JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It has been over 400 years since the madcap comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was written

by William Shakespeare. But when Ottawa’s A Company of Fools performs it, as a six actor troupe did last Friday evening beneath the towering pines of Alexander Grove in Stittsville, it is anything but dated.

Part of this is because of the style employed by A Company of Fools, a style that has earned the 20 year old professional Shakespearean performance group critical acclaim across Canada. So, the audience is treated not only to the classical Shakespeare play but is presented with an energy and physicality that builds interest and suspense. The audience, as happened last Friday at the Grove, is always waiting for what’s next … and it is never long in coming, as the actors enter and exit the troupe’s new multi-layered portable block stage JOHN BRUMMELL PHOTO area rapidly, virtually never leav- A.

It’s a simple message: lock your vehicle and take any valuables with you.

This is the message from the Ottawa Police Service as it tries to combat a rash of theft from vehicles that are currently happening in the Stittsville, Kanata and Barrhaven areas.

Inspector Mike Rice of the Ottawa Police Service says that there have been a lot of thefts from vehicles in these areas, some of which have been locked but broken into.

Ottawa Police Service recently laid over 40 criminal charges against six males in relation to some of these recent thefts from unattended vehicles in the Kanata area.

He advises residents to lock any unattended vehicle and remove all valuables. Items such as GPS units and cell phones are being stolen. Inspector Rice also advises vehicle owners to record the serial numbers on such items so that if they are stolen, the police are able to determine ownership if the criminals are apprehended.

He also urges everyone to report any and all incidents of thefts from vehicles, even if the items taken are not that valuable.

“You’ll never know what’s not reported,” Inspector Rice said, adding that when incidents are reported, the police can analyze the data and perhaps discover patterns and areas of concern.

Besides urging everyone to remove items of value from vehicles and to secure vehicles at all times, the police recommend not leaving personal identification, vehicle registration or insurance certificates or credit cards in a vehicle.

Police also recommend removing valuables and shopping bags from view including loose change; never leaving a vehicle running and unattended; always locking the doors; never leaving car or house keys in a vehicle; parking in well lit areas where there is pedestrian traffic; install motion detector lights on the outside of a home; and report all incidents to the Ottawa Police Service’s telephone reporting centre.

the towering pines of the Grove. When an open bar is proclaimed for the upcoming wedding ceremony, the reason given, “because I’m rich” brought forth laughter. This was but one of numerous times when laughter rose into the evening stillness from the performance.

It was a Shakespearean experience to cherish. A Company of Fools has been coming to Stittsville for several years now to present a Shakespearean drama at Alexander Grove.

Indeed, the summer Torchlight series, which sees these professional Shakespearean plays performed in various city of Ottawa parks, goes back to the year 2002. Last year over 7,000 people enjoyed the Summer Torchlight series. The performances are presented on a “pay what you can” basis, with the actors collecting donations following the performance. A ten dollar donation is suggested. Performers in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, which was directed by ten year troupe veteran Al Connors, included

But the A Company of Fools actors, at least in this presentation, while remaining true to the classical text as Shakespeare himself would have penned it, also inserted some references that even Shakespeare, with his vivid imagination for such things as fairies and love potions, would never have envisioned. So this Stittsville version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” included references to an iPhone, bug spray and even a theatre school in Stittsville. All of these brought forth laugher from the audience.

And there was an informality generated by impromptu interactions with the audience.

When someone in the audience coughed, an actor on stage made it part of his performance. “Are you alright?” he asked in the direction of the cough before continuing on. Or when a parent tried to unobtrusively move through the audience to talk to his child, an on-stage actor noticed, drew attention to the matter and halted his role to let the parent finish his journey, albeit now with all the eyes of the audience upon him.

But it was just this kind of performance – yes, traditional Shakespeare but delivered with a vivacious approach and with an attitude of having some modern fun combined with the comedy penned by the master himself four centuries ago.

That’s why the 250 or so who sat mainly in lawn chairs in a semi-circle around the stage remained quiet (except for the bursts of laugher that emerged from time to time) and attentive throughout the 90 minute performance.

This is called the troupe’s Summer Torchlight series and with good reason – several torch-like cauldrons placed around the audience burned, sending their smoke drifting lightly over the audience and environs and

discouraging nature’s mosquito terrorists.

But a light breeze blowing at times over the area no doubt also contributed to the mosquito-free evening.

It was really a setting that even Shakespeare himself would have enjoyed – blue sky overhead, sunshine slanting through the pines, a green backdrop of trees, and a warm temperature. It truly was a midsummer night to dream about.

The costumes in the play were simple – a vest here, a cloak there, a dress – nothing like Stratford would boast but effective nonetheless, although the pink and purple costume of Titania, queen of the fairies, bordered on spectacular. And other than the troupe’s new portable block stage that featured several levels, elevating the actors and making for better sightlines for the audience while also no doubt allowing for the actors to be heard better, the only scenery props were two white clusters of pole-like tubes at each side of the stage. These poles magically became palm-like trees when the play’s focus became the forest in which the fairies lived and where most of the play took place.

The application of the magical love potion by bursting water (or was it really the magical juice from a unique flower?) over the head of the victim brought forth laugher from the audience whenever it happened.

And continued references to a wet stage brought forth chuckles as well, more of the light-hearted approach exhibited by the actors. Two from the audience were picked for parts in a play within the play and this led to some humourous impromptu banter.

There were several actor excursions around or through the audience, helping bring the audience even more closely into the dramatic action of the play.

And, of course, laughter was the greatest unifying force for those 90 minutes under

Answer is simple: Always lock your vehicle A rash of thefts from vehicles is taking place throughout the Stittsville/Richmond/ Munster area these days.

This seems to be something of the crime of choice for thieves these days and it is not hard to see why. The spoils from the crime can be substantial such as a cell phone or GPS unit or CDs or cash, all of which are frequently kept in vehicles. And the chances of being caught are very slight. These crimes usually take place in the middle of the night, when homeowners are fast asleep and there is very little activity on residential streets.

LETTER

So, high rewards, little risk. No wonder criminals are turning to this crime.

And, of course, there is one other factor – owners are in many cases leaving their vehicles unlocked while parked in their driveways. This is like an open invitation to criminals. While at one time this could be done and nothing would happen, times have changed. You cannot be so trusting any more. That is why the Ottawa Police Service is urging and advising vehicle owners to always lock their vehicles. The police are also passing on other tips such as not leaving

valuable items in open view and indeed not leaving such things as cash and house keys in a vehicle.

Whether some of this is feasible, given today’s drive-thru society and the need for handy cash right in the vehicle, can be debated. But what cannot be debated is the need to lock a vehicle when it is parked, especially when it will be in the driveway overnight.

Many vehicles today have automatic locking of all doors through the click of a button on the key holder. So for many there is no

excurse for not having a locked vehicle.

And for others, it may take a few seconds to lock all of the doors but this is little time in comparison to the time that you will be spending reporting a theft to the police.

The way to stop thefts from vehicles is simply collective action by everyone to lock up vehicles when not in use. This will stop these thieves in their tracks.

That is what the police are asking people to do. It seems sensible and relatively easy to do. Get into the habit and you will be fighting crime. What could be easier – and

TO THE EDITOR

100% against landfills Editor, There have been certain misunderstandings about my position on key points made during recent city council and committee meetings regarding Waste Management and its expansions plans for the Carp Road landfill.

While some may suggest that I want the landfill to be relocated elsewhere, that is not the case. I am 100 per cent against creating or expanding any landfill facility anywhere. My point has always been that burying waste in this day and age does not make sense. We need other alternatives and solutions. We have access to them and we have more modern solutions rather than the landfill option.

The provincial target of 60 per cent diversion rate for industrial, commercial and institutional waste is achievable with alternative technologies. In fact, with these alternate solutions, we could see a diversion rate of up to 90 per cent, which has been proven in other countries, such as Sweden.

The more landfill space we create, the less incentive there is to develop new recycling technologies and other initiatives. Limiting the amount of landfill space will force us to look for better and less expensive options in recycling, diversion and alternative disposal technologies.

The City’s new Green Bin Program combined with Plasco Technology’s plasmafication system provides better and more effective waste disposal for the citizens of Ottawa than the archaic process of burying waste. These new technologies and diversion strategies that are currently available mean that no new expansions of landfill are needed in Ottawa. The residents of Ottawa are currently diverting over 42 percent of their waste stream, and this is increasing monthly with the Green Bin program, and will be even higher with Plasco online.

We are diverting two and one half times as much waste as the industrial, commercial and institutional sector, it’s time they joined the race.

I am disappointed that council did not agree on my recommendation for a rejection of Waste Management’s Terms of Reference, however, the motion that was passed sends a strong message to the Ministry of Environment.

I will continue to work on behalf of my constituents and the city as a whole regarding this issue. I also hope to arrange a meeting with Ontario Environment Minister John Gerretsen to address concerns in person.

Matt Robinson, one of the SCHS trio, said that the competition helped them learn about budgeting, cash control, money PHOTO COURTESY OF SOUTH CARLETON management HIGH SCHOOL and return on Tanner McBurney investment.

A key to success was the fact that the SCHS team was able to make the right decisions under pressure.

Matt points out that taking part in the business simulation gave the students an opportunity to experience what business owners go through on a day to day basis.

“It’s just a great learning experience on what we could do if we had to,” he said. “It’s a great look at what real life looks like.”

He said that one key to success for the SCHS team was the teamwork that the members had, enabling them to work together. He attributes this to the fact that all three – Caitlin, Tanner and himself – were friends going into the competition. This enabled them to make quick decisions in the competition.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF A trio of South Carleton High School students are tops in the smart phone business – at least in a highly competitive online business simulation competition.

South Carleton students Caitlin Rogers, Matt Robinson and Tanner McBurney won the first prize of $2,500 plus $500 for the school’s business department for winning the advanced category in the CA-Sprott Business Competition. Developed by Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business and sponsored by the Chartered Accounts of Ontario, the CA-Sprott Business Competition pits high school students against one another as they experience the challenges of running their own company. They make decisions relating to marketing, accounting, sales and more while guiding their web-based virtual companies to success or failure. A total of 651 teams from across the province took part in this year’s competition. This year’s simulation involved the manufacture and sale of smart phones.

In the competition, the students have to determine the price at which the smart phone will be sold. They had to take into consider plant and equipment costs, advertizing, human resources and return on investment.

In the finals, the SCHS trio made a lot of sound decisions, jumping all the way from sixth to first in the eight-team finals, catapulting to first place over the last half hour of the four hour final. The key was finding

SOUTH CARLETON TRIO, FROM 5

Almost 7,000 high school students across Ontario took part in the CA-Sprott Business Competition this year. They all discovered that business can be fun and allows them to solve problems.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of

Ontario is the regulatory body for 33,000 chartered accountants in the province of Ontario.

Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business in Ottawa is a business school for students and employers as well as business and community members who are interested in exploring complex business issues.

“America’s Got Talent” showcases entertainment talent from across the United States, with the television show providing these entertainers with their big chance.

Well, now Stittsville is going to have its own talent program, “Stittsville Has Talent.” It will not be broadcast across North America like “America’s Got Talent” but it will be an opportunity for local singers, dancers, comedians, jugglers and others to showcase their stuff before a hometown audience.

“Stittsville Has Talent” is going to be held at this year’s Stittsville Villagefest on Saturday, Sept. 11. All that is needed now is the local talent. All ages and all forms of entertainment are welcome.

Anyone interested in taking part in “Stittsville Has Talent” should contact Evelyn Leroux by email at lashleroux@sympatico.ca

This talent program will be just one of the new things at this year’s Villagefest celebrations.

There is going to be a scarecrow theme to things this year, with contests held for those turning up in scarecrow costumes.

Villagefest 2010 promises to be a lot of fun and there will be more forthcoming on this later.

Villagefest this year will also be featuring live entertainment on stage as well as games and activities as in the past.

Villagefest this year has been moved up to Saturday, Sept. 11 to try to ensure good weather. Last year Villagefest was held on the first weekend in October and although the weather held, there was always the danger that the event would be wiped out by bad weather, thwarting all of the effort that goes into organizing a community event like this.

Villagefest is a community event organized by the Stittsville Village Association.

These students were Adrian Clarke, Owen Crouch, Zoe Cuthbert, Reilly Donnelly, Rose Donoghue, Keana Gauvin, Sam Hale, Mark Lachaine, Julia Rivoire, Ben Smiley, Shane Ventura, John Wells, Emeline West and Thomas Wilcox.

The leaving ceremony also featured the presentation of several

awards for individual achievements and accomplishments as well as a slide show recapping the activities of the past school year.

Munster Elementary School principal Iain Slingerland welcomed all those to the afternoon ceremony and also offered the school’s heartfelt farewell to the grade five students for their time at the school and wishing them well as they continue to travel along their path of learning.

In his welcoming remarks, he called the event “a special moment” with students, staff, parents and family members gathering together “to celebrate the grade five

students of Munster Elementary School.”

The Kiwanis Citizenship Award, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn in memory of Hal Yetts, a longtime member who passed away, was presented to Adrian Clarke.

The Stansel French Award was presented to Emeline West while the Most Improved Student Award went to Julia Rivoire.

The Academic Excellence Award was presented to Rose Donoghue.

that capacity in 10 years, then the shelf life is 10 years. But if it takes them 30 years to fill, then that capacity will be 30 years.”

The current landfill has a diversion rate of less than 30 per cent and Wallace said that rate is not expected to grow in the first few years of the new dump.

“We still have quite a way to go,” said Wallace.

Qadri said he wanted to see the provincial goal of 60 per cent diversion rate reached before the creation of a new landfill.

“Give me 60 per cent diversion then we’ll look at other options,” he said. “They are working towards 400,000 tonnes of landfill – that’s what this project is all about. First they want to do landfill then they’ll look at diverting. And that diversion will depend upon how much they can divert and market demand.”

Wallace said that 60 per cent diversion is a difficult rate for the company to reach on its own, even with the introduction of the green bin, but in conjunction with the other waste disposal companies in the area it could be an attainable goal. He did not comment on when that percentage could be reached or how much the new site is looking at diverting.

“We want to help get to that number,” he explained. “We’re looking at recycling in a whole different way now.”

Waste Management has a Green Squad, said Wallace that helps commercial businesses better manage and separate recycling and waste material.

“We’re going to go after as much as we can,” he said.

“This project, even though it’s called the West Carleton Environmental Centre, their first prerogative is to look at and go forward with an annual 400,000 tonne expansion of the landfill,” said Qadri.

Wallace said the new dump will not be accepting garbage from all across the province, only from the areas known as “good neighbours.”

JESSICA CUNHA NEWS STAFF Waste Management Canada would have proposed building an incinerator at its Carp Road site instead of another landfill if the city of Ottawa had given it control over residential garbage.

Back in 2006 when the company first submitted a proposal to the city, it asked for a guaranteed amount of residential waste to make Wheelabrator technology a viable option, said Ross Wallace, site manager at the Carp Road landfill.

“What was asked is that we would need a commitment from the city for a certain amount of the residential waste stream for a certain number of years to make the Wheelabrator option financial viable,” he said.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said the biggest issue with the Wheelabrator technology is it’s old.

“It’s not as clean as today’s technology,” said Qadri. “Wheelabrator technology, if you look at the locations in the U.S., the majority of them are near bodies of water because that technology requires a huge amount of water supply. That could be one of the reasons the city turned them down because at Carp Road we don’t have that kind of water supply.”

The new landfill site would have to charge a much higher dumping fee, and with other sites nearby, it would lose out on a lot of business, said Wallace.

“We don’t control enough of the waste stream,” he said. “It’s got to be financially viable.”

He said the reason Waste Management put a 10-year plan in the 2010 proposal for a new landfill was because the company believes new and better waste technologies will be available by that time.

“Right now today, there’s nothing else available but mass burn and landfills,” said Wallace.

However, Qadri said the 10-year span is a “fallacy of their proposal.”

“In reality, they’re looking for 6.5 million cubic metric tonnes of capacity,” he said. “If they can fill

“Ninety per cent of the waste is from the city of Ottawa, residential and commercial,” he said. “The other 10 per cent we keep for our good neighbours; Smith Falls, Carleton Place, out towards Brockville, a little from the Kingston area. They have nowhere else to go.

“It doesn’t mean we’ll be taking waste from all over the province.”

He said the new site won’t take any garbage from Quebec.

The garbage mound will be lower than at the existing dump, said Wallace, with the peak reaching just above the tree line.

The new centre is less than half as big as the original one proposed in 2006, he said.

The current landfill has five gas-to-energy generators, which can provide power for up to 6,000 homes. There is an opportunity to add three more engines with the new landfill, said Wallace.

“It’s pure landfill gas,” he said. “There’s a lot we do besides just landfilling.”

But the councillor said he doesn’t agree.

“Landfilling is a 1900 solution for handling garbage,” said Qadri. “It’s an antiquated way of doing garbage. To landfill garbage is the cheapest option and most profitable option for anyone who participates in that.”

Wallace said odour will not be an issue with the new site since the gas collection power will be enhanced with the use of vertical and horizontal pipelines.

“The gas systems will be there from day one, unlike the one now which is a retrofit.”

Residents also don’t have to worry about contaminated drinking water, which was an issue brought up during the June meeting, said Wallace.

“There’s no groundwater flow towards the residential areas. We have it very well monitored.”

Waste Management is looking at putting in recreational space for community use on their new site, said Wallace. The space could be used for greenhouses to grow crops yearround, sports fields and an off-leash dog park.

“We get accused they’re just smoke screens and fluff,” said Wallace. “That’s not true.”

He said he’s seen similar initiatives work at other landfill sites.

A host fee is charged to those who use the recreational facilities and the money is put in control of the councillors to use for community initiatives.

“This generates in excess of $1 million a year,” said Wallace.

The money can then be used for community-based structures, “Like a new skate park,” he said.

However, Qadri said Waste Management doesn’t have city approval yet.

“On this current site they would have to come back to the city for zoning for recreational facilities,” he said.

“They don’t have that zoning right now.

They can talk about this wonderful scenario but they’re putting the cart before the horse.

In terms of the community and the proposal they have presented, (it’s) a very well thought out process they’ve put together. But in my opinion, they should come out and tell the community exactly what they want to do.”

Wallace said the company is in talks to build an on-site wildlife habitat centre with Ducks Unlimited Canada, and plans to expand its outdoor education programs with the local schools and service organizations.

“It’s too bad some of our opponents are

just looking at the landfill portion of the proposal and not the whole thing,” he said.

“Their input is obviously needed but I would say look at the whole project and what we do, not just the landfill.”

But the dump portion of Waste Management’s proposal is still the focus among

those who live near the site.

“My community still feels the same way they did four years ago, they don’t want another landfill,” said Marlene Labelle, Stittsville’s representative on the Waste Management project advisory committee. “It’s very frustrating.”

Detour ends, road closure begins JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The detour is over.

Stittsville Main Street is now open through to Hazeldean Road as of last Friday, July 16. It had been blocked off for several weeks, with a bypass in effect using Neil Avenue and a new temporary road across

the former Stittsville Flea Market lands to Hazeldean Road.

But just as one road closure is ended, another related to the ongoing Hazeldean Road reconstruction project has been implemented.

Hazeldean Road itself west of the entrance into the Jackson Trails Plaza beside the

new Stittsville Royal Bank location is closed off all the way to Carp Road. This is past the former Stittsville Flea Market location.

This is being done due to requirements for the Hazeldean Road reconstruction project in this area.

Frequent ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns.

All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and #1 night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping.

FOR

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR PROPOSED NEW LANDFILL

Committee deals with proposed terms of reference JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It was a special meeting of Ottawa city council’s planning and environment committee called to deal with the municipality’s response to the proposed terms of reference submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment by Waste Management regarding an environmental assessment for its proposed new landfill footprint at its Carp Road site just north of Stittsville.

While the Tuesday, July 13 meeting did eventually endorse a staff report on the matter, the committee also amended the staff document to include eight other requests, ranging from the arranging of a meeting between city representatives and the Minister of the Environment and Ministry staff to explain the

city’s position on the matter, from asking the Ministry to put in place programs to increase diversion from the industrial, commercial and institutional sector before any consideration of any new landfill and that 15 additional comments be included if the terms of reference are approved by the province.

These 15 additional comments included asking for a full environmental assessment rather than the scoped or focused environmental assessment indicated by Waste Management in its proposed terms of reference, asking for programs and studies regarding ground water contamination, asking that the tonnage allowed at any new landfill would decrease would decrease as diversion rates for industrial, commercial and industrial generated waste increases, that Waste Management develop a program to

compensate nearby property owners for any property devaluation, that Waste Management develop a program to report all odour and litter complaints and that Waste Management fund an independent review by independent experts on all aspects of the environmental assessment and its results.

A number of the comments made by those addressing the committee during the public delegation section of the meeting dealt not so much with any changes to the proposed terms of reference but more with opposition to any landfill expansion at the Carp Road site at all.

Even veteran city councillor and committee member Gord Hunter reminded others at the meeting that the meeting was called to deal with the city’s comments on the submitted draft terms of reference for the environmental assessment for the

Waste Management proposal and not for venting in general about landfill sites.

He said that the issue for the meeting was not about whether landfills should exist or not but rather should be about a detailed examination of the proposed terms of reference.

Bruce Webster of Richmond, identifying himself as a spokesperson for the Rural Council of Ottawa-Carleton, urged that the city embrace other, better technologies for handling waste rather than landfills.

“I believe landfills are archaic,” he said, calling them eyesores that are hard to maintain.

Marlene Labelle of Stittsville, who is a community representative on the Waste Management project committee, told the council committee that her community does

not support any landfill expansion on the Carp Road. She cited deficiencies in the open house process held by Waste Management after it announced the proposal. She also complained that the proposed terms of reference had not been translated into French.

She urged that the proposal be stopped, that the proposed terms of reference be withdrawn and that Waste Management consulted with the community on alternative methods of handling waste.

Ms. Labelle also called landfills “archaic” and said that communities should not be subjected to having such facilities in their midst.

“We do not support the new landfill,” Stittsville resident Kim Mantas said in opening her remarks to the committee.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the residents who sent in their comments to the Ministry of Environment regarding Waste Management’s proposal to expand the Carp Road Landfill.

I had hoped to garner support at the Council table with my concerns and issues and am disappointed with what transpired at Council recently. However, I will continue to work on behalf of my community and Ottawa as a whole as it pertains to landfills.

I am also hoping to arrange an interview with the Honourable John Gerretsen, the Minister of Environment, to address my concerns in person.

The community stood up against an expansion before and succeeded. Years later, we are seeing the same issue arise. And I am confident once again, this community will stand up and their voices will be heard.

Road closure updates As of Friday, July 16, the Main Street intersection from Hazeldean Road is open after a period of closure.

Due to ongoing construction, I regretfully inform you that Hazeldean Road, west of the Royal Bank entrance into the Jackson Trails Plaza, was closed to Carp Road beginning Tuesday, July 20 until Friday, September 3.

As an alternate route, please use Stittsville Main Street to Carp Road.

I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 613-580-2476.

Concerns regarding the use of fireworks Over the last several weeks, my office has been receiving e-mails and phone calls in regards to the use of fireworks. Several residents have been notifying me that they

A community united are hearing fireworks go off at random times.

Home security tips It’s the summer time, which means a vacation period for many families. Please consider these home safety tips courtesy of the Ottawa Police Service before you plan your getaway.

City to review bus bays policy Last week at Ottawa City Council, I had put forth a motion for the City to review bus bays policy before eliminating all of them which was passed.

Now the City will review its policy on bus bays. Until then, no other bus bays will be eliminated until a the report is submitted to the City’s transit committee.

Bus bays are not only crucial to alleviate traffic flow, but they also provide as safety tools for Ottawa residents. Having them

eliminated will only cause further traffic woes and safety concerns. I commend City Staff and my Council Colleagues for understanding the importance of this issue and agreeing that a review is needed before the bus bays are all removed.

My office has been receiving many e-mails and phone calls regarding the issue and I would like to thank you for sharing me your comments and concerns regarding the issue.

Bite into something organic I am encouraging residents to take time out their day and see what the Stittsville Organic Farmers Market has to offer and support local farmers.

For the past five years during the summer months, the Market operates on Thursdays from 4:30-6:00pm and is situated on the Ottawa Waldorf School grounds just behind the Main Street parking lot.

Vendors sell quality, wholesome products such as meat, cheese, vegetables, fruit, honey, bread and other health food products and natural health services.

Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.

Qadri@ottawa.ca.

My ward office is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, located at 1500 Shea Road. The hours of operation for the summer are Mondays 9-1pm, Wednesdays 3-7pm, Fridays 9-4pm, and Saturday 912pm. Please do not hesitate to pay us a visit.

Thefts from vehicles in Richmond The Ottawa Police Service has issued an alert to Richmond residents about an increase in the number of thefts from vehicles in the community of late.

Such incidents have occurred on various streets including Colonel Murray Street, Cockburn Street, Channonhouse Drive, Dallaire Crescent, Ormsby Drive, King Street, Maitland Street, Mary Hill Crescent, Gamble Drive and Arlberg Lane.

The passenger side door handle was damaged.

erence were approved at a full city of Ottawa council meeting the following day, Wednesday, July 14, with one amendment.

disposal than landfill.

“If we are to be a world class city, we need to look at world class solutions,” she told the committee.

Committee chair councillor Peter Hume reminded those at the meeting that waste from the industrial, commercial and institutional sector, which this proposed new landfill is to handle, is a provincial responsibility.

He urged people to hold MPP’s responsible for better diversion of such waste, saying that while the city has encouraged diversion of residential waste, the province and MPP’s are getting off “scott free” by not encouraging better diversion of industrial, commercial and institutional waste.

The committee’s recommendations on the proposed terms of ref-

Stittsville News - JULY 22, 2010

She added that she also opposes the proposed terms of reference.

Ms. Mantas cited the “widespread and vehement” opposition to the proposal, ranging from Ottawa’s mayor and local councillors and MPP’s to various community based organizations and individuals.

She said that any new landfill would be a disincentive to diversion efforts, saying that people do not want a landfill and its archaic systems and its negative impacts on the community and environment.

“Landfills are a shameless legacy for our city,” she said, urging the city not to continue with the errors of the past but to insist on a first

class solution to waste disposal.

Ms. Mantas said that the Carp Road location is in appropriate, with over 100,000 people living near it. She said that it sits on a gateway to the city and the entrance to the communities of Stittsville and West Carleton.

She cited existing water contamination at the site as well as an “outrageous situation” regarding odours.

She criticized the Waste Management request for a focused or scoped environmental assessment, saying that the environmental assessment should be enlarged to take in alternative solutions and other locations.

Christine Armstrong of Stittsville also called for the city to implement better solutions for waste

The Norm Cooksey Athletics Award, named in honour of a former school trustee, the late Norm Cooksey, was presented to Robin Creighton as the male athlete and Elizabeth Coakeley as the female athlete.

The award recognizes a male and female student who have participated in a variety of extra-curricular sports and who has taken leadership roles in the physical education program.

The Band Award, presented to a student who has consistently shown dedication, leadership and effort and has contributed to the band program, went to Caitlin Dawson.

The Kiwanis Citizenship Award, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn, was presented to Mckenna Bebee. This award goes to a student who has best exemplified the qualities of good citizenship.

The Stephanie Hamilton-Donegan Friendship Award, presented annually in memory of a former teacher who died tragically while on staff at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School, was presented to Mckenna Bebee.

The Ontario Principal’s Council Award recognizing student leadership also went to Mckenna Bebee. This award is presented to a student who has exhibited leadership.

A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School also presents a Special Recognition Award which goes to a student who does not fit into the typical award categories but who is deemed to be deserving of special recognition. This year this award was presented to Naim Ould-Brahim.

Valedictorian for the class of 2010 at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School was Madison Gervais. The valedictorian is a student who has demonstrated maturity, leadership, motivation, a positive attitude, kindness, helpfulness and success.

A tradition at grade eight leaving ceremonies at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School has been the presentation of the school key to a grade eight student to symbolize his or her contribution to the school and the continuing welcome which the school extends to all of its students who leave to return to

the school at any time for a visit.

The key itself, which was first used at the official opening of the school as a symbol of the hand over of the facility from the builders to the then-Carleton Board of Education, was made by the Science and Technology Centre at Carleton University. It is designed with the letters ALC formed into the key bit.

These letters are stylized to create the image of two students.

This year the key was presented to student Chris Clarkson.

Students Chiara Webb and Jack Martin were the MC hosts for the school leaving ceremony this year. A total of 86 grade eight students, from the classes of teachers Norman Hughes, Cathy Anderson, Peter Voteary/Toby Jones and Dianne Khawas received their school leaving diplomas as they are now off to high school in September.

It was Team 4 comprised of Liz Buchanan, Jill Southgate, Irene Rogers, Cheryl White and Bob White) which won the coveted low score award with a 37, due primarily to Irene Rogers’ scorching performance during the last four holes.

This included her shortest distance from the flag award-winning tee shot at the sixth as well as her near miss of a solo birdie on the seventh hole, with the ball lipping the hole and ending up two inches from its eventual destination.

Runner-up for the low score award was Team 2, comprised of Claire Warnock, Sandi Wensink, Audrey Smart and Richard Warnock, thanks to a score of 38 which included a birdie on the part three sixth hole.

Placing third was Team 1, namely Lisa Monkhouse, Angie Paterson, Tina Elliott and Karen Lowe, which also had a 38.

The most honest golfers award went to Team 3 (Ellen Thompson, Doug Thompson, Lee Ekstrom and Christine Hartig) with a score of 40.

After the awards were handed out, the team settled down to a great meal and some serious team bonding (a.k.a. drinking, socializing and some good-natured trash talking).

It was a good night for all with the only damage being some wet clothes and soaked feet as well as a slightly bruised ego suffered by the “winner” of the shortest drive award.

The GSC Hot Flashes would like to thank the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club for hosting this tournament as part of its “Nine & Dine” promotion.

BOB WHITE SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Goulbourn Soccer Club (GSC) Hot Flashes are more accustomed to the soccer pitch but it was on the golf course that they were found on Friday, July 9. It was the inaugural GSC Hot Flashes Golf Tournament which was held at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club.

The Hot Flashes are a Women’s Over 40 soccer team in the Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League which is currently leading its division due to a recent three-game winning streak that has seen victories by the scores of 4-2, 4-1 and 3-1.

The date for the tournament had been set for Friday, July 9 but things did not look promising that morning as various weather forecasts called for a 70 percent chance of severe thunderstorms.

But the “Hotties,” displaying their typical “never say die” attitude, decided to forget ahead with the tournament despite what the weather experts were reporting.

A steady but gentle rain shower greeted the 17 hardy “Hotties” who began teeing off at 5:56 p.m. on July 9th. As one golfer remarked, “It’s perfect weather for a soccer game, so what’s the problem?”

The rain persisted for about 30 minutes before eventually giving way to a majestic sunset accentuated by a gentle mist swirling over the pond that separates the seventh tee and the eighthy fairway. It was a Kodak moment, for sure.

The tournament was followed by an awards banquet at the Wildwood Steak and Chop House which is located in the clubhouse at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club.

Winning the longest drive award was Jill Southgate who narrowly edged out Lee Ekstrom with a tee shot that travelled well over 180 yards.

Angie Paterson, one of the pretournament favourites for the longest drive award, was the clear cut winner instead of the shortest drive award, with her dribbler that went just over three feet.

Other individual award winners were Audrey Smart for most competitive spirit, Irene Rogers for shortest distance from the flag and Sandi Wensink for most original curse for her “Holy Hannah Montana” outburst.

Prior to the team awards being presented, the team sang “Happy Birthday” to the six players who had or were about to celebrate

Four teams in first rugby tournament of season SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Four Ottawa Indians Youth Rugby teams participated in the first rugby tournament of the season recently in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. The teams draw their players from the west end of the city including Stittsville.

In the tournament which was played on Sunday, June 13, all four teams turned in great performances.

The U8 team won all three of its games.

The U10 team joined forces with the RCM Rugby Club team and performed well on the field, outrunning and offloading the ball like

veterans.

The Ottawa Indians U12 team scored three tries in total by Martin Laborde, Mike Power and Gavin Naylor whose try was set up by Sheamus Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell. The players all

West Ottawa Warriors score 13 goals, win tournament SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The West Ottawa Warriors are champions in the Cumberland Cobras Snakebite tournament in Orleans.

The girls U11 Premier soccer team brought home the gold medals from the tournament held on June 26 and 27, capturing the tier 1 division title. Playing against three Cumberland teams in the division, the West Ottawa Warriors finished the tournament with four wins in five games, scoring 13 goals, the most in the division.

The Warriors set their winning tone early in their first game, scoring their first goal of the tournament within ten seconds of play.

Throughout the tournament, the Warriors shut down their opponents by moving the ball quickly into space, by pinpoint passing and by hustling all the time.

The team’s energetic play result in tying for the least goals against total among the teams in the division. Goalies Dana Selwyn and Caileigh Riddell earned three shutouts in the team’s five games.

In the championship game, the West Ottawa Warriors faced the Cumberland premier team which had defeated the Warriors in previous pool play.

Danielle Theoret of the Warriors opened the scoring in the first half. In the second half, both teams played hard, trying

to get the decisive next goal.

The Warriors prevailed, with Molly Martel getting this all-important marker. To seal the victory, Sasha Thomson scored the Warriors’ third and final goal of the game as the team went on to win 3-0 and take the tournament championship.

“Every one of them played a part in our success in this tournament,” coach Alexandre St-Jean said about his players.

Alexandre St-Jean and John MacAngus are the coaches of the West Ottawa Warriors U11 Premier soccer team with Marc Pawlowsky serving as the team manager.

Townhomes again proposed for West Ridge Drive site JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF To have townhomes or not to have townhomes. That is the question.

A previous agreement reached between adjacent residents in the Deer Run subdivision and the landowner at the time to develop a former school site on the west side of West Ridge Drive with 30 single family homes as exists elsewhere in the subdivision has now been abandoned by the site’s new landowner.

Mark Purchase, a representative of Cavanagh Construction, told a dozen people at a public meeting in Stittsville on Monday, July 12 that the new plan, already submitted to the city of Ottawa and currently on circulation to city departments and technical agencies, calls for 60 townhomes as well as five single family homes on the site. The new plan conforms to the site’s zoning.

The townhomes, ranging in size from 1400 square feet to 1800 square feet, will probably sell for $250,000 to $320,000 per unit.

The townhomes will be like those build on Tall Tree Crescent off Abbott Street immediately east of Ecole Jean-Paul II elementary school, another Cavanagh Construction development. Indeed, a waiting list has begun for this proposed new development due to the demand for the Tall Tree Crescent

homes as that development is nearing completion.

Mr. Purchase explained that the demand for townhomes in the community and a belief that a community should have a variety of housing forms have led to the decision to submit the new plan for the site.

“It’s a business decision,” he said. “There’s a market for townhomes.”

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who hosted the public meeting, confirmed the demand for townhomes, saying that he gets a lot of inquiries from young families looking for places to live in Stittsville but who cannot afford $450,000 to $500,000 single family homes.

Greenhaven Crescent resident Jeffrey Holmes, who was a leader of the previous community opposition to townhomes on the site which included petitions and which led to an agreement for single family homes on the site, expressed his continuing opposition at the meeting, noting that people had purchased their homes in the Deer Run subdivision on the understanding that it would be totally single family homes. He said townhomes have parking issues, cause increased traffic and result in mountains of snow in wintertime.

He accused Cavanagh Construction of not being a friend of the community and promised to make

the matter an issue in this fall’s municipal election campaign.

“We’re here asking you to put singles in,” Mr. Holmes told Mr. Purchase. He did, though, propose what he termed a compromise, asking that all single family homes be built on the areas of the site facing West Ridge Drive.

Mr. Purchase said that he would look at the suggested compromise but would not commit to it at the meeting.

City of Ottawa planner Marc Magierowicz did say at the meeting that any planning staff recommendation about the proposed new plan for the site would not be forthcoming until after comments are received from the current circulation of the plan and until public comments are received. However, he did say that the freeze on new development in the Kanata/Stittsville area served by the Hazeldean sewer pumping station does impact this site. He said that a review of the matter should be completed by the end of this year and also indicated that there will be sewer capacity available for the proposed development sometime in the future because of planned upgrades to the pumping station.

Concerns were also expressed at the meeting about possible water pressure and hydro supply problems at the site. Planner Magierowicz said that water pressure and hydro had not been identified as

Spanner, Tribal, Woolrich, Viyella, Signal, Lanalee, 600 West, Nic & Zoe, Lois Jeans, Magic Mountain, Royal Robbins Fashions, Jewellery, Hats, Shoes & Purses

that could accommodate townhomes but the developer at that time went along with a plan for single family homes on the site in keeping with the wishes of the adjacent community which had been adamant in wanting single family housing on the site in keeping with the rest of the community.

Councillor Qadri, at the meeting, said that his position with regard to the form of housing on this site is the same as it was in 2007 when the issue first came up, namely that he would prefer single family homes on the site. However, he did point out that there is a reality of the zoning that applies to the site and this zoning which is in place does allow the townhome proposal.

He did speak in favour of the proposed compromise where all of the West Ridge frontage would be single family homes.

Restrict Access to Your Backyard Pool

Make This Summer Season a Safe One MC - Swimming is a popular pastime when it is hot outside - providing good exercise and keeping you cool. However, on average 4,000 water-related injuries occur every year. Many of them are related to swimming and boating. One in four fatal drownings is a child under the age of 14.

Even non-fatal drownings can be dangerous. Brain damage can occur from when a person is denied oxygen for prolonged periods. That is why pool safety should be an utmost priority this season.

Swim in safe areas only. It’s a good idea to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard. Swimming in an open body of water is different from swimming in a pool. You need more energy to handle the currents and other conditions. Don’t panic and don’t fight the current. Swim with the current, gradually trying to make your way back to shore as you do so. * Remove enticing toys. Children may be drawn to floats or toys remaining in a pool. Take them out of the water when the pool is not being used. * Learn to swim. Enroll the family in a certified swimming

course. Not only will you learn the basics of swimming, you can learn techniques to stay afloat and save someone’s life. * Turn off the pump. Injuries have occurred across the country when children get stuck to filter intake sources. While many of these injuries occurred in larger, commercial pools, accidents can still occur at home. Turn off the filter for safety’s sake when the pool is in use. * Learn CPR. If a person does become injured in a pool, prompt commencement of CPR can help clear the airways and revive an individual. Sign up for a class in your area.

* Prevent falls around the pool. Encourage swimmers to walk around the pool perimeter, not run. Otherwise they could trip and fall. * Be careful at the Water Park. OK, so you do more splashing than swimming, but it’s just as important to know your skill level at the water park as it is at the pool. Take a moment to read warnings and other signs.

The pool and the beach are great places to learn new skills, socialize, and check out everyone’s new beach toy. So don’t let paying attention to safety turn you off. Now go have fun!

Retail area will bear Entertaining fair coming historic Grant name IN SEPTEMBER

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF

The Richmond Fair once again this year is offering a full slate of entertainment.

It all starts on Friday night, Sept. 17 when the five piece retro rock and roll party band known as Daisy Train will open for the legendary Canadian musician David Wilcox.

Daisy Train plays non-stop hits from the 1980’s.

David Wilcox is a world renowned guitar player as well as a song writer and singer.

He is a veteran recording artist ranging from “Out of the Woods” in 1980 to “Boy in the Boat” in 2007.

He has five gold and platinum albums and in the 1980’s became a huge favourite on the college circuit, playing more than 300 dates a year and being named Entertainer of the Year in 1985 by the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities.

Saturday afternoon, Sept. 18 at the Richmond Fair will see the rock ‘n roll group Eddy and the Stingrays take to the stage.

This group has built up a popular following in the Ottawa area due to their appearances over the years.

The Saturday night dance will feature Roadhouse while the Sunday afternoon en-

RETIRED

tertainment will include Canadian country singer and songwriter Dennis Whitty and the country music trio The Wilkinsons.

Dennis Whitty has been entertaining for over 20 years thanks to his powerful voice and acoustic guitar.

He toured Canada for over a decade with his country rock band Dennis Whitty and Wheatstone Bridge.

His hand-clapping, foot stomping performances are now always well received at any event at which he performs.

Dennis Whitty will be sharing the bill with The Wilkinsons, the family friendly Ontario-based contemporary country music trio that includes the patriarch songwriting father Steve Wilkinson, his daughter Amanda and his son Tyler.

The Wilkinsons have received multiple Grammy nominations, numerous Juno nominations and various awards including a five award sweep at the 1999 Canadian Country Music Awards.

The Wilkinsons have performed around the world, from Germany to Australia as well as across North America.

Entertainment, of course, is only one of numerous features at the annual Richmond Fair which this year runs from Thursday, Sept. 16 through to Sunday, Sept. 19.

DAIRY FARMER

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF

The new retail commercial development now going up on the north side of Hazeldean Road west of Carp River will bear the name “Grant Crossing.”

Signs identifying the two building complex as Grant Crossing have now gone up at the front of the site along

Hazeldean Road.

The name carries forth the heritage of the site as the western part of the development, where the multi-outlet building is, is where the Robert H. Grant farm was located. He lived there from 1885 through to his death in 1930, during which time he was prominent in local affairs and served as Minister of Education for the prov-

ince of Ontario.

His father, also Robert Grant, one of the original settlers of the area, was a prominent local citizen in his own right who died in the Carleton County Fire of 1870 which swept across the very area where this new retail development is being established.

Garnet Foster of Twin Elm dies Garnet Foster has died.

The retired dairy farmer in the Twin Elm area along Richmond Road just outside Richmond passed away on Wednesday, July 7, 2010. He was 89.

He is survived by his wife Minerva, two sons Steven and Bruce and a daughter Janet and three grandchildren.

He had been a resident at Stonehaven Manor for the final years of his life. His last weeks and day were spent at the Ottawa

Hospital.

The funeral service was held in the chapel of the Kelly Funeral Home on Eagleson Road in Kanata on Monday, July 12, followed by interment at the St. Thomas Cemetery at Stanley’s Corners.

Donations to the Ottawa Civic Hospital or the Queensway Carleton hospital in memory of Garnet would be appreciated by the family.

Students join forces SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Two are better than one.

In keeping with this principle, Sacred Heart Catholic High School and Holy Spirit Catholic School recently came together to learn about solar energy and how to fight climate change.

Grade 11 environmental science students from Sacred Heart worked on a solar car project with Holy Spirit’s grade five students. The environmental science course at Sacred Heart is part of the school’s environmental specialist high skills major program.

Sacred heart grade 11 students taught Holy Spirit students about solar energy and supervised a solar car construction project that culminated in a race. This solar car challenge met Ministry of Education curriculum expectations for both grade levels.

Holy Spirit is an EcoSchool and this is one of the many initiatives which the school undertook to obtain its EcoSchool silver certification level. EcoSchools are schools which use innovative teaching to help students develop ecological literacy while engaged in practices to become environmentally responsible citizens. To become certified as an EcoSchool, a school must dem-

onstrate achievement in at least four key areas: energy conservation, waste minimization, ecological literacy and school grounds greening for shade and energy conservation. An EcoSchool certification recognizes a school for its environmental initiatives, awarding a bronze, silver or gold EcoSchool status depending on how fully the school has met the requirements of the program.

So, it is indeed appropriate and noteworthy that this new retail shopping area will be bearing the name “Grant”, honouring a family which played a leading role in area affairs from the days of the first settlement right through to 1930.

Grant Crossing, which will bear the street addresses of 5487 to 5617 Hazeldean Road, is being developed by the RioCan and Trinity development firms.

The development includes a Lowe’s home building supplies store which will be located in the building closest to the Carp River which only has its steel frame erected as yet. Other businesses located in the development will include a Bouclair Home outlet, arts and crafts store Michaels, HomeSense, Winners, Value Village, Bushtukah, Irish Eye Care and Sally Beauty. There will also be a dental office and a hair salon.

R.H. Grant served as Minister of Education JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Robert Henry Grant was not only prominent in community affairs in Stittsville and Goulbourn but made his mark in provincial politics as well, serving as provincial Minister of Education from 1919 through 1923.

He first married Sarah Cuddie but they did not have any children at the time of her death. He then married Sarah Gourlay and from this union came six sons and three daughters.

Mrs. Grant was active in the community as well, serving as the first president of the Stittsville branch of the Women’s Institute in 1908. In fact, she was the moving spirit behind the forming of the branch. The Women’s Institute was spreading quickly through rural Ontario at this time, with the first-ever Women’s Institute branch had just been founded at Stoney Creek in 1897.

Robert Henry Grant himself was educated in public school and was a graduate of the Ottawa Collegiate Institute. When he was 20, he returned with his mother and the rest of the family to the Grant homestead in 1880, ten years after the tragic Carleton County Fire of 1870.

Indeed, Robert H. Grant not only lost his father in the Fire of 1870 but was an active participant. It was Robert, then ten years old, who on August 17, 1870 carried his one year

old baby brother, Jim, wrapped in a coat of his father’s, from their burning home across the road to the home of James Butler where the Grant family spent the night, obviously a grief filled time as the family had lost not only a husband and father in the fire but also their home and their possessions as well.

He later graduated from the Guelph Agricultural College and went on to attend the University of Toronto as a faculty of arts undergraduate. However, he did not graduate as he was called home short of his degree in order to manage the family’s estate.

Besides farming, Robert Henry Grant kept busy, dabbling in politics as he served in various township, county and other posts. He served several terms on Carleton County Council representing Goulbourn township as well as serving 12 years as a county auditor and ten years as a local license commissioner. He also served as a property evaluator for the federal government both for the purchase of the Central Experimental Farm lands at Ottawa in 1885 and again in 1915 for the purchase of the 10,000 acre Valcartier Concentration Camp by the federal Department of Militia and Defence.

R.H. Grant took an active interest in local Goulbourn affairs, serving as deputy-reeve on Goulbourn township council for a number of years in the late 1880’s and into the 1890’s.

Besides holding public office, he

Robert H. Grant

also served in various township positions over the years. For instance, he was a fence viewer, appointed annually almost without exception between 1896 and 1910.

In 1911, he was appointed assessor for Goulbourn township, a post which he continued to hold in 1912.

He was appointed auditor for the annual accounts of the township on several occasions in the early years of the 20th century, including 1907 and 1908.

In 1914, a township bylaw appointed him ad auditor of the accounts due to the resignation of W.H. Vaughan as township treasurer. This resignation required that an auditor be appointed to review the accounts. He was also appointed that same year as one of two auditors to perform the annual

audit of the township accounts.

In 1911, besides being the assessor for the township, R.H. Grant was paid $15 for “equalizing five Union School Sections”.

His municipal involvement also extended to the selection of jurors.

A 1911 motion of Goulbourn council authorized “…that R.H. Grant, G. Flewellyn and J.A. Cummings be paid $4.00 each for selecting jurors”.

He was in prominent company in this task as G. Flewellyn was the reeve and J.A. Cummings was the township clerk.

But it was as an active farmer that he spent most of his time and as such was associated with various agricultural groups.

In 1909, R.H. Grant was among those who formed the Hazeldean Rural Telephone Company, a cooperative telephone system where every subscriber was a shareholder. He was one of the original directors of this company which provided telephone service to the Stittsville/Hazeldean and surrounding area, right through until it was sold to the Bell Telephone Company in 1958.

Robert H. Grant, who joined the Goodwood Masonic Lodge in Richmond in 1889, served as Master of the Lodge for two consecutive terms in 1896 and 1897. He became a charter member of Hazeldean Lodge No. 517 when it began in 1914.

RETAIL, FROM 36

ing much in such a scenario would have challenged a person far more politically adept and educationally expert than R.H. Grant.

But he was able to make some improvement in rural education due to the growth in Continuation Schools, such as the Grant Consolidated School at Britannia which opened in 1923.

This was the first consolidated school in Carleton County, his home riding.

Such consolidated schools provided secondary education for the rural population equal to the level of education that was already generally enjoyed by urban youth. But consolidated schools did not become widely accepted in the rural community.

R.H. Grant has been criticized for having little experience in the field of education and thus being out of his depth as the Minister of Education, with his actions at the mercy of the permanent members

of his department.

As for R.H. Grant himself, his assessment of his service as Minister of Education for the province, which he gave in a 1922 address to the Ontario Educational Association, is as follows: “I sometimes think that we are making fair progress, that we are bringing about desired changes, that we are making advancement, but there is so much to meet, seemingly so much to be done, that I become exceedingly impatient at the progress that we are making. I ask you to have patience, I ask you to have faith. I am one of yourselves.

I do not, and never have pretended to be an educationist. If I can make use of those who have made that their life calling to the best advantage and provide the means to carry their efforts to the highest point of success, I shall be perfectly satisfied.”

R.H. Grant, like the U.F.O./I.L.P. coalition government, was not

re-elected in the 1923 provincial election.

He returned to his Goulbourn farm, dying in 1930. His son, Arthur W. Grant, carried on with the farm until 1965 when it passed out of the Grant name, ending more than 140 years of Grant ownership of land on the 12th concession of Goulbourn at Stittsville.

In 1979, a suggestion was made at the Goulbourn township council table by councillor Gilmour Brown that old highway seven from Glen Cairn to Stittsville be named Robert Grant Road in honour of Robert H. Grant.

He noted that Mr. Grant had not only lived along this section of road but is acknowledged as being responsible for getting the road paved as a provincial highway during his tenure at Queen’s Park.

However, councillor Brown’s suggestion was not taken up and the road was eventually named the Hazeldean Road.

In 1917, as a member of both the Goodwood Lodge and the Hazeldean Lodge, he was the District Deputy Grand Master for the Ottawa area.

He obviously liked politics, for in both 1907 and 1912, he ran for the federal Conservative nomination in the Carleton riding but both times failed.

But then along came the 1919 provincial election and with it R.H. Grant found success, although it was not as a Conservative but as a member of the upstart United Farmers of Ontario. Undoubtedly because of his agricultural background and his interest in politics, R.H. Grant became the U.F.O. standard bearer in the Carleton riding in this 1919 provincial election.

It was a two-way race with R.H. Grant facing Conservative incumbent A.H. Acres. When the ballots were counted, R.H. Grant had won by 1,000 votes and took his place with 44 other U.F.O. successful candidates at Queen’s Park.

The U.F.O. then formed a coalition with the Independent Labour Party which had surprisingly elected 11 members to the Legislature in the election. The Tories and the Liberals elected 25 and 29 respectively, marking for a collective 54 seats. The U.F.O./I.L.P. alliance thus had a slim margin with its 56 seats.

Being elected caught the U.F.O. off guard as the party did not even have a leader. E.C. Drury, another graduate of the Guelph Agricultural College, was selected.

Just why the U.F.O. went from two MPP’s to 45 MPP’s in this 1919 election lies in its ability to tap into an outpouring of concern in the rural areas of the province about rural de-population and the loss of agrarian values. It was also the first election in which women had the vote and this is viewed as impacting the outcome.

When E.C. Drury chose his cabinet, Robert Henry Grant, who was the only U.F.O. MPP elected from Eastern Ontario, was assigned the education portfolio.

Grant was described by Drury “as a scholarly old chap with a good presence in spite of his want of a university degree”. Both, however, were graduates of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph.

The monthly journal of the University of Toronto’s faculty of education approved of the selection of R.H. Grant as Minister of Education, commenting that despite his lack of experience as an educator, it was felt that he would have a person understanding of what was needed for rural school reform which was an issue of the day, particularly for the U.F.O. As for Robert Grant himself, he was self-effacing when he made his first formal appearance in Toronto in late November of 1919 as he said “I have frequently had to pinch myself to make sure that I was not dreaming, for six weeks ago I had overalls on, never anticipating that I would by this time be addressing such a large audience in Toronto as Minister of Education …I came to see you, and to allow you to see me. I want to assure you of my sympathy and interest in everything that will advance the education of the province. Down in my county I have always been considered somewhat of a crank in educational matters because I believe that it was impossible to squander money for education.”

And with these words, R.H. Grant began his four years as Minister of Education in Ontario.

Teacher training and remuneration, school attendance, appropriate rural education and consolidation of schools and school sections were all major issues during R.H. Grant’s tenure as education minister.

Was R.H. Grant a successful Minister?

In viewing this, it must be remembered that his Department of Education had grown in size and importance in the period from 1900 to his takeover in 1919. As an established and growing department serving a society with an increased emphasis on schooling in general and specialized education such as industrial and technical education in particular, accomplish-
