A communiy with a rich history STAR STAFF — The community of Orléans is made up of a collection of neighbourhoods in Ottawa’s far east end.

Neighbourhoods such as Convent Glen, Orleans Wood, Chapel Hill, Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook and Chatelaine Village were formally part of the municipalities of Gloucester and Cumberland. In fact, the border between the two former cities ran through the centre of what, over the years, came to be known as Orléans.

The name Orléans was given to the community by Jean-Théodore Besserer who was the first postmaster of Orléans in 1860. Besserer was born on the Île d’Orléans in Québec and so he gave the fledgling community the name of his native island.

Originally, the name “Orléans” comes from a city of the same name in France which is the birthplace of Joan of Arc. The community started out as the

Parish of St. Joseph de Gloucester in 1860. The first known settlers to the area were François Dupuis, a veteran of the War of 1812, and Joseph Vézina, also known as Viseneau who arrived in the area about 30 years before it became a parish. Other early settlers included the Major, Besserer and Duford families. The first Anglophone families to settle in the area were the McNeelys and the Kennys.

In 1860, Father Alphonse-Marius Chaîne was appointed resident priest of the new Saint-Joseph d’Orléans parish.

Construction of the first church was completed in 1885.

It had to be demolished in 1920 for structural reasons and a new church was erected on the same site over the next two years.

In 1922, the Police Village of Orléans was formed with a Council consisting of three volunteers elected to preserve peace, health and public safety. At that time, the

village was part of Gloucester Township.

In 1930, the Police Village borrowed $3,800 to build a sidewalk from Champlain Street to Cousineau Street. And in 1957 the Village Council successfully petitioned to have the name of Ottawa Street changed to St. Joseph Blvd.

The Police Village was eventually abolished in 1974 and Orléans was left divided one half in the municipality of Gloucester and the other in the

In 1954, the Villa Saint-Louis, a nursing home for about 90 sisters of the Grey Nuns of the Cross (Sisters of Charity of Ottawa), was built close to the Ottawa River. Two years later, in May 1956, a CF-100 fighter aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force fell 30,000 feet crashing into the Villa at about 700 miles an hour.

Fuel and ammunition aboard the jet fighter exploded and shook the entire village of Orléans. The building burst into flames leaving 15 people dead including 11 nuns and the two pilots. The exact cause of the accident was never established.

The community was hit by a second tragedy in February 1982 when the Orléans Hotel, on St. Joseph Blvd. was completely destroyed by fire.

The fire started at 2 a.m. on an intensely cold night which resulted in many fire hoses being frozen thus creating difficult conditions for the firefighters.

The Jardin Royal seniors residence now sits on where the hotel used to be.

In its earliest days – and right up until the mid-20th century – Orléans was a predominantly French-speaking community. In 1849 the population of the area was approximately 50 people.

Within 50 years the area would see the construction of its first hotel, its first post office and its first school. But it wasn’t until the 1980s that the community really boomed.

During the early to mid ‘80s, Orléans was the fastest growing community in Canada. Over that period the population

almost doubled. Today, Orléans is home to more than 115,000 inhabitants. The commute into Ottawa can take between 15 minutes from Trim Road in the east end of Orléans during non-rush hour periods to about 30 minutes during rush hour.

The community has a number of stateof-the-art recreation facilities such as the Ray Friel Centre and the Millennium Sports Park, modern library services, a wonderful arts facility in the Shenkman

Arts Centre, top notch secondary and elementary schools, a network of strong minor sports organizations, a thriving arts and culture community, dozens of parks including Petrie Island, and kilometres and kilometres of bike paths.

Orléans is currently represented in the House of Commons by Liberal MP Andrew Leslie who is currently serving as the Government Whip. At the provincial level, the representative is Liberal MPP Marie-France Lalonde.

STAR STAFF — In the east end, we have city councillors who work day in and day out to make sure the community gets its fair share.

Between LRT, road repairs, parks, and development, the “East End Block” has been the driving force behind the positive changes our community has seen in recent years.

The east end is divided into four wards, each with a municipal representative: Orléans Ward Councillor Bob Monette, Cumberland Ward Councillor Stephen Blais, Innes Ward Councillor Jody Mitic and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward Councillor Tim Tierney.

Councillor Bob Monette is responsible for one of the city’s largest wards, Orléans.

It comprises the central core of the suburb, including Fallingbrook, Queenswood Heights, Orleans Wood, Convent Glen, Chatelaine Village and Springridge.

Monette was re-elected to a third term during the 2014 municipal election. He was also named the Deputy Mayor.

Monette said he wasn’t ready to give up his seat just yet, because of the different projects he would like to see come to fruition. He has been a driving force in bringing several festivals to the east end, including Carivibe and the Orléans Ribfest, and he has been working hard to bring economic development and jobs to the local community. To that end, he has been working with the developer Brigil to build an employment hub at Petrie’s Landing III. Councillor Stephen Blais was reelected for his second term in 2014. He governs over Cumberland Ward, which takes in the former municipality of

Cumberland as well as South Fallingbrook, Avalon and Notting Hill.

Blais’ biggest accomplishment during the past term was to secure $8 million in funding to install an artificial turf at Millennium Park, create four additional soccer fields and a splash pad.

He also secured the necessary funding to complete parks in Cardinal Creek and Avalon.

Since first getting elected to city councillor in 2014, Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic has commissioned a study to extend Brian Coburn Blvd. to Renaud Road, and he secured an important study to renovate and expand the aging Blackburn Arena.

Innes Ward is a large district encompassing Blackburn Hamlet, Chateauneuf, Chapel Hill, Chapel South, and Bradley Estates.

Besides his responsibilities as a city councillor, Mitic was also appointed as the city’s first Sports Commissioner.

Councillor Tim Tierney was first elected to represent Beacon Hill-Cyrville in 2010 when he defeated long-time councillor Michel Bellemare.

Tierney has the additional responsibilities as chair of the Ottawa Public Library Board which is currently going through the difficult process in building a new central library.

One of Tierney’s proudest accomplishments was in having the aging Potvin Arena replaced by the state-of-the-art Richcraft Sensplex.

It is clear that even though all four councillors come from different community backgrounds, they stay behind the mandate that joining forces and working together as a team is key to make sure the

From left to right, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward Coun. Tim Tierney and Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic, Mayor Jim Watson, Cumberland Ward Coun. Stephen Blais and Orléans Ward Coun. Bob Monette have all worked together to ensure the second pĥase of LRT will be extended to Trim Road. FILE PHOTO east end does get their fair share.

The perfect example of their efforts has been in convincing their council colleagues to extend light rail to Trim Road as part of the second phase of the massive project.

Construction of the extension, which will run down the middle of Hwy. 174, will begin as soon as Phase 1 is completed in 2018.

All four east end councillors aim to be as approachable and helpful to their constituents as possible and they often rely on their staff to make sure issues raised by their constituents are address in a timely manner. Their office numbers

and e-mail addresses are as follows...

Federal and provincial representatives STAR STAFF — Not only are our municipal elected officials a united team, our federal and provincial representatives are also on the same page when it comes to working hard for the east end.

Since first getting elected to the House of Commons as a member of the Liberal Party in 2015, Andrew Leslie has been splitting his time between attending local events and fulfilling his duties as the Chief Government Whip and parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs.

In the latter role, Leslie has been charged with building ties with the Trump administration south of the border.

Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde also has a lot on her plate.

Besides representing her constituents in the provincial legislature, she must fulfill her duties as Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services and the Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs.

Both members have recently been able to make massive funding announcements

for projects that are massively important for the local community.

Leslie and Lalonde each played a key role in getting their respective governments to commit $1.125 billion to Phase 2 of the LRT project, including the all-important extension from the originally planned terminus at Place d’Orléans to Trim Road.

The two also made a joint announcement on June 29 committing $1.1 million to the construction of the Convent Glen North Storm Sewer project. The federal government is providing $750,000 to the $1.5 million project, while the province is writing a cheque for $375,000. The City of Ottawa is paying the balance.

As Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, Lalonde will oversee the construction of a new regional detention centre to replace the current facility on Innes Road which is often overcrowded. The province has yet to unveil either a new location, or a timeline for the project.

Andrew Leslie and Marie-France Lalonde were joined by Orléans Ward Coun.

Bob Monette for the announcement of federal-provincial funding for the Convent Glen North Storm Sewer project on June 29. ROGER LALONDE PHOTO

Perhaps they have learned their lesson from the never-ending fiasco over the Orléans Family Health Hub that was first promised by former Premier Dalton McGuinty in 2009.

After waiting nearly eight years for the health care facility, which will be located on Mer Bleue Road, Lalonde says the community can expect to see construction begin in 2018.

Since the provincial legislature rose for summer recess on June 1, Lalonde has been busy meeting with constituents.

More than 150 people attended her annual Strawberry Social on June 27, and many more stopped by her tent during the Petrie Island Canada Day Celebration.

Still to come is her annual Community Corn Roast and BBQ on Aug. 25, also on Petrie Island.

Festivals, fairs and good times STAR STAFF — One of the best things about living in Orléans are the many fairs, festivals and community Fun Days that are held every year. Chief among them is the Navan Fair.

Held on the second weekend in August, the Navan Fair attracts people from across the region who crowd the fair grounds to watch the demolition derby, take in the livestock shows, and enjoy the midway rides.

This year’s fair is being held from Aug. 10-13. Among the highlights are the demolition derby on the Thursday and Friday night, the Navan Fair parade on Saturday morning, and the grandstand show with headliners Honeymoon Suite and The Road Hammers. You can find out more about the Navan Fair at www. navanfair.com.

In September, some of the top grillmasters in North America return to Orléans for the second annual Ribfest.

Last year’s event was an unmitigated success with several thousand people enjoying the combination of BBQ ribs, and live music. To help accommodate the huge crowds, organizers have decided to move the festival to Centrum Blvd. which will be closed for the three-day event

from Sept. 15-17.

Other highlights of the year include the Petrie Island Canada Day Celebration which brings together local residents to celebrate Canada’s birthday.

Despite this year’s event falling victim to a steady downpour, organizers with the Kiwanis Club of Orléans have already promised to return next year.

June is festival month in Orléans with events in Blackburn Hamlet, Chapel Hill South and Beacon Hill.

The Blackburn Fun Fair is traditionally held during the first weekend in June.

June is also the month Orléans residents gather on Petrie Island to celebrate Caribbean culture through food and music at the Carivibe festival.

Residents living in Chapel Hill South gathered in Blue Willow Park this past June for the Summer Sizzler fun day. The event included fun activities for the kids, a BBQ and local entertainment.

Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic held the first annual Days of Summer Back Yard Bash this past weekend complete with a BBQ and free rides in the bucket of the Ottawa Fire Departments aerial truck.

Providing resources in times of crisis STAR STAFF — Like many other bedroom communities in Canada, Orléans has its share of residents who, for various reasons, need help in times of crisis.

Whether they are the victims of domestic abuse, are new arrivals to Canada, or are experiencing financial hardship, residents in need have not one, but two agencies they can turn to in the east end.

The Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre serves residents living in the former municipality of Gloucester, which includes the communities of Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet, Chateauneuf, Chapel Hill, and Convent Glen; while the Orléans Cumberland Community Resource Centre, located on Centrum Blvd., serves residents living in the former municipality of Cumberland which includes Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook, Cardinal Creek, Orleans Wood, Chatelaine Village and Avalon.

Both agencies provide services and programs for youth, teenagers and families and both agencies operate an Early Years drop-in centre.

In addition, the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre provides services and programs for seniors and adults with

physical disabilities in both jurisdictions including Meals on Wheels.

The Orléans Cumberland Community Resource Centre also operates a foodbank which provides emergency food supplies meant to last for 2-4 days. Families are limited to one visit per month.

The Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre refers individuals and families in need of emergency food supplies to the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard located at 2040 Arrowsmith Dr. which operates under the same rules.

Both resources centres are able to provide services to residents in need thanks in large part to the generosity and dedication of dozens donors, and community groups which hold fundraising events throughout the year.

The single biggest donor to the Orléans Cumberland foodbank are the students at St. Peter Catholic High School who collect tens of thousands of food items during their annual Canley Cup food drive every spring.

The OCCRC has several programs in which local businesses and individuals can contribute directly to the agency, the biggest being the Community Caring Connection program in which can either

biggest of which is their charity auction and dinner held every spring.

Francophone institutions flourish in Orléans

18 • July 20, 2017 • Volume 32, No. 5

STAR STAFF — From it’s earliest days, Orléans has always been proud of its francophone heritage.

In the 2011 Census, over 30 per cent of Orléans residents indicated French as their mother tongue with many more identifying themselves as Francophiles, or possessing the ability to speak and understand French.

It is this bilingual character which makes Orléans so special.

The francophone community in Orléans has worked hard to establish and maintain key institutions like the Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans (MIFO) and the Rendez-vous des aînés francophones d’Ottawa (RAFO).

Founded in 1983, MIFO is the cultural wellspring of the local francophone population in Orléans. The organization provides a wealth of programs and community services including seniors programs; summer camps; and a beforeand after-school program.

The MIFO cultural centre on Carrière Street is home to the Centre SéraphinMarion d’Orléans which provides activities for francophone seniors.

MIFO is also responsible for bringing French language performers, comedians and theatre performances to the Shenkman

Arts Centre.

Rendez-vous des aînés francophones d’Ottawa is a seniors club for francophones located at 3499 Navan Rd. The club offers a variety of activities throughout the week, as well as special events and outings.

One of their more popular activities is their Sunday breakfast and their Tuesday and Thursday lunches.

Another important francophone institution in Orléans is the Société francoontarienne du patrimoine et de l’histoire d’Orléans, or SFOPHO for short.

The group is responsible for convincing the city to name many of the local streets and parks after important francophone figures who played an important role in building the community.

They also joined forces with the Heart of Orléans BIA to establish a series of 27 historic plaques along St-Joseph Boulevard marking buildings and places of historic importance.

While MIFO is the wellspring of francophone culture in Orléans and SFOPHO is the guardians of its heritage, the Église Saint-Joseph d’Orléans is it’s heart and soul.

The existing church at 2757 St-Joseph Blvd. was completed in 1922 to replace the

(Right) the Paroisse Saint-Joseph church located at 2757 St. Joseph Blvd. FILE PHOTO original building which stood on the site from 1885 until 1920 when it had to be demolished for structural reasons.

The church is currently undergoing extensive renovations.

Bringing French performances to the stage STAR STAFF — Among other things, the Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans, or MIFO as it is more commonly known, is the driving force in bringing the latest in French language theatre, musical performers and comedy to the Shenkman Arts Centre stage.

Prior to the Arts Centre’s opening in 2009, MIFO’s productions were limited to the main hall of the Cultural Centre on Carrière Street which seated just over 200 people.

Once the Shenkman Arts Centre was completed, MIFO had access to the 500seat Harold Shenkman Hall and all the possibilities which that entailed.

Now in their ninth year, MIFO recently unveiled their program for the 2017-2018 season.

The season kicks off on August 18 and 19 with the production Les Morissette featuring the Les Morissette Quèbec-based comedic couple, Véronique Cloutier and Louis Morissette.

They will be followed on the Harold Shenkman stage by the musical production Les 3 Ténors on Sept. 8 and 9.

Set in Paris in 1936, Les 3 Ténors tells the story of producer Henri Beaudet, played by Martin Drainville, who enlists his son-in-law and “grand tenor by accident” Max, played by Benoît Brière, to put on “The Concert of the Century” with two other tenors with immense egos.

What could possibly go wrong?

A smörgåsbord of great restaurants

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star If you love food and you love dining out, than Orléans is the place to be when it comes to both variety and quality.

Orléans epicurean renaissance began four years ago with the opening of St. Martha’s Brasserie in the Orléans Town Centre plaza.

At the time, there was nothing like it in the east end. Chef Ryan Feltmate’s menu contained a number of items with a deliberate and delectable French provincial twist, but more importantly he brought a level of creativity to his craft that is often reserved for chefs working in the best downtown restaurants.

The Brasserie is still one of the best restaurants in Orléans, but it’s been joined by places like its sister eatery St. Martha’s Culinaire on Tenth Line Road in Avalon; the OCCO Kitchen restaurant on Innes Road; and the Soul Stone Restaurant on St. Joseph Blvd. all of which opened in the past year, along with Cucina Del Vito

and Da Nonna Maria Bistro Italiano also located on St. Joseph Blvd., which can give any restaurant in Little Italy a run for their money.

Add to that list Restaurante Caravela located beside the Food Basics store on Innes Road which opened in December.

Orléans is also blessed with some of the best pubs in the entire city; D’Arcy McGee’s, the Tartan, and Jonny Canuck’s are three that immediately come to mind.

More recently the Clocktower Brew Pub opened its first east end location in the Sobeys plaza on Trim Road.

That’s a far cry from the 90s when Kiki’s was the only shawarma restaurant in the area.

The only restaurant that could even be considered fine dining back then was the Little Turkish Village Dining Lounge which is currently undergoing a renaissance of its own under new owner Sunil Kurichh.

But that was then and this is now, and today Orléans is blessed with a

FILE PHOTOS cornucopia of excellent restaurants and a smörgåsbord of awesome eateries. The aforementioned St. Martha’s Culinaire d’Orléans, Soul Stone restaurant, OCCO Kitchen, Da Nonna Maria Bistro Italiano and Restaurante Caravela are at the top of the list.

Soul Stone owner and executive chef Sam He makes the very best sushi in the city, and the rest of the Asian fusion menu is outstanding as well. The establishment is currently the top ranked Asian restaurant in Ottawa on Trip Advisor.

OCCO Kitchen’s fish tacos have achieved legendary status and their burgers are about as good as a burger can get. The rest of the menu isn’t bad either.

In fact, the restaurant currently occupies the number five spot on Trip Adviser’s list of the top restaurants in Ottawa after more than a year at #1.

Caravela has been open for just over six months now, and they are already creating a buzz among local seafood lovers. Owner Fernando Diniz has created

a Taste of Portugal with the assistance of Chef Jose Lemos that is big on the country’s love affair with fruit de mers, served in an elegant dining room created by award-winning interior designer Richard Bergeron.

Elsewhere, Meatings Barbecue on St. Joseph Blvd. has become an instant favourite among fans of traditional southern BBQ. After running a successful BBQ catering business for the past three years, brothers Mat and Joey Flosse teamed up with partner Carol Hunt to open Orléans newest eatery.

Their ribs are delicious, as is their pulled pork and brisket which can be ordered with sides like smoked mac and cheese, corn bread, cole slaw or smoked baked beans.

Thanks to these latest additions to the local culinary scene, Orléans residents no longer have to drive downtown in search of a great meal anymore. Everything your heart – and your stomach desires – is right here in the east end.

A great place for an active lifestyle

30 • July 20, 2017 • Volume 32, No. 5

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star Whether you bike, run, swim or play tennis, Orléans is a great place to pursue an active lifestyle and stay in shape.

It’s no secret that Orléans is home to dozens of neighbourhood parks, but what is less commonly known is that they are connected by more than 50 kms of pathways that are shared by pedestrians and cyclists alike.

One of the more popular pathways runs along the Ottawa River from Petrie Island to Parliament Hill and further west all the way to Lincoln Fields.

During the summer months cyclists can enjoy NOKIA Sunday Bikedays during which the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway is closed to motorists from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to allow the free flow of bicycles. The Parkway can be accessed at St. Joseph Blvd. near Green’s Creek.

Dog owners should be aware that not all local parks are open to their pets. While dogs must be kept on a leash at most parks in the east end, they are prohibited at some parks, and allowed to run free at still other parks designated “off leash”.

You can check a park’s designation by visiting ottawa.ca and running a search using the words Dogs In Parks.

One recreation area where dogs are strictly prohibited is Petrie Island.

Created in 2004 where once a sand dredging operation existed, Petrie Island has become a recreation jewel with its two supervised beaches, nature trails and ecological reserve.

The island, which can be accessed by a causeway at the northern end of Trim Road, is home to the Orléans Canada Day Celebration and the Carivibe festival held every June. It’s also a popular destination for kayakers and canoeists who can paddle around the island and explore its many coves and inlets.

If you don’t own your own kayak or canoe, you can rent one at the Oziles Marina and Tackle Shop which is located on the causeway as you approach the island. Oziles also rents paddle boards, jet skis and paddle boats. Petrie Island is also a popular location for ice fishing enthusiasts during the winter months.

If swimming is your thing, Orléans is home to three indoor pools including the recently renovated wave pool at the Ray Friel Centre.

The Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex on Youville Drive houses a 25-metre pool that is shared by the Gloucester Synchro Club and the Ottawa

Orléans’ newest pool opened last year at the corner of Portobello and Brian Coburn Boulevards in Avalon. The François Dupuis Recreation Centre is open to the public during weekdays as well as on the weekend.

Service with a personal touch

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star In the age of electronics and on-board computers, neighbourhood garages have become more and more scarce. But there is such a place in Fallingbrook that has been providing dependable, honest service for more than 13 years.

With a name that sounds more like a neighbourhood bar than a neighbourhood garage, Mike’s Place is a gathering place for people who want a straight answer to a straight question without any of the technical gobblygook that can often leave your head spinning and your bank account a lot lighter.

Owner Mike Seguin knows all about honest value. He started pumping gas at his father’s Fina service station on Main Street when he was 13 years old.

“I remember Dad got me and my two brothers to dress up as bunnies one Easter and hand out little chocolate bunnies to the customers,” recalls Seguin, who started working on cars when the mechanics would show up late, or sometimes not at all.

But what he remembers most is that his father’s garage was a meeting place “My father used to have a room in the back so when we closed at 7 p.m.

everyone would show up,” says Seguin.

“On Saturdays no one would get any work done because you’d just be socializing.

You would turn on the coffee machine and by noon 20 to 30 people would be there.”

When Seguin eventually took over his own gas station at Main Street and Echo, he continued his father’s open door policy.

It’s a tradition he continues to this day.

Even though Mike’s Place doesn’t have a waiting room, or even a waiting area, there is a chair up front where people are welcome to sit down and chew the fat.

“I try to keep it like a small corner garage like there was when I grew up,” says Seguin. “I try to keep it like that.

People come in and they can sit down and shoot the breeze. It’s very old school.”

After closing the Sunoco station on Main Street, Seguin worked at the old Canadian Tire location on St. Joseph Blvd. and then Bel-Air Toyota where he remained until he opened Mike’s Place in 2004.

Over the years he’s built up a loyal clientele that now spans three generations.

“I have the grandfathers, the fathers, and now the kids,” says Seguin who along with his two mechanics Styles and J.P. have over 80 years of experience.

With his experience working at Bel-Air Toyota, Seguin specializes in all makes

However, their expertise extends to most any North American and Asian-made vehicles.

The core of their business is general maintenance.

“If you follow a regular maintenance schedule you will save yourself tons of money in the long run,” says Seguin.

Take a regular oil change, for instance.

The mechanics at Mike’s Place will do a routine check of your front suspension and your breaks, front and rear, just to make sure there are no problems looming on the horizon.

So for service you can trust, take your car to Mike’s Place for all your future maintenance needs.

A great place for minor sports

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star Orléans has a rich history when it comes to minor sports. In fact, a number of local teams have won provincial and national championships in virtually every discipline.

As a result Orléans has also produced a number of athletes who have gone on to have successful professional careers.

The Cumberland United Soccer Club has programs for every age group and skill level. FILE PHOTO

Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux played two years with the Cumberland Barons and a year with the Cumberland Jr. Grads before going on to successful career in the QMJHL. Cody Ceci (Ottawa Senators), Erik Gudbranson (Vancouver Canucks), and Jason Akeson (Binghamton Senators), all got their start playing minor hockey in Orléans, while future Hall of Fame coach Claude Julien grew up in the area.

While not actually from Orléans, Navan native Érik Bédard played Little League baseball with the Orleans Red Sox and was a member of the 1992 team that won the Canadian Junior Little League championship.

After being drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 1999, Bédard spent 13 seasons in the Major Leagues, playing on six different teams. He retired in 2014 with a career win-loss record of 71-82.

On the football field, Cumberland Panthers product Brendan Gillanders is currently playing for the Ottawa Redblacks, while Gloucester Hornets alum Jamar Dixon is playing on the soccer pitch for the Ottawa Fury.

Orléans has also produced a trio of Olympians. Fallingbrook resident and Ottawa Lions member Segun Makinde

Who knows how many future stars are playing hockey at the Ray Friel Centre, kicking a soccer ball around the

Hornets Nest, or breaking tackles at the Millennium Sports Park.

Whether your son or daughter is interested in basketball, hockey, soccer, football, ultimate Frisbee, figure skating, baseball, ringette or lacrosse, there is a local association that would welcome them with open arms.

Newly rebuilt Orléans store NOW OPEN at 2832 St. Joseph Blvd.

Your community auto detailer

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The term “self made man” has been applied to many entrepreneurs in the past, but it’s never applied more than it does to Extreme Auto Care owner Will Doughty.

Doughty started his first business fresh out of high school in 1999. He had just returned from a two month stint in the arctic and bought a mobile pressure washing unit.

“It was called Will’s Washing Service and my motto was ‘Will’s willing to wash’,” Doughty remembers fondly.

The business was successful enough for Doughty to lease some space on Youville Drive to store the pressure washer.

But after a year of working day and night and most weekends he decided to focus on cars, and thus Extreme Auto Care was born.

In the early days, Doughty depended on referrals from local car dealers who gave him their detailing overflow. When his satisfied customers started coming back on a regular basis he knew he was on to something.

“I just went at it full blown everyday, work, work, work, and built it from there,” Doughty recalls of those early days.

Business began to boom and Doughty began to take on more employees, including his wife Sharon who came on as a fulltime employee in 2012. Today, Extreme Auto Care employees 23 people at two locations – the original shop on Youville Drive, and a second shop on McArthur Road.

Over the years he also started offering additional services including oil changes, tire “We’ve tried to make it so that it’s a one stop shop. So the customer drops their car off in the morning. They want it cleaned, they want the oil changed, they want a brake job and get their winter tires changed. Then they come back at five o’clock and it’s all done. So instead of going to multiple places to get multiple things done, they just come to use and we take care of everything for them,” says Doughty.

Still, at the core of the business is auto detailing which Doughty says is just as important in maintaining the value of your vehicle an engine tune-up and changing your oil on a regular basis.

“You take care of your car and your car will take care of you. You take of your investment and your investment will be

Sharon and Will Doughty with their son Jacob and the rest of the crew at Extreme Auto Care on Youville Drive. FRED SHERWIN PHOTO there,” says Doughty. “It also says a lot about the person. Your car is an extension of yourself and people notice. It’s a perception thing.”

A big part of Doughty’s business philosophy is making sure to give back to the community. He’s sponsored well over 100 minor sports teams over the years as

up to Residential and Commercial Real Estate/ Droit immobilier résidentiel et commercial • Commercial Leasing/ Baux commerciaux • Business Law/Droit commercial Wills, Powers of Attorney and Estate Planning/Testaments, procurations et planification successorale Administration of Estates/Administration de successions

well as countless organizations and other charities.

“I’ve been doing it since day one. You have to give back to the community that gives to you,” explains Doughty. “Without their support I wouldn’t be here.”

Extreme Auto Care is located at 1439 Youville Drive across from Jim Keay.
