Recreation group breathes new life into stalled city plan for sports fields Emma Jackson

EMC news - An old plan is getting new life as a Manotick community group raises awareness about several sports fields proposed for the village.

The Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association is keeping the fire burning under a city plan to build two baseball diamonds and four soccer fields behind the vehicle and equipment depot on Rideau Valley Drive.

Since 2004, the city has wanted to build a snow disposal facility behind the depot, which would double as parking for new sports fields in the summer.

But finances have stymied the project for the better part of a decade, and the project has been shelved since 2006.

At a public meeting on March 7, Noel Norenius, president of the recreation association, brought a poster of the 2006 proposal in the hopes of informing residents about the plan.

“We wanted to let any citizens realize that there is some planning going on for them for amenities,” Norenius said.

“This stuff doesn’t happen overnight.”

Recently the city completed some preliminary traffic studies of the area to see what impact such sports fields would have on the busy road, possibly bringing the project a step closer to reality, Norenius added.

The city has been holding onto a chunk of cash for the project since about 2004, when the community association convinced it that development money raised in Manotick through the old Rideau Town-

ship before amalgamation should be earmarked for recreational facilities in the village.

Initially the account held about $500,000, Norenius said, but some of that has been siphoned off for projects in Kars and North Gower. About $350,000 is left to be used for Manotick recreational facilities, but it’s not enough to cover the entire project. So far, the city hasn’t found the funding to cover the rest.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said he supports the project and wants to see it through, but it could be a long wait.

“There’s a desire to do it (but) it’s a funding issue,” Moffatt said.

He said the public works part of the plan to create a snow dump isn’t moving forward with any urgency, so the parks and recreation plan has to wait, too.

But there’s no denying the need. Moffatt said building the new sports fields would satisfy a short-term demand while also planning for future developments.

Currently, Manotick has two baseball diamonds, which are located behind the arena on Dr. Leach Drive. If the city ever wants to twin the arena’s ice pad, the expansion would eat into the ball diamond’s space.

Building other diamonds on Rideau Valley would absorb that impact far in advance.

“You have to make sure you plan for these things so when you get to that point you’re ready for it,” Moffatt said.

The City of Ottawa did not return requests for information before press time.

City seeks Osgoode pathway feedback Two years later, snowmobile controversy has all but disappeared in Osgoode Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Two years after the Osgoode multi-use pathway left residents divided, the city wants to know how joggers, dog walkers and snowmobiles are working together.

The 21-kilometre stone dust path between Osgoode village and Leitrim Road converted the old rail bed into a public pathway in 2011, amid a contentious debate about who should be allowed to use it.

The most controversial possible user group was snowmobilers, which the city decided to allow within cer-

tain time periods while banning all other motorized vehicles the rest of the year.

The decision was made official in the Rural Pathways Shared-Use Policy approved in March 2011, with a caveat that staff review and renew the document after two years.

Now, two years later, the city is making good on that promise.

A survey on the city’s website covers all three city-operated rural pathways, including one in PrescottRussell and the Ottawa-Carleton Trailway from Bells Corners to Carleton Place.

The information will be used to update the shared-use policy at

a joint meeting between the city’s transportation committee and agriculture and rural affairs committee, likely in June. “Basically (the committee’s) options are to either say ‘Its working great as is’ and move forward with that, or ‘Let’s tweak it’ or ‘Let’s rewrite it completely’ or ‘Let’s ditch it,’� said Alex Cully, a project officer for transportation planning at the city. “Everything’s on the table, but the basic premise is to see if it’s working.�

The survey can be found at www. ottawa.ca/ruralpathways.

It asks 39 questions that range from basic data collection - what you do on the pathway, the time of day you use it, how far you travel to get to it and how long you’re there – to descriptions of positive or negative encounters with other users, be it snowmobilers in the

winter or joggers in the summer.

It asks respondents to rate their interactions with others on the path, offer feedback on trail maintenance and suggest improvements for the future.

I really haven’t heard much. ... Maybe people are just obeying the rules and we’re learning to cohabitate together.

CONST. NICOLE GORHAM COMMUNITY POLICE OFFICER

“We are trying to gauge user experiences and see what they felt about people from different user groups,� Cully said. “Certainly the snowmobiling and the other motor vehicles was

a contentious issue and something we wanted to keep our eyes on. But there haven’t been any major reported trends.�

Rural South community police officer Const. Nicole Gorham said complaints about people misusing the pathway have died down since it was officially opened two years ago. “I really haven’t heard much,�

Gorham said. “The biggest thing is people with their dogs off-leash, because they tend to chase kinds on their bikes and things.�

Even complaints about snowmobilers speeding or using the path outside the curfew have all but disappeared. “Maybe people are just obeying the rules and we’re learning to co-habitate together,� Gorham said.

Residents can submit the online survey until April 15.

Ghost whisperers to reveal Watson’s Mill findings Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The myriad mysteries of Watsons’ Mill may soon be revealed.

The historic mill in Manotick has long been rumoured to be haunted, ever since the young Anne Crosby, wife of mill co-founder Joseph Currier, was killed there in 1861.

Since 2007, the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society has been investigating the mill’s paranormal activity, and on March 27 it will reveal some its most fascinating findings. “Their findings are intriguing to say the least,” said Watson’s Mill education officer Cam Trueman.

“The public will be surprised with what they have to show.”Village folklore says

the ghost of Currier’s young bride, who had barely lived in Ottawa a week before she was killed during a tour of the mill, still walks the lonely floors of the mill looking for her husband. Several accounts have sighted her at the upstairs window looking out; others have felt her presence on the staircase or on the second floor.

Trueman added that some residents believe she’s not the only ghost in the mill. A young boy who drowned at the mill may also haunt the basement, he said.

Over the years, the mill has hosted several public events to search for the ghosts with the help of the paranormal society, with varying results.

Trueman said he has never experienced any paranormal activity at the mill.

Beginning at 7 p.m. in the Carriage Shed across the street, those interested in solving the mysteries of the mill can join investigators for a tell-all. From the Cornwall jail to private residences, the paranormal society has been active in Eastern Ontario researching, investigating and recording hauntings.

From electronic voice phenomena to photo images, the team is dedicated to the field of paranormal phenomena.

“Now is the opportunity to see for yourself and determine if the ghost of the mill really exists,” Trueman said.

Admission is $2 for Watson Mill members and $5 for the general public. All proceeds support Watson’s Mill programming.

For more information call 613-692-6455.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Watson’s Mill education officer Cam Trueman tells a group of campers the story of Anne Crosby’s tragic death on March 12, exactly 152 years after she was killed in the mill.

Residents say her ghost still haunts the mill, and paranormal investigators will present their findings on March 27.

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

Ottawa SSouth h United i d SSoccer C Club celebrates 10th anniversary

Submitted

Members of the 2nd Russell scouts group help with a garbage clean-up last fall in the Embrun and Russell area. Many members of the group are hoping to take part in the Canadian Scout Jamboree this July in Sylvan Lake, Alberta.

It’s been 10 years since members of South Nepean United and the Osgoode-Rideau Soccer Association approved the merger that gave life to Ottawa South United Soccer Club, and set out on an ambitious quest to become the best youth club in Ottawa and amongst the best in Ontario and Canada.

Scouts raising funds for Alberta trip

“We thought if we followed the principles and vision we setup, that it would realistically take more than 15 years,” recalls OSU Founding President Bill Michalopulos, who remains President of what’s now the only Ottawa based club to: earn a top position in the provincial soccer club Terra rankings, a Gold Level Club Excellence Award from the Ontario Soccer Association and win a couple of gold medals in North America’s most prestigious showcase tournament; the Disney showcase, while helping to place scores of soccer players in universities and colleges on soccer scholarships in North America.

EMC news - Camaraderie. Collaboration. Connections. These are the benefits boy scouts can expect to take away from the Canadian Scout Jamboree in Alberta this July, and a group of local scouts hope to be there to enjoy it. It’s the first jamboree since 2007, and thousands of scouts, leaders and volunteers will travel to Sylvan Lake, Alberta from across the

“By any tangible measurement, I think, thanks to our volunteers and full time operating staff, we’ve exceeded our vision in record time,” Michalopulos adds.

OSU hit many key milestones along the way to its 10th anniversary, including establishing strategic alliances with leading clubs in the U.S. and Europe – the Dallas Texans and Everton FC – and providing a dedicated and qualified staff approach to running a club in order to provide better programs.

“We still depend on our volunteers who are a key link to our community, and we’re very thankful we have our volunteers to carry most of the load,” Michalopulos notes, adding that those same people recognize the indispensable value of having full-time staff such as Jim Lianos, Club General Manager since almost Day 1.

country for a week-long camping adventure from July 6 to 13.

Fourteen scouts aged 11 to 14 from the 2nd Russell scouts group (along with two Greely scouts and an Ottawa scout) are hoping to take part in the festivities, but first they’ve got to find the funds to get there.

To help the cause, on Saturday, March 23 a group of parent volunteers have partnered with the Kinsmen Club of Russell to host a Vegas-themed spring fling gala at Rus-

“We knew that a completely volunteer-based club was not a sustainable model if one really wanted to improve the delivery of soccer and be efficient,” Michalopulos emphasizes. “We knew we had to ‘professionalize’ some aspects of the club while retaining the right type of genuinely soccer-loving and experienced volunteer Board of Directors in order to maximize resource efficiency, maintain value for money and to make sure that our soccer playing youth could be the best they could be.

“We were able to put together a sustainable environment for excellence. On a grand level, we have simply pushed soccer forward in Ottawa and significantly improved the level of play of our youth.

That’s our biggest accomplishment.”

A major project – which now stands as a physical symbol of the club’s progress – was the construction of six playing fields in Manotick to accommodate a growing membership base that’s now reached 6,500 – from youth recreational/developmental soccer to competitive/elite, through to adult & sr. levels.

Within two years, a home clubhouse will be built at George Nelms Sports Park, a further signal of the bright future that lies ahead for OSU. Also playing a key role in ongoing success will be UEFA ‘A’ Licence Coach Paul Harris – a recent groundbreaking addition as OSU Club Head Coach via Everton’s famed youth academy.

Moving top players onto the next level is an OSU trademark, with over 80 players receiving scholarships to play university and college soccer in Canada and the U.S., and others recruited into pro team academies.

Without discounting the tremendous success OSU has achieved in becoming a force locally, provincially and throughout North America, perhaps the biggest source of pride is seeing the deeper impact the club has made on members’ lives over 10 years.

0314.R0011980218

“We’re a huge part of the community. You walk around in the summer and every field is being used by the club and you see soccer players all over the place,” observes founding board member Rene Braendli. “It’s been a fantastic journey, but this is not the end.

We’re still pushing ahead and we’ve still got to do better. We cannot stand still.”

sell High School. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the evening includes dinner, dancing and a speech from Senator Vern White, said event committee vice president Margaret Grohmann.

Live and silent auctions will offer the chance to take home original art, tickets to an Ottawa Senators game versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, an autographed Montreal Alouettes football and countless gift cards and other small items.

The event’s proceeds would be used to cover flights, ship camping equipment and purchase appropriate clothing and uniforms for the scouts.

“We’re looking at it as helping to get them there,” she said. She said the jamboree usually happens once every four years, so that every scout has one opportunity to participate in his or her lifetime.

“The whole thing is to give them an experience together, give them opportunity for leadership skills,” Grohmann said. “It’s something that stays with them forever and it changes them.”

She said the week will likely include hikes and other typical scouting activities, as well as a visit to the West Edmonton Mall, the Calgary Stampede and the dinosaur museum in Drumheller. It’s been longer than four years this time because the 2007 jamboree was an enormous event celebrating 100 years of scouting.

Tickets are available for $60 each or by table. Grohmann said she hopes to have about 200 people attend the event and raise $20,000.

“Our original goal was to raise the whole $40,000 but we realized we have to be realistic so we’ve got a $20,000 goal,” Grohmann said.

Parents have already paid a $650 registration fee as well as a downpayment on the flight. Anything they can raise to help off-set the costs would be appreciate, Grohmann said.

The planning committee is also accepting live and silent auction items from interested business sponsors.

Panels to portray Long Island ecology and history emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A part of Manotick’s past will be preserved this summer as the Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association installs interpretive panels throughout Long Island Road Park.

The community group has won a $5,000 grant from the city to install five bilingual panels along the pedestrian pathway which will highlight elements of the local ecosystem and how the island’s shift from agriculture to residential development has impacted the area.

“It’s kind of like a window of the whole (island), the ecosystem that exists around the area,” said association president Noel Norenius.

With the help of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the panels will explain the aquatic life that can be found in and around the river as well as some local plants.

They will also touch on the environmental concerns that come with an increasingly populated island.

“Some of the concerns are the surface drainage, what’s being washed down into the water,” Norenius said.

He said the island was largely used for agriculture until the 1940s, when housing developments began to take over.

But in those days the environmental regulations weren’t as rigid, he said.

The group will do the best it can to explain these issues in a relatively small space, he added.

Although the panels measure about 0.5 metres by one metre, having bilingual text limits the word count, Norenius said. The funding comes from the city’s Community Environmental Projects grant program, which provides funding to non-profit organizations interested in undertaking “small-scale, on-theground, community-based initiatives that support the city of Ottawa’s environmental stewardship priorities,” according to the program’s website.

Norenius said he hopes the panels will be installed by the beginning of July.

Metcalfe lung transplant hopeful dies Linda Pandel was next on the list to receive new set of lungs Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - When friends and family raised $10,400 for Linda Pandel while she waited for a double lung transplant, they thought they’d be supporting her housing bills, not paying for her funeral.

The 50-year-old Metcalfe hair stylist died Monday, March 4 after a three-month struggle with pulmonary fibrosis, a degenerative disease causing scar tissue on the lung. She was next on the list to receive a double lung transplant that would save her life.

Pandel’s death shocked the community, especially after about 500 people attended a fundraiser at the Osgoode Legion on Feb. 16 intended to support her through her recovery.

Pandel’s daughter Marissa, 21, said her mother had been getting progressively worse, but her death was unexpected.

“They didn’t think this was going to happen; there was no warning,” she said.

Marissa said many people have reached out to her and her 23-year-old brother Matthew, because Pandel connected with so many people through her Metcalfe hair salon. Of course, it helped that Pandel was such an approachable, fun-loving person.

“She was pretty eccentric, that’s for sure,” Marissa said. “She was free-spirited, she lived life day by day. She was not on the worried side, she just wanted to enjoy life.”

Tammy Lamb, a long time friend of Pandel’s and one of the fundraiser’s organizers, said Pandel will be sorely missed.

“She had a crazy personality, everybody loved her,” said Lamb. “(She was) very outgoing, always saying jokes. You always knew she was there. She was always bubbly and full of energy, a very pleasant personality.”

Pandel was born in Alberta but grew up in Watford, a small town between Sarnia and London, Ontario. When she was 17, Pandel and a friend got on the road for Edmonton where they worked in a hotel for several years. Pandel moved to the Ottawa area to start her family and had been here for more than 20 years.

Even when Marissa was growing up, Pandel’s free-spirited outlook was contagious. As a hair stylist, Pandel always had Mondays off - which meant Marissa was often out of school those days for motherdaughter ‘Monday Fun-days.’

“We went to lunch, we went shopping, we got into trouble,” Marissa said.

Pandel started having trouble

SUBMITTED

Linda Pandel, pictured here with her daughter Marissa, was waiting for a double lung transplant in Toronto when she died on March 4. her fiance Al were going to get married the second week of March in the hospital.

Lamb said the trust fund that had been opened at the Osgoode Scotiabank branch to help Pandel keep up with bills is still open, and donations can be made to help Marissa and Matthew cover estate costs and support themselves while they get settled.

breathing this past summer. X-rays couldn’t detect the problem, and she was scheduled for a biopsy in midNovember. But when she went in several days early for blood work, doctors decided she was too sick to leave. She came home only one day between then and March 4.

While waiting for her transplant in Toronto General Hospital - usually a six month process - doctors bumped Pandel up the list for lungs. Lamb said by the final week Pandel could barely speak on the phone.

were 1,504 people in Ontario waiting for an organ transplant. Last year, 95 people died before they received that donation, because only a fifth of the population is registered to be an organ donor.

According to the Trillium Gift of Life Network, which supports the organ donation system in Ontario, the provincial organ donor registration rate is only 22 per cent. Ottawa’s rate is 24 per cent, compared to 50 per cent registration rates in some Northern Ontario towns.

“It’s surprising to me because Ottawa is such a giving community with their finances,” said Lyn Presley, an organ donor advocate in south Ottawa. While she didn’t know Pandel, Presley promoted organ donation at the February fundraiser in Osgoode.

She said better organ donation rates would have saved Pandel’s life.

“If more people registered to be organ donors this probably wouldn’t have happened,” she said. “Lots of people talk about it, lots of people agree with it, but it’s getting them to spend the two minutes to actually register.”

The biggest problem, Presley said, is that many people think signing their green and white donor card and putting it in their wallet means they’re a registered donor. In fact, those cards are virtually obsolete, Presley said.

The Gift of Life Network now relies on a digital database for registrations, which links your donor decision to your health card number.

Even if you’ve got a signed donor card in your wallet, you still need to visit www.beadonor.ca and go through several steps to confirm donor consent, Presley said.

Marissa also stressed the importance of organ donation. “(People) don’t understand how important it is,” she said. “They’re not useful to you when you’re gone but it can help others.”

Pandel donated her organs, and Marissa said her corneas have already been used to help a blind man see.

A fresh look at consultation

I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news when the city rethinks a process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around for decades.

Public consultations deserve a new look.

Until now, the city has come to the public with a proposal and then asked people to react. It leaves residents with the impression that the city has already made up its mind about what it wants to do and is just going through the motions of consulting.

Michael Powell from the Dalhousie Community Association has commented that city consultations are â&#x20AC;&#x153;like always being asked what you want on your hot dog, but never what you might like to eat.â&#x20AC;?

There is also a sentiment among members of the public that consultations happen too late in the process to make a difference.

Residents find out about a new city bylaw, p[olicy or program after it has been finessed with city staff and politicians behind the scenes. The city really needs to look at not just how it seeks input, but when.

There is also value to tapping a diverse selection of people so that the true diversity of public opinion is captured. Too often, community-level

consultations, as well as public open houses at city hall, are like a reunion. The same people come out for everything.

Mostly its because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re engaged and they have time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; retirees are one example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also because the processes, mechanisms and jargon are confusing and off-putting for outsiders and people who are new to civic engagement.

The city needs to find a way to get all those voices into the process. Formal meetings alone donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the job.

While on-the-street interviews may not capture opinions of people who have given an issue considerable thought, they are grassroots ways to find out how people who pass by a particular property feel about development plans.

It would also be easy to phone people who live near a proposed building site, and then call them back after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a chance to consider the plans.

To expand the circle of input even further, the city could involve students at local schools. After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kids of today who will often have to live with the results of both good and bad planning deicions for decades to come.

Tackling yet another pesky first world problem

Y

ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably familiar with the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;first world problem.â&#x20AC;? It refers to the kinds of things people living in a privileged country like ours worry about. Not having enough room in the garage for the second car would be an example.

If you look for people with first world problems you find them all around you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the letters to the editor, on the phone-in shows, at parties, in politics. There are people whose wi-fi is too slow, who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough cable channels, who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a tax break for their private school fees.

Canada as a whole is beset with first world problems. Anyone who travels to less privileged countries is always struck by this on returning. You have just come from a place where people are not free and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough to eat and you pick up the Canadian newspaper and find that our politicians are arguing about the constitution.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a first world problem. Some places donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have constitutions. In some places, arguing about the constitution gets you locked up.

All of this is by way of introduction to the fact that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the new money. Those new polymer 50s and 20s are too shiny, not to mention slippery. Mind you, W.L. Mackenzie

613-723-5970

Funny Town King, who is on the 50, was pretty slippery himself.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like money. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even smell like money. There have been questions about the authenticity of the maple leaf.

And so on and so on.

First world problem: many people in the world would like to have new Canadian 50s and 20s.

Still ... you can see right through the new money if you hold it up to the light. Does that seem like money to you, something you can see through?

What it seems like is play money. The kids see these shiny pieces of not-exactly-paper lying around that they can see through and they want to play with them.

They are more fun to play with than the Published weekly by:

Canadian Tire money which, by comparison, now seems more like real money. So does Monopoly money, come to think of it.

First world problem: Canadian kids play with money.

Not too much was heard of all this until fairly recently. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the first new plastic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, polymer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bills issued in 2011 were 100s and 50s. The plastic 20 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit until last November, which is when ordinary people began to notice that the new bills stuck together, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work in vending machines and smelled wrong.

In a related development, a poll reported in the Globe and Mail says that the people most likely to be happy with the new money are people with high income and education.

Seventy-three per cent of people earning more that $100,000 a year were happy with the new money.

And why not? If you had lots of 100s and 50s, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happy too. Somehow your displeasure over bills sticking together would vanish if the bills sticking together were 100s.

The Bank of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official explanation for the use of shiny money is that it will last longer (not that many of us will have it around long enough to notice) and that it is harder to counterfeit. That, you can understand.

Also, the new 20 depicts the Vimy Memorial, which is a worthy thing to do. However, this could have been done without converting everything to plastic. Printing it up on good old paper would have done the trick. (By the way, do you remember when the previous version of the paper bill was introduced? That was 2004. It was durable, had cotton in it, and hard to counterfeit.)

More is to come. By the end of the year, new polymer 5s and 10s will be issued. Then the complaining will begin all over again.

As Canadians know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough living in the first world.

EMC news - Online surveys?

Twitter? Old-fashioned community meetings? The city wants to know how you’d like to be engaged in municipal issues.

The city has never really updated its policy on how it consults with individuals and groups, said the city’s general manager of community and social services, Aaron Burry.

The public consultation strategy was put together in 2004 after amalgamation.

“There wasn’t a lot of work done to put that into practice or look at how we were going to do this,” Burry said. “Given everything that’s changed in terms of how our world works.”

And now, technology and social media are changing the way people engage with the city.

The consultation will look at how the city might be able to take advantage of those opportunities when it asks for feedback on different municipal issues and proposals.

“Going back 10 or 12 years ago at amalgamation, consultations were … at four locations in the city – east, west, south and one open house – and that was consultation,” Burry said. “I think we are moving beyond that and approaching it by trying different things.”

The city wants to look at everything from the very beginning of the process, including what the city is hoping to achieve through consultations, how it lets residents know consultations are happening and how different city departments can use the various forms of consultations that this process will outline.

Engaging the “silent majority” will be a big part of it, Burry said.

Online engagement is part of that, but co-ordinating with community groups like the City for All Women Initiative helps, too. Initiative volunteers can follow the city’s

consultation model and organize a smaller event that attracts residents who may not normally come out to a city-organized meeting, especially if the session can be offered in another language.

“We’ve seen in some of those consultations a much broader and a much stronger response that covers all areas. Not just the usual suspects,” he said. Helping people

to make their participation meaningful is a priority, Burry said. The city will also be looking at how other governments consult the public and offering examples of what might work in Ottawa.

A strategy and a “toolkit” for city staff to use when consulting with the public will be brought to city councillors for approval in the fall, Burry said.

An online survey will be available from March 25 to April 16.

EMC news - Canada has lost a national icon. The Ottawa Valley has lost a grateful friend.

Stompin’ Tom Connors, the plywood-thumping, chain-smoking singer-songwriter whose music struck a distinctly Canadian chord, died March 6 at his Halton Hills, Ont. home. He was 77 years old.

Immediately upon word of Connors’ death, reported to be from natural causes, tributes began piling up via traditional media and social media platforms, All last week, that trend continued and intensified.

Brunswick and spent his formative years in Skinner’s Pond, P.E.I. before taking to the road. The Ottawa Valley’s connection starts in 1967 with his first hit, Big Joe Mufferaw, that mentions towns from Renfrew and Arnprior to Kemptville and beyond.

Lyle Dillabough recalls the time Stompin’ Tom helped save the former Mississippi Hotel in Carleton Place from demolition in 1990. Dillabough penned a letter asking for his support.

“Tom made a plea to the public to ‘Save the Grand Ole Lady,’” Dillabough recalls. “In 1990 Tom was still quite a bit in his reclusive period so when he made that public statement the nation’s media went into a bit of a frenzy. And that had everything to do with why the Grand Ole Lady still stands at the corner of Bridge Street and Lake Avenue in Carleton Place today.”

It was in Peterborough that Connors’ trademark habit of stomping the heel of his left boot to keep rhythm earned him the nickname “that stompin’ guy” or “Stomper.”

However, the name Stompin’ Tom Connors was first coined when Boyd MacDonald, a waiter at the King George Tavern in Peterborough, introduced him as such on stage. The name stuck as Connors went on to produce a bevy of hit songs, including Bud The Spud, Sudbury Saturday Night, The Bug Song and, of course, The Hockey Song, the ultimate music tribute to Canada’s game.

In past interviews, former hockey superstar Bobby Orr has said that for all the many honours he received for his on-ice excellence, being referenced in that song’s lyrics – “Someone roars, Bobby scores” – tops the list.

No one knows that better than Brian Edwards, whose Peterboroughbased Rocklands Talent and Management Inc. first promoted Connors in the late 1980s, reviving his music career after a lengthy hiatus.

“He stood up for every Canadian through his music, his words and his actions,” notes Edwards regarding what has prompted the outpouring of condolences. “It doesn’t surprise me but it’s heartwarming...comforting.”

Mary transports herself to another place

A

t an early age, I developed an ability I thought at the time saved me from many a disappointment, worry and even heartache, and put me in another world.

It took a lot of patience, a great deal of practice and much trial and error, but when I had perfected the exercise, it gave me great satisfaction and peace of mind.

Through deep concentration and forcing my mind

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories away from an unpleasant situation, I was able to move my thoughts from the source of my anguish and into a more pleasant place.

R0011951207_0307

This time of year, there were many occasions for me to put into practice this talent I had developed.

The ice was gone from the Bonnechere, the current was fast and the mud pout could be seen from the shore. The three brothers had been watching the spring breakup for weeks, and now the time had finally come for them to do some fishing.

I hated the very thought of the method used by the brothers to catch the fish. Using spears, some of which were made from a pitchfork from the barn, they straddled an old tree that had fallen across the river at a narrow point and stabbed them without mercy.

When the mud pout became part of our supper, Mother, aware of my squeamish stomach, would put a slice of meat on my plate, or let me have

scrambled eggs. Then, as I sat at the supper table, I would put into place my talent.

I would picture in my mind pieces of bologna, my very favourite treat, sitting on the platter of mud pout in front of me. Even when my tormentor of a brother Emerson would smack his lips for my benefit, I was able to change in my mind, the picture of the mud pout and turn it into bologna.

This talent was put to good use at the Northcote School on more than one occasion too. If my rival Marguirite was getting on my nerves, which happened at least once a day, I would picture her in my mind with homemade flour bag underwear under her skirt.

She made sure every girl at the Northcote School knew that her underpinnings came from Walker’s Store in Renfrew. I got so good at this trick of imagination, that I could even see Pride of the Valley written across her seat.

Emerson often said I was scared of my own shadow and that wasn’t all that far from the truth.

In the dark of night, in my bed, the sounds in the country terrified me.

Inspire Us

The whippoorwills in the distance making their eerie cries, the wolves howling as they skirted the barnyard looking for their next meal, and the old house cracking from the frost in the dead of winter were all sounds that kept sleep at bay. Then I would call on this special talent I had developed over time.

When these sounds surrounded me in my bed, I would force my mind’s eye to a street corner in Renfrew, to see the Salvation Army band playing and singing their rousing hymns. I would be able to block out the frightening sounds around me and sleep would come.

This escape talent came to good use on Sundays too. We sat in the front pew at church.

Our minister, a giant of a man, would come swooping down the aisle and climb into the little cubicle raised above the floor, scanning the congregation before he said a word.

I was sure he was singling me out with his eyes, and knew every sin I had committed since the Sunday before. His thundering voice shook the rafters, and his enormous surplus

billowed out as he waved his arms, looking for all the world like a large black bird.

That’s when I would look over his head to a spot on the blue painted wall. I would pretend I was an angel, and my mission in life, in my mind, was to help the starving Armenians.

These were the people Mother always said we took the food right out of their mouths if we didn’t eat everything on our plates. I thought they lived in Arnprior.

So when I took on the role in my mind’s eye of this little floating angel high in our church, I pictured myself doing good deeds. The fear of the minister vanished.

Every Friday afternoon without fail, Miss Crosby read from a storybook she would bring to the Northcote School.

There was no such thing as a library at the one-room schoolhouse back in the 1930s.

I would sit enthralled, not so much with the story, but from the sound of Miss Crosby’s sweet voice as she read from the book. She read with such inflection, you could picture yourself right inside the story.

It was then I would again transport my mind to another place. I would picture myself all grown up, far away from Northcote and the one-room schoolhouse.

Summer art camps allow children to develop their creativity.

Summer art camps: creativity at its best EMC lifestyle - Specialized summer camps are now allowing young artists to develop their passion on an intensive basis.

Summer art camps offer classes which are both educational and lots of fun. Children can develop their skills and broaden their interests while being supervised by competent instructors, all in an entertaining atmosphere.

There aremany different facets to the world of visual arts. At summer camp, young people can learn about kinds of media that they have few0321.R0011978141

er opportunities to explore at home or school, such as China ink, pastels, charcoal, oil paint, and clay. They acquire theoretical notions and draw inspiration from the great masters of the art world. Some art camps even organize an exhibit at the end of the camp so that friends and family can see all the creations.

Theatre is a great way to break out of one’s shell. At summer camp, children will be able to set aside their shyness and learn to express themselves in public.

They will improve their memorization skills and they will also be able to study different actingmethods.

Dramatic art includes many behind-the-scenes activities, and during theatre camp children will be introduced to many of them, including lights and sound, costumes, makeup, and stage design.

The performing arts are also a great way for children to discover their talents, develop a work ethic, and build selfesteem.

All branches of the performing arts teach students about teamwork.

At a performing arts camp, children are given the opportunity to work on a project throughout their stay and then have the very rewarding experience of presenting it in front of family and friends.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, March 21, 2013

Sports fans have choice EMC lifestyle - Parents who are looking for a specialized camp for their sports-mad children next summer have lots of choice. More and more businesses and summer camp managers have developed expertise in order to offer programs specifically adapted to the expectations of young athletes.

By participating in a sports day camp, a child can acquire techniques and knowledge which will be very profitable when the time comes to return to regular activities with the hockey, basketball or volleyball team next fall.

Hockey is still one of the

most popular sports during the summer. One or two weeks at a specialized summer school will allow young hockey players to develop their abilities and improve their play thanks to the advice and supervision of a qualified team of instructors.

Apart from training sessions on the ice, the program usually includes off-ice exercises, video sessions and other recreational activities.

Over the years, soccer has gained so much in popularity across the country that many camps now specialize in this sport for its young fans; a great way for players to de-

velop their talents and improve their technique.

As well as being able to practise their favourite sport during the summer, fans of golf, tennis, baseball and athletics can also improve their skills at specialized camps.

The programming at these camps can vary as to content and often include extracurricular activities.

In short, there is no lack of choice for young people interested in a particular sport and who wish to develop their potential while experiencing a wonderful group adventure.

Camps are a character-building experience for all kids simply because it’s one where they still have some places left. It is essential to take into account the interests of your children in order for them to have an enjoyable and enriching experience. There are conventional camps, which offer a wide range of outdoor activities and group games.

Other camps offer special interest activities, such as specific sports, visual arts, music, cooking, or even the sciences, including astronomy. The length of stay can also vary.

Some parents prefer to stick with day camps or short stays so their children won’t get homesick. Others opt to send

their children for a week or more to develop their independence.

Children living with a physical or mental disability can also benefit greatly from a stay at a summer camp. Some camps are specifically adapted to meet such needs and have qualified personnel trained to care for them 24 hours a day.

Whatever type of camp a family is looking for, it is always advisable to visit it first or speak with camp staff on the phone – this will help you be sure their priority is the well-being of the children and their focus suits the needs and interests of your children.

Watchdogs decry healthcare ‘privatization’ Healthcare advocates ask Ottawa Hospital for answers on surgery cutbacks

EMC news - Healthcare watchdog groups are demanding answers about staffing cuts at the Ottawa Hospital.

The Ontario Health Coalition, its national counterpoint and the Ontario public service workers’ union told media on March 12 that the hospital and the agency that oversees it, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, did not follow the proper procedure or assess the impact of closing the Riverside campus endoscopy unit or cutting 1,500 cataract surgeries annually to deal with a $31-million annual budget shortfall.

“We are deeply concerned about the depth of cuts and the amount of privatization,” said Natalie Mehra, director of the Ontario Health Coalition. “This is the first case we have seen of a hospital purposefully offloading hospital services to private entities.”

The hospital has not said how cutting 5,000 endoscopies will affect access to that service, nor how cutting the equivalent of 290 full-time staff will impact the services the hospital offers.

And Rick Janson, campaign officer for the public servants’ union, OPSEU, said there are more cuts to come.

“It is our understanding that this is just the beginning,” he said, adding the hospital has begun a review of its outpatient services.

Mehra said the cuts are “arbitrary, without proper oversight.”

networks, they are required to consult the public and have the support of their own boards if they wish to transfer services to another entity (either private or not-for-profit), Mehra said.

She argued the cuts to the Ottawa Hospital fall into this category, called an “integration,” but neither the hospital nor the Champlain network undertook any public consultation or discussion about the cuts.

According to Mehra, the Champlain network’s board of directors did not pass a motion to approve a transfer of services.

“It’s more unclear than ever to patients where they are supposed to access services,” she added.

But the head of the Champlain network says the agency followed all the rules. The cutbacks don’t count as an “integration,” so no formal consultation or board decision was required, said Chantale LeClerc, the network’s executive director.

At the moment, the three watchdog groups have asked the Champlain network to disclose a full list of services that will be cut, transferred and/or privatized, as well as any evaluation that was used to determine the impact of the cuts.

The coalition had not yet received a response the day after sending the letter. If the Champlain network refuses to provide the information they are asking for, the watchdog groups said they might take their complaints to the ministry of health.

Janson said OPSEU has not decided whether to take legal action on behalf of the employees who have received layoff notices, because the union is waiting to see if the hospital will “play by its own rules” and offer those employees a chance to keep doing their jobs with the new provider of that health service.

Michael McBane, executive director of the Canadian Health Coalition, said the Ottawa Hospital changes are another sign that health care in Canada is moving away from being an integrated, public system.

Ford of Canada’s President Provides a State of the Market View

by Brian Turner

Very few carmakers can look back on a history as long and as storied as Ford’s. With 2013 marking the 150th birthday of its founder, Henry Ford, this global manufacturer will certainly not rest on its laurels as it plans to earn each customer’s loyalty, one experience at a time. A recent interview with Ford of Canada President, Dianne Craig revealed what’s ahead on Ford’s road for 2013.

Dianne is looking forward with three main areas of focus: The first is trucks. “Ford will strongly defend our leadership role in the truck market”, stated Ms Craig.

Ford’s leadership role in this market segment is unprecedented.

Their F-series trucks have not only dominated the competition but in recent history outsold all other passenger cars and light trucks. The CUV/SUV (compact and sport utility vehicles) arena is the next area of focus as Ford enters the first full year with the all-new Escape.

This technologically advanced and fuel efficient mover has already won its

share of consumer conquests and the iconic magazine Popular Mechanics recently chose the Escape for their first-ever vehicle of the year award for 2013.

Passenger cars are the third ring in Dianne Craig’s target. She notes that January saw a 21% improvement in sales and her team is dedicated to see this trend continue. A lot of help will come from the Lincoln division as it launches new models to challenge the competition in the luxury vehicle market.

Overall, Dianne feels that fuel economy will continue to be a major consumer driver in 2013 and she’s very excited that Ford has brought technology to the streets to put them at the top of this crucial yardstick.

Their new line of EcoBoost engines along with expanded gasoline/electric hybrids, and all electric vehicles have proved that you don’t have to sacrifice performance and utility while going green. And while on the topic of performance, while other automakers price their personal performance coupes out of the reach of most buyers,

Ford’s Mustang remains true of its legacy of affordable fun.

One of Ford’s biggest assets, according to Dianne is their dealer network.

Ford’s 433 Canadian retailers represent the most established group in the industry with many stores being family owned and a good number of them under management from the third generation of those families. She proudly states that continued positive consumer experiences with Ford retailers will be one of the biggest differentiators over the competition.

And Ford doesn’t rest on this mark of success; they provide the industry’s most extensive and comprehensive training support to dealership owners and employees to keep them ahead of the curve when it comes to customer satisfaction.

If all this seems heavily centered on consumers, it is, and it shouldn’t be a surprise given Dianne Craig’s

background. She started in an entrylevel position with Ford in 1986 and worked her way to the top. She knows that today’s families and individuals, like her, are looking for value that lasts. She notes that Ford still has Henry Ford’s DNA and still strives towards his goal of providing safe, reliable transportation that everyone can afford. She shares that vision and extends a personal invitation to everyone to visit their neighbourhood Ford retailer to check out their large variety of products to fit every need and budget.

Irish society hosts celebration for Rideau Canal workers Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - It was an oldfashion good time as members of the Irish society, family and friends gathered to officially celebrate the designation of the contribution made by Irish workers to the construction of the Rideau Canal.

St. Brigid’s Centre of the Arts was packed on March 14 at a celebration of the official designation from Parks Canada. While the event was months in the making, it has taken years for a dedicated group of people to actually reach the point where the placement of two commemorative plaques at either end of the canal will become a reality.

Sean McKenny, president of the Ottawa and District Labour Council, made a special point to thank the hard work of his friend Kevin Dooley for working for more than five years to reach this point.

“A tip of the hat is to a friend of mine, and a friend of all of yours, who rightfully demanded the workers be recognized,” McKenny said.

“Thank you, Kevin.”

The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832, a

Herculean effort that saw thousands of Irish and French immigrants laying the brickwork for the world-famous waterway. It is estimated that more than 1,000 workers died of malaria during the construction of the canal. In 2006, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada was asked by a ad hoc committee made up of members from the Irish Society of the National Capital Region and the Ottawa and District Labour Council to consider the contributions of the Irish workers for designation.

Over the past six years, the nomination has been denied twice, but on Nov. 2, 2012, Parks Canada officially announced it would formally recognize the construction workers who built the canal.

The evening saw Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and representatives from the Irish Embassy in attendance.

“I want to thank all those individuals who worked so hard to get those workers designated,” Watson said. “We are fortunate to have individuals who worked so hard and they deserve our eternal thanks for recognizing the workers. A job well done and I thank you.”

The celebration began with a look back at the history of the building of the canal, featuring poems from local authors, who helped the crowd fall back in time to when bricks were being laid and lives were being lost.

Irish Ambassador Ray Bassett, was unable to attend the celebration, but sent a letter applauding the committee’s efforts and the official designation.

“The Rideau Canal is a monumental achievement realized by these workers,” said a statement read at the event

by Bassett’s assistant Caoimhe Bennis. “The inclusion of these workers is a testament of their hard work.” Bassett’s words had the crowd erupt with applause and cheers.

Once official ceremonies were complete, it became an old fashion good time, with music provided by Kevin Dooley and friends.

Two plaques will be placed on the canal, one located at Jones Falls in Elgin, Ont., and one located at the Corktown footbridge in Ottawa.

The plaques will be large with two interpretive panels that will tell the story of how the canal was built in English and French.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions

WAllAby ID#A153635

Chloe is a 3 year-old, black, domestic shorthair cat that came to the OHS as a stray on December 1, 2012 and is now available for adoption. Chloe loves to perch atop high places from where she can chat to you from. She loves to have her back and cheeks rubbed, but would love to have an owner that understands that she insists on having all four paws on the floor at all times. Chloe is an independent lady, but got along well with the cat and was tolerant of the dog while in foster care.

Wallaby is a 2 year-old, neutered male, brindle plot hound and whippet mix that was brought to the OHS as a stray, but is now available for adoption! He would love to have lots of opportunities to get fresh air and exercise. He’s an active young dog and would be a good companion for a family who loves the outdoors! Wallaby is a sweet and affectionate boy with those that he is familiar with, but needs a few minutes to feel comfortable around strangers. Wallaby will need a dedicated owner who will make sure he gets the training, exercise, and socialization that he needs to be a happy and well adjusted dog.

For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Cat Owner’s Responsibilities of time only when supervised or under control.

Have a veterinarian examine your cat annually Keep vaccinations up to date to ensure your cat is disease and parasite free.

Supply proper nutrition Ensure your cat has quality food and water. A well-nourished and healthy cat will live a longer life with fewer trips to the veterinarian.

Address behavioural problems Inconsistent use of the litter box is a common problem cat owners often face, but one that can often be corrected. Contact your veterinarian for advice and guidance.

Provide proper grooming Owners should not ignore the importance of daily or weekly grooming. Grooming provides an opportunity to detect fleas or other problems that might otherwise go unnoticed.

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

Babyface This is my pride and joy. His name is Babyface and he is 4 years old. He is a ragdoll with lots of personality. I never understood when people would say that a cat has staff, but it is true. Whenever I think that I own Babyface, he reminds me that he owns me. Nothing happens in my house that he is not aware of. Nothing gets in or out without his inspection. He insists on being the center of attention even with strangers. He has a routine and when that goes awry he tells me about it. He is very vocal and very affectionate. He will win you over.

A lifetime of love and companionship Cats are a delightful addition to a home and family. They are now the #1 pet in North America. Follow these pointers and you and your pet will enjoy a lifetime of love and companionship together.

Spay or neuter Spaying or neutering will prolong the life of your cat and help reduce the risk of reproductive cancer in your pet. Male cats are less likely to spray when neutered early (seven to nine months). Female cats should generally be spayed by the age of 6 months.

License and microchip The municipal animal shelter receives thousands of stray cats arrive every year, and only 5% to 7% are claimed by their owners.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Are you ready for surprises, Aries? If not, loosen up a little bit because there is a little excitement in store for you. It will come when you least expect it.

You may need an extra dose of patience this week, Taurus.

Some difficult tasks are ahead and you will be in charge of getting things back to normal.

Gemini, though many things can induce stress, the infectious sound of children’s laughter will quickly take you out of a slump. Take some time to enjoy the simpler things in life.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Last week’s answers

Libra, someone you can trust will be by your side this week when you need the most support. He or she also can help with sorting through financial concerns.

Scorpio, you may need to take a look at your finances and any things you can do to address any issues. Tweak things that have not been working as you had hoped.

Sagittarius, make some concessions if it means keeping the peace around the house. Sometimes you have to simply sit back and let others be in the spotlight.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, some issues that require your attention arise at the office even though you may feel you have already devoted enough time to work responsibilities this week.

Capricorn, take a few moments to think about what you expect from a particular person and then develop a strategy that will bring you to that end. It sounds easy, but it will require effort.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

A memorable night is on the horizon, Leo. It may be Wednesday or Thursday, so plan to look your best on those days. Romance could be in the air as well.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, before reacting to something this week, take a few deep breaths before saying or doing anything. This way you can be sure you are not engaging in a knee-jerk reaction.

Sometimes things last, but other times they fizzle away, Aquarius. You may not be able to predict the outcome of everything, but you can take steps to protect the things you want to save.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Others will quickly figure out that there is no one quite like you, Pisces. You are a great friend to be around.
