RAMS home opener Life changing trip to help in Nicaragua Special to the News

Sports – And they’re off! The Stittsville RAMS juniors are playing their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League home opener this coming Sunday, Sept. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. The RAMS will be facing off against the Renfrew Timberwolves. RAMS officials are hoping to “Fill the Barn” for this home opener which will be the first time that this junior B team wears the RAMS logo and colours. This is the result of a three year partnership which the Stittsville Royals Junior Hockey Club entered into with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association. Under the agreement, the junior team and organization will be known as the Stittsville RAMS. In addition, the RAMS will be joining with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association on developmental and sponsorship opportunities, all aimed at fostering and improving the game of hockey within the Stittsville community.

News - They travelled to Nicaragua to make a difference. And they did, by helping to build a school there and effecting change in the lives of those there. But back home, this trio of Sacred Heart Catholic High School students has found that their Nicaraguan experience has been life changing for them as well. Matt Smart, a grade ten student, Brooke Sullivan, a grade 12 student, and Isabelle O’Connor, a grade eight student, travelled to Nicaragua from June 26 to July 5 as part of a group of 13 going there under the auspices of SchoolBox, a non-profit organization which since its founding in the year 2006 has built 17 schools in Nicaragua. Upon returning, Brooke Sullivan not only found that she missed those that she had met and worked with in Nicaragua but she found that she had a changed perspective. She is finding that she is more careful shopping, asking herself if she really needs what she is buying. She says that she is tending to save and value things more. In addition, she will no longer sug-

She says that she has gotten back so much more than she gave on the trip, gaining a new perspective. Isabelle O’Connor says that she now appreciates things like flushing toilets and drinking water so much more after spending time in Nicaragua with its rudimentary toilets. Indeed, she realizes that while she only had to experi-

ence the Nicaraguan conditions for ten days, those who live there live with those conditions all the time. Matt Smart said that the Nicaraguan experience helped him learn to appreciate the schooling that he enjoys here and, just generally, how much Canadians take for granted in their lives. He said that his parents have even commented that he has come back home as a different person. See TRIP, page 4

100th birthday celebration for Joan Gray of Stittsville lucy.hass@metroland.com

News – “Just wonderfulâ€? is how Joan Gray of Stittsville describes the 100th birthday party she “thoroughly enjoyedâ€? at the Carp fairgrounds in Carp last Saturday. Wonderful also describes the woman who was at the centre of the celebration. Honours owed, the voices of the Military Wives Choir rose through the heavy autumn skies and family members beamed with pride. In the special events tent at the Carp Farmers’ Market – a place Joan has supported regularly since it ďŹ rst opened – a long line of well wishers paid tribute to the gracious star of the show. CertiďŹ cates of congratulations were presented on behalf of Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor. Brad McNulty presented a certiďŹ cate on be-

half of Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and also conveyed Mr. MacLaren’s personal message to Joan: “You shouldn’t only be congratulated for reaching 100 – an amazing milestone in itself – you should be praised for the love, caring and wisdom you’ve given so generously every day for 100 years.â€? Municipal ofďŹ cials who addressed the audience of family and friends and who presented congratulatory certiďŹ cates were city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and city of Ottawa West Carleton/March ward councillor Eli El-Chantiry. Councillor El-Chantiry, who is also the city’s deputy mayor at this time, presented Joan with a book about the city on behalf of mayor Jim Watson. Lt.-Cdr. Martyn Reid of the Royal Navy, representing the British High Commission, read a greeting from Queen Elizabeth as follows: “Mrs. Joan Gray. I am delighted to hear that you’re celebrating your 100th birthday. I send you my warmest congratulations on this

happy occasion and wish you an enjoyable day. Elizabeth R.� The Queen’s message was presented by Lt.Cdr. Reid on behalf of Governor-General David Johnston who also sent greetings of his own. “Over the years we have experienced the

world’s many cycles, revolutions and changes. Our own personal history is forever woven into the tapestry of Canadian heritage,� the Governor-General wrote. See JOAN GRAY, page 5

Trip to Nicaragua to build school is life changing Continued from page 1

Upon arriving in Nicaragua, the trio, with their group which included five youth and eight adult chaperons, spent their first day visiting a school which SchoolBox efforts had built and interacting with the youngsters there. They then travelled to the city of Leone where their school building project was located, receiving some orientation before next visiting the construction site.

They stayed in a hotel during their stay in Nicaragua and besides helping to build a one room school, they did participate in other activities such an historical tour of the area. The school that was being built was replacing a school that had collapsed in April due to an earthquake. Helping to build this school, Matt, Brooke and Isabelle and the others in their group carried a lot of water and a lot of stone and moved a lot of earth, all related to the construction

and making cement for the project. The floor, walls and front step of the school had been completed when they left, with the roof, windows and doors to be installed in future days. While there building the school, the SchoolBox group developed a strong attachment to the youngsters in that area as well as some of the mothers who not only cooked the lunches which featured fresh food (“so good,� reports Isabelle) but also helped sometimes with the project.

Matt notes that although he and others in the group did not know these people in Nicaragua before going there, the close connections that they made during their brief stay there made it hard to say good bye. “They become your second family,� Matt says, citing a sadness when the plane was taking off from Nicaragua as he realized that he might never again see the people in Nicaragua that he had so quickly grown to love while helping to build the school.

Joan Gray honoured on 100th birthday “It is therefore a pleasure to join your family and friends in wishing you a very happy 100th birthday as well as many, many more.” The noon-hour celebration closed with a champagne toast, birthday cake and tea. Joan Middleton Gray was born in Reigate, Surrey in England on Sept. 12, 1914. Granddaughter Breanna Gray shared some background on her beloved “Baba.” “She lived at the Redlands estate with her siblings and attended boarding school as a girl while her father and mother travelled,” Breanna said. “She was in England during World War One and World War Two and acted as a podiatrist during the Second World War. She was studying and

practicing when the war started. Her original plan was to become a doctor but her father said “No, women do not become doctors.” Such were the times back then. Joan moved to Canada in 1945 to start a family with her husband and had three sons, Doug, Bob and Joan. After some marital problems, she divorced her husband and then was responsible for her three sons. She had not practiced podiatry in over ten years but knew she could make a living with this career. She opened up a practice in Quebec because of the rules on the Ontario side of the border. She would drive from her home in Ottawa to her practice in Quebec each day for work. Breanna speaks with pride of her grandmother’s decision to make a life for herself and her sons in Canada, all on her own.

Trip to Nicaragua Continued from page 4

Isabelle says that she hopes to go back to Nicaragua at some point in time, mainly because of the people who live there. But she also wants to go to volunteer in Kenya at some point. As for Matt, he would readily return to Nicaragua on another trip. “I would go back in a heartbeat,” he says. Brooke maintained a daily journal while in Nicaragua, usually writ-

ing late into the night to record her thoughts about the day. The journal ended up as a 102 page document. Matt and Isabelle did not keep a daily journal, although Matt now has two and a half albums full of photos from the trip. For Brooke, this was her second trip on a SchoolBox excursion to Nicaragua to build a school this year. She had gone on a previous SchoolBox trip in March when a group was involved in building a four-room school.

Winning team in Showdown lives up to its ‘Victory’ name Sports - The winning team certainly lived up to its name in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League’s Final Weekend Showdown at Alexander Grove in Stittsville last weekend. The I4C Victory team chalked up victory after victory on its way to being crowned as the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) champion for 2014. This Showdown tournament began on Friday evening and ended up on Sunday after most of Saturday’s games were rained out, forcing play to be completed on Sunday. I4C Victory had launched the Showdown tournament action on Monday, Sept. 8 with a 5-1 win over the Quyon Flyers. The team followed this up with a 9-2 win over the Kars Aces last Saturday before the rain wiped out the rest of the day’s action. This victory over Kars sent the I4C Victory squad to the ďŹ nal game, with the Micksburg Twins as the opponent. The I4C Victory team won this game by a 6-1 score to take the GOFL championship title for 2014. Other games in the Showdown tournament saw Kars beat Micksburg 2-0 on Friday night; Micksburg defeated Quyon 6-1 on Saturday before the rain came; and Micksburg shut out Kars 7-0 on Sunday to advance to the championship title game against the I4C Victory squad. An opening ceremony for this GOFL Final Weekend Showdown was held last Friday evening at the

Alexander Grove diamond before ball action took place. A Stittsville Legion colour party of Dave Cashman and Mike StefďŹ n led Korean War veteran and community sports icon Johnny Leroux to the mound, along with Mia Gosham-Hamer who sang the national anthem. Johnny then threw out the ceremonial ďŹ rst pitch for this Showdown tournament, tossing the ball to Micksburg Twins catcher Chad Costello. The Stittsville 56ers, who play in the GOFL but failed to make this Showdown tournament this year, losing out in the preliminary playoff round, held a BBQ/canteen at the event. The Stittsville legion operated a beer garden on site for the event. Sponsors of this year’s Final Weekend Showdown, which was hosted by the Stittsville 56ers, included the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and Molson’s. The Greater Ottawa Fastball League and its predecessor, the Kemptville Men’s Fastball League, dates back to the year 2000. Championship teams since 2000 have been Dolco in 2000, Macton in 2001, Lomor in 2002, Team Easton in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, Stittsville in 2008 and 2009, Kars in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and Micksburg in 2013. This was the fourth year that a Final Weekend Showdown tournament format was used to determine the league champion.

Cycling with caution

T

he death of a cyclist in an Ottawa charity bike ride on Sept. 6 has sparked a flurry of discussion concerning bike safety. Laurie Strano, 40, was killed in a crash with a garbage truck on River Road, south of Manotick, while participating in the fifth-annual Ride the Rideau, a fundraiser for cancer research run by the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. It’s still too early to make any decisions about the future of the event, as Ottawa police are still investigating the crash, Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation said during a Sept. 8 press conference. But there are a few obvious considerations about the event, which should already be under discussion. First, the route: event organizers might want to consider a different location for the event, one that is further removed from traffic speeding along at 80 kilometres an hour and sometimes greater speeds. River Road only has two vehicle lanes and no designated bicycle lane, making it a tight fit

between cyclists and passing cars. It only takes one distracted moment, either on the part of the motorist or the cyclist, for a collision to occur. Ride the Rideau already has a number of safety measures in place: police were contracted to work several intersections to watch over a portion of the ride – but they were located north of where the crash occurred. The foundation’s safety measures included some 300 volunteers, many of whom acted as ride-along guides, and eight police officers. Part of the problem lies squarely in the lap of the cyclists, suggested several of the participants of the event on the Ride the Rideau Facebook page. One competitor said he saw several competitors “blow right through� four way stops. Others complained about the fact the event went on despite rainfall in the morning. But even if organizers were unable to change the behaviour of cyclists, Ride the Rideau would become a much safer event if organizers simply selected a different route.

Becoming alarmed by the silence

A

car alarm went off the other day in the neighbourhood. It didn’t last long, just six honks. Car alarms used to go on for hours, or so it seemed. This one was, however briefly, unnerving and annoying, but – the thought suddenly occurred – it was rare. Yeah: we don’t hear them that much anymore. For which we can be grateful. It wasn’t long ago the peace of the evening was frequently broken by the steady honking of a distressed automobile, waiting, as we all were, for its owner to do something about it. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it’s interesting to know why all that should suddenly cease. Looking for an answer, you type a couple of phrases into Google, where

enon about fewer car alarms going off. Some speculate that car alarm technology has improved – in other words that birds and specks of dust and clouds passing overhead don’t set the horn to honking any more. Technology has made a difference in another way as well. Cars, we learn, are harder to steal, mostly due to innovations that have nothing to do with alarms. Newer cars are built with systems that keep them from starting unless the driver uses a key recognized by the built-in computer. And there’s tracking technology available too. Because of this some manufacturers have stopped putting noise-making alarms on their cars. So maybe there are fewer cars with alarms, and maybe fewer people are trying to steal the cars.

bear out this last point. It’s intriguing what you can find out just looking for a couple of facts about car alarms. What you find out, courtesy of The Economist, is that crime has been in a steady decline all around the world since the 1950s, and nowhere is this more evident than in the area of automobile theft. In New York, the annual number of car thefts has dropped by 93 per cent over the past 20 years. In England and Wales, 400,000 cars were reported stolen in 1997; in 2012, the number was just 86,000. Who says there’s no good news in the paper? Certain questions remain. Can we really believe that the welcome silence in our neighbourhoods is solely due to a world-wide trend away from grand theft auto? What about the well-grounded suspicion that most car alarms are set off by law-abiding people doing something silly with their car keys?

One possible explanation is that manufacturers have made car keys more idiot-proof. The other possible explanation is that we have made ourselves more idiot-proof. Could that be true? If so, a celebration is in order. Just don’t honk your horn.

$3,000 raised at Scottish Day John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The fundraising for the new west Ottawa residential hospice has grown by $3,000 thanks to the proceeds from the recent Scottish Day in memory of the late Ivan Warner of Stittsville which was held at The Glen Scottish Restaurant on Sunday, Aug. 24. The formal presentation of the $3,000 was made on Thursday, Sept. 11 at The Glen, with a giant cheque representing the donation being handed over to Ruth Cameron, the director of event planning and site management for Hospice Care Ottawa, the organization that provides hospice care in the Ottawa area. Members of the Warner and McConnell families of Stittsville as well as Kathleen McConville and Luciana McConville from The Glen Scottish Restaurant presented the donation. The Scottish Day fundraiser was held in memory of the late Ivan Warner who was chosen as Stittsville’s Citizen of the Year in 2013. He passed away soon after receiving the honour, spending his final days in hospice care. This experienced revealed to his family and JOHN CURRY/METROLAND friends the value and benefit of hospice care With a giant cheque showing the $3,000 raised for Hospice Care Ottawa’s capital campaign and made them strong advocates for a new

residential hospice to serve the residents of the west Ottawa area. Such a new residential hospice is now planned by Hospice Care Ottawa for a site on McCurdy Drive in Kanata, with a capital fundraising campaign now underway to make it a reality. This Scottish Day fundraiser at The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza in Stittsville was organized by the Warner and McConnell families of Stittsville along with Theresa Qadri and Christine Philipson, all in partnership with the Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub. The Scottish Day included a performance by members of the Arnprior MacNab Pipes and Drums and a friendly tug-of-war copetition in front of the restaurant involving teams representing the Ottawa Fire Service firefighters from Station 46 in Stittsville and Cadets from the 706 Snowy Owl Squadron. This Scottish Day also featured Scottish dancing and other entertainment as well as a bake sale and silent auction. One fun highlight of the day was when The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub staff members Stephanie Elmsley and Sarah St. Michael got the opportunity to smack a pie into the face of James Clarke of the restaurant. This one pie throw raised over $200 itself.

‘Holes for Hospice’ raises $46,000 for hospice Special to the News

News - The new residential hospice to serve the west Ottawa area is now even closer to reality thanks to golfers in the fourth annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” tournament last Friday. A total of $46,000 was raised in this tournament, bringing the amount raised by this tournament over four years for the Hospice Care Ottawa capital campaign for the new residential hospice to just shy of $200,000. And it’s not stopping here, as the date has already been set for next year’s fifth annual “Holes for Hospice” tournament which will be held on Friday, Sept. 18, again at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in rural Kanata which has been the site of all of these tournaments. At the windup dinner at the tournament, Lisa Sullivan, who is executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa, expressed the hope that the six million dollar capital fundraising campaign for the new residential hospice aspect of the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata will be completed by this December so that construction can get underway. It was only at last year’s tournament that the

purchase of this new Kanata site for a hospice at 110 McCurdy Drive in Kanata was announced. Since then, renovations of the former church facility on the site have been undertaken, providing office space there for Hospice Care Ottawa staff. Ms. Sullivan announced at this year’s tournament that this fall a community hospice program will be launched at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, providing more hospice services to the area. The tournament itself this year had cool weather but no rain and the sun did come out during the afternoon, improving the playing conditions. Again this year there was a silent auction associated with the tournament, with a host of items up for grabs including a travel bag, a Moxie’s gift card, a set of men’s golf clubs, two tickets to an Ottawa Senators game (100 level), Easton hockey skates, a Los Angeles Kings jacket and more. This annual “Holes for Hospice” golf tournament is named after Lennox Sterling, a Richmond resident who received end-of-life care at a hospice in Ottawa. This experience made ensuring more hospice beds in the Ottawa area

a cause of importance to Lennox’s family and friends. The result was this annual tournament to raise funds to help create these new hospice beds. Hospice care allows a person to die in dignity in a home-like setting. All hospice care is provided free of charge. The funds raised by this annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” golf tour-

nament have all gone to making the dream of more hospice beds in Ottawa a reality. This is happening with the capital campaign now underway to add a residential hospice addition to the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on McCurdy Drive in Kanata. This hospice will serve the residents of the west Ottawa area.

$25,000 for old growth cedar forest John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Things are falling into place for the 8.9 hectare old growth cedar forest immediately west of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. Earlier this year, this city-owned forested area was identified by the Ottawa Stewardship Council as the urban woodlot that would be the focus of its environmental stewardship efforts this year. An approach was made by Ottawa Stewardship Council chair Janet Mason to the Stittsville Village Association which endorsed the Council’s proposal to preserve the forest, enhance it with some plantings and erect some interpretative signs about its environmental significance. This led to an approach to Sacred Heart Catholic High School to enlist the engagement of its students in the project. All this has now come together and these efforts are being supported by a $25,000 donation

from Waste Management to the Ottawa Stewardship Council for this project. These funds will allow the Ottawa Stewardship Council to proceed with its enhancement plans for the area, planting some trees and erecting some interpretative signs while keeping the area in as natural a state as possible to preserve the 100 to 150 year old cedar trees that can be found there. The long term stewardship of this old growth cedar forest will involve students from the adjacent Sacred Heart Catholic High School who will monitor the forest in partnership with the city of Ottawa and probably the Stittsville Village Association. Glenn Carr, a science and outdoor education teacher at Sacred Heart whose students have done projects in the forest in the past, speaking at the presentation ceremony of the $25,000 donation on Thursday, Sept. 11, identified the school’s involvement with the Ottawa Stewardship Council, the city and the Stittsville Village Association as an “unbelievable opportunity”

for the school, benefitting students in such courses as outdoor education and a Specialist High Skills Major focused on the environment. He said that Sacred Heart students had been using this forested area for years, doing various school projects. But now the students will be collecting real data and helping to monitor the forest, he noted, adding that this will be giving students “real life stuff” to do and experience while still in high school. Mr. Carr said that this partnership with the Ottawa Stewardship Council about this old growth cedar forest will get students connected with their community. Janet Mason, chair of the Ottawa Stewardship Council, envisions that there will be four to five interpretative signs erected, probably at various entrances to the forest. She would like these signs all to be different, some dealing with the forest’s ecological information and some dealing with its historical information. She feels that the Sacred Heart students and others such as those involved with the Ottawa Field Naturalist Club will be able to provide the ecological information for these signs. She will be looking to the Goulbourn Township Historical Society to perhaps provide the historical information needed for the signage. These bilingual signs will hopefully be erected by next summer. Wayne French, director of public affairs for Waste Management, who along with Waste Management’s district landfill manager Ross Wallace presented the $25,000 to the Ottawa Stewardship Council at the Stittsville Village Association meeting on Thursday, Sept. 11, noted that the funds came from a community fund set up by Waste Management from some

revenues generated by Waste Management’s former Carp Road landfill. The community funds can be accessed for community projects in the four municipal wards closest to the landfill site including the Stittsville ward. Projects such as this one involving the old growth cedar forest in Stittsville which are suggested to Waste Management and supported by the ward councillor are reviewed by Waste Management and supported with funding if considered an appropriate project. Mr. French said that Waste Management likes the community projects which its funds from this community fund to be environmental projects which this one involving the old growth cedar forest in Stittsville certainly is. He said that Waste Management appreciates being part of this project. The Stewardship Council envisions using about $15,000 for its initial work related to this old growth cedar forest area. That would leave $10,000 from this initial funding of $25,000 to be for ongoing initiatives and projects related to the area. This old growth cedar forest owned by the city of Ottawa immediately west of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville is proposed to be named by the city of Ottawa as the Kemp Woodland. It is believed that the now old growth cedar forest area was once was used by Stittsville entrepreneur John Kemp as a woodlot for providing the railway with wood. Mr. Kemp, who is also associated with Kemp’s Tavern (now Cabotto’s Restaurant) on Hazeldean Road, supplied wood to the railway in its early days in this area in the 1870’s and 1880’s.

The Ottawa Valley Hunt is a notfor-profit organization that has been maintaining the drama and spectacle of traditional British foxhunting to Ottawa’s rural countryside for almost 140 years. The Ottawa Valley Hunt operates a “drag hunt” where hounds, horses and riders chase a scene dragged along a pre-planned cross-country route.

News - Riders came from near and far including Kingston, Renfrew and Gatineau for the “Hunter Pace for Heart!” at the Ottawa Valley Hunt’s farm on Abb Road near Ashton last Sunday. And they came in numbers, with 146 riders taking part in this cross-country equestrian event that raises funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Indeed, over the past nine years, the Ottawa Valley Hunt has raised almost $35,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation with this “Hunter Pace for Heart! event. The total amount raised for the Heart and Stroke Foundation by this year’s event is not yet known due to donations still coming in but over $2,600 has been collected to date. In this “Hunter Pace for Heart!” ride, teams of riders follow a marked route over trails and through fields. Each team is timed and the group whose ride is closest to the ideal “Hunter Pace” as clocked earlier in the day by an experienced Ottawa Valley Hunt rider is determined to be the winner. This year’s “Hunter Pace for Heart!” ride covered approximately 20 kilometers over the countryside around the Hunt’s farm. The pair of Kathy Bryden and Nicole Erwood finished in first place for being closest to the optimum or ideal time. They finished only 0.5 seconds off the optimum time which was two hours and 23 minutes. Ribbons and prizes were provided to the top six teams who were closest to the optimum time. Other winners were Ashley MacDonald and Cheryl Schramm, second; Shannon McKenzie and Alex Loiselle, third; Doug Menzies (riding on his own), fourth; Christina Parent-Gagnon and Claudine Vachon Champagne, fifth; and Inger Hagglund and Melanie Otto, sixth. Prizes were also presented to the male and female riders who raised the most for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Anna Krupp was the top female fundraiser while Doug Menzies was the top male fundraiser. A barbeque was held in conjunction with this “Hunter Pace for Heart!” event.

Stantec staff volunteer at Food Bank’s garden John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stantec is a design firm with staff in offices in Canada, the United States, Barbados, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and India. Yet, despite the firm’s worldwide presence, for it community remains a key focus. That’s why the firm launched “Stantec in the Community Day” in 2013 as a day of worldwide volunteerism in the community. The company’s second annual “Stantec in the Community Day” happened last Monday, Sept. 15, with over 5,500 Stantec employees in various countries volunteering with community organizations. In Ottawa, the Ottawa Food Bank was the focus of this “Stantec in the Community Day” with a dozen Stantec employees helping to sort and box food at the Ottawa Food Bank’s warehouse and another two dozen Stantec employees taking to the outdoors to help harvest crops at the Ottawa Food Bank’s farm garden at the Tom Black family farm on Fallowfield Road in Stittsville. At the four-plus acre garden, Stantec staff members spent the morning helpint to harvest carrots and beets. R0012896153

This included staff from all levels right up to the highest management including staff in engineering, finance and other fields – even a legal counsel. Francois Lauzon, a senior principal at Stantec in Ottawa who was one of those volunteering at the Ottawa Food Bank garden, pointed out that Stantec believes it is important to be helping in the community in which staff members work, noting that the Ottawa Food Bank helps so many in the community. He said that volunteering in the community helps staff feel like active and contributing members of the community. “We love it,” he said about the opportunity to volunteer in the community. Mr. Lauzon said that volunteering in the community provides an added dimension in the lives of staff as a person gets to work to help the community and is not working just for the business itself. He said that being able to give back to the community through volunteer work does make a difference in how staff members approach their day to day work. He added that working for a firm like Stantec should not be just about working for the firm and nothing else. It should also be about helping others in the community which is what happens on “Stantec in the Community Day.” And for Stantec in Ottawa, helping in the community and in particular helping the Ottawa Food Bank does not happen just on this “Stantec in the Community Day.” Stantec has been a supporter of the Ottawa Food Bank, donating $20,000 for the purchase of a new Food Bank truck. In addition, one staff member donated hours of

volunteer work to examine the Food Bank’s delivery service and to design new routing that is more efficient and provides for the right size vehicle to be making the deliveries. Ange Brekalo, one of the Stantec staff members volunteering at the Ottawa Food Bank garden last Monday, said that Stantec in Ottawa tries to be involved with the community all through the year, not just on this “Stantec in the Community Day.” This involves volunteer efforts and events throughout the year, such as organizing a hockey tournament. She said that Stantec tries to undertake its design work always with the community in mind and this fosters an attitude of staff members wanting to be part of the community in which they live and work. This year the Ottawa Food Bank garden at the Black family farm in Goulbourn has been expanded from last year, with the site now covering more than four acres. This year’s rainy summer proved not to be the best growing conditions for the garden’s tomatoes and potatoes but the garden is still expected to reach the harvesting goal for its crops, some 65,000 to 70,000 pounds. While tomatoes and tomatoes may not have liked the rain, the squash have flourished, although now there is a need for some dry harvesting weather to ensure a bountiful harvest with

the squash. Plans are to increase the acerage under cultivation at the Black farm over the coming years, eventually reaching seven acres by 2018, with an expected crop yield of 110,000 pounds. Fresh produce is required by the Ottawa Food Bank to meet a constantly increasing demand. The Ottawa Food Bank collects and redistributes food to 140 member agencies in the Ottawa area. These member agencies in turn serve the needs of about 48,000 clients each month. The Ottawa Food Bank’s community harvest program has been using land at the Black farm since 2012 under the guidance of the Ottawa Food Bank’s community harvest coordinator Jason Gray. In 2012, l.8 acres was planted while 2.6 acres were planted last year. Volunteers like those from Stantec last Monday are essential to both the maintenance and harvest functions at this community harvest garden project. In 2013, almost 500 volunteers contributed a total of 1,544 hours of volunteer labour at the site. This involved corporate teams, students, community groups and individuals. Stantec employs more than 14,000 staff working in over 230 locations around the world. Its design work consists of professional consulting in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management and project economics. Stantec tries to establish a long-term commitment to the people and places where it works. Stantec’s office serving the Ottawa area is located at the intersection of Baseline Road and Clyde Avenue.

Book about history of Richmond Fair John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Those who attend this year’s Richmond Fair will have the opportunity not only to enjoy the 2014 edition of the event but also have the opportunity to visit all of the Fair’s past activities, right back to its founding in 1844. This can all be done in the pages of a new book compiled by Marlene Greene of Richmond which provides a host of not only facts but also stories attached to the history of the Richmond Fair. Entitled “Richmond Fair – A Country Experience,” the book has just recently been printed following much research and effort by Marlene and during this year’s Fair, it will be on sale for $15 a copy at the Fair office on the fairgrounds.

GIRONES LAWYERS

INJURY LAW

The book outlines the history of the Fair, dating back to 1844, gives important dates all the way from the formation of the County of Carleton Agricultural Society in 1832 right through to the present day and there are lists of all of the presidents, secretaries and treasurers of the Agricultural Society from 1836 through to 2014. The 32-page book also features several pages showing old photographs of Fair activities as well as examples of old Richmond Fair prize list booklets and Fair passes. Among the old photos are images of the current Dining Hall when it was the Richmond town hall, photos of various schools involved in the School Fairs that used to be a feature of the Fair and photos related to the Agricultural Building that was on the fairgrounds until demolished in 1979 to make way for the new Richmond Curling Club facility.

The book also is filled with interesting Fair facts: for instance, in 1865, the Fair featured a high-wire demonstration on a rope stretched from the top of a hotel in Bells Corners to a house across the road, with a man in tights and carrying a balance pole attempting the crossing; in 1884, Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald attended the Fair; harness horse racing was a highlight of the Fair in the 1930’s and 1940’s; and the 1949 Fair saw a car given away. There is just so much about the Richmond Fair contained in the pages of this book com-

Flagstone is a popular, affordable and easy-to-maintain pavement option amongst home and business owners, and for those in the OttawaCarlton region, Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com is the go-to source for all your flagstone needs. With flagstone, maintenance is effortless. To avoid stains, simply sweep it regularly to ensure any loose dirt or plant debris don’t stain your stone by staying on it for too long.

piled by Marlene Greene. Make sure that you get out at the Fair this year and while there, purchase a book. And then, later at home, while memories of this year’s Fair are still vivid in your mind, you can read through the pages of this book and enjoy as well through the printed word and photos many of the activities and events that have happened at the Fair over the past 170 years. Copies of the book can be obtained from Marlene Greene at P. O. Box 783, Richmond, Ontario K0A 2Z0.

dilute your favourite brand of bleach or muriatic acid with water and spot clean as necessary. If you prefer, you also have cleaning options available that are specifically made with your flagstone pavement in mind. Canlok Stone also takes the guesswork out of finding cleaning supplies for your flagstone pavement as they provide not only cleaners, but also sealers to protect your investment. Picking up a flagstone cleaner is a good idea once your pavement has settled as all flagstone pavement is susceptible to water stains, particularly if the water in your area contains chemicals such as alkaline or if it has added minerals. Even with the utmost care, stains are still likely to

occur in outdoor living spaces, especially if you use them for cooking and dining. With stains considered, make sure to seal all of your flagstone pavement when it is completed. The sealer goes directly into your stone’s pores and helps to prevent any damage caused by spills. Just be sure to avoid sealers with glossy finishes as they can alter your pavement’s appearance— instead use a penetrating acrylic sealer with a matte finish. By using that instead, any water or oil that hits your pavement turns into beads. To further protect your pavement, reapply this sealer yearly to shield it from damage and help maintain its colour. For more on flagstone pavement and care, contact Canlok Stone. Call 613-828-7686, visit them online canlok.com or in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean to learn more.

IS YOU

WINNING…

THE REALITY IS,

YOU’RE HELPING CHEO On August 4, 2013 the Laviolette family was enjoying a fun day on the water when disaster struck. Brad was tubing behind the boat when he fell off and was thrown toward the back of the boat. “He told us that he could see it all happening before him. Brad said that the propeller was coming straight for his stomach. He was strong enough to push away but the propeller hit both his legs,” says dad Rob with emotion in his voice. Brad was wearing a wet suit which was fortunate for him as it was able to hold his legs in place. Sadly, the propeller severed both his legs and one tibia and he needed to be airlifted to CHEO. Surgeons worked hard to save his legs. He lost 80 percent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him heal and get mobile again. Brad is a true superhero! He spent two and half months at CHEO and it was not an easy road but he was a fighter. He began in a wheelchair, graduated to a walker, then crutches and today is standing tall and proud walking on his own two feet unassisted. What true determination! He’s had multiple surgeries, had a bone infection that required six months of antibiotics and yet this 17-year-old is still smiling. In a recent radio interview

Brad commented on the staff at CHEO. “Doctor Kontio, the nurses on the fifth floor and child life specialist Heather were all so great to me,” said Brad. “I’ve been fully supported by my family as well.” “I refer to Bradley as my superhero. His father and I are so proud of him for all he has overcome,” says mom Manon. “Our entire family has been so impressed with the staff at CHEO; from doctors to custodians. We were informed at every step what was happening with Bradley. The compassion and understanding from all the staff was really comforting.” The Laviolette family knows all too well that no one knows when they’ll need CHEO. By supporting the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery you make it possible for the staff at CHEO to do their job…saving the lives of children and youth. Just ask Brad.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE TRAUMA TEAM, REHAB TEAM, AND THE FIFTH FLOOR STAFF WHO TOOK CARE OF HIM. THEY SAVED MY SON’S LIFE AND HIS LEGS!

The opportunity to grow a family overnight does not come around very often, but three brothers in Orleans want to give that chance to an existing family with big hearts and a few rooms to spare. These children are already part of the community in Orleans, it’s their home, and they would love to be able to stay here. These siblings were lucky enough to stay together in foster care thanks to a caring foster parent, but now need a forever family that can help them grow and prosper throughout the rest of their childhood, into their teens, and onward into adulthood. The children themselves are doing really well. They are active, inquisitive, energetic and just lots of fun. The oldest—a pre-teen—does well in school and has a strong interest in technology, and would respond well to parents who share those interests. The younger brothers are more cuddly and bubbly, they just need the support, stability and dedication of a forever family to help them reach their full potential in school, though they’re still very early on in their journey and have lots of time to figure things out. All three love spending time outdoors, and would really enjoy being part of a family that spends time outside, especially around water, as fishing and swimming are right up their alley!

Ottawa Police Service chief Charles Bordeleau is fully supportive of officers running in uniform in the 9RunRun Emergency Services Run to increase awareness of mental health issues, particularly as these issues apply to the policing profession. The 9RunRun Emergency Services Run has in the past involved participation by members of the Ottawa Police Service as well as by members of the Ottawa Fire Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service. However, this will be the first time that Ottawa Police Service personnel will run in uniform. The fifth annual 9RunRun Emergency Services Run is happening in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18. Already many citizens have registered to take part in 9RunRun 2014 but more are encouraged to participate. There’s a distance for everyone – a half marathon, a 10K run and a 2K family run. The fundraising goal for 9RunRun this year is $50,000 in keeping with the event’s fifth anniversary year. 9RunRun has partnered with Do It For Daron (DIFD) again this year with the funds raised specifically going to support “Is It Just Me?”, a youth mental health awareness program run by The Royal. To date, over 4,000 students have attended the half day sessions of this program and the fundraising from this year’s 9RunRun will give many more students the opportunity to participate in the program. The Bushtukah 10K run will be starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18 while the Bushtukah half marathon will get underway at 9:15 a.m. The BMO Nesbitt Burns 2K family run will start at 10 a.m. Registration is now open online at www.9runrun.ca.

Jaan Kolk sings at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Folk music was very much front and centre in Ottawa last week as the Ottawa Folk Festival ran from Wednesday, Sept. 10 through Sunday, Sept. 14 at Hog’s Back. And it was much the same at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its regular music evening last Friday as folk music was in the spotlight. This spotlight shone on singer/ guitarist Jaan Kolk who delivered an evening of songs and stories with his relaxed singing style while accompanying himself on the guitar. He performed wearing a narrowbrimmed hat which can best be de-

scribed as a style of hat associated with Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen. And for a folk singer, you couldn’t have a better role model than Leonard Cohen, a folk and folk rock icon who turns 80 years old this coming Monday, Sept. 22. A member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame as well as the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Leonard Cohen’s 1984 song Hallelujah has become one of the most oft-performed songs in music history. Jaan Kolk and Leonard Cohen are alike not only in their style of hat but also in their choice of music, the kind that tells stories. So, at the Friday music evening at

the Gaia Java shop last Friday, you heard Jaan Kolk, for example, sing a traditional old blues song, followed up by a story song in the form of what Jaan called a “murder ballad,” one of folk music’s many variations. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java coffee shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street happen every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, Sept. 19, the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop will feature performer Greg Kelly who sings folk and country songs about life.

Charity bike ride raises over $54,000 Special to the News

on hand for the “Welcome Home� ceremony, providing support and encouragement to the riders. Certificates of participation from the city of Ottawa were presented to each cyclist and each of the four support team members. This “Ride To Turn The Tide� is possible thanks to the generosity of a number of corporate sponsors: the Joan Smith Real Estate Family of Royal LePage, Bob Laughton of Bushtukah and Renaldo Saikili of Scotia McLeod. In addition, many local food stores and businesses provide support in the form of gift cards which are redeemable for

supplies and food for the cyclists. And Nancy Hough, for one, could not be happier with the outcome of this year’s ride. “Speaking as a cyclist, it was a blast,� she writes. “As a grandparent, it was an important event to be part of; and as an individual, it was humbling to have such generous support.� This “Ride To Turn The Tide� this year was highlighted by the enthusiasm of all those involved, by the marvelous hospitality experienced en route and by the incredible support which the event attracted.

The Ride is a partnership involving the Grassroot Grannies and several other groups in the region including the Mississippi Grannies in Almonte, the Lanark County Grannies in Perth and Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe. These groups all ensured that there was a warm reception and also terrific food present at every stop along this year’s route. Lunches on the second and third days of the ride were provided by the Mississippi Grannies and the United Church Women of Merrickville respectively. Dinner on the first night in Perth was provided by the Lanark

County Grannies while billeting and the evening meal on the second night was provided by the All About Kids Grannies of Metcalfe. This collaboration among the groups truly marks this as a special event. The Stephen Lewis Foundation, which was founded in 2003 by former Canadian politician and former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations Stephen Lewis, launched its “Grandmothers to Grandmothers� campaign in 2006 to encourage grandmothers in Canada to help support grandmothers in Africa caring for children orphaned by AIDS.

News - The fifth year of a three-day charity bike ride. Impressive. Twentytwo cyclists including seven first time riders involved in the 270 kilometer event. Super. Over $54,000 raised for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers To Grandmothers campaign, surpassing the ride’s $45,000 goal. Awesome. All of this happened in the Grassroot Grannies fifth annual “Ride To Turn The Tide,� an event first started by Nancy Hough of Stittsville. Good weather, safe riding, lots of camaraderie and much commitment by the participants made this year’s ride, which happened from Wednesday, Sept. 3 to Friday, Sept. 5, the most successful “Ride To Turn The Tide� so far. This was evidenced by the fact that over $54,000 was raised, well above the fundraising goal of $45,000. It was also evidenced by having 22 cyclists involved including seven who were participating for the first time. In addition, this year three staff from the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers To Grandmothers campaign were on site for the ride. Two staff, namely Gerri Lutaaya and Laura Fraser, participated in the ride’s last evening in Metcalfe organized by the All About Kids Grannies and then they cycled the last day with the team, gaining a real “feel� for the event. Although they are not seasoned cyclists, they gamely rode the final 52 kilometers with the group. Graham Coultas, the national director of the Grandmothers To Grandmothers campaign, attended the group’s “Welcome Home� celebration ceremony on Friday, Sept. 5 at noon at the Bushtukah store at the Grant Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. In his remarks at the ceremony, Mr. Coultas described how the Stephen Lewis Foundation selects projects to be funded, how the funds are transferred to the project and how 90 percent of all funds raised go to support projects. These projects include sending children to school and providing basic health care while also helping people develop the means to be selfsupporting by, for example, providing sewing machines or providing bicycles to allow transportation to markets where their crafts can be sold. He spoke about how the Stephen Lewis Foundation uses the funds raised in an event like this Ride To Turn The Tide and provided concrete examples of just how such funds make a huge difference in the lives of African grandmothers. It is really all about Canadian grannies helping African grannies. Once again this year, city of Ottawa councillors Shad Qadri, Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson were

West Ottawa Homefront holds Meet and Greet Pub Night Special to the News

News - There’s a support group formed for the wives of military personnel in the Ottawa area. Initially called the Stittsville CF Spous-

es when formed almost two years ago, the group has now grown to over 300 people, involving those not only from Stittsville but from a wide area from Barrhaven to Carleton Place.

The expanded area has brought about a name change to the West Ottawa Homefront. The group meets for monthly breakfasts at the Bistro 54 restaurant at the Amber-

D’Arcy McGee’s Pub in Kanata last Friday evening is filled with 37 ladies from all walks of military life who attended this first-ever Meet and Greet Pub Night hosted by the West Ottawa Homefront group for military spouses.

wood Village Golf and Country Club in Stittsville and holds games nights at the Kanata Legion as well as pub nights. The group had its first Meet and Greet Pub Night last Friday at D’Arcy McGee’s Pub in Kanata, with 37 people from all walks of military life in attendance. The evening, organized by West Ottawa Homefront members Beth Basinger and Kelly Irving, featured lots of conversation and lots of laughter. Those involved with this West Ottawa Homefront group come from all over the country. The West Ottawa Homefront group is needed because of the nature of a military posting to Ottawa. Granted, many military wives are used to moving frequently but usually it means moving from one tight-knit military community to another. However, a posting to the National Capital Region does not come with a connection to a single tight-knit military community such as is found on a Canadian Forces base. This West Ottawa Homefront group helps to provide these military spouses with an avenue leading to friendships and connections with other military families in the area. Military spouses are resilient and accustomed to long absences from their husbands and to living in provinces and locations far away from any family support. That’s why friends become an important aspect for any posting and even more so for a posting to Ottawa where not everyone lives in the same community as would happen on a military base. The manner in which this military spouses group has grown shows the importance of having such a group in the area.

Learn To Curl Program John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Traditionally those new to the game of curling sign up, are assigned to a team and are out on the ice playing. Instruction may come from a helpful skip or fellow curler but there has been no consistent pattern with this. Such an approach does not lend itself to full retention of new curlers nor does it help make a new curler feel comfortable and in control. But the Richmond Curling Club is taking steps to rectify this and to make taking up the sport of curling easy and enjoyable for new curlers, while also providing them with complete instruction that will give them all of the tools necessary for fun and success on the curling ice. Beginning with this upcoming 2014-2015 curling season, the JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Richmond Curling Club is offerRichmond Curling Club president Jim Klachan holds a curling stone as the ing a Learn To Curl Program runcurling season is soon to get underway, with the Richmond Curling Club ning on Sunday afternoons over a offering a new Learn To Curl Program this year. 12 week period.

Sports - It was a slow start to the season for the West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) U14 L3 Girls team, achieving a record of only one win, one tie and three losses after five games. But then the team caught on fire, going undefeated in league play with nine wins and one tie in ten games. And when you add in the team’s play in tournaments, it ended up with 18 wins, one tie and one loss in its last 20 games. The team, playing in the East Region Soccer League (ERSL) against teams from across Eastern Ontario, finished the regular season in second place with a record in league play of ten wins, two ties and three losses. The team finished only four points behind the league-leading OttawaGloucester Hornets. Indeed, two of the three losses suffered this season by this WOSC U14

L3 Girls team came at the hands of these Hornets by scores of 3-1 and 2-1. Despite the team’s slow start to the season, the players were determined to keep working hard in training, working for each other and buying into a system of play that the coaches knew the team could achieve. The WOSC team finished the regular season on Wednesday, Sept. 10 with a 7-0 win over the Nepean Hortspurs, capturing second place in the ERSL Girls U14 L3 division. Besides regular season play, this WOSC U14 L3 Girls team won the gold medals at the 24th annual Summer Classic Tournament of the Cobras FC in July and then repeated this success by taking the gold medals at the Gloucester Invitational Soccer Tournament in August. These tournaments involved playing teams from across Ontario and New York State.

Flower pots suggested for Stittsville

Special to the News

R0012753971

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

At Park Clean Up Day Dagmar Van Beselaere, left, who is with the Responsible Dog Owners of Canada, gives a “poop and scoop” bag to Ron Aiello, right, at the Stittsville Park Clean Up Day last Sunday morning. That’s a nine year old Beagle “Shibotto” in the foreground.

News - Hanging flower pots in Stittsville. This idea has been suggested by a Stittsville resident to the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), an idea fostered by a visit to Carp where there are hanging flower pots along the street. The SVA is going to check with the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society to see if this is a project that the Society might want to undertake. At the SVA meeting on Thursday, Sept. 11, SVA president Phil Sweetnam noted that Carp has a Business Improvement Area (BIA) organization which can facilitate such projects as these hanging flower pots. He said that the SVA could probably come up with the funds which he estimated at $2,500 for the hanging flower pots but he warned that ongoing maintenance costs would be a problem. It was suggested that the maintenance such as watering might be undertaken by some local firm for free.

Stonewall Jackson coming Special to the News

News - Stonewall Jackson is coming to Richmond. No, not the iconic Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson, one of the best known and most gifted tactical Confederate commanders of the American Civil War, but the similarly iconic, at least in country music circles, Stonewall Jackson, an American country music singer who achieved his greatest renown during country music’s honky tonk era in the 1950s and early 1960s. Now 81 years old, this musical Stonewall Jackson was in fact named after and has claimed to be a descendant of the famous Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. This country music legend will be performing at the Richmond Fair in Richmond this year, taking the stage in the arena on the Fair’s Sunday af-

ternoon, Sept. 21. Early in his career, Stonewall Jackson toured with Ernest Tubb, the so-called Texas Troubadour who is considered one of the pioneers of American country music and whose 1941 hit “Walking The Floor Over You” marked the rise of the honky tonk style of country music. Stonewall Jackson’s breakthrough hit was “Waterloo” which was No. 1 on the country music charts for five weeks in 1959 and even was a crossover hit. It sold over one million cpies, achieving gold status. His next No. 1 hit was “B.J. the D.J.” in 1964 while other hits included “The Carpet On The Floor,” “A Wound Time Can’t Erase,” and “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo.” Indeed, from 1958 to 1971, Jackson had 35 Top 40 country hits. He is most associated with the honky

ton sound of the late 1950s and early 1960s, along with others such as Ray Price, Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. In 1963, Stonewall Jackson was the first artist to record a live album from the Grand Ole Opry with the album “Old Showboat.” He has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1956. In 2012, he was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. Sunday afternoon in the arena at this year’s Richmond Fair will see not only the legendary Stonewall Jackson perform but also will feature a performance by the Ottawa Valley’s own Gail Gavan. The 170th annual Richmond Fair takes place at the Richmond fairgrounds this year from this Thursday, Sept. 18 through to this Sunday, Sept. 21.

Collecting footwear for Soles4Souls Special to the News

News - Rev. Michel Dubord of Richmond is not only participating in the 10K event at the upcoming 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 but also he is using the occasion to collect used footwear for the Soles4Souls program.

Soles4Souls, a Canadawide program, collects shoes from footwear companies and from individuals which it then distributes free of charge to people in need of footwear around the world. Soles4Souls goal is to collect one million pairs of shoes in every province, an initiative that it calls “The Million Shoe Mission.� Anyone who has used footwear that they wish to donate

to Soles4Souls simply has to contact Rev. Dubord of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond at 613-838-6075 to make arrangements. His deadline for receiving footwear donations so that he can drop them off at the Soles4Souls collection truck at the 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 is Friday, Oct. 17.

JAIL BREAK

Metroland East Special Report

Rehab programs feel the crunch Canada’s jails are bursting at the seams. Federal and provincial correctional facilities are struggling to meet the rising intake of inmates, the result of federal government toughon-crime legislation. A Metroland East special report shows rehabilitation and treatment programs have taken a backseat to the push for prison expansion. In the first of a fourpart series, we look at how prisoners are struggling to find employment and addiction-treatment support. Brier Dodge and Jennifer McIntosh

T

he first time Dan Parlow went to jail, he was 16 years old. “I was a boy, going to a man’s prison,” said Parlow, who was convicted of robbery and served time at the Guelph Correctional Institute. Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he was sent to a university of crime. Over the last three decades, Parlow, 49, has served time at four federal penitentiaries, provincial jails, and has stayed at several halfway houses. “A lot of it was robbery or assaultrelated – some firearms stuff,” he said. But he said some of the circumstances in his early life led him down that path. Parlow, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., said he grew up in a tumultuous home environment. His father left when he was five years old, leaving the kids with his alcoholic mother. Parlow said he was physically, emotionally and sexually abused both in the home and after he entered the foster-care system. He committed robbery at the age of 16 after leaving foster care and finding himself homeless. “All these things were precursors to the life I would lead later,” he said. He started using substances to help him cope: first alcohol, and eventually heroin. Once an offender enters the system, the first conviction will often echo through the rest of their life. Parlow has been out of jail on his statutory release since July 2013 – his longest stretch of parole in a long time. He currently lives at the Ottawa Mission and is participating in its Lifehouse drug-treatment program and is studying criminology at Carle-

JIM HAVEY / ALAMY/GETSTOCK

The number of inmates in federal prisons is at an all-time high with more than 15,000 this year. Between 2003 and 2013, the federal prison population has risen by 16.5 per cent, close to 2,100 inmates. Critics blame the jump on mandatory sentencing and the federal government’s Truth in Sentencing Act, which eliminated the two-for-one credit for time served before conviction.

JAIL BREAK A four-part series about recidivism in Ontario

Part 1: A look at the trickle-down effect from Canada’s new tough-on-crime laws on prisoners seeking rehabilitation support. ton University. The federal government’s “toughon-crime” legislation, which pushes mandatory minimum sentencing and stiffer punishments, doesn’t help deal with the root issues of crime or why parolees reoffend, Parlow said. “There’s a moral panic going on,” Parlow said. “Crime rates have been on the decline since the ’60s, but there’s still bottlenecking in the system and a real tough-on-crime attitude.” Offenders face large barriers in turning their lives around in prison due to a lack of programming – including drug and alcohol rehabilitation – in both jail and the community, said Parlow.

His experience isn’t unique. According to the annual federal prison ombudsman’s 2011-12 report, almost two-thirds of federal offenders reported being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed the crime for which they were incarcerated. Four out of five offenders come to jail with a history of substance abuse. Parlow said inmates’ reduced access to rehabilitative programs can be linked to overcrowding. CROWDED SPACES

Over the past decade, Ontario prisons have seen a large increase in the

number of inmates. Federal penitentiaries, which take in prisoners serving sentences two years or longer, have seen incarcerated populations increase by 2,100 inmates, or 16.5 per cent, from 2003 to 2013. Meanwhile, provincial jails are experiencing explosive growth in the number of inmates remanded in custody, while awaiting trial or bail hearing. On any given day in 2012-13, 25,208 people were detained in Canada’s provincial and territorial jails according to Set up to Fail: Bail and the Revolving Door of Pre-trial Detention, a report released in July 2014 by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Education Trust. More than half of those inmates were awaiting trial or a bail hearing. Canada’s remand rate has tripled over the past three decades – but this is not the result of a rise in the nation’s crime rate, which has been falling for the past two decades. Aaron Doyle, a criminology professor at Carleton University, has spent the past year studying overcrowding conditions at the Ottawa-Carleton De-

tention Centre. The centre has been overcrowded for years, with three and sometimes four inmates living in cells designed for one or two, he said. “Two-thirds to three-quarters of the prisoners in the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre are on remand, which means they’re just awaiting their day in court – they actually haven’t been convicted of anything,” said Doyle, a founding member of the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, made up of faculty and students from Carleton and the University of Ottawa. Meanwhile, they’re getting very little in the way of programming because of overcrowding, he said. “Some of them are in and out of court 10 times and will spend months and over a year in there just waiting to get their case settled,” said Doyle. The project is planning to release a report about conditions at the Ottawa detention centre this fall. At the federal level, Correctional Service Canada spends approximately three per cent of its $2.5-billion annual budget on core rehabilitative programs, such as anger management and programs for substance abuse and sexual offenders. Federal inmates have access to a variety of substance-abuse programs, including coping strategies for offenders undergoing methadone treatment, and national substance-abuse programs. Most penitentiaries offer Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous groups, Véronique Rioux, a spokeswoman for Correctional Service Canada, said in an email. “Overall research shows that offenders who complete CSC’s substance-abuse programs are significantly less likely to return to custody with new offences and less likely to return with new violent offences,” she said. “Over the past five to 10 years, programs and services have not been reduced, but rather improved to ensure that they are continuously targeting the specific needs of inmates,” she said. Brent Ross, spokesman for Ontario’s Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said $24 million is spent annually on skilldevelopment and rehabilitation programs, which have reduced recidivism rates for the inmates who participate.

JAIL BREAK

Metroland East Special Report

“These people talk a big game about these programs, but they don’t work,” said Jody Faucher, who is currently incarcerated at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre awaiting trial on fraud charges. Faucher has a rap sheet “at least 11 pages long,” and has faced 150 charges – mostly fraud-related – throughout his life since he first landed in jail at the age of 15. Faucher has been conning people for decades to pay for his cocaine addiction. Now, at the age of 44, he’s decided to seek help to get himself clean and back on the right path. Given a choice between an early release and probation or a lengthier commitment to a drug-treatment program, he said he would opt for treatment. When he last appeared in court, Faucher said he asked to go to a 26 week drug-treatment program. But his request was denied because a judge ruled Faucher wouldn’t be sufficiently monitored and may return to criminal activities if given pay phone access, as he in the past has used phone scams to con jewellery stores out of thousands of dollars. “I know I have a chance. I have a brain, I have a future,” said Faucher. “I’m asking for help, I don’t understand why I can’t have help.” He’s had periods of sobriety before, but he said his emotional struggles led him back to using drugs. “I was strung out on cocaine, my son died, I got served with divorce papers,” he said. Faucher has been in and out of the Innes Road jail more times than he can count, but he said treatment programs are limited. Wait lists are long, and with every repeat visit he says he sees resources shrink and programs disappear. Sporadic Alcoholics Anonymous meetings do little, he said. Because of his consistent reappearance at the jail, Faucher said he thinks the system has given up on him. “I want to clear up my demons. The drugs, the criminal thinking, the death of my son,” he said. “I think the chances are high I’ll end up back here if I don’t get help.” According to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, 52 per cent of the province’s current 61,303 inmates, both in custody and under community supervision will reoffend within two years of being released. Often inmates can continue to

Karen White-Jones, manager of addiction services at the Ottawa Mission, says many of her clients are former prison inmates. use while inside jail. The federal prisons ombudsman’s report says the presence of homemade alcohol and illicit drugs in federal prisons are still a major safety and security challenge, despite the zero-tolerance stance taken by Correctional Service Canada. The federal department’s budget for substance-abuse programming fell from $11.6 million in 2011-12 to $9.6 million in 2012-13. REHAB PROGRAMS NEEDED

Critics say rehabilitation has taken a backseat to mandatory minimum sentencing and that the corrections system is doing less and less correcting. Rebecca Jesseman, research and policy analyst for the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, said the majority of offenders are currently actively using or have a history of substance abuse. She said offenders often have complex needs regarding resources, but policy can fall victim to ideology. “Not-for-profits that offer services are struggling for funding,” Jesseman said. “Offenders with addictions issues are dealing with a double stigma. There’s a fear of crime in our society and people still feel like substance abuse is a choice you make.” Jesseman said overcrowding in jails means dwindling programming space and an increased demand on staff. “Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact at all levels,” she said. Once offenders are released they need the tools to comply with their conditions, she said. “There needs to be a formal period of treatment, not just setting a condition, that sets people up to fail,” she said. “Giving people the

tools they need and addressing the risk factors is important.” Private programs, such as those run by the Ottawa Mission, have emerged as some of the only options for rehabilitative programs and services following cuts to programs and services in jails. “And all of this is happening while the prison population itself is growing,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons ombudsman. “So it’s a bit of a double-whammy.” Karen White-Jones, manager of addiction services at the Ottawa Mission, said many of their clients are former prison inmates. The Mission currently operates a day program, a dry wing, a stabilization program and the Lifehouse residential program to help former offenders. “We have a lot of former inmates in the day program, because of the lack of affordable housing. A lot of guys getting discharged from jail end up in the shelter and hear about the day program.” The day program is a drop-in clinic; the dry wing offers a place to stay with other people trying to get clean. The stabilization program offers detoxification treatment that typically lasts 30 days. The Lifehouse program, which Parlow is currently attending, is five months long and offers housing to help clients with reintegration. “People leaving jails or prisons may have been abstinent or modified their use, but they haven’t learned the skills to maintain that,” White-Jones said. And parolees are displaced, often fearful of how they’ll function in the real world, she said. “A lot of people who have been institutionalized long-term have real fear,” White-Jones said. “They might be doing well on their addiction or anger management, but there’s still a lot they don’t know about day-to-day life.” White-Jones said every program at the Mission has a wait list. “As soon as a bed empties, there’s someone to fill it,” she said. The popularity of these programs isn’t surprising to WhiteJones, who said a lot of organizations are struggling to fill the need with limited resources. Prison employment and education programs have also been underfunded and post-secondary education is next to impossible with no Internet access, according to many critics of the federal corrections system. In 2009, the federal government announced a plan to eliminate six prison farms, a program that offered employment and life skills.

CORCAN, a prison work program provided by Correctional Service Canada, employs inmates around the country in industrialbased jobs, but the positions are few and far between, said Sapers in his recent annual report. “When I visit an institution, typically I’ll see maybe half a dozen guys in the yard with a broom all sweeping the same area of the yard because it’s the only employment that they have,” Sapers said. “It’s not very meaningful employment.” Without the proper treatment or programs, it’s normal to see offenders cycle through the jail several times without receiving any rehabilitation programs, said Denis Collin, Ontario Public Service Employees Union local unit president for the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. Collin has worked as a correctional officer for 13 years, includ-

ing at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre and the former Rideau Correctional Treatment Centre. The treatment centre had programs, ranging from workshops to a working farm. “You had all sorts of programs, where at least when the offender would be coming out and had served their time, you would give them hope and some sort of option or direction to have some options once they leave,” he said. “And the word “corrections” is exactly that. It’s meant to correct behaviour and meant to try and give people some resources to move their life forward.” With files from Blair Edwards and Erin McCracken

New chiropractor in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Dr. Sabrina MacDonald is Stittsville’s newest chiropractor. She has joined Dr. Tammy Grace’s Amberwood Chiropractic Clinic at the Shops of Main Street plaza at Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville. Dr. MacDonald graduated with a Bachelor

of Kinesiology degree from Brock University in St. Catharines and then went on to the chiropractic college in Toronto for her chiropractic training, graduating this past June. Dr. MacDonald, who grew up in Eganville, wanted to be close to home but also close to Ottawa, so when an associate position became available at the Amberwood Chiropractic Clinic, she readily grabbed it, starting last week. She is already familiar with the Stittsville

Cake Sale for Alzheimer’s Special to the News

News - “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” is a popular English-language idiomatic proverb that says you can’t accomplish two things at once. But it does not apply to the third annual Celebrating Memories Cake Sale for Alzheimer’s happening at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (Stittsville Villa) on Stittsville Main Street this Friday, Sept. 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Because this Cake Sale is an example of how you can do two things with one action – you can acquire a delicious cake and at the same time you can help support the Alzheimer’s Society. Residents of the Stittsville community are welcome to drop in at this Cake Sale this Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to purchase a cake. It is expected that there will be as many as 100 cakes of different sizes and shapes available for purchase.

These cakes are being provided by families, staff and residents of the Stittsville Seniors Community, with all of the funds raised from their sale going to the Alzheimer’s Society. The Cake Sale, in fact, is being held just two days before World Alzheimer’s Day which is happening on Sunday, Sept. 21. The Alzheimer Society was chosen as the recipient of the funds raised by this Cake Sale because Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia touch the lives of many of those living at the Stittsville Seniors Community. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and degenerative disease that destroys brain cells. It is the most prevalent form of dementia. There is not yet any known cause for Alzheimer’s disease but researchers have identified risk factors associated with the disease. As Alzheimer’s disease progresses and affects different areas of the brain, symptoms become more severe. Early diagnosis of the disease does help in treating the disease.

Fall turkey supper at Fallowfield United Church Special to the News

News - With the coming of fall, we all know that Thanksgiving is not that far off. And, of course, with thoughts of Thanksgiving come dreams of turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Well, you don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving itself to be able to enjoy such a turkey dinner. That’s because Fallowfield United Church is holding its annual fall turkey supper on

Saturday, Oct. 4, more than a week before Thanksgiving which this year falls on Monday, Oct. 13. This fall turkey supper at Fallowfield United Church is offering a full course turkey dinner with all of the trimmings, topped off with homemade pies. There will be continuous serving from 4:15 p.m. through to 7:30 p.m., with entertainment being provided upstairs in the church for those who have to wait.

Those planning to attend are urged to reserve their tickets now. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children aged 6 to 12 years old. Children aged five years and under will be free. Takeout will also be available. To reserve your tickets or for more information, please phone 613-838-2520. Fallowfield United Church is located at the corner of Fallowfield Road and Steeple Hill Crescent in Fallowfield.

area, working part-time at the Carp Road Animal Hospital on Carp Road as a trained animal chiropractor. Yes, that’s right – there are chiropractors who work with animals. There apparently is a huge demand for such services as chiropractic offers an alternative to medication and/or surgery. Dr. MacDonald, who underwent special training to be able to treat animals, in fact finds that her work with animals has helped make her a better chiropractor overall, making her hands more sensitive to spinal conditions. That’s because animals being treated cannot tell a chiropractor about pain and so the animal chiropractor has to be very attentive to how things feel. Dr. MacDonald is familiar with chiropractors as she herself has been seeing a chiropractor since she was 14 years of age as she experienced a lot of back pain from playing sports. This included volleyball, hockey, rugby and baseball and, indeed, she still plays volleyball and hockey. She knew from grade nine that she wanted to be involved in the health field, helping others. It was after her first year of university that she knew that she wanted to be a chiropractor. She feels that chiropractic care uses a natural approach to get to the root causes of pain, all just through the use of her hands. Although she has a background in sports, she likes to treat everyone, not just athletes. The Amberwood Chiropractic Clinic and Dr. MacDonald can be contacted by phoning 613-8317982.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

do not compromise your computer, your identity or worse. At this program at the Stittsville library, Chris Taylor and Jeff Dubois from the Ottawa PC Users Group will lead the discussion. Jeff Dubois will describe the value of various social media sites while Chris Taylor will present some cautions about the use of these website tools so that you do not compromise your personal situation.

Richmond Legion news: Fair parade, darts, BBQ Wendy Ryan Special to the News

News - Members of the Richmond Legion will once again be leading off the Richmond Fair parade and the Legion is looking for people in uniform to march with its members. Any past or current members of the military are welcome to join in with the Legion for this parade. There will also be two or three military vehicles

to transport Legion members who are unable to walk the parade route. Anyone who wants to join in with this Legion presence in the parade should be on the grounds at South Carleton High School by 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, Sept. 20, the day of the parade. Darts will be returning to the Richmond Legion on Friday nights this fall. Registration will take place on Friday, Sept. 26 from 7 p.m. to

9 p.m. and again on Friday, oct. 3 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Regular season play will begin on Friday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. The registration fee remains at $100 for the season. It is hoped that at least 30 people will sign up again this year and there is always a need for spares. Spares who pay a $20 registration fee get first crack at filling in when needed. This is not a seriously competitive league with the main goal being to have fun on a Fri-

day night. No experience is needed. Everyone is welcome to play. You do not have to be a Legion member to participate. The last barbeque of the season will be held this Friday, Sept. 19 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The poppy time of the year is fast approaching. The poppy campaign begins on the last Friday in October while the Richmond legion’s doorto-door campaign takes place on Sat-

urday, Nov. 1. Anyone who wants to participate should show up at the Richmond Legion hall between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1 where you will pick up a tray of poppies and a map, will grab a donut or muffin and then will be on the road, going door-to-door. Exercise classes geared for the older generation are held each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. at the Legion Hall on Ottawa Street.

ANNIVERSARY

To everyone who has supported us following our fire, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation. Your many acts of kindness come as no surprise, yet continue to overwhelm us still. Few words can fully describe the gratitude we feel for our Mississippi Mills Fire Department – an amazing team of people who worked so hard to save our house. We would like to especially thank our neighbours, friends and relatives who also helped us the day of the fire, salvaging keepsakes that would have otherwise been lost forever. Thank you to Nancy and Elwyn Ziebarth, Lana and Barry Dean, our parents Doreen & Garnie Ziebarth, along with Gwen Skebo, the Deugo family and our friends who worked alongside us to begin the process of settling in a home-for-now. To M. Sullivan & Son Restoration, a debt of gratitude for all the hours of hard work put into rebuilding our home. Their expertise and guidance is second-to-none. Thank you to our workfamilies at the Almonte General Hospital and Ottawa Valley Oxygen; and to all our young friends at Pakenham Public School and St. Joseph’s Catholic School, Arnprior. To all the community groups and churches – bless you for helping us find our way. The boys would also like to thank the Valley Garden Tractor Pullers for the extra-special Tractor Pull in Carp. Finally, a very heartfelt thank you to Uncle Greg and Aunt Nancy Ziebarth; Nancy’s crew of sisters and friends, Mike Ryan and the Pakenham Civitan Club for planning the most wonderful night in Pakenham! Everyone danced to favorite songs provided by the Valley’s best musicians. It was a thrill to say thank you, in person, to so many people and also recognize our hard-working firefighters. This will be a summer we will never forget. It is only through the kindness of each of you that the sad memories are fading and being replaced with new happy ones. Thanks again. Cindy, Jerry, Isaiah, Jackson and Matthew Skebo.

MARY COOK Mother’s soup Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The big white granite pot never left the back of the Findlay Oval. It might blacken around the bottom edge, and sitting close to the reservoir, it never really got down to a boil until Mother felt it was ready to be moved closer to a front burner. This was Mother’s soup pot. The only time it left the stove was when its innards were ready for the table. Soup was just another food that could be made from what we grew on the farm, albeit mostly from leftovers from our kitchen table after a meal was over. My sister Audrey called Mother’s soup pot “scrap heaven.” That was because not a crumb of a leftover was ever thrown out, and these “scraps” were what formed the bulk of the soup, and “heaven” because the aroma’s coming from the pot, filled us with anticipation of what was in store for us when it was time to add the soup to a meal. Of course, there were never any scraps from our dinner plates. No, the leftovers would be what were left in the bowls or on the meat platter at the end of a meal. Now, there never was very much left after our big family had attacked the table, but there was always a bit of meat, or a few vegetables, leftover gravy, all of which was put into Moth-

was recycling at its best

fried potatoes, enough sliced homemade bread to feed half of Renfrew County, and of course, this time of year, a platter of freshly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. I loved those nights, because I loved Mother’s soup that had been simmering for days on the back of the Findlay Oval.

er’s soup pot on the back of the cook stove. Even bones from the roasts were simmered, and carefully scooped out just before the soup was brought to the table. And there it simmered away, with Mother taking an occasional peek into the pot to make sure everything was well covered with water. And often she would take a teaspoon off the spoon holder on the kitchen table and dip it into the pot, blow on it to cool it down, and sip. It was then she would add another dash of salt and pepper if needed. The pot was kept covered, but that didn’t stop the wonderful aroma from seeping out and filling the kitchen. We could smell the mixture of vegetables, the onions, and the three bay leaves -- never two leaves, always three. Mother explained that she always used three so that she would know exactly how many to dish out and throw away when it came time to eat the soup. Although we ate two hefty meals a day, one at noon hour and one at night, when Father was going back out to work in the fields or the barns after our supper, that’s when the soup pot was brought to the table. Those nights, supper would mean a big bowl of soup, maybe a plate of cold headcheese,

The night we had the soup, it was a “stick-toyour-ribs” kind of meal, and when supper was over, back onto the stove went the pot. More water added, three more bay leaves, and the pot was ready and waiting for Mother’s next batch of soup. It was recycling at its finest.
