Falls House ‘isn’t coming down’: realtor Local resident will likely turn Manotick landmark into business space

The whimsical brown and white century home at the corner of Manotick Main Street and Maple Avenue isn’t going anywhere, according to the real estate agent who helped a local resident buy the vacant property this month. “The bottom line is, the

building isn’t coming down,” said realtor James Wright. He said his client is still “in the planning stages” of what he might use the building for. The selling agent Ron Warwaruk suggested it may be turned into some sort of office space. The new owner could not be reached for comment. The 120-year-old house and stable at the village’s busiest intersection last belonged to resident Reg Falls, but after he died in 2012 it was put up for sale. The property was advertised as ideal for redevelopment, since it’s zoned for mixed-use purposes, which caused some alarm among the village’s long-time residents. They supported RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt’s move to add the building to the city’s heritage registry in late 2013.

Crumbling crosswalks persist in village core Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

A survey of the sidewalks serving Manotick’s main streets has revealed crumbling infrastructure and rough surfaces are making it harder for people with mobility issues to get around. Residents Janice Domaratzki and Allan Haan, both members of the accessibility committee for the Manotick Village and Community Association, surveyed 13 main pedestrian crossings in the village and found most of them don’t meet the city’s own accessibility standards. The main problem is the sidewalk cutouts – otherwise known as depressed curbs – that are supposed to ease the transition from sidewalk to roadway for pedestrians using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers and

A cutout on Manotick Main Street features a fivecentimetre concrete lip above the roadway – a challenge for wheelchair users and others with mobility issues, according to a local survey. stepped much too high,” Domaratzki and Haan wrote in a letter to the city this month. Domaratzki said the problem spots, which include most of the intersection of Manotick Main and Bridge streets and the entire length of Ann Street, defy the city’s own stated accessibility goals. The cutout on the northwest corner of Manotick Main, for example, doesn’t even come close to connecting with the crosswalk; there’s a lip of about

other devices. But many intersections in the study revealed concrete lips roughly five to seven centimetres above the road, making it difficult for someone in a wheelchair to get onto the sidewalk from the road, and posing a tripping hazard to people using walkers, canes and other mobility devices. “In certain areas, depressed curbs do not exist, some are misaligned and virtually all depressed curbs are damaged and

five centimetres to climb over. “The new Orchard View on the Rideau seniors residence is within a block of this intersection,” the survey points out. “It makes it difficult for local residents to take their family member from the residence for a walk down Main Street.” Further south, at Tighe and Manotick Main, the curb depression doesn’t align perfectly with the road, and as a result leaves a full curb barrier near the centre of the crossing. “They should make sure (the depressed curb) reaches the asphalt, or else it’s redundant,” Domaratzki said. Another prominent concern is that of sloping sidewalks that make it virtually impossible for wheelchair users to get through. The sidewalk along Ann, for example, has “an excessive slope” near the legion building, where there have been falls in the past. The sidewalk in front of the Mews plaza is flat, but severely cracked and uneven, the survey also found. “This is the only sidewalk in Manotick that provides safe walking access to the park, are-

na and community centre,” the survey reads. “Sadly it is neither safe nor accessible.” The intersections in the survey include: • Manotick Main and Bridge streets • Maple Avenue and Ann Street (northwest and southwest corners) • Ann Street heading to Beaverwood Road • Beaverwood at Manotick Mews plaza (southwest and southeast corners) • Beaverwood at Ann (northeast corner) • Manotick Main at Tighe Street (northwest corner), Clapp, O’Grady, and Currier

• Clapp Lane sidewalk heading east to Dickinson Square. The city recently surveyed the village core for sidewalk maintenance issues, spray painting cracks and holes where they need to be fixed. But Domaratzki said inadequate curb cutouts seem to have been ignored. The city’s accessibility design standards say that public right of ways – including sidewalks and footpaths – should be “firm, stable and slip-resistant.” According to the document, “the provision of curb ramps or blended transitions ensures a continuous accessible path of travel between vehicular and pedestrian routes.”

Manotick dancers snag top prize at Florida competition Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Submitted

A trip to Orlando, Florida, proved to be an award-winning voyage for the 36 dancers from the Manotick-based Piqué Dance Studio. The group attended the National Dance Competition, where the studio’s dancers captured the prestigious“That’s Entertainment”award for a routine inspired by the film Rio 2.

since 1975

THE

CAPITAL FAIR

A trip to Orlando, Florida should be all about having fun. If winning the most prestigious award at the National Dance Competition held in Orlando June 28 to July 6 can be classified as having fun, then the 36 dancers from the Manotick-based Piqué Dance Studio who headed south had a great time. “This is probably the biggest thing that we’ve ever achieved,” Koryn MacArthur, the dance studio’s artistic director, said of winning the “That’s Entertainment” award for overall excellence. The award is given out to the dancers who perform what is deemed to be the most entertaining routine at the competition that includes thousands of dancers from

26 studios from across the United States and Canada that attended the event. The Piqué Dance Studio’s five minute routine that snagged the major award was a take on the film Rio 2, which included a large set and a giant bird’s nest to augment the moves of the studio’s dancers who took part in that specific routine. “Having the routine chosen as the most entertaining is huge,” MacArthur said. “To me, that was the top award.” But the collective award wasn’t the only major prize brought home by the studio’s dancers. Brodie MacArthur, 13, who is a student at Kars on the Rideau Public School, won the North American Junior Male Title, which is for advanced elite level dancers. “We have title kids who have a chance to take auditions,” said MacArthur of

Brodie’s achievement. Along with the actual dance competitions that are held over the course of the week-long event, a trip to such a gathering of dancers is also an invaluable learning experience for the young dancers who range in age from seven to 18. There are numerous special classes and tutorials overseen by celebrity teachers such as Tyce Diorio, an American dancer and choreographer who has worked on the television series So You Think You Can Dance. “There’s a large education aspect to the event and we really encourage the kids, when they are not competing, to take advantage of that and take as many classes as they can,” MacArthur said. “The kids have so much fun and that’s what it is supposed to be all about,” she said.

HOME RENOVATIONS

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gingerbread houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; added to cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage registry Continued from page 1

Adding a building to the registry doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it a protected heritage property, but it does mean a developer has to give the city 60 days notice before demolition so the city can review if the house deserves full heritage status under provincial law. For nearly two years, residents have been waiting to see what will become of the corner lot. Wright said it was likely on the market for so long because of concerns about the awkward entrance to the property, which you can really only get to from the north side of Maple, and uncertainty about what builders would be allowed to do with the property once it was purchased. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage services co-ordinator Sally Coutts confirmed that theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had many inquiries

from people who were interested and looking into what they could do with it,â&#x20AC;? Coutts said. Most were nervous to go ahead without the promise of demolition. She said the fact that the house is on the heritage registry means it has â&#x20AC;&#x153;at least some cultural valueâ&#x20AC;? and would be a candidate for designation if the owner were to apply to demolish or change the structure. Luckily for Manotick, the new owner has no intention of tearing down the handsome home, Wright confirmed. Local historian Larry Ellis said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big win for the community, but he is sceptical it can easily be turned into a useful space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly needs a lot of work inside,â&#x20AC;? Ellis said. According to his research, the house was likely built around 1896 by Alexander Montgomery. It passed to

John and Dora Falls in 1935 and stayed with the family until their son Reg Falls died in 2012. The house is â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncommonly narrowâ&#x20AC;? according to the research, but its vertical proportions are typical of urban house styles of the turn of the century. The house has a playful, whimsical quality that radiates from its exaggerated decorative trim, which is why the home is nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the gingerbread house.â&#x20AC;? Ellis said the windows are also original or near original, which just adds to the heritage value. Inside, the home has wide pine baseboards and wide framed arches and doorways, which Ellis said is typical of older homes. The garage behind the home was used as a stable for horses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a fixture there all these years,â&#x20AC;? Ellis said.

The 120-year-old Falls House at the corner of Manotick Main and Maple wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be demolished by its new owner, according to real estate agent James Wright.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT LEMIEUX ISLAND SHORELINE RESTORATION MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The City of Ottawa is planning for the restoration of the northwest shoreline on Lemieux Island.

Lemieux Island is located in the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. It can be accessed through the Rivers Street Bridge from Ottawa. Lemieux Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main use is to accommodate one of the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water PuriďŹ cation Plants. The northwest shoreline of the Lemieux Island, adjacent to the lower level parking area, has eroded signiďŹ cantly. The northwest corner of the Island is composed of mostly weak and fragmented limestone, which is causing progressive recession of the shoreline and weakening of several parking lot fence posts which are currently either leaning or have fallen over completely. It is projected that if erosion is allowed to continue, the adjacent green space and parking lot will be impacted. Thus, shoreline stabilization is required to halt and prevent further erosion.

The project is being planned as a Schedule â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; undertaking and is to follow the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011).

. ( * # " $ * " # (! * $

Input and comments are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project and will be received until August 6th, 2015. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with the planning and design as deďŹ ned in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.

Our athletes are a making us proud

t was so easy to be smug about the Pan Am Games. The Games are in Toronto, the one place in Canada that those of us who live outside of the GTA can stand united in our shared disdain. Here in Ottawa, for the past few years, has there been any more enjoyable sport than laughing at the plight of the sad-sack Maple Leafs? But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just those of us outside Toronto who so easily dismissed the Pan Am Games. Media reports in the lead up to the start of the Games were at times gleeful in the way they pointed out that even in Hogtown the event was not creating a buzz among residents. It was just the Pan Am Games after all, not the Olympics. Stories about slow ticket sales were the norm, and much of the coverage from the national media focused on the manner in which the Games were going to be an inconvenience to residents of that city rather than an event to create civic and national pride. And then a funny thing happened, as is often the case, when the Games actually began. Canadians, from coast to coast, started to embrace the Games

and have been delighted by the level of success our athletes are accomplishing. Athletes from Ottawa and the Valley have been among those collecting a record number of Pan Am medals for Canada. It is moments like the 100-watt smile on the face of Nepean born and raised Andrew Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face after he beat the top ranked player to make the gold medal match in badminton that we should be focused on. Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza ended up with the Pan Am silver medal for badminton. And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget Eganvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melissa Bishop who won a gold medal in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 800-metre final. This was quite the story, considering she missed a month of training in May due to an ankle injury. For many of the athletes from this area who are participating in the Games, this will be as big as it gets in their career. Some may go on to represent Canada at the Olympics or at world championships, but many wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The Pan Am Games is an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Yes, it was easy to be smug about the Games before they began, but now it is all about our athletes, and they richly deserved their moment to shine.

Answer the robo-call

ormally, the second I hear an automated voice on the phone line, I hang up. But this summer parents may want to take a moment to listen or risk your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s access to school and daycare. Ottawa Public Health has launched a â&#x20AC;&#x153;robo-callâ&#x20AC;? campaign, asking parents to contact the agency with their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current immunization records. If you have school-aged children or kids in daycare, you need to get in touch. The agency is asking parents to present updated immunization records for all children prior to the start of the school year. In September, parents who

of immunizations appropriately for more than four years. Many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that in order for children to have access to school and daycare programs, parents are required to update the agency every time their child receives a new vaccine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a murky system that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been properly monitored for years. No surprise then that public health estimates 63,000 Ottawa students do not have up-to-date immunization records. Thus, the robo-calls and a special online form where parents can enter information. So far, the campaign, which seems complicated and onerous, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been well-received by some parents. After almost hanging up on the confusing robo-call myself, I checked to make sure that my kids are up to date with their immunizations.

The opening of Good Earth’s first coffee shop east of Saskatchewan not only is a feather in the company’s cap, but also for the Ottawa International Airport where the cafe opened July 22. Ottawa proved to be the perfect fit for the Calgary-based company that sells coffee and freshly made food. “It’s a great city (that’s) growing now and it’s got a strong coffee culture, a very sophisticated coffee culture and we just feel that our brand fits in really well within the Ottawa market,” Gerry Docherty, Good Earth’s president and chief operating officer, said in the departures area of the airport following a ribbon cutting ceremony. Ottawa is the company’s first foray into Ontario. It is targeting Toronto next, and will continue expanding into eastern Canada, as well as establish a presence in as many Canadian airports as possible. “This is very much a start,” Docherty said. The coffee shop’s opening came on the heels of the opening of the Tulip Bar and Wine Lounge at the airport the day before. Minus one space next to Good Earth’s location, the airport is at its retailer capacity. The airport authority has been very careful about making any retail changes in hopes of min-

also begin on redesigning the check-in counters in the departures area, and the installation of self-check-in baggage areas to streamline the process. “We’ll still offer both, but people are getting used to doing (things) by themselves,” Laroche

said. Changes are also coming to the secondfloor passenger screening area, which was put in place after 9/11. “We stuck it on,” Laroche said. “Right now, we understand that it’s getting cramped, so if the crowds increase in two years it’s not go-

ing to work. “We don’t want customers waiting 20 minutes.”But if that space were redesigned, it would have net benefits for passengers as well as free up some space for a new concession area. “If we move that around, that’s a major move,” Laroche said.

imizing the impact on them when a three-floor expansion to the airport begins in three to five years. “So this will affect our tenant mix and relocate them,” said Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority. The new space will be tacked on to the southeast corner of the airport, which is currently a small outdoor parking lot with portable work spaces for contractors and other employees. “When we do an expansion, it’s two-three years of planning, at least, because it’s very complicated,” Laroche said. “It’s like changing a flat tire at 200 kilometres an hour.” The extension, which will be a multimilliondollar project that has not yet been costed out, will provide much-needed office space for the authority and the airlines that operate out of the airport. It would also free up other space elsewhere in the airport. “Clearly, we’re at the point where we need to expand,” Laroche said. The airport authority will get into the thick of planning next year. “We want to make sure we expand at the right moment, not too quick,” he said. “It costs money and we don’t want the current customers to support an asset that’s too big for them.” Next year, work will

Every community has its own particular personality and rural Ottawa is no exception. The farming community has always been the driving economic force in rural Ontario and along with all those traditional long hours and backbreaking work came stories and music reflecting the times and lifestyles of rural folk. Country music is a fine example of how a community expresses itself and how it captures the essence of that community. Growing up in rural Ontario and most likely on a farm, meant you would become very familiar with all of the different kinds of country music out there and in fact that same music would become the life soundtrack to millions of people growing up with it. In 1984 several North Gower residents got together and decided they wanted to have their own small patch of county music and the fun that goes along

The Rideau and District Old Tyme Music Association has a long tradition of donating their time music and money to various charities. In this photo, from 1991, a group from the association is presenting a cheque to the Canadian Cancer Society. The funds were the proceeds from a dance the club held in memory of the group’s founders. Len Herrick. His wife Donna, presented the cheque to Ed Skrabec, the vice-president of the Osgoode unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. with it. They created the Rideau and District Old Tyme Fiddling Corporation. Centered around the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre in

North Gower, the group was determined to promote and retain the culture of old- time music as well as provide a place for socializing and dancing.

Motorcycle-riding realtors participating in the 10th annual Motorcycle ride for charity Riders travelled from Toronto to Ottawa with stops along the way in Port Perry, Peterborough and Smiths Falls to help raise funds for the Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation, which supports shelter-based charitable organizations across Ontario. “We started in Toronto this morning,” said ride co-ordinator Ron Abrams who has been taking part in the ride since its inception. “We finish in Ottawa, but many of us branch out and continue to tour…five of us are heading to Newfoundland.” Abrams says he’s raised about $1,500 for the cause this year himself. “It’s a great organization and a fun ride,” he said. This ride will bring the total raised since 2006 to over $250,000, with 100 per cent of this going to the Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation, a charity established in 1967 to help raise funds for shelter-based charitable organizations. Since its inception, the foundation has granted more than $4.4 million on behalf

of Ontario realtors to shelter-based organizations across the province. “We are delighted to have our fellow realtors pay us a visit on their way to Ottawa,” says Sharon Clarke, president of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Real Estate Board, Brockville office. The 2015 Motorcycle Ride for Charity kicked off at the Ontario Real Estate Association in Toronto. The riders also made stops in Durham and Peterborough before arriving at their final destination, the Ottawa Real Estate Board. “What started as a summertime joyride for a group of realtors with a fondness for riding, eventually turned into an annual fundraiser,” said Dreena Gilpin, president of the Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation. “The annual ride is a fun way to support families in their pursuit of shelter and home ownership. This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 for shelter. The money raised in each community stays within the community.” The foundation’s efforts help build vibrant, healthy communities for all Ontarians. The purpose of the foundation is to contribute to its members’ communities by making a difference in the lives of people and communities where they live and conduct business. The Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation, formerly the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) Foundation was established in 1967. The foundation supports shelter-based charitable organizations across Ontario. Every donation to the foundation is invested, and the interest earned from the investments is allocated to the cause. All of the interest generated goes directly to supporting local charities, as the foundation’s administrative costs are covered by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA).

In 2014, the foundation gave out $910,000 in grants to over 200 organizations across the province. Some recipients were: Habitat for Humanity, Covenant House Toronto, Eva’s Initiatives, Community Living Mississauga and Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa. The foundation operates solely on the basis of voluntary donations. Every dollar raised directly benefits its recipients. Realtors in Ontario play an integral part in their communities. In a recent survey by OREA, 84 per cent of Ontario realtors said they had contributed to their local community either through local charities, sports teams or events within the past year. That means, over 51,000 of Ontario’s 61,000 realtors contributed in one way or another to their community’s wellbeing. More than $620,000 has been raised for the foundation so far this year.

The current president of the club Irwin White, a fiddler himself said the club could not survive with out all of its volunteers. White has been the club’s president for the past 17 years with the exception of one year off. The club is careful about planning for the present and the future. “We meet four times a year,” explained White. “Everyone is involved and everyone has an opinion.” There are a host of reasons

president has to be able to do. Along the way to being the club’s president White was invited to serve for a while as a director on the Grand Masters Fiddlers Association board of directors. The mandate of the club is to do its best to keep alive old time country fiddle music Along with classis country music. Serving as the clubs president and playing his fiddle along with other musicians is fun. One of White’s jobs as president is arranging the musicians for a Friday night performance. “It’s great to be playing and look out on the dance floor and see people dancing to your music,” said White. “You have to make

sure that everyone is having fun.” The club has its own sound system and drums and keyboard, a must for the many musicians who arrive to play at the centre every second Friday evening of the month. “The volunteers set everything up and then tear everything down each night,” said White. He also pointed out the fundraising aspect of the club. “We do fundraising every year,” explained White. “We also make donations to the Canadian Grandmasters, Ottawa Fiddle and Step, and the Royal Canadian Legion every year.” See WHERE page 12

REWARD: Saving $250 million by not building a new landfill

2015068_02

Two busloads of people came up from Kingston and the club had a membership waiting list along with a registered 330 members. The club was set and the organization has never looked back. North Gower resident Joan Seabrook along with her brother Garnet Beggs were founding members of the club. She remembers the skepticism of people who were sure the idea of a club featuring country music of all kinds and dancing to go along with it could never work in North Gower. “The recreation association had its own board. They felt we would never be able to make a go of it,” said Seabrook. “Garnet came and asked me and my husband Eldon for help in starting up the club,” said Seabrook. “There was a violin player he knew and he had a few musicians lined up,” she said. “We were worried that no one would show up.” The organizers fears were groundless. Two busloads of people showed up and Eldon had to go over to the North Gower Marlborough School to borrow more table and chairs. “It was unreal,” said Seabrook. She remembers growing up with country music and belonging to the club which is fun and interesting. “If you are musically inclined you can play and we dance all night.” She believes the club is almost the same as family. “I remember going to Pierces Corners with my father where he would call square dancing. I was only five or so and I would waltz.” The teenagers from the rural community in the 1950’s and 60’s did not have a lifestyle that anyone from today’s busy urban society would recognize. You went to school all day, then came home and did your farm chores and then off to bed to repeat the same thing the next day. Listening to the Don Messer show each evening was a treat. “We would listen to Don Messer every night on the radio from 6 p.m. to 6 :15,” remembers Seabrook. The Old Tyme Fiddlers Club is a perfect fit for the ru-

ral community. “It was a night out and not too far to drive. It is right in our community,” said Seabrook. There is no shortage of country music or for that matter musicians to listen enjoy and dance to. From Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash to Jimmie Rodgers and Willie Nelson. The music is all there telling stories about love gained and lost, lives broken and healed. The fiddle plays a central role at the club and great fiddle players from all over take their turn on the stage on any given night. Members and musicians

why the club has remained popular for so long. One reason is the club’s enthusiastic membership and dedicated board of directors another is the physical building it holds its dances in. “We have one of the best dance floors around,” said White. They also have a membership who are very enthusiastic and supportive. White came to be the club’s president years ago after taking part in the club’s annual meeting. At the meeting he was asked if he would like to be a director. One thing led to another. Dealing with a great many people, including musicians, is part of what the club’s

Darouze drafts grand de-congestion plan for Ottawa south Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Osgoode Coun. George Darouze is hoping a few quick fixes will bring some muchneeded relief for south-end commuters. In a draft plan he’s pushing for the 2016 budget, Darouze is hoping to alleviate the daily back-ups on Albion Road and Bank Street with a bit of extra pavement. The plan is to pave High Road and Earl Armstrong out to Bowesville Road, and Blais Road from Bank to Hawthorne Road; this will give drivers the option to fan east or west to reach other arterials like Limebank Road or Hawthorne to more quickly reach their destinations, Darouze said. The rookie councillor also wants to widen Rideau Road’s intersection at Bank to add left-turn lanes so that that resi-

dents living east of Bank aren’t getting stuck behind long lines of commercial trucks at peak hours. These are all short-term solutions, Darouze said, to ease congestion for residents while they wait for Earl Armstrong to become the arterial it deserves to be. “The ring road (on Earl Armstrong) is our solution, but that is long-term,” Darouze said. “I can’t wait to fight the transportation master plan in 2018. I need something now for my residents.” Earl Armstrong is identified in the master plan to eventually punch through to Bank Street and create an arterial all the way to Vimy Memorial Bridge over the Rideau River. But that won’t happen for at least another five years – and that’s too long to wait for busy south-end residents. “(The congestion) takes ev-

ery day from our regular life, as parents, as hardworking people coming into the city every morning,” said Darouze, who said traffic back-ups can add up to 45 minutes or an hour to the downtown commute. “That creates lots of stress on our family lives and our relationships.” Darouze is sure the paving will happen on High Road and Earl Armstrong in 2016, and he’s 90 per cent certain about Blais. But he’s still working with city staff to find funding for the Rideau Road improvements. The paving projects are a priority, anyway, Darouze said, because the newly minted routes will help disperse the long lines of cars that get stuck on Albion and Bank behind their respective Leitrim Road intersections every morning and afternoon.

On Albion, the problem has worsened since a new light was installed at Findlay Creek Drive (and housing developments have added more drivers), and on Bank the expanding shopping centre and the traffic that comes with it exacerbates the problem for east-enders. MANOTICK STATION

Darouze is also hoping to get 2016 funding for a new traffic light at Manotick Station Road where it meets Mitch Owens – a long-time ask of Greely residents who know from experience how dangerous the three-way intersection can be. It only recently met the city’s warrant for a signalized intersection, but Darouze said that doesn’t mean it’s not busy. For one thing, the road is much busier in the spring and summer, when the Orchard View wedding and conference centre hosts hundreds of events and the private ultimate Frisbee fields are open for the season. Not to mention, local residents have learned to avoid the

intersection altogether – preferring to take Stagecoach or Dozois where they can access lights – so rush hour traffic counts tend to be low. Previous city traffic counts hadn’t taken those factors into account, but in June Darouze convinced them to change their methods so they could capture the real levels of traffic, he said. On June 5, the morning peak hours showed between 11 and 24 drivers making left turns from Manotick station onto Mitch Owens every 15 minutes; in the afternoon it was slightly lower. Between 18 and 41 drivers were turning south onto Manotick Station from Mitch Owens every 15 minutes in the afternoons – a problem when there’s no left turn lane in that location, Darouze said. The new intersection would add left turn lanes on both roads. Besides the numbers, Darouze said pushing traffic east and west to other traffic lights in Greely has caused its own problems. Drivers are heading down Apple Orchard Road, which is still 80 km/h despite the blos-

soming housing developments in the area, or they’re cutting up Dozois past St. Mark High School where there are hundreds of students milling around in the mornings. Installing a light at Mitch Owens and Manotick Station would keep most drivers out of residential neighbourhoods and limit the number of people driving past the school, Darouze said. He thinks it can be done fairly quickly once the funding is approved; the city is already nearly done the design work for the new intersection. And there’s money to be found, too. The planned roundabout at Stagecoach Road and Apple Orchard could be downgraded to a simple realignment project – costing $400,000 instead of $1.9 million – if traffic can be redirected back to Manotick Station, Darouze said. The Stagecoach intersection only meets the warrant right now because so many people want to avoid Manotick Station, he argued. The 2016 budget is being drafted now and will be released in the fall for public feedback.

They first got the idea when hiking in the Adirondacks in New York when Joanne saw some woodworking and wanted the piece for

herself. Once the couple got home, Craig wanted to try woodworking for himself. “One day I picked up the chainsaw and gave it a try,” said Craig. Since then Craig has taken on woodworking as his full time job. He works from his home just outside of Spencerville, where he creates hand carved wooden bears as his main product. The process of creating the bears is a lot of work and a long process, but Craig is very dedicated to his artwork. He explained when choosing a log, even before the log has been cut, “I can see how it’s (the bear) going to look when finished.” Craig uses chainsaws and other woodcarving tools to create the shape, size and detail of each bear. The bears can range in height from about half-a-metre to two metres, and each has its own unique style and personality.

This will be the first time Carmichael Woodworks has been featured in the Discovery Tour and Craig and Joanne are very happy to take part. They have participated in other art shows with their bears before and always get great reactions from people in regards to their artwork. “Every time people walk by, people always smile,” said Craig. “The kids love it.” This year the North Gower Kars Discovery Tour will take place on Sept. 12 and 13 and will feature a diverse array of local artists at 15 tour stops. Carmichael Woodworks will be located at stop 8 with their display of hand carved bears, alongside six other artists at 6773 McCordick Rd. in North Gower.

Audrey had ritual for special prayers

or reasons unknown to me, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she needed to send to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime. I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then, and her short retort made it perfectly clear: “Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.” And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug. When

MARY COOK Memories I asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned at Sunday School that there was “safety in numbers.” Audrey had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the why’s and the wherefore’s was not to concern me. And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for anything from being allowed to wear high heels, to finding money for a store-bought bra, to being

asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church. I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck, since we were Lutherans, but there we were, Audrey in barely a whisper asking God to find someone to ask her to the Strawberry Social. Any doubts I may have been harbouring were soon cast aside when a young man from the Barr Side Road asked her to the social. I couldn’t believe it! And Audrey leaned over to me after

hanging up the phone and said, “See ... safety in numbers.” More than once while prayig this way I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying, and I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on what Audrey was praying for that night. My sister poked me in the ribs, which was my cue to say, “Please God, hear our prayer.” As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t bring up one word Audrey had said.

Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending on what she had on her “want list.” That’s when I lost track of what she was praying for. I could see no reason why she had to go into such detail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, as long as you let God know it was you, He would take care of the rest. All you had to do, I thought then, was to think of the prayer and that was as good as saying it. However, I was never able to get Audrey into that way of thinking about prayer. She said too, it would be much better if after the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this was just another way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for. Then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the

night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause, and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen.” Well, didn’t that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t finished, and I had jumped the gun, and so we had to say the prayer all over again. My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose. It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God, and she didn’t need a fidgeting six-yearold sister to interfere.

An Irish wake on the farm

ell, that was a first for this farm. We have hosted a wedding, holiday dinners, birthday celebrations and farm parties in the moonlight. But this is the first time we have ever hosted an Irish Wake. Sunday morning dawned bright and humid, with a severe thunderstorm watch. By afternoon, Kemptville had its first ever thunderstorm warning. Perfect. We started to think maybe Uncle Pat was trying to go out with a crash and a bang. Luckily, the storm passed north of us and we just got the tailwinds. It didn’t rain on us, and we managed to escape with one toppled tent, one ripped tarp and some overturned lawn chairs. We got the mess cleaned up before everyone arrived at 3 pm, and made sure the remaining infrastructure

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife was securely fastened to the ground. Pat’s sister (my mom) and his girlfriend Christiane had been working on this Celebration of Life for weeks. I panicked a little bit when the guest list swelled to 50, then 60 people who would like to stay after the service for a sitdown meal. We had never fed quite so many before. We decided to dedicate the kitchen-dining area to the main buffet, turn the back TV room into dessert land and put all the appetizers with the drinks out on the back porch and tables set out on the lawn under the tent.

I stood in the middle of the house and imagined the flow of a possible 70 people through the house. In the end, only about 40 showed up out of fear of the storm so it was quite comfortable. As fitting for a man who has lived in Ontario, B.C. and Asia, teaching little theatre and English as a Second Language, working as a radiologist, cab driver, professional actor and performer, Uncle Pat’s guest list was quite a motley crew. There were relatives from long ago and far away, some who hadn’t seen each other in three decades. We worried past history

Pet Adoptions

FOldgeR (Id#A178611)

Meet Foldger (ID#A178611), a friendly, upbeat boy looking for his purr-fect match. Foldger is an affectionate grey tabby who loves making new friends. He is incredibly social and will rub his head all over you in hopes of being pet. To show you his appreciation, he’ll meow softly and ‘chirp’ sweet nothings into your ear. Foldger would love a home where he can get plenty of affection from his new family. He loves greeting visitors at the OHS, so come meet him today. His unique looks and bubbly personality are sure to win your heart. For more information on Foldger and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www. ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

might cause some drama between a few people, to which Mom responded, “It isn’t a good Irish Wake without a donnybrook or two.” Grandma was present of course, along with Pat’s sweethearts past and present, a new Canadian from Mexico who was one of his ESL students and even a psychic medium. Three of his co-stars from a recent Ottawa theatre production managed to get here through what sounded like a remake of “Trains, Planes and Automobiles”. A long-time family friend, Janet Stark, performed the services for us. We made her a little platform and affixed a gazebo on top of it. Pat’s widow Christiane decorated with Irish mementos, Pat’s favourite sunflowers and a string of Tibetan prayer flags. The Irish Catholic/Buddhist service was like none I had ever attended before, and I’m

sure none I will ever attend again. We served punch, water and soft drinks before the service, and I only had to take one beer out of someone’s hand, reminding them we had to go to church first, Irish Wake second. Pat’s brother got up with his guitar and started to sing Amazing Grace. But when the wind whipped up again, knocking the deceased’s photo to the ground and whisking the sheet music off into the pasture, he switched to something else. “These Hands” by Hank Snow was the perfect choice. After prayer, readings and shared memories, we passed around the Irish whiskey, had a few toasts and sang a few Irish songs. The wind ripped brother Jack’s music from the stand and caused his guitar to hit and cut his forehead. A gale thrashed at the tents, carried song, tore the strips off the bottom of the Tibetan banner and carried them skyward. It was a dramatic display. A grand finale of a life.

Pat’s photo kept repeatedly falling over and having to be replaced above his urn on the stage. And then suddenly, at the end of the service, calm. A vacuum of energy, like a powerful presence had just left the room with a great door slam. At the end of the service, the medium came up to speak quietly with some of us. She said Pat had indeed been there. She felt he went and kissed his mother on the cheek. Later my mother told the psychic Pat hadn’t had a chance to say goodbye to his 100-year-old mother. They had been extremely close in recent years, living in the same building. Pat even performed a little miracle on his way out. His two remaining brothers, who hadn’t seen each other in 30 years after parting on bad terms, grabbed a guitar and a mic and sang a number of Irish tunes with their sister, my mother. Rest in Peace, Uncle Pat, with the certainty of a life well lived and always remembered.

PET OF THE WEEK

Orphan Kittens at the OHS receive extra care and attention throughout the day. All of the kittens need additional feedings and increased socialization; younger or weaker kittens also need enhanced medical support. Once kittens are stable enough at the OHS, they can be moved into foster care, where they receive ongoing care and nurturing.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258

The OHS has developed program guidelines that follow best practices in shelter medicine to ensure that we are able to provide as much help to these tiny kittens as we can. Currently, 70 kittens are benefiting from this life-saving program. To learn more visit http:// www.ottawahumane.ca/kitten.

The Kitty I was found in an apartment - left behind when the tenants moved out. Then I was adopted from the Humane Society by a lovely violin teacher. But oh boy, did I hate the sound of those violins! I just hid under the furniture with my paws over my ears, wishing the violin students would just leave. Nobody ever saw me. Then the violin teacher became very sick, and I was headed back to the Humane Society! Luckily one of the violin families adopted me, and now that the kids have grown up and left home, I am left with no horrible violins to upset my peace and quiet. You can see how happy I am now. I am a Happy little Torty - (a tortoiseshell/tabby) and my name is just “The Kitty”.
