News - After the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge is completed, the city plans to build a road to get Greely and Metcalfe residents there.

A curved extension of Earl

Armstrong to connect it to Bank Street via High Road, south of Findlay Creek, is planned for far into the future – between 2026 and 2031.

South-end residents will also get access to improved transit service by 2023 thanks to extension of the O-Train line.

The O-Train will be extended south with stops in South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville by 2023, Mayor Jim Watson revealed in the city’s new draft transportation master plan on Oct. 9. See the full story on light rail on Page 3.

Aside from the flashy announcement of $3 billion in rail extensions to the east, south and west ends of Ottawa, the city released its $1-billion draft vision for upgrades and modifications to road, cycling

and pedestrian infrastructure.

These projects would be built in three phases over a long period of time – up to 2031.

ROADS

Getting to and from the south end will be easier in the near future for people who carpool. The city plans to add high-occupancy vehicle lanes to the Airport Parkway. The section from Hunt Club road south to the airport would be

Later, between 2020 and 2026, the parkway would be widened north of Hunt Club to Brookfield Road.

River Coun. Maria McRae noted the pedestrian crossing currently under construction was built with a wide enough span to allow the road to be expanded.

Master plan to widen roads, complete missing links Continued from page 1

• Lester Road will be widened from two to four lanes between the Airport Parkway and Bank Street.

That would happen between 2020 and 2025. • A bottleneck on Prince of Wales between Fisher Avenue and Strandherd Drive will be addressed with widening the road from two to four lanes. • In Barrhaven, upgrades to Strandherd Drive and Chapman Mills are intended to ease transit travel between Barrhaven and Riverside South by adding transit-priority signals and queue-jumping lanes for buses to access the future O-Train station at Bowesville more quickly. • Widening of Strandherd Drive will start between 2014 and 2020 with the section between Fallowfield Road and Maravista Drive being

converted to four lanes. • Later, between 2020 and 2026, the section between Maravista and Jockvale Road will be widened to four lanes. • A new four-lane extension of Chapman Mills Drive west of Longfields Drive to Greenbank Road is planned for 2020-26.

Before the Earl Armstrong extension is built, the city has plans to widen Bank Street between Leitrim and Blais roads.

After the Earl Armstrong is extended, the section of Bank Street south of Blais to Rideau Road would take place later, in the 2026-2031 phase.

Only road expansions or extensions are included in the master plan – not reconstruction of existing roads, which is expected to continue on the current schedule.

&ALL FRESH

A bottleneck on Prince of Wales between Fisher Avenue and Strandherd Drive will be addressed with widening the road from two to four lanes.

CYCLING

In addition to missing links, like completion of bike lanes on sections of Hunt Club Road, the city has planned $70 million in cycling improvements are focused on a handful of categories: • Neighbourhood bikeways: routes that connect residential areas to local schools, recreation facilities and shopping centres that serve them.

There is an east-west network of bike lanes planned starting at Cedarview Road and Kennevale Drive, heading east to Fable Street and Larkin Drive and continuing to a path that connects to Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau Catholic elementary school. It would continue east via Claridge Drive, eventually connecting to Baronness Drive.

A north-south neighbourhood network for Barrhaven is also planned, with a lengthy spine on Beatrice Drive and a connection north of Fallowfield Drive on Woodgate Way. Pleasant Park Road is also getting an east-west bike lane from Riverside to St. Laurent. • Node links: suburban cycling routes that serve large employment centres or educational institutions. In the south, Walkley will be getting bike lanes between the Transitway and Riverside Drive. Hog’s Back Road is getting the addition of a multi-use path from Prince of Wales Drive to Colonel By Drive and the Canada Post campus at Brookfield Road. • Transit links: Routes that connect residential areas – mostly in the east end – to transit stations that are within a seven- to 15-minute bike ride.

In the rural area, a project to pave shoulders of roads is intended to boost safer cycling. Specific roads are not identified.

PEDESTRIAN

In addition to three pedestriancycling bridges in the core, the plan contains a number of expansions or

extensions for sidewalks and pathways.

Pleasant Park Road will get sidewalk improvements for much of its length. In Barrhaven, Tartan and Sherway drives will get sidewalks, as well as a number of smaller sections of sidewalk scattered throughout neighbourhoods in the south end.

Pedestrian projects across the city account for $26 million over the course of the plan.

NEXT STEPS

The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15.

Council has the final say on Nov. 26.

Remaining public information sessions include: • Oct. 17 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Kanata Recreation Complex, 100 Walter Baker Pl. • Oct. 22 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Walter Baker Sports Centre second floor food court, 100 Malvern Dr., Barrhaven • Oct. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, 1490 Youville Dr., OrlÊans.

City to extend rail to all corners of Ottawa laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Extending light rail to OrlĂŠans, Bayshore and Bowesville by 2023 is the future of transportation in Ottawa, says Mayor Jim Watson.

In a speech outlining the transit portion of the new transportation master plan, Watson said extending rail to each end of the city with 35 kilometres of new rail and 19 new stations will cost $2.5 billion.

The extensions will get done in tandem, much earlier than the city’s original projection of 2031 and will help all areas of the city capitalize on the benefits of the Confederation Line downtown, Watson said. “We could go slowly and build each segment of the network over a protracted period of time, suffering wasteful and disruptive conversions along the way,� he said. “Or we can move ahead and use public transit to help define how we grow.�

Funding from the federal and provincial governments will be needed, the mayor said.

Having a clear plan that outlines the cost-sharing needed will ensure success, Watson said.

The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15.

Council has the final say on Nov. 26.

SOUTH

The city is looking to build a $100 million extension of the O-Train line to Bowesville.

The expansion will include five new stations at Gladstone, Walkley, South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville with park-and-ride lots at the south end of the system to make it accessible to Riverside South commuters and residents from the rural area.

That’s in addition to $59 million the city is already spending to double the existing O-Train tracks to provide more frequent service.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun.

Steve Desroches said the extension moves south-end communities forward after the cancellation of the city’s previous north-south light rail plan under the previous council.

Converting the heavy rail of the O-Train line to light rail to match the rest of the system could be considered in the future, Desroches said.

A rail spur to the airport was deemed too costly and of less benefit than providing light-rail transit to commuters, but the city does plan to expand the Airport Parkway to add carpool and taxi lanes from Brookfield to Hunt Club.

The expanded transit system would also come with a price tag of $500 million for new trains and expanded storage facilities.

WEST

Light rail will be extended as far west as the expanded Bayshore Shopping Centre, with a southwest spur to Baseline Station and Algonquin College.

From Lincoln Fields, the line will split off towards Bayshore south of Woodroffe High School. The Connaught tunnel will be expanded past the existing Pinecrest bus garage and then skirt the Roman Avenue area to run on the city’s right-of-way north of the Queensway before stopping at a new Queensview Station. The Bayshore rail extension would cost $400 million.

A new pedestrian bridge over Highway 417 will connect the Pinecrest Shopping Centre and Ikea to light rail. The line will continue with another stop west of Pinecrest before ending at Bayshore.

Transit past Bayshore will continue with a new bus Transitway extension from March Road to Terry Fox Drive. “It means that people in Kanata will no longer be in mixed traffic on the Queensway at that location, which will make the travel a lot bet-

ter,� said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “There has been no good transit to the west, which is why there are fewer people using it.�

While rail is coming all the way to OrlÊans, Kanata will get dedicated busways first instead of LRT. Wilkinson said she would have preferred to see rail extended east and west inside the Greenbelt first before deciding which direction to cross over the Greenbelt – probably a decade from now.

The plan also includes a southwest rail extension from Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline at a cost of $980 million.

Connecting the college to the city’s other post-secondary institutions that are already on the light rail line – the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and La CitĂŠ collĂŠgiale – will create “an education powerhouse in the capital,â€? Watson said.

of light rail east to Place d’OrlĂŠans will make that difference.â€? “We’ve always said we needed it sooner than later,â€? said OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he had a suspicion that rail to OrlĂŠans would be part of the announcement, given the hoopla the mayor made over the speech. “He doesn’t give big speeches very often and he’s often been criticized for not having a lot of vision and I think today has really changed that,â€? Blais said. “We have a three-pronged approach: more people working in OrlĂŠans, a wider highway and a train,â€?

Blais said. “Commute times are going to go down.�

Rail will be a “game changer� for

R POPULA Y B K C A B

because it will provide a convenient way for people to get to OrlĂŠans and therefore encourage the development of unused employment lands along the 174 corridor.

Blais and Monette are convinced the train will not only make it easier for commuters to head downtown, but also for people in the core and west end to come east to OrlĂŠans.

Extending light rail to OrlĂŠans is expected to cost $500 million.

The announcement is a double win for the east end because it means bus Transitway lanes on Ottawa Road 174 will be freed up and likely converted as new lanes for traffic, Blais said.

The mayor said a study will consider converting those lanes for use by carpoolers.

The big winner in the mayor’s LRT announcement was OrlÊans, which will get four new stations: St. Joseph, Jeanne D’Arc, OrlÊans Drive, and Place d’ OrlÊans.

When completed by 2023, the 90 per cent of OrlĂŠans residents will live within five kilometres of the rapidtransit line, Watson said. “We want to work with the Government of Canada to locate jobs in the east and to attract employers there to support balanced growth,â€?

Arts bursaries keep Greely Players alumni afloat Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The motivational boost that comes with a Greely Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bursary is worth much more than the $1,000 that arrives in the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bank accounts, says one recipient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like my whole theatre company is pushing me now to do well,â&#x20AC;? said Troy Arsenian, a Greely Players

alumnus.

Along with Arsenian, Peter Klaassen and Carolyn Farnand have all entered their first year of university with an extra thousand dollars in their bank account.

The Greely Players community theatre group hands out bursaries every year to members entering a post-secondary performing arts program at a college or university.

Arsenian first joined the

Greely Players as a member of the orchestra pit in 2010, for the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Cinderella. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher who ran the pit asked me to join and I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because it sounded like fun, and then I fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly it feels like a big family, I love being around everyone there.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great to be there.â&#x20AC;?

This fall, the 19-year-old Arsenian started his double major in English and theatre at the University of Ottawa, and

hopes to go into education.

During his time at the Canterbury Arts High School, Arsenian received extensive musical training including trumpet and French horn. He then studied baritone, baritone saxophone and vocal music at Sir Wilfred Laurier High School.

He has played in the orchestra pit for three Greely Players shows, and appeared on stage as a Winkie, tree and polisher for the 2013 production of The Wizard of Oz. Troy

was also a Cappies critic on the Sir Wilfred Laurier team.

Peter Klaassen, a graduate of Canterbury Arts High School, has been accepted into the University of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music performance program as a double bass player.

He has been an active musician around Ottawa, playing with the Ottawa Youth Orchestra, the public school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Star Jazz Band and the Junior Thirteen Strings. Peter has studied with well-known Ottawa bassist John Geggie

and has taught bass guitar to aspiring adult musicians. He played in the orchestra pit for two of the Greely Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; productions.

The third recipient is also a Canterbury Arts graduate.

Carolyn Farnand will join Klaassen in the University of Toronto music performance program as a violist.

Over the years she has competed in numerous Kiwanis Music Festivals and has played with the Ottawa Chamber Orchestra.

She was the principal violist with the Ottawa Youth Orchestra and has been a member of the Junior Thirteen Strings. Carolyn played for three Greely Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows under the direction of Greely resident and Canterbury teacher John Pohran.

Every year, when funds permit, members of The Greely Players are invited to apply for a bursary fund for students entering a post-secondary performing arts program at a college or university. Due to the success of The Greely Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; March 2013 production of The Wizard of Oz, they were able to award three $1,000 bursaries.

Past president Anne Peterson said the bursaries have increased to match rising tuition costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to increase the amount of the bursaries last year as the cost of postsecondary education is so expensive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One year we gave out five bursaries of $500, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to cut down on the number awarded and increase the amount of the award.â&#x20AC;?

That couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more welcome for Arsenian, who uses the Ontario Student Assistance Program to fund his studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping me significantly because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay back to the government,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Since 1998, The Greely Players have supported the performing arts by awarding bursaries to 41 students.

These three words can be the difference between life and death for someone going through a bad time, according to Scott Heggart, a 20-year-old University of Ottawa student.

Heggart spoke to about 100 intermediate students at Metcalfe Public School on Oct. 8 during the kickoff presentation of Stuntman Stu Schwartzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No More Bullies campaign. The tour, now in its third year, aims to visit every school in the region to spread a message of love and acceptance.

As a teenager, Heggart was an all-round athlete, playing almost every sport available. But he struggled to reconcile the anti-gay slurs he heard everyday in the locker room with his own homosexuality, and it was years before he could come out to his teammates.

But when he did reveal his orientation, the love and support he received from his team, friends and family made all the difference, he said.

He encouraged the students gathered in Metcalfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gym to offer the same unconditional support to their friends when they are struggling.

Heggart was one of several guest speakers who addressed the students during the presentation, which included several videos, a digital interview with Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who lost his son Jamie to suicide in 2011 - and a visit from CapCity rapper Peter Joynt.

Joynt has had a stutter his entire life, and as he spoke to the students he offered a living example of how someone can become a success despite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or because of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their individuality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My entire philosophy is being positive,â&#x20AC;? Joynt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at what you have, not what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have.

When you put the positive vibes out there, you get them back.â&#x20AC;?

ingly happens at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape with social media being so prevalent,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that the bullying model has flipped in the wake of the Internet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the problem is at home and filters into the school, instead of starting at school.â&#x20AC;?

Schwartz shared a message of hope with the students. He was bullied in high school for two years until he got fed up and reported it to the principal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; despite the overwhelming fear that telling someone would make it worse. But to Schwartzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprise, telling someone was the best thing he could do.

After the bully was confronted, the teasing stopped and Schwartz was finally able to enjoy going to school.

His main message to the students that day was that telling someone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about being bullied is the best solution to end the torment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If something is bothering you, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to let someone know around you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always someone there to help.â&#x20AC;?

EDITORIAL

New plan has rail on right track

F

ollowing the release of a draft Transportation Master Plan, councillors and staff at city hall should be applauded for presenting an ambitious vision for Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public transit

future.

While the document also offers prescriptions for things such as pedestrian, cycling and motor vehicle mobility, it is the plans to bring rail transit to the east, west and south of the city eight years ahead of the schedule that is cause for excitement.

The project will, according to the draft document, be constructed at a cost of roughly $2.5 billion, and for the most part will help address many of the traffic issues plaguing the city currently.

By taking light rail east to OrlĂŠans, the large commuter base there will have an efficient, compelling alternative to joining the line ups on highway 174 each day. By reaching south, the extension of the O-Train line will make amends for older, scrapped plans to extend rail to the burgeoning community of Riverside South and beyond. To the west, the major west-end shopping nodes and the Algonquin College campus will be tied into the Confederation Line, on which tunnelling began last week.

All in all, it is much more than many might have expected after the last light rail saga. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

mean, however, that there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a few question marks about the plans, perhaps things that might be addressed before the final plan is brought before council.

First, and most glaring, is why rail isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going west to Kanata. Kanata, like OrlĂŠans, has a significant community of people who commute downtown.

Unlike OrlĂŠans, Kanata also has a significant employment base, meaning while some hop on a bus to go downtown, others are heading to Kanata for work each day. That means buses are full in both directions, as trains would be, if city hall saw fit.

A link to the airport is also a glaring omission. As the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest transportation hub, it only makes sense to link it to the rest of the transportation network. The official response is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the added expense, but this may appear short sighted as the city grows in the years ahead.

Another is the dependence on funding from other levels of government. Hopefully when the time comes this is not a problem, but the hoping for the best from Parliament Hill and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park is not necessarily the most firm foundation for any plan.

The city should hope other levels of government donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t derail what is otherwise a good plan for Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit future.

COLUMN

The perfect monument for a half-built city

O

ut along the airport parkway this â&#x20AC;Ś Thing hangs over the road.

It is a well publicized Thing and so much has been written and spoken about it that people can almost figure out what it is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of an overpass, bridge kind of Thing, with a kind of tower arrangement at one end. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about half built, maybe a bit less than that.

At one point it was imagined that people would use the Thing to get from Hunt Club Road to South Keys, and vice versa. Now nobody knows what to do with it. Construction companies and engineering firms have come and gone since the building of the Thing began. There have been third-party reviews, whatever they are.

Meanwhile, the Thing sits there and no work is being done on it.

Understandably, people are wondering what should be done. They could rip it down.

Or they could start from scratch. Or they could get another review.

But none of those things would be right.

Here is what should be done about the Thing beside the airport parkway: nothing. Let it sit there as a reminder of what kind of city we have here, a monument, as it were, to the decision-making process.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town About 25 years ago, when the first of several new airports was being constructed just down the road from the uncompleted Thing, there was a period of slight chaos in which deplaning passengers had to walk across the tarmac and dodge their way around various bits of construction on their way into the half-completed terminal building. Arriving at the terminal, they were greeted by a sign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? it said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry for the inconvenience.â&#x20AC;?

What could have been a more perfect introduction to our city? Sadly, the terminal was completed, eventually to be replaced by another still grander one, and the sign disappeared. A good guess is that Public Works has it, in the certainty that it will be necessary again.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, October 17, 2013

Too bad about the sign, but now we have the uncompleted Thing hanging over the road to stand as a symbolic welcome to the kind of town we are.

And what kind of town is that? It is the kind of town where people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make up their minds. Should they keep on building it or tear it down. Or should they think about it some more. Or maybe get another third-party review. Maybe even a fourth-party review.

There may not be such a thing as a fourthparty review, but if it does exist this would be the place to find it.

You might find it at LeBreton Flats, a multi-acre monument to indecision.

Of course, Ottawa is more than a town in which people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make up their minds.

It is also a town in which somebody else changes your mind for you once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it up.

Take, for example, another parkway, the one that used to be called the Western Parkway and is now named after Sir John A. The city government made up its mind that light rail would go nicely along the western section of the parkway.

That was fine until the National Capital Commission unmade up the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind.

So now light rail will twist and turn and go

through neighbourhoods and into tunnels, all because there were too many minds to make up.

There should be a monument to this sort of thing, because it is truly unique to us. The place to build the monument is right beside the Sir John A. parkway.

And the thing to build is a statue of a light rail train, the only one ever to use the parkway. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that be perfect? Mind you, it would only be appropriate if it was half-finished.

Can we get started on it right away? Or, as soon as it has been properly studied.

Minto sweeps in with curling club sponsorship Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The lounge at the Manotick Curling Centre will now be known as the Mahogany Lounge thanks to a sponsorship agreement signed Friday, Oct. 4 between the curling center and the developer.

Minto Communities agreed to donate $10,000 to the club over the span of four years to help finance some much needed overhauls in the lounge, kitchen and bar areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lounge is old and dated,â&#x20AC;? said club president Karl Jenson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the money is going. It requires a facelift.â&#x20AC;?

The first $2,500 payment arrived in early October, just in time for the 2013-14 curling season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very good news for the club,â&#x20AC;? said Jensen, who noted that the updated lounge will make the whole building more appealing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be able to possibly do more rentals, and it will be nicer for the members at our own events.â&#x20AC;?

The curling centre off South River Drive in Manotick is in the middle of a major fundraising campaign to upgrade everything from the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-year-old roof to its aging kitchen appliances.

Beginning in early spring, the curling club has been fundraising to replace its roof, which was badly leaking.

But in the process of looking into a new roof, the fundraising committee decided to work on a number of

other upgrades as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were going to start this we might as well get a whole bunch of things done,â&#x20AC;? Jenson said.

Project RAISE (Renovation And Improvement Strategy for Enhancing Structure) is now leading a multiyear campaign to make the club more efficient, comfortable and environmentally sound through a series of renovations.

Already, the roof has been replaced and insulation has been added, allowing the curling club to enjoy longer seasons with lower utility costs.

The RAISE committee also plans to replace the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s siding, insulate the walls, install a new septic system and upgrade the flooring.

Since spring was too late in the season to apply for grants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the roof needed to be replaced immediately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the committee started canvassing local businesses for sponsorships and support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Committee leader Roz Kee) reached out to a lot of the businesses in the area and Minto came through for us,â&#x20AC;? Jenson said.

The total cost of the roof was just over $110,000, he said, and the curling club hopes to raise about $300,000 for all of its renovations by 2015.

The Manotick Curling Center was built as a three-sheet facility in 1965.

Curlers as young as seven and as old as 85 call it home, but it is also a familiar spot for community events, local fundraisers and wedding receptions.

Chili sauce was worth trip from Ottawa

T

he air in the kitchen hung heavy with the sweet smell of chili sauce.

The blue pot simmered on the back of the Findlay Oval and every few minutes Mother would take the big wooden spoon and stir it, sending out more smells.

Jars of every size had already been boiled and were now upside down on a clean flour bag tea towel spread out on the bake table.

Hopefully, by supper time, the chili sauce would be ready to be put in jars and there would be an ample supply left over to slather on our plates. Father would put chili sauce on his pie if Mother would let him. He thought no meal was complete without it.

When it had all been bottled, it was my sister Audrey’s job to carry the jars outside and down to the dugout under the house, which served as our cellar.

Swinging shelves were to ensure the mice or any other vermin looking for a dark warm home would be

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories unable to get at the preserves.

Mother lined the shelves with folded copies of the Renfrew Mercury for further protection. Before Grandfather bought Mother a Barnett ice box, even our butter and milk were kept on the swinging shelves.

And so the many bottles of chili sauce would soon join the newly jarred preserves and pickles Mother had made from an ample garden.

If we liked chili sauce, we had an uncle who liked it even more so. Uncle Johnny DeGray lived in Ottawa, but he and Aunt Vanetta often drove out to Northcote, a trip Father said would be the last for the old car that seemed to be hung together with binder twine and hairpins.

When Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta came to visit, it was always an overnight trip from Ottawa. The couple was as different as night from day.

Aunt Vanetta was tiny with snow white hair, and dressed as neat as a pin, and Uncle Johnny was tall and lanky, with a shiny pink head, completely devoid of hair, except for a small fringe around the back of his neck. He was boisterous and loud and when he laughed, which was often, you had to laugh with him, even if you didn’t know what the joke was about.

How he loved to eat when he came to the farm. He would go to the smoke house and personally pick the roast of ham or the long link of sausages he would like for a

meal, which Mother thought was perfectly alright with her.

She cooked up whatever he chose and of course the table was laden with heaping bowls of potatoes, vegetables and plates of freshly-baked bread.

Without even asking, Mother knew that Uncle Johnny would scan the table and if it wasn’t already there, he would say, “don’t forget the chili sauce, Mabel.”

Uncle Johnny didn’t believe much in saying grace, even though Aunt Vanetta was a devout Catholic, never missing mass, and carrying her rosary beads in her pocket

wherever she went, but at our table grace was mandatory.

I confess that during grace, when Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta were visiting, I kept my eyes open and on Uncle Johnny and he kept his eyes on the bowl of chili sauce.

He would load his plate like it was his last meal on earth and then he would reach for the chili sauce, just about emptying the bowl.

If that wasn’t enough, when his plate had been wiped clean, he would lay out two slices of heavily buttered bread, and cover them with more chili sauce wiping the bowl clean with a corner of the bread.

When it was time for Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta to head back to Ottawa,

Mother would tuck into the back of the old car a couple of freshly plucked chickens, vegetables from the cellar, and always two or three jars of chili sauce.

Uncle Johnny would wrap the chili sauce jars tight so that they wouldn’t come to some bad fate on the way back to Ottawa. Heaven forbid that the jars would smash together and break and he would lose his precious cargo.

My older and wiser sister Audrey said she was quite sure he would rather see the chickens and vegetables toss out the car window, rather than Mother’s precious chili sauce. For Uncle Johnny, the chili sauce was worth the two day trip from Ottawa.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was going to do it no matter whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Osgoode athlete runs 100 km to end kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cancer after shattering arm posed to join the Good Guys Tri team to complete the ultra-marathon in support of CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was somewhat distraught that I had already started raising money and I had got commitments from family,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was almost like I was going to be letting these people down.â&#x20AC;?

Where some might take the opportunity to bow out of such a commitment, Roe was even more determined to finish the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds ridiculous but 100 km in the grand scheme of things is not that far in the realm of ultra running,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A hundred kilometres is quite doable and I was going to do it no matter what.â&#x20AC;?

Getting back into training was a slow and painful process. Before the accident he was running 30 km regularly. But several weeks after he left the hospital, he could barely finish a four-km route with his wife Heather.

His recovery and his training were directly linked, however. Embracing rehab and running together, he rapidly regained his strength. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recovered more quickly because I was doing this, and I was able to do this because I needed to recover,â&#x20AC;? he said.

By the end of September, Roe was ready to tackle the race that had seemed so daunting only a few

Sports - Many people will cling to any excuse to get out of their workout.

But Osgoode resident Peter Roe is not most people.

When a serious car accident shattered his left arm, elbow and shoulder last April, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think twice about continuing to train for the 100-kilometre Great Canadian Run for kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cancer that was only four months away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was never a thought that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When can I start running?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Roe signed up for the Oct. 5 run from Ottawa to Montebello, Que. in late winter.

He was a month-and-a-half into his training when he fell asleep at the wheel on Highway 416 and rolled his car into the centre ditch near the Roger Stevens exit.

He was in hospital for a week recovering from a broken forearm, shattered elbow, broken fingers and dislocated shoulder. He underwent multiple surgeries to pin his bones and joints back together, and still faces surgery on his wrist.

The doctors told him he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to start running again for four months â&#x20AC;&#x201C; exactly when he was sup-

Completing the race was no easy task for Roe, and it was also hard on his family members, who made many sacrifices while he trained.

Chores were left undone as he spent entire weekends completing multiple 50-km runs. Heather was increasingly called on to watch the kids and keep the house while Roe juggled a full-time job, two-hour commutes and regular physiotherapy appointments on top of an intense training schedule that was all the more involved because it was condensed into three months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally about sacrifices and making sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the same page,â&#x20AC;? Roe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heather had signed up for the Army Run and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to train for that, and when I got back into my training she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t train because the kids werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in school (for the summer).â&#x20AC;?

Basement renovations fell behind; the grass went uncut and the pool hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been closed for the winter.

But Heather said the chaos was worth the end result.

months before.

He said his coach, ultra runner Ray Zahab, is to thank for getting him to the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows running, he knows what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m capable of, what people are capable of, and he just put together a program to get me there. Whatever he said, I did,â&#x20AC;? Roe said.

On Oct. 5, Roe and his 22 teammates crossed the finish line after 13 hours of gruelling effort. Together, the team raised $101,000 for kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cancer.

SUBMITTED

Peter Roe ran 100 kilometres as part of the Great Canadian Run to end kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cancer on Oct. 5, only four months after a serious car accident shattered his left arm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big goal and we just had to get (him) through it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

On race day, Heather was by Roeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side for much of the race, running small legs of the journey to keep him company and get him through his darkest moments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hated the thought of him not running with somebody,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During his downs I just had to be there with him.â&#x20AC;?

For about 30 km, Roe suffered from severe nausea that he described as feeling hungover. It was the efforts of the entire Good Guys Tri support team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a stockpile of every possible remedy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that got him out of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;depths of despair,â&#x20AC;? as Heather called it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the race certain thoughts came into my mind about, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey there would be no shame if I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to finish it. You were in a car accident,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Roe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then you sort of snap

out of it because there are no excuses.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what your reason is, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish.â&#x20AC;?

Roe said the key to achieving something his doctors said would be virtually impossible is creating lofty goals and then working towards them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about setting your goals high enough that you think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not achievable, and then taking small steps every day to achieve that goal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in three weeks, you think about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing today.

And you achieve todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal.â&#x20AC;?

And if you need motivation, Roe said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better than ending kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic cause,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine something happening to our kids. So if I could do one small thing to help out for such a good charitable cause, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to do that.â&#x20AC;?

Keeping us connected with everything and everyone, our ability to hear is priceless. Unfortunately, one in ten of us suffer from hearing loss. If ignored, even the slightest hearing loss has signiďŹ cant consequences. You become disconnected from your world as loved ones become mumblers and asking to repeat becomes a nuisance.

Your safety and independence is compromised. You risk misdiagnoses and diminishing cognitive abilities. Indeed, untreated or improperly treated hearing loss has a pronounced negative impact on your quality of life. Consulting the appropriate hearing healthcare provider, in the most independent setting, is crucial.

Privately owned and operated by Doctor of Audiology Rosanne McNamee, Hearing Solutions Clinic adopts a unique and refreshing approach to patient care which differs drastically with that of retail settings, larger clinics and manufacturer owned chains. When you walk into Hearing Solutions Clinic, there are no crowded waiting rooms, commission staff or sales tactics. Rather, you will feel at home as you are greeted in an environment with old fashion roots where the focus is personalized hearing healthcare, not hearing aid sales. From your very ďŹ rst visit, you become part of a team working together to reach one goal: to meet your hearing needs. Hearing Solutions Clinic is large enough to offer amazing professional services and products, yet small enough to devote all the time necessary for uncompromised customized care. You will get top quality, integrity, and no shortcuts.

Based on past experiences at other hearing clinics, patients are often pleasantly surprised by not only the thoroughness, attentiveness and inclusiveness at Hearing Solutions Clinic, but also the product selection. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Our patients are our top priority. We will never limit their hearing device options as others doâ&#x20AC;? says Rosanne.â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;We remain

independent so that all makes and models may be sold and serviced.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This enables Hearing Solutions Clinic to better meet your unique hearing needs, and at a competitive price because Hearing Solutions Clinic doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the enormous overhead of larger clinics nor does it have investors to please.

Rosanne further distinguishes herself from the other clinics by solely hiring professionals that are regulated and hold the highest level of education in the hearing healthcare ďŹ eld. There are no Hearing Instrument Specialists at Hearing Solutions Clinic, only Audiologists who are diligent at keeping the clinic up-to-date in technology and practice. They are qualiďŹ ed to service both children and adults, whether they are private pay or third party supported (WSIB, DVA, ACSD, etc). In addition, Rosanne protects the special quality of her clinic by ensuring that all employees share the core values, beliefs and principles that created Hearing Solutions Clinic over a decade ago. Consequently, you receive the service of professionals who are not only top in their ďŹ eld, but who pride themselves on offering quality products and the highest standard of care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hearing is complex and so are todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing aids,â&#x20AC;? Rosanne explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dealing with the most qualiďŹ ed health care professional, in the most independent setting, is crucial.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; At Hearing Solutions Clinic you will never worry whether or not you have chosen the best place to trust with your hearing needs.

So, if you believe in your right to the best, fullest and most customized service available, book your consultation with an Audiologist at Hearing Solutions Clinic. There are two convenient locations to serve you. Parking is free! Home visits optional.

Earn Extra Money! Keep it to 40 km/h: Manotick Keep Your Weekends Free!

“We want to be able to walk in our own village without

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – A new campaign hopes to reduce speeding and increase safety across Manotick village.

The Manotick Village and Community Association is looking for volunteers to help kick start a campaign that would keep drivers going 40 kilometres per hour on all residential streets.

President Klaus Beltzner, who also heads the association’s transportation files, said many drivers think going 10 or 15 kilometres over the speed limit is ok – but going 55 km/h near a school could get a child killed.

It has to be a real campaign, not a sporadic thing. We’re willing to put some money into this.

KLAUS BELTZNER, MVCA PRESIDENT

having to fear being run over,” he said.

Beltzner said the campaign would likely set up street committees similar to Neighbourhood Watch to monitor speeds

in hot spots like Long Island Drive and Potter Road.

Bumper stickers are another possible element, and Beltzner would like to see some speed signs placed in the middle of roads like they’ve done in other parts of the city, including North Gower.

“It has to be a real campaign, not a sporadic thing.

We’re willing to put some money into this,” he said.

All streets inside Manotick’s village boundaries are 40 km/ h except for Manotick Main Street, Beltzner said.

Interested residents can contact president@manotickvca.org for more information and to volunteer on the transportation committee.

City puts a stop to Airport Parkway bridge work Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

includes the bridge, construction of an east-west pathway between the Hunt Club community and the south east transitway, as well as the Sawmill Creek constructed wetland pathway system.

City staff said they are

R0012323625_0926

News – The city has ordered a halt to construction on the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge after engineers raised concern

over design features.

The municipality fired Genivar, the bridge’s original contractor on Sept. 5, and subsequently hired Delcan to review the existing work and plan design modifications.

The $6.9-million project

concerned specifically about two parts of the bridge which could hinder its lifespan and maintenance.

Nancy Schepers, deputy city manager of planning and infrastructure, said it was her duty to put a stop to the work.

“I want to point out how important it is to finish this project, but it has to get to the highest quality standard and the highest safety standard,” said Schepers, who is also a professional engineer, during a press conference held on Oct. 4.

The city has hired an independent bridge engineering firm, Buckland and Taylor, to perform a third-party review of the project.

River ward Coun. Maria McRae said she felt the same frustration as her constituents over the two-year construction delay on the bridge, which was originally supposed to be built in 2011.

“The expectation was that this project would be completed, and to that end I have done everything I could do to keep updated about this project, and feel very supportive of our city staff in that

regard,” said McRae, before stating she asked for Schepers’ feedback about completing a third-party review.

“This is a really important project to our city,” said McRae. “Not only is it important for pedestrian connection and a cycling connection between thousands of residents who live in Hunt Club to access the southeast transitway, to access the wetland pathways, but there’s also access to a very large shopping plaza where people work.”

The city will seek to recover costs, including but not limited to those related to any delays, claims, design review changes, and construction qualifications.

CONSTRUCTION DELAYS

Genivar was awarded a contract to design the Airport Parkway bridge in 2010.

Construction started on July 6, 2011, and was supposed to finish on Oct. 31, 2011, but was extended to Nov. 28, due to concerns about the concrete.

“Nearly two years have passed since that time, and

during which the concrete of the lower portion of the main tower was poured, subsequently demolished, and repoured in October 2012,” said Schepers.

Other work for the project has been completed, including construction of the pathway and lighting, and general landscaping, as well as offsite work such as the bridge railings.

As construction progressed this summer, concerns were raised regarding the stay supporting system of the bridge and the constructability of the steel anchorage piece at the top of the tower.

“At that point, given the nature of the concerns that were raised, I was not prepared to move forward with these particular elements until I was satisfied that the concerns raised were either dismissed or, if validated, that they were corrected,” Schepers said.

Based on the concerns, Buckland and Taylor were called in to do a peer review at the end of August after Genivar refused to make any modifications.

Concerns raised over stay support, bridge railings Continued from page 18

McRae warned that as ward councillor, if she was not satisfied with the review, and if there was any information lacking in the document, she would pursue a review by the auditor general.

In the meantime, Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd. has temporarily suspended any work on site.

It is possible Bray will con-

tinue with the construction after the peer review is complete.

McRae said the third-party review will also shed light on how the city got to this point.

“Thank goodness for our city engineer that we are looking at this today instead of hearing about problems down the road. I would much rather that there would be another delay today to ensure we are not dealing with significant costs and delays in the future.”

Based on Buckland and Taylor’s recommendation, the city directed Genivar to initiate design modifications for the bridge.

The city reached an impasse with Genivar, and their services were terminated.

The city awarded a contract to Delcan to modify and assume full responsibility for the bridge design.

“Delcan is undertaking a thorough review of the design

and construction that has been done to date, and will identify the necessary design modifications to address the two specific issues that were raised,” said Schepers.

“In this process, they will also be validating the overall design to ensure functionality and maintenance with regards to the conditions under which the structure will be operating,” said Schepers. “It is my expectation that by the middle

of November, we will be in a position to report on the recommended path forward.”

At the request of the councillor, the city will be initiating an independent, comprehensive third-party review of the entire bridge project and its findings will be reported back to the mayor and council, as well as the finance and economic development committee.

“The scope of this review is currently being finalized and

will focus on identifying areas for improvement to prevent similar problems from reoccurring,” said Schepers.

“In the meantime, I continue to be concerned with the quality and timeliness of work related to this important project to date, and I have been working with the general manager of infrastructure services to identify immediate actions to ensure that this does not happen again.”

Undead unleash fury for CHEO Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Something is definitely off inside Funhaven’s newly built house of horrors.

An ill-used toilet overflows with sticky, red ooze; cockroaches scurry up the walls and the faint impressions of desperate, red handprints smudge the doorways.

Up ahead, someone

screams. Behind, the path is blocked. There is no way out but forward.

This is the warm welcome visitors can expect as they enter Fury of the Fallen, Funhaven’s revamped Halloween spectacle in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Previously called Chills for CHEO, the event has been reimagined and taken to a whole

new level of horror, according to Funhaven events planner Tiffany Talbot.

“We’ve moved from a kids’ haunt to full-on horror,” she said. “We want to do it at 100 per cent, so it’s the best that it can be.”

Best practices in the industry show that going all-out – making a haunted house as scary as humanly possible – is most effective, she added.

PET OF THE WEEK

Funhaven staff have raised the minimum age this year to 14, although younger kids can enter with their parents’ permission.

Talbot said the new event has a full narrative to go with the gimmicks, which makes the experience even spookier.

While she wouldn’t give too much away, she said the plot involves a girl who has gone missing. Visitors form search parties to enter the house where she was last seen.

Each room offers its own set of horrors. Sitting rooms, living rooms and nurseries may seem normal at first glance, but the dozens of actors who have volunteered to bring the house to life will quickly demonstrate otherwise.

A workshop exhibits the homeowner’s gruesome hobbies: grisly body parts dry along the rafters and fresh projects are laid out on the workbench.

Severed heads lash out at visitors and even the library’s seemingly innocent bookshelves offer no reprieve from the torture.

This is the first year that Funhaven has taken on the fundraiser instead of it being

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Creatures of the underworld will be out to scare at this year’s Fury of the Fallen haunted house in support of CHEO. The spooky spectacle is held at the Funhaven facility in the city’s west end. run separately by Funhaven owner Dave Ellis.

The event has been held at the west-end facility for the past three years, but it was never run as a business, Talbot said.

This year, 50 per cent of the ticket sales will be donated to the children’s hospital – regardless of whether the event makes money – while in previous years Ellis donated the net proceeds.

The event’s name change is meant to distance the haunted house from CHEO, so that all

liability lies with the event rather than the hospital. “(CHEO staff) don’t have any control over the haunt and what happens at the haunt,” Talbot said.

Funhaven is located at 1050 Baxter Rd. The haunted house is open Oct. 17 to 20 and Oct. 24 to Nov. 1 from 6 to 10 p.m.

Tickets are $10.

“I cannot wait to get the people in there,” Talbot said.

“It’s going to be awesome.”

And the undead can’t wait for their first victims to walk through the door.

Pet Adoptions

CHIEF ID# A159280

Meet Chief, a seven-year-old, neutered male, American foxhound who was brought to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray on Aug. 3. He’s now available for adoption.

Like a typical hound, he likes to get to know his environment by smelling around. He’s a social boy with an independent side, he loves to meet new people, but is content with taking a nap alone on his dog bed.

Chief would rather not be a couch potato. He’s not ready to slow down anytime soon, so he will need adequate physical and mental stimulation to keep his body and mind healthy!

Chief would love the opportunity to participate in obedience classes to learn all his commands.

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.

Shaggy, windblown hair falls over big black eyes. Finnie has a sweet and droll little voice. He chortles, utters tiny musical snorts and rumbles with joy on good sunny days. He loves to run, does mighty leaps and a clever little dance on his hind paws. This boy is a kisser, a love bug, a sharer of small chewed bones and favorite toys. With bright eyes and cocked head Finnigan applies himself to learning people talk - and I do believe he’s succeeeding! Never mind the fluffy stuffed toy look, our little guy is hardy. He is comfortable in snow, rain or in my bed on a warm duvet.

He only wants to be with you and make you enjoy life as he does every single day. Fun and endearing, Cotons are known as the antidepressant dogs!

saving medical care and made the right choice to surrender them to the OHS. Ultimately, these aren’t problem dogs – they were dogs with people problems.

Now they’re just waiting for the right adopter to pass by.

It’s important to note that choosing to adopt from the OHS isn’t only about giving a shelter dog a home; OHS dogs are frequently in high-demand so there’s no hard-sell needed. There are, however, tangible financial benefits to choosing an OHS dog. (It’s not just about the slobbery kisses!) Your OHS dog is: s SPAYED OR NEUTERED s MICROCHIPPED s MEDICALLY CHECKED

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

So, this October, if you’ve been thinking about adding a furry sidekick to your family, consider stopping by the 245 West Hunt Club Rd. facility to visit Dodger, Chief, Bronx, or one of the many other wonderful dogs at the OHS. You just might find that perfect canine match to help you celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Visit our website for more information at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Choosing to adopt a dog from the Ottawa Humane Society means different things to different people: a new family member, a best friend, running buddy, fellow couch potato.

But to the dog who’s going to a new forever home, it means the chance for a happy, comfortable and fulfilling life, thanks to you.

The OHS has many wonderful dogs, from purebred puppies to senior mixed breeds, who wound up in shelter through no fault of their own – maybe it was due a new baby or the move to an apartment that doesn’t allow pets.

For some, it happened when their previous owner couldn’t afford life-

Ecology Ottawa launches tree challenge Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

New initiative looks to plant thousands of trees before 2017 Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

National Team Player Rhian Wilkinson speech caps outstanding 2013 season for OSU Work harder than everyone else and your dreams can come true. That was the message Canadian women’s national team player Rhian Wilkinson gave the next generation of stars-in-the-making at Ottawa South United Soccer Club’s year-end banquet. The 31-year-old shared the story of her path to an Olympic medal, which included getting cut the first time she tried out for a ‘AAA’ soccer team when she was young. “It was the first day I realized I was pretty competitive,” Wilkinson told the audience of almost 500 at the Centurion Conference & Event Center. “There was no way I was going to allow that coach to have the last say in my soccer career.” The Montreal native did make the ‘AAA’ team the next year, but still had several more hurdles to clear before representing Canada. Wilkinson was invited to youth national team camps, but never made the grade. The former University of Tennessee student at last made her international debut against the powerful U.S. team, chasing around Mia Hamm and co. in a 6-2 drubbing. In the years that followed, the Canadians narrowed the gap, and very nearly beat the Americans in the London 2012 Olympic semi-final, which included some infamous officiating. “It really was one of the worst days of my life,” Wilkinson described. “We cried, as a team, everyone on their own, for 24 hours.” Before the bronze medal match the next day, captain Christine Sinclair told her teammates how proud she was of their efforts, reminded them they’d given everything they had, and that there was still an opportunity to win bronze. “We had absolutely nothing left emotionally and physically, but we were fighting for one another,”Wilkinson said of the third-place contest. “France was better than us, but they did not work harder than us.”

And then in the 92nd minute, the reward for those efforts came with Diana Matheson’s goal and a 1-0 Canadian victory. “Now I’m the proud owner of the Olympic bronze medal,” smiled Wilkinson, displaying her prize to a lengthy round of applause and cheers. “I still have to pinch myself... I can’t believe my dream came true.”The Team Canada idol left her young onlookers with one main piece of advice. “Find your passion,” implored Wilkinson, who’s now set her sights on the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, to be played on home soil. “For some of you here, it may be soccer. For others, it may be nursing. Or it could be accounting – to each their own,” she added. “Whatever it is, find your passion. Because whatever it is, it’s going to require a lot of hard work. That’s the key.”

Accomplishments abound at OSU banquet Wilkinson was the keynote speaker at the banquet marking the end of OSU’s 10th anniversary season. It was an ideal way to set the stage for the next 10 years as the club continues to push to new and greater heights, highlighted OSU President Bill Michalopulos. “The next great achievement would be for one of our boys or girls to be part of Canada’s national team,” Michalopulos signaled. “I’ll predict that we’ll achieve that in the next 10 years, no problem.” It may not take nearly that long. OSU U15 girls’ player Alexis Martel-Lamothe participated in a national prospects camp from Aug. 23-Sept. 1 in Burnaby, B.C., and is part of the selection pool for the Canadian U17 team that will play in October’s CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship in Jamaica.

Martel-Lamothe was just one of the individuals recognized in what was an outstanding 2013 season for OSU. Other highlights included five OSU gold medal-winning players at the national all-star championships, and winning the Ottawa region’s first Ontario Cup girls’ and Ontario Youth Soccer League boys’ championships. “It’s a club with tremendous passion and tremendous vision,” observed Ontario Soccer Association President Ron Smale, another distinguished guest at the banquet along with Osgoode Ward City Councillor Doug Thompson. “If each of us embrace it, we’ll take this game to the next level.” OSU also saluted its numerous league-champion teams, players moving on to professional academies and university soccer, and presented awards to volunteers, referees, players and teams (see below for more details).

The list of accomplishments is long and deserves to be celebrated, but there’s a greater purpose behind the drive to be successful, much like Wilkinson’s journey to the top, Michalopulos noted. “It acts as motivation for our young girls and boys to maximize their abilities and potential in soccer,” he explained, thanking the many people involved for their tireless efforts. “That’s why we’re doing it, the #1 reason.”

News - A new initiative launched

by Ecology Ottawa aims to combat dying city trees by asking Ottawans to plant thousands in their place.

Tree Ottawa is a community-based project which asks residents, private companies and organizations to help protect the city’s tree canopy by planting, protecting and promoting trees in their neighbourhoods. Over the next three to five years, Ottawa is expected to lose about 25 per cent of its tree canopy because thanks to the destruction caused by the emerald ash borer. This initiative is to take a proactive approach to keeping the city’s canopy strong.

“We want every residence of the city to plant one tree in the next five years,” said Chris Henderson, an Ottawa businessman and Tree Ottawa supporter. “By 2017, in time for Ottawa to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we’ll have one million trees planted.”

Henderson said he attended an event recently where he managed to get 49 individuals to sign up for the cause.

Ecology Ottawa officially launched the project at Bingham Park in Lowertown by planting an American basswood tree.

Graham Saul, executive director of Ecology Ottawa, said this tree is but one of the many he hopes residents will plant over the next four years.

Diana Beresford-Kroeger, an author, botanist and tree expert, and Sarah Harmer, activist and Juno Award-winning musician, helped plant the tree.

“I am a tree hugger from way back,” Harmer said. “I am happy to be a part of this initiative.”

Beresford-Kroeger told the small crowd who gathered to help plant the tree how important trees are to an urban landscape. She added she was pleased with the choice of tree being planted and for the program itself.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury also attended the event.

“We can not underestimate the importance of our trees,” he said.

Henderson and Saul both said the core strength of this initiative comes from neighbourhood participation.

“This is the first tree of what we hope will be thousands,” Saul said.

He further explained the program is inclusive for anyone interested in

FOOD

Connected to your community

• 1 large carrot, sliced • 500 ml (2 cups) chopped broccoli • 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped • 1 red onion, thinly sliced • 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) sliced mushrooms, such as white button, cremini or shiitake

Enjoy a taste of Korea Lifestyle - This classic Korean comfort food uses the thinnest slices of marinated beef for flash-in-the pan stirfry with crisp, vibrantly coloured veggies. Just be careful to keep the meat tender by cooking to medium doneness.

Serve with rice, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds if

desired. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Marinating time: four hours or up to overnight.

Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 750 g (1-1/2 lb) beef flank marinating steak • 25 ml (2 tbsp) rice vinegar

• 2 green onions, thinly sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 50 ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce • 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely minced fresh gingerroot • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil • 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch • 15 ml (1 tbsp) dark brown sugar • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil

PREPARATION

Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into thin, angled slices and set them aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, green

onions, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and sesame seed oil.

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and brown sugar and then blend it evenly into the soy mixture. Toss the beef slices with the marinade to coat evenly. Refrigerate the beef for at least four hours or, preferably, overnight.

In a large, heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and distributing it in the pan in single layer (or cook it in two batches to avoid

crowding). Turn the heat up to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for two to three minutes or until it is beginning to brown. Remove the meat and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook the carrot, broccoli, red pepper, red onion and mushrooms for five minutes, stirring constantly, or until the vegetables are slightly softened. Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the skillet and stir over heat to combine Foodland Ontario
