LRT passes first test with flying colours

Commuters scramble to be the first members of the public to ride on the LRT during its inaugural run on Saturday. FRED SHERWIN PHOTO

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star It’s been 10 years in the making, but the wait is finally over as thousands of east end commuters enjoyed taking the LRT to and from work for the first time this week.

After passing its inaugural weekend with flying colours, the train was ready to welcome commuters at the Blair Station on Monday morning and zip them downtown in quiet efficiency.

After the morning rush hour went off with barely a hiccup, the afternoon commute went much the same way.

Commuters who boarded the train downtown were greeted by a phalanx of buses at the Blair Station which took them to all points further east along routes 95, 93, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37 and 38.

A number of people interviewed by the Orléans Star on Monday said having

to transfer from the bus to the train in the morning and vice versa in the afternoon added 10 to 15 minutes to their commute in each direction, but they weren’t complaining as the ride on the spacious, clean and extremely quiet train was well worth it.

“I’d much rather take the train than the bus,” said Orléans resident Ken MacDonald.

“It’s just too bad it ends here and you have to get on a bus again.”

The only beef that a few people had was the layout of the platform and the distance they had to walk from the train to the bus.

But the complaints were few and far between as most people enjoyed the novelty of getting to ride the train.

The LRT was officially launched on Saturday during a ceremony at Tunney’s Pasture that was attended by former mayors Bob Chiarelli and Larry O’Brien.

LRT makes impressive debut Continued from page 1 After the prerequisite speeches by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Ontario Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney, the assembled dignitaries boarded the train with a throng of journalists, current and former city staff members and the entire city council for a trip to Blair Station and back.

After the return trip to Tunney’s Pasture, Beacon Hill, Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney drove back to Blair Station to welcome the dozens of people who had lined up to catch a ride on the first train which was scheduled to leave the station at 2 p.m.

When he arrived at the station, he was still giddy from his trip on the train.

“When you’re on the train and see how easy it’s going to be from the users’ perspective, you really realize what a game changer this is going to be for the city,” said Tierney who plans to be a regular rider. “Why would you ever drive again?”

Orléans resident Pierre Rondeau arrived at Blair Station at 8:30 a.m. to make sure he was able to get on the very first train at 2 p.m.

“I am so glad to be here on the first day. This is a historic moment,” said Rondeau. “I’ve been waiting 10 years for this. I’ve been excited since the day they said they were thinking about it. I only wish it came to Orléans already.”

Work on the second phase of LRT, which will see it extended all the way to Trim Road, has already begun. It will take five years to complete. In the meantime commuters will be able to enjoy traveling along the existing line in quiet comfort.

Local federal election race gets underway in­earnest

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The local election race is about to jump into high gear this week with the selection of a Liberal candidate during a nomination meeting scheduled to take place this Thursday night at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

The meeting is being held a week after the federal election got underway and just three short weeks before area residents can vote in a series of advance polls. The General Election will be held on Monday, Oct. 21.

More than 6,000 local Liberal members are eligible to vote during the nomination meeting where they must choose between Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde, who is hoping to make the switch from Queen’s Park to the House of Commons, and Khatera Akbari, who stepped down as the local riding association president to challenge Lalonde.

Whoever wins the nomination will have to hit the ground running.

The Conservative candidate, David Bertschi, has been knocking on doors and meeting potential voters for the better part of four months, backed up by a small army of volunteers.

All those doors and all those voter encounters has resulted in a smattering of

lawn signs throughout the riding which includes all of Orléans west of Trim Road and Blackburn Hamlet.

On Saturday, more than 60 supporters were on hand for the official opening of Bertschi’s campaign headquarters on St. Joseph Blvd.

Scattered throughout the enthusiastic crowd were a number of disavowed former Liberal supporters such as former Cumberland town councillor Fern Casey who plans to vote David Bertschi Conservative for the first time in 72 years.

“I’m supporting David because I think he will be a very strong voice for Orléans and hopefully he will be able to get us almost as much as the west end has,” said Casey. “I have so much confidence in David. I had hoped he won the nomination the last time, but as you know, Trudeau stepped in and chose to appoint a star candidate, which was a real shame. But I’m standing by David because I believe in him so much.”

Casey was referring to the Liberal

nomination process in the run up to the 2014 General Election when Bertschi was disqualified from running by the Liberal Party of Canada, which paved the way for outgoing Liberal MP Andrew Leslie to run unopposed.

The retired Lieutenant General is stepping down after serving just one term.

Bertschi switched party allegiance in the spring, citing a number of reasons including Prime Minister Trudeau’s mishandling of the SNC-Lavalin affair, and what he sees as a systematic attack on Canada’s shrinking middle class.

Under a Conservative government lead

by Andrew Scheer, Canadians will no longer have to pay GST on their heating bills, or pay for the Liberal’s controversial carbon tax which would be scrapped immediately, said Bertschi.

Those words were music to the ears of Gerry Carisse who has cast his ballot in past elections depending on the candidate.

This time around, he plans to vote for Bertschi.

“I like David’s approach to community. He’s been here for a long time and he’s been involved in everything. And he’s a listener, which is a pleasant change. A lot of politicians say they will listen to their constituents, but I’ve been with David going door-to-door and my goodness, he’s

done a lot of listening already.”

The other names that will be on the ballot in October are NDP candidate Jacqui Wiens and Green Party representative Michelle Peterson.

Wiens is currently splitJacqui Wiens ting her time between canvassing door-to-door and studying history and political science at the University of Ottawa. Her key issue is climate change and the need for Canadians to do more when it comes to reducing carbon emissions.

Peterson is a registered psychotherapist who has worked in the community services sector in Ottawa for 15 years.

Michelle Peterson She is a working single mom with a five-year old child who wants to champion the need for expanded mental health services in Canada.

Politics at play By the time most of you read this editorial, area Liberals will have finally picked a candidate to run in the federal election.

To say it’s about time is an understatement of biblical proportions.

This is by far the latest the Liberals have ever taken in selecting a candidate in Orléans. Conventional wisdom would dictate that a candidate be selected months before the writ is dropped. The conservatives held their nomination meeting in June and the NDP had picked their candidate back in April.

So why have the Liberals taken so long? That’s a good question which only the mucky mucks at Liberal Party headquarters can answer.

One theory is that they did it to allow front-runner Marie-France Lalonde to make the most of her current position as the local member of provincial parliament. Her Facebook page contains over 20 posts from events she’s attended over the summer including the groundbreaking ceremony for the Orléans Health Hub and the announcement of federal funding for a French language university in Ontari0, both of which are key to a successful election campaign should she win the nomination.

On the other hand, the delay has allowed Lalonde’s opponent, Khatera Akbari, the chance to register several thousand new Liberal members which has made the race a lot closer than it would have been if the nomination was held in June.

Lalonde has also been able to continue drawing a salary through the summer right up until the present time. According to election rules, a sitting member of the provincial legislature doesn’t have to relinquish their position until and after they win the nomination.

But while the delay has allowed Lalonde to continue to receive a paycheque, it has also allowed Akbari to organize and register new members, which could come back to bite Lalonde on the behind.

As of Monday morning the two candidates had registered over 6,000 members.

Whoever ends up capturing the local Liberal nomination will come down which of the two candidates can best convince enough of those new members to come and vote.

Once the nomination meeting is over and a candidate is chosen, those same new members will be needed for the push to Election Day on Oct. 21. The Liberals are hoping the momentum generated by the nomination process will carry over to the campaign.

They will need it, because if there is one thing the campaign for Conservative nominee David Bertschi has it’s momentum.

Bertschi and his team have logged hundreds of hours and knocked on thousands of doors over the past two and a half months and they are on a roll. Whether or not all those hours will equate to an election victory is anybody’s guess, but they’ve definitely made the most of their head start.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Unfounded climate change opinion not based on fact To the editor: I have previously commented on your editorial posture regarding “climate change” (Re: “Preparing for the worst, while hoping for the best” – Orléans Star, Sept. 19). I feel that by raising the issue again as you have just done, you are inadvertently creating a large body of ill will.

The alarmist/imminent catastrophic claims that you note are not founded in fact. The recorded history demonstrates that we are enjoying the most beneficial climate in and around our current time period.

I do not know where you are getting your information from, but some of the unreal claims you are repeating would seem to be based upon claims made by proponents of the ‘models’, which themselves are hugely error prone. For example, water vapour is the main greenhouse gas, (not CO2), there is some 100 times more water vapour than CO2, and, some 1,000 times more heat capacity.

The models do not include any clouds because their effects are too variable and cannot be accurately modelled.

Millions and millions of atmospheric data measurements have been made and continue to be made daily. The observations extracted therefrom

do not agree with the output (‘projections’) of the inexact models.

The forecast “hotspot” that is predicted by the models and the “climate scientists” has not been found, despite the millions of data measurements and observations. It is unlikely to exist.

In the way you have presented your understanding of ‘climate change’, you have become just another purveyor of ‘bogeyman’ scares that do not have any foundation in fact.

The invective is almost palpable, as you write about these matters, and this does not serve you or your reading public well.

LRT brings Ottawa’s transit system into 21st century Well, it’s finally here. At long last and after numerous delays, LRT is finally a reality. Albeit a limited reality, but a reality just the same.

As the saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step”.

In this case, the first step cost $2.1 billion and took five years to complete.

The second phase which will see LRT extended to Trim Road in the east, Riverside South and the Ottawa Airport to the south and Moodie Drive and Algonquin College to the west, will cost another $3 billion plus. A bargain at twice the price.

Five or six billion dollars is a small price to pay to bring Ottawa’s transit system into the 21st century.

Having ridden the train over the weekend, I can attest to the fact that is both quiet and comfortable. What it isn’t is convenient. It is still easier and far more convenient for me to drive downtown than to take a bus from my humble abode in Falllingbrook, transfer to another bus at Place d’Orléans and then transfer again to the train at Blair Station – and that’s after you factor in the time it takes to find a parking spot.

Still, there are thousands of people who will take the train every day to get to and from work and that’s a good thing.

Up Front ’

Fred Sherwin One of the factors most people overlook when discussing the benefits of light rail is the train’s positive impact on the environment.

The LRT, which is fully electric, will create a much smaller carbon footprint than the buses did when they were lined up on Slater and Albert Street idling away as they waited for the people to get on board.

Even if you don’t plan to use the LRT you have to appreciate its environmental benefits, which will be even greater once Phase 2 is completed.

Another nice aspect about the train is your ability to take your bike onboard.

This is a great option for cyclists who will be able to ride their bike to their station of choice, take the train on down the line and bike the rest of the way to their destination.

It’s also a wonderful alternative to

driving to some of the stations where there is no parking or the designated parking is a 20-minute walk away, like it is at Gloucester Centre.

(Personally, I would just park over in the Scotiabank Cinemas lot across the way from the shopping centre and pretend I’m watching a movie. Although that will only work for a couple of hours or so.)

The first real test for the LRT came on Monday and for the most part, it passed with flying colours, at least in the east end where a phalanx of buses ferried commuters from Blair Station to Orléans without a hitch. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the west end, where delays caused a massive backlog.

Of course, the real test for LRT will come once the snow starts flying.

Monday’s first real test was carried out in perfect weather. What happens when the first snowstorm hits? The platform at Blair Station is wide open to the elements.

Their are some bus shelters, but not nearly enough to accommodate the rush hour crowd.

Veteran commuters will tell you that they had to contend with foul weather conditions for years while waiting for the bus on Slater Street or the Albert Street bridge. The advent of LRT just means a change in venue. Instead of having to wait

for the bus downtown, they will now have to wait for the bus at Blair Station.

The commute will be exponentially better when Phase 2 is completed, but that’s still a long way off. Four years may seem like an eternity to a lot of folks, but it’s been 10 years since city council first discussed building light rail and five years since the work began.

The next four years will be a true test of patience for east end residents. If you think Phase 1 caused massive headaches with people having to contend with the construction, you haven’t seen anything yet. Think of the delays caused by the sinkhole in 2012 and now multiply them tenfold.

The sinkhole shut down the eastbound 174 for nearly two weeks. Once work begins on Phase 2 of LRT along the 174, the highway will be reduced to a limited number of lanes for the better part of the next four years, forcing drivers on to alternative routes like Montreal and Innes roads. Of course, they could always get out of their cars and board a bus to Blair Station, but some habits are hard to break.

As for myself, I have the luxury of being able to live and work in the same place and I like it that way. No muss. No fuss. And no traffic jams.

Orléans Terry Fox Run benefits from renewed interest

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star It’s been 39 years since Terry Fox inspired a nation with his Marathon of Hope. His inspiration lives on every September with the annual Terry Fox Run, which is held in hundreds of communities across Canada and more than 30 countries throughout the world.

For most of those years, area residents have gathered in the parking lot at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School to take part in the Orléans Terry Fox Run. This year’s run was held under bright sunshine which helped bring out more than 260 participants including Carol-Anne Chenard, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, her sister, brother in-law, mother and seven-year-old niece Anika who raised more than $315 for the cause.

“We’re running for Terry Fox and my Auntie Carol-Anne,” Anika said when

asked why she was there.

And while it was the young girl’s very first Terry Fox Run, it was the 39th in a row for Orléans resident Nelson Waddell, who has raised nearly $115,000 over that time period.

On Sunday, Waddell was joined by his wife, his daughter, granddaughter and two great granddaughters the youngest of whom is just six weeks old.

Looking ahead to the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope next year, Waddell has already issued a challenge to his fellow Orléans residents.

“If 40 people can raise $40 each I will match the money they raise,” said Waddell before setting off on the 5K course.

Local Terry Fox Run organizer Jahn Fawcett says the Terry Fox Foundation is usually more involved in the Terry Fox Runs on the big anniversaries such as the 25th and 30th anniversaries.

Team Anika sets out on this year’s Terry Fox Run in support of Anika’s Auntie Carol-Anne (middle with gray top). Anika is in the white top. STAFF PHOTO “I’m pretty sure they will come up with something special,” says Fawcett.

This year’s event raised over $13,000,

while more than $750 million has been raised for cancer research during the 39year history of the Terry Fox Run.

European men’s store lands in the Rideau Centre NC – DAMAT TWEEN is now open in Canada’s Capital, making its first big splash in the North American market at the CF Rideau Centre. Fashion-conscious men in Ottawa now have a new best selling brand with which to expand their wardrobe.

DAMAT TWEEN is a luxury men’s fashion brand, brought to Canada from Turkey by NEXTRUE, a family-owned firm working hand-in-hand with many of the world’s leading corporations.

Luxi Mathi is the CEO of LUXI, the international fashion marketing agency hired to spread the word about DAMAT/ TWEEN’s arrival in North America.

“The luxury men’s line speaks for itself and the quality is outstanding,” says Mathi.

“Turkey is often known for influencing the international fashion markets and it is genuinely amazing to see that the considerably avant-garde brand, DAMAT TWEEN had chosen to commence their journey in all of America, here in Canada, specifically Ottawa.”

LUXI describes DAMAT as an affordable luxury brand with a “total look” philosophy. It describes TWEEN as a trend setting, unique and dynamic

brand – a “perfect synthesis of technology and tradition.”

“It is time for Canadians to take advantage of a brand sending us textiles with patterns, colors and fashion influences straight from one of the world’s leading sources,” says Mathi. “It’s a really nice brand. The quality is outstanding. We use mostly Italian fabrics. I am proud to say, consumers are already falling in love with what they see and touch.”

DAMAT had stepped into the readyto-wear sector since 1986, registered as a “consumer’s favourite menswear brand”; creating modern styles with high quality fabrics and elegant designs. “TWEEN” had gained acclaim from its original designs, in the menswear sector.

DAMAT has locations in five continents and 82 countries around the world. It has about 380 stores and more than 1,000 sales points globally.

They plan to expand their operations over the next few years to Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver in Canada along with Canada-wide shipping available to the public very soon. In several major centres south of the border in the United States.

DAMAT/TWEEN is located on the third floor of the Rideau Centre next to Tiffany’s. The European-based clothier designs and produces upscale clothing and accessories using the latest trendsetting fabrics and materials. The Ottawa store is the first to open in North America. FILE PHOTOS

The Ottawa TFC team is made up of Chanelle Chaput, Riley Bonadie, Lauren Curran, Flavia Dubé, Emily Smith, Paige Robert, Kylen Grant, Kylie Laframboise, Jessica Boyle, Melanie Cane, Véronique Bolduc, Joelle Chackal, Amelia Thompson and Katelyn Brzozowski. The head coach is Pavel Cancura. The assistants are Duane Bonadie and Patrick Doyle and the team manager is Frances Smith. FRED SHERWIN PHOTO

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The Ottawa TFC under-17 girls soccer team will be heading to P.E.I. to play in the national championship next month after beating the Vaughan Azzuri 1-0 on Sept. 8 to win the Ontario Cup, becoming the third Cumberland United Soccer Club team to win the provincial championship in the last three years.

The TFC ladies played an outstanding game, creating a number of scoring chances in the later stages of the first half and the middle section of the second half before Flavia Dubé redirected a pass from Devon Vermaire for the decisive

goal in 71st minute of the 90-minute game.

Dubé is one of three 15-year-old players on the team who has played on all three Ontario Cup winning teams.

She was on the Cumberland Cobras U13 Academy team in 2017 and the Cumberland Cobras U15 squad team last year. The other three-time winners are Riley Bonadie and Jessica Boyle.

It took TFC the better part of the first 25 minutes of the game for them to find their legs, but the momentum eventually shifted their way. Their first real scoring chance came in the 26th minute when Chanelle Chaput hit the crossbar from

about 25 metres out. The rebound came to Bonadie whose shot just soared over the crossbar by a foot or so.

Three minutes later, a foul in the penalty area on a TFC free kick from just outside the box led to the one and only penalty strike of the game. Unfortunately for TFC, the Vaughan keeper was equal to the task in stopping the shot to keep the score tied 0-0.

TFC would have another excellent scoring chance in the dying seconds of the first half, but Boyle’s free kick was just off the mark, sailing harmlessly over the crossbar.

The second half started the same way

the first half did, with Vaughan taking the play to a tentative TFC side, but Ottawa’s back line stymied everything the home team threw at them, as it did the entire game. Vaughan’s scoring chances were few and far between and whenever the ball did get threw to TFC keeper Paige Robert, she was in position to stop it including a pair of diving saves.

By the 20th minute of the second half, the TFC offense was in full stride.

Their forwards were much quicker than Vaughan’s defenders, creating a number of quality scoring chances.

U17 girls win Ontario Cup

Ottawa TFC to play for national championship Continued from page 11 During one such scoring opportunity, Boyle raced around her mark in the 65th minute only to have her shot stopped by the Vaughan keeper who had to make an excellent diving save on the play.

Two minutes later, Chaput was robbed of a sure goal by a desperate Vaughan defender who turned keeper in deflecting the shot wide of the net.

Ottawa TFC kept up the pressure as the play went on, creating another excellent chance in the 71st minutes when Vermaire and Dubé both came close to scoring on the same play before the Vaughan keeper managed to smother the loose ball.

The save only delayed the inevitable, however, as Dubé would score the eventual game winner on a cross from Vermaire in the 81st minute that deflected off a Vaughan defender who came back to try and help her keeper.

After a few tense moments in the final nine minutes of regulation and five excruciating minutes of injury time, the final whistle blew and the TFC girls could finally celebrate their historic win.

After the game, the club’s general manager and head coach, Pavel Cancura, praised his players, who span three age groups, for coming together and forming a cohesive unit throughout the season.

“So proud of these girls. They’re home grown and they’ve all come through the club,” said Cancura. “It’s such a special group. Before the year, we put three teams into one with the three age groups and it’s not an easy thing. As much as they’re a talented group of players,

they still have to come together and play as a team. And the way they’ve led each other and the atmosphere is the best I’ve ever seen as a coach.”

In a post-game interview, co-captain Lauren Curran echoed her coaches comments and added some of her own.

“I’m very happy to have all these girls beside me, winning this, it’s great,” said Curran. “Everyone was very confident going into it. We believed in each other and we knew we could win if we played together as a team.”

The girls on the team are a mix of French and English and go to several different high schools in the area including St. Peter, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Cairine Wilson, Béatrice-Desloges and Gisele-Lalonde.

The fact that Ottawa TFC has won the Ontario Cups is a rare enough feat in itself. Since 1976, only two other girls teams beside the Cumberland Cobras have won the coveted trophy – South Nepean United (U19) in 2001 and Ottawa South United (U13) in 2013. And only two male teams have accomplished the feat – Ottawa International (U17) in 2002 and Ottawa South United (U13) in 2015.

Cumberland United has now won the Ontario Cup three times in three years, which says a lot about the club and it’s developmental program under the leadership of its general manager and technical director Cancura, who also happens to be the head coach of the U17 girls team.

This is the first championship Cumberland United has won since they became affiliated with the Toronto FC Academy program last spring to form Ottawa TFC which

Ottawa TFC U15 girls team captures ERSL Cup

By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The Ottawa TFC soccer club went into the ERSL Cup finals on Sunday with three chances to walk away with the coveted trophy. The U14 Premier boys team, the U13 Premier girls squad and the U15 girls team all had high hopes going into the season-long tournament finale, but in the end it was only the U15 girls team that emerged victorious.

The U14 Premier boys team lost 2-1 to St. Anthony and the U13 girls squad suffered a 6-0 loss at the hands of the Ottawa South United which finished the season with a perfect 15-0-0 record in league and tournament play.

The U15 girls were the last hope Ottawa TFC had at winning an ERSL Cup final in 2019. They got off to a meteoric star when Nora Ghie scored off a corner kick with the game barely two minutes old.

After Seaway Valley scored to tie the game in the 32nd minute, Ottawa TFC took the lead for good eight minutes later on a goal by Sofia Xenos.

Insurance markers were added by Ghie and Gabrielle Birch to make the final score 4-1 in favour of the home side.

The Cup victory salvaged what had been a disappointing regular season for the U15 squad which placed fourth in the ERSL standings with a 7-1-4 record.

Their biggest win of the year came against Ottawa St.

St. Anthony finished the regular season at the top of the standings with a 10-0-2 record and they were the number one seed heading into the ERSL Cup tournament.

The semi-final win gave TFC all the confidence they needed heading into Sunday’s final.

In other action on Sunday, the Ottawa Gloucester Hornets were 0-for-2, losing both of the finals they appeared in. The club’s U15 Premier boys team lost to St. Anthony as did the U14 Premier girls team which was going for the difficult double after capturing the regular season title with a 12-2-0 record.

Hugo Djeumeni breaks off a long run against the Myers Riders in their mosquito game on the weekend.

FRED SHERWIN PHOTO

Panthers win 2 of 3 against Myers STAR STAFF – The Cumberland Panthers Football Club had another successful weekend on the gridiron this past week, winning two of three games against their west end nemesis, the Myers Riders. The lone loss was suffered by the Panthers peewee team whose record is now 2-2.

Wins were registered by both the Tyke #2 squad and the bantam team, both of which improved their records to 3-1. The marquee match-up of the day was the highly anticipated bantam game. The Panthers went into the game with a 2-1 record, while the Riders were a perfect 3-0.

After a tight first half of football it was the Riders who held a 7-0 lead heading into the third quarter.

But a turnover on the kick-off to open the second half and a quick touchdown by running back Khalid Campbell, the game was soon tied 7-7.

Another touchdown by Campbell in the third would give the home team a 14-7 lead, but it was short-lived as Myers was able to tie the score soon afterwards.

The score remained tied until late in the game when a perfectly timed interception by Campbell set the winning touchdown which was scored by... you guessed it, Khalid Campbell.

The Panthers then hung on the rest of the way for the win.

In other action, the Panthers mosquito team beat the Gatineau Vikings 47-0 and the Tyke #1 squad won by forfeiture over South Ottawa.
