Boaters launch complaints about Red Pine Bay facility Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - McNab-Braeside officials are fielding calls on why a boat launch, less than a year old, has been out of commission all spring and into the summer.

Township Mayor Mary Campbell is bewildered that a launch, which didn’t exist in Braeside until late August last year, could upset so many people by not being in use so far this year. It’s being lumped in with the service agreements conflict causing uncertainty at

Arnprior’s recreation centre.

“I’m amazed,” Campbell said. “It’s like a crisis. We’re getting angry calls from people saying they can’t use the boat launch, they can’t go to the Nick Smith Centre, ‘I’m not voting for you guys.’”

The old launch at Red Pine Bay was difficult for older users. The heavy winds would blow boats off kilter, and unless a few helpers were on hand, the situation could approach dangerous.

Hence the new launch, built at a cost of $160,000 (including a $50,000 federal

grant). It is more sheltered from wind, but because the water doesn’t channel, it is something of a magnet for silt and garbage.

Campbell said she and the rest of councillors - none of whom count themselves as boaters – were surprised to learn this spring that maintenance is needed for the next few years.

It will need to be dredged to create berm with rocks. It is unclear how much it will cost.

Late a.m. garbage pick-up possible Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - Garbage collection will likely switch to about 10 a.m. on Wednesday mornings in the downtown core.

At Monday’s regular Arnprior council meeting, staff presented council with the results of a

waste collection survey. Although fairly evenly dispersed, of the 44 respondents 13 opted for 10 a.m. collection with the earliest set out at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night.

In second place was 12 votes for 9 a.m. pick up with the earliest set out at 7 p.m.

MP announces new accessibility funding opportunities News – Local municipalities are being urged to apply for fundiung to improve accessibility of their services.

In a news release last week, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant issued a reminder that the deadline to apply for the latest round of federal Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) funding is Aug. 1.

“The EAF is helping all members of our community, regardless of their mobility, to enjoy full access and enjoyment to local establishments including the Horton Community Centre,� said Gallant. “I am looking forward to seeing how this newest round of funding will help our communities to ensure all their facilities

are fully accessible to the public.�

Eligible applicants can receive contributions of up to $50,000 for their projects. Under this stream of the EAF, at least 35 per cent of the funding required for the project must come from a source other than the federal government.

This latest intake is designed

to provide funding for projects that improve accessibility, such as renovating, retroďŹ tting or constructing community facilities; retroďŹ tting community-based transportation; or making information and communications technologies more accessible.

Those interested in applying can visit the website cherylgallant.com.

County will have new warden as Emon not not running again News - Renfrew County will have a new warden before year’s end.

And expect Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack to be one of those considered for the post.

The expectation that Township of Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon would continue as warden for a third year was derailed July 3 when he announced he will not running for re-election as mayor in October’s municipal election.

Emon said he will complete his term through until the end of November of this year.

Stack, who had no comment at Monday’s town council meeting, is expected to be considered for the warden’s job, as he has served as the town’s representative on county council since 2006. He has also served in the high proďŹ le position as operations committee chair for the past two terms.

His experience, combined with the likelihood that several municipalities in this area could have new representatives around the council table, make him a probable southend candidate.

Emon and Horton Mayor Don Eady are not running again and Admaston-Bromley’s Raye-Anne Briscoe will face a strong challenge from Coun. Michael Donohue if she seeks re-election.

As well, Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green and McNabBraeside Mayor Mary Campbell are facing strong challenges in the Oct. 27 election.

In announcing his decision, Emon indicated he is moving his family to Renfrew.

He noted he has run in a number of elections in Greater Madawaska and its predecessors since ďŹ rst being elected in 1988. He said he is extremely grateful for the ongoing support and encouragement he has received from family, the community, staff and volunteers of the municipality, and the members of council. “Greater Madawaska is a large, diverse community with a rich and proud history, peopled with strong hardworking individuals and families who take pride in their community,â€? said Emon. “They volunteer and host many visitors and friends throughout the year to showcase the rich culture and history of the area and the many opportunities to have fun. Our community is a welcoming, caring and nurturing community and it will continue to be that because of our friends and neighbors.â€?

Emon, his family and friends talked at length over the past few months about the decision to run or not and whether to move into town. “Increasingly, our family was and is involved in events and activities in Renfrew and we spend a lot of time on the road and we concluded it was best to purchase property and build a house in town,� Emon said.

Also, both he and his wife are contemplating retirement in the next few years and have friends to spend time with and activities in the town they will be enjoying.

Greater Madawaska already has two candidates for mayor, former councillor John Pratt, and former reeve J.R. Easton. Meanwhile, in Horton, Coun. Bob Kingsbury and Coun. Margaret Whyte, a former Arnprior councillor, are vying for the top spot. In McNab-Braeside, Campbell is being challenged by Coun. Aldene Styles and former Arnprior Coun. Tom Peckett.

Council to consider merchants’ and residents’ needs Ten votes went to the status quo, meaning a 7:30 a.m. pick up on Wednesday mornings, with a set out no sooner than 7 p.m.

Eight people want a 7:30 a.m. pick-up with the earliest set out at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday nights.

The issue spilled over weeks ago when the town issued a warning that too often businesses and residents in the core were setting out garbage too early, some before closing shop at 4 or 5 p.m., a solid two hours or more before the bylaw allows. The town’s concern is that garbage on

sidewalks for too long creates odours, is unsightly for those strolling in the evening and attracts animals.

Some business owners, including Ian Stupp, who wrote a letter about to council complaining about the process (it also ran in last week’s Chronicle-Guide), said there still appears to be some confusion on when the 9 and 10 a.m. pick-up options were included in the survey. Several respondents indicated that page two options didn’t appear to be available early on in the process, only later, he said.

Mayor David Reid was pleased with the survey and mused aloud about a “com-

promise” between the two top choices.

“Maybe we could go with 9:30 a.m. That would eliminate a lot of problems,” he said.

Opinion was evenly split on whether to have a “standard garbage can” for the core.

Twenty-two voted for it, 22 against.

Council will vote on the bylaw at an upcoming meeting.

‘BUSINESSES IGNORED’

Council candidate Doug Smith was livid that council elected to not comment on the petition he generated on the topic. Thirty-five downtown

‘Everybody is frustrated’: mayor

business owners signed onto his suggestion that set-out time move to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays – before many shops close.

He said the petition results indicate most business owners chose none of the survey options.

“The town survey was trash and the petition from 35 downtown business owners was ignored,” Smith said in an email to Reid. “Town council may not like what businesses have to say to their elected officials, but ignoring their petition is an affront to democracy when the same topic is being discussed.”

He said staff and council is R0022766449

making a habit out of ignoring residents and business leaders, even while criticizing them for going to the media first.

He also singled out public works director Guy Bourgon for needlessly complicating simple transactions. Smith said Bourgon wasn’t given the petition for staff’s consideration and presentation to council because it went to the town clerk instead.

“If the town clerk is not town staff, I am not sure what games are being played between council, staff or me personally,” Smith’s email read.

“I am requesting clarification from you about the petition from 35 downtown business

owners. Not responding to my clarification request will be deafening.”

Reid fired back.

“Your assertion that council ignored the petition is offensive and has no basis in fact,” he penned. “The petition was received as information, as was the staff report. The final decision will be debated at a future council meeting and I am confident that council will consider the petition, as will I, when a final decision is made.”

Campbell blames the severe winter for the situation.

“Everything was fine last year. It would be our luck that it was the coldest winter in 20 years, with the deepest ice, and we decided to build a boat launch,” she said.

“It’s hard to win.”

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) told the township that the launch is in the right place and that it will be few years getting adjusted before the kinks are worked out. MNR’s suggestion is to live with it.

However, Campbell admitted the township could have used heavier equipment to dig deeper the first time around, and council could have moved more quickly to get a solution in place.

But because provincially-mandated fish habitat protection prevents work on the launch until July 15, after hatching season, the township was forced to leave it unusable until now.

Campbell fears that date will hold in future years, meaning dredging won’t be happening until weeks into the boating season.

“Everybody is frustrated,” she said. “It could be two years, it could be five. We don’t know where the bottom is.

“The shore action will be different every winter, so we’ll be with it for a while before we know.”

Back when the township was considering the upgrade, she asked municipalities up and down the river about docking systems.

Problem is, she didn’t ask about what takes

It appears the township is going to swallow the annual maintenance costs.

With it moving to a user-pay system - $50 annual for residents, $75 for non-residents – the operational costs should eventually be covered. That system is working at the Burnstown beach.

Campbell doesn’t regret having invested in the launch, and plans to stick with it. She’s just moved on from the frustration phase.

“Red Pine is a jewel for Braeside. We just have to stabilize the launch over the next few years,” she said.

“We’ve accepted that you don’t just set up a launch and walk away. But we are done as a council being upset. We’ve moved on.”

Mysterious foam natural process, not from pollution plant Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - Weeks of fear that foul odours and repugnant slim and foam in the Madawaska River are signs of a sewage spill was dispelled by town staff on Monday.

According to Deanna Streifel, Arnprior’s environmental engineer, the foam build-up in the river in an area near the Water Pollution Control Centre (WPCC) is algae and other organic matter coming naturally out of aquatic plants and leaves.

“The build-up is, in fact, a result of a naturally occurring process and is not caused by the WPCC,” Streifel penned in a letter to residents.

“The e-coli and total coliform results in the sample collected by the town on July 4 are well below the stated guidelines.”

She said the town collected surface water samples for bacteriological parametres during past years when foam was spotted.

In those samples from past years, total e-coli and coliform numbers were also found to be well below guideline levels.

Riding for a Cancer Cure

By Tracey Tong In late 2012, Tom Robertson was diagnosed with stage 4 bilateral squamous cell carcinoma in his neck. Treatment started in early 2013.

“In between diagnosis and treatment, I saw this cool singlespeed, belt-drive bike at the store and thought that it would be a good idea to make it a goal to ride it after treatment,” said Tom. “But when I was finished all the radiation and chemo, I had difficulty even walking 50 feet, let alone ride a bike.”

Ride the Rideau is The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past

four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6.

This year, Tom bought a bike with a few more gears and has signed up for the 100 km ride.

Tom signed for the 50 km ride in the 2013 edition of Ride the Rideau as a recovery goal “as well as small payback for the great care and treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital,” he said.

For weeks now some Arnprior residents have worried that sewage has spilled into the Madawaska River near the treatment plant and marina. Town staff has called the phenomenon a “naturally occurring process.”

There is only trace amounts of e-coli found in the surface water foam.

Drivers charged after collisions Three charged after raid News - ‘Tis the season for traffic collisions.

The Renfrew OPP, which includes the Arnprior detachment, reports investigating 20 crashes last week, with two charges being laid.

As well two local drivers are facing alcohol and drug charges in two separate Arnprior incidents.

On July 10 a 48-year-old McNab-Braeside man was arrested and charged with driving with over 80 mg of alcohol in his blood.

He was stopped by police on John Street.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 13.

On July 5, a 19-year-old male was stopped by police in a vehicle on Madawaska Street in Arnprior and was charged with possession of a schedule II drug.

DRUG CHARGES

It was one of five drug offences investigated by OPP last week.

On July 8, a juvenile was arrested and charged with having 63 grams of marijuana and failing to comply with this youth disposition order.

On July 6, a 29-year-old male was charged with possession of a schedule II drug.

After another vehicle stop, police charged the 20-year-old male driver with possession of a schedule II drug after allegedly finding him in possession of 28 grams of marijuana.

Among the 243 calls for service last week, four were for domestic disputes.

In one incident, a 43-yearold man was charged with assaulting a peace officer.

In another, an arrest warrant was issued for Cory School, 33, who police say is wanted for numerous offences, including assault causing bodily harm and failing to comply with his probation order and mischief.

on Highland Road home News - Three people are facing pot charges after a raid by police at a Highland Road home in the Waba area in McNab-Braeside last week.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Storm clouds brewing Opinion - Severe weather is becoming commonplace.

And when something becomes common, some people become complacent. Ho-hum.

Just another weather warning.

But think again. From extreme temperatures and drought to high winds and punishing snowstorms, adverse weather carries a high price tag.

Yet for some obscure reason, there are those who still choose to deny climate change.

They point to a handful of scientists who raise doubts, or bogus explanations, or that “the science is not complete� as if that is not the nature of the scientific method.

The Conservative Party of Canada is well out of step with the vast majority of Canadians on the topic. The party’s blind allegiance to Big Oil and its relentless attacks on environmental organizations betrays an unprecedented shortsightedness.

However, there is a small ground of consensus. It is conservative voters who rightly say huge public deficits and debts are an unfair burden on future generations. Left-wing voters say ignoring climate change and the causes of climate change is another unfair burden to leave our children and grandchildren.

Where each side to move some of their indignation to the other side’s concerns, we would all be better off.

One day society will be forced to face the folly of its years of ignorant bliss and neglect.

For some people, there is no life beyond their tiny existence. They don’t care that future generations will pay a steep price indeed.

Ontario emergency management says atmospheric hazards can pose a significant threat to public safety, health, the environment, property and the economy.

Municipalities are encouraged to develop a Severe Weather Emergency Plan but not required to do so since it exceeds the requirements of the current legislated emergency response program. But that doesn’t mean individual citizens can’t be proactive.

Learn about the threats, be prepared, heed warnings when they are issued, help your neighbours, and demand the federal government take the issue of climate change seriously and not restrict its response to after-the-fact aerial tours of devastated communities.

That, or we will be forced to accept the position held by some public intellectuals: Humanity is in the midst of committing collective suicide.

Proposed Official Plan Amendment

MICHAEL RUNTZ

This bee paid dearly for its visit to a milkweed flower.

Butterflies like this Dion Skipper find a milkweed’s sweet offerings irresistible.

The lethal beauty of milkweeds MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way Those insects also store the repulsive chemicals in their bodies and in doing so become unpalatable.

They advertise their distastefulness by wearing bold colours.

Milkweeds attract their pollinators by exuding delightful scents and offering copious sweet nectar.

Recently I visited a large patch of Common Milkweeds and estimated more than a hundred species of insects were visiting their blooms.

Beetles, flies, bees, wasps (including a giant European Hornet), butterflies and moths flitted and buzzed from flower to flower.

There were 15 species of butterflies alone.

All were enjoying the sweet sugar water held in the flowers’ little cups.

However, the floral visitors pay an admission price, one that on occasion can be fatal.

Next to the flowers’ nectar cups are slits between the petals.

At the bottom of each slit lies a pair of pollen sacs held together by a strand.

When an insect’s foot slides into the slit, the sacs clamp onto it.

When the foot is retracted the saddlebags come with it.

When the insect visits another milkweed flower and inserts its foot into a slit from which the pollen sacs have been removed, the saddlebag unclamps and the new flower gets pollinated.

But not all insects have the strength to pull their leg free after it is weighed down with saddlebags, especially if more than one set clamp onto it.

For that reason when you inspect milkweed flowers, you find detached limbs hanging from some of the slits.

Occasionally you even see a small butterfly or fly dangling lifelessly, its leg still imprisoned.

Why do milkweeds kill some of their pollinators?

Well, as each plant bears hundreds of flowers and gets visited by myriad insects, enough pollen gets delivered to easily compensate for any casualties.

The success of milkweeds is testament to this.

To see this ingenious system, just take a closer look at a milkweed flower. But do it soon.

With summer fading fast, the lethal show will not be on display much longer.

Opinion - You know summer is in full swing when fields are alive with wildflowers.

Currently, Ox-eye Daises, Orange Hawkweeds, Chicory, and Purple Vetches are turning open spaces into mosaics of colour.

And milkweed pinks are now being painted onto the living canvases.

Three species of milkweeds grace our area: Common Milkweeds grow in fields and along roadsides; Swamp Milkweeds inhabit wet retreats; the rare Orange Milkweeds live in sandy sites.

Even though they are beautiful native wildflowers, Common Milkweeds have been fallaciously classified as “noxious weeds.”

Most people know Monarch caterpillars eat milkweed leaves.

Actually this is quite a feat for milkweeds are full of cardiac glycosides, a defence chemical that in excessively large doses can affect hearts of large animals.

For small creatures, however, the white latex that issues from a bitten milkweed just tastes extremely bitter and quickly deters further interest in the plant.

In addition to Monarch caterpillars, a handful of other insects have beaten the milkweed’s defences.

Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillars, Golden Aphids, Milkweed Beetles and Milkweed Bugs also safely dine on milkweeds.

The purpose of Official Plan Amendment No. 5 is to add a new General Development Policy to Section 14.0 of the Official Plan that generally supports the establishment of secondary residential units, namely garden suites, as well as, secondary dwelling units within existing dwellings. The policy will set out general criteria that such units must meet and would apply to all lands within the Township. It is proposed however, that requests for such uses would still require a site-specific zoning by-law amendment so that Council may consider the setting, factors and constraints to ensure that the additional residential unit is appropriate for the specific site. Subsection 16.8 –Temporary Uses would also be updated to permit “granny suites” for a period of 20 years instead of 10.

Regional plan would force Valley municipalities to pay for city roads Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Commuters from towns outside Ottawa are straining the city’s roads and infrastructure and Ottawa councillors are looking to the province to create a plan for them to help pay those costs.

The infrastructure help could come by way of what’s called a Places to Grow plan, said Ottawa Coun. Stephen Blais, who introduced a mo-

tion to ask the province to draft such a plan for eastern Ontario. On June 25 council unanimously approved his request to send a letter to the province asking for the plan.

“What we see in eastern Ontario is that we’ve got a lot of growth in Rockland, Kemptville, Carleton Place and Arnprior – the smaller communities on the outskirts of the city – which very much used to be rural communities, but are now transforming ef-

fectively into suburbs of the city,” said Blais, who represents the Cumberland ward.

As growth booms in those smaller towns, more people are coming into Ottawa for work and to shop. But the construction of new homes in Carleton Place, for instance, doesn’t send any development-charge money to Ottawa to help pay for the roads those residents will drive on, Blais said.

“When we build a big

subdivision in Orléans that needs roads and transit to get people to work, we have those mechanisms there, but if they are 10 minutes down the road in Rockland, we don’t see the same benefits,” Blais said.

“We are one region. We need to realize that. Ottawa is the centre and the heart of that region, where most of the employment is and will most likely continue to be for the foreseeable future. We need to plan our region appropriately,” he said.

The idea is bound to go over like a lead balloon in some municipalities surrounding Ottawa, councillors agreed.

North Grenville Mayor David Gordon confirmed that, saying smaller municipalities already have more challenges and a much smaller tax base than Ottawa.

“So they’re crying ‘poor me,’” Gordon said. “Ottawa wants more of the pie ... and to hell with the rest of us. Is that fair?”

Rural municipalities are the “lifeline” of Ottawa, sending workers into the city to help fill jobs, he said.

Gordon said he’s open to discussing common transportation solutions, but anything that would redirect some of those scarce tax dollars away from local projects in the Kemptville area would be a non-starter.

Ottawa’s planning committee chairman Peter Hume said while some municipalities in the region will balk at the Places to Grow plan, others might be on board.

“If you’re in Rockland, Smiths Falls, Arnprior, you’re probably not going to want one of these,” Hume said. “Further down the 401, in eastern Ontario, it’s a mechanism to create an economic development agency ... So with a growth plan can come those other structures that help not only in planning but in things like economic development.”

Hume deemed Blais’ idea “great,” “fabulous” and “excellent.”

He said staff from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs have been “very positive towards the idea” in the past when he has approached them about it. But the idea would need to

start with direction from politicians at the provincial level before that staff could actually get to work on it, Hume said.

“They need some direction from the minister to say ‘Yes, this is what we want to do,” he said.

Through a spokesman, the minister of economic development, employment and infrastructure, Brad Duguid, said he would be open to discussing the idea with Ottawa.

“The province would be happy to meet and discuss growth challenges and opportunities in the Ottawa area,” the minister’s spokesman, Patrick Searle, wrote in an email.

In Blais’ mind, an eastern Ontario plan would focus on distributing funding for transportation and transit projects in a more regional manner.

“GO Transit and the GO train system are prime examples,” Blais said, adding that a regional transit opportunity would be a great amenity to investigate for eastern Ontario. “I think that probably makes a lot of sense as long as everyone is paying their fair share,” he said.

News - It started with a blessing, a Champagne bottle smashing against the starboard, and a song from Gail Gaven with dozens joining in.

That sounds like a typical Saturday night in the Valley, but instead it was the kick-off to the new Quyon Ferry, a cabled, soon-to-be-battery-operated boat capable of shipping up to 21 vehicles in one crossing.

The boat, with a deck that spans 120 feet in length, then transported many of owner Don McColgan’s family, friends, and project helpers to the legion in Quyon for speeches, food, and a celebration last Thursday, July 10.

McColgan laughed along with all jokes about the project taking 10 years to complete and even added in a few of his own – “You wouldn’t want to hire me by the hour� – but grew serious and even poignant when it came time to give thanks.

He thanked those that built the boat, the politicians that helped secure grants and clear red tape, the port authority volunteers, and his employees. His voice wavered when it came time to thank his nephews, including Harold McKenny who lost an arm in an accident on the construction site almost a year ago to the day.

Normally a man of few words even fewer displays of emotion, he then thanked his children and

especially his wife, the thought of whom nearly brought him to tears. “I have put all of you through so much,â€? he said, reading from a prepared statement. “But you believed in me and supported me through all of it. Even when I was short tempered‌ I love you and I thank you, Ruby.â€?

THE GRANT BEATTIE

Perhaps the second most important person at the event isn’t even alive anymore. McColgan, fulfilling a decades’ long pledge, name his boat after someone he describes as “No finer man I’ve met� – the late Grant Beattie.

Beattie began doing repairs on the ferries in 1962 and kept helping out until few years before he died at age 94 in 1995.

He was a jack-of-all-trades, a farmer, sawmill owner, plumber, and all things in between. He was also a teacher to young McColgan, who never forgot the invaluable lessons passed down.

Beattie’s grandson Brian took great pride and pleasure in sharing stories about his grandfather who was from Bristol, Que. “I wish he were here for this,� Brian said. “But I know if grandpa were alive he’d be down in the (engine room). He wouldn’t be in the limelight.�

El-Chantiry. During the crossing, he talked about the literal and metaphorical connection the ferry brings to two of Canada’s four founding provinces. “These ferries have been bringing people back and forth for over 100 years,� El-Chantiry said. “All people along both sides

are related. That’s the nice thing about this. And it brings more economic infrastructure to our backyard. That never hurts.�

From Ferry Road near Fitzroy Harbour, departure times are 10, 30 and 50 minutes after the hour. The cost is $8 per car, up from the 50 cents per two horses back in the day.

Area author to launch first children’s book July 20 Emlyn and the Gremlin includes message of awareness about alternative families Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Local author Stephanie Kain is preparing to launch her first children’s book this Sunday, July 20.

Emlyn and the Gremlin is the first in a three-book series that follows young girl Emlyn and her Great Dane Moose as they’re visited by a friendly gremlin.

It’s a fun rhyming children’s story with colourful drawings and a subtle message of awareness; Emlyn just happens to have two moms.

“I wanted to write a book that would represent our family because looking through the children’s library, where I used to work, and Chapters, there were not a lot of books that contain alternative families in a natural way,” said Kain, who is publishing the Emlyn series under the penname Steff F. Kneff.

“I’ve bought up every book that has mommy, momma and me; there are no books that just happen to have two moms or two dads. And that’s really where the gap in the literature came for me.”

STEPHANIE KAIN Kain, who also writes adult novels under the penname Stevie Mikayne, and her wife Nancy just celebrated the first birthday of their daughter, Emlyn.

“The whole neighbourhood came,” said Kain, who lives in Dunrobin.

“It’s good for her to have a community.”

And just like in her family, she wants the focus of her book to be on the child.

“I don’t want to focus on the difference; I don’t want to focus on the two parents in the children’s book. I want it to be about the child who happens to have two moms,” Kain said.

“The child is the focus, just like in every other family – the child is the focus of the universe.”

Kain decided to write the series to help promote awareness about alternative families. Her biggest fear – just like any other parent – is that her child may be bullied.

“There are different things we have to face on a daily basis and most of that is just a lack of understanding and the assumptions,” said Kain. “It is (exhausting) but for me the idea of my daughter going to school and being bullied is worse; so I’ll do whatever work needs to be done in the meantime to introduce the concept into the mainstream.”

STEPHANIE KAIN/SUBMITTED

From left, Nancy and Stephanie Kain pose with their daughter Emlyn.

Kain will launch her first children’s book ‘Emlyn and the Gremlin’ with a book reading at Events in Style on July 20.

If the concept of alternative families is introduced in a natural way, then it no longer becomes “weird,” said Kain. Emlyn and the Gremlin is aimed at children aged three to eight, and Kain is hoping the book will be picked up by local libraries and schools.

“If (children are) in a story hour, in their preschool years, and there was a two-mom family featured, there’s an example of that … Then it doesn’t become something to be ridiculed,” she said.

“I think because we decided to have a child, I feel responsible for her well-being and I think all parents feel that way.”

The launch for Emlyn and the Gremlin will be held Sunday, July 20, at Events in Style, at 107 Murray St. in Ottawa. The event runs from 2 to 4 p.m. with a book reading by Kain, tea and treats.

The second book in the series is planned for a September release, followed by the third book in December.

“The bottom line is we really enjoy our family. We want other people to see that we’re just a normal family,” said Kain, adding with a laugh, “We do spend a lot of time vacuuming Cheerios from the couch cushions.”

hardiest roses in the province. “There are so many different varieties,â€? he said, ticking off the names of climbers, bushes, and low-growing roses; those that look like the traditional cuttings people can buy in the supermarket and those that look exotically different; small blooms the size of a thumbnail and large blooms the size of a ďŹ st; Canadian roses and those that were ďŹ rst planted in Europe in the 1800s. “The shape and variety of the owers and the leaves are quite signiďŹ cant,â€? said Dallas. “These are all grown from cuttings on their own roots ‌ They’re all grown locally, tested on the farm. If they don’t grow properly, I won’t sell them.â€?

Dallas’ wife, Sue Husolo, often takes photographs of the roses, posting them on the nursery’s Facebook page and answering questions. “Spending your day with fragrant owers is a really great way to spend your time,â€? she said. “(A) misconception people have about roses is that they’re formal. They grow wild.

They just bloom and they’re happy.�

The only maintenance Dallas affords his owers is a mixture of organic fertilizer he mixes himself – horse manure and wood chippings – and a spray of dish soap to help keep the bugs away.

Galetta Rose Nurseries is open Fridays from 1 to 6 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and people are always welcome to drop in and say hello.

plans to run his own ower shop. “I just sort of wandered into it,â€? said Dallas. Formerly employed in the high tech sector, he taught himself most of what he knows about growing gardens. “It was so ugly here,â€? he said. “There wasn’t a tree in sight.â€?

So he rolled up his sleeves and set about making the property beautiful.

Dallas planted every tree save one next to the old log house that ďŹ rst caught his eye three decades ago.

And in the early years he grew owers of all types; but he developed a special fondness for roses.

His mother – a proper English woman, he said – told him he must plant roses on his barren property.

So Dallas read up on the owers, experimenting to ďŹ nd the hardiest species that would survive the harsh winters and last through the summer droughts; those that didn’t need special treatment to stay alive. “I got to like roses more and more,â€? he said.

And as word of the little rose nursery grew, his business bloomed.

chair Bob Michaud.

“Some key areas for expenditure in the 2014–2015 budget are special education, information technology (IT), early years education, health and wellness, and professional development,” he added in a news release issued by the school board.

“The total budget is $62,012,981, of which 95 per cent, or $58,747,562, will come from grants.”

A projected deficit of 0.8 per cent will be covered by board reserves, he explained.

In the area of IT, the board will complete its fibre optic installation project in 2014– 2015.

The work will see a highspeed fibre optic cable providing robust, fast and stable internet service to schools across the system.

Funds in the amount of $50,000 will be invested in increasing the wireless platform within schools, along with $90,000 to purchase mobile devices for classrooms, including both tablet and laptop technologies.

INFORMATION APP

A new mobile app for the board will provide information about schools, buses and various board programs to students and families using a mobile phone or social media.

“We are investing in other exciting projects as well, including spreading pockets of technological excellence across our entire system,” said Michaud.

“This budget will also maintain its efforts for the academic growth and lifelong learning of our students through programs such as collaborative inquiry and learning in mathematics and early primary collaborative inquiry, which help to increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes.”

In 2014–2015, the board will also complete the five-year rollout of full-day kindergarten (FDK), and add five early childhood educators to the early years program staff.

Several capital projects are tied to the FDK program, including a new kindergarten classroom at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Petawawa along with an additional classroom and meeting spaces, and expanding St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Pet-

awawa for two new Kindergarten classrooms and two primary classrooms.

In addition to a new kindergarten classroom, the construction project at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Douglas includes a new front office and a new library in partnership with the Admaston Public Library Board.

At St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School in Renfrew and St. Mary’s Catholic School in Deep River, space will be retrofitted to accommodate a licensed child care within the school.

The child care centre will also provide a before and after school program for students.

“Several capital projects in our budget will help us to meet the needs of specific schools to expand classroom space,” said Michaud.

“As well, we have some exciting programs and projects in the works to assist working families with high-quality before- and after-school care.”

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Special education funding will account for a significant portion of the Board’s budget at $8.9 million, with $7.7 million of that supported by grants and other revenue.

“The board welcomes the positive impact of the increase in provincial funding for our Special Education programs,” said Michaud.

“This is a vital part of our programming. It allows all students at all levels to achieve their personal best in a supportive and welcoming environment.

“A grant increase this year will ensure that we can con-

tinue to offer this very necessary support, and provide further services to those with high needs.”

MENTAL HEALTH

The board will also continue to focus on the health and wellness of its students with Ministry funds for the Mental Health Lead position in 2014–2015 and will maintain partnerships with the Phoenix Centre, Family and Children’s Services, Addictions Treatment Services and the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre to make front-line services available to ensure the health and well-being of students across the RCCDSB. A $91,000 investment in the Board Leadership Development Strategy and New Teacher Induction Plan is aimed at providing an extensive mentorship program and other supports and training to new teachers, early childhood educators, educational assistants and administrators.

“Operating funds in the 2014–2015 budget have been allocated to several areas of high need as identified in the annual Board Improvement Plan for Student Well-being, Engagement and Achievement,” Michaud said.

“Our board is determined to offer our students the best opportunities for success.

“We also want to provide them with a well-grounded understanding of their role as Catholics in the community, and the confidence to become leaders in social justice and citizenship,” Michaud said.

“I believe our 2014–2015 provides the basis for achieving those goals.”

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Kindergarten grads entertain their fans The kindergarten students at McNab Public School entertained a packed gymnasium of family and friends after receiving their diplomas declaring they are moving up into Grade 1. Above the young students sing their hearts out the delight of the crowd. Left, student emcees for the ceremony are Marley Blok, left, and Zoe Van Sickle. They introduced each student, as photographs of them were flashed on the screen.

The kindergarten students entertain the crowd with their songs and antics on stage during the presentations at their year-end concert June 20.

Like the best things about Summer this deal won’t last long.

Young entrepreneurs get off to a strong start News - A group of enthusiastic young entrepreneurs gathered last week to meet with Enterprise Renfrew County staff and business community mentors for the official launch of the 2014 Summer Company Program.

The evening centered on learning what it takes to be a successful business person, and how to effectively pitch their product or service to potential clients.

Summer Company is a unique program that assists young entrepreneurs with starting and running their own businesses over the summer. The program provides practical hands-on business training, mentoring and the essential business skills they need to thrive.

Summer Company focuses on raising awareness about the importance of entrepreneurship as a viable career option.

Enterprise Renfrew County business consultant Colleen Sadler spoke to the essence of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Young Entrepreneurs Strategy was unveiled in May 2001, and was created to encourage entrepreneurship as a viable career choice for Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth and young adults hold the

key to a bright future in Ontario.

More employment opportunities will result across our province if youth and young adults are given the opportunity to succeed.â&#x20AC;?

This summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses are located in the towns of Arnprior, Petawawa and Renfrew; the townships of Admaston-Bromley, Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards, Laurentian Valley, Madawaska Valley, McNabBraeside; and the City of Pembroke.

Types of businesses are 3D modeling, natural soaps, watercolour and Zantangle art, decorative pillows, up-cycling furniture, hot-dog cart, photography, woodworking, small engine repair, and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party entertainment.

Summer Company provides students aged 15 to 29 the opportunity to actively explore entrepreneurship by developing a business plan and implementing it over the summer. As part of the experience, participants are given hands-on business training and mentoring, and awards of up to $3,000: up to $1,500 to offset startup costs and up to $1,500 upon successful completion of the program.

Summer Company began in 2001 and over 4,400 high school, college and university students, from all ar-

Summer Company has proven itself to be an extremely worthwhile training program for students who want to build their own

businesses and develop entrepreneurial skills.

Summer Company is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Employment and In-

Sign-in policy questioned after campground discussion Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

R0012791357/0717

News - Signing in at a public meeting has a whole new meaning after the issue arose at the Town of Mississippi Mills committee-of-the-whole meeting on June 24.

Kevin Mooder was registered as a delegation during the meeting to give members an update on the White Lake Campground development after a public meeting in March.

Mooder reminded everyone that the development will see the existing area, known as Bennett’s Campground, expand from 40 sites to 200 (currently the Town’s official plan only allows 100) and to about 170 boat slips. As for traffic, he reported that a traffic study had been conducted.

“Certainly there will be more traffic, but the road was built to handle that,” said Mooder.

On boating traffic, he assured coun-

cil that the Ministry of Environment had no concern about the capacity and a number of other concerns such as trespassing and litter would be addressed in the lease agreement between the campers and owners.

A number of residents were in attendance, even though they only found out about the meeting the day before, and committee members voted with two-thirds approval to let them speak.

Local resident Jack Potts thought the design looked more like a subdivision than anything else and thought the numbers should stay the same.

“The Official Plan allows for 100 sites and that’s what I think it should stay at,” he said. “Two hundred sites seems a lot to me and I think 100 sites would still be profitable.”

The question of what signing in means came up at the end of the meeting during the questions period.

Coun. Denzil Ferguson asked staff if they could work on the signing in

over the summer, specifically what it means to sign it.

“How do we get back to these people if they are going to take the time and effort to sign in?” asked Ferguson.

“What privileges does that give you? Does that mean you are going to be advised of future meetings or is that just there because it’s a nice thing to do?”

Committee chair Garry Dalgity added that he always assumed they would be advised.

“In terms of the sign in sheet, it is a record of who was at the meeting,” said town planner Stephen Stirling.

He continued by explaining that he does not know of any other municipality that goes out and updates the people as to where the process is.

“I guess the rule of thumb has always been monitor, track it, stay in touch,” said Stirling. “There is a little bit of responsibility on the residents to monitor the activity that is going on

and be in touch with staff and as part of our policy, in terms of notifying the public, we did get it out on the website a week in advance.”

According to Stirling, there is no additional requirement under the Municipal Act in regards to notification of the public.

“The question is what extent do we communicate with the public? Do I take all communication that comes back in and have to forward it on to them? Do I then send the reports out to everyone who was there? If someone is concerned about a development, do I send them a traffic study, parking study, do I send all that stuff out?” he asked.

Stirling noted that if that is the role, the budgets would need to change for the amount of mailouts required and the staff time would also change.

Ferguson thought staff should not have to send out reports but asked if there was some way to notify people,

Denis Lacroix

noting that a lot of the affected people don’t have computers.

“If it’s council’s desire we will have to amend the policy,”said Stirling.

“People signing that sheet have been told sign this so we can let you know when this is coming back,” said Coun.

Duncan Abbott. “People have been told that, so we really have to work on that policy.”

Stirling reminded the committee that the planning department has an open door policy and encourages people to come and talk to them. He also noted that this is a complex development as it deals with three levels of government: the town, Lanark County and the provincial government.

The developer is now awaiting the county’s decision on its Official Plan update before it will go back to town council for an Official Plan update as well. They also have a number of other plans to be approved before they are allowed to proceed.

News - Willis College, which has a campus in Arnprior, is calling on employment agencies, settlement organizations and job-seekers to contact them immediately for jobs that are available and need to be filled.

Individuals who are willing to undergo some training will be able to fill existing opportunities at Fortinet, a Fortune 500 company that has nearly 35 jobs to be filled within the next two months.

These jobs remain vacant due to the lack of properly trained candidates. Through an innovative partnership between Willis College and Fortinet, students will be given the training needed to fill these high level jobs in the IT sector.

The current lack of graduates and prospective employees for these jobs is partially due to the lack of information about the opportunity. With even more jobs to be created at salaries ranging from $85,000 to $120,000, there is concern that the jobs will remain unfilled.

The opportunities are particularly suited for: â&#x20AC;˘ IT workers with a certain level of training

The tradition of the livestock show continues with dairy, beef, light horse and sheep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to the roots of where our food comes from and for some of us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit nostalgic and a time to get together with friends,â&#x20AC;? said Snedden.

Most of the livestock shows will take place on Saturday and the heavy horse show will be on Sunday.

Snedden said as a farmer it is important kids have some understanding on how farms work and the education barn will have a variety of animals and displays for children.

This year in the education barn they will have sheep, goats, dairy/ beef cattle, horses, other animals and they might even have chicks hatching as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We let the kids touch and pet the animals too,â&#x20AC;? said Snedden.

OPP find some boaters unprepared for emergency News - Over the last few months, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), East Region Marine and SAVE units have been patrolling local lakes and rivers.

Unfortunately, they report several charges have been laid in relation to equipment, licences and operation.

Members of the Snowmobile, All Terrain, Vessel Enforcement (SAVE) unit advise that on too many occasions: • Operators do not have enough life jackets on board. There is a $240

fine plus an additional $100 for each additional life jacket that is missing (per person).

Life jackets can only save a life if it is on and is the appropriate size for each person on board the vessel.

• Lights are not being utilized during reduced periods of visibility and at night time.

• Boats are still being operated and underway with open alcohol on board without the proper vessel requirements (See Liquor Licence Act and Regulations).

• Operators are failing to have proof of competency with them on board their vessels.

Boaters have been missing various pieces of mandatory equipment that must be on board while being operated.

For a full list for your vessel, go to: www.tc.gc.ca/Publications.

BEFORE YOU GO

Safety Tips for Safe Boating: • Make sure you have your safety

equipment; • Inspect your boat; • Monitor the weather; • Make and file an sail plan; • Carry and use official nautical charts; • Plan to avoid local hazards; • Fuel safely; • Be aware of carbon monoxide dangers; • Load your boat properly; • Know the rules of the road and safety on the water; • Know the restrictions that apply

to your craft and the area you are in; • Communicate efficiently in the case of an emergency; • Be prepared to react to an emergency.

“If you are on any type of vessel, please ensure you follow the rules and regulations.

“They are outlined in Transport Canada’s Safe Boating Guide.

“Knowing is surviving and it could save a life,” said Inspector Paul Bedard, East Region Manager, Traffic and Marine.

Citizen self-reporting encouraged by the Ontario Provincial Police News - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has made another move aimed to improve efficiency, this time by encouraging self-reporting of some incidents.

The OPP unveiled last week a new online reporting system that will enable the public to report specific occurrences from a computer.

Citizen self-reporting will offer the public another way to report select incidents that are not

an emergency, by completing a report online at their convenience, an OPP release explains.

The OPP is one of several Ontario police services who have adopted an Internet-based crime reporting system where people can report certain crimes such as lost property, theft from vehicles, and property damage, without an officer having to be dispatched.

Only occurrences that do not involve an in-

jury, a suspect or evidence are applicable.

An officer will attend if requested by the complainant. The OPP expects that citizen self-reporting will be beneficial to both the public and the police.

It will provide a convenient alternative to the citizens of Ontario, while allowing frontline officers to focus their efforts on other enforcement and crime prevention strategies within

our communities.

By providing people with another option for reporting crimes, the OPP is hopeful that more incidents will be reported, resulting in the collection of information to develop future crime prevention initiatives.

To access the system, go to opp.ca.

The OPP can be contacted toll-free anytime at 1-888-310-1122.

At Horton Township Canada Day festivities, family members, including syblings from Arnprior, White Lake and Kinburn, were selling tickets to the July 26 fundraiser for Heather and Ralph Pickard.

Little did they know that by 12:30 p.m. on Canada Day, Heather would be on the operating table at Toronto General Hospital for the start of a 10hour procedure to give her two

new lungs.

In preparation for the surgery, the Pickards have taken up temporary residence in a Toronto apartment, and will have to remain there for several months so her medical condition can be monitored.

The fundraising benefit is to help pay for living expenses incurred in Toronto.

Heather, 68, required the surgery after being afflicted by a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She got a new birthday, just like Canada,â&#x20AC;? said one of her sisters, Nora Snider of Pembroke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gets a new chance at

life. It means sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actually be able to enjoy her retirement,â&#x20AC;?

Snider added, knowing her sister has been sick since retiring three years ago.

Heatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other siblings are Elva Brohart of Arnprior, Glen Styles of White Lake and Clarence Styles of Kinburn.

Meanwhile, family members continue to sell the $10 raffle tickets for the Heather Pickard Benefit taking place Saturday, July 26, at the Horton Community Centre.

The 8 p.m. fundraiser will feature raffles, a silent auction and musical entertainment.

Donations, or ticket purchases, can be made by contacting Elva Brohart of Arnprior (613623-4599), Heatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Cheryl Grenier (613-623-7507) or George/Brenda Thompson of Renfrew (613-432-7149).

was leading and I got into the open, the car absolutely took off,” Connelly said.

“The car was perfect and I could just pound the throttle off the corner and the car would hook up. The problem with leading is that you’re waiting for the shoe to drop.”

So after leading for over half the race, on lap 95 the 31 car spun in turn two and brought the caution out, causing Connelly to lose his straight-away advantage – resulting in a fivelap dash for the checker.

“I had been cruising at the front and saving my brakes and tires just in case, so I knew I had the car, but you never know who’s going to do something stupid and take you out … I brought the field slowly up the backstretch and I hit the throttle in the middle of turns three and four and never looked back,” he said.

“I felt a quick tap on my bumper going into turn one, but that was it – by turn three I had five car lengths on second place and brought the car home for our first win of the year.”

Connelly celebrated like he does for the thousands of students he visits every year with R0012788570

In the second round of the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Championship, not only did Dave Connelly aka ‘Hot Rod’ win the feature he took over first place overall in the 2014 championship chase.

Connelly was back in Arnprior with his race team recently, raising funds for AJ Charbonneau school. He has annually showed off his race car in support of local sports and schools in the Fuel for Kids campaign.

“We’ve been working really hard getting the car the way I want it,” he said after his win June 28. “We had a chance to test at Flamboro before the race and I was really happy – although I qualified sixth, I knew we had a rocket of a car.”

Connelly took the green flag from the sixth spot after qualifying. His 82 was a little loose to start but by lap 40 he had worked his way up into the lead.

Arnprior’s Derraugh named head coach of Canada’s national women’s hockey team Sports – Chalk up another major hockey accomplishment for Arnprior-raised Doug Derraugh Derraugh has been promoted to head coach of Canada’s National Women’s hockey team.

Hockey Canada made the announcement July 7 that Derraugh, a former assistant coach of the team, will succeed former NHL player and coach Kevin Dineen.

The coach of the Cornell University women’s team will be the head coach of Canada’s National team for the 2014-15 season.

That is including the 2014 Four Nations Cup in Kamloops and the 2015 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship in Malmö, Sweden.

Derraugh, 48, was an assistant coach of the 2011-12 Canada’s national team, which won a gold medal

at the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship.

The Arnprior native, the son of Donald and Betty Derraugh of Arnprior, has just completed his ninth season as the head coach at Cornell, where he is the winningest coach in the program’s history.

Derraugh will be joined by assistant coaches Tim Bothwell of Vancouver and Dwayne Gylywoychuk of Winnipeg.

Derraugh and his assistants were selected by Melody Davidson, Hockey Canada’s general manager of national women’s team programs, in consultation with Hockey Canada’s chief operating officer Scott Smith and Hockey Canada’s regional scouts.

“The 2014-15 season begins a new Olympic cycle for the women’s program, and a crucial time to build on

our success in Sochi,” said Davidson in a news release.

“Doug, Tim and Dwayne have all worked with our program and bring great international and club team experience to the team.”

The coaches, in collaboration with Davidson, will select players for Canada’s National Women’s Team Fall Festival in September, as well as naming a group of players for Four Nations Cup. The staff will monitor players throughout the 2014-15 season, before naming a final roster for the 2015 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship, to be held March 28 to April 4.

Canada’s national women’s hockey club will hold a winter camp Jan. 26-30 and a pre-world championship camp March 18-27.

Both will be in Ontario.

Arnprior’s own Doug Derraugh is the new head coach of Canada’s National Women’s hockey club. The 48-year-old head coach of Cornell University’s woman’s hockey team was an assistant coach of the Canadian team’s 2011-12 gold medal winning squad.

Riding the Rideau in honour of Dad

By Tracey Tong

Peter Croft has always been close to his father, Russell.

Despite living 4,000 miles apart – with Peter in Ottawa and Russell in Edinburgh, Scotland – the two men share an interest in fishing, and manage a visit every couple of years.

Peter even followed in the footsteps of his architectural technologist dad, becoming an architect in the UK at 25, just before emigrating to Ottawa with his Canadian wife in 2001.

In 2009, Russell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Fortunately, the disease was caught very early and was highly treatable.

The dreaded disease returned again before last Christmas. This time, the relapse took a huge toll on the formerly strong man.

“The first two fights with cancer wore him down,” Peter said. ‘This time, there were stays at the hospital for a bunch of complications,” Peter said. “His bowel ruptured, and he got very close to death’s door.”

His father, now 68, is “very frail” and housebound, and doctors have told his family that the cancer is beyond cure. “We are obviously devastated,” Peter said of his tightknit family.

Searching for a way to make a difference here at home in Ottawa, Peter signed up for Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6.

ride in his father’s honour.

“I just hope he will live to see me do the ride,” said Peter, himself a father of two.

To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

Peter will be doing the 100 km

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

Grape arbour represented a place of solace in the ‘30s MARY COOK Memories the air to circulate, so it was a most pleasant place to spend an hour at noon time.

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

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

Sport, our old collie stood at the ready, waiting for whatever morsel was left on a

How I longed to listen in on their grownup talk about boys and spooning, and kissing and goodness knows what all ... 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 outside.

When I did have the privilege of having the grape arbour to myself, I would take my dolls out there, and the cavity 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 where I alone would have admission.

There were many quiet times spent in

the grape arbour. With Mother. These were private and special times. She with her sewing basket on the ground beside her chair.

Me sitting beside her listening to tales of her life in New York City 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.

Cancer-free and enjoying each day

By Tracey Tong

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

Stephen Hanlon had the world by the tail. The 21-year-old had just returned from backpacking through Europe when the bomb dropped.

He was diagnosed with testicular cancer which had metastasized to his kidney, lung and lymphatic system.

“The prognosis didn’t look good,” remembered Stephen. “It wasn’t caught early. Everyone expected the worst.”

Everyone except for Stephen’s oncologist, Dr. David Stewart, who worked at The Ottawa Hospital, where Stephen was treated.

“I had a great oncologist,” said Stephen. “He reminded me of Clark Kent, and I thought, ‘I have Superman in my corner, so I’m going to be OK.”

plate. Plopped right on the ground. No need for a dog dish outside.

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

He underwent surgery, 12 weeks of chemotherapy and another extensive surgery. Complications landed him in ICU after going into respiratory arrest where once again the medical staff pulled him through and gave him the best of care.

Fast forward many years and Stephen, who works with his wife Shirley on The Hanlon Real Estate Team at Kellar Williams in Mississauga, has just blown out 50 candles on his birthday cake. He’s an avid fitness fan

and has both a Boston Marathon and an Ironman under his belt. He’s also a proud dad of Jacob (19) and Sean (21).

When his brother, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute Chief Operating Officer Robert Hanlon approached Stephen about raising funds for the Hospital where he had been treated nearly 30 years earlier, Stephen eagerly agreed.

at Ride the Rideau on September 6 to honour them.

In its 5th year, Ride the Rideau has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital in the past four years. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www. ridetherideau.ca.

He still credits his surgeon, Dr. Patrick Murphy, Dr. Stewart (who still works at TOH), and his team of nurses for saving his life.

“They were just remarkable,” said Stephen, who will be riding 100 miles

oday it would serve no meaningful purpose to a farm that is now used for nothing more than to run cattle and with the house long gone.

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

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

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

As soon as the leaves formed, the hollow was immediately turned into an outdoor room.

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

Mother would move a wash stand into the very back of the cavity, and Audrey and she would take enough dishes out of the kitchen cupboard to stock the wash stand for the season. A bake table from the summer kitchen was moved out; two benches from the drive shed, and the big wood swing with the double seats helped fill the cavity, and the grape arbour was ready for business.

We still ate our breakfasts in the house, but unless it was pouring rain, our noon meal was eaten outside. Father tried to tell Mother using the grape arbour as a dining room added to her work load 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 remained on the steaming bowls and platters all the time we were eating. Heaven forbid that a fly would come within a country mile of something that was going into our mouths.

It didn’t matter how hot the day, the grape arbour was always cool inside. The big flat leaves kept the hot rays from penetrating, and if there was a breeze, they still allowed

First Day of Summer Golf Tournament successful Liz Wall Seniors at Home

Lifestyle – We could not have asked for a better day as Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) looked forwarded to hosting our first fundraising golf tournament on June 21.

The ‘First Day of Summer Golf Tournament’ was held at Mountain Creek Golf Course with Mother Nature shining down on everyone. There was much laughter and smiles everywhere from the golfers, to the volunteers, to the golf course staff as well as the organizers.

Thank you everyone.

The team playing under the name Club Groove and representing Valley Heritage Radio finished the 18-hole event with a 63 and were presented with the ‘Green Jackets’ while taking home other prizes donated by Jim’s Restaurant, Sweet & Sassy, Molson’s, Pete & Lou’s Stoves ‘R’ Us , Wes’s Chips and friends of ABMSH. A heartfelt gratitude to agency volunteers for their help in both planning of the event and assistances the day of Nancy Paquette, Lisa Bottomley, Kevin Turcotte, Larry Bertrand, Patti Farr, Mike Farr, Ian Black and Colin Bottomley.

With the generosity of the Business Com-

munity and friends of ABMSH, we were able to present every golfer with a prize.

Thank you PJ’s Restaurant, Gwen Flewelling, Donna Spencer, White Lake General Store, Wes’s Chips, Lisa Bottomley, White Lake Restaurant, Goldbar, Danny Mac’s, Nancy and Gilbert Paquette, Molson’s rep Peter Boudens, Mama Rosa, Pete & Lou’s Stoves ‘R’ Us, Patti Jennings, McCallum’s Restaurant, Priority Wines Home of Fine Wines, First Choice Hair Cutters, Jim’s Restaurant, Sweet & Sassy and Milano Pizzeria.

Our special thanks to Rona/Arnprior Builders Supply for the donation of an Iron round table and chair set, which was raffled off in a package titled ‘Sit Back and Relax’ valued at $500 and also included wine by Priority Wines, wine classes, wine carafe, placemat and flowers donated by a friend of ABMSH. The winner was Rebekah Gunning of Arnprior Special thanks to Jonathan Schaepper, golf pro and owner Mountain Creek Golf Course, for donating a July membership to the Mountain Creek Golf Course. The winner was Elwood Johnston of Arnprior.

Special thanks to Janet E. Dallaire of Altaview Financial Group for her support and donation of prizes for the ‘Closest to the Hole’ competition.

The winners of $25 gift certificates to Danny Mac’s were Deborah Archiblad and Larry Bertrand.

The ‘Hole-In-One’ competition was sponsored

by Island View Retirement Suites with a prize being a Sterling Gas barbecue, but there was no winner.

Thank you to marketing manager Sharon Gray and the staff of Island View Retirement Suites for their partnership in sponsoring the hole-inone competition. Gray was there from beginning

to end, happily providing water and power bars (homemade) to all golfers, not just those registered for the tournament. It was appreciated by all.

Last, but certainly not least, the golfers who took part and who are all the reason behind the success of the day.

Thank you to all those who helped make the tournament a success. It’s a long list.

Hope to see everyone, same place same time, next year.

Another Thursday driver needed for Hot Meals

Cool donation from Golden Valley Seniors Golden Valley Seniors’ president, Jan Tobio, presents a cheque for $1,000 to Arnprior Legion president Harry Hereford at a club meeting to go towards the purchase and repairs of an air conditioner. Hereford thanked club members for their generous donation and invited everyone to attend events planned to raise funds to go toward paying for the new unit.

Lifestyle - Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home is in need of a second Thursday driver for delivery of its Hot Meals on Wheels program.

Hot Meals on Wheels are delivered to clients Monday to Friday between 11 a.m. and noon. The demand for the service is growing, making it necessary for the agency to obtain a second volunteer driver for Thursdays.

Hot Meals on Wheel are delivered to seniors 60 years of age or older, adults who are chronically ill, adults living with a disability, adults convalescing from surgery or illness, and adults undergoing medical treatments (no matter the age).

The recipients appreciate and need to enjoy a hot meal, so the volunteering of one hour, one day a week is more important than ever.

“Please give it some thought” and then contact program co-ordinator Lisa Bottomley at 613-623-7981, via email at lisabottomley@ cssagency.ca or drop by the office – 106 McGonigal St. West, Unit 1, Arnprior - to pick up an application, urges Seniors at Home officials.

Volunteer applications can also be downloaded from the website www.csssagency.ca.

“Thank you in advance for your consideration and involvement.”

Mississippi Mills welcomes new fire chief Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – There’s a new chief in town.

After 17 years as Mississippi Mills fire chief and a total of 45 years of fire service, Art Brown has officially passed the reins on to Pascal Meunier.

Meunier officially started on June 16 and Brown’s last day on the job was June 27.

On his second day on the job he addressed Mississippi Mills town council at their June 17 meeting.

“I am very honoured to be selected as chief and I am looking forward to meeting everyone,” Meunier told council. “I am very lucky to be working with Art this week and all of the firefighters and residents are all very welcoming.”

Becoming a fire chief is his dream job.

“This was definitely a career goal. I am very excited and fortunate to be in this community and be the chief,” said Meunier.

Firefighting is in his blood as his grandfather was a firefighter and his father retired as a volunteer deputy

chief.

“I always watched them growing up. I had an interest to follow them,” said Meunier.

Meunier grew up in Hearst in northern Ontario, so he is familiar with the small town lifestyle.

He started as a volunteer firefighter in 1994 and while managing a couple of McDonald’s restaurants, he completed all of the necessary courses at the Ontario Fire College in Gravenhurst.

He is also working on obtaining his Bachelor of Public Safety Administration from the Justice Institution of British Columbia via online courses and some travel out west.

For the past 12 years he has been working as a full-time firefighter in Smiths Falls and has been the fire prevention officer since 2005.

As to why he left Smiths Falls the answer is simple. “Career wise, I was ready to take the step to chief,” said Meunier.

“Mississippi Mills has a really good reputation, everyone is well trained, nice and everyone wants to work as a team,” said Meunier.

He and his fiancée, Lisa Murphy,

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

New Mississippi Mills fire chief Pascal Meunier, left, shakes hands with outgoing fire chief Art Brown. Meunier’s first day on the job was June 16 and Brown officially finished June 27. live in Franktown. However, they are looking to re-locate to Mississippi Mills.

Meunier is still working in a portable office and as he sits in the chief’s chair, behind the desk adorned with colourful firefighter toys and picture frames, Brown looks on.

“Art is very well known and well respected. I know I have very big shoes to

fill,” said Meunier. “I am lucky enough to follow him this week and see how things work. He has nicknames for everyone and I got to learn the names.”

Brown reminds him that he will not be far if he has any questions. “I’m not leaving town,” said Brown.

Brown’s advice to Meunier is simple.

“Be yourself and get involved in

the community. Get out and know the community,” said Brown. “Don’t try and be me. Pascal will bring something different than me.”

Brown has known him for a number of years and has gotten to know him a bit better this past week.

Fire prevention will continue to be a key focus, and Meunier will continue to work in the community on getting that message out.

He also wants to focus on continued training and making sure the department keeps up with the changing technology. But he says he has no big changes planned as of now.

“I believe it’s important that I know the department before I make any changes,” said Meunier. “It’s going to be business as usual and I want to see how the fire department works.”

He is planning on meeting one-onone with all of the firefighters to get to know them, their families and what they are all about.

“I don’t know them all yet and I know I will have to earn their respect.

It will take time to build relationships but it makes it easy because everyone is very friendly, welcoming and professional,” Meunier said.

Opinion - For those of you who are thin and apparently fit, think again!

Visceral fat, the fat that you cannot see, that resides in and around our organs, is just as unhealthy as being overweight.

Garbage in garbage out! It is as simple as that.

This is not a just about exercising the fat away.

Most thin people are vulnerable because of their diets.

Besides living a clean lifestyle such as drinking in moderation, have no more that three cups of coffee per day, managing stress, getting eight hours of quality sleep per night and exercising moderately at least three times a week, the most important rule is to stay away from junk food and processed foods (bagged, boxed or canned).

Nothing good comes from processed foods. Our bodies were not designed to digest and assimilate food that is not in its natural state.

Ask your server to go easy on the salt. Have your animal proteins baked, poached, roasted or grilled.

Stay away from sauces that are loaded with fat and sodium and go easy on the desserts.

If you must have a treat, at least split it with someone at your table.

Fast food joints are the worst culprits in the fight against the bulge since deli meats are packed with sodium, fat and chemicals.

Take the one-week challenge to eat better.

Start off by working your way through the fruit and vegetable section.

Skip the deli and freezer sections. Purchase some lean meats like pork loin.

No mater how busy you are, anyone can learn to prepare and serve a healthy home-cooked meal in as much time as it would take to prepare a prepackaged meal.

No excuses! Go ahead I dare you!

Remember â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you have everything to lose and nothing to gain.

TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park makes it safer to cross streets for people with walkers, wheelchairs and scooters.

The sidewalks and roads at the site have bumps and grit in certain areas to let people with disabilities know that they are approaching another roadway or sidewalk.

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

Taxis and Para Transpo are able to drop people off close to the stadium and seating at the site has been designed to allow for everyone to sit together with plenty of space.

Accessible washrooms have also been added to the football stadium.

Since the beginning the redevelopment of Lansdowne has been in keeping with its historic role as a gathering place for the community while modernizing its facilities and uses for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents.

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

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

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

The current Lansdowne construction project employs the latest technology to accomplish new heights in creative design, engineering and energy conservation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the ďŹ rst time that the site has drawn attention.

Innovative construction techniques used in the construction of the Civic Centre actually were a tourist attraction.

In the summer of 1966, the large beams required for the $8.5M Civic Centre began arriving at Lansdowne Park. The immense beams, fabricated by the Dominion Bridge Company in Montreal, were too large to transport by truck so they were ďŹ&#x201A;oated up the Ottawa River and down the Rideau Canal by barge.

As there was only one beam per barge, the ďŹ&#x201A;otilla attracted the attention of onlookers as the beams arrived and were put into place.

Leave the car bike or walk the paths of Lansdowne

Building Lansdowne Dedicated team creates the new Lansdowne David Johnston

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

DAVID JOHNSTON

Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly.

Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never been easier and a new series of pathways make navigating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansdowne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot.

Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lansdowne and will take you to the various buildings, outdoor event spaces and parkland.

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

The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces.

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

Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway extension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horticulture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events.

Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot.

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

The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

R0012798471-0717

City of Ottawa Project Manager Marco Manconi surveys progress on the 18-acre urban park adjacent to the new TD Place stadium and arena.

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

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

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

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

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

DAVID JOHNSTON

be located along Holmwood Ave. Native heritage is also built into Lansdowne and Aberdeen Square. The interlocking stone that stretches across the square has been patterned to resemble Algonquin basketry and food vessels.

This interpretive element is inspired by the care and respect paid to food by Algonquins and is set within the heart of the Ottawa Farmer’s Market.

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

Seven Trees of Significance surround the Teaching Circle. Identified by botanical markers and highlighted by interpretive panels, identifying and describing their significance to Algonquin culture, the seven trees are: Eastern White Cedar, Paper Birch, Trembling Aspen, Sugar Maple, Basswood, White Spruce, and Tamarack.

The Civic Demonstration Gardens, to be planted in spring 2015, will feature an ethno-botanical garden to feature plant species significant to the Algonquins of Ontario that are of ceremonial, medicinal or practical use.

All of these features are intended to not only beautify the square, but also to help educate visitors about Algonquin history, culture and art.

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

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

Work is underway to restore this landmark and to make it an architectural anchor for Lansdowne. It will retake its role as a place for community to gather, through farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prairie Style to Canada in this buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands.

The building has undergone considerable change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it has remained a public

LANSDOWNE n s a ep s i h e t d o ro

One of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Building. It was also one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past.

The Aberdeen Pavillion stills stands out as an Ottawa landmark in the newly re-designed Lansdowne. With its impressive sweeping roof, dome, corner towers and classical details, the building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; designed by Ottawa architect Moses C. Edey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a centrepiece at Lansdowne. The century old building will serve a wide variety of community uses.

DAVID JOHNSTON

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

Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities, the seed fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success soon outgrew smaller venues. In 1959, the show

moved to Lansdowne Park and for the ďŹ rst time, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running agricultural trade show had a permanent location.

With more space at the Lansdowne Park location, large farm equipment manufacturers soon saw the opportunity to set up displays of new farm machinery. This became a major attraction for visitors to the show in conjunction with the OVSGA. The show expanded to six exhibit areas including the entire Civic Centre ďŹ&#x201A;oor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; widely known as the Cattle Castle.

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

The OVFS remains a spring tradition for the agricultural and rural communities. With over 300 exhibitors, the show includes displays by livestock breed associations, 4-H exhibits, arts and crafts, farm toys and books, tools, equipment, and the fundraising Pedigreed Seed Sale for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Building Lansdowne Lansdowne stands proud of its war support record Lansdowne Park has been a gathering place for well over 100 years but three times in the last century it served as a gathering place for troops going to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign military missions.

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

From 1899 to 1901 Lansdowne was used as a staging site for troops of the Lord Strathconaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horse. Soldiers were encamped on the site before shipping out to what is today South Africa to join the British Army against the Dutch South Africans, known as Boers.

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

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

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

With an outpouring of patriotic support, Canada mobilized quickly. Less than two weeks later on August 23, 1914, the new Princess Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the ďŹ rst time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the ďŹ rst Canadian infantry unit to head overseas and arrived in France on December 21, 1914.

Following the declaration of war, about 3,000 applicants were recruited and by August 19 a full complement of 1,098 had been selected. Captain A An drew dr ew H amilton Gault, Gaault, a prominent Montreal Andrew Hamilton

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

Military connections to Lansdowne were wellestablished by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to ďŹ ght overseas. It became home to The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada had already begun to mobilize and was at full strength of 807 within one week. The 1st Battalion embarked for overseas on December 16, 1940 and arrived in the UK on Christmas Eve. The 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards deployed in 1941. Both regiments served in multiple campaigns during the war.

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

Building Lansdowne

Lansdowne, History in the Making for our future.

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

I wonder what the next ‘first’ at Lansdowne will be.

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

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

CITY OF OTTAWA

By Mayor Jim Watson For the past 146 years, Lansdowne Park has been one of Ottawa’s most important civic sites. It has hosted agricultural fairs, exhibitions, festivals, concerts and sporting events. At Lansdowne, the Silver Seven brought the Stanley Cup to Ottawa, the 67’s the Memorial Cup, and the Rough Riders the Grey Cup. Lansdowne has been the site of many firsts, for our city and our country. The electric stove, light bulb and telephone all made their Canadian debut here in Ottawa, at Lansdowne.

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

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

Football legacy

DAVID

JOHNST ON

WA F OTTA

CIT Y O

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

The Ottawa RedBlacks are the newest addition to the Canadian Football League. Though the team has a new name, it still maintains the traditional colours that link it to a long and rich history.

The Ottawa Football Club came into existence in 1876 and alternated between the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Unions. After being suspended for rough play in 1897, the Ottawa Football Club reorganized itself into the Ottawa Rough Riders, and adopted the red and black colours of the Canadian Regiment in the Spanish-American War. In 1909, the Rough Riders moved their games from Metropolitan Grounds to Lansdowne, where the team called home until it folded in 1996. However, when the team won its first Grey Cup in 1925 and its second in 1926, they were known as the Ottawa Senators. The team had changed their name the previous year after amalgamating with St. Brigid’s, which played in the city league. In 1927, the team reverted back to the Ottawa Rough Riders.

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

Football made a brief return from 2002 to 2005 with the Ottawa Renegades.

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

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

In 1904 the Ottawa Hockey Club, later the Senators and also known as the Silver Seven, were the defending Stanley Cup champions and considered the premier hockey team in Canada. Ottawa had a reputation as a rough team and featured such stars as the Gilmour brothers, Bouse Hutton, and Frank McGee. Three teams challenged Ottawa that year for hockey’s Holy

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

The Ottawa team won the Stanley Cup on home ice at the Aberdeen Pavilion that year and again in 1905. Each player received a pocket watch to commemorate their victory. One of the watches is held at the City of Ottawa Archives. Many old arenas, like the Boston Garden and Detroit Olympiad, no longer stand. But like the pocket watch, the Aberdeen Pavilion still captures the glory of hockey’s early years.

Beavertails staff make tasteful visit to county council Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - BeaverTails founders Grant and Pam Hooker hesitated when first approached with the idea of declaring Killaloe the official birthplace of their hugely popular deep-fried pastries.

But one conversation led to another, and now local residents and visitors can buy BeaverTails in the village of about 600 people that is the official birthplace of BeaverTails.

Founded after the Hookers were introduced to the beavertails recipe through Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother, the business had its roots in nearby Brudenell where the Hooker couple settled some 40 years ago with their two children.

The company now has a global reputation that has reached Saudi Arabia, Japan, soon the United States and about 100 locations in Canada, where one of their most popular items on the menu is the Killaloe Sunrise.

Killaloe Sunrises were provided in free half-size portions to Renfrew County councillors and staff members prior to the June 25 meeting of county council.

It was a chance to enjoy the Beavertails and be reminded that Killaloe is now the second BeaverTails franchise in the county. There was already one in

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Beavertails co-founder Pam Hooker, left, and Killaloe BeaverTails franchise owner Kim Barnes serve up a Killaloe Sunrise beavertail to Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green. County council and staff members were treated to free half-portions of beavertails prior to the June 25 meeting of county council.

Pembroke before Killaloeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise coincided with ceremonies May 12 to name the village as the birthplace of

Beavertails.

The Hookers, who have homes in Brudenell and Ottawa, attended the

County of Renfrew headquarters to host a free serving of beavertails along with Killaloe BeaverTails franchise

owner Kim Barnes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Mr. and Mrs. Hooker, thank you very much for coming today and treating county council and the staff with beavertails,â&#x20AC;? said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Mayor Janice Vineskie Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thank you, Mr. Warden, for allowing me to organize this, so they could come and show the people of Renfrew County what a beautiful, wonderful business and beautiful treat this is.â&#x20AC;?

Co-founder Grant Hooker, after being introduced to county council, introduced local BeaverTails staff and indicated that BeaverTails events can be arranged by visiting www.beavertails.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The branding of Killaloe as the birthplace of BeaverTails is going well,â&#x20AC;? said Hooker. We believe that it is bringing people to Killaloe as a snack destination and of course that draws traffic into the hardware store, the liquor store and to other retailers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the theory behind it,â&#x20AC;? added Hooker, who acknowledged Madawaska Valley Mayor Dave Shulist (who was born in Renfrew) as the father of this BeaverTails-branding concept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He twisted my arm relentlessly, in charming Kashubian fashion.â&#x20AC;?

IN MEMORIAM

POWELL, Harry Harry Powell: athlete, outdoorsman, gardener, people person and priceless Ottawa Valley character died on July 6, 2014. He laughed and joked with his sister-in-law, Rose Costello, and his brother-in-law, Father Mike Costello minutes before he died. He ended his life as he lived it: fully and with laughter right to the last punch line.

Harry was hilarious. His sense of humour and quick wit never let him down and he was never at a loss for words. His jokes and tales entertained everyone around him. Harry had a positive, fighter spirit that kept him determined to beat the odds. And beat them he did.

Harry was born in Mansfield, just outside Arnprior, on April 15, 1921. He lived his full 93 years in the Arnprior area beside the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers.

Harry was a nature lover who was happiest near water. His dad, the late Richard Powell, was a cook in a lumber camp. His mother, Rebecca Harten, was the cook and “Mamma” to Oblate Novitiates in the building on the Ottawa River where the Galilee Centre is now located. Harry came by his love of good cooking honestly.

Harry had four siblings, three of whom died before him: Anna Mae (Bernie McMullen), Dick (Beryl), and Eddie (Charlotte). His sister, Arvella (Jack Taylor), was his dear friend and they spent several years sharing a table and many memories at the Arnprior Villa. Harry married Marjorie Costello in 1950 and they had Christine (Brian Cavan) and Philip (Diane Blunt) who live in Ottawa. Harry has four grandchildren, Neil and Kate Cavan and Beth and Drew Powell and many nieces and nephews who so enjoyed his sense of humour. He shared 17 years of marriage with Viola Sullivan.

Harry worked for 45 years at Kenwood Mills/Huyck Canada, an Arnprior wool blanket and felt-producing factory. Harry served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War II in British Columbia on coastal patrol. He had a terrible accident at Kenwood in 1964, almost losing his right arm in a carding machine. Harry’s incredible stamina and determination pushed him through many surgeries to graft skin and bone from his own body to make a new arm. Doctors at the Civic Hospital pioneered a number of grafting techniques on Harry’s arm, and despite all odds, Harry surpassed every limitation doctors placed on what he’d be able to do with that badly damaged limb. Harry had a number of close calls with cars, ATVs and chain saws. With each accident, he proved again and again that he was strong as an ox and stubborn as a bull overcoming pain, healing and beating any injury or illness that tried to keep him down. He learned to drive in 1969 after buying a piece of land on the Ottawa River near Sheenboro and Fort William, Quebec. The cottage and properties there were his pride and joy.

He also owned a cottage near Calabogie on the Madawaska River. Harry was happiest by water, puttering in the bush and making anything grow. He prided himself on the size of his woodpile and he loved to build huge fires in any wood stove or fireplace he owned.

Harry was a star football player at Arnprior District High School but never cared much for book learning. Harry loved to work – the more physical, the better. His dear friend and mentor, Alex Staye, put him to work as a bouncer at the Mayfair Dance Hall and Harry used the boxing skills he learned in the air force to keep the peace at post-war dances throughout the Ottawa Valley. In the mid-1960s he began a decades-long service bouncing community and high school dances in Arnprior. Generations of young people knew Harry as a fair but strict lad when it came to drinking, drugs or disturbing the peace at a party.

Harry loved his food. He grew it, hunted it, fished it and never missed a meal if he could help it. He was known at the Villa and the Grove as “two scoops Harry”; kitchen staff made sure he got a double helping of mashed potatoes. A day without his “puhdatos” was a day without sunshine. And how Harry loved the sun. He rose with it and delighted in giving everyone around him a rough time about what time they were up. He was an early riser and hard worker, but also a legendary napper. Harry could nod off at the drop of a hat and wake refreshed and ready to give’er again. Harry’s family always said he had two speeds: high and off. Harry was nothing without his food and good sleep.

Harry was fond of telling people to get out and live life to the fullest. He often told his children, grandchildren and any other audience that you shouldn’t wait for the “golden years” to travel and enjoy life. His last decade threw him many health challenges, but he was a trooper who faced diabetes, shingles and congestive heart failure with a fierce spirit and a determination to “beat that, too”.

Harry and his family appreciate the loving care he received at the Arnprior Villa, his home for over 10 years. He received excellent care from the staff at The Grove in the last five months of his life. Drs. Susanna McCarthy, Cathy Greenough and the various doctors and nurses Harry had in his many trips to emergency and the Arnprior Hospital were outstanding in their care.

Harry was always grateful for the help and support he received and loved to tease and tell jokes to his caregivers.

Any interaction with Harry was punctuated by his quick wit and engaging storytelling. He was a funny man who never failed to make those around him smile and laugh. Harry’s easy smile and positive attitude will long be remembered by all who were lucky enough to know him.

One of Harry’s favourite expressions was, “Never say whoa on a hill.”

He never did.
