An SIU investigator speaks to an Ottawa Police officer at the scene of a garage explosion in Greely that sent a 43-year-old woman to hospital with serious injuries on Monday night.
Explosion rocks Greely street CHRISTOPHER HOFLEY WEEKENDER STAFF The Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigation a residential garage explosion in Greely on Monday night after police had been called to the residence. A 43-year-old woman was taken to Ottawa Hospital in serious condition after the explosion, which allegedly
happened following a domestic dispute with her partner, published reports said. Police were initially called to the home on Sunset Boulevard at approximately 7:30 p.m. After resolving the situation, police were called back to the residence shortly after 10:20 when it is alleged that the woman attempted to drive her van into a boat on the property. Reports said that the garage, which
is attached to the house, exploded shortly after she entered it. An SIU investigator at the scene on Tuesday morning declined to comment on the incident. The SIU is a civilian body that investigates cases that result in injury or death in which police are involved. Ottawa Police Const. Peter Jeon said he was unable to comment on the investigation while the SIU was involved.
The Lynnwood Gardens trailer park saga continues. During the Aug. 7 meeting of the Rural Council of Ottawa-Carleton, the focal point was discussions on the problems facing Lynnwood residents: their water supply. “Water quality in rural Ottawa is rapidly reaching crisis levels and there is no support from the McGuinty Liberals to improve this crumbling infrastructure,” lamented Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod to the Ontario legislature back on April 3, 2007. She compared it to a third-world country, repeating those statements to the gathered crowd and members during the RCOC meeting. Lynnwood Park, which has faced water problems since it was first built in the 1970s, is facing more problems with its water: possible contamination from its sewage systems. The City of Ottawa and the provincial Ministry of the Environment have visited the park and seem to have come to the same conclusion: no harm, no foul. Unfortunately there has been harm. Resident James Finn sold
his home in Lynnwood Park and moved on because he is afflicted with renal failure and requires dialysis. Test results for his water, from the lab at the Riverside Campus of the Ottawa Hospital, show the sodium and sulphate levels are at 1360 and 1900 milligrams per litre — the recommended levels are 20 and 500 mg per litre, respectively. By comparison, the sodium levels in the city’s water supply is about 18 mg per litre. In a city report dated April 3, 2006, Jean-Guy Albert, Ottawa's program manager for the Public Health Unit, advised Lynwood residents that the Selenium levels and concentrations at the park were at safe levels, but noted: “Residents who are on a sodium-reduced diet or who suffer from congestive heart disease are advised to consult with their physician regarding their water sample result before consuming the water.” This would apply to Finn. And while the water may be within acceptable drinking limits, over an extended period of time of drinking, bathing and washing clothes in the water, residents absorb contaminants from the water.

Residents' concern over dirty water continues mounting >>> LYNNWOOD From Page 1 Contaminants like E. Coli,, which was found in the water supply eight years ago, allegedly enters the water supply through faulty septic systems.
Halifax-based Killam Properties Inc. was ordered to correct the problem more than a year ago; but simply pumps the septic systems every two or three days. A provincial officer’s order, dated Jan. 12, 2007, from the MOE stated that
Killam was to immediately begin repairs on 23 separate sewage systems. However, since some of the homes share a system, it’s difficult to know just how many of the 63 homes on the property are affected by the faulty septic tanks.
While Killam has never denied that the water has a high concentration of minerals (sodium, selenium, etc.), it is allegedly reaching dangerous levels. In a letter to MacLeod, dated Nov. 21, 2007, Killam states that: “Killam has explored the possibility of connecting to municipal water several times since the purchase of Lynnwood, but to no avail.” Residents like Nick Fleming are simply fed up and have been fighting back for years, trying to ensure the water quality of the park increases to a point where residents don’t have to use bottled water for everything from drinking to washing their clothes. And with Russell getting a new water pipe taken into the town — travelling within approximately 1,000 metres
of Lynnwood Park — residents are becoming frustrated at still hearing what they've been told for years: Be patient. Residents have heard platitudes from various levels of government, and the sympathy of various organizations in the area, but “the health concerns of the citizens of Ontario outweigh property rights,” said Fleming. Killam claims the company has spent more than $165,000 in maintenance and repairs on the property. While the water supply does meet new provincial regulations regarding water safe for human consumption, Killam is still offering to pay the costs of the pipeline to be extended. While everything remains unclear at this point, residents are hopeful that some answers will be forthcoming
now that they have a new friend. The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre began recently helping residents at Bellwood, a trailer park in Bell’s Corners, to fight off attempts to sell the property where their homes are located. Combined with efforts from the RCOC, MacLeod and Osgoode Ward Councillor Doug Thompson, residents of Lynnwood may soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime, they will have to continue patiently fighting for clean water. As Bob McKinley, charter president of the RCOC, said at the meeting: “We don’t like no as an answer.” nathan.jahn@metroland. com

ELDER ABUSE: The Hidden Crime Elder abuse is real and it is happening right in your community. In the past month, the Rideau-Goulbourn CPC responded to two such cases of abuse. In one particular instance, a family member stole a large sum of money from his aged mother before other family members could intervene. In another instance, a 40year-old son and his girlfriend lived off of the avails of his aged father while they drank their paychecks away. So, what is elder abuse? Basically, it is harm done to an older person that is violent or abusive in nature. It may be caused by a family member, friend, someone the older person relies on for basic needs, or staff member in group residential settings, such as care homes and longterm health-care facilities. Someone who commits elder abuse usually has control or influence over the older person. The victims of elder abuse often know and trust their abuser while they come to depend on that person for food, shelter, personal care, companionship, or transportation. Clearly, baby boomers will be faced with parents’ declining health and increasing needs while they become increasingly responsible for their elders’ care as people live longer and government care systems become strained under the ever increasing load. Added to this pressure
cooker is the fact that baby boomers stand to inherit some $10 trillion from their parents. With this heated mixture of money, declining health, longer lives, and stretched government care system, there is no doubt that elder abuse will become a very important issue. Elder abuse comes in many forms. Examples include: Physical abuse — slapping, pushing, or beating an older person, forced confinement in a room, bed, or chair; Sexual abuse — any unwanted form of sexual activity, or sexual assault; Financial abuse — stealing an older person’s money or possessions, committing fraud or forgery, and misusing a Power of Attorney; Neglect — abandoning an older person, or withholding food and health services; and, Mental abuse — humiliating, insulting, frightening, or ignoring an older person, and treating an older person like a child. Some of these examples may be considered a crime in certain circumstances. Anyone who physically assaults or forceably confines a person is committing a crime that is punishable by law. Elder abuse is a complex problem that requires many responses, but exposing this hidden crime must start with you. Yes you, the victim, family member, friend, and social service provider. If you have been abused, or if you think someone else is being abused, tell the police. Even if you think the incident is not very significant, or you believe you gave the abuser a reason to abuse you, calling the police is an important part of protecting yourself and being a good neighbor. Also, telling the police about crimes that have happened is one way to prevent future crimes. Many communities across Ontario have created Elder Abuse Networks to look at how people and services can deal with this growing problem. The problem of elder abuse will not be resolved unless steps are taken to educate the community and confront each case of abuse. The Rideau-Goulbourn CPC is actively seeking volunteers from across the Rideau-Goulbourn area, to help us in our battle against Elder Abuse. If you are interested in working with

RESISTANCE IS
NOT SO FUTILE T
hank goodness for all of us that the Rural Council of Ottawa Carleton and the Canadian Landowners Association have apparently never watched the classic sci-fi television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Fans of that show are painfully familiar with The Borg, a collective entity where everyone exists for the greater good of the whole. There is no outlet for individual initiative, no free speech or free will. The Borg exists to bend all to its will, proclaiming to its intended victims: "Resistance is futile." Well, the rural activists don't subscribe to that theory and have been resisting the Borg mentality at Ottawa city hall and Queen's Park for nearly a decade. Happily, they show no signs of weakening. There have been few victories along the way, but the rare wins have sometimes been dramatic. Unlike the Landowners' flashy events staged for public attention and media publicity, the Rural Council has fought the politicians and bureaucrats at their own game — on the floor of council chambers and in the halls of public tribunals. Their most dramatic victory was staving off the shifting of boundaries, which would have reduced four rural wards to three and further limited an already minority rural voice at the council table. By comparison, the Landowners' much publicized tractor parade down the 401 to Queen's Park literally went up in flames when an unrelated protester doused himself with gasoline and threatened to set himself on fire. A Toronto police cruiser rammed his van, he dropped his lighter and the media shifted its total attention. Working together is a promising sign for the future.

SHOULD CHERISH, NOT ABUSE OUR ELDERS
K
udos to Ottawa Police Constable Peter Jeon for bringing back to light the plight of our seniors who fall victim to elder abuse. As he rightly reminds us, it's a crime to abuse anyone, whether it's bullying kids at school or on the Internet, spouses in dysfunctional relationships or people guilty of nothing more than growing old. The key to each case is that the victims, regardless of their age or gender, are vulnerable. The problems are perhaps more drastic in rural settings where many of the social agencies and relief shelters simply don't exist. But perhaps the real crime of elder abuse is that the abusers are often younger

family members who were loved and protected when they were young and vulnerable by the very people they are protecting. True, there are facilities and institutions where staff,
who exist to look after seniors somehow view themselves more as guards than guardians — control freaks more normally associated with prison guards and incompetent senior managers,
whether in the private or public sector. The truth is, our society pretty much wastes the valued resource that seniors provide in dramatically increasing numbers as the baby boomers grey with age. Many societies revere their ancestors and elders. Others are tagged with a legacy of casting them adrift on ice floes or feeding them to polar bears. We seem to fall somewhere in between. I honestly believe that every journalism students should be assigned to interview and profile a senior citizen, whether a family member or complete stranger. Nursing homes are fodder for fascinating sagas of people who, in their youth,

But my new lease on life also changed my peer group. I was in hospital and doctor's clinics so often, that the town seniors became my peer group. I had more in common with them than kids my own age, at least when it came to swapping stories and comparing scars. As that original peer group died, off, I rejoined my own generation. The trade-off was losing the life lessons learned from life experience, taught to me by seniors.

City transit levy could triple next year NATHAN JAHN WEEKENDER STAFF A proposed tax increase for rural transit use could still come into effect when city council resumes its deliberations next month. The tax levy was introduced during last year’s budget discussions as part of a staff report tabled for the March 19 council meeting. It was pulled at the last minute to allow time for public consultation, but will return to the Transit Committee in September for further deliberations. Osgoode Ward Councillor Doug Thompson organized a seven-person task force “to hear and summarize reactions of his constituents to the proposed levy,” said a report titled Draft Report: Osgoode Ward Rural Transit Levy Task Force released in July. Thompson’s task force prepared its report in response to city staff’s March report, which came loaded with four separate recommendations: Eliminate the Town Transit Area (which affects Stittsville), more funding for increased services in Stittsville, an additional $2.6
million in 2008 to purchase four new buses for increased service in Stittsville and “the sharing of net operating and capital costs for transit service provided from park and ride lots between the Urban Area and Rural Transit Areas A and B, proportionately, according to use of the lots and services, starting in 2008 at 78 per cent urban and 22 per cent rural, and to be revised in 2009 based on new surveys.” Rural Affairs director, Derek Moodie attended the Aug. 7 meeting of the Rural Council of Ottawa-Carleton to address concerns and answer any questions. Moodie explained how city staff came up with the numbers for the rural/urban usage split — recording licence plate numbers to determine who lived in urban and rural locations. What remains unclear is how many people come from outside the city — who don’t pay taxes — and use the Park ‘n’ Ride facilities. “At all of them combined (Park ‘n’ Ride facilities), 19 per cent of those people are living in rural Ottawa,” said Moodie. “So they’ve attributed 19 per cent of the costs associated with tran-
sit. Those 19 or 20 per cent of people using the park ‘n’ rides are also using the buses, the transit ways, they’re also using the stations. They’re taking those numbers and saying 20 per cent of those costs should be paid for by rural users.” This is a major problem for Thompson who maintains that the Park ‘n’ Ride facilities should be switched to a pay-per-use system rather than adding additional tax levies. He also questions the city's numbers. Currently, on properties assessed at $279,000 in value, rural users on the RTA-A pay $96 in taxes, while users on RTA-B pay $26. Compare that to $486 in transit taxes that urban residents pay. Here’s where it gets sticky. Under the proposed changes to the tax levy, RTA-A and RTA-B would be paying $256 and $93 on the same property value — respective increases of 166 and 257 per cent. Users in Stittsville would have expanded services, but their tax levy would jump nearly 70 per cent from $306 to $518. Under the new system, urban riders would have an

increase of 6.5 per cent, to $518 from $486. That doesn’t sound unreasonable — if rural riders had vastly expanded service and if the money was used only for transit, but Thompson thinks the money will simply go into the general coffers. “If you read the fine print, it says the transit levy for Park ‘n’ Ride and also the transit services,” he said. “It sounds like (the city is) proposing a levy to help with snow removal and cleaning, but that money, in my opinion, is going to be funneled into the general fund.” Thompson held general
meetings with his constituents once the staff report was pulled from budget discussions. The overwhelming response — 99.7 per cent according to the draft report — were in favour of making the Park ‘n’ Ride facilities some sort of pay-per-use facility, whether through OC Transpo’s current Gold Pass system or using a toll both or some other ‘pay and display’ system. “If they really want to recoup the costs for the park ‘n’ ride, then charge the people from the rural areas and outside the city for using
them,” said Thompson. “But don’t unilaterally throw it across the board.” While it remains to be seen what comes of all the discussion surrounding the transit levy, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for the current status quo to remain. If that possibility ends up being the one chosen, then RTA-A and RTA-B tax rates would be $120 and $40 respectively. Residents can contact their local councillor to voice any concerns. nathan.jahn@metroland. com

CLA plans public meetings NATHAN JAHN WEEKENDER STAFF The Carleton Landowners’ Association (CLA), along with the Rural Council of Ottawa-Carleton (RCOC), is fighting back at the City of Ottawa’s proposed Rural Settlement Strategy, which is slated to take effect in March, 2009. The rural activists are upset that city staff have ignored roughly two-thirds of their recommendations, which were presented to the city following discussions and workshops in 2007. Despite their collective efforts and input, only 62 of 187 recommendations were incorporated into the city's official plan. “We agreed that the CLA and rural council would work together,” said Bruce Collier at the Aug. 7 meeting of the RCOC. “We elected to put together a series of three town hall meetings, which will address the Communities’ Sustainability Strategy.
"From our side ,we’re talking about building sustainable communities in the rural area: communities where people aren’t overwhelmed — as they are in Manotick — or underwhelmed as they are in this area (North Gower).” The CLA, according to its website, is “deeply concerned” that the city’s focus on settlement is “leading to missed opportunities for the development of truly viable and sustainable communities in the rural area. “The vision for the rural area in the official plan is far too limiting … and far too little attention has been paid to ways of connecting the rural and urban areas as part of a sustainable community in the city as a whole.” The meetings are slated to start Sept. 18 in Carp, followed by meetings in Richmond and North Gower on Oct. 2 and 16 respectively. Residents are encouraged to attend all three meetings as they will focus on different topics and have different guest speakers.

Improvements to Limebank Road ongoing Rubber hits the road on Limebank Roa improvements am pleased to see that the new intersection at Limebank and River Road is now operational. This is the first phase of a $44 million dollar municipal project to upgrade the Limebank Road corridor. Work is expected to begin soon on the widening of the road corridor between Hunt Club and Limebank Road. The city is in the process of acquiring from the federal government the land required to widen Limebank from Balmoral to Spratt Road. For more information on the project, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Plans revving up for first slow down campaign in Riverside South As a parent, I understand the concerns regarding speeding and aggressive
Steve Desroches driving on our neighbourhood streets. The latest Ontario Road Safety Report says one-third of drivers involved in collisions had either been speeding, tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, or disobeying traffic conditions. I have been working with the Ottawa Police to target their enforcement activities in South Gloucester. In an effort to raise greater awareness in our community, I am leading an initiative with the police and commu-
nity representatives to send a strong grassroots message to motorists-road safety starts with you! The first ever Riverside South Slow Down campaign will be held on Aug. 16, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are seeking volunteers to participate by joining me and OPS constables in handing out speed awareness information to residents. If you would like to participate, please contact my office for more information. Ottawa Police take driving complaints very seriously Every incident reported is documented. Any person who witnesses a driving offence such as “aggressive driving”, can call the Ottawa Police’s other emergency line at 2306211 to make a report. Please make the call as this information is helpful to the police in targetting their
resources. Mark your calendar for Emergency Wheels 2008 Please join me on Aug. 23rd from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a special BBQ at the Strandherd Crossing mall. The event is a tribute to the men and women of our municipal fire, police and ambulance services The event will showcase the equipment and talents of our city’s Emergency Services and help promote community safety. One-day depot The City of Ottawa is hosting a one-day household
hazardous waste collection depot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,on Aug. 16. The location is at DrainAll Ltd., 2705 Stevenage Drive (between Hawthorne Road and Russell Road, south of Walkley Road). For more information, please call 311 or visit www. ottawa.ca New stop signs on Limebank Road Just a reminder, a new three way stop will be installed later this summer at the Leitrim and Limebank intersection City officials are recommending this measure in
order to address safety concerns and to help manage the growing volume of traffic at this busy intersection. This will be a short term measure until the intersection is upgraded. It is anticipated that the stop signs will be installed in August and I will keep the community up to date on progress. Can I help? I enjoyed talking to residents as I canvassed the ward.

About the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board
n 2001, city council adopted Manotick’s Secondary Plan — 2000 dwelling units by 2020, as part of the city’s Official Plan. In 2007, Minto presented three concept plans to build 1,800 to 2,000 new dwellings within the Manotick on vacant lands north of Century Road. The Mahogany Harbour Development proposal created a firestorm of protest. The proposed concepts did not and do not conform to Manotick’s Secondary Plan. If approved, Minto's amendment to the village’s secondary plan would gut six years of community participation in creating a vision for the village until 2020. After considerable negotiating effort, it became evident that resolution to three key issues: total number of dwellings, rate of growth and infrastructure constraints, could not be achieved. The Minto amendment was defeated at Agricultural and Rural Affairs Standing Committee (ARAC) and later by Council on a 19 to 5 vote. Minto, as expected, petitioned the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). A pre-hearing occurred in early July. Mediation followed principally with the city, West Manotick Community Association (WMCA) and Minto representatives on July 29, 30 and 31. Not being part of the mediation process and as mediation is blanketed by confidentiality, I am therefore, not privy to what may or may not be mediated. That concerns me!! That concern, I have raised with the city solicitor. That said, I want to assure not only the residents of Manotick, but residents of all 26 rural villages that the future of your communities are of equal importance to me. No developer ought to have the right to override a
Glenn Brooks community’s vision of the place where they live, work and play. If the OMB were to extensively support Minto’s amendment, then I will be recommending the city cease creating Community Design Plans (CDP) and/or Secondary Plans. The city’s legal representatives and advisors in light of the council vote and direction cannot capitulate. We must stand tall and remain standing on what is principled and right! I have oft said, “Communities ought to govern communities on local issues!” Planning within our villages is of a local concern. Those living there will still be there long after the developer has moved his/her focus elsewhere as is the nature of the business. Let me say, growth is necessary so as to retain a vibrant economic base and keep our schools populated. Growth, however, must be managed and constructed within the character of the community. These principles were clearly enunciated in Manotick’s Secondary Plan long before Minto purchased the lands in question. I want to recognize the tenacious efforts of the WMCA chairman, Brian Tansley, and his directors. Their voice is not lost nor can it allowed to be! As always, I am here to serve: 580-2424 ext. 31310 or email: glenn.brooks@Ottawa.ca.

WEEKENDER STAFF By this time next year, Ottawa could potentially have its own recycling facility. Orgaworld, an internationally renowned organic waste-treatment company, has signed a 20-year contract with the City of Ottawa to provide recycling and composting services to the urban portions of the city. There's one big problem: they don't have a site. Originally, the city and Orgaworld had looked at a site on Trail Road, before shifting their gaze to a location on Stagecoach Road. That option fell through due to zoning problems and poor truck access. Now their focus is directed at a site at the intersection of Rideau and Hawthorne Roads. The major concern, raised at a public meeting hosted by Osgoode Ward Councillor Doug Thompson and held at the Fred Barrett Arena, in Greely, is simple: location.
In response to concerns over non-organic waste ending up in the process, Jannsens said: "Not all people are disciplined and there will be contaminants." While it may seem like a done deal between the city and Orgaworld, at this point it's a contract for services to be rendered starting in late 2009. The deal could still falter if Orgaworld is rejected for any permits or doesn't follow proper procedure.
MOMO M A
Local resident Mike Alexander seemed to speak for many in the crowd when he said: "I'm all for a composting facility, but not in my back yard." Residents also voiced their concerns over the close proximity of the proposed site to quarries in the area where blasting commonly occurs. The process of composting at the facility includes a lot of water use. Unless an emergency occurs, Orgaworld will not be using municipal water, so they will store any leftover water from the process onsite. Residents are concerned that the holding tanks could become damaged from the seismic activity of blasting, or simply from blast debris landing on the tanks. Ward Jannsens, an Orgaworld representative at the meeting, tried to allay any fears by insisting the company has been doing these exact procedures for years at their other facilities around the world.

NEW FACES
NEW SPACES
This summer, there’s been a lot of new faces around the building, as the museum took on summer interns and new staff. Kalie Boucher and Casie Sherwin of Algonquin College and Carlie Maloney of the University of Ottawa lent their talents to the museum for the summer. The interns have been kept busy with the renovations, digitizing old records, doing new research and developing exhibits. Left to right: exhibit developer Tanya Freed, curator Dan Hoffman, Carlie Maloney, Casie Sherwin, Kalie Boucher and office administrator Ted Ross.
A long-time museum volunteer, Derek Hasler, bequeathed his collection of worked silver pieces to the museum. As a tribute to him, these unique and beautiful pieces of artwork on display.
Local stories come alive at the Nepean Museum
Margaret Sambol If you haven’t been to the Nepean Museum lately, or if you’ve never been, curator Dan Hoffman and staff have some surprises in store. The museum has undergone a complete facelift including all-new exhibits, more displays and even new staff. The changes are thanks to grants from the city through the Museum Sustainability Plan and generous donations from community members. The extensive interior renovations included moving the front desk to create more exhibit space. “It was organized mayhem,” Hoffman says, of the one-month renovation, during which the museum stayed open. Former Nepean Mayor and museum trustee Mary Pitt calls the renovations “fantastic.” “It’s really very nice – I can hardly wait to see all the exhibits,” Pitt said. The timing is excellent as 2008 is also the museum’s 25th anniversary year. It’s an exciting time to be working at the museum, says exhibit developer Tanya Freed. She’s
working to attract new visitors and develop exhibits that will be on semi-permanent display for the next few years. The museum has also taken advantage of the renovations and new staff to rotate some of its extensive collection into the viewing area. The new exhibits feature more of what Nepean is most proud of: its people and their accomplishments. “Nepean has been around a long time and has produced a lot of people who make a difference,” Hoffman says. One new exhibit showcases the work of cartoonist, Peter Adamakos, whose comic strip, Winnie Witch and the Giant Potato, was nationally syndicated in almost half of all Canadian newspapers. The owner of Disada Productions was also the pioneer of the animation program at Algonquin College. For the kids or the more interactive visitor, the museum now offers more multimedia experiences. The exhibit on CJOH’s history in Nepean includes a video of a 1966 TV broadcast featuring a very young Peter Jennings. The museum also has more items on display from significant
NEW STORIES Another exhibit showcases the life of Rosina Lawrence, who grew up in the Westboro area of Nepean before it was annexed to Ottawa. Her family moved to California when she was still a young girl and Lawrence began a film career. She had supporting roles in the Charlie Chan mysteries and worked with Laurel and Hardy, but she is best known for her role on Our Gang with the Little Rascals. She retired from film to raise a family during the Second World War, but Hoffman tracked her down in living in Brooklyn and invited her to visit the museum in 1986. A video records her return to her hometown and meeting long-time Mayor Ben Franklin.
moments in Nepean history, such as the bottle of champagne that Andrew Haydon uncorked while he was mayor of the city for six days and the shovel that D. Aubrey Moodie used to break the ground at the Nepean first television station, the CJOH building on Merivale Road. “This is a touchstone to Nepean’s past,” Hoffman says. After the amalgamation of Nepean into the larger city of Ottawa, the museum’s role as keeper of local history has become even more important. “Local history is right at your fingertips,” says office administrator Ted Ross. “It can be easily forgotten by communities, unless museums keep reminding us of our history.” One of the jewels of the museums is the staff. Hoffman has 20 years under his belt and a treasure trove of local history in his brain. He’s always willing to give a tour and shares his knowledge with enthusiasm with every visitor. “I get paid to walk the corridors of history and meet the people who made it,” Hoffman says. For example, the museum is decorated in Nepean green, which Hoffman says is the former city’s
colour because is has so many parks. He shares another tidbit: Nepean was first incorporated in 1792 making it the oldest municipality in Ottawa-Carleton. Its original boundary was the Rideau River, but a series of annexations reduced its size over the years. UPCOMING In September, the museum is planning a to celebrate its renaissance with a party and some more new exhibits. Hoffman is excited that the museum is gaining a reputation as a place to donate or bequeath items of local historical significance. Recently, the museum has received the collection of Gus Wehsch who served as Nepean chief of police for 33 years. “We’re showcasing how the community was built in ways that are relevant to people,” Freed says. Freed offers a teaser of the interesting facts to be discovered in the upcoming exhibits. “Gus got taxis licensed and created a uniform look,” she says. “There are many things people don’t realize.” Martin Montague gave his entire collection of memorabilia
from Nepean Hydro. Astronaut Steve MacLean, who grew up in Nepean and went to Merivale High School, has committed to donating some of his personal items to the museum. Harold True gave all his family’s war medals to the museum. “He recognized that we could be a repository for his brother’s effects,” Hoffman says. Lois Long, whose family gave their name to the Longfields subdivision in Barrhaven, donated much of her family’s collection. Many of the donors also made financial contributions to help ensure the museum can tell these stories well for generations to come. HOURS AND INFORMATION The museum also has new hours. It is now open seven days a week, including Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends from 1 to 4 p.m., as well as statutory holidays. Admission is free. The museum is located at 16 Rowley Ave. off of Meadowlands Drive in Nepean. For more information call 613723-7936 or visit www.nepeanmuseum.on.ca.
ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW The museum provides much-sought after display space for local artists and collectors in its rotating exhibit area. The current display features the bicycle collection of Dennis Thompson, owner of bike shop, Fresh Air Experience. The exhibit features the medals of Sgt. John Farquhar who served in the Canadian Corps Cyclists Battalion in the First World War. Prince Frederick of Germany surrendered his sword to Farquhar. Shown above is similar model bike to the one Farquhar would have ridden.
COMMENTARY
AUGUST 15, 2008 - OTTAWA SOUTH WEEKENDER - PAGE 13
BADLY BEHAVED BEASTS ON THE FARM T
THE ACCIDENTAL FARMWIFE
DIANA FISHER WEEKENDER STAFF their kitchen window while they are trying to enjoy their morning coffee. The cows have escaped before, when the fresh spring leaves were busting out on the trees just on the other side of the fenced barnyard. The Farmer took a roll of barbed wire and reinforced the fence then, and they have pretty much respected the barrier up until now. But now, apparently, Ginger and Betty are in heat. All’s fair in love and war. All bets are
off. These are no longer good cows. They want a man, and they want him now. They’ve tried to tell us with their recent bawling and bellowing, but we haven’t delivered a bull to keep them company. So they have decided to go out and find one themselves. Betty and the two calves were temporarily distracted by the shrubs on the neighbour’s lawn, but the older and wiser (and obviously more frustrated) Ginger was already across the road (much to a passing motorist’s surprise) and into the next field by the time we arrived in the yard. She was on her way to see the bulls on County Road 20, I think. She was heading in their direction, anyway. How she knows they are there, I have no idea. I suppose they’ve been bellowing messages back and forth. My husband looked a little worried as he faced off with the cows. Betty and Ginger stared with glassy eyes past him and down the road. “Come on, Diana, this is

your thing,” the Farmer said, handing me a bucket of corn. My thing? I wondered if I could get back to the house before Betty bowled me over for my bucket. I trotted just ahead of the four cows (Ginger had decided to join us) and tried to lure them through the fence into the barnyard. But just then I was spotted by the sheep. They saw me with corn bucket in hand, and the open gate into the yard. I got swarmed. One lamb put his sharp little hooves on my backside, and
another nibbled at my pantleg. I was being mobbed by sheep, and the ones that weren’t attacking me were heading off toward the open gate. The cows looked decided there was too much competition for the corn, and started off toward the garden again. Ginger took a big bite out of my prized hosta. Finally, I scattered the corn over the ground to distract the sheep and the men (two neighbours had joined my husband) managed to usher the cows through the gate. Safely locked in the barnyard,
Ginger and Betty watched as the Farmer reinforced the gate with a bar and a chain. ”Moooooooo!” bellowed Betty, in defiance to her captors. I told her what a bad girl she was, and all four cows turned to look at me. Then they turned around and walked the worn path along the fence, searching for another opening. Hoo boy. This is going to be a challenge. And this happens for a couple of days every month? I think we need to dial 1-800-BULL. In a hurry.

he girls and I pulled into the yard last week just in time to see Donkey leading several dozen sheep through the open shed door. We had just had a freak storm and the wind had blown the door off its latch, tempting the animals to venture through. I don’t think the beasts had been in the yard more than a few minutes, however, because although my Brussels sprouts had taken a beating and my spinach was no longer in existence, the rest of the garden was pretty much untouched. As Paulina, Annie and I scattered and took up posts around the munching herd, Donkey looked up from where he was sniffing a bunch of cosmos. I guess he knew he was in trouble, because he turned and kicked up his heels before leaping over the lawnmower and crashing his way back through the shed to the barnyard. Polly surprised a bunch of sheep over by the tomatoes, and I blocked them from running down the drive. We opened the barnyard gate and a smart one went through. About a dozen sheep followed him, while the rest tried to go back the way they came, through the shed. They crashed around in there between the tractor and the workbench for a few seconds, and then they discovered a stack of turkey feed bags. Just a few quick bites with those sharp sheep teeth, and the feed was spilling out on the garage floor. We rushed the sheep, forcing them to the back of the shed and out the door. One ewe panicked, running back out into the garden. “Oh no, you don’t!” Paulina cried, skipping over sheep landmines to cut her off on the other side of the swimming pool. She turned the sheep and led her back through the gate to the safety of the barnyard. “That was exciting,” I smiled at the girls, who have surprisingly good shepherding instincts for city folk. I now have more manure on my lawn than in my garden. Betty and Ginger, our two cows, must have been thinking the sheep were having all the fun, because the next morning they thought it was their turn. The phone rang at six a.m. “Good morning, Mrs. Fisher,” my neighbour said. “Your cow is on my lawn. No, she’s fine. She’s just munching away.” We have very understanding neighbours. Not only do they get unsolicited manure deposits and shrub trimming, but occasionally they get a Donkey peering through

From the best in televisions to a complete theatre in your home, everything you could possibly need is here under one roof. Come and check out their new theatre room or bring in your new home or renovation plans and let them work with you to design a home theatre system to suit your needs.

Box Office has been designing and installing home theatre and home audio for over 10 years and can handle anything you can dream of. Brand names include Sharp, LG, Sony, Harmon Kardon, and Sinclair (possibly the best speakers on the planet), Monster, and Nuvo Whole Home Audio.
COMPUTERS AND GAMES
Over 1000 New games in the game zone - all formats & consoles available. A new section devoted only to computers and gaming is part of the plan. With a focus on laptops, they promise to have everything you could possibly need to get underway. Looking for that perfect back to school computer, look no farther.
