Leo Lane resident takes on the RVCA

Mike Potvin stands in front of his house on Leo Lane which was severely damaged in the 2017 flood. He spent over $350,000 to make sure it wouldn`t be damaged in future floods. Now the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority wants him to undo all his work. FRED SHERWIN PHOTO

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star Leo Lane resident Mike Potvin is fed up and he’s not going to take it anymore. As the Ottawa River continues to recede from his river front property following the latest 100-year flood last month, the 73-year-old retiree is still fighting the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority over the 2017 flood.

In that devastating event, Potvin’s house shifted off its cinder block foundation and the first floor was completely inundated with water.

Determined not to let the catastrophic event happen in the future, he lifted his house up and poured an eight-foot foundation on top of which he added an additional two-foot knee wall.

He also built a retaining wall out of large

granite boulders where his sand bag wall kept the rising waters at bay in 2017 until it failed and the water rushed in.

The measures he took and the money he spent paid off last month when his house was left high and dry against the rising flood water. He didn’t need a single sand bag or require any help from the city`s emergency services. But one man’s solution is another man’s transgression, or in this case, a government agency’s problem.

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority is one of 36 conservation authorities created by the Ontario legislature in 1946 with the mandate to “ensure the conservation, restoration and responsible management of Ontario’s water, land and natural habitats through programs that balance human, environmental and economic needs.”

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Local South Asian community mourns sudden passing of prominent member ORLÉANS – Ottawa’s South Asian community was in shock on Saturday as news circulated about the sudden passing of one of it’s most prominent members.

Hunsdeep Rangar was the lead organizer of SouthAsianFest, which is held during the second week in August on the grounds of Ottawa City Hall. He was also the host of Mirch Masala Mix and Bhangra Nation on CHIN 97.1 FM. More importantly, he was a devoted husband to his wife Oshima and the proud father of their young daughter Neela. Rangar recently hosted the SouthAsianFest launch party just 10 days ago.

He will be remembered by those who’ve met him for his infectious smile, his enthusiasm for the Nation’s Capital and its South Asian community and for his Hunsdeep Rangar ability to instantly connect with people both young and old from every walk of life. The cause of Ranger’s death is unknown at this time.

The 43-year-old Avalon resident is being remembered by many as a proud family man and a champion of the South Asian community and its relevance, influence and importance in the community at large. “Hunsdeep was our main pillar in our South Asian community in Ottawa,” friend Ajitpal Dhaliwal told CBC Ottawa.

“He united so many different groups of people. It’s a major loss.”

Former MP attends groundbreaking ceremony for park named in his honour

ORLÉANS – Former Glengarry-Prescott-Russell MP Don Bourdia was joined by his children and grand children at the ground-breaking ceremony for a new municipal park at the corner of Decoeur Drive and Jerome Jodoin Drive in Avalon Encore, south of Innes Road between Mer Bleue and Tenth Line Road. When it’s completed sometime in 2020, or possibly 2021 depending on the weather, the park will have a Little League baseball diamond,a multi-purpose court with permanent rink boards, a one-acre fenced-in dog park, junior and senior play structures and a pathway loop. “This will be a AAA prime park,” says Cumberland Ward councillor Stephen Blais. “Parks turn a collection of houses into a proper community.”

Leo Lane resident takes on RVCA Continued from page 1 For the past 73 years, the conservation authorities have had the ultimate say when it comes to development with designated flood plains.

Anyone who builds or renovates their property in a flood plain, must first get their local conservation authority to sign off on the plans.

When Potvin first decided to rebuild his foundation, he sought and received a blessing from the City of Ottawa, but with one caveat – he had to also get the blessing of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, a hurdle that would prove a lot more difficult to hurdle. He also needed their blessing to secure provincial flood relief funds.

But there was just one problem, the RVCA wanted him to remove the retaining wall and the hundreds of cubic metres of fill he added to his property.

They also wanted him to fill his basement with sand to recreate his original four-foot crawlspace and drill four eight -inch holes in the foundation wall to allow water to enter the basement when the next flood happens.

Potvin agreed to the measures in order to get his relief funds, but he says he was under duress at the time.

“The situation was beginning to effect my health and we really needed the money we were entitled to so we could fix the foundation,” says Potvin.

The old foundation was damaged so bad the house was leaning dangerously close to the river and Potvin was afraid it was going to be condemned if he didn’t fix the situation and soon.

Although he is in the process of moving his retaining wall closer to the house, Potvin isn’t moving it to the one- to 1.5-metres demanded by the city – he believes it will adversely impact the integrity of he new foundation in the advent of another flood – and he doesn’t plan to fill his basement with sand.

“What happens when the next flood hits and the basement gets filled with contaminated water? Am I supposed to get rid of the contaminated sand and fill it back up again? Whose going to pay for that? And why do it at all? They say it’s because they don’t want the foundation to block the natural flow of the water, but the sand bag walls are already doing that. It’s the same thing,” argues Potvin who has spent more than $30,000 so far on professional fees, including lawyers.

He has a court date in September when he plans to argue his case before a judge. If he loses he will have to carry through with the RVCA’s demands and incur the associated costs, or risk a court order to pay back the relief funds.

On a more positive note, Potvin has an important ally in none other than Doug Ford. The Ontario premier threatened to get rid of the Conservation Authorities during the last election. Instead, he cut their funding by nearly 50 per cent in the last budget.

And just recently, the Conservative government introduced Bill 108, which if passed (which is highly probable), will drastically restrict the Conservation Authorities’ power and responsibilities.

For Mike Potvin that can’t happen soon enough.

Gardenway kids raise over $153 for flood relief efforts

ORLÉANS – Kids enrolled in the Gardenway School Age Program in Fallingbrook South recently raised over $153 and collected a box full of non-perishable food items to go towards flood relief efforts. The kids organized a bake sale and collected food from their own homes under the supervision of their educators. “These initiatives give the children a sense of community and belong,” says Gardenway supervisor Julie Ethier. “They also learn to collaborate, problem solve and come together for their community.” Other activities initiated by the kids include fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society; baking dog treats for the Humane Society; and organizing an art show to raise money autism.

Orléans Rotary Club honours young achievers

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The Rotary Club of Orléans held its annual Young People of Character Awards on June 2 during which 26 young people were honoured for their achievements in six different categories – Resilience, Positive Attitude, Courage, Compassion, Persistence, Commitment to Excellence, Creativity, Entrpreneurship and Social Responsibility.

Colonel By Secondary School student Nora Wilson was recognized for exemplifying the attributes of compassion, leadership, persistence and resilience as the leader of her school’s LGBTQ+ support club despite suffering from chronic pain and fatigue.

Wilson challenges her fellow students, teachers and adults at large to be more open and accepting of members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Cairine Wilson Secondary School student Kate-Lynne Braye was recognized for her courage in overcoming her fear of performing in front of people. The Grade 11 student’s fear was strong at times that she would often be brought to tears at the very thought of performing in drama class.

But rather than take the easy way out by dropping the course from her schedule, she

persisted and eventually learned to manage her fear to the point where she decided to join the school’s improv team.

Although shy at first, Braye slowly built up her confidence and became one of the most creative and impactful members of the team. She eventually became a team leader and helped them earn a spot in the city’s finals. Today, Braye shares her experience and tips to teach others how they can overcome their fears and enjoy student life to the fullest.

Richard Muhindo is a Grade 10 student at Lester B. Pearson High School. A native of the Republic of Congo in Central Africa, Muhindo immigrated to Canada in 2017 after spending seven years in a refugee facility in Uganda.

Since coming to Lester B. Pearson, Muhindo has taking advantage of every opportunity to get involved ina number of club’s including the Alzheimer’s Club which visits local seniors homes to interact with the residents.

He is also a member of the school’s Global Outreach Club and he acts as an ambassador to newcomer students by helping them make the transition to their new country and a new school.

St. Matthew High School student Joseph Thottungal was recognized for

Twenty-nine young people came together at the Shenkman Arts Centre on June 2 for the Young People of Character Awards, PHOTO SUPPLIED maintaining a 95% average in Grade 10 French Immersion while accumulating 225 hours of community service, pursuing his favourite sports of soccer and badminton and acting as a peer counsellor.

Seven more names added to Navan Builders Wall

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star

The names of seven more community builders were added to the Navan Community Builders Wall during an induction ceremony on June 1 that was attended by more than 120 residents of the east end village.

Tom Devesceri, Don Lawlor, Juanita Vetter, Ray Vetter and Sam Dagg were all in attendance for the event, while Lloyd Anderson and Gordon “Gord” Curry were inducted postumously.

Anderson was a leading member of the Navan community during the 40s, 50s and 60s. He was a founding member of the Navan Lions Club in 1952; he was the trustee of RR #8 Leonard Public School for 35 years and he was the long-time warden of St. Mary’s Anglican Church.

He also played a leading role in building the original Navan Arena and organizing the Navan Fair. And he played goalie for the Navan hockey team when it won the Bradley Cup in 1946.

Gord Curry and his wife Ruth moved to Navan in 1959.

An active sports enthusiast, Curry coached the local women’s fastball team for many years and he also played a pivotal role in getting lights for the ball diamond and he also coached kids team, worked the canteen, prepared the field organized tournaments and was the treasure of the league until the early 1990s.

An active member of the Navan Lions Club for 55 years, Curry served as the club’s president three times and he helped organize the Navan Winter Carnival during the 60s, 70s and early 80s. He also took it upon himself to publish the local phone book using larger print to make it more legible for seniors and he helped organize the Navan Lions Bingo at the Navan Fair.

Finally, he was a fixture at the Navan Arena right up until his passing this February. At various times he was a ticket taker, time keeper, skate sharpener and 50-50 ticket hawker. He was also an enthusiastic gardener who shared his bounty with local seniors.

Don Lawlor is another long-time Lions Club member. He and his wife Pat moved to Navan shortly after he retired from the Air Force in 1965. They have five children, all of whom chose to raise their own families in the village.

Lawlor has volunteered his services in setting up public address systems for a variety of public events at his church, the Navan Curling Club, where he has been a long-time member, and the arena where he was the public address system operator for the Navan Grads for many years.

Upon receiving his induction plaque, Lawlor accepted the honour on behalf of “all the volunteers who make this community such a wonderful place to live.”

Sam Dagg was also honoured for his

Pair breaks 180 Fitness Biggest Loser records

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star When Melanie Gagnon and Shawn Fournier started the latest Biggest Loser Challenge at 180 Fitness in March, they had never met before, nor had they met the other 18 participants in the weight loss program.

The one common denominator that bound them together was a deep desire to loss weight and become a much healthier version of themselves.

By the end of the 12-week process they would both set individual Biggest Loser records and the group would lose a total of 714 lbs.

Gagnon just edged out Fournier to take home the title of Biggest Loser. She lost 36.6 lbs overall and reduced her body weight by 12 per cent.

Fournier lost an impressive 93 lbs, reducing his body weight by eight per cent.

Both of their percentage weight losses set new individual records for the program which is now in its seventh year.

Gagnon was already a member at 180 Fitness when she signed up for the Biggest Loser Challenge in January.

“I lost 11 lbs. in the first month, but I wanted to lose more and I wanted to lose it faster. The program is a lot more holistic in its approach and you do it as a team which I really liked,” says Gagnon.

The Biggest Loser program teaches the participants everything from healthy grocery shopping to how to establish and maintain proper nutrition and a healthy mindset.

Gagnon says she tried every diet under the sun before joining 180 Fitness and all of them ended the same way – with her gaining the weight back. “But here, they do it the right way,” says Gagnon.

“I tried many gyms before and many programs but they never succeeded. It was always about protein shakes and not really about real food. They weren’t like this program and this gym. Joining has been the best decision I made in my life and

best investment you could ever make.”

Two weeks after completing the Biggest Loser Challenge, Gagnon took part in her first marathon and finished the 42.2 km course in just over five hours.

Although he finished a close second to Gagnon in the race to be the Biggest Loser, Fournier was thrilled with his results, especially when you consider his weight loss journey.

The 40-year-old won the Biggest Loser Challenge in May 2015. Four months later he was diagnosed with malignant melanoma.

“The diagnosis messed with my head,” says Fournier. “It gave me the mentality that I have one life to live and I am going out and eat whatever I want and the hell with the consequences.”

Fournier beat the cancer, but he gained 123 lbs in the process – going from 230 when he was diagnosed, to 356 last Christmas which is when his son was born.

“Our son was born on Dec. 23 and my he and my wife were released from the hospital on Christmas Day, which is when I realized I have a third person to look after,” says Fournier, whose two daughters provided him with the inspiration and motivation to take the Biggest Loser Challenge the first time around.

Despite the new addition in his life, Fournier didn’t make the decision to join the Biggest Loser Challenge until Jan. 14.

“I was going out to pick up some pizza and I couldn’t zip my jacket up or put on my shoes without holding my breath. I remember thinking to myself – What the hell has happened to you? How did you let yourself get this way? You were given a second chance. You kicked cancer’s ass.

You’re blessed with an amazing wife, two absolutely gorgeous girls, a beautiful baby boy amd here I am going out to buy crappy food every chance I get. What happened to moderation? What happened to living a healthy lifestyle and being around for your family a long as you can?

That’s when I sent a text to (180 Fitness

owner) Adrian Delorey and asked him or help.”

Fournier was supported by his wife and kids throughout the Biggest Loser process.

“Since my wife was on maternity leave she helped out with all the meal plans and

6 • June 13, 2019 • Volume 34, No. 2

During the past four weeks, I have witnessed acts of selfless community service that have semi-restored my faith in his country and its inhabitants.

It began with the hundreds of ordinary folk who answered the call to help with the sand bag operation during the recent flooding along the Ottawa River. Many people didn’t even wait for the call.

They just showed up to help in whatever way they could.

Then on June 2, neighbours helped neighbours to cope with the aftermath of freak tornado that uprooted hundreds of trees in Chatelaine Village and Riverwalk.

The twister had barely passed when residents on Borland Drive, Lawnsberry Crescent, Wincanton Drive, Lawlor Crescent, Falconcrest Court and Prestige Circle poured out on to the street to assess the damage and start to clean up. Within minutes the streets were filled with the sound of chainsaws.

Property maintenance crews showed up out of the blue, not to take advantage of the situation, but to lend a hand... free of charge.

Some neighbours who helped each other were meeting for the first time, despite living on the same street for months and years.

No one welcomes a natural disaster. They cause distress, anxiety, and a financial burden for many. In the extreme, they can also cause serious injury and death. But if there is a silver lining to any natural disaster it is their ability to bring out the very best in people.

Often times that sense of community service that manifests itself in the aftermath of a natural disaster lies dormant the rest of the time. How nice would it be if upon reawakening, that same sense of community service is applied in a meaningful way without the need for it to be triggered by a flood, or a tornado, or an ice storm?

On June 1, the day before the tornado, I attended the Navan Community Wall induction ceremony. The Community Wall contains more than 23 plaques engraved with names of residents, both past and present, who have played a role in building the community of through the decades.

During the June 1 ceremony seven more individuals had their names added to the Wall which is situated in front of the Navan Fire Station on Colonial Road.

Two of the individuals – Lloyd Anderson and Gord Curry – are deceased, but they along with the five other inductees all shared a common commitment to their community and their neighbours.

At various times they have all been members of organizations like the Navan Lions Club, the Navan Women’s Institute and the Cumberland Township Agriculture Society. They have all helped out in fundraising efforts for community initiatives and they have all given more than their fair share of sweat equity in making their community a better place to live.

They and the small army of volunteers and neighbours who answered the call during the flood and the tornado share a common commitment to a cause that is all too often overlooked and under appreciated by the rest of us – the cause of community.

Orléans hoop fans firmly in the grip of Raptors fever If you haven’t caught Toronto Raptors fever in their first ever trip to the NBA finals I am half tempted to ask what is wrong you with as the series reaches a conclusion in one of the next two games?

In full transparency, I grew up in Toronto and played for a provincially ranked, elite high school basketball program and also played for two seasons here at Carleton University some 30 plus years ago so I am a tad biased. For this scribe, #WeTheNorth is real.

One in three Canadians, so far, has watched some or meaningful portions of the Raptors games on TV versus the mighty Golden State Warriors. It can be argued that only basketball and professional soccer (or football as the purists call the beautiful game) are the true two global sports played and revered all over the world. And with all due respect to hockey, contact football, baseball, cricket, volleyball or tennis, they just don’t have this global reach or acceptance.

The NBA finals is being broadcast to over 215 countries and territories in 50 languages on TV, radio, computers, tablets and mobile devices. Fourteen television and radio networks from Brazil, Canada, China, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Poland, Spain and Taiwan are broadcasting live on site. And six international television networks – from

Australia, Estonia, Hong Kong and New Zealand – will present the NBA Finals remotely for the first time. Oh and the pre-series media day attracted over 1,000 journalists from every corner of the earth.

What makes basketball (and soccer) so attractive is their simplicity and accessibility to all strata of society. For both sports all you need are a ball and shoes and a pitch or court respectively.

Although some will tell me about many poor kids barefoot in far flung places around our planet still playing soccer, so point is taken. This is much different than hockey, football or baseball which require much more equipment and for many families (mine was one of them), the costs to even participate in house league and recreational play was simply too much.

Back to the NBA Over 25% of its players were born outside of the U.S. and Canadians from Leo Rautins to Steve Nash (a former league MVP) to Andrew

Wiggins and soon R.J. Barrett (predicted to go 2nd is this year’s college draft) have made their mark. Of course, it deserves mention that the game was invented by Almonte native James Naismith in late 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts and that the first NBA game, according to the league, was actually played in Toronto on November 1, 1946 in front of over 7,000 fans between the Toronto Huskies and the New York Knickerbockers.

Basketball also has a great footprint here in Ottawa and Orléans. Over 15 years ago, I had the pleasure of running the Gloucester Cumberland Basketball Association (GCBA) Tykes program for a few years and the GCBA also has a range of programs and league play for kids of all ages not to mention their Select and Wolverines offerings for greater player development and elite club play experiences that can take kids across the province.

Our local public and Catholic high schools have been blessed with passionate teachers/coaches who have produced competitive and OFSAA-level champions over the years with female and male players going on to compete and thrive in top-tier Canadian and American university programs while getting a post-secondary education.

Then there are the great summer camp options for aspiring ballers including

the Rautins-House Basketball School and Above the Rim Basketball School.

The gem in our community has to be the Capital Courts Academy in the Taylor Creek business park, founded and run by former Lester B. Pearson high school standout Merrick Palmer who also starred at St. Francis Xavier in Nova Scotia and played pro in South Africa. Suffice it to say, Orléans punches above its weight compared to other communities across Canada when it comes to giving the game future generations of players and stars.

Freak tornado leaves destruction in its wake

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star Orléans residents living in Orléans communities of Chatelaine Village and Riverwalk had their afternoon interrupted by a tornado at just after 5:45 p.m. on Sunday, June 2. The twister uprooted hundreds of trees, tore shingles off roofs, ripped fences and sheds apart and damaged several cars.

Miraculously no one was hurt during the incident which lasted about 10 minutes and structural damage to homes was limited to a few broken windows and one severely damaged roof.

The tornado began to form above the Convent Glen Shopping Centre on Jeanne d’Arc Blvd. and eventually touched down behind 857 and 859 Willow Ave., just east of Champlain Street, severely damaging their fence and several trees in their back yard.

“I started seeing leaves flying around and then the fence started shaken and the sound was unbelievable it was so loud like a jet engine. It lasted about 15 or 20 seconds,” said homeowner Richard Proulx who lives at 857 Willow Ave. The tornado then traveled east causing significant tree damage on Borland Drive.

The worst hit house was 915 Borland Dr. which lost part of its roof.

From Borland, the tornado ripped through Marsha and Big Bird Parks, uprooting dozens of mature trees and causing extensive damage to trees and fencing along Lawnsberry and Mockingbird Drives which border the two parks.

After ripping through Big Bird Park, the tornado jumped over Tenth Line Road and blew past the Alavida La Promenade

Retirement Residence before hitting Riverwalk.

Susanne Dawson was having a cigarette outside the retirement residence after visiting with her mother when she saw the twister heading straight towards her.

“There was actually two funnel clouds and another white one that looked like it was trying to form. I got so scared that I ran back into the building until they passed,” said Dawson.

The damage along Wincanton Drive and Lawlor Crescent was extensive. At least 70 per cent of the trees were either snapped in half or uprooted. Several of the trees fell on cars that were parked in their driveways. But other than a bunch of shingles getting blown off some roofs, the houses were left relatively unscathed.

Peter Schulz was in his basement watching a movie when the tornado hit.

After it passed he had to go out the back door because the front door was blocked by a fallen tree which caved in the back of his Hyundai Elantra.

“It’s insane. All the trees are down. You couldn’t even walk out here,” said Schulz.

Within minutes of the tornado, residents were already outside cleaning up the damage with chainsaws. They were soon joined by professionals like Gerry Vlug from ArborXperts, who came as soon as he learned of the location to donate his time and expertise.

Michelle Santerre lost a tree whcih had been in her front yard on Lawlor Crescent for the past 23 years. It was completely uprooted and landed on the trunk of her neighbour’s car.

Santerre was on the phone with her sister when the tornado hit. “At first I saw

my neigbour’s apple tree fall on my fence and I started crying and saying a lot of words I can’t repeat,” said Santerre. “It’s so sad. It’s quite disheartening to lose so many trees, but that’s Mother Nature.”

“You hear about tornadoes and you see them on TV, but you never think they’re going to happen here in Orléans,”

added Santerre.

From Riverwalk, the tornado damaged the roofs on several three-storey condo buildings on Prestige Circle. It then traveled along the Ottawa River turning into a water spout.

Navan Builders Wall con’t Continued from page 4

The husband and wife duo of Ray and Juanita Vetter have only lived in Navan for 15 years, but in those 15 years they have managed to make a significant impact on the community.

Chief among their many projects and initiatives are the Navan Fall Fest and the Nifty-Fifty seniors club that Juanita started in 2012 and has grown to more than 70 members.

Ray Vetter has become a fixture with the Friends of the nearby Mer Bleue Bog and the Navan Community Association.

Together they make a formidable team which as had a positive impact on the village and their fellow residents.

Tom Devesceri has been Navan’s unofficial official photographer for more than 15 years, recording countless events with his camera. In fact, that are very few people in Navan who Devesceri hasn’t photographed over the years at one event or another. He is also a dedicated member of the Navan Lions Club.

Devesceri was honoured with a place in the Builder’s Wall for his years of volunteer service to the community.

While all that was being taken care of, Stroz was recruiting and interviewing hair stylists who wanted to be a part of her exciting new venture.

In the end, she took on eight stylists all from the area and all of whom brought their own clientele to the studio which is divided into two halves. On one side is the hair wash station and styling stations and on the other side is the tinting and colouring stations.

The salon has a very stylish, contemporary look to it with brick on several of the walls, barnwood accents and Edison lights hanging from old wooden beams.

“It’s a bit more upscale than you norm-ally find in Orléans,” says Stroz.

“It has a lofty, downtown feel that you don’t see around the area and that makes us really stand out.”

Wild & Free is a certified Schwarzkopf Professional hair colouring salon, which specializes in balayage, which is the latest thing in highlighting.

“It’s such a beautiful way of doing highlights, because it’s customized. Everyone comes out with their own sort of thing. It’s a very natural look,” says Stroz.

The Stroz family is also proud of the fact that Wild & Free is a Green Circle salon. That means they recycle all of their waste, including the hair clippings which are turned into sponges used to soak up oil spills. The foil, aerosol cans and leftover colour is also recycled.

You find out more about the Wild & Free Hair boutique at www.facebook.com/ wildfreehair, or on Instagram.

STAR STAFF – Kayleigh Stroz wants to set trends, not follow them. It’s one of the reasons the hair stylist of 12 years opened her own salon on Innes Road in partnership with her parents, David and Dawn.

The Wild & Free Hair Boutique on Innes Road is a full-service hair salon that specializes in colouring and highlighting and making their clients feel... well, wild and free. The name comes from the Henry David Thoreau quote “All good things are wild and free,” which has often been interpreted as “Everything beautiful is wild and free.”

“I really liked the idea of linking beauty to being wild and free and that’s the sense we want to give our clients. It suits our spirit here” says the 31-yearold Stroz, who studied marketing and business along with hair styling at Algonquin College.

Stroz has held every job possible in the hair salon business, including in management. Tired of working for someone else she finally decided to open her own salon earlier this year.

The first step was to find a location which is across the street from the Walmart store at Innes and Frank Bender.

She then enlisted the help of her father and brother Cameron who renovated the interior using local materials including barnwood they purchased from the Proulx Farm in Cumberland.

She also called on her sister, Seona, a graphic designer, to team up with Dawn, well known in the community and together they worked on crafting the perfect marketing campaign.

DINING OUT

St. Martha’s new menu contains some delicious additions

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star It has been a little over a year since Chef Michel Gaumond took over the culinary operations at St. Martha’s Brasserie. Now after a year in the Executive Chef’s jacket, he’s put his own special twist on the restaurant’s menu – modifying several dishes and adding several others.

When St. Martha’s burst on to the local culinary scene in 2012, the French brasserie-influenced menu was met with rave reviews.

At the time, it was the lone upscale restaurant in Orléans surrounded by a sea of cookie-cutter, familyoriented eateries. But in the five years since St. Martha’s opened, it has been joined by other fine dining establishments like Cucina de Vito, OCCO Kitchen, Soul Stone and Caravela.

Together they have raised the culinary bar in Orléans to exciting new heights. Residents no longer need to drive downtown to enjoy a fine dining experience. They can do so right in their own back yard.

It is in that environment of an increasingly discerning clientele that Chef Michel decided to tweak the menu, giving everyone several new reasons to make a reservation.

Chef Michel called on his training at the Cordon Bleu culinary school and the experience he gained working in some of the leading restaurants in Europe and New York City to come up with changes to the new menu.

His goal was to offer food that appeals to the three senses associated with fine dining – smell, sight and taste.

First, St. Martha’s regulars can take comfort in the fact that several favourites, like the Steak et Frites, the Beef Osso Buco and the Beau’s Burger have been left untouched as have the Margherita, Porc fumé de Lavergne and the Grilled Chicken and Goat Cheese pizzas.

Some of the new items include pan fried Calamari, a Nicoise salad, the Ratatouille and the Porchetta. Other items have been reconstructed and/or modified like the Mussels and Fries, the St. Martha’s house salad and Poulet Suprme which is now stuffed with Andouille sausage and smothered in cajun shrimp sauce.

I was fortunate to get an advance tasting of the new menu and I can’t wait to go back to try more.

For starters, my dining companion and I had the Salmon Tartar and the Calamari.

The tartar is made up of large chunks of raw salmon cured in lemon juice and olive oil and served on a pickled slice of artichoke heart and topped with a poached egg.

It was amazing. And the lightly breaded Calamari was cooked to perfection or at least that was the opinion of my companion who is a self-titled calamari expert.

For main course we had the Jarret d’agneau and the Confit de Canard Vietnamien. Both dishes scream of the new twists Chef Michel has placed on the menu.

The Jarret d’agneau is a made up of a lamb shank braised in a Moroccan-style sauce with raisins, currants and slivers of almonds.

Wow. Suffice it to say, I know have a new item to add to my list of favourite dishes in Orléans.

THE SUITE LIFE

Promenade Seniors’ Suites is Orléans’ newest retirement community. Alavida’s

The case for retirement home living: is it affordable?

Researching the cost of living in a retirement community has given me a whole new perspective on options available to me and my husband when the time comes to leave our home.

Barring tragedy, I am confident we will remain in our house for many years to come. But, as we know, circumstances can change in a heartbeat. We had never considered retirement home living as an alternative to either buying a condo or renting an apartment once it was time to downsize from our two-storey home.

With friends living both in private retirement homes and long-term care facilities, as well as through people I have met writing this column, I have visited many residences, providing varying levels of care, over the past few years. I admit to having sticker shock at the cost, which can easily run from about $3,000 a month to as much as $10,000 for high-end accommodation.

To get some clarity on the issue, I went to Chartwell Belcourt and met with general manager Marie-Noël Lévesque and Marise Bellavance, a retirement living consultant.

They agree there is a perception that living in a retirement community is expensive. But, they stress, people fail to

A Seniors Moment

by Heather Jamieson grasp the whole picture by not taking into account the amount of money they won’t be spending by no longer living in their own home.

(Chartwell is not unique in readily supplying prospective residents with tools to help them realistically assess their budgets and in encouraging people to visit several retirement homes to find the one that is the right fit.)

There are significant costs to living in your own home, even if mortgage-free: utilities; municipal taxes; insurance; home maintenance, such as snow clearing and lawn care; the cost of food; homecare if needed; potentially renovations to make the home more accessible; and, as every homeowner knows, the unexpected, big ticket items like needing to replace appliances or fix a damaged roof.

Many seniors resist the idea of selling their house, even at the urging of their

children who understand the sale of the house (along with other sources of income such as private pensions, Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security and income from RRSPs and RIFFS) could support many years of retirement home living.

Such resistance, Lévesque says, is often due to the challenge some seniors have in making the transition from saving money to spending it.

“Seniors have been saving all their lives, either for themselves or for their children. But even when they are financially comfortable, they don’t want to spend it on themselves,” she says Depending on the level of service, you can save considerable money on food and entertainment, and in semi-independent or assisted living, eliminate the need to buy groceries, cook and do housework.

For those willing, or forced, to give up their driver’s licence, all retirement homes supply transportation to grocery stores, local shopping centres, attractions and events, saving residents the expense of gas, insurance, maintenance and responsibility of owning a car.

There are situations in which seniors do not have the income to fully fund retirement home living, but are too proud to accept financial help from their children.

Respectful of that, Lévesque recalls one instance in which a resident was given a monthly invoice for the amount of rent he could afford, never knowing that the balance was paid by his four children.

Bellavance acknowledges that downsizing from a large home, in which you’ve lived for decades can be daunting, as is the transition from a house into a twobedroom or studio apartment. But she encourages seniors not to wait.

Living in an independent living facility, which you have chosen yourself for its location, amenities and services, increases your options if changes are necessary. In most cases, you can continue to live in the same place and transition to assisted or semi-independent living.

Many retirement communities have specialized memory care units and, whatever your circumstances you, will have the expertise of the retirement home staff to guide you. Outside medical services provided through the Champlain Local Health Integration Network and palliative care are available to retirement home residents.

Ultimately, adds Lévesque, you can’t put a price on the peace of mind retirement home living provides both to residents and their families.

The benefits of seeking care through companionship Special to the Orléans Star

companion to have a cup of tea with your great-aunt, the service focuses on building a friendship between the client and the companion.

Despite the simplicity of companionship, many families are unable to provide the level of companionship loved ones require.

About 2-in-5 seniors need assistance to get through everyday tasks, such as getting dressed, shopping for groceries, and attending medical appointments.

Fortunately, home care agencies like Seniors for Seniors, are able to provide long-term or short-term companionship services to busy families. Having mature companions assist with these tasks allows the senior to feel supported yet independent, while providing family members with peace of mind.

For seniors, successful companionship occurs when the caregiver can form a genuine friendship based on commonalities. Where there is friendship, there is openness. The elderly can benefit greatly from working with Seniors for Seniors companions who they may come to consider as friends, and who are trained in First Aid, as well as dementia and Alzheimer’s care.

Through regular contact with senior clients, our mature companions are more

Across Canada, a growing number of seniors are stepping back from their communities, families, and friends, and finding themselves lonelier than ever.

Social isolation often affects seniors without support systems as well as those who have recently experienced major life transitions including retirement, the death of a spouse, or downsizing.

Fortunately, a number of Canadian organizations have developed community programs targeted at building the social connections that are vital to seniors’ physical and emotional well-being.

At Seniors for Seniors, our approach to seniors care is unique; we create meaningful connections for the elderly through companion care services.

As Ontario’s leading provider of nonmedical home care for senior populations, we offer an array of services which include: drop-in companions; live-in companions; driver companions; overnight assistance; house cleaners and handypersons. Our services are available to private residences, hospitals, long-term care facilities and retirement homes. All services provided are framed in the context of companionship – whether it’s a driver companion to drive your father to appointments, or a drop-in

likely to notice subtle changes that might indicate a decline in physical or cognitive function and will be able to bring this to the attention of the senior’s health care professional before the problem worsens.

Companionship has also been shown to have a significant effect on the emotional, mental, and physical state of seniors. It encourages them to connect and maintain relationships, which can minimize the risks of negative health behaviours and improve social skills. More importantly, senior clients feel like they’re part of the solution, as mature companions may collaborate with seniors to develop new routines that

Lady Knights capture AAA high school soccer title

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The St. Peter Knights varsity girls soccer team won the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association AAA championship on May 30 with a dominating 4-0 win over the Sacred Heart Huskies.

Emily Hume scored twice for the Knights and Amelia Thompson and Emily Smith added a goal each.

Hume opened the scoring with a goal from just outside the penalty area that found the bottom corner of the net. Less than a minute later Knights keeper Anna Deambre made a difficult diving save to keep the Huskies off the score sheet.

As the play shifted back into the Huskies end, Hume delivered her second goal of the game with a booming shot that deflected off the bottom of the crossbar and into the net.

The score remained 2-0 in favour of the Knights until Thompson provided an insurance marker at the 19th minute of the

second half.

The Knights’ fourth goal was provided

by Smith in the final minute of the game.

It was the school’s first girls AAA soccer title in it’s 27-year history. The senior boys team accomplished the feat in 2006 and went on to place fourth at the provincial championships.

Knights coach Ben Markatti says the girls team is the most talented squad he’s coached since 2006 when he coached the boys team.

“We have strengths everywhere. Don’t really have any weaknesses and they are used to playing at a high level,” said Markatti.

Three members of the team – Peyton Fairchild, Clare Rea and Demambre – all play in the Ontario Provincial Development League, Sheridan Michel is in the national program and Hume will be playing at the University of Ottawa next year.

The Knights success in the city championship carried over to the OFSAA pro-

The team’s success bodes well for the future, especially when you consider how
