Final editions of community papers Jan. 11 BY THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com

Thanks for the memories

The year 2017 was full of newsworthy events in Orléans. At left are some of our favourite photos of 2017. There were sports highlights, LRT funding announcements, and happy memories at annual events like the Navan Fair, RibFest and school concerts. There were also tough times, including flooding in Cumberland and fires. Photo collage by Brier Dodge/Metroland

The page has turned in the Ottawa community newspaper market. You are reading the final edition of the Orléans News. As of today’s edition (Jan. 11), this community newspaper will cease publication. A total of eight papers are shutting down. They were previously owned by Metroland Media and acquired by Postmedia Network Inc. as part of a November 2017 agreement, which has reshaped the news landscape in Ottawa. The deal saw Postmedia acquire 22 of Torstar’s (Metroland’s parent company) community newspaper properties and two free commuter daily newspapers and to sell 15 of Postmedia’s community newspaper properties and two free commuter daily newspapers to Torstar. This was effectively a non-cash transaction as the properties had approximately similar fair values. “This transaction allows Postmedia to focus on strategic areas and core products, and allows us to continue with a suite of community-based products, in a deeply disrupted industry,” said Paul Godfrey, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Postmedia, in a Nov. 27 news release. Staff at the Kanata Kourier-Standard, Stittsville News, West Carleton Review, Ottawa East News, Ottawa West News, Nepean-Barrhaven News, Orléans News and Ottawa South News have been touched by the many calls, emails and letters of support received since the closure of the papers was announced. With the closure of this paper, you will continue to receive your weekly bundle of flyers.

How to get involved in your community STAFF

Orléans is covered with community associations who plan a variety of events over the year. Here’s a roundup of events they have planned in 2018, and how to get in contact to volunteer. BLACKBURN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

The Blackburn Community Association’s website at blackburnhamlet.ca is the best way to find out about upcoming events and programs in the hamlet. In 2018, we will have several big projects underway, including the continuation of our community beautification project and the possible installation of the art piece and landscape design in the spring and the construction of a storage shed. Our many annual events are also listed on the website, including Fun Fair, Hockey Day, Canada Day fireworks, Volunteer Dinner and Pancake Breakfast. Also, we continue to rent out the community hall (190 Glen Park Dr.) to area residents and run several fitness, social and community building programs out of that facility.

Our annual general meeting takes place on Jan. 18, 2018 during which we will hold elections for a new board. Everyone is welcome to attend and to get involved. There are roles for everyone, regardless of the amount of time one can commit. For more information about how to get involved, email president@blackburnhamlet.ca. BRADLEY ESTATES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Bradley Estates Community Association (BECA) is a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization representing the growing developments in the south-west of Orleans: Bradley Estates and Ridge, Spring Valley Trails, Trailsedge, and Eastboro. We are always in need of volunteers to help out at our events, or to keep our neighbourhood rinks running. Visit our website www.bradleyestates.ca to find out more, or join our Facebook group “BECA Orleans” for updates on events, community news and other issues. Stay tuned for our February Hockey Day in Canada, April annual general meeting, and August community barbecue, among other great neighbourhood events.

CARLSBAD SPRINGS

Residents in Carlsbad Springs can contact the community association by emailing us at info@ carlsbadsprings.ca Residents can also listen to CJRO FM, our tourist public information radio service available at 107.7 FM and via internet on our website. It is known as Carlsbad Info Radio. And also visit our website at carlsbadsprings.ca to learn more about events, activities, community centre programming and issues and news about the community. The Carlsbad Springs Community Association is also preparing a CRTC community radio application to apply for a community radio licence to modify CJRO FM from a tourist radio service into a low power FM community radio station in 2018. There is also a plan to add a small FM transmitter in Vars to rebroadcast CJRO FM. More details to come in the new year, but we will be looking for volunteers interested in having their own radio show! We will also be looking for reporters interesting in doing news stories.

Podium potential for Orléans Olympians

New Year ~ New Name ~ Same Mission

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

With the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics officially kicking off Feb. 9, Canadians will be glued to their television sets, cheering on anyone wearing the maple leaf. Anyone who wins a medal and stands a top of the Olympic podium in the red and white uniform will be a source of pride — but there are a few medal hopefuls from Orléans who may earn Metroland file photo east enders a few more bragging Vincent de Haître won a silver medal at the 2017 ISU World rights in the medal haul. Single Distance Championships, Here’s who to watch. RACHEL HOMAN (CURLING)

Rachel Homan grew up in Orléans, and led her rink to a world championship gold medal in early 2017. The Cairine Wilson grad no longer lives in Orléans, but her upbringing makes her an east-end favourite when it comes to watching curling. The 28-year-old has a collection of world championship medals — a silver medal in 2014 and a bronze medal the year before — so their shots of bringing home Olympic hardware are strong. In Sochi in 2014, the Canadian team led by Jennifer Jones brought home the gold medal, so the bar has been set high. With a gold medal in their pockets from the last world championships, it’s realistic to expect Team Homan has a shot at repeating the Canadian success in 2014. Homan will first take the ice on Feb. 15 against the Swedish team. IVANIE BLONDIN (LONG TRACK SPEED SKATING)

In 2014, Ivanie Blondin went to Sochi, but wasn’t able to compete in her best event, the mass start, because it wasn’t an Olympic competition. It’ll appear in the Games for

Advertorial

the first time in 2018, and Blondin, who now lives in Calgary and trains at the national training centre, would likely be disappointed to walk away without a medal in at least one event. She’ll compete in several events in Pyeongchang after prequalifying in the 3,000 metre, 5,000 metre and mass start races. Blondin has been consistently successful on the world cup circuit the past few years, bringing home a haul of medals, and she’s left no question that her eye is on the podium. After a December World Cup in Salt Lake City, USA, she said her world cup results have showed that “I’m right there, and that I could potentially bring home medals in multiple events.” The long track team selections will take place Jan. 4 to 9 in Calgary at the Olympic Oval, to determine skaters for the rest of the long track events. Blondin is likely to also skate in the team pursuit event. The women’s 3,000-metre event will start Feb. 10 at the Gangneung Oval. East-end skater Isabelle Weidemann is also in the running to make the Olympic team, and could potentially race alongside Blondin in the 3,000-metre and 5,000-metre events.

GLEBE

VINCENT DE HAÎTRE (LONG TRACK SPEED SKATING)

Cumberland-raise Vincent de Haître was a surprise qualifier for the Sochi Olympics, and with one Games under his belt, the 23-year-old will come in as a young veteran to international competition. Like Blondin, he moved to Calgary to train at the long track speed skating national team training centre at the Olympic Oval. He still needs to officially make the Olympic team after the conclusion of the selection races, but is expected to compete in the 1,000-metre and 1,500-metre events. He’s a medal contender, especially considering his results at the 2017 ISU World Single Distance Championships, where he won a silver medal in the 1,000 metre, and finished fourth in the 1,500 metre. He told Metroland Media in late May he could see his training paying off and resulting in an Olympic medal. “I got all the learning out of the way,” he said about the Sochi Games. “Now its just a matter of putting it together.” The men’s 1,500-metre event will start on Feb. 13.

Mary marvels at how problems were solved

es siree, it’s here to stay,” Father said at breakfast, forking in his fried potatoes and salt pork. He had already completely banked the old log house with snow, and packed it with the shovel so that it would stay where he put it. With no foundation, we needed all the help we could get to keep the cold drafts of winter outside. The barns were snug, kept warm by the livestock and with boards on hinges over the windows, so they could be opened for milking and feeding the livestock, and otherwise kept closed. Logs were rolled against the big doors when they closed as well. Mother said the barns were warmer than the house, which Father said was pure nonsense.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

The big watering trough, which sat in the middle of the barnyard, but close to the pump had been drained of its water, and was now full of snow. There would be no watering of the livestock from there until the winter was over. Being a Saturday, I was home from school, and Father knew how I loved to be with him when he was doing farm chores, and after breakfast, he told me to get my clothes on, and to dress warmly because we’d be outside for a spell. After I was dressed, Mother wrapped a scarf around my face, and I was covered from head to toe, with only a slit left open for my eyes. Father went to the drive

He nodded in the general direction of the west hill, and leading the way, he broke track down into the gully, and I carefully put one foot after another where he had first stepped.

to reach the back of our farm. But in the winter the creek served as a watering hole for our livestock, and that was the reason Father and I were at its edge. Father scraped the snow off a spot touching the shoreline, and wielding the axe, he soon had a hole deep in the ice. I could see the water, barely moving, and the

OPINION

Connected to your community

Keep calm: coyotes have always been with us

oyotes in the Greenbelt. Coyotes within the Experimental Farm. This North American native animal is smaller in stature than a wolf but is fairly ubiquitous. Indeed, in recent times, it has moved closer to urban areas, bringing out this perceived conflict with humans. The headlines may scare some people but history says we’re all going to be OK. Coyotes will go where the food is or, more specifically, where the easiest-to-catch food is. That means they do well when they live near human habitation where they can scavenge, eat small rodents, dead carcasses and the occasional pet left alone outside. Humans aren’t at risk. Indeed, some would argue the reverse, namely that man is a threat to coyotes. But setting such arguments aside, coyotes are not to be feared if given their distance. History has shown that coyotes want nothing to do with animals bigger than they are and humans fit into this category. At the same time, it’s only hu-

man to fear an animal that can kill. There are tips out there to reduce the likelihood of any interactions between coyote and human. Keep garbage wrapped up tight and put it out just shortly before the garbage truck comes along. Keep pets inside unless you are with them. Report all sightings to the City of Ottawa which can track such occurrences and identify any areas where coyote numbers are growing and perhaps becoming of concern. It may be nostalgic to look back on the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon series and think of Wile E. as a hapless, dimwitted animal. It made for good humour and laughter on television screens but did a disservice to Wile E. and his brethren. Coyotes in real life are stealthy, cunning predators. They may not terrify but they certainly deserve to be respected. So keep your distance, take the necessary precautions and there should be no problems in your neighbourhood.

It’s been a privilege to be a community journalist BY THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com

ack on sunny day in June 1989, I sat at my Carleton University convocation ceremony and could not believe my luck. Not only did I have my first real job as a reporter to go to the following week, I was sitting listening to then media-mogul Conrad Black speak. Black’s words about the industry at that time filled me with hope and excitement. I believed I had chosen a profession where I would make a difference and what I wrote would impact people’s lives. I also expected to retire from this profession. That

was not to be. The details are simple enough. Myself, along with other talented Ottawa journalists, are now out of work due to a newspaper transaction between Metroland Media and Postmedia in November 2017. It’s business and it happens. But, for me, it’s personal. This job of mine has never been just a job. It wasn’t for the money. Had I wanted to monetize my education all those years ago, I would have continued on and pursued the law career I had planned. This career of mine was a calling based on a natural curiosity, a desire to get to the bottom of things and serve the public by providing them information. Awards were never the motiva-

tor. It was that call from someone who liked a story that meant more. It was the person who reached out in the grocery store who mattered. And it was the complaints too. Mistakes – those made you want to do better. You can’t hide when you are face-to-face with your community. That’s community journalism. Being let into someone’s home, their lives, or having them share their joy or heartbreak with you is quite something. It is a trust. Building trust takes years. This passion of mine has kept me going for 28 years. I can’t even begin to guess how many assignments I have covered, how many stories I have written or how many people – the famous and not-so-

famous – I have interviewed. I have boxes in my basement filled with clippings, papers, photos and negatives. I just can’t seem to part with them. More recent work fills several USB keys. Some stories I have written have touched me more than others. They are permanently etched on my soul. Some have made me laugh, others cry. I know journalists should remain objective but if you are not human, what’s the point? There are too many people to thank for their support but there are a few who are very special to me. I need not name them here. I believe they know who they are. I came across a copy of the final edition of the Toronto Telegram

from 1971 while cleaning out my office. Reading the front-page story about the paper’s closing, a quote from one departing reporter struck me. “I want it remembered that I did not leave the news business,” he said. “It left me.” Newspapers matter. They reflect our communities, our neighbours, ourselves. A community newspaper is quite possibly a community’s best friend, a hand to hold in good times and bad. It is hard to say goodbye. Times have changed. My industry has changed. I, for one, will always be proud to say I was a journalist. And I want it known that I didn’t leave my profession, it left me.

kids. But now that we know better, we should be doing better for our cats. The cats around today are fully domesticated. They depend on their human caregivers. There’s simply no kind of evolution that will prevent the senseless suffering of a cat on the street; we see the consequences when they arrive at the OHS emaciated after weeks lost on the streets or frozen solid from a cold winter night. The streets are hell for a cat.

Pet of the Week: Alize (ID# A204609) Meet Alize, a sweet girl looking for her purr-fect match. Alize is a chatty girl who loves to tell you all about her day. She’d prefer a quiet home with a regular routine. Alize is looking for a new family that will take some time every day to play with her. She has lived with other cats in the past, and would likely get along well with a respectful feline like herself. Are you the one Alize has been searching for? For more information on Alize and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

A similar debate raged about dogs in the middle of the last century, with some arguing that since dogs descended from wolves, they needed to run free! I’m not sure that anyone now thinks that dogs would have longer, healthier lives if they were allowed to roam our streets. This is just as true for cats. So why is this happening? Like most animal welfare crises in our community, the root cause is human behaviour — specifically irresponsible behaviour. The sad reality is that ultimately, this is so widespread that it leads to the conclusion that it’s not simply a number of individuals causing a terrible situation but rather a community problem stemming from the fact that cats are simply not valued, certainly not to the same degree as our vaccinated, sterilized, collar-wearing, leashed canine friends.
