‘My God, you are going to live!’ Anonymous donor pays for single Kanata mom’s life-saving surgery Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - A surprise donation of $128,000 from an anonymous man earlier this month will allow a single
Kanata mom to undergo the aggressive surgery that could save her life. “This was a God-given miracle,” said Stephanie Headley. “My life will literally be saved.” Headley was diagnosed with systematic scleroderma in 2001, an autoimmune disease that, in layman’s terms, is turning her to stone inside and out.

City fixes tree-protection mistake Part of urban expansion area had been left out of tree bylaw Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The city is extending forest protection after a recent illegal tree-cutting incident in Kanata North’s urban expansion lands. A July 9 decision of city council added land owned by Valecraft between March Road, the
rail tracks and south of Houston Drive to the city’s urban tree conservation bylaw. The bylaw is meant to prevent the cutting of trees greater than 10 centimetres in diameter without a permit on a property larger than one hectare. The charge carries a fine of between $500 and $100,000. The Valecraft land is directly north of a site
owned by Metcalfe Realty. The city recently laid charges against that company under the tree conservation bylaw after nearby residents reported hearing chainsaws and city staff discovered that a “significant number” of mature trees in a woodlot that was under study for possible natural heritage area protection had been clear cut. The June 12 tree clearing occurred during a known peak time for nesting migrating birds, according to a city memo. The woodlot that was affected extends north into the Valecraft site. The parcel, known as 1C in the urban boundary expansion study, was added into the urban expansion area during an Ontario Municipal Board hearing and the city had yet to follow up to ensure the tree protection applied there. All other parcels added to the urban boundary as part of Official Plan amendment 76 are already covered by the urban tree conservation bylaw, said Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy
development and urban design. “It brought it to our attention that when we’re looking at a map, we had to correct this one section that had been brought forward by the OMB hearing,” Snedden said. Snedden said the city didn’t add any additional non-expansion lands to the tree conservation bylaw as a result of the tree-clearing incident. But the event did alert city staff to their oversight, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “They became aware of it because of the tree cutting when they looked again at what was covered (by the bylaw) they said we should really have this covered too, because not all of the developers’ lands around there were included. “It does have a connection from the Greenbelt to the expansion lands, so they wanted to have any trees in there under some protection.” Judy Makin, a member of the city’s public advisory committee that is helping to plan for the urban boundary expansion, said she was pleased to see the city add that missing parcel. “This correction is a good thing, in my opinion, and I’m glad it was corrected before any further damage (ie. tree cutting) was done,” Making wrote in an email.

Kanata rezoning makes way for big-box stores laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - City council signed off on changes to allow stores more than three times the size of what was envisioned for the Kanata west area. City council went against advice from planning staff to amend the zoning bylaw to permit two stores with up to 3,600-square-metres of gross leasable floor area for two stores to be located at 345 Didsbury Rd. The concept plan for the area called for retail, but in smaller building up to a maximum of 1,000 square metres. The change makes way for two furniture stores: The Brick and LazE-Boy. The change is inconsistent with the city’s Official Plan – its blueprint for development – another reason staff recommended against it. The site’s owner, Taggart Realty Management, requested the change during the city’s Official Plan update last year, but was denied and appealed

the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson was in favour of the change because she said the plan for the area is 20 years old. Larger stores can help ensure the smaller stores survive and are able to continue serving residents in the area, she said. The two smaller buildings planned for the plaza are a McDonald’s restaurant and a Royal Bank.

Summer Seminars at Blackstone from Canada’s First Builder
11602 Blackstone Summer Seminar Series – July 3, 2014 Press Release
Monarch is Canada’s oldest new home builder with a deep understanding of the complex issues that go into making the purchase of a home. To help homebuyers navigate through the process, the respected builder was pleased to host a Summer Seminar Series at their new Blackstone community in Kanata just outside of Ottawa. The idea behind the seminar was to bring together experts and buyers to offer the benefits of expert information and have the opportunity to ask questions in a casual, one-to-one setting. The seminars were held this past June and featured gardening tips along with a financial seminar. Everyone enjoyed the many simple but effective tips that can be accomplished by every gardener. Expert gardener, Suzanne Patri from White House Perennials, explained that these days with the help of experienced garden
centre staff and a wide variety of seasonal and perennial plants to choose from, you don’t need a green thumb or expensive budget to have a gorgeous garden at home. Representatives, Ian Creighton, Alex Grison and Wendy Willard, from CIBC, were also in attendance to share helpful suggestions, insights and outline the many financial products available for families looking to buy. Entitled ‘Financing Your New Home’, CIBC’s presentation was very informative and did an excellent job of explaining the many financial options and services. A wide range of topics were discussed, with great questions being posed such as “Is this a good time to buy?” “What is the market like?” “Is this a buyers market?” The outlook on the market was very positive and with valuable savings incentives being offered by builders, like Monarch, there’s never been a better time to buy. After the talk, many attendees reported how helpful it was to learn about all the different options
and great products that are out there to help them finance their home such as the cash back mortgages, biweekly payments and more.
sit around the kitchen and great room in one of our homes and have an honest conversation with our customers, who were so appreciative to our speakers.”
Monarch hopes that the initiative can help simplify what many people call ‘the biggest investment decision of a person’s life’. Said Jennifer Draganic, from the Marketing Team at Monarch, “It was so nice to casually

ing scared of the deep end to swimming on their own.” Aside from running Ridgeside Swimming, WilcocksGynn is also the operations manager for Busy Bee Artists in Carp. She and three other young entrepreneurs launched the business, which specializes in art lessons, short courses, workshops, and art parties. Her advice for other budding entrepreneurs is simple: “Take advantage of the skills you have and keep in mind the skills you want to develop,” she said. And it never hurts to reach out to other entrepreneurs for advice. “Pay attention to planning, scheduling, replying promptly; always focus on the client.” For more information, visit ridgesideswimming.ca or email Wilcocks-Gynn at heatherwg@ridgesideswimming.ca.

Her main focus is providing lifeguard services in the Carp area, especially for large pool parties. “Everybody gets along really well,” said Wilcocks-Gynn, who just completed her first year at Queen’s University in the commerce program. “It’s exciting.” Wilcocks-Gynn first launched her business in 2012 after being selected as one of 14 high school students to take part in the Summer Company Program, a province-wide initiative that helps students launch and manage a successful business. In 2013, she received the silver award for Top Teen Entrepreneur in OttawaGatineau. She and her clients have found that her students benefit and advance much quicker from the one-on-one ap-
proach. “It gives them a lot more attention,” said Wilcocks-Gynn. “It also builds their confidence. It’s them developing their skills.” After failing swimming lessons twice at a public pool, a parent hired Wilcocks-Gynn to teach her child how to swim. The mother said she’d seen more progress in three days with Wilcocks-Gynn than in the entire two sessions at the public pool. Wilcocks-Gynn, who’s certified to teach all ages, usually teaches children ages four to 11 but a few weeks ago she taught her first adult how to swim. Currently, Ridgeside Swimming has about 25 students. Seeing them excel is one of her favourite aspects of the work, she said. “That’s a nice thing to see, when a kid goes from be-

A failure of leadership
T
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.

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 a young person’s game
T
he older I get, the more I realize that parenting is a young person’s game. Sorry for all of you folks in their late thirties who are having eggs frozen and hoping to meet Mr. Right sometime before 50. But for those of us plummeting toward early menopause with pre-schoolers, I have to tell you, the time is now. Or better yet, 10 years ago. I had my 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 negotiating, eating, making a mess and asking questions that require repetition. As one of my friends used to say, “the toddler’s the wild card.” In my twenties, I was so into it. I could read the same storybook 20 times an hour, seven days a week for six months. Now, I have a cut off. I’ll read the same storybook twice per day, maximum. After that, I outsource oral reading to the older siblings or I make the book disappear into the bookshelf for a few weeks. Answer questions? Sure. But where I used to make my repetitive answers sound fresh every time – “Yes, a caterpil-
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse lar! Yes, it’s brown and fuzzy! Yes, it’s a lovely caterpillar that will make a cocoon.” -I’m now kind of on autopilot. “Yes, caterpillar. Yes, caterpillar. 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 three-hour period. My boys were brought up on homemade apple sauce muffins that they helped make. My daughter eats Bear Paws. I figure the banana ones may have some nutritional value. But this column isn’t just about me. It’s also about my friends in their third decades now embarking on motherhood for the first time. It’s disrupted their lives. Oh sure, motherhood always disrupts, right? Yes, but the longer you’ve had the thrill of disposable income and late nights out with girlfriends and a regular pub schedule and the ability to sleep in on a Sunday, the harder it hits you when the little one comes along and just demands and demands and demands 24/7. I don’t have it in me to tell them that once they get past the sleep training phase,
the child will still require sacrifice beyond anything they’ve ever imagined. I’m not sure how to tell them that their clothing allowances have just been halved because Little Miss is going to require a fresh wardrobe every few months. I can’t bring myself to share the fact that schoolaged kids require a minimum of 11 pairs of footwear per year. If you don’t believe me, think about indoor/outdoor shoes, winter boots, rubber boots, sandals, water shoes, soccer cleats, dress shoes and the fact their feet grow constantly. I suppose the latter sentence is a good reason to wait to have kids. More financial stability typically comes with age. But you know what? I firmly believe it would be easier to just put the shoes on credit, get the childbearing out of the way early and then slide quietly into menopause while working your way up the corporate ladder, to pay off the debt for all those shoes. As it stands right now, if any of us older mothers make it to retirement, we’re going to be putting kids through university at the same time we’re trying to collect our pensions. But that’s a story for another column.

Week in Review Audit of the Orgaworld Contract
ADAM KVETON/METROLAND
As Vice Chair of the Audit Committee I am pleased that we delivered this audit promptly after the arbitration process was completed as I know many residents wanted to know the facts around how the previous council voted for this $140 million contract. I trust you will agree that the audit laid out the facts around the contract - warts and all. This council needs to take every necessary step to ensure the problems highlighted in this audit are not repeated however, when we look at where the problems are, I believe we also need to have context and consider how many things the city is doing very well. In our community since I was elected in 2010 for example, we have completed over $35 million in storm water upgrades to mitigate the risk of flooding for families - on time and on budget. We have completed over 30 million in hydro upgrades to reduce the blackouts that used to be so regular for many residents and businesses. These are just two examples of your tax dollars at work for you and being spent wisely. This Mayor and council have brought more accountability, transparency and more fiscal responsibility to City hall. We have cleaned up many of what I call ‘landmines’. This contract will also be dealt with responsibly now that we have the full picture of what happened. For example we have brought in a records retention policy that has consequences if the documentation such as what is missing for Orgaworld is not produced and kept. We have created more oversight of the programs, services and corporate decision making at City hall. We have ordered a re-evaluation of this contract that will look at cancelling or renegotiation of it if necessary. This time the numbers will be confirmed by the Auditor General before a decision is made. I hope we can all agree that no employee or councillor wants to be associated to an audit report like this one in the future, so it is sending a very strong message to every employee to make certain of the facts and be respectful of taxpayers money that we are entrusted to manage. As the Vice Chair of Audit, I can assure you that we are constantly looking at the various activities of the city for examples of what needs to be improved to ensure there are no more examples of bad management like this contract. As your Councillor, I will continue to do my best to make certain the focus is on value for your tax dollar in everything the city does. Celebrate our Community Heroes Please join me on Saturday July 19th from 2-5 pm to celebrate an exceptional member of our community, Laura Dubois. This family friendly celebration will be held at Don Cherry’s (320 Eagleson Road).

The nearly completed West District Library, located at 2500 Campeau Dr., emphasizes open meeting and lounge spaces, large windows and greater connectivity with the internet and nature.
West District Library books Aug. 6 opening Kanata branch features more space, improved wireless, emphasis on nature News - Kanata’s West District Library will open for business on Aug. 6, with the official 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 resulted in selecting Ottawa artist Chris Griffin’s art project from a public art competition for the library. Griffin’s project, completed this week, features the South March Highlands’ Blanding’s turtle, listed as a threatened species in Ontario and Canada. Griffin uses wet concrete as a medium to etch into, using an ostrich bone and nail as his
tools. Griffin created a mural featuring the turtles at the south entrance to the library. Some of the thirteen concrete turtle statues made by Griffin 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 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.
Expensive procedure offers patients 80% survival rate Continued from page 1
After undergoing various treatments, all of which have only helped to mitigate her symptoms but not stop the disease from slowly killing her, Headley decided to make one final push. In May of this year she started fundraising to pay for a stem-cell transplant – the closest thing out there to a cure. In the hopes of having the best chance at surviving the risky procedure, Headley decided to see a specialist, the Chicagobased doctor who pioneered the procedure on auto-immune diseases. The procedure costs $125,000 US. After the first few months of fundraising, Headley’s health was starting to fail. “The disease started to progress and I started to show more pain and more gastro-intestinal symptoms and more breathing problems,” said Headley. “I’m too sick to even run fundraisers, and people are starting to think about fundraisers in the fall, but (my family and I) are starting to think, ‘We’ve got to go soon.’” In two months, Headley, her four children and her parents had raised $13,000. That all changed on July 3. “I got a phone call,” she said. A man, speaking in a monotone voice, asked if he could drop off an anonymous donation in the form of a bank draft in the next 20 minutes. A few minutes later, the man knocked on Headley’s door in Katimavik, wearing a page-boy cap, large sunglasses and a jacket zipped up to his chin. “He shows up at the door and he says nothing to me,” said Headley. “Very straight faced, he hands me this envelope, and then I turn around
and hand him a thank-you card. “Just before he turned around to leave, I said, ‘Bless you,’ and he smiled … and then he turned around and left. Not a word, not one word.” After the stranger left, Headley opened the envelope and looked inside. “I couldn’t believe what I was looking at,” she said. “When I realized it, I collapsed on the floor. I started crying and screaming and yelling, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!’” Headley told her mom, then her dad, and after verifying the note was real, she told her children.
“I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. When I realized it, I collapsed on the floor. I started crying and screaming and yelling, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” STEPHANIE HEADLEY
The reactions were the same: “My God, you are going to live.” With $138,000 saved up, Headley has scheduled her procedure for Sept. 22. The pair of fundraising websites where people can donate to Headley will stay open for the next while to help her save up for travel expenses and medication costs that go above and beyond the $125,000 US treatment. The procedure works by stripping a patient of their immune system using chemotherapy, and then retrieving stem cells from the patient
which are then clear of the disease. The patient’s immune system is then re-grown using their own stem cells from the ground up. “They all but kill you to kill the disease,” said Headley. The treatment will take three months. With an 80 per cent chance of survival, Headley hopes to be home and nearly 100 per cent free of the disease by late December. “What a Christmas gift,” she said. The anonymous donor, whom Headley described as “my special angel,” took pains to conceal his identity. However, she believes he is a Kanata resident because the bank draft had been drawn up at a bank in Kanata. She also believes the man at the door was not a courier or someone famous, but a successful man with a big heart who came at just the right time. “I really want to thank God, and I really want to thank this man from the bottom of my heart,” said Headley. “He has given me my life back, but more importantly he has saved my children from an inordinate amount of pain and a horrible loss that would leave them changed forever.” She sees the donation as nothing less than a miracle, and one she hopes will inspire others to go on. “Anybody out there who is hoping, praying, waiting, maybe in the same position, whether it’s them or their child, have hope. Keep the faith. Miracles do happen,” she said. With an 80 per cent chance of surviving her procedure, Headley said there is no question about what the future holds. “I now know I will make it through this,” said Headley.

News - A young man from Kanata began an unexpected journey in late 2012 when he first 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. HOW IT STARTED
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. During that first trip, Palmer spent his time teaching computer lessons and would walk into town at night where he was met by groups of street children. “Every night I was getting to know these kids on the street and learning what a street child really was,” said Palmer. “I learned a lot of them are on the street because they are either homeless from being orphaned or just rejected by their families, or some of them have run away from poor home situations,” he said. “They grew in my heart a lot,” said Palmer. “I saw the need to help them, so I got really excited when I heard that Raoul has always had this vision to start a boys’ home.” With no background in social work and no university degree, Palmer helped Raoul start Kwagala Ministries that same year. By November, Kwagala was on official community-based organization in Jinja, and on Feb. 14 the following year, they had their first new family member. His name is Emma, and he is six years old. His mother died giving birth to him, and his father is an alcoholic, explains Kwagala Ministries’ website. Emma’s older brother, who lived in a different home, found Emma living on the street, and asked Mugosa and Palmer to take him in.

Kanata resident Robbie Palmer, right, is the co-founder of Kwagala Ministries, an organization that runs a boys’ home in Jinja, Uganda. Here, he takes a ride with Kwagala residents Joel, left, and Carlos. Emma was soon joined by many other boys with their own stories of fleeing to the streets, and Kwagala Ministries has been providing for them, feeding them, clothing them and paying for teachers so they can learn enough English to go to school. KEEPING IT GOING
Kwagala Ministries recieves no money from government, said Palmer, and relies on fundraisers and donations from various places to pay the several thousand dollars it costs per month to keep the boys’ home going. A large part of Palmer’s jobs at the organization, apart from working with the boys day-to-day, is keeping up the website, taking photos, posting videos and organizing fundraisers. Redeemer Christian High School in Nepean is one of a few schools that have done fundraisers for Kwagala. Palmer’s latest fundraiser is a four-onfour volleyball tournament on July 26. This will be the second volleyball tournament “That was way to easy!”
fundraiser Palmer has organized, with last year’s raising $1,700. Palmer hopes to have 32 teams for the event, which will take place at the beach volleyball courts at 4500 Lietrim Rd. Despite the fundraisers, keeping the boys’ home going has been a struggle at times, said Palmer, but overall the project has gone better than expected. Palmer and Mugosa were recently able to reunite two of their boys with their families in the hopes that their parents are ready to take care of them. Ultimately, that’s what they want to happen, said Palmer, though Kwagala will continue to check in with the boys. Like the boys he helps, Palmer has found a new home in Jinja with the Ugandan people, “Some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet,” he said. Though Palmer spends his time split between Canada and Uganda, working in Canada during the summer to support himself as he spends the rest of the year in Jinja, he hopes to find a job that will allow him to live in Uganda permanently. “I just clicked and saved 90%”
Did you WagJag and get in on the savings? “I can't believe I saved so much... ”

“It just seemed to appear for no reason,” said Serena. Through X-rays and a bone scan, doctors diagnosed her with osteosarcoma. “I think my parents were more afraid than I was,” Serena remembered. “I didn’t think I was going to die.” She was admitted to a children’s hospital in Halifax, where she received chemotherapy and blood transfusions and had her left leg amputated just above the knee. The treatments were harsh, she said, but didn’t stop the cancer from returning. Just one year later, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left lung.
“But I am lucky I survived.” On September 6, 2014, Serena will be participating in Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event and fundraiser for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. Her goal is to complete the 50 km event in honour of her grandmother, father and mother-in-law, who lost their own battles with cancer. lung.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cathy Stone, who handles publicity for the church, said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is bible surprises. The camp can hold up 50 children, but Stone said enrollment is usually somewhere between 30 and 40. The camp was developed through the United Church of Canada and aims to use play to teach children the stories
of the bible. Stone said the fee for the camp is $55 for the week. It runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and morning and afternoon snacks are available. Stone said mornings have scheduled activities like singing, games and crafts and then in the afternoon there will be free play. All the camp staff will be church volunteers. Stone said the Barrhaven church has been running the camp for more than three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the last three that the curriculum has come from the United Church of Canada,â&#x20AC;? she said. In addition to the curricu-
lum, the national branch of the United Church provides a teacher. But all the child minders are volunteers and the food is donated and provided by the church. Stone said organizers would also like to see children come to the camp from outside the congregation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting to the point where the grandchildren of church members arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite old enough to come yet,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have always invited people from the greater community, but this year we need them to sustain the numbers.â&#x20AC;?

Ceremonial Guard Lt. carries on family’s military tradition Second Lt. William McArthur discusses the tradition, the parade and surviving the uniform Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - A Kanata resident is proud to count himself among the Ceremonial Guard this year and participate in Canada’s most recognizable military unit. Second Lt. William McArthur from Emerald Meadows is one in a long line of military men, with his father having served for 26 years, and a grandfather and great-grandfather serving in the British Royal Navy. McArthur, 25, shouldered the family tradition when he became a reservist with The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. Having joined the Ceremonial Guard this summer, McArthur is now participating in one of Canada’s proud traditions as well. McArthur moved to Kanata in the early 2000s when he was in Grade 11, the year he first saw the Ceremonial Guard and the changing of the guard. “Everything they did was precise. It was in time with one another. It was perfect,” said McArthur. “It was a beautiful piece of art.”
“There is a sense of pride when you see all these people that came out to see you and see the link that Canada has with England still.” SECOND LT. WILLIAM MCARTHUR
Training goes on for six hours a day or more, teaching members how to move in unison with tremendous precision, all while withstanding the heat. The famous red tunic and bearskin hat uniforms do not make the task any easier, said Members of the Ceremonial Guard await inspection by Governor General David Johnston on July 1 at Parliament Hill. McArthur. The hat in particular is much lighter than it appears, he said, but is still very hot. “It adds about three degrees to the temperature when you put it on your head,” said McArthur. “The tunic itself is much hotter than I thought it was going to be … there is very little ability to move your arms and such, so you movements have to be perfect,” he said, though he concedes the tight-fitting wool tunic looks sharp on parade.

Like many Canadians, McArthur had the image of immoveable, unsmiling British sentries as his only conception of what the Ceremonial Guard did. But seeing the guard perform their drill really made an impression, he said. Ultimately, it was the history of the Ceremonial Guard that drew him to it. “My family is very much Scottish,” he said. “We value tradition, and in the Canadian Forces, being a part of the Ceremonial Guard is a huge tradition piece. “It was an exciting opportunity that I could take to be a part of Canada’s history.” The first Guard Mount took place on Parliament Hill on July 2, 1959, with the changing of the guard modeled after the one performed at Buckingham Palace in England. The ceremony is now the duty of more than 400 people from various Canadian Armed Forces units who volunteer for the duty. The position is open only to fully trained Canadian Forces members and is highly sought after. Once a member is accepted, more training awaits them. “You get taught basic drill when you first join the military, but for the Ceremonial Guard, you go through three weeks of intensive drill training,” said McArthur.

Kanata filmmaker premieres first feature-length movie Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroalnd.com
Arts - Politics. Action. Nazis. “The Scarecrow Club” is a film rife with controversy and tension, and is the first feature-length offering of local filmmaker Richard Groen. The Trailwest resident premiered the 126-minute film at the Mayfair Theatre on July 10, the culmination of 10 years working in Ottawa’s close-knit film community. The film surrounds the election of a modern Nazi party in Ontario after a wave of anti-Semitism. The film follows the growth of a resistance group that is convinced the vote was rigged and fears what the party has in store for Ontario. Groen describes the film as an

adult political thriller action film, and his biggest undertaking yet. The 50-year-old writer, producer and director began acting 10 years ago, gaining small parts in local films and learning from writers and directors. Groen was later inspired to tell his mother’s story living through the Second World War. That story became Groen’s first short film. Again with his new film, Groen said he drew upon the experiences of his parents. “They were both in Holland during the occupation of the Nazis,” he said. “I grew up hearing stories about what it was like.” It’s a narrative that fewer and fewer in Canada are familiar with, he said. “Living in Canada, nobody re-

ally 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 motives,” he said.

Toronto police nab suspect wanted for Ottawa prom-night murder Devontay Hackett, 18, scheduled to appear in court July 21 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - The arrest last week of the prime suspect wanted for the stabbing death of an Ottawa teen just hours after his high-school prom prompted a sigh of relief from the slain teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a weight off my shoulders,â&#x20AC;? said south Ottawa resident Danny Volpi, father of the victim, 18-year-old Brandon Volpi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a frustration thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on for a month and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally come to an end.â&#x20AC;? Toronto police arrested Devontay Hackett, an 18-yearold St. Pius X Catholic High School student, in Toronto on July 11 at 2:30 p.m. Ottawa police remain tight-lipped about how the arrest unfolded and in which part of the city he was apprehended due to investigative reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toronto police â&#x20AC;Ś actually positively identified him while doing their work, just patrol and stuff,â&#x20AC;? confirmed Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit. The suspect had had been on the run for more than a month since Volpi died of stab wounds on June 7. Ottawa po-
lice major crime investigators planned to question the suspect prior to his first court appearance on Saturday, July 12. He faces one count of second-degree murder and is scheduled to next appear in an Ottawa court by video on Monday, July 21. He remains in custody at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. Danny Volpi was at Bare Fax, a downtown strip club where he is a manager, when he got the call heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been waiting for from an Ottawa police detective just after 4 p.m. the day of the arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as he called I had this feeling (and) goose bumps on my arms and when he told me the news that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d caught Devontay in Toronto, I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, my God, thank you so much.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was scared the guy was going to go free forever.â&#x20AC;? The first person Volpi called to relay the news was his mother, who also was thankful that her prayers had been answered. Volpi had been in the process of helping to plan a barbecue to raise money for a reward that would entice someone to come forward with information on Hackettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whereabouts. Barbecue organizers had planned to meet Saturday, July 12, to formulate plans. Instead, Volpi found himself breathing a sigh of relief. Even with the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest, Volpi said it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the fact that his son
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his only child â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring my son back. Regardless, it hurts,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a great kid. I miss him so much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relief that justice has been served and now I can move on and stay strong and one day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there, one day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet him,â&#x20AC;? said Volpi, who plans to attend each day of the murder trial where he hopes to get the answers heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been seeking for more than a month. Investigators have said that two large groups of people were outside Les Suites Hotel at 130 Besserer St. on Saturday, June 7, when Brandon was stabbed. Police were called at 3:35 a.m. Brandonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classmates had heard the teen, whom many regarded as a gentle giant and a big brother to many, had been asked by a friend to walk him back to the hotel out of safety concerns. Students from St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and St. Pius X high schools had planned to stay at the hotel that night following prom celebrations. Major crime investigators are looking into the possibility that alcohol was a factor in the tragedy that unfolded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the cameras, the video surveillance of the street, the hotel,â&#x20AC;? said Volpi, adding that while the experience would be painful, he needs answers. In the aftermath of the tragedy, he has thrown himself into work to keep busy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been difficult, but
thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of support from friends and family,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ottawa major crime investigators, who have been leading the murder case, were equally jubilant over the recent arrest, made possible based on photos and information relayed in a Canada-wide arrest warrant that was issued by Ottawa police on June 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as the news came in (they) were very happy,â&#x20AC;? said Benoit. In the weeks following the homicide, Ottawa police suspected at one point that Hackett was still in Ottawa, but did not have concrete information on his whereabouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have knowledge through all crimes that either occur in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto, a lot of people hide or go to other cities which are close by,â&#x20AC;? Benoit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always going to see either criminals or persons of interest go to these neighbour-

City staff misled council on green-bin contract, audit finds laura.mueller@metroland.com
“In our view, there was not much to be gained in finding out what city staff were thinking at the time,” Hughes said. Kirkpatrick assured city councillors at a July 9 audit committee meeting that staff’s internal processes have vastly improved, ensuring proper documentation of research, business case analyses and financial implications. “The possibility of this failure being repeated has been removed,” Kirkpatrick said. The city pays at least $7 million a year to Orgaworld to process 80,000 tonnes of organic waste. It’s a threshold the city has barely been able to reach in the seven years since the contract was negotiated, leaving the city to pay to process some waste twice. The city has paid $4.7 million extra for unutilized capacity since the start of the contract, plus $3 million extra since the start of the contract to separately process leaf-andyard waste, Hughes said. If city staffers had properly analyzed data from pilot projects conducted between 2001 and 2005, they would have discovered a more realistic range of organic waste available for processing is around 21,000 to 57,000 tonnes a year, Hughes said – a far cry from the 80,000 the Orgaworld contract required from the start. Assuming a waste-diversion rate of 60 per cent – the provincial target – the city could expect to collect about 13,000 to 35,000 tonnes of kitchen scraps each year, Hughes said. Only after 19 years – almost the entire span of the 20year contract – would the city be able to deliver its required 80,000 annual tonnes, Hughes

Leaf-and-yard waste has been a point of contention throughout the contract. Hughes said there is no documentation that makes it clear that the city’s contract with Orgaworld included leaf-andyard waste, especially in the peak spring and fall periods,

whopping $103.77 per tonne it pays for kitchen waste, even when it’s mingled with yard scraps. Over 20 years, it means the city will end up paying a $67 million premium to include that peak leaf and yard waste as part of its minimum tonnage requirement instead of negotiating a lower rate.
although a legal arbitration just ruled the city is legally allowed to include that material in its quota. However, if the contract was negotiated properly, Hughes said, the city could have been paying as little as $15.65 a tonne for leaves and yard scraps, which was cheaper to process, as opposed to the
TRENDS
News - Blame for the botched green-bin contract lies firmly with city staff, according to a recent report released by the auditor general. Ken Hughes delivered a damning audit of the city’s organic waste contract with Orgaworld and called on the city to look at the possibility of getting out of the 20-year deal, detailing how the city has already overspent $8 million taxpayers’ dollars on it. Cancelling the green-bin contract would cost between $8 and 10 million, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, but Orgaworld would likely argue it’s higher. Mayor Jim Watson said the city will have to consider that option in early 2015 after staff conducts a more thorough review of what cancelling the deal would entail. The city will likely take the contract back to arbitration over assertions by Hughes and Kirkpatrick that Orgaworld does not seem to have the capacity to process 100,000 tonnes of waste. The city’s tonnage quota is based on that capacity, so if Orgaworld can’t handle that much kitchen and yard waste, it would give the city grounds to get the quota lowered. “When we looked at the facility and we know the volumes that were being processed while we were there, it wasn’t evident to us that they had an ability to handle the volume of materials that they are contracted to,” Hughes said. At the root of the issue was a lack of research, Hughes said. Gloucester-Southgate Coun.
Diane Deans said there are only two reasons city council could have been misled: total incompetence of staff or deliberate wrongdoing. Hughes said he looks for evidence of wrongdoing when he conducts an audit, but there was nothing to indicate misconduct. Hughes said there are “all sorts of reasons” that could have led staff to conclude the contract was the best option. “Because there was a lack of material for us to look at, we had no evidence to support (that theory),” Hughes said. “There was very little evidence for us to look at.” There was also no evidence of connections between city staff who worked directly on the project and Orgaworld. Hughes said his team found nothing in the scope of its audit that would have indicated criminal behaviour. Kirkpatrick said instead of a comprehensive stack of research justifying the amounts of waste included in the contract, the costs and the need for a facility of that size, he found only “meagre” emails and conversations between staff. A 100,000-tonne facility is just as cost effective as building smaller facilities would have been, the audit found, but that decision was simply a fluke and not based on proper analysis. “Frankly, staff got lucky,” Kirkpatrick said. Most of those staffers in charge of negotiating the contract have moved onto other jobs and are no longer with the city, Kirkpatrick said. Hughes said his team didn’t attempt to contact those former staffers as part of the audit.

New bridge connection applauded on both sides of Rideau River Riverside South and Barrhaven residents welcome access to amenities, shorter commute times Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - With the opening Saturday of the Earl-Armstrong Bridge that now connects Riverside South and Barrhaven, Mark Rogers is looking forward to shaving half an hour off his commute to work in Kanata. “It’s more time with my kids, home quicker to help with dinner, just more time at home,” said the Riverside South resident, who will return to work in September when his parental leave is finished. “I’ll be on it at 7:30 (a.m.) waving to my friends in Barrhaven on my way to work.” Residents on both sides of the Rideau River as well as politicians from all levels of government were on hand to celebrate the June 12 grandopening of the $50-million bridge, which was initially scheduled for completion in 2012, but suffered delays after the construction company went into receivership. Dean Prigent, who lives in the Chapman Mills neighbourhood of Barrhaven, is now looking forward to a 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 still a young community,” said Rogers. “So the advantages of being able to go across to Barrhaven for friends, for access to more
businesses and services, I think, is going to be a huge plus for everyone in Riverside South.” Others in their Riverside South community are equally excited about the opportunities the bridge will mean, while some have expressed concern the bridge could bring trouble. “They’re a little worried that maybe some of the Barrhaven crime might come over,” said Gilbert, adding that some Riverside South residents are also worried about increased traffic through the growing community as a result of the bridge’s opening. But Rogers said it’s too early to tell what the traffic impact will be. “Those are growing pains when a community gets bigger and we adapt and services adapt,” he said. “I think any time you’re improving the infrastructure around a community, it’s going to draw people to that community, which is only going to mean good things for local businesses and just growth and values of homes.” The bridge’s opening was also a long-time coming for Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches, who presided over the grand-opening celebration attended by Mayor Jim Watson, Foreign Affairs Minister and Ottawa West-Nepean Member of Parliament John Baird, NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre and Ottawa South Member

The Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge was opened to much fanfare on Saturday, July 12. Residents on both sides of the Rideau River, as well as politicians, applaud the $50-million structure, which connects Riverside South and Barrhaven. of Provincial Parliament John Fraser. The 143-metre-long bridge is billed at about $50 million, though the final tally won’t be known until the completion of a final cost-analysis, which will factor in the recovery of penalty fees owed to the city by the original contractor, Desroches said. The original $48-million price tag is being split three ways between municipal, provincial and federal governments. The company went into receivership due to financial difficulties while in the process of building the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge in 2012, the year the structure was scheduled to be up and running. Construc-
tion initially began in 2010. The structure now features two dedicated transit lanes, two cycling lanes, sidewalks on both sides, four traffic lanes and dedicated turning lanes. Desroches said it will cut response times for firefighters, police officers and paramedics and give transit riders new routes. Calling the bridge a “critical link,” Desroches said it is a perfect fit with Strandherd Drive, which was extended from Woodroffe Avenue to Prince of Wales Drive to the tune of $30 million, and with Earl Armstrong Road, which was upgraded for $35 million through federal-provincial government stimulus funding. Barrhaven and Riverside
South will continue to grow (and) “that’s why we can’t stop with this project,” said Desroches. “We need an O-Train extension, we need improved transit to Barrhaven, we need to work on Prince of Wales to deal with some of the pressures there, we need to work on the Airport Parkway.” The bridge would one day give Barrhaven residents easier access to an O-Train station on the outskirts of Riverside South if funding can be secured for an O-Train extension, Desroches said, adding the project is presently undergoing an environmental assessment. “I think the project offers a lot of bang for the buck,” he said.

Bridge will unite communities: Desroches Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Hundreds of residents gathered on the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge for its opening July 12. The much-anticipated $48 million bridge opened two years late, but will finally unite the communities of Barrhaven and Riverside South said Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the only the councillor who had to leave my ward to get from one end to the other,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we can put construction behind us and enjoy the benefits.â&#x20AC;? Desroches said business people like recent Diamond Jubilee
recipient Charles Goodfellow, who runs a Goodfellow Cleaners on Earl Armstrong Road and one on Strandherd Drive will save a lot of money in transportation and commuting costs with the bridge. Pierre Poilievre the MP for Nepean-Carleton said the bridge will turn a 30-minute commute into 3 seconds for many people coming into the west end from Riverside South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we are talking $6 in gas,â&#x20AC;? he said. Poilievre said there has been lots of things said about the new bridge, but thinks most of it will be forgotten in the wake of benefits to residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two communities will be-
come one,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding Manotick residents will also see decreased traffic flow due to the alternate route. Mayor Jim Watson thanked Desroches for his tireless work in advocating for the bridge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something he experienced firsthand when he was a member of the provincial cabinet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the first call I got after I took my hand off the bible was Steve calling about the bridge,â&#x20AC;? he said. Watson said the bridge, with its unique architecture will shine a spotlight on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forget about the Opera House,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our Eiffel Tower.â&#x20AC;?
The bridge will connect Barrhaven to Riverside South and Strandherd Drive to Earl Armstrong Road. It has dedicated lanes for pedestrians, cyclists and public transit. Opening day included a walking procession, a ribbon cutting ceremony and a first ride on an OC Transpo bus.

Riding the Rideau in honour of Dad By Tracey Tong
Cereal
Peter Croft has always been close to his father, Russell.
ue Tiss
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.

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.

Partners already lining up with interest in central library Investigate public-private partnerships to rebuild Main branch, board says Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
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 li-
brary 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

Naqvi wants main branch moved to Bayview Yards sit and where the city owns property, (and) what does that look like, obviously there are opportunities out there,” Harder said. Harder said other options need to be kept on the table. This includes 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 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

News - A new survey, Vision Sandy Hill, launched this month looking for input from area residents in an effort to better understand the needs of the community. Action Sandy Hill plans to utilize the answers as a strategic planning tool for the future and will help the planning committee shape its responses concerning development in the neighbourhood. The idea for the survey began when a group formed last summer to conduct a needs as-
sessment and start the Vision Sandy Hill project. Questions in the survey include what are the best qualities that describe Sandy Hill, why people choose to live in Sandy Hill, how often people use neighbourhood services, whether more neighbourhood services and amenities are needed, modes of transportation used in the neighbourhood, the importance of parks and green spaces, initiatives that are important to residents, issues of concern – which include noise, garbage, derelict properties and graffiti. The survey also asks resi-
dents to list, in order of importance, the issues identified as impacting the health of Sandy Hill, including the physical, social and economic health of the community. The survey also seeks socio-demographic information such as age, how many people live in a household, whether there are children living in the household and languages spoken, combined annual income and whether people rent or own their home, how many cars belong to the household, and whether off-street parking spaces are occupied by the household.

“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.” 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. That’s a city-owned property that is under redevelop-
ment 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 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 tran-

Ticket holders get first look at TD Place First home game against the Toronto Argos scheduled for July 18 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Sports - With golden scissors, a ribbon was cut on July 9 to mark not only the re-opening of the new home of the Ottawa RedBlacks professional football team, but also what officials say will be a step in the right direction for sports and entertainment in the city. “This afternoon, we cut the ribbon on a bright future
at TD Place at Lansdowne,” said Roger Greenberg, chairman of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, before thousands of seasonticket holders flooded the stadium to meet RedBlacks and Ottawa Fury players and test-drive their seats. Fans, many of whom wore RedBlacks team colours during the open-house celebration, were equally excited about the new stadium and the chance to meet their favourite players during an autograph session on the state-of-the art field. “This has been a longtime coming,” said Kathy Blackwood, of Kanata. She and seven other members of her family secured season tickets last October, when they first went on sale. She was thrilled with the seats they secured, which

are in the front row, directly behind the players’ bench, on the south side of the stadium. “I’m hoping they’re not too low for the kids,” she said, adding that it’s exciting to be able to sit so close to the players. Her son, Devaughn Blackwood, 11, has been counting down the days until the first sold-out home game, which is tomorrow (July 18) against the Toronto Argonauts. As a running back and wide receiver for the Kanata Knights football team, the 11-year-old said he has been counting down the days before he gets the chance to watch the professionals take to the new field. “It’s great,” said Devaughn, who planned to cheer loudest for quarterback Henry Burris. Breathing new life into the stadium has been seven years in the making, said Greenberg, adding that the stadium’s reopening years after cracks were first discovered in the south side of the stands wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many partners, including Ottawa city officials. “We have been looking forward to this moment for many, many years,” Greenberg said. He thanked fans from Ottawa and Gatineau for their support.

RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris signs an autograph for a young fan on the field of TD Place at Lansdowne Park during an open-house event for season-ticket holders on July 9. The special evening included a ribbon-cutting ceremony by city representatives and team and TD Bank officials that marked the grand opening of the sports complex. “They told us with their words and their ticket purchases that they wanted Lansdowne to be more than it ever was,” said Green-
berg. “They wanted TD Place at Lansdowne to be a sports and entertainment facility we could all be proud of, a
venue where we’d be able to share incredible moments with family and friends.” See I NEVER, page 45

City officials and representatives from the Canterbury Community Association and Urbandale Corporation, which paid for much of the splash pad, celebrated the grand re-opening of the park on July 11. The park now features $265,000 worth of improvements, which was covered, in part, by Ward 18 cash-in-lieu-of-parkland funds, including new swings, a play structure, new sod and trees, a reconstructed gazebo and additional seating.

“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.”

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

Health centre checks the pulse of Herongate Asset-mapping project to survey residents’ needs, concerns Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - If you live in Herongate and there’s a knock at your door this summer, it could very well be Nicole Li. She will be conducting a new 10-week initiative in the community that aims to solicit residents’ feedback on what is and isn’t working in what some say is a troubled neighbourhood. “I’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,” said Li, a community health worker with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. “So I’m really interested to hear what they would like to see in their own community, what would make it better for them.” 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 residents’ doors throughout August. “We are looking to reach out to the diversity of who lives here,” said Kelli Tonner, director of community services for the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, who is overseeing the project. “The concerns of seniors might be different than the concerns of young parents. I don’t know. We have to ask. But we are looking to speak to those groups.” The initiative is being funded with a $9,100 grant from Crime Prevention Ottawa. “Not that the area is the worst in Ottawa by any means, but it is an area in Ottawa that we had some concerns about in which there is not currently a collaborative crime-prevention approach,” said Nancy
Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, a local municipal board that brings together organizations, including the United Way, Ottawa police and school boards, among other partners, to promote community safety and deter crime. It’s the first time the study will be conducted in Herongate, and it is expected to result in a report on Sept. 12 that will identify needs, concerns and opportunities, resources, service gaps, a list of solutiondriven initiatives that residents will have identified and prioritized, and allow agencies to capitalize on what is working. “So it really is much more of a mapping exercise than it is simply doing focus groups,” said Leslie McDiarmid, executive director of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. Herongate came on the radar more than a year ago. “That’s a community where we have not seen a lot of concerted effort. It’s a community where – and I think that the police spoke to it (at a Herongate community safety meeting on July 3) – crime is not up per say, however there have been a few acute incidents over a fairly short period of time,” she said, adding the community has seen a lot of change in recent years, including a new housing landlord in the largely rental area. A similar initiative was first launched nine years ago in the formerly troubled neigbourhood of Banff-Ledbury. Since then, the No Communities Left Behind steering committee of more than 20 agencies has been working there to help residents make the changes they wanted under what has since become a citywide community development framework that is about building safe and healthy neighbourhoods. “You really need to know what’s really happening,” Worsfold said. “It’s not useful to reinvent the wheel; it’s not useful to respond to one perception or one incident.” For instance, some resi-
dents at a recent community safety meeting that was held in Herongate following a daring gun battle there on June 17 said they have seen drugs being bought and sold on their streets. “I would suspect ... that there is a drug issue because it is my experience and observation that community disturbance, violence and so on is often related to the presence of drug trafficking,” Worsfold said. There is drug trafficking happening in every neighbourhood. The question is how much and how bold and what they’re trafficking.” That’s where residents come in. “It’s extremely valuable because a neighbourhood-based crime prevention project can only succeed if the neighbours take it on,” she said. “The police can’t do everything, the social services can’t do everything, the neighbours have to want change and get involved and the way you are most likely to inspire people to get involved is by positively engaging them by listening and making sure that your responses meet their priorities.” Banff-Ledbury is an example of what can be accomplished when people come together, though positive change there didn’t happen overnight. “It took several years to see the tide turn, to see the investment, the change in ways of working, the way in which the community got involved, and things started to turn around,” said Tonner. Similar to Banff-Ledbury, beneficial change has emerged in other neighbourhoods, such as Vanier, Lowertown and Pinecrest-Queensway, where local community health and resource centres have done similar surveys of residents and agencies. During study periods between 2006 and 2011, crime went down in each community by 20 to 27 per cent because of a large number of community engagement initiatives that emerged, said Worsfold, adding that initiatives can range from fixing up parks to holding movies in the park to improving access to services, such as police and health care. With residents leading the
charge, positive inroads in their own neighbourhood are more likely to happen, she said. “It’s always the case that a very small number of people can create a lot of fear and a lot of disturbance and, frankly, danger in a neighbourhood,” said Worsfold. “And the vast majority of people living in that neighbourhood are decent, lawabiding, wonderful people, and we need to make sure that their quality of life is not negatively impacted by the few that are committing crimes.” What will emerge following the Herongate survey is unknown at this point, said McDiarmid, but it will likely produce a resident-generated action plan that is unique to that south Ottawa community. “Throughout everything that will come out of this it is about involving residents and tenants in helping them to make their community more vibrant and a healthy and safe place to live,” Tonner said.

Children celebrate after learning the Miracle League of Ottawa had won a $25,000 prize and a chance to win $100,000.
Miracle League baseball wins $25,000 Brier Dodge brier.dodge@gmail.com
Community - A project to fund a baseball diamond and play structure for youth with special needs has won a $25,000 boost and a chance to quadruple that figure. The Miracle League of Ottawa was awarded the $25,000 when it was named a finalist in the Kraft Celebration Tour. The grand prize in the contest is $100,000. The Desrochers family has acted as spokespeople for the project, especially 11-year-old Bryce, one of the project’s inspirations. Bryce was born with cerebral palsy, and plays sledge hockey and baseball in Ottawa. “I want to be the first person to play on the field when it is built,” Bryce said, in a Miracle League of Ottawa press release. The money will go a long way to contributing to the park’s $1 million price tag.
The city has committed to matching up to $500,000 raised by the charity organizing the project. The goal is to meet the million goal by the end of 2014 so construction can begin in the spring of 2015. “We’re short,” said the Miracle League’s Dough Thorne. “We want this park to open July 2015 and we’re a good chunk of change short.” He said they are currently in the tendering process to get an exact amount of how much the park, with a fully-accessibly ball diamond and playground, will cost. If they win the full amount from the contest, it would go towards the $500,000 the organization has committed to raising to make the Orléansarea project possible. The park is set to be built in the NotreDame 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.

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.
“I think you really have to have a passion for rescue to do it.” ASHLEY LADOUCEUR
“Our vet costs a month are about $10,000, pending no crisis, pending no major, major surgeries,” said Ladouceur, an Osgoode resident. “It’s pretty high end. We have typically between 50 and 60 dogs in rescue at any time, so it adds up.” Veterinarian bills include spaying and neutering, dental work, treatment for injuries and various illnesses, special dietary needs, pricey allergy medications and vaccinations, in addition to surgeries and other medical treatments, including amputations in some cases. The block party at the Riverside South Plaza, located at 665 Earl Armstrong Rd., is scheduled for July 19, from 1 to 5 p.m.

Proceeds to support three Ottawa-area dog and cat rescues
There will be a silent auction, face painting, pet-nail trimming, dog washes, a microchip clinic for pet identification, lemonade and snow cones and a professional photographer. There will also be a parade featuring dogs who are available for adoption. “I think a lot of the problem is people see dogs and ... their picture and unless you see them in person it’s hard to really know and really fall in love with a dog,” Ladouceur said. “So this kind of gives people an opportunity to see the dog and to kind of see their personality a little bit and get to know them.” Since it was formed in August 2012, Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue has rescued 300 canines. It relies on about 80 foster homes from Toronto to Montreal, though most are in Ottawa, from Stittsville to Orléans and Manotick to Gatineau. 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.

Cameras welcome at paranormal investigation Mysterious activity reported this month Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No photos exist of Ann Currier alive, but Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill guests now have a chance to capture her image from the other side. Organizers of the millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill employees reported hearing unexplained footsteps on the stairs.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a bit of an odd experience on the third floor of the mill,â&#x20AC;? said heritage interpreter Dan Little, who was with his colleague at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? Little said they called out to
see if anyone was in the mill, but there was no answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was getting louder and louder until it sounded like they stepped onto the top floor. And then it stopped and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back,â&#x20AC;? he said. Little said he was a bit â&#x20AC;&#x153;freaked outâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the experience has made him rethink his beliefs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider my-
self a believer (in ghosts) but now the seed of doubt has been planted,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard.â&#x20AC;?

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

Raring to go Vaughan Hannigan and Francis Sauvé were getting pumped up before the big launch of the annual Flotilla for Friendship canoe trip at Dow’s Lake on July 9. Six police departments and five Aboriginal youth groups from Ottawa spend the day on the water along the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa River in an event aimed at helping improve relations between the two groups. Participants met at Dows Lake at 9 a.m. and after grabbing a paddle, took the canoes out on the water, before ending up at Victoria Island.

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. 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.”
He underwent surgery, 12 weeks of chemotherapy and another extensive surgery. Complications landed him in ICU after going into respiratory arrest where once again the medical staff pulled him through and gave him the best of care. Fast forward many years and Stephen, who works with his wife Shirley on The Hanlon Real Estate Team at Kellar Williams in Mississauga, has just blown out 50 candles on his birthday cake. He’s an avid fitness fan
and has both a Boston Marathon and an Ironman under his belt. He’s also a proud dad of Jacob (19) and Sean (21). When his brother, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute Chief Operating Officer Robert Hanlon approached Stephen about raising funds for the Hospital where he had been treated nearly 30 years earlier, Stephen eagerly agreed.
at Ride the Rideau on September 6 to honour them. In its 5th year, Ride the Rideau has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital in the past four years. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www. ridetherideau.ca.
He still credits his surgeon, Dr. Patrick Murphy, Dr. Stewart (who still works at TOH), and his team of nurses for saving his life. “They were just remarkable,” said Stephen, who will be riding 100 miles

Woman recovering after consuming suspected rave drugs Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Ecstasy has been confirmed as the drug taken by a 20-year-old Ottawa woman who was put in an induced
coma after she suffered liver problems as a result of the illicit narcotic. The woman, who is now awake and recovering in hospital, and a 19-year-old female from outside the city, con-
sumed drugs at separate rave events in the city between June 29 and July 1. Toxicology testing on the 20-year-old has come back positive for methylenedioxy-Nmethylamphetamine (MDMA)
or ecstasy, which is an illegal synthetic drug. While investigators initially said at the outset of the case that they suspected the deceased 19-year-old likely also took ecstasy, they are now
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was way to easy!â&#x20AC;?
saying it will be three to six months before toxicology testing will provide answers. Foul play is not suspected in either case, but police are continuing to look into both incidents. Investigators are remaining
tight-lipped about the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identities and where the drugs were consumed. Anyone with information on either case can call the Ottawa police central district investigations team at 613-236-1222, ext. 5166.

Nectarine blueberry slice a tasty way to start the day
INGREDIENTS
• 250 ml (1 cup) butter, softened • 425 ml (1-3/4 cups) granulated sugar • 4 eggs • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) vanilla • 675 ml (2-3/4 cups) all-purpose flour • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) baking powder • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 2 to 3 nectarines, sliced • 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries • Icing sugar
PREPARATION
Line a 39 by 26 centimetre (15-1/2 x 10-1/2 inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl using elec-
tric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar for about one minute. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla until smooth. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt, and beat into a creamed mixture at medium speed until blended. Spread the batter into the prepared baking sheet. Top it with nectarine slices, pressing them slightly into the batter. Scatter the blueberries over top. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until it’s lightly browned and a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Dust the top with icing sugar. Tip: Sprinkle top with 125 ml (1/2 cup) of sliced almonds before baking.

Councillor wants to bend rules for youth donation Thompson wants $8,000 of office budget for youth centre Laura Mueller
quest back to council in August, he said. It was just last year that city council agreed to put a limit on how much taxpayer money from their office budgets they can hand out to community causes. The limit is now 3.5 per cent of the budget, amounting to $7,748 a year.

News - Retiring Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson wants to empty his office budget coffers to help the Osgoode Youth Association out of a financial pinch. Thompson was set to ask city council to bend its spending rules to allow him to donate $8,000 from his office budget to OYA, but he withdrew the motion during the last city council meeting before the summer break, on July 9. He will bring the re-
“We have to have a plan in place so they don’t have to come back year after year” COUN. DOUG THOMPSON
“This has been done by other councillors, if there is a specific cause that you want to give money to,” Thompson said. “I just want to say, if you check back over the 13 and a
half years I’ve been here, I’ve given back over $1 million from my budget to the city. So to ask to go over the limit for a cause in Osgoode Ward, the Osgoode Youth Association, which the city recreation people won’t support, I think is justifiable.” The centre lost its annual $30,000 grant from the United Way two years ago and has run through its savings, said OYA’s director, Nicole McKerracher. Thompson said OYA has a shortfall of about $35,000 this year and he’ll be working with the city’s manager of recreation, Dan Chenier, to see if his budget can include funds for the youth centre. Otherwise, Thompson might ask to dip into the city’s fund for unforseen expenses. See LONG-TERM, page 74

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND
Scotiabank staff Sue Toll, left, Natalie Hilborn and Duane Morris, along with Hilborn’s son Cameron Hilborn, joined Osgoode Youth Association director Nicole McKerracher on July 8 to hand over the $5,000 cheque owed to the organization after Scotiabank volunteers helped at the annual ‘Goode Run’ on May 10. The event raised $13,780 – more than ever before.
Long-term funding needed: councillor Continued from page 73
But McKerracher said Thompson is helping the association negotiate a $60,000 annual contribution from the city. The city already contributes almost $11,000, mostly towards costs associated with the building, but McKerracher said it makes sense for the city to pony up a larger share of the centre’s costs. It would be cheaper for the association to provide youth services on behalf of the city, rather than create city-run programs, she said. “The city doesn’t provide any services for youth in Osgoode,” she said. “It creates a real challenge for them, a real sense of isolation.” Thompson said he’d like to see OYA find ways to be
more financially sustainable. “We have to have a plan in place so they don’t have to come back year after year,” Thompson said. OYA runs two fundraisers every year and is also seeking corporate sponsors, McKerracher said. The centre served 762 youth last year. OYA’s drop-in programs can see anywhere from three to 30 youth come to the centre on any given evening and many of them are regulars, McKerracher said. Thompson had originally intended to ask for the spending exemption to apply to all retiring councillors, but he said after discussing it with staff in the mayor’s office and city officials he is withdrawing that and will focus his efforts on OYA alone.
