Local businesses to benefit from 2016 Canada Summer Jobs program Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

There are 56,000 hours of work to be done this summer in the Carleton riding, to be undertaken by 156 Canada Summer Jobs students.

On Tuesday, May 24, Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre announced at Watson’s Mill, this year’s 2016 Canada Summer Jobs program is a great success for not-forprofit organizations such as the mill and Dickinson House.

“I always believe that the bulk of the money (from

the program) should go to the not-for-profit sector,” he said.

The Canada Summer Jobs program subsidizes the wages of summer students for small businesses with 50 or fewer employees, making it easier for them to hire more staff during the busy summer months.

Students eligible for the program must be between the age of 15 and 30 who are enrolled in school full-time with the intention of returning to school the following year.

Funding approved for 156 summer student positions in Carleton riding Continued from the front

Poilievre’s Carleton riding will receive funding for 156 summer students this year.

According to the provincial government, the Highway 417 project is part of the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history, about $160 billion over 12 years.

The exact cost of the local work was not released, as the government is still in the tendering process for that work.

The government reports approximately 160,400 vehicles travel Highway 417 every day.

Chiarelli said the widening is in response to the need to reduce congestion, but added people should be encouraged to ride their bikes or take transit.

“We will need roads for the foreseeable future,” Chiarelli said. “We are not banning roads, but we are very transit oriented for the near future.”

runs from Tunney’s Pasture station in the west to Blair Road at Highway 174 in the east (Blair station), is expected to open in 2018.

The province announced part of the funding will include paving and replacing overhead signs on Highway 416 between Fallowfield Road and Highway 417 and repairing bridges on Highway 417 from Richmond Road to Maitland Avenue.

Paving overheard sign replacements will also be completed on Highway 417 from Island Park Drive to Nicholas Street, and paving will take place from the Highway 174 “Split” at Highway 417/Ottawa Regional Road 174 through to Ramsayville Road.

174 WIDENING

Currently, the Ontario government has provided funding to conduct an environmental assessment on the potential to widen the road.

Meilleur said that conversation is ongoing, but there are no current plans to widen the highway at the moment.

No foul play is suspected in the case of a body found partially submerged in the Rideau River in Osgoode at around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 25.

Ottawa police have completed their investigation into what they originally called a suspicous death, saying that they will not release a cause of death or identity as no foul play is now suspected.

The body was found by a passerby Wednesday morning in what is usually a quiet neighbourhood outside of Osgoode proper.

The street quickly became a bustle of activity as Ottawa Police Services investigated the case.

The body was found at 3634 River Rd. at around 11:15 a.m. Police arrived

ambulances and special equipment vehicles – including an Ottawa police boat – lined the shoulders of the residential street prompting many curious drivers to stop and question what was going on.

Neighbours who have

lived across the street from the scene since the ’80s said nothing like this has ever happened so close to home.

Const. Marc Soucy said an autopsy was performed on Thursday and revealed that there was no foul play involved.

6 Manotick News - Thursday, June 2, 2016

It’s the biggest birthday bash in Manotick, and everyone’s invited.

The 40th annual Dickinson Days festival is coming to the village once again from June 3 to 5, in celebration of the birthday of Moss Kent Dickinson, the founder of Manotick.

Dickinson Days is held on the first weekend of June every year to coincide with Dickinson’s birthday on June 1. He was actually born in 1822, but the celebrations are still going strong.

“He was important to Manotick’s history,” said Donna Smith, executive director of the local BIA. “We should still be celebrating his birthday!”

The weekend will be as busy and entertaining as it is every year, Donna said, with a few new events mixed in as well.

The event kicks off with a parade at 7 p.m. through the streets of Manotick. Afterwards, at 8:15 p.m., there will be a family show with Dr. Kaboom at the Manotick Arena & Community Centre. The annual fireworks show will finish the day at 9:30 p.m.

Saturday, June 4 is by far the busiest day of the festival, Smith said.

Things get started at the annual pancake breakfast at Dickinson Square between 7 and 11 a.m. From there, guests can visit Pioneer Days at Waston’s Mill (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Dickinson House (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), which also overlaps with Ottawa’s Doors Open event.

For the younger ones, the Berkley Kids Catch & Release Fishing Derby will be held at the Mill Dam between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Smith said the event is free and all equipment is provided.

For lunch, there will be an M&M barbecue in Dickinson Square between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Throughout that day, the event features other activities such as the Village Craft Fair, horse-drawn wagon rides, a family variety show and the farmers’ market.

Also, more than 100 vendors will be set up throughout the village, offering food, drinks and other trinkets to guests of the event.

New to the festival this year is the inaugural Paint the Village event, where multiple artists will be set up around Manotick to create art in real time inspired by their surroundings.

Several businesses will have “Creation Station” tents set up out front as a hub for some of these artists so festival goers can watch while they work. See www.paintthevillage.com for more information and a map of Creation Station locations.

Sunday, June 5 is a more leisurely time at Dickinson Days.

The featured event on Sunday is the Paint the Village silent auction, where attendees can bid on the art created on Saturday by participating artists. Smith said this is a unique opportunity to become the owner of art inspired by and created in Manotick.

All funds raised will be split between the artist, Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and the Youth of Manotick Association (YOMA).

Both Dickinson House and Watson’s Mill will also be open to visitors on Sunday.

“There’s a lot going on over the weekend,” Smith said, adding that much of the event, including parking, is free. “We hope to see a good crowd.”

Connected to your community

Sens and city big winners with Phillips

I

t was expected.

The May 26 retirement of Chris Phillips as an NHL player was a day of celebration in more ways than one.

A celebration of what is so rare these days, a professional sports career that started and ended with the same team.

A celebration of all that Phillips had accomplished on the ice as a hockey player, and a celebration that Phillips, after just under 20 years as a staple of the Senators’ blueline, will be staying with the team in a front office role that involves community programs, alumni relations and business development.

That front office role plays to Phillips’ strengths not only as a former hockey player but as a man, who along with his wife Erin and his family, has shown over his time in this city that as a member of the community he now calls home, he has always been an all-star.

Let’s be honest, as a No. 1 overall NHL draft pick in 1996, Phillips was not the game changer for an organization that some other number ones have been.

He was no Sidney Crosby or Mario Lemieux, or Connor McDavid.

He had a long, and productive career for the Ottawa Senators, but you could never call Phillips a superstar on the ice.

The Senators did not score a so-called generational top draft pick player such as Crosby has become, when they picked Phillips first overall in the NHL draft.

But the Senators did score big with Phillips in getting a special person who has enriched our community through his tireless efforts with charities and other community initiatives that he, and his family, have taken to heart.

Phillips has been a community superstar, and at the end of the day, that will always be more important than how many points a player gets. “Today is a happy day,� Phillips, who goes down in team history as having played more games for the organization than anyone else, said at his retirement press conference.

Indeed, despite all the well-deserved accolades that have been coming Phillips’ way, perhaps the best news is that Phillips and his family now call Ottawa their home and they will continue to enrich our community for years to come.

And, for the City of Ottawa, that is as big a win as you can get on or off the ice.

Laser awareness may not be good enough

P

eople do behave badly and preventing them from doing so is one of the things we expect government to do. So it was with a certain amount of interest that we anticipated Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s response to a growing misuse of laser pointers.

While laser pointers have many positive uses, aiming them at airplanes is not one of them. An increasing number of people have been doing that. In the U.S. there were more than 5,000 laser incidents reported last year, up about 1,000 from the year before. In Canada, there were 600 incidents and there have been 148 incidents so far this year.

Some laser pointers can shoot beams as far as eight kilometres.

When someone on the ground aims a high-powered laser at an

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town airplane, the pilot can be temporarily blinded and disoriented, with potentially disastrous consequences for him and his passengers.

The head of the Air Canada Pilots Association, wants laser pointers to be listed as banned weapons that could be seized by border agents and police. The British Airline Pilots association demanded that laser pointers be classified as offensive weapons after a Virgin Atlantic flight was forced to turn back after it was struck by a beam outside Heathrow Airport in March.

So, what did Canada’s transport minister do? He said the RCMP and local police will step up enforcement. He said offenders will face up to $900,000 in fines, five years in prison, or both. That was good. But mostly he announced an awareness campaign. It will make use of social media to tell people that pointing lasers at airplanes is bad. There’s a hashtag and everything. And there’s a YouTube video too.

Will that really do it, do you think? The former Conservative government tried something similar a year or two ago. Obviously, it didn’t work, so there should be some incentive to go further.

secretary to the minister of justice and the government’s point person on the legalization of marijuana, criticized the number of marijuana dispensaries that are popping up in Canada’s big cities. They were reckless and illegal, he said. But he didn’t say if the feds were going to do anything about them. Cities are trying to handle the problem through municipal licensing department. Perhaps the feds could shame them on Twitter?

Returning to lasers, doesn’t it make sense to stop these things from being sold and distributed?

Even those who celebrate the positive uses of lasers say that there is no justification for laser pointers beyond a certain power.

It is already illegal to point a laser at an aircraft, so it is not as if there is no precedent for acting.

The government could draw a line, referencing the power of a laser, beyond which it would be illegal to sell or own.

After his announcement, the transport minister was asked about the possibility of such action. According to the CBC, he said “We will evaluate whether our attempt to re-educate Canadians is successful.�

The evidence upon which the evaluation is based will be in the sky, near Canadian airports.

Electrifying news for canal Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Things are about to get electric on the Rideau Canal.

Starting mid-June, Ottawa Boat Cruise will be launching its first, and one-andonly in North America, 100 per cent electric boat on the canal.

The company tested the waters on May 26 in Sanscartier Park in Gatineau, where the boat was released into the Ottawa River for the first time.

Ottawa Boat Cruise president Robert Taillefer said he was interested in building an electric boat in an effort to reduce emissions along the canal, adding that he is proud of the elctric boat project and it will be a legacy for his children.

MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

Robert Taillefer, president of Ottawa Boat Cruise gets ready to launch his electric boat in the Ottawa River on May 26. Taillefer shares the moment with his son, Zachary. built the boat in 12 weeks and it took about 2,000 hours. Martin Lauzon of Marc Marine said the vessel will be very quiet as it makes its way along the canal.

“I’m really proud of it, I can’t wait to see it on the water,” Lauzon said.

The boat has large solar

panels on its roof, and can seat 98 guests in a new, hop on and hop off, service.

Taillefer said Ottawa Boat Cruise will run tests in the Ottawa River for the next week or so, with the goal being to have the cruise open for business by the middle of June.

“It was a stubborn fix,” said fire investigator Hans Schirmer.

Several detachments were called to assist in controlling the flames, with crews getting things under control around 12:54 p.m. Firefighters were still battling flames in the basement of the house at 2 p.m.

Danielle Cardinal, public information officer with Ottawa Fire Services, said no one was home at the time of the blaze but two small dogs did not survive.

Investigations are still underway, and a cause has not yet been confirmed, but a release from Ottawa Fire Services states it is suspected the fire began in the garage of the home.

World Curling Federation and NRC work to resolve brush head controversy Joseph Morin joe.morin@metroland.com

It’s all about the broom.

The World Curling Federation, (WCF), has partnered with the National Research Council, (NRC) to resolve an issue that threatens to change the way curlers play their sport around the world.

The North Grenville Curling Club was the focus of attention for three days as the NRC went about the painstaking business of testing, evaluating and measuring the effects that more than 50 different curling brush head technologies have on the ice surface and the effect of that technology on where the stones come to rest.

The fabric that the broom head is made of has caused a stir in curling circles the world over.

“There were no specifications or rules for equipment beyond that they couldn’t damage the ice. So we are starting with a fresh page,”

said Graham Prouse the WCF’s vice president for the Americas region.

“When all of this started, we had nothing to fall back on, other than the damage to the ice.”

During the 2015-2016 curling season manufacturers created several fabrics that, they felt, would provide for better waterproofing for the brush part of the average curling broom. Along the way they also created fabrics that had a greater effect than they intended on the outcome of a curling match.

Because of these new fabrics, the WCF issued a moratorium on certain brushes because of the profound effect they had on the ice surface as well as the trajectory of a stone.

With the 2018 Winter Olympics on the horizon, the WCF wanted to have this particular issue in its sport resolved.

In a press release, Kate Caithness, the president of

the world curling federation stated, “Through the rigorous testing taking place this week, we hope to formulate a set of policies and rules pertaining to brush head technology and sweeping techniques, which will be presented to our member associations for ratification.”

The plan is to have all this accomplished before the start of the 2016-2017 season, she added.

An integral part of curling is sweeping the stone or rock as it makes its way down the ice. The sweeping can help the stone increase the distance it travels as it slows down as well as move the stone to the left or right of its trajectory.

Traditionally the fate of every shot has rested with the skill, experience and feel, a player has for that particular shot on that ice under those special conditions.

Throwing the perfect curling shot is as intuitive as it is the result of technical ex-

cellence on the part of the curler.

The NRC used lasers and trackers to measure the respective changes in the distance, speed and trajectory, acceleration and rotation of a curling stone as it slides down a sheet of ice as a result of the sweeping technique and brush head materials used in the traditional way.

Putting the testing procedure together and getting curling association from around the world to take part was a challenge.

“Obviously there is a lot at stake. It has been a tough year to say the least. It has been tough on the athletes, tough on the manufactures,” said Prouse.

“We came in with the philosophy that we were going to let the evidence or the finding of what we are seeing here point us in the direction we needed to go. We did not want to come into this with a predetermined outcome,”

he said.

Getting the NRC involved was a logical decision.

“We think they are critical to this part. The processes they have in place are beyond our scope. With the National Research Council comes a lot of experience, expertise and comes with assurance we will have, at the end of the day, some comfort for us, comfort for the sport, and comfort for spectators, media and manufactures that this was done right,” said Prouse.

“Wherever we land in terms of rules, regulations and specifications will have been arrived at properly,” he said.

Choosing the North Grenville Curling Club as the best site for the testing was made by the WFC after considering the reputation the curling rink had. Ernie Fafard the president of the North Grenville Curling Club said that the federation went to Ottawa. There was

THE ART OF PERFORMANCE

not a facility there they could use. Kemptville was selected because of its proximity to Ottawa, its great club reputation and the quality of the ice there. The Royal LePage OVCA Ladies Classic which is part of the world tour calls the North Grenville Curling Club Home.

Emma Miskew, a two-time Worlds Women’s Championship medalist attended the testing and commented on her own experience with the new technology. “We have seen more manipulation of the stones than we have ever seen in the past,” she said.

“The technology has gotten too advanced and too good and it was taking away from the individual thrower.”

New regulations based on the data collected during the three days in Kemptville will be presented for approval by WCF members at the WCF’s Annual General Assembly, to be held in Stockholm Sweden in September 2016.

Welcome to Farmers’ Market season

T

he intrepid Terresa and I set out to the Kemptville Farmers’ Market early May for the first of the season. Everyone else (about two dozen farmers) had tents set up so we attempted to assemble ours.

We got the poles and canvas out of the bag and quickly realized it would be a much more difficult task than first imagined. Not only was it not an easy-up tent, it was a bit rusty on the connectors. We almost needed a mallet to get it together. Some lovely passers-by stopped by to help, because the two-man (or two-farmwife) job quickly turned into a four-man assignment.

Within seconds of our mini circus tent being fully erected, the wind whipped up and under and threatened to carry it – and us – across the parking lot. We quickly released the hinges

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife and slid it down, collapsed it and packed it back in the bag. Actually it wasn’t all that quick; the rusty hinges needed a bit of bashing to come loose.

I’m afraid I wasn’t much help. When I’m in the middle of a disaster of this magnitude I tend to pitch a giggle fit that cannot be brought under control until danger has passed. Terresa gritted her teeth and calmly took matters into her own hands. The tent was packed away before it could fly away into the other tents, wreaking havoc and potentially damaging vehicles or injuring someone.

We spent that first farmers’ market looking like the ticket sellers at the gate, with a table and chairs but no tent. I was happy though – we had good sales and despite the freezing wind, the crowd was steady and interested.

This week we have a new tent.

The Grand Opening of the Kemptville Farmers’ Market season happens this Sunday, May 29th. You need to be there, for a number of reasons. Dandelion Festival isn’t happening this year, so in its place VegStock 2.0 will bring four live bands to the outdoor

stage for your rockin’ and rollin’ enjoyment. The kids will have a blast too because Big Sky Ranch is coming with their petting zoo. There will also be face painting for the kids. For the rest of you, the market is welcoming more farmers than ever this year. Enjoy fresh breads, hot samosas and perogies, homemade jellies and jams, pickles, salsa, soup and more.

The end of May is the perfect time to start your veggie garden. Get a head start with hearty seedlings that local farmers have started inside. Heritage tomatoes, kale, cucumbers and other delights.

There are a few exciting things happening with our local farmers’ market this year. Its prominent central location is now clearly marked with a permanent sign, so people will know where it is even if they aren’t passing by on a Sunday.

Also, for July and August, you can get your marketing done on a Wednesday evening. Stock up on fresh produce and homemade treats before heading to the cottage for the weekend.

I’m happy to be sharing a stall with Terresa of Triple B Ranch this year. We will be taking orders for fresh eggs, chickens, lamb and turkey. Sometimes we will have frozen chickens on site.

Terresa has some awesome dill pickles and heartburnin-a-jar (cucumbers in vinegar). When the season gets going we will both have fresh veggies from our gardens to sell, and I make a mean salsa.

My primary focus on the farm is writing, of course, so I will have my books with me every Sunday. You can stop by and pick up a copy, and I will sign it for you.

Some people say they steer clear of farmers’ markets because of the

higher price of many items, as compared to what you might pay in a grocery store.

I ask you to change your way of thinking. By supporting our local farmers, we are contributing to an economy where the veggies have far less distance to travel from farm to table.

That means each tomato and cucumber has a much smaller carbon footprint as it didn’t come here unripe, on a truck from a far-off garden in another province or country.

And if the environmental ethics don’t get you, consider the taste of a sun-ripened tomato fresh from the vine, as opposed to one that ripened under fluorescent lighting in a grocery store.

Worth a few extra dimes?

I think so. See you at the farmers’ market! www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com Canadian Residual Value 2016 Best Premium Compact Utility

Senators General Manager Pierre Dorion made note of Phillips’ many accomplishments — from being active in the community to representing Canada at hockey events on numerous occasions.

Phillips, 38, was drafted first overall by the Senators in 1996 out of Lethbridge of the Western Hockey League. He tallied 71 goals and 217 assists over his 19 years with the club. He added another six goals and nine assists in 114 NHL playoff games.

While Phillips will no longer patrol the blueline for the Senators, that doesn’t mean he’s about to disappear from the organization. He has accepted a front office position

with the team that was offered to him by the team’s owner Eugene Melnyk and president Cyril Leeder. His new role involves community programs, alumni relations and business development.

Phillips said playing for the Stanley Cup in 2007 against Anaheim was an experience that nears the top of his list of memories.

Of players on the current Senators roster, Phillips was one of the last remaining players that Murray actually coached.

“He had good character, he tried hard and played hard,” said Murray. “We will miss his leadership and we had hoped he would come back, but we had some real good

runs.”

Phillips actually played his last game on Feb. 5, 2015. A serious back injury kept him off the ice since then, and his retirement was not unexpected.

“Professional hockey takes a toll on a body,” he said. “I didn’t think it would be the last one.”

Phillips is proud of what he accomplished in the game, including world junior gold as a youngster.

As he bowed out as a player, he thanked plenty of people from former team owner Rod Bryden to the team’s fans.

“The fans made Ottawa a true hockey city from the red mile to talking in the hardware store,” said Phillips.

He thanked his wife Erin and his kids, as well as his parents for their inspiration.

“I’m grateful for all of it,” Phillips said. “I’m excited to still be a part of it and look forward to the next chapter.”

Phillips, a Fort McMurray native, is also involved with a fundraising party sponsored by the City of Ottawa that will help those affected by the wildfires in that Northern Alberta city. The Ottawa4FortMac fundraiser will be held at the Aberdeen Pavilion, 1000 Exhibition Way at Lansdowne Park, on June 8 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

14 Manotick News - Thursday, June 2, 2016

NAV CANADA is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to flight paths for aircraft arriving to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year. Where possible, portions of flight paths have been relocated over less populated areas.

Some of the new approach paths will lever new technology – known as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) – that combines satellite-based positioning with modern flight management systems, allowing an aircraft to fly a precise route. This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter and that provide for a continuous descent.

Initially, only a small portion of aircraft – less than 25 per cent – will be equipped to fly the new procedure. As part of the proposed redesign, some standard arrival routes are also being updated.

No changes are proposed for departure routes.

NAV CANADA has made information – including maps – on proposed flight path changes available online at www.navcanada.ca/YOW. Residents are invited to learn about changes and provide feedback using the comment tool available on the website by June 30, 2016. Residents can also attend one of the following Open House Consultation Events: June 2, 2016 – 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

GRAND OPENING

NAV CANADA proposes changes to Ottawa flight paths

City to pitch low-income bus pass to province Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city will petition the province to pay for a discounted bus pass for low-income residents.

A staff report said a pass discounted at 62 per cent would likely cost the city $3.3 million in lost revenue, and while the city’s transit commission struggled to find ways to afford it, it did agree to ask the province to foot the bill. Council approved the move on May 25.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans took the idea one step further.

Deans put forward a motion asking the province to include

transit in the calculation of basic needs for social assistance programs such as Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program.

Deans said even with a discounted pass, low income resi-

dents may still not be able to afford the cost of taking a bus.

“The transit commission heard many examples of the benefits of residents being able to access transit,” Deans said.

The city already offers discount

passes for students, people on disability and seniors.

The discounts cost the city $16.3 million annually. A staff report estimated that 8,800 people are considered low income who don’t fall into those categories so

they pay full price for their transit passes.

More than 40 social service agencies, including the Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count, have expressed support for a low-income pass.

OC Transpo is set to release a new fare table next month, as part of the city’s budget process.

Two June fundraisers for Osgoode Care Centre Fries for Charity, Shindig events to help offset lift replacement costs

Hill said everyone is welcome to visit the centre and enjoy some fries.

mer, this is your chance.

If you need a good excuse to indulge in some french fries this sum-

Dr. Lily Nahri & Associates

The second annual Fries for Charity event to benefit the Osgoode Care Centre is happening on Thursday, June 9, and all fries come with a healthy dose of good feelings.

Wendy Hill, director of community relations at the Osgoode Care Centre, said that Al Graham who used to own AJ’s Catering, brings his mini chip truck to the centre to sell fries purely to raise money for the centre.

SHINDIG

Later in June, the Osgoode Care Centre will be hosting another fundraiser: the second annual Shindig event featuring the Bay Country B’ys.

The Shindig takes place at Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm (2452 York’s Corners Rd, Edwards) on Thursday, June 23 from 6:30 to 10

p.m. Tickets are $25, and funds raised support the centre.

Hill said the event features an evening of live entertainment, provided by the Bay Country B’ys and also step dancers and fiddlers.

Also included in the price of the ticket is a full dinner: barbecue brisket on a bun, coleslaw, baked beans and strawberry shortcake.

The event also features a silent auction.

Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling Hill at 613-821-

1034 ext. 248 or at Osgoode Country Creations (5669 Osgoode Main St.).

FUNDING

Hill said the Osgoode Care Centre needs funds to replace five of their lifts by 2017.

“The lifts are used for most of our 100 residents,” she said.

Last year, the inaugural Shindig raised $7,000 for the centre. Hill said she’d be happy if they exceed that amount this time around.

Public support needed to help Ottawa’s dragon boat festival absorb changes Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Reg Charette, a volunteer with the Rideau Canoe Club, helps guide a boat toward the Rideau River at Mooney’s Bay Park on May 26, before it was paddled by volunteers to the nearby club. Dragon boats were brought in from Toronto for use by teams practising for the 23rd annual Ottawa Tim Hortons Dragon Boat Festival, June 23 to 26. boat into the water at the park on May 26. “Let’s really show the city what this is worth.”

While festival organizers won’t yet know the full scope of how the playground structure will impact the four-day celebration, there will be some effects this year, perhaps more in 2017 after the structure is built and the space gobbled up.

Team tents will have to be weighted down with sandbags rather than pegs due to a surface membrane going in at the north end of the park ahead of the playground’s construction this summer.

Given the controversy swirling around the play structure since it was announced May 13 over the lack of public consultation, cutting down of trees and outrage from protesters, some teams have been slower than usual in registering.

“It’s not a big portion, but there’s that last 10 per cent,” Brooman said, but noted city officials have agreed to a deal that the site will be clear of workers and activity starting June 16 to allow the festival to move in.

the largest dragon boat festival in North America, it has actually made an international name for itself and can now be considered the world’s largest festival of its kind, Brooman said.

dragon boat festival, and to check out the canal for a winter festival. It’s also hoped China will send 600 people to take part in the summer races in 2017.

As well, this year a Philippines team will be competing in the June races.

“They and others have been looking at our model for years and have been saying, ‘How are they doing this?’” Brooman said.

“Now there’s an opportunity to take our model elsewhere to the rest of the world,” he said, adding the festival is a crown jewel, not just for Ottawa, but for Canada.

“That’s the message.

Support us this year and through 2017 as we absorb all these changes,” he said.

“The more (people) can do this year in terms of supporting everything we do, the higher likelihood we have of surviving this.”

Ottawa’s dragon boat festival needs you now, more than ever before.

Plans to build a giant playground at the north end of Mooney’s Bay Park, where the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival has been held for more than 20 years, have organisers appealing for the public’s backing.

“We can’t change what’s happening at the park. We can ask the public to come out and support us, because that will support the long-term of the event,” said John Brooman, president and chief executive of the festival and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation, which generates $350,000 to $400,000 annually for charity.

The event, which will be held on the Rideau River and in Mooney’s Bay Park June 23 to 26, is the single biggest festival fundraiser in Ottawa. This year funds will go to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation Community Fund.

“The biggest thing people can do to support the festival, to keep it moving in the future through this jungle gym issue, is to support us, support our foundation,” Brooman said, after watching a truck hoist a dragon

All told, the races, concerts with all-Canadian acts, family activities, exhibitors, food and beverage vendors – which are all free to enjoy – are expected to attract about 65,000 people over the course of the four-day event. It will draw an estimated 5,000 paddlers on about 200 teams.

“There’s no other festival that’s doing what we’re doing in the world,” Brooman said.

It’s drawn international attention, as a result.

A group from China arranged for him to travel to Budapest, Hungary earlier this year to see ice dragon boating in action, which involves participants using paddles with picks to move a boat on skates on the ice.

“It is looking very promising that we’ll be hosting an ice dragon boating festival on the canal during Winterlude in 2017,” said Brooman.

OCDSB to replace three retiring superintendents with two new ones Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

The Ottawa Carleton District School Board announced on May 25 that two new superintendents will join its staff in September 2016, after three of its current superintendents retire on June 30.

France Thibault and Shawn Lehman will become the board’s superintendents of instruction in September, replacing superintendents Neil Yorke-Slader, Susan MacDonald and Peter Gamwell. The board said it would not fill the third position.

“I cannot say enough about the exceptional contributions that Neil, Susan and Peter have made to this school district,” Jennifer Adams, the board’s director of education, said in a news release.

‘These are exciting times at the OCDSB.’ SHIRLEY SEWARD BOARD CHAIR

“They have been exemplary educators and administrators and have served our students and staff with such incredible integrity, dedication and creativity.

We are fortunate to have such a talented team of staff and I am confident that France and Shawn will bring the same passion and innovation to their new positions.”

Thibault has prior experience as a teacher and school administrator, and has held several leadership roles within the public board.

She currently serves as principal of Glebe Collegiate Institute.

“I am very excited about this new leadership opportunity,” Thibault said in a media release. “I have always been an advocate for student learning, wellbeing and equity and feel privileged that I will be able to support the important work our district is doing in these areas as a member of the senior management team.”

Lehman has also worked as a principal, for both elementary and secondary schools. He currently works for the Limestone District School Board – which serves Kingston and the counties of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington – as its supervising principal of schools, student success and information technology service.

“The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has many exciting initiatives underway and is recognized for its commitment to creativity, instructional leadership and student well-being,” Lehman said in a media release.

“I look forward to making Ottawa my home.”

While the board is poised to undergo changes to its superintendent staff, its director of education, Jennifer Adams, has renewed her contract for a four-year term, having reached the end of her first term, which began in 2011.

“These are exciting times at the OCDSB,” said board chair Shirley Seward. “I welcome the new superintendents and know that (Jennifer) Adams will continue to provide exceptional leadership to the school district.”

Canadian Museum of Nature unveils brand new dino nosaurs generally characterized by horns on the face and elaborate head frills).

Judith’s formal name – Spiclypeus shipporum – is a combination of two Latin words meaning spiked shield and a nod to Shipp, who found the bones.

Judith’s nickname comes

Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

But for six-and-a-half months that is exactly what will be on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature.

Spiclypeus shipporum, or affectionately known as Judith, was unveiled on May 24 in the national fossil collection at the museum. The horned dinosaur was discovered a decade ago in Montana by Dr. Bill Shipp and was acquired by the museum in 2015.

Shipp, who found the bones by chance while walking on his property in 2005 with a palaeontologist, said it was an incredibly exciting time thinking that they had found something that has been around for 76 million years.

Shortly after finding the bones, Shipp hired professionals to excavate his findings.

Judith moved from the hard Montana ground to Shipp’s basement, where it remained for 10 years.

It was a fellow scientist that urged Shipp to sell the bones to a museum.

“We’d known Judith for 10 years, and she was as much a part of our family as inanimate, fossilized bones could be,” Shipp said. “And there was satisfaction in knowing we were one of the few who had their own dinosaur bones. But at the end of the day, I was a scientist and I needed to let her be a part of science. People said she was special and I began to feel guilty. I had something sitting in drawers that needed to be studied.”

Shipp said of all the museums in the world, picking Canada’s nature museum was the easiest choice to make.

from where it was found, in Winifred, Montana, near the Judith River Formation – based on the bones found, it’s not actually known if the dinosaur was male or female.

Mallon said there are about 40 horned species known to date.

Judith’s skull and bones will remain on display until Nov. 13.

Afterwards, the bones will be sent to the museum’s collections facility in Gatineau but Judith’s skull will remain on permanent display in the museum’s fossil gallery.

North Island Link Environmental Assessment and Functional Design Study Public Presentation at the Manotick Village and Community Association Annual General Meeting MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

Future palaeontologist Evan Beilby-Plain made sure he and his mom were one of the few people to get the first glimpse of Judith, a new species of horned dinosaur unveiled at the Canadian Museum of Nature on May 24.

“It’s the best in the world,” Shipp said. “It was an easy decision.”

The museum sent its palaeontologist, Dr. Jordan Mallon, to check out the bones to confirm that it was an entirely new dinosaur.

Shortly after checking out the bones in Shipp’s home, Judith was packed up and sent to her new home in Ottawa.

After a year of studying the bones, Mallon discovered Judith had an incredible story.

“She was living with a bone disease; she was incredibly resilient,” Mallon said.

Mallon said looking at the fissures in the bones show that the disease came early in Judith’s life, but for whatever reason, the horned dinosaur managed to live

well into adulthood. However, Mallon added, living with the disease would have left the dinosaur to fend for itself.

Now, Judith’s skull, parts of her legs, hips and backbone are on display for all to see.

Born and raised in Ottawa, visiting the museum as a child, Mallon said working with Judith and confirming that the dinosaur was indeed a new species was like having a childhood dream come true.

“It’s not every day you get to name a new dinosaur,” Mallon said.

Mallon completed the scientific analysis that pinned down the dinosaur as a new species – one of a growing number of newly discovered ceratopsids (four-legged di-

Dangerous wild parsnip growing rampant in Eastern Ontario Rob Mooy

They may look pretty growing alongside our roadways and trails, but think twice about picking a bouquet of these deceptive yellow weeds. They could burn you, scar you, or maybe even blind you.

Wild parsnip, an eyecatching, colourful, non-native weed, has exploded onto the scene in Eastern Ontario.

An invasive plant native to Europe and Asia, wild parsnip was likely brought to North America by European settlers, who grew it for its edible root. Since their introduction, these plants have escaped from cultivated gardens and spread across the continent.

Wild parsnip grows in large patches or as scattered plants around roadsides, public recreation areas, sports fields, pastures, fence rows and open areas. It can grow as tall as two metres.

It’s a problem of growing concern explains Tom Beaubiah, a biologist with the

Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority. “The seeds are dispersed typically by the wind. Usually you can see a patch developing. It starts out as a few plants then the radius expands from there.

It may also be picked up by wildlife.”

Much of the blame for the increase along country roads lies with rural mowing practices that have allowed for seeds to be carried and dispersed by equipment.

Typically where roadsides are maintained, seeds can be drawn along by mowing equipment.

The weed resembles Queen Anne’s lace (also known as wild carrot), a weed common to Canada and recognizable by its white flowers. But wild parsnips, which have a yellow flower, contain a chemical compound that can cause severe burns and blisters when activated by sunlight.

Wild parsnip causes phyto-photodermatitis, which happens when the sap of the plant, from broken stems and leaves, touches the skin and

is exposed to ultraviolet light (that’s present whether it’s cloudy or sunny).

Within 24 to 48 hours, the affected area will redden; in most cases this will be followed by blisters that can be painful for a couple of days.

In many cases, the blisters will lead to brownish pigmentation that can last for years.

It’s worse than poison ivy.

“People need to understand that the reaction to the sap is not an allergic reaction like that of poison ivy, it is a chemical reaction,” cautions Beaubiah.

Unlike poison ivy, toxin in the sap from wild parsnip is absorbed by the skin and energized by ultraviolet light.

Moisture from perspiration speeds absorption. Burning is inevitable if skin comes in contact with juice from cut or broken stalks, leaves or flowers. The juices are most potent while in flower. Mild exposure is similar to sunburn. Severe exposure causes skin to blister.

People who come in con-

tact with the toxic liquid are advised to quickly seek shelter to stop the sap from photosynthesizing, and to wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water. Skin can turn red one day after exposure. Inflammation may also occur after three days.

Those who have a reaction are advised to seek medical attention.

If the sap gets into the eyes, it may even cause temporary or permanent blindness.

It seems that the best advice for anyone who accidentally gets the sap on their skin is to wash it off immediately with soap and water and avoid exposure to sunlight. It may be necessary to cover up for a couple of days.

To relieve symptoms, cover the affected area with a cool, wet cloth. If blisters appear, try not to rupture them for as long as possible. To avoid infection, keep the area clean and apply antiseptic cream.

Once you have learned to recognize the plant, you’ll quickly notice just how abundant it is.

Wild parsnip has been around for years in small quantities; however, the wet weather of recent years has produced an abundance of the plants.

“It appears to be spreading. It’s everywhere,” adds Beaubiah, who is concerned about the ever-increasing problem of this dangerous weed.

The best way to control wild parsnip is by early detection and eradication. The simplest method of control may be to regularly cut the grass, plants and weeds in green areas alongside roads and in areas the public uses.

“If you only have a few of them in your yard, you can remove them by digging or hand pulling,” he says. “Be sure to wear shoes or boots, long pants, long sleeves, gloves and goggles when you are working near it. Dispose of the plants in the garbage.

To do otherwise will spread them further.”

Help keep it at bay by mowing it just when the flower buds are beginning to

show (somewhere between the end of June and beginning of July). It’s crucial to remember that cutting the plant down with a mower or trimmer later in the season is not a good idea because mowing leads to re-sprouts and weed whacking spreads the toxic sap.

Beaubiah’s advice to anyone who sees these plants is to stay clear. If you are likely to be in contact with wild parsnip, cover up.

“It is possible to come in contact with the plant and not be exposed to the sap.

It is coming in contact with the sap that is the cause for concern. Avoiding the plant all together is an important precaution.”

There are a many websites with additional information to assist in identifying wild parsnip. More local information can be found online at www.cityofkingston.ca/ residents/environment-sustainability/nature-forestsgardens/wild-parsnip or www.healthunit.org/hazards/ dangerousweeds.html

Airport Parkway widening report going before committee Environmental study prepared for June 1 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The environmental study report on the future widening of the Airport Parkway and Lester Road, including an updated price tag, will be in the hands of the city’s transportation committee as of June 1.

Committee members can choose to discuss the assessment, which was expected to take about two years to complete, and will have the option of directing staff to explore additional elements.

“The June 1 meeting is open to all and you have the right to address the committee in person for up to five minutes,” River Coun.

Riley Brockington said in an email to residents. “Although I do not sit on this particular committee, I will be in attendance, and (will) speak to the contents of the report.”

The proposal to twin the parkway from Brookfield Road to the Ottawa International Airport and also widen Lester Road, from the parkway to Bank Street, is being fuelled by rapid growth in Ottawa’s southern suburbs, including Riverside South and Greely.

Construction of the first phase of the threestage project was slated in for 2018, but it has been pushed back to 2023 or 2024 due to a lack of development charge revenue to finance the road twinning project.

The project has also been the subject of several open houses.

While many residents have touted the construction of two additional lanes along the parkway to alleviate congestion, others have voiced a number of concerns, chief among them the proposed con-

struction of a southbound off-ramp from the parkway to Walkley Road.

Walkley Road West residents have been soundly against the idea, saying it will pump more cars onto already busy residential streets in their community.

The widening project has also drawn comment from Mayor Jim Watson, who earlier this year said the construction of the parkway should not come before the build-out of the southbound Trillium LRT Line to the airport, if the money can be secured from the province and the federal government.

The environmental assessment report will eventually go before council for consideration. Provincial approvals will also have to be secured.

The report was expected to be publicly released by the city on May 25, according to Brockington.

For more details on the widening proposal, visit ottawa.ca/airportparkway.

The city’s transportation committee is scheduled to review an environmental assessment of the widening of the Airport Parkway and Lester Road on June 1.

Crossing your fingers made things right when telling a lie

M

other put her hand on my shoulder and looked me square in the eye. I was about to head out to school, and I knew exactly what she was going to say, so I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers. I had it on good authority that if you were about to tell a lie, crossing your fingers made things right.

“Now don’t you and Velma go walking in those ditches of water on the way home from school. It’s still too cold, and you’ll come with a death of the cold, and we’ll have to call Mrs. Beam and you know what that means: the onion treatment.”

With my fingers knitted behind my back, I assured her we would stay clear of the ditches, knowing full well that Velma and I, once we got rid of our brothers and sisters, would do what

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories we did just about every day coming home from the Northcote School.

The ditches still had water from the spring run-off, and heavy rains for several days made them look like little streams, and were too inviting to be ignored. As soon as the coast was clear, Velma and I headed behind a cluster of cedars, peeled off our shoes and stockings, crammed them into our book bags, and tucked our skirts into the elastic legs of our navy blue fleece lined bloomers.

Making sure no one was on the Northcote Side Road, we squealed with sheer joy as our bare feet

hit the water. The grass underfoot was like silk, and, of course, there was never any garbage thrown in the ditches back then, and we sloshed along at our heart’s content, heading from the side road from the school, almost to where our lanes began. Not once did I think of Mother’s words, as I left for school in the morning.

After all, I had my fingers crossed.

By the time we reached our long lane, we had run out of water in the ditches, and we reluctantly had to abandon what we considered the utmost joy, walking barefoot in the water-filled ditches of the Northcote

Side Road.

Our book bags hung from our shoulders, and we reluctantly left the ditches as we neared our lane, which was just before the Thom’s, gingerly stepping onto the dirt road and heading for the cluster of cedars behind the rail fence. We sat on the big rock and let the sun dry our legs, which were now the colour of beets freshly pulled from the garden, and still dripping wet from the water in the ditches.

Our legs had to be dried completely before we could put on our long stockings and shoes. And Velma and I laughed and delighted in the conspiracy of the whole escapade. Knowing perfectly well, as long as the ditches held the water, we would repeat our adventure.

We couldn’t spend too much time getting back into our stockings and shoes, or our mothers would be suspicious when we didn’t arrive

home when they expected us. After all, it was only three-and-a-half miles between the Northcote School and our farms, and so we had to be quick about it.

I tore down our long lane like someone possessed, and the last I saw of Velma, she was already at their mailbox. I wasn’t that far behind my sister and brothers, tearing into the house out of breath, and heading right upstairs as I always did to get out of my school clothes, passing Mother who was busy at the Findlay Oval getting supper ready for the table.

I kept my fingers crossed as usual, just in case she questioned me about walking in the water-filled ditches. My stockings were damp, so I draped them over the chair near my bed, tucked my not too dry shoes under the washstand, and headed downstairs in my play clothes.

“I bet you and Velma walked the ditches on your way home,” my hateful brother Emerson said at the supper table. I dropped my fork, put my hands behind my back with my fingers crossed, and denied it vehemently. Mother was too busy filling our plates to take notice, as I shot daggers at Emerson.

My beloved sister Audrey vowed she saw Velma and me walking on the Northcote Side Road all the way home from school, and we were nowhere near the ditches. She had her hands behind her back, and I knew, without a doubt, her fingers were crossed.
