Plan for taller, denser Little Italy approved Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A nine-storey condo proposed for Little Italy will destroy the nieghbourhood, according to residents, even though they scored a small victory in protecting some low-rise home areas. The battles played out during a meeting at which city council approved the Preston-Carling community design plan on July 9. Councillors drafted a flurry of motions

requesting taller or shorter buildings in specific locations in the PrestonCarling area, with varying results. But the small gains weren’t enough to please “save Little Italy” supporters, including Dalhousie Community Association past-president Eric Darwin. “The city missed a great opportunity to preserve great inner-city neighbourhoods,” he said. “Pretty soon we’ll see Little Italy when you go to a museum.” See CHANGES, page 7

The Wellington West Business Improvement Area has been granted a ‘bike-friendly’ designation from the Ontario By Bike Network for its efforts to foster cycling in the area, including working to have street corral for parking installed this summer.

Wellington West BIA gets bike-friendly nod First such designation to be awarded in Ontario Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - If you’ve been seeing more cyclists on the roads in and around Wellington West Village, it isn’t your imagination. More people are getting around on two wheels, and the local business community has taken note – and taken steps – to encourage a bike-friendly environment. Their efforts have netted the Wellington West Business Improvement Area a “cycling friendly business district” designation from the Ontario By Bike Network. This is the first designation handed out in the province by the new initiative, which is a project of Transportation Options, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering bike use in Ontario. On the BIA’s website, executive director Zachary Dayler stated, “We want people to visit our wonderful businesses, then take an amazing ride on one of the over 600kms of bike trail here in Ottawa.” The BIA recently gained a significant piece of bike infrastructure in the form of a bike corral, a mobile parking structure for cyclists that R0082738880-0717

takes up one on-street parking spot. Part of a city pilot project, the business association pressured the city to add a corral in their area (another can be found in Hintonburg). Michael McCreesh, project coordinator for Transportation Options, said a business area has to meet specific criteria to be awarded the designation. “We ask participating business areas that the application be driven by business groups, the chamber of commerce, and things like that,” said McCreesh. “That helps foster community buy-in and business buy-in.” He added that Dayler and (board chairman Randy Kemp) have been “fantastic champions in bringing businesses on board” with the bikefriendly initiative, engaging business owners and providing cycling information on their webpage. In the BIA’s catchment area, 14 businesses agree to install bike lockup facilities and keep cycling literature and bike repair tools on hand. Businesses are learning that catering to cyclists can be beneficial, said McCreesh, because they have the mobility and low speed required to spot advertising and stop easily at businesses, compared to motorists. “We hope (the BIA) will show the information they receive over the next few months at our future workshops to illustrate the value in doing this,” said McCreesh.

City staff misled council on green-bin deal: audit Council shocked as report reveals lack of research, analysis for $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 file contact those former staffers as According to a recent report released by the auditor general, the city is paying part of the audit. significantly more than necessary to handle organic waste disposal. “In our view, there was not mentation that makes it clear tract was negotiated properly, much to be gained in finding Hughes said.

Partners already lining up with interest in central library $3,00 Investigate publicprivate partnerships to rebuild Main branch, board says Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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.

File

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. 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 won’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 – a cityowned property that is under redevelopment as an “innovation centre.” Another major site the city

owns in the core is Arts Court near the ByWard Market, but Harder said “the ship has sailed” 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

It’s the most powerful,

“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. Ride the Rideau is The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past

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 wouldn’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 finding a private partner to build a new Main library branch. Harder’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 fix up the ailing structure. It’s money the library doesn’t have. That figure was also a nonstarter for Harder, who said the city should find a way to build a new library if it’s going to spend that much money. “Clearly when I read that, that was not acceptable,” she said. The Main branch is the most used of the 33 public library locations with 16,000 weekly visitors. “It’s the nucleus of our system,” Harder said. “This is our opportunity ... This is a big deal.”

good money after bad. “I want to see what’s out there. I want to see what’s going to be the best deal financially that we can afford.” Either way, the central library needs to get back on the list of top city council priorities – something Harder said she’ll aim to do for the next term if she is re-elected in October.

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. “The status quo has to be on the table,” Harder said. “We can’t continue to throw

at Bronson Avenue, Highway 417 and the canal. The focus will be on areas that are served by transit, Harder said, whether it’s light rail or buses. “If you think about transit and where the city owns property, (and) what does that look like, obviously there are opportunities out there,” Harder said.

Blasting the past Sir John Carling building comes down in impressive implosion Emma Jackson

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 Emma Jackson/Metroland Sir John Carling Building, the former Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada headquarters on started minutes before the 7 a.m. detonation, hundreds of Carling Ave, comes down in an impressive controlled demolition on July 13.

people gathered to see the 11storey 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 unfit 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.

Changes mark end of area as we know it, activists say Continued from page 1

Part of the issue is that many areas that were once designated for residential use only are now classiﬁed as “general urban,” Darwin said, meaning uses other than homes could move in. Jamie Liew, a resident of Norman Street, agreed the new plan spells the end of Little Italy as she knows it. “It means it’s dead. There will be no more village-type community,” she said. With support from Mayor Jim

Watson, planning committee chairman Peter Hume, councillor for Alta Vista Ward, was successful in keeping a residential area on Adeline Street to four storeys instead of the nine that city staff suggested. Hume said nine storeys had been suggested to provide a transition in height from the low-rise homes to higher-rise buildings proposed further south, but residents who live there didn’t want the transition. Whether it’s justiﬁed or not, Hume said, residents felt the nine-storey transition would lead to an erosion of the neighbourhood’s fabric.

“This is an opportunity for us to say to the community, ‘OK, we hear you, we understand,’” he said. “I agree with them, you don’t always need that buffer, that transition.” But even the support of Mayor Jim Watson wasn’t enough for Somerset Coun. Diane Somerset to gain council’s support for her bid to limit building heights on the north side of Norman Street west of Preston Street to four storeys – that area could see buildings of up to nine storeys in the future. Tamarack Homes has plans for a nine- and ﬁve-storey residential

building with townhomes facing Norman Street, which terminates in a dead end at the O-Train tracks. “I think four storeys are much more compatible,” Watson said. “We’re being very generous in the rest of the plan ... It would seem to make sense we should be consistent (with the other dead-end streets).” Liew said she was surprised by the mayor’ support, but noted he only has one vote on council. She intends to appeal the city’s decision to the Ontario Municipal Board in hopes of getting the zoning overturned. The same goes for Young Street – councillors voted down Holmes’s attempt to limit properties fronting onto the south side of Young to four storeys, instead approving zoning up to 15 storeys. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, whose ward also encompasses a portion of the plan, made a failed attempt to change the zon-

ing at sites along the north side of Carling Avenue between Breezehill and Loretta avenues from nine to six storeys. Another motion to do the same for Loretta Avenue didn’t get support from councillors, either. Councillors also shot down an attempt by Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess to allow a developer to build up to nine storeys at 75 Aberdeen St., where only four storeys were planned. A formal application hasn’t been ﬁled with the city, but Bloess said a representative of the developer spoke to him about the idea. Holmes also lost a bid to loosen the restrictions on where improvements to the public realm could be contemplated. While Holmes wanted to see the entire Carling-Preston district become eligible for such improvements, councillors stuck with staff’s plan to focus upgrades on the area around the Carling O-Train station for the next 20 years.

A failure of leadership

he news that staff had significantly mishandled the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract to manage organic waste with Orgaworld was met with disappointment by senior managers and members of council alike. As it should be. This council has a track record of fair handling of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances. Significant sums have been spent, but little of it in anything approaching a wasteful manner, mainly on large infrastructure projects that need to be completed sooner or later. On Orgaworld, however, those councillors and city staff who remain from last term when the deal was approved have left a trail of mismanagement and poor decision making. The findings of a report released last week by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auditor general indicate that the current deal with Orgaworld has wasted more than $7 million since the start of the contract thanks to unused capacity and excessive processing costs. It will cost millions more over the life of the 20-year contract, and as much as $10 million to cancel the deal early, if the city chooses to do so. According to the auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, city staff are

to blame for the bungled contract â&#x20AC;&#x201C; none of the expected research and analysis was done ahead of the matter going before council, the report says. But does this mean that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management, especially city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who has served in that position for more than 10 years, should be absolved of any responsibility in the matter? Should those who voted to approve the deal? Of course not. While the likes of Kirkpatrick have accepted some level of responsibility for this debacle, residents should be angry. Under what circumstances should any decision be made without the appropriate information available to back that decision? River Coun. Maria McRae, now chairwoman of the environment committee, asked for that information yet never received it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when questions shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked. Kirkpatrick told council the possibility of this situation repeating itself â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been removedâ&#x20AC;? through protocol changes, but this failure shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been evident to anyone paying attention at the time. Voters would do well to consider these revelations come election time in October.

Further, the team has looked, in its early games, as if it belongs in the league. This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be some inexperienced push-

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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say whether weak fan support or bad management killed the Rough Riders, which folded in 1996. Whatever the causes, fan support was too weak to save the team. Similarly, fan support was not enough to keep the Renegades alive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a team that began in 2002, lasted four years and never made the playoffs. When football left Ottawa, both times, some wondered if Ottawa had simply ceased being a CFL kind of town. Maybe not. Maybe it was simply a case of badly run franchises turning off the fans. Maybe a wellrun team in a new stadium would bring folks back.

That is certainly possible. But it is also true that this is a different kind of town than it was in the heyday of the Rough Riders. The RedBlacks face competition for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention and ticket dollars from the Ottawa Senators and, to a lesser extent, from the Ottawa Fury FC. And then there are all the other distractions, many of them electronic, that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist back when the Rough Riders dominated the sports pages. The CFL, meanwhile, has changed too. Players are paid better than they were in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s. In the Russ Jackson era, players took jobs in the off-season and were visible in the community. There is greater distance between player and fan. Ottawa fans can be fickle, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to think of the Ottawa Lynx. The Triple-A baseball team was big in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, until it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Which is not to say it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for the RedBlacks. The hope is that

Ottawans have been starved for CFL football are ready to take it to their hearts. The people behind the team and its new home have done everything they can. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the people of Ottawa, who are full of surprises.

Parenting is a young person’s game

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 first two children in my late twenties, the third in my mid-thirties. On the plus side, I’m more calm and confident in my decisions regarding the third. That, however, could just be from the wealth of mothering expertise I built up with the first 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

As one of my friends used to say, “the toddler’s the wild card.” 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

Yes, caterpillar.” Experience has taught me that I can make a veggie tray in about three minutes flat, or a healthy dinner in less than 20. But where I used to find 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 threehour period.

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 spe-

cial 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, R0012774319

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.

Water Garden tour celebrates decade of helping Royal Ottawa Organization also aims to educate public about local wildlife Jennifer McIntosh

Jerika Bradford, with the Canadian Wildlife Federation Pond in Kanata, talks about the work the organization and shows off the fifth stop in the annual Ottawa Water Garden tour on July 12.

News - Organizers of the 10th annual Water Garden tour are hoping to match last year’s fundraising numbers. Jo Riding said the annual tour raises money for the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre; last year the event raised $4,000. The final figures for this year weren’t available before the Ottawa West News went to press. The event was organized by the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Soci-

ety. Riding said half the stops – which included the under construction Aquatopia Conservatory on March Road, the Canadian Wildlife Federation, the Sprague Pond less Waterfall in Nepean and the DuFour Pond in Gloucester. There were a dozen stops in total. Jerika Bradford, who works with the Canadian Wildlife Federation, said it’s the second time the organization has participated for the last three years. The organization, which has a pond and a hummingbird garden onsite, aims

to educate the public about local wildlife. “We do a lot of education and raising awareness,” Bradford said. “That’s why events like this are so important. We have had a lot of traffic. A deer even made an appearance for some people who came out to have a look.” Riding said aside from established water pond stops, the tour will also include a do-ityourself garden, nominated by some of the retail sponsors. “It was a really busy day, it was perfect weather for it,” she said.

Legends of rock

Cancer-free and enjoying each day By Tracey Tong Stephen Hanlon had the world by the tail. The 21-year-old had just returned from backpacking through Europe when the bomb dropped.

Before the RBC Bluesfest wrapped up on July 13, a number of rock legends hit the stage. Left, Ed Robertson performs with the Barenaked Ladies on July 11. The long-standing Canadian rock group attracted a large crowd, which came together near the end of the night with a group singa-long of their hit, If I Had a Million Dollars. Above, Foreigner frontman Kelly Hansen and his bandmates entertained the crowd with a large catalogue of classic rock hits during their July 8 appearance. Right, legendary rock-punk-new wave act Blondie thrilled a large, enthusiastic crowd on July 10, playing such hits as Call Me and Heart of Glass.

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.

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

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.

International competitor has unicycle stolen 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 regular bike was broken. He estimated it would be

$800 to replace all the parts to rebuild his unicycle. “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. 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.

Riding the Rideau in honour of Dad By Tracey Tong

Peter Croft has always been close to his father, Russell. Despite living 4,000 miles apart – with Peter in Ottawa and Russell in Edinburgh, Scotland – the two men share an interest in fishing, 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.

3:50:04 PM

In 2009, Russell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Fortunately, the disease was caught very early and was highly treatable.

The dreaded disease returned again before last Christmas. This time, the relapse took a huge toll on the formerly strong man. “The first two fights with cancer wore him down,” Peter said. ‘This time, there were stays at the hospital for a bunch of complications,” Peter said. “His bowel ruptured, and he got very close to death’s door.”

His father, now 68, is “very frail” and housebound, and doctors have told his family that the cancer is beyond cure. “We are obviously devastated,” Peter said of his tightknit family. Searching for a way to make a difference here at home in Ottawa, Peter signed up for Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6.

But when Russell was diagnosed with an aggressive Large Cell B Lymphoma in 2010 – the family was worried. He underwent more than two years of chemotherapy.

News - Pineview parents and children have another great reason to get outside this summer – free programming presented at Meadowbrook Park. The Pineview green space is one of the many places the city’s Park-ticipate program will visit this summer. Organized through the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex-Orléans, the recreation centre is offering free, onehour programming for children from four to 10 years-old all summer long at different local, rural, and urban parks throughout Ottawa. Organizing Meadowbrook Park’s activities, Evan Jones and Matt Seguin have a chest full of crafts, markers and silliness ready for eager young minds to dig in to. “It’s great,” Jones said. “There is always something fun planned and there is always a new bunch of kids that come out.” Numbers start out small at the start, but Jones said once the word starts to spread, the children and parents flock to the parks to participate and the both Seguin and Jones said there is no limit to how

Three eager Pineview residents, Ishaan Tim, left, Alex Scott and Hayley Joseph were at Meadowbrook Park for the first of a weekly city-run program called Park-ticipate. Roving city staffers Matt Seguin and Evan Jones will be visiting four parks a day in the Beacon Hill-Cyrville and Orléans neighbourhoods over the course of the summer. many children can participate in the program. The weekly programming does require a parent or guardian to attend with their child, but aside from that, Jones said it’s all about having a good time. Each event will include a new activity – everything from soccer to bugs to pirates – children will have the opportunity to participate in both a craft and an organized game, depending on the amount of participants.

Local filmmaker premieres first feature-length movie A modern Nazi party wins the Ontario election in ‘The Scarecrow Club’ adam.kveton@metroalnd.com

Arts - Politics. Action. Nazis. “The Scarecrow Club” is a film rife with controversy and tension, and is the first featurelength 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 antiSemitism. 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 storyline.’ I don’t have an ulterior

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.

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.

Cameras welcome at paranormal investigation Mysterious activity reported this month at Watson’s Mill Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – No photos exist of Ann Currier alive, but Watson’s Mill guests now have a chance to capture her image from the other side. Organizers of the mill’s annual paranormal investigation on Saturday, July 19 are this year encouraging guests to bring their cameras to see if they can spot any ethereal activities in action. Currier was only 20 when she was killed violently during a milling demonstration to mark the site’s one-year anniversary in 1861. It is believed her ghost still lives inside the mill, a rumour reinforced by regular reports of ghostly sightings, sounds and feelings from guests who visit the Manotick museum. Just last week, two Watson’s Mill employees reported hearing unexplained footsteps on the stairs. “I had a bit of an odd 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.

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. Dan Little, Watson’s Mill

“I wouldn’t consider myself a believer (in ghosts) but now the seed of doubt has been planted,” he said. “There have been a number of sightings and different encounters and I thought before they were maybe stories, but now I think this may validate some of the things we’ve heard.” The mysterious footsteps could have come from Ann, but other ghosts are reported to live in the mill as well; one young boy who drowned inside the mill is said to live in the basement. The investigation will be lead by the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society, which

each year brings its specialized paranormal equipment to the mill to find concrete evidence of the heavenly realm. “They are very serious about what they do,” 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. This year the group will bring its new plasma ball equipment, which is used to “pick up on certain energies,” according to Trueman. Tickets are $25 and include a light dinner. The event is not recommended for children under 10. The mill is located at 5525 Dickinson St. in Manotick. Free parking is available on site. For tickets call 613-6926455.

research on the history of individual homes, information that will be shared with the city. The committee has also reached out to residents living on the streets in question, holding an information session this past winter as well

as conducting an email campaign. “We have heard from a number of residents that they are disappointed to see houses lost on their streets and welcome any effort to conserve them,” Persohn said. “Generally residents we’ve spoken

News - In an effort to preserve heritage in the neighbourhood, the Glebe Community Association heritage committee would like the city to further study the historical value of some specific streets in the area. Over the past few years, the heritage committee has been conducting research on the historical aspects of the Glebe’s north end to support the proposed extension of the existing Clemow Estates East heritage conservation district. This includes Linden Terrace, Patterson Creek and buildings around Central Park West which are on the city’s heritage staff’s work plan for this fall. The committee felt missing from the study was Clemow Avenue west of Bank Street and Monkland Avenue. Committee chairwoman Johanna Persohn said a letter has been drafted asking the city to add the area to this fall’s study. “These are landscapes that

the research and the committee even conducted interviews with long-time residents for the project. The group plans to post these interview transcripts on the Glebe Community Association’s website. In addition to studying Clemow and Monkland avenues, the group has also been conducting research on Glebe and Powell avenues. According to Persohn, these avenues were part of the subdivision plan that was set out for Clemow West, but were not part of the driveway system. “We do consider them also significant and plan to continue researching them and may consider in the future asking the city to consider studying them as well,” she said. Regardless, the group hopes to group all their research together and to publish it, in some way, either on a website or some other form in the future. “We hope it can be a jumping off point for this type of historical research elsewhere in the city,” Persohn said.

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. Dana Uzarevic, general manager of Odyssey Theatre, said this is a great way to support the broader community. “We love the community of Sandy Hill,” Uzarevic said. “We also love that this partnership has been fully embraced by our patrons who can enjoy a night of live action and a delicious meal, both within walking distance of each other.” The picnic, which will be prepared by chef Yannick Anton, includes

Camembert cheese and baguette, herb roasted chicken breast, a roasted tomato provencale, seasonal vegetables and a pasta salad. There will also be a fruit salad, a macaroon and water. The picnic and play will be offered from Wednesday to Saturday. “We are excited to provide a delicious picnic meal,” said Mike Greenwood of Signatures Restaurant. “And (we) are striving to ensure the quality and creativity of our food matches that of Odyssey’s amazing production of The Financier.” The Odyssey Theatre has been performing outdoor theatre in Sandy Hill for the past 28 years and this year the production of The Financier welcomes back artistic director Laurie Steven.

Health centre checks pulse of Herongate Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Nicole Li, left, a community health worker with South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, will be knocking on doors in Herongate this summer to survey residents and identify service providers operating in that community. Kelli Tonner, the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program director of community services, says the goal of the asset-mapping project is to identify needs, concerns and opportunities, as well as build connections in the neighbourhood. doing focus groups,â&#x20AC;? said Leslie McDiarmid, executive director of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. Herongate came on the radar more than a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community where we have not seen a lot of concerted effort. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community where â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I think that the police spoke to it (at a Herongate community safety meeting on July 3) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; crime is not up per say, however there have been a few acute incidents over a fairly short period of time,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding the community has seen a lot of change in recent years, including a new housing landlord in the largely rental area. 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really need to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

R0012798587

News - If you live in Herongate and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a knock at your door this summer, it could very well be Nicole Li. She will be conducting a new 10week initiative in the community that aims to solicit residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feedback on what is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working in what some say is a troubled neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to hearing mostly what the tenants have to say because I think too much gets said about communities without actually talking to the people that live in that community,â&#x20AC;? said Li, a community health worker with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really interested to hear what they would like to see in their own community, what would make it better for them.â&#x20AC;? The first step for Li is identifying service providers, such as police, youth outreach and housing landlords, among others, who are currently operating in the neighbourhood. She will also reach out to community and activity groups, in order to form focus groups of people from a wide cross-section of ages, religions, languages and cultural backgrounds. Li will be knocking on residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; doors throughout August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking to reach out to the diversity of who lives here,â&#x20AC;? said Kelli Tonner, director of community services for the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, who is overseeing the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concerns of seniors might be different than the concerns of young parents. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. We have to ask. But we are looking to speak to those groups.â&#x20AC;? The initiative is being funded with a $9,100 grant from Crime Prevention Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? 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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it really is much more of a mapping exercise than it is simply

really happening,â&#x20AC;? Worsfold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not useful to reinvent the wheel; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not useful to respond to one perception or one incident.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? Worsfold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is drug trafficking happening in every neighbourhood. The question is how much and how bold and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trafficking.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where residents come in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely valuable because a neighbourhood-based crime prevention project can only succeed if the neighbours take it on,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The police canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything, the social services canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.â&#x20AC;?

Banff-Ledbury is an example of what can be accomplished when people come together, though positive change there didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? 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. 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.

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, co-owner of ChewThat, 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

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, petnail 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. For its work, the Ottawa Humane Society presented the rescue with the Muriel Davies Kindness Award last fall. “There wasn’t really a rescue just focusing on shelter

animals so we kind 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.” The reward comes from ensuring their foster dogs find their happy endings. “It’s really nice when you meet the dogs and when you see them go from the shelter and almost dying to being adopted,” said Ladouceur said, adding that while it’s often sad to say goodbye to the dogs they’ve cared for it also marks a positive, new beginning. “It’s bittersweet,” she said.

New bridge applauded on both sides of Rideau River Residents welcome improved 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 fiveminute 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 officially 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 no-brainer. 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 JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND still a young community,” said The Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge opened to vehicular traffic on July 11, offering resiRogers. “So the advantages of dents of Barrhaven and Riverside South a much-needed crossing of the Rideau River. being able to go across to Barrhaven for friends, for access tended by Mayor Jim Watson, lanes.

Protecting Our Most Vital Resource – Water Ottawa is a city blessed with an abundance of water. The Ottawa River and various wells are the sources of our drinking water, and our waterways remain popular recreation destinations and home to countless fish, birds, and animals. City Council is strongly committed to protecting and improving the health of our water resources for future generations. The City of Ottawa has some of the best drinking water in the world and City Council and staff are steadfast in ensuring that we keep it that way. In 2013, the City’s seven drinking water systems received a perfect score in Drinking Water System inspections conducted by the Ministry of the Environment.

City Council is ensuring that we protect the Ottawa River for future generations to enjoy by advancing projects in the Ottawa River Action Plan. For example, 2013 saw the lowest level of combined sewage overflows to the Ottawa River in eight years. Council has approved the municipality’s financial contribution towards the next phase of this project and we will continue to work with our Federal and Provincial partners to protect our gem.

Kanata co-founder of Uganda boys’ home hosting volleyball fundraiser in Ottawa Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - A young man from Kanata began an unexpected journey in late 2012 when he went to Uganda in a bid to “shake things up” and find himself. Instead, he found droves of street kids and a new friend with a dream to help them. Robbie Palmer took up the challenge, and co-founded Kwagala Ministries in Jinja, Uganda with Raoul Mugosa in December, 2012. Now, he is back in Ottawa fundraising for the boys’ home and working for the summer to save up enough money to survive on for another year in Jinja. The whole adventure has been “a great experience,” said Palmer, and has ignited a passion he never knew he had. Palmer’s first trip to Uganda was in October, 2012 as a sort of post-graduation journey. “Originally I didn’t really know exactly why I was going to Uganda,” he said. A cousin of his who had traveled there seven years before had a friend that Palmer could stay with – Raoul Mugosa.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Library of the 21st century opens next month in Kanata More space, better wireless, emphasis on nature some features of West District Library Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - The West District Library will open for business on Aug. 6, with the opening ceremony on Aug. 23. Work on the building began in June, 2013, and the construction phase of the project is basically done, said branch co-ordinator Karen Beiles. “I would say that (the project) has been not without occasional hiccups as all large projects are, but extremely smooth overall,” she said. “The construction was essentially completed at the end of May as required,” said Beiles, adding that the timely end to construction was in large part due to excellent project management on the part of R.E. Hein, the general contractor for the construction. The architectural design of the building was influenced by public consultation sessions that asked for natural light, more sitting and meeting space and to bring in nature, she said. The building, designed by Emanuelle van Rutten with Moriyama and Teshima Architects, includes tall windows to bring in natural light, many more study spaces, lounge spaces and meeting rooms with a range of sizes. The call for incorporating nature in the design also re-

sulted in selecting Ottawa artist Chris Griffen’s art project from a public art competition for the library. Griffen’s project, completed this week, features the South March Highlands’ Blanding’s turtle, listed as a threatened species in Ontario and Canada. Griffen uses wet concrete as a medium to etch into, using an ostrich bone and nail as his tools. Griffen created a mural featuring the turtles at the south entrance to the library. Some of the thirteen concrete turtle statues made by Griffen and 48 community members will be placed in several spaces throughout the library, including the storytime space for children. Work on the interior setup of the library continues right up until Aug. 6, with shelving, furniture, IT equipment and much more going in throughout the next few weeks. When completed, the library will include 100,000 hard copy items, which represents a 30 per cent increase from the previous building’s collection. “That being said … library usage patterns are changing considerably, though our print collections are still in very high demand,” said Beiles. “People are using the electronic resources with great enthusiasm. “One of the other items

The simple way to shop for insurance.

that came up during the public consultation sessions is that people wanted space more than they wanted more collections. “That seemed to be a real priority, so the library of the 21st century is a meeting and a gathering place certainly as much as it is a store for books,” she said. While internet connectivity is a priority, so is automation, said Beiles. Throughout Ottawa, the library system is converting from manual handling and sorting of books to automated processes, she said. To that end, the new library will have Ottawa’s and possible Ontario’s first overhead conveyor system for transporting books to the library’s sorting area. The design of the building allows for some of the conveyor belt to be visible so children can watch their books on their travels. The move towards more automation will mean more community outreach, programming and activities from the library and its librarians as they interact with the public more and more. With work on the facility nearly done, Beiles said she is very excited for the public to see and use their new library.

Lansdowne neighbours get first look at new stadium Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Lansdowne Park’s closest neighbours got their first look at the new TD Place Stadium during a community open house on July 6. Residents from the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Old Ottawa East attended the open house organized by the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group which included a tour of the new stadium. To get things started, Coun. David Chernushenko led a group of cyclists to the stadium from the Glebe Community Centre. Upon arrival, TD Place staff put bicycles in the secure holding area, as they plan to do for upcoming events at the facility.

Chernushenko said the key piece to Lansdowne Park turning into a success is for people to come by bike, something he has worked hard make a reality. “The busy Bank Street Bridge has long been a deterrent for cyclists who feel uncomfortable in heavy traffic,” Chernushenko said. “Sharrows offer a highly visible reminder that cyclists have the right to occupy the lane in an area where it is unsafe for them to ride side-by-side with drivers.” Groups of 25 were taken on tours past the Horticulture Building and into the south side stands, where they were greeted by Big Joe, the RedBlacks mascot.

Thousands of RedBlacks season-ticket holders came to an open house to check out their seats, meet the players and watch the cheerleaders in action at TD Place Stadium on July 9. Above, players snap a celebratory selfie photograph on the field at the Landsdowne Park stadium following the grand opening. The Redblacks will go up against the Toronto Argonauts during the club’s inaugural home game, which takes place on July 18.

Traffic chaos should be contained, Chernushenko says Continued from page 33

A soccer net was set up for participants to take their best shot. Most of the residents who attended the tour were amazed by the new stadium. “I think it’s awesome,” said Jessica King. “The changes are insane, but it looks really good and I think it works well with the community.” King and her husband, Steven Carswell, used to rent in the Glebe but recently moved to Mooney’s Bay. The couple spent an hour walking to participate in the tour, eager to see the changes. “We were excited when we saw it. We went to a couple of the showcase

things and we looked at buying in the area too,” King said. Her husband agreed. “It looks great, I’m really happy,” Carswell said. “It’s a useable space now and not just kind of a big slab, so I’m excited to get to go to some of the games and just hang out.” Not all the residents who attended the tour were pleased with the results. “Well it was a good tour of the stadium, but not so much of the grounds,” said David Ross, a Glebe resident. “I mean we weren’t allowed on the grounds too much, but the stadium looks nice. If you are a football fan, I’d be quite happy. But the rest of the park, we still have to wait and

see how it operates.” Ross added traffic coming to his neighbourhood remains a top concern. “I mean, I was for development of Lansdowne, not as a shopping centre, basically, and because we live in the Glebe, it’s going to create horrendous traffic,” he said. Participating in the tour, Ross said, did little help change his opinion, or that of his wife. “I think if you live here, you are a lot more skeptical of what is going to happen,” Elizabeth Ross said. “We’ve fought against this, and now it’s going ahead, so you can’t really see it until it’s all finished, but what it means for us I think, well, what it already means for us is you are having a coffee on Bank Street and now there are thousands of trucks going down here. When that’s finished, then it will be trucks for Whole Foods and all these other places we don’t want. So that’s what I think and my opinion has not changed.” When asked about the negative comments and concerns, King said she tries to understand, but at the end of the day, people had to accept the large park and stadium would one day be occupied again.

Coun. David Chernushenko was the first to arrive by bike to Lansdowne Park on July 6 to announce the emphasis on alternative ways of getting to the park, which will include free, secure bike parking for TD Place event ticket-holders. “On the one hand I understand it’s inconvenient, but you know buying a house in this area, this has always been here, so you kind of must have

known all along that this was going to be a busy spot eventually. I don’t think that thinking it was going to sit vacant was a realistic thought,” she said. Lansdowne will officially open on July 18 with the Redblacks first home game. In an effort to keep traffic concerns to a minimum, OSEG has created a transportation plan, which includes free transit for ticket holders, off-site parking with express shuttles to and from the stadium and secure bicycle parking for cyclists. Chernushenko said he was fairly confident the traffic chaos would be at a minimum, but also said he would be happy if there was because it will teach people they can’t all drive to the games, but have to find ways of walking, biking or transit to get here.

Hot rods to cruise St. Joseph all summer brier.dodge@metroland.com

Community - Every Monday of the summer, St. Joseph will become a meeting place for hot rods, classic cars and antique motorcycles. On July 7, the first Monday of the event, unique cars and vehicles were packed into a parking lot near St. Joseph and Orléans boulevards. With the support of the Shop St. Joseph BIA, organizers have got permission to put up Hot Rod Parking signs along most parking lots on St. Joseph between Youville Drive and Orléans Boulevard every Monday until Aug. 25. Cars are invited to come from 6 to 7 p.m. for a “show and shine,” meeting other car owners and anyone who is interested in cars, and then cruise down St. Joseph after. “The whole goal was to bring it back to Orléans,” said Allan Perrier, one of the organizers. Perrier said the show is the

only one in the area where cars cruise – actually driving up and down the street – and the only event of it’s type in the east-end. He owns a 1986 Mustang GT himself, and was eager to show it off. His interest in the event was two-fold, as Perrier owns Al Jue Ask 4 Cantine & Takeout, a St. Joseph Boulevard business. He hopes that cars will fill the parking lots of businesses down the stretch of St. Joseph Boulevard and participants will duck into local shops and restaurants when they attend. Co-organizer François Trepanier said the cars won’t all cruise at the same time for safety reasons. They will also all be required to turn right out of the parking lots, instead of left, to prevent any accidents. “From 7 to 7:30 they’ll cruise up and down,” he said, adding the driving route will be from Youville Drive to Centrum. “It keeps it safe.” There is no cost to take part in the event or visit, but

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

In a lighthearted moment to the delight of the children on hand, Allan Perrier is put in handcuffs by Const. Tookenay and into Rob Nadeau’s 1985 Mustang, a former California Highway Patrol car. The car was on St. Joseph Boulevard for the first Monday in the summer-long Cruising St. Joseph event. Trepanier said some sponsors were brought on board to pay for the cost of permits and to have an Ottawa police officer on site for the first two weeks

of the event. It was great to have an event just down the road from his house, said Orléans resident Rob Nadeau, who brought out

Pet Adoptions Buracha ID#A167082 Sweet little Buracha (A167082) is a friendly gal looking for her purrrfect match. This playful kitty loves to be in the thick of the action and once she’s pooped from playtime will curl up for a cuddle and snooze on your lap. She is a social creature who gets along with other cats and is patient with active children. She will happily greet you at the door when you come home each day and is great about using her scratching post! Buracha is a loving and affectionate feline who would provide loyal companionship for years to come.

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.

his 1985 Mustang LX, a former California Highway Patrol car that still has the proper paint and decals. He usually participates in events just for

Mustang owners, so it was a nice change to mix with other car collectors. “There’s a passion about cars in general,” he said. “It’s a chance to come out and show your kids, the dad can tell the son, ‘That’s what I used to have’.” Even police officers are often drawn to his collector car, which was used as a highway patrol car back in the `80s. It’s unique detail draws people over to talk about the vehicle, which he’s quite happy to chat about. Nadeau can attend up to four events in a summer week, but there is hardly anything in the east-end for him to attend. “Just the people you meet, there’s always a story,” he said. “This is my story – what’s yours?” Cruising St. Joseph runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. every Monday evening until Aug. 25, with cars parked in local business parking lots on St. Joseph Boulevard between Youville Drive and Orléans Boulevard.

Lansdowne

t a io is ovuct h nn tr i f ns o o c h

The current Lansdowne construction project employs the latest technology to accomplish new heights in creative design, engineering and energy conservation. It’s not the first 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 floated up the Ottawa River and down the Rideau Canal by barge. As there was only one beam per barge, the flotilla attracted the attention of onlookers as the beams arrived and were put into place.

TD Place at Lansdowne

n David Johnston

A new era in Ottawa’s entertainment legacy is unfolding. The revitalized stadium at Lansdowne, now known as TD Place, re-opens Friday July 18 when CFL Football returns with the Ottawa REDBLACKS hosting the Toronto Argonauts. The event kicks off a year of new beginnings at Lansdowne, starting with the stadium. 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 Women’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, Children’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 Ottawa’s newest world-class attraction. “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,” said Marco Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne. The 10,000-seat arena at TD Place has been home to NHL games, the World Junior Hockey Championships, World Figure Skat-

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 today’s residents. A key goal of the Lansdowne Partnership Plan is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification. 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 certification 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 League’s Ottawa 67’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, offices 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 final 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.

Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly. Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never been easier and a new series of pathways make navigating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansdowne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot. Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lansdowne and will take you to the various buildings, outdoor event spaces and parkland. Bike racks are conveniently located throughout Lansdowne with enough onsite parking for more than 600 bicycles. The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces. Pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all share the roadway. Pedestrians will always have the right of way, followed by cyclists. Car access will be limited. These wide pathways make it easier for everyone to move around freely and experience Lansdowne. The site is fully accessible for people with disabilities. Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway extension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horticulture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events. Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot. On normal days, cyclists and pedestrians can move freely through the site on paths together. When the site is busy, cyclists should dismount and walk their bikes for everyone’s safety.

The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa. Long and harsh, the icy chill bit deep into 5,300 workers on site to create the new Lansdowne. But that didn’t stop construction. Crews remained hard at work on the stadium, underground parking garage and urban park to keep on schedule for the re-opening of the redeveloped 80-acre site. Innovative construction techniques such as ground-heating machines and insulating tarps were used to advance work through frigid winter months. “I can’t say it went without problems, but the project team is so dedicated that we are able to overcome every obstacle. That’s what gets you through the dark days,” said Maro Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne. On site working out of a trailer since the fall of 2012, Manconi has watched the new Lansdowne emerge. From the drama of moving the landmark Horticulture Building from its original location 150 metres to the east, to coordinating the pouring of infrastructure concrete from an onsite mixing plant, the project has moved forward at a steady pace. There are over 50 contractors currently involved in the construction at Lansdowne. Some of these include: Pomerleau Inc. - General Contractor and Overall Site Management; MHPM - Project Managers for OSEG; D&G Landscaping - Urban Park contractor; Minto Residential and Commercial - for the Office Tower; Trinity - Overall Retail Development; Doran; Laurin and Massicotte. “We have a motivated team, and that’s keeps this project going.” Moving an historic structure is no easy feat. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of the building. By the time it was ready to move, the building weighed 1,700 tonnes, including the 480 tonnes of steel beams installed inside for strength and support. It was raised 90 cm with hydraulic jacks onto 48 dollies – each carrying more than 32 tonnes.

R0012798471-0717

City of Ottawa Project Manager Marco Manconi surveys progress on the 18-acre urban park adjacent to the new TD Place stadium and arena. The move took about a week as workers stopped it every five to 10 feet to recalibrate the wheels and ensure that the Horticulture Building arrived precisely at its new home. The building’s heritage designation was removed to allow for the move, but it will be redesignated. “The new location ensures the Horticulture Building will not be overshadowed by taller new commercial buildings on the site. Instead, it will be an architectural anchor for the new urban park, standing in a prominent position near the Rideau Canal. It will reclaim its role as a community gathering place, much as it was when it opened 100 years ago.” The Aberdeen Pavilion, among Ottawa’s most recognizable buildings, is Canada’s last large-scale exhibition building surviving from the 19th century. “The Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building now create a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.” Though Lansdowne is geared toward pedestrian traffic, there is an underground parking garage with about 1,300 parking spaces over approximately 11 acres, stretching from Queen Elizabeth Drive to Bank Street. There are two main vehicle entrances and exits to the garage – one from Queen Elizabeth Drive and a second off of Bank Street, near the stadium. Parking will service the retail component of Lansdowne as well as providing restricted on-site event parking. An entrance for residents only will

david johnston

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

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

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 farmers’ 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 Wright’s Prairie Style to Canada in this building’s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands. The building has undergone considerable change – a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling – 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 briefly 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 significant building but in November 2012 the move was successfully completed.

DAVID JOHNSTON

The Horticulture Building was moved 150 metres to the east to make room for commercial development at Lansdowne. The historic building now completes Aberdeen Square.

Keep your ticket for the ride home. • Park & Shuttle Service begins at least 90 minutes before the start of the game. • TD Place Park & Shuttle lots are located at Carleton University, Canada Post, Vincent Massey Park, and the R.A. Centre. For events with attendance of more than 15,000 people, the TD Place shuttle lots will be in operation. • STO shuttle service will be provided from: • Centre Robert-Guertin Park-and-Ride • Rivermead Park-and-Ride • Saint-Dominique Park-and-Ride • Between Labrosse station and de la Gappe station on the Rapibus • At bus stops along de la Carrière boulevard Take Transit • Your printed game day ticket gets you free transit service starting three hours before the event until three hours after the event on all OC Transpo and STO routes. • Para Transpo service is also free for event ticket-holders. Para Transpo trips must be booked as usual. • Enhanced OC Transpo service connects directly to TD Place at Lansdowne from transit stations across Ottawa. • From OC Transpo Park & Ride lots, take a 450-series route from Terry Fox, Eagleson, Strandherd, Fallowfield, Baseline, Greenboro, Place d’Orléans, or Trim.

One of Ottawa’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 Canada’s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturers’ Building. It was also one of Ottawa’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 Ottawa’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 – designed by Ottawa architect Moses C. Edey – 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 first seed fair at Renfrew Collegiate in 1927. Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec’s rural communities, the seed fair’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 first time, Ontario’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 floor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion – 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 Children’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 Canada’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 significant 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 Strathcona’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 first 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 Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the first time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the first 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 prominent Montreal

Connected to your community

businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds with a contribution of $100,000, (equivalent to more than $2 million in 2014), making the PPCLI the last privately raised regiment in Canada. Military connections to Lansdowne were wellestablished by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to fight overseas. It became home to The Queen’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 Queen’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.

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

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.

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,” Bryce said, in a Miracle League of Ottawa press release.

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 construc-

tion 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 kraftcelebrationtour.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.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Be honest with yourself, Aries. Sometimes change can be a good thing, so take a few days to sort through all of your options. You will be glad you did. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have to be clever to solve a particular problem this week. It will be challenging, but you are up to the task and your efforts will be their own reward. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, spend some time thinking about what you want rather than what others want for you. You may discover significant differences between the two, but do what makes you happy. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it may take some time to get back on your feet after a stumble, but you will get there much faster if you ask a few friends for support. You know the people who have your back. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Leo, very little can disappoint you or affect your mood. Enjoy the responsibility-free week with a free spirit. This is a great time for a vacation. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Think through all of your options before you act, Virgo. While something may seem like a good idea at first, careful thought may reveal some bumps in the road.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Work hard to earn a promotion at work, Libra. While you may need to take on more responsibility and work longer hours, the payoff will be well worth it. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if you feel you are at a crossroads, take your time to make the best possible decision. This is a significant moment for you, and it requires focus and forethought. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, supporting a family member who deserves it has you riding high this week. This support may be emotional in nature or even financial support if you can manage. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, family activities are getting in the way of business prospects, and vice versa. You may need to make a difficult decision in the near future. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, think through the pros and cons of speaking your mind at work. Your opinions are valid, but you run the risk of alienating certain people, and that should not be taken lightly. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Approach a problem that’s been puzzling you from a different perspective, Pisces. This new way of looking at things makes all the difference.
