News - After a long five years, residents are preparing for the final stages of the Dickinson Square redevelopment process after the city published a request for offers on five parcels of land inside the heart of Manotick.

On July 19, a notice appeared on the online tendering service Merx, inviting developers with experience in heritage, tourism or related projects to bid on one, some or all of the five properties for sale in the square.

Those include four heritage properties (the Carriage Shed where Watson’s Mill staff currently work, Dickinson House currently operating as a living history museum, the Ayres building occupied by Rural Ottawa South Support Services and the vacant Weaver House) and a property with no heritage designations at 1125 Clapp Ln. Watson’s Mill staff, the Rideau Township Historical Society and the ROSSS have long wondered what will become of them once the

properties leave the city’s hands, since the new owners won’t be under any obligation to keep them on as tenants in the square.

The city purchased the properties from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in 2008.

The city’s Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Committee has a mandate to recoup the $2.44 million while preserving the square’s heritage and public access elements.

On July 31, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt walked residents through the redevelopment’s next steps: how the committee will conduct site visits and meetings this summer, evaluate bids in the fall and eventually choose a preferred option for each site, to be presented to the community before the final documents are signed, likely in February.

Unlike previous, more heated meetings, residents seemed resigned to the fact that they won’t be able to kibosh the winning bids once the committee reveals their choices sometime in November.

Moffatt said he believes the committee, which he chairs, can make the right decision on behalf of the community.

News - Ottawa South is still Liberal red.

Liberal John Fraser won the Aug. 1 byelection in Ottawa South, following in the footsteps of his former boss, Dalton McGuinty.

Fraser took 14,925 votes, defeating Progressive Conservative candidate Matt Young, who received

13,631 votes. The result was a surprise for anyone who followed polls published in the week prior to the voting, as Young was predicted to win the byelection.

Once the win was confirmed, Fraser arrived at his victory party at the Kelsey’s restaurant in South Keys where he made his way through the packed pub to a podium.

“I guess it wasn’t a done deal after all,” Fraser said to the raucous

presented by

crowd.

Fraser, who worked as McGuinty’s constituency assistant for 14 years, gave credit to the former premier.

“If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” he said. “I have pretty big shoes to fill.”

Fraser didn’t distance himself from McGuinty’s record during the campaign despite a number of scandals in the last year of McGuinty’s leadership. He said he learned what

voters wanted by knocking on doors during the campaign and suggested Ottawa South residents are more concerned about education, health care and job opportunities than scandals at Queen’s Park.

“They want stronger schools, stronger hospitals and better care for our parents, and jobs for our young people,” Fraser said.

Community - John and Pauline Kuiack have been spending what precious time they have left together going on picnics, taking their three kids to the museum and spending a mini honeymoon at Chateau Montebello.

And this July, they spent one last afternoon with their second family: dozens of hockey players and their families who have been touched by the Manotick couple over the past 15 years as they have coached and managed teams throughout the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association.

The players came out to celebrate and support Pauline, who is dying of cancer.

“The fundraiser was absolutely phenomenal,” said John.

The event, a friendly hockey game at the Bell Sensplex on July 27, pitted some of the Kuiacks’ old recruits against other friends and family.

Held in the international-sized arena complete with commentary, music and a red carpet ceremonial puck drop, the elite-level event was fitting for the couple who are virtual celebrities in the local hockey community.

It was organized by Tyler Cassidy, a 19-year-old Manotick resident, who grew up playing hockey under the tutelage of the Kuiacks.

Being close to the family since he was a pre-schooler – their youngest son, Christopher, is 19 as well - Cassidy knew the Kuiacks have been

struggling to make ends meet while Pauline lives out her final months.

John has stopped working to be with her, and Pauline had to give up her home day care business only a few weeks after her diagnosis in January.

Cassidy said giving back to the Kuiacks is the least he could do after their years of dedication to Manotick’s sport community.

“They have always put others ahead of themselves,” he said. “Every hockey event, every baseball event, any ringette event, they’ve been there.”

Pauline was diagnosed on Jan. 13. While it was classified a cancer of the gastro-intestinal tract, doctors never discovered the cancer’s origin.

Over the past six months, the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes, abdominal lining, ovaries and stomach.

In June Pauline and her husband decided to stop her chemotherapy treatments and just enjoy the time she had left. Doctors say she will likely die before Christmas.

John said Cassidy’s event was especially touching because, as coaches, their goal was to teach the players about respect and compassion on and off the ice.

“When you’re coaching and managing teams, you always hope you have some kind of impact on the boys outside of hockey,” he said.

“What Tyler did on the weekend, it was so moving. It was about hockey, but he had taken it past hockey and

“I don’t think we’ll come back with something people will hate,” he said.

A long list of visioning exercises, public consultations and feedback opportunities over the past two years have informed the committee of the community’s preferences, he said, and four members of the committee, including himself and Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, are “intimately involved in the Manotick area,” he added.

The request for offers requires minimum bids on each of the properties, the most expensive of which is the Clapp Lane property, listed at $800,000.

Dickinson House and the Ayres building are both listed at $600,000, the Carriage Shed at $490,000 and the Weaver House at $400,000.

Leasing is an option (there’s a five-year minimum) but since the lease agreement must pay back a similar value as buying, Moffatt said only long-term leases for 20 or 30 years will be truly viable.

This was done, he said, in an effort to make sure the de-

velopers are committed to the square.

“We want people in the square who want to be there for the long term,” he said.

DASHED HOPES

The RFO’s hard and fast minimums dashed the dreams of some community members in the audience, who hoped the city would leave room for the square’s non-profit tenants to acquire their buildings for a nominal fee, rather than paying full market value.

But Moffatt said the committee has a mandate to try and recoup the city’s costs.

Of course if no one is willing to bid the minimum amount, the city can ditch the current RFO and publish another with lower minimums, Moffatt said.

“It’s based on market value, so if it turns out that’s inaccurate we’ll find out by going to the public,” he said.

Watson’s Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said she is feeling burnt out by the process, which started in 2006 when the RVCA began thinking about selling.

“It’s exhausting,” Geoffrion

said.

The stress of responding to the RFO while running regular programs at the mill is taking a toll, she said, especially since the RFO doesn’t look as feasible for a non-profit bidder as she and her team had hoped.

“It’s not what we were expecting,” she said. “Our vision is to have one entity in Dickinson Square operating so the three main buildings can stay together.”

She said the fact that the city has divided the five properties into separate bids could work to her team’s advantage, but could also lead to five new owners in the square, who may or may not want to work with them.

The potential to lose their operating space in the Carriage Shed is very real, she added, and could permanently damage the square’s character.

“In order for Watson’s Mill to be successful, we need office space in the square,” she said.

Bidders must submit their proposals by Sept. 26. In October, all bids will be evaluated and awarded up to 100

points for a range of criteria.

Forty points are reserved solely for the financial offer: the highest bidder gets a full 40 points, and lesser bids get fewer and fewer points in succession. The other 60 points cover categories like land use, business plan, green initiatives and the number of properties included in the bid.

A 10-point category rewards bidders who include a “community non-profit partner” in their plan.

“They’ll get preferential treatment if they come forward with a bid that works with (the square’s tenants),” Moffatt said.

Geoffrion was hesitant to discuss whether any devel-

“We’ve talked to a lot of people and groups over the years, but ultimately we don’t

John Fraser hangs on over PC’s Matt Young Carefor run/Walk fundraiser Continued from page 1

Fraser is well known in the riding because he was based at McGuinty’s constituency office on Kilborn Avenue. He also benefited from the campaign organization the Liberals have built in the riding; a team that saw Dalton McGuinty and his father hold the provincial seat for 26 years.

Among the campaign workers, Ron Legault said he wasn’t surprised at the result. He said he’s been working for the Liberals in Ottawa South for 41 years and spent the rainy day driving people to the polls.

“We were well organized,” Legault said shortly before the win was confirmed at 10:47 p.m. “The polls forgot about us (the campaign workers).”

A couple hundred PC supporters who gathered with Young at the Southway Hotel forwent disappointment and instead chose to focus on gains moving towards a future election, possibly in the spring.

The prospect of wiping out former premier Dalton McGuinty’s legacy in Ottawa South brought out more than double the number of volunteers to knock on doors, hand out brochures, install lawn

signs and scrutinize polling stations.

Four hundred volunteers contributed to Young’s byelection campaign, compared to 180 people for McGuinty’s last campaign in 2011.

“That means that the conservative movement in Ottawa South is alive and it’s strong and it’s going to keep coming,” Young said.

“We won’t need to introduce myself to people anymore. We’ll just talk about why we’re here and what we’ll do for them,” he said. “Now we’ve got the ground game figured out.”

Next time, he said he will start the campaign earlier.

“I think we ran a strong campaign,” Young said. “We seriously narrowed the margin of victory for the other guy and we put them on notice that we’re going to come back next time if they don’t change the way they’re governing.”

Randall Denley, the PC candidate for Ottawa WestNepean, said polls showing Young ahead of Fraser were “wildly optimistic.”

“It wasn’t in sync with what we were hearing at all,” Denley said.

“It did create an expectation that somehow we could just walk in and take this riding.”

an easy riding for the conservatives to win, Denley said, having been held by Liberals and mainly McGuintys for 26 years.

“But they didn’t win by much,” Denley said. “We’re well positioned for Round 2. I don’t think Mr. Fraser should get too comfortable in his new position.”

Young said Fraser has already spent more than a decade working on behalf of Ottawa South constituents as McGuinty’s executive assistant.

“People determined they want to stay the course,” Young said.

That wasn’t the case in other ridings. Of the five Liberal seats up for byelections, only two remained red: Ottawa South and the Toronto-area riding of Scarborough-Guildwood, where Mitzie Hunter took the seat.

The NDP picked up two seats, while the PCs garnered one in the Toronto riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore.

About 30 workers from the Bronywn Funiciello campaign gathered at Ralph’s Sports Bar cheered when it was announced the New Democratic Party had picked up two of the five seats: one in London West and another in WindsorTecumseh.

“We’re thrilled with the results,” said Funiciello. “I think it’s indicating Ontarians are looking for a progressive voice. I’m very proud to an NDP today.”

In Ottawa South, the NDP trailed the Liberals and PCs all night, with support hovering around the 15 per cent mark.

Funiciello said the electorate’s vote was skewed by fear, something she heard again and again while campaigning across the riding.

“I was hearing there was some concern about having a PC elected,” she said.

The Green Party’s Taylor Howarth agreed that people voted strategically in Ottawa South.

“I don’t really see any big change,” said Howarth.

When campaigning door to door, Howarth said voters told her they didn’t like the Liberals but they were afraid of seeing a Conservative elected.

“People were afraid to vote for what they want,” she said.

“People are not necessarily happy with the Liberal Party but they don’t want to have Matt Young in.”

The Greens took 3.1 per cent of the vote in the byelection.

Lisa Moore, with the help of the Osgoode Youth Association, has set up a “little library” inside O-YA for readers to share their favourite books with others.

During regular O-YA hours, members of the community can choose a book from the bookshelf or leave a recent read for someone else to take home. Borrowers can return books when they’re done, or pass them along to a friend.

The library is not meant to become a drop-off for unwanted books and magazines; rather, it should be about passing on your favourite stories for others to enjoy, Moore said.

“I have a lot of books in my personal library that I’ve loved and they’re collecting dust and I’d love to have someone else enjoy them,” Moore said. “I want it to be good quality reading material. In my mind it’s about books that people have loved and want to pass on.”

Moore also has a more practical reason for wanting an accessible space to share books.

“I’m not a big fan of imposed deadlines on my reading,” she said, noting that the city library’s deadlines aren’t always in line with her reading patterns. “I don’t like to be rushed and I’m not good at remembering the deadline.”

And, being a smaller branch, Osgoode’s library is only open sporadically throughout the week. It’s closed on Fridays and Sundays, and only open four hours on Saturdays. During the week, opening hours are split up throughout the day. Some days it’s open for three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening, but closed in the afternoon. Other days it’s only open from 2 p.m. on, but if you come between 5 and 5:30 p.m. it’s closed for dinner.

“The hours are so bizarre that they’re not really conducive to dropping in whenever you want,” Moore

said.

The new “freecycle” library will instead operate on O-YA’s hours.

O-YA director Nicole McKerracher jumped on the idea to host the library when Moore posted her idea on Facebook in July, looking for a venue.

According to O-YA programmer Samantha McCaffrey-Roots, the youth centre had already been looking for a way to incorporate a similar book-lending program into their space.

Despite the youth-focused location, McCaffrey-Roots said the library is just one piece of a larger plan to encourage more members of the community to visit the space, whether they have children or not.

“It creates another community atmosphere within O-YA,” she said.

Recently the youth centre has hosted several community-focused events, including an art gallery opening in June. The youth centre’s B.side cafe, which caters to youth ages 11 to18 on Thursdays, was also recently opened to all ages on Sunday afternoons. McCaffrey-Roots said the library will fit nicely with the cafe program.

“A lot of downtown cafes in Ottawa have a lending library,” McCaffrey-Roots said. “Universally it seems like it’s going really well for them.”

So far the bookshelf includes

O-YA staff Samantha McCaffrey-Roots and Osgoode resident Lisa Moore hope the new ‘little library’ in the youth centre will encourage a love of literature and community co-operation in the village. books from Stieg Larsson’s Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series, Eoin Colfer’s sci-fi fantasy works, the Shopaholics series, Jodi Picoult, Philip

Pullman, J.K. Rowling and more.

Most of the books are from Moore’s collection, but donations are welcome.

Moore will also host a book club at O-YA at the end of August centred on the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

The Swamp Water Jazz Band will return to the mill’s wine tasting event this year.

Cuba Your Way WIN! $1000

News – Watson’s Mill’s latest 19-plus event promises a bright, elegant evening with a hint of opulence that’s anything but dry.

On Friday, Aug. 9, as many as 150 guests can enjoy an evening of Ontario wine tasting inside the Manotick landmark as they learn how to properly assess their samples for aroma, taste and quality.

“I’m hoping to make it an educational sort of evening,”

said event organizer Alex Smaridge. Wine tasting tips will be posted around the mill.

For example, one tip will show guests how to properly test for aroma by swirling the wine and sniffing from a variety of distances.

For $35, guests can sample five wines from across the province, including several from a winery in Munster Hamlet, located southwest of Stittsville.

Others come from Niagara region or Prince Edward County. Guests can buy extra

samples for $2.

Sucre Sale in Manotick will cater the event with a number of h’orderves, and the Swamp Water Jazz Band will provide some swinging entertainment.

By a stroke of luck, the mill even has a resident wine expert on staff this year.

“We have one staff member who is really prolifically educated in wine and he has fantastic knowledge about wines and their aromas,” Smaridge said.

Winchester man arrested in stabbing death

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Police arrested a 50year-old Winchester man Aug. 2 in connection with the murder of 28-year-old Winchester woman Melissa Richmond.

The suspect’s name was not to be released until he appeared in court on Aug. 3, after this newspaper’s deadline.

A week earlier, Richmond spent the evening with her husband, Howard, 50, and friends before heading out for a drive to unwind, said longtime friend Shelley Rabinovitch.

On Friday, her gold Sebring was discovered in the parking lot of South Keys Shopping Centre near Kelsey’s restaurant. Richmond’s body was discovered nearby two days later on the morning of Sunday, July 28.

Friends were remembering Richmond as a caring person and loving wife after learning of her murder on July 29.

Although friends and family expected an autopsy to identify the body as Richmond’s, Rabinovitch said “a certain excruciating finality” came with the news.

Richmond’s husband, Howard, – a close friend of Rabinovitch’s – was “completely shattered,” she said. The husband didn’t get an update until late Monday afternoon after Rabinovitch contacted police upon learning from a friend that a police press release was about to be issued.

“I was very upset because another member of the media had informed me that a press release was about to go out and they were just waiting for the French translation, and I knew damn well they hadn’t told Howard because I had been in (his) house for four days,” she said.

How her friend ended up dead in Ottawa is a mystery, said Rabinovitch, who couldn’t think of anyone who didn’t love Richmond.

“There was no one who ever met her who didn’t love her immediately,” Rabinovitch said.

Police said they don’t have any information about suspects.

“We really thought she had just bugged out to be with a friend or something, or, that she had run off into a ditch and been injured,” Rabinovitch

ally who didn’t like her.”

Rabinovitch acted as Richmond’s mentor for historic reenactment and role-playing.

They are both members of the Canton of Harrowgate Heath, a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism whose members meet regularly to celebrate and recreate the heritage of the European Middle Ages.

“It’s been almost a motherdaughter relationship,” Rabinovitch said. “We were very close.”

Alarm bells went off about 12 hours later, when family members realized she hadn’t made her way to Petawawa, where her military family resides, and she wasn’t with friends.

That launched an organized search that saw approximately 40 of Richmond’s friends and even strangers – many of them members of the Canadian Forces – combing back roads searching for her car.

On Monday morning the investigation continued at the South Keys shopping centre, where five officers were searching through the bushes separating a ravine from the Kelsey’s parking lot.

The restaurant was closed and police tape surrounding the parking lot cordoned off the area and emergency services and underwater search and rescue vehicles were on site, along with two white trailers.

A manager from the neighbouring Denny’s restaurant

said police reviewed security camera footage from that restaurant.

Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to call OPP at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493.

said. “Absolutely nobody assumed that a loved one goes away for an hour and is the victim of random violence.”

“I’m just hoping and praying they get DNA out from under her fingernails or something,” Rabinovitch said.

It wasn’t uncommon for Richmond, a dental hygienist, to go for a drive to unwind, Rabinovitch said.

South Keys was a regular destination for Richmond and her husband to catch a movie or meet up with friends from an historical re-enactment group they are members of called the Society for Creative Anachronism.

“She’s like me. It’s like, ‘I’m just rolling out for a drive and I’ll be back in a little while,’” Rabinovitch said.

“She just found it very relaxing and she was just out having a night drive.”

Rabinovitch, who lives in South Keys, speculated that the Denny’s restaurant at the plaza might have been her friend’s destination, since it is open 24/7.

Richmond had been in good spirits when she left her home south of Winchester, she said goodbye to her husband before leaving without her cellphone, Rabinovitch said.

Rabinovitch has known Richmond for a decade and described her as bright, vivacious and bubbly.

“She was just loving and charismatic and silly and beautiful,” Rabinovitch said.

Let the election spin begin

A

s soon as the polls closed on Aug. 1, the pundits were hard at work trying to generate the best spin possible for their parties.

Interpreting the results all depends how you look at them.

The New Democratic Party picked up two seats, with Peggy Sattler taking London West and Percy Hatfield winning in Windsor-Tecumseh.

NDP leader Andrea Horwath said the results were a call for change, with voters expressing their displeasure with a government plagued by scandals over the past year.

In a race that was deemed too close to call until late into the night, Conservative Doug Holyday, the former deputy mayor of Toronto, was declared the winner in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, creating a blue fissure in the Liberals’ Fortress Toronto.

Even though they only took one seat, Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak pointed out that all five ridings in the 2013 byelection were seats held by former Liberal cabinet ministers.

Meanwhile, the Liberals managed to take two seats, with Mitzie Hunter keeping the Toronto-area riding of Scarborough Guildwood and perhaps most importantly, John Fraser holding onto Ottawa

South, former premier Dalton McGuinty’s riding.

A poll prior to last week’s byelection predicted Conservative Matt Young would take the riding, which has elected a Liberal MPP for nearly three decades.

Bronwyn Funiciello (NDP) and Taylor Howarth (Green), candidates who placed third and fourth respectively in Ottawa South, complained people were voting strategically, throwing their support behind Fraser in fear of a PC win in Ottawa South.

If anything, last week’s results have left us with more questions than answers.

By the numbers, the Liberals lost three seats.

But another way of looking at it is they went into the election a minority government and emerged a minority government.

None of the opposition parties would have been able to top the Liberals seat count in last week’s byelections anyway.

It seems the Aug. 1 byelections merely served as appetizers for the hotly-anticipated main course.

The next general election is another two years away, unless the Tories and NDP combine to topple the minority Liberal government.

Until then, the true feelings of the electorate will remain anyone’s guess or spin.

COLUMN

Federal Liberal Party’s platform may have gone up in smoke

A

fter months of waiting with bated breath, Liberals finally got a – shall we say whiff? – of Justin Trudeau’s platform.

Late July, while on tour in British Columbia, the Liberal leader, best known for his appeal to young people, announced that should he form a government, he’d legalize marijuana.

Justin, Justin, Justin. Can I call you Justin?

What the heck is going on, man?

Don’t you want Liberals to regain some of their base? Don’t you want to have a chance at power in, say, six years?

Let’s be honest, 2015 is a little optimistic for the party that began a decade of implosion after the knives came out for J.C. – as in Jean Chretien.

I understand you connect with young people, but in case you didn’t get the memo, Justin, young people don’t vote. And according to an informal survey I did recently – I called a few people – a lot of pot smokers don’t vote.

The ones that do? Well, they don’t really care if it’s legal or not, do they, ’cause they’re already thumb their noses at the law. It’s really not a make or break issue for them.

Then there are people like me. I won’t

lie. I’ve smoked pot, more than once. But I haven’t touched the stuff since the days of my extended adolescence (read: university years).

Today, I stick to the legal goods: red wine, cigars, etc. There are a few reasons for this.

For one, I don’t really like smoking pot. And two, it’s illegal.

Call me old-fashioned, but partaking in illegal activity is, to quote Austin Powers, “not my bag, baby.”

Frequent trips to the LCBO are on my radar. The odd voyage to Mac’s Milk to buy ciggies, no problem. But seeking out a shady guy possessing and trafficking marijuana?

Just not worth my time.

clared that, should it be legalized, consumption of marijuana would go down. Ha! That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard. Can you imagine walking into a corner store and asking for a pack of joints before that weekend trip to the cottage? We’d all be doing it, at least on occasion. And so would our kids.

What I find odd is that we would consider legalizing a substance that, when smoked, can make bystanders a little high. Aren’t we on the brink of outlawing cigarettes, primarily because of complaints by second-hand smokers? If it’s legal, how does the state regulate where, how and how often it can be used, and by whom?

How would you regulate impaired driving while under the influence of this substance?

I know a handful of people who regularly “toke and drive” and it’s risky business.

One guy I knew actually flew a small Cessna over Toronto with me after he’d smoked two large reefers on Front Street. I only found out afterward. If he’d been drunk, it would have been more obvious to the flight trainers and to me and he may have faced consequences. But he was high and didn’t have any of the goods on his person. So no problem.

Of course, Justin, you don’t have to worry

about the nitty-gritty like roadside urine tests and the construction of hotboxes in people’s backyards to contain second-hand smoke.

You get to be, excuse the pun again, “highlevel” on the details.

But Justin, Justin, my friend, if you ever want to win an election, you’ve got to reach out to your voter base.

And in case you missed that memo, too, they’ve all got grey hair and are, even as I write this, moving into retirement communities.

In their minds, any potential for your party platform may have just gone up in smoke.

Arts - The Greely Country Music Festival fell just a note short of its fundraising goal this year.

President of the Greely Legion, Wyman said this was the sixth year the group had hosted performers from the Ottawa Valley and beyond in an effort to raise money for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital. In 2012 the legion raised $4,000 over the two-day festival and Wyman said organizers were hoping to beat that.

“There were a lot of repeat customers, this year,” Wyman said, estimating that a little more than 100 trailers set up camp at the legion’s Mitch Owen’s Road property for the weekend.

“Some people were already arriving on Thursday,” she said.

The festivities took place on July 26, 27 and 28, hosting acts from as far away as Douglas, Ont. and Shawville, Que. Arnold Scheerder, the chair of the hospital’s charitable foundation, said he attended the festival and everyone seemed to be having a great time.

“This event is a perfect ex-

ample of how some hard work and a common interest – like country music – can, in turn, benefit thousands, like patients and their families, who rely on quality care with a smile at WDMH,” he said in a pres release.

The event is planned around the camper’s season, Wyman said, adding a weekend or two later and organizers would have to compete with events in Shawville.

The hospital announced on July 31 that it received $3,000 from the annual festival.

Wyman said there less walkin concert goers this year than in previous years.

“That can be a tough one to count on,” she said. “It depends on what else is going on in the area.”

WRD, an Ottawa-area oldtime country band kicked the weekend off with a performance on Friday night. More than 15 local acts showcased their talent during the two days.

“The crowd tends to be older and they like the more traditional stuff,” Wyman said.

The legion hosted a dinner on Friday night, and other meals throughout the weekend for a

Communities invited to pitch in for Pinhey dune Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Community - After two years of painstaking work, a unique sandy habitat is beginning to re-emerge in the depths of Nepean.

But work on the Pinhey sand dunes isn’t done yet.

The group working to restore the rare desert-like habitat is asking residents from neighbouring communities to pitch in and help clear plant

growth and debris from the area as the summer winds down.

At first, organizers with the Biodiversity Conservancy International and the Stewards of the Sand Dunes wondered how to get people excited about cutting down trees and restoring a sandy, hot environment that is almost totally free of plant life. But neighbours have adopted the unusual conservation project with gusto, said volunteer co-ordinator Joanne Hakaku.

R0012216466_0725

“I always sort of get goose bumps when I think about it,” she said. “You can see the community spirit come alive … before, community was just a concept to me.”

The group is once again looking for ecologically-minded volunteers who can pitch in for the next phase of the project.

Thanks to $100,000 in funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, partnerships with and funding from the city and NCC and about 1,000 volunteer hours, the group has cleared a section of dunes representing about three per cent of the dune system’s original size 10,000 years ago, when the sandy area was created by receding iceburgs.

The group wants to more than triple the size of the current reclaimed area, which means more volunteer effort is needed.

A small group of volunteers heads out Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings, but the group is looking for volunteers from several nearby neighbourhoods to come out from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on their community’s volunteer day: • Sunday, Sept. 8: Grenfell Glen, Pineglen and Country Place • Sunday, Sept. 15: Merivale Gardens • Sunday, Sept. 22: Barrhaven and Longfields

Volunteers are asked to bring gloves, sunscreen and garden tools such as a rake, pickaxe or wheelbarrow. The work includes clearing, raking and sifting debris from the sand and carting it away. Drinking water is provided.

Explaining the logic behind clearing out vegetation is the hardest part of recruiting volunteers, said P.T. Dang, director of Canada’s Capital Sand Dune Conservation Project.

The group is clearing out trees that were planted 50 years ago when there was less understanding of the uniqueness and importance of the sandy habitat, Dang said.

The fine white sand would blow into people’s homes, so the city gave grants for trees to be planted throughout the dune system, which destroyed the habitat of sand-dwelling creatures.

“We are not trying to save a pile of sand. We are trying to save a habitat,” Dang said.

The animals that live in the dunes – mainly insects – are unique and adapted to survive and thrive in the extreme heat environment.

Preliminary observation shows the insect numbers are starting to increase again thanks to the habitat restoration efforts, Dang said.

Species include the rare white tiger beetle, sand wasps, lacewings and

spiders. But none of them are biting insects, Stewards of the Sand Dunes president Dick de Jong pointed out.

“It’s not hard work and you learn a lot because you’re alongside scientists,” de Jong said. “Plus, you get to play in the sand.”

Eileen Phan, a University of Ottawa student and Merivale High School graduate, said she comes out to volunteer because she’s interested in doing something locally to contribute to ecological conservation.

“Personally I think it’s really cool that there is a sand dune so close to where we live,” she said.

The project also included building nature trails with interpretive panels to showcase and educate people about the unique fauna and flora of the dunes. One trail shows off pink lady slipper orchids and robber flies, while another trail focuses on the rare white tiger beetle.

Walkers on a third trail have a good chance of seeing a curious funnel-shaped sand trap the ant lion beetle uses to catch its prey.

The dunes are located in the Pinhey Forest on the north side of Slack Road between Woodroffe Avenue and Vaan Drive. The entrance is at the corner of Vaan Drive and Pineland Avenue. Visit www. biodiversityconservancy.org for more information.

Plum crêpes make tasty treat Lifestyle - This is a great breakfast/brunch or dessert option. The plums are cooked with some star anise until just soft, and is accented by the cardamom in the whipped cream.

Preparation time: One hour Cooking time: 30 minutes Serves: Makes eight crêpes Ingredients

• 3 eggs, lightly beaten • 2 cups (500 ml) milk • 1/4 cup (50 ml) melted butter (approximately) • 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt Plums

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil • 6 Ontario Plums, pitted and quartered • 1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar • 1 cup (250 mL) semidry white wine (such as Riesling) • 8 whole star anise pods • 1 lemon, zest and juice kept separate Whipped cream

• 1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream (35

per cent) • 1/3 cup (75 ml) liquid honey • 1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground cardamom Preparation

In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1/4 cup (50 ml) melted butter, flour and salt until no lumps remain. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before making crêpes.

Plums: In large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown cut side of plums about two minutes per side; sprinkle with sugar.

Add wine, star anise pods and lemon zest to skillet and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook until plums are soft, about four minutes. With slotted spoon, remove plums to heat-proof bowl. Bring syrup to boil; boil until reduced by half, five to six minutes. Add lemon juice to taste; pour over plums. Cover and let cool to room temperature.

Crêpes: Heat eight-inch (20 cm) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush pan with melted butter. Pour in 1/3 cup (75 ml) batter into centre of pan, tilting pan to cover bottom thinly. Return to heat for about one minute or until

bottom is lightly browned. Using spatula, flip crêpe over and brown other side. Remove to plate. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering pan if needed.

(Refrigerate crêpes if not using immediately.)

Whipped Cream: Using electric mixer, whip cream on medium until thickened slightly. Slowly add honey and cardamom, whipping until stiff peaks form, about two minutes.

Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Remove star anise pods from plums.

Place crêpes on cutting board. Divide plum mixture between 8 crêpes, spooning mixture onto one half. Fold crêpes over.

Carefully transfer to plate; garnish with whipped cream, and a star anise pod.

Mother’s war on houseflies was on for another year

T

his time of year, Mother engaged in a never-ending battle with the housefly.

She thought every fly on earth was put there to carry germs and contaminate whatever surface it happened to land on.

Many of our neighbours hung strips of sticky stuff from their ceilings, but Mother would have no part of them. Most of these strips were hung over the kitchen tables, since that seemed to be where the flies accumulated, and if one fly ever had the misfortune of falling off and landing on the oil cloth, or heaven forbid, a piece of food, the entire table would have to be cleared, scoured and whatever food it neared, scraped into Sport’s dog dish at the back door!

Every summer Father hauled the screen door from the drive shed where it had

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories been stored over winter, and hung it with a tight spring.

In fact, the spring was so taut that if you weren’t quick enough getting into the house, you could lose a leg.

That was just another way of making sure a stray fly didn’t get in with us.

There was never enough money to buy fly swatters, and Mother insisted we each have one, so they were homemade. Fashioned out of narrow slats of wood, with layers of green cheese cloth, or sometimes very fine screening attached on the end between more small slats,

the swatters worked just fine.

They were stationed on the bench at the back door, and each of us was commanded to have ours at the ready, just in case a fly managed to enter the house while we came in through the screen door.

In the summertime, any food on the bake table, prepared for our next meal, was covered with spanking clean flour bag tea towels. And when the bowls were moved over to the kitchen table, the towels stayed put. It was a mystery trying to decide which mound of white held the meat, potatoes or vegeta-

bles. Father thought Mother went too far when it came to the common housefly. He insisted the Haneman family had managed to survive in spite of them for generations.

Mother said, “And that’s a miracle in itself.”

She pointed out to Father all he had to do was go out to the cow byre and see the swarms of flies covering the cows’ backsides and the manure. He would know what, if flies were allowed inside, was brought into the house where the very food we were putting in our mouths was there for the taking.

At least once a week Mother had what we called her murderous attack on the common housefly. It didn’t matter how careful we were, how quickly we slammed the screen door, how diligent we were with the swatters, the flies always managed to come into the house.

And when Mother couldn’t stand it any longer, she would announce at the breakfast table that this was the day.

She would cast her eyes around the kitchen, and we wouldn’t even have to ask her just what day that would be.

That meant no one, not even if the house was on fire, was allowed inside until Mother was finished. There was a big tin can of fly tox in the summer kitchen, and on the shelf was a contraption that had a container at one end and a handle and cylinder at the other.

Mother filled the can to capacity, put a white towel around her head, went into the kitchen slamming the doors behind her, and the attack began.

I would often look in the kitchen window from my post outside, and there would be Mother furiously pumping the handle into the cylinder and pouring out what would be a burst of fog-like spray that hung in the air like gossamer curtains. I have no idea how Mother didn’t choke to death.

As soon as she thought she had sprayed enough fly tox into the cavity of the kitchen, she would come out onto the back stoop, gasping for breath, the perspiration pouring down her face like falling rain and a look of complete satisfaction on her beet-red face.

Then she would collapse into the twig chair, still with the spray can in her hand, and fan her face with the tail of her apron.

We had to wait for ages before anyone was allowed back in the kitchen, and when we were, the grand cleanup began. The newspapers would be taken off the cooled Findlay Oval, rolled up and crammed into its fire box, Audrey would get the broom, and I stood at the ready with the dust pan, and the sweepup began. The flies didn’t have a chance. Audrey would sweep up the dead bodies; I would take the dustpan to the stove, amazed at how many had fallen under Mother’s attack. Mother would light a match to the papers in the stove after piling on a couple sticks from the wood box, and soon the Findlay Oval would be raging.

The smell of the fly tox hung in the air for hours, but that didn’t seem to bother Mother in the least. The deed was done for a short spell.

But the never-ending battle continued until the frost hit the farm at the end of the summer.

Nature museum celebrates ripe old age of 100 Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature is celebrating its centennial this year, making it as old some of the rare finds between its walls.

In its infancy, the museum was gathering artifacts at an alarming rate, and some of the first items it put on display were those ancient monsters that lay dormant beneath the Alberta tar sands for more than 65 million years.

The museum officially opened its doors in January of 1913.

“Crowds of people visited the fossil gallery, with it often being crowded up to the hour of closing,” wrote Lawrence Lambe, the museum’s paleontologist in 1913.

Now, paleontologist Jordan Mallon reflects that people have had many chances to see dinosaurs at the movie theatre, with films such as Jurassic Park. But seeing them in person in the museum’s fossil gallery hall can ignite a visitor’s imagination, he said.

“These things are so unlike anything alive today,” he said.

“We all marvel in monsters and here we have proof that something like Godzilla existed. It never gets old. The fossils get older, but they never get old to look at.”

Once known as the Hall of Fossil Vertebrates, the Talisman Energy Fossil Gallery now has more than 30 complete skeletons on display, 15 life-sized models and hundreds of specimens.

In 1913, it was a different story. The museum was brand spanking new and in order to have items to draw in the crowds, the organization decided it had to jump on “the bone war” wagon and hired Charles H. Sternberg, a Kansas archeologist, sending him to Alberta to find skeletons of 65- to 85million-year-old dinosaurs.

“They didn’t make much, but for Charles, it was all about the joy of showing God’s handy work,” Mallon said.

As Mallon walks through the gallery as it stands today, he notes that although much has changed in what we now know about dinosaurs and how scientists handle the specimens, the 100-year-old skeletons in the hall still are spectacular.

“They went out in the field in 1912, the fossils went on display in 1913 - they managed to turn it around in a year, it’s amazing,” he said. “Now a-days to prep something like this would take much longer.”

Edmontosaurus was placed on display in July 1913. It’s estimated to weigh nearly 15,000 pounds and took 20 men to bring into the hall. According to Mallon, this fossil is about 95 per cent complete - about as good as it gets when it comes to finding a complete dinosaur. The fossil was found

by Sternberg and mounted in the hall just as it was found in the field - with one small detail changed.

“He commented that the way its head laid looked pathetic so he gave it some more life and moved it,” Mallon said.

In Sternberg’s field notes, the bone collector described finding the skeleton in his book “Hunting Dinosaurs in the Bad Lands of the Red Deer River, Alberta Canada”.

“The animal lay like a dead dog; I thought I had never seen anything so pitiful and forlorn,” Sternberg wrote.

“Charlie and I mounted it the

Mallon notes that Sternberg’s timeline is outdated, and that this animal lived over 71 million years ago.

Two other skeletons which were placed on display at the museum in 1913 – a Xiphactinus, a large extinct fish, and brontothere, a mammal much

next winter, and were careful to put a little life into the dead skeleton by straightening out the neck a little, and giving a sense of motion, as it were, to the tail, so that the animal would not look as repulsive as it otherwise would to some observers; for there is such a thing as breathing life into the skeletons that have been buried

like a rhinoceros – can still be found in the same area of the museum they were placed 100 years ago.

“At the time, no one in Canada would have seen something like this in Canada,” Mallon said.

Plans for a formal celebration haven’t been set. Visit nature.ca for more information.

Osgoode museum drama camp Keep Your Weekends Free!

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - Ever wanted to visit the Emerald City?

Make your dreams come true and travel to the land of Ozgoode this summer as part of the Osgoode Township Museum’s drama camp.

Beginning Aug. 13, as many as 30 kids can go over the rainbow to help Dorothy and her friends find the great and powerful wizard of Oz. In this localized version, Dorothy Gale hails from the small town of Vernon, and is swept to the land of Ozgoode in a raging tornado.

For two weeks, children ages six to 14 can spend their weekday afternoons at the museum in the heart of Vernon, learning the play and re-

hearsing for the final performance, which will be open to the public on Friday, Aug. 23 behind the barn.

Since the classic story is so well-known, this year’s drama camp has added a musical touch to the performance.

“We’re going to throw in a couple of songs,” said Fiona Donnelly, a summer student helping with the museum’s summer programs. “We have ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road’, ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’, ‘If I Only Had a Brain’, and the Munchkinland one.”

Already more than 20 children have signed up for the camp, and Donnelly said registration will be capped at 30 kids. But having a full house is better than having too few, she said.

“The more the better. Last year we didn’t have as many so it was difficult to distribute the parts,” she said.

Roles are assigned after the group does a few readthroughs of the script, to see how the young actors handle certain parts.

The camp takes into consideration that some children want to play certain characters, Donnelly said.

She encouraged anyone with an itch for acting to sign up for the camp.

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said.

“Last year the kids really enjoyed it, and a lot of the kids are coming back.”

The two-week camp costs $60 per child. For more information or to register call 613-821-4062 or visit osgoodemuseum.ca.

Fire Hydrants: testing For your saFety This summer, as in past years, the City of Ottawa will be testing municipal fire hydrants on various streets throughout your community. Fire hydrant testing may result in temporary inconveniences, such as poor water pressure and brown or rust-coloured water. It is important to note that temporarily discoloured City water is not harmful to your health. This ongoing maintenance procedure ensures that our hydrants are ready, should Fire Services require their use.

Over the next few weeks, the City will be testing fire hydrants in the following neighbourhoods:

Ottawa Mission closes kitchen for renovations Still serving more than 1,200 meals every day Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Mission kitchen will be closed this month while the well-used space receives much-needed repairs.

But the temporary closure will not impact the mission’s commitment to serving more than 1,200 meals a day to those in need.

A 13-metre long mobile kitchen has been set up outside the mission to prepare meals while the permanent kitchen undergoes repairs.

Spokeswoman for the mission, Shirley Roy, said the trailer was integral to the renovation plans.

“We really didn’t want to interrupt services to people in need. It’s crucial for the people who come here,” Roy said.

During August, kitchen

staff and volunteers will prepare the meals in the trailer, which houses a walk-in refrigerator, a ventilation system , a fire suppression system, a large deep fryer, and sinks for washing dishes.

The trailer will be parked at the dead end of Daly Avenue, at Waller Street. Food will be served in the common area and the mission’s dining hall will remain open as usual.

On average, the mission has around 235 residents staying at the shelter per night, who receive three meals a day, said Roy. The organization also serves community meals for other area residents in need.

Renovated 10 years ago, the constant use of the kitchen has worn out the floor, and over the past few years, the mission has been repairing it piece by piece, said Roy. “It’s a busy place; it has been worn really easily,” she said.

There is also concerns mold and mildew was growing in the walls. The renovation will cost $120,000, which includes the cost of the $12,000 mobile kitchen and will see the

kitchen’s flooring and walls replaced with higher quality floorboards and stainless-steel walls.

“We have been planning for this for quite some time, the board of directors knew this was coming,” Roy said.

It’s important for people who make charitable donations to realize the money not only puts food on the table, it is also critical for funding the mission’s entire operation, such as fixing lights, adding beds or updating the building, she said. The kitchen’s renovation should be completed

by Labour Day weekend, said Roy, adding that the fall and winter tend to be the shelter’s busiest months.

Percy Belford prepares food in a 13-metre long trailer outside the Ottawa Mission on Daly Avenue. The trailer was brought in to help serve more than 1,200 meals a day while the organization closes its kitchen for repairs. Food will be served in the mission’s common area and the dining hall will remain open.

ID#A102737

Meet Smudge, a 6-year-old, neutered male, brown tabby and white domestic shorthair cat who loves to cozy up with his humans!

He was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 26 and is now available for adoption!

Smudge is patient and has a great easy-going disposition. He wouldn’t mind sharing his household with cats and children, as long as they are cool as a cucumber, just like him.

Smudge loves to play and would love if his new family could provide him with

great toys!

Meet Sunday, a 6-year-old, spayed female, torbi and white domestic longhair cat who was surrendered by her owner on June 18 and is ready to be adopted!

She came to the shelter with her best friend Lady Gaga (A157325), and would much prefer being accompanied by her when going to her new forever home.

Sunday has been known to use her scratching post daily, and would be okay with living with a gentle, and non-intrusive dog. She has a long, luxurious coat which will need daily brushings in order to stay nice and shiny!

Visit the OHS website at www. ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

PET OF THE WEEK

Celebrate The Ottawa Humane Society’s 125th Anniversary with a Cat Adoption Special!

The adoption promotion celebrates the 125 years that the OHS has been the leading organization in Ottawa to provide a haven for sick and injured animals. Summer is also busy season at the shelter and while excited about the milestone, these kitties are really just looking to celebrate the achievement in new forever homes.

LuckyBlue is a 3 year old mixed breed who came to us a year ago. He seems to love the sun, however, part of his anscenstory is Siberrian Husky, and he has inherited the light blue eyes. Here he is, enjoying the summer sunshine. He seems to apprecitate wearing sunglasses and will keep them on. We figure it helps him from squinting when he is inspecting the yard for squirrels.

Come celebrate the Ottawa Humane Society’s 125th anniversary with a special promotion on adult cats. To mark this milestone, the OHS is reducing the adoption fee on cats older than six months to $125 in August - that’s one dollar for every year the OHS has been helping animals in Ottawa.

The $125 adoption fee includes a health guarantee, microchip, spay or neuter, and six weeks of Petsecure Insurance.

Everyone who adopts an adult cat from the OHS or its Pet Adoption Locations (P.A.L.) will be entered to win a fabulous cat climbing tree, donated by PetSmart. The tree is on display at the 245 West Hunt Club Rd. shelter. All adult cat adopters also get 25 per cent off purchases at the shelter’s Buddy & Belle Boutique the day they pick up their new furry friend.

Aries, try not to pick sides when asked for your opinion on a dispute between close friends. Giving the impression of picking sides may strain a friendship.

Many positive things are on the horizon, Taurus. You just have to get through a few rough spots before it is clearer sailing this week. Pisces is a pivotal player.

Challenge yourself this week, Gemini. Now is a great time to take on a new hobby or task and test your mettle. You will be glad you did when you accomplish your goals.

Cancer, trust those around you as they can be a valuable source of support and encourgagment. Work to be there for them as much as they have been there for you.

Leo, a travel opportunity is just over the horizon, so have your bags packed and ready to depart at a moment’s notice. You can certainly use some time away.

Virgo, once you think you have everything figured out, a few variables get thrown into the mix. You will show your ability to solve problems if you can handle the task.

Libra, someone close to you puts their faith in your ability to get a job done. Devote all of your attention to completing this task, and it will only enhance your resume.

Scorpio, others are quick to look to you for help because of your work ethic, experience and attention to detail. Embrace these opportunities as they can help your career.

Sagittarius, it could be in your best interest to remain out of the spotlight at the next social gathering. You might have a more enjoyable time as a fly on the wall.

Capricorn, tight deadlines at work will have the pressure on you and your coworkers. But stick to the task at hand, and you will reap the rewards in the near future.

Hard work will get you ahead, Aquarius. Don’t shy away from an opportunity that comes your way, even if it seems less than promising at first glance.

Pisces, you may find yourself in a leadership role this week and will be called on to make a lot of decisions. Take advantage of this opportunity.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
