‘What A Catch!’ at Museum SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Gone fishing. This is what many have done in years gone by and indeed still do. Fishing is one of the most universal of endeavours, both for sport and for many in the world, for a livelihood. Many enjoy it as a summer pastime, spending hours with a line in the water to pull in an elusive catch. Now, you can enjoy some of the appeal of fishing by visiting the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners where there is a new exhibit, called “What A RHYTHM, SEE 5 Catch!� on display. It is an exhibit all about

antique fishing tackle including a collection of antique lures, rods and other fishing gear. This equipment is on loan to the Museum from members of the community. The exhibit demonstrates how the technology and technique of fishing has changed over the years. This exhibit will be on display at the Museum until September. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

By tradition, there is supposedly a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. And when a rainbow appeared in the eastern sky just as the formal sod turning was taking place at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new National Capital Region Habitat for Humanity home in Stittsville on Wednesday, Aug. 4, there was no doubt about what it represented, especially for the Tareq family – its “pot of gold,� a newly built Habitat for Humanity home that will be taking shape through to mid-October at the Carp Road site. Conditions were ideal for rainbow making as rain had come down during the half hour ceremony prior to the sod turning while slanting sunshine streamed down the Carp Road from the west. And conditions were also ideal for house building, as Habitat for Humanity chief executive officer Donna Hicks and Board chair Melissa Clark announced the beginning of construction for Habitat for Humanity NCR’s 36th new home project and second one in Stittsville. As a crowd of onlookers huddled under two open sided tents and others stood under umbrellas to keep out of the rain, Ms. Hicks introduced Habitat for Humanity staff and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who is a big supporter of the Habitat for Humanity organization.

Rhythmic sounds from an array of instruments from around the world filled the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 4. It was all part of an interactive presentation about unique percussion instruments found in places like South America and Africa, presented by Argentina-born musician Alicia Borisonik. Eight youngsters attended the presentation which started off with Ms. Borisonik making a hidden sound with one of various instruments and then the audience telling what the music sounded like – a bird, rain falling, a woodpecker, a frog, thunder. She then took the instruments out of hiding and showed them – a thunder drum, a cylinder-type instrument that can be scratched with a stick, a rain box that can be hit with a mallet-type stick, a tambourine type rattle. It was then on to the drums – two Bombo drums from Argentina, with the playing surface made from the skin of a cow.

closer to having a home. “I’m sure this is how the Tareq family feels about this hole becoming a home,” she said. Ms. Hicks also noted that National Capital Region Habitat for Humanity is not only going to raise the $20,000 more needed for this new home in Stittsville but also has set the goal to raise enough funds to build two houses in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. These houses in Haiti will be so-called “core houses” which are single room shelters to which more rooms can be added in the future. They will be earthquake resistant and offer living space for a family of five. And already the funding needed is coming in, some thanks to three young brothers in Stittsville. They were present at the ceremony to turn over funds which they raised thanks to a lemonade stand which they set up in their driveway on a recent day. The three Bedard brothers – Kaden, 4, Dylan, 5 and Bradley, 7 – had decided on their own to provide the funds raised to help “people who don’t have houses.” Habitat for Humanity was the perfect recipient. Mohammed Tareq, in his remarks at the ceremony, noted that this will be the first home owned by his family. He already has provided much “sweat equity” in other projects, part of the requirements that must be met for any new Habitat for Humanity homeowner. He said that his sons in particular were very happy about the new home, a fact which was borne out when his older son, ten year old Justin, took to the microphone and gave his three reasons why he was excited about moving into the soon-to-be-built home. The home will have a basement where he and his younger brother Sam can play, he said. In addition, he will have his own room which he has never had up to now and the new home will also have a backyard.
Before the official sod turning at the ceremony, a blessing was delivered involving the recitation of a short chapter from the Koran and asking that the home be blessed, with construction being completed in good weather and safely. While rain, sometimes heavy and sometimes sputtering, fell throughout the ceremony, it was as people emerged from under the tents and their umbrellas for the actual sod turning near the mountain of excavated earth with the rain dissipating that the rainbow arching in the eastern sky, seemingly just beyond the Stittsville Main Street/Carp
Road intersection, was first noticed. Habitat for Humanity CEO Donna Hicks exclaimed that the rainbow was a sign of good luck for the project. Construction is now underway on the new two storey home. It is utilizing a floor plan previously used by Habitat for Humanity, although a few architectural adjustments were made. The 40 by 20 foot home plan proved to be a tight fit for the irregular lot but it does fit. Volunteer crews of 10 to 15 people will be on the site each day now through to midOctober, working on constructing the new home.

She also introduced Rick Palmer, manager of the Home Depot in Kanata, part of the Home Depot organization that has provided both funds and materials to Habitat for Humanity for its home building projects. Councillor Qadri, in his remarks, noted that the Habitat for Humanity program, which sees housing built by volunteer labour and donated materials and funds for families which would not otherwise achieve home ownership, does not just build homes but also helps to build communities, citing the case of the two families involved in Stittsville’s previous Habitat for Humanity build on Cedar Street. These two families are now involved in community life in Stittsville. On behalf of the community, he welcomed the Tareq family to the community – Mohammed Tareq, his wife Tania Sultana and their sons Justin, 10, and Sammy, 6. Rick Palmer of Home Depot, noting the metres high pile of earth sitting adjacent to the site of the groundbreaking which had come from the excavation for the new home, said that what is now a hole in the ground will be transformed in the coming couple of months into a home for a deserving family. He thanked Habitat for Humanity for giving Home Depot the opportunity to be involved in this project. Habitat for Humanity CEO Donna Hicks thanked Home Depot and the other sponsors and volunteers for their efforts in making this new home project a reality. The building lot, on the south side of Carp Road between Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street, was largely donated with some money involved. There is still $20,000 left to raise for this project but she expressed confidence that this would be done. She said that it is exciting when a project begins as it means that a family is a step

Building homes but also communities It is certainly a good new story that Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region has started construction on a new Habitat home on Carp Road in Stittsville. This will be the second Habitat project in Stittsville and will be providing a new home for a family that would not otherwise be able to own its own home. There is still some fundraising required for this new Habitat for Humanity home in Stittsville but construction is underway and the $20,000 needed will undoubtedly be raised. That’s because Habitat for Humanity is so well respected and enjoys a sterling reputation as an organization that is not only providing housing that is affordable for those who would never achieve a family home otherwise but also an organization who has a winning formula. The new homeowner must contribute so-called “sweat equity” in other Habitat projects in order to qualify to be a
AT OCTOBER
selected homeowner of a Habitat built home. The home is built thanks to donations from the community and from various corporate sponsors such as Home Depot which provides many of the materials needed for a home’s construction. And the home is built by volunteers, giving people a “hands on” opportunity to make a difference in a family’s life. Not only this but Habitat for Humanity is an advocate for recycling and re-use. Its Re-Store provides an outlet where building materials can be recycled and re-used. So, what a great organization. The Stittsville community is certainly fortunate to have Habitat for Humanity doing some of its work right here in Stittsville. One of the greatest challenges for Habitat for Humanity is obtaining land at an affordable price on which to build its homes. Such building sites are few and far between. It seems to us that this problem could be solved if the de-
velopment community got on board. If each subdivision developer donated one lot to Habitat for Humanity, then the scarcity of building sites would be dissipated. The developer would get credit for the donation but more importantly, would know that more families would get the opportunity to own their own home, something that will just not happen naturally because these families, while hard working and employed, just cannot economically qualify for home ownership under regular circumstances. They need the helping hand that Habitat for Humanity gives to them. And, as has been the case in Stittsville and no doubt elsewhere, Habitat homeowning families become involved and supportive members of their new community. After all, they know what a thrill and privilege it is to have their own home and they want to contribute to their new community and fellow citizens and homeowners.
MEETING
Author will give view on historical fiction JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Fact and fiction. Are they complementary or adversarial? Is there a place for historical fiction in the world of historical fact? For David Mulholland, an Ottawa writer who has authored two historical fiction novels, there is a place for such writing in the world of history. That will be his focus when he speaks on the topic “How Historical Fiction Complements the Historical Record” at the upcoming October meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. He will use examples from his novels to make his point. This meeting will be held on Saturday, Oct. 16 at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

has been a speech writer for several federal government departments and has written a syndicated country music column. In 2001, he began working full time on writing a novel which was published in Oct. 2006 by General Store Publishing House of Burnstown.

RHYTHM, FROM 1
tle with a high pitch made from a three foot long bone from a condor, South America’s giant bird; a whistle made from bamboo which had a trombone-type action which resulted in a sound that went from high to low; and another bamboo whistle of a cylindrical shape with holes in it, much like a flute. Not all of the instruments shown were made of unique materials or from exotic places. Ms. Borisonik played a plastic whistle which had a whizzing sound. She also played a wooden whistle which sounded like the whistle of a steam train. The session ended like all musi-
cal events should, with a good old fashioned, as it were, jam session. Each youngster got one of the instruments from Ms. Borisonik’s collection, be it a cylinder with a small hammer or a small tambourine-sounding shaker or perhaps a drum. This is when the room filled with rhythmic sounds. Some songs were even tried, all familiar melodies like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and “Happy Birthday.” The group did get more adventuresome and tried “We Will Rock You” and “When I Get Older”, along with “Frere Jacques”
and even a Justin Bieber song. Alicia Borisonik, who supplied the instruments and led the session, is a musician by trade, performing with a group called “Alicia Borisonik and the Argentinian Project.” This group has performed at the 4th Stage at the National Arts Centre this past June in a performance featuring Argentinian music and tango. Ms. Borisonik was a singer, arranger, composer and performer in her native Argentina before emigrating to Canada in 1994. She now has a career involving composing, teaching and performing.

Cows, horses, even sheep at annual Richmond Fair JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF
Do you want to see cows? Beef or dairy? How about horses? Or sheep? Then the place that you want to be is the annual Richmond Fair which this year runs from Thursday evening, Sept. 16 through Sunday, Sept. 19 at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. Now, talk about seeing cows. Let’s count the ways. There is an open 4H dairy showmanship show followed by a pre 4H dairy showmanship show on Friday, Sept. 17 starting at 11 a.m. Then there’s a Jersey and Holstein dairy show starting at 1 p.m. that same day. But not enough. Then plan to attend on Saturday, Sept. 18 when there will be a junior Shorthorn and junior Hereford beef show, an open 4H beef showmanship show and a Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford beef show. If you still haven’t seen everything you want to see, then return on Sunday, Sept. 19 for an open 4H beef showmanship show with a pre 4H beef showmanship show following and a Limousin and Simmental beef show. But you are not a cow person – you like horses. Then plan to attend on Saturday, Sept. 18 and Sunday, Sept. 19. There’s a saddle and harness horse show starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18; the line classes in the heavy horse show that same day, beginning at 9:30 a.m.; a western horse and pony games show, also starting at 9:30 a.m. on the Saturday;
and the hitch classes in the heavy horse show starting at 1 p.m. on the Saturday. But, wait, there’s more on the Sunday, Sept. 19. There’s the western horse and pony performance show, the miniature horse show (they’re so cute), the draft and commercial horse show, and the hitch classes of the heavy horse show including the spectacular six horse hitches. And don’t forget the sheep. The Fair’s sheep show begins at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 19. You may see a lot of sheep but you won’t be falling asleep as you marvel at these woolly beasts and their handlers. So, livestock again this year has its hoof prints all over the Richmond Fair. But this is only part of what’s going on. There’s the Robertson Amusements midway and all its rides; there’s family entertainment on the outdoor stage; there’s Kiddyland for the youngsters; there’s entertainment in the arena; there’s wagon ride tours of the grounds for seniors’ there’s the fascination of the antique farm machinery on display; there’s home cooked meals in the dining hall thanks to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church this year; and there’s a host of other special events like the demolition derby, a lawn tractor pull, homecraft exhibits in the Richmond Curling Club building, and a non-denomination church service on the Sunday morning. So, when Sept. 16 to Sept. 19 comes, plan to follow the road to Richmond and enjoy a good time at the annual fall fair which bills itself as “A Country Fair Where Town and Country Meet.”

The smaller Bombo drum was passed around, with each youngster getting an opportunity to play it. Then, the youngsters had the chance to try the Djembe drum from Africa. This is best played by sitting on the drum as it lies on its side and playing the exposed top. Several youngsters tried this out. Ms. Borisonik then played the Djembe drum, beating out a rhythm as the youngsters were encouraged to shout out what they
liked for dinner, with the answer forming the next rhythmic chant. This ranged from pasta to pizza to ice cream to tacos to chocolate. Then it was time for the youngsters to see a variety of unique instruments such as an instrument made from animal horns which makes the sound like rain falling; two halves of a bean, hollowed out, which clapped together make a duck-like sound or a chicken sound when hit on the knee; a clay whistle made by the aboriginal people of Argentina; another whis-
Drug bust at Lions Park in Richmond JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF A call to the Ottawa Police Service from a convened citizen ended up with a drug bust. About 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 1, the
police were called to alert them to a suspicious vehicle with two or three male teens inside driving erratically in the area of Lions Park in Richmond. When police searched the area, they found not only the teens and their vehicle at Li-
ons Park but also found over $3,000 in cash and what police are describing as a sizable quantity of marijuana and cocaine inside the vehicle. In addition, a search of the canteen at Lions Park produced a plastic tray with a line
of cocaine neatly laid out on its surface. Sitting next to the line was a rolled up ďŹ ve dollar bill and a white plastic card. Three older teens, two from Richmond and one from Kemptville, were arrested and charged by the police with drug possession.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Munster, Richmond and Stittsville – the thefts from parked vehicles continues. Sometime around 4 a.m. on a recent Saturday, a van on Dogwood Drive in Munster was broken into. A book and a driver’s license were stolen. Overnight on that same Saturday/Sunday, an unidentified thief or thieves entered an unlocked vehicle on Tarryn Terrace in Richmond and stolen a GPS unit valued at $350. Dalewood Crescent in the new Traditions subdivision at the south end of Stittsville saw a thief or thieves ransack a pickup truck sometime in the very early morning of a Sunday. Numerous items such as a paint sprayer, sunglasses, a laptop, keys and about $1,800 in cash were reported stolen. On Colonel Murray Street in Richmond, an unidentified thief or thieves broke into a locked pickup truck by JOHN CURRY PHOTO prying open a rear passenger window. A MP3 player, Akash Sinha, president of Dharma Developments, stands at a barrier at the edge of the site of the new Orville Station residential/commercial an in-car charger and a stereo connector cable were reported stolen. development where site preparation is now underway.
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The development train has pulled into Orville Station. Servicing and site preparation work has now begun on the residential/commercial project at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Orville Street, called Orville Station by its developer, Dharma Developments of Ottawa. Once the servicing and site preparation has been completed, construction will begin on the first phase of the development, consisting of the eastern and southern residential buildings involving 23 units. The third west building, with 13 units, will then follow. Akash Sinha, president of Dharma Developments, says that the goal is to begin construction this fall to allow for occupancy next spring. He acknowledges that the purchasers of the 23 units being built first have waited a long time due to delays in the project and he wants to acknowledge their loyalty by constructing their units as soon as possible. “We’re anxious to get them in their homes,” he says. He promises to have more definite timelines about the third, west building and the commercial component of the development at a groundbreaking BBQ event which is being planned for Sunday, Sept. 26 at the site’s Stittsville Main Street sales centre. He said that he is still working on the scheduling of the commercial component of the project which will be between the third building and the existing buildings along Stittsville Main Street. “Our priority right now is residential,” he said in relation to how the Orville Station project will proceed. He is proud that Orville Station will be offering quality, affordable and attractive housing in which will be the first such project in Stittsville to gain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. It has been three years since this Orville Station project was first proposed by Dharma Developments. The project would have begun a year ago except for an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board about the project by the city of Ottawa.
It ended up that the matter did not go to the OMB as the dispute was settled between the developer and the city before the OMB hearing came up. The city’s OMB appeal related to an unprecedented 15 minor variances which had been granted for the project by the city’s Committee of Adjustment. The city’s legal department felt that this amounted to a rezoning of the site and took action to uphold the city’s planning requirements. There was initial community opposition to the Orville Station project because of increased traffic generation and the height of the five storey buildings, especially as they would impact on adjacent single storey bungalows. The zoning on the property allowed five storey buildings. However, despite this, the developer did reduce the proposed number of residential units on the site from a possible 50 to 36 units. Mr. Sinha is happy that the initial vision for the Orville Station project has remained intact despite the delays and some changes to the plan imposed by the settlement. “I’m happy to know that we were able to stick to the vision,” he says, noting that the project remains low rise in nature with a pedestrian focus. He sees Orville Station as helping to revitalize the downtown core area of Stittsville, adding 36 new homeowners to the area. “It’s a charming, beautiful part of Stittsville village,” he says with regard to the Stittsville Main Street area around Orville Street. He notes that the new homeowners will be within walking distance of such existing businesses as Jo Jo’s Pizza and will no doubt help to attract other businesses such as restaurants to that area of the village. He says that there has been good interest expressed in the commercial space portion of the Orville Station project. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri agrees that the Orville Station development should help in revitalizing the south end of Stittsville Main Street. Mr. Sinha is now looking forward to the development of Orville Station and the first residents moving in this coming spring.

The Branch has finally got some paving done. The front parking lot and the driveway as far as the back parking lot have been paved as well as the path from the back lot to the front. This should make it easier to navigate in wet weather as well as in the ice and snow of winter. There are even parking spaces marked out in bright yellow.

leaders, who were mostly French speaking, were friendly and nice. “They made you feel like family and that was probably the best experience,” Katrina said in her presentation about the RYLA camp to the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville. “It was just a really awesome experience,” she said. “I thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend.” She said that by the end of the weekend, everyone realized that they had learned a lot at the camp and also that they were tired – it had been that active an experience.

were tied together with ropes to make decisions en route, for instance, whether to go through a swamp or take another route. It was the group, not the group leader or individuals, who had to make the decision. Leadership of the group rotated and sometimes group members were blindfolded. Add to this that some in the group might be French speaking rather than English speaking and you have a situation where a lot of trust was needed. Imagine, walking through the bush in the dark, blindfolded, being helped by someone that you did not know that well and who spoke a different language. No wonder Katrina calls the camp “not your typical leadership camp.” But she says that participants learned to trust others and that is one way that they all grew during the experience. Katrina told the Rotarians that she loved the RYLA camp experience. “You just felt happy you went there,” she said, even though she did not know anyone when she arrived. However, this proved to be good because she got to meet youth from other areas such as Kingston, Quebec and the United States. While she has been a leadership camps before, she found that this one was different because the leaders got everyone involved through their trust exercises and games. Also, the food was great, which is not a bad thing. She liked the way that the

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Imagine a late night hike through a dark, unfamiliar forest, connected by ropes to several others, led by a leader who at one point abandons you. Sound like fun? Well, as odd as it sounds, it was, at least afterwards when looking back on the experience. “The late night hike was a very memorable experience,” Katrina Harder of Stittsville told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at their Aug. 3 meeting. Katrina, who is going into grade 12 at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville this September, got to experience the late night hike as well as other trust-building games and exercises when she recently attended a weekend-long Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) leadership camp program near Mont Tremblant in Quebec. She is the first youth from Stittsville to attend such a RYLA camp under the sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. “It was all about teamwork,” Katrina explained in telling about the late night hike that she admitted left the two dozen or so young people tired but with fun memories. She said that it was on the hike that she learned her greatest lesson at the camp, saying that it was then that it clicked with her that a person can be a leader and still be in the background. The hike showed her that sometimes a person has to step back and take instructions. The hike also forced the groups which

He is being challenged by four other nominated candidates to date: Bruce Chrustie of rural Goulbourn; Iain McCallum of Richmond; Scott Moffatt of North Gower, who finished second to Mr. Brooks in the last municipal election four years ago; and Bruce Webster of Richmond. “I still have the ‘fire’ to serve and the dedication to fight for those rural issues of importance to rural residents while still supporting those issues and projects that will make the city of Ottawa a stronger, more vibrant place to work, play and live,” Mr. Brooks wrote when announcing his candidacy.

He wants to take a common sense approach to city business, always asking the question if a policy or bylaw or procedure makes sense in today’s environment. He notes that the Stittsville community is ever changing and growing. He notes that some of the projects which are now coming on stream have roots that in some cases go back to the 1990’s. “It’s now my opportunity to put a Stittsville stamp on them,” he said.

MP Gordon O’Connor gives views on issues JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The long form census, Senate reform, criminal code changes, immigration changes, election possibilities and Nortel pensions all came up at a nearly two hour “In Your Area” meeting held by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor in Richmond on Tuesday, Aug. 3. Responding to questions from ten members of the public who sat around a central table complex on which small Canadian flags had been placed, MP O’Connor gave his view on the concerns raised. With regard to the federal government’s cancellation of the long form census, he said that this was done because of the government’s response to privacy concerns expressed by a lot of people who did not want to fill out the multi-question form.
While admitting that census professionals like the idea of a compulsory census, he argued that doubling the number of forms sent out but making it voluntary would produce roughly the same quality of information. “From a political point of view, we don’t like the census,” Mr. O’Connor said. Senate reform in terms of having an elected Senate is stalled because of opposition in the House of Commons and from certain provinces. “The problem is we don’t have the Commons locked up,” he said, while also noting that both Ontario and Quebec oppose the change to an elected Senate. This eliminates any legislative action in Parliament or any effort to change the Constitution since it would be impossible to meet the requirement of having the agreement of seven provinces with at least half of the country’s
population. M r . O’Connor said that the Conservative government’s basic approach to criminal justice is that those convicted will serve Gordon O’Connor their prison sentences. “You do the crime, you do the time,” he said, acknowledging that this approach will mean more prisoners and hence will require more prisons to be built. He said that in immigration, the government is trying to change the emphasis of immigration from the previous family reunification focus to a focus on what skills the country needs from immigrants to

He said that the Liberals will not trigger an election and they are the key with regard to the Opposition in the House of Commons forcing an election. He said as well that he does not see what reason the Prime Minister could give if he were to call an election in the next few months. He said that the Conservatives are only 12 seats short of a majority government, adding that this number of seats could be picked

up in Ontario so that the party only has to hold onto its current seats in Quebec to gain majority status in a future election. Mr. O’Connor said that he has asked for clarification about whether Nortel pensioners will be getting 81 percent or 64 percent of their pensions. It was explained at the meeting that pensioners could not be given a higher priority in bankruptcy proceedings like the Nortel situation since it would cause repercussions in the credit market and force possible overnight bankruptcies for firms.

Usually the green is filled with adult Club members, enjoying the sport of lawn bowling. But on this day, a handful of Club members, wearing Club-identifying dark blue shirts, were still enjoying themselves but not by lawn bowling themselves but rather than instructing a group of youngsters on how to lawn bowling. Twenty-two youngsters, aged 6 to 10, both boys and girls, from the Baywood School Age Program, wearing turquoise coloured t-shirts and most sporting hats of one style or another, were at the lawn bowling green to learn about lawn bowling. The Baywood School Age Program is a child care program housed at Stittsville’s Guardian Angels Catholic School which provides before and after school care as well as day-long care on holidays including the summer holidays. The Program’s supervisors had arranged for the visit to the lawn bowling green. It was viewed as a new activity for the youngsters as well as being a facility in the community. The youngsters were excited to be able to visit the facility and try their hands at lawn bowling. Indeed, bowling of one sort or another is on their agenda this summer. A little later in the summer, the youngsters will be going to the bowling alley in Carleton Place to try out that other kind of bowling, the indoor kind on a wooden lane – something a little different from lawn bowling which happens outside, on golf-green type grass and using balls which not only roll but also curve thanks to their non-circular shape. This is the first time that the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club has welcomed a child care program to its facility but the lawn bowlers are only too happy to introduce their sport to anyone, young or not so young, who wants to try it out. And so it was on Thursday, Aug. 5 as the Baywood School Age Program youngsters, in groups of five or so, received instruction from a Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club member – how to hold the ball, how to deliver it by releasing it smoothly, not bouncing it and how the game is played. Among the instructors was the ageless Wally Curtis who still enjoys his lawn bowling. He recently retired as the reader at the weekly children’s storytime at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library but he brought his same good humour and easy rapport with children to his role as a lawn bowling instructor for these Baywood School Age Program youngsters. The Club members set up the game so that the youngsters played on only half the green, making it a little easier for them to reach the target area with their throws and to enjoy a little bit of success in so doing. The fact that the day featured a sunny, blue sky helped make the outing even more special for the youngsters. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club continues to have an active and enthusiastic membership. Right now the Club is now trying to arrange funds for the construction of a new clubhouse-type building at their lawn bowling facility which is adjacent to the former Goulbourn municipal building at Stanley’s Corners. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club welcomes anyone who would like to try out the sport of lawn bowling, at any age. Lawn bowling provides not only good exercise but also is a game which encourages fellowship, comraderie and good sportsmanship. Anyone who would like more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club or would like to arrange for their own personal introduction to the sport, much like each of the Baywood School Age Program youngsters received, should contact Club president George Burns-Nichol at 613-831-0939.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Mrs. Doreen McCaffrey of Stittsville passed away at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Tuesday, Aug. 3. She was 80. She was predeceased by her husband, the late Ray McCaffrey who was a Stittsville businessman, operating an automobile deal-

Former Ag Rep Don Black dies SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The person who brought lawn bowling to Goulbourn has died. Don Black, who led the community effort to establish lawn bowling in Goulbourn, died in hospital on Wednesday, Aug. 4. He was 86. Lawn bowling was an unknown sport in Goulbourn when he advocated the idea of its introduction. In the fall of 1995, he circulated a petition regarding the introduction of lawn bowling in the community. A steering committee to establish a lawn bowling club was established and eventually the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club was formed. An initial temporary lawn bowling green was established at Lions Park in Richmond where members of the new Goulbourn Lawn bowling Club could learn the game. The first lawn bowling at this new temporary lawn bowling green took place on Saturday, August 10, 1996. The Goulbourn Lawn
Bowling Club started with over 60 members. Mr. Black was one of eight people on the inaugural Board of Directors. A permanent facility then was constructed beside the Goulbourn municipal building at Stanley’s Corners. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club remains an active organization to this day, with its lawn bowling green in much use for regular Club play as well as some tournament play. Mr. Black farmed on the Huntley Road at Mansfield Road, halfway between Stittsville and Richmond. Farming was in his blood as he worked as a provincial Agriculture Representative first in Wellington County and then in Carleton County. He retired as Ag Rep for Carleton County in 1983. In this role, he served on the executive of numerous agricultural associations including the Central Canada Exhibition Association, the Ottawa Winter Fair, the
Ottawa Valley Seed Growers and Farm Show, the Carleton County Plowmen’s Association and the Eastern Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. In his youth, he was a competitive softball pitcher and a hockey goalie, playing at the Intermediate “A” level and in 1949 backstopping the Ontario Agriculture College team at Guelph where he was a student. Mr. Black is survived by his wife Madeline, to whom he had been married for almost 70 years; four children, Catherine (Gerry), Stephen (Bella), Elizabeth (Ewen) and Richard (Linda); and 17 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. He will be buried at Tara, Ontario, near Owen Sound, at a later date. In memoriam donations to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of choice would be appreciated by the family.
A memorial service was held at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Friday, Aug. 6 at 1 p.m., with Rev. Jane McCaig officiating. In memoriam donations to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario would be appreciated by the family.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa Hydro Ottawa has completed the Environmental Study Report (ESR) pertaining to Hydro Ottawa’s Class Environmental Assessment for the proposed construction and operation of a new municipal transformer station in Ottawa West. This station is needed to address growing electricity demand. Environmental, technical and economic criteria were applied to four potential station sites in the study area. Site 4, located at 300/330 Michael Cowpland Drive, was selected as the preferred site, as it has the most advantages and least disadvantages. The station will consist of two transformers and associated equipment to step down electricity from the adjacent 230 kV transmission lines to 27.6 kV so that it can be distributed to homes and businesses. The new facilities are expected to be in service in the fall of 2012. The proposed station elements include two power transformers, a building to house high voltage switchgear and outdoor switchyard structures. In accordance with the Class EA for Minor Transmission Facilities, the Draft Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be available for stakeholder review and comment for a minimum of 30 days between Monday August 2, 2010 and Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at the following locations: Ottawa Public Library – Hazeldean branch, 50 Castlefrank Road

reportable collisions occurred due to drivers failing to stop for red lights. These collisions resulted in one death and 376 injuries – 18 of them life-threatening. STEP is a monthly initiative operated by the City’s Integrated Road Safety Program (IRSP). Each month since 2004, STEP has been profiling and enforcing two initiatives that target specific traffic safety priorities. These initiatives support larger IRSP public awareness and enforcement campaigns. In 2003, two City departments – Public Works and Ottawa Public Health – and the Ottawa Police Service developed the IRSP to provide a comprehensive approach in promoting road safety. Ottawa residents have identified traffic safety as a top priority. The IRSP is committed to using available resources to make Ottawa roads safer for residents.
Police focus on red light runners this month Ottawa Police will focus on pedestrian safety and red light running as part of the City’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) in August. Between 2005 and 2009, 32 pedestrians were killed on Ottawa roads in traffic collisions and another 1,684 pedestrians were injured (186 of those injuries were serious). Red light running is also a serious issue on Ottawa roadways. In 2009 alone, 774
July sees high volume of distracted drivers The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) focus on distracted driving, speeding, and construction zone safety resulted in 3,252 charges being laid in July - according to the City’s Integrated Road Safety Program (IRSP). Since October 26th, 2009 the use of hand held communication devices, while driving, has been banned in Ontario. Despite a threemonth transitional period, June showed the highest number of violations (377) since
and Hydro Ottawa Limited at 3025 Albion Road North.
enforcement began on February 1st. A total of 1,981 distracted driving offences have been observed by the Ottawa Police Service so far this year. Lower speeds in construction zone reduce the likelihood of a collision and help keep construction workers safe in their work area. To help reinforce this message speeding fines are doubled in posted construction zones, a fact that 36 violators were reminded of in July. An additional 2,764 speeding offences were laid as part of this month’s STEP campaign. Please remember to stay safe while driving and avoid any distractions. Not only are cell phones considered a distraction, but using any other sort of technological device is also considered a distraction. 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.
Helping others to find in-home caregivers not only in the numbers, but in the quality of life. Having Ssenkwali means he can stay at home and be close to his kids and the rest of his family. He can play on his computer and he can go out to eat with friends. All these things didn’t seem possible after the accident six years ago. After his accident, the former engineer spent close to nine months in a rehab facility learning how to work his new wheelchair. Then the home had to be outfitted to his new specifications. The result is an elevator that takes him from the top floor to the basement and voice-activated doors and a phone. He also has a hat with a laser signal so that he can use his computer. “In the first year after the accident, it was all so scary and I didn’t know what to do,” Taylor said. “But I am happy that I was able to stay home.” Taylor admitted that it can be scary having some you don’t know coming into your home, but in time, both parties adapt. Since coming to Canada, Ssenkwali has learned to deal with the cold winters and even gone out to see a hockey game. “I still think it’s too violent,” he
said. While they may have started out as strangers, the bond between Taylor and Ssenkwali is noticeable, as they go over business plans and joke with each other in the basement of Taylor’s Forest Creek Drive home. Their interest in the business doesn’t come from a need to make

money, but rather an interest in helping people to be comfortable at home and stay close to their family. “In Uganda, you help to take of your family when we get older,” Ssenkwali said. “I think they do better surrounded by people they know. Than alone in some place that may not be familiar.”

Stittsville resident Robert Taylor and his caregiver Johnathon Ssenkwali think they have found a solution to help ease the clogged system and free up some beds in long term care facilities. Their solution is for seniors to stay home. Taylor, who has lived in Stittsville since 1989 and who lost feeling from the neck down after a motor vehicle collision six years ago, has been using caregivers from African countries like Uganda for about three years now. He said it allows him to keep his independence and maintain a level of quality of life. His latest caregiver, Ssenkwali helped him come up with the idea of helping people to find caregivers from a pool of his contacts back home in Uganda. “When I went home on my vacation I collected some CVs,” Ssenkwali said. “There are a lot of people who would be interested in this kind of work.” For a nominal fee, Taylor and Ssenkwali will link people in need and help them go through the process of getting their caregiver to them. “First you have to do a labour market study to show there isn’t anyone available in Canada to do the work, and then you have to sponsor them to come here and pay for the flight,” Taylor said. Doing the labour market study means posting an ad on a national job bank and waiting for a response. Or none as the case may be. Then once the caregiver is in Canada, they must work for their sponsor for a total of two years before moving onto other employment. Some choose to stay longer. Once the legwork is done, even adding the cost of airfare, the savings can be quite impressive. Paying the caregiver minimum wage and subtracting room and
board will mean about $1,640 per month versus the average of $2,100 per month at long-term care facilities. That’s a savings of $5,520 per year. The cost gap is even bigger when you consider the prices at some of the privately-owned retirement home residences where the fees aren’t regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care. A Nepean retirement home, Crystal View Lodge owned by a chain called Holiday Retirement shows an average monthly cost of $3,250 for their Canadian facilities. That would be $19,000 more per year than the cost of a caregiver. Taylor is not the only one looking at options to keep people out of homes; the Champlain Local Health Integration Network — a body that works with service providers in eastern Ontario — has been looking at aging at home options for awhile to reduce wait times for facilities and to free up hospital beds. Kevin Babulic, director of client services with the LHIN said that support services and partnerships with service providers could help find solutions to keep elderly people out of long-term care homes. “Our average is each patient spends three years in a bed,” he said. “That is higher than some other regions, meaning that people are going into homes when maybe they don’t need to. Another problem that is facing the LHIN is hospital beds being clogged up by people waiting for alternative levels of care or ALCs. These people no longer require acute care, but are waiting in hospitals until they can be placed in a facility. The Queensway Carleton Hospital had to cancel a number of elective surgeries last winter because 33 per cent of their emergency room beds were taken up by ALCs. But for Taylor the savings are

AT VILLAGE SQUARE
One band but much music JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF There was only one band on stage but there was the music of numerous ones in the air at Village Square in downtown Stittsville on Thursday evening, Aug. 5. And not just any bands – it was the music of some of the best known performers on record: Blue Rodeo, Credence Clearwater Revival, Steppenwolf, The Eagles, Alabama and Loverboy. And if this were not good enough, Sidewinder, the band performing in the first of a series of three Thursday evening concerts in the park, gave the audience music that everyone knows. There was Vince Gill’s “Don’t Let Our Love Start Slipping Away,”
Rod Stewart’s “Baby It’s Alright Now,” and “Mustang Sally,” the song made so famous by Wilson Pickett. Of course, it was a perfect setting for this concert in the park, sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with the city of Ottawa. Sunshine streaming from the west, bathing the park in its rays, with blue sky and white clouds overhead and a breeze blowing. The crowd of 150 or so spread out in their lawn chairs and on blankets, with the five member Sidewinder band performing on the trailer-truck like stage set up at the east edge of the park.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association is offering a power skating and stick handling program this coming season.

During the hour and a half performance, in which the songs just kept coming, cyclists travelling along the Trans Canada Trail, which passes through the park, halted on their bikes to listen for a while before moving on. Throughout the performance, some of the youngsters there kept active, playing on the Village Square water tower slide or on the play train that is forever chugging in the park. It was a mixed audience, some with small children, some with friends, some even with their dogs. But while the idyllic summertime setting added to the pleasure and enjoyment of the concert, it was the music that really made the concert memorable. There was no problem hearing it as the sound system delivered it not only to those in Village Square but also beyond. But what music! Credence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 hit “Bad Moon Rising” was great. But then so was Sidewinder’s version of Steppenwolf’s 1968 biker anthem “Born To Be Wild.” And, then, as the sloping sun started disappearing on the horizon, Sidewinder launched into that soft country rock ballad made famous by The Eagles, “Peaceful Easy Feeling.” No doubt everyone there was experiencing that right at that moment. Sidewinder then morphed into Alabama, that popular country band, singing “O Play Me Some Mountain Music” which got the audience going, following it up with “Mus-
tang Sally”, a song always associated with 15 Wilson Pickett. “Working For The Weekend,” that 1981 song from the second album by the Canadian rock band Loverboy that is now a rock classic, was another offering that brought back memories to some and just musical jubilation to others. All in all, Sidewinder lived up to its billing as being a band “equipped with cover tunes from the 60’s through today. Songs you can’t help but sing along with.” That’s what happened and even Bluesfest couldn’t have offered anything more enjoyable. And it all happened right in the heart of Stittsville. The concert, which began at 7 p.m., was preceded by a cash BBQ at 6 p.m. which raised funds to support local youth initiatives. While the concert itself was free, donations were collected for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. This was only the first of three such Thursday evening concerts in the park at Village Square in Stittsville. The Mick Armitage Band, which plays a range of music from top rock ‘n roll classic and rhythm and blues to country, will be performing at Village Square this Thursday, Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. The group Silver Creek will be taking to the stage at Village Square on Thursday, Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. to deliver their music based in rock ‘n roll. This group has opened at Bluesfest for Blue Rodeo and has two new releases in their own right. They will be well worth hearing. Stittsville News - AUGUST 12, 2010

Winning in tournament play is tough enough. To win playing against older players is a real accomplishment. But to win while playing soccer on a full field for the first time ever, now that’s priceless. This is what the West Ottawa Girls U11 Premier A soccer team did in tackling, passing, kicking and scoring their way to the tournament championship and the gold medals in the Girls U12 division of the recent Mississippi Invitational Soccer Tournament in Carleton Place. Despite playing against older girls and on a full field for the first time ever, the team also allowed no goals in regulation time during the entire tournament. Quite a record for any team; an amazing record for a team playing up one age category. The West Ottawa team entered its first game on Saturday morning, July 17 with the players experiencing more than a few butterflies in their stomachs.

Back to School Get Organized for School Success (MC) - Students’ success in school is based on a number of factors. One of which is how organized they are with assignments, including homework. A little time spent getting organized can go a long way toward improving grades and performance at school. Use color. Color-coordinate binders, notebooks, folders, and textbooks so that you can easily grab the items you need for specific classes. Purchase a three-hole punch. Punch holes into hand-outs from teachers and file accordingly in your three-ring binder. Create to-do lists. Use an assignment pad, day planner or simply a piece of paper to keep track of assignments and things that are complete. Use one side of a folder for items that aren’t yet completed and the other for completed work. Take notes. Pay attention in class and take dated notes. This way you know what date range to study for a specific test. Prioritize tasks. Complete the shortnotice tasks first while continuing to complete parts of long-term tasks. Also, work on homework assignments that are a struggle to you first so that you can breeze Paying attention in class, rather than passing notes or daydreaming, through easier assignments at the end of a is a way to achieve school success along with organization. homework session.
Leave enough time. Rushing around in the morning to catch a ride or school bus to school may cause you to forget important items at home. Leaving yourself enough time to get ready to head out to school is a major organizational step. Keep on top of clutter. Go through compiled papers weekly to see what you can toss. Save only necessary items for studying. Get enough rest. A well-rested body and mind is much better equipped to handle the daily stresses of school life. Trying to be organized while scatterbrained is no way to start out.

Wishing you a successful school year! How to Choose a Sweet Spot for Studying (MC) - As school gets back into full swing, schoolaged kids across the country are once again spending their afternoons doing homework instead of lounging around the house as if it were still summer vacation. While home might be the ideal spot to spend lazy summer afternoons, it’s often not ideal for doing homework or working on other school projects. However, finding a study spot does not have to involve packing the kids into the car and heading to the nearby public library. In fact, parents can create the ideal study spot right at home. * Make the room available at all times. First and foremost, a study spot needs to be available to kids every day. If Mom or Dad has a home office and travel two or three days a week, that’s still not an ideal spot for studying, as Mom and Dad will be working in the home office themselves whenever they’re not out on the road. When choosing a study spot, be sure to look for a place in the home that’s available to kids at all times, not just certain days of the week.
* Don’t make things too comfortable. While an uncomfortable chair can make it difficult to concentrate on studies, it can also be hard to focus when the environment is overly comfortable and accommodating. If kids like to study in their bedrooms, be sure to have desks in there. If there’s nothing but a bed and a beanbag chair, kids are almost certain to spend more time napping than they are studying. * Keep things on the bright side. Poorly lit rooms tend to make kids drowsy, which can make it more difficult to study and absorb information. When finding a study
KC
* Check the room’s temperature. A study spot in the home should not be too cold or too hot. As any homeowner knows, some rooms in the home are colder than others, while some rooms feel like a sauna. When looking for a study spot, look for a room that is not extreme in either direction. One that provides a steady, comfortable temperature (room temperature, for instance) is better than a room that might get too cold in winter or prove too hot in early autumn. Either of these scenarios would force kids to switch study spots during the school year, which could prove detrimental to study habits.

* Look for a distraction-free zone. Today’s kids have more to distract them than ever before. Computers, video games, television, and even cellular phones can all keep kids from making the most of their study time. Look for a spot in the home that’s devoid of distraction. It should be a place where the television cannot be heard and kids won’t have access to phones, video games or other items that might make it hard to concentrate on schoolwork.
spot, if it’s not possible to find a room that’s naturally bright with sunlight, make sure the room is well lit with lamps or an overhead light fixture.
Finding a consistent study spot at home that allows kids to concentrate while working on schoolwork can help them excel in the classroom.

Immanuel House, which will be the hub of the Hyde Park c o m m u n i t y, is slated for completion in December, 2011.
RICHMOND
Here comes Immanuel House for use by the wider community as well. While located on the lower level of Immanuel House, the pool will be able to be viewed from the coffee bar located on the ground floor of the facility. The theatre or auditorium, with a 280 seat capacity, will be available for group meetings and parties as well as dances, plays, films and lectures. It will be available for rent to those in the wider Richmond community as well. The dining room on the ground floor will seat 120 diners where residents of the Immanuel House retirement suits will be able to enjoy their meals. Residents of the existing Hyde Park bungalows and of the new 35-unit apartment building being built in conjunction with Immanuel House will also be able to arrange for meals at this dining room based on their needs. This glimpse of what Immanuel House will be providing was given to a dozen people who attended an information session about the soon-to-be-built second phase of the Hyde Park community at the St. John The Baptist Anglican Church hall in Richmond on Thursday evening, July 29. The new 35-unit, three storey apartment building linked with Immanuel House should be ready for occupancy by the end of September, 2011 while Immanuel House itself is expected to be completed by the end of December, 2011. A groundbreaking ceremony for these two new fa-
cilities was held at the end of June and once all of the paperwork with the city of Ottawa is finalized, construction will be beginning. It is expected that this should happen at the beginning of September. A third phase of Hyde Park will see the construction of two more apartment buildKANATA MEDICAL ARTS BUILDING, 105-99 Kakulu Rd., Kanata, ON K2L 3C8 ings, also linked to Immanuel House.

These units will also be wheelchair accessible. While the existing bungalows and the apartments will feature independent living, albeit with meal, housekeeping or laundry services available as needed, the retirement suites in Immanuel House itself will be geared to retirement living, with meals and laundry services provided. The retirement suites will be basically one bedroom apartments with a kitchenette. Everyone will have access to all of the amenities at Immanuel House.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Immanuel House, the new hub of the Hyde Park community in Richmond which is slated to open at the end of December, 2011, will have a host of facilities for use both by Hyde Park residents as well as the wider Richmond community. Besides 105 retirement suites located on a total of five floors, Immanuel House will have two floors of facilities including a swimming pool (perhaps with salt water), a 120-seat dining room, a 280-seat theatre auditorium, a coffee bar, a complete medical health clinic, a hair salon, a full exercise facility, a chapel, meeting rooms, workshop areas, an arts and crafts room, a games room, an independentlyrun day care and an adult respite care area. Originally the medical health clinic was going to include simply a nurse on duty but the thinking now is that this will be a full medical facility with doctors and a number of specialty services for blood work, foot care, physiotherapy and other medical needs. This medical clinic will be available not only to residents of the Hyde Park community but also to those in the wider Richmond community, albeit on a fee basis for non-Hyde Park residents. The indoor pool will be a leisure-type facility, mainly for the use of Hyde Park residents but probably with some times

Not only were they going up against a tough West Ottawa U12 team but they had had only one practice session on a full field going into the tournament. But these butterflies quickly disappeared once the game began and the girls successfully translated their mini-field skills to the larger playing surface. The game ended scoreless in regulation time with the team losing in the ensuing shoot out. This initial performance, though, gave the girls a new found confidence and ensuing games against both Lanark United and Cumberland ended in 3-0 wins for the West Ottawa Girls U11 Premier A team. On Sunday, July 18, the girls continued their winning ways, defeating the Ottawa Royals 2-0 in semi-final action. The championship game saw the girls face Smith Falls. It ended in a 3-0 victory for West Ottawa as the girls brought home the gold medals. “The girls played full field for the first time and played excellent procession games using the full width of the field,” coach Peter Derham said about his team’s performance in the tournament. He noted how the girls were repeatedly praised by the tournament’s referees for how they played the game. “The girls have been trained in passing patterns for several years and this resulted in some excellent soccer against older opposition,” coach Derham said. The West Ottawa Girls U11 Premier A team has been formed due to the amalgamation of the local competitive soccer programs of the Goulbourn, Kanata, West Carleton and Almonte Soccer Clubs.

The idea is that those moving to Hyde Park will have a variety of housing types so that they will be able to “age in place” at Hyde Park without having to move elsewhere. The bungalows offer the most independent and active lifestyle while the apartments allow for some assisted living if required. The retirement suites, offering meals, laundry service and housekeeping, are for seniors who require even more help, although not to the degree found in a long term care facility. These retirement suites are currently being sold, with 76 of the 105 suites already sold. Many of them are being purchased an investment which is paying interest of 12 percent a year, paid monthly. These suites will be rented out if not being used by their purchasers. It is expected that 85 percent of the retirement suites will be rented to seniors at rates below what would be expected because of the notfor-profit status of the Immanuel House facility. For more information about the investment opportunities available, those interested should contact Ken Lantier, Hyde Park’s sales manager for income properties, at 613-686-1222 or via email at lantier.ken@hydeparkrichmond. com. Based on sales to date, it is expected that one third of those residing in Hyde Park when completed will be from the Richmond area. Another one-third will be from the wider Ottawa area while the other one-third will be from outside the Ottawa area. Courtyard Developments Inc., the developer of Hyde Park, hopes to build more Hyde Park-type communities elsewhere in the Ottawa area and indeed across Canada. Steve Hyde, president of Courtyard Developments Inc., is the visionary behind Hyde Park. It all began when he and his wife Jan were looking for appropriately designed housing to suit the needs of parents and they could not find anything in the market. So, he designed and now has built a community designed for the living needs of parents and seniors. For Mr. Hyde, it is all based on Biblical and Christian principles which is why the central hub of the community, Immanuel House, was named as it is, meaning “God is with us.” He and his staff are all directed by a Biblical reading from the gospel of St. John in which Christ assigns the beloved disciple John to look after His mother, Mary. For Mr. Hyde and his staff, their new community is meant as a continuation of this, fulfilling a Christian requirement to look after today’s parents who need affordable housing geared to their requirements.
