Thompson wants to bend rules for OYA donation Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Retiring Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson wants to empty his office budget coffers to help the Osgoode Youth Association out of a financial pinch.

Thompson was set to ask city council to bend

its spending rules to allow him to donate $8,000 from his office budget to OYA, but he withdrew the motion during the last city council meeting before the summer break, on July 9.

He will bring the request back to council in August, he said.

Greenbank realignment study open for feedback emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Residents are invited to share their thoughts as the final planning stages for the Greenbank Road realignment project are nearly finished.

MMM Group has com-

pleted its environmental study for the area on behalf of the city of Ottawa, and the report will be available for comment until Aug. 5.

The study area is bordered

by Cedarview Drive to the west, Greenbank Road to the east, Cambrian Road to the north and Barnsdale Road to

the south.

The project has been on the table since 2006, when a plan was approved to realign Greenbank and extend the southwest transitway at Cambrian as part of the Barrhaven South community design plan.

Six years later, the proj-

Manotick News - Thursday, July 17, 2014

Councillor to request $8,000 Continued from page 1

It was just last year that city council agreed to put a limit on how much taxpayer money from their office budgets they can hand out to community causes.

The limit is now 3.5 per cent of the budget, amounting to $7,748 a year.

“This has been done by other councillors, if there is a specific cause that you want to give money to,” Thompson said.

“I just want to say, if you check back over the 13 and a half years I’ve been here, I’ve given back over $1 million from my budget to the city.

“So to ask to go over the limit for a cause in Osgoode Ward, the Osgoode Youth Association, which the city recreation people won’t support, I think is justifiable.”

The centre lost its annual $30,000 grant from the United Way two years ago and has run through its savings,

said OYA’s director, Nicole McKerracher.

Thompson said OYA has a shortfall of about $35,000 this year and he’ll be working with the city’s manager of recreation, Dan Chenier, to see if his budget can include funds for the youth centre.

Otherwise, Thompson might ask to dip into the city’s fund for unforseen expenses.

But McKerracher said Thompson is helping the association negotiate a $60,000 annual contribution from the city.

The city already contributes almost $11,000, mostly towards costs associated with the building, but McKerracher said it makes sense for the city to pony up a larger share of the centre’s costs.

It would be cheaper for the association to provide youth services on behalf of the city, rather than create city-run programs, she said.

“The city doesn’t provide

any services for youth in Osgoode,” she said. “It creates a real challenge for them, a real sense of isolation.”

Thompson said he’d like to see OYA find ways to be more financially sustainable.

“We have to have a plan in place so they don’t have to come back year after year,” Thompson said.

OYA runs two fundraisers every year and is also seeking corporate sponsors, McKerracher said.

The centre served 762 youth last year. OYA’s dropin programs can see anywhere from three to 30 youth come to the centre on any given evening and many of them are regulars, McKerracher said.

Thompson had originally intended to ask for the spending exemption to apply to all retiring councillors, but after discussing it with staff in the mayor’s office and city officials he is withdrawing that and will focus his efforts on OYA alone.

New signs to promote safer streets in Manotick Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

to another part of the community where speeding is a problem, like Long Island Drive.

Potter Road is the priority this fall. A speed board monitor posted for eastbound traffic over a 10-day period in October 2011 clocked one driver at 110 km/h â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than 70 over the limit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and 88 per cent of drivers went over 40 km/h during the study.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet clear if the city can kick in some extra cash for the program, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said there are options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they need more funding, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what we can do,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting the money could come from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic department through a cost-sharing agreement, or through the councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own office.

For Moffatt, speeding is one

gram will also supply a number of lawn signs which encourage drivers to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Slow Down For Usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x153;usâ&#x20AC;? being village children.

Beltzner said the community campaign will alternate the Safe Street signs with its own Keep it to 40 lawn signs.

The community association will foot the bill for theirlawn signs, as well as other materials like bumper magnets and pamphlets.

0703.R0012769811

News - Several new programs will aim to slow down drivers and keep pedestrians safe in the village this fall.

The Manotick Village Community Association has been working with the city to kick start its Keep it to 40 campaign, a community-led initiative to encourage drivers to drive 40

kilometres per hour on village streets.

Starting this fall, the city has agreed to install two â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Slow Downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; signs at entrances to the Potter Drive community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They loan out these signs to communities for two years, and they usually put them up in conjunction with a large 40 km/ h sign,â&#x20AC;? said association president Klaus Beltzner. After two years, the signs will be moved

of the top priorities in his ward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a speeding issue wherever you go,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to get people to drive slowly, and the reality is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re targeting the people who live there.â&#x20AC;?

Beltzner agreed that residents are the first line of defence.

The Keep it to 40 campaign has been canvassing neighbourhoods to spread the message, and people have been responsive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have yet to find one person who says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this is rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Beltzner said.

EDITORIAL

A failure of leadership

T

he news that staff had significantly mishandled the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract to manage organic waste with Orgaworld was met with disappointment by senior managers and members of council alike.

As it should be. This council has a track record of fair handling of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances. Significant sums have been spent, but little of it in anything approaching a wasteful manner, mainly on large infrastructure projects that need to be completed sooner or later.

On Orgaworld, however, those councillors and city staff who remain from last term when the deal was approved have left a trail of mismanagement and poor decision making. The findings of a report released last week by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auditor general indicate that the current deal with Orgaworld has wasted more than $7 million since the start of the contract thanks to unused capacity and excessive processing costs.

It will cost millions more over the life of the 20-year contract, and as much as $10 million to cancel the deal early, if the city chooses to do so.

According to the auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, city staff are

to blame for the bungled contract â&#x20AC;&#x201C; none of the expected research and analysis was done ahead of the matter going before council, the report says. But does this mean that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management, especially city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who has served in that position for more than 10 years, should be absolved of any responsibility in the matter? Should those who voted to approve the deal?

Of course not. While the likes of Kirkpatrick have accepted some level of responsibility for this debacle, residents should be angry. Under what circumstances should any decision be made without the appropriate information available to back that decision? River Coun. Maria McRae, now chairwoman of the environment committee, asked for that information yet never received it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when questions shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked. Kirkpatrick told council the possibility of this situation repeating itself â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been removedâ&#x20AC;? through protocol changes, but this failure shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been evident to anyone paying attention at the time.

Voters would do well to consider these revelations come election time in October.

Football is back in town, but will it stick?

T

he full effect of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be felt until next year, when the residents of new condo developments move in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know something about the new shops and their impact on the Glebe when they open in the fall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always possible everything will be as great as promoters of the project have said.

Meanwhile, there is football, and this will be one of the most intriguing effects of all. The first home game for the new Ottawa RedBlacks is July 18. Can football make a comeback?

Early indications are good: the first game is sold out. Further, the team has looked, in its early games, as if it belongs in the league. This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be some inexperienced push-

over. A win in that first home game will spur ticket sales for the next.

Ottawa, it goes without saying, has a proud history in the Canadian Football League. There are great memories, as well as Grey Cups, associated with the Rough Riders. The team was an important part of the life of the city and it would be great if it could become that again.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the optimistic view and it conveniently overlooks how badly football was supported here in the

last days of the Rough Riders and the brief, unfortunate, life of the Ottawa Renegades.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say whether weak fan support or bad management killed the Rough Riders, which folded in 1996. Whatever the causes, fan support was too weak to save the team. Similarly, fan support was not enough to keep the Renegades alive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a team that began in 2002, lasted four years and never made the playoffs.

When football left Ottawa, both times, some wondered if Ottawa had simply ceased being a CFL kind of town. Maybe not. Maybe it was simply a case of badly run franchises turning off the fans. Maybe a wellrun team in a new stadium would bring folks back.

That is certainly possible. But it is also true that this is a different kind of town than it was in the heyday of the Rough Riders. The RedBlacks face competition for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention and ticket dollars from the Ottawa Senators and, to a lesser extent, from the Ottawa Fury FC. And then there are all the other distractions, many of them electronic, that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist back when the Rough Riders dominated the sports pages.

The CFL, meanwhile, has changed too. Players are paid better than they were in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s.

In the Russ Jackson era, players took jobs in the off-season and were visible in the community. There is greater distance between player and fan. Ottawa fans can be fickle, too.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to think of the Ottawa Lynx. The Triple-A baseball team was big in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, until it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Which is not to say it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for the RedBlacks. The hope is that EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

News - If everyone were paid $10 for every step we took, we’d all be rich. That’s exactly what Aileen Lamont hopes to achieve for the All Saints’ Anglican Church in Greely as she walks 800 kilometres across France and Spain this summer.

The 60-year-old is following the ancient ‘Way of St. James’ pilgrimage route to a cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain, where it’s believed the remains of St. James the Great – one of Christ’s 12 apostles – is buried.

Apart from completing a personal spiritual journey, Lamont hopes to raise $8,000 for the church to help finance much-needed repairs.

According to member Shirley Buchanan, the 125-yearold church on Parkway Road had a leaky roof that had to be repaired this spring as well as ongoing maintenance related to the upkeep of the aging building.

On top of rising costs, the congregation has been steadily shrinking over the last decade, which means fewer donations.

“Because so many people have left the church we are not getting enough money to pay our bills,” Buchanan said.

Many churches in the area face the same problem, she added.

“We’re trying to keep this church open because we love

Greely resident Aileen Lamont is currently walking across Spain as part of a spiritual and charitable pilgrimage to raise $8,000 for the All Saints’ Greely Church. this church and we’ve got lots of good memories there.”

Lamont’s walk began at the end of June with a trip from Saint-Jean-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees mountain range to Roncesvalles on the Spanish side.

From there, she began a 780-km pilgrimage to the city of Santiago de Compostela – a walk she planned would take about four weeks. By July 7 she had walked 300 km of the 800.

The route has been one of the most important Christian pilgrimages since the

ninth century, particularly during medieval times, along with routes to Rome and Jerusalem.

In 1993 it was named a UNESCO world heritage site.

Santiago de Compostela’s old town area, which includes the cathedral, was also named a world heritage site in 1985.

Donations can be sent by cheque to All Saints’ Greely church, 7103 Parkway Rd. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $10 or more.

Thompson’s ‘fond farewell’ to support care centre Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - He helped nurture the care centre to life, and now it’s sending him off into the sunset.

Staff at the Township of Osgoode Care Centre will host a Fond Farewell retirement dinner for Osgoode Coun. Doug

Doug and his 31 years in politics,” said community outreach manager Wendy Hill, who said current and past politicians who have worked with Thompson over the years will be present, as well as a number of family and friends.

The fundraising dinner has a dual purpose.

Thompson as he hangs up his many silly hats once and for all this fall.

On Sept. 6, friends, family and residents are invited to join Thompson for an evening of dinner, and nostalgia as Thompson prepares to leave public office in October.

A retirement dinner will honour Coun. Doug Thompson on Sept. 6. personally rewarding.”

Tickets for the Sept. 6 dinner at the Greely Community Centre are $75 each, and include a cocktail reception and sit-down dinner catered by the Black Dog Bistro in Manotick. Local rock band Diamond Heart will entertain after dinner.

Hill said guests can also expect a visit from a surprise guest she could only describe as thrilling.

For $1,500, local business can secure a full table of tickets and have their names engraved on a gold-level leaf for the care home’s giving tree, worth $1,000. The businesses would also receive a plaque. Hill said only 10 businesses will be able to take advantage of the offer, so that individuals have a chance to buy tickets as well.

Thompson announced his retirement from politics earlier this year in the lead-up to the R0012774319

If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order). The Part II Order request must be received by the Minister of the Environment during the 30 day review period and a copy of the request should be forwarded to the City of Ottawa. If there are no requests received by August 11, 2014, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Municipal Class EA and the project may proceed to design and construction as presented in the ESR.

“We’re hoping people will be reminded of all Doug has done for our township and ward, as well as recognize the dire need for upgrades at our home,” Hill said. “We’re trying to make it an opportunity for both.”

The 28-year-old care centre is in the middle of a campaign to raise $500,000 for life cycle upgrades and major repairs to the retirement facility on Snake Island Road that 100 residents call home.

Thompson has long been involved in the facility. He was a regional councillor when the building was first constructed – mainly through communitysourced dollars – and he has been a director on the board for 14 years.

Although he wasn’t a politician when the care centre concept was born, he was on the council that helped the volunteer committee acquire land.

“I was part of the council that fully supported them,” Thompson said. “It was a big success story for our entire community.

For a small township of around 12,000 people to have a 60-bed extended care facility in their community in the early 1980s was unheard of. It’s a real testament to the volunteers and the business people who contributed so much.”

Thompson said he was shocked when Hill approached him with her idea to host a fundraising dinner in his honour.

“It’s very heartwarming,” Thompson said. “I was taken aback. I said to Wendy, I’m really very honoured but I’m a bit surprised because I should be thanking the people who supported me over the years, not the other way around. It’s very

municipal election this October.

He has been involved in local politics since 1983, first as a councillor in Osgoode Township for 14 years and then as mayor for another three. Throughout that time, he was also teaching elementary school in the Carleton and Ottawa-Carleton District school boards.

After Osgoode Township amalgamated with the City of Ottawa, Thompson was elected as councillor for Osgoode Ward in 2000, which took effect Jan. 1, 2001. He retired from teaching that year, and has been a full-time councillor ever since.

Thompson said it’s a little ironic that his final send-off comes from the people who spearheaded his first accomplishment as a politician.

“What a fitting way to end my career,” he said.

Grape arbour represented a place of solace in the 1930s

T

oday it would serve no meaningful purpose to a farm that is now used for nothing more than to run cattle and with the house long gone.

But back in the ‘30s, the grape arbour served many purposes. I am not sure now if Father worked the vines to form the arbour, or if they grew that way naturally, although I strongly suspect Mother had asked Father to coax the long vines into shape.

At any rate, natural or otherwise, the grape arbour was a high arch of green leaves, completely closed in on the north, east and west sides, with only the south portion facing the old log house open for easy access.

I thought the hollow was enormous, as big as our kitchen it was, and Father and Mother could easily stand up inside it, so it would have had to be at least six feet from ground to the top vines.

As soon as the leaves formed, the hollow was immediately turned into an outdoor room.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories At the start of the summer the grass inside was thick and green, but after a couple weeks of constant use, the grass shrivelled up and died and left a soft mat of straw in its place.

Mother would move a wash stand into the very back of the cavity, and Audrey and she would take enough dishes out of the kitchen cupboard to stock the wash stand for the season.

A bake table from the summer kitchen was moved out, two benches from the drive shed, and the big wood swing with the double seats helped fill the cavity, and the grape arbour was ready for business.

We still ate our breakfasts in the house, but unless it was pouring rain, our noon meal

was eaten outside. Father tried to tell Mother using the grape arbour as a dining room added to her work load 10 fold, but Mother always said it was worth the effort.

We carried the food out on trays covered with sparkling white tea towels which remained on the steaming bowls and platters all the time we were eating. Heaven forbid that a fly would come within a country mile of something that was going into our mouths.

It didn’t matter how hot the day, the grape arbour was always cool inside.

The big flat leaves kept the hot rays from penetrating, and if there was a breeze, they still allowed the air to circulate, so it was a most pleasant place to spend an hour at noon time.

Father, instead of going into the kitchen to the creton couch, as he did every day after his noon hour dinner, would tilt back an old weather-beaten chair against the table and have his mid-day nap, which he seemed to be able to slip into with the greatest of ease inside or outside the house.

When the meal was over, Audrey would bring out the big white granite dish pan filled with hot soapy water, and even the clean-up from the meal was done outside.

Sport, our old collie stood at the ready, waiting for whatever morsel was left on a plate to plop right on the ground - no need for a dog dish outside.

On Saturday morning, as a rule, the grape arbour was off limits to everyone but Audrey.

Her best friend Iva Thom would come to visit, after

each had done her chores, and with their embroidery work, or knitting they would head for the old wood two seater swing. I was never allowed to go near them. Mother said they had earned a time of privacy. How I longed to listen in on their grown-up talk about boys and spooning, and kissing and goodness knows what else, subjects which I knew for a fact peppered their talks in the grape arbour.

But they kept their voices low and the big green haven sheltered them from young prying ears and the world outside.

When I did have the privilege of having the grape arbour to myself, I would take my dolls out there, and the space would become my house.

I would rearrange the benches to form rooms, and the table would be the bed,

and I would slip into a world of fantasy to which I alone would have admission.

There were many quiet times spent in the grape arbour with Mother. These were private and special times.

She with her sewing basket on the ground beside her chair and me sitting beside her listening to tales of her life in New York before she moved to the farm in Renfrew County, and I would think there was no better place to be in the whole wide world, than in that most secluded of spots, the grape arbour.

Unicycle stolen at Bluesfest brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A night out at Bluesfest had a disappointing end for a local unicyclist who had his unicycle stolen while it was locked up on July 6.

To make matters worse, Max Peabody, a Centretown resident, planned to use it at the Unicycling World Championships which start July 30 in Montreal.

“It’s just a bummer,” said Peabody. “I was hoping to get a lot of training done this month, and that will be harder to do. A lot of parts are hard to find and you have to get comfortable riding one specific unicycle.”

Peabody said there are not many unicyclists in Ottawa, so the person who stole his bike probably was just on a hunt for bikes of value. He said he wouldn’t normally take his unicycle to Bluesfest, but his regular bike was broken.

He estimated it would be $800 to replace all the parts to rebuild his unicycle. He doesn’t expect his unicycle to be returned.

“I have a lot of friends who have offered me parts,” he said.

“The unicycling community is really nice like that.”

He still hopes to compete in two events at the world championships, where he is en-

tered in the flat land and street events. The events are mostly acrobatic, and feature riders in trick battles against other riders. He said the street event resembles skateboarding.

Peabody asked anyone with information on his unicycle should call the Ottawa police.

The bike is black, well worn, and has white pedals and a white seat post.

Greely videographer gets head start this summer Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - If you’re a business owner in Greely or Metcalfe, he’s probably already knocked on your door.

He may have already shaken your hand, handed you a professional-looking pamphlet and thanked you for your time. He may have already impressed you.

Greely resident Gabriel Dubé, proud owner of the newly-minted Bluemount Films, is one of 67 young entrepreneurs in Ottawa awarded a $3,000 grant to support his

summer company this spring.

The grant comes from the provincial government, but is distributed to local recipients through Invest Ottawa, which has a mandate to promote a healthy business culture across the city.

Province wide, 940 returning students aged 15 to 29 received the grant to kickstart their summer businesses, which can range from dog walking and house cleaning to things like video production – a business Dubé hopes will someday become his bread and butter.

“It can be really hard to sur-

vive,” he said. “It’s a passion thing.”

It’s a little easier now, thanks to $1,500 in grant money Dubé has already spent updating his camera equipment, printing pamphlets and building a professional website.

He’ll get another $1,500 at the end of the summer, when he completes the program.

Dubé is now 18, and just graduated from Pierre Savard Catholic High School in Barrhaven. He plans to study mobile application design and development at Algonquin College this fall.

In the meantime, Dubé will spend his summer doing what he loves: making videos.

This passion is fairly new; Dubé spent his high school years editing videos for his video game YouTube channel DigitalXMedia, where he has a following of more than 1,700 fans.

He didn’t start producing his own videos until about two years ago, at the grand opening of the Shoppers Drug Mart in Manotick, where he

worked.

Now he has a Canon D60, which he uses to create affordable promotional videos for local businesses to use in store and on social media.

“I’m focused on small to medium businesses that can’t compete, that don’t have millions to make commercials,” he said. “When people look for a businesses, they go to Facebook. If you have a video it makes it so much better.”

FUTURE INVESTMENT EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Building a healthy entrepreneurial environment can learn a lot from our hockey culture, said Invest Ottawa’s youth business advisor Majeed Mogharreban.

“We’re always top one, two or three in the world (because) we have an infrastructure of coaches and players and rinks to play on. And as soon as kids can walk they’re shown how to skate. By the time they’re in their prime they’ve been doing it for 10-plus years,” said Mogharreban.

ware company.”

And that’s the whole idea behind the program. Successful applicants are running simple, money-making businesses that are fairly easy to get off the ground.

Throughout the summer, the business owners learn about customer service, accounting, and problem-solving.

“We have tons of examples of youth starting with a very simple business, learning the fundamentals, and then applying them to a larger company,” Mogharreban said.

The program flies in the face of the traditional idea of business ownership, which previous generations may have considered risky. Today, relying on a faceless employer as your only source of income could actually be riskier, Mogharreban said.

For Dubé, the coolest part of the program is his access to bi-weekly meetings that put all 67 entrepreneurs in the same room with Ottawa’s top business leaders, bankers, lawyers and creative minds.

He’s usually paired off with like-minded youth, who are pursuing photography or other digital media. That allows them to bounce ideas off each other, network and learn.

“We’re all different, so we’re not competitors,” Dubé said.

Mogharreban is also excited.

“You instantly have access to this team of professionals who have volunteered their time,” he said. “(The youth) are going to be running Ottawa in 10 years and they’re going to know the cream of the crop.”

Fairytale villains have their say on Manotick stage Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - Sympathy for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous villains is rampant: Ozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elphaba told her side of the story in the Broadway production Wicked, and this spring Sleeping Beautyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foe Maleficent had her moment on the silver screen.

This July, a group of talented Manotick youth will continue the theme when the first session of Manotick Arts Camp gives our favourite fairytale villains new life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written through the lens of the necessity of evil, and how the victors always write history,â&#x20AC;? said stage director Adam Breadner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the loserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heavy topic, but this is no sombre affair: the screenplay is full of laughs, and the campers have had ample opportunity to add their own gags and character development into the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really good at adding their own comedy,â&#x20AC;? Breadner said.

Nectarine blueberry slice a tasty way to start the day Lifestyle - Here’s a tasty way to start the day. Hastings, on the North Island, known as the “fruit bowl of New Zealand,” grows a bounty of summer tree fruits similar to Ontario.

Preparation time: 20 minutes. Baking time: 35 to 40 minutes. Serves 12.

• 675 ml (2-3/4 cups) all-purpose flour • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) baking powder • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 2 to 3 nectarines, sliced • 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries • Icing sugar PREPARATION

INGREDIENTS

• 250 ml (1 cup) butter, softened • 425 ml (1-3/4 cups) granulated sugar • 4 eggs • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) vanilla

Line a 39 by 26 centimetre (15-1/2 x 10-1/2 inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl using electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar for

about one minute.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla until smooth. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt, and beat into a creamed mixture at medium speed until blended.

Spread the batter into the prepared baking sheet. Top it with nectarine slices, pressing them slightly into the batter. Scatter the blueberries over top.

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until it’s lightly browned and a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Dust the top with icing sugar.

Tip: Sprinkle top with 125 ml (1/2 cup) of sliced almonds before baking.

Cameras welcome at paranormal investigation Mysterious activity reported this month Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - No photos exist of Ann Currier alive, but Watson’s Mill guests now have a chance to capture her image from the other side.

Organizers of the mill’s annual paranormal investigation on Saturday, July 19 are this year encouraging guests

to bring their cameras to see if they can spot any ethereal activities in action.

Currier was only 20 when she was killed violently during a milling demonstration to mark the site’s one-year anniversary in 1861.

It is believed her ghost still lives inside the mill, a rumour reinforced by regular reports of ghostly sightings, sounds and feelings from guests who visit the Manotick museum.

Just last week, two Watson’s Mill employees reported hearing unexplained footsteps on the stairs.

“I had a bit of an odd ex-

perience on the third floor of the mill,” said heritage interpreter Dan Little, who was with his colleague at the time.

“We were by the top of the stairs, and out of nowhere we started to hear the clip-clop of heeled footsteps coming up the stairs, but there was no one there.”

Little said they called out to see if anyone was in the mill, but there was no answer.

“It was getting louder and louder until it sounded like they stepped onto the top floor. And then it stopped and it didn’t come back,” he

said.

Little said he was a bit “freaked out” – and the experience has made him rethink his doubts.

“I wouldn’t consider myself a believer (in ghosts) but now the seed of doubt has been planted,” he said.

“There have been a number of sightings and different encounters and I thought before they were maybe stories, but now I think this may validate some of the things we’ve heard.”

The mysterious footsteps could have come from Ann, but other ghosts are reported to live in the mill as well;

one young boy who drowned inside the mill is said to live in the basement.

The investigation will be lead by the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society, which each year brings its specialized paranormal equipment to the mill to find concrete evidence of the heavenly realm.

“They are very serious about what they do,” said education officer Cam Trueman. “I am absolutely positive they will find something that will be interesting.”

Established in 2001, the society is a volunteer organization which seeks to un-

derstand and capture solid evidence of paranormal activity.

This year the group will bring its new plasma ball equipment, which is used to “pick up on certain energies,” according to Trueman.

Tickets are $25 and include a light dinner.

The event is not recommended for children under 10.

The mill is located at 5525 Dickinson St. in Manotick.

Free parking is available on site.

For tickets call 613-6926455.

The current Lansdowne construction project employs the latest technology to accomplish new heights in creative design, engineering and energy conservation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the ďŹ rst time that the site has drawn attention.

Innovative construction techniques used in the construction of the Civic Centre actually were a tourist attraction.

In the summer of 1966, the large beams required for the $8.5M Civic Centre began arriving at Lansdowne Park. The immense beams, fabricated by the Dominion Bridge Company in Montreal, were too large to transport by truck so they were ďŹ&#x201A;oated up the Ottawa River and down the Rideau Canal by barge.

As there was only one beam per barge, the ďŹ&#x201A;otilla attracted the attention of onlookers as the beams arrived and were put into place.

TD Place is a year-round entertainment venue, hosting large outdoor concerts and performances in the stadium, and mediumsized shows and events in the arena.

With a colourful history dating back to the 19th century, TD Place at Lansdowne has witnessed CFL and Grey Cup drama, FIFA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup games, FIFA U-20 World Cup games, as well as notable performances by the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Supertramp and the Tragically Hip. The stadium at TD Place has been transformed into a 24,000-seat venue, highlighted by a striking and innovative new south stand veil made of Alaskan yellow cedar, a completely refurbished north stand, all-new playing surface and high tech scoreboards with in-stadium signage and services.

The CFL Ottawa REDBLACKS and NASL Ottawa Fury FC will both play their inaugural 2014 seasons at the stadium at TD Place.

The grounds surrounding TD Place stadium and arena have taken on a new life as an 18-acre urban park. With old favourites, like the Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building, and exciting new attractions such as the Water Plaza, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden and Skating Court, Lansdowne is a four-season playground for everyone.

Since the beginning the redevelopment of Lansdowne has been in keeping with its historic role as a gathering place for the community while modernizing its facilities and uses for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents.

A key goal of the Lansdowne Partnership Plan is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) CertiďŹ cation. This is a voluntary, consensus-based standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings, assessed over six categories covering sustainability, water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation.

A critical element of certiďŹ cation is accessibility. From the start, the Lansdowne construction and design team followed the principles of Universal Design to provide the highest level of accessibility possible and creating areas and spaces that can be used by everyone, including those with and without disabilities.

One example is that there are few changes in grade levels. Having sidewalks and roadways at the same level makes it easier for everyone to move around. It also

makes it safer to cross streets for people with walkers, wheelchairs and scooters.

The sidewalks and roads at the site have bumps and grit in certain areas to let people with disabilities know that they are approaching another roadway or sidewalk.

All benches, water fountains, and other structures have been placed away from each other to allow plenty of room for people to pass by.

Taxis and Para Transpo are able to drop people off close to the stadium and seating at the site has been designed to allow for everyone to sit together with plenty of space.

Accessible washrooms have also been added to the football stadium.

ing Championships, and performances by leading acts from around the world. It has been transformed with all-new premium seating, state-of-the-art scoreboard and digital signage. The Ontario Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa 67â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return home to TD Place in September.

The plan to revitalize Lansdowne started in 2009, in a series of initiatives approved by Ottawa Council. Council voted to proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne June 28, 2010 through a partnership of the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Lansdowne includes the refurbished stadium and former Civic Centre, a large urban park as well as a mixed-use area featuring 360,000 square feet of retail shops and services, ofďŹ ces and residences.

The retail is slated to open in the fall and the residences should be ready for occupancy in spring 2015.

In creating the Lansdowne project, the City of Ottawa established principals that included pursuing a higher standard of design and sustainability for new elements in the redevelopment. The ďŹ nal design, landscape and architectural plans were reviewed by a panel of experts and City representatives to ensure integration of all areas of the site Workers spread some of the more than 100,000 cubic metres of cement that retail, park, public space, stadium and resihas been poured across the site to build the infrastructure of Lansdowne.

Leave the car bike or walk the paths of Lansdowne

Building Lansdowne Dedicated team creates the new Lansdowne David Johnston

Ottawa Councillor David Chernushenko lead a cycling rally July 6 from the Glebe Community Centre to promote the opening of Lansdowne as a destination for Ottawa cyclists, both for major events and for everyday use.

DAVID JOHNSTON

Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly.

Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never been easier and a new series of pathways make navigating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansdowne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot.

Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lansdowne and will take you to the various buildings, outdoor event spaces and parkland.

Bike racks are conveniently located throughout Lansdowne with enough onsite parking for more than 600 bicycles.

The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces.

Pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all share the roadway. Pedestrians will always have the right of way, followed by cyclists. Car access will be limited. These wide pathways make it easier for everyone to move around freely and experience Lansdowne. The site is fully accessible for people with disabilities.

Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway extension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horticulture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events.

Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot.

On normal days, cyclists and pedestrians can move freely through the site on paths together. When the site is busy, cyclists should dismount and walk their bikes for everyone’s safety.

The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa.

Long and harsh, the icy chill bit deep into 5,300 workers on site to create the new Lansdowne. But that didn’t stop construction. Crews remained hard at work on the stadium, underground parking garage and urban park to keep on schedule for the re-opening of the redeveloped 80-acre site.

Innovative construction techniques such as ground-heating machines and insulating tarps were used to advance work through frigid winter months.

“I can’t say it went without problems, but the project team is so dedicated that we are able to overcome every obstacle. That’s what gets you through the dark days,” said Maro Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne.

On site working out of a trailer since the fall of 2012, Manconi has watched the new Lansdowne emerge. From the drama of moving the landmark Horticulture Building from its original location 150 metres to the east, to coordinating the pouring of infrastructure concrete from an onsite mixing plant, the project has moved forward at a steady pace.

There are over 50 contractors currently involved in the construction at Lansdowne. Some of these include: Pomerleau Inc. - General Contractor and Overall Site Management; MHPM - Project Managers for OSEG; D&G Landscaping - Urban Park contractor; Minto Residential and Commercial - for the Office Tower; Trinity - Overall Retail Development; Doran; Laurin and Massicotte.

“We have a motivated team, and that’s keeps this project going.”

Moving an historic structure is no easy feat. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of the building.

By the time it was ready to move, the building weighed 1,700 tonnes, including the 480 tonnes of steel beams installed inside for strength and support. It was raised 90 cm with hydraulic jacks onto 48 dollies – each carrying more than 32 tonnes.

R0012798471-0717

City of Ottawa Project Manager Marco Manconi surveys progress on the 18-acre urban park adjacent to the new TD Place stadium and arena.

The move took about a week as workers stopped it every five to 10 feet to recalibrate the wheels and ensure that the Horticulture Building arrived precisely at its new home. The building’s heritage designation was removed to allow for the move, but it will be redesignated.

“The new location ensures the Horticulture Building will not be overshadowed by taller new commercial buildings on the site. Instead, it will be an architectural anchor for the new urban park, standing in a prominent position near the Rideau Canal. It will reclaim its role as a community gathering place, much as it was when it opened 100 years ago.”

The Aberdeen Pavilion, among Ottawa’s most recognizable buildings, is Canada’s last large-scale exhibition building surviving from the 19th century.

“The Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building now create a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.”

Though Lansdowne is geared toward pedestrian traffic, there is an underground parking garage with about 1,300 parking spaces over approximately 11 acres, stretching from Queen Elizabeth Drive to Bank Street. There are two main vehicle entrances and exits to the garage – one from Queen Elizabeth Drive and a second off of Bank Street, near the stadium. Parking will service the retail component of Lansdowne as well as providing restricted on-site event parking. An entrance for residents only will

DAVID JOHNSTON

be located along Holmwood Ave. Native heritage is also built into Lansdowne and Aberdeen Square. The interlocking stone that stretches across the square has been patterned to resemble Algonquin basketry and food vessels.

This interpretive element is inspired by the care and respect paid to food by Algonquins and is set within the heart of the Ottawa Farmer’s Market.

The Teaching Circle, south of the rink at the east edge of the property, is another location for visitors to connect with Algonquin culture. Lansdowne’s history is rich with examples of teaching and exhibition and the Teaching Circle will allow for interaction between the Park’s history and that of the Algonquins.

Seven Trees of Significance surround the Teaching Circle. Identified by botanical markers and highlighted by interpretive panels, identifying and describing their significance to Algonquin culture, the seven trees are: Eastern White Cedar, Paper Birch, Trembling Aspen, Sugar Maple, Basswood, White Spruce, and Tamarack.

The Civic Demonstration Gardens, to be planted in spring 2015, will feature an ethno-botanical garden to feature plant species significant to the Algonquins of Ontario that are of ceremonial, medicinal or practical use.

All of these features are intended to not only beautify the square, but also to help educate visitors about Algonquin history, culture and art.

Workers rolled out the first piece of turf at centre field of TD Place Stadium.

Building Lansdowne Horticulture Building regains former glory Transport Demand Management As Lansdowne welcomes visitors this summer, the Horticulture Building will be in the middle of a major restoration. By the end of the year, it will retake its rightful place as a prominent community space.

Work is underway to restore this landmark and to make it an architectural anchor for Lansdowne. It will retake its role as a place for community to gather, through farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, festivals, sports and other cultural events.

The Horticulture Building was built in 1914 to the designs of Francis C. Sullivan and Allan Keefer. Its place in Canadian architectural history is important given that Sullivan was the only Canadian student of Frank Lloyd Wright. He brought Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prairie Style to Canada in this buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands.

The building has undergone considerable change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it has remained a public

space. Many Ottawa residents have fond memories of the building as a central site for curling and other public events.

While it received heritage designation in 1989, the building was neglected over the past 20 years. It had been reduced to a storage facility, deteriorating to the point that the public was no longer permitted inside. The heritage designation was brieďŹ&#x201A;y rescinded between 1991 and 1994 to allow for the removal of the workshop, which was not part of the original design.

As part of the Lansdowne redevelopment, the landmark Horticulture Building was moved from its original location 150 metres to the east. Together with the Aberdeen Pavilion, the building now creates a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.

The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of this historically signiďŹ cant building but in November 2012 the move was successfully completed.

One of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic treasures, The Aberdeen Pavilion, is the last large-scale exhibition building in Canada surviving from the 19th century.

When it opened its doors in 1898 at the dawn of the 20th century, its large, column-free interior made it the ideal space to house the Central Canada Exhibition and to promote advancements in agriculture and livestock. Named for staunch agricultural supporter Governor General, the Earl of Aberdeen, it was so associated with agriculture that it became known as the Cattle Castle almost immediately.

It became a showcase for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Building. It was also one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest community skating rinks and the site of the Ottawa Silver Seven 1904 Stanley Cup victory.

During the Boer War and both World Wars, it was a staging ground for troops prior to deployment overseas.

By the time it received Ontario heritage designation in 1982 and as a National Historic Site in Canada in 1983, it had fallen into disuse.

In 1992, Ottawa undertook a major refurbishment, restoring the Aberdeen Pavilion to its original splendour, with funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario.

Successfully combining the practical with the fanciful, the refurbished building now captures the holiday atmosphere of a 19th-century fair. It remains a visual centrepiece for the redeveloped Lansdowne and an important link to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past.

The Aberdeen Pavillion stills stands out as an Ottawa landmark in the newly re-designed Lansdowne. With its impressive sweeping roof, dome, corner towers and classical details, the building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; designed by Ottawa architect Moses C. Edey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a centrepiece at Lansdowne. The century old building will serve a wide variety of community uses.

DAVID JOHNSTON

There is a long a colourful history rooting Lansdowne in the agricultural community. The Ottawa Valley Farm Show got its start when the newly formed Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association sponsored its ďŹ rst seed fair at Renfrew Collegiate in 1927.

Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities, the seed fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success soon outgrew smaller venues. In 1959, the show

AGRICULTURE

moved to Lansdowne Park and for the ďŹ rst time, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running agricultural trade show had a permanent location.

With more space at the Lansdowne Park location, large farm equipment manufacturers soon saw the opportunity to set up displays of new farm machinery. This became a major attraction for visitors to the show in conjunction with the OVSGA. The show expanded to six exhibit areas including the entire Civic Centre ďŹ&#x201A;oor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; widely known as the Cattle Castle.

The Ottawa Valley Farm Show remained at Lansdowne Park until 2011 when it relocated to the Ernst & Young Centre in the south end of the city due to the redevelopment of Lansdowne.

The OVFS remains a spring tradition for the agricultural and rural communities. With over 300 exhibitors, the show includes displays by livestock breed associations, 4-H exhibits, arts and crafts, farm toys and books, tools, equipment, and the fundraising Pedigreed Seed Sale for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Building Lansdowne Lansdowne stands proud of its war support record Lansdowne Park has been a gathering place for well over 100 years but three times in the last century it served as a gathering place for troops going to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign military missions.

The opening of the Aberdeen Pavilion for the 10th Annual Central Canada Exhibition of 1898 showcased the development of this unique site into a signiďŹ cant national and international venue and set the stage for a gathering of military forces.

From 1899 to 1901 Lansdowne was used as a staging site for troops of the Lord Strathconaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horse. Soldiers were encamped on the site before shipping out to what is today South Africa to join the British Army against the Dutch South Africans, known as Boers.

With the outbreak of the Boer War in October 1899, the government of Canada responded by recruiting, equipping and transporting two contingents of volunteers to serve with the British forces in South Africa. Over the next three years, more than 7,000 Canadians, including 12 women nurses, served overseas.

The war is a key event in the military history of Canada the ďŹ rst time that Canada dispatched troops to an overseas war and it started at the exhibition grounds at Lansdowne.

Only 15 years later, at midnight on August 4, 1914, Britain was at war and that meant Canada was at war. Prime Minister Robert Borden offered Canadian assistance to Great Britain and called for a supreme national effort.

With an outpouring of patriotic support, Canada mobilized quickly. Less than two weeks later on August 23, 1914, the new Princess Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the ďŹ rst time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the ďŹ rst Canadian infantry unit to head overseas and arrived in France on December 21, 1914.

Following the declaration of war, about 3,000 applicants were recruited and by August 19 a full complement of 1,098 had been selected. Captain Andrew Hamilton Gault, A An drew dr ew H amilton Ga ault, a prominent Montreal

Connected to your community

businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds with a contribution of $100,000, (equivalent to more than $2 million in 2014), making the PPCLI the last privately raised regiment in Canada.

Military connections to Lansdowne were wellestablished by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to ďŹ ght overseas. It became home to The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and the 4th Hussars of Canada, who later became the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards).

When Canada declared war on September 10, 1939, The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada had already begun to mobilize and was at full strength of 807 within one week. The 1st Battalion embarked for overseas on December 16, 1940 and arrived in the UK on Christmas Eve. The 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards deployed in 1941. Both regiments served in multiple campaigns during the war.

The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa continued as a regiment following the WWII. With their long history of service in the capital, they were granted the Freedom of the City on May 24, 1969. This is the highest honour conferred by a city council upon a military unit.

Lansdowne, History in the Making for our future.

The new Lansdowne offers a host of features unimagined in 1868, but has held true to its origins as a place of community and commerce. The new Urban Park, with over 800 trees and acres of new greenspace, will be visited by residents and their guests for decades to come.

I wonder what the next ‘first’ at Lansdowne will be.

Looking to the legacy of Lansdowne’s heroes past, the ingenuity of Thomas Ahearn, the tenacity of Frank McGee and the nobility of Hamilton Gault, and each of the tens of thousands of veterans who have called Lansdowne home, we know that the possibilities are limited only by our imagination and determination.

Lansdowne will continue to be a place where history is made. I encourage every resident of Ottawa to come, and not just experience Lansdowne’s renaissance, but to help build it as well.

CITY OF OTTAWA

By Mayor Jim Watson For the past 146 years, Lansdowne Park has been one of Ottawa’s most important civic sites. It has hosted agricultural fairs, exhibitions, festivals, concerts and sporting events. At Lansdowne, the Silver Seven brought the Stanley Cup to Ottawa, the 67’s the Memorial Cup, and the Rough Riders the Grey Cup. Lansdowne has been the site of many firsts, for our city and our country. The electric stove, light bulb and telephone all made their Canadian debut here in Ottawa, at Lansdowne.

Lansdowne has, at times, served a more solemn purpose, as a staging area for troops being deployed overseas, or a mass funeral for a fallen police officer.

As we anxiously await the arrival of the renewed and revitalized Lansdowne, we have the opportunity to consider all that this place has meant to the development of our city, as well as the possibilities it provides

TD Place at Lansdowne is ready to kick off a new era of football in the Capital.

The Ottawa RedBlacks are the newest addition to the Canadian Football League. Though the team has a new name, it still maintains the traditional colours that link it to a long and rich history.

The Ottawa Football Club came into existence in 1876 and alternated between the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Unions. After being suspended for rough play in 1897, the Ottawa Football Club reorganized itself into the Ottawa Rough Riders, and adopted the red and black colours of the Canadian Regiment in the Spanish-American War. In 1909, the Rough Riders moved their games from Metropolitan Grounds to Lansdowne, where the team called home until it folded in 1996. However, when the team won its first Grey Cup in 1925 and its second in 1926, they were known as the Ottawa Senators. The team had changed their name the previous year after amalgamating with St. Brigid’s, which played in the city league. In 1927, the team reverted back to the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Lansdowne would continue to be their home over the years, with such hall-of-famers as Tony Golab, Russ Jackson, Tony Gabriel, Tom Clements and Coach Frank Clair. They would win seven more Grey Cups, in 1940, 1951, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1976.

Football made a brief return from 2002 to 2005 with the Ottawa Renegades.

And now it’s back at Lansdowne where the spirit has always remained.

Lansdowne saw hockey’s Stanley Cup hoisted for Ottawa Over its long history, the Stanley Cup has been hoisted in many iconic buildings the Montreal Forum, the Olympiad in Detroit, the Boston Garden – and the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne.

In 1904 the Ottawa Hockey Club, later the Senators and also known as the Silver Seven, were the defending Stanley Cup champions and considered the premier hockey team in Canada. Ottawa had a reputation as a rough team and featured such stars as the Gilmour brothers, Bouse Hutton, and Frank McGee. Three teams challenged Ottawa that year for hockey’s Holy

Grail – the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboroughs, and the Brandon Wheat Kings. Ottawa defeated the Winnipeg in the first series, two games to one. Game Three ranked as the bloodiest Stanley Cup game at that time.

The Ottawa team won the Stanley Cup on home ice at the Aberdeen Pavilion that year and again in 1905. Each player received a pocket watch to commemorate their victory. One of the watches is held at the City of Ottawa Archives. Many old arenas, like the Boston Garden and Detroit Olympiad, no longer stand. But like the pocket watch, the Aberdeen Pavilion still captures the glory of hockey’s early years.

Nursing moms hope to bring normalcy to public breastfeeding Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Moms lounged at Vincent Massey Park watching their older children play nearby with their dads – a typical sight at any park.

Many openly nursed their babies, which organizers of a special public breastfeeding celebration held on Saturday, July 5 hope will also become a typical sight, sooner rather than later.

“It’s just to bring normalcy back to breastfeeding,” organizer Shawna Rioux said of the message behind the second-annual event.

“We want people to pass by and not even notice because it’s normal.”

About 220 people, many of them children, dads and many moms nursing their babies – some of whom came from as far away as Brockville – spent the afternoon in the public setting.

It was a far cry from the 50 people who attended the inaugural event, which was organized in just four weeks and held at Major’s Hill Park

in downtown Ottawa last August.

The success of the secondannual gathering is indicative of a huge amount of support for public breastfeeding in Ottawa, said Rioux, president and founder of Breasts Out for Ontario Babies, or BOOB, a new organization that raises awareness about breastfeeding in public.

“We really want to make sure people know that this isn’t supposed to be uncomfortable,” Rioux said, adding that many moms still only breastfeed in their cars, in public washrooms, or only when they are in the privacy of their own home.

“I really did start that way,” she said, adding that when her son, who is now 17 months, was born, she found it difficult covering up in public each time she needed to feed her baby. “It was hard. I did go around covering for the first little while and then I thought, ‘You know what? I really don’t care anymore.’ It’s just more work for me and he’s getting mad because he’s pushing

the blanket off.”

Through BOOB, Rioux hopes to educate more people that women have the right to breastfeed anytime, anywhere under the Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

There have been recent incidents in Ottawa in which breastfeeding mothers were the target of insensitive or harassing comments because they were feeding their babies in a public setting, she said.

She pointed to the recent example of a Starbucks barista employee offering a nursing mother support and a free drink voucher after another customer complained about the mom breastfeeding her baby in public.

The barista’s supportive response prompted Rioux to drop by and thank him for his support.

The negative reaction of the other customer serves as a reminder that more awareness and education is needed, reason why Rioux’s group is working hard to support women and helping

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Kemptville resident Tara Petrie breastfeeds her child, nine-month-old Adelaide Petrie, during the second-annual Breasts Out for Ontario Babies awareness event at Vincent Massey Park on July 5. them feel more comfortable with something so natural.

“To raise … public awareness on public breastfeeding is very rare, which is why I felt there was a need for it,” she said of the work she and other moms are doing through BOOB. “There’s a huge following of breastfeeding in Ottawa.”

Rioux is seriously considering once again holding the third-annual public breastfeeding celebration in Vincent Massey Park, as well as taking her campaign to Toronto or Montreal to spread the positive message.

The goal is to eventually have similar events take place every year throughout

Ontario.

“We really believe in what we’re doing and we know we’re making a difference,” said Rioux. “I mean Saturday was the perfect example.”

New fundraiser to help grieving families Mother of murdered girl wants to make a difference Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A grieving mother is looking to help other moms like her and children of murdered women by building a place of sanctuary.

Susan Martin lost her daughter, Terrie Ann Dauphinais when

Ottawa Valley Tours

she was murdered in 2002, leaving behind three young children. Dauphinais death remains unsolved and over the past 12 years, Martin has been working hard trying to heal and now, as every day she becomes a little stronger, the mother wants to do a little good amongst the darkness by building a therapeutic farm for her grandchildren and other children of murdered or lost women.

“Our dream and our goal is to start the first therapeutic farm out in Alberta so we can help the children who are left behind and so we can keep them on stay on the right track,” Martin said.

To help make this dream a reality, Martin will be hosting

Terrie’s Fundraiser on June 19 at the Bronson Centre. Her goal is to raise at least $250,000 for the farm. The farm will have horses, donated by Martin, as well as other animals, as tending to animals, Martin said is a great way to start to heal.

“The children can work with the animals and learn how to take care of them,” Martin said.

“It will be about therapy and spending time with the animals and talking about how they feel.”

According to Martin, the number of children left behind by murdered or missing native women is at least 1,186 in Canada.

Martin will be catering the event with a full dinner and snacks and drinks, including beef pot pies, lasagna, soup, bannocks and desserts. There will also be wine, beer and tea and coffee.

“It makes my heart sing when people can’t move because they ate too much,” Martin said.

go so it can continue. It can’t bring my child back but we can make a difference,” Martin said.

“The first one will be in Alberta, but I want it to spread it across Canada and have different families run them; get the families involved.”

For Martin, the farms are but one thing she would like to do for these families, mentioning when a child goes missing, the cost for flyers, organizing search parties and sending families to the city or town where their child was murdered all costs money they may not have.

“We know what they are going through. That is our focus - the farm and helping the families,” she said.

Martin wants the charity to be able to help with this and more, so that the suffering could be a little less, or day to day worries don’t need to take place.

murder. The children left behind don’t have a voice. We want to help give them one,” Martin said.

The farm will be open all year and children from families of missing and murdered women will be able to come during the summer months and school breaks. Martin knows first-hand the healing powers animals can have, as it was her own horses who helped her come out of her shell four years after her daughter’s death.

“The animals kept me level,” she said. “The horses gave me therapeutic healing. You are working with such a big animal they need your attention. It does help, but doesn’t take away the pain that I have in my heart. You might get justice but there is no closure. We have to live with this the day we die.”

The first therapeutic farm will be in between Calgary for Dauphinais’ children to inherit but Martin sees this as the first of many farms across the country.

“I know the vision I have for this farm; I just want it to

R0032774587

Last year 3,841 lost cats weren’t claimed by their owners. The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) made some tremendous progress in many, many areas, particularly since the move to West Hunt Club. Almost every measure shows improvement. The one glaring exception? The one stubbornly low statistic is cat return-to-owner rate. Last fiscal year, it was an abysmal 5.2%. Worse, it has only exceeded 6% one year in the last decade. That means of the 4,052 stray cats admitted last year, only 211 went home, most because no one came looking for them. When added to the several thousand cats surrendered by their owners, that creates enormous pressure as the OHS cares for and rehomes this huge number of cats.

Many strategies have been tried over the years to return more lost cats to their homes, but none have had a significant effect.

The OHS needs the animal community’s help.

What can you do?

First, keep your cat indoors. The OHS estimates that this one step in responsible animal ownership would reduce the number of stray and injured cats by over a half.

Second, identify your cat. Even indoor cats escape, especially in the summer when the screen door is opened and closed a

Beans

Hi there, I’m Beans the Chihuahua ! My new family likes to call me “Beansy”, though.

I’m a rescue adopted from The Ottawa Dog Rescue.

Instead of living on the streets, I now have 2 dog brothers to steal beds from, a cat to chase all around the house, 3 kids to snuggle with (under the blankets of course, so that I surprise them in the middle of the night), and lots of toys to rip the stuffing out of the middle. FUN! Best new life ever!

Adopt a rescue please, and give us a second chance.

Community - Rescuing pooches is a labour of love for Ashley Ladouceur, and an expensive one at that.

For that reason she jumped at the chance when Shannon Giust, coowner of Chew-That, a specialty pet food and accessories business in Riverside South, offered to organize a rescue block party that will double as a community celebration and an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue, Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue and Ottawa Dog Rescue.

“We’re certainly not going to say no to that,” said Ladouceur, with Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue.

The Ottawa-based rescue specializes in working with animal shelters and other rescues in Ottawa and Gatineau, Que. to help find homes for pooches of all breeds that have intensive medical needs, as well as pit bull-type breeds that are outlawed in Ontario. Those are re-homed in parts of Quebec and Alberta.

Taking in high-needs dogs is costly for the rescue, which relies on adoption fees, about four fundrais-

ers every year and the generosity of donors to pay for dog food, supplies and medical treatment before dogs are adopted out.

“Our vet costs a month are about $10,000, pending no crisis, pending no major, major surgeries,” said Ladouceur, an Osgoode resident. “It’s pretty high end. We have typically between 50 and 60 dogs in rescue at any time, so it adds up.”

Veterinarian bills include spaying and neutering, dental work, treatment for injuries and various illnesses, special dietary needs, pricey allergy medications and vaccinations, in addition to surgeries and other medical treatments, including amputations.

The block party at the Riverside South Plaza, located at 665 Earl Armstrong Rd., is scheduled for July 19, from 1 to 5 p.m. There will be a silent auction, face painting, pet-nail trimming, dog washes, a microchip clinic for pet identification, lemonade and snow cones and a professional photographer.

There will also be a parade featuring dogs available for adoption.
