A toxicology screen has pinpointed MDMA or ecstasy as the substance ingested by a 20-year-old Ottawa woman at a rave in the city between June 29 and July 1.
Ottawa woman recovering after consuming rave drug Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Ecstasy has been confirmed as the drug taken by a 20year-old Ottawa woman who was put in an induced coma after she suffered liver problems as a result of the illicit narcotic. The woman, who is now awake and recovering in hospital, and a 19-year-old female from outside the city, consumed drugs at separate rave events in the city between June 29 and July 1. Toxicology testing on the 20year-old has come back positive for methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy, which
is an illegal synthetic drug. While investigators initially said at the outset of the case that they suspected the deceased 19-year-old likely also took ecstasy, they are now saying it will be three to six months before toxicology testing will provide answers. Foul play is not suspected in either case, but police are continuing to look into both incidents. Investigators are remaining tightlipped about the women’s identities and where the drugs were consumed. Anyone with information on either case can call the Ottawa police central district investigations team at 613-236-1222, ext. 5166.

‘I was scared this guy was going to go free forever:’ father of victim Continued from page 1
Toronto police arrested Devontay Hackett, an 18-year-old St. Pius X Catholic High School student, in Toronto on July 11 at 2:30 p.m. Ottawa police remain tight-lipped about how the arrest unfolded and in which part of the city he was apprehended due to investigative reasons. “Toronto police … actually positively identified him while doing their work, just patrol and stuff,” confirmed Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit. The suspect had had been on the run for more than a month since Volpi died of stab wounds on June 7. Ottawa police major crime investigators planned to question the suspect prior to his first court appearance on Saturday, July 12. He faces one count of second-degree murder and is scheduled to next appear in an Ottawa court by video on Monday, July 21. He remains in custody at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. Danny Volpi was at Bare Fax, a downtown strip club where he is a manager, when he got the call he’d been waiting for from an Ottawa police detective just after 4 p.m. the day of the arrest. “As soon as he called I had this feeling (and) goose bumps on my arms and when he told me the news that they’d caught Devontay in Toronto, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, thank you so much.’” “It was overwhelming,” he said. “I was scared the guy was going to go for free forever.” The first person Volpi called to relay the news was his mother, who also was thankful that her prayers had been answered. Volpi had been in the process of helping to plan a barbecue to raise money for a reward that would entice someone to come forward with information on Hackett’s whereabouts. Barbecue organizers had planned to meet Saturday, July 12, to formulate plans. Instead, Volpi found himself breathing a sigh of relief. Even with the suspect’s arrest, Volpi said it doesn’t change the fact that his son – his only child – is gone. “It doesn’t bring my son back. Regardless, it hurts,” he said. “He was a great kid. I miss him so much.” “There’s a relief that justice has been served and now I can move on and stay strong and one day we’ll be there, one day we’ll meet him,” said Volpi, who plans to attend each day of the murder trial where he hopes to get the answers he’s been seeking for

Devontay Hackett was arrested by Toronto police in that city on July 11. The 18-year-old faces one count of second-degree murder for the stabbing death of south Ottawa teen Brandon Volpi on June 7 in downtown Ottawa. The suspect is next scheduled to appear in an Ottawa court on July 21. more than a month. Investigators have said that two large groups of people were outside Les Suites Hotel at 130 Besserer St. on Saturday, June 7, when Brandon was stabbed. Police were called at 3:35 a.m. Brandon’s classmates had heard the teen, whom many regarded as a gentle giant and a big brother to many, had been asked by a friend to walk him back to the hotel out of safety concerns. Students from St. Patrick’s and St. Pius X high schools had planned to stay at the hotel that night following prom celebrations. Major crime investigators are looking into the possibility that alcohol was a factor in the tragedy that unfolded. “I’d like to see the cameras, the video surveillance of the street, the hotel,” said Volpi, adding that while the experience would be painful, he needs answers. In the aftermath of the tragedy, he has thrown himself into work to keep busy. “It’s been difficult, but there’s a lot
of support from friends and family,” he said. Ottawa major crime investigators, who have been leading the murder case, were equally jubilant over the recent arrest, made possible based on photos and information relayed in a Canada-wide arrest warrant that was issued by Ottawa police on June 10. “As soon as the news came in (they) were very happy,” said Benoit. In the weeks following the homicide, Ottawa police suspected at one point that Hackett was still in Ottawa, but did not have concrete information on his whereabouts. “We have knowledge through all crimes that either occur in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto, a lot of people hide or go to other cities which are close by,” Benoit said. “You’re always going to see either criminals or persons of interest go to these neighbouring cities because they’re easy to hide (in). “That’s why the Canada-wide warrant was pushed out because they had knowledge and there was possibilities that he’d be going outside of Ottawa,” he said.

Health centre checks pulse of Herongate out to the diversity of who lives here,� said Kelli Tonner, director of community services for the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, who is overseeing the project. “The concerns of seniors might be different than the concerns of young parents. I don’t know. We have to ask. But we are looking to speak to those groups.� The initiative is being funded with a $9,100 grant from Crime Prevention Ottawa. “Not that the area is the worst in Ottawa by any means, but it is an area in Ottawa that we had some concerns about in which there is not currently a collaborative crime-prevention approach,� said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, a local municipal board that brings together organizations, including the United Way, Ottawa police and school boards, among other partners, to promote community safety and deter crime.

Project to engage residents to create change, improve COMMUNITY news neighbourhood health Story continued from page 6
It’s the first time the study will be conducted in Herongate, and it is expected to result in a report on Sept. 12 that will identify needs, concerns and opportunities, resources, service gaps, a list of solution-driven initiatives that residents will have identified and prioritized, and allow agencies to capitalize on what is working. “So it really is much more of a mapping exercise than it is simply doing focus groups,” said Leslie McDiarmid, executive director of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. Herongate came on the radar more than a year ago. “That’s a community where we have not seen a lot of concerted effort. It’s a community where – and I think that the police spoke to it (at a Herongate community safety meeting on July 3) – crime is not up per say, however there have been a few acute incidents over a fairly short period of time,” she said, adding the community has seen a lot of change in recent years, including a new housing landlord in the largely rental area.
“You really need to know what’s really happening. It’s not useful to reinvent the wheel; it’s not useful to respond to one perception or one incident.” NANCY WORSFOLD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CRIME PREVENTION OTTAWA
A similar initiative was first launched nine years ago in the formerly troubled neigbourhood of Banff-Ledbury. Since then, the No Communities Left Behind steering committee of more than 20 agencies has been working there to help residents make the changes they wanted under what has since become a citywide community development framework that is about building safe and healthy neighbourhoods. “You really need to know what’s really happening,” Worsfold said. “It’s not useful to reinvent the wheel; it’s not useful to respond to one perception or one incident.” For instance, some residents at a recent community safety meeting that was held in Herongate following a daring gun battle there on June 17 said they have seen drugs being bought and sold on their streets. “I would suspect ... that there is a drug issue because it is my experience and observation that community disturbance, violence and so on is often related to the presence of drug trafficking,” Worsfold said. “There is drug traf-
ficking happening in every neighbourhood. The question is how much and how bold and what they’re trafficking.” That’s where residents come in. “It’s extremely valuable because a neighbourhood-based crime prevention project can only succeed if the neighbours take it on,” she said. “The police can’t do everything, the social services can’t do everything, the neighbours have to want change and get involved and the way you are most likely to inspire people to get involved is by positively engaging them by listening and making sure that your responses meet their priorities.” Banff-Ledbury is an example of what can be accomplished when people come together, though positive change there didn’t happen overnight. “It took several years to see the tide turn, to see the investment, the change in ways of working, the way in which the community got involved, and things started to turn around,” said Tonner. Similar to Banff-Ledbury, beneficial change has emerged in other neighbourhoods, such as Vanier, Lowertown and Pinecrest-Queensway, where local community health and resource centres have done similar surveys of residents and agencies. During study periods between 2006 and 2011, crime went down in each community by 20 to 27 per cent because of a large number of community engagement initiatives that emerged, said Worsfold, adding that initiatives can range from fixing up parks to holding movies in the park to improving access to services, such as police and health care. With residents leading the charge, positive inroads in their own neighbourhood are more likely to happen, she said. “It’s always the case that a very small number of people can create a lot of fear and a lot of disturbance and, frankly, danger in a neighbourhood,” said Worsfold. “And the vast majority of people living in that neighbourhood are decent, law-abiding, wonderful people, and we need to make sure that their quality of life is not negatively impacted by the few that are committing crimes.” What will emerge following the Herongate survey is unknown at this point, said McDiarmid, but it will likely produce a resident-generated action plan that is unique to that south Ottawa community. “Throughout everything that will come out of this it is about involving residents and tenants in helping them to make their community more vibrant and a healthy and safe place to live,” Tonner said.

OPINION EDITORIAL
A failure of leadership
T
he news that staff had significantly mishandled the city’s contract to manage organic waste with Orgaworld was met with disappointment by senior managers and members of council alike. As it should be. This council has a track record of fair handling of the city’s finances. Significant sums have been spent, but little of it in anything approaching a wasteful manner, mainly on large infrastructure projects that need to be completed sooner or later. On Orgaworld, however, those councillors and city staff who remain from last term when the deal was approved have left a trail of mismanagement and poor decision making. The findings of a report released last week by the city’s auditor general indicate that the current deal with Orgaworld has wasted more than $7 million since the start of the contract thanks to unused capacity and excessive processing costs. It will cost millions more over the life of the 20-year contract, and as much as $10 million to cancel the deal early, if the city chooses to do so. According to the auditor’s report, city staff are
to blame for the bungled contract – none of the expected research and analysis was done ahead of the matter going before council, the report says. But does this mean that the city’s management, especially city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who has served in that position for more than 10 years, should be absolved of any responsibility in the matter? Should those who voted to approve the deal? Of course not. While the likes of Kirkpatrick have accepted some level of responsibility for this debacle, residents should be angry. Under what circumstances should any decision be made without the appropriate information available to back that decision? River Coun. Maria McRae, now chairwoman of the environment committee, asked for that information yet never received it. That’s when questions should’ve been asked. Kirkpatrick told council the possibility of this situation repeating itself “has been removed� through protocol changes, but this failure should’ve been evident to anyone paying attention at the time. Voters would do well to consider these revelations come election time in October.

Football is back in town, but will it stick?
T
he full effect of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment won’t be felt until next year, when the residents of new condo developments move in. We’ll know something about the new shops and their impact on the Glebe when they open in the fall. It’s always possible everything will be as great as promoters of the project have said. Meanwhile, there is football, and this will be one of the most intriguing effects of all. The first home game for the new Ottawa RedBlacks is July 18. Can football make a comeback? Early indications are good: the first game is sold out. Further, the team has looked, in its early games, as if it belongs in the league. This won’t be some inexperienced push-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town over. A win in that first home game will spur ticket sales for the next. Ottawa, it goes without saying, has a proud history in the Canadian Football League. There are great memories, as well as Grey Cups, associated with the Rough Riders. The team was an important part of the life of the city and it would be great if it could become that again.

last days of the Rough Riders and the brief, unfortunate, life of the Ottawa Renegades. It’s hard to say whether weak fan support or bad management killed the Rough Riders, which folded in 1996. Whatever the causes, fan support was too weak to save the team. Similarly, fan support was not enough to keep the Renegades alive – a team that began in 2002, lasted four years and never made the playoffs. When football left Ottawa, both times, some wondered if Ottawa had simply ceased being a CFL kind of town. Maybe not. Maybe it was simply a case of badly run franchises turning off the fans. Maybe a wellrun team in a new stadium would bring folks back.

That is certainly possible. But it is also true that this is a different kind of town than it was in the heyday of the Rough Riders. The RedBlacks face competition for people’s attention and ticket dollars from the Ottawa Senators and, to a lesser extent, from the Ottawa Fury FC. And then there are all the other distractions, many of them electronic, that didn’t exist back when the Rough Riders dominated the sports pages. The CFL, meanwhile, has changed too. Players are paid better than they were in the ’60s and ’70s. In the Russ Jackson era, players took jobs in the off-season and were visible in the community. There is greater distance between player and fan. Ottawa fans can be fickle, too. It’s hard not to think of the Ottawa Lynx. The Triple-A baseball team was big in the ’90s, until it wasn’t. Which is not to say it can’t work for the RedBlacks. The hope is that EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Parenting a young person’s game
T
he older I get, the more I realize that parenting is a young person’s game. Sorry for all of you folks in their late thirties who are having eggs frozen and hoping to meet Mr. Right sometime before 50. But for those of us plummeting toward early menopause with pre-schoolers, I have to tell you, the time is now. Or better yet, 10 years ago. I had my ďŹ rst two children in my late twenties, the third in my mid-thirties. On the plus side, I’m more calm and conďŹ dent in my decisions regarding the third. That, however, could just be from the wealth of mothering expertise I built up with the ďŹ rst two. But I’m also really tired. Don’t get me wrong. She sleeps well, generally 11-12 hours straight per night. And she naps daily on cue. But a two-year-old is incredibly active and demanding. Pre-schoolers are constantly negotiating, eating, making a mess and asking questions that require repetition. As one of my friends used to say, “the toddler’s the wild card.â€? In my twenties, I was so into it. I could read the same storybook 20 times an hour, seven days a week for six months. Now, I have a cut off. I’ll read the same storybook twice per day, maximum. After that, I outsource oral reading to the older siblings or I make the book disappear into the bookshelf for a few weeks. Answer questions? Sure. But where I used to make my repetitive answers sound fresh
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse every time – “Yes, a caterpillar! Yes, it’s brown and fuzzy! Yes, it’s a lovely caterpillar that will make a cocoon.â€? -I’m now kind of on autopilot. “Yes, caterpillar. Yes, caterpillar. Yes, caterpillar.â€? Experience has taught me that I can make a veggie tray in about three minutes at, or a healthy dinner in less than 20. But where I used to ďŹ nd it fun and challenging and interesting to bake with the children, I can no longer be bothered to make that kind of mess over a three-hour period. My boys were brought up on homemade apple sauce mufďŹ ns that they helped make. My daughter eats Bear Paws. I ďŹ gure the banana ones may have some nutritional value. But this column isn’t just about me. It’s also about my friends in their third decades now embarking on motherhood for the ďŹ rst time. It’s disrupted their lives. Oh sure, motherhood always disrupts, right? Yes, but the longer you’ve had the thrill of disposable income and late nights out with girlfriends and a regular pub schedule and the ability to sleep in on a Sunday, the harder it hits you when the little one comes along and just demands and demands and demands 24/7. I don’t have it in me to tell
them that once they get past the sleep training phase, the child will still require sacriďŹ ce beyond anything they’ve ever imagined. I’m not sure how to tell them that their clothing allowances have just been halved because Little Miss is going to require a fresh wardrobe every few months. I can’t bring myself to share the fact that school-aged kids require a minimum of 11 pairs of footwear per year. If you don’t believe me, think about indoor/outdoor shoes, winter boots, rubber boots, sandals, water shoes, soccer cleats, dress shoes and the fact their feet grow constantly. I suppose the latter sentence is a good reason to wait to have kids. More ďŹ nancial stability typically comes with age. But you know what? I ďŹ rmly believe it would be easier to just put the shoes on credit, get the childbearing out of the way early and then slide quietly into menopause while working your way up the corporate ladder, to pay off the debt for all those shoes. As it stands right now, if any of us older mothers make it to retirement, we’re going to be putting kids through university at the same time we’re trying to collect our pensions. But that’s a story for another column.

Four-legged friends to star at pet-rescue block party erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Community - Rescuing pooches is a labour of love for Ashley Ladouceur, and an expensive one at that. For that reason she jumped at the chance when Shannon Giust, coowner of Chew-That, a specialty pet food and accessories business in Riverside South, offered to organize a rescue block party that will double as a community celebration and an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue, Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue and Ottawa Dog Rescue. “We’re certainly not going to say no to that,” said Ladouceur, with Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue. The Ottawa-based rescue specializes in working with animal shelters and other rescues in Ottawa and Gatineau, Que. to help find homes for pooches of all breeds that have intensive medical needs, as well as pit bull-type breeds
that are outlawed in Ontario. Those are re-homed in parts of Quebec and Alberta. Taking in high-needs dogs is costly for the rescue, which relies on adoption fees, about four fundraisers every year and the generosity of donors to pay for dog food, supplies and medical treatment before dogs are adopted out. “Our vet costs a month are about $10,000, pending no crisis, pending no major, major surgeries,” said Ladouceur, an Osgoode resident. “It’s pretty high end. We have typically between 50 and 60 dogs in rescue at any time, so it adds up.” Veterinarian bills include spaying and neutering, dental work, treatment for injuries and various illnesses, special dietary needs, pricey allergy medications and vaccinations, in addition to surgeries and other medical treatments, including amputations in some cases. The block party at the Riverside
South Plaza, located at 665 Earl Armstrong Rd., is scheduled for July 19, from 1 to 5 p.m. There will be a silent auction, face painting, pet-nail trimming, dog washes, a microchip clinic for pet identification, lemonade and snow cones and a professional photographer. There will also be a parade featuring dogs who are available for adoption. “I think a lot of the problem is people see dogs and ... their picture and unless you see them in person it’s hard to really know and really fall in love with a dog,” Ladouceur said. “So this kind of gives people an opportunity to see the dog and to kind of see their personality a little bit and get to know them.” Since it was formed in August 2012, Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue has rescued 300 canines. It relies on about 80 foster homes from Toronto to Montreal, though most are in Ottawa, from Stittsville to Orléans and Manotick to Gatineau.

of wanted to fill that void,” Ladouceur said. “We worked with some shelters before that absolutely had no one networking their dogs, so dogs were dying all the time,” she said, adding that some shelters just didn’t have enough resources, including space, to care for the dogs. A core team of about 10 volunteers, including Ladouceur, ensure as many dogs as possible find their forever home. “It’s a huge commitment,” she said. “I think you really have to have a passion for rescue to do it.” See FINDING , page 11

Riding the Rideau in honour of Dad By Tracey Tong
Peter Croft has always been close to his father, Russell.
Colton Dupuis, 17 months, toddles away from his big brother at a new $75,000 splash pad constructed at Canterbury Park over the past month. Coun. Peter Hume and representatives from Urbandale Corporation, which paid for much of the splash pad, and the Canterbury Community Association celebrated the park’s grand re-opening on July 11. The park now features $265,000 worth of improvements, covered, in part, by Ward 18 cashin-lieu-of-parkland funds. New additions at the park include swings, a play structure, sod and trees, a reconstructed gazebo and additional seating.
Despite living 4,000 miles apart – with Peter in Ottawa and Russell in Edinburgh, Scotland – the two men share an interest in ďŹ shing, and manage a visit every couple of years. Peter even followed in the footsteps of his architectural technologist dad, becoming an architect in the UK at 25, just before emigrating to Ottawa with his Canadian wife in 2001. In 2009, Russell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Fortunately, the disease was caught very early and was highly treatable.

Cameras welcome at paranormal investigation Mysterious activity reported this month Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - No photos exist of Ann Currier alive, but Watson’s Mill guests now have a chance to capture her image from the other side. Organizers of the mill’s annual paranormal investigation on Saturday, July 19 are this year encouraging guests to bring their cameras to see if they can spot any ethereal activities in action. Currier was only 20 when she was killed violently during a milling demonstration to mark the site’s oneyear anniversary in 1861. It is be-
lieved her ghost still lives inside the mill, a rumour reinforced by regular reports of ghostly sightings, sounds and feelings from guests who visit the Manotick museum. Just last week, two Watson’s Mill employees reported hearing unexplained footsteps on the stairs. “I had a bit of an odd experience on the third floor of the mill,� said heritage interpreter Dan Little, who was with his colleague at the time. “We were by the top of the stairs, and out of nowhere we started to hear the clip-clop of heeled footsteps coming up the stairs, but there was no one there.�
Little said they called out to see if anyone was in the mill, but there was no answer. “It was getting louder and louder until it sounded like they stepped onto the top floor. And then it stopped and it didn’t come back,� he said. Little said he was a bit “freaked out� – and the experience has made him rethink his beliefs. “I wouldn’t consider myself a believer (in ghosts) but now the seed of doubt has been planted,� he said. “There have been a number of sightings and different encounters and I thought before they were maybe stories, but now I think this may validate some of the things we’ve heard.� The mysterious footsteps could have come from Ann, but other
“I wouldn’t consider myself a believer (in ghosts) but now the seed of doubt has been planted.� DAN LITTLE WATSON’S MILL EMPLOYEE
ghosts are reported to live in the mill as well; one young boy who drowned inside the mill is said to live in the basement. The investigation will be lead by the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society, which each year brings its specialized paranormal equipment to the mill to find concrete evidence of the
heavenly realm. “They are very serious about what they do,� Trueman said. “I am absolutely positive they will find something that will be interesting.� Established in 2001, the society is a volunteer organization which seeks to understand and capture solid evidence of paranormal activity.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 17, 2014
Blasting the past Sir John Carling Building comes down in impressive implosion Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - There’s no doubt spectators were having a blast in the early hours of July 13, when demolition experts pressed the terminal button to bring down the Sir John Carling Building near Dows Lake. Despite the rainfall that started minutes be-
fore the 7 a.m. detonation, hundreds of people gathered to see the 11-storey building come down, carting everything from cell phones to professional cameras to catch the action. The former Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada headquarters had stood at the corner of Carling Avenue and Prince of Wales Drive since 1967, and served as the agriculture headquarters until 2009, when it was deemed un-
fit for use. The agriculture department and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency moved to Baseline and Merivale roads in 2010. In January 2013, Aim Waste Management was awarded a $4.8-million contract to deconstruct the building, a process which began last summer. On July 13, police were busy keeping curious onlookers behind the safety barriers, which kept them 300 metres from the blast. Warning sirens sounded 10 minutes before the implosion, and then a succession of air horn blasts were heard just before. A quick countdown, and then three deafening booms cracked over the quiet, rainy morning. At first, no change was visible – and then the
building came down in just a second or two, folding into itself and disappearing into a cloud of yellow-grey dust. As the remains of the building settled into rubble, the crowds burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause. The roads opened soon after the blast. The next task is cleaning up the rubble that remains on the site. Once Aim cleans up the implosion’s debris – most of which can be diverted and recycled – the site will be “landscaped,” according to Public Works and Government Services Canada. A spokesperson wouldn’t go so far as to call the new landscaping a public park, but also said it wouldn’t be closed to the public.
Riding for a Cancer Cure By Tracey Tong
In late 2012, Tom Robertson was diagnosed with stage 4 bilateral squamous cell carcinoma in his neck. Treatment started in early 2013. “In between diagnosis and treatment, I saw this cool singlespeed, belt-drive bike at the store and thought that it would be a good idea to make it a goal to ride it after treatment,” said Tom. “But when I was finished all the radiation and chemo, I had difficulty even walking 50 feet, let alone ride a bike.”

Cancer fighting heroes aren’t built overnight. Bit by bit, he built up his strength, one kilometre at a time. Tom signed for the 50 km ride in the 2013 edition of Ride the Rideau as a recovery goal “as well as small payback for the great care and treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital,” he said.

New bridge connection applauded on both sides of river Riverside South and Barrhaven residents welcome access to amenities, shorter commute times Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - With the opening Saturday of the Earl-Armstrong Bridge that now connects Riverside South and Barrhaven, Mark Rogers is looking forward to shaving half an hour off his commute to work in Kanata. “It’s more time with my kids, home quicker to help with dinner, just more time at home,” said the Riverside South resident, who will return to work in September when his parental leave is finished. “I’ll be on it at 7:30 (a.m.) waving to my friends in Barrhaven on my way to work.” Residents on both sides of the Rideau River as well as politicians from all levels of government were on hand to celebrate the June 12 grandopening of the $50-million bridge, which was initially scheduled for completion in 2012, but suffered delays after the construction company went into receivership. Dean Prigent, who lives in the Chapman Mills neighbourhood of Barrhaven, is
now looking forward to a five-minute drive to his job at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South. Since he began teaching there two years ago, he has been commuting through Manotick, which typically took him 25 minutes, sometimes longer depending on traffic. “I know I have a lot of coworkers in the same boat,” Prigent said the day before the bridge was opened. The bridge will also speed up the time it takes him to get his kids from daycare. It will also let him get to students’ after-school games and practices in less time. “So I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “I like going through Manotick. I like the shops there, but with the traffic (and) the way it was getting, some nights the drive home is 40 minutes because everybody has to make a choice. It’s either A or B. “And now there’s just a third option, and for Barrhaven residents it’s a nobrainer. It’s just across the bridge,” he said.
Lesia Gilbert is looking forward to easier access to Barrhaven amenities, and, in turn, is hopeful more Barrhaven residents will shop at businesses in her community of Riverside South. “I’m still going to use our local stores as much as possible, but if they’re unavailable it’s nice to have the Barrhaven stores available,” said Gilbert, who sits on the executive of the Riverside South Community Association. “We like to support local businesses, but we don’t have a lot here yet because we’re still a young community,” said Rogers. “So the advantages of being able to go across to Barrhaven for friends, for access to more businesses and services, I think, is going to be a huge plus for everyone in Riverside South.” Others in their Riverside South community are equally excited about the opportunities the bridge will mean, while some have expressed concern the bridge could bring trouble. “They’re a little worried that maybe some of the Barrhaven crime might come over,” said Gilbert, adding that some Riverside South residents are also worried about increased traffic through the growing com-
munity as a result of the bridge’s opening. But Rogers said it’s too early to tell what the traffic impact will be. “Those are growing pains when a community gets bigger and we adapt and services adapt,” he said. “I think any time you’re improving the infrastructure around a community, it’s going to draw people to that community, which is only going to mean good things for local businesses and just growth and values of homes.” The bridge’s opening was also a long-time coming for Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches, who presided over the grandopening celebration attended by Mayor Jim Watson, Foreign Affairs Minister and Ottawa West-Nepean Member of Parliament John Baird, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre and Ottawa South Member of Provincial Parliament John Fraser. The 143-metre-long bridge is billed at about $50 million, though the final tally won’t be known until the completion of a final costanalysis, which will factor in the recovery of penalty fees owed to the city by the original contractor, Desroches said. See BRIDGE , page 17

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 17, 2014
Bridge serves as ‘critical link:’ councillor Story continued from page 16
The original $48-million price tag is being split three ways between municipal, provincial and federal governments. The company went into receivership due to financial difficulties while in the process of building the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge in 2012, the year the structure was scheduled to be up and running. Construc-
Barrhaven and Riverside South will continue to grow (and) “that’s why we can’t stop with this project.” COUN. STEVE DESROCHES
tion initially began in 2010. The structure now features two dedicated transit lanes, two cycling lanes, sidewalks on both sides, four traffic lanes and dedicated turning lanes. Desroches said it will cut response times for firefighters, police officers and paramedics and give transit riders new routes.
Calling the bridge a “critical link,” Desroches said it is a perfect fit with Strandherd Drive, which was extended from Woodroffe Avenue to Prince of Wales Drive to the tune of $30 million, and with Earl Armstrong Road, which was upgraded for $35 million through federal-provincial government stimulus funding. Barrhaven and Riverside South will continue to grow (and) “that’s why we can’t stop with this project,” said Desroches. “We need an O-Train extension, we need improved transit to Barrhaven, we need to work on Prince of Wales to deal with some of the pressures there, we need to work on the Airport Parkway.” The bridge would one day give Barrhaven residents easier access to an O-Train station on the outskirts of Riverside South if funding can be secured for an O-Train extension, Desroches said, adding the project is presently undergoing an environmental assessment. “I think the project offers a lot of bang for the buck,” he said.

First Kick Offs at the TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park
By Tracey Tong have chronic renal failure from the chemotherapy. Although I am limited in some ways, I try not to let it stop me.
When Serena Beairsto was 16, she began experiencing a pain in her left knee. “It just seemed to appear for no reason,” said Serena. Through X-rays and a bone scan, doctors diagnosed her with osteosarcoma. “I think my parents were more afraid than I was,” Serena remembered. “I didn’t think I was going to die.” She was admitted to a children’s hospital in Halifax, where she received chemotherapy and blood transfusions and had her left leg amputated just above the knee. The treatments were harsh, she said, but didn’t stop the cancer from returning. Just one year later, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left lung.
Ottawa’s new CFL team, the REDBLACKS, along with the Ottawa Fury FC will play their first games at the new TD Place Stadium.
“But I am lucky I survived.”
Cheer on the REDBLACKS as they take on the Toronto Argonauts on Friday July 18, 2014 at 7 p.m. Following this, on Sunday July 20, 2014, the Ottawa Fury FC will play the New York Cosmos at 3:00 p.m. This long awaited moment is momentous in the transformation of Lansdowne Park as a gathering place for locals and visitors. Go Ottawa!
On September 6, 2014, Serena will be participating in Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event and fundraiser for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital.

costs with the bridge. Pierre Poilievre the MP for Nepean-Carleton said the bridge will turn a 30-minute commute into 3 seconds for many people coming into the west end from Riverside South. “Now we are talking $6 in gas,” he said. Poilievre said there has been lots of things said about the new bridge, but thinks most of it will be forgotten in the wake of benefits to residents. “Two communities will become one,” he said, adding Manotick residents will also see decreased traffic flow due to the alternate route. Mayor Jim Watson thanked Desroches for his tireless work in advo-
cating for the bridge – something he experienced firsthand when he was a member of the provincial cabinet. “I think the first call I got after I took my hand off the bible was Steve calling about the bridge,” he said. Watson said the bridge, with its unique architecture will shine a spotlight on the city’s south end. “Forget about the Opera House,” he said. “This is our Eiffel Tower.” The bridge will connect Barrhaven to Riverside South and Strandherd Drive to Earl Armstrong Road. It has dedicated lanes for pedestrians, cyclists and public transit. Opening day included a walking procession, a ribbon cutting ceremony and a first ride on an OC Transpo bus.
OSCA to host art tour this fall Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
Arts - This fall artisans from Old Ottawa South will have the opportunity to show off their talent in the comfort of their own homes. Organized by the Ottawa South Community Association’s events committee, the first OSCA Studio Walking Tour will take place on Sept. 14, inviting area artists to open up their homes and studios to art lovers from across the city. In order to get ready for the show, tour organizer Brenda Lee has put a call out to artists living in the neighbourhood who wish to participate. “We hope to attract a large variety of artists and artisans, painters, potters, fabric workers -- you name it,” Lee said.
“It is our first year, so we don’t anticipate a huge event, but would be pleasantly surprised if it was.” The idea for the art tour came about during a brainstorming session in June. Lee said having hosted the OSCA Windsor Park Art Show for three years as well as the OSCA Shop Your Local Talent Christmas sale, the group knew that the talent is there in Old Ottawa South. “Our experience with special events is that each event takes about three to four years to grow to full potential,” Lee said. “We hope to attract 10 to 15 artists, but we would be quite happy with more. The wonderful thing about this event is that it is self guided and people can choose to visit the artist or artisan that they
wish so the more the merrier.” This, she added, will give artists an opportunity to show their work in their own space. Having worked with artists at the other arts shows hosted in the community, Lee said there is a wide variety of talent, which is quite inspirational. “It is an exciting time in Old Ottawa South for artists with galleries opening up, restaurants displaying local artists works and a real appreciation of locally inspired art emerging, and we are excited to be a part of it,” Lee said. The criteria to participate in the show are: *The artists must live in Old Ottawa South or must have their studio space in the neighbourhood. *All art must be created by
the artist or artisan who registers for the event. *The definition of a studio is an art space, be that a room in a house, a basement, a garden or a studio. * The artist must have space to show their work to the public. *The cost to join the event
is $15. Artists may register for the event at oldottawasouth.ca in the program section of the site. The walking tour will be self guided and free of charge for attendees with the opportunity to choose where to walk and who to visit between
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A map of the participating artists will be available before the tour in hard copy form at the Firehall and electronically on the website and on the association’s Facebook page. For more information call 613-247-4946 or email osca@ oldottawasouth.ca.

City staff misled council on green-bin contract, audit finds Council shocked as report reveals lack of research, analysis justifying $140M contract Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Blame for the botched green-bin contract lies firmly with city staff, according to a recent report released by the auditor general. Ken Hughes delivered a damning audit of the city’s organic waste contract with Orgaworld and called on the city to look at the possibility of getting out of the 20-year deal, detailing how the city has already overspent $8 million taxpayers’ dollars on it. Cancelling the green-bin contract would cost between $8 and 10 million, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, but Orgaworld would likely argue it’s higher. Mayor Jim Watson said the city will have to consider that option in early 2015 after staff conducts a more thorough review of what cancelling the deal would entail. The city will likely take the contract back to arbitration over assertions by Hughes and Kirkpatrick that Orgaworld does not seem to have the capacity to process 100,000 tonnes
of waste. The city’s tonnage quota is based on that capacity, so if Orgaworld can’t handle that much kitchen and yard waste, it would give the city grounds to get the quota lowered. “When we looked at the facility and we know the volumes that were being processed while we were there, it wasn’t evident to us that they had an ability to handle the volume of materials that they are contracted to,” Hughes said. At the root of the issue was a lack of research, Hughes said. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said there are only two reasons city council could have been misled: total incompetence of staff or deliberate wrongdoing. Hughes said he looks for evidence of wrongdoing when he conducts an audit, but there was nothing to indicate misconduct. Hughes said there are “all sorts of reasons” that could have led staff to conclude the contract was the best option. “Because there was a lack of material for us to look at, we had no evidence to support (that theory),”
Hughes said. “There was very little evidence for us to look at.” There was also no evidence of connections between city staff who worked directly on the project and Orgaworld. Hughes said his team found nothing in the scope of its audit that would have indicated criminal behaviour. Kirkpatrick said instead of a comprehensive stack of research justifying the amounts of waste included in the contract, the costs and the need for a facility of that size, he found only “meagre” emails and conversations between staff. A 100,000-tonne facility is just as cost effective as building smaller facilities would have been, the audit found, but that decision was simply a fluke and not based on proper analysis. “Frankly, staff got lucky,” Kirkpatrick said. Most of those staffers in charge of negotiating the contract have moved onto other jobs and are no longer with the city, Kirkpatrick said. Hughes said his team didn’t attempt to contact those former staffers as part of the audit. “In our view, there was not much to be gained in finding out what city staff were thinking at the time,” Hughes said.
Kirkpatrick assured city councillors at a July 9 audit committee meeting that staff’s internal processes have vastly improved, ensuring proper documentation of research, business case analyses and financial implications. “The possibility of this failure being repeated has been removed,” Kirkpatrick said. The city pays at least $7 million a year to Orgaworld to process 80,000 tonnes of organic waste. It’s a threshold the city has barely been able to reach in the seven years since the contract was negotiated, leaving the city to pay to process some waste twice. The city has paid $4.7 million extra for unutilized capacity since the start of the contract, plus $3 million extra since the start of the contract to separately process leaf-and-yard waste, Hughes said. If city staffers had properly analyzed data from pilot projects conducted between 2001 and 2005, they would have discovered a more realistic range of organic waste available for processing is around 21,000 to 57,000 tonnes a year, Hughes said – a far cry from the 80,000 the Orgaworld contract required from the start. Assuming a waste-diversion rate of 60 per cent – the provincial tar-
get – the city could expect to collect about 13,000 to 35,000 tonnes of kitchen scraps each year, Hughes said. Only after 19 years – almost the entire span of the 20-year contract – would the city be able to deliver its required 80,000 annual tonnes, Hughes said – and only if all leaf and yard waste was included. Leaf-and-yard waste has been a point of contention throughout the contract. Hughes said there is no documentation that makes it clear that the city’s contract with Orgaworld included leaf-and-yard waste, especially in the peak spring and fall periods, although a legal arbitration just ruled the city is legally allowed to include that material in its quota. However, if the contract was negotiated properly, Hughes said, the city could have been paying as little as $15.65 a tonne for leaves and yard scraps, which was cheaper to process, as opposed to the whopping $103.77 per tonne it pays for kitchen waste, even when it’s mingled with yard scraps. Over 20 years, it means the city will end up paying a $67 million premium to include that peak leaf and yard waste as part of its minimum tonnage requirement instead of negotiating a lower rate.
Unicycle stolen from world competitor at Bluesfest Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - A night out at Bluesfest had a disappointing end for a local unicyclist who had his unicycle stolen while it was locked up on July 6. To make matters worse, Max Peabody, a Centretown resident, planned to use it at the Unicycling World Championships, which start July 30 in Montreal.
“It’s just a bummer,” said Peabody. “I was hoping to get a lot of training done this month, and that will be harder to do. A lot of parts are hard to find and you have to get comfortable riding one specific unicycle.” Peabody said there are not many unicyclists in Ottawa, so the person who stole his bike probably was just on a hunt for bikes of value to steal. He said he wouldn’t normally take his unicycle to Bluesfest, but his reg-
ular bike was broken. He estimated it would be $800 to replace all the parts to rebuild his unicycle. He has some extra parts, and will get to work to track down the rest of the parts he needs to build a replacement. He doesn’t expect his unicycle to be returned. “I have a lot of friends who have offered me parts,” he said. “The unicycling community is really nice like that.” He still hopes to compete in two
events at the world championships, where he is entered in the flat land and street events. The events are mostly acrobatic, and feature riders in trick battles against other riders. He said the street event resembles skateboarding. Peabody asked anyone with information on his unicycle should call the Ottawa police. The bike is black, well worn, and has white pedals and a white seat post.

News - Ottawa Public Library board chairwoman Jan Harder already has six interested parties lined up interested in partnering to build a new central library. She wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say whether those are landowners, developers or other businesspeople, but Harder said the interest was immediate after she asked the library board to support looking at the option of ďŹ nding a private partner to build a new Main library branch. Harderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push came after a report from library staff recommending spending up to $70 million to renovate the Main branch at Metcalfe Street and Laurier Avenue to meet current needs and ďŹ x up the ailing structure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money the library doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. That ďŹ gure was also a non-starter for Harder, who said the city should ďŹ nd a way to build a new library if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to spend that much money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly when I read that, that was not acceptable,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Main branch is the most used of the 33 public library locations with 16,000 weekly visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nucleus of our system,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our opportunity ... This is a big deal.â&#x20AC;? As library staff gets to work preparing a report with options for public-private partnerships, speculation has begun on where a new library could be located. The report wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done in 2015, but Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi has already made the case to relocate the Main branch to the Bayview Yards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a city-owned property that is under redevelopment as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;innovation centre.â&#x20AC;? Another major site the city owns in the core is Arts Court near the ByWard Market,

Library board chairwoman Jan Harder got board members to agree that seeking a private partner to help build a new central library should be an option on the table as the Ottawa Public Library looks at how to fix up and modernize the Main branch. but Harder said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ship has sailedâ&#x20AC;? on potentially including a library in the complex, which is planned for redevelopment as an expanded arts centre and learning space for the University of Ottawa. But there are other possible locations, Harder said, especially if the city looks outside the boundaries set during the last round of seeking a new public library, which stopped at Bronson Avenue, Highway 417 and the canal. The focus will be on areas that are served by transit, Harder said, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light rail or buses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think about transit and where the city owns property, (and) what does that look like, obviously there are opportunities

out there,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. Harder said other options need to be kept on the table, including renovating the existing branch or allowing the company that leases the tower above the Main library site to buy the air rights from the city sooner than its contract stipulates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The status quo has to be on the table,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to throw good money after bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there. I want to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the best deal ďŹ nancially that we can afford.â&#x20AC;? Either way, the central library needs to get back on the list of top city council priorities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something Harder said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll aim to do for the next term if she is re-elected in October.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update
Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge Officially Open I would like to thank all residents who came out to the official opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge this past weekend. I appreciate the community’s patience during the construction. The project has been my number one priority since I was first elected in 2006. I am pleased that we can put construction behind us and begin to enjoy all of the benefits of this bridge including improved transit service, new transportation networks, better emergency response times, and greatly improved access to recreational, cultural and commercial facilities on both sides of the Rideau River. The bridge will also help facilitate new transit connections and provide a beautiful new piece of architecture for the nation’s capital. This 143 metre long bridge carries four general purpose lanes, two auxiliary turning lanes, two dedicated transit lanes, two on-road cycling lanes and sidewalks in each direction. The dedicated transit lanes will provide efficient OC Transpo services as an alternative while on-road cycling lanes and sidewalks will promote active transportation measures and connect Claudette Cain Park with the Rideau Valley Conservation Area. The bridge will open transit opportunities through new rapid transit links that will make it easier for residents in Riverside South to reach destinations in Kanata and Barrhaven. Residents will have easier access to Via-Rail at Fallowfield station, the Southwest transitway to reach destinations such as Algonquin College, Tunney’s Pasture, and other destinations on the west side of downtown. Similarly, travellers from Barrhaven will have easier access to Carleton University, the airport, the Southeast transitway and other destinations on the south and east sides of the downtown core.
Some punk with your blues
Routes 94 and 99 will be extended effective Saturday, July 19 across the newly-opened bridge, providing transit customers with a new connection between Riverside South and Barrhaven, easier access to shopping and schools, and new connections to Transitway service. For Route 94 most trips will be extended from Nepean Woods Station to Riverview Station (via priority bus lanes). Similarly, Route 99 will also be extended from Riverview Station to the Nepean Woods and Marketplace Stations. A detailed route map and updated schedule will be posted on www.octranpo1.com soon.

Stephen Hanlon had the world by the tail. The 21-year-old had just returned from backpacking through Europe when the bomb dropped. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer which had metastasized to his kidney, lung and lymphatic system. “The prognosis didn’t look good,” remembered Stephen. “It wasn’t caught early. Everyone expected the worst.” Everyone except for Stephen’s oncologist, Dr. David Stewart, who worked at The Ottawa Hospital, where Stephen was treated.

He underwent surgery, 12 weeks of chemotherapy and another extensive surgery. Complications landed him in ICU after going into respiratory arrest where once again the medical staff pulled him through and gave him the best of care. Fast forward many years and Stephen, who works with his wife Shirley on The Hanlon Real Estate Team at Kellar Williams in Mississauga, has just blown out 50 candles on his birthday cake. He’s an avid fitness fan
and has both a Boston Marathon and an Ironman under his belt. He’s also a proud dad of Jacob (19) and Sean (21). When his brother, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute Chief Operating Officer Robert Hanlon approached Stephen about raising funds for the Hospital where he had been treated nearly 30 years earlier, Stephen eagerly agreed.

Ticket holders get first look at TD Place First home game against the Toronto Argos scheduled for July 18 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Sports - With golden scissors, a ribbon was cut on July 9 to mark not only the re-opening of the new home of the Ottawa RedBlacks professional football team, but also what officials say will be a step in the right direction for sports and entertainment in the city. “This afternoon, we cut the ribbon on a bright future at TD Place at Lansdowne,” said Roger Greenberg, chairman of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, before thousands of season-ticket holders flooded the stadium to meet RedBlacks and Ottawa Fury players and test-drive their seats. Fans, many of whom wore RedBlacks team colours during the open-house celebration, were equally excited about the new stadium and the chance to meet their favourite players during an autograph session on the state-of-the art field. “This has been a long-time coming,” said Kathy Blackwood, of Kanata. She and seven other members of her family secured season tickets last October, when they first went on sale. She was thrilled with the seats they secured, which are in the front row,
directly behind the players’ bench, on the south side of the stadium. “I’m hoping they’re not too low for the kids,” she said, adding that it’s exciting to be able to sit so close to the players. Her son, Devaughn Blackwood, 11, has been counting down the days until the first sold-out home game, which is tomorrow (July 18) against the Toronto Argonauts. As a running back and wide receiver for the Kanata Knights football team, the 11-year-old said he has been counting down the days before he gets the chance to watch the professionals take to the new field. “It’s great,” said Devaughn, who planned to cheer loudest for quarterback Henry Burris. Breathing new life into the stadium has been seven years in the making, said Greenberg, adding that the stadium’s reopening years after cracks were first discovered in the south side of the stands wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many partners, including Ottawa city officials. “We have been looking forward to this moment for many, many years,” Greenberg said. He thanked fans from Ottawa and Gatineau for their support. “They told us with their words and their ticket purchases that they wanted Lansdowne to be more than it ever was,” said Greenberg. “They wanted TD Place at Lansdowne to be a sports and entertainment facility we could all be proud ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND of, a venue where we’d be able to share incredible moments with fam- RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris signs an autograph for a young fan on the field of TD Place at Lansdowne Park during an open-house event for season-ticket holders on July 9.

To see the project come together over the years is remarkable, said Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who thanked the “unsung heroes” who are still working to finish construction on the complex “on time and on budget.” “Today, of course, is the first step in reopening a part of our city that has been, for far too long, too dormant,” he said. “What to do with Lansdowne Park has been a multi-decade question that never really brought a lot of answers, but searching for perfection was the enemy (of) getting things done,” he said. Kyle King, 10, of Munster came with a football and a homemade sign to show how serious a fan he is. He is hoping to play the game himself in a couple of years. “He’s a big sports fanatic, so this is great,” Kyle’s father, Mark, said of the chance to cheer on a professional hometown football team. King used to come to the stadium as a kid with his father when they
lived in south Ottawa near Mooney’s Bay. Together, they cheered on the Ottawa Rough Riders, and King will never forget seeing former Rough Riders quarterback Tommy Clements play in 1976. After checking out the seats during the open house where he and his son and father-in-law will be sitting, he said he is highly anticipating watching professional football players once again play in Ottawa. “I can’t wait,” the Munster resident said. “I never thought it would happen again.” His father-in-law only had praise for Canadian Football League commissioner Mark Cohon, and applauded the efforts of RedBlacks management in putting together a lineup of strong players. “They’ve got a good draft,” Sandy Baillie said. “They’re doing everything right,” King added.

Arts – Sympathy for the world’s most famous villains is rampant: Oz’s Elphaba told her side of the story in the Broadway production Wicked, and this spring Sleeping Beauty’s foe Maleficent had her redeeming moment on the silver screen. This July, a group of talented Manotick youth will continue the theme when the first session of Manotick Arts Camp gives our favourite fairytale villains new life. “It’s written through the lens of the necessity of evil, and how the victors always write history,” said stage director Adam Breadner. “It’s the loser’s perspective.” It’s a heavy topic, but this is no sombre affair: the screenplay is full of laughs, and the campers have had ample opportunity to add their own gags and character development into the play. “They’re really good at adding their own comedy,” Breadner said. The Big, Bad Wolf, Maleficent and even a 100-foot giant – at least parts of him – will tell their tales of woe. The two-week camp began July 7 at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick. Fifty campers have specialized in drama, vocals, dance, instrumentation and visual arts to pull a full-length production together in only 10 days. At 7 p.m. on Friday, July 18 as many as 200 people will cram the church basement, and the public is more than welcome to join in the fun. Camp organizer Sandy Stanutz said registration is still open for the second two-week session, which begins July 21. There are also two one-week sessions for younger kids ages 6 to 10, which take place Aug. 5 to 8 and Aug. 11 to 15.

The current Lansdowne construction project employs the latest technology to accomplish new heights in creative design, engineering and energy conservation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the ďŹ rst time that the site has drawn attention. Innovative construction techniques used in the construction of the Civic Centre actually were a tourist attraction. In the summer of 1966, the large beams required for the $8.5M Civic Centre began arriving at Lansdowne Park. The immense beams, fabricated by the Dominion Bridge Company in Montreal, were too large to transport by truck so they were ďŹ&#x201A;oated up the Ottawa River and down the Rideau Canal by barge. As there was only one beam per barge, the ďŹ&#x201A;otilla attracted the attention of onlookers as the beams arrived and were put into place.

TD Place at Lansdowne
n DDavid Johnston
A new era in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment legaacy is unfolding. The revitalized stadium at Lansdowne, nnow known as TD Place, re-opens Friday JJuly 18 when CFL Football returns with the Ottawa REDBLACKS hosting the Toronto O Argonauts. A The event kicks off a year of new beginnnings at Lansdowne, starting with the staddium. TD Place is a year-round entertainment venue, hosting large outdoor concerts and performances in the stadium, and mediumsized shows and events in the arena. With a colourful history dating back to the 19th century, TD Place at Lansdowne has witnessed CFL and Grey Cup drama, FIFA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup games, FIFA U-20 World Cup games, as well as notable performances by the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Supertramp and the Tragically Hip. The stadium at TD Place has been transformed into a 24,000-seat venue, highlighted by a striking and innovative new south stand veil made of Alaskan yellow cedar, a completely refurbished north stand, all-new playing surface and high tech scoreboards with in-stadium signage and services. The CFL Ottawa REDBLACKS and NASL Ottawa Fury FC will both play their inaugural 2014 seasons at the stadium at TD Place. The grounds surrounding TD Place stadium and arena have taken on a new life as an 18-acre urban park. With old favourites, like the Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building, and exciting new attractions such as the Water Plaza, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden and Skating Court, Lansdowne is a four-season playground for everyone. Lansdowne Park opens August 16 with a full day of family-focused fun. The community festival and picnic will feature games and activities for the kids, exhibitions, concerts and more from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In keeping with the heritage theme of the park, the old-fashioned carnival and will offer the opportunity to explore the heritage, modern
amenities and natural beauty of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest world-class attraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lansdowne will soon be an ideal space to spend quality time with friends and family. We hope that everyone comes to experience the excitement of the new Lansdowne,â&#x20AC;? said Marco Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne.

TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park dential. Since the beginning the redevelopment of Lansdowne has been in keeping with its historic role as a gathering place for the community while modernizing its facilities and uses for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents. A key goal of the Lansdowne Partnership Plan is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) CertiďŹ cation. This is a voluntary, consensus-based standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings, assessed over six categories covering sustainability, water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation. A critical element of certiďŹ cation is accessibility. From the start, the Lansdowne construction and design team followed the principles of Universal Design to provide the highest level of accessibility possible and creating areas and spaces that can be used by everyone, including those with and without disabilities. One example is that there are few changes in grade levels. Having sidewalks and roadways at the same level makes it easier for everyone to move around. It also
makes it safer to cross streets for people with walkers, wheelchairs and scooters. The sidewalks and roads at the site have bumps and grit in certain areas to let people with disabilities know that they are approaching another roadway or sidewalk. All benches, water fountains, and other structures have been placed away from each other to allow plenty of room for people to pass by. Taxis and Para Transpo are able to drop people off close to the stadium and seating at the site has been designed to allow for everyone to sit together with plenty of space. Accessible washrooms have also been added to the football stadium.
ing Championships, and performances by leading acts from around the world. It has been transformed with all-new premium seating, state-of-the-art scoreboard and digital signage. The Ontario Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa 67â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return home to TD Place in September. The plan to revitalize Lansdowne started in 2009, in a series of initiatives approved by Ottawa Council. Council voted to proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne June 28, 2010 through a partnership of the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Lansdowne includes the refurbished stadium and former Civic Centre, a large urban park as well as a mixed-use area featuring 360,000 square feet of retail shops and services, ofďŹ ces and residences. The retail is slated to open in the fall and the residences should be ready for occupancy in spring 2015. In creating the Lansdowne project, the City of Ottawa established principals that included pursuing a higher standard of design and sustainability for new elements in the redevelopment. The ďŹ nal design, landscape and architectural plans were reviewed by a panel of experts and City representatives to ensure integration of all areas of the site Workers spread some of the more than 100,000 cubic metres of cement that retail, park, public space, stadium and resihas been poured across the site to build the infrastructure of Lansdowne.

Leave the car bike or walk the paths of Lansdowne
Building Lansdowne Dedicated team creates the new Lansdowne David Johnston
Ottawa Councillor David Chernushenko lead a cycling rally July 6 from the Glebe Community Centre to promote the opening of Lansdowne as a destination for Ottawa cyclists, both for major events and for everyday use. DAVID JOHNSTON
Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly. Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never been easier and a new series of pathways make navigating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansdowne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot. Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lansdowne and will take you to the various buildings, outdoor event spaces and parkland. Bike racks are conveniently located throughout Lansdowne with enough onsite parking for more than 600 bicycles. The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces. Pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all share the roadway. Pedestrians will always have the right of way, followed by cyclists. Car access will be limited. These wide pathways make it easier for everyone to move around freely and experience Lansdowne. The site is fully accessible for people with disabilities. Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway extension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horticulture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events. Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot. On normal days, cyclists and pedestrians can move freely through the site on paths together. When the site is busy, cyclists should dismount and walk their bikes for everyone’s safety.
The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa. Long and harsh, the icy chill bit deep into 5,300 workers on site to create the new Lansdowne. But that didn’t stop construction. Crews remained hard at work on the stadium, underground parking garage and urban park to keep on schedule for the re-opening of the redeveloped 80-acre site. Innovative construction techniques such as ground-heating machines and insulating tarps were used to advance work through frigid winter months. “I can’t say it went without problems, but the project team is so dedicated that we are able to overcome every obstacle. That’s what gets you through the dark days,” said Maro Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne. On site working out of a trailer since the fall of 2012, Manconi has watched the new Lansdowne emerge. From the drama of moving the landmark Horticulture Building from its original location 150 metres to the east, to coordinating the pouring of infrastructure concrete from an onsite mixing plant, the project has moved forward at a steady pace. There are over 50 contractors currently involved in the construction at Lansdowne. Some of these include: Pomerleau Inc. - General Contractor and Overall Site Management; MHPM - Project Managers for OSEG; D&G Landscaping - Urban Park contractor; Minto Residential and Commercial - for the Office Tower; Trinity - Overall Retail Development; Doran; Laurin and Massicotte. “We have a motivated team, and that’s keeps this project going.” Moving an historic structure is no easy feat. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of the building. By the time it was ready to move, the building weighed 1,700 tonnes, including the 480 tonnes of steel beams installed inside for strength and support. It was raised 90 cm with hydraulic jacks onto 48 dollies – each carrying more than 32 tonnes.
R0012798471-0717
City of Ottawa Project Manager Marco Manconi surveys progress on the 18-acre urban park adjacent to the new TD Place stadium and arena. The move took about a week as workers stopped it every five to 10 feet to recalibrate the wheels and ensure that the Horticulture Building arrived precisely at its new home. The building’s heritage designation was removed to allow for the move, but it will be redesignated. “The new location ensures the Horticulture Building will not be overshadowed by taller new commercial buildings on the site. Instead, it will be an architectural anchor for the new urban park, standing in a prominent position near the Rideau Canal. It will reclaim its role as a community gathering place, much as it was when it opened 100 years ago.” The Aberdeen Pavilion, among Ottawa’s most recognizable buildings, is Canada’s last large-scale exhibition building surviving from the 19th century. “The Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building now create a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.” Though Lansdowne is geared toward pedestrian traffic, there is an underground parking garage with about 1,300 parking spaces over approximately 11 acres, stretching from Queen Elizabeth Drive to Bank Street. There are two main vehicle entrances and exits to the garage – one from Queen Elizabeth Drive and a second off of Bank Street, near the stadium. Parking will service the retail component of Lansdowne as well as providing restricted on-site event parking. An entrance for residents only will

be located along Holmwood Ave. Native heritage is also built into Lansdowne and Aberdeen Square. The interlocking stone that stretches across the square has been patterned to resemble Algonquin basketry and food vessels. This interpretive element is inspired by the care and respect paid to food by Algonquins and is set within the heart of the Ottawa Farmer’s Market. The Teaching Circle, south of the rink at the east edge of the property, is another location for visitors to connect with Algonquin culture. Lansdowne’s history is rich with examples of teaching and exhibition and the Teaching Circle will allow for interaction between the Park’s history and that of the Algonquins. Seven Trees of Significance surround the Teaching Circle. Identified by botanical markers and highlighted by interpretive panels, identifying and describing their significance to Algonquin culture, the seven trees are: Eastern White Cedar, Paper Birch, Trembling Aspen, Sugar Maple, Basswood, White Spruce, and Tamarack. The Civic Demonstration Gardens, to be planted in spring 2015, will feature an ethno-botanical garden to feature plant species significant to the Algonquins of Ontario that are of ceremonial, medicinal or practical use. All of these features are intended to not only beautify the square, but also to help educate visitors about Algonquin history, culture and art.
Workers rolled out the first piece of turf at centre field of TD Place Stadium.

Building Lansdowne Horticulture Building regains former glory Transport Demand Management As Lansdowne welcomes visitors this summer, the Horticulture Building will be in the middle of a major restoration. By the end of the year, it will retake its rightful place as a prominent community space. Work is underway to restore this landmark and to make it an architectural anchor for Lansdowne. It will retake its role as a place for community to gather, through farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, festivals, sports and other cultural events. The Horticulture Building was built in 1914 to the designs of Francis C. Sullivan and Allan Keefer. Its place in Canadian architectural history is important given that Sullivan was the only Canadian student of Frank Lloyd Wright. He brought Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prairie Style to Canada in this buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands. The building has undergone considerable change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it has remained a public
space. Many Ottawa residents have fond memories of the building as a central site for curling and other public events. While it received heritage designation in 1989, the building was neglected over the past 20 years. It had been reduced to a storage facility, deteriorating to the point that the public was no longer permitted inside. The heritage designation was brieďŹ&#x201A;y rescinded between 1991 and 1994 to allow for the removal of the workshop, which was not part of the original design. As part of the Lansdowne redevelopment, the landmark Horticulture Building was moved from its original location 150 metres to the east. Together with the Aberdeen Pavilion, the building now creates a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of this historically signiďŹ cant building but in November 2012 the move was successfully completed.

One of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic treasures, The Aberdeen Pavilion, is the last large-scale exhibition building in Canada surviving from the 19th century. When it opened its doors in 1898 at the dawn of the 20th century, its large, column-free interior made it the ideal space to house the Central Canada Exhibition and to promote advancements in agriculture and livestock. Named for staunch agricultural supporter Governor General, the Earl of Aberdeen, it was so associated with agriculture that it became known as the Cattle Castle almost immediately. It became a showcase for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Building. It was also one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest community skating rinks and the site of the Ottawa Silver Seven 1904 Stanley Cup victory. During the Boer War and both World Wars, it was a staging ground for troops prior to deployment overseas. By the time it received Ontario heritage designation in 1982 and as a National Historic Site in Canada in 1983, it had fallen into disuse. In 1992, Ottawa undertook a major refurbishment, restoring the Aberdeen Pavilion to its original splendour, with funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario. Successfully combining the practical with the fanciful, the refurbished building now captures the holiday atmosphere of a 19th-century fair. It remains a visual centrepiece for the redeveloped Lansdowne and an important link to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past.
The Aberdeen Pavillion stills stands out as an Ottawa landmark in the newly re-designed Lansdowne. With its impressive sweeping roof, dome, corner towers and classical details, the building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; designed by Ottawa architect Moses C. Edey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a centrepiece at Lansdowne. The century old building will serve a wide variety of community uses. DAVID JOHNSTON
There is a long a colourful history rooting Lansdowne in the agricultural community. The Ottawa Valley Farm Show got its start when the newly formed Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association sponsored its ďŹ rst seed fair at Renfrew Collegiate in 1927. Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities, the seed fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success soon outgrew smaller venues. In 1959, the show
AGRICULTURE
Aberdeen Pavillion a century-old landmark in Ottawa
moved to Lansdowne Park and for the ďŹ rst time, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running agricultural trade show had a permanent location. With more space at the Lansdowne Park location, large farm equipment manufacturers soon saw the opportunity to set up displays of new farm machinery. This became a major attraction for visitors to the show in conjunction with the OVSGA. The show expanded to six exhibit areas including the entire Civic Centre ďŹ&#x201A;oor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; widely known as the Cattle Castle.
The Ottawa Valley Farm Show remained at Lansdowne Park until 2011 when it relocated to the Ernst & Young Centre in the south end of the city due to the redevelopment of Lansdowne. The OVFS remains a spring tradition for the agricultural and rural communities. With over 300 exhibitors, the show includes displays by livestock breed associations, 4-H exhibits, arts and crafts, farm toys and books, tools, equipment, and the fundraising Pedigreed Seed Sale for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Building Lansdowne Lansdowne stands proud of its war support record Lansdowne Park has been a gathering place for well over 100 years but three times in the last century it served as a gathering place for troops going to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign military missions. The opening of the Aberdeen Pavilion for the 10th Annual Central Canada Exhibition of 1898 showcased the development of this unique site into a signiďŹ cant national and international venue and set the stage for a gathering of military forces. From 1899 to 1901 Lansdowne was used as a staging site for troops of the Lord Strathconaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horse. Soldiers were encamped on the site before shipping out to what is today South Africa to join the British Army against the Dutch South Africans, known as Boers.
With the outbreak of the Boer War in October 1899, the government of Canada responded by recruiting, equipping and transporting two contingents of volunteers to serve with the British forces in South Africa. Over the next three years, more than 7,000 Canadians, including 12 women nurses, served overseas. The war is a key event in the military history of Canada the ďŹ rst time that Canada dispatched troops to an overseas war and it started at the exhibition grounds at Lansdowne. Only 15 years later, at midnight on August 4, 1914, Britain was at war and that meant Canada was at war. Prime Minister Robert Borden offered Canadian assistance to Great Britain and called for a supreme national effort. With an outpouring of patriotic support, Canada mobilized quickly. Less than two weeks later on August 23, 1914, the new Princess Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the ďŹ rst time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the ďŹ rst Canadian infantry unit to head overseas and arrived in France on December 21, 1914. Following the declaration of war, about 3,000 applicants were recruited and by August 19 a full complement of 1,098 had been selected. Captain Andrew Hamilton Gault, A An drew dr ew H amilton Ga ault, a prominent Montreal
businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds with a contribution of $100,000, (equivalent to more than $2 million in 2014), making the PPCLI the last privately raised regiment in Canada. Military connections to Lansdowne were wellestablished by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to ďŹ ght overseas. It became home to The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and the 4th Hussars of Canada, who later became the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards). When Canada declared war on September 10, 1939, The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada had already begun to mobilize and was at full strength of 807 within one week. The 1st Battalion embarked for overseas on December 16, 1940 and arrived in the UK on Christmas Eve. The 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards deployed in 1941. Both regiments served in multiple campaigns during the war. The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa continued as a regiment following the WWII. With their long history of service in the capital, they were granted the Freedom of the City on May 24, 1969. This is the highest honour conferred by a city council upon a military unit.

Building Lansdowne
Lansdowne, History in the Making for our future. The new Lansdowne offers a host of features unimagined in 1868, but has held true to its origins as a place of community and commerce. The new Urban Park, with over 800 trees and acres of new greenspace, will be visited by residents and their guests for decades to come. I wonder what the next ‘first’ at Lansdowne will be. Looking to the legacy of Lansdowne’s heroes past, the ingenuity of Thomas Ahearn, the tenacity of Frank McGee and the nobility of Hamilton Gault, and each of the tens of thousands of veterans who have called Lansdowne home, we know that the possibilities are limited only by our imagination and determination. Lansdowne will continue to be a place where history is made. I encourage every resident of Ottawa to come, and not just experience Lansdowne’s renaissance, but to help build it as well.

CITY OF OTTAWA
By Mayor Jim Watson For the past 146 years, Lansdowne Park has been one of Ottawa’s most important civic sites. It has hosted agricultural fairs, exhibitions, festivals, concerts and sporting events. At Lansdowne, the Silver Seven brought the Stanley Cup to Ottawa, the 67’s the Memorial Cup, and the Rough Riders the Grey Cup. Lansdowne has been the site of many firsts, for our city and our country. The electric stove, light bulb and telephone all made their Canadian debut here in Ottawa, at Lansdowne. Lansdowne has, at times, served a more solemn purpose, as a staging area for troops being deployed overseas, or a mass funeral for a fallen police officer. As we anxiously await the arrival of the renewed and revitalized Lansdowne, we have the opportunity to consider all that this place has meant to the development of our city, as well as the possibilities it provides

TD Place at Lansdowne is ready to kick off a new era of football in the Capital. The Ottawa RedBlacks are the newest addition to the Canadian Football League. Though the team has a new name, it still maintains the traditional colours that link it to a long and rich history. The Ottawa Football Club came into existence in 1876 and alternated between the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Unions. After being suspended for rough play in 1897, the Ottawa Football Club reorganized itself into the Ottawa Rough Riders, and adopted the red and black colours of the Canadian Regiment in the Spanish-American War. In 1909, the Rough Riders moved their games from Metropolitan Grounds to Lansdowne, where the team called home until it folded in 1996. However, when the team won its first Grey Cup in 1925 and its second in 1926, they were known as the Ottawa Senators. The team had changed their name the previous year after amalgamating with St. Brigid’s, which played in the city league. In 1927, the team reverted back to the Ottawa Rough Riders. Lansdowne would continue to be their home over the years, with such hall-of-famers as Tony Golab, Russ Jackson, Tony Gabriel, Tom Clements and Coach Frank Clair. They would win seven more Grey Cups, in 1940, 1951, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1976. Football made a brief return from 2002 to 2005 with the Ottawa Renegades. And now it’s back at Lansdowne where the spirit has always remained.
Lansdowne saw hockey’s Stanley Cup hoisted for Ottawa Over its long history, the Stanley Cup has been hoisted in many iconic buildings the Montreal Forum, the Olympiad in Detroit, the Boston Garden – and the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne. In 1904 the Ottawa Hockey Club, later the Senators and also known as the Silver Seven, were the defending Stanley Cup champions and considered the premier hockey team in Canada. Ottawa had a reputation as a rough team and featured such stars as the Gilmour brothers, Bouse Hutton, and Frank McGee. Three teams challenged Ottawa that year for hockey’s Holy
Grail – the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboroughs, and the Brandon Wheat Kings. Ottawa defeated the Winnipeg in the first series, two games to one. Game Three ranked as the bloodiest Stanley Cup game at that time. The Ottawa team won the Stanley Cup on home ice at the Aberdeen Pavilion that year and again in 1905. Each player received a pocket watch to commemorate their victory. One of the watches is held at the City of Ottawa Archives. Many old arenas, like the Boston Garden and Detroit Olympiad, no longer stand. But like the pocket watch, the Aberdeen Pavilion still captures the glory of hockey’s early years. R0012799688-0717

Grape arbour represented a place of solace in the 1930s Today it would serve no meaningful purpose to a farm that is now used for nothing more than to run cattle and with the house long gone. But back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s, the grape arbour served many purposes. I am not sure now if Father worked the vines to form the arbour, or if they grew that way naturally, although I strongly suspect Mother had asked Father to coax the long vines into shape. At any rate, natural or otherwise, the grape arbour was a high arch of green leaves, completely closed in on the north, east and west sides, with only the south portion facing the old log house open for easy access. I thought the hollow was
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories enormous, as big as our kitchen it was, and Father and Mother could easily stand up inside it, so it would have had to be at least six feet from ground to the top vines. As soon as the leaves formed, the hollow was immediately turned into an outdoor room. At the start of the summer the grass inside was thick and green, but after a couple weeks of constant use,
the grass shrivelled up and died and left a soft mat of straw in its place. Mother would move a wash stand into the very back of the cavity, and Audrey and she would take enough dishes out of the kitchen cupboard to stock the wash stand for the season. A bake table from the summer kitchen was moved out, two benches from the drive shed, and the big wood

swing with the double seats helped ďŹ ll the cavity, and the grape arbour was ready for business. We still ate our breakfasts in the house, but unless it was pouring rain, our noon meal was eaten outside. Father tried to tell Mother using the grape arbour as a dining room added to her work load 10 fold, but Mother always said it was worth the effort. We carried the food out on trays covered with sparkling white tea towels which remained on the steaming bowls and platters all the time we were eating. Heaven forbid that a ďŹ&#x201A;y would come within a country mile of something that was going into our mouths. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how hot the
day, the grape arbour was always cool inside. The big ďŹ&#x201A;at leaves kept the hot rays from penetrating, and if there was a breeze, they still allowed the air to circulate, so it was a most pleasant place to spend an hour at noon time. Father, instead of going into the kitchen to the creton couch, as he did every day after his noon hour dinner, would tilt back an old weather-beaten chair against the table and have his mid-day nap, which he seemed to be able to slip into with the greatest of ease inside or outside the house. When the meal was over, Audrey would bring out the big white granite dish pan ďŹ lled with hot soapy water,
and even the clean-up from the meal was done outside. Sport, our old collie stood at the ready, waiting for whatever morsel was left on a plate to plop right on the ground -- no need for a dog dish outside. On Saturday morning, as a rule, the grape arbour was off limits to everyone but Audrey. Her best friend Iva Thom would come to visit, after each had done her chores, and with their embroidery work, or knitting they would head for the old wood two seater swing. I was never allowed to go near them. Mother said they had earned a time of privacy. See SPECIAL, page 53

Special times spent Theatre launches summer programming under the arbour Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Continued from page 52
How I longed to listen in on their grown-up talk about boys and spooning, and kissing and goodness knows what else, subjects which I knew for a fact peppered their talks in the grape arbour. But they kept their voices low and the big green haven sheltered them from young prying ears and the world outside. When I did have the privilege of having the grape arbour to myself, I would take my dolls out there, and the space would become my house. I would rearrange the benches to form rooms, and the table would be the bed, and I would slip into a world of fantasy to which I alone would have admission. There were many quiet times spent in the grape arbour with Mother. These were private and special times. She with her sewing basket on the ground beside her chair and me sitting beside her listening to tales of her life in New York before she moved to the farm in Renfrew County, and I would think there was no better place to be in the whole wide world, than in that most secluded of spots, the grape arbour.

Joining forces with Signatures Restaurant at Le Cordon Bleu, the theatre is offering a picnic package as part of the theatre’s production of The Financier in Strathcona Park.

Miracle League baseball wins $25,000 Up for $100,000 prize in online vote Brier Dodge brier.dodge@gmail.com
Community - A project to fund a baseball diamond and play structure for youth with special needs has won a $25,000 boost and a chance to quadruple that figure. The Miracle League of Ottawa was awarded the $25,000 when it was named a finalist in the Kraft Celebration Tour. The grand prize in the contest is $100,000. The Desrochers family has acted as spokespeople for the project, especially 11-year-old Bryce, one of the project’s inspirations. Bryce was born with cerebral palsy, and plays sledge hockey and baseball in Ottawa. “I want to be the first person to play on the field when it is built,”
PATRICK KELLY
Bryce Desrochers, 11, celebrates after learning the Miracle League of Ottawa had won a $25,000 prize and a chance to win $100,000. Bryce said, in a Miracle League of Ottawa press release. The money will go a long way
to contributing to the park’s $1 million price tag. The city has committed to matching up to $500,000
raised by the charity organizing the project. The goal is to meet the million goal by the end of 2014 so construction can begin in the spring of 2015. “We’re short,” said the Miracle League’s Dough Thorne. “We want this park to open July 2015 and we’re a good chunk of change short.” He said they are currently in the tendering process to get an exact amount of how much the park, with a fully-accessibly ball diamond and playground, will cost. If they win the full amount from the contest, it would go towards the $500,000 the organization has committed to raising to make the Orléans-area project possible. The park is set to be built in the Notre-Dame des Champs park. There are thousands of special needs children in not only Orléans, but the Ottawa area, Thorne said. “Once the kids play any sorts of sports, they come alive. You should
see the smiles on their faces. We had a little baseball game, and they were just beaming. They were just being kids.” Votes can be cast at kraft celebrationtour.ca on July 21 starting at 9 a.m. until July 22 at 11:59 p.m. Thorne said there is no limit to how many times one person can vote; the volunteers are still figuring out how to maximize their time and get the most votes. He said they are aiming to get 500,000 votes for the Miracle League of Ottawa project. In the lead up to voting, members of the organization are urging people to download a sign from miracleleagueofottawa.ca that says I AM A #miracleWORKER, and take a picture with the sign to upload it to Facebook or Twitter with a tag for the organization. The winner will be announced on Aug. 25, a day after TSN makes a stop in Ottawa as a part of the Kraft Celebration Tour.

Thompson to ask for $8,000 of his office budget to go to youth centre Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Retiring Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson wants to empty his office budget coffers to help the Osgoode Youth Association out of a financial pinch. Thompson was set to ask city council to bend its spending rules to allow him to donate $8,000 from his office budget to OYA, but he withdrew the motion during the last city council meeting before the summer break, on July 9. He will bring the request back to council in August, he said. It was just last year that city council agreed to put a limit on how much taxpayer money from their office budgets they can hand out to community causes. The limit is now 3.5 per cent of the budget, amounting to $7,748 a year.
“This has been done by other councillors, if there is a specific cause that you want to give money to,” Thompson said. “I just want to say, if you check back over the 13 and a half years I’ve been here, I’ve given back over $1 million from my budget to the city. So to ask to go over the limit for a cause in Osgoode Ward, the Osgoode Youth Association, which the city recreation people won’t support, I think is justifiable.” The centre lost its annual $30,000 grant from the United Way two years ago and has run through its savings, said OYA’s director, Nicole McKerracher. SHORTFALL
Thompson said OYA has a shortfall of about $35,000 this year and he’ll be working with the city’s manager of recreation, Dan Chenier, to see if his budget can include funds for the youth centre. Otherwise, Thompson might ask to dip into the city’s fund for unforseen expenses. But McKerracher said Thompson is helping the association negotiate
a $60,000 annual contribution from the city. The city already contributes almost $11,000, mostly towards costs associated with the building, but McKerracher said it makes sense for the city to pony up a larger share of the centre’s costs. It would be cheaper for the association to provide youth services on behalf of the city, rather than create city-run programs, she said. “The city doesn’t provide any services for youth in Osgoode,” she said. “It creates a real challenge for them, a real sense of isolation.” Thompson said he’d like to see OYA find ways to be more financially sustainable. “We have to have a plan in place so they don’t have to come back year after year,” Thompson said. OYA runs two fundraisers every year and is also seeking corporate sponsors, McKerracher said. The centre served 762 youth last year. OYA’s drop-in programs can see anywhere from three to 30 youth come to the centre on any given evening and many of them are regulars, McKerracher said. Thompson had originally intended to ask for the spending exemption to apply to all retiring councillors, but he said after discussing it with staff in the mayor’s office and city officials he is withdrawing that and will focus his efforts on OYA alone.

Returning Lost Cats: We Need Our Community’s Help Society Last year 3,841 lost cats weren’t claimed by their owners. The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) made some tremendous progress in many, many areas, particularly since the move to West Hunt Club. Almost every measure shows improvement. The one glaring exception? The one stubbornly low statistic is cat return-to-owner rate. Last fiscal year, it was an abysmal 5.2%. Worse, it has only exceeded 6% one year in the last decade. That means of the 4,052 stray cats admitted last year, only 211 went home, most because no one came looking for them. When added to the several thousand cats surrendered by their owners, that creates enormous pressure as the OHS cares for and rehomes this huge number of cats. Many strategies have been tried over the years to return more lost cats to their homes, but none have had a significant effect. The OHS needs the animal community’s help. What can you do? First, keep your cat indoors. The OHS estimates that this one step in responsible animal ownership would reduce the number of stray and injured cats by over a half. Second, identify your cat. Even indoor cats escape, especially in the summer when the screen door is opened and closed a

Beans
Hi there, I’m Beans the Chihuahua ! My new family likes to call me “Beansy”, though. I’m a rescue adopted from The Ottawa Dog Rescue. Instead of living on the streets, I now have 2 dog brothers to steal beds from, a cat to chase all around the house, 3 kids to snuggle with (under the blankets of course, so that I surprise them in the middle of the night), and lots of toys to rip the stuffing out of the middle. FUN! Best new life ever! Adopt a rescue please, and give us a second chance.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 17, 2014
Filmmaker premier’s first feature-length movie Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroalnd.com
Arts - Politics. Action. Nazis. “The Scarecrow Club” is a film rife with controversy and tension, and is the first feature-length offering of local filmmaker Richard Groen. The Trailwest resident premiered the 126-minute film at the Mayfair Theatre on July 10, the culmination of 10 years working in Ottawa’s close-knit film community. The film surrounds the election of a modern Nazi party in Ontario after a wave of anti-Semitism. The film follows the growth of a resistance group that is convinced the vote was rigged and fears what the party has in store for Ontario. Groen describes the film as an adult political thriller action film, and his biggest undertaking yet. The 50-year-old writer, producer and director began acting 10 years ago, gaining small parts in local films and
learning from writers and directors. Groen was later inspired to tell his mother’s story living through the Second World War. That story became Groen’s first short film. Again with his new film, Groen said he drew upon the experiences of his parents. “They were both in Holland during the occupation of the Nazis,” he said. “I grew up hearing stories about what it was like.” It’s a narrative that fewer and fewer in Canada are familiar with, he said. “Living in Canada, nobody really understands what it’s like to live in a repressed society, so I decided to write a script that reflected on the slight possibility of something like that happening,” said Groen. Though the movie deals with a controversial topic, Groen said he is not trying to moralize or say anything particular with the film. “I just want people to come off it and say, ‘Wow, that was a good film with a good stor-
yline.’ I don’t have an ulterior motives,” he said. Almost 200 people showed for the premier of the movie, said Groen, who delighted in seeing the reactions of the crowd. “Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves,” he said. “I loved to hear them laugh when they (were meant to) laugh and silent when the tension was there. For my first feature, it was a great overall experience.” The $15,000 movie was filmed all over Ottawa, with scenes on Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill, in Kanata and Russell. The 28 actors and dozen or so crew members were mostly local as well, which resulted in a strong cast, said Groen. “Ottawa is a very small film community, especially when compared to Toronto and Montreal, so we are in a position where everybody knows everybody, so that helps when it comes to creating chemistry on set,” he said.
Groen is thinking submitting the film to the upcoming Ottawa International Film Festival in mid October, and has film festivals in Austin, Texas and Pasadena, California interested in screening the film. He hopes to get some DVDs distributed as well, he said. “This film would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the financial and moral support of my father,” said Groen. “He’s been a big supporter of my filming since day one.” Groen is already starting pre-production for his next film, a popcorn action movie called Crusher. If all goes well, the new film will be ready for next summer.
