulders that children can run through, or residents can walk through and explore.

The project was inspired by rock found near the end of Trim Road at Petrie Island, left by glaciers 10,000 years ago.

The glaciers came in, and when they receded they dropped these large boulders. Youd be walking across a field somewhere and youd come across one, Dark said. That gave me my idea to actually bring them, and al-low them to be within a park setting and give them a con-temporary feel, but still have a reference to the community.

The boulders, commonly known as erratics, are often ir-

regularly shaped and a variety of sizes.

Dark is going to create a series of erratics made from Cor-ten steel, around three metres in height. The special steel, often used in bridges he said, will develop whats called purple blooms, giv-ing them a blue-ish colour. The colouring of the Cor-ten takes about 10 years.

Hell create his best ran-dom placement at the site to complete the natural look.

I will probably take 10 or 11 white pebble stones and just throw them from the area and wherever they land will be where Ill put the pieces, Dark said. I think sometimes if youre too calculating, the art becomes too academic.

Funds were allocated to the area because of the Trim Road Realignment project. One per cent of funds from the munic-ipal development project was required to be set aside for public art.

The choice for which artist would be awarded the Trim Road site included a public consultation at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

Dark, who grew up in Ot-tawas Carleton Heights area, now lives near Kingston. He has completed large scale art projects in Toronto, Calgary, and recently Buffalo, N.Y.

Hes been a full-time artist for 26 years, and has several employees working alongside him in his Kingston studio.

Im just thrilled and excit-ed to be a part of this project, he said. I think its really great for the community.

The artist rendering for the public art project on Trim Road shows steel boulders, which will be about three metres tall, to be installed after the Trim Road realign-ment project.

Emerson insists on proper burial for animalsLifestyle - Emerson was having no part of it! Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggressive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird.

Emerson was high on bury-ing anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral. What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote.

He was known to drag a dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service.

Now, the service usually included us five children standing, (although my sister Audrey, the oldest was get-ting less and less enamoured

with the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emer-son said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emer-son measured off by counting backwards.

That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the barn yard, and Emerson didnt take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon as we finished

our breakfast. Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emerson said that wouldnt be necessary, he had the service down pat.

Well, Mother wasnt let-ting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been redded up, and that in-cluded Emerson pitching in. We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mothers routine, dead bird, or no dead bird.

Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old Collie dog Sport,

who, like the rest of us, was well aware of our meal-time routine, and was already sit-ting on the bottom step wait-ing for whatever morsel was coming his way. As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, Well meet at the silo in five min-utes.

Finally the red and white oilcloth covered table was wiped clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away, and the floor swept.

We all headed for the back door. Audrey couldnt be coaxed out of the kitchen. Nonsense...just plain non-sense, she could be heard muttering. Everything could have been happening in an-other country as far as Moth-er was concerned. As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy!

Emerson always wore his

cap at these ceremonies. I thought that strange since you wouldnt dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church service as you could get without actually going to church.

He also took the battered hymn book with him. He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the parlour on the twig table, but Moth-er drew the line on that! No bible left the house to bury a dead bird.

Ronny was already at the site. And it didnt take a university graduate to figure out what he had done. There was a soft mound of dirt, and a stick at one end of it, and there stood Ronny standing in solemn wonder with his hands folded in steeple position and his eyes closed. Ronny had buried the bird. Well, Em-

erson lost all sense of piety, lunged at Ronny, dropped the hymn book, and was about to tear into him when Everett and Earl got a good hold of him and held him back.

Ronny had the good sense to head for the house where he knew Mother would never let Emerson lay a hand on him.

The rest of us stood around the little mound. I have no idea when he did it, but Ron-ny had taken a scrap of paper, woven it through the twig at the head of the make-shift grave, and printed in black red crayon, Goodbye Bird.

Community - Since the first Giant Tiger store opened its doors in Ottawas ByWard Market in 1961, every step taken has been done with the customer in mind, the compa-nys president says.

By the end of August this year, the company will have 207 stores in communities across Canada, including six new stores.

Our goal is certainly to add store count and continue to grow because we think theres a lot of markets yet that were not in that we think we should be in, said Greg Farrell, Giant Tiger president and chief operating officer, adding the company regu-larly receives feedback from customers who would like to see Giant Tiger stores open in their cities.

For that reason, Giant Ti-gers business model is one that entrepreneurs can learn from when it comes to achiev-ing success in delivering out-standing customer service and creating an ideal working environment for employees.

A key feature of the pri-vately held Canadian compa-nys business model is profit sharing for the more than 2,000 employees, includ-ing at warehouses, franchise stores, the trucking division and home office, which is lo-cated at 2480 Walkley Rd. in Ottawa.

It encourages those within the Giant Tiger family to work harder and longer for the customers they serve, said Farrell.

Everyone contributes to the success, and everyone, thereby, should share in the success, he added.

That success is reliant on delivering quality products, from fashion and groceries to everyday supplies, at low prices to customers.

Everything is about reduc-ing the cost to get the product onto the shelf and into the cus-tomers hands. Thats number

one and number two we will never be beat on price, said Farrell.

Giant Tigers customers ap-preciate the companys many guarantees from providing rainchecks and accepting coupons to offering a satis-faction guarantee, a no-hassle refund policy, which includes no time limits on refunds, as well as price clawbacks and an ad-match guarantee.

The customer has to trust us that we have the best price, Farrell said.

Giant Tiger stores also of-fer convenience by offering friendly store layouts and ac-cessible parking.

The company also strives to deliver affordable fashions for the entire family.

We will match Targets quality and style but beat them on price, said Farrell, a Stittsville resident. We will match Walmarts price, but beat them on style.

Given the highly comple-tive retail industry, the com-panys management team and franchise store owners have built a solid name in a high-pressure industry.

Its all about trying to give confidence to our customer, Farrell said.

His advice to up-and-com-ing entrepreneurs also in-cludes being clear on your competitive advantage and differentiating your business in the marketplace.

You also have to be will-ing and able to change and innovate, he said, adding that the company also maintains its edge by keeping a close watch on competitors.

Giant Tiger is also proudly Canadian.

Today, there are fewer Ca-nadian companies in the rap-idly changing retail sector.

Theres a lot that have gone by the wayside, a couple of regional players that are in bankruptcy protection, said Farrell.

The company also prides itself in giving back to com-munities.

We have three brand pil-lars as to how we run our business, and one of them is being connected to our com-munities, and we think thats really important, he said, adding that the ways the com-pany helps range from pro-viding for families in need to supporting local hospital foundations and food banks.

Each year, the company donates more than $2 million

to charities and organizations across the country.

Most recently, eight stores organized free barbecues during the Soldier On Af-ghanistan Relay in early May that saw wounded per-sonnel travel from Trenton,

Ont. to Parliament Hill. Gi-ant Tiger staff also sold offi-cial Soldier On merchandise during the five-day event with proceeds going to the charitable program.

Theyre right there in the community rolling up their

sleeves and theyre very vis-ible, doing what needed to be done to make a difference, in order to make their commu-nities stronger, said Alison Scarlett, Giant Tiger manager of public relations and com-munity activation.

Giving back is not just something we do, at Giant Ti-ger it is who we are.

Giant Tigers business philosophy focuses on customer satisfaction, community involvementPresident says companys model is one for entrepreneurs to emulate

Greg Farrell, president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd., says the privately held Canadian compa-nys business model is one that entrepreneurs can find success in emulating.

Giant Tiger Stores remain committed to serving the community, not only by de-livering quality products for low prices to consumers, but also by supporting charitable causes. Giant Tiger president and Stittsville resident Greg Farrell was the first to purchase a hat in support of the companys support for the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay team, which trav-elled from Trenton, Ont. to Parliament Hill in early May.

News - Ottawa, from a au-tomotive shoppers perspec-tive is blessed with a retailer per capita rate that is one of the highest in North America with 65 manufacturers deal-erships, all operating with solid financial footing un-der professional customer-focused management. The number of dealers has dou-bled since 1971.

Auto retailer ownership here has undergone its own version of restructuring and the results are providing more security for car owners as well as increased selec-tion and a more competitive market.

A great example of how family involvement can improve client satisfaction and long term viability can be found under the Myers nameplate. The name Myers first became associated with automotive retailing and service in Ottawa in 1942. At the time Gordon Myers established Myers Motors as the successor to Ottawas first General Motors dealer-ship. After thriving through a series of dedicated own-ers, Hank Mews, the current

president, took over in 1975.Hank Mews joined Myers

in February, 1971, as general manager. He was born and grew up in St. Johns New-foundland and after gradu-ating from high school, his first job was as a salesperson with a Ford dealership in St. Johns.

baseline and merivale

From there, being uncer-tain about what career path to follow, Hank moved to mainland Canada and over the next few years he tried his hand as a commercial pi-lot, as a life insurance sales-person and finally as a repre-sentative in a Toronto Adver-tising Agency. Hank piloted Myers Chev-Olds Cadillac at the corner of Baseline and Merivale by himself until sons Harry and Robert joined

the organization in the early 1990s. They have held vari-ous management roles along the way and today are part-ners with Hank in all of the dealerships. They and their customers alike have benefit-ed from examples lived and lessons passed down from their father. In the show-room, at the home dining table, or at the cottage, Harry and Robert were constantly exposed to Hanks drive for success and his instruction. They have carried on Hanks philosophy of providing su-perior customer satisfaction and the vision is to continue to evaluate opportunities for future growth.

From early on, Hank Mews and his family real-ized that long term success would be dependent on pro-viding outstanding customer service. They dedicated

much of their financial and human resources to build-ing a reputation, one client at a time, of being compe-tent, caring, and trustworthy. As a result, in a very com-petitive marketplace, Myers grew, their parts, service and collision repair departments flourished, and they quickly became recognized as one of General Motors top Cana-dian dealerships. They also learned that customers are most comfortable and loyal when dealing with a neigh-bourhood retailer that sup-ports the community in an active partnership model.

To serve the growing de-mand for local quality car retailers in growing outlying areas of the city, the Mews family opened Mews Chev-rolet in Orleans in 1992. They quickly became a driv-ing force in the burgeoning

Eastern city with a fast-growing customer base and extended service hours right from the start.

moving west

They moved west in 2003 by purchasing Elliott Chev-rolet in Bells Corners and relaunching it as Chevy West. In 2005 they part-nered with Keith Bean and amalgamated 2 great GM stores in Brockville into a gleaming 4-line GM store. They expanded outside the GM family with the addi-tion of Myers Hyundai in 2008 in Ottawa West quickly earning Hyundai Canadas top Presidents Award of Merit for superior customer satisfaction ratings. Myers Volkswagen in Kanata, My-ers Kanata Hyundai, Myers Orleans Nissan followed as

did their newest member of the dealership family; Myers Kemptville Chevrolet Buick GMC.

Each store is guided by an experienced and dedicated team of professionals, all committed to Hank Mews philosophy of providing an exceptional experience to ev-ery customer whether theyre buying a $39 oil change ser-vice or a $75,000 luxury se-dan. No one rests on the lau-rels of past successes or gets any slack because theyre family. Each store, every manager and department head, all of the friendly staff answers to their customers and in this way they are re-sponsive and proactive to the specific and unique needs of the areas they represent. They are proud to serve and be part of their Ottawa and Eastern Ontario neighbour-hoods. Every year, the My-ers Automotive Group gives back generously through donations to youth develop-ment groups, local hospitals, and the United Way.

With family leadership like this, its easy to under-stand why the auto retail industry in our region is the cream of the crop.

Call for Ontario nominees Giving back is a tribute to your business success

News - (NC) - Pay it Forward initiatives are popular across Canada. They are successful because they benefit both those who give and those who receive.

The Canadian Youth Business Foundation has its own unique Pay It Forward movement, says CYBF Mentor in Residence, Linda Morana.

Every day, thousands of business mentors nurture and support the fantastic ideas and energy of Canadas young entrepreneurs. This is great for the entrepreneurs, but mentors get so much out of it too.

critical

CYBF research finds that a solid mentoring relation-ship is critical to the success of nearly every business start-up. Research shows that 88 per cent of entrepreneurs who have mentors survive in business, compared with only 50 per cent of those who do not. Many successful young entrepreneurs cite quality, meaningful mentorship as a driving force for their businesses. Mentoring increases their confidence, risk-taking and vital skills development.

By paying it forward, you will also build a culture in Canada that supports entrepreneurship and thats good for business and good for the country. More information is available online at www.cybf.ca/mentoring.

News - With spring around the cor-ner, homeowners are sweeping, dust-ing and vacuuming everywhere to get a clean start on the season.

Did you know that most household dirt goes undetected and over the years it can build up and make it more ex-pensive to heat and cool your home? By following these three simple tips, offered by the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Can-ada (HRAI), you can clean up, save money, and breathe easy:

Filter your air: We filter our swim-ming pools to make sure theyre free of dirt and debris we need to do the same for our indoor air. There are two types of filters that can help you re-move stray particles from your indoor atmosphere: mechanical devices that draw air through a filter and electron-ic devices that use different types of fields to purify the air. Whatever op-tion you choose, proper installation and maintenance is critical so consult a licensed contractor.

Get rid of dust: Dust gets ev-erywhere. It can even get into your homes air ducts or your furnaces filter. A clogged filter makes your fur-nace work harder, and can become a breeding ground for bacteria. If you clean your vents and your ducts, there will be less dust in the air, less work for your HVAC system, and more money in your pocket.

You might be able to change the filter yourself and you should do so on a regular basis. Cleaning ducts, on the other hand, takes specialized knowledge, as does maintenance of electronic air cleaners, so engage a reputable contractor.

Get the latest and greatest: If youve got an older house, the heat-ing and cooling system may be less energy-efficient than current systems, costing you more money than neces-sary. Regular maintenance will keep these older machines operating to their full potential, but sometimes, the best solution is to trade up to a more energy-efficient, Energy Star rated system.

News Canada

A clean home is cheaper to run

News - It is next to impossible to determine the exact number of peo-ple in the world who are bilingual, but according to some estimates ap-proximately half the worlds popu-lation can in fact speak more than one language.

According to Statistics Canadas 2011 Census data on language, over 19 million Canadians speak English most often at home, while over 7 million speak French most often at home, and 5.8 million individuals identify themselves as being con-versant in both official languages.

So why does Canada consider it-

self to be a bilingual country?Between 2006 and 2011, the

number of people who reported be-ing able to conduct a conversation in both of Canadas official lan-guages increased by nearly 350,000 to 5.8 million. The bilingualism rate of the Canadian population climbed slightly from 17.4% in 2006 to 17.5% in 2011.

Language policies and the poli-tics surrounding Canadas two of-ficial languages predate Canadian Confederation in 1867. In the early 1700s, both the French and the Eng-lish had large, well-established co-

lonial populations. The French col-onists spoke French, were mostly Catholics and had developed their own legal and political civil law system, while the English colonists spoke English, were mostly Prot-estants and had adopted their own common law tradition and legal system.

The language of Canadas set-tlers, whether French or English, was deeply rooted in their sense of identity and culture, and this senti-ment still exists today, so much so that language politics have affected not only the day-to-day operations

of federal institutions but also the cultural and linguistic makeup of Canadian society. In the learning of a second language, a persons curiosity to learn more about a cul-ture and its people and find new and different ways of co-existing, celebrating and viewing the world is ignited. As bilingualism grows and develops in Canada, so does a greater appreciation and acceptance of the richness of the two very dis-tinct cultures that embody what it is to be Canadian.
