Edwards’ Orange Lodge celebrates 100 years with makeover, party emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Any centenarian will gain a few wrinkles along the way; the Orange Lodge in Edwards is no exception.

Osgoode Township High School teacher Ryan Campbell has been busy putting the final touches on the building’s makeover in honour of its 100th year on Mitch Owens Road near Yorks Corners Road.

“She’s 100 years old and she’s showing her scars,”

Campbell said. “We’re trying to cover some of them up.”

The small, white building next to the post office has had its floor fixed and new carpet installed, and the main hall has been freshly painted. The outside has also been freshened up, and a sign has been added above the main entrance to identify the otherwise easyto-miss Lodge 2297.

All of this work is leading up to a 100th anniversary celebration on Sunday, Aug. 24 to pay tribute to the families who built the area and to rec-

ognize the significance of the Lodge to the surrounding area.

Orangemen were traditionally Protestant Irish immigrants who were loyal to King William III of Orange, who defeated the army of the Catholic king, James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

Between 1 and 5 p.m., visitors can enjoy a barbecue at the lodge styled on their annual picnics at the Switzer farm – complete with the traditional sausages, beef on a bun and ice cream.

“These guys loved ice cream,” Campbell said. “I think it was a real novelty.”

The open house will include information panels and a documentary about the lodge that, by default, also includes a bit of Edwards’ heritage. “You end up telling the story of Edwards in a way, because the families were so interwoven,” said Campbell, who has been researching the lodge’s history for about two years.

History never far away or forgotton in village of Edwards Continued from the front

“In some ways this was the closest thing they had to a community centre.�

HISTORY LESSON

usually averaged about 12 members at any given time.

Today, the lodge has eight members, and Campbell is definitely the youngest. He joined the lodge several years ago in an effort to get in touch with his own heritage, as his grandfather had been a member there since the 1950s.

As the building’s 100th anniversary ticked closer, he began to research the organization’s involvement in the community.

He uncovered much more than just his own family’s history; the city dweller also began to feel at home in his adopted township, where he also teaches.

He’s also been turning up artifacts members had forgotten were housed in the lodge, including one bible with a

tragic story.

An inscription in this bible – older than the building it lives in – is from Andrew Curren and his wife, thanking the Edwards Orangemen for their support in their time of need.

A documentary Campbell plans to screen on Aug. 24 fills in the back story: early on Christmas day 1912, Curren and his wife went out to hitch up the horses, leaving their children to sleep a little longer.

They returned to find their farmhouse engulfed in flames, and burning so quickly they could do little but stand and watch it burn.

Three children died in the fire, ages 13, 9 and 2, and the Curren family left the township for the city soon after.

Curren was a dedicated Or-

angeman, and his fellows donated $20 to the family to help with expenses.

Only the bible and an archived newspaper article remain to hint at the local tragedy.

Campbell said these stories need to live on, even if the building doesn’t last forever. “Interpret the Orangemen as you like, but don’t forget about it,� he said, referring to the perception that Orangemen are anti-Catholic.

He said in rural areas like Edwards, where it was predominantly Protestant anyway, the anti-Catholic rhetoric from the urban centres wasn’t needed. “More than anything it was a place for these men to get together, to get away from the farm and the wife and kids,�

Campbell said.

It was more a political organization than a charitable one, although its sister group, the co-ed True Blue Association, was built more on charitable and social activities.

Today, the Edwards Orange Lodge is much more interested in charitable work than politics.

For the past three years, the group has hosted a threepitch tournament in Metcalfe in support of testicular cancer research, which has raised $1,000 to date.

They also regularly collect small change as part of the Dimes for Dialysis campaign, which is donated to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital’s dialysis unit.

The lodge is located at 8922 Mitch Owens Rd.

0703.R0012780149

Campbell has been working to collect old photographs, memorabilia and meeting minutes for the past two years.

He’s spent many weekends painting, sanding and fixing up the building.

Campbell is hoping to tell the stories of the Mitchell, Quinn, McKeown, Bradley, Waddell, McCooeye, Harrison, James, Dancy and Patterson families who helped shape the lodge and the larger community.

It was an Orangeman who donated the land on York’s

Corners for the park in Edwards, as well as the land for the church. “It was more than a meeting place,� he said. “It has housed town hall meetings, teen dances, euchre and crokinole parties. It was also used by the Edwards Anglican Church to host communal suppers.�

Edwards was growing at the turn of the 20th century, thanks to the Ottawa-New York railway that cut through the town. In 1898, one of the lodge’s founding members donated land on the north side of Mitch Owens to build a train station.

In June of 1914, the lodge was built. It was never the busiest lodge in the world; Campbell said the records show membership peaked at about 30 men, and regular meetings

News - A Manotick man has been fined $2,500 for illegally dredging shore lands along the St. Lawrence River.

The man pleaded guilty to unlawfully dredging shore lands or causing shore lands to be dredged contrary to the Public Lands Act and its associated regulations.

The court heard that on June 18, 2013, a conservation officer on marine patrol in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands observed heavy equipment removing

gravel and rock. The activity was an attempt to modify a boathouse, and was taking place below the high watermark.

The officer subsequently determined that the work was carried out without a permit.

Justice of the Peace Ernest Parsons heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Brockville, on August 6, 2014.

The public is reminded that dredging or filling shore land is prohibited unless the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has issued a work

News - Organizers of an allcandidates information session at the Osgoode Youth Association hope to inform young voters in the lead-up to this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal election.

All but one of Osgoode Wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidates have confirmed their attendance at the youth centre on Tuesday, Aug. 26 to chat with voters and explain their platforms.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a debate; the free event will simply offer candidates a chance to engage with their youngest voters and answer any questions they might have.

Outgoing Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson will kick off the evening at 7 p.m. with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;politics 101â&#x20AC;&#x2122; session explaining how municipal elections work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake for voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect on a number of levels,â&#x20AC;? said O-YA director Nicole McKerracher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the outgoing councillor, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been through the ranks including the role of mayor.â&#x20AC;?

Thompson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encourage young voters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the even younger future voters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to get involved in their communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can bring the youth to

COUN. DOUG THOMPSON

a drop-in centre, but they have to give back to the community,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want them to get that even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not old enough to vote, they should be out meeting the candidates and developing a good relationship with the successful candidate.â&#x20AC;?

As for the council hopefuls, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make sure they know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting into. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think by and large they have an idea of what it is to be a city councillor representing a rural community, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to outline the roles and responsibilities, some of the things people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a city councillor would do.â&#x20AC;?

That includes helping residents find the social assistance they need, and making tough behind-the-scene decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always that decision that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work out, and there can be long-lasting ramifications,â&#x20AC;? he said.

So far, candidates Tom Daw-

son, Kim Sheldrick, George Darouze, Jean JohnstonMcKitterick, Bruce Faulkner, Liam Maguire and Davis Jermacans have confirmed they will be at the event. As of press time candidate Bob Masaro had not responded.

Each candidate will get some time to address the audience, talk about their platform and discuss youth issues in the ward.

The youth centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program co-ordinator Carley Scharf is a young voter herself, and the idea for an information night came from her own quest for knowledge as the municipal election on Oct. 27 ticks closer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? said the 20-yearold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can read it in the paper, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in political lingo.

(So I thought), what if we can bring it down to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level.â&#x20AC;?

She said students learn about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political system in elementary school and then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it into practice until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 18 or older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping (the event) clears up some of that misunderstanding that a lot of us have,â&#x20AC;? Sharf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to give that opportunity for education.â&#x20AC;?

The night is geared to voters aged 18 to 30, but McKerracher said the event is open for anyone looking to meet the candidates and learn more about the election. The youth centre is located at 5479 Osgoode Main St. R0012850040-0821

News - Scott Buell canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to car shows right now, so his family is bringing a car show to him.

The 45-year-old Metcalfe resident was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer in May, and has now learned the cancer has spread to his liver, bowels and stomach. Doctors have given him three years to live.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undergoing intense chemotherapy at the moment to slow the cancer down and, hopefully, rid him of it entirely.

The treatments have tired him out, so he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to make the rounds to his favourite summer car shows as he usually does.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why his family has decided to bring a car show right to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can go around, look at the cars, talk to people,â&#x20AC;? said his wife Robyn Buell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just basically having a fun day. We want to get my husband out there to enjoy it.â&#x20AC;?

On Saturday, Aug. 23 guests can come to the Metcalfe Fairgrounds to check out cars of all ages between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The event is a fundraiser to help pay for those day to day expenses not covered under health care: transportation to the Queensway Carleton Hospital, parking fees and even some of his chemotherapy drugs.

It will include a silent auction, raffle and 50/50 draw, with Ottawa Senators tickets,

original art, gift baskets, free massages and restaurant gift cards up for grabs. Tickets for the raffle and 50/50 are three for $5 or 10 for $10.

Proceeds from a barbecue lunch will also add to the coffers to help the Buells get by without their breadwinner at work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was the sole supporter of our family and all of a sudden heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting there was a two-month delay before his disability payments began.

But Robyn said raising money is secondary to making sure her husband has a good time.

She and their two children purposely planned the event on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good weekâ&#x20AC;? between chemo treatments, so he can have as much energy as possible to talk to the car owners, get more information about his favourite cars, and spend time with his family.

Makeover to support cancer patients, humane society Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Josée-Lucie Bastien won’t be sad to say goodbye to her long, black hair this week.

“I’m very excited for somebody to wear my hair,” said the owner of the Pedicure Stop in Manotick Station. “Someone who’s going through hell can

have a good day of smiling.”

The foot care specialist will host her own day of smiles on Aug. 23 with a fundraising barbecue at her salon at 6150 Mitch Owens Rd. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., guests can check out Bastien’s new look, as she’ll have chopped off more than two feet of hair to end up with a drastically different style.

had been held in tiny cages stacked on top of each other, so the dogs were peeing and defecating on each other until they were rescued.

“I went to help and I cried the whole time,” Bastien said.

“Animal cruelty just breaks my heart.”

The motivation behind her makeover is even more personal.

“In 1997 I lost my grandmother, who was everything to me. She had cancer, and when I saw her with no hair it really bothered me,” Bastien said. “I said some day I would do it in her name.”

Bastien said she hopes her hair can be made into two wigs: one for a woman and another for a child.

On Aug. 23, guests can bring their cats and dogs for their own mini-makeover from Amazing Looks, and Bastien has gathered a number of prizes – some worth more than $250 – to be raffled off.

Prizes include rounds of golf at Emerald Links Golf and Country Club, gift certificates for beauty procedures, pet supplies gift baskets and a weekend away at Sleepy Cedars Family Camping.

Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5.

Staff at the Pedicure Stop will also offer nail polish and designs for visitors.

Coun. Doug Thompson said he has come to know Bastien since she opened her shop a few years ago, and he has been impressed with her interest in serving the local community.

“She’s a very hard worker and very community oriented,” Thompson said. “It’s

While those 27 inches will head to Locks of Love to make wigs, the money she raises in support of her makeover will go to the Ottawa Humane Society.

Bastien decided to support the animal shelter after she heard of a puppy mill that had been seized by the RCMP in Quebec.

She said the puppies

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not stop the train

P

remier Kathleen Wynne was in town recently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel.

She also re-affirmed the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge.

Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government.

The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Watson is seeking re-election this fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa.

The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to OrlĂŠans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become

more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an efficient mass transit system.

With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which would amount to around $975 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be treated differently, but the city and province canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent.

Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

No shortage of advice for road warriors

I

n the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors.

We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much.

The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowledge makes us more patient and safer drivers.

There has also been good work

done on roadside picnic areas, havens for people wanting to save money on restaurant food or simply wanting a bathroom break.

Where things look worse is in the area of local economies. It is depressing to see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;closedâ&#x20AC;? sign on oncefavourite restaurants, gas stations and motels. Along the highway and in the small towns between here and the Manitoba border, there are more boarded-up buildings every year, with only chain operations seeming

to thrive.

To be fair, there are some towns along the way that look like they are doing all right. The stores and restaurants are newly-painted and the grass on the baseball diamond has been cut. There is still some pulp and paper activity and the growth in mining brings hope. And of course the scenery, except for the odd stretch west of Thunder Bay, is compelling.

Mind you, there are always some stretches of boredom in a two- or three-day drive. This is when we are grateful for the folks who write the signs that are supposed to help us with our driving. They tell you not to drink and drive, as if the thought had never occurred to you. They also tell you to stop texting and just drive, which is more germane. They tell DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES Richard Burns ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST 3HARON (OLDEN /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

you that LARGE VEHICLES NEED MORE ROOM, another â&#x20AC;&#x153;aha!â&#x20AC;? moment. However, our favourite this year, first glimpsed near Wahnapitae east of Sudbury, is: DRIVE ACCORDING TO CONDITIONS. Really? Two images spring to mind. One is of a guy going 150 km/ h in pitch dark, dense fog and pouring rain who suddenly sees the sign and thinks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! I never thought of that. Better slow down. And perhaps turn my headlights on.â&#x20AC;?

The other image is of the inevitable committee meeting where this slogan was adopted. The members would gather in a windowless boardroom with bottles of water and try to come up with just the right wording, one that would be easily understood, translate well and not be offensive to anyone. Possible options would be flashed in PowerPoint on a large screen, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use Steering Wheel to Turn Carâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employ Brakes to

Slow Down.â&#x20AC;?

Faith groups ramp up Capital Pride participation Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Reverend Ross Hammond has been marching in Ottawa’s Capital Pride parade for at least 10 years.

For the past three, he’s had his rural parish alongside him.

Wearing his clerical collar and a rainbow stole, as many as 25 parishioners have joined him on the march downtown, which this year takes place Sunday, Aug. 24.

Hammond has led the congregation at St. James the Apostle Angli-

Ottawa Valley Tours

can Church in Manotick since 2010, and every year more of his parishioners have joined him and his husband Albert to show their support.

And in 2013, his parish council voted unanimously to officially march as the St. James congregation.

“I said, if we make it formal, we can take the church banner with us.

And the discussion was basically, well, why wouldn’t we?” Hammond said.

That kind of blasé response to becoming an affirming house of wor-

TM

ship is more commonplace than ever; the perception that all faith groups are like the infamous gay marriage picketers in Kansas is just not accurate.

“Last year, in our little part of the parade, there were Anglicans, a Jewish group, a Catholic group and a Muslim group,” Hammond said.

Reaching out to marginalized factions of society is a big part of his congregation’s Christian calling – and since he’s gay, this seems to be the group on which they’ve alighted.

And there’s certainly room for their support.

“There are people out there who have been ostracized and shunned and damaged by their religious community,” Hammond said.

Faith group members participate in Capital Pride’s 2013 parade.

“They look at a bunch of obvious Christians marching, holding signs that say ‘To love is to be connected to God’ ... that sends a message to

a person of a sexual minority that they’re not excluded.”

Spectators still surprised to see churches on parade: Hammond Continued from page 12

Despite a steady rise in the number of faith groups taking part in Pride, Hammond said there are still people out there who don’t realize religious groups can be just as affirming and welcoming as other organizations.

“As the church begins to march, it’s not a cheer you get for the gyrating bodies, but there is a distinct cheer for us.

There are enough people on the side who are surprised,” Hammond said.

“And every year, at least one of our group will have someone from the sidelines make their way into the parade to say thank you.”

His congregation is supportive overall, but Hammond recognizes he’ll never have 100 per cent unanimity on the issue – and that’s perfectly fine.

“One person said to me, ‘I’m very fond of you and Albert, but my concern is that by supporting the parade as an organization we are supporting everything that goes with that parade.’ And that was a le-

gitimate concern,” Hammond said.

He wants everyone in his congregation to feel comfortable talking out the issue, and their concerns about how the church supports the LGBT community.

“We want everybody, including the person who said the parade is a bad idea, to feel like our church is a safe place.”

Every year, there are more affirming churches and places of worship coming on board.

The United Church of Canada seems to be leading the way on this, having developed a bureaucratic process to become an officially affirming congregation.

Affirm United requires an educational process, according to its website, that asks its churches to “reflect on what it means to be inclusive,” create an action plan, commit to the national affirmation program and implement an inclusive marriage policy.

The process concludes with a celebration service to officially declare the church a welcoming place for all.

we marched under that banner,” said Caroline John, a member of Faith House.

The house has room for six residents, who generally stay two years and are expected to be queer affirming, John said.

Right now, the house has Buddhist, Unitarian, Christian/ Hindu and agnostic residents who all believe that religious organizations have a role in supporting sexual minorities.

“People come from all walks of life, and you constantly run into people who have repelled religion out of their lives because it’s been a contradiction to them or a negative source in their life,” John said. “And that’s just not how it’s supposed to be.”

Hammond said the presence of religious groups in Pride needs to continue to grow – not just to promote the idea of affirming congregations, but to continue to combat homophobia altogether.

“The day Albert and I can walk down any street and not worry about holding hands is the day I don’t need to march in the parade,” he said.

Massive pepper grinder unveiled Algonquin cabinetmaking students hope to make Guinness Book of World Record Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A group of cabinet making and furniture technician students from Algonquin College are hoping to make the Guinness Book of World Records with a pepper grinder.

Rod Dagenais, 53, was one of the group of nine students tasked with

crafting the record breaking kitchen utensil.

In the fall, students were asked to volunteer to work on their own time to design and build a nearly fivemetre, working pepper grinder to compete against the current record holder, a three-metre grinder that sits in a restaurant in Etobicoke.

Rod Dagenais said the group sacrificed their Friday nights from October until August to finish the grinder.

“It was really a team effort,” he said, adding the classmates that ranged in age from 18 to 53 became very close.

Student craftsmen include Eric Beuman, James Brint, Andrew Carver, Liam Cluff-Clyburne, Rodrigue Heads Up for Healthier Brains

Dagenais, Jihad Farhat, Cameron Larsen, Spencer Olivastri and Declan Thomas.

The final design was approved by the professors and used 24 wood splints that were smoothed out with a lathe.

The grinding mechanism was built by welding students.

The grinder was unveiled in college’s construction and trades excellence building where it was mounted on two wheeled carts, so that students could show off the working pepper grinding mechanism.

It will be moved to the hospitality building.

“Our students rose to the challenges of the project. We were only really part of the project for safety and mentoring. I am pleased and impressed with the workmanship and dedication,” instructor John McKinlay-Key said in a press release.

Rod Dagenais demonstrates how Algonquin College’s new fivemetre pepper grinder works. The college unveiled the grinder on Aug. 14, where it was measured and submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

Interested businesses must request by mail the application package for this competition before end of business day, Friday, September 5, 2014 and must quote the following information: RFP# 2014-118 Metcalfe Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management, LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5 Please note: An application fee of $100 must be included with your request in order to receive an application package. Make the cheque or money order payable to the LCBO only.

In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Procurement and Contract Management a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday, September 19, 2014, 3 p.m. local time. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be returned unopened.

Ghost bike fitting tribute for tragic accident

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - For Meg Dussault’s family and friends, the spot where she died while riding her bicycle is the apex of both their pain and their peace.

The corner of Bank Street and Riverside Drive, arguably the most well-tended patch of pavement around, has become a place of reflection since Dussault, 56, was killed when a cement truck collided with her while turning right at the intersection more than a year ago, on July 30.

It’s a spot her husband, Paddy Dussault, knows well. The couple’s home is only a couple minutes away, near Billing’s Estate, so he has to pass by the site of his wife’s death almost any time he wants to go somewhere. But instead of hiding away at home or find-

ing a different route, Dussault finds himself drawn to the spot and to the improvised monument that pays respect to his late wife.

Dussault didn’t put the monument there, but the ghost bike, a type of tribute that mysteriously appears thanks to the quick work of strangers, has become an important place of solace and focus for his grieving.

“No matter which direction, I put my window down and I say, ‘Hi honey, I love you and I miss you every day,’” he said.

Driving by was how he first discovered the memorial.

“I thought it was a generous gesture from this anonymous ‘group,’ ghost bikes, to have done it,” Dussault said. “It kind of ... Not kind of, it does preserve the memory of Meg for a lot of people.”

mourning processes, but on the other hand, the surprise memorials could do more harm than good.

“We’re in a delicate balance because we have some people who want their relatives to be remembered and we have other people who don’t and in the middle is the community ghost bike thing,” he said.

No one group or person claims responsibility for the ghost bikes, which have become a phenomenon across North America and the rest of the world, Wilkinson said.

“The one thing I know is that it is exceptionally organic in nature,” he said. He added that’s the same tact most people would like the city to take

when it comes to addressing long-term plans for the ghost bike memorials, which currently number about four in Ottawa.

“Not only is it a memorial to Meg’s memory, you hope that it causes people in both cars and bikes to pause and think about their safety (and) slowing down,” Dussault said.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Paddy Dussault, whose wife, Meg Dussault, died one year ago when a truck struck her bicycle at Bank Street and Riverside Drive, decorates her ghost bike memorial one year after her death.

It’s a place he goes to celebrate holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and Canada Day – lovingly tending to potted hibiscus, sweeping away dead leaves, repainting the bike, adding a new rosary. Seasonal decorations like a Winterlude Inuksuk drew a lot of attention, Dussault said.

“It’s a memorial not unlike a gravestone in a cemetery, but there is something a little more joyous about this,” Dussault said.

He’s not alone. Meg Dussault’s three closest friends – pals from grade school who always stayed in touch – agree the bike has helped them find a way to face the tragedy head on and work to move past it.

“To me, standing here, I’m a little bit baffled why I can look at where she was killed and know how violent it was, yet it brings me peace,” said Kathy Riley. “I can’t explain it, but we all feel very peaceful when we come here.”

“It really is like an aura,” said another friend, Tina Belanger. “I feel like I’m close to Meg when I’m here.

“I don’t have a sense of tragedy when I’m here and I feel that’s really strange.”

Seemingly more so than other roadside memorials, the stark white bikes have an impact on passersby.

“They are really profound, quite visual and they get the point across,” said Rob Wilkinson, who runs the city’s road safety program. He often finds himself mediating discussions about traffic tragedies and the memorials that follow them.

Ghost bikes are a gamble, Wilkinson said. They can serve a critical role in people’s

PREPARATION

Chop the rice cakes and set 250 ml (1 cup) aside.

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, pureed strawberries, orange liqueur (if using) and chopped rice cakes.

In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The ďŹ rst of which was the opening OF ,ANSDOWNE 0ARK &OR ME THE ISSUE OF WHAT TO DO ABOUT ,ANSDOWNE IS ONE ) HAVE been working on since I was ďŹ rst elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the FRUITS OF THIS LABOUR AS OUR #&, TEAM TOOK THE lELD ON *ULY TH AND OUR 5RBAN 0ARK OPENED TO THE PUBLIC ON !UGUST IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME &OR TOO LONG THIS SITE WAS an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is ďŹ nally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND OUR WORK IS NOT YET DONE BUT SEEING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer.

The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those ASIDE TO ACT ON A PLAN WITH A lXED PRICE CONTRACT THAT IS SEEING THE CENTRE OF OUR CITY TRANSFORMED AND BRINGING THE REST OF OUR CITY WITHIN REACH OF TRANSIT EXPANSION (AVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE ,24 TUNNEL ALONGSIDE 0REMIER +ATHLEEN 7YNNE AND -0 2OYAL 'ALIPEAU WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR ME 7E SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT #ITY (ALL TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS THE BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost METRES OF THE EXCAVATED WEST PORTAL REMINDED ME JUST HOW MUCH OF GAME changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better.

It has been a busy summer but one that I look back on fondly. I hope that yours too was an enjoyable one and that we can get a few more weeks of summer weather before the leaves turn.

Pickling and preserving time a busy time for Mary and family

T

he air was heavy in the summer kitchen. Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers in a pot of hot water, filled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand.

It was pickling and preserving time on the farm in Renfrew County.

The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was “putting down” would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next crop of produce was ready for picking.

The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a good crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherries from

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves.

The crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us.

My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on the action that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the sum-

mer kitchen.

“Putting down” was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dishpan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked.

Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for “putting down,” and to leave the smaller ones which would grow into a good length before you knew it.

I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into

the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean -- not a handful at a time, but one bean after another Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry.

Mother fed them into big sealers, poured in the boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days – not one day, not three days, but two days.

Mother said the timing was important according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter.

The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout.

Pickling and preserving

went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away.

But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork.

There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food

to put on the table.

Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family.

We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand.

And when I saw that swinging shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact, we were very rich indeed.

Greely soccer star heads to Real Madrid camp Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Sports – Every soccer player worth his cleats dreams of one day playing in the World Cup. Greely teen Haydn Bechthold is closer to realizing that dream as he spends eight days at the Real Madrid training facility in Spain this week, learning with some of the top youth players in the world.

The 16-year-old Ottawa Fury Academy forward was scouted for the prestigious spot last month, at a New Jersey game in the SuperY League, of which his Fury team is a part.

Fury lost, but Bechthold played well. After the game, a man he didn’t know shook his hand and complimented his ability on the field.

Bechthold thought nothing of it.

The next week, his coach, Christian Hoefler, told him

the man was Luis Mendoza, director of coaching for the Real Madrid Select Program.

Mendoza had personally invited Bechthold to join about 35 other elite youth players in Spain between Aug. 16 and 24.

“I was sleeping on the bus, and I thought, ‘was I dreaming that?’” Bechthold said.

“You never really think you’re going to go to Madrid.”

The blonde-haired teen left on Saturday, Aug. 16 to join his peers from US, Mexico and Brazil in Spain. He is the only Canadian in the group.

The group will follow an intense schedule of advanced technical and tactical training, on-field problem solving, performance evaluations and preseason preparation.

They’ll also play two matches: one against the Real Madrid Academy team, and another against the Rayo Vallecano youth academy.

Possibly the best part is the chance to watch matches

between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid - meaning they’ll see football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in action.

That alone is a dream come true for the teen, who watched nearly every single World Cup game this summer.

Bechthold said being headhunted for this opportunity left him a bit gobsmacked while he rushed to get to Madrid with less than a week’s notice.

“It feels like (Mendoza) made a dream team, and it’s weird to say I made it,” he said. “I was pretty happy.”

Ottawa Fury coach Christian Hoefler said he’s not surprised his student was offered this opportunity.

“He’s extremely versatile and extremely dynamic. He’s one who plays very simple and quick,” said Hoefler, who has been coaching the teen for about a year.

“I wasn’t shocked (when Mendoza chose him). I know he has the ability and I needed

to get him exposed.”

Of course, one look at Bechthold’s heritage tells you everything you need to know about his potential for greatness.

His grandfather was Robert Kelly, one of the best soccer players in Canada in the 1950s and early 1960s. Kelly captained the Canadian AllStars and the Ontario All-Stars against teams from across the globe, including Mexico, Leningrad and Bermuda.

After playing with Ulster United SC in Toronto, he made history when he was traded for $1,500 to play for the Italia SC. Those skills have proven undeniably hereditary, as they have carried on to both of Bechthold’s sisters, as well: his oldest sister has left for Converse College in South Carolina to play varsity soccer on a scholarship, and his younger sister plays for the Ottawa Fury FC Ontario Player Development League.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Sixteen-year-old Haydn Bechthold practices between the makeshift soccer nets in his Greely backyard on Aug. 13 before heading to Madrid, Spain.

Bechthold said his dream is to play professionally, just like his grandfather – and, at this point, he doesn’t much care where.

“Any team that pays me, I’ll play,” he laughed. He said he would prefer Europe; England or Germany, if they’ll take him.

“I want to be like (my grandfather),” Bechthold said.

“I want to play professionally to say there were two in the family.”

He’s well on his way to making good on that dream; coaches and scouts from around the world are expected to look in on the training program while he’s there.

“I just want to be seen and say I played in Madrid against the best kids,” he said.

United girls notch quarter-final win Greely keeper scores winning goal in shootout Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - From scoring to goalkeeping, Greely resident Mollie Eriksson doesn’t sweat the challenge of switching roles from one moment to the next.

That’s one of the reasons her 13- and 14-year-old teammates on the Ottawa South United Force Black 2000 raced in her direction after she helped them win the quarter-final game against the Burlington Bayhawks on Saturday, Aug. 9.

Moments after scoring what would be the winning point in the penalty shootout in the high-stakes game, the 14-yearold successfully defended her goal.

“When I was taking the shot there was a lot of pressure because I was so nervous,” she said, adding that she was also trying to shoot against a friend whom she plays with on the provincial team.

“I want her to do well, but I want to win.”

There is also a lot on the line since the U14 Ottawa South United players are the defending champions after winning the Ontario Cup last year.

“In a sense it was like clash of the titans,” said Eriksson’s mother, Tracy Vaillancourt, who is a technical coach with the Ottawa South United club.

“It’s really nice to see two competent keepers doing great.”

The teams tied the score 1-1 during the game, but the penalty shootout gave the Ottawa South United team the opportunity to advance to semifinal play, which happens at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility next week.

The penalty shootout was a nail-biter. While parents and

supporters cheered on players throughout regular play, the shootout was a silent experience.

“You could hear a pin drop,” Eriksson said.

When it was Eriksson’s turn, she kicked hard to the right of the net-minder.

“When the ref whistled, we all just sprinted towards each other and there was a big dog pile, and everyone was laughing and smiling,” she said. “We’ve been working so hard forever and we all had our minds set on this one goal.”

It can be a gamble allowing keepers to make a shot in this situation because if they are unsuccessful, it can derail their confidence in defending their net after such a setback.

“I think the gamble paid off,” said Eriksson’s mom, Tracy Vaillancourt. “When I saw her score the goal I felt really confident about what she was going to do next. I had a good feeling that the adrenaline of that suc-

cess was going to translate into making a nice save on the next kick.”

Her daughter didn’t have time to celebrate after scoring.

Burlington had one last shot and chance to stay in the game, but the Ottawa South United goaltender dove to the left and kept it from nearing the net.

“I just had to do a low dive,” Eriksson said, adding that she and her teammates really celebrated at that point.

“I think the semifinals will be cutthroat as will the finals,” Vaillancourt said, adding the four remaining teams are formidable.

“These are the best of the best so it’s going to be very good.”

If they win the Ontario Cup, they will go on to compete at the national level in Prince Edward Island later this fall.

Eriksson is no stranger to fierce competition on the soccer field.

She earned a place on the

And in January, she became the youngest keeper, at the age of 13, to train in the Regional Exceleration Centre out of Toronto, which is made up of toplevel U20 women players.

Eriksson doesn’t plan to let

the pressure get to her.

“I just like to focus on the game and think in the moment, just let it all happen,” she said.

“So if you live in the moment of the game, you enjoy it more and then you concentrate and you play better.”

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

News – Ryann Seiler and Sophia Villeneuve drop to their hands and knees and peer through their protective facemasks into the pitch black ahead.

They shimmy forward each carrying an axe under a pretend cloud of smoke, keeping less than an arms-length apart as they look for a baby they must rescue.

After a few minutes in the dark, the 15 year olds emerge from the structure carrying the doll. Their instructors Marie-Aude Grandmaitre and Shannon Gobey follow close behind wearing smiles on their faces.

“Rescuing the baby was fun even though I missed it a couple of times, but she was there to help me,” Seiler said, referring to Villeneuve, her training partner.

Teamwork was a huge component of the skills that 24 young women between the ages of 15 and 19 developed Aug. 11 to 15 while climbing an aerial ladder that rose high in the sky, forcibly entering doorways and conducting search and rescue training at the Ottawa Fire Services’ training division building on InERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND dustrial Avenue.

Modelled after a similar camp in New York state, the program is designed to give young October she was hired as a volunteer firefighter women the opportunity to test drive a career with the North Gower Fire Department.

Villeneuve and Seiler hope to follow in her that typically attracts more men.

“We’re still around two per cent.

That’s still a very low number,” said one of the program’s founders, acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt, a Britannia resident who works out of a station in Riverside South.

“The first day (of the training) I Wednesday, August 27 knew what I wanted to do,” the Kars City Council Meeting resident said. “Camp really opened my 10 a.m., Andrew S. Haydon Hall eyes to what firefighting truly is.”

She went on to successfully complete Algonquin College’s pre-service firefighter training program, and last

Her firefighting partner didn’t know what to expect when she arrived at the training facility.

“But I really love it, and I also love the fact that you get to help people during firefighting,” said Villeneuve, who lives in Riverside South.

“Rescuing the baby today, we got to experience that.”

Her family is very supportive of her dream, while others expressed their doubts.

“Some people think I’m not strong enough, but I’m going to prove them wrong,” she said.

“I think I am.”

Each girl who participates in the program often learns something invaluable about themselves, their strengths and their ability to work together and overcome challenges.

“Did you know the most important thing for me in this camp is I watch these girls the first day, they’re nervous, they’re shy, they’re scared and by the end of the week their confidence has just gone through the roof?” Hine-Schmidt said.

Watching the teens eagerly await their next challenge, Gobey said the camp is an ideal way to motivate a next generation of young women to find passion in something, just as she did.

“It may not be firefighting for some of them, but just helping them find their direction,” she said. “It really meant the world to me finding what I was meant to do.”

Change Byward Market system: artisans emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson was already hearing from concerned residents a day before he officially launched his reelection campaign.

Artisans at the Art in Strathcona Park event on Aug.

“People used to come because it was so unique,” said jewelry maker Lisa Wilson, who said she joined the Byward Market Standholders Association to try and change the system. “Now we R0012846705

don’t get Ottawa people coming because most of the stuff comes out of containers.”

The peak market season between May and the end of August separates arts and crafts importers from artisans, with handmade arts and crafts located around the market building and importers on York Street. But between the Tuesday after Labour Day to the first Monday in November, all categories of arts and crafts vendors are mixed together.

Every day at 9 a.m., vendors take part in a daily lottery to be assigned a stand, meaning vendors selling handmade items can end up beside vendors selling inexpensive, imported goods from other countries. “It’s not a local market anymore,” Wilson said. “We can’t compete.”

She said she’d like the city and the market association to change the system so that local artisans are grouped together in one section, and the importers are grouped in another for the entire market season.

She was backed up by can-

“I’ve heard from one position and I’ll go back and see if there are fundamental challenges we can overcome.”

Cyclists saddle up for fifth ride supporting African grandmothers adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - The Grassroot Grannies are preparing for their ďŹ fth Ride to Turn the Tide cycling event taking place from Sept. 3 to 5.

The two-and-a-half day ride from Stittsville to Almonte, Perth, Merrickville, Metcalfe

and back has raised more than $150,000 over the past four years, and the grannies hope to add another $45,000 this year.

The ride was ďŹ rst started

by Grassroot Grannies member Nancy Hough. An avid bicyclist, Hough met with a pair of women from Victoria, B.C. while cycling in Cuba in

R0012846679

2007.

The Victoria women had begun their own cycling event in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign which supports African grandmothers looking after their grandchildren.

Hough was inspired by the cycling event, and returned to Ottawa hoping to start something similar with help from the Grassroot Grannies.

Now, the Ride to Turn the Tide is one of the Grassroot Granniesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; largest fundraisers for the foundation, alongside their annual Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day plant sale.

The funds they raise are part of the $19.5 million raised by Canadians for the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign. The Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign is a response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic that killed millions of parents in Africa, leaving grandmothers as the primary caregivers to millions of children.

The money helps to provide grandmothers with some basic needs like food, housing

People to know, places to go, things to try, taste or buy!

Ping pong tourney seeks sleek paddle designs Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A contest is underway to come up with the official ping pong paddle for this year’s ultimate charity ping pong event.

In its fifth year, the Verdun Windows and Doors Ottawa Charity Ping Pong will take place on Oct. 3 at SpinBin in the ByWard Market. In an effort to customize the event even more this year, organizers are seeking a new design for the paddles used in the tournament.

“We’re really thrilled to offer the opportunity to have Ottawa artists play a key role in our charity event,” said Jessica Whiting, lead organizer for the event.

“There are so many talented people in our city and we

can’t wait to see what designs they come up with.”

The organization introduced the paddle contest last year.

The contest is calling on anyone artistically inclined to create a design for a table tennis paddle.

The winning design will be printed by PaddleYou, an online table tennis paddle design company, on official tournament paddles and handed out to contestants at the competition, as well as be handed out as some door prizes at the event.

The winning artist will receive two free tickets to the event and two official Ottawa Charity Ping Pong paddles.

All designs must be submitted to ottawacharitypingpong@gmail.com by 5 p.m. on Sept. 5.

Anyone interested in participating in the event can register at ottawacharitypingpong.com. All funds raised will support four local charities -- Do it for Daron, The Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home, and Christie Lake Kids.

Last year the organization raised $26,000. The money is split evenly between all four charities.

All skill levels are welcome and each contestant will get the opportunity to play at least two games.

Registration for the competition is $50.

More information about the tournament and the charities the event is supporting is available at ottawacharitypingpong.com.

The ping pong craziness begins at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3.

Have you noticed allergies occurring, are you sneezing even when the windows are closed? This could be a result of a dusty and pollen filled venting system.

When our vents collect dust they also invite dust mites and other pests to take root. These often forgotten pests can be the cause of many ailments and reactions.

O-Train extension to airport could impact service to south Ottawa Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - An O-Train extension to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport could reduce service to the city’s southern suburbs, says a member of the executive of the Findlay Creek Community Association.

“There are limitations to (extending a line to the airport) within the confines of the technology that the O-Train uses,” said Brad Nixon, who oversees the association’s transportation portfolio.

The O-Train operates on a single track and the extension would require additional sections of double tracks, allowing trains to pass by each other, he said.

“There ends up being a limit on how frequent the trains could run if, when they get south, when they’re branching to the airport or branching to Findlay Creek,” he said. “There potentially would be not as good service to Findlay Creek and Riverside South in order to accommodate running trains to the airport.”

The proposed southern extension from Greenboro Station to Bowesville at Riverside South would feature three new stops at South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville. A new stop at Walk-

ley along the existing line is also proposed.

Projected ridership numbers to these communities are much higher than future estimated ridership numbers to and from the airport.

There would be an estimated 3,300 boardings during peak hours per day from Bowesville to Bayview in 2031, compared to about 115 to 330 trips along the airport line during peak times each day that same year, according to a draft presentation on the study that members of various community associations, including Nixon, and other groups saw on July 10.

Adding a line to the airport would ease traffic congestion during peak times and enhance economic development, according to a report overview.

“My personal opinion is that it’s fine to study how we could go to the airport – whether it’s feasible or not – but I don’t think that we should be sacrificing frequency to the southern suburbs in order to serve less potential ridership at the airport,” said Nixon. “The percentage of people (taking transit) today in Findlay Creek, I think, is quite small compared to other neighbourhoods in the city just because our service has been poor,” he said. “The O-Train extension is really what it’s going to take to make it competitive.”

from within the community, Nixon said. Public open houses on the study are expected to take place this fall.

SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENTS

FILE

A possible extension of the OTrain to the Ottawa International Airport could impact train frequency to a proposed new stop at Leitrim.

Nixon applauds a service that would provide service every eight minutes.

“With the extension of the O-Train, we would have rapid-transit service very close to our community and that would bring residents really quickly, roughly 15 to 20 minutes, to get from Leitrim Station right into almost downtown,” he said.

Though the O-Train wouldn’t come right into Findlay Creek, the stop at the Leitrim Park and Ride would be close enough that OC Transpo buses would be able to run a frequent shuttle service

In the short term, getting to and from Findlay Creek is becoming incrementally better in large part due to infrastructure projects now underway and improved frequency of public transit, Nixon said.

Come September, bus service on Route 144 during the morning and afternoon rush hours will be ramped up from 30 minutes to every 15 minutes.

“That’s really going to be a gamechanger in the south end of the city,” Nixon said. “I would say we’ve been underserviced. There haven’t been many improvements to the bus service since we moved here (in 2007) and the community has gotten significantly larger.”

Nixon has also been advocating for additional improvements, including the addition of sidewalks and cycling lanes along Bank Street, which is a major route into Findlay Creek. But the Bank Street widening study, which was approved by council earlier this year, is included in phase two of the city’s Transportation Master Plan, which means those improvements won’t come until

at least 2020 to 2025.

“That’s something that we’d really like to see as well because our community centre is actually at the Fred Barrett Arena,” he said of the facility at the corner of Bank Street and Leitrim Road. “There’s not really a great route to walk or bike there at the moment.

“More (traffic) lanes are important for sure, but it’s also the improved cycling and pedestrian infrastructure that are really important.”

But there are other components of phase one that will help, such as the widening of the Airport Parkway between Brookfield and Hunt Club roads within the next five years and the current resurfacing of Albion Road and the addition of paved shoulders.

“I cycle into work from time to time and I would never have cycled on Albion Road before,” Nixon said, adding that he would consider cycling along that route once the upgrades are complete. “It’ll be a big improvement.”

Lester Road may one day be widened and a roundabout could be added at Lester and Albion roads, though plans have not been finalized.

“That may benefit Albion down the road,” Nixon said.

Canadian fiddling competition coming to capital region Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Dozens of fiddlers will descend on the capital in the week of Aug. 17 to Aug. 23 for the Grand Master Fiddling Association’s annual competition and camp.

The camp, which has eight fiddling instructors made up of former national champions, ran from Aug. 17 to 21 at the RCMP Long Island Camp in Manotick. The group also included two piano instructors.

“We run the camp every year and except students from every level,” Ron Bourque, the association’s president said.

Following the camp there will be the competition, which kicks off with a gala at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. The gala will feature a performance by four-time Grand Master champion Louis Schryer, as well as Patti Lamoureux, André Brunet and Mark Sullivan.

The competition will be held the following day at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre.

Bourque said the organization is also celebrating their 25th anniversary. The mandate is to promote fiddling.

“The Ottawa Valley is a hotbed of fiddling,” he said, adding it’s appropriate to host the competition in the nation’s capital.

The competition has been held in Ottawa ev-

ery year, except for last year, when it was held in Saskatoon, SK. “Last year we had 500 or 600 people attend,” Bourque said. “We expect the same this year.”

Top prize is 3,000 and there are lesser, monetary prizes for the first four spots. The competition will also feature a junior showcase at the college on Aug. 23 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Contestants will come from all over the country.

“We are like the NHL of the fiddlers industry,” Bourque said.
