Storm water pond named ‘Vic Whittaker Pond’ Special to the News

News - A ten acre storm water management pond in the new Blackstone community in the Fernbank lands in Stittsville is now the Vic Whittaker Pond. A ceremony to officially name this storm water pond as Vic Whittaker Pond took place at the pond on Monday, July 7 was hosted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Barrhaven ward councillor Jan Harder. The pond, which is surrounded by an asphalt pathway running around it at ground level, overlooking the sunken pond, is at the southern edge of the current development, with access via a pathway from Cavesson Street. Homes on the south side of Cavesson Street back onto the pond. Among those at the ceremony were city of Ottawa Kanata North ward councillor Marianne Wilkinson, Rob Pierce from Monarch Homes, former city of Ottawa mayor Jim Durrell, members of Mr. Whittaker’s family and friends and development industry contacts of Mr. Whittaker. In his remarks, councillor Qadri noted that the commemorative plaque bears the name Vic Whittaker Pond and he told why Ottawa city council had approved the naming of the pond

after Mr. Whittaker. This naming would let residents of the new Blackstone community know that Mr. Whittaker was one of those who was influential in the creation of the Blackstone community in Stittsville, he said. Mr. Whittaker has been involved in Ottawa’s land planning, development and residential building community for over five decades. A past president of the Ottawa Home Builders Association, he is known for his career in land development with Campeau Corporation with whom he began in 1953 and with Whittaker Consultants Limited. Working in association with Monarch Homes, he was instrumental in the planning process for the residential golf course community of Stonebridge in the Barrhaven area. Over the years, Mr. Whittaker has been involved in many development initiatives not only in Ottawa but in the United States and Europe as well. Internationally, he has done work on commercial development overseas. Most recently Mr. Whittaker has been involved with Monarch Homes in helping to develop the Blackstone community in the Fernbank lands.

But Mr. Whittaker has also been involved in the Ottawa community in other ways. He has been an active member of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa for 40 years. He has also been involved in fundraisers for CHEO, the Queensway Carleton hospital, the Ottawa Civic Hospital and the Ottawa Heart Institute. Councillor Harder and Mr. Pierce from Monarch Homes also both made remarks at the ceremony. The commemorative naming plaque, which will be mounted on a boulder at the storm water management pond, reads as follows: Vic Whittaker Pond. This storm water management pond is

named in commemoration of the exceptional community service and involvement of Vic Whittaker. As a prominent individual in land planning, development, and residential building, Vic Whittaker has been vital in shaping the landscape of Ottawa and was influential in the creation of the Blackstone community in Stittsville. His dedication to the City has been demonstrated by his many charitable and civic minded activities with his greatest contributions being through the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and hospitals in the City.� The commemorative naming of this storm water management pond as the Vic Whittaker Pond was approved by Ottawa city council on May 28 of this year.

News - History comes alive through personal stories and the third and most recent volume of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� is proof of this. In this latest compilation of interviews with longtime Goulbourn residents, Goulbourn’s history comes alive in the words and recollections of the seven people interviewed for this publication. These interviews even have a universal quality to them. For instance, Douglas Trimble’s descriptions of his family’s general store in Munster could bring back memories of virtually any general store anywhere in rural Ontario. Or Gilmour Brown’s recollections of life on the farm during the Depression could apply to farm life across Ontario at that time. But what makes these published interviews with their accompanying photographs so precious is that they tell so much about what life was like in Goulbourn in the past. And just who is telling these stories? Well, there’s Sterling Graham who grew up on a Goulbourn farm; Earl Moore who was born at Goodstown and has had a lifelong love of cars; Mel Fee who grew up on the family farm at Appleton and over the years has lived in Stittsville and Ashton; Catharina Wytenburg who was born in Holland, lived through the war there and came to Canada, moving to Goulbourn in 1960; Gilmour Brown who was born and lived on the family farm in Goulbourn and became a municipal politician; Douglas Trimble whose family ran the general store at Munster and who has voluminous recollections of life in Munster from the 1920’s onwards; and Eric Kirkham who was born on the second line of Goulbourn, one of a family of 14 children. This third volume of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� runs to 122 pages to cover the seven interviews involved. The interviews were conducted by Linda Preston and her sister Cheryl McCoy, with all of the interviews compiled for publication by Linda Preston. The editing was done by Hilda Moore of Richmond. It takes about two years to conduct the interviews and prepare everything for publication for one of these “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� volumes. The plan is to begin working on a fourth volume but it will not be published for at least two years, given the work involved in doing the interviews, transcribing them, assem-

Former flat farmland now home to storm water pond John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Glendon Moore knew it as level, flat farmland that grew crops as bountiful as any acerage in the area. But now this site on the land which is now home to the developing Blackstone community in the socalled Fernbank development lands in Stittsville is no longer level, flat farmland. Instead, it is now the site of a ten acre storm water management pond, dug out of the former farmland, with sloping sides as high as a house. This storm water management pond has been named Vic Whittaker Pond by the city of Ottawa after a person long involved in the development industry in the Ottawa area. The pond currently has new houses backing into its north side. Eventually, houses are expected to surround the pond. The pond features an asphalt pathway meandering around it, allowing pedestrians to stroll around the pond and look down on the water-filled basin which has bull rushes around parts of its shoreline. The sloping sides of the pond have numerous plantings and there are several benches located along the pathway where pedestrians can sit, overlooking the expansive pond which sometimes has wildlife such as ducks visible. This storm water pond has several pipes draining storm water to it. Eventually the pond will be the storm water receptacle for an area of about 2,500 new homes. There are massive rock walls which have been constructed at three locations around the pond, a stark contrast to the sloping earth sides which prevail for much of the pond. The pond, which is located almost directly north of the former Moore two-storey farm house which is now being used by Monarch Homes as the office premises for this Blackstone community, drains to the east via a watercourse which, like the pond, features numerous landscape plantings and, like the pond, has an asphalt walkway running beside it at the top of its valley-like southern bank. This watercourse roughly follows the route of a former municipal drain which used to flow eastward from the site that is now the storm water management pond but was farm fields.

This municipal drain was a branch of the Monahan Municipal Drain which eventually carried the water from the area to the Jock River. Indeed, Glendon Moore’s farm had two branches of this municipal drain running across the land – one at about where this new storm water management pond is and one farther north, closer to the former railway track that is now the Trans Canada Trail. These municipal drain branches provided outlet for the tile drainage which was installed in the Moore farm lands. Mr. Moore acknowledges that there is quite a slope to the land from west of his former farm right through to Terry Fox Drive. Indeed, he remembers that when he was young, he used to trap muskrats in the area of the former railway (now the Trans Canada Trail) and what is now Terry Fox Drive but was the Hazeldean Sideroad at that time. He recalls that a culvert underneath the railway track in that area sometimes used to flow one way and sometimes the other way depending on the water levels. But generally, water from land south of the former railway track in this area flows to the Jock River eventually while land north of the former railway track is drained by the Carp River. Another memory which Mr. Moore has as a youngster involves driving the horses as the hay was gathered up in a hay wagon. He himself at the time was not old enough to help with the haying work, so he had the job of driving the horses pulling the wagon. Indeed, this could have happened on the very farmland that is now the site of this new dug-out storm water management pond. This storm water management pond is one of several that are planned for the Fernbank lands area which eventually will have about 12,000 homes. Since development on such a scale means a lot of hard surface areas such as streets, storm water runoff becomes a concern and that is why storm water management ponds are required in such large new housing developments. This storm water management pond, now named the Vic Whittaker Pond, was build through the combined efforts of developers Cardel Homes, Monarch Homes and Richcraft Homes. Ten acres in size, it cost about five million dollars to construct. This cost includes the cost

of the landscaping involved in the project. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri notes that for this storm water management pond, like all other such ponds in the city, members of the public are not allowed to use the facility other than to walk around it. There is no swimming or boating allowed and no skating in the winter. A century of farming on land in this area for the Moore family came to a close in 2008 when Glendon Moore held a farm auction and then moved off the property as Monarch Homes was getting ready to begin development of what is now the Blackstone community. It all started for the Moore family in the first decade of the 20th century when Thomas George Moore, then a 30 year old farmer, moved in 1905 from the family homestead at what is now highway seven and Jinkinson Road in Goulbourn west of Stittsville. His sons, Wilbert and Merville, would continue farming at this location, with Merville taking over the home farm and Wilbert taking over the adjacent 97 3/4 acre parcel immediately to the east of the home farm. This is the farm where Glendon Moore would farm before selling the land for development. This land immediately east of the home farm had been owned by Thomas Shore and he sold the land to Glendon Moore’s father, Wilbert Moore. Wilbert and his brother Merville, on the home farm, shared farm equipment and worked together in their farming. Wilbert Moore built a gable-ended two-storey 36 foot by 70 foot barn in 1951 while also moving an existing smaller barn, 36 feet by 50 feet, to the north end of this new barn. This barn complex housed Wilbert Moore’s dairy herd of about 30 cows, a number of pigs and about 500 laying hens, located on two floors at the south end of the barn. Glendon Moore married Betty Saunderson in 1958 and then rented the farm from his father for a few years before he purchased it, with his parents moving to a bungalow at the front of the farm along Fernbank Road. In 1973, Glendon built a new 80 foot by 82 foot one storey red pole barn attached to the east side of the 1951 gable barn. It featured a milking parlour which made it much

easier to meet the needs of the farm’s dairy herd which had by then grown to about 60 milking cows. Glendon also was into cash cropping, renting 500 acres on adjacent land as well as farming another 50 acres of his own on the south side of Fernbank Road. Much of the land that he rented at one time will also be developed now as development progresses in the Fernbank lands.

Ottawa Valley Tours

Glendon ceased dairy farming in the early 1980’s but continued to cash crop with soybeans and corn until he left the farm in 2008. It was in 1990 that Glendon sold the land to a group of investors, taking back a mortgage while continuing to live and work on the farm. This investors group eventually sold the land to Monarch Homes which is the main developer of the land now.

Hockey4Wishes fundraiser for Make-A-Wish

On the density concerns, Caivan has agreed to a maximum of 750 units on their lands rather than the applied for 1000 units. Also, the setback from the road to the home will be four metres rather than the three metres originally sought. This will help keep the development closer in line with the existing community and less like a suburban development. Some of the benefits of this will include larger lots, more space for trees, less parked cars on the roads and more space for stormwater recharge within individual lots. I still don’t expect to see any new homes until at least 2016 and I imagine the growth rate will be consistent with what we have seen in Richmond over the last ten years. The rate has dipped a little recently with only 26 new homes built in 2013. An ideal comparison would be the Minto development in Manotick, which will see the addition of 1400 homes. So far, around 30 new homes have been built and construction began in 2012. While the new homes in Richmond will be a little more affordable, I don’t expect the growth rate to be anywhere similar to suburban development. The next steps will see Caivan satisfy their conditions of approval whereas I, along with the City, will work with Mattamy Homes to seek similar adjustments to density and other issues with their 1100 unit application. If you have any questions on this, feel free to contact me. Orgaworld & Green Bin Audit On July 9th, the Auditor General’s report into the Orgaworld contract and the green bin program was released. It revealed some serious deficiencies in how the program was launched and the agreement that was signed between the City of Ottawa and Orgaworld. One of the major issues was the proposed tonnage, of which there was no scientific basis for setting the target of 80,000 tonnes of collected organics per year. Ideally, the program should have had a ramp up period in order to progressively work toward 80,000 tonnes but that wasn’t even considered. A simple comparison could have been made to the blue box program which didn’t see much uptake initially but now almost every single laneway has a blue box at the end of it. These types of programs take time and the contract should have reflected that. It is easy for anyone who wasn’t on Council when the contract was signed to throw up their hands and say “it wasn’t me.” That is really not an acceptable approach and it is not what you expect from your elected official. The job we have is to make this better, fix what is wrong with the contract. The biggest challenge is making the green bin easier to use for all residents. In my opinion, the key is allowing organic waste to be disposed of in plastic bags and thrown into the bins. Obviously, this isn’t the current practice but in countless municipalities, they allow plastic bags. In those same municipalities, the diversion rate is much higher than here in Ottawa. It is important to note that the inclusion of plastic bags will not result in a reduced organic quality of the compost. The Orgaworld plant in London, Ontario accepts plastic bags currently and cycles them out inside the plant. After separation, the plastics are then diverted and used at a local cement plant in Southern Ontario. For the most part, we all want to prolong the life on our City-owned landfill, which just happens to be in Rideau-Goulbourn. We cannot, and should not, force people to divert waste; we need to make it easy. In the coming months, I believe we will have an opportunity to renegotiate the Orgaworld contract and I, along with many of my colleagues, will be pushing for the inclusion of plastic bags in green bins. This will reduce odours, result in less mess and more importantly, you won’t have to see the maggots that crawl around our bins from time to time. In the end, the result will be less waste going to the Trail Road landfill, less money being wasted on our inability to reach the contracted targets and, ultimately, a reduced need to locate a future landfill. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at Scott.Moffatt@ ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-5802491.

So, you can have some family fun skating, quite a treat in the middle of the summer, while also contributing to making wishes come true for children suffering from life threatening medical conditions. Everyone is welcome to take part in this family fun skate at the Bell Sensplex this Saturday, July 19 from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Children are reminded that they must wear helmets to take part. This family fun skate is a new addition to the third annual 24 Hours of Hockey4Wishes, a fundraising event for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario that was founded by two Stittsville residents, Joel Barrette and Carlos Zaidi. Over the past two years, this Hockey4Wishes marathon has raised $50,000 for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. And this year the fundraising goal has been set at $50,000, with all of the proceeds to go directly to Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tysen is a Stittsville youth who had his own wish granted by MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario and so decided to give back by launching a campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, enough to fund the granting of 100 wishes. So far, he has raised over $100,000. In this 24 Hours of Hockey4Wishes, teams of adults play games of non-contact hockey continuously over a 24 hour period, starting at 9 a.m. this Saturday, July 19 and running through to 9 a.m. this Sunday, July 20. The players involved will be playing 12 games over this 24 hour period. The inaugural Hockey4Wishes fundraiser two years ago raised $25,000 for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, allowing for the granting of three wishes. Last year’s fundraising goal was a similar $25,000 while this year the fundraising

One of the key issues from the community standpoint was stormwater and how the new development would handle surface water and not impact the existing community. One of the conditions of draft plan approval is that Caivan must host a public meeting to explain their approach to handling stormwater on site. Drainage was another issue and I can now confirm that the Arbuckle Drain has been approved and will provide adequate outlet for the development, between Perth Street and the Jock River. The drainage works will see erosion controls put in place to prevent future erosion from occurring. Similarly, the Van Gaal drain to the north of Perth Street will see the same benefits to the development and the surrounding properties.

As many of you may already know, the development application by Caivan Developments for 1000 units at 6335 & 6350 Perth Street was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board last fall. On May 26th, the OMB hearing was scheduled to take place with the City of Ottawa, Caivan and the Richmond Village Association all represented. Prior to this meeting, however, an agreement was reached with regard to the development application and Draft Plan Approval was granted. As promised a few weeks ago, I just wanted to detail some of the details of that approval.

goal has been set at $50,000. The concept involves participation of teams, each with 15 skaters and two goalies, with each team playing 12 one-hour games over the 24 hour period. Three meals are provided during the 24 hour event which is capped off with a gala brunch after the hockey ends at 9 a.m. on the Sunday. The hockey action is non-contact and non-competitive, involving adult recreational players of both sexes. Its pickup hockey in its most pure form as game scores are not recorded. About the only stat that is kept is the total number of goals scored. This Hockey4Wishes fundraiser is a reality because of two Stittsville hockey playing dads, Joel Barrette and Carlos Zaidi, who have combined their love of hockey with a desire to help Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario fulfill the wishes of children suffering from severe medical conditions. That they both have healthy children has only made them more passionate about helping parents who are not as fortunate as they are. Joel and Carlos attended an adult hockey skills camp together which is how they rekindled their interest in playing hockey. The idea of holding a fundraising hockey event came from the two of them sitting together in a dressing room and talking about such a fundraiser. It was Joel who came up with the concept of organizing it like a hockey marathon, as it were, with games being played over a 24 hour period. Joel had been involved in other 24 hour events such as relays and rallies so the idea of playing hockey for 24 hours straight had what he calls “a nice ring” to him. And it would be an event that would raise money for a charity. It was Carlos who came up with the idea of using this hockey marathon to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. He had been aware of MakeA-Wish not only through involve-

ment over a number of years through his workplace but also he knew of the work of Make-A-Wish because a friend of his daughter was a recipient of a wish from Make-A-Wish. This brought the work of Make-A-Wish close to home for him and so he suggested that Make-A-Wish be the recipient of funds raised by this hockey marathon event. Players sign up for the Hockey4Wishes event, paying a registration fee. This goes to help cover the costs associated with the event such as the ice rental, the meals that are provided and the personalized hockey jerseys. Players can be either male or female with varying skill levels and ages ranging from the 20’s to the late 50’s. There are also those who donate to the event or undertake their own fundraising efforts to raise money for the event. In addition, Hockey4Wishes has corporate sponsors. Joel Barrette reflects what is undoubtedly a common feeling when he points out that staying up all one night to play hockey may result in him being a little tired and sore the next day but when he compares this to what a family endures when a son or daughter is battling a life threatening disease, his tiredness and soreness is really nothing at all. He says that Make-A-Wish gives hope and joy to the children and families that it helps, giving them something to look forward to and giving them a little break from their lives that are normally filled with stress and worries about their sick child. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario grants wishes for children between the ages of 3 and 17 with life threatening medical conditions. The child does not have to be terminally ill and in fact many wish children grow into adulthood and lead happy lives. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario relies on funds donated by individuals, corporations and fundraisers like this Hockey4Wishes event to have the funds to grant wishes. Funds raised in Eastern Ontario stay in Eastern Ontario to help deliver wishes to children across the area. The receiving family does not pay anything for a wish that is granted. The objective of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario is to provide every qualified wish child and his or her family with a fantastic wish experience and memories that will last a lifetime. R0012774300

S.S. No. 5 reunion luncheon in Munster Special to the News

News - They met on Thursday, July 3 only steps from where they had attended elementary school. Over 40 former students of S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn at Munster met at Danby’s Restaurant in Munster for a reunion luncheon to renew friendships, share memories and enjoy a lunch together. Danby’s is located in the plaza at the northwest corner of Munster Road and Bleeks Road in Munster. The former S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn is located at the southwest corner of Munster Road and Bleeks Road in Munster. The stone school house, built in 1890, is now a reception hall. This reunion at Danby’s is the continuation of what has become an annual gathering for former students of S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn at Munster. These reunions got their start over ten years ago when a few classmates got together for a pot luck lunch at a home. When word got around, increasing numbers wished to attend and so the reunion was moved to a restaurant setting. This year’s gathering at Danby’s in Munster marked the third time that the reunion had been held there. A display of photos from previ-

ous gatherings and of former classes at S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn drew considerable attention from those at this year’s reunion luncheon. A 1943 school photo pictured much younger versions of four of the attendees at this year’s reunion – James Bobier, Tom Cavanagh, Rosemary (Cavanagh) Cranston and Patsy (McCarthy) Monuk. A number of those in attendance at this year’s reunion are

over 80 years of age, with Douglas Trimble being the oldest. He will be turning 89 this month. The popularity of this reunion is shown by the fact that attendees travel from far and wide to attend. Attendees this year travelled from Milton, Ottawa, Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Kinburn, Almonte, Barrhaven, Ashton and Richmond to be at the event.

S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn at Munster was built of stone in 1890 on land that had belonged to William Shillington. The school remained in continuous use until it was closed in 1967 with the arrival of schools which served students from the whole township. Over the years, the class at S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn varied in size from 25 students to 45 students, with ages ranging from 4 to 20.

S.S. No. 5 of Goulbourn at Munster is one of the more elaborate stone school houses in the area. Edged with quoins and trimmed with voussoirs, the walls of of cut rock-faced ashlar stone. The entrance was flush with the face of the building without an extended vestibule. The school had a bell tower and bell and at one time there was an old pump for the well in the front yard of the school.

OPINION EDITORIAL

A failure of leadership

T

he news that staff had significantly mishandled the city’s contract to manage organic waste with Orgaworld was met with disappointment by senior managers and members of council alike. As it should be. This council has a track record of fair handling of the city’s finances. Significant sums have been spent, but little of it in anything approaching a wasteful manner, mainly on large infrastructure projects that need to be completed sooner or later. On Orgaworld, however, those councillors and city staff who remain from last term when the deal was approved have left a trail of mismanagement and poor decision making. The findings of a report released last week by the city’s auditor general indicate that the current deal with Orgaworld has wasted more than $7 million since the start of the contract thanks to unused capacity and excessive processing costs. It will cost millions more over the life of the 20-year contract, and as much as $10 million to cancel the deal early, if the city chooses to do so. According to the auditor’s report, city staff are

to blame for the bungled contract – none of the expected research and analysis was done ahead of the matter going before council, the report says. But does this mean that the city’s management, especially city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who has served in that position for more than 10 years, should be absolved of any responsibility in the matter? Should those who voted to approve the deal? Of course not. While the likes of Kirkpatrick have accepted some level of responsibility for this debacle, residents should be angry. Under what circumstances should any decision be made without the appropriate information available to back that decision? River Coun. Maria McRae, now chairwoman of the environment committee, asked for that information yet never received it. That’s when questions should’ve been asked. Kirkpatrick told council the possibility of this situation repeating itself “has been removed� through protocol changes, but this failure should’ve been evident to anyone paying attention at the time. Voters would do well to consider these revelations come election time in October.

Football is back in town, but will it stick?

T

he full effect of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment won’t be felt until next year, when the residents of new condo developments move in. We’ll know something about the new shops and their impact on the Glebe when they open in the fall. It’s always possible everything will be as great as promoters of the project have said. Meanwhile, there is football, and this will be one of the most intriguing effects of all. The first home game for the new Ottawa RedBlacks is July 18. Can football make a comeback? Early indications are good: the first game is sold out. Further, the team has looked, in its early games, as if it belongs in the league. This won’t be some inexperienced push-

last days of the Rough Riders and the brief, unfortunate, life of the Ottawa Renegades. It’s hard to say whether weak fan support or bad management killed the Rough Riders, which folded in 1996. Whatever the causes, fan support was too weak to save the team. Similarly, fan support was not enough to keep the Renegades alive – a team that began in 2002, lasted four years and never made the playoffs. When football left Ottawa, both times, some wondered if Ottawa had simply ceased being a CFL kind of town. Maybe not. Maybe it was simply a case of badly run franchises turning off the fans.

That is certainly possible. But it is also true that this is a different kind of town than it was in the heyday of the Rough Riders. The RedBlacks face competition for people’s attention and ticket dollars from the Ottawa Senators and, to a lesser extent, from the Ottawa Fury FC. And then there are all the other distractions, many of them electronic, that didn’t exist back when the Rough Riders dominated the sports pages. The CFL, meanwhile, has changed too. Players are paid better than they were in the ’60s and ’70s. In the Russ Jackson era, players took jobs in the off-season and were visible in the community. There is greater distance between player and fan. Ottawa fans can be fickle, too. It’s hard not to think of the Ottawa Lynx. The Triple-A baseball team was big in the ’90s, until it wasn’t. Which is not to say it can’t work for the RedBlacks.

outgoing president Beth Lewis felt that the Club had had a busy and successful two years under her leadership. This included attracting new members, attending zone and district conventions, holding successful events such as a fundraiser for the new west Ottawa hospice, and the Club being nominated as Business of the Year in Stittsville. She said that she feels that the Stittsville District Lions Club had done a lot and had accomplished a lot over the past two years. She received a standing ovation from Club members when she had concluded her remarks. Outgoing president Beth Lewis also presented several special achievement awards to Lions Club members for their work and effort on behalf of the Club over the past two years. These were presented to Paul Riddell for serving as chairperson of numerous events; to Ed Meunier for his work as the Club’s secretary; to Don Carson for his work as the Club’s treasurer; to Gord MacIsaac for the work that he does on behalf of the club such as making repairs around the Lions Hall; and Ron Armstrong for looking after rentals of the Lions Hall and managing the bar. In his remarks at the installation night, incoming president Don Redtman pointed to increased membership as a goal in the coming year.

New lane to improve Eagleson Road traffic Construction at the intersection of Eagleson Road at Fernbank Road will start on Monday, July 14 to allow for the extension of the southbound right-turn lane. Work is expected to finish in September 2014. The lane will extend far enough to eliminate the existing lane reduction on Eagleson Road south of Cope Drive, resulting in two complete southbound lanes from Cope Drive to Fernbank Road. Construction will also involve adding a paved shoulder beside the southbound lane and installing a bicycle pocket at the intersection to accommodate cyclists continuing south through the intersection. Work will take place during the day only. No road closures are planned, but temporary lane reductions may be required. Cycling and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the construction period. Transit will operate as scheduled.

Part of the project involved the relocation of the Horticulture Building, a heritage structure designed by renowned Ottawa architect Francis Sullivan whose work also included designing St. Clare’s Catholic Church at Dwyer Hill. Ottawa city council is now designating the relocated Horticulture Building as a heritage structure under the Ontario Heritage Act. The previous heritage designation for the building had been removed so that it could be relocated. Relocating the Horticulture Building 600 feet from its previous location to its new location at Lansdowne Park was undertaken by CDS Building Movers, a Stittsville firm. Indeed, CDS Building Movers received a plaque from the International Association of Structural Movers in recognition of the accomplishment. It was the biggest building move ever in Canada and was the biggest move in

Got Events?

North America in 2012. The move consisted of the preparation, lifting, relocation and lowering of the then-98 year old structure from its former location to its new location, placing it on a new foundation. The project was led by CDS Building Movers owners John Sweetnam and Mario Lapalme, by project manager Barb Pierce and by site supervisor Guy Sergerie. The project resulted in many accolades for professionalism, innovation, safety and delivery of a major project ahead of time and under budget. Initial discussions about the project started in 2009 when John Sweetnam received a call about the possible relocation of the Horticulture Building as part of the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park by the city of Ottawa in conjunction with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Mr. Sweetnam was asked about the feasibility of relocating the building. So he called Jerry Matyiko of Expert House Movers in Maryland for advice. Mr. Matyiko and another expert Larry Cline both studied the situation and confirmed that the building could be moved. With Barb Pierce on board as project manager, Mr. Sweetnam and Ms. Pierce put together a proposal for the engineering and planning portion of the project. This involved lots of phone calls, video conferences and emails with experts in the building move industry. In May, 2012, CDS Building Movers was awarded a contract by the city of Ottawa to manage and undertake the relocation of the Horticulture Building. The schedule for moving the building was challenged right off the bat as the project began two months late as a sub-contractor had to remove asbestos, mould and other contaminants from the building. In addition, surrounding soil was contaminated and it had to be removed before the building relocation work could begin. Another challenge was the fragility of the building. The mortar was weak and crumbling and the terra cotta inside the building was fragile. Many of the building’s heritage windows were removed and all of the window openings were then infilled with cement blocks to make the structure more stable. CDS Building Movers lease much of the large lifting equipment needed for this project from Jerry and Gabriel Matyiko of Expert House Movers of Maryland. They leased CDS Building Movers 49 dollies (eight tires with each dolly), 48 jacks, a 60 jack unified system, two pumps and lots of hoses. Seventeen of the dollies had hydraulic drive motors for moving the building. Indeed, the project involved the installation of about three miles of houses to run the equipment. The building was lifted from its foundation in only one and a half days thanks to the use of the 60 jack unit from

Expert House Movers. Four hundred and eighty tons of lifting steel had been inserted under the building as well as used to create a reinforcing shell against the walls inside the building. The building was then located on the dollies and was ready to roll to its new location, a process which took place on two separate days. The advantage of using a hydraulic connected dollie system was that each dolly had exactly the same pressure. This meant that the building could be moved without any cracking. This was accomplished thanks to the assistance of numerous heavy equipment operators methodically

pulling steel plates from behind the building and placing them in front of the dolly wheels along the ten dolly lines that the building was moving along. The building was lowered onto its new foundation on Nov. 26 and Nov. 27, 2012. John Sweetnam of CDS Building Movers said that this project showed the value of planning extensively. Other factors that make such a move possible are getting good experienced advice, having an experienced crew well trained in safety and having a good project manager who works well with the on-site project managers.

Bryan Snider delivers song after song John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The songs just kept coming at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. Singer/guitarist Bryan Snider performed one song after another, with no commentary in between for many. Indeed, Bryan rattled off 18 songs in the first 60 minutes of his performance. And what songs! He not only sang “More Than A Man, “ the title track from his new CD which he recorded in Nashville itself, but also interspersed songs from the CD with its six original tunes with some well-known, familiar hits by performers such as George Jones, Bob Seger, James Taylor, the Beatles and the Monkees. There was something for everyone in this musical mix. He even brought back memories for fans of the long running (1982-1993) TV sitcom

“Cheers” by singing the show’s theme song with its famous refrain “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.” This theme song was cowritten by American singer/songwriter Gary Portoy and Judy Hart Angelo and was performed initially by Gary Portnoy himself. But Bryan Snider also produced musical memories with some of his offerings. There was “Ain’t No Sunshine,” a Bill Withers song from his 1971 album which became his breakthrough single. This song has been ranked 285th on the Rolling Stones magazine’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time – it’s that good! Brian did not leave out country music fans as he sang “Choices,” a song first recorded by Billy Yates in 1997 but which became best known when sang later by country music star George Jones. Indeed, Jones won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for this song. Brian sang “I Wanna Get Lost in Your Rock

‘n Roll,” a classic rock song that is associated with such American rock performers as singer Bob Seger, rock band Steppenwolf and the rock group The Dobbie Brothers, a band that was inducted in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004. And when singing songs associated with icons, a song made famous by American singer/songwriter James Taylor is not out of place. So you heard Bryan sing the lyrics of “Fire and Rain” – “Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain/I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end/I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend” and more. This song, “Fire and Rain,” was James Taylor’s breakthrough hit in 1970, beginning his legendary career and his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. And no performance touching on some of the modern musical greats would be complete without a Beatles song and, to a far lesser extent, The Monkees. Bryan sang “Here Comes the Sun,” the song that George Harrison wrote for the Beatles’ 1969 album Abbey Road. And he also sang “I’m A Believer” which was made famous by The Monkees and indeed, in its day, there was no song that was more popular. Composed by Neil Diamond, it was recorded by The Monkees in 1966 and rose to number one in the United States, sitting atop the charts for seven weeks. Bryan Snider, who hails initially from the

Fitzroy Harbour/Arnprior area, has just recently returned from Nashville where he recorded a CD of his own songs, backed up by musicians which he hired there. He had always wanted to go to Nashville to record and he eventually did it. These CD’s are now available for sale at the Gaia Java coffee shop. While Bryan’s deep and powerful voice filled the Gaia Java coffee shop with his musical offerings, many of the songs had a guitar flourish to them as Bryan accompanied himself on the guitar. With Ben Gatien’s artwork featuring musicians looking down on him from the wall beside the performance space, with three of them including guitar players, Brian’s guitar must have felt somewhat at home at this performance. Brian admits that he performs for the fun of it as he has a regular job as well. His website can be found at www.bryansnider.ca and his Facebook page is at facebook.com/bryansniderlive. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, July 18, the Rob Wannell Duo featuring guitar and saxophone will be performing its brand of jazz.

Ribbon cutting at new TD Place at Lansdowne Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - With golden scissors, a ribbon was cut on Wednesday, July 9 to mark not only the re-opening of the new home of the Ottawa RedBlacks professional football team, but also what officials say will be a step in the right direction for sports and entertainment in the city. “This afternoon, we cut the ribbon on a bright future at TD Place at Lansdowne,” said Roger Greenberg, chairman of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, before thousands of season-ticket holders flooded the stadium to meet RedBlacks and Ottawa Fury players and testdrive their seats. Fans, many of whom wore RedBlacks team colours during the open-house celebration, were equally excited about the new stadium and the chance to meet their favourite players during an autograph session on the state-of-the art field. “This has been a long-time coming,” said Kathy Blackwood, of Kanata. She and seven other members of her family secured season tickets last October, when they first went on sale.

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

He thanked fans from Ottawa and Gatineau for their support. “They told us with their words and their ticket purchases that they wanted Lansdowne to be more than it ever was,” said Greenberg. “They wanted TD Place at Lansdowne to be a sports and entertainment facility we could all be proud of, a venue where we’d be able to share incredible moments with family and friends.” To see the project come together over the years is remarkable, said Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who thanked the “unsung heroes” who are still working to finish construction on the complex “on time and on budget.” “Today, of course, is the first step in re-opening a part of our city that has been, for far too long, too dormant,” he said. “What to do with Lansdowne Park has been a multi-decade question that never really brought a lot of answers, but searching for perfection was the enemy (of) getting things done,” he said. Kyle King, 10, of Munster came with a football and a homemade sign to show how serious a fan he is. He is hoping to play the game him-

self in a couple of years. “He’s a big sports fanatic, so this is great,” Kyle’s father, Mark, said of the chance to cheer on a professional hometown football team. King used to come to the stadium as a kid with his father when they lived in south Ottawa near Mooney’s Bay. Together, they cheered on the Ottawa Rough Riders, and King will never forget seeing former Rough Riders quarterback Tommy Clements play in 1976. After checking out the seats during the open house where he and his son and father-in-law will be sitting, he said he is highly anticipating watching professional football players once again play in Ottawa. “I can’t wait,” the Munster resident said. “I never thought it would happen again.” His father-in-law only had praise for Canadian Football League commissioner Mark Cohon, and applauded the efforts of RedBlacks management in putting together a lineup of strong players. “They’ve got a good draft,” Sandy Baillie said. “They’re doing everything right,” King added.

OMB pre-hearing conference sees parties work on issues Continued from page 12

An appeal to the OMB was launched by the developer due to a difference of opinion on the development fees payable and because of a lack of decision by the city of Ottawa on the development proposal within prescribed timelines. The original plan as presented had called for 140 housing units, namely 59 single family homes and 81 townhome units, with one access road onto Elm Crescent. At the pre-hearing conference, a revised plan was presented calling for 148 housing units served by two road accesses, one onto Elm Crescent and one onto Porter Street. In attendance at the OMB pre-hearing conference were city of Ottawa lawyer Tim Marc and city planner Lily Xu in support of the city’s position, lawyer Ursula Melinz with a team of experts, representatives from Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited and Keldine FitzGerald, an Elm Crescent resident who sought party status on behalf of area residents. The parties involved had challenges final-

izing an issues list that would include the city and community’s concerns about insufficient information on storm water management and drainage as well as the community’s concerns regarding integration of the development with the surrounding community. City of Ottawa, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and the community review of reports submitted by the developer are available for review on both the city of Ottawa website and on the residents’ community supported website www.elmfernbank.ca. Residents are concerned that the proposed development site is within a large ponding area that provides storm water storage during major storm events. There are also concerns that due to backfilling requirements, the basements of the proposed new homes may tower above many of the backyards of the over 20 homes that currently back onto the site. One of the issues that is expected to be dealt with at the OMB hearing is the function of the wetland on the site and just where the water in this wetland will go if the site is developed.

Interest in building new library Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa Public Library board chairwoman Jan Harder already has six interested parties lined up interested in partnering to build a new central library. She wouldn’t say whether those are landowners, developers or other businesspeople, but Harder said the interest was immediate after she asked the library board to support looking at the option of finding a private partner to build a new Main library branch. Harder’s push came after a report from library staff recommending spending up to $70 million to renovate the Main branch at Metcalfe Street and Laurier Avenue to meet current needs and fix up the ailing structure. It’s money the library

doesn’t have. That figure was also a non-starter for Harder, who said the city should find a way to build a new library if it’s going to spend that much money. “Clearly when I read that, that was not acceptable,� she said. The Main branch is the most used of the 33 public library locations with 16,000 weekly visitors. “It’s the nucleus of our system,� Harder said. “This is our opportunity ... This is a big deal.� As library staff gets to work preparing a report with options for public-private partnerships, speculation has begun on where a new library could be located. The report won’t be done in 2015, but Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi has already made the case to relocate the Main branch to the Bayview

Yards – a city-owned property that is under redevelopment as an “innovation centre.� Another major site the city owns in the core is Arts Court near the ByWard Market, but Harder said “the ship has sailed� on potentially including a library in the complex, which is planned for redevelopment as an expanded arts centre and learning space for the University of Ottawa. But there are other possible locations, Harder said, especially if the city looks outside the boundaries set during the last round of seeking a new public library, which stopped at Bronson Avenue, Highway 417 and the canal. The focus will be on areas that are served by transit, Harder said, whether it’s light rail or buses. “If you think about transit and where the city owns property, (and) what does that look like, obviously

there are opportunities out there,� Harder said. Harder said other options need to be kept on the table, including renovating the existing branch or allowing the company that leases the tower above the Main library site to buy the air rights from the city sooner than its contract stipulates. “The status quo has to be on the table,� Harder said. “We can’t continue to throw good money after bad. “I want to see what’s out there. I want to see what’s going to be the best deal financially that we can afford.� Either way, the central library needs to get back on the list of top city council priorities – something Harder said she’ll aim to do for the next term if she is re-elected in October.

Landfill rezoning Special to the News

News - City of Ottawa council at its meeting on Wednesday, July 9 approved a rezoning that will allow for the proposed new landfill at Waste Management’s Carp Road site. This followed approval to the rezoning that was given by city council’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee at its meeting on Thursday, July 3. This is one more step in Waste Management’s move to open the new landfill at the site. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment has already approved an environmental assessment for the new landfill. Waste Management is also moving forward on obtaining an Environmental Compliance Approval from the province for the new landfill. There is still a site plan process required for the proposal, with the city of Ottawa as the approving authority. There is also a community host agreement that needs to be reached between Waste Management and surrounding communities, working through the city. The Coalition of Citizen Groups opposed to this new landfill at Waste Management’s Carp Road site was opposed to the rezoning for this proposed new 6.5 million cub meter landfill. The Coalition argued that that the groundwater mitigation plan presented is less protective than what was approved in the environmental assessment and that Waste Management has not yet completed all of the conditions related to the environmental assessment approval.

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

A new era in Ottawa’s entertainment legaacy is unfolding. The revitalized stadium at Lansdowne, nnow known as TD Place, re-opens Friday JJuly 18 when CFL Football returns with the Ottawa REDBLACKS hosting the Toronto O Argonauts. A The event kicks off a year of new beginnnings at Lansdowne, starting with the staddium. TD Place is a year-round entertainment venue, hosting large outdoor concerts and performances in the stadium, and mediumsized shows and events in the arena. With a colourful history dating back to the 19th century, TD Place at Lansdowne has witnessed CFL and Grey Cup drama, FIFA Women’s World Cup games, FIFA U-20 World Cup games, as well as notable performances by the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Supertramp and the Tragically Hip. The stadium at TD Place has been transformed into a 24,000-seat venue, highlighted by a striking and innovative new south stand veil made of Alaskan yellow cedar, a completely refurbished north stand, all-new playing surface and high tech scoreboards with in-stadium signage and services. The CFL Ottawa REDBLACKS and NASL Ottawa Fury FC will both play their inaugural 2014 seasons at the stadium at TD Place. The grounds surrounding TD Place stadium and arena have taken on a new life as an 18-acre urban park.

DAVID JOHNSTON

TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park dential. Since the beginning the redevelopment of Lansdowne has been in keeping with its historic role as a gathering place for the community while modernizing its facilities and uses for today’s residents. A key goal of the Lansdowne Partnership Plan is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) CertiďŹ cation. This is a voluntary, consensus-based standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings, assessed over six categories covering sustainability, water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation. A critical element of certiďŹ cation is accessibility. From the start, the Lansdowne construction and design team followed the principles of Universal Design to provide the highest level of accessibility possible and creating areas and spaces that can be used by everyone, including those with and without disabilities. One example is that there are few changes in grade levels. Having sidewalks and roadways at the same level makes it easier for everyone to move around. It also

makes it safer to cross streets for people with walkers, wheelchairs and scooters. The sidewalks and roads at the site have bumps and grit in certain areas to let people with disabilities know that they are approaching another roadway or sidewalk. All benches, water fountains, and other structures have been placed away from each other to allow plenty of room for people to pass by. Taxis and Para Transpo are able to drop people off close to the stadium and seating at the site has been designed to allow for everyone to sit together with plenty of space. Accessible washrooms have also been added to the football stadium.

ing Championships, and performances by leading acts from around the world. It has been transformed with all-new premium seating, state-of-the-art scoreboard and digital signage. The Ontario Hockey League’s Ottawa 67’s return home to TD Place in September. The plan to revitalize Lansdowne started in 2009, in a series of initiatives approved by Ottawa Council. Council voted to proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne June 28, 2010 through a partnership of the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Lansdowne includes the refurbished stadium and former Civic Centre, a large urban park as well as a mixed-use area featuring 360,000 square feet of retail shops and services, ofďŹ ces and residences. The retail is slated to open in the fall and the residences should be ready for occupancy in spring 2015. In creating the Lansdowne project, the City of Ottawa established principals that included pursuing a higher standard of design and sustainability for new elements in the redevelopment. The ďŹ nal design, landscape and architectural plans were reviewed by a panel of experts and City representatives to ensure integration of all areas of the site Workers spread some of the more than 100,000 cubic metres of cement that retail, park, public space, stadium and resihas been poured across the site to build the infrastructure of Lansdowne.

Leave the car bike or walk the paths of Lansdowne

Building Lansdowne Dedicated team creates the new Lansdowne David Johnston

Ottawa Councillor David Chernushenko lead a cycling rally July 6 from the Glebe Community Centre to promote the opening of Lansdowne as a destination for Ottawa cyclists, both for major events and for everyday use. DAVID JOHNSTON

Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly. Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never been easier and a new series of pathways make navigating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansdowne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot. Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lansdowne and will take you to the various buildings, outdoor event spaces and parkland. Bike racks are conveniently located throughout Lansdowne with enough onsite parking for more than 600 bicycles. The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces. Pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all share the roadway. Pedestrians will always have the right of way, followed by cyclists. Car access will be limited. These wide pathways make it easier for everyone to move around freely and experience Lansdowne. The site is fully accessible for people with disabilities. Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway extension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horticulture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events. Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot. On normal days, cyclists and pedestrians can move freely through the site on paths together. When the site is busy, cyclists should dismount and walk their bikes for everyone’s safety.

The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa. Long and harsh, the icy chill bit deep into 5,300 workers on site to create the new Lansdowne. But that didn’t stop construction. Crews remained hard at work on the stadium, underground parking garage and urban park to keep on schedule for the re-opening of the redeveloped 80-acre site. Innovative construction techniques such as ground-heating machines and insulating tarps were used to advance work through frigid winter months. “I can’t say it went without problems, but the project team is so dedicated that we are able to overcome every obstacle. That’s what gets you through the dark days,” said Maro Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne. On site working out of a trailer since the fall of 2012, Manconi has watched the new Lansdowne emerge. From the drama of moving the landmark Horticulture Building from its original location 150 metres to the east, to coordinating the pouring of infrastructure concrete from an onsite mixing plant, the project has moved forward at a steady pace. There are over 50 contractors currently involved in the construction at Lansdowne. Some of these include: Pomerleau Inc. - General Contractor and Overall Site Management; MHPM - Project Managers for OSEG; D&G Landscaping - Urban Park contractor; Minto Residential and Commercial - for the Office Tower; Trinity - Overall Retail Development; Doran; Laurin and Massicotte. “We have a motivated team, and that’s keeps this project going.” Moving an historic structure is no easy feat. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of the building. By the time it was ready to move, the building weighed 1,700 tonnes, including the 480 tonnes of steel beams installed inside for strength and support. It was raised 90 cm with hydraulic jacks onto 48 dollies – each carrying more than 32 tonnes.

City of Ottawa Project Manager Marco Manconi surveys progress on the 18-acre urban park adjacent to the new TD Place stadium and arena. The move took about a week as workers stopped it every five to 10 feet to recalibrate the wheels and ensure that the Horticulture Building arrived precisely at its new home. The building’s heritage designation was removed to allow for the move, but it will be redesignated. “The new location ensures the Horticulture Building will not be overshadowed by taller new commercial buildings on the site. Instead, it will be an architectural anchor for the new urban park, standing in a prominent position near the Rideau Canal. It will reclaim its role as a community gathering place, much as it was when it opened 100 years ago.” The Aberdeen Pavilion, among Ottawa’s most recognizable buildings, is Canada’s last large-scale exhibition building surviving from the 19th century. “The Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building now create a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.” Though Lansdowne is geared toward pedestrian traffic, there is an underground parking garage with about 1,300 parking spaces over approximately 11 acres, stretching from Queen Elizabeth Drive to Bank Street. There are two main vehicle entrances and exits to the garage – one from Queen Elizabeth Drive and a second off of Bank Street, near the stadium. Parking will service the retail component of Lansdowne as well as providing restricted on-site event parking. An entrance for residents only will

be located along Holmwood Ave. Native heritage is also built into Lansdowne and Aberdeen Square. The interlocking stone that stretches across the square has been patterned to resemble Algonquin basketry and food vessels. This interpretive element is inspired by the care and respect paid to food by Algonquins and is set within the heart of the Ottawa Farmer’s Market. The Teaching Circle, south of the rink at the east edge of the property, is another location for visitors to connect with Algonquin culture. Lansdowne’s history is rich with examples of teaching and exhibition and the Teaching Circle will allow for interaction between the Park’s history and that of the Algonquins. Seven Trees of Significance surround the Teaching Circle. Identified by botanical markers and highlighted by interpretive panels, identifying and describing their significance to Algonquin culture, the seven trees are: Eastern White Cedar, Paper Birch, Trembling Aspen, Sugar Maple, Basswood, White Spruce, and Tamarack. The Civic Demonstration Gardens, to be planted in spring 2015, will feature an ethno-botanical garden to feature plant species significant to the Algonquins of Ontario that are of ceremonial, medicinal or practical use. All of these features are intended to not only beautify the square, but also to help educate visitors about Algonquin history, culture and art.

Workers rolled out the first piece of turf at centre field of TD Place Stadium.

Building Lansdowne Horticulture Building regains former glory Transport Demand Management As Lansdowne welcomes visitors this summer, the Horticulture Building will be in the middle of a major restoration. By the end of the year, it will retake its rightful place as a prominent community space. Work is underway to restore this landmark and to make it an architectural anchor for Lansdowne. It will retake its role as a place for community to gather, through farmers’ markets, festivals, sports and other cultural events. The Horticulture Building was built in 1914 to the designs of Francis C. Sullivan and Allan Keefer. Its place in Canadian architectural history is important given that Sullivan was the only Canadian student of Frank Lloyd Wright. He brought Wright’s Prairie Style to Canada in this building’s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands. The building has undergone considerable change – a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling – but it has remained a public

space. Many Ottawa residents have fond memories of the building as a central site for curling and other public events. While it received heritage designation in 1989, the building was neglected over the past 20 years. It had been reduced to a storage facility, deteriorating to the point that the public was no longer permitted inside. The heritage designation was briey rescinded between 1991 and 1994 to allow for the removal of the workshop, which was not part of the original design. As part of the Lansdowne redevelopment, the landmark Horticulture Building was moved from its original location 150 metres to the east. Together with the Aberdeen Pavilion, the building now creates a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of this historically signiďŹ cant building but in November 2012 the move was successfully completed.

One of Ottawa’s historic treasures, The Aberdeen Pavilion, is the last large-scale exhibition building in Canada surviving from the 19th century. When it opened its doors in 1898 at the dawn of the 20th century, its large, column-free interior made it the ideal space to house the Central Canada Exhibition and to promote advancements in agriculture and livestock. Named for staunch agricultural supporter Governor General, the Earl of Aberdeen, it was so associated with agriculture that it became known as the Cattle Castle almost immediately. It became a showcase for Canada’s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturers’ Building. It was also one of Ottawa’s earliest community skating rinks and the site of the Ottawa Silver Seven 1904 Stanley Cup victory. During the Boer War and both World Wars, it was a staging ground for troops prior to deployment overseas. By the time it received Ontario heritage designation in 1982 and as a National Historic Site in Canada in 1983, it had fallen into disuse. In 1992, Ottawa undertook a major refurbishment, restoring the Aberdeen Pavilion to its original splendour, with funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario. Successfully combining the practical with the fanciful, the refurbished building now captures the holiday atmosphere of a 19th-century fair. It remains a visual centrepiece for the redeveloped Lansdowne and an important link to Ottawa’s past.

The Aberdeen Pavillion stills stands out as an Ottawa landmark in the newly re-designed Lansdowne. With its impressive sweeping roof, dome, corner towers and classical details, the building – designed by Ottawa architect Moses C. Edey – is a centrepiece at Lansdowne. The century old building will serve a wide variety of community uses. DAVID JOHNSTON

There is a long a colourful history rooting Lansdowne in the agricultural community. The Ottawa Valley Farm Show got its start when the newly formed Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association sponsored its ďŹ rst seed fair at Renfrew Collegiate in 1927. Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec’s rural communities, the seed fair’s success soon outgrew smaller venues. In 1959, the show

AGRICULTURE

Aberdeen Pavillion a century-old landmark in Ottawa

moved to Lansdowne Park and for the ďŹ rst time, Ontario’s longest-running agricultural trade show had a permanent location. With more space at the Lansdowne Park location, large farm equipment manufacturers soon saw the opportunity to set up displays of new farm machinery. This became a major attraction for visitors to the show in conjunction with the OVSGA. The show expanded to six exhibit areas including the entire Civic Centre oor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion – widely known as the Cattle Castle.

The Ottawa Valley Farm Show remained at Lansdowne Park until 2011 when it relocated to the Ernst & Young Centre in the south end of the city due to the redevelopment of Lansdowne. The OVFS remains a spring tradition for the agricultural and rural communities. With over 300 exhibitors, the show includes displays by livestock breed associations, 4-H exhibits, arts and crafts, farm toys and books, tools, equipment, and the fundraising Pedigreed Seed Sale for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Building Lansdowne Lansdowne stands proud of its war support record Lansdowne Park has been a gathering place for well over 100 years but three times in the last century it served as a gathering place for troops going to Canada’s foreign military missions. The opening of the Aberdeen Pavilion for the 10th Annual Central Canada Exhibition of 1898 showcased the development of this unique site into a signiďŹ cant national and international venue and set the stage for a gathering of military forces. From 1899 to 1901 Lansdowne was used as a staging site for troops of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse. Soldiers were encamped on the site before shipping out to what is today South Africa to join the British Army against the Dutch South Africans, known as Boers.

With the outbreak of the Boer War in October 1899, the government of Canada responded by recruiting, equipping and transporting two contingents of volunteers to serve with the British forces in South Africa. Over the next three years, more than 7,000 Canadians, including 12 women nurses, served overseas. The war is a key event in the military history of Canada the ďŹ rst time that Canada dispatched troops to an overseas war and it started at the exhibition grounds at Lansdowne. Only 15 years later, at midnight on August 4, 1914, Britain was at war and that meant Canada was at war. Prime Minister Robert Borden offered Canadian assistance to Great Britain and called for a supreme national effort. With an outpouring of patriotic support, Canada mobilized quickly. Less than two weeks later on August 23, 1914, the new Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the ďŹ rst time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the ďŹ rst Canadian infantry unit to head overseas and arrived in France on December 21, 1914. Following the declaration of war, about 3,000 applicants were recruited and by August 19 a full complement of 1,098 had been selected. Captain Andrew Hamilton Gault, A An drew dr ew H amilton Ga ault, a prominent Montreal

businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds with a contribution of $100,000, (equivalent to more than $2 million in 2014), making the PPCLI the last privately raised regiment in Canada. Military connections to Lansdowne were wellestablished by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to ďŹ ght overseas. It became home to The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and the 4th Hussars of Canada, who later became the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards). When Canada declared war on September 10, 1939, The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada had already begun to mobilize and was at full strength of 807 within one week. The 1st Battalion embarked for overseas on December 16, 1940 and arrived in the UK on Christmas Eve. The 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards deployed in 1941. Both regiments served in multiple campaigns during the war. The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa continued as a regiment following the WWII. With their long history of service in the capital, they were granted the Freedom of the City on May 24, 1969. This is the highest honour conferred by a city council upon a military unit.

Building Lansdowne

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

CITY OF OTTAWA

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

Football legacy

TD Place at Lansdowne is ready to kick off a new era of football in the Capital. The Ottawa RedBlacks are the newest addition to the Canadian Football League. Though the team has a new name, it still maintains the traditional colours that link it to a long and rich history. The Ottawa Football Club came into existence in 1876 and alternated between the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Unions. After being suspended for rough play in 1897, the Ottawa Football Club reorganized itself into the Ottawa Rough Riders, and adopted the red and black colours of the Canadian Regiment in the Spanish-American War. In 1909, the Rough Riders moved their games from Metropolitan Grounds to Lansdowne, where the team called home until it folded in 1996. However, when the team won its first Grey Cup in 1925 and its second in 1926, they were known as the Ottawa Senators. The team had changed their name the previous year after amalgamating with St. Brigid’s, which played in the city league. In 1927, the team reverted back to the Ottawa Rough Riders. Lansdowne would continue to be their home over the years, with such hall-of-famers as Tony Golab, Russ Jackson, Tony Gabriel, Tom Clements and Coach Frank Clair. They would win seven more Grey Cups, in 1940, 1951, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1976. Football made a brief return from 2002 to 2005 with the Ottawa Renegades. And now it’s back at Lansdowne where the spirit has always remained.

Lansdowne saw hockey’s Stanley Cup hoisted for Ottawa Over its long history, the Stanley Cup has been hoisted in many iconic buildings the Montreal Forum, the Olympiad in Detroit, the Boston Garden – and the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne. In 1904 the Ottawa Hockey Club, later the Senators and also known as the Silver Seven, were the defending Stanley Cup champions and considered the premier hockey team in Canada. Ottawa had a reputation as a rough team and featured such stars as the Gilmour brothers, Bouse Hutton, and Frank McGee. Three teams challenged Ottawa that year for hockey’s Holy

Grail – the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboroughs, and the Brandon Wheat Kings. Ottawa defeated the Winnipeg in the first series, two games to one. Game Three ranked as the bloodiest Stanley Cup game at that time. The Ottawa team won the Stanley Cup on home ice at the Aberdeen Pavilion that year and again in 1905. Each player received a pocket watch to commemorate their victory. One of the watches is held at the City of Ottawa Archives. Many old arenas, like the Boston Garden and Detroit Olympiad, no longer stand. But like the pocket watch, the Aberdeen Pavilion still captures the glory of hockey’s early years. R0012799688-0717

Cancer fighting heroes aren’t built overnight. Bit by bit, he built up his strength, one kilometre at a time. Tom signed for the 50 km ride in the 2013 edition of Ride the Rideau as a recovery goal “as well as small payback for the great care and treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital,” he said. Ride the Rideau is The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past

four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6. This year, Tom bought a bike with a few more gears and has signed up for the 100 km ride. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau. ca.

Sani-Sol Pool & Spa helps out ers across Canada who are helping make wishes come true for children like Avery as part of a sponsorship created by Marquis to beneďŹ t Make-A-Wish chapters throughout Canada and the United States. Marquis, through this sponsorship, is the preferred provider for Make-A-Wish hot tub wishes. Indeed, since the year 2000, Marquis has helped grant more than 550 wishes in cooperation with Make-A-Wish. “Marquis and Sani-Sol have made a lasting, positive impact on Avery and her family,â€? said Annie-France Stiles, coordinator of wishes for Make-AWish Eastern Ontario. “Avery’s hot tub will provide fun, joyous moments for the whole family during an otherwise incredibly difďŹ cult time,â€? she added. The involvement of Marquis hot tubs with Make-A-Wish goes back to the year 2000 when 17 year old Andrea’s wish was to have a hot tub in her backyard. The hot tub eased the physical distress from the chemotherapy and radiation treatments which she was undergoing at the time. Marquis provided the hot tub and now, 14 years later, a cancer-free Andrea is still enjoying her Marquis hot tub. Being involved with this wish by Andrea inspired Marquis to help with similar wishes and the resulting spon-

Special to the News

News - Six year old Avery of Perth had her wish to be able to enjoy a hot tub of her very own was realized thanks to Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million� and Sani-Sol Pool & Spa of Stittsville. Avery enjoys the bubbly warm water of a hot tub and, in addition, the soothing jets and relaxing steam are therapeutic for her. That’s why Avery’s wish centred on having such a hot tub. Avery’s wish turned out to be the second wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario through funding provided by the “Mission To A Million� campaign of Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville who began the campaign after his own wish was granted and he wanted to give back. The campaign’s goal is to raise one million dollars for MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario so that 100 wishes can be granted to children with life-threatening medical conditions. But another key to the granting of Avery’s wish was the involvement of Sani-Sol Pool & Spa of Stittsville. Sani-Sol, located on Iber Road in Stittsville, is an authorized dealer for Marquis hot tubs and it is through this connection that Sani-Sol became involved in the granting of this wish for Avery. Sani-Sol is one of the Marquis deal-

sorship with Make-A-Wish has resulted in more than three million dollars in spa donations and discounts for Make-AWish over the years. Sani-Sol, as an authorized dealer for Marquis hot tubs in this area, happily donated time and some products in the delivery and installation of the hot tub at Avery’s home in Perth on Wednesday, July 2. Sani-Sol has been serving Stittsville and west Ottawa area residents with their hot tub, pool and spa needs since the year 2000. It also offers free water testing using the latest technology to ensure that a pool and/or hot tub is offering the best of aquatic environments. Sani-Sol’s showroom is located at 149 Iber Road in Stittsville. Marquis is an employee-owned company based in Independence, Oregon that has been manufacturing spas since 1980. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, thereby adding hope and joy to their lives. Make-AWish Eastern Ontario is one chapter of the largest wish-granting organization in the world, with chapters in over 36 countries on ďŹ ve continents. Donations and the efforts of over 30,000 volunteers allow Make-A-Wish to grant the wishes of children around the world.

56ers in Carp tournament Jeff Maguire Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville 56ers of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will be one of ten teams playing in the upcoming Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp. This tournament will be staged in Carp from Friday, July 25 to Sunday, July 27. One team in this year’s tournament is last year’s runners-up, the Elkland Thunderbellys from Pennsylvania. They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in the 2013 tournament championship game. Although Sharon Lightning is unavailable this time Thunderbellys, from the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania, will be competing for a third straight year. Most of the teams and players involved this year are from either the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) or other men’s leagues in the district. Leading the Eastern Ontario entries will be Micksburg Twins, from the Pembroke area, the defending GOFL champions. This season Twins are in the middle of the pack in the seven-team loop, but the standings are very close at present. The other GOFL teams who have signed on for the competition include Stittsville 56ers, Kanata Pirates and Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric. Stittsville and Kanata are currently battling for first place in the league. Also penciled in are a local tournament team, the Ottawa Valley A’s, comprised of players from West Carleton. They will be joined by Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League along with an all-star entry from the Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League in Ottawa. Returning to the Carp showdown is another perennial competitor, the Napanee (Shoeless Joe’s) Junior Express. Napanee made it to the playoff round last year before losing to eventual tournament champion Sharon Lightning in the quarter finals. The 10th and final team to join the cast is Domville Aces, a tournament team from the Prescott-Brockville area.

Again this year all games will be played on the two diamonds at the Carp Fairgrounds. All proceeds from the tournament will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. The 2013 venture raised the most money yet for this worthwhile cause! The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. The following year the first competition was held at Carlington Park in Ottawa. In 2010 the venture moved to Carp and this will mark the fifth straight year the tournament will be staged at the Carp fairgrounds. The teams have been matched in two, fiveteam divisions. The event opens with four games Friday night (July 25), two at 7 p.m. and two more at 9 o’clock. Action resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday and continues all day. Sunday afternoon’s championship final is scheduled for 3 p.m. The tournament winner will pocket $1,800 while the runner-up takes home $700. The third and fourth place entries will each receive $250. Those who attend the tournament will find a large refreshment tent on site and food (hot dogs and hamburgers) will be available all weekend. There will be a loonie ball toss held again this year and there is a splash pad available for youngsters. A day pass for the tournament is $5 per person while a weekend pass is $10. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free and there will be lots of activities on site for children. The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games.

Win, loss for Stittsville 56ers Special to the News

Sports - It was a close one but the Stittsville 56ers emerged as victors in a Greater Ottawa Fastball League game against the visiting Kars Aces at Alexander Grove in Stittsville on Wednesday, July 9. The 56ers were behind 3-2 going into the home half of the fourth inning where the 56ers pushed across a run to tie the score 3-3. But it came down to the seventh inning with the 56ers squeezing out a 5-4 victory over the Aces. The 56ers travelled to Carp on Thursday, July 10 for a game against the Kanata Pi-

rates but this one did not turn out well for the Stittsville squad. The 56ers lost 13-1 to the Pirates, with the game halted after five innings. After a scoreless first inning, the Pirates scored five runs in the bottom of the second inning and added another three runs in the bottom of the third inning to take an 8-0 lead. In the fourth inning, the 56ers scored what turned out to be their only run of the game when Dan Bradley crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Trevor Scott. The Pirates responded with five more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning,

making the score 13-1. This was how the game ended. The 56ers managed only four hits off Pirates pitcher Jason Smith in the game. The Stittsville 56ers will host the Quyon Flyers in a Greater Ottawa Fastball League game on Wednesday, July 30 at 8:30 p.m. at Alexander Grove in Stittsville. On the past weekend, the 56ers travelled to Au Sable Forks in New York State for the annual men’s fast pitch ball tournament there. Au Sable Forks is located in the Adirondack Mountains area of New York State.

Justin Phillips now in Warriors Hall of Fame Special to the News

Sports - Justin Phillips of the Ottawa RedBlacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL) is now in the Bell Warriors Football Club’s Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame at a special ceremony which was held at the Bell arena in Bells Corners last Sunday. He is only the second inductee into the Hall of Fame, with longtime Warriors coach and executive Jim Wagdin being the inaugural inductee. Indeed, it was Mr. Wagdin who was called upon to announce Justin’s induction into the Warriors Hall of Fame and to present him with a plaque. This happened as part of a ceremony, hosted by city of Ottawa councillors Rick Chiarelli and Shad Qadri, which was held to recognize and honour the Bell Warriors Football Club for offering minor football programs for youth in the Goulbourn/Bells Corners/ Britannia area for more than 50 years. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson was on hand to present Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart with a plaque honouring the Club for its years of providing football programming for youth. Justin Phillips, who attended Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, played for the Bell Warriors for six years before going on to play university football and then going on to a career in the CFL, first with the Calgary Stampeders with whom he won a Grey Cup and now with the new Ottawa RedBlacks.

He won the Vanier Cup, emblematic of Canadian university football supremacy, when he was at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University. Justin, who wore his Bell Warriors jersey number 22 at the event, played for the Warriors from 1996 to 2001. During these years, he won a number of Warriors awards such as Defensive Player of the Year in mosquito in 1997, Most Valuable Player in peewee in 1999, Rookie of the Year in bantam in 2000 and Most Valuable Player in bantam in 2001.

With the Warriors, he always played defense, either as a linebacker or as a defensive end. “He was a hellva ball player,” Mr. Wagdin says about Justin in his Warriors years, adding that Justin personifies all of the characteristics that the Bell Warriors like to see in its players. Mr. Wagdin coached Justin at the bantam level. Justin’s younger and older brothers also played for the Warriors as Mr. Wagdin calls the Phillips family “a Warriors family.”

A number of Justin’s teammates from his years with the Warriors were on hand for his induction last Sunday into the Warriors Hall of Fame. Another special award which was presented at this ceremony was the presentation of the 2013 National Capital Amateur Football Association Volunteer of the Year Award (President’s Award) to Bell Warriors volunteer Karin Statham. She has been a tireless volunteer for the Bell Warriors, serving as Director of Canteens.

In the past two years, the canteen has brought in over $10,000 in profit to support the Bell Warriors and its players. In his remarks at the ceremony, Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart remarked that it is been amazing what the organization has accomplished over the past 50-plus years. He pointed out that the Bell Warriors army of volunteers commits over 5,000 hours of time a year to ensure that the Bell Warrior football programs are offered to youth in the

Richmond/Stittsville/Goulbourn/Bells Corners/Britannia area of the city of Ottawa. President Stewart said that the volunteers and coaches give so much of their time and effort because “it’s for the kids and, more importantly, it’s because of the kids.” In any one season, a team will have over 60 practices, an indication of the level of commitment provided by the coaches and volunteers. “It is immensely rewarding to see a child learn the recipe for their success and swell with pride when they acknowledge that they can achieve things they couldn’t imagine doing before,” President Stewart said. He said that all of this is done because the families and volunteers involved with Warriors football simply love football. “It is the ultimate team sport,” he said, adding that players learn to commit toe ach other selflessly, become open to take risks and face challenges, work hard to achieve goals and learn to have a passion for life. He said that these values learned in Warriors football serve the players well long after their playing days with the Warriors are over. The Bell Warriors Football Club has been offering tackle football programs for youth since 1955.

Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Classic Special to the News

Congratulations to the children (and their families) who participated in the 2nd annual Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium presented by Palladium Insurance.

Sports – A team of golfers representing the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation will be playing in this year’s fourth annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Classic. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is now fundraising to build a new treatment facility on a site near Carp. And it is a cause close to the hearts of the Bilodeau family of Richmond. Indeed, this tournament is held in memory of Jay Bilodeau, son of Janet and Rheal Bilodeau. Jay was just 22 years old when he died in March 2011 as a result of drug addiction. So this tournament is held in memory of Jay but also to help the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre realize its goal of having a local treatment centre to which a family with a youth in trouble with addiction can turn to receive assistance and hopefully get things back on track. “Bringing Hope Home” is the slogan that the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre uses. The Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Classic tournament will be held again this year at the Manderley on the Green golf course on Prince of Wales Drive near North Gower this coming Saturday, July 19. The golf gets underway at noon and is followed by a prime rib dinner. The $100 per golfer registration fee includes 18 holes of golf plus a golf cart, the dinner, great prizes and gifts. Those who wish to attend

only the dinner can do so for $40 per person. All of the proceeds again this year are going to the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation. For more information about the tournament or to register to play or to attend the dinner, please contact Ken at 613-818-8964 or email jaybclassic@gmail.com. Last year sunny weather prevailed for the tournament with about 110 golfers participating. Jay Bilodeau’s death in 2011 brought about the formation of an organizing committee which includes Jay’s younger sister Renee which has organized this memorial tournament each year since Jay passed away. The tournament is held near the second week of July since this is close to Jay’s birthday which was July 14. Funds raised by the tournament go to the Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre which works to help youth aged 13 to 21 to overcome substance abuse and related challenges. The hope is that the funds raised will help the Dave Smith Centre help other youth and their families who are facing challenges like those that Jay faced. Increasing public awareness of youth mental health and drug abuse are positive steps that need to happen in today’s society to improve and increase the help and resources available to those in need in such circumstances.

$25,000 for Richmond from Kraft Hockeyville 2014 Special to the News

News - Richmond has received the $25,000 which it earned for being one of the top 16 communities in Canada in Kraft Hockeyville 2014. The money was presented in a brief ceremony at King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond on Wednesday, July 9, with Kraft Foods area sales representation Peter Brady handing over the cheque. Richmond made it to the top 16 communities in Canada in the Kraft Hockeyville 2014 competition thanks to a widespread community effort displaying the community’s passion for hockey. Each of the top 16 communities such as Richmond had two days of open unlimited online voting (Sunday and Monday, March 9 and 10), with the results determining the communities which moved on to the final four in the competition. Richmond did not make to the top four communities (two in the east and two in the west) as announced on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. A total of five and a half million votes were cast during this voting period, with the two winning communities in the east being Kingston, Nova Scotia, and Central Bedeque in Prince Edward Island. The two communities in the west which have moved on in the competition are Salmon Arm, B.C. and Sylvan Lake, Alta. But not only did Richmond’s quest to be Kraft Hockevyille 2014 result in lots of community spirit and fun events but by being one of the top 16 communities in Canada, Richmond qualified for $25,000 from Kraft for renovations to the dressing rooms at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre in Richmond. Had Richmond moved on to the top four, the community would have been guaranteed

On hand for the presentation are, front row, from left, Sierra Shouldice, Dilon Shouldice, Connor Cummings, Dalton Shouldice and Simon St. Jean; second row, from left, Joey Milroy and Kate Milroy; and, back row, from left, Bob Easy, Tim Johnson, Kala Johnson, Chris King, Brian Bicknell, Daniel Faubert, Stephanie Kelly, Joe Milroy, Scott Cummings, Lisa Shouldice, Julie St. Jean and Ben St. Jean. $50,000 for arena upgrades. Going on from there to be the “east finalist” would have meant $100,000 in arena upgrades and an opportunity to compete with the “west finalist” for the grand prizes in the competition – the opportunity to host a 2014-2015 National Hockey league pre-season game and to experience a visit from the CBC. These top 16 communities, eight in the “east” and eight in the “west,” had been chosen by a panel of impartial individuals selected by the competition sponsors. The panel judged each community on the originality of its entry as well as evidence of community spirit and passion for hockey.

All other judging in the competition going forward will be via voting. The Richmond community mobilized around a campaign to have Richmond named as Kraft Hockeyville 2014. This resulted not only in numerous stories and submissions leading up to the community’s selection in the “top eight” in the “east” but also saw a number of special events and activities happen, all promoting Richmond as Hockeyville. There was “HockeyFest” at the Creekside Gardens outdoor rink on Saturday, Feb. 8, with the Ottawa Senators Alumni meeting the Ottawa Police squad and the Richmond juvenile team facing off against the

coaches. Then there was a pancake breakfast at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall to watch the Olympic gold medal game in men’s hockey which was shown on a hall wall. This was followed up with an impromptu parade through the village, promoting Richmond as Hockeyville, a chilling polar bear dip in the Jock River and then a spaghetti dinner at the arena hall on Saturday, March 8 when the top 16 results were announced on Hockey Night in Canada. The spaghetti dinner was visited by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson

and attracted a huge crowd. There was not only great spaghetti, thanks in part to the homemade spaghetti sauce made by the ladies of St. Paul’s United Church, but also great hoopla as the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast was shown and there was that moment just before 9 p.m. when it was confirmed that Richmond had made it through to the top 16 in Canada and the top 8 in the “east.” Other Richmond is Hockeyville initiatives saw round hay bales set up at several locations in the village, proclaiming Richmond as Hockeyville and urging support.

Kraft Hockeyville 2014 means arena upgrades These bales appeared along Perth Street just east of the arena where three bales were set up around a pickup truck with messages such as “Honk for Hockeyville,” “Richmond is Hockeyville” and a reminder of the now-past voting from March 8-10. There were also similar bales at Royals Restaurant, Tony’s Chip Wagon, at the former Dr. Fitz-Gerald home on McBean Street and at the corner of Hamilton Street and McBean Street. Besides these hay bale placements, numerous signs supporting Richmond as Hockeyville sprouted up in evidence around the community – along Huntley Road at the entrance to Richmond Lions Park, along Perth Street at the front of the Richmond Marketplace plaza (King’s Your Independent Grocer), at Bob and Lynn’s Service Centre on Perth Street, in front of the Richmond Memorial Community Centre itself, at Kinkade Konstruction on Perth Street, and at the Richmond fire hall. And these large signs are augmented by numerous smaller signs and posters all throughout the community. The top eight in the “east bracket” of this year’s Kraft Hockeyville 2014 competition included not only Richmond and the Richmond Memorial Community Centre but also the Leo Boivin Community Centre in Prescott, the Beeton Community Memorial Arena in Beeton, the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter, all of which are in Ontario, the Arena du Plateau in Chicoutimi, Quebec, the Credit Union Centre in Kingston, Nova Scotia, the Amherst Stadium in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and the Bedeque & Area Recreation Centre in Bedeque, P.E.I. The top eight in the “west bracket” of the competition were the Shaw Center in Salmon Arm, B.C., the Marrysville Arena in Marysville, B.C., the Sun Bowl Arena in Osoyoos, B.C., the Medican Multi-plex in Sylvan Lake, B.C., the Bruderheim Hockey Arena in Bruderheim, Alta., the Akinsdale & Kinex Arenas in St. Albert, Alta., the Credit Union iPlex in Swift Current, Sask., and the Arborg & District Arena in Arborg, Manitoba. Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition

developed by CBC Sports and sponsored by Kraft Foods, the National Hockey League and the NHL Players’ Association in which communities across Canada can compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of hockey. The competition was first held in 2006. The inaugural winner was Salmon River, Nova Scotia, beating out 450 other entries from across Canada. North Bay was the winner in 2007 while Roberval, Quebec was the 2008 winner. In 2009, the Kraft Hockeyville winning community was Terrace, B.C. while the winner in 2010 was Dundas, Ontario. In 2011, the winner was Conception Bay, Newfoundland while Stirling-Rawdon, Ontario was the winner in 2012. The 2013 competition was cancelled due to the NHL lockout but a pre-season exhibition game was awarded to Belleville, Ontario under the Hockeyville label. The Richmond community and surrounding area showed great support in this bid to become the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville. Although the campaign started late in the game, the nominations submitted and support shown made Richmond a winning community with $25,000 coming to spend on some upgrades to the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena). It is something that will benefit every hockey player, ringette player and figure skater using the arena. Chris King of King’s Your Independent Grocer was also a great supporter of all the Richmond Hockeyville 2014 events, helping by providing and donating the necessary supplies for the events. Chris and his wife Shawna volunteered numerous hours to this “Richmond is Hockeyville” campaign. Other groups and businesses which were supportive included Richmond District Lions Club, St. Paul’s United Church ladies for the sauce for the spaghetti supper; Richmond firefighters; Mike Harvey’s Amish Sheds; Christopher’s Meat Market; Richmond Bakery; Milano’s Pizza; Cousin Vinny’s Pizza; Creekside Septic Systems; and Rabb Construction.

‘Wide Cup Wednesdays’ at Thunderbird John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - If you want to improve your golf game, you should consider playing at the par-three golf course on Wednesdays at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on Richardson Sideroad. And if on these Wednesdays the cup looks large and inviting and you start sinking lots of putts, don’t be thinking about turning pro. Rather, take another look at the cup. Thunderbird has become the first golf course in Eastern Ontario to install eight-inch wide cups on their holes. So, every Wednesday, all nine regulation cups (four and a quarter inches wide) at Thunderbird are replaced with eight-inch wide cups. The idea behind these “Wide Cup Wednesdays� is to encourage more people to play golf and to increase the fun factor

for even seasoned golfers. And who doesn’t like sinking putts. “Our goal at Thunderbird is to make the sport of golf more fun and less intimidating,� explains Rob Knights, vice-president of operations and business development for Thunderbird Sports Management Inc., which manages the golf course at the Thunderbird Sports Centre. “By installing larger cups we feel golfers of all levels and ages will have more fun and find the game less frustrating,� he notes. Another benefit of the larger cups is that golfers do not have to remove the pin when putting as the larger hole will gobble up an incoming putt, even with the pin in. This speeds up play a little as golfers do not have to take out the pin, place it somewhere and then replace it in the hole when finished. Play is also faster because, quite simply, golfers make more putts with the wider cups

in place. Thunderbird has gone to these “Wide Cup Wednesdays� as one initiative to try to get more people playing and enjoying golf. Mr. Knights notes that golf is a difficult sport in some ways for youngsters and these wider cups makes the sport less intimidating and more accessible and fun for youth. Indeed, this also applies to anyone taking up the sport or even to longtime golfers who find that the cup seems to be getting smaller and smaller with advancing age. Thunderbird is also unique in the Ottawa area as golfers can play under the lights, meaning that they are not restricted by sunlight. The “Wide Cup Wednesdays� at Thunderbird have been happening since Wednesday, June 4. Tee times for “Wide Cup Wednesdays� can be arranged by calling Thunderbird at 613-836-2256 or by booking online at www.thunderbirdsportscentre.com .

Lennox Sterling Memorial ‘Holes for Hospice’ tournament Special to the News

Sports - Friday, Sept. 12 is the date for the fourth annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice� golf tournament this year. In the past three years, this

once again at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in rural Kanata. Registration fee for participating in the tournament is $250 per person. A $100 income tax receipt will be issued for each

Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Pa n Pa n -C n e , C n e , Qu i D

Marcel Pinon loves his local community - and wants to make it a better place. As Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital’s (CPDMH) new Board Chair, he says he is committed to ensuring the best care close to home.

As Board Chair, Marcel says he plans to continue to work with the Ministry on the hospital redevelopment plans. “It’s a very long process and we want to ensure that the community understands what is involved.�

“My family has lived in the area for 15 years and we love it. It has it all, including a great hospital,� says Marcel. “I’m happy to give back through my involvement on the Board.�

Marcel also wants to help plan a great party to celebrate the hospital’s 60 years of caring next year. “It’s a major milestone. This community built CPDMH and should be proud of its local hospital.�

Marcel has been on the Board for six years and is no stranger to health care volunteerism. In the past, he has served as Chair of the North Bay Red Cross and as a volunteer firefighter and first responder. “I seem to have always had a link to health care in some way.�

My family has lived in the area for 15 years and we love it. I’m happy to give back through my involvement on the Board.

When not volunteering, Marcel is a manager at NAV Canada. He is also completing his Masters of Business Administration. He lives in Black’s Corners with his wife Rhonda and has two daughters who have both just graduated from university.

CPDMH Applauded for ER Wait Times CPDMH was recently recognized by the Ministry of Health for its improved Emergency Department wait times. In fact, CPDMH has the most improved wait times for hospitals of its size in Ontario. CPDMH’s wait time is 1.5 hours less than the hospital group average of 4.4 hours. It’s all part of our commitment to quality, compassionate care.

This is the first season that Dylan Wright of Richmond is competing in this top Canadian pro motocross racing series, having signed his first pro contract with the MX101 Yamaha race team. And so far, with five races of the ten race series completed, Dylan has been having a good rookie season. At last weekend’s race at Gopher Dunes at Courtland, ON, Dylan placed 15th. In the third race of the series in June in Calgary, Dylan finished in the top five. But his goal DMX PHOTO remains to close the gap that exists between Dylan Wright of Richmond will be showing his racing form like this when he competes in himself and the race leaders. the 2014 Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals series at the Sand Del Lee Motocross “I want to be running with them, not trailing Park west of Richmond this coming Sunday, July 20. behind them,” he writes on the internet. “I’ve been training hard and believe I have the potential and the speed to hang with them,”

he adds. Dylan was on the road for about a month when he was competing in the first four races of the Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals series. He enjoyed being in western Canada, finding the people great and the scenery spectacular while also experiencing some tracks that were new to him. The 16 year old has been energized by his one top five finish is looking to better things as the series comes East. Heading into last weekend’s race, he was in ninth spot overall in the driver standings with his finishes of sixth, 25th, fifth and eighth.

Dylan Wright in his rookie season in racing series This will be the sixth stop in the ten race series that began at the end of May in British Columbia and after races in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan in June, has now reached Ontario. After the Sand Del Lee race, the series goes on to Quebec and New Brunswick sites before ending up at the Walton Raceway in Walton, Ontario on Sunday, Aug. 17. But this Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals race on Sunday, July 20 is not all that is happening at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park that weekend. On Saturday, July 19, a race in the 2014 Canadian Motocross Racing Corporation’s Women’s Eastern Canadian Nationals will be held at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park. This is one of three races that lead to the Eastern Canada Championship. The Women’s Nationals in motocross include both an Eastern and Western Championship, with each championship series consisting of three races. The Sand Del Lee race is one of three in the Eastern Canada Championship series. The Sand Del Lee Motocross Park is operated by Mx101 which not only hosts major race events like the upcoming Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals race but also offers a full rider education program. Sand Del Lee may be the oldest motocross track in Canada, having hosted its first motocross race back in 1970. It will mark its 45th anniversary as a track in 2015.

Dale Argue of Stittsville, who passed away in 2010, founded the Sand Del Lee track. MX101 took over operation of the track in 2001. Sand Del Lee got its name because it is a sand track, is considered to be in a dell (small valley with trees and grass) and is a lee (it is protected). The Sand Del Lee Motocross Park is located on Conley Road off Franktown Road west of Richmond. Dylan Wright has raced in the world’s largest and most prestigious amateur motocross race, Loretta Lynn’s American Amateur National Motocross Championships. He has won a Canadian championship, taking the Schoolboy class on his Yamaha YZ125 in 2012. He made history last summer at the age of 16 when he became the amateur rider with the highest finish ever in a professional motocross race by placing third in round five of the pro nationals at the Gopher Dunes motocross track. And now he has become one of the youngest dirt bike racers to ever sign a professional motocross deal in Canada. Dylan has come a long way since he first rode a dirt bike at the age of four and lined up for his first race when he was five. With the help of MX101 motocross schools at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park near Munster, he developed the skills and technique that he has required to move up through the amateur motocross racing ranks in both Canada and the United States. By competing in Loretta Lynn’s American Amateur National Motocross Championships in Tennessee both in 2009 on an 80cc bike and

four years as an instructor with the MX101 summer camps at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park, teaching camp students how to ride. He received the sponsorship support of the Yamaha company as an amateur, earning two Yamaha Factory rides in both 2012 and 2013. This consisted of the free use of a Yamaha bike of his choice for the season and a parts budget of $2,500. Dylan has now signed a three year deal with Team MX101 Yamaha, making him one of the youngest dirt bike racers to ever sign a professional motocross deal in Canada. Dylan also notes the support that he has received over the years from his parents, family and friends. His new professional status means that he will be giving up his former racing number, 539, and this year will be sporting number 34, his new national pro number. MX101 at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park has been focusing on educating and teaching dirt bike riders for the past 12 years in partnership with Yamaha Canada. The MX101 Talent Factory Education Program, with which Dylan was involved, allows youngsters to get a sound and safe start in dirt bike riding and motocross racing. As these young riders develop and understand the skills, attitude and character that are required to advance, they get a chance to be instructors with MX101, with some getting to race with the MX101 Talent Factory Race Team.

again in 2012 on a 125cc bike in the Schoolboy class, he gained a ranking among the top 40 amateur racers in North America. It was in 2012 as well that Dylan won his Canadian championship in the Schoolboy class on his Yamaha YZ125. In so doing, he earned the Total Devotion Award which is a prize given to the rider at the Canadian Motocross Racing Corporation Walton TransCan Canada Amateur Nationals showing the ability to overcome adversity while displaying total devotion to the sport of motocross both on and off the track. By 2012, Dylan had the backing of MX101 as well as sponsorship support from Yamaha Canada, FOX Canada, EKS brand goggles and Clark Mechanical. In 2013, Dylan continued his winning ways, capturing numerous intermediate championships as well as the coveted Bronze Boot which is an annual award presented to the best all round amateur rider for the week of the TransCan competition. Also last summer, Dylan became the amateur rider with the highest finish in a professional motocross race ever with his third place finish in round five of the pro nationals at the Gopher Dunes motocross track at Courtland which is near Tillsonburg in southwestern Ontario. Over the years, Dylan has developed as a motocross rider. He served as part of the MX101 Talent Factory Team, a program supported by Yamaha Motor Canada. He later served for

Arbuckle drain closer to improvements Special to the News

11602 Blackstone Summer Seminar Series – July 3, 2014 Press Release

Monarch is Canada’s oldest new home builder with a deep understanding of the complex issues that go into making the purchase of a home. To help homebuyers navigate through the process, the respected builder was pleased to host a Summer Seminar Series at their new Blackstone community in Kanata just outside of Ottawa. The idea behind the seminar was to bring together experts and buyers to offer the benefits of expert information and have the opportunity to ask questions in a casual, one-to-one setting. The seminars were held this past June and featured gardening tips along with a financial seminar. Everyone enjoyed the many simple but effective tips that can be accomplished by every gardener. Expert gardener, Suzanne Patri from White House Perennials, explained that these days with the help of experienced garden

centre staff and a wide variety of seasonal and perennial plants to choose from, you don’t need a green thumb or expensive budget to have a gorgeous garden at home. Representatives, Ian Creighton, Alex Grison and Wendy Willard, from CIBC, were also in attendance to share helpful suggestions, insights and outline the many financial products available for families looking to buy. Entitled ‘Financing Your New Home’, CIBC’s presentation was very informative and did an excellent job of explaining the many financial options and services. A wide range of topics were discussed, with great questions being posed such as “Is this a good time to buy?” “What is the market like?” “Is this a buyers market?” The outlook on the market was very positive and with valuable savings incentives being offered by builders, like Monarch, there’s never been a better time to buy. After the talk, many attendees reported how helpful it was to learn about all the different options

and great products that are out there to help them finance their home such as the cash back mortgages, biweekly payments and more. Monarch hopes that the initiative can help simplify what many people call ‘the biggest investment decision of a person’s life’. Said Jennifer Draganic, from the Marketing Team at Monarch, “It was so nice to casually

sit around the kitchen and great room in one of our homes and have an honest conversation with our customers, who were so appreciative to our speakers.” For more information, contact Jennifer Draganic Internet Home Consultant Monarch Corporation 1.416.495.3584

pay half of the cost up to a maximum of $240,000 in total, with the city paying for the balance of the cost. The estimated cost of the Arbuckle municipal drain improvements is $481,714. These Arbuckle municipal drain improvements are needed to address erosion concerns resulting from existing conditions as well as to accommodate new growth as long as new developments have adequate storm water flow controls. Ottawa city council took this action regarding works on the Arbuckle municipal drain as a result of a petition from affected landowners asking for such improvements. This petition is dated Feb. 6, 2006, more than eight years before council’s motion at its last meeting.

News - The Arbuckle municipal drain in Richmond is close to getting improvements. At its meeting on Wednesday, July 9, Ottawa city council adopted the engineer’s report for the Arbuckle municipal drain dated Feb. 2010 and gave first and second reading to a bylaw regarding the municipal drain work. However, council also passed a motion that the approval of these Arbuckle municipal drain works was subject to half of the estimate cost being paid by three developers in the western development lands of Richmond – Mattamy (Jock River) Limited, Richmond Village (North) Ltd. and Richmond Village (South) Ltd. These three firms will be expected to

News - The horses are coming to the Richmond fairgrounds. The Canadian Pony Club’s St. Lawrence Ottawa Valley Region will be taking over the fairgrounds in Richmond from Wednesday, July 16 through to this Sunday, July 20 as it hosts the Canadian Pony Club’s National Dressage Championship. Last year this National Dressage Championship was held in Calgary, Alberta, hosted by the Canadian Pony Club’s Southern Alberta Region. It attracted 36 competitors from across Canada. This National Dressage championship is held annually based on qualifying competitors from the prior year. The event is comprised of two technical tests, one mystery test, one written test and a turnout score. The competitors will typically ride two different horses for each of the technical tests and will use one of them for the mystery test. Dressage means conditioning of the horse’s mind, timing his responses to give the impression that the horse

and rider are a pair working as one. In dressage, a rider learns proper use of the hands, legs and seat to guide and control the horse. The horse learns balance, straightness, rhythm, impulsion, extension and collection. Dressage is a French term which translated to “training” and is often referred to as “horse ballet.” These Canadian Pony Club National Dressage Championships began in 2007 with the first event being hosted in Central Ontario. The second National Dressage Championship was held in Nova Scotia in 2009. The Canadian Pony Club is a member-based association managed by volunteers serving the needs of Canadian youth aged 6 to 25 who are interested in riding and caring for horses or ponies. Membership in the Canadian Pony Club includes about 4,500 individual members, organized through 175 branch or regional clubs from coast to coast. The Canadian Pony Club holds dressage competitions at the Regional level and then at the National level for the Regional qualifiers.

Riding the Rideau in honour of Dad By Tracey Tong

Peter Croft has always been close to his father, Russell. Despite living 4,000 miles apart – with Peter in Ottawa and Russell in Edinburgh, Scotland – the two men share an interest in fishing, and manage a visit every couple of years. Peter even followed in the footsteps of his architectural technologist dad, becoming an architect in the UK at 25, just before emigrating to Ottawa with his Canadian wife in 2001. In 2009, Russell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Fortunately, the disease was caught very early and was highly treatable.

The dreaded disease returned again before last Christmas. This time, the relapse took a huge toll on the formerly strong man. “The first two fights with cancer wore him down,” Peter said. ‘This time, there were stays at the hospital for a bunch of complications,” Peter said. “His bowel ruptured, and he got very close to death’s door.”

His father, now 68, is “very frail” and housebound, and doctors have told his family that the cancer is beyond cure. “We are obviously devastated,” Peter said of his tightknit family. Searching for a way to make a difference here at home in Ottawa, Peter signed up for Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6.

ride in his father’s honour. “I just hope he will live to see me do the ride,” said Peter, himself a father of two. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

But when Russell was diagnosed with an aggressive Large Cell B Lymphoma in 2010 – the family was worried. He underwent more than two years of chemotherapy.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Back in the ‘30s, the grape arbour served many purposes. I am not sure now if Father worked the vines to form the arbour, or if they grew that way naturally, although I strongly suspect Mother had asked Father to coax the long vines into shape. At any rate, natural or otherwise, the grape arbour was a high arch of green leaves, completely closed in on the north, east and west sides, with only the south portion facing the old log house open for easy access. I thought the hollow was enormous, as big as our kitchen it was, and Father and Mother could easily stand up inside it, so it would have had to be at least six feet from ground to the top vines. As soon as the leaves formed, the hollow was immediately turned into an outdoor room. At the start of the summer the grass inside was thick and green, but after a couple weeks of constant use, the grass shrivelled up and died and left a soft mat of straw in its place. Mother would move a wash stand into the very back of the cavity, and Audrey and she would take enough dishes out of the kitchen cupboard to stock the wash stand for the season. A bake table from the summer kitchen was moved out, two benches from the drive shed, and the big wood swing with the double seats helped fill the cavity, and the grape arbour was ready for business. We still ate our breakfasts in the house, but unless it was pouring rain, our noon meal was eaten outside. Father tried to tell Mother using the grape arbour as a dining room added to her work load tenfold, but Mother always said it was worth the effort. We carried the food out on trays covered with sparkling white tea towels which remained on the steaming bowls and platters all the time we were eating. Heaven forbid that a fly would come within a country mile of something that was going into our mouths. It didn’t matter how hot the day, the grape ar-

Grape arbour is place of solace in 30’s

bour was always cool inside. The big flat leaves kept the hot rays from penetrating, and if there was a breeze, they still allowed the air to circulate, so it was a most pleasant place to spend an hour at noon time. Father, instead of going into the kitchen to the creton couch, as he did every day after his noon hour dinner, would tilt back an old weather-beaten chair against the table and have his mid-day nap, which he seemed to be able to slip into with the greatest of ease inside or outside the house. When the meal was over, Audrey would bring out the big white granite dish pan filled with hot soapy water, and even the cleanup from the meal was done outside. Sport, our old collie stood at the ready, waiting for whatever morsel was left on a plate to plop right on the ground -- no need for a dog dish outside. On Saturday morning, as a rule, the grape arbour was off limits to everyone but Audrey. Her best friend Iva Thom would come to visit, after each had done her chores, and with their embroidery work, or knitting they would head for the old wood two seater swing. I was never allowed to go near them. When I did have the privilege of having the grape arbour to myself, I would take my dolls out there, and the space would become my house. I would rearrange the benches to form rooms, and the table would be the bed, and I would slip into a world of fantasy to which I alone would have admission. There were many quiet times spent in the grape arbour with Mother. These were private and special times. She with her sewing basket on the ground beside her chair and me sitting beside her listening to tales of her life in New York before she moved to the farm in Renfrew County, and I would think there was no better place to be in the whole wide world, than in that most secluded of spots, the grape arbour.

Stittsville News - Thursday, July 17, 2014 69

Community blood donor clinic is happening in Richmond blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Summertime clinics are always critical to the supply of blood and blood products because of the ongoing need for these products despite a drop in donors due to vacations. That’s why attendance of this community blood donor clinic in Richmond, as with others in July, is so critical and important. There is always a need for blood donations and the need is ongoing.

Special to the News

News - A community blood donor clinic held by Canadian Blood Services will be held in Richmond this coming Monday, July 21. This community blood donor clinic will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Philip’s Parish Hall at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond. To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinic, please visit the website www.

It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save

someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing.

Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Richmond is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.
