Males dominate this year’s H.S. Honour Roll

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star When you look at the list of the top scholars in Orléans this year you can’t help but notice an obvious trend – they are all young men. In fact, it’s the first time since the Orléans Star and orleansonline.ca started writing about the area’s top scholars that no females made the list.

All four of this year’s top scholars share a two common traits – they all tried to balance their academic pursuits with extra-curricular activities and they all are masters of time management, although they didn’t start out that way.

“Its definitely something I had to learn.” says Uvernes Castillo, who won the Governor General’s medal as the top graduating student at Cairine Wilson Secondary School with a 97.0 average.

“It was always a challenge in Grade 9 and 10,” says Mohamed Radwan, who is this

year’s Governor General’s medal recipient at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School after achieving a 98.0 average which is the highest average among this year’s top scholars, “but I learned to manage my time a lot better in Grade 11 and especially this past year. The most important thing is to do the work when it’s assigned and not when it’s due and make sure you have a start time to study for tests and exams.”

St. Matthew High School’s top scholar, Adam Steacy narrowly beat out fellow Grade 12 grad Margaret Enein by less than one per cent to win his Governor General’s medal with a 96.8 average.

Steacy plans to go to McMaster University in Hamilton next year where he will major in mechanical and biochemical engineering.

The 17-year-old says the key to his academic success was making sure he pursued other interests away from his text books.

Bob Monette hosts Canada Day Seniors Bingo for a final time ORLÉANS – Orléans Ward city councillor Bob Monette hosted the 9th annual Canada Day Seniors Bingo on the weekend and the veteran politician could not help but look back on the event he founded with a certain amount of nostalgia.

“This is one of the events I will miss a lot,” said Monette who is retiring this fall. “We love doing it. The residents love coming. It’s grown from a small bingo to more than 300 people every year with over $11,000 in prizes from local merchants.” The event is co-hosted by the Orléans Lions Club with the help of volunteers from the 3018 Orléans Army Cadets. Monette is hopeful whoever replaces him will keep the Canada Day tradition going. “It would be a real shame to lose it. The seniors love it and I wouldn’t mind playing the bingo myself next year,” joked Monette who turned 66 earlier this year.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo moving to Sarsfield this fall SARSFIELD – Residents living in the east end community of Sarsfield will soon have a new neighbour – or should we say neighbours. Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, which has been based on Bank Street near Greely for the better part of 15 years, has announced they are moving to Sarsfield this fall. The reptile display zoo and traveling educational show, boasts more than 150 animals including pythons, alligators, cobras, rattlesnakes, tarantulas, marmosets and several birds of prey. Owners Paul and Sheri Goulet are quick to assure residents that the new facility will be fully secured and there is no threat that any of the animals will get loose. Besides hosting tours of their facility, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoos put on shows for birthday parties and often visit area schools. They also hold day camps throughout the summer. But their real mission is to act as a rescue shelter for reptiles and to spread awareness about the often misunderstood animals.

Top scholars strive to lead balanced lives Continued from page 1 “I played hockey and I did a lot of skiing with my buddies,” said Steacy.

All four top grads in Orléans made sure to balance their studies with extracurricular activities.

St. Peter High School Governor General’s Medal recipient Bobby Lechambre played on both of the school’s varsity football and rugby teams and had a normal social life. After earning a 94.2 average he plans to attend the University of Ottawa this fall where he will major in chemical engineering.

Uvernes Castillo played competitive soccer with the Ottawa Gloucester Hornets and took guitar lessons. He was also a member of the Math Club. The 17-year-old plans

to major in Computer Science at Carleton University in the fall and hopes to one day conduct leading research into artificial intelligence.

Mohamed Radwan has enrolled at the University of Ottawa where he plans to major in biochemistry and chemical engineering. His goal is one day become a doctor.

Like the others, he also took time a way from his books to pursue other interests.

“I went to the park a lot and played basketball with my friends. I also tutured other kids at school and was a peer counsellor,” said Radwan.

Judging by what they’ve accomplished so far, all four top grads should have a very bright future.

Keeper of Navan’s Tweedsmuir History passes away at 92

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star When she was alive, Verna Cotton was a walking, talking treasure trove of information when it came to the history of her beloved Navan where she was born and raised and lived until health issues forced her to move to a retirement residence in Orléans.

On June 4, she passed away after a lengthy illness at the age of 92.

Verna served many roles over the years. She was twice married. Her first husband, Ralph Savage, died in 1955 after just six years of marriage. She eventually remarried three years later to Syd Cotton and the pair operated a dairy farm just outside of town on Trim Road.

She was involved in nearly aspect of Navan life and was a teller at the original RBC branch in the late 50s and early 1960s.

But it was her role as one of the founding member of the Navan Women’s Institute that she was most proud of, and in particular her role as curator of Navan’s Tweedsmuir History books from 1984 to the time of her passing.

The Tweedmuir History books are a collection of newspaper articles, letters, programs, photographs, wedding notices and anything else that documents the community’s local history.

There are more than 940 other communities in Ontario who keep a Tweedsmuir History. The histories were initiated by Lady Tweedsmuir, wife of Governor-General Lord Tweedsmuir, in 1945 in collaboration with the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario.

Verna was the third curator of the Navan Tweedsmuir History. Most community histories consist of two or three volumes. During Verna’s tenure as curator, the Navan Tweedsmuir History grew to more than eight volumes.

Besides her work as village historian, Verna was also a member of St. Mary’s Anglican Church and served as the church’s envelope secretary for more than 40 years. She was a founding member of the Cumberland Historical Society and contributed to both The Murder in Navan and History of the Domes publications.

Life-long friend and fellow Navan resident Ross Bradley sat behind Verna at church for more years than he can remember. He will remember her as a woman who devoted her life to collecting and safeguarding the community’s history.

“She was a wonderful person and she will be greatly missed,” says Bradley.

It was a little known secret Verna was also an avid baker, having won the Baking Queen competition at the Navan Fair on three separate occasions and she was an enthusiastic bowler for over 50 years.

Although she never had any children of her own, she always had time for her many nieces and nephews including former Cumberland mayor and Conservative MPP Brian Coburn who delivered her eulogy during the memorial service on June 10.

“Perhaps it is unfortunate that it is only when we lose someone that we find out the multitude of things in which they were involved that have benefited all of us in one

Verna Cotton way or another,” Coburn said about his aunt. “Events, organizations, celebrations etc that we go to and enjoy, but don’t give a lot of thought as to the effort and work that goes on behind the scenes to that make an event or organization successful. Verna was one of many workers behind the scenes who make our community of Navan such a wonderful place to call home. Rest in peace, Verna.”

Thankless task First, kudos to the Kiwanis Club of Orléans for once again organizing the Orléans Canada Day Celebration on Petrie Island and in particular Zybina Richards, Loretta Chow and Harley Bloom who are the event’s lead organizers.

Richards has been organizing Canada Day celebrations in Orléans for more than 25 years, first as president of the Fallingbrook Community Association, then as vice-chair of the Greater Orléans Canada Day Celebration, and more recently as a member of the Kiwanis. Loretta Chow has been Zybina’s righthand assistant since the earliest days of the Greater Orléans celebration and Harley came on board around 2008 or 2009.

All of three of them do what they do – donating hundreds of hours of their time – out of a love and appreciation for their community and their fellow residents. And they do it on a purely volunteer basis.

They also do it in virtual anonymity with little if any thanks from the people who benefit most from their efforts – the people who come to the event. When I was organizing the Greater Orléans Canada Day Celebration from 2003 to 2011, I had one of my main volunteers come to me to say he could no longer do it. When I asked why, he said that “to be honest there’s no thanks in it”.

My first reaction was to apologize and to thank him for his efforts, but he meant that there wre no thanks from the public who often complained about long line ups, lack of facilities etc. Of course my reaction was that if he was only in it for the thanks he was volunteering for the wrong event. In the 11 years I organized the event I was thanked twice, once by email and once by a young girl who was urged to do it by her mother. You don’t spend dozens, or in my case over 300 hours organizing an event for the thank yous. You do it for the pure self satisfaction of being able to do it.

It’s a common misconception that the Petrie Island Canada Day Celebration is put on by the city. It’s not. If anything it’s put on in spite of the City which does everything in its power to dissuade the efforts of volunteers like Richards, Chow and Bloom.

Sure, there are many well-meaning city staffers whose job it is to help facilitate events like the Canada Day celebration and our local councillors help by making a financial contribution to the event from their office budgets, but there is so much more they could be doing.

The first thing they could do is waive the $300 rental fee for the site. The most difficult aspect of organizing an event like the Petrie Island Canada Day celebration is fundraising. Businesses aren’t as willing to donate the way they used to 10 and 15 years ago. So while having to pay a $300 rental fee for a publicly owned city facility to host an all-volunteer, free access event might not sound like much, it actually adds to the financial burden the organizers have to pay for.

This is especially difficult for an event that has suffered a financial shortfall in each of the past three years.

Editor & Publisher – Fredrick C. Sherwin fsherwin@orleansstar.ca Advertising Consultant – Dale Davis Dale.Davis@orleansstar.ca

The Orléans Star is a bi-weekly publication distributed to 44,000 residences in Blackburn Hamlet, Orléans and Navan.

The newspaper is locally owned and operated by Sherwin Publishing Inc., 745 Farmbrook Cres., Orléans, ON. Inquiries can be made by e-mailing info@orleansstar.ca. Inquiries and delivery issues should be e-mailed to info@orleansstar.ca.

City council needs to step up A perfect example of how the City could be more helpful is by providing a generator which would save the organizers nearly $1,500. When I organized the event from 2003 to 2014 we were able to use a city generator free of charge, we simply had to pay for the delivery and whatever diesel we used. It wasn’t until the penultimate year that they decided to charge us $1,500 for the use of the generator. Keep in mind that if we didn’t use it the generator would sit idle in a city lot on Swansea Drive. Also keep in mind that the generator was paid for by tax dollars. It should be provided to non-profit community events free of charge. End of story.

Here’s one last example. Before the region was amalgamated in 2001, former municipalities like Cumberland and Gloucester would bend over backwards to help facilitate non-profit community events like the Petrie Island Canada Day celebration.

That included providing such things as barricades, picnic tables and garbage bins. Since amalgamation, community groups have needed to pay the City to deliver said items or pick them up and bring them back themselves – the official reason is “cost recovery”. The truth is that the city workers at the municipal lots have plenty of down time both before and and after Canada Day to deliver the picnic tables and garbage bins themselves.

I remember one year when I was loading a bunch metal barricades onto a trailer, several city workers were watching me with a puzzled look on their faces while enjoying a break. When they asked why I was picking up the barricades rather than having them delivered, I told them about the expense that would be incurred if we took that route. They couldn’t believe it. One of the workers was so disgusted, he actually ended up helping us out on his own time.

All of this to say that if there seems to be fewer and fewer non profit events happening today compared to 10 or 15 years ago, perhaps the reason lies with a city that is more interested in making a buck than helping out groups of dedicated, tireless volunteers whose only goal is to organize family-friendly events for their neighbours.

The City already has Special Event teams which are charged with the task of working with event organizers, but their hands are tied by city management and a city council that refuses to act.

There was hope that the new group of city councillors would buck the trend and find a way to change the status quo. Especially those city councillors who are former members of community associations.

The rules should be simple. If your event is a non-profit, all-volunteer, free access initiative, then the city should provide whatever assets you might need free of charge with delivery dependent on the availability of city staff. This does not include events like Carivibe and Bluesfest which have the ability to charge an admission fee. I’m talking here about Canada Day celebrations, community fun days and other such events which enhance the quality of life for local residents.

It costs city taxpayers exactly zero dollars to provide an event with a generator, especially when the organizers are willing to pay for the delivery and whatever diesel fuel is used.

It’s called “community building”. Our current crop of city councillors would do well to have an understanding of the concept aside from providing funds from their office budgets. Who knows, perhaps they might hear those two magic words, “thank you”.

Millennials and Centennials alleged failings... who is to blame?

We recently celebrated another 50th birthday amongst our circle of closest friends, now putting all of our crew into the sixth decade of our lives. Amidst this revelry and in other gatherings with work colleagues of the ‘same vintage’, discussion often turns to intergenerational comparisons and sure as day follows night, a lament for those who have come after us.

But before we explore the challenges and perceived/real failings of the ‘youngins’, let’s establish the generational labels.

The Greatest generation was born between 1910 and 1924 and are dubbed the greatest given their hardship though the Great Depression of the 1920s and living through World War II. Just behind them is the Silent or Traditionalist generation born from 1925 to 1945 with tinges of “greatness” as well.

Next up, the infamous Baby Boom generation born from 1946 to 1964. The Mad Men of Madison Avenue are a byproduct of this generation. Boomers are also the original ‘me, me, me’ movement yet they did drive positive social change around the issues of equality and minority rights that continue to reverberate today.

They also gave us classic modern rock music, enduring and timeless 1970s bands but on the downside, disco and at times, really long hair.

Then comes the generation born between 1965 and 1976 known as Generation-X or my preferred moniker, the Baby Busters!

Many of our generation (compared to its predecessors) grew up in one-parent homes or blended families, were cynical at an earlier age and remain resentful of the national fiscal debts the boomers left for us. On the upside, the inevitable passing of the boomers will result in a multi-trillion dollar bequeathment of wealth, mostly to Gen-X. We also gave the world the best and worst of 1980s music, too many onehit wonders and we were the guinea pigs of transition; imperial to metric and punch cards to personal computers.

Millennials, or Generation-Y, were actually born between 1977 and 1995 and are now in their mid-20s to early 40s.

They are ‘me, me, me v2.0’. Too often folks mistakenly refer to today’s teens as Millennials, they are not! Millennials grew

up with computers, too many TV channels and are often savaged in workplace literature as being lazy, entitled, self-absorbed etc.

However, this is equally the fault of leaders who have not individualized their styles to get the best from these employees.

What we do know about Millennials is that they are now the largest generational cohort and the most educated in history.

But there is sub-text here: the stereotypical lazy 30-year old gamer still living in the basement is quasi-real. Millennials who have not completed their education (highschool or even those with less marketfriendly university degrees) are more likely to still live at home or perpetually rent and cannot afford home ownership.

As a consequence, this sub-group has not moved beyond their hometowns compared to others in their generation.

Next up is Generation-Y, the iGen or Centennials who were born between 1996 and 2012 and are (see paragraph above) too often mislabelled as Millennials.

They are truly the first wired and now wireless generation. 24/7/365, always on, technology invading every facet of life, digital-and-social first is the only world and context they know. They have also grown up in a world of amazing contrasts with wide local and global disparities in personal safety, income attainment and educational

achievement. The future, through many of their eyes, is very uncertain.

Where we older folks (read 50-plus) get concerned is in the real/perceived life skills gap of millennials and centennials.

How many can write a cheque? Can they make change at a cash register by doing the math in their head? Do they ever carry cash and what happens if Interac is not working?

How many can sew a button? What is their state of culinary skills – nuking a pizza slice, putting milk on cereal or using Skip The Dishes and UberEats does not count?

Can they look their waiter, Uber driver or store clerk in the eye when speaking? Do they memorize key phone numbers and personal ID details? Can they focus on one task or appreciate stillness? And what happened to spelling and grammar?

Yes, these are sweeping and maybe unfair questions. The answers, dare I posit, could be found by flipping these questions back to the Boomers (their grandparents), us Baby Busters and even the earliest Millennials. If the first Millennials or many Centennials can’t cook, sew, do math the old-school way or fully engage in the real (not virtual) world with eye-contact and undivided personal attention, who is to shoulder this blame and what, if anything. can we collectively do to fix it? Pass the wine, discuss amongst yourselves …

At 180 Fitness in the Canotek Business Park, owner Adrian Delorey is constantly striving to provide his clients with the latest innovations in fitness technology and science. The GeneBlueprint is one of those innovations.

It is often assumed that everybody responds to exercise training the same way. However, it is known that individuals show a wide range of responses to identical exercise programs. Genetics explain why some people respond well to a specific exercise program while others might struggle.

Individuals do not respond the same way to diet types.

Our body responds to food and appetite differently. It’s not the ideal answer, but some of us are genetically predisposed to be lean while others gain weight easily.

GeneBlueprint specializes in providing personalized fitness and nutrition genetic prediction scores to help you achieve your goals.

The GeneBlueprint pro- Adrian Delorey (right) with client and vides a scientific analysis of Dominc`s Academy of Music owner carbohydrate tolerance, fat tolerance, lactose sensitivity, Juan-Miguel Cinanni. alcohol sensitivity and caffeine sensitivity.

Taste all that Persia has to offer at the Persis Grill in Orléans

best

Since first opening their doors in January 2017, the Persis Grill restaurant has gained a stellar reputation for serving up great food rooted in the northern region of Iran. The delicious menu combined with a friendly and attentive service staff have resulted in a loyal clientele which the owners and staff are especially grateful to have.

Among the house specialties at the Persis Grill are the grilled lamb chops; kabobs marinated in spices native to Persia; the Fesenjan stew, which is filled with pomegranate paste, walnuts and pieces of chicken and served with basmati rice; and the Koobideh which is their most popular item. Koobideh is a ground beef kabob seasoned with onion pulp, salt, pepper and love. The mix is formed by hand onto a skewer, and then grilled over open flame. The restaurant’s Persian clients travel from across the city just to enjoy their Koobideh.

It is interesting to note that the Persis Grill is one of the few restaurants in Orléans that allows you to bring your own wine. You simply need to pay a $10 corking fee which is the standard in Ottawa. For those who choose not to bring their own wine Persis has both a house white and red wine, bottled beers, and assorted cocktails for your enjoyment.

2,2 MILLIONS TREATMENTS PERFORMED

Taking the fear out of oral health care Many years ago, I treated a patient who had not seen a dentist in more than a decade. He was 38 years old, with a chipped and decayed back molar that was causing constant pain. “It was easier to accept the pain rather than visit the dentist,” he said to me. That was until the pain became unbearable – reality set in that he would have to visit me and he made an appointment, albeit reluctantly. When he arrived at my office he was noticeably anxious.

Getting to know my patients and their dental fears helps me decide what tools and techniques to use to help ease their anxiety as much as possible.

One of the most effective ways to do this is to allow them to make decisions during the procedure. Whether it is raising their hand to stop, or giving them rests in between will help them to be in control, which reduces the fear.

Informing my patients step by step as to what I am doing also goes a long way in helping to reduce their level of anxiety. Offering nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) also helps relax a nervous patient and gets them through their appointment.

As for the man I treated, he is now a regular patient and no longer requires nitrous oxide.

Unfortunately, fear and anxiety often prevent individuals from pursuing dental health care. As a result, they often suffer from dental health issues that can be both preventable and treatable through regular visits to the dentist. At the Blackburn Shoppes Dental Centre we do everything possible to alleviate your fear and anxiety and establish a dental health plan that will turn that grimace into a wonderful brilliant smile.

An ounce of prevention could avoid thousands in potential repair bills Whether you are planning a summer vacation that will include a good deal of driving, or you plan on making frequent trips to the cottage, you should consider taking your car in to Precision Automotive on Vantage Drive for a check up.

With 10 bays, four licensed technicians and two apprentice technicians, Precision is the largest service centre in Orléans. They also have the expertise to service any make and model of vehicle.

While many people will opt for an oil change at one of a myriad of places that specialize in quick oil changes, the people who normally work at those establishments do not have the type of mechanical expertise that Precision’s technicians have, to give your car a thorough inspection.

Technicians at Precision will check all your fluid levels, tire condition and pressure as well as all your drive belts and hoses. There is nothing more annoying than losing a drive belt or blowing a hose in the middle of nowhere. Not only is it inconvenient, but it can cost you valuable vacation time, not to mention a potentially expensive towing bill.

Besides belts, hoses and tires, a Precision technician can also inspect your brakes, suspension, exhaust and even your air conditioning systems.

All these things can interfere with the best-laid vacation plans.

Providing peace of mind for you and your family is what Precision Automotive is all about. Owner Rob Brouwer and his staff have been providing peace of mind, along with honest service and honest value for nearly 30 years. They offer an industry-leading 2 year/40,000km warranty on most newly installed parts and labour.

Why not take advantage of their expertise and have your vehicle checked out today to avoid the chance of a potential headaches tomorrow? Nothing has the potential to ruin your vacation plans worse than an unexpected mechanical failure that could have been easily prevented by a trip to Precision Automotive. As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Precision Automotive is located at 385 Vantage Dr. behind the McDonald’s at Innes and Tenth Line Road. You can also visit their web site at www.theautopros.ca or call them at 613-841-5550. Happy motoring!

Natural habitat on Petrie Island is ‘turtle-y’ awesome

By Sherry Nigro Friends of Petrie Island Sadly all freshwater turtles in Canada are considered at-risk, with the loss of wetlands being a major factor. Fortunately for folks living in Orleans, Petrie Island, a Class 1 wetland, is right in our back yard and offers a great location to view turtles in their natural habitat.

You may find up to five different types of turtles at Petrie: painted, map, snapping, musk and Blanding’s. The most common is the painted turtle which has a dark shell and yellow and red stripes on its face and neck. It loves to sun itself; a behaviour called basking. Our current record is a single day count of 60 basking turtles.

The map turtle is distinguished by a ridge running down its shell and a serrated edge at the base of its tail. The shell, head and limbs are patterned like a topographical map with yellow lines.

The snapping turtle is the largest turtle with a relatively small shell and a large beaked head. It also has a long tail that has a row of spikes that adds to a truly prehistoric appearance. Did you know snapping turtles can live to be 100 years old?

Musk and Blanding’s turtles are not commonly found. Musk turtles only

grow to 12 cm and live almost entirely in the water. They are also called stinkpot turtles as they emit a skunky smell when disturbed. Blanding’s turtles are endangered; they have a bright yellow throat and chin that is characteristic to the species.

The main threats to turtles on Petrie Island are nest predations and road mortality. Turtles are often seen crossing Trim Road, both on the Island and on the causeway, particularly in May and June during nesting season. Please slow down when driving where turtles may be. Already this year we have seen at least one painted turtle that was crushed.

Last week a snapping turtle was injured so badly it needed to be transported for medical intervention. These hits are totally preventable with attention and slower speeds. If you find a turtle on the road, monitor it to see that it gets across safely or move it (always in the direction it was going). Snappers can be moved by allowing it to bite a stick or car mat.

The Friends of Petrie Island is a volunteer organization that undertakes several activities specifically developed to help conserve turtles.

Several dead logs have been positioned in quiet water to provide safe basking

A turtle suns itself on a stump on Petrie Island. The east end nature reserve is home to several different varieties of turtles. PHOTO COURTESY OF FOPI locations.

Basking turtles are monitored and counted to provide longitudinal data on the health of local populations.

Nests of turtle eggs are protected with wire to prevent predation by raccoons and skunks. In 2018 there were 30 map and snapping turtle hatchlings released from protected nests.

Blinds have been set up along the Turtle Trail to offer excellent but unobtrusive

Mobile Radio Club’s annual field day a tremendous success

By Nicole Boivin Ottawa Valley Mobile Radio Club

Members of the Ottawa Valley Mobile Radio Club are all smiles during their annual field day at the Aviation Museum. PHOTO COURTESY OF OVMRC those who like to compete or simply enjoy talking to someone half way around the world. My specialty is providing communications for public events, such as the MS Bike Tour which is coming up on Aug 17-18.

The club teaches a course in amateur radio starting in September of each year.

To find out more about the hobby and our club, visit our website at www. ovmrc.on.ca. Who knows, you may just catch “the bug”. We hope that you will join us next year on the fourth weekend in June when we expect to be back at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum. As we amateurs say, until then 73.

July 11, 2019 • Volume 34, No. 4 • 15

On June 22 and 23, the Ottawa Valley Mobile Radio Club (OVMRC) participated in a field day at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum.

Each year at this time Amateur Radio Operators (HAMS) from across North America participate in an exercise to test long distance emergency communications.

It is also a competition amongst radio clubs to see who can make the most contacts in the 24 hours of the event.

On the morning of June 24, the members of the OVMRC set up their short wave antennas and equipment in the field adjacent to the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum and ‘got down to business’ at 2 p.m.

Operators worked through the night to contact other amateurs across North America up to the cut off time of 2 p.m. on June 25.

We do not yet know the outcome of this year’s competition, however, last year our club came second overall in Canada in our category.

With no hydro power, we used a

combination of generators and solar panels to power up our radio transceivers.

We communicated by voice, digital radio, telegraph and by satellites.

The OVMRC is one of several clubs in the Ottawa area, with members mostly from Orléans and Gloucester. The event was opened to the public, and public participation was up this year. We had guided tours of our various stations, a setup where the public can try their hand at telegraphy and talk to someone far away on our GOTA station.

We were operating from a 32-foot trailer, with a ‘Get On The Air’ (GOTA) station under a tent. Several members of the public were able to make radio contacts from our GOTA station. The children in particular enjoyed trying to send their names using the telegraph setup.

On he opening day the Search and Rescue Service (SARS) made their trailer available for public access. Many of the SARS personnel are also qualified amateur radio operators.

Amateur Radio is an exciting hobby with many diverse interest for those who are both technical and non-technical,

Symphony Senior Living’s Forest Valley Terrace knows how to impress Forest Valley Terrace, which sits atop a hill overlooking the western end of St. Joseph Boulevard, certainly knows how to make a good impression.

The three-storey building, in muted shades of brown, is not particularly noteworthy, until you spot the cornerstone which reads “Holy Rosary Scholasticate 1930” and the initials for the Oblates of Mary Immaculate engraved high above the front door; both clues of the building’s origins as a seminary.

A “wow” moment comes with the view from the spacious foyer into the large chapel, where sunlight illuminates a beautiful stained glass rose window and the three vertical stained glass panels on either side.

The original building was a one-storey seminary, built in 1930 by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, with two additional storeys added in the early 50s and the spacious chapel added in 1955. As its role as a seminary began to diminish in the early 60s, the Oblates sold part of the property to the National Capital Commission to be part of the Greenbelt.

It continued as a seminary until it was sold in 1974 and began its life as a care facility; originally providing for chronic care patients, then solely for dementia care, and now, renamed Forest Valley Terrace,

A Seniors Moment

by Heather Jamieson it is part of the Symphony Senior Living community providing both assisted living and memory care.

I visited recently and met with executive director Jessy Staniszewski and community relations coordinator Glenese Francis-Wright. Ottawa-native Staniszewski has been with Symphony Senior Living since May 2018, starting as wellness coordinator at Symphony Orléans before being appointed executive director of Forest Valley Terrace in January. A registered practical nurse, with nine years of experience in the field of retirement living, he and his team are clearly doing something right as recent mandatory inspections under the Retirement Homes Regulation Authority had no findings of non-compliance.

“We have a great team now and so we are building occupancy,” says Staniszewski.

My good impression of Forest Valley

Terrace goes far beyond its bricks, mortar and stained glass. The newly renovated residence, including large outdoor spaces, lives up to its promise of being “homelike and comfortable” and its current management team are passionate about their work.

The chapel is the heart of the residence and is large enough that communion and rosary can take place at the altar, while residents participate in chair physio in the room’s centre. Along each side are comfortable couches, which create intimate spaces for visiting with family or engaging with other residents. (You know it’s a multi-purpose space when you notice the air hockey game tucked against the wall behind the alter!)

Near the entrance is the residence Bistro, which provides snacks and allimportant hydration therapy.

“Adequate hydration is an ongoing issue with the older population,” explains Staniszewski. “Many older adults do not like to drink water and prefer caffeinated or sugar-filled options like coffee, tea and juice.” At Forest Valley Terrace they ensure that all residents receive healthy fluids with all their meals and snacks.

To create its home-like atmosphere, a real effort has been made to “deinstitutionalize” the space – medications

aren’t on traditional med carts, but kept in lovely wooden cabinets which I suspect were part of the seminary’s original furnishings. The dining room, with its deep blue linen napkins and placemats, has a massive wooden china cabinet, much like ones many of the residents would have had in their own homes. Rather than one large television room, the assisted living floor has several cozy seating areas.

A wonderful example of a staff willing to innovate was their solution to the challenge of residents on the Memory Care floor waking up at night and not being able to settle back to sleep. A staff member wondered if perhaps residents were taking their “cues” that it was no longer night by seeing staff in day clothes and bright lights in the common areas. Now the overnight staff work in their pyjamas and the lights are dimmed. It worked.

While this innovation was first introduced at Forest Valley Terrace, it has been incorporated into Symphony’s other Memory Care units. As the company’s website says: “Sometimes it is the small, common sense ideas that can make a huge difference.”

My August column will talk more about the various programs and activities at Forest Valley Terrace, including a story about baby goats and the miracle of music

In the end, the Pierrefonds side came away with a 2-0 win and the Tier 1 championship trophy.

In other finals, the Kemptville Kougars beat Ottawa TFC 6-0 in the U13/14 Tier 1 championship game; the Woodbridge Strikers downed the Montréal Warriors 2-1 in the U13 Tier 2 final; and Dixie SC beat Ottawa South United 3-1 in the U14/15 Tier 2 championship game.

Elsewhere, Ottawa City Blue won the U15/16 Tier 2 title with a 3-1 win over Frank’s Soccer Training Academy (FSTA) and the Stouffville Mustangs captured the U16 Tier 1 championship with a 2-0 win over Ottawa South United’s Force White squad.

The Festival featured teams playing six aside on the four mini-fields at the Hornerts Nest.

The idea of the Festival is to give younger players a tournament experience without trophy on the line.

The Hornets had teams in all eight divisions and in some cases they had two teams in a divsion which meant that they had to play each other.

By the time the two-day tournament was over, everyone went home with a smile on their face and fond memories of havin taken part in an well-organized sporting event under perfect summer skies.

weekend. FRED SHERWIN PHOTO

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star For the first time in recent memory, the Ottawa Gloucester Hornets failed to win a banner at their own tournament, going 0-2 in the finals of the Ottawa Gloucester Invitational Soccer Tournament and Festival on the weekend.

The tournament featured action in two different tiers for teams from U13 to U17/18, while the festival involved teams from U7 to U10 in a round robin format with no playoffs or finals.

Of the eight Hornets teams registered on the competitive side of the tournament. only two managed to qualify for the finals. Both the U18 and U17 Premier teams had a shot at laying claim to a tournament title, but both teams ended up losing by identical 2-0 scores.

The UI7 squad was hoping to reverse a 2-0 loss to the Stouffville Mustangs in their round robin encounter when the two teams faced each other again in the U17/18 Tier 2 final, but the Hornets

quickly found themselves behind the eight ball after giving up an early first half goal.

Following the halftime break, the Hornets were very much in the ascendency, forcing Stouffville back on their heels, but they were unable to score an equalizing marker before the Torontoarea team slammed the door shut with an insurance marker midway through the second half.

The Hornets best chance to tie the game came in the 13th minute of the second half when a free kick from just outside the penalty area was tipped by the Stouffville keeper off the crossbar out of harm’s way.

In the U17/U18 Tier 1 final between the U18 Hornets and AC Fiorentina from Pierrefonds, it was the Quebec team that carried the majority of the play from the opening whistle.

The Hornets’ scoring chances were few and far between.
