News - Malcolm â&#x20AC;&#x153;Macâ&#x20AC;? Storey has died. The lifelong Richmond resident who had a street named after him as well as the upstairs meeting hall at the Richmond ďŹ re hall passed away suddenly at his home on Saturday, Aug. 2. He was 83. Mr. Storey was one of Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected and involved citizens with a record of community service that included 48 years as a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter including 20 years as District Chief for Richmond, time as a school trustee of the Richmond Union Public School Board, terms as a Richmond village councillor and a Goulbourn township councillor, service as a clerk of session, elder and member of the Board of Management of St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church, a leadership role in the Richmond Loyal Orange Lodge and three decades as a Richmond businessman. In 1996, he was honoured as Goulbourn townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citizen of the Year as a tribute to his years of community service and involvement in the community. A plaque bearing his picture and a record of his community accomplishments can be found in the entrance lobby of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, among those honouring recipients of the Goulbourn Citizen of the Year award from 1990 to 2002 and the more recent Stittsville Citizen of the Year award recipients from 2009 to 2013. Being a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter in the Richmond community was near and dear to his heart, as he served in this capacity for 48 years including two decades as District Chief. Indeed, he selected being a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter over another of his passions, being an elected politician. This happened in the fall of 1978 when he was expected to run for re-election for a third term representing the Rich-
annual Staff and Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, Mr. Storey received an award marking his 45 years of service as a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter. But his most memorable recognition for his years of service to the community as a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter came at the opening of the new Goulbourn township ďŹ re hall in Richmond in June, 1994 when it was announced that the upstairs meeting hall in the new facility was being named the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Malcolm (Mac) C. Storey Hall.â&#x20AC;? This surprise announcement brought a rush of emotion to him at the time but he recovered quickly and soon was at the microphone where he told the more than 200 in attendance at the ceremony that the announcement had left him â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumbfounded.â&#x20AC;? He then went on to participate in the cutting of the ribbon to ofďŹ cially open the new ďŹ re hall, performing the ribbon cutting along with Goulbourn township mayor Paul Bradley and Goulbourn Fire Chief Joe Beckett. This ofďŹ cial opening ceremony for the new Goulbourn ďŹ re hall on Perth Street at Queen Charlotte Street at the west end of Richmond marked the ďŹ re time that Goulbournâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ reďŹ ghters wore their new dress uniforms. And ďŹ reďŹ ghters in dress uniform were on hand for Mr. Storeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral service last Friday, Aug. 8, lined up outside the front door of St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church and saluting in unison as Mr. Storeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casket was carried out of the church and placed in the waiting hearse. An Ottawa Fire Services ďŹ re truck led the ensuing funeral procession to St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Cemetery on Fortune Street where the burial took place.

lagoons and the village’s sewer system. With the formation of the new Goulbourn township in 1974, created by the amalgamation of the villages of Richmond and Stittsville and the former rural Goulbourn township, Mr. Storey was one of two councillors elected to represent the Richmond ward on the new council. He was re-elected overwhelmingly in 1976 but then came the 1978 election and his decision not to seek re-election in favour of remaining as a volunteer firefighter and District Chief. Mr. Storey later went on to serve on the Goulbourn Committee of Adjustment, continuing his municipal involvement. Mr. Storey’s service in municipal politics was acknowledged by today’s city of Ottawa as the Canadian and city of Ottawa flags at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners were flown at half-mast from sunrise to sunset last Friday, Aug. 8 which was the day of his funeral. Mr. Storey’s contribution to the community was recognized when a street in Richmond was named after him. Indeed, it was Goulbourn township mayor Betty Hill who suggested a street in the third phase of the King’s Park subdivision in Richmond be named after Mr. Storey. The developer had suggested “Finch Street” as the name for a street on a parcel of land which had formerly been designated as a school site but which the then-Carleton Board of Education had turned down, meaning that the site could be developed for housing. When the proposed name of “Finch Street” came up at a Goulbourn township council planning committee meeting in Oct. 1979, mayor Hill objected, pointing out that streets in that area of the village had been named after prominent residents, citing the examples of Dallaire Crescent after longtime village barber and fire chief Joe Dallaire and Chanonhouse Drive after Dr. Robert C. Chanonhouse, a longtime village doctor. “Let’s get another prominent resident,” mayor Hill said at the time, suggesting naming the street after Mac Storey. “I think he has contributed a lot to the village,” she said, outlining his contributions to the school board, council and the fire department. The developer had no objection to the mayor’s suggestion and the township’s planning committee agreed, so the street came to be named Mac Storey Street. Mr. Storey served as clerk of session at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond where his funeral service was held last Friday, Aug. 8. He was an
MALCOLM “MAC” STOREY
elder of the church and also served as a member of the Board of Management of the church. Mr. Storey was a leader of the Richmond Loyal Orange Lodge No. 151. He was usually the representative of the Lodge who presented the Richmond Loyal Orange Lodge Award at South Carleton High School’s graduation ceremony each year. The award goes to a graduating student who is pursuing post-secondary studies in history. The annual Richmond Fair parade has always featured a float representing the Richmond Loyal Orange Lodge and it was always pulled in the parade by a pickup truck driven by Mr. Storey. Mr. Storey and his wife Marlyn operated the M.C. Storey General Store on McBean Street for 30 years. The building now houses the Spotlight Hair Studio and Spa. The funeral procession passed by this location just after leaving the nearby St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on its way to the cemetery. Mr. Storey was born on May 31, 1931, the son of Charles Storey and Vesta Danby. Educated in Richmond schools, he married Marlyn Gardiner in 1956. He is survived by his wife Marlyn, his daughters Nancy Fleming-Kelly (Marty Kelly) and Cathy Kellar (Rudy) and five grandchildren.

Gaia Java James Blondeau a real storyteller john.curry@metroland.com
News - James Blondeau is more than a songwriter and singer. He is also a storyteller and so those at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop last Friday were treated not only to a variety of songs, many written by James himself, but also got to enjoy the background stories related not only to the songs but also to other projects in which James is or has been involved. Accompanying himself on the guitar, James began not with one of this own songs but with the folk song “500 Miles” which was popularized by the folk singing trio of Peter, Paul and Mary on their debut album in 1962. He followed this up with “Fire and Rain,” a 1970 folk rock song that is most associated with American singer James Taylor. He then turned to one of his own songs, preceding it with a background story of how the song came to be written. It was tied up with the Discovery Train, a mobile museum train operated by the National Museum of Canada which toured Canada from 1978 to 1980, travelling across the country to help Canadians learn about their history. James was involved with this Discovery Train which in Newfoundland was taken around the province by ship. James wrote a song about this ship and its sailors which he sang at this Gaia Java music evening. He followed this up with an iconic Canadian hit song, “Four Strong Winds,” the 1960’s song most closely associated with Ian Tyson. James then told about the “Timekeepers” project of 1994 which saw high school students across Canada interview grandparents as a way of telling the story of the history of Canada. A similar project is being envisioned for 2017, Canada’s 150th
anniversary year. One of those interviewed was a navy veteran and this was the lead-in to his song “Splice the Mainbrace” which he wrote using that naval term as the title and which told about the navy from Napolean to today. He finished up his first set at the music evening with his song “The Canadian Journey” which told about different parts of the country. He had preceded the song with a story about his involvement in a 1992 project that taped seniors giving their views about what they thought about the future of the country. There is going to be a follow-up project interviewing the grandchildren of these seniors to see if their views about the future of the country are different or changed from that of their grandparents. ARLO GUTHRIE
James’ second set following an intermission involved more of his stories and songs as well as a song by American folk singer Arlo Guthrie, a wartime song “The White Cliffs of Dover” by English singer Vera Lynn who was known as “The Forces’ Sweetheart” in World War Two and an Elvis Presley song “Only Fools Rush In.” James told about his involvement in recovering wartime planes from swamps and lakes which are then rebuilt if possible and placed in museums in Canada. One of the recovered planes from a swamp in Belgium could not be rebuilt and was made into ingots. It turned out that these ingots ended up being used in a monument to World War Two airmen which was unveiled by the Queen. James’ song “Lifeboat” was about a young man on his first sea voyage when there was a fire on the ship. He wrote it, he said, when he was 19 years old and went to Halifax af-

He also sang “Prophecy,” a song that he wrote about the Middle
East. Among other songs that he sung were “Danny Boy,” the iconic Irish ballad, and the English folk song
“The Wild Rover.” On a couple of these final songs he was accompanied by audience member Francois Richer playing “the spoons.” Francois grew up in New Brunswick where large family gatherings evolved into musical jamborees with the playing of the “spoons” one of their features. The rhythm of the spoons accompanying James’ singing filled the Gaia Java shop with sounds that made for a fitting and, indeed, memorable, climax to this evening of story and song. James Blondeau, who is from Dunrobin, played in concert venues across Canada and beyond before embarking on a career in video production during which he has created over 100 video, television, music and internet projects in 12 different countries. He has recently begun performing again. He has a strong commitment to keeping alive Canada’s awareness of the wartime contributions of veterans. He was recently honoured with an award from the Minister of Veterans Affairs for his work in promoting Canada’s wartime history. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville holds a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, Aug. 15, singer/ songwriter David daCosta will be performing at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop.

Prospect United Church transferred to municipality in 2004 People are invited to experience the interior of this heritage stone church. See the life of bygone decades in the windows, the old wooden shelves, the pews, the two wood stoves used to heat the building, the pulpit and other items from its treasured past. Rev. Arlyce Schiebout, who is the minister of the Ashton and Munster United Churches, will be leading the service of worship. Following the service, refreshments will be available. It was ten years ago, back in 2004, that the last service of worship was held at Prospect United Church. At that time, Lillian Hobbs of Munster, a licensed lay preacher, organized and led a summer service at the church. Pat Lindsey of Munster played the piano and led the combined choir which sang at the service. The year 2004 was a significant year for Prospect United Church because after more than 150 years serving residents of Prospect and area, the building was transferred to the municipality and the congregation was disbanded. Declining membership of the church’s congregation had made the church’s continuing operation difficult with only a limited budget to maintain the building. In 2004, arrangements were concluded with the Township of Beckwith for the transfer of the property to the municipality. At the end of 2004, the
Ottawa Presbytery declared the congregation of Prospect United Church disbanded. Methodism, one of the later founding faiths of the United Church of Canada, had come to the Prospect area with the first settlers, with the first Methodist itinerant minister travelling through the area as early as 1819. These early Methodist ministers, travelling by horse, spread the gospel by meeting with settlers, studying the Bible with them and preaching to them. These itinerant ministers followed a circuit or route, with the initial Augusta Circuit encompassing the area of the St. Lawrence River from Prescott to Kingston and inland as far north as there were settlers. It was the spring of 1819 that saw the first of these Methodist itinerant ministers arrive in Goulbourn and the surrounding area. In 1820, the very next year, the Rideau Circuit was created, covering the lands around the Rideau River from Merrickville to Hull. As settlement increased over the ensuing years, these larger circuits were divided up into smaller areas. For instance, by 1884, the Ashton Circuit consisted of Prospect Methodist Church along with Ashton Methodist Church and Munster Methodist Church. In 1925, the United Church of Canada was created through the union of Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists. Prospect Methodist Church decided to

Prospect United Church was officially closed for regular services in the late 1960’s, ending over a century as the focus of first Methodism and then the United Church in the

meeting in a home setting in the Prospect area since the mid 1820’s and the construction of the church came at the start of more than two decades of prosperity and growth in the Prospect community. In 1853, a post office was established at Prospect. According to historian and author Glenn Lockwood in his 1991 book “Beckwith: Irish and Scottish Identities in a Canadian Community,” the post office was named Prospect after an English plantation estate near Gorey in northeastern Wexford in Ireland, a spot with which some of the early Beckwith settlers were familiar. By 1857, the hamlet of Prospect had an estimated 75 inhabitants as well as a post office, store, tavern, two sawmills, carpenters, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a tailor, a school and the two churches. The Wesleyan Methodist clergyman at that time was Rev. William Coleman. It was in the 1850’s and 1860’s that saw Prospect peak in its development. Its population reached an estimated 100 in 1871. Prospect is located on the Franktown Road at the Beckwith/Goulbourn town line, about halfway between Richmond and Franktown. This was the main road between Bytown, Richmond and Perth in the early years of settlement in this area.

It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. Blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for

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. The challenge is that blood that is donated has a definite

Ramp up plan to clean our river
T
he city celebrated the heritage and history of the Ottawa River last week at Pinheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point Historic Site. Today, it is the source of drinking water for millions living in Ottawa and Gatineau, and boasts several beaches for recreational use. Boast is perhaps too strong a word, considering the number of times the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital has been forced to shut down its popular swimming areas due to a rise in E. coli levels, caused by animal droppings washed into the water and rainfall, which causes sewage systems to overflow into the river. The root of the problem is an old network of pipes, built between the late 1800s and 1960, that carry both storm water and untreated sewage, creating combined sewer overflows. Last month, millions of litres of untreated sewage was dumped into the river during heavy rain storms. The overflow is supposed to be treated at sewage plants, but the city is forced to divert the mixture into the river to prevent possible flooding and sewer
backups. The city is now in the fifth year of the Ottawa River Action Plan, a combination of 17 projects aimed at improving the health of the river, including a $195million plan to build large underground storage tanks to capture sewage in the event a treatment plant canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t process it fast enough. The plan aims to virtually eliminate the dumping of sewage into the Ottawa River. The city hopes to cover one third of the cost with the federal and provincial governments kicking in the rest of the funding. The provincial government says it supports the plan but is waiting for the federal government to commit funding until making any commitment. Meanwhile a new round of federal infrastructure funding is scheduled to begin this year. Our local MPs need to take action and press the government to provide the needed money as soon as possible. Right now we have a massive natural feature that is nice to look at but too often dangerous to touch.

Sarah McCarthy tournament remembers loss of life Sports - Sunny, warm weather prevailed for the eighth annual Sarah McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament at the Manderley on the Green golf course near North Gower last Saturday. A full field of golfers participated in the tournament, while another 50 or so joined the golfers for the dinner following the golfing. This year’s tournament was also held in remembrance of “two great friends,” namely Andrew Weeks and Greg McGlade. All proceeds from this year’s tournament
are being donated within the community in memory of Sarah McCarthy who died tragically in Nov. 2005. Sarah McCarthy, who was 25 at the time of her tragic death on Nov. 27, 2005, had left a pub at Kanata Centrum and was walking with two others including her uncle Terry to stay at the nearby Holiday Inn Select when her group tried to flag down a taxi. A verbal altercation ensued, with the end result being that the driver sped away but with Sarah, having been knocked down by the vehicle, caught underneath the vehicle. She ended up being dragged 1.5 kilometers, with her body eventually ending up on highway 417
eastbound just below the Kanata pedestrian overpass. No charges were ever laid against the taxi driver. An inquest was held into the death. This annual memorial Golf Tournament is one of the ways in which Sarah is being honoured and remembered. Her name is also on a plaque at a Trans Canada Trail Pavilion at a site near the Portage Bridge in downtown Ottawa. There is also a memorial bench in Sarah’s memory at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in Richmond. There are also awards presented at local schools in memory of Sarah.

To begin my column this week, I want to talk to you about the recent loss of one of Richmond’s leaders. On August 2nd, 2014, Malcolm Storey, known to everyone as Mac, passed away at the age of 83. Mac served as Councillor for Goulbourn Township from 1974 until 1978. Prior to that, he served as a Councillor for the Village of Richmond from 1966-1969. He spent the better part of five decades as a firefighter in Richmond as well but above all else, he was a resident of Richmond and he loved his village. On the day of his funeral, the flags at the Goulbourn Town Hall flew at half mast in his memory. He was a great man, a great leader and I was blessed to have known him. The Richmond Fair and the suppers at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, where he served as an elder for over 40 years, won’t be the same without Mac. I always enjoyed our chats as he boiled potatoes outside of the church, no matter how cold it was. He will be missed and his memory cherished for years to come. Wind Development Update As promised recently to a North Gower resident asking me to provide an update on the wind development situation in this column, I’ll do my best to provide a brief summary of where we stand on the issue. As many of you are aware, there has not been an opportunity for any company to apply for a wind project since 2010. What this has merely done is left residents in limbo as there has never been any outright rejection of the original proposal and the threat of a new application is still present. In my column on November 20th, 2013, I reported that City Council unanimously supported my motion asking the Province to make the necessary legislative and/or regulatory changes to provide municipalities with a substantive and meaningful role in siting wind power projects. At this time, municipalities continue to have no control but my motion seeks to change that for every municipality in Ontario. Municipal Government is closest to the people and we need the ability to have an equal place at the table on these issues. The motion also referenced the 1228 signatures on North Gower’s petition and their declaration as “Not a Willing Host”. Leading up to the passing of the motion, and afterwards, I met with the Minister of Energy, Bob Chiarelli, and also a representative from Prowind to further voice the concerns of local residents. By Minister Chiarelli, I was informed that the role municipalities would be factored in to the updated procurement process for Large Scale Renewable Energy projects. To that end, I attended the Ontario Power Authority’s community consultation meeting in Napanee on February 4th, 2014 and discussed the situation with OPA Vice President of Electricity Resources, JoAnne Butler. While she heard an earful from the 200 Napanee residents, she did take the time to speak with me and listen to what I had to say about North Gower and the circumstances surrounding the wind development application. The OPA is currently in the midst of their Large Renewable Procurement Request for Qualifications stage, but is still not accepting applications for large renewable projects. It is believe that the Request for Proposals stage will come in early 2015 and applicants will need to meet certain criteria, including development experience, financial capability and community engagement. The latter is where my Council approved motion comes in but the OPA has not yet nailed down what “community engagement” is. One possible component could be an approved Council resolution supporting the project, which I can assure you, will not be happening. These details should be clarified in the coming months, leading up to the RFP stage. In the meantime, no approvals will be given and I’ll be staying on top of the issue and will provide a further update in November, upon return of my column.

Pub hosts fundraiser to help bring a hospice to the area Special to the News
News - The Glen Scottish Pub & Restaurant will be living up to its name on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 24. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scottish Day at the Glenâ&#x20AC;? with a host of Scottish entertainment among the activities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a fundraiser in memory of the late Ivan Warner of Stittsville, with all of the proceeds going to the ongoing campaign to raise funds for a residential hospice to serve the
west Ottawa area. Mr. Warner, who was Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citizen of the Year in 2013, benefitted from hospice care in his final days with his wife June and his family now strong advocates and supporters of establishing a hospice to serve the western Ottawa area. On Sunday, Aug. 24 from 12 noon to 4 p.m., the Glen Scottish Pub & Restaurant becomes even more Scottish than normal. The Arnprior McNab Pipes & Drugs will be performing throughout the afternoon, as will a number of highland dancers.
The Scottish Society will have a presence at the event. There should be kids games at the fundraiser and a silent auction will be held, with auction items being sought from the various businesses in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza as well as from other businesses in the community. Anyone who would like to donate an item for the silent auction should contact Christine Philipson at 613831-1575. A highlight of the fundraiser will
be a tug-of-war competition involving Ottawa Fire Service firefighters, among others, and including even the pipe band members in their kilts. You may just see what they wear under their kilts as they huff and puff in the tug-of-war. Enjoy the outdoor patio at The Glen Scottish Pub & Restaurant throughout the afternoon and for football fans, the Ottawa RedBlacks football game that afternoon will be broadcast for those on the patio.
Another highlight of the fundraiser promises to be a huge bake sale and CFRA radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Madely has been invited to auction off some pies, something which he did with great success and lots of fun at a fundraiser dance for the hospice project at the Lions Hall in Stittsville earlier this year. Both city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri are expected to be in attendance at this fundraiser.

Soil turning good time at this year’s plowing match Special to the News
News - Plowing of the soil has been around for much of recorded history. And while improvements and advances have been made over the centuries, going from ox-drawn scratch plows to mouldboard plows which cut furrows as well as turning the soil to lighter and factory-built plows in the 18th century to modern multiple reversible plows mounted on a tractor via a three-point linkage, the idea has always been the same: to turn over the upper layer of the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops. You will be able to see plowing first-hand and see several forms of plowing from plowing with a team of horses to using newer reversible
plows at the upcoming annual Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match that is happening in Goulbourn this year. The 2014 Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match is being held at the Simpson family’s Jockbrae Farms on Fallowfield Road between Munster Road and Dwyer Hill Road in Goulbourn on Friday, Aug. 22 and Saturday, Aug. 23. The VIP plowing portion of the event, which usually attracts municipal, provincial and federal politicians, will be held on Friday, Aug. 22 at noon. In this segment of the plowing match, these political dignitaries all try their hand at plowing with a tractor and plough. At last year’s Ottawa Carleton plowing Match which was held at the Edwards family farm at Navan, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren was the winner of the VIP plowing.
Competitive action at the 2014 Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match gets underway in earnest on Saturday, Aug. 23 with the horse and antique plowing competitions as well as the tractor plowing. This plowing will continue from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will also be an antique display, a Queen of the Furrow presentation at 1 p.m. and a windup banquet at 5 p.m. Members of the public are most welcome to visit the plowing match site for this year’s plowing match, either on Friday, Aug. 22 for the VIP plowing or on Saturday, Aug. 23 for the plowing competition itself. This plowing match is hosted by the Ottawa-Carleton Plowmen’s Association. Plowing matches such as this one have been part of Ontario’s agricultural history for decades. At such
matches, farmers have the opportunity to display their skills in plowing. Plowing done by competitors in these plowing matches is scored on the basis of ten criteria, with the final score being out of 200 for tractors and 180 for horses. These scores are used to determine if the participant has the skill level needed to participate in the upcoming International Plowing Match which is being held at Ivy, ON in Simcoe County south of Barrie, running from Tuesday, Sept. 16 to Saturday, Sept. 20. The Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association is a member of the Ontario Plowing Association and works to promote agriculture in the Ottawa area. The Association also works to support 4H activities in the area. The plough is one of the oldest tillage tools known to man, going
back several thousands year, with the oldest ploughs known to exist dating from around 2000 BC. As a tillage tool in agriculture, the plow over the years has transformed millions of acres of land into a productive seedbed. Plowing prepares a seedbed with a top layer of soil that can easily surround the newly planted seed which encourages germination. Plowing also helps control weeds and assists in the degradation of mulch into organic matter. Plowing also increases water retention and improves soil aeration. New improved equipment has meant that plowing now plays a role as well in soil conservation through the control of water and wind erosion, in energy conservation through reduced tillage practices, and in precision seed placement.

Annual cemetery service rich in history John Curry News Staff
News - The annual memorial service of Munster Union Cemetery will take place on Sunday, Aug. 24 at 2:30 p.m. at the Munster United Church on Munster Road in Munster
This annual memorial service at the Munster Union Cemetery goes back to 1935. This is when the first such service, then called a Decoration Day Service, was held at the Munster Union Cemetery under the auspices of the Loyal Orange Lodge No. 917 of Munster.
man’s belief that the Munster area should have a non-denominational cemetery in its midst to meet the needs of those for whom burial in a church cemetery was not preferred or possible. The Munster Union Cemetery Incorporated looked after the Munster Union Cemetery from its beginnings until 1942 when the operation of the cemetery was turned over to a Board of Trustees. The original two acre site of the Munster Union Cemetery has grown in recent years. In February, 1980, a parcel of land was obtained along the south side of the original cemetery. In April, 2002, land
It is held on the fourth Sunday of August. The Munster Union Cemetery itself dates back to 1886 when Thomas Tubman and his wife, the former Isabella Hill, provided two acres of land as the site for the cemetery. This was due to Mr. Tub-
was obtained extending the cemetery property west to the Munster Road. However, this parcel of land only included the land on the south side of the access road into the original cemetery site. Extensive fundraising and donations enabled the Board of Trustees to purchase this parcel of land, thus ensuring that the cemetery would never become landlocked. As for the land on the north side of the access road, extending from the original cemetery to the Munster Road, this was acquired by the Board of Trustees thanks to a donation made by Ronald and Patricia Potter in memory
of Charles Harry Potter and Irene Marcellus Hobbs, the parents of Ronald Potter. A monument now stands at the front of this land recognizing this donation. With the acquisition of the land out to the Munster Road, the Munster Union Cemetery proceeded with another project, a granite post fence. The first of these engraved granite fence posts, each donated by a family or families with ties to the Munster Union Cemetery, were erected in 2006, with more erected subsequently, completing the granite post fence across the Munster Road frontage of the cemetery.

Light-rail tunnel more than half excavated Feds still not committing to funding Stage 2 to extend rail east, west, south
R0012840366-0814
News - Mayor Jim Watson doesn’t want Ottawa to lose momentum on the next phase of its light-rail project after the downtown line is done in 2018. As the city marked a milestone of excavating more than half the material it must remove to build the 2.5kilometre portion of the line that’s underground, politicians turned their attention to the future. Premier Kathleen Wynne, who was on hand for a tour of the tunnel, reiterated that Ontario is committed to building the next phase of LRT, which would bring rail transit to Orléans, Bayshore and Bowesville. Last fall, Watson announced the plan for the next stage of light rail, which would add another 35 kilometres of new rail with 19 new stations at a cost of $2.5 billion. “We’ve already committed to work with the city on Phase 2,” the premier said. “I’m a big believer in that kind of long-term planning. You can’t build this kind of infrastructure overnight. You have to have a plan in place. To its credit, Ottawa has got a plan in place.” But the federal government isn’t committing to anything yet, said Orléans MP Royal Galipeau. “We haven’t received a plan for Phase 2 yet, and when it comes, I’m sure that we’ll be at the table,” he said during a news conference following the tunnel tour. “I’m not sure that we are going to underwrite everybody’s plans, because everybody wants more money than the taxpayers can afford.”
Last fall, Watson said Ottawa’s $975-million ask of the federal government represents two per cent of the federal infrastructure fund - less than the city’s proportion of the country’s population. After the tunnel tour, the mayor said it is important the city not lose the momentum and it has gained during the first phase of LRT, which includes above-ground portions to stretch the line from Tunney’s Pasture in the west to Blair Station at its east terminus. “We don’t want to lose the skilled workers, the knowledge, the equipment and the momentum that we gained with Phase 1,” Watson said. “I don’t want to see them leave when we take that first train ride in 2018 and they’re off because we’re still haggling with the federal government and the provincial government to get on with Phase 2,” Watson said. The city isn’t ready to submit a formal funding request to the upper levels of government – that won’t come until after an environmental assessment study is completed in late 2015 or early 2016, Watson said. But he’ll be working to build the case to federal officials leading up to that point. “We need to make sure that Mr. Galipeau’s constituents have equal access to light rail at Place D Orléans and we need to make sure that people in the south end and west end can join in on what I think is going to be a remarkable transit system. “We obviously have to sell our case because we’re going to be competing with every jurisdiction in Canada for those dollars,” Watson said. “But we

The premier, mayor and officials toured the 441 metres of tunnel that the roadheader dubbed “Jawbreaker” has chewed through between the west portal at LeBreton Flats and the Lyon Street station. The event marked the Rideau Transit Group surpassing the 50 per cent mark for the amount of material excavated from the tunnel. About 55,000 cubic metres of aggregate has been removed from the tunnel
– enough to fill approximately 23 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The material is sold to a contractor to ship it away and turn it into a product – likely concrete. That tunnel is now being expanded into the cavern that will form the Lyon station, said Steve Cripps, director of the city’s rail implementation office. About 250 metres of tunnel has been dug from the central portal at Kent and Queen streets, Cripps said, heading both east and west from that site. Digging at the

eastern portal is now north of Laurier Avenue and into bedrock near the University of Ottawa, Cripps said. Tunneling on that side ran into trouble in February, when part of the tunnel ceiling collapsed due to loose soil in an old, undocumented construction pit. After shoring up the ground there, tunneling resumed and has progressed about 115 metres. The three roadheader diggers can each plow through about five to 5.5 metres of rock each day.

Community - The Grassroot Grannies are preparing for their fifth Ride to Turn the Tide cycling event taking place from Sept. 3 to 5. The two-and-a-half day ride from Stittsville to Almonte, Perth, Merrickville, Metcalfe and back has raised more than $150,000 over the past four years, and the grannies hope to add another $45,000 this year. The ride was first started by Grassroot Grannies member Nancy Hough. An avid bicyclist, Hough met with a pair of women from Victoria, B.C. while cycling in Cuba in 2007. The Victoria women had begun their own cycling event in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign which supports African grandmothers looking after their grandchildren. Hough was inspired by the cycling event, and returned to
Ottawa hoping to start something similar with help from the Grassroot Grannies. Now, the Ride to Turn the Tide is one of the Grassroot Grannies’ largest fundraisers for the foundation, alongside their annual Mother’s Day plant sale. The funds they raise are part of the $19.5 million raised by Canadians for the foundation’s campaign. The Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign is a response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic that killed millions of parents in Africa, leaving grandmothers as the primary caregivers to millions of children. The money helps to provide grandmothers with some basic needs like food, housing and school fees, but also to support grandmothers’ small businesses with small grants. That’s an important aspect for Hough, she said. “The money is going to help make the grandmothers independent,” said Hough. “They help them set up proj-

News - A simple sign on the front window of the iconic Richmond Bakery delivered the message. “Sorry, CLOSED! Thank you all, for your support over the years! Joe.” And with those dozen words, this Richmond institution, known throughout the Ottawa area and beyond, has ceased. An anonymous note from a customer was taped to the window below the closure sign last Monday. It read: “Joe, We are sad to see you go! Just wanted to say THANKS to you and your staff for all the delicious memories that you have given us and we wish you the very best on whatever adventure life takes you next!” And so ends the Richmond Bakery which has been at this location since 1952 and is part of a bakery tradition in Richmond that goes back to the late 1880’s. There was a bakery on Strachan Street in Richmond in the late 1800’s, run by a Sam Wright from Kemptville. It was purchased by Gabriel Montgomery in 1900 and he operated this bakery business until 1926, employing two bakers and a number of bread drivers. H sold the bakery to Joseph Sleeth of Ottawa who continued the business until 1942. In 1930, Harold Brown, founder of the Richmond Bakery, opened his first bake shop on McBean Street just south of Martin Street. He implemented bread delivery in the surrounding rural area. However, in 1933, he sold the business and opened a bakery in Kemptville. After serving in the Second World War, he opened another bakery on McBean Street in Richmond.Then, in 1952, Mr. Brown purchased property at the corner of McBean Street and Perth Street and built a new bake shop with all new equipment installed. The shop became known for its pastry and soon hundreds would visit Richmond on a Sunday just to visit the bakery and purchase its freshly baked goodies. The Richmond Bakery motto became: “We Bake Everything We Sell and We Sell Everything We Bake.” In June, 1975, the Richmond Bakery was sold by its founding family, Harold Brown and his sons Gordon and Ted to Richmond resident Paul Kunert, an experienced baker.

Ambush in Richmond! John Curry News Staff
News - The band “Ambush” showed why it is known as “Canada’s Rockin’ Country Band” with its performance at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Thursday evening, Aug. 7. It delivered a palate of iconic country and rock cover songs along with several of its own recordings, almost all of which were upbeat and toe-tapping. These were all fun songs. No wonder there were fans up dancing in front of the stage throughout the whole hour and a half concert, the second of two such free Thursday evening concerts held at the fairgrounds thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management in cooperation with the city of Ottawa. “Ambush” started off with the upbeat “Spirit in the Sky,” the 1969 hit written by Norman Greenbaum and most recently associated with English singer Gareth Gates who was runnerup in the Pop Idol talent show. And then came an ongoing litany of mainly country hits, all easily recognizable. There was Alan Jackson’s 1993 hit “Chattahoochee” which won the Country Music Awards Song of the Year and Single of the Year awards – it’s that good! This was followed by the more recent 2012 hit “Cruise” by the American country duo Florida Georgia Line. Then it was a flashback of sorts, with “Ambush” presenting “Ring of Fire,” Johnny Cash’s biggest hit of his career way back in 1963. It even got the audience singing along. After “Ambush” played its own cross-Canada hit “This Could Be The Night,” there came a bevy of wellknown hits – “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show, “Country Girl” by Luke Bryan, 1969’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” by Bob Seger which has become a popular music standard, and “Footloose,” the 1985 Grammy Song of the Year by American singer Kenny Loggins. After another of the group’s own songs, “My Little Girl,” the audience of over 300 people got to hear Ambush’s rendition of John Michael Montgomery’s 1995 country hit “Sold,” followed by “Wanted,” the 2012 single by American country music singer Hunter Hayes which Ambush has included on its CD recorded live in Cuba last year. “Ambush” then offered up a series of songs covering a range of tastes – “I Gotta Feeling” by the American hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, a 2009 hit that by 2013 had over 8.3 million digital downloads; John Denver’s 1975 crossover hit “Thank God, I’m A Country Boy”; the 1985 up

Kennedy’s daughter Caroline; and American country music singer Luke Bryan’s 2014 hit “Play It Again.” “Ambush” played its latest single,
recorded in Nashville, called “Summertime Crazy” after which it wound up with “Mountain Music,” the 1982 song by the American country/southern rock/bluegrass band Alabama which has now become a country classic, and finally with “Don’t Stop Believing,” the 1981 power ballad
by the American rock band Journey which has become a rock music anthem. Donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario were collected during the concert, with $650 being collected. The Richmond Village Association
ran a BBQ to raise funds for youth activities in Richmond while the Richmond District Lions Club held a corn roast, selling corn on the cob. “Ambush” has been performing since 1993, having built up a loyal fan base throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Ottawa’s newest brewery opens in east end Dominion City Brewing Company launches beer line, Canotek Rd. store Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The Ottawa craft brew scene has a new member in the form of Dominion City Brewing Company, an east-end establishment that opened their doors to customers on Aug. 9. Located at 15-5510 Canotek Rd., the brewery was formed by three friends – Josh McJannett, Alex Monk and Andrew Kent – who source ingredients from local farmers to brew their signature recipes. Right now the operation is producing three brews – Town & Country (a blonde ale), Two Flags IPA (a citrusy India pale ale), and Earl Grey Marmalade Saison (a Belgian wheat beer). A pre-launch tasting party, held Aug. 5 at Brothers Beer Bistro on Dalhousie Street, gave residents a chance to interact with the guys and sample Dominion City’s offerings. The brewery idea was sparked after McJannett took an interest in

homebrewing, a passion that eventually led him to take a course in the craft at Algonquin College, followed by more education at the Sibiel Institute in Chicago. “Gradually our freezers and backyards were taken over by supplies of hops and brewing equipment,” said McJannett. “The thought came to mind that we should brew beer for others. Two years ago we got serious in planning a business for our beer.” Using all of their free time to get the operation off the ground, the three friends turned to the crowd-funding website Kickstarter to solicit the capital needed to launch the project. “We’re Canada’s first Kickstarterfunded brewery,” said McJannett. The tastebuds of friends and relatives came in handy during the recipe-creation process; eventually they settled on three appealing brews that were both drinkable and original.

Lots to dig for Archeology Month in Ottawa Staff
Community - Amateur archeologists of all ages can unearth the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical secrets during archeology month. All through August, the city and National Capital Commission are offering workshops, programs and exhibitions of interest to history buffs and kids who want to get their hands dirty. A rare opportunity to participate in the excavation of an archeological site will take place on Aug. 23 and 24 at Vincent Massey Park. National Capital Commission Archeologist Ian Badgley will lead two day-long digs aimed at gaining a better understanding of history of the site before western contact. Located at an ancient portage point on the Rideau River, the site was used by people in the Archaic Period around 4,000 years ago. Participation is free but parking at the lot off Riverside drive is $7 per day. More information is available at ncc-ccn. gc.ca or by calling 613-239-5678 ext. 5751. For children aged six to nine, a hands-on program at Billings Estate National Historic Site, 2100 Cabot St., teaches youngsters how to set up a digging grid, identify and date artifacts and make a time capsule. The program takes place
from 1 to 3 p.m. every Wednesday in August. Registration is recommended by calling 613247-4830 and the cost is $6 per child. In the west end, families can become explorers for a day at Pinheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point Historic Site, located at 270 Pinheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point Rd. in Dunrobin. On Saturdays in August from 10 a.m. to noon, the Explorerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club will have families learning about history, natural heritage and ecosystems together as they search for insects, wildlife and geological features. An exhibit of pre-contact and historical archeology related to Ottawa and surrounding areas will take place at city hall for the rest of the month. Presented in partnership with the Algonquins of PikwĂ kanagĂ n First Nation (Omamawininni Pimadjwowin The Algonquin Way Cultural Centre) and the Cultural Education Centre at Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation, the exhibit can be viewed at city hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W.

Campgrounds to sing hymns Special to the News
News - The Stittsville Campgrounds will be coming alive again with music and hymns this Saturday, Aug. 16, just like they did for over 75 years when they were known first as the Holiness Movement Campgrounds and then as the Methodist Camp-
grounds. Last August the Goulbourn Township Historical Society erected a plaque at the site of the Stittsville Campgrounds which is now the Alexander Grove Park beside the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. Now, a gathering of anyone interested is being held
this Saturday, Aug. 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the site of the plaque. There will be a service of hymns, many of which would have been sung at the Campgrounds in bygone years. This will be followed by a pot luck lunch. Everyone is welcome to attend. Those planning to attend
are encouraged to take along lawn chairs and umbrellas. The gathering will go ahead rain or shine. For more information about this special service of hymns and pot luck lunch at the Stittsville Campgrounds plaque site, please contact Lillian Hobbs at 613-8385309.

Seventeen-year-old becomes youngest Kunstadt tennis finalist Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Sports - It was a record-breaking weekend for the 18th-annual Kunstadt Open Tennis Tournament at the Glen Cairn Tennis Club. The tournament, which ran from Aug. 6 to 10, saw the longest match played in its 18-year history, lasting nearly four hours. It also saw its youngest finalist, 17-year-old Jordan Sweeney from OrlĂŠans, battle for the top prize. Despite the exciting action, the tournament ended with both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top seeds taking first place. Nicolas Vincent from Hull had a fairly smooth tournament, keeping his matches to two sets throughout the tournament, including for the final match-up against Sweeney.
Sweeney, on the other hand, managed a few upsets, said Ron Kunstadt, vice president of Kunstadt Sports and an organizer of the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He beat our second seed (Zhenia Kondratovsky) on Saturday night in the quarter-finals, which was a bit of a surprise,â&#x20AC;? said Kunstadt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know he is a great player,â&#x20AC;? he said, but nonetheless had a tough road to the finals with a three-set semifinal match against tenth seed Sasha Mironov. Despite Sweeneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong push to the finals, the wins ended for Sweeney with a fairly quick match against Vincent, with a score of 6-3 and 6-2 for Vincent. The youngest champion in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history was a 21-yearold player in 1999. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals saw Fournier, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champ from the Hogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Back area, take on her perpetual rival, Petra Januskova from Nepean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In their lives, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably played each other 50 times,â&#x20AC;? said Kunstadt, with several of those matches taking place in the Kunstadt open finals. The match lasted three sets, with Fournier starting off with a 6-3 win, but Januskova coming back to take the second set 6-3. However, Fournier would remain the champ ending the final set 6-4. The tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second record-breaking match occurred via a pairing of Ron Kunstadt and Bill McEachern who has played in all 18 Kunstadt Opens. The match lasted three hours and 45 minutes, ending as the longest match in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and a win for McEachern. Organizers said the match was a
fan favourite, with a score of 7-5, 5-7 and 7-5, but likely took a lot out of the competitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I could have played the next day anyways,â&#x20AC;? said Kunstadt. While Kunstadt may have been
spent, the tournament certainly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are never stopping,â&#x20AC;? said Kunstadt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to run it for the next 100 years. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I will be alive, but there will be a 100th-annual Kunstadt Open.â&#x20AC;?

Tokessy baseball tournament raises $20,000 in 19th year Adam Kveton
tournament’s 11 divisions.
adam.kveton@metroland.com
RESULTS:
Sports - There were plenty of winners at the 19th-annual Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament, but the ultimate winner was CHEO. The tournament, which ran from Aug. 8 to 10 primarily at Walter Baker Park, raised $20,000 for CHEO’s cardiology department, nearly $5,000 higher than the tournament’s average donation, totalling $300,000. “It was fantastic,” said Richard Perkins, an organizer of the tournament. “It was a good year.” Most of the money raised through the tournament comes from year-long raffle ticket sales from the Kanata Little League Baseball Association and concession sales during the tournament, said Perkins. It was a strong year for Kanata teams as well, which took home gold in three of the

Coaches and other adults make a donation to participate, and try to hit the ball into one of three targets in the outfield to win a prize. Having hit the $300,000 mark for total donations to CHEO, tournament organizers are gearing up to soar past that total with the 20th-annual tournament next year, said Perkins. “That’s certainly I think what the general feeling is, that we are going to try and make a pretty big splash next year,” he said, though there is no telling what that might look like.

56ers finish in second in Ottawa fastball league Special to the News
Sports - The Stittsville 56ers have ďŹ nished in second place in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL). The 56ers could have ďŹ nished in ďŹ rst place and received a bye into the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Weekend Showdown on Friday, Sept. 12 and Saturday, Sept. 13 in Stittsville but, alas, it was not to be as the 56ers dropped a 107 decision to the Quyon Flyers in a game at Alexander Grove in Stittsville on Wednesday, Aug. 6. It was tied 7-7 going into the sixth inning in this game but Quyon rallied for three runs to take a 10-7 win. Darren Featherstone took the loss on the mound for the 56ers while
Matt Greer was the winning hurler for the Quyon Flyers. A victory would have given the 56ers ďŹ rst place but the loss meant that Quyon ďŹ nished atop the regular league standings with 23 points, three more than the 56ers. Quyon Flyers as a result get a bye into the Final Weekend Showdown while the other six teams in the league, including the Stittsville 56ers, must now compete in bestof-ďŹ ve playoff series. This will determine the three teams that will advance to join the Quyon Flyers in the Final Weekend Showdown. The Stittsville 56ers, second place ďŹ nishers in the regular season, will take on the 14C Victory team in a
best-of-ďŹ ve playoff series. The 14C Victory team ďŹ nished in seventh place in the regular season. The other two playoff series will see West Carleton Electric take on Kars Aces while Kanata Pirates will face the Micksburg Twins. All of this playoff action will begin the week of Monday, Aug. 18 as this week there is no GOFL action as many of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players are competing in the International Softball Congress (ISC) World Tournament in Kitchener this week. The Stittsville 56ers had defeated the Micksburg Twins 10-9 in a GOFL regular season game played at Carp on Tuesday, Aug. 5. The 56ers rallied in the last in-
ning to snatch victory from possible defeat. The 56ers had led 7-6 after six innings but the Micksburg Twins scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning to take a 9-7 lead. Stittsville, though, then scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to win by a 10-9 score. Darren Featherstone was the winning pitcher for the 56ers in this game. Matt McIntyre took the loss for the Twins, coming on in relief of Jamey Mick. The ďŹ nal regular season standings in the GOFL saw the Quyon Flyers ďŹ nish in ďŹ rst place with a record of 11 wins, 6 losses and 1 tie, good for 23 points.
The Stittsville 56ers were second with 20 points thanks to a record of 8 wins, 6 losses and 4 ties. Third place went to West Carleton Electric with 19 points thanks to 9 wins, 8 losses and 1 tie. The Kanata Pirates amassed 17 points on a record of 8 wins, 9 losses and 1 tie, the exact same record as the Micksburg Twins. However, the Kanata Pirates were awarded fourth place based on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season series against Micksburg. Sixth place in the regular season went to Kars Aces with 8 wins and 10 losses, good for 16 points. The 14C Victory squad ďŹ nished in seventh spot with a record of 7 wins and 11 losses for 14 points.

Vintage motorbikes take centre stage at Billings Estate al years. And in 2010, when the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group pitched the idea to hold a vintage motorcycle show on the grounds, Lewandowski said it was a natural partnership. About 50 vintage bikes are typically on display during the annual event. “We’ve had one-of-a-kind (bikes) that everybody dreams about seeing some day,” said Leighton Brown, past president of the motorcycle group’s Ottawa chapter. One year, the show featured a 1930s Douglas sport motorbike that had been restored in mint condition. This year’s show will feature the evolution of motorbikes through the years. Last year, the theme was motorcycles around the world. “The history of Billings Estate is pretty broad and it covers many decades so this allows us to narrow the focus on a particular aspect of history,” Lewandowski said.
Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Hugh Braddish Billings II was considered a bit of a risk-taker in his time, and not only because he was a pilot in the First World War. The Ottawa historical figure rode a rudimentary motorbike in his youth just before he went off to fight and die in the war. “He was, I guess, just being a little bit of a daredevil and the fact that he went off to fight as a fighter pilot makes sense because he took his penchant for motorsports to a new level, from bikes to planes,” said Brahm Lewandowski, a museum administrator with the city. While Billings Estate Museum in south Ottawa doesn’t have any vintage motorcycles in its collection, several will be on display at the city museum during the fourth annual Vintage Motorcycle Show on Aug. 17. The museum has showcased antique cars at events for sever-
“So we’re looking at some of the first motorbikes that were developed, and they were really plain bicycles that had engines attached to them, and so that’s how motorcycles evolved,” he said. “And it was during the First World War that they really went into mass production because they were used in the war effort primarily for communications (delivering messages), but they were used in combat
as well.” The motorcycles that will be on display at Billings Estate will be more than 25 years old. “I’d rather people come and see something special,” Brown said. One of the very first motorcycles was steam-powered, and during the upcoming show children will have the opportunity to make their own steampowered boats and float them in a basin of water.
The show will also feature a children’s tricycle race. “This event definitely does attract kind of an older male audience, but we do want to have it appeal to families as well,” Lewandowski said. “Some of those guys that want to come out and spend the afternoon looking at motorcycles, can maybe bring their kids along with them, and the kids will have something to keep them occupied as well.”
Members of the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group have been invited to bring their two-wheeled treasures to the upcoming show, but the event is also open to non-members, who are asked to pre-register. The show takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Billings Estate Museum located at 2100 Cabot St. Admission is $6 per person, $10 for two or $16 per family.

Colonel By Drive crossing to be built next fall: association National Capital Commission to prepare design for new intersection this fall Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A safe crossing for pedestrians at Colonel By Drive and Clegg Street is coming next fall, the Old Ottawa East Community Association says it was told by the National Capital Commission. That’s a different message than NCC chief executive officer Mark Kristmanson delivered at the recent opening of a new traffic signal on the opposite side of the canal. Kristmanson said a safe crossing for the Colonel By Drive side was a priority, but a timeline for the project wouldn’t be discussed until budget deliberations this fall. That’s still the case, said NCC spokesman Cédric Pelletier, but the commission is now also planning to come up with a preliminary design starting late this fall in November or December. But Pelletier wouldn’t confirm what Old Ottawa East community association president John Dance said he was told last week by an NCC staffer: that the Colonel By Drive crossing would indeed be built
in 2015. Dance said he spoke to Gary Lacey, executive director of capital stewardship with the NCC, last week. “He was very clear – he said the construction would be planned for fall 2015,” Dance said. “That wasn’t planned before.” The construction of some type of safer crossing, whether it’s a traffic signal or stop signs, would be a huge improvement that’s at least 25 years coming, Dance said. At that time, residents sent a letter to Jean Pigott, who was the head of the NCC at the time, to request improvements. “The traffic particularly at peak makes it almost impossible to cross as a cyclist or a pedestrian,” Dance said. “When they do go they take their lives in their hands.” A glimmer of hope came in the form of a safe crossings study the commission undertook three years ago. Fourteen crossing areas were identified, with the NCC prioritizing four spots: Fifth Avenue on the Queen Elizabeth Driveway side of the canal, Hartwell Locks, Dow’s Lake and Clegg Street
on the Colonel By Drive side. More consultations and work late this fall will determine what type of “safe crossing” would be built at Colonel By Drive and Clegg Street. A signal light crossing, depending on needs at a particular site, can generally cost the city $75,000 to $100,000. The latest safe crossing initiative by the National Capital Commission and the city, a new signalled crosswalk at Fifth Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Driveway, became fully operational on July 15, a mere two months after the commission held its first and only open house on the crossing and days before the RedBlacks hit the field at TD Place Stadium for the first time on July 18. That signal cost $390,000 because it is a hybrid signal that includes lights for vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists. In the future, that intersection is planned to be linked with the one at Colonel By Drive and Clegg via a pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Rideau Canal. The cost of the proposed footbridge is pegged at $17.5 million and currently the city has no plans to fund its portion of the project until 2020 or 2021. The NCC also built a safer

The Old Ottawa East Community Association has been told the NCC plans to buildto build a safer crossing on the other side of the canal next fall, despite the commission’s chief executive officer recently refusing to confirm when a Colonel By Drive crossing would be built. crossing near Hartwell Locks late last year at a cost of $300,000, which included four street lights and a pedestrian refuge island. The location is designated a priority crossing because of its proximity to the
university. A similar type of crossing on Colonel By Drive at Dow’s Lake was completed in 2013 and cost the NCC $350,000. It included a pedestrian crossing as well as improvement to the
parking lot at Carleton University and the nearby roadway. Pedestrian and cycling crossing signs were placed at both spots. With files from Michelle Nash

uOttawa to open campus in western Ontario University partners with Woodstock Staff
News - The University of Ottawa will establish a satellite campus offering programs in French in Woodstock, Ont. The university has partnered with the City of Wood-
stock, which is located west of Toronto. in response to the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities’ major capacity expansion request for proposals. Both the University of Ottawa and La Cité have proposed to address the French language post-secondary education access gap in central southwestern Ontario. The satellite campus will
offer academic undergraduate and specialized trade programs in French and French immersion. According to the university, one third of Ontario’s francophone population is located in the centre and southwest of the province, which has been identified by the Office of Francophone Affairs as underserved for post-secondary education offerings.
“As Ontario’s flagship bilingual research-intensive university, we are committed to meeting the needs of francophones and francophiles wishing to pursue their postsecondary education in French,” said Allan Rock, president of the University of Ottawa. The university said creating access in French will help improve student retention rates
for francophone and French immersion students. The university and Woodstock are working together to build residence spaces as well as ancillary services in the downtown core of the city. Woodstock Mayor Pat Sobeski said the city is enthusiastic to work in partnership with the university to bring post-secondary education to the community. “That was way to easy!”
“Downtown Woodstock has all the necessary ingredients to quickly create a dynamic university campus and city council is excited by this opportunity to further revitalize the downtown,” Sobeski said in a press release. The establishment of a University of Ottawa satellite campus in Woodstock will be subject to approval by the Ontario government. “I just clicked and saved 90%”

Three men hospitalized after car rams tree Occupants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;extremely lucky:â&#x20AC;&#x2122; paramedic Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The driver of a convertible became pinned in his vehicle after it struck a tree and flipped on its side in Leitrim last week. Given the â&#x20AC;&#x153;very seriousâ&#x20AC;? damage to the front of the vehicle â&#x20AC;&#x153;we believe it was a high-speed crash,â&#x20AC;? said J.P. Trottier, spokesman for the Ottawa Paramedic Service. The front end of the car was so damaged â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to tell itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a car,â&#x20AC;? he said.
About 15 firefighters, four ambulance crews and Ottawa police attended the scene, located halfway between Bank Street and Albion Road, around 1:10 p.m. on Aug. 7. All three male occupants, believed to be in their 20s, were injured in the single-vehicle crash. The driver was considered to be in the worst shape with a serious head injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although he was conscious ... paramedics were treating him at the same time as extrication was going on,â&#x20AC;?
Trottier said, adding the man had good vital signs and was listed in serious but stable condition at hospital. The front passenger also suffered a head injury, and a possible skull fracture. The lone back-seat occupant was up and walking around by the time emergency crews arrived. He had minor facial injuries, but was also taken to hospital as a precaution. It took firefighters more than 30 minutes to extricate the driver, whose lower extremities became pinned under the crumpled dash. The challenge was rescuing him
while his side of the vehicle was in the air. Firefighters ensured the car wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flip during the rescue operation by bracing it with supports and tying it to a nearby tree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows us to be able to safely access the patients,â&#x20AC;? said fire department spokesman Capt. Marc Messier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to assume that patients would have spinal and back injuries, so the last thing you want to do is move the car while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still people in it because you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what else could happen.â&#x20AC;? Fire crews painstakingly used hydraulic spreaders and
other specialized tools to rescue the trapped driver. Trottier said all three men were wearing their seatbelts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all extremely lucky,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our paramedics pulled up they thought there was at least one fatality there for sure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less protection in a convertible as well,â&#x20AC;? Trottier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know why the injuries werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more serious than they were.â&#x20AC;? The Ottawa police confirmed they responded to the crash, but said their collision investigation unit is not investigating as the injuries were deemed non-life threatening.

Young fashion designer reaches partners with local charity Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A small east-end charity has reached new heights by helping produce and manufacture its first high-end fashion line. Located on McArthur Avenue at Heartwood House, Eco Equitable is a charitable, environment-friendly organization which teaches new immigrants how to sew, create businesses and what it’s like to mass produce for local clients. The organization gets all of its supplies through donations from the community. Up until this spring, the organization has produced shopping bags and gift bags for clients in the city as well as some clothing lines, but it wasn’t until 19-year-old Julien Boissonnault walked into their office with a different kind of request. The young University of Ottawa student approached Eco Equitable with high-end designs of dresses and skirts as well as fabric he purchased
in Montreal with the request to turn his ideas into a reality. Boissonnault said he went to the organization on the advice of a friend and has been really pleased with the results. “It was crazy to see that just in a month the idea went from something I was dreaming about that became real,” Boissonnault said. He added he liked the idea of hiring a local production company because it’s important to him to keep the manufacturing of his first fashion line a local endeavour. Boissonnault’s website juliengeorge.com is also locally made by Shopify, an e-commerce website platform company. “It was critical for me that everything is done locally,” he said. This is not the first time the organization has worked with local companies to manufacture products, but according to executive director Anouk Bertner, this is the first time they have worked on creating something like this. “It’s so professional,” Bert-
ner said. “We do this on a regular basis, we do contracts and every once and awhile we will do a fashion line but this is the first one we have done as a high-fashion line.” Bertner said the organization was honoured to work on the line with Boissonnault. Boissonnault said he narrowed down his 100 designs and sketches to five for the project. “It was really hard to decide, but I am happy with the ones I picked,” he said. The designs are simple, with inspiration coming from the Hamptons, the popular seaside town in New York, as well as Italian culture with soft, pink, orange and green colours. “I wanted something that you could wear on a cruise or a chic beach party,” Boissonnault said. The dresses are all available as custom orders, Boissonnault said. “I just want everyone to have that feeling when something fits perfectly,” he said. The young entrepreneur has

The young fashion designer worked with Heartwood House’s Eco Equitable to turn his designs into a reality. worked in Ottawa’s fashion industry but said this was his first attempt at creating something on his own. Boissonnault added he would love if the fashion line took off and became some-
thing he could do full time. Since the launch of his website and fashion line he has received some requests for the dresses as well as requests for his participation in upcoming
fashion shows this fall. For more information about Boissonnault’s line contact him at juliengeorge.com. For more information about Eco Equitable visit ecoequitable.ca.

Tools for schools charity gets 500 backpacks Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The Caring and Sharing Exchange is now better equipped to deal with the rising demand for school supplies thanks to a donation from Giant Tiger on Aug. 6. The retail giant gifted the charity 500 backpacks filled with paper, pencils, books and other items on school lists around the capital. Megan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara, the communications spokesperson for the charity, said this is the second year Giant Tiger has donated 500 backpacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was an increase from the first year when they donated 100,â&#x20AC;? she said. If last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers are any indication, those supplies will be needed. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said the charity
handed out 1,292 backpacks last year and she expects there will be more needed in 2014. By Aug. 6 there had already been 1,196 given out, with more than a week to go until the close of registration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We grew by 150 applications in one day,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said. In addition to providing backpacks stuffed with school supplies for families in need, the exchange also maintains a list of each application for a Tools For Schools kit that includes which local charities offer the same service to reduce duplication. The exchange starts collecting school supplies and monetary donations at libraries starting in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start at the close of the last school year, when people feel comfortable talking about school supplies for the next year,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said the backpacks are divided into kindergarten, grades 1 to 3 and grades 4 to 8.

News - When Carla E. Mejia Lema arrived in Canada eight years ago she was ready and willing to learn all there is to know about this country. Her journey to Ottawa came shortly after she visited the city during Winterlude, took one look at the Parliament buildings and fell in love. “I said out loud, one day, I am going to work there. I don’t care if it’s washing the floors, I am going to work there,” she said. The Columbian said people around her told her she was crazy but she didn’t let that stop her. Mejia Lema works as MP Mauril Belanger’s constituency assistant and says she loves every minute of it. She describes herself as feisty and strong and it was these two characteristics that helped change the lives of many more Latin immigrants in Ottawa. Determined to give all Latin people who live in the city a chance to have a space to meet, speak in their own language and learn what it’s like to live in Canada — Mejia Lema created the Immediate Latino Care Centre (CAIL) to give Latin people a space to call their own. Mejia Lema and fellow Latin friends met with their MP Mauril Belanger and asked for space for the centre. According to Mejia Lema, the MP reached out to the Vanier Community Service Centre’s director, Michel Gervais to see if there was an opportunity for the group to host meetings and workshops there. The centre happily obliged. “It’s a small community centre operating out of the service centre,” Gervais said. “It’s a great group, and they are doing great things for the Latin community.” According to Mejia Lema there are close to 22,000 Latin people living in the National Capital Region. Since its inception in 2012, the volunteer group has hosted a number of workshops and classes — everything from English classes and English pronunciation, taxes, mortgages, learn-
ing the financial system, how to get a job in Canada and self esteem. They offer general information about immigration and the organization also offers free Spanish classes. “This is a place where we can be ourselves and express our needs,” Mejia Lema said. Mejia Lema runs the community centre with her friends on the side, saying it’s a labour of love. And interest is growing, slowly; the organization said it would like the word to get out to all Latinas living in Ottawa. “We are so small it’s really hard to get the word out,” she said. “But the goal is to let

everyone know what we do and offer for the community. I think it’s important for all Latin people to know about everything that Canada provides.” All the classes and workshops offered are free, with all the teachers volunteering their time. “For us it’s difficult to expand because we are all volunteers,” she said. “We have to work to make a living, but when we give the service to the community, when we see that they are happy, it’s worth it and we want to do more.” The organization will launch its fall programming beginning Sept. 13. Registration is now open, and to sign up for a class or to learn more about the centre email Mejia Lema at cailatinocanada@gmail.com.

Change Byward Market system: artisans Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Mayor Jim Watson was already hearing from concerned residents a day before he officially launched his re-election campaign. Artisans at the Art in Strathcona Park event on Aug. 9 took his casual stop-in as an opportunity to fight for change in the Byward Market. “People used to come because it was so unique,” said jewelry maker Lisa Wilson, who said she joined the Byward Market Standholders Association to try and change the system. “Now we don’t get Ottawa people coming because most of the stuff comes out of containers.” The peak market season between May and the end of August separates arts and crafts importers from artisans, with handmade arts and crafts located around the market building and importers on York Street. But between the
Tuesday after Labour Day to the first Monday in November, all categories of arts and crafts vendors are mixed together. Every day at 9 a.m., vendors take part in a daily lottery to be assigned a stand, meaning vendors selling handmade items can end up beside vendors selling inexpensive, imported goods from other countries. “It’s not a local market anymore,” Wilson said. “We can’t compete.” She said she’d like the city and the market association to change the system so that local artisans are grouped together in one section, and the importers are grouped in another for the entire market season. She was backed up by candle maker Bruce Langer and fashion designer Elena Jones, who were also selling their wares in Strathcona that day. Jones is still a Byward Market vendor, as is Wilson, but Langer said he gave up
several years ago because the market no longer attracts serious shoppers. “All the genuine artisan shoppers aren’t shopping there anymore,” Langer said. Watson said it was the first time he’d heard such concerns. He asked the artists to send him a list of ideas, but he was hesitant to promise quick change. “You’ll never have unanimity in the market,” he said. “I’ve heard from one position and I’ll go back and see if there are fundamental challenges we can overcome.” Watson added that part of the issue is an influx of new markets across the city and region, which has diluted the concentration of market-goers. The market is city-operated, and governed by a by-law put in place in 2009. Established by Col. John By in 1826, the market is one of Canada’s oldest public markets.

Second annual Penny Palooza to raise money for breast cancer michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Manor Park’s rocking festival Penny Palooza is back and it aims to be bigger and better this year to help raise more money for breast cancer. Penny Palooza will take over Manor Park Public School’s field on Aug. 23 with five band performances and family-fun activities to help raise money for the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre. The event was created last year by Manor Park resident Peter Steele, who was looking for a way to raise money for the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre, where his neighbour and long-time friend, Penny Thompson, had been receiving treatment since being diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2012. Thompson is now in remission. Steel said this year the fundraiser will be about promoting and drawing attention to the success of the treatments at the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre. “What always amazed me about Penny (Thompson) was that she never missed a beat,” Steele said. “She never stopped and is a great model for positive attitude. This will draw attention to the success of her treatments.”
Penny Thompson said she is honoured to have her name attached to the event and wants everyone to know how important the Breast Health Centre is for cancer patients. “They trust in the instinct of the patient,” Thompson said. “They see you when an emergency happens and accepts what the patient has to say. Really, the whole centre is about action.” Thompson added that receiving cancer treatments can be incredibly difficult and at times, it was hard to find the motivation to get out of bed, but after completing a year of treatment and recovery, Thompson also wanted to reach out to fellow cancer patients who may be just starting their journey or having a rough time. “If I can say anything to people who have cancer it’s respect your emotions,” Thompson said. “It’s important to acknowledge what is happening to you, give in, to a point, and then continue to live. If you stop living then the cancer’s got you.” That is why, Thompson added, donating to a centre like the Breast Health Centre is so important. “Their programs run on donations, if people weren’t donating there wouldn’t be any programs.”

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND
Penny Palooza, named in honour of Penny Thompson, a breast cancer survivor, is a fundraiser for the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre that will take place on Aug. 23 in Manor Park. The event aims to raise thousands for the centre. Last year the event raised $10,500 for the centre. Steele said he would like to double that amount. The community has once again come together to help organize the Aug. 23 event. Local barber, Kelly’s Barber Shop, will offer people the chance to have crazy hairdos. A food truck, Fitz’s Catering, will provide food for the event, with 20 per cent of the proceeds being donated to the foundation. There will be face painting, makeovers and a photo booth at the festival. There will also be a silent auction, which Steele said many local
businesses have donated for the auction. Steele has lined up five local bands, including the Hornettes, who have all volunteered their time to play throughout the evening. Steele said he is hoping the wellknown bands will draw people from across the city to attend the community fundraiser and support the cause. “The challenge is to grow it beyond Manor Park,” Steele said. Thompson said she loves that Penny Palooza is all about celebrating music. “Music is such a part of my life,” Thompson said. “It’s good for the
soul; it can heal you and inspire you.” Thompson added that she is really looking forward to the festival this year. “From start to finish, I will be dancing,” Thompson said.

News - A Carp resident is calling on the city to clean up encroaching greenery on Salisbury Street after a bylaw was passed allowing the construction of 15 townhomes last month. Nhanci Wright said the city didn’t listen to the concerns of the community about developing high density housing on a street with limited access. “I am disappointed to see that this bylaw was passed by Ottawa council, though certainly not surprised,” she wrote in an email. “The fact that the so-called rural affairs committee held its meeting on this issue during business hours on a weekday in downtown Ottawa is proof of that. And as I understand, staff didn’t bother with a site visit to assess the situation first-hand.” She added that if the city is going to go ahead with its plans to build three-blocks of townhomes – broken into two groups of four and one of seven – it will need cut back the shrubbery along the road, including tall grasses, a cedar hedge she said is “impossible to see oncoming traffic coming” at the corner of Salisbury and Deugo streets, and remove an old basketball net located on a curve in the road. “If (city staff) insist on forging ahead to create high density housing on a street with limited access, the very least you can do for the safety of the residents is to make some improvements to that street,” said Wright. “We will also need a no parking
the northeast corner of Salisbury and Deugo streets to request its maintenance. She should also speak to her neighbours to determine the ownership of the basketball net in the gravel shoulder and request its removal if it is impeding traffic or visibility,” said Garbos. She added that Write would have to contact the city’s traffic operations unit to request a study – “to conduct analysis and determine whether such a designation is warranted” – for no parking zones on Salisbury. “Interesting that everything is somehow my responsibility. I don’t expect to stop the townhouses from going ahead, but I do expect the city to look after the safety of its streets,” said Wright. “It won’t be my responsibility when an accident happens because the city has allowed the conditions on the street to deteriorate.” To see the development application, visit ottawa.ca/devapps.

NHL family encourages heroics on and off the ice New children’s book to launch in October emma.jackson@metroland.com
.COM
Arts - Everyone can be a hero. That’s the message in a new children’s book developed by a pair of Winchester-area sisters, who used their experience in NHL hockey arenas to create a young hockey hero who learns important values like family, community service and physical activity. Sisters Kary Carkner and Pam Helmer – married, respectively, to New York Islander Matt Carkner and former Phoenix Coyotes defence-
man Bryan Helmer – were inspired to write their book after their own hero, their dad, died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 58 about six years ago. Looking for a way to speak to their families about what happened, they started writing short stories about their grief, which they eventually submitted to publishers. But publishers weren’t interested in sad stories, and in December of last year the sisters took another route: writing about the values that make them happy. “We share a love of hockey and of Christmas time, and we wanted

to find a children’s book that had to do with Christmas and hockey and Santa, and we couldn’t find it,” Helmer said. They decided to write one themselves. Soon, their young character Hero had taken on a life of his own – a life that will hit the stores sometime in October. “We hope there will be a series and we’re hoping to see it go in so many directions,” Helmer said. “There are a lot of different ideas inside our theme and our character.” Through his adventures, Hero will help parents and children discover the joys of being active, as well as enable them to find the heroes in their families, their neighbourhood, and the world around them, they said. In the inaugural book, Hero has a fight with his family and says hurtful things to them before drifting off into dreamland to an adventure at the North Pole. Up north, Hero becomes the superstar in an unforgettable hockey game with Santa and his elves – but he can’t celebrate the victory with his family. He realizes how important they are just in time to discover that he may not be dreaming after all. The authors said Hero’s adven-

tures are meant to encourage kids to be heroes themselves – whether it’s as simple as helping a fellow student carry his books, or one day becoming a firefighter to save lives. “It’s family, friends, helping others, helping the less fortunate. Being a good person and doing a good thing,” Helmer explained. “You only hear sad things and bad things in the news and we want our kids to realize the good things in life, too.” Their own children already have some experience with those values, as both families have been involved in community events and charitable programs through their hockey organizations. Both the Helmer and Carkner families have been involved in the Carkinator Moto Rally in support of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital – the event is even named after Kary’s husband, New York Islander Matt Carkner, who hosts the event every July. “What our husbands do has a big impact on the story,” said Carkner. “Both of them help with young guys on the team, and help with charities.

They said it’s already had a positive impact on their own family. “We are both co-writing and it’s so much fun,” said Helmer, who added the process has been a healing one for both sisters. “I couldn’t even talk about (my father’s death) before, but since being able to do this and the steps we’ve had to take to put together the website, to look at pictures, to talk about it with other people, it really has helped me.” Carkner said the two sisters have always been close, but their bond has reached new heights. “Don’t laugh, but now we sometimes talk 25 times a day,” she said. “We’ve just been able to crack jokes and it’s a little lighter than it used to be.” Hero the Hero is available for preorder at herothehero.com.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!
News - Another last-minute closure of a pathway used by commuters in Old Ottawa East has residents frustrated with Rideau Transit Group. The company, which is constructing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.3-billion light-rail line, recently sent out notices about upcoming closures of the east and west Rideau River pathways for up to six weeks. The closures have been happening throughout the past yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; long after residents were told the path would presently reopen in May of 2013. Old Ottawa East Community Association president John Dance said residents are becoming increasingly frustrated about the frequent and often unannounced path closures. Cycling is how a lot of people get around the downtown neighbourhood, he said, and the surprise blockages hamper their ability to cycle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially with the closure of the Lees Avenue bridge, which will been closed for 13 weeks, reopening Sept. 15. The pathways have been closed at least five times since residents were told they would reopen in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just very inconsiderate to the cyclists,â&#x20AC;? Dance said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we originally saw (the MTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pathway closure information), we thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the price we pay,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just gotten worse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite discouraging.â&#x20AC;? It turns out thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the original pathway closure information related to the Ministry of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widening of Highway 417, after which the pathways did reopen in 2012. The more recent barricades are due to a separate project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rideau Transit Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on the Hurdman Bridge, according to Steve Cripps, director of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail implementation office. The city did not immediately respond to a request for information about how it informed residents of the continuing closures following the completion of the MTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-

way work. The two construction projects are being done in conjunction to provide an alternate route for buses on the highway while the Transitway is closed as it is converted for light rail. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first time residents have been left confused by Rideau Transit Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to communicating information about the project. This spring, city councillors including Alta Vista Coun. Pete Hume slammed the transit contractor after residents of Eastway Gardens, near the Belfast Road train yard thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under construction, said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting timely information about major road closures in their area. The current work involves work on the Hurdman Bridge, including the demolition of the bridge deck, installation of girders and abutments using mechanical breakers, as well as the use of saw cutters and use of a gantry crane, Cripps said. The work demanded the west side of the Rideau River pathway close around Aug. 11 for four to six weeks. Cyclists are being advised to cross into Sandy Hill using Greenfield Avenue and take Lees and Robinson avenues to get back onto the path system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a four-kilometre detour. Pedestrians can take a shorter detour by walking along the Transitway sidewalks from Lees Station to reach the other side of Lees Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate is that these detours are really long,â&#x20AC;? Dance said. Not only do cyclists have to travel much farther, but throughout 2013, they had no way of knowing whether the pathway would be closed until they got there. During previous path closures, cyclists have been advised to use Vanier Parkway as a detour, said Bonnie Weppler, an Old Ottawa East resident who cycles to work in Overbrook around nine months of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only someone who is suicidal would choose to cycle on the Vanier Parkway at morning or evening rush hour (anytime, really),â&#x20AC;? she wrote in an email. The pathway on the east side of the river will also close for four to six weeks beginning in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the pathways re-open there may also be intermittent closures while work continues but flaggers will be on site to direct any traffic,â&#x20AC;? Cripps wrote in an email.

Team cycles coast to coast for clean water jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - It started with a decadeslong dream to cycle across Canada. Rob Montgomery, Mike Woodard, Timo Itkonen, and Richard Blaschek, rolled through Arnprior and much of Ottawa on Aug. 1 – Day 32 of their cross-country ride. The dream has grown to become a fund and awareness-raiser for GAiN (Global Aid Network) and the Water For Life program, which drills wells and trains people in African communities to care for the water systems. “I’ve had a dream for many decades about cycling across Canada,” said Montgomery. Two years ago, that dream started to become a reality as he recruited the other cyclists. “Mike said to me, ‘If we do it, we need to do it for a cause.’ “There’s a statistic that the World Health Organization shares that really gripped both mine and Mike’s heart: every 21 seconds a child dies because of water-borne disease,” said Montgomery. “It’s preventable if we can give them clean drinking water.” The four men – accompanied by Jacquie Blaschek in the support vehicle – make up the Cycling 4 Water team. They’re on a mission to raise $510,000 for 60 wells to represent the cyclists’ 60-plus years; Montgomery and Woodard will both turn 60 during the ride, while Itkonen just celebrated his 63rd birthday. The Water For Life program not only drills the wells but it trains a committee to collect a small fee, about one cent a day, for access to the water. The money charged pays for repairs and is reinvested in the communities, said Montgomery.
“Their first responsibility is to make sure the wells are repaired,” he said. “They’re trained and held accountable … to reinvest in the community. A lot of communities, when they have a well for a number of years, have been able to build schools, health clinics, communal or community gardens.” A community well in Tanzania that serves three villages, has built a clinic, a school, and established a fish farm to supply the entire region. “It makes a huge difference for every community,” said Montgomery, who was recovering from a high-speed fall off his bicycle. He had to take a small break from cycling but with the help of a physiotherapist he’s been getting back on his bike for stretches at a time. He led the group out of Ottawa on Aug. 4. CANADIANS ARE WONDERFUL
The group kicked off on June 30 in Vancouver, B.C. and have covered more than half the distance of the 8,000-kilometre total to their final destination in St. John’s, Newfoundland, which they are on track to reach by Aug. 23. To date, JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND they’ve raised enough money for Rob Montgomery, Mike Woodard, Timo Itkonen, and Richard Blaschek, rode through Arnprior and other 24 wells. “We’ve gotten to more than half- parts of Ottawa on Aug. 1 on the 32 day of their cross-country ride to raise funds and awareness about a way across the country and we have Water For Life program.. more than halfway to go in our goal of 60 wells.

Emerson’s experiment turned out to be a blast MARY COOK Memories little building upright. Even the rain barrel at the corner of the house sat on a big flat rock. My sister Audrey and I wanted no part of the blasting. But my three brothers, far more adventurous, couldn’t wait to join Father when he let it be known that he was about to blast something out, be it stumps or stones. Even though they knew exactly how it was done, Father alone was the only one to touch the dynamite. And then one day, a hot
was Emerson, smart enough to be well away from the scene of the crime, with his face covered with ash, and two dead hens beside him. They had been hit head on. What was left of the outhouse, lay on its side, with the two holes pointing westward, and the big stone beside it smashed to smithereens. Apart from the loss of two hens, which Mother soon decided would be our supper that night; Mother was amazingly unfazed by the turn of events. She hated the outhouse with a passion, and had long since said she was going to have Old Herman, an authority on outhouses, build a new one as soon as she could afford the new lumber. Until
that happened, the two holes alone would be up-righted, and would have to do as an outhouse. Fortunately, they were well hidden in a cluster of cedar trees. Father was harder to deal with. Apart from the danger, a point he barely touched on, he lamented on the loss of the two sticks of dynamite that had been wasted on a building that had served the Haneman family for three generations.

the ground, heap what was left of them onto the stone boat, and get rid of them wherever Father saw fit. It seemed to me there were stones everywhere on that farm. Some were deep and flat and close to the house, and on these I could play “Jacks,” and I hoped Father would never put the dynamite to them. There were also loose stones, much bigger ones, around the outhouse. Some right against it by nature, and others piled there to keep the
summer afternoon it was, Emerson took it upon himself to test his ability as a blaster. Unknown to Father of course, or Mother for that matter, Emerson decided to try his luck at blasting one of the big stones sitting against the outhouse, unknown to anyone, of course. The first hint we had was when there was an ungodly bang, and Mother peeling potatoes in the summer kitchen, with me beside her, barely missed being hit on the head with a piece of rock the size of fry pan that came through the back window, sailed past her head and settled against the wood box by the Findlay Oval. Our feet barely hit the floor as we tore outside to see what had happened. Well, there

t seemed to me back then, Father, whenever he wasn’t working the fields, was either mending fences or blowing up stones or stumps. Three generations of Hanemans had tried, with only moderate success, to clear all the land that ran like a narrow ribbon from the Northcote Side Road, across the creek and the Bonnechere, and then to the backfields. There seemed to be boulders everywhere. And stumps, still deep in the ground, where trees had been felled, with their roots left to begin new growth. And so Father, when time permitted, would perform what Mother called “pioneering,” whatever that meant. Father would take dynamite and uproot stumps which would then serve as fencing, piled in rows to separate fields. Or he would blow up stones, imbedded deep in

Garlic, volunteers pack a punch Silver Spring Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual crop almost ready for sale Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
News - You can smell the garlic being harvested even before you see the field. At a distance of about 50 metres, the scent is unmistakeable. Silver Spring Farm volunteers turned out in large numbers to pick this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 46,000 garlic bulbs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on July 28. Sales of the bulbs are expected to start this weekend at the farm, located at the corner of Richmond and Baseline roads. The proceeds help fund the work of the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities. The vast majority of those harvesting this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop came from local Mormon churches, and others were friends and family of people served by the association.
Association members get their hands dirty every October, when about a quarter of all the garlic grown is broken down into individual cloves that are planted for the following year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody does their bit,â&#x20AC;? said Bernie Murphy, a longtime volunteer who spent July 28 preparing a barn for the arrival of the massive harvest. The garlic bulbs are dried, cleaned and graded in the barn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a process that takes about 10 days. The best of the crop is braided. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silver Spring garlic is a little behind schedule due to iffy weather, and the bulbs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like most across the region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are a little smaller than those stemming from ideal springs and summers. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the bulbs are any easier to harvest. It takes a decent tug to get a bulb to emerge into daylight.
Among the 80-plus volunteers expected to clear the field by dusk on July 28 were Rebecca and Dan Whelan of Barrhaven, and their two young sons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our third year,â&#x20AC;? Rebecca said of the work at Silver Spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids love it.â&#x20AC;? Dan added that they encourage their sons to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do something good for other people.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it for a good cause,â&#x20AC;? he said. Volunteers give more than 4,000 hours each year to the garlic project. They come from across the city and many are members of: â&#x20AC;˘ The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints â&#x20AC;˘ Sir Guy Carleton High School â&#x20AC;˘ Genband â&#x20AC;˘ Algonquin College â&#x20AC;˘ Health Canada â&#x20AC;˘ Deloitte Canada â&#x20AC;˘ Henschel Business Services Sales at the farm were expected to begin Aug. 14.

Valley Stream community to host yoga in fall Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The Valley Stream Community Association hosts Yoga at the Park every Thursday until the fall. The weekly yoga sessions are led by Valley Stream resident Sandra Burelli, who runs Ottawa Office Yoga. Valley Stream Community Association hosts yoga in the park Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com News - Valley Stream residents have a chance to get out
and enjoy yoga in the local park thanks to the community association. The classes – which now boast more than a dozen – happen at Valley Stream East Park on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. Sandra Burelli, who leads the classes, said she gauges the newcomers every week to see what their level of experience is before starting the routine. “We’ve had really great turnout,” she said. Despite the outdoor setting, the weekly sessions offer a calm setting because the park
is shielded from street noise. The community association subsidizes the classes – offering them for $5 to community association members and $10 to non-members. Right now there are sessions planned each Thursday until Aug. 28 – later dates for the fall will be determined. Burelli runs Ottawa Office Yoga, which is mobile and brings the sessions to participants. She said it’s a great way of carving out some calm time during a lunch break. Other community sessions and information can be found at www.ottawaofficeyoga.ca.

Ottawa fire services use a rescue boat to bring to safety a 35-year-old fisherman stranded on the rocks at the Galetta hydro dam spillway on Aug. 5.

Angler stranded at Galetta hydro dam Staff
News - Ottawa fire services rescued a 35-yearold fisherman stranded on rocks on the spillway below the Galetta hydro dam on Aug. 5. The man had been fishing under the hydro facility, about 31 metres from shore, when he became trapped due to the rapidly moving water, said fire spokesman Marc Messier in a news release.
After receiving the call at 12:12 p.m., the water rescue unit attended and paddled an inflatable boat out to the man shortly and returned him to shore. The man was uninjured. Ontario Power Generation frequently issues public warnings that water levels downstream from its dams can change rapidly because of sudden discharges.

West Ottawa centre book walks encourage family reading Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - A local author’s book was brought outdoors for a family book walk event that aims to keep literacy alive. The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre held a book walk at Walter Baker Park on Aug. 8 for the first time since beginning the reading events in 2013. The event, meant to get families outdoors and read-
ing together, puts the pages of a children’s book on posters hanging on trees. Children and their families go from tree to tree pausing to read sections of the book, and are prompted to search for animals, pine cones and other natural objects. They are also encouraged to act out parts of the book, bringing the reading experience alive, said Joceline Jaillet, an organizer of the event through the Ontario Early Years Centre.
“We want to encourage literacy and we also want to encourage family time,” said Jaillet of the free event. “(The walk) is to let kids know that reading doesn’t just have to be before bed time, it can be any time and it can be found anywhere,” she said. The walk also gives families a chance to explore walking tails they may never have visited before, with past events having taken place at the Old Quarry Trail, and holding their first event at
Walter Baker Park where more than 30 people attended. The book chosen for the latest walk was “Konrad, I Will Find You” by Kanata author Jennifer Perlin. The book was particularly suited to the walk, as it depicts Konrad’s imaginary adventures across Canada’s wilderness and beyond. The book is about the anxiety of starting school, and attempts to assure kids that their parents will always be able to
find them even when they are dealing with a new environment, said Perlin in a previous interview with the Kourier-Standard. The book is available in both French and English, meaning the book walk could include both French and English families together, instead of holding two separate walks with two different books. “It’s great to be here and watching the kids enjoy it,” said Perlin, who was signing books at the walk.
“I’ve never heard of the walk before,” she said. “It’s a great idea.” This is the second summer the book walks have been held, and organizers are hoping to hold another walk in the fall.
