Dock project moving quickly as boating season gets underway Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Quotes are starting to come in from dock vendors to reinstall a dock at a public boat launch in Manotick, as momentum quickly builds to have a dock in place this boating season.

City of Ottawa planners and vendors have been to the site this month, and at this point it appears that a

new dock beside Bridge Street will be ready for use this summer sooner rather than later. “Vendors are feeling good about getting it done relatively quickly,” said Mel Roberts of the Manotick Village Community Association. But when that will happen depends on what option for a dock is selected as the quotes for the structure come in.

CHEO families also let you into their lives during gripping videos that document their CHEO journey with their sick or injured child.

This is the second year that Suds has contributed to CHEO with a car wash event.

Moore says it’s one of the ways his family business can support the CHEO family.

Last year Suds Car Wash raised more than $4,000 with virtually no promotional assistance as it was the very first day the business was open to the public.

“Suds Automated Express Wash can wash over 100 cars per hour, virtually eliminating wait time,” says Rick. That could equate to a significant donation.

“Three minutes is all it takes to clean, wax and dry your vehicle while supporting CHEO.” Rick will make a donation presentation during the telethon on Sunday June 7 at 3:30 p.m.

“We hope everyone takes advantage of provides the funds that finance the high-tech this opportunity to help CHEO while getting equipment and life-saving research that the best car wash in Ottawa.” help make our pediatric hospital the best Suds Car Wash is conveniently located it can be.”

The Manotick Village Community Association will celebrate its past by looking to the future, when it gathers for its annual general meeting at the Manotick branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on May 28.

And one of the goals at the AGM will be to attract new members to the organization that will get involved on an ongoing basis on projects that the MVCA has taken on.

“We want to attract people who have an interest in volunteering,” said Klaus Beltzner, MVCA president.

“I’m hoping to get more people who actually do things.

We need to attract more volunteers.”

The MVCA was founded in April, 2010, when the

Manotick Community Association and the West Manotick Community Association were amalgamated to form the MVCA, in the midst of development concerns regarding plans by Minto in the village.

Since then, the MVCA has focussed on protecting the “village” nature of Manotick.

In the lead up to the May 28 AGM, the MVCA signed up some new members at its booth during the Watson’s Mill season opening that was held on Saturday, May 16, said treasurer Grace Thrasher and she is hopeful to attract more at the AGM and also during the Dickinson Days weekend June 5-7.

The association currently has just under 500 members, well below its membership during the height of the Minto development debates in the village, but still a healthy

number for a community with a population base of about 5,000.

“We’re doing pretty well,” Thrasher said.

Beltzner said Coun. Scott Moffatt has been invited to be the keynote speaker at the AGM to talk about the future of rural Ottawa, an important issue for the village as issues such as a land use inventory and taxation concerns surrounding water emerge at city hall. “The city is considering taxing everyone who has septic wells,” Beltzner said.

“This is a really big concern for a lot of people.”

The MVCA says all members and Manotick-area residents who would like to become members ($10/person or $15/family) are invited to the AGM on May 28, staring at 7 p.m. at the Manotick Legion.

MVCA and city working together to get dock in place for summer Continued from the front

“There’s not a committed date yet,” Roberts said at the MVCA monthly meeting on May 20, adding at this point there is no way to predict the exact time line.The Manotick Village Community Association was previously approved by the City of Ottawa to receive up to $23,350 to build a floating dock at the boat launch beside the Long Island Aquatic Club off South River Drive.

Getting a new dock in place at the site has been an ongoing issue since the previous Parks Canada dock at the lo-

ottawa

cation was removed after the city bought a small piece of land beside Bridge Street from Parks Canada in the fall of 2011.

Roberts said he has received quotes in the $15,000 to $19,000 range, depending on what option is selected, but said it will be a floating dock.

“People will see a beautiful dock there,” he said. “It will be safer.” Parks Canada is giving the city a temporary permit to place a dock at the site, pending a safety review of its operation which will determine if the dock will be a permanent attraction at the site

COMMUNITY news

in the future.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt has told the Manotick News previously that he is confident that any safety issues that may arise can be mitigated to Parks Canada’s satisfaction in the future.

Roberts said he is confident that the cost of the dock will come within that grant budget and that one thing being considered is to have a commemorative plaque at the site marking the history of steamships along the Rideau.

“There’s a lot of history of boating on the Rideau,” he said.

Orford said the characters in Zoe Tacaks and Jennifer Madden’s novel, Forward to the Past, began their journey with a plunge into icy waters next to a voyageur canoe. It is a voyageur painting by Frances Anne Hopkins, who becomes a key character in the story as battles erupt against thieving time travellers. Kyleigh Brooks, Dominic Churchill,

“I loved it,” said Charlotte Andrews, a Grade 6 student, of participating in the program, adding she has every intention to continue to hone her writing skills now that she has completed the program.

“I love to write. I think it would be cool to be a writer,” Andrews said.

The eight students who took part in the program were divided into three groups, each group working together to complete their novels. Andrews was joined by Alyssa Jackson and Kiera Sarault to create their work, called The Journey to Moon France. “(They) were given the image of an Emily Carr painting.

The church in the painting, located in France, became the focal point as the authors’ characters started an adventure that carried them to distant moons around Jupiter,” explained “Let’s Write a Novel” coordinator EmilyJane Hills Orford, who is an award-winning writer from North Gower.

Orford said the students created their novels around the theme of being transferred into a painting by a Canadian artist. Each group of students

Fast and Female, a sports organization founded by Olympic cross country skier Chandra Crawford, will host an event in Ottawa on June 6 to encourage female youth to become involved in sport and celebrate female athletes.

It will be held at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and hosted by volunteers from the Ottawa Swans Australian Football Club.

Organizer Lauren Stoot said she wanted to bring the event to Ottawa after she participated in an event herself in 2007 as a youth cross country skier, and volunteered with a Fast and Female event in Thunder Bay, Ont. in 2013.

“It’s a very empowering event,” she said.

“It’s really great to see the enthusiasm that gets passed around from the program ambassadors to the participants. It’s a feel good day.”

The event will include fitness and athletic exercises, a yoga class, a healthy snack and a speech from Ottawa Swans player Emma Dickinson, who was a part of Canada’s gold

Girls take part in a past Fast and Female event.

The sports organization will host an event at the Rideau Carleton Raceway on June 6.

medal women’s team at the 2014 International Cup, and was also named to the 2014 All Star World Team.

The participants will then be invited to watch the Swan’s season opener against the Montreal Angels with Fast and Female volunteers before the day ends.

The whole day will run from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. The program costs $15 per girl, and is open to youth from ages eight to 19.

Stoot said it’s important for young girls to have positive female role models. She said her team is a good example of how women can stay active through adulthood, without becoming professional athletes.

“Growing up with sports my whole life has allowed me an outlet to have something to work towards, and I have a better work ethic because of it,” she said. “Whether it’s just to remain fit or to play a competitive sport at a high level, no matter where you end up, having sport in your life is positive.”

While the Ottawa Swans will host the event and supply volunteers, the Fast and Female program is focused on general sport and fitness. “It’s a good day to celebrate being active, fit and female,” Stoot said.

Registration is open until June 5 at www. eventbrite.ca by searching “Fast and Female Power Hour.”

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2015 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil.

Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essential to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not infinite.

A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over time your soil can become nutrient deficient, compacted or thin which can make it difficult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, PH balanced and has excellent tilth, allowing for easy air and water flow.

Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients.

How can you take a tired, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic matter. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with existing soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal time to introduce organic matter into your growing areas is in the Fall. This allows the beneficial microorganisms in your soil more time to become active before gardening season arrives. Not to worry though!

Even if you missed the window last fall, you can still get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real difference in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consisting of black earth, organic fertilizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial activity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes particles of different sizes and shapes. This results in improved airflow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compaction. The organic-based soil will also provide excellent water retention; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6” soil depth (pro tip – top off your growing areas with 2” of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.).

Step two - go get your soil, or better yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle.

Step three - till or turn over the existing soil in your growing areas.

Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the first step in reaching your garden goals for 2015. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the difference.

‘Special person’ to be honoured by fiddlers at Manotick shows Staff

Fiddlers won’t be fiddling around when they converge on Manotick to honour one of their comrades who recently died after a battle with cancer.

The RCMP Long Island Locks Conference Facility in Manotick will host awardwinning fiddlers on Friday, June 5, and Saturday, June 6, where they will play music in memory of beloved Pictou County, Nova Scotia, fiddler and singer, Fleur Mainville, 37, who lost her battle with cancer this past January.

Golf tourney to help guide dog trainers Staff

The Manotick-based Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is hoping a round of golf and some lobster will help put some much needed cash into the charity’s bank account.

The organization will be the beneficiary of a Golf Fun Day and Lobster Dinner at the Canadian Golf & Country Club, at 7800 Golf Club Way, in Ashton on Sunday, June 14.

The event includes nine-holes of golf with a cart with a shotgun start scheduled for 2 p.m. When the fun on greens is done, a full lobster dinner as part of a buffet meal will follow. Golfers of all skill levels - experienced or not - are invited to take part. The cost is $89 per person.

All proceeds from the event will be directed to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind for the training of guide dogs and assistance dogs.

As well as the golfing and dinner, there will be a silent auction and plenty of prizes, including a chance to participate in a $5,000 Putting Challenge.

Those interested in taking part can sign up online by accessing the Nine & Dine section on the www.guidedogs.ca website or you can phone (613) 692-7777 to register or get more information about the event.

As part of the Ottawa Valley Fiddle Camp organized by local area fiddler, Sherryl Fitzpatrick, this year all proceeds from both events will be donated to an education fund for her two adopted children, daughter Ava and son Dominique.

“I’ve never had the privilege of meeting Fleur but after reading newspaper articles about her you can’t help but feel that she was a very special person deserving of such an event.

“Words that stand out for me about Fleur are that she was giving, nurturing, supportive, helping others in need, inspiring, loved, positive, bright personality, warm, empathetic and humble.

“She was admired by so many it only makes sense to give back to someone who gave so much of herself,” Fitzpatrick said.

The Friday night benefit dance will feature Fitzpatrick’s music students. They will

play an old-tyme dance featuring music in the style of Don Messer. On Saturday evening, award-winning fiddlers will take the stage playing music from their latest recordings.

This year the concert will feature ECMA winner Cape Breton native Wendy MacIsaac, ECMA winner Shane Cook, ECMA nominees the Bb Sisters (Sherryl Fitzpatrick and Kimberley Holmes), Master Fiddler Gordon Stobbe, Canadian Grand Master finalist Stéphanie Lépine and multi-instrumentalist Skip Holmes on guitar.

“Fleur touched so many lives here and was an astonishing talent, in terms of her music, but it was really her generous heart and her volunteerism, her charisma,” said federal MP Peter MacKay. The dance Friday, June 5, is $5 and goes from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 6’s concert is $10 and is also from 7 to 9 p.m.

Saturday, May 16 – Friday, May 22 I hope all residents had the opportunity to enjoy the long weekend. Although, the weather cooperated for only part of the weekend, it was still a nice time to relax and spend time with family and friends.

On Tuesday morning I attended the Environment Committee meeting. Although I do not sit on this committee, as a member of Council I am permitted to participate and ask questions. I wanted more information regarding the proposed review of the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Rate Structure. This meeting allowed for additional clarification and I would encourage residents to read the section under “City News” for a more detailed explanation of what this means for rural residents.

Later that evening I had the pleasure of attending the presentation of the City of Ottawa’s vision for 2017 at the Horticultural Building at Lansdowne Park. It is exciting to see all the plans for the country’s 150th celebration.

On Thursday, I attended the South Nation Conservation Authority Board of Directors meeting. Unfortunately, the timing of this meeting often conflicts with the Community and Protective Services Committee monthly meetings, so at times I have to miss one in order to attend the other. In the afternoon, I was pleased to be involved in the Radiothon for the Bruyere Foundation. This organization has been a staple in our city for many years and it is always nice to have the opportunity to give thanks. I appreciate all the great community support shown not only on that day, but year round.

On Friday, I joined Mayor Watson in presenting a proclamation in support of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month. I would like to thank Alex from Greely who brought awareness to this condition through her Grade 10 civics course.

Thank you to her mother, Fiona, for including me in the presentation.

Beginning at noon on Friday, the Osgoode Township High School will be hosting a “Relay for Life” in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

The relay will last until midnight and I want to thank all students and volunteers for their efforts in raising funds for this important cause.

I will be hosting a number of Osgoode Ward residents on Friday evening at the inaugural Ottawa Champions baseball game. I will have more details in next week’s newsletter. Stay tuned!

The price is wrong

W

hen a group of residents has difficulty spending almost $250,000, a warning light should go off.

That light should be going off down at city hall regarding the plight of the Ottawa East Community Association, which can’t seem to spend its kitty of cash-in-lieu of parkland funds to save itself. It’s a tale that has shed light on a bureaucracy run wild.

Residents always have something that needs to be added, upgraded or fixed in their community.

Fortunately, in growing cities like Ottawa there is a steady stream of money set aside by developers to provide for community benefits such as playgrounds, field houses, splash pads and the like. Old Ottawa East has seen its fair share of development in recent years, and had amassed about $241,000 to be used in the community.

The association board looked at building a soccer field in Brantwood Park (estimated cost $300,000), a billboard on Lees Avenue ($5,667), and a concrete ping pong table for Brantwood ($17,000). None

of these prices, which were quoted to them by city staff as such projects are managed by the city, were anywhere near representing value for money. A concrete ping pong table built in Toronto, for example, would only cost around $5,600 to install.

The cause of these inflated costs, it would seem, is that city staff have a number of considerations to make outside of simply procuring and building such projects. The ping pong table, for example, would need to be made accessible, meaning providing pathways, ramps and the like in addition to just building a ping pong table. There were soil remediation issues in Brantwood as well. For a ping pong table.

This is significant. If the costs of civic projects like these are being inflated by bureaucracy, even well-intentioned bureaucracy, that needs to change.

No ping pong table in Ottawa should cost more than three times what it costs in Toronto.

A well-run city would see money spent on public goods represent fair value for those scarce dollars.

It’s questionable whether Ottawa is such a city.

I think it’s all Ottawa.

It’s a classic Ottawa story. How much of an Ottawa story it is you can tell by looking at how perfunctory the coverage is outside of the city.

While all of Canada was excited for a time when the story first broke, it is only here that the trial is being covered in exhaustive detail.

For example, the Globe and Mail, based in Toronto and calling itself Canada’s national newspaper, devotes only a few column inches to the trial each day, sometimes relying on wire services rather than its own reporters, whereas the Ottawa Citizen

We yawn at billions, but $16 hits us hard. You can spend as many millions as you want on helicopters, but don’t you dare own too many shoes.

With all of the drama the trial contains, all the universal elements, you would think it surprising that the most devoted following is a local one, but there are some possible explanations. For one thing, we here may be more fascinated by the possible political consequences of the trial than are people in other parts of the country. Politics is our game.

But there is something else. People outside the Queensway, as they say, are not as shocked by the case as are people here. The rest of Canada thinks that the type of behaviour alleged happens here all the time. It’s just the way Ottawa is.

Register today for the Ontario Entrepreneur Week breakfast Staff

Ottawa and area business leaders are invited to get their day off to a running start at the annual Ontario Entrepreneur Week breakfast Monday, June 15.

Sponsored by Metroland Media, this high-energy event will run from 7-9 a.m. at the Ottawa Conference & Event Centre, 200 Coventry Rd. “We are so pleased to be able to bring this wonderful event to Ottawa again this year,” said Mike Mount, VicePresident and Regional Publisher with Metroland East.

“The breakfast offers likeminded business people an opportunity to network in a relaxed setting and learn about a remarkable Canadian entrepreneurial success story.”

Prepare to be inspired by this year’s guest speaker, John Stanton, founder of the Running Room. His enthusiasm

for life is infectious and that will flow through his presentation as he shares the challenges and triumphs he’s experienced over his more than 25 years in business.

Like so many entrepreneurs, Stanton started small and dreamed big. From a single meeting place for running enthusiasts at the back of a shop, the Running Room has grown to more than 100 locations across Canada and the United States.

The 1,300 employees who share his vision have touched the lives of more than a million Canadians over the years, encouraging us and demonstrating how running and walking lead to greater fitness and health.

Beyond his obvious business acumen is Stanton’s zest for life and his ability to motivate others. From an overweight and out-of-shape exec-

utive who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day 30 years ago, he has now run more than 60 marathons, hundreds of road races, several triathlons including the World Ironman in Hawaii.

Taking the stage before Stanton will be local entrepreneur Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks.

Sparks and her father, high tech mogul Terry Matthews, are revitalizing the former Nepean National Equestrian Park off Corkstown Road with the goal of attracting top-flight show jumping competitors to Ottawa.

Don’t miss the June 15 event where Sparks and Stanton will bring inspiring messages to the business breakfast in Ottawa.

Residents on private services and other properties without water hookups could start paying storm water fees by 2017.

City staff are reviewing how Ottawa charges for water, sewer and storm water services in an effort to make up for falling revenues just as major infrastructure upgrades are needed.

The city’s overall water consumption has dropped 30 per cent since 2002, generating less of the revenue needed to fund the approximately $250 million in annual renewal projects planned between now and 2022, according to deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin.

The current structure charges residents with water service about $1.7 per cubic metre of water they use, with no fixed base charge.

Sewer and storm water charges are calculated as 117 per cent of that usage.

But if you don’t receive a water bill, you don’t pay for storm water services – meaning urban residents are subsidizing areas of the city on well

and septic.

Prior to 2001, storm water charges were found on property tax bills.

But that charge was transferred to the water bill during amalgamation, and tied to water usage.

To make the system more equitable, staff will put an emphasis on making sure residents pay for the services they use: if they use water, sewage and storm water, they’ll pay for all three.

If they just use storm water services, they’ll just pay for that, city treasurer Marian Simulik said.

CASH FLOW

Right now, revenues are entirely tied to water consumption, which has dropped to 1980 levels in the past decade.

The system is taking a toll on city coffers: the city received $20 million less in water revenues than it expected to in 2014 alone, Jasmin said.

To handle peak demands at the height of the summer, a structural change in how the city charges for water is need-

ed, Jasmin said.

There are a few ways to do this.

Some Ontario municipalities use a volume-only system that charges a higher rate in blocks as your usage goes up (Ottawa currently charges the same rate no matter what).

But most major North American cities – including 15 of Ontario’s largest 25 municipalities – combine a volumebased charge with a fixed base fee. Jasmin said this system combines “stability with flexibility.”

These systems can be further broken down to charge different rates for residential, commercial and industrial users. Although the potential new systems haven’t yet been modelled for Ottawa, city treasurer Marian Simulik said most municipalities with fixed/ volume systems fix about 35 per cent of the cost and leave the remaining 65 per cent to be charged on volume.

Public consultation is planned for this fall, and Jasmin said she expects staff to recommend a new structure in early 2016.

Illegal smokes leave a trail of victims: coalition Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The illegal cigarette trade is booming in Ottawa, pumping cash into organized gangs that are using the profits to further their criminal activities, including the trafficking of drugs, weapons and, in some cases, people.

But an awareness campaign that launched last week by the National Coalition Against Contraband Tobacco in partnership with National Capital Area Crime Stoppers aims to help stamp out the sale of contraband tobacco.

If more people are made aware of the farreaching implications of unregulated and non-taxed cigarettes, there is a greater chance tipsters will want to do the right thing to help police combat the lucrative racket.

“There are so many people that consider it a victimless crime ... just people cheating the taxman,” said Gary Grant, a retired Toronto police staff superintendent who now serves as the coalition’s spokesman.

“They’re really cheating us because we’re the people that the taxman collects money for to use on public services, and instead it’s going into the pockets of criminals that are just furnishing their criminal lifestyle.”

Contraband cigarettes divert about $1 billion annually in Ontario from provincial and federal tax coffers, Grant said.

Retailers, such as small convenience stores, are also feeling the effects of lost business and

the unfair competition from criminals.

“The real issue, I think, right now that should frighten most Ontarians is how involved organized crime is in this,” Grant said.

“We’re not talking a ma and pop organization.”

The RCMP estimates about 175 organized gangs in Canada are profiting from the sale of illegal cigarettes, from the street corner dealer to distributors higher up the chain.

There are also health implications for minors who are targeted by those selling their illegal wares.

“They’ll sell them a baggie of 200 cigarettes for the cost of a movie ticket, which starts a whole new generation of smokers,” said Grant.

“It undermines Ontario’s efforts to stop teen smoking and, even worse, it teaches kids that it’s OK to break the law.”

When it comes to the illicit enterprise, Ontario has the worst problem of any jurisdiction in Canada. A 2014 study revealed that one in three cigarettes purchased in this province is non-regulated, Grant said.

The problem is prolific in Ottawa, which is ranked third on the top-10 list of Ontario locations where illegal tobacco is popular among customers, Grant said, adding that last year, the Ontario Convenience Store Association commissioned a survey of cigarette butts picked up around the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

Forty-three per cent of those butts were contraband.

Grant points to Akwesasne Mohawk reserve – straddling the Canada-U.S. border near Cornwall, Ont. – which he said is considered the epicentre of contraband tobacco.

While the reserve has some legitimate cigarette factories, they are outnumbered by those which Grant said are allegedly selling under the table to organized criminals who smuggle the product into Ontario and Quebec “It’s become so lucrative that the RCMP has estimated that there’s about 50 illegal cigarette factories, (which) are churning out thousands and thousands of cigarettes, that are not paying any type of regulatory taxes,” he said.

This should set off alarm bells and prompt people to demand action.

Quebec’s enactment of Bill 59 a few years ago, which gave provincial and municipal police the authority to conduct large-scale contraband investigations, has helped.

With the recent unveiling of posters at five locations in Ottawa, National Capital Area Crime Stoppers is hoping more people will come forward with information on contraband tobacco crimes.

“We’ve had tips in the past specifically around contraband tobacco and we would welcome the public to continue reporting that,” said Richard McMullen, president of the local Crime Stoppers.

“Ideally, we would like to get the distribution level and the (organized criminals) that are engaged in the business side,” he said.

Submitted

Richard McMullen, president of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers, and Gary Grant, spokesman for the National Coalition Against Contraband Tobacco, unveil an ad at a bus stop in Ottawa on May 19 designed to raise public awareness about contraband tobacco.

“It’s a cash cow for criminal elements to basically fund other criminal activity.

“Whether that’s guns and gangs or drug activity or other criminal undertakings, it’s something that’s in our community and it’s easy for us to help raise awareness and hopefully discourage folks from taking part.”

The bus stop ads and campaign will be up until May 31, which is World No Tobacco Day.

New aprons, pinnys were a tradition each year

M

other blamed it all on a busy winter.

There always seemed to be something to do when the icy blasts of the long cold nights pounded the old log house, things that prevented Mother from a winter job that didn’t get done that year. And that was sewing up a batch of new aprons.

Other years, the old singer sewing machine stood at the ready: for those few minutes Mother could squeeze into an evening, when she would churn out another pinny, and sometimes she could make at least two on a quiet evening.

But that year, the quilt frame stayed in the kitchen against the north wall until the winter was over.

Most nights it was rolled out and Mother and Audrey stitched after supper, sometimes until it was time to go to bed.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories So the sewing up of a fresh batch of aprons had to wait.

Now it was time.

Flour bags from the mill in Renfrew had been washed, soaked in javel water, washed a few times more, and stretched out on the clothesline to dry.

They had been split open and Mother was able to get most of the coloured printing out of them.

The stubborn ones which refused to give up their “pride of the valley” lettering would be made into everyday tea towels, and sometimes, bloomers for me, which caused me great embarrass-

ment if anyone accidentally saw the printing when I had to bend over.

Aprons, or pinnys, as we called them, were as important as the braided rugs on the floor. Flour bags made up the bulk of the aprons, but once a year Mother went to Walker’s Store in Renfrew and bought a few yards of a heavy white cotton that came on a long roller, not folded like the many bolts of Dan River cotton on the shelves, and this material was turned into longer aprons, which I thought at the time were made for someone at least six feet tall. They

covered your entire body, from your neck to below your knees and for me that meant right to the floor, with a good portion about my feet like a bed sheet.

I had to wear one of these long pinnys when I churned butter, covering me from my chin to my ankles.

Mother wore a clean one every day, because even if there wasn’t a spot on it, it had to be changed for a clean fresh one when she started her day.

One of these long pinnys hung on a nail at the back door too, just in case some unexpected visitor came calling. It would never do to greet someone in anything but a freshly washed and ironed pinny.

If there was any of this store-bought cotton left over, a few bibbed aprons, and half aprons were made and these were trimmed with pieces of

Dan River cotton.

Mother even made smaller aprons for me, and I was expected to wear one no matter what chore I was doing in the house.

An apron was necessary, and that’s all there was to it.

When Father was cooking up a meal of his German foods, he too, of course, had to wear a long white pinny.

His wasn’t to cover his clothes and keep them free of flying grease, but rather to give him something to wipe his hands on when he was stirring the pans and pots on the stove. By the time his meal was ready, the apron was ready for the wash.

My favourite aprons were the ones with bibs, which had a frill around them, always in a contrast to the apron itself.

These were considered “company” aprons.

Besides the one alwaysclean white apron that hung

at the back door in case of unexpected company, all the aprons were kept in a washstand under the window looking out into the back yard.

Why we needed so many aprons was beyond me.

And when Monday washday rolled around, it was a common sight to see at least a half dozen long white pinnys, one or two “company” aprons, and a couple half aprons on the clothes line, all hanging in order of course.

Aprons were as necessary as flour-bag underwear back then, and expected to be just as spotless. Both very much a symbol of the times.

Mooney’s Bay lifeguard wins rescue award Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

When William Dansereau started his paddle board race at the 2014 Seniors Lifesaving Championships in Toronto last August, he didn’t expect to ac-

tually have to rescue anyone.

The Mooney’s Bay lifeguard was in first place in his heat when he noticed a fellow competitor floating on his back, conscious but unmoving.

Thinking quickly,

Dansereau used a paddleboard technique to roll the swimmer onto his board and stabilize him until a police boat could get there. He then helped police transfer the swimmer onto the boat.

Amazingly, the Riverside

South teen still managed to place second.

For his efforts, Dansereau was recently awarded the Livesaving Society Rescue Award of Merit from the Ontario chapter during a committee meeting at city hall on

May 21.

Dansereau is a city lifeguard at Mooney’s Bay beach during the summer, and an indoor lifeguard at the Nepean Sportsplex in the winter months.

Ontario Lifesaving Society president Paul Hulford congratulated Dansereau at the meeting, calling him an “outstanding representative” of lifeguards across the country.

“Your rescue intervention perfectly illustrates the Lifesaving Society’s motto: ‘Whomsoever you see in distress, recognize in him a fellow man,’” Hulford said.

He said that drowning incidents are trending downwards in Ontario, but it continues to be a

major issue, particularly for kids.

It is the leading cause of preventable death for children ages one to four, and the second leading cause for kids under 10, he said. But there’s been significant progress. According to the society’s 2014 annual report, drowning incidents dropped 23 per cent compared to 2013 in Ontario – a change partly attributed to the long winter and cooler temperatures in 2014.

No children under five drowned in Ontario in 2014 compared to five deaths in 2013, and the number of drowning deaths for children under 19 was cut in half between 2013 and 2014.

About 500 Canadians die from preventable water-related incidents every year.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Riverside South resident William Dansereau, middle, was recognized on May 21 for his rescue of a fellow competitive swimmer last summer. Community and Protective Services chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans and Ontario Lifesaving Society president Paul Hulford presented the Ottawa lifeguard with the Lifesaving Society Rescue Award of Merit before the committee meeting got underway at city hall.

Melnyk recovering after transplant Rebecca Field

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and a liver donor have started the postliver transplantation recovery following a transplant procedure, according to doctors at the Toronto hospital where the procedure was performed.

The donor was one of more than 500 people who Rebecca Field stepped forward after a Dr. Atul Hamar, director of the multiple-organ transplant program at public appeal was made by the University Hospital Network, discusses Eugene Melnyk’s successful the Ottawa Senators for a living liver transplantation liver transplant at Toronto General Hospital on May 21.

donor. The donor was chosen only a few days after the appeal was made.

“The (donor’s) motivation to do this is to help Mr. Melnyk to return to good health, to enjoy his family and friends, and most importantly, to bring the Stanley Cup home to the Ottawa Senators,” said Dr. David Grant, director of the living donor liver transplant program at Toronto’s University Health Network.

Grant said the donor hopes that others will be in-

these heroic and caring individuals,” said Grant. One in three people waiting for a transplant in Ontario will die because a donor doesn’t become available in time.

“This appeal is a winwin situation,” said Dr. Atul Humar, director of the multi-organ transplant program.

“Organ donation or the lack of the available donors is the single biggest challenge we face as a multiple organ transplant program.

It’s why our patients die because they are not able to get an organ on time.”

Humar said any appeal like this can help get potential donors to register online to be an organ donor after death.

“It’s truly humbling to work with this patient,” said Dr. Ian McGilvray, the transplant surgeon who performed the procedure, referring to the donor.

Melnyk and his donor will both be in recovery at the hospital for one to two weeks, and then at home for three to four months.

Melnyk’s family released a statement thanking the donor for his generosity and a fast recovery.

“To the anonymous donor, you are an incredible person and we truly admire your unselfish act of kindness and courage to be a living liver donor,” reads the statement.

spired by his story, and that both the donor and Melnyk are in stable condition and recovering.

The donor has chosen to remain anonymous to both the public and Melnyk.

The Senators owner went into liver failure and decided to appeal to the public while on the wait list for a deceased liver transplantation donor, and after none of his close friends or family were a successful match for a donation.

“Live liver donation is offered as an option to these patients as a way to reduce the risk of dying while waiting for a scarce or deceased liver transplant,” said Grant at a news conference at Toronto General Hospital on May 21.

The University Health Network’s multi-organ transplant team doesn’t help a patient solicit a live donor, but will assess whether those who come forward are a suitable match.

Melnyk’s procedure will now free up his place on the deceased liver transplant waiting list. There are currently around 1,500 people waiting for a transplant.

Twenty of the people who came forward to donate have decided to continue the process and donate to someone else in need.

“Many lives will be saved as a result of this appeal and we as a community should be proud of

We’re looking for Carriers to deliver our newspaper!

Centrepointe Theatre invited Ottawa theatregoers to “escape the everyday” when it announced the lineup for its upcoming season on May 5.

The theatre has curated 15 comedy, musical, family friendly and variety acts to host between Oct. 2 this year, and May 1, 2016.

“This is our third season focusing on the four pillars: comedy, music, family and

variety. And these four pillars, it’s really what people have been asking for,” said Barb Brunzell, manager of audience and partnership development for art centres of the City of Ottawa. “About two years ago we brought back family programming ... We hadn’t programmed family programming in house for about five years. We’ve brought it back and now it’s up there neckand-neck with comedy, which is our number-one seller.”

The season’s brochure dares

comedy lovers to “create new memories and laugh until your cheeks hurt” with performances by Howie Mandel in October, Ron James in November, the Debaters in February, and Stephen Wright in February.

The Just for Laughs Road Show will return in April with an as-yet unannounced bill of standup comics.

On the musical front, Gaelic group the Irish Rovers will perform in November, Classic Albums Live will perform Pink Floyd’s The Wall in March, and Cape Breton coal miners’ choir Men of the Deeps will sing in April.

The theatre has a roster of family friendly acts planned especially for children, including performances by the Imagination Movers in November and the Okee Dokee Brothers in December. Classic children’s stories will come to life in March and May with an animated screening of Room on the Broom and a theatrical adaptation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Mermaid Theatres.

Adding a dash of variety, British illusionist Darcy Oake will perform an age-old art form with a modern twist with his magic act in November.

ArcAttack will also come to the theatre in November, blending music with electrifying science for an interactive performance that is part science experiment and part rock concert. In one of the last acts of the season, Ballroom with a Twist will bring past contestants from Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, and American Idol to the stage for a spectacle of dance.

Tickets sales for the season opened to the public on May 19. Tickets are available through Centrepointe Theatre’s box office at 613580-2700 or online at www. centrepointetheatres.com.

miss bottle feeding the baby lambs. Having them recognize me and follow me around the barnyard, bleating for a bottle.

I also miss my horse. She and I didn’t do a whole lot together, because I really don’t know my way around a horse.

I grew up just down the road from the Williams’ farm on Johnston so I occasionally got up on a horse and never had a bad experience. In that way I don’t have a fear of horses, so that’s good.

But I don’t really know what to do with them and I have no idea how to train

them. So Misty had a rather relaxed existence here on the farm. She spent her days hanging out with Donkey, who took the place of her sister Ashley when she died suddenly of a fever, or from eating toxic tree bark, or from an allergic reaction to penicillin – we still don’t know which.

Having Ashley die on us after just a year in our care really shook our confidence as horse owners. It’s quite a responsibility, this extremely intelligent, strong, 1800 lbs of muscle waiting to be given something to do, depending on you for its care and feeding. When Ashley left us – left Misty, really – we decided to send our remaining horse away to be bred.

That didn’t work. The first sleep-away visit was to a Belgian horse farm where the breeding is very controlled.

I am so happy we made the decision to let her go.

She is now with someone who knows horses. Roy Sherrer has her hitched and pulling a wagon and even sent us photos and video so we can see our old horse in her new digs.

Springtime is pretty quiet on the farm, now that most of our cows have given birth. We have three cows yet to go but we don’t even know if they are pregnant. They aren’t talking. At least it’s warm enough now that if they decide to give birth beyond the barnyard, as the last one did, the calf won’t freeze to death. I don’t think we have any coyotes around to terrorize the new calves either. They left when they realized the sheep were gone.

No sheep to shear, no lambs to feed, no horse to brush.

I guess I’ll have no excuses about looking for time to weed my vegetable garden this summer.

Lil Homie

This is Lil Homie, my daughter’s cat. She got her name from these Li’l Homie figurines similar to Fat Albert plastic figurines found in gumball machines. The owner was a collector and when he started finding little chewed up arms and legs all over the house, he thought that Li’l Homie would be better off keeping our cat Binks, company. Homie just loves Christmas and can’t wait to plow into the manger and disperse the Magi and the Shepherds. For a 7 year old cat, she is very cuddly and rambunctious. The perfect company for our aging cat Binks.

drive by the sheep farm on County Road 43 and slow down to watch the lambs chasing each other across the barnyard. That’s the part I miss. I don’t miss having to help a ewe with a difficult birth, or trying to convince her to mother her young or allow them to suckle.

I don’t miss sick lambs and lambs that die in your arms.

all wrong – what do I know?) are kept in neighbouring stalls, where they can smell, hear and communicate with each other.

When the stud first introduced himself to Misty through the wall, she gave it a sharp kick and snorted her disgust. The farmer kept a close eye on the pair until Misty seemed to be softening up a bit in her response to the male horse. Eventually they were brought out into the main room of the barn, securely tied, and the male was assisted in jumping up on our female horse. This farm does controlled breeding, they explain, so that there are less injuries, the breeding is monitored, and the other horses on the farm don’t get in the way.

Again, it didn’t work.

Misty came home with her hide worn off her hips from the stud’s hooves, and she also sported a new bad attitude for a few days. The breeding didn’t take. The second attempt didn’t either.

Now Misty lives at Shermount Farms. I miss her but

Life is all about a good run for Rob Watson.

The 2013 Canadian Marathon champion, Rob led the Canadian contingent of the IAAF Silver label Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon last weekend.

At 31, the 6’3” runner tips the scales at a slim 150 pounds at race weight.

To remain in front of the pack, Rob trains passionately and maintains his weight and energy with healthy, fresh food.

“I simply love to run,” Rob admits. “It has brought me a ton of happiness, it has provided me the opportunity to travel the world and meet many, many amazing people along the way.”

With a family background that focused on athletics, Rob has been running almost as long as he has been able to walk.

“My Aunt was an Olympic Heptathlete and my older brothers were good runners as well. So I guess running was a just natural in my family.”

After a solid finish in Run Ottawa’s Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, Rob has his sights set on the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. To prepare, he will maintain a strict diet.

“I tighten up during a marathon build and the last eight weeks I am pretty strict.

Generally though, I eat a lot of carbs to fuel, protein to recover and water to hydrate.

I snack on fruits/veggies. I avoid over processed foods and processed sugar. I try to keep my diet as natural as possible.”

“Carbs are most important for training,” advises Rob. “You need those for fuel. I eat a lot of yams, sweet potatoes, brown rice and oatmeal. For recovery you need protein; chicken or eggs are my go to. I also drink a lot of smoothies.”

On the day of a marathon, Rob’s menu is all about energy.

“Leading up is a big ole’ carbo load; lots of yams and rice. Avoid leafy greens or too much protein as that is harder to digest.

Morning of race; black coffee, bagel with a little peanut butter and banana. Constantly sipping on sports drinks to keep hydration topped up.”

At a recent nutritional tour given at Farm Boy, the official Fresh Food Supplier of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, Rob shared his advice for people trying to eat right.

“Stick to the basics and don’t do anything too drastic – if you try to make a sudden big change it will affect your body and it’ll be harder to stick to it. Small changes over time work best. Start by switching out white sugar for honey, snack on carrots instead of chips.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Also portion control is key, nothing wrong with a cookie or two, just avoid eating the whole bag!”

“Be mindful of what you are eating and why, food is fuel. If you fuel with garbage, there is a good chance you are going to perform like garbage.”
