COVID-19 forces cancellation of Manotick Women’s Day

By Jeff Morris

The novel coronavirus pandemic has claimed yet another event.

Manotick Women’s Day, one of the largest annual social and retail days in the village, has been cancelled.

The day, which would have been modified from previous Women’s Day events, was scheduled for Sat., Nov. 7.

“As we know, COVID restrictions are constantly changing and are very fluid with many moving parts,” said Manotick BIA Executive Director Donna Smith.

“Women’s Days 2020 is being cancelled. With the new restrictions imposed by the City while Ottawa is in a RED zone, we need to halt eventing. Upon further investigation, I think it is prudent to follow the City’s

and province’s bylaws about events, as is the case now with many of the other BIAs around the City. Also some of our MBIA businesses will still remain closed to the pubic.”

Woman’s Day was created by the Manotick BIA in an effort to attract potential shoppers, both locally and throughout the region, to experience Manotick as a daytrip shopping destination for the holiday season. Smith is hopeful that shoppers will still experience everything the village has to offer as they prepare for the Christmas season.

Smith said last month that she was impressed with both the efforts being made by businesses to keep their employees and customers safe, and also by the amount of support the community has shown to local busi-

nesses.

“Everyone is taking the proper precautions to ensure safety for their customers and employees,” Smith said.

“There isn’t a mad rush for PPE (personal protective equipment).

Everybody went through this back in the spring, so the businesses in Manotick are more prepared for what they are facing today.”

Smith said that the support of the community has been invaluable for Manotick businesses.

“People are committed to supporting local businesses here more than they are some other places,” Smith said. “A lot of it is because the businesses are locally owned, and the customers build relationships with the staffs and the owners. You don’t see that in larger markets and bog box stores.”

Manotick Women’s Day’s women’s lounge was a popular spot during last year’s event. This year’s event has been cancelled.

Saunders to challenge by-law fines issued for annual Frightfest Mark Saunders said he is going to fight the more than $3,500 in fines issued by Ottawa Bylaw and Regularity Services for the annual Frightfest Halloween attraction at Saunders Farm in Munster.

The fines were issued because of the determination that Frightfest was an outdoor event, meaning only 25 people could attend the event at one time. Frightfest is held on a 100-acre farm.

“As a pumpkin farm during the daytime, we are not restricted to gathering rules,” Saunders said in an interview with CFRA as reported by CTV’s Josh Pringle. “But, as a Frightfest at night, we are restricted to gathering rules and this is where there’s confusion.”

Saunders made the comments on CFRA Now with Kristy Cameron.

The week before Hallow-

een, Saunders switched gears and turned the event into a drive-thru experience.

Saunders received four tickets from Bylaw for $880 each. All were for having more than 25 people at Frightfest when Bylaw showed up.

He received the first ticket Oct. 16, and then received three more Oct. 21 for the crowds gathered over the three days leading up to that date.

Saunders had planned for a drive-thru experience as an option, and had to execute the plan to keep the event alive.

The switch to a drive-thru Frightfest for the final two weekends cost him an estimated $100,000. The farm’s revenue is already down 70 per cent this year.

“There isn’t anything specific about farms in any of the legislation, and when the gathering laws refer to a

place, that’s it 25 people in a place and that place is not defined,” Saunders was quoted as saying in the CTV story.

“So it could be downtown Bank Street in a parking lot or on a 100-acre farm in the western edge of Ottawa, in the countryside.

“From our standpoint, we were following the guidelines as a place of business.”

Brendan Roy started a petition on change.org to lobby the provincial government to halt the closure of restaurants, and to get City of Ottawa bylaw enforcement officers to stop targeting Saunders Farm.

Despite having to be viewed through a car window, the pigmen with the chainsaws remained one of the scariest part of the Halloween Fightfest at Saunders Farm.

Ghamari announces new high school in Riverside South

By Charlie Senack

A long-awaited public high school in Riverside South is finally going to be a reality.

Carleton MPP Goldie Ghamari made the announcement Tues., Oct. 20.

The high school will accommodate Riverside South public school board students. While Riverside South has had a Catholic high school (St. Francis Xavier) for several years, its public board students have been bused to places like South Carleton High School in Richmond and to Merivale High School in Nepean.

As Richmond is fasttracked to grow with housing developments being built by Cardel, Caivan and Mattamy, the planned high schools in Riverside South and Stittsville will help keep South Carleton’s property from becoming a sea of portable classrooms.

The new high school in Riverside South will cost $42 million to build and will house roughly 1,500 students and 40 licensed childcare spaces once it opens. Shovels are expected to be in the ground sometime soon with the land at Spratt and Earl Armstrong already secured.

Ghamari, who has made getting a public high school built in Riverside South her number one issue since being elected two years ago, says she’s “still in disbelief” that the school is finally being built after years of advocating.

“These are not just in-

vestments in bricks and mortar, our government is investing in the future of our children by creating a better learning environment,” said the Carleton MPP in a statement. “By building these schools we are providing students in Riverside South, Stittsville and across Ottawa with access to modern classroom settings and the latest technology which will lead to new opportunities and lifelong success.”

The following day, on Wed., Oct. 21, Education Minister Stephen Lecce and Nepean MPP Lisa MacLeod announced two new elementary schools will be built in Barrhaven South — one with the French public education board and the other with the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

“These are really important investments and I really think they are going to make a difference,” said Lecce. “This is a win at the end of the day for families within Riverside South. The fast-growing community has not seen a school built in a decade; this is going to make a difference.”

MacLeod, who has advocated for a school in the community since she was an education critic nine years ago, said the Riverside South community is seeing exponential growth. With 10,000 homes already built in the community, that number is expected to double in the next 10 years. Because of that, the community will see light rail transit before most parts of the city.

Carleton MPP Goldie Ghamari announced a new public high school for Riverside South.

“Part of the issue with needing a high school in Riverside South helps with the overcrowding issue, because it will ease with the Vimy Memorial Bridge and the ability for people to go back and forth,” MacLeod told the Manotick Messenger in a new conference Wednesday.

Lecce added this recent news proves the government is committed to investing in Ottawa, saying the announcement was fast tracked due to new needs forced upon by COVID-19 and the support from the community.

“Normally in the province we will announce a list of projects posed for renovations or new

schools, historically in the spring — in the send half of the fiscal year,” he said.

“I think what we demonstrate as a government is

that is that we are going to make sure that the Ottawa region receives the finding and equity they deserve.”

This is all part of a

MESSENGER EDITORIAL

Focus on economic growth and millennials will be okay

Much ink has been spilled on the narrative that millennials and other future generations of Canadians may experience lower living standards than preceding generations. A recent study on wealth inequality, however, challenges this narrative.

In reality, from 2010 to 2019, millennials have enjoyed greater increases in wealth than other generations of Canadians. So why does the federal Liberal government (and its governing partner, the NDP) want a wealth tax?

In Does Canada Need a Wealth Tax?, Philip Cross, former chief analyst at Statistics Canada, finds that “wealth inequality” in Canada has diminished over the past decade. The share of wealth (assets minus liabilities) held by lower-income groups has increased while the share held by upper-income groups has decreased.

Of course, most millennials would rather have wealth equal to the boomers, but with a strong economy, they will get there. If anything, the data reveal great prospects for millennials. They’re not doomed, like so many falsely claim.

What they need, and what our government should focus on, is the right economic environment – one that leads to higher rates of economic growth. More growth, with more opportunities and higher wages for young Canadians, is the surest way to a more prosperous future. It’s not by penalizing wealth through increased taxes.

As the Cross study spotlights, wealth taxes have many adverse effects, including discouraging savings, investment and entrepreneurship, and therefore stunting longterm economic growth.

Historically, wealth taxes also provide little government revenue. They tend to exclude most taxpayers and the rate can’t be too high otherwise wealthy households simply shift their wealth to other jurisdictions. And wealth taxes are expensive for governments to collect (lots of bureaucrats and tax collectors).

In Canada, housing and pension assets comprise the largest sources of household wealth. That’s why it’s so concerning that the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), a Crown corporation, gave the University of British Columbia $250,000 to “research solutions to housing, wealth, and inequality” including research on a federal home equity tax.

Rather than promoting economic growth, the federal government seems distracted by a false notion of wealth inequality in Canada.

Unfortunately, the government’s mix of higher taxes, more government involvement in the economy and indebtedness hasn’t produced a robust economy (preCOVID-19) as promised. Gross domestic product and income growth have slowed, business investment has collapsed, and there are worrying signs for entrepreneurship.

Changing course will help create the conditions for a more robust economy that will provide young Canadians with opportunities and higher wages. Do so and they will continue to save and indeed become wealthier.

We’ve all been caught up in the winds of change We have all been caught up in the winds of change.

The spinning wheel, the coal oil lamp, the gramophone; all now antiques.

The little red schoolhouse is gone from the landscape and big schools have taken over to provide education on a greater scale.

The village blacksmith is no more (except for one I know); whipped cream no longer comes from the cow but a pressurized can.

THis week,

THIS MONTH

by Larry Ellis

Many of the changes have been in the right direction; they have lessened work, opened new vistas of opportunity and made life more exciting and chal-

lenging.

But wait a minute - look at the things that are as old as the hills, as enduring as time and as changeless as the blue sky. The laws of nature, like the rocks, do not change; the sun shines and the rain falls as it did in the middle ages. There is a time for sowing seeds and a time for reaping the harvest, so constant is nature that a tornado, a hailstorm or an ice storm is

called a freak and makes the headlines. We are all swept by the same emotions as our forefathers, like death that parts lover from lover is bitter anytime or place.

In our human relations – the most difficult of all – the old guidelines still stand. The rebel boasts he can do as he likes – kick up his heels, sow a few wild oats. Rules spell restriction to some people;

moral principles have about them the essence of common sense, not repression.

All we can do is carry out our life here and now with the intention of giving a gift to another generation. We can strive to remain true to what we see as timeless values, we can work at establishing a legacy for tomorrow, but we can only do this successfully when we are living

fully today.

Most of us wish for a world of peace and simplicity. We yearn for a life that focuses on what is important and what is beautiful – a life that is different from the rushed, cluttered existence that our culture promotes, especially in the present times of Covid -19.

Everyone – wear a mask - wash your hands – social distance.

We must protect and support our local businesses A day doesn’t go by that we don’t hear the refrain, “Shop Local, Support Local.” There are so many reasons that always make sense. In a pandemic, when so many of our locally owned and operated businesses are struggling to survive, local customers’ are a lifeline.

Taxpayer-funded aid packages from the federal and provincial governments have provided some relief. City hall deferred 2020 property taxes on eligible local businesses, but it’s not enough. Ottawa will lose 20-30 percent of its local businesses by the time this modified

shutdown is over, says Mark Kaluski, Chair of the Ottawa Coalition of Improvement Areas. His association represents over 6,200 brick-and-mortar businesses in Ottawa, including over 2,800 restaurants. Those are businesses that invested in our communities, employ local people and pay local taxes. Losing them will devastate our local econ-

omy. So what to do?

I suggest the City of Ottawa exempt local hardhit commercial businesses that have been forced to close their doors or have been dramatically impacted by the lockdowns from the 3 percent tax hike proposed in the 2021 budget.

It would mean their tax rate would be the same as 2020. It’s not a lot, but it does decrease their tax burden, and at this particular time, every bit helps. If it helps saves jobs, it would be worth the effort. If we can go further and find a way to reduce their tax burden for 2021 even further, than I believe that is worth

examining.

This idea has yet to be floated, and I can hear the arguments now. “That’s revenue the city needs, especially now when our financial foundation is shaky.”

Mayor Watson continually challenges us to find ways to cut spending to fund new programs and projects. Freezing departmental spending would be one solution. Maintaining the existing staff across the City costs the taxpayer roughly $40 million annually. That is no new hires, no new services or programs. If departments had to find these savings with-

in their existing budgets, these funds could be used elsewhere.

Currently, OC Transpo’s ridership is down by 70% and losing $4 million each week. The taxpayer cannot sustain that kind of loss indefinitely.

As the Prime Minister said recently, this pandemic “sucks.” Yes, it does, but it also has given us an opportunity to do things differently – because we have to. Let’s not pass up this one chance to do what’s right in the eyes of our businesses and residents.

We have an opportunity to fundamentally change

how government delivers service to its citizens, save money and help protect local jobs from being lost forever. Let’s not let old attitudes hold us back.

It’s time to take risks, to support local business and protect our essential services from future financial uncertainty.

MANOTICK MESSENGER

Too early to see impact of latest COVID restrictions

Welcome to November.

We are still in this. These coming months will be a challenge, but we will get through it and we will keep supporting one another in any way that we can. Some words from Dr. Vera Etches that were provided in an update to Council to begin this column: As you know, on October 10th, the Province moved Ottawa to modified Stage 2 restrictions for 28 days. It is still too early to see the full impact of these restrictions, however in the week following (Oct 11-17), there were 615 people diagnosed with COVID-19 - lower than the previous week (746).

We are seeing COVID-19 affecting all age groups across the entire city. Our concern is that we currently have 64 ongoing outbreaks, the majority of which are in long-term care homes, retirement homes, hospitals and other congregate care settings.

Over the past two weeks, there were high levels of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 with an average of 50 people in hospital per day. We also saw an increase in deaths, with 19 deaths in that time period.

Moreover, we are seeing the virus transmit, not just among social gatherings and restaurants, but also and amongst sports teams. Any social interactions where distancing and masking are not being implemented put people at risk. For example, for adults aged 40 and over, workplaces are the most common exposure setting after household and healthcare institutions.

COVID-19 is hard to slow down given the asymptomatic infections it can cause and the transmission than can occur in the 2 days prior to onset of symptoms. We continue to support the public to be aware of how contagious it can be and what they can do to help prevent transmission.

WARD REPORT

by Councillor Scott Moffatt

OPH’s main goals throughout the COVID-19 response are to minimize hospitalizations and deaths, to reduce societal disruption by keeping schools open and to mitigate economic impacts. It is critical that together, we turn the tide on the recent spikes in people testing positive. To turn the curve again, measures must be aimed at preventing COVID-19 transmission; testing and tracing will not be enough given that these approaches limit spread after infections occur. We have the power to turn the curve in the right direction by sticking to basic COVID Wise guidance: limiting close contacts to those you live with, wearing a mask and wearing it properly, washing your hands, and staying home when sick.

Having said this, the City takes the illegal burning of prohibited materials very seriously.

tions/requirements that must be adhered to. In an open air fire, only wood, tree limbs and branches are to be burned (unless otherwise specified under the additional requirements for specific open air fires as found on the application form). Prohibited materials include grass, leaves, garbage, pressure treated or creosote treated wood, or any combustibles that produce toxic fumes other than those produced by the burning of untreated wood, tree limbs or branches.

If you notice prohibited materials are being burned, please contact the City’s Fire Dispatch at 613-232-1551 to register a complaint and have the fire department respond to extinguish the prohibited fire.

The City of Ottawa is extremely unique given its geographic make-up.

North Gower residents for their patience as the Church Street bridge was closed over the last sixteen weeks. It reopened on scheduled. Thanks also to the contractor, National Structures, for their professionalism and efforts in getting this project complete with as minimal disruption as possible.

Now, with the road reopened, I want to provide a reminder that Church Street is still a 40km/h street. It is still a school zone. Residents there enjoyed the quiet of the closure, especially the children. Let’s keep them in mind as we go back to using Church Street on a regular basis.

MACAW receives funding for seniors program The Manotick and Area Centre for the Arts and Wellness (MACAW) has announced that it has received funding from the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors Program for its “Building Intergenerational Connections for Seniors” initiative.

MACAW was founded in 2019 to complement many of the excellent programs and activities that are already in place within the village, to serve as another attraction for our beautiful village, provide activities for our growing active senior population and to contribute to the vitality of our main street. It is significant to note that the Manotick area currently has a larger proportion of people age 60 years and over than the City of Ottawa

- 23.8% compared to the City’s 18.9%. The City’s demographic trends data projects that Ottawa’s population will continue to grow annually by 5% and the senior cohort will increase by 8.4%. This data clearly indicates that we need to prepare for an increasing seniors’ population.

Originally, plans were underway to use the funding from the New Horizons for Seniors Program to provide a variety of arts and wellness activities in the building of Manotick United Church.

This is in keeping with the building’s heritage as, for many years, it served as the Community Centre for the area, providing a basketball court and stage for local performances. In recent years concerts and community dances have

been held at the church at an affordable cost. With the Covid-19 outbreak the project submission was re-worked to reflect this time of pandemic. Until restrictions are lifted this funding will be used for MACAW to provide a number of virtual activities free of charge to our website viewers.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Hiromi McPhail’s Tai Chi classes are available on the website calendar http://www/. manotickmacaw.com and on Thursdays and Fridays Yoga classes led by Leanne Dumas are available virtually, as well.

“This schedule enables seniors to participate in classes at their convenience in the comfort of their own homes during this time of Covid-19 restrictions,” explained

Catherine McVie, CoChair of MACAW. Catherine also remarked that “Part of our intent is to showcase our village of Manotick and the people who live here, as we have so much to be proud of. To that end, the website will feature Tom Plant leading us in his Side by Side sing-a-long, Scott Voelzing will continue with his Piano chats and we can look forward to Larry Ellis and his walking tour of Manotick.

We also have a strong emphasis on volunteerism.

Originally, we thought that community volunteers would be acting act as ushers for concerts or hosting workshops. It has become so much more than that already! We look forward to the time when we can get together in person. In the meantime,

we are grateful to the volunteers who are helping us record and deliver our activities and events in this virtual world.”

The website http:// w w w. m a n o t i c k m a c a w. com also has videos from the recent Watson’s Mill 5525 Concert series. You can enjoy a great jazz performance from Miguel or roots tunes from the Ian Tamblyn and Lynne Hanson shows Terry McGovern is looking forward to producing 10 concerts featuring world class performers on behalf of MACAW. Ideally, these shows will be enjoyed both live and virtually.

Suzie Vinnick/Tony D (MonkeyJunk) are booked for Novemebr 29. This is possible because the performance space at the Manotick United Church has been redesigned in or-

der to meet COVID protocols.

Safety measures such as hand sanitizing stations, distance markers on the floors and assigned seats more than 3 meters apart will make it possible to accommodate a very small, by invitation, audience once we return to Phase 3. Everyone knows the showbiz rallying cry, “The show must go on”.

It is usually a reference to a crisis with performers, but in this insidious COVID induced virus, it will be with or without a live audience.

MANOTICK MESSENGER

Lest We Forget

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Why November 11?

Remembrance Day in Canada is a day to commemorate members of the armed forces. Remembrance Day is observed each year on November 11 because that marks the official end of World War I in 1918. On that day, the Germans officially signed the armistice, an agreement that officially put an end to the fighting in WWI. That’s one reason why Remembrance Day is often referred to as Armistice Day. Though the day has a significant connection to World War I, it also honours the men and women who fought for Canada in World War II, the Korean War and those who continue to serve in the military.

Over the years, more than 1.5 million Canadians have fought for their country and to defend the rights and freedoms of non-Canadians as well. Among the Remembrance Day traditions is the wearing of poppies, which are worn as the symbol of remembrance and a reminder of the blood-red flower that grows on the former battlefields of France and Belgium.

‘In Flander’s Fields’ was written by a Canadian, John McCrae, a doctor and teacher who served in both the South African War and the First World War. He died from pneumonia on January 28, 1918.

Vi

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

MVCA submits 2021 budget requests to City of Ottawa

The Manotick Village and Community Association has submitted a number of requests for consideration in the development of the 2021 municipal budget. The majority of our requests relate to roads and pedestrian safety and some of them have been on our list for a number of years.

We are again asking for funding to be allocated to provide for sidewalks on Main Street from Eastman to Century Road, on Eastman Avenue, and on Currier Street. We have also requested a second pedestrian crosswalk on Main Street, possibly at Beaverwood and Main.

We continue to push for the construction of the extension of Earl Armstrong more quickly than planned and for the creation of the roundabout at Prince of Wales and Bankfield.

The Association is also asking for the extension of the median on Bridge Street at Main street to deter left hand turns out of the mall (which are illegal), a dedicated bike lane on Bridge Street, the use of bollards on the sidewalks at Bridge and Main – particularly on the eastern corners – to deter trucks from cutting across the sidewalk, and a speed camera at Manotick Public School on Bridge Street. We are continuing to work with Councillor Moffatt on finding ways to reduce the truck traffic on Bridge Street and hope that funds will be allocated to any proposed solutions.

Details on the budget, along with a survey you can complete, can be found here: https://engage.ottawa.ca/draftbudget-2021 . You can also submit a question and see the questions and answers that have been posed to date. There will also be an opportunity to provide input when the draft budget goes to Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee for review on Thursday, December 3.

Beryl Gaffney Park – Next steps

The MVCA is on board for a proposed Task Force to look at how to move forward with additional amenities to Beryl Gaffney Park. The Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association has proposed bringing together the surround-

VOICE

by Grace Thrasher, President, Manotick Village and Community Association (MVCA)

ing community associations as well as Friends of Beryl Gaffney Park and representatives from the Beryl Gaffney family.

They have suggested a process that includes a community survey on possible amenities, a review of the current Master Plan and the creation of a Ten Year Development Plan. They are hoping to have the process completed within 9 months.

Details on the proposal can be found here: https://www.mcpra.org/beryl-gaffney-park

COVID

The requirement to wear a mask in public spaces, or when you are unable to social distance, has been extended to 2021. Ottawa Public Health continues to recommend that you limit close contact with anyone to the members of your household and avoid travel

outside of the City. You can always get the latest information about new testing centres, changes in protocols and answers to COVID questions at Ottawa Public Health.

Our local businesses continue to need our support! It is time for us to pay it back and shop local, either online or in person, and order takeout from your favourite restaurant.

Additional development on Borrisokane in

Barrhaven

The second phase of the manufacturing operation on Borrisokane is up for approval at the City. The second phase would include a two-storey office building plus parking to be constructed next to the manufacturing building. The whole project is located on a former sand and gravel operation.

PHARMACY Q: Will the flu shot help protect against COVID-19 as well?

A: No, the flu shot will only protect against 3 or 4 influenza viruses.

However, this year, with the novel coronavirus circulating during flu season, it is particularly important Pharmacist to get a flu vaccine so that we can keep our health care system available to treat COVID19 (to which there is no vaccine yet). Pharmacists are providing flu shots again this year so call your pharmacy ahead of time to ask about their procedure and schedule.

Continue to keep friends, family and the community safe by practicing good hygiene - wash/sanitize your hands, wear a mask, limit your outings, maintain social distancing, and stay home if you feel unwell. Be patient, kind and understanding during this unprecedented time.

South Carleton residents have heart for KDH

The Kemptville District Hospital has been serving the healthcare needs of the community since 1960.

Over the years, the Foundation has seen an increase in the number of donors from Manotick and surrounding areas, thanks to the excellent care provided by the hospital.

With access to 24-hour emergency room care and new services such as heart stress testing, patients now have access to care, closer to home. KDH is also provincially recognized for its knee and hip replacement surgery program with patients coming to Kemptville from across the region. Recently, the hospital in collaboration with four local community partners opened a new Covid-19 testing assessment and treatment Centre on the Kemptville College Cam-

pus.

Foundation Board members Mike Gaynor and Dean Usher both have deep roots in Manotick and are passionate about their role to raise funds for the hospital.

“Having grown up in Manotick and now raising my own family in the community,” said Usher.

“I have come to appreciate the Kemptville Hospital and all it has to offer families in the area. We are fortunate to have such a respected Hospital so close and I am thrilled to support KDH by helping to raise funds through the KDH Foundation.”

The hospital has also been a big part of life for Gaynor, who grew up in Richmond.

“I have been a business owner (Back on Track Physiotherapy) in Manotick for 18 years,” he said. “Hav-

ing grown up just outside Richmond, I attended school with many people from Manotick. This coupled with playing on local sports leagues has led to many lifelong friendships in the area. As a Foundation Board member for many years, I thank you for your support in raising funds for new equipment.”

It has been a challenging year for everyone and the Foundation’s only fundraiser for 2020 is Catch the Ace; an online progressive raffle.

As much as the pandemic has altered our lives, the day to day visits to the ER, surgeries, and health needs of our community continue.

Tickets for Catch the Ace start at $5.00 and the jackpot is now over $7,000!

If you are in a position to do so, please buy tickets online at kdhAce.ca.

Beryl Gaffney Park: How we can collectively move forward

By Anne Robinson, Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association (MCPRA) is grateful that the proposed ‘fenced-in’ dog park is no longer being considered for Beryl Gaffney (BG) Park, as originally put forward in June 2019.

We’re also grateful that the $400K used to enlarge BG Park, is coming from city-wide cash-in-lieu funds, and NOT being taken from the BG Park development account. Finally, we’re very pleased that after 20+ years, a component of the 1999 BG Park Master Plan, a picnic area, is currently being designed with construction targeted for 2021.

Councilor Meehan, in her Manotick Messenger col-

umns of September 11 and 25, called for ‘a refresh’ of the BG Master Plan. She also called for collaboration between Friends of Beryl Gaffney Park and MCPRA. While appreciative of this suggestion, we propose a more comprehensive approach – the establishment of a Task Force that includes a representative from each of the following stakeholder groups (listed alphabetically): 1. Beryl Gaffney Family 2. Friends of Beryl Gaffney Park 3. Half Moon Bay Community Association 4. Hearts Desire Community Association 5. Manotick Culture, Parks & Recreation Association 6. Manotick Village & Community Association

613-738-0330 grand.ca

7. Nicolls Island Community Association 8. Riverside South Community Association 9. Stonebridge Community Association 10. West Barrhaven Community Association City of Ottawa and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority staff, and landscape architectural experts could support and be resources to the Task Force; Councilors should not participate on the Task Force as they have ultimate decision-making authority.

To facilitate a Master Plan Refresh, the Task Force would need a sense of what components of the original Master Plan Ottawa residents currently support, as well as whether there are any fresh ideas. To this end, the Task Force would cre-

ate a comprehensive survey, post it on the City’s website, and solicit city-wide input.

The aim would be to receive at least 500 responses from a wide cross-section of residents.

With these results in hand and publicly posted, the Task Force would: • discuss and adjust the current Master Plan accordingly, based on both community input, design principles and park development expertise; • create a ten-year Park Development Schedule, using the available BG Park development funds and leveraging additional resources; • broadly and publicly circulate the updated Master Plan and Park Development Schedule; • take the final Master

Plan and Park Development Schedule to Community and Protective Services Committee and Council for approval, where all Councilors would have an opportunity for final input.

The above should be completed within 6-9 months.

To move forward, the

community needs further and final input, transparency, a timeline, clear process, and formal Council endorsement and commitment.

Beryl Gaffney Park is too precious and too significant to not be developed, or to be developed piecemeal without a vision and Master Plan.

City commemorates Luigi Caparelli with naming of pathway On Saturday, October 17th under a beautiful Fall afternoon, Mayor Watson and Councillor/Deptuy Mayor George Darouze joined the members of Luigi Caparelli’s family and close friends as a bronze plaque was unveiled commemorating his name to an important link between two communities at Longhearth Way and Longshadow Street in South Point.

(Manotick) Luigi Caparelli immigrated to Canada from Italy in 1963. He overcame language barriers and worked his way through university, the first in his family.

Luigi began his professional life as a public servant. During his government career, he worked in newly implemented legislation involving rent control.

He formed the Canadian Federation of Apartment

Associations committee and was the President of the Eastern Ontario Landlord’s Organization.

This led to Luigi founding his own company, Goldkey Property Management.

Luigi Caparelli was known as a man that was always there to help anyone in need. He volunteered his time to many organizations and sport clubs. He was generous, giving, caring and a kind individual.

He was an avid volunteer in various organizations. He passionately fundraised, reducing barriers for less fortunate children to participate equally in sports.

Luigi’s substantial contribution has enabled the development of the pathway from Osgoode to Manotick which otherwise would not have been pos-

A pathway was dedicated to community builder Luigi Caparelli last month.

sible.

Through this Commemorative Naming of the Luigi Caparelli Pathway, everyone will be able to forever remember his con-

tribution.

This dedication would not be possible without the

strong and on-going support from Councillor/Deputy Mayor Darouze and

close friends of the family that advocated for this commemoration.

It was a beautiful morning to put up speed boards in Emerald Links Golf Course community. I want to thank Jim Butcher president of the Emerald Links Community Association for bringing the issue of speeding  to my attention. This location was deemed a high priority due to the amount of extra vehicles who don’t live in the community traveling to the Emerald links golf course to enjoy a round of golf.

I look forward to working together with the Association and the Emerald Links com-

lose one thing while looking for another. I know it’s not like usual pet peeves, when it’s about what other people do, but I am unique and know how to annoy myself sometimes.”

Part-time Work: “I work part-time in the Home Meal Replacement and Deli department at Greely Foodland, I also work part-time in the fall at One World Bazaar.”

Favourite

Subjects:

“My favourite subjects are the sciences and maths.

I’m currently taking physics, even though it’s a very difficult course, it’s really interesting to learn about the relationships between things from a different perspective. At the moment I’m also learning French. I love the language, because it is so beautiful. In the future it will benefit me because I can communicate with so many people I wouldn’t be able to otherwise. I’m excited about the upcoming quadmester because I get to start taking chemistry, which is one of my favourite subjects, and functions.”

What do you enjoy reading for pleasure?

“I enjoy reading National Geographic magazines. They are always so colourful and provide me with a lot of information that I would not have learnt otherwise. I also have hopes one day to be able to travel the world, so this gives me an insight

into what is out there to explore.”

Who is your favourite author? “Dr. Seuss. His books were always a part of my childhood. They seem to bring back a sense of nostalgia, and they’re always interesting and never boring. It’s still hard to read, with all the tongue twisters that you trip over and laugh at.”

What is your greatest accomplishment?

“I don’t have a singular accomplishment that is considered my greatest accomplishment.

Every day I aim to make a positive impact. If that’s just making someone smile, or learning a bit about a world issue and learning how to assist, that is my greatest accomplishment.

Maybe one day I will get a promotion, or pass an exam that I believe is so impactful to my life, it would never be the same had I not accomplished it. But for now, it’s the smaller daily accomplish-

est accomplishments.”

Will Petschenig creating a special legacy for his late father

A Heart Like Mine documentary features Will Petschenig’s journey from pro hockey player to children’s grief councillor to honour his father, former CFL player and local minor hockey and lacrosse coaching icon Dan Petschenig

By Jeff Morris Anyone who has ever lost a parent or loved one will often think back to that last moment together.

For Will Petschenig, the moment he says he will never forget happened on Oct. 27, 2013. His father, Dan, had made the road trip from Manotick down the 401 to watch his son play junior hockey for the Oshawa Generals.

“That was the last game he ever watched me play,” Petschenig recalled. “It was a Sunday night in Oshawa. I remember after the game he gave me a big hug and told me how proud he was of me.

That’s the last time I ever hugged my dad. It’s a pretty good memory to have.”

Two days later, Dan Petschnenig suffered a heart attack and passed away. His sudden loss was a shock to all who knew him. He left a trail of saddened and shocked friends from his childhood in Manotick, to his university football days with the Carleton Ravens and his professional days with the Toronto Argonauts, and to the countless people he helped and mentored as a minor hockey and lacrosse coach and volunteer.

Simply put, Dan Petschenig was larger than life.

Will wanted to do something

to honour his father.

“My father was always about giving back to the community,” Petschenig said.

When Petschenig was traded from the Generals to the Saginaw Spirit in 2015, he switched his jersey number to 65. That’s the number his dad wore with the Ravens and Argos.

Petschenig, then a 20-year-old defenceman, then came up with an idea and created Will’s Warriors.

It was a program that he created to invite a child who had lost a parent to a Spirit home game. For each home game, “Will’s Warrior” and his or her family were invited to

Dan Petschenig, the goalie on the right, was a minor hockey player in the area who played for the Metcalfe Jets Junior B team. The former CFL player went on to be a coach and mentor for minor hockey and lacrosse in the community.

the game with free tickets and a VIP meet and greet experience with Petschenig and members of the Spirit.

“I wanted to do something to honour my Dad, and making kids happy was the best way to do that,” Petschenig said.

While in Saginaw, Petschenig launched his foundation called A Heart Like Mine.

More than 125 families have gone through the program.

One of the biggest things for Petschenig was to make sure that he could help these children and families enjoy quality family time together during the difficult time of grieving their lost loved one.

Since the program’s inception, Petschenig has volunteered 100’s of hours by attending Children’s Grief Centers across the United States. He has volunteered at the Children’s Grief Center of Great Lakes Bay Region in the Saginaw, Michigan area and at Erin’s House in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He has also toured Valerie’s House in South West Florida to see the differences and what each grief center has to offer.

He has become a certified children’s grief specialist.

This has all been volunteer work.

His goal is to open Canada’s premier children’s grief centre called A Heart Like Mine in the Durham Region.

A documentary has been made on Petschenig’s jour-

ney with his charitable work.

It was scheduled to begin streaming Oct. 29, the anniversary of the death of his father.

“It shares my story and my plan for what I’m doing here in the Durham Region, the place I now call home,” Petschenig said. “After losing my dad, it’s been tough for me to come home to Ottawa because it brings up a lot of emotions and it just makes me miss him even more. I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by some amazing people in the Durham Region.”

Petschenig is excited about the documentary and how it will help his father’s legacy grow.

“It even made me cry watching the documentary trailer,” he said. “I’m excited to see the full documentary and everything that happens after that to help make a difference in the world in honour of my dad. He always gave back and he always had time to help others and make them the best versions of themselves. That’s what I’m trying to do in honour of him. Hopefully I can keep his legacy going forever.”

Because of his family’s Swiss heritage, Petschenig got an unusual opportunity after graduating from the OHL. He signed with Geneve Servette of the Swiss Hockey League and was able to play as a Swiss national rather than as an im-

port. There is a limit as to how many North American imports teams can have on their roster.

He took the A Heart Like Mine program with him to Geneva.

“It was one of the coolest experiences of my life,” Petschenig said of his three years in Switzerland. “Our team was coached by Chris McSorley – Marty McSorley’s brother – and it was basically a North American team. It was a lot of fun and it was definitely a Canadian atmosphere. We had 10 or 12 North Americans on the team that first year, whether it was being a Swiss-Canadian like myself or an AmericanSwiss or an import.”

Petschenig said it was an easy transition for him and it was an exciting challenge to play in one of the best leagues in the world outside the NHL. “There are so many good players there,” Petschenig said. “You see this year in the NHL, Roman Jossi, a Swiss defenceman, was the best defenceman in the world. The league itself is amazing. To be able to live in Switzerland is amazing too. It’s such a beautiful country like Canada.”

Petschenig said that because of his family’s Swiss heritage, fans there gravitated to his project and the story of his father.

MANOTICK MESSENGER Petschenig continues from page 30 “The support I had from all the fans over there was incredible,” he said.

“People still send me messages to this day thanking me for everything I did for their club. It was an amazing atmosphere to play in front of those European fans every night.”

One of his biggest thrills in Switzerland came when he was selected to play for Team Canada in the annual Spengler Cup hockey tournament. Petschenig came home with a gold medal as Canada won the tournament.

“I was able to where the Canadian maple leaf on my chest and represent my country, and to have 65 on my back,” Petschenig said.

“It’s a pretty cool memory to have – something that will last forever. To be able to represent my country and wear my dad’s number and

win the Spengler Cup, one of the oldest tournaments in the history of hockey.”

Petschenig came back to North America last season. He was in the Chicago Blackhawks’ system, but came down with bacterial pneumonia during training camp. He was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, and after recovering, spent the season with their ECHL affiliate in Fort Wayne, IN. Petschenig played in the final 26 games of the season for the Fort Wayne Komets before the league was shut down due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Through his own journey both on the ice and in the communities he has represented, his father has stayed with him in mind and spirit.

He said he has a lot of treasured memories with him, but what he remembers the most is how people loved to

be around him.

“He was everything to me,” Petschenig said. “He was my role model and my best friend. I was so fortunate to be able to call him Dad. At the end of the day, he was my Superman. Just the things that he did for my siblings and I and the way he loved us unconditionally, he was certainly a special person.”

Even though Petschenig

was playing in Oshawa, his father rarely missed games.

Petschenig called his father his biggest supporter.

“I remember my first ever OHL exhibition game,” Petschenig said. “It was in St. Catharines and we were playing the Niagara Ice Dogs. My sister had a hockey game at 10:30 a.m. in Orleans. After her game he drove from Orleans all the way to St. Catharines

to make a 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon, and then he drove all the way home to Ottawa after that. That’s just a short glimpse of how he supported me.

“He spent a lot of time in the vehicle not only with me but with my siblings as well.

At one point all four of us were playing hockey during hockey season and lacrosse during lacrosse season.”

The Petschenig family was a fixture in the Nepean Knights lacrosse program as much as they were in the local minor hockey scene.

One of the players influenced by Dan Petschenig as a coach and mentor was JP Kealey, who graduated from the Knights program and turned pro with the Buffalo Bandits.

“Dan was and still is one of the most influential coaches I’ve ever had,” Kealey said. “He preached to us at a very young age to play hard, protect yourself, protect your teammates and play the game with integrity.

I often found myself in the penalty box at a young age, I loved being physical and that got me in trouble and frustrated me.

“I still remember to this day, Dan pulled me aside one time when I was in tears after being ejected from another game for a hit. He told me ‘I don’t care how many penalties you take, if you play within the rules, or you’re protecting your teammates I can live with the consequences. Never let anyone take away your physicality and change your game’.

“That’s something that stuck with me then and still does now. It’s moments like those that leave a lasting impact on athletes, and with Dan there were many.”

While Dan Petschenig left a lasting impression on the community as a coach and mentor, he was a lifelong friend for many of his football teammates at Carleton. Will has maintained many of those friendships in the seven years since his father’s passing.

“Obviously, some of my dad’s best friends, like Barry Bassingthwaite,

Kevin McKerrow, Lorne Watters, John Hurley – they all come to mind,” Petschenig said. “I try and stay in contact with them as much as I can. I sent them an update and wished them a Happy Thanksgiving and it’s good to reconnect with those guys. They all had such an impact on my dad’s life and they have been so supportive of the Petschenig family as well. The football community, like any sports community, is truly special.

It’s so amazing to stay in contact with all those people who were once friends of my dad. It’s always great to hear some of those college football stories. They were certainly the life of the party at any parties my dad had.”

As a Raven, Dan Petschenig was known as a prankster. One of his most memorable moments off the field came during a Ravens rookie party in the team’s locker room. He showed up wearing overalls and led a goat on a leash from his family’s farm in Manotick into the party.

But as fun as he was as a teammate, he was even more devoted to the success of the program. He was largely responsible for the creation of the weight room inside the locker room in the 1980s.

He was also remembered as a heart-and-soul teammate. It’s a trait that he instilled in his children, both in sports and in the community.

“One of the most important things my dad ever instilled in me was to be a good teammate,” Petschenig said. “I’m not the most skilled hockey player in the world but I think just being a good person and a good teammate has allowed me to extend my professional career. It’s opened different opportunities for me too. I’m very fortunate for everything my Dad did to help for me to become a better person and I’m fortunate for the way I was raised by him.”
