WINDY MESS

This Barrhaven couple and many others had their work cut out for them as a wind storm left uprooted trees and left other damage in its wake last Thursday.

After securing his fourth straight seat in Nepean-Carleton on May 2, Pierre Poilievre thought the message from voters was crystal clear.

“It’s a signal that they want us to continue to deliver on results,” the Conservative MP said after addressing the crowd of nearly 100 people at Greenfield’s Pub in Barrhaven.

“Projects like the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge, the rural road improvements in the villages and country-side communities are going to continue to be important. I’m going to continue to work to deliver those results while keeping taxes low at the same time.”

Poilievre earned 54.4 per cent of the vote, ahead of Liberal candidate Ryan Keon who had 25.3 per cent of the vote at press time. Poilievre had more than 35,700 votes with 260 of 296 polls counting.

Keon had 16,196.

NDP candidate Ric Dagenais and Green candidate Jean-Luc Cooke were in third and fourth place with 16.2 and 4.1 per cent, respectively.

The riding also had the country’s highest advance poll turnout.

“I think we’re going to have to work to deliver on the platform commitments that we made,” Poilievre said. “We have to work on balancing the budget in three years and delivering a new tax rate. We have to secure the recovery. Of course we have to work with all political parties in order to achieve those goals.”

Poilievre won 56 per cent of the Nepean-Carleton vote in 2008, 55 per cent in 2006 and 47 per cent in 2004 when he defeated then-Liberal incumPhoto by Daniel Nugent-Bowman bent David Pratt, becoming the youngest member Conservative incumbent Pierre Poilievre salutes the crowd at Greenfield’s Pub in Barof Parliament at the time.

Residents not satisfied by city’s water ban answers

yourottawaregion.com 465115

Local councillors and city staff worked to keep about 200 angry residents calm at the Walter Baker Sports Centre in Barrhaven during a public open house on April 28 to discuss the city’s outdoor water ban currently in effect in Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick.

Beginning at 5:30, angry residents barraged Gloucester South-Nepean Coun.

Steve Desroches and Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder with shouted questions, complaints and general shows of disgust, but as city staff systematically worked through questions, the seething group began to accept the severity of the situation, although they maintained major concerns about details of the ban, which could last until mid-August.

Some of the most visceral complaints concerned the city’s $200,000 budget for a free “top-it-up” program for the area’s 3,000 pools and hot tubs, which will allow residents to receive hauled water from other parts of the city to fill their pools.

One resident pointed out it would usually cost homeowners as much as $300 to hire a private contractor to have their pools filled.

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers explained that the program, which she maintained is “not a perk,” is meant to “mitigate risk.” The city is offering the service as an incentive for residents in the affected area to not fill pools with city water, which could lead to a system failure.

“The reason why you’re paying for these voluntary mitigation measures is because the cost, if we don’t see a reduction in water demand, to bring the system back up and potentially have to deliver potable water to the community is far greater,” she said.

The pool issue was also behind the city’s reason to keep the ban a secret until it was officially announced on Wednesday.

“The real reason is that when you have over 3,000 pools and you come out with this ban with no plan at all, those people will say ‘Screw you, I’m filling my pool.’

And they’re going to fail the system and fail all of us, and that is a big problem.

It’s worth the investment to safeguard our drinking water,” said Harder rather fiercely.

According to the city, the ban issued on April 27 is necessary while the city replaces the broken water main on Woodroffe Avenue, which has been offline since January and replaced by a much smaller temporary back-up system.

The city says winter water demands were met easily on the back-up, but summer water demands are too high to sustain on the temporary system.

If demand goes above what the backup system can supply, the whole system could fail, leaving the community with a boil water advisory or no water at all.

Residents and businesses in affected areas will not be allowed to water their lawns or gardens, fill or top-up their swimming pools with city water, or wash their vehicles. Splash pads and other out-

door water facilities in the region will be closed, and city parks and soccer fields will not be serviced. According to the city, about 80,000 residents will be affected by the ban.

Harder did announce some good news during the meeting. First, the Walter Baker Sports Centre won’t be shut down for maintenance in the spring as usual, as the work has been postponed until October, so residents missing their local splash pads can still use the pool throughout the ban. Furthermore, Harder spontaneously decided to waive all pool fees for residents during the ban.

Later in the evening, Harder read an email off her smart phone announcing that two tractor trailers were on their way to Barrhaven to deliver the first load of extra rain barrels, which were ordered urgently through the area’s three local Your Independent Grocer stores.

Store owners have also reduced rain barrel prices: they usually retail at $80, but they will now be sold at $50 so that residents receive free rain barrels once they submit a $50 rebate to the city.

Despite these concessions, residents asked why the same amount of water that’s given to backyard pools can’t be given to non-pool residents to use on their lawns, which environmental services manager Dixon Weir said is not an option because the city needs to concentrate its resources on the highest risks, such as pools.

Green bins and blue boxes were also considered a major issue, since outdoor water can’t be used to hose them out.

“Garbage cans need to be cleaned regularly,” one resident stated angrily, noting that in the name of water conservation she doesn’t want to waste water rinsing out tins and bottles for her blue box. She asked the city to let affected residents bypass the city’s recycling and green bin programs during the ban, which Weir quickly shut down.

“We encourage you to continue to feed the blue bin, the green bin and black box as those are important environmental goals as well,” he said, adding that residents should certainly ease up on rinsing recyclables if they can.

Ottawa fire chief John deHooge attended the meeting to assure residents that the city’s ability to fight fires in the affected area will remain the same, with a plan to get off the water system as soon as possible and use rural tanker trucks to douse any structural fires that may arise.

City officials said the ban will be strictly enforced, with minimum fines of $500 being issued to offenders, although city staffer Jake Rupert said incidents will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Residents can register for a pool filling online or by calling 311. Water-dependent businesses like garden centres can also register to receive free hauled water, at a cost of about $415,000 to the city.

A second open house was held at the Rideauview Community Centre in Riverside South on Tuesday, May 3.

Poilievre says he’s proud of the work accomplished in Nepean-Carleton From “Poilievre’, page 1 Poilievre said he is proud of providing help to drug addicted youth, improving rural roads and making the quality of life better for soldiers returning home.

He cited the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge is his main priority, a 141-metre structure that is being built over the Rideau River and will connect Barrhaven and Riverside South by spring 2012.

He was responsible for securing the federal government’s $16-million share of the $48million cost, which was split between the three levels of government.

Poilievre added he aims to double the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to $500.

The tax credit – which was the idea of Osgoode resident Anne Taylor – gives families a financial reprieve if they register their children in sports leagues.

The credit would be extended to adults who pay to participate in fitness activities.

“It’s a sign of the enormous contributions the citizens of Nepean-Carleton are making,” he said.

His father Dr. Wilbert Keon – a retired Conservative senator – said that the stars weren’t aligned for his son’s win.

“But I have a lot of respect for the dignity with which he ran his campaign,” he said.

For Dagenais, doubling up on the numbers from the last election was something of which he was proud. “Looking at the size of our campaign this there were smaller numbers,” he said.

But on the bright side, “the numbers almost doubled and that shows the party (NDP) is moving it the right direction.”

Although he finished in fourth place, Cooke felt the election was a momentous one – particularly since Green Party leader Elizabeth May was elected in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

“We have seen a lot of historic things tonight,” he said. “The Greens have their first elected member, we are seeing the Bloc wiped out and amazing things happening with the NDP.

Businesses, day cares shuffle plans in wake of water ban DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Local businesses are now going back to the drawing board after their normal summertime routines have been altered following the City of Ottawa’s announcement to ban all outdoor water use in Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick.

Landscapers, garden centres, day-care centres and summer camps in the area will be the most affected as the city announced on April 27 that it would prepare to replace and fix a broken water main on Woodroffe Avenue, which has been offline since January.

Residents and businesses in affected areas will not be allowed to water their lawns or gardens, fill or topup their swimming pools with city water, or wash their vehicles. According to the city, about 80,000 businesses and residents will be affected by the ban. Splash pads and other outdoor water facilities in the region will be closed, and city parks and soccer fields will not be serviced.

For Cityview Day Care on Longfields Drive, the end result will mean no trips to South Nepean Park this summer.

Cityview operations manager Sandra Landry said the day care’s 18-month-to-eight-year-old children regularly visit the park’s splash pad as a way to cool off on hot summer days.

“If we’re not going to be able to do that, we’re going to have to look at alternative options,” she said. “This has all kind of come up very quickly so we’re still trying to figure out what’s happening. But it will definitely have an impact.”

While staff will be able to take the children to the Walter Baker Sports Centre’s indoor pool, Landry said the outdoor water restrictions will have other detrimental

impacts on the facility.

She said staff will not be able to water the playground grass and the sand in the sandbox – which they often do to prevent dry sand from going in the children’s eyes.

Businesses and residents risk a minimum $500 fine from the city for breaking the ban.

Melanie Bedard, manager of Tiny Hoppers day care centre off River Road in Riverside South, said the water ban is a huge blow to her summer plans for her young clients, who were excited to use the nearby splash pad in warmer weather.

“We were very excited when they opened up the splash pad (at Claudette Cain Park) last year,” she said, noting that she can’t take her day care children to a pool for safety reasons. “It will affect of our programming greatly because we do go the park everyday.”

And it’s not just day cares that will miss the water park.

“The whole neighbourhood got used to using that park all last year, especially with the heat the way it was,” Bedard said. “To have it taken away, it’s an interesting thing. We’re hoping its short lived.”

Bedard and her colleague Diane Billings recognized that a water main broke and the city can’t help the ban.

However, it doesn’t soothe their disappointment.

“It takes away your summer fun,” Billings said. “We wait a long time for summer.”

While day cares are taking the wait-and-see approach, those in the horticulture business are feeling the impacts even more suddenly.

Ken Ross, owner of Ross’ Your Independent Grocer in Barrhaven, said he will likely have to stop selling plants at his garden centre in mid-June rather than the first week of July.

Although his centre opened April 13, the news couldn’t have come at a worse time for Ross as sales only started

to get off the ground a couple days prior to the ban.

“Going forward, we obviously won’t have the volume of sales that we anticipated but that’s something we’re going to have to react too,” he said. “We’ve notified some of our growers that will be looking for some diversion to some other areas that won’t be affected. But we have a lot of local growers that we will stay committed to.”

The store had a 14,000-litre tanker truck delivered to the store by the city, which installed the pump the next day.

Ross said he will now lean toward purchasing droughttolerant plants and moisture retaining soil and mulches so that residents can best comply with the ban. His immediate goal is to hydrate the plants in has in stock to the proper levels.

“The plants in our garden centre will survive,” Ross said. “There’s no doubt that the business will be yet to be determined by our customers’ demands.”

Brookside Gardens will have to operate the same way as well.

The landscape design and construction company will still be able to run its garden centre on River Road because of a well-water system, but that’s only a small portion of their business.

Owner Ric Brooks said about 90 per cent of Brookside’s business comes from landscaping, which he said will likely suffer because of the ban.

“There may be an actual reduction of work done in those areas just because of the high risk of losing sod,” he said. “It’s definitely going to be a challenge for our customers – for ourselves as well. I don’t know what we can recommend to them, whether they can get exemptions for situations they have invested in a new landscape.

“I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

CORRECTION The story entitled “New community police officer for Barrhaven” on page 11 in the March 31 issue of Barrhaven-Ottawa South This Week had an incorrect byline. The article was written by LJ Matheson and Dana Barnett. This Week regrets the error.

Jobs, healthcare and hydro costs were the hot button issues during Ontario Progressive Conservative leader, Tim Hudak’s talk at a Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce breakfast held at the Centurion Conference Centre on April 28.

“This mighty province, one of the leaders of Confederation has fallen into have not status under (Premier) Dalton McGuinty,” Hudak said, adding that it took 23 premiers in Ontario before the province reached the $1-billion deficit mark and McGuinty has managed to “singlehandedly double the deficit.”

Hudak called for the scrapping of Local Integration Networks to put those dollars back into frontline care.

“I constantly hear about young mothers waiting at hospitals for 12 hours waiting to see a doctor and we are putting millions of dollars every year into these bloated health bureaucracies,” Hudak said.

Hudak said the conservative plan also included attracting business to the province and bringing rising hydro costs under control.

Hudak said the businesses he has talked to said they are drowning under red tape and can’t afford to hire new employees with increased taxation and energy costs.

According to Hudak, unemployment rates have been higher than the national average for 51 days.

“As a father, that worries me about my daughter’s future,” he said. “I want to get back to small businesses being the hiring engine for this province.”

A Statistics Canada report dated April 8 shows the national unemployment rate as 7.1 per cent — compared with Ontario’s 8.1, but it does show that the numbers have improved by 2.1 per cent over the last 12 months.

British Columbia figures match Ontar-

io’s at 8.1 per cent, while Prince Edward Island is at 11.2 per cent While he said McGuinty couldn’t be blamed for the global recession, Hudak said it was an opportunity to show his leadership — and an opportunity missed, according to his measure.

“Ontario was falling behind before the recession and is currently limping out of it,” he said.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli disagrees, saying that Ontario has recovered 93 per cent of the jobs lost due to the recession.

He credits that to “the most successful stimulus program in the history of the province and the country.”

As for the $16-bilion deficit, Chiarelli said the plan to come out of it is very similar to the Federal Conservatives.

“Our program is a year or two longer because we want to keep some of the stimulus spending and provide jobs for Ontario families,” Chiarelli said. “The key thing to remember is before the recession we had three successive balanced budgets.”

Chiarelli challenged Hudak’s commitment to scrap the LHINs, saying that less than one per cent of their funding goes to administration.

“They replaced regional health centres, where decisions for the rest of the province were being made out of a high rise in Toronto,” Chiarelli said, adding that they have helped to reduce wait times for hospitals.

Hudak and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod also took aim at government agencies, saying that a sunset review would force the different bodies to justify their existence.

“If you put just about any three letters of the alphabet together, you will find a government agency you have never heard of and you’re paying millions for,” Hudak said.

“Put an “e” in front of it and it’s billions.”

Local painter to exhibit entire career at OLV church EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Greely has a national secret, and may not even know it.

Eighty-six-year-old Bill Buchanan has been a “secret� artist for decades, never showing his work in a large exhibit, and only selling occasionally through one-off sales and lunchbreak deals.

But Buchanan is truly a hidden Canadian gem: born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, the Greely resident is a Second World War veteran, and an alumni of the Department of National Defense and National Research Councils. He’s a former employee of the scrapped Avro Arrow project, having lost his drafting job when then-Prime Minister Diefenbaker cancelled the program in the 1960s, much to the chagrin of historians today.

But these experiences have translated into a more private – yet still very Canadian – aspect of Buchanan’s life as an accomplished artist, with nearly 50 years of original paintings littering his Bank Street home.

Now, Buchanan has decided to finally showcase his entire artistic career all in one place, hosting an exhibit and sale in

October at the banquet hall of the Our Lady of the Visitation church near Bank Street and Rideau Road. “I’ve had this career that’s been kind of secret all these years, so now I’m kind of ending my career so I thought I’d put it out there and see how it goes,� he said, noting that he was hesitant to take the leap. “There was a reluctance to go through all the bother; it’s a big job. I’m kind of reticent as well, so this is kind of a big deal. I’m letting myself go here,� he said.

The evolution of Buchanan’s art since the 1960s is striking, moving from heavy, sociallydriven paintings with multiple themes and subjects in the 1960s and 1970s, to more pleasing and whimsical pieces in the 1980s and 1990s to colourful abstracts in more recent years.

Buchanan said this artistic evolution has been a natural process as he has grown older and learned from past experiences, including his time in Holland during the Second World War and a failed marriage before he met his wife of 36 years, Shirley. “Today I’m not the same person that I was when I started. As you go through life I suppose a

Bill Buchanan, 86, has decided to put nearly 50 years of paintings on display at his first-ever solo art exhibit this October. normal change comes over you, and so it would naturally come over your paintings as well,� he said. “Now I’m more or less comfortable in my skin and comfortable in my life, and I’m more free. So I’m putting out these more abstract type paintings, which don’t really tell a story but are more concerned with colour and tone and line.�

Walking through his house near Sale Barn Road on Bank Street, paintings from every decade adorn the walls, from very recent abstract works that are simply “pretty arrangements, with nice vibrant colours� to some of his oldest and largest paintings. A large 1960s oil

with the Department of National Defense and the National Research Council. He joked that there are many more paintings underneath the finished works, because when he’s unhappy with it he just paints over it. “Some paintings have seven paintings underneath them, so if you’re not happy with the first one, scrape that one off and there’s a second one,� he laughed.

Buchanan said he’s unsure how the art show in October will go, especially since many art appreciators want to check out new artists to follow for the rest of their careers. However, he said he believes even his earliest his work is still relevant to the issues of today. “A lot of the stuff that they’re doing now is not going to be around very long because things change so quickly. What’s new today is old in a week. But what I’ve got here is a substantial group that you could look at any time, for any period,� he said. “Anything I’ve done is still valid today.�

He said he hopes to display 85 paintings in the show, which will all be for sale. He has been in contact with the national gallery and the Ottawa gallery too.

painting in the dining room is an extremely textured piece with suggestions of an openarmed person as the main subject. “I don’t know how to explain it because I was kind of in a state of muddle at the time, but I think it was kind of freeing myself from some huge obstacle at the time, probably the war. It’s kind of a freedom thing,� he said.

Throughout his basement, stacks of paintings lean against walls, separated and protected only by pieces of tissue paper or foam, and ranging from the soberly serious to darkly funny.

One painting, called Bessie the Cow, is a highly textured blood spatter that highlights Buchanan’s passion for animal rights.

On a different slant, a freshly finished piece called Malice in Wonderland features a suspicious gangster, a nervous-looking rabbit and, of course, the psychedelic tunnel.

Of about 200 paintings he’s done over his lifetime, Buchanan said he still has about 130, having sold the rest through small exhibits at Ottawa galleries or by setting up his works for sale at lunch breaks during his career as a graphic designer

What makes a village tick?

STAFF Saturday, May 7 will mark Manotick’s first ever “Jane’s Walk” to create an experience that enables participants to learn about the village.

A guided tour will start at 3 p.m. for about an hour and will be led by longtime residents and new arrivals alike.

“The purpose of the first Jane’s Walk in Manotick is to create an exciting experience which stimulates discussion - a ‘walking conversation’,” says organizer Terry McGovern.

“The people and places that we’ll encounter along the route will act as catalysts to the conversation and give participants an informed sense of Manotick’s past, present and future.”

The walking tour will introduce participants to a number of buildings of historic importance. Along the way, various local “characters” will share their stories of what brought them to Manotick and why they stayed.

The tour will meander through the part of the village bordered

by Bridge Street, Main Street, and the Rideau River. All ages are welcome.

Jane’s Walk celebrates the legacy of urbanist Jane Jacobs, and encourages people to get out, explore their neighbourhoods, and meet their neighbours.

Free walking tours held on the first weekend of May each year are led by locals who want to create a space for residents to talk about what matters to them in the places they live and work.

Since its inception in Toronto in 2007, Jane’s Walk has expanded rapidly.

This year, the 50th anniversary of Jacobs’s seminal book “The Death and Life of Great American Cities”, there are over 40 walks being organized in the City of Ottawa alone.

Compromise a must for Tories

S

tephen Harper’s appeal to the voters to deliver him a majority government did not fall on deaf ears.

The Conservatives picked up 166 seats, with 70,311 of 71,513 polls reporting – an increase of 23 seats, at press time.

The Tory tide once again swept across Ottawa, with only David McGuinty and Mauril Belanger holding on to Liberal seats in Ottawa South and Ottawa-Vanier. In Ottawa Centre, Paul Dewar, son of former Ottawa mayor Marion Dewar secured his seat for the NDP. The anticipated surge of NDP support did not hurt the Tories, except in a few ridings in Quebec, where most of the seats picked up by the party were taken from the Liberals.

During the campaign, the prime minister warned Canadians that a minority Tory government couldn’t hold on to power and would fall prey to a coalition of the Liberals, NDP or potentially the Bloc Quebecois.

Harper’s predictions were alarming with warnings of hits to the financial markets, deficit spending and possibly reopening the Constitution for another divisive debate that nobody wanted.

Canadians obviously listened, and Harper

no longer faces the spectre of having to compromise or work to achieve consensus with the opposition.

But is that necessarily a good thing? Yes, a majority government will give the Tories the tools to pass legislation that could have been delayed by a united opposition.

And as Tory MP Gordon O’Connor pointed out, a majority win will allow the Conservatives to stand down from continuous preparation for yet another election, and focus on the task of governing. But when they were a minority government, the Tories were forced to listen to the ideas of other parties and to compromise.

The politics of consensus forces a leader to sift through the ideas of competing parties and incorporate the best parts within his or her own policies.We hope winning a majority won’t go Harper’s head.

The Tories often use the word “arrogance” to explain the federal Liberals fall in fortune, they might want to avoid a similar accusation over the next four years.

Be a good prime minister, Harper. Listen to other ideas, use the best ones. Remember, in a democracy we elect a prime minister, we don’t anoint a king.

A winter game for all seasons

M

any factors go into making Canada the unique country it is, as recent political events have shown.

On a non-political level, we have Tim Hortons and the Group of Seven and large group of comedians located in the United States. We have football with three downs. We have three coasts and at least two seasons.

We have many languages and very few species of deadly snakes. We have movie theatres that don’t show Canadian movies. Oh, wait, other countries have those too.

One of the other non-political things that has been commented upon lately is that fact that our hockey season, the season for a winter game played on ice, now lasts into June. In fact, one estimate puts the last possible Stanley Cup final game as late as June 18.

This has consequences that go far beyond sport. Coupled with daylight saving time, it means that many Canadians will be indoors in the air-conditioning watching television while the sun is still shining and they could be outside playing games and getting fit.

It also means that a goodly percentage of Canadians, those who avidly follow

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town playoff games played on the west coasts of Canada and the U.S., show up for work tired and grouchy, or not show up at all. Productivity, a major concern of newspaper columnists, declines.

Furthermore, children of permissive parents who avidly follow games played on the west coast will be difficult in class unless, mercifully, they fall asleep.

This may explain why our children are constantly outperformed by children who come from countries where there is no hockey.

These are some of the important social and economic consequences of our obsession with hockey and the hockey owners’ obsession with dragging out the season as long as possible in order to make more money.

As we see from the world news, in most other countries, spring is a time for getting the crops in, playing baseball

and staging insurrections. Not here.

Which just goes to show that there is more to the Canadian identity than an unelected Senate and the notwithstanding clause.

If the hockey nuttiness ended here, you could put it down to a mild case of national eccentricity — people staying up too late, watching TV when they could be strolling in the spring evening air when it’s not raining. But, unfortunately, there is more to it.

For at the same time as the rest of the world is having revolutions, spring planting and baseball games, those Canadians who venture outdoors, are playing hockey.

But they’re not playing hockey with a ice and a puck. They’re playing hockey with pavement and a ball. Ball hockey interest peaks in the spring because all those boys and girls and their parents want to try out the moves they see on television, except for the hitting from behind and elbows to the head.

So out they go onto the street, between televised games, just as the professional hockey season is winding down and many hockey players, in fact, are out on the golf course. This typically Canadian scene causes cars to be inconvenienced

and the more fussy neighbours to be upset, leading in turn to another uniquely Canadian phenomenon — the complaint to city hall and the police raid on street hockey nets.

If you lived in Lusaka, Jakarta or Paris, you would not be aware of any of this. The streets of those cities are notable for their absence of hockey nets.

In Canada, the police raids on outdoor hockey nets lead to letters to the editor, phone calls to talk radio shows and a lot of public hand-wringing generally. The rights of kids (and their parents) to have fun are weighed against the right of private property and a uniquely Canadian philosophical battle ensues.

BY DAN PLOUFFE The barbecue sizzled all afternoon serving up the staple game-day hotdogs and fans soaked up the shorts and Tshirt weather as the sounds of baseball returned to South Nepean Park for the East Nepean Eagles’ opening day on Sunday, May 1.

“The grass is turning green and it’s a nice warm day,” beams Bruce Campbell, the East Nepean Little League’s president of 17 years. “That’s what’s special – just being outside. And isn’t baseball the official start to summer?”

Despite the fact it was their first time on the diamond this year – and that they needed an exemption from the city to be allowed onto the fields a few days before everyone else – the East Nepean players put on a good show for the opening day crowd with a close season-opening contest.

Mitchell Shahen wound up scoring the winning run on a wild pitch to give his Gothams a 5-4 win over the Athletics in Major-level springtime house league play.

It was also a big day for East Nepean because it marked the first games played since the organization was awarded the hosting rights for the 2015 Canadian championships for 11- and 12-year-olds.

In four years’ time, East Nepean youngsters will compete on their home field for the right to represent Canada at the Little League World Series in Williams-

port, PA – a feat last accomplished by an Eagles team in 2004.

“It’s still several years away, but it’s a really big deal,” says Campbell, who recalls the 2004 national title with great fondness. “I didn’t have any of my children on the team, but even I’d be at a loss of words to properly describe how it felt when it was that last out of the last game and you knew you were Canada’s team going to the Little League World Series.

You just can’t explain how exciting it is.”

Campbell expects Eagles teams of all levels to compete for district and provincial crowns, thanks to the 600+-player organization’s already strong development programs. But there are plans to ensure the group that will compete in 2015 receives as many structured clinics as possible to prepare them for the week-long national tournament.

“Our players today that our 7-8 and will be 11-12 in 2015, no doubt there will be a special emphasis on that age group,” adds Campbell, whose Eagles receive an automatic entry into the six-team competition. “We want to be competitive when we face the best teams that come here from across Canada.”

All key positions on the organizing committee are already filled for the event that carries a budget of $100,000, but their biggest task in the coming years is to secure an additional $350,000 for the “legacy” project from the 2015 tournament.

Coleman Brown slides in to home safely to give his Athletics team a 2-0 lead in the second inning of their East Nepean Little League opening day encounter with the Gothams, who wound up winning the game 5-4.

The plan is to construct a media building complete with a PA system, electronic scoreboards (the current graffiti-covered score placard was not used on opening day) and storage space for the ballpark’s

supplies when not in use.

The Eagles have already begun their own fundraising efforts with a raffle and they’ll soon begin recruiting sponsors for 2015, but the presence of local politicians – a list that included Mayor Jim Watson, city councillors Jan Harder, Mark Taylor and Steve Desroches, MPP Bob Chiarelli and MP Pierre Poilievre – to help throw out the opening pitches carried a little more significance than being purely ceremonial.

“Hopefully the three levels of government can provide some of the resources they need to get ready for (the 2015 nationals),” says Chiarelli, Ottawa WestNepean’s MPP. “I’m fairly certain the province will be at the table,” notes Chiarelli, a former little league player himself. “It’s a very excellent city facility, but in order to host the national championships, they have to enhance it significantly.”

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches agreed that it’s “an idea worth exploring.”

“We have the Little League championships that will be coming to the City of Ottawa and I think there’s a good opportunity to improve some of the infrastructure here in the south end,” he says.

“It’s a community that’s growing very rapidly.”

“Spring is in the air,” Desroches smiles. “This is a Canadian tradition and it’s great to see the kids out here being active and playing.”

Late offensive rush spoils Titans’ effort

Visit us Online at

A second-half comeback helped the St. Francis Xavier Coyotes down the Mother Teresa Titans 7-6 in National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association boys’ varsity lacrosse action on April 29.

The Coyotes scored the game’s final three goals in the dying minutes to spoil an otherwise dominant effort by the Titans at Minto Field.

With the win, the Coyotes moved to 3-0-2 in the initial

Owner Oliver Davis

stages of the season.

St. Francis Xavier opened their season with a 3-3 tie against St. Mark on April 19, and then beat Lester B. Pearson 8-3 the next day.

Last week the Coyotes also tied St. Mark again before knocking off Osgoode Township 11-3.

The loss for Mother Teresa came in only its second game of the year. The Titans won their opener 8-7 against Osgoode Township on April 19.

The two teams are set to rematch on May 4.

the ULTIMATE Summer Fun & Camp Guide • Summer 2011 Why every child should go to camp

By Matt Barr of Camps Canada

CAMPERS SAY • Camp helped me make new friends. (96%) • Camp helped me get to know other campers who were different from me. (94%) • Camp helped me feel good about myself. (92%) • At camp, I did things I was afraid to do at first.

(74%) PARENTS SAY • My child gained self-confidence at camp. (70%) • My child remains in contact with friends made at camp. (69%) • My child continues to participate in activities learned at camp. (63%) Camps are uniquely positioned to provide all of these developmental needs for children. Consider camp as the perfect partner to family, school, and community youth activities in helping your child learn independence, decision-making, social and emotional skills, character building and values - all in an atmosphere

of creativity and enrichment under the supervision of positive adult role models.

In today's pressure-oriented society, camp provides a non-threatening environment for Canada's youth to be active, to develop competence in life skills, to learn about and enhance their own abilities and to benefit from meaningful participation in a community designed just for them.

CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SUMMER?

ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS The camp experience is recognized by child development professionals as valuable in helping children mature socially, emotionally, intellectually, morally, and physically.

"The building blocks of self-esteem are belonging, learning, and contributing," says Michael Popkin, family therapist and founder of Active Parenting.

"The biggest plus of camp is that camps help young people discover and explore their talents, interests, and values. Most schools don't satisfy all these needs. Kids who have had these kinds of (camp) experiences end up being healthier and have less problems which concern us all."

"What makes camp a special community is its focus on celebrating effort," says Michael Brandwein, speaker and consultant to the camp profession. "In this less pressured atmosphere, children learn more readily what positive things to say and do when they make mistakes and face challenges."

He says the traditions and customs of each different camp are like a secret code that allows those who know it to feel embraced by something unique and special. "Campers are urged to include, not exclude, others. They are praised for choosing new partners and not always the same ones.

"They are encouraged to respect the differences between people. In an increasingly sarcastic, put-downoriented world, camps aim to be an oasis of personal safety where demeaning comments and disrespectful behavior are not tolerated, and children are taught responsible and positive ways to resolve conflicts." ·excerpts extracted from the American Camp Association website at: http:// www.acacamps.org

Noted experts in child development have expressed their thoughts on summer camp as a valuable resource for giving children the value of belonging to a community of their own. This critically important sense of community for children is rooted in enabling and empowering children to be belonging, cooperating, contributing, and caring citizens.

"It is in the crucible of this community that children gain self-esteem with humility, overcome their inflated sense of self, and develop a lifelong sense of grace and wonder," says Bob Differ, licensed clinical social worker specializing in child and adolescent treatment.

Dog guide walk aims to raise $1,000 laurie.matheson@metroland.com

Faye Wilson has a hope to raise $1,000 at this year’s walk for dog guides on May 29 at the Nepean Sportsplex.

The Kemptville woman says it will be

the second year that the Purina Walk for Dog Guides – which is a national event – will be held in Nepean.

“This is the 20th year, but it’s new to the Barrhaven/Nepean area,” Wilson said, who is the organizer for the five kilometer walk where participants are

Save you 100’s Every Month!!

If you have as little as $10,000 in debt, we have a solution for you.

asked to raise pledges.

There are more than 200 walks across Canada. This is the foundation’s largest annual fundraiser and raises funds to help train dog guides for Canadians with visual, hearing, medical or physical disabilities.

Walks are organized by local volunteers with support from Lions Foundation of Canada, of which Wilson is a member, and it has raised more than $7 million since it began.

Registration will be held at 9 a.m. with the walk to begin at 10 a.m.

“Last year we had 10 people; if we have that again this year and can raise $1,000, I will be happy,” said Wilson.

Thanks to Nestlé Purina PetCare Canada and the event’s national sponsors, 100 per cent of the funds you raise go di-

rectly to the work of training and providing dog guides.

Funds raised from the walk help to provide dog guides to Canadians who need them.

There is no entry fee.

Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides (LFCDG) is a national charity. Its mission is to provide service to Canadians with a medical or physical disability in the areas of mobility, safety and independence. Since 1983, Lions Foundation of Canada has operated Dog Guides Canada to provide specially trained Dog Guides to more than 1,600 men, women and children from coast to coast. In addition to training dog guides for people who are blind or visually impaired, LFCDG also trains Dog Guides to meet the needs of Canadians with disabilities.

New shingles on roofs in homes in Ottawa South/Barrhaven were ripped off in the wind storm, while below, Wendy and Daniel Winter of Barrhaven were busy Saturday cleaning up a 40-yearold spruce tree that was toppled over in the wind storm on April 28. They had some help from city workers who lopped off the top 20 feet as it fell on across Larkin Street blocking traffic.

JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Winds gusted up to 90 kilometres an hour on April 28 and left thousands without power across the region.

Environment Canada issued a wind warning for the Ottawa area in the early afternoon. Winds also swept across the eastern part of the province, causing warnings in Kingston, Brockville, and Cornwall.

The powerful winds felled trees across the city, downing power lines and leaving about 11,000 Hydro One customers in the valley without electricity.

Hydro Ottawa also had reports of outages on Viewmount Drive and Limebank Road.

“The traffic lights were out on Greenbank Road from Highway 417 to Hunt Club (Road),” Jennifer Holmes, a Barrhaven resident, said. “When I was driving on Greenbank past the cornfield the car was all over the road. It was crazy.”
