Ottawa Fiero Club Forum

Just want to take a moment to say thank you to all I have known the Ottawa Fiero club has a lot of nice people on it that I consider friends.
If things go well on Wednesday the 13th I will be up to some meetings this summer if not then this is why I am saying thanks for every thing in advance just in case as you never know how the courts will go and with today's justice system no one cares any more about guilt or innocence it is all about convictions and politics. Dan

Hope we will all get to see you shortly !!!

Good luck Dan.

Hope to see you soon Dan.

My mother went through an ugly separation and unfortunately the aftermath lasted a good 15 years!  A few things I know about court:
- being mad gets you nothing
- tears real or fake buy you alot
- the longer one fights the longer one pay$ for it
- a lawyer can usually get a child to sign anything

Good luck.

Aaron

Best of luck Dan and thank-you for your help while you are dealing with this,Tom

Thank god I am free of the last year and a half night mare. Not guilty on all counts is what it came down to. Dan

And I bet there was no compensation for dragging you though a bunch of bull for so long all for nothing.  It's retarded how that works.

No she is not out any thing took every thing I owned and gave up my home both against family court orders and nothing.
Told all these lies that cost me over a year and a half of stress and bail conditions, the forced sale of my car, over $15,000 in debts for lawyer bills, a week in jail and the loss of my kids for almost two months till they ran for safety and CAS finally got involved enough to get myself and my girlfriend custody till it was all over.
Expenses to her ZERO, she has almost all my possessions as well as my kids stuff collected the child tax benefit for over 6 months illegally by telling them she had the kids and was not charged, lied to collect assistance for them for months and again no charges.
Even after the Judge pointed out how they were full of crap in their stories still no charges all because the courts are afraid to set a presidence that might prevent some one who actually has this done to them from coming forward if there is a chance they could be charged for purgery if it goes wrong. I get that to a certain point but there has to be a limit.
Or in the case of my ex get enough shelters, battered wives clubs and women's organizations behind you with your bull crap lies and you can force almost any thing through today's courts.
Of course I have what I wanted all three of my children in my custody safe and happy to be away from their mother, just need to spend the next few years paying down all the debts run up clearing my name of their lies.

Dan all I can say is that the system is BS.  While I have not been in your situation, I have suffered from the legal systems inability to protect the innocent more than once. The last round saw me turned from the victim into the criminal in fact. All I can say is keep your head up and work towards the future, the Past is nothing more than hard learned lessons.  Good luck man!

Dan;

So did you sort out where you were moving to?  Have you already?

I hope also that you managed to get all your tools out.  If not, I might have a small surplus of stuff for your consideration.

As far as clearing your name.  From my understanding, the fact that your won your case and that the children are with you.  I think that speaks for itself.  The doubters can suck on that lemon.

Great news Dan my brother inlaw  has been going through the same for 2 years hopefully this july the court will prove him right and he can see his kids. O0 O0

Luckily my kid have been with me through most of this, also a good thing the ex did not have a key to the garage or she would have pilfered all my car tools like she did most of the wood working tools that were in the basement that were left to me by my father when he passed long before I even met the sow. Courts are very messed up these days all a women has to do is say you did some thing and you are pretty much toast or can expect years and massive lawyer bills to clear your name.
For me I am grateful the Judge in the end saw enough of their lies to end this properly. Dan

Let me know if you're still looking for a place to rent, we just put our house up for sale but were considering putting it up for rent. 3Bd+2Bth+Garage, beside schools and Centrum in Kanata.

Thank you. I Have been hoping it would not come to this but it is looking like I will be leaving Peterborough area. As of this morning I am now definitely looking so do you have any ideas on rent costs at this point and of course I still have to wait till family court is over next month to see if there is any restrictions on me and where I live with my kids after it is all over.
Also does any one know if any area schools have the gifted programs for my oldest Daughter so her education does not suffer from the move. Dan

Average rent cost for a condo in Kanata with the same specs would range from ~1000-1500. Another option is renting or getting a mortgage on a home in a community such as Greely or Carleton Place. We recently had a relative who purchased a fairly large home with a double garage and a pool in Carleton Place for $190,000. Its best to just keep an eye on Ottawa's out-skirting towns/communities for bargains. If you want to make a solid investment then I suggest looking in the Old Ottawa South, Old Ottawa East, Sandyhill and in the Golden Triangle; though the housing is much more expensive, with downtown real-estate your property value only increases and plateaus.

If FieroFlyer Jr. isn't in High-school then there's Clifford Bowie, an elementary school. If she's in high-school then all schools in the Ottawa area are really good when it comes to accommodating for learning disabilities. I suggest the public board would be best though, I've attended both Catholic and Public High-schools and found the teachers and staff at the public board were a lot more understanding and respectful. I suffered from a speech impediment, stammering, when I was younger.

Church,

It's the other way around, FieroFlyer Jr. is a gifted child, she needs a schooling level way above what is normal for her age.

You have to be careful with the wording you use in the ottawa area as we are controlled by mindless politicians.  Special ed was renamed in a number of schools to the "gifted children program".  How is anyone supposed to keep it straight now?

Bunch of dilwads!

Try and get help with a child that is behind and they go out of their way in today's schools, try and get an advanced child some extra work or more advanced and they run and hide.
Fought the school system for years to get my daughter tested and when they did she being only in grade 5 at the time tested well above a grade 12 level on all subjects in the 99th percentile.
Which from what I have been told means if you stick her in a room with 100 other gifted kids you might find one smarter then her but seeing as there is no 100th percentile it is doubtful.
So yes I am very proud of my Daughter as well as her sisters.
The gifted program she is now in is a joke but at least she is kept some what busy to keep her love of learning alive till she gets out of the system and into a good university. Dan

"Gifted" is quite the broad adjective :P I attended Trinity then Lisgar for their "gifted" program and then Earl. The workload that the students are assigned is essentially two years ahead. Being in the advanced programs does have its downfalls when attending reputable schools such as Lisgar, I finished with a 82 average and had to go back this year in order to raise my average to a 83 in order to be accepted into OttawaU for Mechanical Engineering while my mates who attended regular high-schools in Kanata half assed their way through and managed to pull +85's resulting with a reward of $2000 in tuition. Side Note: I worked my rear off as well, I just happened to land a schmuck of a teacher who gave me a 76 because I didn't kiss his ass and stood up for my self when he exploited my speech impediment by consistently asking me to read out load to the class, which might I add was followed by him mocking me with his classic impression Porky the Pig's "That's all folks!". Point is that if you want your daughter to be accepted into a reputable university and benefit financially, its best to send her to a regular high-school. 

Two only schools that I know of which have a gifted program. Both require you to write an essay and attend an interview.

Hope that helps you out Dan!
