News - Residents are in-vited to share their thoughts as the final planning stages for the Greenbank Road re-alignment project are nearly finished.

MMM Group has com-

pleted its environmental study for the area on behalf of the city of Ottawa, and the report will be available for comment until Aug. 5.

The study area is bordered by Cedarview Drive to the west, Greenbank Road to the east, Cambrian Road to the north and Barnsdale Road to

the south.The project has been on

the table since 2006, when a plan was approved to re-align Greenbank and extend the southwest transitway at Cambrian as part of the Bar-rhaven South community design plan.

Six years later, the proj-

ect expanded to include the planned urban boundary extension to Barnsdale near Manotick.

“This study was carried out in response to the need to serve these fast-growing communities and provide appropriate corridor pro-tection to ensure the long-term continuity of the city’s transportation network,” said MMM’s executive summary of the environmental study released July 4.

The summary said the project “is not expected to result in negative environ-mental impacts,” and “de-sign and construction miti-gation measures have been proposed to minimize or eliminate negative effects on the natural, socio-economic, and cultural environments.”

The plan includes:• Extending realigned

Greenbank as a four-lane divided arterial from Cam-brian to a signalized inter-

section with Barnsdale;• Extending the southwest

transitway from Cambrian to a terminal station and 400-space park and ride lot;

• Adding cycling facilities along Barnsdale between re-aligned Greenbank and ex-isting Greenbank;

• Signalizing the Green-bank/Barnsdale intersec-tion;

• Modifying the Green-bank/Prince of Wales Drive intersection to address exist-ing operational issues;

• Replacing the Prince of Wales/Bankfield Road inter-section with a two-lane, 4-legged roundabout; and

• Connecting First Line Road and a new three-legged roundabout on Prince of Wales south of Bankfield.

According to MMM Group planner Emily Sang-ster, “if no objections are received by the Minister of the Environment within the 30-day public review pe-

riod, the EA is considered complete and the project can proceed towards detailed de-sign and construction,” she said in an email.

“The timing of these next steps has not been deter-mined, though, and will de-pend on City priorities and funding availability.”

The report will be publicly available at the Ben Frank-lin client service centre in Nepean, the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library downtown and the Ruth E. Dickinson library branch in Barrhaven.

The Morisset Library at the University of Ottawa and the MacOdrum Library at Carleton University will also carry copies of the re-port.

The study is also available at ottawa.ca/greenbankroad.

Comments can be sent to city planner Frank McKin-ney at [email protected] until Aug. 5.

Greenbank realignment study open for feedback

It was just last year that city council agreed to put a limit on how much taxpayer money from their office bud-gets they can hand out to community causes.

The limit is now 3.5 per cent of the budget, amount-ing to $7,748 a year.

“This has been done by other councillors, if there is a specific cause that you want to give money to,” Thomp-son said.

“I just want to say, if you check back over the 13 and a half years I’ve been here, I’ve given back over $1 mil-lion from my budget to the city.

“So to ask to go over the limit for a cause in Osgoode Ward, the Osgoode Youth Association, which the city recreation people won’t sup-port, I think is justifiable.”

The centre lost its annual $30,000 grant from the Unit-ed Way two years ago and has run through its savings,

said OYA’s director, Nicole McKerracher.

Thompson said OYA has a shortfall of about $35,000 this year and he’ll be work-ing with the city’s manager of recreation, Dan Chenier, to see if his budget can in-clude funds for the youth centre.

Otherwise, Thompson might ask to dip into the city’s fund for unforseen ex-penses.

But McKerracher said Thompson is helping the as-sociation negotiate a $60,000 annual contribution from the city.

The city already contrib-utes almost $11,000, mostly towards costs associated with the building, but McKerrach-er said it makes sense for the city to pony up a larger share of the centre’s costs.

It would be cheaper for the association to provide youth services on behalf of the city, rather than create city-run programs, she said.

“The city doesn’t provide

any services for youth in Os-goode,” she said. “It creates a real challenge for them, a real sense of isolation.”

Thompson said he’d like to see OYA find ways to be more financially sustainable.

“We have to have a plan in place so they don’t have to come back year after year,” Thompson said.

OYA runs two fundrais-ers every year and is also seeking corporate sponsors, McKerracher said.

The centre served 762 youth last year. OYA’s drop-in programs can see any-where from three to 30 youth come to the centre on any given evening and many of them are regulars, McKer-racher said.

Thompson had originally intended to ask for the spend-ing exemption to apply to all retiring councillors, but after discussing it with staff in the mayor’s office and city offi-cials he is withdrawing that and will focus his efforts on OYA alone.

News - Several new pro-grams will aim to slow down drivers and keep pedestrians safe in the village this fall.

The Manotick Village Com-munity Association has been working with the city to kick start its Keep it to 40 campaign, a community-led initiative to encourage drivers to drive 40

kilometres per hour on village streets.

Starting this fall, the city has agreed to install two ‘Slow Down’ signs at entrances to the Potter Drive community.

“They loan out these signs to communities for two years, and they usually put them up in conjunction with a large 40 km/h sign,” said association presi-dent Klaus Beltzner. After two years, the signs will be moved

to another part of the communi-ty where speeding is a problem, like Long Island Drive.

Potter Road is the priority this fall. A speed board moni-tor posted for eastbound traffi c over a 10-day period in October 2011 clocked one driver at 110 km/h – more than 70 over the limit – and 88 per cent of driv-ers went over 40 km/h during the study.

The city’s Safe Streets pro-

gram will also supply a number of lawn signs which encourage drivers to ‘Slow Down For Us’ –“us” being village children.

Beltzner said the community campaign will alternate the Safe Street signs with its own Keep it to 40 lawn signs.

The community association will foot the bill for theirlawn signs, as well as other materials like bumper magnets and pam-phlets.

While it’s not yet clear if the city can kick in some extra cash for the program, Rideau-Goul-bourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said there are options.

“If they need more funding, we’ll see what we can do,” he said, noting the money could come from the city’s traffi c de-partment through a cost-shar-ing agreement, or through the councillor’s own offi ce.

For Moffatt, speeding is one

of the top priorities in his ward. “There’s a speeding issue

wherever you go,” he said. “It’s really hard to get people to drive slowly, and the reality is you’re targeting the people who live there.”

Beltzner agreed that residents are the fi rst line of defence.

The Keep it to 40 campaign has been canvassing neighbour-hoods to spread the message, and people have been respon-sive.

“I have yet to fi nd one person who says, ‘I don’t think this is right’,” Beltzner said.

Published weekly by:

The news that staff had signifi cantly mishan-dled the city’s contract to manage organic waste with Orgaworld was met with disap-pointment by senior managers and members

of council alike.As it should be. This council has a track record of

fair handling of the city’s fi nances. Signifi cant sums have been spent, but little of it in anything approach-ing a wasteful manner, mainly on large infrastructure projects that need to be completed sooner or later.

On Orgaworld, however, those councillors and city staff who remain from last term when the deal was approved have left a trail of mismanagement and poor decision making. The fi ndings of a report re-leased last week by the city’s auditor general indicate that the current deal with Orgaworld has wasted more than $7 million since the start of the contract thanks to unused capacity and excessive processing costs. It will cost millions more over the life of the 20-year contract, and as much as $10 million to cancel the deal early, if the city chooses to do so.

According to the auditor’s report, city staff are

to blame for the bungled contract – none of the expected research and analysis was done ahead of the matter going before council, the report says. But does this mean that the city’s management, especially city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who has served in that position for more than 10 years, should be absolved of any responsibility in the matter? Should those who voted to approve the deal?

Of course not. While the likes of Kirkpatrick have accepted some level of responsibility for this debacle, residents should be angry. Under what circumstances should any decision be made without the appropriate information available to back that decision? River Coun. Maria McRae, now chairwoman of the envi-ronment committee, asked for that information yet never received it. That’s when questions should’ve been asked. Kirkpatrick told council the possibility of this situation repeating itself “has been removed” through protocol changes, but this failure should’ve been evident to anyone paying attention at the time.

Voters would do well to consider these revelations come election time in October.

The full effect of the Lansd-owne Park redevelopment won’t be felt until next year, when the residents of new

condo developments move in. We’ll know something about the new shops and their impact on the Glebe when they open in the fall. It’s always pos-sible everything will be as great as promoters of the project have said.

Meanwhile, there is football, and this will be one of the most intrigu-ing effects of all. The fi rst home game for the new Ottawa RedBlacks is July 18. Can football make a comeback?

Early indications are good: the fi rst game is sold out. Further, the team has looked, in its early games, as if it belongs in the league. This won’t be some inexperienced push-

over. A win in that fi rst home game will spur ticket sales for the next.

Ottawa, it goes without saying, has a proud history in the Canadian Football League. There are great memories, as well as Grey Cups, as-sociated with the Rough Riders. The team was an important part of the life of the city and it would be great if it could become that again.

That’s the optimistic view and it conveniently overlooks how badly football was supported here in the

last days of the Rough Riders and the brief, unfortunate, life of the Ottawa Renegades.

It’s hard to say whether weak fan support or bad management killed the Rough Riders, which folded in 1996. Whatever the causes, fan support was too weak to save the team. Similarly, fan support was not enough to keep the Renegades alive – a team that began in 2002, lasted four years and never made the playoffs.

When football left Ottawa, both times, some wondered if Ottawa had simply ceased being a CFL kind of town. Maybe not. Maybe it was simply a case of badly run franchises turning off the fans. Maybe a well-run team in a new stadium would bring folks back.

That is certainly possible. But it is also true that this is a different kind of town than it was in the heyday of the Rough Riders. The RedBlacks face competition for people’s atten-tion and ticket dollars from the Ot-tawa Senators and, to a lesser extent, from the Ottawa Fury FC. And then there are all the other distractions, many of them electronic, that didn’t exist back when the Rough Riders dominated the sports pages.

The CFL, meanwhile, has changed too. Players are paid better than they were in the ’60s and ’70s. In the Russ Jackson era, players took jobs in the off-season and were visible in the community. There is greater distance between player and fan. Ottawa fans can be fi ckle, too. It’s hard not to think of the Ottawa Lynx. The Triple-A baseball team was big in the ’90s, until it wasn’t.

Which is not to say it can’t work for the RedBlacks. The hope is that

Ottawans have been starved for CFL football are ready to take it to their hearts. The people behind the team and its new home have done everything they can. Now it’s up to the people of Ottawa, who are full of surprises.

News - If everyone were paid $10 for every step we took, we’d all be rich. That’s exactly what Aileen Lamont hopes to achieve for the All Saints’ Anglican Church in Greely as she walks 800 ki-lometres across France and Spain this summer.

The 60-year-old is follow-ing the ancient ‘Way of St. James’ pilgrimage route to a cathedral in Santiago de Com-postela in Northern Spain, where it’s believed the re-mains of St. James the Great – one of Christ’s 12 apostles – is buried.

Apart from completing a personal spiritual journey, Lamont hopes to raise $8,000 for the church to help fi nance much-needed repairs.

According to member Shir-ley Buchanan, the 125-year-old church on Parkway Road had a leaky roof that had to be repaired this spring as well as ongoing maintenance related to the upkeep of the aging building.

On top of rising costs, the congregation has been steadi-ly shrinking over the last de-cade, which means fewer do-nations.

“Because so many people have left the church we are not getting enough money to pay our bills,” Buchanan said.

Many churches in the area face the same problem, she added.

“We’re trying to keep this church open because we love

this church and we’ve got lots of good memories there.”

Lamont’s walk began at the end of June with a trip from Saint-Jean-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees mountain range to Ronces-valles on the Spanish side.

From there, she began a 780-km pilgrimage to the city of Santiago de Compostela – a walk she planned would take about four weeks. By July 7 she had walked 300 km of the 800.

The route has been one of the most important Chris-tian pilgrimages since the

ninth century, particularly during medieval times, along with routes to Rome and Je-rusalem.

In 1993 it was named a UNESCO world heritage site. Santiago de Compostela’s old town area, which includes the cathedral, was also named a world heritage site in 1985.

Donations can be sent by cheque to All Saints’ Greely church, 7103 Parkway Rd. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $10 or more.

For more information call All Saints’ treasurer Lynda McCuaig at 613-822-0884.

News - He helped nurture the care centre to life, and now it’s sending him off into the sunset.

Staff at the Township of Os-goode Care Centre will host a Fond Farewell retirement din-ner for Osgoode Coun. Doug

Thompson as he hangs up his many silly hats once and for all this fall.

On Sept. 6, friends, family and residents are invited to join Thompson for an evening of dinner, and nostalgia as Thomp-son prepares to leave public of-fi ce in October.

“It’s an opportunity to honour

Doug and his 31 years in poli-tics,” said community outreach manager Wendy Hill, who said current and past politicians who have worked with Thompson over the years will be present, as well as a number of family and friends.

The fundraising dinner has a dual purpose.

“We’re hoping people will be reminded of all Doug has done for our township and ward, as well as recognize the dire need for upgrades at our home,” Hill said. “We’re trying to make it an opportunity for both.”

The 28-year-old care centre is in the middle of a campaign to raise $500,000 for life cycle upgrades and major repairs to the retirement facility on Snake Island Road that 100 residents call home.

Thompson has long been involved in the facility. He was a regional councillor when the building was fi rst constructed – mainly through community-sourced dollars – and he has been a director on the board for 14 years.

Although he wasn’t a politi-cian when the care centre con-cept was born, he was on the council that helped the volun-teer committee acquire land.

“I was part of the council that fully supported them,” Thomp-son said. “It was a big success story for our entire community. For a small township of around 12,000 people to have a 60-bed extended care facility in their community in the early 1980s was unheard of. It’s a real testa-ment to the volunteers and the business people who contrib-uted so much.”

Thompson said he was shocked when Hill approached him with her idea to host a fund-raising dinner in his honour.

“It’s very heartwarming,” Thompson said. “I was taken aback. I said to Wendy, I’m re-ally very honoured but I’m a bit surprised because I should be thanking the people who sup-ported me over the years, not the other way around. It’s very

personally rewarding.”Tickets for the Sept. 6 dinner

at the Greely Community Cen-tre are $75 each, and include a cocktail reception and sit-down dinner catered by the Black Dog Bistro in Manotick. Local rock band Diamond Heart will entertain after dinner.

Hill said guests can also expect a visit from a surprise guest she could only describe as thrilling.

For $1,500, local business can secure a full table of tickets and have their names engraved on a gold-level leaf for the care home’s giving tree, worth $1,000. The businesses would also receive a plaque. Hill said only 10 businesses will be able to take advantage of the offer, so that individuals have a chance to buy tickets as well.

Thompson announced his retirement from politics earlier this year in the lead-up to the

municipal election this October. He has been involved in lo-

cal politics since 1983, fi rst as a councillor in Osgoode Township for 14 years and then as mayor for another three. Throughout that time, he was also teaching elementary school in the Car-leton and Ottawa-Carleton Dis-trict school boards.

After Osgoode Township amalgamated with the City of Ottawa, Thompson was elected as councillor for Osgoode Ward in 2000, which took effect Jan. 1, 2001. He retired from teach-ing that year, and has been a full-time councillor ever since.

Thompson said it’s a little ironic that his fi nal send-off comes from the people who spearheaded his fi rst accom-plishment as a politician.

“What a fi tting way to end my career,” he said.

For information, contact Hill at 613-821-1034 ext 248.

Today it would serve no meaningful pur-pose to a farm that is now used for noth-

ing more than to run cattle and with the house long gone.

But back in the ‘30s, the grape arbour served many pur-poses. I am not sure now if Fa-ther worked the vines to form the arbour, or if they grew that way naturally, although I strongly suspect Mother had asked Father to coax the long vines into shape.

At any rate, natural or oth-erwise, the grape arbour was a high arch of green leaves, completely closed in on the north, east and west sides, with only the south portion facing the old log house open for easy access.

I thought the hollow was enormous, as big as our kitchen it was, and Father and Mother could easily stand up inside it, so it would have had to be at least six feet from ground to the top vines.

As soon as the leaves formed, the hollow was imme-diately turned into an outdoor room.

At the start of the summer the grass inside was thick and green, but after a couple weeks of constant use, the grass shrivelled up and died and left a soft mat of straw in its place.

Mother would move a wash stand into the very back of the cavity, and Audrey and she would take enough dishes out of the kitchen cupboard to stock the wash stand for the season.

A bake table from the sum-mer kitchen was moved out, two benches from the drive shed, and the big wood swing with the double seats helped fi ll the cavity, and the grape arbour was ready for business.We still ate our breakfasts in the house, but unless it was pouring rain, our noon meal

was eaten outside. Father tried to tell Mother using the grape arbour as a dining room added to her work load 10 fold, but Mother always said it was worth the effort.

We carried the food out on trays covered with sparkling white tea towels which re-mained on the steaming bowls and platters all the time we were eating. Heaven forbid that a fl y would come within a country mile of something that was going into our mouths.

It didn’t matter how hot the day, the grape arbour was al-ways cool inside.

The big fl at leaves kept the hot rays from penetrating, and if there was a breeze, they still allowed the air to circulate, so it was a most pleasant place to spend an hour at noon time.

Father, instead of going into the kitchen to the creton couch, as he did every day after his noon hour dinner, would tilt back an old weather-beaten chair against the table and have his mid-day nap, which he seemed to be able to slip into with the greatest of ease inside or outside the house.

When the meal was over, Audrey would bring out the big white granite dish pan fi lled with hot soapy water, and even the clean-up from the meal was done outside.

Sport, our old collie stood at the ready, waiting for what-ever morsel was left on a plate to plop right on the ground -- no need for a dog dish out-side.

On Saturday morning, as a rule, the grape arbour was off limits to everyone but Audrey.

Her best friend Iva Thom would come to visit, after

each had done her chores, and with their embroidery work, or knitting they would head for the old wood two seater swing. I was never allowed to go near them. Mother said they had earned a time of pri-vacy. How I longed to listen in on their grown-up talk about boys and spooning, and kiss-ing and goodness knows what else, subjects which I knew for a fact peppered their talks in the grape arbour.

But they kept their voices low and the big green haven sheltered them from young prying ears and the world out-side.

When I did have the privi-lege of having the grape arbour to myself, I would take my dolls out there, and the space would become my house.

I would rearrange the benches to form rooms, and the table would be the bed,

and I would slip into a world of fantasy to which I alone would have admission.

There were many quiet times spent in the grape ar-bour with Mother. These were private and special times.

She with her sewing bas-ket on the ground beside her chair and me sitting beside her listening to tales of her life in New York before she moved to the farm in Renfrew County, and I would think there was no better place to be in the whole wide world, than in that most secluded of spots, the grape arbour.

News - A night out at Bluesfest had a disappointing end for a local unicyclist who had his unicycle stolen while it was locked up on July 6.

To make matters worse, Max Peabody, a Centretown resident, planned to use it at the Unicycling World Cham-pionships which start July 30 in Montreal.

“It’s just a bummer,” said Peabody. “I was hoping to get a lot of training done this month, and that will be harder to do. A lot of parts are hard to fi nd and you have to get com-fortable riding one specifi c unicycle.”

Peabody said there are not many unicyclists in Ottawa, so the person who stole his bike probably was just on a hunt for bikes of value. He said he wouldn’t normally take his unicycle to Bluesfest, but his regular bike was broken.

He estimated it would be $800 to replace all the parts to rebuild his unicycle. He doesn’t expect his unicycle to be returned.

“I have a lot of friends who have offered me parts,” he said. “The unicycling community is really nice like that.”

He still hopes to compete in two events at the world cham-pionships, where he is en-

tered in the fl at land and street events. The events are mostly acrobatic, and feature riders in trick battles against other rid-ers. He said the street event resembles skateboarding.

Peabody asked anyone with information on his unicycle should call the Ottawa police. The bike is black, well worn, and has white pedals and a white seat post.

News - If you’re a business owner in Greely or Metcalfe, he’s probably already knocked on your door.

He may have already shak-en your hand, handed you a professional-looking pam-phlet and thanked you for your time. He may have al-ready impressed you.

Greely resident Gabriel Dubé, proud owner of the newly-minted Bluemount Films, is one of 67 young en-trepreneurs in Ottawa awarded a $3,000 grant to support his

summer company this spring. The grant comes from the provincial government, but is distributed to local recipients through Invest Ottawa, which has a mandate to promote a healthy business culture across the city.

Province wide, 940 return-ing students aged 15 to 29 received the grant to kick-start their summer businesses, which can range from dog walking and house cleaning to things like video production – a business Dubé hopes will someday become his bread and butter.

“It can be really hard to sur-

vive,” he said. “It’s a passion thing.”

It’s a little easier now, thanks to $1,500 in grant mon-ey Dubé has already spent up-dating his camera equipment, printing pamphlets and build-ing a professional website.

He’ll get another $1,500 at the end of the summer, when he completes the program.

Dubé is now 18, and just graduated from Pierre Sa-vard Catholic High School in Barrhaven. He plans to study mobile application design and development at Algonquin College this fall.

In the meantime, Dubé will spend his summer doing what he loves: making videos.

This passion is fairly new; Dubé spent his high school years editing videos for his video game YouTube chan-nel DigitalXMedia, where he has a following of more than 1,700 fans.

He didn’t start producing his own videos until about two years ago, at the grand opening of the Shoppers Drug Mart in Manotick, where he

worked. Now he has a Canon D60,

which he uses to create afford-able promotional videos for local businesses to use in store and on social media.

“I’m focused on small to medium businesses that can’t compete, that don’t have mil-lions to make commercials,” he said. “When people look for a businesses, they go to Facebook. If you have a video it makes it so much better.”

FUTURE INVESTMENT

Building a healthy entre-preneurial environment can learn a lot from our hockey culture, said Invest Ottawa’s youth business advisor Ma-jeed Mogharreban.

“We’re always top one, two or three in the world (because) we have an infrastructure of coaches and players and rinks to play on. And as soon as kids can walk they’re shown how to skate. By the time they’re in their prime they’ve been do-ing it for 10-plus years,” said Mogharreban.

Creating entrepreneurs works the same way: kids must be exposed to the possi-bility of being an entrepreneur at a young age.

“We’re trying to create a culture of asking questions around ‘how can I do this?’” Mogharreban said. “Maybe their fi rst business is dog walk-ing, but their second business is a multi-million dollar soft-

ware company.”And that’s the whole idea

behind the program. Success-ful applicants are running simple, money-making busi-nesses that are fairly easy to get off the ground.

Throughout the summer, the business owners learn about customer service, accounting, and problem-solving.

“We have tons of examples of youth starting with a very simple business, learning the fundamentals, and then apply-ing them to a larger company,” Mogharreban said.

The program fl ies in the face of the traditional idea of business ownership, which previous generations may have considered risky. Today, relying on a faceless employer as your only source of income could actually be riskier, Mogharreban said.

For Dubé, the coolest part of the program is his access to bi-weekly meetings that put all 67 entrepreneurs in the same room with Ottawa’s top business leaders, bankers, lawyers and creative minds.

He’s usually paired off with like-minded youth, who are pursuing photography or oth-er digital media. That allows them to bounce ideas off each other, network and learn.

“We’re all different, so we’re not competitors,” Dubé said.

Mogharreban is also ex-cited.

“You instantly have access to this team of professionals who have volunteered their time,” he said. “(The youth) are going to be running Ot-tawa in 10 years and they’re going to know the cream of the crop.”

Since 1988

Lifestyle - Children who are being rejected by their peers are going through a terrible ordeal. Isolated, insulted and ostracized, they often suffer in silence, and the consequences can be dramatic. It is never easy for parents to help a child who is being rejected, but it is possible.

Being different in some way is sometimes the cause be-hind this rejection. At other times, there doesn’t appear to be any logical explanation. Shyness, a nervous tic, speech diffi culties, obesity, or even having braces can be enough to set in motion the victimization process. Sometimes, all it takes is for children to ignore being made fun of for the rejection to start. And yet, some children who stutter or who are obese will never experience rejection. Children are best prepared by receiving help in devel-oping a certain amount of independence and social skills, which allow them to cope with their differences. Parents who help their children from a young age to develop social skills are preparing them to be better able to defend them-selves without resorting to violence (but rather through discussion or humour, for example). This also helps them to build their self-confi dence. Parents should listen to how their children have suffered and, above all, take them seriously. The next step is to tell their teachers; school staff may be able to correct the situ-ation through a class discussion where everyone can ex-press themselves without fear of being judged. It is vital to encourage rejected children to talk about their experience in order for them to escape their isola-tion.

How to help children who have been rejectedLifestyle - Why not organize a back to school party this year? Turning the fi rst day of school into a festive occasion is a great way to start off the new school year on the right foot.

You probably already know that eating breakfast is vital for energy and for in-creasing one’s capacity to learn. Make your back-to-school breakfast a colourful affair. Set the table with fresh fl owers and new placemats, and concoct a healthy breakfast that’s a bit out of the ordinary. If your children aren’t hungry, a smoothie and a small homemade fat-free muffi n are easy to manage, even for small stomachs that are feeling queasy with stress.Before leaving home, be sure to take the traditional photograph at the front door. The idea may seem old-fashioned to you, but these annual photos will become great memories for the entire family. Create an album just for these back-to-school photos and in a few years time you’ll all have fun looking through it. When your children get home after their fi rst day back at school, give them a surprise, a little reward to make them feel better after what can often be a stressful

day. You don’t need to spend a fortune to put smiles on their faces – serving their fa-vourite meal or taking everybody out to a restaurant is a great way to fi nish off the day.

Above all, this is an occasion to spend time together as a family, a moment to support each other in making the peaceful transition from the quiet of the summer to the regular school year routine.

Arts - Sympathy for the world’s most famous villains is rampant: Oz’s Elphaba told her side of the story in the Broadway production Wicked, and this spring Sleeping Beauty’s foe Malefi cent had her moment on the sil-ver screen.

This July, a group of talented Manotick youth will continue the theme when the fi rst session of Manotick Arts Camp gives our favou-rite fairytale villains new life.

“It’s written through the lens of the necessity of evil, and how the vic-tors always write history,” said stage director Adam Breadner. “It’s the loser’s perspective.”

It’s a heavy topic, but this is no sombre affair: the screenplay is full of laughs, and the campers have had ample opportunity to add their own gags and character development into the play.

“They’re really good at adding their own comedy,” Breadner said.

The Big, Bad Wolf, Malefi cent and even a 100-foot giant – at least parts of him – will tell their tales of woe.

The two-week camp began July 7 at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick. Fifty campers have specialized in drama, vocals, dance, instrumentation and visual arts to pull a full-length production together in only 10 days.

At 7 p.m. on Friday, July 18 as

many as 200 people will cram into the church basement, and the public is more than welcome to join in the fun.

Camp organizer Sandy Stanutz said registration is still open for the second two-week session, which be-gins July 21. There are also two one-week sessions for younger kids ages 6 to 10, which take place Aug. 5 to 8 and Aug. 11 to 15.

Lifestyle - Here’s a tasty way to start the day. Hastings, on the North Island, known as the “fruit bowl of New Zealand,” grows a bounty of summer tree fruits similar to Ontario. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Baking time: 35 to 40 minutes. Serves 12.

INGREDIENTS

• 250 ml (1 cup) butter, softened • 425 ml (1-3/4 cups) granulated sugar • 4 eggs • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) vanilla

• 675 ml (2-3/4 cups) all-purpose fl our • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) baking powder • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 2 to 3 nectarines, sliced • 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries • Icing sugar

PREPARATION

Line a 39 by 26 centimetre (15-1/2 x 10-1/2 inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl using electric mix-er, cream the butter with the sugar for

about one minute. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and

the vanilla until smooth. In a medium bowl, mix together the fl our, bak-ing powder and salt, and beat into a creamed mixture at medium speed until blended.

Spread the batter into the prepared baking sheet. Top it with nectarine slices, pressing them slightly into the batter. Scatter the blueberries over top.

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until it’s lightly browned and a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Dust the top with icing sugar.

News - No photos exist of Ann Currier alive, but Wat-son’s Mill guests now have a chance to capture her image from the other side.

Organizers of the mill’s annual paranormal investiga-tion on Saturday, July 19 are this year encouraging guests

to bring their cameras to see if they can spot any ethereal activities in action.

Currier was only 20 when she was killed violently dur-ing a milling demonstration to mark the site’s one-year anniversary in 1861.

It is believed her ghost still lives inside the mill, a rumour reinforced by regu-lar reports of ghostly sight-ings, sounds and feelings from guests who visit the Manotick museum.

Just last week, two Wat-son’s Mill employees re-ported hearing unexplained footsteps on the stairs.

“I had a bit of an odd ex-

perience on the third floor of the mill,” said heritage interpreter Dan Little, who was with his colleague at the time.

“We were by the top of the stairs, and out of nowhere we started to hear the clip-clop of heeled footsteps coming up the stairs, but there was no one there.”

Little said they called out to see if anyone was in the mill, but there was no an-swer.

“It was getting louder and louder until it sounded like they stepped onto the top floor. And then it stopped and it didn’t come back,” he

said. Little said he was a bit

“freaked out” – and the ex-perience has made him re-think his doubts.

“I wouldn’t consider my-self a believer (in ghosts) but now the seed of doubt has been planted,” he said.

“There have been a num-ber of sightings and differ-ent encounters and I thought before they were maybe stories, but now I think this may validate some of the things we’ve heard.”

The mysterious footsteps could have come from Ann, but other ghosts are reported to live in the mill as well;

one young boy who drowned inside the mill is said to live in the basement.

The investigation will be lead by the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society, which each year brings its special-ized paranormal equipment to the mill to find concrete evidence of the heavenly realm.

“They are very serious about what they do,” said education officer Cam True-man. “I am absolutely posi-tive they will find something that will be interesting.”

Established in 2001, the society is a volunteer orga-nization which seeks to un-

derstand and capture solid evidence of paranormal ac-tivity.

This year the group will bring its new plasma ball equipment, which is used to “pick up on certain en-ergies,” according to True-man.

Tickets are $25 and in-clude a light dinner.

The event is not recom-mended for children under 10.

The mill is located at 5525 Dickinson St. in Manotick. Free parking is available on site.

For tickets call 613-692-6455.

Building Lansdowne

David JohnstonA new era in Ottawa’s entertainment leg-

acy is unfolding.The revitalized stadium at Lansdowne,

now known as TD Place, re-opens Friday July 18 when CFL Football returns with the Ottawa REDBLACKS hosting the Toronto Argonauts.

The event kicks off a year of new begin-nings at Lansdowne, starting with the sta-dium.

TD Place is a year-round entertainment venue, hosting large outdoor concerts and performances in the stadium, and medium-sized shows and events in the arena.

With a colourful history dating back to the 19th century, TD Place at Lansdowne has witnessed CFL and Grey Cup drama, FIFA Women’s World Cup games, FIFA U-20 World Cup games, as well as notable perfor-mances by the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Supertramp and the Tragically Hip.

The stadium at TD Place has been trans-formed into a 24,000-seat venue, highlighted by a striking and innovative new south stand veil made of Alaskan yellow cedar, a com-pletely refurbished north stand, all-new play-ing surface and high tech scoreboards with in-stadium signage and services.

The CFL Ottawa REDBLACKS and NASL Ottawa Fury FC will both play their inaugural 2014 seasons at the stadium at TD Place.

The grounds surrounding TD Place sta-dium and arena have taken on a new life as an 18-acre urban park. With old favourites, like the Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building, and exciting new attractions such as the Water Plaza, Children’s Garden and Skating Court, Lansdowne is a four-season playground for everyone.

Lansdowne Park opens August 16 with a full day of family-focused fun. The com-munity festival and picnic will feature games and activities for the kids, exhibitions, con-certs and more from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In keeping with the heritage theme of the park, the old-fashioned carnival and will offer the opportunity to explore the heritage, modern

amenities and natural beauty of Ottawa’s newest world-class attraction.

“Lansdowne will soon be an ideal space to spend quality time with friends and family. We hope that everyone comes to experience the excitement of the new Lansdowne,” said Marco Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne.

The 10,000-seat arena at TD Place has been home to NHL games, the World Junior Hockey Championships, World Figure Skat-

ing Championships, and performances by leading acts from around the world. It has been transformed with all-new premium seating, state-of-the-art scoreboard and digi-tal signage. The Ontario Hockey League’s Ottawa 67’s return home to TD Place in September.

The plan to revitalize Lansdowne started in 2009, in a series of initiatives approved by Ottawa Council. Council voted to proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne June 28, 2010 through a partnership of the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Sports and Enter-tainment Group. Lansdowne includes the re-furbished stadium and former Civic Centre, a large urban park as well as a mixed-use area featuring 360,000 square feet of retail shops and services, offices and residences. The retail is slated to open in the fall and the residences should be ready for occupancy in spring 2015.

In creating the Lansdowne project, the City of Ottawa established principals that in-cluded pursuing a higher standard of design and sustainability for new elements in the redevelopment. The final design, landscape and architectural plans were reviewed by a panel of experts and City representatives to ensure integration of all areas of the site - retail, park, public space, stadium and resi-

dential.Since the beginning the redevelopment

of Lansdowne has been in keeping with its historic role as a gathering place for the com-munity while modernizing its facilities and uses for today’s residents.

A key goal of the Lansdowne Partnership Plan is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certifica-tion. This is a voluntary, consensus-based standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings, assessed over six cat-egories covering sustainability, water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation.

A critical element of certification is ac-cessibility. From the start, the Lansdowne construction and design team followed the principles of Universal Design to provide the highest level of accessibility possible and creating areas and spaces that can be used by ev-eryone, including those with and without disabilities.

One example is that there are few changes in grade levels. Having sidewalks and roadways at the same level makes it easier for everyone to move around. It also

makes it safer to cross streets for peoplewith walkers, wheelchairs and scooters.

The sidewalks and roads at the site havebumps and grit in certain areas to let people with disabilities know that they are approach-ing another roadway or sidewalk.

All benches, water fountains, and other structures have been placed away from eachother to allow plenty of room for people topass by.

Taxis and Para Transpo are able to droppeople off close to the stadium and seating at the site has been designed to allow for ev-eryone to sit together with plenty of space.Accessible washrooms have also beenadded to the football stadium.

The current Lansdowne construc-tion project employs the latest tech-nology to accomplish new heights in creative design, engineering and energy conservation. It’s not the first time that the site has drawn attention. Innovative construction techniques used in the construction of the Civic Centre actually were a tourist attrac-tion.

In the summer of 1966, the large beams required for the $8.5M Civic Centre began arriving at Lansdowne Park. The immense beams, fabricated by the Dominion Bridge Company in Montreal, were too large to transport by truck so they were floated up the Ottawa River and down the Rideau Canal by barge.

As there was only one beam per barge, the flotilla attracted the atten-tion of onlookers as the beams ar-rived and were put into place.

Building Lansdowne

David Johnston

The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa. Long and harsh, the icy chill bit deep into 5,300 workers on site to create the new Lansdowne. But that didn’t stop construction. Crews remained hard at work on the stadium, underground parking ga-rage and urban park to keep on schedule for the re-opening of the redeveloped 80-acre site.

Innovative construction techniques such as ground-heating machines and insulating tarps were used to advance work through frigid winter months.

“I can’t say it went without problems, but the project team is so dedicated that we are able to overcome every obstacle. That’s what gets you through the dark days,” said Maro Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lans-downe.

On site working out of a trailer since the fall of 2012, Manconi has watched the new Lansdowne emerge. From the drama of moving the landmark Horticulture Building from its original location 150 metres to the east, to coordinating the pouring of infrastructure concrete from an onsite mixing plant, the project has moved forward at a steady pace.

There are over 50 contractors currently involved in the construction at Lansdowne. Some of these include: Pomerleau Inc. - General Contractor and Overall Site Management; MHPM - Project Manag-ers for OSEG; D&G Landscaping - Urban Park con-tractor; Minto Residential and Commercial - for the Office Tower; Trinity - Overall Retail Development; Doran; Laurin and Massicotte.

“We have a motivated team, and that’s keeps this project going.”

Moving an historic structure is no easy feat. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of the building.

By the time it was ready to move, the building weighed 1,700 tonnes, including the 480 tonnes of steel beams installed inside for strength and sup-port. It was raised 90 cm with hydraulic jacks onto 48 dollies – each carrying more than 32 tonnes.

The move took about a week as workers stopped it every five to 10 feet to recalibrate the wheels and ensure that the Horticulture Building arrived precisely at its new home. The building’s heritage designation was removed to allow for the move, but it will be redesignated.

“The new location ensures the Horticulture Building will not be overshadowed by taller new commercial buildings on the site. Instead, it will be an architectural anchor for the new urban park, standing in a prominent position near the Rideau Canal. It will reclaim its role as a community gath-ering place, much as it was when it opened 100 years ago.”

The Aberdeen Pavilion, among Ottawa’s most recognizable buildings, is Canada’s last large-scale exhibition building surviving from the 19th century.

“The Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Build-ing now create a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.”

Though Lansdowne is geared toward pedestrian traffic, there is an underground parking garage with about 1,300 parking spaces over approximately 11 acres, stretching from Queen Elizabeth Drive to Bank Street. There are two main vehicle entrances and exits to the garage – one from Queen Elizabeth Drive and a second off of Bank Street, near the sta-dium. Parking will service the retail component of Lansdowne as well as providing restricted on-site event parking. An entrance for residents only will

be located along Holmwood Ave.Native heritage is also built into Lansdowne

and Aberdeen Square. The interlocking stone thatstretches across the square has been patternedto resemble Algonquin basketry and food vessels.This interpretive element is inspired by the care and respect paid to food by Algonquins and is set within the heart of the Ottawa Farmer’s Market.

The Teaching Circle, south of the rink at the east edge of the property, is another location for visitors to connect with Algonquin culture. Lans-downe’s history is rich with examples of teachingand exhibition and the Teaching Circle will allow for interaction between the Park’s history and that ofthe Algonquins.

Seven Trees of Significance surround the Teach-ing Circle. Identified by botanical markers and high-lighted by interpretive panels, identifying and de-scribing their significance to Algonquin culture, theseven trees are: Eastern White Cedar, Paper Birch,Trembling Aspen, Sugar Maple, Basswood, White Spruce, and Tamarack.

The Civic Demonstration Gardens, to be plant-ed in spring 2015, will feature an ethno-botanicalgarden to feature plant species significant to theAlgonquins of Ontario that are of ceremonial, me-dicinal or practical use.

All of these features are intended to not onlybeautify the square, but also to help educate visi-tors about Algonquin history, culture and art.

Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly.Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never

been easier and a new series of pathways make navi-gating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansd-owne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot.

Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lans-downe and will take you to the various buildings, out-door event spaces and parkland.

Bike racks are conveniently located throughout Lansdowne with enough onsite parking for more than 600 bicycles.

The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces. Pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all share the road-way. Pedestrians will always have the right of way, followed by cyclists. Car access will be limited. These wide pathways make it easier for everyone to move around freely and experience Lansdowne. The site is fully accessible for people with disabilities.

Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway ex-tension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horti-culture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events. Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot.

On normal days, cyclists and pedestrians can move freely through the site on paths together. When the site is busy, cyclists should dismount and walk their bikes for everyone’s safety.

Building LansdowneOne of Ottawa’s historic treasures, The Aberdeen Pavilion, is

the last large-scale exhibition building in Canada surviving from the 19th century.

When it opened its doors in 1898 at the dawn of the 20th century, its large, column-free interior made it the ideal space to house the Central Canada Exhibition and to promote advancements in agriculture and livestock. Named for staunch agricultural supporter Governor General, the Earl of Aberdeen, it was so associated with agriculture that it became known as the Cattle Castle almost immediately.

It became a showcase for Canada’s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturers’ Building. It was also one of Ottawa’s earliest community skating rinks and the site of the Ottawa Silver Seven 1904 Stanley Cup victory. During the Boer War and both World Wars, it was a staging ground for troops prior to deployment overseas.

By the time it received Ontario heritage designation in 1982 and as a National Historic Site in Canada in 1983, it had fallen into disuse.

In 1992, Ottawa undertook a major refurbishment, restoring the Aberdeen Pavilion to its original splendour, with funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario.

Successfully combining the practical with the fanciful, the refurbished building now captures the holiday atmosphere of a 19th-century fair. It remains a visual centrepiece for the redeveloped Lansdowne and an important link to Ottawa’s past.

Aberdeen Pavillion a century-old landmark in Ottawa

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

There is a long a colourful history rooting Lansdowne in the agricultural community. The Ottawa Valley Farm Show got its start when the newly formed Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association sponsored its first seed fair at Ren-frew Collegiate in 1927.

Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec’s rural communities, the seed fair’s suc-cess soon outgrew smaller venues. In 1959, the show

moved to Lansdowne Park and for the first time, Ontario’s longest-running agricultural trade show had a permanent location.

With more space at the Lansdowne Park location, large farm equipment manufacturers soon saw the opportunity to set up displays of new farm machinery. This became a major attraction for visitors to the show in conjunction with the OVSGA. The show expanded to six exhibit ar-eas including the entire Civic Centre floor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion – widely known as the Cattle Castle.

The Ottawa Valley Farm Show remained at Lansdowne Park until 2011 when it relocated to the Ernst & Young Centre in the south end of the city due to the redevelop-ment of Lansdowne.

The OVFS remains a spring tradition for the agricul-tural and rural communities. With over 300 exhibitors, the show includes displays by livestock breed associations, 4-H exhibits, arts and crafts, farm toys and books, tools, equipment, and the fundraising Pedigreed Seed Sale for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

The Horticulture Building was moved 150 metres to the east to make room for commer-cial development at Lansdowne. The historic building now completes Aberdeen Square.

As Lansdowne welcomes visitors this summer, the Horticulture Building will be in the middle of a major restoration. By the end of the year, it will retake its rightful place as a prominent community space.

Work is underway to restore this landmark and to make it an architectural anchor for Lansdowne. It will retake its role as a place for community to gather, through farmers’ markets, festivals, sports and other cultural events.

The Horticulture Building was built in 1914 to the designs of Francis C. Sullivan and Allan Keefer. Its place in Canadian architectural history is important given that Sullivan was the only Canadian student of Frank Lloyd Wright. He brought Wright’s Prairie Style to Canada in this building’s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands.

The building has undergone considerable change – a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling – but it has remained a public

space. Many Ottawa residents have fond memories of the building as a central site for curling and other public events.

While it received heritage designation in 1989, the building was neglected over the past 20 years. It had been reduced to a storage facility, deteriorating to the point that the public was no longer permitted inside. The heritage designation was briefly rescinded between 1991 and 1994 to allow for the removal of the workshop, which was not part of the original design.

As part of the Lansdowne redevelopment, the landmark Horticulture Building was moved from its original location 150 metres to the east. Together with the Aberdeen Pavilion, the building now creates a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.

The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of this historically significant building but in November 2012 the move was successfully completed.

Horticulture Building regains former gloryThe new Lansdowne was designed with pedestrians and cyclists in

mind. Use of personal vehicles will be discouraged. For major events (15,000+ attendees) such as REDBLACKS games and the Fury FC home opener, ticketholders can travel to and from the game for free.

CITY OF OTTAWA

Building Lansdowne

Lansdowne Park has been a gathering place for well over 100 years but three times in the last century it served as a gathering place for troops going to Canada’s foreign military missions.

The opening of the Aberdeen Pavilion for the 10th Annual Central Canada Exhibition of 1898 showcased the development of this unique site into a significant national and international venue and set the stage for a gathering of military forces.

From 1899 to 1901 Lansdowne was used as a staging site for troops of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse. Soldiers were encamped on the site before shipping out to what is today South Africa to join the British Army against the Dutch South Africans, known as Boers.

With the outbreak of the Boer War in October 1899, the government of Canada responded by recruiting, equipping and transporting two contin-gents of volunteers to serve with the British forces in South Africa. Over the next three years, more than 7,000 Canadians, including 12 women nurs-es, served overseas.

The war is a key event in the military history of Canada the first time that Canada dispatched troops to an overseas war and it started at the exhibition grounds at Lansdowne.

Only 15 years later, at midnight on August 4, 1914, Britain was at war and that meant Canada was at war. Prime Minister Robert Borden offered Canadian assistance to Great Britain and called for a supreme national effort.

With an outpouring of patriotic support, Canada mobilized quickly. Less than two weeks later on August 23, 1914, the new Princess Patricia’s Ca-nadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the first time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the first Canadian infantry unit to head overseas and arrived in France on December 21, 1914.

Following the declaration of war, about 3,000 applicants were recruited and by August 19 a full complement of 1,098 had been selected. Captain Andrew Hamilton Gault, a prominent Montreal

businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds with a contribution of $100,000, (equivalent to more than $2 million in 2014), making the PPCLI the last privately raised regiment in Canada.

Military connections to Lansdowne were well-established by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to fight overseas. It became home to The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and the 4th Hussars of Canada, who later became the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards).

When Canada declared war on September 10, 1939, The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada had already begun to mobilize and was at full strength of 807 within one week. The 1st Bat-talion embarked for overseas on December 16, 1940 and arrived in the UK on Christmas Eve. The 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards deployed in 1941. Both regiments served in multiple cam-paigns during the war.

The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa continued as a regiment following the WWII. With their long history of service in the capital, they were granted the Freedom of the City on May 24, 1969. This is the highest honour conferred by a city council upon a military unit.

Lansdowne stands proud of its war support record

By Mayor Jim WatsonFor the past 146 years, Lansdowne Park

has been one of Ottawa’s most important civic sites. It has hosted agricultural fairs, exhibitions, festivals, concerts and sport-ing events. At Lansdowne, the Silver Seven brought the Stanley Cup to Ottawa, the 67’s the Memorial Cup, and the Rough Riders the Grey Cup.

Lansdowne has been the site of many firsts, for our city and our country. The elec-tric stove, light bulb and telephone all made their Canadian debut here in Ottawa, at Lansdowne.

Lansdowne has, at times, served a more solemn purpose, as a staging area for troops being deployed overseas, or a mass funeral for a fallen police officer.

As we anxiously await the arrival of the renewed and revitalized Lansdowne, we have the opportunity to consider all that this place has meant to the development of our city, as well as the possibilities it provides

for our future. The new Lansdowne offers a host of fea-

tures unimagined in 1868, but has held true to its origins as a place of community and commerce. The new Urban Park, with over 800 trees and acres of new greenspace, will be visited by residents and their guests for decades to come.

I wonder what the next ‘first’ at Lansd-owne will be.

Looking to the legacy of Lansdowne’s heroes past, the ingenuity of Thomas Ahearn, the tenacity of Frank McGee and the nobility of Hamilton Gault, and each of the tens of thousands of veterans who have called Lansdowne home, we know that the possibilities are limited only by our imagina-tion and determination.

Lansdowne will continue to be a place where history is made. I encourage every resident of Ottawa to come, and not just ex-perience Lansdowne’s renaissance, but to help build it as well.

TDDon’t miss the action

TD Place at Lansdowne is ready to kick off a new era of foot-ball in the Capital.

The Ottawa RedBlacks are the newest addition to the Ca-nadian Football League. Though the team has a new name, itstill maintains the traditional colours that link it to a long and richhistory.

The Ottawa Football Club came into existence in 1876 and alternated between the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Unions. After being suspended for rough play in 1897, the Ot-tawa Football Club reorganized itself into the Ottawa Rough Riders, and adopted the red and black colours of the CanadianRegiment in the Spanish-American War.

In 1909, the Rough Riders moved their games from Metro-politan Grounds to Lansdowne, where the team called homeuntil it folded in 1996. However, when the team won its first Grey Cup in 1925 and its second in 1926, they were known as theOttawa Senators. The team had changed their name the previ-ous year after amalgamating with St. Brigid’s, which played inthe city league. In 1927, the team reverted back to the OttawaRough Riders.

Lansdowne would continue to be their home over the years, with such hall-of-famers as Tony Golab, Russ Jackson, TonyGabriel, Tom Clements and Coach Frank Clair. They would win seven more Grey Cups, in 1940, 1951, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1976.

Football made a brief return from 2002 to 2005 with the Ot-tawa Renegades.

And now it’s back at Lansdowne where the spirit has always remained.

Football legacy

Over its long history, the Stanley Cup has been hoisted in many iconic buildings the Montreal Forum, the Olympiad in Detroit, the Boston Garden – and the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne.

In 1904 the Ottawa Hockey Club, later the Senators and also known as the Silver Seven, were the defending Stanley Cup champions and considered the premier hockey team in Canada. Ottawa had a reputation as a rough team and fea-tured such stars as the Gilmour brothers, Bouse Hutton, and Frank McGee.

Three teams challenged Ottawa that year for hockey’s Holy

Grail – the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboroughs, and the Brandon Wheat Kings. Ottawa defeated the Winnipeg in the first series, two games to one. Game Three ranked as the bloodiest Stanley Cup game at that time.

The Ottawa team won the Stanley Cup on home ice at the Aberdeen Pavilion that year and again in 1905. Each playerreceived a pocket watch to commemorate their victory. One of the watches is held at the City of Ottawa Archives. Manyold arenas, like the Boston Garden and Detroit Olympiad, nolonger stand. But like the pocket watch, the Aberdeen Pavilion still captures the glory of hockey’s early years.

News - Moms lounged at Vincent Massey Park watch-ing their older children play nearby with their dads – a typical sight at any park.

Many openly nursed their babies, which organizers of a special public breast-feeding celebration held on Saturday, July 5 hope will also become a typical sight, sooner rather than later.

“It’s just to bring normal-cy back to breastfeeding,” organizer Shawna Rioux said of the message behind the second-annual event. “We want people to pass by and not even notice because it’s normal.”

About 220 people, many of them children, dads and many moms nursing their babies – some of whom came from as far away as Brock-ville – spent the afternoon in the public setting.

It was a far cry from the 50 people who attended the inaugural event, which was organized in just four weeks and held at Major’s Hill Park

in downtown Ottawa last August.

The success of the second-annual gathering is indica-tive of a huge amount of sup-port for public breastfeeding in Ottawa, said Rioux, presi-dent and founder of Breasts Out for Ontario Babies, or BOOB, a new organization that raises awareness about breastfeeding in public.

“We really want to make sure people know that this isn’t supposed to be uncom-fortable,” Rioux said, adding that many moms still only breastfeed in their cars, in public washrooms, or only when they are in the privacy of their own home.

“I really did start that way,” she said, adding that when her son, who is now 17 months, was born, she found it difficult covering up in public each time she needed to feed her baby. “It was hard. I did go around cover-ing for the first little while and then I thought, ‘You know what? I really don’t care anymore.’ It’s just more work for me and he’s getting mad because he’s pushing

the blanket off.”Through BOOB, Rioux

hopes to educate more peo-ple that women have the right to breastfeed anytime, anywhere under the Cana-da’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

There have been recent incidents in Ottawa in which breastfeeding mothers were the target of insensitive or harassing comments because they were feeding their ba-bies in a public setting, she said.

She pointed to the re-cent example of a Starbucks barista employee offering a nursing mother support and a free drink voucher after an-other customer complained about the mom breastfeed-ing her baby in public.

The barista’s supportive response prompted Rioux to drop by and thank him for his support.

The negative reaction of the other customer serves as a reminder that more awareness and education is needed, reason why Rioux’s group is working hard to support women and helping

them feel more comfortable with something so natural.

“To raise … public aware-ness on public breastfeeding is very rare, which is why I felt there was a need for it,” she said of the work she and other moms are doing through BOOB. “There’s a huge following of breast-feeding in Ottawa.”

Rioux is seriously consid-ering once again holding the third-annual public breast-feeding celebration in Vin-cent Massey Park, as well as taking her campaign to To-ronto or Montreal to spread the positive message.

The goal is to eventu-ally have similar events take place every year throughout

Ontario.“We really believe in what

we’re doing and we know we’re making a difference,” said Rioux. “I mean Saturday was the perfect example.”

News - A grieving mother is looking to help other moms like her and children of murdered women by building a place of sanctuary.

Susan Martin lost her daugh-ter, Terrie Ann Dauphinais when

she was murdered in 2002, leav-ing behind three young chil-dren. Dauphinais death remains unsolved and over the past 12 years, Martin has been working hard trying to heal and now, as every day she becomes a little stronger, the mother wants to do a little good amongst the dark-ness by building a therapeutic farm for her grandchildren and other children of murdered or lost women.

“Our dream and our goal is to start the fi rst therapeutic farm out in Alberta so we can help the children who are left behind and so we can keep them on stay on the right track,” Martin said.

To help make this dream a reality, Martin will be hosting

Terrie’s Fundraiser on June 19 at the Bronson Centre. Her goal is to raise at least $250,000 for the farm. The farm will have horses, donated by Martin, as well as other animals, as tending to animals, Martin said is a great way to start to heal.

“The children can work with the animals and learn how to take care of them,” Martin said. “It will be about therapy and spending time with the animals and talking about how they feel.”

According to Martin, the number of children left behind by murdered or missing na-tive women is at least 1,186 in Canada.

“No one wants to hear about

murder. The children left behind don’t have a voice. We want to help give them one,” Martin said.

The farm will be open all year and children from families of missing and murdered wom-en will be able to come during the summer months and school breaks. Martin knows fi rst-hand the healing powers animals can have, as it was her own horses who helped her come out of her shell four years after her daugh-ter’s death.

“The animals kept me level,” she said. “The horses gave me therapeutic healing. You are working with such a big animal they need your attention. It does help, but doesn’t take away the pain that I have in my heart. You might get justice but there is no closure. We have to live with this the day we die.”

The fi rst therapeutic farm will be in between Calgary for Dauphinais’ children to inherit but Martin sees this as the fi rst of many farms across the coun-try.

“I know the vision I have for this farm; I just want it to

go so it can continue. It can’t bring my child back but we can make a difference,” Martin said. “The fi rst one will be in Alberta, but I want it to spread it across Canada and have different fami-lies run them; get the families involved.”

For Martin, the farms are but one thing she would like to do for these families, mentioning when a child goes missing, the cost for fl yers, organizing search parties and sending families to the city or town where their child was murdered all costs money they may not have.

“We know what they are go-ing through. That is our focus -- the farm and helping the fami-lies,” she said.

Martin wants the charity to be able to help with this and more, so that the suffering could be a little less, or day to day worries don’t need to take place.

FUNDRAISER

The fundraiser is Martin’s fi rst foray in raising money for the cause and she is making sure partiers have a good time.

Martin will be catering the event with a full dinner and snacks and drinks, including beef pot pies, lasagna, soup, bannocks and desserts. There will also be wine, beer and tea and coffee.

“It makes my heart sing when people can’t move because they ate too much,” Martin said.

There will be live entertain-ment from a number of local bands and there will be a live auction. Martin will also set up an online auction, to continually raise money for the cause.

More information about the event is available at terriesfundraiser.weebly.com.

Returning Lost Cats: We Need Our Community’s Help SocietyLast year 3,841 lost cats weren’t claimed by their

owners. The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) made some tremendous progress in many, many areas, particularly since the move to West Hunt Club. Almost every measure shows improvement. The one glaring exception? The one stubbornly low statistic is cat return-to-owner rate. Last fi scal year, it was an abysmal 5.2%. Worse, it has only exceeded 6% one year in the last decade. That means of the 4,052 stray cats admitted last year, only 211 went home, most because no one came looking for them. When added to the several thousand cats surrendered by their owners, that creates enormous pressure as the OHS cares for and rehomes this huge number of cats.

Many strategies have been tried over the years to return more lost cats to their homes, but none have had a signifi cant effect. The OHS needs the animal community’s help.

What can you do?First, keep your cat indoors. The OHS estimates that this one

step in responsible animal ownership would reduce the number of stray and injured cats by over a half.

Second, identify your cat. Even indoor cats escape, especially in the summer when the screen door is opened and closed a

lot, and when the outdoors is full of tempting sights, sounds, and smells. A tag and microchip on every cat would ensure that every lost cat would get home. A city registration even comes with a free ride home!

If you fi nd a cat:Don’t assume that her owner isn’t looking for her. File a

found report through the OHS website www.ottawahumane.ca or contact the OHS lost & found department [email protected] or 613-725-9998 right away. You can also:

or on-line lost pet sites

neighbours

for a microchip

If you have lost your cat:Search the area at dusk and/or dawn - be cautious around cars

and garbage cans. Inform your neighbours and ask them not to

feed your cat. Visit the Humane Society as soon as possible.You can also:

unique markings, a picture and your phone number - a reward motivates people!

your neighbourhood in the morning and evening calling your pet’s name

and anywhere else, including your old neighbourhood if you’ve recently moved

this helps nervous or shy cats who may have bolted return to a

section

other delivery people, local vet clinics, etc.

By working together as a community, we can help all of our feline friends return to their home!

Buracha ID#A167082 Sweet little Buracha (A167082) is a friendly gal looking for her purrrfect match.

This playful kitty loves to be in the thick of the action and once she’s pooped from playtime will curl up for a cuddle and snooze on your lap. She is a social creature who gets along with other cats and is patient with active children. She will happily greet you at the door when you come home each day and is great about using her scratching post! Buracha is a loving and affectionate feline who would provide loyal companionship for years to come.

For more information on Buracha and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Friendships in the makingFriends Jasmine Doig, Saelym Degrandpre, Jillian Smith and Colleen Sanguya split up and made new friends during the annual Flotilla for Friendship, a canoe trip that took place along the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa River on July 9. The girls teamed up with police offi cers for the day-long event that aims to bring police offi cers and Aboriginal youth together to create better relationships. The event began at Dow’s

Community - Rescuing pooches is a labour of love for Ashley Ladou-ceur, and an expensive one at that.

For that reason she jumped at the chance when Shannon Giust, co-owner of Chew-That, a specialty pet food and accessories business in Riverside South, offered to organize a rescue block party that will double as a community celebration and an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue, Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue and Ottawa Dog Rescue.

“We’re certainly not going to say no to that,” said Ladouceur, with Sit With Me Shelter Dog Rescue.

The Ottawa-based rescue special-izes in working with animal shelters and other rescues in Ottawa and Gatineau, Que. to help fi nd homes for pooches of all breeds that have intensive medical needs, as well as pit bull-type breeds that are outlawed in Ontario. Those are re-homed in parts of Quebec and Alberta.

Taking in high-needs dogs is costly for the rescue, which relies on adoption fees, about four fundrais-

ers every year and the generosity of donors to pay for dog food, supplies and medical treatment before dogs are adopted out.

“Our vet costs a month are about $10,000, pending no crisis, pending no major, major surgeries,” said La-douceur, an Osgoode resident. “It’s pretty high end. We have typically between 50 and 60 dogs in rescue at any time, so it adds up.”

Veterinarian bills include spaying and neutering, dental work, treatment for injuries and various illnesses, special dietary needs, pricey allergy medications and vaccinations, in ad-dition to surgeries and other medical treatments, including amputations.

The block party at the Riverside South Plaza, located at 665 Earl Armstrong Rd., is scheduled for July 19, from 1 to 5 p.m. There will be a silent auction, face painting, pet-nail trimming, dog washes, a microchip clinic for pet identifi cation, lemon-ade and snow cones and a profes-sional photographer.

There will also be a parade featur-ing dogs available for adoption.

Hi there, I’m Beans the Chihuahua ! My new family likes to call me “Beansy”, though. I’m a rescue adopted from The Ottawa Dog Rescue. Instead of living on the streets, I now have 2 dog brothers to steal beds from, a cat to chase all around the house, 3 kids to snuggle with (under the blankets of course, so that I surprise them in the middle of the night), and lots of toys to rip the stuffing out of the middle. FUN! Best new life ever! Adopt a rescue please, and give us a second chance.
