Taking it to streets proves to be popular Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Taking it to the streets of Osgoode has proven to be a major boost for the annual Goode Run in the village.

Organizers of the Goode Run are already planning how to make the event even better next year, after a record number of participants laced up their sneakers for this year’s run on May 9.

What made this year’s run, the fifth annual, differ from past years is that for the first time, the run was held on local streets through the village after being held on the Osgoode pathway in the past.

“This is our biggest year yet by far,” said race director Heather Roe of the number of people who participated.

Runners take off at the start line for the five-kilometre race at the 2015 Goode Run for the Osgoode Youth Association. The May 9 run through Osgoode served as a fundraiser and included all ages and different abilities. The event included a 2 km, 5 km and 10 km event. The 5 km run was won by Michael Blois in a speedy 17 minutes and 46 seconds. The 10 km winner was Tommy Des Brisay in 34 minutes and 53 seconds.

Bank tops up care centre fundraising campaign An ongoing Osgoode Care Centre campaign added $5,000 to its collection plate from the Busting Out the Brews fundraiser earlier this year thanks to this $5,000 cheque from the Scotiabank branch in Osgoode. The care centre has been working towards a $500,000 fundraising goal to replace the facility’s roof, furniture and other amenities since September 2013.

Pictured, left to right, are the care centre’s Wendy Hill, Scotiabank’s Sue Toll, Osgoode Scotiabank branch manager Duane Morris, Scotiabank’s Bea Wigney and the care centre’s Lori Norris-Dudley. Norris-Dudley said the centre is very appreciative of all the support Scotiabank’s Osgoode branch has given the centre. Hill said the fundraising campaign has collected $424,000 towards its goal as of this spring.

Barrie’s Patrick Brown has been elected the new leader of Ontario’s Progressive Conservative party after a 10-month campaign that wrapped up May 9.

“I am feeling very good right now. It has been a long, long campaign. We worked really hard and we hav e had some in-

credible volunteers from every corner of the province. We have a changed party that reflect this province,” said Brown, 36.

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod was originally in the race but dropped out and announced her support for eventual runner-up Christine Elliott.

Rodgers, who is a member of the Royal Canadian Legion in Manotick, lives in Kars with his wife Jenny and their son.

Rodgers beat out Richard Kuzell, a former executive vicepresident of the old NepeanCarleton Liberal riding association, and Colin Smith, for the Liberal nomination.

Poilievre, the federal Conservative government’s minister of employment and social development, is the MP for the area that will now be within the boundaries of the Carleton riding.

Rodgers most recently worked in the federal public service for the past 10 years.

He took a leave of absence to seek the Liberal nomination in Carleton.

In accepting the nomination, Rodgers said, “It’s time for

Memorial park to honour Fallowfield bus crash victims Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

It’s hard to have a moment of reflection in the middle of traffic.

That’s why Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder has been working with the families of six people killed in a 2013 bus crash to develop a quiet remembrance park near the Fallowfield park and ride, so people can pay their respects in safety and solitude.

During morning rush hour on Sept. 18, 2013, an OC Transpo express bus was travelling north on the Transitway near Fallowfield train station when it crashed through a level rail crossing and collided with a westbound VIA Rail train.

The front of the doubledecker bus was shorn off, killing six people including the bus driver, David Woodard.

Now the city is spending $125,000 to develop a park

for reflection and contemplation about 250 metres from the crash site, just east of the train station.

Harder revealed part of the plan at a council meeting on May 13. A secluded spot north of the parking lot will feature a symmetrical stand of trees in traditional “bosquet” style, and will offer a naturally private space thanks to an existing hedgerow.

The parkette is meant to give families a safe place to go other than the rail crossing, which right now has an ad hoc memorial set up by family and friends of the victims. But with trains and buses going by, that spot can be dangerous and inaccessible. “(The families) need a place to be close,” Harder said. “It’s the closest point they could be safely and still have protection and privacy.”

What wasn’t revealed at council were the plans for six individual memorials repre-

senting the victims’ lives.

That’s a purposeful omission, Harder said, in part to protect the families from prying questions until the project is complete.

But she said the memorial has been driven by the families and will represent how they remember their loved ones.

“What you’re going to see is why each of them mattered to their families and their community,” she said. “When you look at the pieces you’ll think, ‘Wow that’s something neat about that person.’”

Batter up, Ottawa

B

uy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if I ever come back.

Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest sports franchise makes its debut tomorrow, May 22.

We wish the Ottawa Champions good weather, plenty of hits and a championship to go with their name, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in year one.

The city has seen sports teams come and go, no more so than on the diamond at what was JetForm Park, then Ottawa Stadium and now the tonguetwisting Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park.

Ottawa sports fans have been called fickle for their wavering support of sports franchises, but we all love a winner, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prop up less successful teams if the product is entertaining.

As the Champions take to the field this weekend, the fans will be there. Can-Am league baseball isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the major leagues but â&#x20AC;&#x201C; based on the defunct Rapids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is no questioning the complete effort the players deliver. The stadium, the ticket and concession prices and the overall experience promise good value

for money, especially for families.

Add in the recent addition of a pedestrian link from the Transitway to the ballpark, and the trip becomes even more family friendly.

Fans will see teams from Canadian and American cities visit to play our Champions, and that in turn creates revenue for service providers in the city. Any time tourism numbers can be boosted, the public should show its support.

It takes a lot of guts to invest in a sports team, especially when past franchises have moved away. The Ottawa Champions Baseball Club ownership took that into account and decided the city would back the team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given us a vote of confidence and showed more bravado when the name was chosen.

Win or lose, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of our city now.

Let me root, root, root, For the home team, If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame For itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one, two, three strikes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out At the old ball game

Swimming upstream in face of parking problems

I

n Ottawa we love to talk about parking. We love to talk about parking more than we love to park. Actually, we love to do anything more than we love parking.

The parking conversation is a moveable feast, jumping from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

Recently, there have been discussions about Lansdowne, where there seems to be uncertainty about where parking actually is. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think a few good signs would clear that up, but life is never as simple as that.

The most recent emergence of the parking conversation is in the Westboro and Wellington West areas, where on-street parking has traditionally been free, with signs limiting the length of time a car can stay in one spot. That either hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked, or

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town has worked too well, depending on whom you consult. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually the same thing either way: free parking lures cars to the neighbourhood and creates a shortage of free parking.

Can the situation be improved?

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper organized a recent meeting at which the problems were aired. Inevitably, the possibility of paid parking in Westboro was discussed. Now, there are experts on both sides of this issue. Plus, everyone who drives a car

is an expert. So there is no shortage of opinions.

There is just a shortage of clearcut answers. Paid parking, it is said by some, facilitates more rapid turnover of available spaces, thus making more parking available. But wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strict enforcement of time limits on free parking accomplish the same thing?

Perhaps, but that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be popular with merchants. The prospect of parking control officers lurking might scare away potential customers. On the other hand, making them feed the parking meter will also be a deterrent, according to merchants.

The opinion was even expressed that only wealthier people would shop in Westboro, which would threaten the existence of small businesses.

If that seems extreme, remember that not too far away are large shopping centres with lots of stores and free parking. Owning a small business is not for the faint of heart.

More parking garages? It is to laugh. You should never underestimate the legendary cheapness of the average Ottawan. He will drive many blocks out of his way to save two dollars. Inevitably, that takes him onto a residential street, where he parks in front of your house. Now, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like a huge burden, but it can be a nuisance when dozens of cars are circling your block while the kids are playing street hockey.

Paid parking might add to this problem. On the other hand, it exists already. I know of a family, situated less than half a block from a happening stretch of Wellington Street.

They can walk to everything, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just decided to move out, because of other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars.

Retirees fight plans to curtail their pensions - need support To the editor,

On May 5, the Ottawa branch of the National Association of Federal Retirees held its annual general meeting at the RA Centre on Riverside Drive.

The Ottawa branch has more than 34,000 members in the region. The association is a non-partisan organization promoting the interests and protecting the benefits of retired federal employees.

The keynote speaker at the meeting was Rosemary Pitfield, national director of communications, who described the organization’s response to recent changes to the pension landscape by various levels of government in Canada and what the association is doing in response to this.

Since 2011, provincial governments in New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec have introduced legislation to reduce the earned benefits of their employees and pensioners and there are indications, depending on the result of a recent civil suit brought against the New Brunswick government by

their retirees that the federal government may not be far behind.

The national association has joined with other organizations to form the Canadian Coalition for Retirement Security to ensure the protection of public and private sector employees accrued and retirees’ pensions and benefits. The coalition is composed of 23 organizations representing close to six million working and retired Canadians.

In the coming months, the association, as part of the coalition, will mount a non-partisan campaign to leverage public support for federal and provincial legislation to protect benefits that have already been earned by public and private sector employees and retirees.

The results from recent focus groups organized by the association make it clear that Canadians want the federal government to live up to the commitments they have made to their pensioners and employees and see not honouring these commitments as “despicable” and “shameful.”

The association has met with the

ottawa

leaders of the federal political parties including Opposition leader Thomas Mulcair, who has promised to support legislation to protect accrued benefits, and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, who has been sympathetic toward the idea. The association has not yet been able to meet with anyone from the government.

In the months leading up to the federal election (scheduled for Oct. 19), the association will launch the Honour Your Promise campaign on the web to mobilize members to get involved in the election and to highlight these issues in riding across Canada.

As well, all-candidate meetings will be organized in key areas across the country (including Ottawa) to discuss these issues.

A tool kit will be sent to members as part of the fall issue of SAGE, the association magazine. Further information can be found on the association’s website.

“It is not a cabinet decision, but it is up to the environment minister’s office,” Shields explained. Dickinson Square is a “remarkable jewel in the country’s history,” said Bill Tupper, past president of the Rideau Township Historical Society.

“We’re pretty optimistic that we’ll get the recommendation seeking this designation.

“That would be a significant benefit to Manotick,” he said.

A Dickinson Heritage Square Committee has been working on the heritage site designation application.

An effort to get Manotick’s Dickinson Square declared a national heritage site has taken a giant leap forward now that an application for the designation has been handed over to a representative of Parks Canada at a ceremony in front of Watson’s Mill.A The Rideau Township Historical Society’s Maureen McPhee handed the application to Norman Shields, manager for heritage designations for Parks Canada, as support-

ers of the heritage site designation such as MP Pierre Poilievre gathered in front of the mill on Thursday, May 14.

The application for national heritage designation will be evaluated by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, which will then make a recommendation on the application to the federal environment minister.

Shields said he expects the application to be reviewed by the Historic Sites board at its next meeting in December.

The board meets twice a year to consider such requests.

Dickinson House is one of the many historic attractions of Manotick’s Dickinson Square.

Square called Manotick’s ‘jewel’ Continued from page 10

The committee’s goal is to convince Parks Canada’s Historic Sites and Monuments Board that Dickinson Square and the buildings within it deserve national recognition for their contribution to Canada’s development.

The focus is on Dickinson House and Watson’s Mill, both city-owned buildings protected under the Ontario Heritage Act. “This application demonstrates the unique national and historic importance of Dickinson Square. Its meticulously preserved buildings, in their original locations, show how Canadian communities arose along the Rideau Canal as this magnificent waterway trans-

formed them from military to commercial entities,” Poilievre said.

“This application demonstrates the unique national and historic importance of Dickinson Square.”

MP PIERRE POILIEVRE

“The Square and community of Manotick each developed as improvements to the Rideau Canal system were made,” he said.

Poilievre said such a heritage designation would open up access to funding streams for Dickinson Square.

Parks Canada has funds set aside each year that only national historic sites can access on a 50/50 cost-sharing basis.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt told the Manotick News previously that if the Square is declared a national heritage site, it would be a big boost to Manotick.

“The national historic designation is something to brag about,” Moffatt said.

“Everything we want to do is about trying to bring more people to the Square. We all know how great it is, but there are a lot of people out there who haven’t experienced Watson’s Mill or Dickinson House, and this opens that up.”

Open house reveals Chapman Mills Drive extension plans Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

In the first of three public open houses scheduled for 2015 city planners presented plans for westward extensions of Chapman Mills Drive from Longfields Drive and a bus rapid transit corridor from Greenbank Road on May 7.

City project manager Jabbar Siddique said in the open house at Walter Baker Sports Centre that the extensions will be necessary to serve the growing South Nepean Town Centre and the future Clarke Fields development. City planners expect up to 760 vehicles to travel along the Chapman Mills Drive extension during weekday peak hours, and for the bus rapid transit corridor extension to carry more than 2,000 passengers per hour.

“The transportation master plan includes the extension of bus rapid transit west of Greenbank Road,” Siddique

said. “Because there is a need for BRT in that area that’s been identified.”

Siddique and members of three consulting and engineering firms detailed three possible alignments for the road and bus rapid transit extensions, as well as three variations of road formats that would allow road and transit way traffic to share the corridor.

The three alignments saw Chapman Mills Drive and bus lanes extended west to Strandherd Drive, with bus lanes continuing along Strandherd Drive to either Maravista Drive, Kennevale Drive, or Citi Gate Corporate Campus, all west of Cedarview Road.

One proposed road format for the Chapman Mills Drive portion of the extension included building transit lanes down the centre of the road, with lanes for cars on either side. Another format placed bus transit lanes on the outer edges of the road, with lanes for car traffic

running along the inside.

Siddique said that while the Chapman Mills Drive extension will not be built until between 2020 and 2025 and the transit way extension will not be built before 2031, it’s important for the city to begin the environmental assessment and public consultation processes now. Once city planners have selected a route for the extensions the City can begin securing ownership of lands along the corridor.

“A lot of development applications for that area are coming in so we want to make sure that we are actually protecting the corridor that may be required for future rapid transit facilities,” Siddique said.

“Although the BRT part is not going to be built before 2031, because it’s in the same environmental assessment area (as the Chapman Mills Drive extension) that’s why we are protecting for it now.”

Plans to extend Chapman Mills Drive were met with little resistance during the open house, though several participants raised concerns about the nature of bus rapid transit lanes interacting with local car, bicycle and pedes-

trian traffic along that portion of the bus rapid transit extension.

Taking into consideration these and other concerns raised during the open house, as well as environmental impacts, land use, servicing and

cost, the city will present a preferred alternate solution during the next open house in July. “We have to wrap the study up by December,” Siddique said. “So we’ll have the final plan in place by the end of this year.”

The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Students make splash with private swim lessons in Manotick Brian Dryden brian.dryden@metroland.com

A group of university students who call Manotick home are turning their experience as lifeguards into a business opportunity, offering to share their swimming know-how to teach young kids in the village how to swim with private lessons at their homes.

This summer will be the second year of operation for their business, Home Base Swim, which involves giving private lessons at the home pools of their students.

The founders of Home Base Swim once again hope to drum up business at the Dickinson Days parade, where they will operate a float to promote their service and hopefully sign up enough students and parents to make Home Base Swim a small business success story going forward.

“We have some posters up and we’ve been posting our flyers at job boards in local stores,” said Greg Roberts, one of the founders of Home Base Swim.

They started their business last summer as a way to augment their i n come a s life-

A group of Manotick students who have experience as lifeguards have banded together to start a private swimming lesson business in the village. Last summer, they set up a booth during the Dickinson Days festival to sign up clients. They will have a float in the Dickinson Days parade the weekend of June 5-7 to continue to promote their business and attract new clients.

guards during the summer.

“We’re all qualified to teach,” Roberts said, adding they follow Lifesaving Society and Red Cross swimming instruction guidelines, although they are not officially affiliated so their students do not get an official Red Cross swimming badge when they complete a level of instruction.

Some of the parents who

hired them last summer want them to continue teaching their kids this summer as well, but they are hoping that their float in the Dickinson Days parade will attract new clients. The annual Dickinson Days celebration in Manotick is the June 5-7 weekend this year.

Roberts said they charge $40 an hour for instruction, and it takes five hours to com-

plete one level of instruction.

With five instructors involved this summer, Roberts said each instructor needs three to four clients to make the business a success.

More than 4.6 million passengers – most of them travelling domestically – passed through the Ottawa International Airport in 2014, representing an increase of less than one per cent over 2013.

“It’s almost flat growth,” Mark Laroche, president and chief executive officer of airport authority, said during the organization’s annual general meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn on May 6.

“But, if I can be an optimist, it’s green shoots and it should be leading back to normal growth within 12 to 24 months.”

Even with his optimistic outlook, Laroche said the reality is that passenger growth, which experienced a drop in 2013 due to government cutbacks, will be slow going since growth is typically in sync with the health of the local economy.

“So as GDP in the Ottawa-Gatineau area rises, so does passenger growth,” he said. “When people feel confident in the local economy, they travel more.”

The authority anticipates the number of passengers will climb about 1.5 per cent this year.

Laroche said normal growth for the Ottawa airport is between two and three per cent.

“It’s going to be hard to achieve that this year,” he said.

Still, airport revenues topped $112.3 million last year, representing an eight per cent increase over the $101.4 million generated in 2013 due to a $3 hike in the $20 airport improvement fee, which came into effect March 1, 2014. The fee is collected from each departing passenger.

Of those revenues, $44 million came from airport improvement fees.

Handling fees and other charges to airlines brought in $37 million.

The airport does not receive government funding.

“One hundred per cent of these airport improvement fees are used to fund the cost of airport infrastructure and related financing,” said Janice Traversy, chairwoman of the authority’s audit committee, “The authority is currently investing over $30 million of these fees to improve its outbound baggage handling system to comply with new security regulations on baggage screening,” she said, adding there are no plans to raise the airport im-

provement fee.

In addition to serving millions of passengers each year, the airport annually pumps more than $2.2 billion into the local economy.

Through its strategic plan, unveiled last year, the authority wants to grow its numbers “responsibly and effectively over the next several years,” said Susan St. Amand, who was recently elected as the new charwoman of the authority’s board of directors. She has served on the board since 2012.

“I have watched the authority and the airport continue to grow and to change,” said Amand, whose new role was announced May 4.

“The authority’s vision, which is to be the world-class gateway for Canada’s capital region and an economic engine that drives prosperity for our community, is one that we have already achieved in part.”

Changes have already been afoot at the airport for some time.

Just two days before the annual meeting, the final touches were being put in place on the third phase of the $30-million reconstruction of the airport’s longest runway, which was re-grooved last summer.

“This makes our airport the only commercial airport in Canada that has grooved runways,” Amand said.

“While this safety feature is a standard in the United States, it is not a regulatory requirement here in Canada.”

The Ottawa airport is still the only tier-one airport in the country that has security enhancing features, including the grooved surface and the addition of 300-metre-long runway end safety zones.

A new domestic baggage carousel has also been installed, and work will continue behind the scenes on this until 2016.

The Ottawa facility is among the top-ranked airports in the world.

“We finished third in the world for airports that serve between two and five million passengers per year and fifth overall in North America,” she said, adding the airport is the only one in the world to rank in both categories.

Getting people to and from the airport and maintaining a strong transportation system is “a prerequisite” to ensuring the airport maintains its high ranking, said Laroche, reason why the authority is working with the city on its environmental assessments of the extension of the light rail network in south Ottawa

A walk through history with Merrickville House and Garden Tour Staff

This year’s Merrickville House and Garden Tour is enjoying its tenth anniversary (in support of Holy Trinity Anglican Church). The tour promises to satisfy anyone interested in the unique and varied architecture and design of Canadian homes and gardens from the early 1800s to the present day. The home and garden tour is a lovely overview of the best of Canadian heritage said Alaina Venables organizer of the tour.

The tour begins with an early 1800s “bijou” log home which was the original caretaker’s cottage to the historic Harry McLean Mansion and progresses through the centuries to a stunning modern design which features soaring 18 foot commercial windows overlooking the Rideau Canal; a true reflection of the best in modern aesthetics. Visitors will be impressed by the homes’ architecturally seamless and sympathetic integration into their picturesque and rural settings.

Venables and her team of

dedicated volunteers arranges the tour each year. “It is a major fundraiser for the Holy Trinity Anglican Church,” explained Venables. She said the tour emphasizes the relationship with local merchants who have agreed to offer various discounts to tour members when they show their ticket at their place of business. “When you tour the village you will see the wonderful merchants that we have here,” she said.

The well-kept gardens and historical homes on the tour reflect a special attitude around the village. “The people here have done a wonderful job looking after them,” she said.

There are four houses to look at, three gardens and one heritage barn on the tour.

Once a department store in the 1800s, the Aaron Merrick Block has undergone one of the most ingenious conversions. Now housing a number of stores in its lower level, which tour organizers invite you to visit, the upper levels consist of a stunning 4,000 square foot private apartment.

This modern bungalow evokes the style of an old-world stone home. It was designed and built by Lockwood Brothers, a local builder, and stands on two acres severed from the original Crown Land Patent Grant of 200 acres in 1816.

The expansive living room is only enhanced by the 40 foot cathedral ceiling with cat walk and panoramic views throughout of the Block House, Locks and Merrickville’s historic Main Street.

Heritage Stables is situated on Crown land, which was sold to David Buchan in 1853.

L.H. Newman purchased the

farm in 1912 and, along with his passion for agriculture and new technology, set out to build a state of the art barn.

L.H. Newman became Agricultural Canada’s Dominion Cerealist (1923-1948) and was named to the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame.

This magnificent barn is one of the few from its era still

surviving today.

The three featured gardens will also delight and inspire both novice and experienced gardeners alike. From Koi stocked ponds, original milk sheds, free-flowing artesian wells and charming boathouses to expansive riverside residences with their English and French style garden inspired

designs.

This year’s tour will take place Saturday June 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 pm.. Various local businesses will be displaying their wares in each of the featured homes and gardens.

Tickets are limited so do not miss this wonderful opportunity.

A visit to the tour’s website provides interesting and valuable information. There are three ways to register for the tour. You can register on-line at the tour’s website at www. merrickville-house-tour.ca or over the phone with a credit card, please call Rick or Sue Boswell at (613) 269-3452.

Blood services, agriculture museum added to Doors Open roster

What did you do on your summer vacation?

Give your kids a summer to remember by registering them in a City of Ottawa summer camp. They will create memories to last a lifetime, make new friends, and maybe even discover their future life direction.

129 buildings open to public June 6-7

Sing-along’s, messy crafts, dress up, tag and kick the ball – are better with friends. Our camp activities are age appropriate, theme based and offer lots of variety from active sports to quiet time, special guests, events and parties. Organized group play includes arts and crafts, skits and songs, competition and cooperation.

We also offer camps across the city where you can find that specialized program for your artist, athlete or diva! Many camps are close enough to walk or bike to, or why not consider carpooling with neighbours? Summer is a great time to be someone else, do something different, or create a masterpiece. Meet other kids or go with your best friend.

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Sports Camps offer a chance to improve skills with drills and game play. We have sport specific instructors with lots of tips and strategy to help you play the game. Practice, practice, practice!

It’s city-building at its finest: open up the capital’s coolest buildings for a behind-the-scenes look at form and function as part of the annual Doors Open Ottawa weekend.

Long-time co-chairwoman Linda Russell might even take that outcome a little further.

“I like to think of Doors Open as a tiny revolutionary way to build a city,” she said at the launch on May 11.

“The discovery of the inner workings of a place – why it’s there, who designed it and built it, its purpose today, its story within a neighbourhood – all contributes to our understanding of where we live. And it only makes sense that while learning about the architecture of our city, we all become more passionate about designing its future.”

Doors Open Ottawa will open 129 buildings to the public on June 6 and 7, including the United States Embassy, the British High Commissioner’s residence, the Supreme Court building and the National Gallery of Canada, as well as numerous heritage homes, places of worship and embassies.

The list has 22 new additions this year, from Bluesfest’s new Festival House in the converted Westboro United Church to the Canadian Blood Services’ donation processing plant in Nepean.

Other new sites include the Alta Vista Animal Hospital,

Summer and water go hand in hand. Beat the heat in a water fun camp, work on reaching that next level of swimming through lessons, or learn a water sport. Wet and wild fun!

From Maplelawn Historical Garden on Richmond Road to the Goulbourn Museum in Stittsville, there’s a lot to learn about the national capital region’s rich history in the city’s west end. The Nepean museum will also be open, as will the Britannia Yacht Club and the Nepean Sailing Club.

EAST

The east end offers up some interesting options, as well, most notably a chance to see the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum’s reserve hangar for the first time.

The Canadian Science and Technology Museum usually puts its collection on display, but since that museum is undergoing renovations staff have instead opened doors to their aviation and agriculture collections.For a complete list of buildings in your neighbourhood, visit ottawa. ca/doorsopen.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Tobi Nussbaum is wading into the debate over a planned memorial to victims of communism, asking the federal government to put it somewhere else.

The rookie councillor will introduce a motion at the end of the month that would formally request the Harper government relocate its memorial somewhere other than between the Supreme Court and Library and Archives buildings on Wellington Street, where it’s currently approved to go.

The memorial’s winning design proposes a huge cement complex described as “a solemnly rising modern concrete sculpture,” which maxes out at nine metres high.

Nussbaum said he doesn’t have a problem with honouring victims of communism, but he does take issue with the federal government erasing 60-year-old plans to build a third federal court building on that spot.

“I personally think it’s important to be respectful in terms of the use of that site and of that long term plan,” Nussbaum said.

He has the support of the mayor – Jim Watson has been vocal about his opposition to the location, which he said will blight the landscape.

“We’re not taking sides as to whether we need a victims of communism monument, but the location takes away really from the streetscape that has been thought about and developed in consultation over the past several decades,” Watson said after council on May 13.

He reiterated the need for public input.

“My hope is we continue to garner support and the government will sit down and have a proper consultation about where that memorial should go,” he said.

The NCC approved the site for the memorial in 2012, although it had originally proposed putting it several hundred metres down the road in the Garden of Provinces and Territories.

That wasn’t prominent enough for the private group Tribute to Liberty, which has been spearheading the project and ran the monument’s design competition.

The city is not the first to speak out against the project’s scope and location.

Backlash across the country has been growing since the winning design was announced last December.

The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada denounced it this winter, along with the Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, NDP MP Paul Dewar and countless residents.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said the memorial’s location is “entirely appropriate” and will serve to “honour the more than 100 million lives lost under communist regimes, and pay tribute to the Canadian ideals of liberty, freedom, democracy and human rights.”

The Tribute to Liberty website said construction of the monument’s wall of remembrance will begin “in early 2015.”

Hospice Care Ottawa is a community-based charitable organization. We offer palliative and end-of-life services at no cost to people living in the city of Ottawa. Delivery of our services is made possible through the support of a small dedicated staff, many volunteers and generous donors.

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice Care is different from other types of health care in a number of ways:  Comfort vs. cure: For most health care professionals, the goal is to help people get well. At Hospice Care Ottawa, the staff, volunteers and family focus on comfort, support and care rather than cure.  Family focus: Hospice care focuses on the entire family. Hospice staff and volunteers help family members become involved in the client’s care.  Grief support: Bereavement support staff and volunteers maintain contact with family members for up to a year after the death of their loved one.

OrlĂŠans resident Karelle Edwards, an Olympic-hopeful in hurdling, has been chosen as Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pan American Games torchbearer.

The city was given the opportunity to choose one torchbearer, and put out a call for nominations in January.

Edwards said her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend nominated her to cover the downtown route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Canada to have the Pan Am Games is already huge,â&#x20AC;? said Edwards, 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So to be part of the kick-off is an absolute honour.â&#x20AC;?

SUBMITTED Edwards will run the portion of the Karelle Edwards, 25, will carry the torch on behalf relay through central Ottawa, while of Ottawa during the Pan American Games torch the Pan Am Games committee is relay. still to announce torchbearers for the Kanata, Barrhaven and OrlĂŠans legs of the relay.

The hurdler could potentially make the Games herself, as she has already run the cut-off standard time in her event, the 100-metre hurdles. Only the top two female Canadian runners in the event will be selected to compete.

Last time she checked, Edwards was ranked third, but said she tries not to pay attention to the rankings too much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is just to keep running â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and run fast,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Canadian athletes have until June 14 to post their best times with Athletics Canada before the team is selected.

Her ultimate goal is to qualify for the 2016 Olympics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an event that takes the top three Canadians based on upcoming Olympic trials performance.

Edwards competed in the last Olympic trials, and made the finals. It was her first competitive season after a three-year break due to a back injury.

After switching from gymnastics to track and field as a De La Salle high school student, she represented Canada at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics.

The next year Edwards competed at the IAAF World Junior Championships.

She returned from her hiatus due to injury and now trains with the Ottawa Lions and coach Craig Taylor, working towards the goal of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Indigenous women have long been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;otheredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: expert Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Violence against indigenous women in Canada can be traced back to the earliest contact with European explorers, according to a Carleton University scholar.

Dr. Kahente Horn-Miller led a panel discussion at City Hall on May 14 as part of a Crime Prevention Ottawa speaker series.

Horn-Miller said the current issue of murdered and missing indigenous women in Canada may only be getting media attention now, but is a problem stretching back 500 years.

She said those first European men imposed their Eurocentric view of women onto the aboriginal communities they encountered. Paintings and other images from that time depict native men as violent savages, while the women were hyper-sexualized, she

said.

Over time this gave way to tropes like the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indian princessâ&#x20AC;? imagery that made its way into popular culture in the 19th and 20th centuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the images that have permeated society,â&#x20AC;? HornMiller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These images are how people construct how they see our women. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seen as nothing, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not valued.â&#x20AC;?

This persistent over-sexualization has allowed men to take advantage of indigenous women more than other groups. According to the RCMP, indigenous women are four times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women.

Official statistics show that more than 1,100 indigenous women have been murdered or gone missing since 1980. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just women with Indian status â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are many other indigenous women not includ-

ed in that number, Horn-Miller said.

Her presentation was part of a breakfast panel discussion hosted by Crime Prevention Ottawa.

The panel included employment councillor Verna McGregor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whose relative was killed by men building the Rideau Canal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cherry Smiley with the Native Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association of Canada, and Delilah Saunders, whose sister Loretta was murdered in 2014.

Horn-Miller repeated the aboriginal communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for a national inquiry into why so many indigenous women have been targeted for violence, but she said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to negotiate with the federal government to find â&#x20AC;&#x153;middle groundâ&#x20AC;? and other solutions.

That could include better funding for health and education in native communities, and a strategy for putting recommendations into action.

Pet Adoptions Meet Joey (ID#A176281), > Ê i iÀ}iÌ VÊ ÃÌ Ê ÌiÀÀ iÀÉ ÝiÀÊ ÝÊ looking for his new best friend. If Joey were a person, he would be a clown because he loves to make people smile. He is pretty cute to look at, but it’s his enthusiastic and endearing nature that makes him such a special dog. Although he’s a year old, Joey still acts like a puppy and he loves to burn off energy with his favourite toys. Joey likes learning new skills, so he enjoys puzzle and food dispensing toys that let him exercise his brain. Joey is still practising his obedience skills, so he’d benefit from a patient owner who can guide him through new situations. Joey wants to be your one and only, so he’d prefer an adult home with no other pets.

For more information on Prince and Jester and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

PET OF THE WEEK

Stumbling upon a baby animal that appears to need help brings out a helping instinct in all of us but spotting a baby animal by himself doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an orphan. Many wildlife parents leave their young alone during the day, sometimes for long periods. The mother is usually nearby and quite conscious of her young.

Also, keep in mind that despite their small size, many young animals are actually independent enough to fend for themselves.

How you tell if an animal needs your help or should be left alone? If an animal needs your help, you will see

As the temperature warms, wildlife becomes more active and birthing season soon follows. Humans start to go outdoors more and the wildlife/ people conflict begins to heat up too.

The most obvious sign is the carnage on our roadways that we begin to witness. The sign here at the OHS is the influx of wild animals. Sadly, many of these creatures will be juveniles that would have been safer had they been left where they were. There simply aren’t enough rehabilitation spaces for all the wildlife in our region, and most didn’t need our help in the first place.

Operation Calf Rescue: Success DIANA FISHER

T

The Accidental Farmwife In fact it was the calves who alerted the Farmer to the missing cow’s location in the first place.

They were lined up, six little butts in a row, peeking over the stone fence.

That’s where we found her and her new calf, a healthy heifer, already nursing. We slowed down and pulled up alongside the pair.

The Farmer jumped out and managed to lasso the calf on his first try. The mother stepped aside, alarmed, and went back to the spot where she had given birth. Her instincts told her that although her calf had suddenly vanished into thin air, she would find it there. The Farmer brought the calf to me and after one quick ‘baa’ for its mother it was quiet in my lap. As the Farmer kicked the ATV into gear the gangly calf started flailing its legs and trying to escape its blanket strait jacket. I kept my arm around its neck and one of its legs firmly gripped in my hand as we

made our slow and bumpy descent back up over rocky pasture to the barnyard.

Mama Cow remained at the place of birth, bawling for her young. The other cows, seeing what was happening, came to the stone fence to advise and encourage her.

After a short argument, some of them came around to her side as if to usher her back up to the barn. I’ve seen this kind of thing before, with the horse, donkey and sheep. It’s kind of amazing to watch.

Up at the barnyard, the Farmer slid the stable door open and placed the little calf on some hay, leashed to the doorway.

The cows, breathing heavily from trotting up the field, came to sniff her over.

“Which one is the mama?” I asked. All the black ones look alike to me. I tried naming them at first: Gina (curls on her head remind me of Gina Lollobrigida); Carly; Suzie…but depending on the weather and what kind of night they’ve had,

their hair can go straight and flat as well. And then they look exactly the same.

So I gave up trying to identify them from each other.

“Stand back and you’ll see which one is the mother,” the Farmer said.

Sure enough, mama recognized her babe and resumed her task of combing its coat with her rough tongue. Getting the pair into the stable was a bit of a rodeo, as the mother cow’s nerves were shot and she didn’t trust anyone. When her calf tried to nurse, she danced in circles to get away from it.

I filled her feeders with the best hay, loaded up three water buckets that she didn’t have to share with anyone, presented her a bowl of sweet feed and welcomed her to the cow hotel.

That seemed to calm her down a bit, but we kept a close eye on her for the next few days to make sure she was feeding her calf because every time I checked on them they were both lying down, asleep in the unseasonal heat. After a week it was safe to slide open the door and release the pair to join the rest of the herd. Operation Calf Rescue: Success.

Week In RevIeW

Saturday, May 9 – Friday, May 15 Saturday was quite the community day! It was wonderful to see so many events happening in the Ward and I was very pleased to attend each and every one. The annual ‘Goode Run was a tremendous success with a record number of participants and a great fundraiser for O-YA. The Metcalfe Farmers Market held its Grand Opening for 2015 and I wish them a successful season ahead. The Osgoode Fishing Derby was also on Saturday and the weather cooperated beautifully and a good time was had by all participants and spectators.

I am very pleased to report that the “Meet the Street” event held in Metcalfe was very well attended and a great opportunity for residents and visitors to learn more about all the wonderful businesses located in the Village.

I sincerely hope this momentum continues to grow and we focus our efforts on supporting our local businesses and neighbours.

In the evening I had the pleasure of attending the Bytown Fire Brigade Fundraiser and then stopped by St. Elias for their annual Mother’s Day Celebration. I hope all Mothers were treated to a special day on Sunday and we extend our thanks for all you do.

After a very busy weekend, the week was spent with meetings in the Metcalfe Ward Office and City Hall, as well as a Council meeting on Wednesday. On Thursday I was pleased to be invited to the Police Week festivities. This is a great initiative that promotes strong community relations with kids and adults in our community and the Ottawa Police Services. As a member of Community and Protective Services Committee it was also a nice opportunity for me to speak with residents and hear some of their City wide concerns.

I would like to extend my best wishes for a safe and happy long weekend.

“We’re havin’ a heatwave; a tropical heatwave…”~Irving Berlin

he heat this past week was just what we needed to finally open our water to the barn.

It’s been frozen since Christmas. Hallelujah. We have worn out and snapped two water hoses in the past few months of filling troughs of water for the cows twice a day.

Now I look outside and the cows are nowhere in sight. I know I will find them in the heat of the day, resting in the dark cool of the barn, right beside their automatic water fountain. Oh the bliss. Cool, fresh water that refills itself.

We have three cows left to give birth. Last week one got away on us and gave birth in the second field. After the endof-day head count the Farmer realized he was missing one cow-in-waiting.

He hitched the trailer to the back of the ATV and away we went: Operation Calf Rescue.

I was the hood ornament on the front of the ATV for the first stage of the rescue.

I shot a short video on my cell phone as we rode past and startled the rest of the herd. The calves started following us, looking at their mothers first who moo’ed their approval.

Audrey’s advancing maturity became upsetting

M

y sister Audrey was growing up, and I didn’t like it one bit.

Because she was older than I was, she had more privileges, like staying up later than the rest of us whenever she felt like it.

That meant I had to go to bed alone, and as hard as I tried, I could never stay awake until she climbed the stairs. And I would open my eyes to the sun pouring in the east window.

And Audrey no longer had to wear those terrible orangey-beige cotton stockings.

She wore lisle with a seam up the back which I thought was the height of fashion.

Although, it was only talked about in hushed tones, she also wore a bra bought right out of Eaton’s catalogue.

It was called an “unmentionable,” and there was enough mystery about a girl wearing a bra that on wash day, it was even hidden under a towel when hung out on the clothesline.

My little friend on the next farm, Velma, had three older sisters, and they were already going to dances and straw-

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories berry socials, usually at the Lutheran Church, so Velma knew all there was to know about sisters growing up.

“Just wait until you sister starts bringing a boy home for Sunday supper,” she said.

“You can be sure they’ll soon be talking about a wedding.”

Well! The very thought of my sister Audrey going off and getting married sent ice water right through my veins.

“And don’t think he has to be a Lutheran either,” she said. “Two of my sisters are seeing boys from the United Church.” She curled her lip.

She said it as if it was a sin right up there with saying a swear word, or telling a lie to your mother.

Well, it wasn’t long after that little talk in the two-seater wood swing in the grape arbour, that one Saturday, the house was in a state of turmoil

like I hadn’t seen since we got a phone call that the member of Parliament was paying a call to the farm.

The house was torn apart, swept from top to bottom, lists made to take into Renfrew, and Audrey’s one and only church dress was handwashed, hung in the sun to dry, and ironed and put on a wood hanger behind the parlour door.

When I tried to find out what all the excitement was about, Audrey told me to keep out of her way, just as if I was a bug found on the back stoop.

Then there was talk about what we would be eating at Sunday night supper.

Well, Sunday supper was always the same: a roast of pork brought right out of the smokehouse.

Audrey was sent upstairs to the trunk in the hall and

told to bring down the white linen tablecloth Mother had brought from New York, and which was only used at Christmas time or when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina.

Well! Something was going on, let me tell you.

And then it hit me, just like a bolt of lightning. We would be having a boy Audrey was sweet on coming for supper.

I was torn between the excitement of having company for Sunday supper, and dread that this was the beginning of the end to having my beloved sister all to myself. Well, there was nothing I could do about it, but I was determined not to like whoever it was.

Mother wouldn’t tolerate being rude, but I certainly wouldn’t be going out of my way to be pleasant either.

Another sign that Sunday was going to be something special, was when Mother said we were to stay in our good clothes when we got home from church.

The table had been set beforehand, white tablecloth, and a special effort was made to try to have all the dishes match. We had been collecting them from the puffed wheat bags we bought from

Briscoe’s General Store.

I must say, the old pine table sure looked nice. I had no idea who would be coming, but he must be someone special for Mother and Audrey to go to all that trouble. But I had made up my mind not to like him, regardless how highfalutin he was.

Well, finally, after Audrey kept running from the window facing the lane, and going to the mirror that hung at the back door to check her hair, a car drove into the yard.

It certainly was a few steps up from the old Model T parked at the drive shed.

It was as black as your boot, and the top folded down, and you could see the shining inside right from the kitchen window.

And then this tall streak of manhood unwrapped himself from the front seat, leaving the motor purring like a kitten. His hair was slicked back and you could smell the Brylcream before he reached the back door.

Mother shook his hand, Audrey was as red as a beat, and I did nothing more than nod when Audrey said, “This is my little sister Mary.”

Well, what happened next was like something right out of a storybook.

“So this is Mary,” he said, ruffling my hair. “Well, I think a trip to Briscoe’s General Store for some ice cream is in order. What do you say, Mary?”

I was in that slick car before you could say “Jack Robinson.” Audrey was helped into the front seat, and we tore out the lane like a bullet.

I could see my three brothers lined up in the barn door, glaring. As the wind blew my hair in every direction, I prayed that Marguirite would see us when we passed her lane. Never did I feel so important. In my mind’s eye I pictured myself in a long dress with flowers in my hair at my sister’s wedding.

I didn’t care if he was Lutheran, United or a Catholic from Mount St. Patrick.

“We actually ran the course through the town and the feedback we’ve been getting has been very positive, it’s very encouraging for the future.”

The goal this year was to attract 500 participants and raise about $30,000 for the Osgoode Youth Association. The number of participants came in at 550, the largest number ever, and so far, about $28,000 has been raised, with the final fundraising total still being calculated.

Along with the runners, the event also involved 45 volunteers and 15 sponsors, which Roe said indicates the level of support for the event that has developed in the community over the years.

“The support in the community has been fantastic, we can’t thank the people of Osgoode enough for the level of support we’ve been getting,” Roe said.

The run is the main fundraising event annually for the Osgoode Youth Association. According to the OYA’s website, the association relies on funds raised through the Goode Run to exist and is the biggest single

source of income for the youth centre. In 2014, the Goode Run raised $15,885 for the O-YA, a total that will almost double this year when the final bookkeeping is completed.

The increase in funds raised this year as compared to a year ago is much needed for the youth association.

At the centre’s annual general meeting this past January, executive director Nicole McKerracher said, “If things don’t change we don’t feel OYA is sustainable financially.”

Roe said with this year’s success, it is clear that staging the run on the streets of the village is the way to go in the future.

Organizers have already held their post-run debriefing to review the strengths and weaknesses of this year’s event and there will be some changes and tweaking to the run’s route when planning for the 2016 event kicks into high gear.

“We’ve now gotten to the point that if we want to take this event from 500 people to 1,000 (participants), we have to think of how to make the experience even better for everyone, the participants and the community,” Roe said.

Mini rhubard Pavlovas are a nice light dessert Pavlova is the national dessert of New Zealand, usually made larger than these. Dazzle your guests with this mini version topped with local rhubarb. Preparation time: 40 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Baking time: 50 minutes. Serves eight.

INGREDIENTS

• 750 ml (3 cups) chopped rhubarb • 75 ml (1/3 cup) liquid honey • 10 ml (2 tsp) grated orange rind • 15 ml (1 tbsp) orange juice • 175 ml (3/4 cup) whipping cream • 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar Meringues • 4 egg whites • 175 ml (3/4 cup) granulated sugar • 5 ml (1 tsp) white wine vin-

egar • 5 ml (1 tsp) cornstarch • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla PREPARATION

In a bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about two minutes.

Sprinkle with sugar, and beat on high speed until stiff and shiny, about five minutes. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, cornstarch and vanilla. On low speed, beat the cornstarch mixture into the egg whites just until blended.

Spoon the mixture into eight mounds at least five centimetres (two inches) apart, onto two parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Using the back of a spoon, shape each mound into a nest with a slight indent in the centre. Place in a 180 C (350 F) oven and immediately reduce heat to 150 C (300 F). Bake for 30 minutes.

Turn off the heat and leave in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, honey, orange rind and juice and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until thickened -- about seven minutes. Let it cool and then chill until it’s cold. Whip the cream with sugar until it’s stiff. Fold in 175 ml (3/4 cup) of the rhubarb sauce. Spoon about 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cream mixture into each meringue. Serve topped with a dollop of the remaining rhubarb sauce.

Tips: Meringues can be filled with the cream mixture a few hours ahead, but top with the rhubarb sauce just before serving.

Make the meringues a few days ahead and store in airtight containers.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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!
