Five storey saga keeps growing

Scarecrows at Villagefest

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF

The story of Stittsville’s proposed five storey building continues.

At its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 24, Ottawa city council’s planning and environment committee approved a rezoning that would allow the 15 metre high, five storey building on a site on the east side of Stittsville Main Street immediately south of the Stittsville Legion Hall. However, when the matter went before Ottawa city council the next day, a motion was carried that referred the matter back to city staff for further discussions with the proponent and the community.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who along with the Stittsville Village Association, opposes the five storey height allowed by the proposed rezoning, said that he wants staff to talk with the proponent, Dharma Developments, to come up with a compromise or to explain to city council why the existing zoning on the site, passed in 2008, approves an 11 metre height limit for Stittsville Main Street and yet planning staff has seen fit to recommend a 15 metre height limit for the first development proposal to come along since the passing of the 2008 zoning bylaw. Councillor Qadri does not have JOHN CURRY PHOTO any problem with the 24 residential units which are proposed for the site behind the City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri holds two scarecrows as he and these scarecrow friends get ready for Stittsville’s annual Villagefest celebrations which will be held at Village Square at proposed five storey building.

Villagefest 2010 is fast approaching.

This annual celebration of the coming of fall will be held on Saturday, Sept. 11 this year at Village Square at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in downtown Stittsville. This is earlier than has been the case, as traditionally Villagefest has been held in late September or early October.

However, the Stittsville Village Association, which sponsors the event, felt that an earlier date would ensure better weather. In addition, the earlier date is more desirable for the sanctioned soap box derby which is held on Abbott Street in conjunction with Villagefest.

Another change this year, besides the earlier date, is the cancellation of the parade which has been held in conjunction with Villagefest. Low turnout for recent parades plus the growing cost of hiring marching bands for participation in the parade were factors in this decision.

But even without the parade, Villagefest 2010 still has much to offer.

There’s going to be plenty of entertainment, with a “Stittsville Has Talent” contest involving local youth on the agenda. There will be games and activities for the youth. This year there will be two walking tours given of the historic downtown core area of Stittsville.

This year’s Villagefest has a theme, namely the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in downtown Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 11. scarecrows.

Recently on Moore Street in Richmond, two large brown plastic wicker chairs with tan sofa cushions were stolen from a front porch sometime overnight. An iPod stereo, which was on the porch, was not touched.

Another recent theft involved three youths stealing a set of golf clubs from the garage of a home on Chanonhouse Drive in the early morning hours.

Value of the stolen golf clubs is about $1400.

Youth programming should be election topic We are going to hear a lot in the upcoming municipal election campaign about public transit and a downtown tunnel, taxes, Lansdowne Park redevelopment, improving the Ottawa River, the size of Ottawa city council and intensification.

These are all significant issues and deserve discussion in the campaign, especially by the mayoralty candidates.

But hopefully these are not the only issues that are going to be discussed.

One of the topics which should merit discussion in this election campaign is youth programming in the city.

While the city strongly supports youth recreation programs, which indeed it should, there is far less city support for youth programming that is non-sports related.

Here in Stittsville there is the example of the Youth Con-

FINDING

nexion program which tries to develop leadership skills in youth while also trying to connect them with their community. It is showing some success but the program is not seeing the municipal dollars that it should. Everything done has to be on a cost recovery basis because there are no budget dollars to help operate the program.

We can understand the reluctance of the city to fund such a youth program. After all, there have been many youth programming initiatives over the years with little or varied success. Youth programming has gone up and down in municipal services more than the very best yoyo.

This is why it needs to be a discussion point for municipal candidates. We need to know just how candidates view what should be an essential component of programming in the

city. The youth are the future; they have to learn about the importance of community and how people must contribute to community for it to be strong and vibrant.

The Youth Connexion program tries to do this.

Look upon it as an investment in the future. Youth of today learning the value of community and becoming involved with their community will mean outstanding citizens tomorrow. The city will be stronger in the future if today we have appropriate youth programming in place.

But it will not get there unless our municipal leaders see it as a priority and commit to supporting youth programming to the fullest extent possible.

That is why youth programming should be a topic on the election trail for all candidates.

THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

Flyerland gives residents access to the best deals SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The web will be bringing readers the best deals locally now that Flyerland has moved ads from the region’s Metroland papers online. This includes ads in the Stittsville News.

Debbie Frye, general manager at Flyerland. ca, said that since Flyerland rolled out its system to put ads from Metroland community papers in Ottawa last month, residents have gone to more than 550,000 pages.

“We are keeping an eye out for August but we are expecting those numbers to grow exponentially,” she said. “What it means for the reader is that they will have electronic access to all the ads they are seeing in their local Metroland newspaper. And can now compare prices at more than one retailer locally.”

Readers can search for ads by geographic location and get the same deals with coupons that they print out at their home desktop — rather than clipping out the coupons from the paper.

Frye said 15 minutes of surfing can save readers $50, by allowing them to do a little comparison shopping.

“You can end up spending more money even going to the discount stores if you don’t come prepared and end up overwhelmed,” Frye said. “Everyone should go shopping with a list.”

“We are extremely proud to be providing this value added service to all of our advertisers and readers. Flyerland has seen rapid

growth since its launch primarily because users truly enjoy the convenience and terrific savings. Publishing all of the ads from our newspapers will only enrich the local shopping experience for our audience,” said Chris McWebb, publisher of Metroland Media – Ottawa Region.

“Flyerland is not only a tremendous shopping tool – but also a friend to the environment, which is a very positive combination,” he said.

Flyerland was rolled out about two-and-ahalf years ago and is one of the most popular Canadian websites, with more than a million unique users monthly. If a reader logs on he or she have access to numerous flyers and countless coupons to take to local merchants.

There are about 400,000 products available on the site from 100 Canadian retailers.

“We have about 80 per cent of national advertisers on the site,” Frye said. “So you can print out a coupon from Payless today and put it with your list and go to the store.”

Frye said research from the National Retail Federation shows the average Canadian spends $620 on back-to-school supplies, that’s why they timed Ottawa newspaper ads for the fall.

“It was really about simplifying the process of getting the local ads online,” she said.

“And now that people have access to those ads and can comparison shop, we are hoping to help them save of those expenses.”

IN RICHMOND

INAUGURAL

GOLF TOURNAMENT

Men’s Recreational Hockey League ‘Fights Cancer’ DAVE RADBOURNE SPECIAL TO THE NEWS What started out as a small charity event to raise funds for three individuals and their families who have been stricken with cancer turned into an amazingly successful show of support from all over the area.

These families, associated with the Goulbourn Men’s Recreational Hockey League, were the beneficiaries of this spirited effort.

Starting roughly a month prior to July 24, five members from the league began organizing the event.

They hoped to attract perhaps 18 foursomes for a shotgun start, best ball “Fights Cancer” golf tournament, followed by a steak dinner with prizes and awards at Royal’s Restaurant in Richmond.

Little did they know that their organization skills would create some unexpected chaos as interest in the event far exceeded their expectations. By Sunday, July 18, a total of 29 foursomes had signed up, with 130 golfers and guests booked for the dinner.

This caused a state of panic for Nick Mamalis of Royal’s Restaurant over how he was going to accommodate so many people at his restaurant. As luck would have it, a chance meeting with a member of the Twin Elm Rugby Club solved this problem as the Rugby Club offered its banquet hall and facilities for use that evening.

Saturday, July 24 was hot, humid and overcast as the golfers began arriving at the Riverbend Golf and Country Club west of Richmond to register and be directed to their carts and tee off directions. By 1:30 p.m., they were off to the rac-

es with many challenges for them on the course including a putting contest, longest drive and closest to the pin contests for both men and ladies, a beat the “pro” contest and using a child’s driver off the tee on hole number 10.

The big surprise of the day for the golfers came on hole number 8 as a baby blue, five speed Ford Mustang was the prize that awaited any golfer who could knock in a hole in one. There to scrutinize (or perhaps distract) the golfers were the “Royal Oak Girls”, namely Terra and Lindsay. No golfer won the car and only a few shots even hit the green but most players left the hole with a smile on their face.

By 6:30 p.m. the gang of golfers had returned to the clubhouse and shortly afterwards proceeded to the Twin Elm Rugby Club near Richmond for dinner.

Meanwhile, Nick Mamalis and Colin Goodfellow had made a quick change from their golfing duds to their master chef outfits and along with Derrick Fisher and the staff from Royal’s Restaurant began preparing a full course steak dinner that received rave reviews from all who attended.

After dinner, a live auction took place for a trip to Pittsburgh including accommodations for two nights, tickets to a Penguins game at the new arena there and a grand tour of this new facility. The bidding was hotly contested but eventually Joe Whatley and Brad Durie outbid all others, grabbing the prize for $700.

There were ticket draws, door prizes and 50-50 draws, all raising more funds. Some of these prizes included Ottawa Senators tickets, a weekend cottage retreat

near Portland on the Rideau, golf passes, restaurant gift certificates, a GM Camaro jacket, t-shirt, hat and three oil changes, golf shirts, t-shirts, hats, a Ballistic hockey stick, a FoozeBall table, Ottawa 67’s tickets, various gift certificates and services from various businesses.

Five companies sponsored holes, namely Capital Site Development,

IB Developments, Goldie Mohr Ltd., Drummond’s Construction and Moham Electric. There were also numerous monetary donations.

The three guests of honour, Jolene Pittman, John Bower and Dan Bujold, were all able to take part in the golfing and dinner, making the day and evening a complete success. They were sup-

ported by numerous family members and friends from all over the area, making the whole event more like an extremely large family gettogether.

Most people left that evening with some sort of gift or prize but everyone definitely left with a sense of pride and joy for helping make the event such a great success.

Recreational activities near hydro stations and dams are dangerous

Not Quite The Right Fit?

For your own safety obey all warnings at hydroelectric stations, dams and their surrounding shorelines and waterways. These facilities operate year-round, affecting water flows. Water that looks safe can become treacherous in minutes and ice forming near, or even several kilometres away, can become dangerous.

Signs, fences, buoys and safety booms are there to warn you, but if you see water levels changing, move a safe distance away immediately. Be advised that people trespassing on OPG property may face charges, with fines of up to $2,000.

We can help with that.

DAVE RADBOURNE SPECIAL TO THE NEWS On Friday, Aug. 13, a private dinner party was hosted and catered by Nick Mamalis and Derrick Fisher at Royal’s Restaurant in Richmond. The families of Jolene and Jodi Pittman, John and Jodie Bower and Dan and Jennifer Bujold were the guests of honour at what was yet another superb steak dinner.

Following the dinner, the organizers of the recent Goulbourn Men’s Recreational Hockey League’s first annual “Fights Cancer” golf tournament presented the three families with a larger than life cheque for $6,000, the proceeds raised on their behalf in the tournament. Hopefully this will help ease some of the burden that these families have incurred and are continuing to endure during their courageous battle with cancer.

These families have the utmost respect of all those who participated or who were involved in any way with the tournament, specifically for the determination and courage which they have shown during some extremely difficult times.

It’s called “Youth Connexion” and it does just what the name suggests – it connects youth to their community by encouraging youth people between the ages of 12 and 18 to plan and undertake community service and other projects. This develops leadership skills while also providing recreational and social opportunities for youth.

Stittsville has a “Youth Connexion” program thanks to the city of Ottawa, with Lisa White as the director.

This past year has seen a myriad of events take place, all planned and carried out by youth for youth. Some activity is related to participating in wider community events such as the recent “Art and Authors in the Park” event in which Youth Connexion partnered with the Stittsville Village Association, sponsors of the event.

Planning their own activities and taking part in other community events helps youth to develop leadership skills, gain experience, have fun and meet new people and become more involved with the community.

“They kind of develop a sense of ownership in their community by doing this,” Youth Connexion director Lisa White told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 24.

She told the Rotary Club members about the numerous successful events which Youth Connexion had planned and held recently.

These include a Teen Night Club evening (“Like a dance but something a little different,” Ms. White said in explaining this event); a Dinner and Movie Night with youth enjoying eating at Boston Pizza; youth activities such as board games at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville every Friday night during the summer; a Spa night with 43 girls attending, experiencing manicures, pedicures and jewellery demonstrations; an outing to the new Calypso Water Park which drew so much interest that the number going had to be capped at 90; a fundraising fashion

show, raising funds for the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa; Tuesday Movie Nights at Village Square in August; a Laughing Yoga night; and a Skate Jam at the skateboard park at the GRC, with three bands playing and lots of skateboarding despite a downpour.

All of these activities have been undertaken on a cost recovery basis since the Youth Connexion program as such receives no budget funding from the city of Ottawa.

“I really feel that this has been a year of growth in the program,” Ms. White told the Rotary Club members. And she hopes to see even more advances in the future.

“We’re excited for the next year,” she said.

This fall Ms. White is hoping to get permission to make presentations about the Youth Connexion program at both Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville and South Carleton High School in Richmond. There will also be youth involved in the Villagefest activities which come up at Village Square in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 11.

Her chief hope, though, is for establishment of a youth drop in centre in Stittsville in the future. It is a constant topic of conversation among those involved with Youth Connexion. Such a youth drop in centre is seen as a spot for youth to go where they can feel comfortable.

Ms. White hopes that next summer’s Youth Connexion program in Stittsville will offer a drop in centre type program on Friday nights at the Goulbourn Recreation Program where youth can go to play games and be with other youth.

She said that surveys have shown that youth in Stittsville wants activities for youth but want them delivered in a free and flexible way, such as would happen at a youth drop in centre.

Ms. White notes that one of the biggest challenges with youth programming is getting the youth excited about the program offerings. Youth tend to want to just hang out with friends rather than take part in planned activities.

Point that lens at heritage JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Capture a little bit of Goulbourn heritage in your camera lens and you could not only win some money but could receive recognition for your photographic efforts. This is all thanks to a new heritage photo contest which the Goulbourn Historical Society has organized.

The contest runs until Saturday, Oct. 16 which will be the deadline for dropping off photo submissions for the contest at any of Goulbourn’s three Ottawa Public Library branches in Stittsville,

Richmond and Munster.

The contest is aimed at stimulating interest in the history and heritage of Goulbourn township while also helping to visually document this history and heritage.

There are six categories in the contest: historic Goulbourn buildings; “good fences make good neighbours”; old roads and trails; “then and now”; cemetery or headstone scenes; and antiques from attics or sheds.

The best entry in each category will receive a $25 prize while the photo judged best overall in the contest will receive a $100 prize.

An entrant can submit up to two entries per category, in either colour or black and white.

Photographs must be no larger than eight inches by 12 inches.

They must not be mounted or framed and must not have been previously published or publicly displayed.

There are no entry forms but those entering must affix their names, addresses and phone numbers securely to the back of each submitted print, clearly indicating the category being entered.

Additional points in the judging can be earned by the inclusion of

concise, accurate historical identification of the photo subjects, with attention to such essentials as dates, locations, family names associated with old buildings and structures and other features useful in situating the photo subjects in their heritage contexts.

The winners will be announced at a public event in early November.

By holding this heritage photo contest, the Goulbourn Historical Society hopes that the rich social history and heritage of Goulbourn will be more fully documented and illustrated via photography.

The Goulbourn Historical Society is a voluntary organization with membership open to anyone interested in local history. Origi-

nally laid out and surveyed in the early 1800’s, Goulbourn township disappeared as a separate municipal entity with the creation of the present city of Ottawa in the year 2000. Goulbourn township was first settled by disbanded British soldiers who had fought in the War of 1812.

Goulbourn township includes present day Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Dwyer Hill, Ashton. Historically Goulbourn township also included the area now covered by the Glen Cairn area of the city of Kanata.

For more information about this new heritage photo contest, please contact Lee Boltwood of the Goulbourn Historical Society at 613836-1491.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa Residents, I have received an update from Hydro Ottawa about the latest power outage that occurred on August 17.

At approximately 3:30 pm, Hydro Ottawa identified that an overhead switch ((the RX2010, located outside of Alexander Distribution Station on the Alex F3 circuit) that feeds part of Stittsville had opened.

Shortly afterwards, the Fire Department reported of a pole fire in the Johnwoods/ Mika area. By 5 p.m. Hydro Ottawa field staff determined that there was a broken connection on an overhead switch on John Woods that had resulted in a phase-tophase fault causing both the fire and the operation of the initial switch. Field staff completed repairs and the switched was closed.

Hydro System Control later received reports of outages at the Fernbank end of Stittsville or customers served by another switch (RX2013) This is an older switch, and is not remotely monitored and controlled from system office. Staff determined that another switch was open and they were also looking for other problems. The crews found no problems on the line and attempted to close the switch at 7:30 pm. The switch re-opened, so the crew attempted to close again, but again the switch re-opened. There was a large volume of customers with air conditioners all at once on a hot day. Restoration therefore had to be done in segments, part at a time over the next ninety minutes.

To improve reliability in Stittsville, Hydro Ottawa have several projects now underway, including: • New remotely monitored and controlled switches have been installed on the two circuits out of the Alexander Distribution Station, which supplies power to many homes in Stittsville. This will help isolate problems at the Alexander Station, without requiring Hydro One involvement. In addition to better overall service, this will enable Hydro Ottawa to restore power more quickly to our Stittsville customers when an outage does occur.

• Hydro Ottawa is replacing much of the old equipment still operating in the

Power outage update Stittsville area including new transformer connections for 23 ground mounted transformers, four new connection boxes (pedestals) and three new ground mounted switches.

• Hydro Ottawa is purchasing land adjacent to the Hydro One transmission corridor near Terry Fox Drive and preparing the engineering needed for the construction of a new transformer station, called the Terry Fox Transformer Station.

• To provide back-up support for this new station and further flexibility and capacity in the Stittsville area over the short-term, there is a plan to connect two new feeders to the existing circuits from the Janet King station on Hazeldean Road this year. These new feeders will share the load with the Alexander circuits which supplies much of Stittsville. They will also provide backup supply to the Alexander Distribution Station and the Bridlewood Municipal Station, which also supplies power to a portion of Stittsville.

Over the next two years, several projects are planned to further improve service to customers in Stittsville such as: • The new Terry Fox Transformer Station will be scheduled to be in service in 2013 and will provide immediate support for south Kanata and Stittsville and the longterm capacity required to meet the high growth anticipated for these areas.

• Hydro Ottawa will continue to replace transformer connections throughout Stittsville and will install another remotely operated switch to provide further back up to the Stittsville area. This will allow Hydro Ottawa’s system operators to remotely transfer loads and restore power faster without having to dispatch crews to the problem area.

• Equipment on the Stittsville main overhead system will also be revitalized beginning in 2011, including the replacement of “fuse” cut-outs with modern equipment that will facilitate faster restoration times in the event of an outage.

I hope this information is useful and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

City seeks feedback on public art for Hazeldean Road extension When construction of the Hazeldean Road extension is complete in the spring of 2011, the main east-west corridor between Carp Road and Terry Fox Drive will be widened from two to four lanes. Included in this project will be an area with public art and the City wants to hear from residents.

The City’s Public Art Program held a design competition for aluminum banners to be installed on the pedestrian light poles that line the street. The call for submissions offered three areas for public art on these light poles, two in Kanata West and one in Stittsville. Of the 17 submissions, nine were selected.

I encourage residents to come and meet the artists, view the proposals, and give comments on Tuesday, September 14 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex located at 1500 Shea Road. Comments will be taken into consideration during the selection committee’s deliberations to select the winning proposals.

For more information, please call 613244-3745 or e-mail publicartprogram@ ottawa.ca.

Public meeting for Monarch/Cardel and Abbott/Fernbank Subdivisions I am encouraging residents to attend an important public meeting detailing plans for the subdivisions of Monarch/Cardel and Abbott/Fernbank on September 9 in Hall B of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex located at 1500 Shea Road.

GOULBOURN LADIES’ SLO-PITCH LEAGUE

What’s in a name? Ask ‘The Littles’ ball team

JOHN BRUMMELL NEWS STAFF “The Littles” are anything but.

The Goulbourn Ladies’ Slo-Pitch League team did not live up to its name by a long shot this season as “The Littles” turned out to be “The Biggies” as the team finished first in the regular season and then emerged as the “A” champions in the playoffs. What a season!

Finishing behind The Littles in the regular season were the Dugout Divas in second place, Latimer’s Dirt Devils in third spot and the Stingrays in fourth.

In the playoffs, The Littles again emerged on top, winning the “A” playoff championship. The Dugout Divas were the “A” runners-up.

Latimer’s Dirt Devils emerged as the “B” playoff champions, with the Stingrays as the

runners-up.

Following the final playoff games, the players enjoyed a windup banquet and awards presentation at Royal’s Restaurant in Richmond. The restaurant opened up especially for the players, an act which was much appreciated. The players also enjoyed the delicious food and the excellent service that prevailed at Royal’s.

Latimer’s Dirt Devils team would like to

thank its sponsor, Ivan Latimer of Latimer Construction, for once again sponsoring the team this season. Ivan not only generously sponsored the team but also providing funding for the players to enjoy themselves at the windup banquet and awards night.

The Littles also had a great sponsor this season and would like to thank sponsor Brent Little Excavating for the support this season.

Full or focused EA?

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The extent of the environmental assessment (EA) required for the proposed expansion of the Carp Road landfill site will be determined by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE).

It will be up to the Ministry to settle what is the most divisive issue related to the Terms of Reference for the EA required for the landfill expansion.

The city of Ottawa has requested that the EA by a full one. Such a full EA would add the obligation to consider issues such as whether the current site is the best location for a landfill in Eastern Ontario, what is the best waste handling technique to yield safe, cost effective waste handling procedures and if modern technology exists that could produce a clean, cost effective alternative for handling waste.

Waste Management, owners of the Carp Road landfill site, has proposed and supports a so-called focused EA which would look at issues involved with expansion of the current site.

These would include odour, ground water, property value protection and traffic.

A key in the decision is if the Waste Management proposal is

though a strong swimmer, she drowned in the waters of Dalhousie Lake, unable to be saved as the watercraft driver could not swim.

Her family has asked that, as one way to remember and honour Kristen, parents should teach their children how to swim.

In memoriam donations to the Children’s Wish Foundation or to a children’s charity of choice in Kristen’s memory would also be appreciated by the family.

Kristen is survived by her parents, her siblings Ashley, Damian, Brett and Zachary, a grandmother Catherine Cross, a grandfather William McKenzie and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS A 20 year old man died in a late night car/pedestrian collision on Brophy Road near Twin Elm Road east of Richmond.

The deadly incident happened about 12:32 a.m. last Saturday, Aug. 28.

Upon arrival at the scene, the Ottawa Police Service was confronted by a group of young people who were at a nearby house party.

The police investigation revealed that the victim and a friend had been at the house party but then were outside waiting for a ride. They observed a pickup heading eastbound on Brophy Road and crossed the road to the south side, believing that the oncoming pickup was their ride.

The pickup truck slowed down but continued eastbound without stopping. As the pickup went by, the two young men realized that it was not their ride and they ran back across the road. However, both of them failed to notice an approaching, westbound Honda. The victim was struck by the Honda in the westbound lane of Brophy Road. The second male was not harmed.

Although passersby tried to assist the 20 year old victim, he died as a result of the injuries sustained in the collision with the Honda. The male driver of the Honda did not sustain any physical injuries and remained at the scene.

Brophy Road between Twin Elm Road and 3rd Line Road was closed down as a result of the fatal collision.

The Ottawa Police Collision Investigation Unit has taken over the investigation related to this collision. No charges have been laid.

The investigators would like to speak with the driver of the eastbound pickup truck that passed the scene just before the fatal collision. Anyone with information should contact Detective Cameron Graham at 613-236-1222, ext. 2477.

Her family and friends, her church and her community. These made up the essential world of Marilyn Davis of Richmond who died peacefully in hospital on Saturday, Aug. 21. She was 69.

And it was this world that Isabel Thompson outlined in her eulogy for her longtime friend at the funeral service which was held at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond on Wednesday, Aug. 25.

The church was packed as was the basement hall where the overflow crowd followed the service thanks to an electronic feed from upstairs.

It was noted that the overflow attendance at the funeral service was in itself a mark of the impact which Marilyn’s life had made on so many.

Marilyn, who was born in Richmond on Jan. 12, 1941, and her husband Doug had five children, all daughters: Debbie, Penny, Patti-Jo, Kerry and Melanie. They also had 12 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Marilyn loved to cook and bake.

Her cookbook was filled with notes about which recipes were good ones.

Sunday evening dinners were special at the Davis household.

Anyone who happened to drop by was always asked to stay and share in this special family time.

Her hospitality was legendary and even St. Paul United Church’s newly arrived minister, Rev. Carla VanDelen, who officiated at the funeral service, experienced it when she visited Marilyn shortly after arriving. Marilyn’s opening welcome was quickly followed by coffee and strawberry shortcake.

Yes, Marilyn was always welcoming.

Marilyn had great patience, whether it was raising her family or carefully cutting material at Davis Upholstery, the business which she and Doug operated from their longtime home and shop on Huntley Road between Richmond and Stittsville. In recent years they had lived at Goodwood Apartments in Richmond.

Marilyn loved garage sales and auctions and also loved shopping at Giant Tiger, not only for bargains but also to purchase little gifts that she could give to her grandchildren when they visited.

St. Paul’s United Church was an important part of Marilyn’s life.

She sang in the church choir for years. Indeed, she loved to sing, going back to her youth when she and her sisters and her brother Harold entertained as a group at various community events.

Her involvement with the United Church Women was recognized a couple of years ago when she was presented with a life membership.

Marilyn was one of the ladies who started to bake pies at the

church as a fundraiser back in 2001, something which continues to this day. Marilyn eventually had to give up her regular involvement due to her health but she still would bake pumpkin pies on occasion, working with her longtime friend Isabel Thompson.

She also of late served on the church’s in memoriam committee which dealt with memorial gifts to the church.

Marilyn was a longtime member of the Ladies Orange Benevolent Association, the ladies arm of the Orange Lodge. She also was a longtime supporter of the Richmond Agricultural Society. She worked in the office at fair time for a number of years and was involved with the Homecraft Division. Three years ago, the Agricultural Society honoured her for her extensive work with the Fair.

What was truly memorable about Marilyn was her sense of humour.

Isabel Thompson, in her eulogy, told of a number of examples of the kind of the pranks which she and Marilyn had pulled off over the years.

There was the time at one of the church’s Raise The Roof fundraising concerts when Marilyn and Isabel ran around squirting water at each other and at others as Gary Thompson tried to sing a song – one with water in the title.

There was the late night outings for the pair as they participated in the Midnight Madness Sales which were at one time an end-of-summer feature at the local grocery store.

And they did not always dress up in their pyjamas. One time Marilyn was the baby and Isabel the mother, as she wheeled her baby around the store.

There was a Halloween where both Marilyn and Isabel dressed up in costume and hid in the bushes, scaring trick ‘n treaters as they made their way to the door.

Marilyn and Isabel were a common site at local baby showers where they would arrive dressed up as doctors and go through the birthing process with the motherto-be.

Yes, Marilyn liked to have fun and that’s just what she did.

She and her husband Doug were also sports fans, not as participants but as sponsors. At the fifth annual induction ceremony of the Goulbourn Sports Wall of Fame in 1998, Marilyn and Doug Davis of Davis Upholstery received the Goulbourn Sports Wall of Fame Committee Award. This award was presented annually by the committee to a person or persons who had made an outstanding contribution to sports in Goulbourn township. Through Davis Upholstery, Marilyn and Doug had sponsored innumerable sports teams in Goulbourn over the years including a team in the South Carleton Oldtimers Hockey League, the Richmond Ravens fastball team,

Multi-purpose BBQ JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It was a multi-purpose BBQ at Scotiabank in Richmond on Friday, Aug. 27. It was raising funds for the Richmond Food Bank. It was an introduction to the branch’s new manager. And it was an introduction as well for Scotiabank’s new “Let the Saving Begin” program.

The BBQ, featuring hot dogs and drinks,

was set up over lunch time at the front of the branch, near the entrance door. There was a small grill on which the hot dogs were barbecued. Doing the greeting and grilling were Scotiabank staff members, who also collected the two dollars being charged for a hot dog and drink, funds earmarked for the Richmond Food Bank.

Among those working the BBQ was Patricia Bert, the branch’s new manager, just in her second week on the job in Richmond.

A 35 year veteran of the bank, she most recently was manager of Scotiabank’s Carlingwood branch.

The BBQ was a way for her to meet and introduce herself to customers informally as they stopped at the BBQ table or as they were heading into or out of the bank.

The BBQ table also had toy piggies, representing piggy banks, lined up around the foot of the table, with the slogan from the bank’s new automatic savings program, “Let the Saving Begin,” collectively emblazoned on them.

But this was only part of the effort to introduce and feature this new program. Inside the branch, not only were the customer service representatives wearing white t-shirts advertising the program but there was lawn furniture set up, with monopoly money ringing the top fringe of the umbrella, all representing a possible vacation destination for those who enroll in the new automatic savings program and manage to reach the annual $1500 in savings.

The branch also had cupcakes and lollipops on hand, promoting the new program.

The “Let the Saving Begin” program is geared to helping customers save automatically. This can be done in several ways: directing a part of every deposited pay cheque into a savings or investment account; saving every time a purchase is made with a debit or credit card by rounding up the purchase price; and saving every time a Scotiabank Momentum Visa card is used.

On top of this, if the $1500 annual goal is achieved, Scotiabank will provide a ten percent bonus to the customer. In other words, it means a ten percent return on the money saved which is a high rate of interest in today’s world.

Ladies have a ‘ball’ in new hockey league JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Is it called “ball hockey” because it is played with a ball instead of a puck or could there be another reason? In the case of the new Richmond Women’s Ball Hockey League, it might just be because the players had a “ball” playing once a week during this past summer.

“We sure had a ton of fun!,” league orga-

nizer Catie Clapp wrote in an email telling about the league’s inaugural season.

Indeed, it was only because of a scarcity of slab time at the Richmond arena that kept the league to four teams this past season.

Hopes are that there will be more slab time available next year so that at least two more teams can be added. Players are still calling or emailing weekly asking about possible participation in the league, so the response

has been amazing.

The playoff finals took place on Friday, Aug. 20 at the Richmond arena. Usually the teams played from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesdays but the finals were held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on a Friday so that family members could attend and cheer on their mothers/spouses. It worked because there were about 100 fans at the two final games.

And what games they were.

In the “A” championship final, Kunstadt Sports defeated The Glass Shop 4-3 in overtime. Ali Speer of the Kunstadt squad went end-to-end to score the winning goal.

In the “B” championship game, things were even closer as Team Talos and the Silhouettes were all tied up after regulation time and also after an overtime period.

was only enough slab time at the Richmond arena for four teams. This was because construction projects at two other city of Ottawa arenas has forced many users to book slab time at the Richmond arena.

Because there were more players than

could be accommodated on four teams, a 19 waiting list was created.

Local businesses were approached for team sponsorship.

This meant an exciting shootout with Cathy Bureau and Sue Byers scoring for Talos in the shootout to gain the “B” championship title.

A windup banquet was held on Saturday, Aug. 21 at the Richmond Legion Hall.

In starting up this new Richmond Women’s Ball Hockey League, Catie Clapp had three goals: to be able to play ball hockey close to home; to offer a recreational sport for women over the age of 25 in the Richmond/Stittsville/Goulbourn area; and to meet as many women in the community as possible.

After the April registration night, there were enough players for five teams but there

Four businesses – Silhouette Hair Studio, Talos Homes, Kunstadt Sports and The Glass Shop – were keen to help out and each provided team jerseys for a team in the new league.

Things got underway on Tuesday, May 4 with a skills and drills night followed by a scrimmage, with league play beginning on Tuesday, May 11. There were 14 Tuesday night league games for each team, followed by the semi-final playoff action. Everything then wrapped up with the championship games on Friday, Aug. 20.

In the regular 14 game season, The Glass Shop finished on top with 22 points, with Kunstadt Sports second with 17 points, Talos third with 10 points and the Silhouettes fourth with 5 points.

Liz Rusch of Kunstadt Sports led the scoring play in the regular season with 26 goals and 6 assists for

32 points. Catie Clapp of The Glass Shop was next with 13 goals and 12 assists for 25 points, followed

by Ali Speer of Kunstadt Sports with 9 goals and 14 assists for 23 points.

These leaders were followed by Elana Graham of The Glass Shop with 15 points, Ulrica McKim of Talos with 13 points and Cathlin Sarafin of The Stittsville Shop with 13 points.

Christine Kay of The Glass shop was the top goalie in the regular season with a 1.79 goals against average. The other goals were Bonnie Morency of the Silhouettes, Kendra Borthwick of Talos and Alison Leslie of Kunstadt Sports.

In the playoffs, Luz Rusch of Kunstadt Sports was once again the top scorer, with two goals and one assist. Catie Clapp of The Glass Shop, Sharlene Demerchant of The Glass Shop and Ali Speer of Kunstadt Sports all had two goals in the playoffs.

Non-checking House B hockey JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF There’s a big change coming in minor hockey in Stittsville this coming season. House B hockey will be non-checking.

The Stittsville Minor Hockey Association membership, at the SMHA’s annual general meeting last April, voted to make House B hockey non-checking and also to offer where possible checking and non-checking options in House A hockey from peewee through to midget levels. This action by the SMHA is in step with similar decisions by most other minor hockey associations in the Ottawa area.

The SMHA would like to place its non-checking teams in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey Asso-

ciation, playing against teams from other area associations. But if there are not enough associations icing non-checking teams to form a viable division, the SMHA will then be exploring other options for its non-checking teams.

In the past, the SMHA has placed its non-checking teams in an interlocking league with Kanata at the House B level and with the Bytown league at the House A level.

All house league teams at the C level will play in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League as there is no body checking allowed at the C level and there are enough teams involved to make the league viable. The SMHA will determine where its non-checking teams will play this season before Oct. 1.

Get ready to run or walk on Saturday, Oct. 23 Saturday, Oct. 23 is going to be run day in Stittsville.

In fact, it will be “9 RUN RUN” day, the term being used to describe the inaugural Ottawa Emergency Services’ Run. While members of Ottawa’s fire, police and paramedic services will be participating in friendly competition with each other, this

event is open to everyone. Runners will be able to run the so-called “scenic” half marathon country route or the 3K Family Fun Walk/Run route.

The event will start at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, with the routes for the runners following both the Trans Canada Trail as well as some rural roads.

There are some good reasons to participate.

There will be a free post race BBQ. Runners will get either a free long sleeve technical t-

shirt for running the half marathon or a free cotton t-shirt for taking part in the 3K Family Fun Walk/Run. Participants will receive a free iRun magazine subscription. There will also be great door prizes, medals and hands-on displays for the youth.

But the best reasons for participating is that those who take part will not only be showing support for the city’s emergency services personnel but also will be helping

One more and then the big one JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Four down and only one to go before the big one.

The fourth early bird draw in the annual Richmond Fair raffle was held on Thursday, Aug. 19 at Scotiabank in Richmond.

Winning early bird tickets do not go back in the drum until the night of the grand prize draw. In other words, it is only one early bird win possible per ticket.

First time for all-girls peewee competitive lacrosse team SPECIAL TO THE NEWS There’s always something new. This was the case with the Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association this year which was also the Association’s 40th anniversary year.

This was the first season that the Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association formed and ran an all-girls competitive box lacrosse team. The Nepean Knights

Minor Lacrosse Association draws players from communities in the city of Ottawa west of the Rideau River including Stittsville and Richmond. This season the Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association formed an all-girls peewee competitive box lacrosse team. The team practiced twice a week and played exhibition games against the Gloucester Griffins girls peewee team in order to prepare for

the girls box lacrosse provincial championships which were held in Whitby as part of the Ontario Lacrosse Festival.

At the provincial championships, the Nepean Knights’ team won one game while losing three. The Knights beat Gloucester but lost to Centre Wellington, Whitby and Clarington, all areas which had had established girls’ programs for a number of years.

AT SMITHDALE FARM

IN

GOULBOURN

Politicians turn out for plowing match JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Politicians sometimes like to throw dirt at competitors.

On Friday, Aug. 27 at the annual Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match, there were lots of politicians (Could this be an election year?) but no dirt was thrown. However, there was a lot turned over as each of the politicians took a turn at plowing – and with a team of horses, no less.

And what they turned over was not dirt but some fine Goulbourn soil in a field along the Eagleson Road on the Smithdale Farm of Bert and Margaret Smith.

This was the site of this year’s annual plowing match sponsored by the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association.

The two day event featured the VIP plowing at noon on the Friday while Saturday featured the actual competition, with 23 competitors signed up, participating in a variety of classes (horse, tractor or antique tractor).

For the VIP plowing class on the Friday, the dignitar-

ies plowing either with the Percheron pair of Mac and Princess, with their owner Marwin Antoine of Lunenburg near Ingleside helping out with the reins and advice or with Gabriel Lacavalier’s pair of Duchess and Tiny, with Gabriel also controlling the horses and dispensing some advice.

Among those plowing were city of Ottawa politicians and some wouldbe politicians including mayor Larry O’Brien, mayoralty candidate Jim Watson, councillors Glenn Brooks, Eli El-Chantiry, Doug Thompson, Rob Jellett, Gord Hunter, council candidate Scott Moffatt, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre and Ottawa Carleton Queen of the Furrow Avaleigh Eastman of Kinburn (who did her unexpected plowing in sandals while wearing her Queen’s sash and tiara).

And the winner on this sunny, warm day was none other than mayor Larry O’Brien, dethroning last year’s champion who hap-

pened to be Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Glenn Brooks. West Carleton-March ward councillor Eli El-Chantiry placed second while Queen of the Furrow Avaleigh Eastman

was third, overcoming her footwear.

Rideau-Goulbourn ward council candidate Scott Moffatt, who has plowed with a tractor but never with horses, admitted afterwards

that the event was fun.

“It was an experience,” he said after the event while praising the good pair of horses and appropriate coaching advice which he received. He particularly

noted the challenges of getting used to walking behind the horses with the plow and seeing how the horses were steered.

antique tractor plowing.

Another feature of the Saturday was the attendance of a number of former Ottawa Carleton Queens of the Furrow at the match.

This was because this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Queen of the Furrow competition at the International Plowing Match.

The competition has taken place in Ottawa Carleton since 1977, with 27 girls having held the title. Two girls, Julie Dennison and Jennifer Hyland, have held the title twice.

Besides the plowing, this year’s match featured a number of exhibits and displays which were lined up along the Eagleson Road frontage of the site. These included two trucks from the antique Bytown Fire Brigade, a refreshments tent, a Master Gardener exhibit where gardening questions were answered, a children’s activities tent, a maple syrup display, a display of half-size tractors and farm machinery built by Garry Wilson of Lunenburg near Ingleside, a combined display by the city of Ottawa’s Rural Affairs Office and the Ottawa Health Unit, an Osgoode Township Historical Society tent with an antique plow on display and a display by the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum.

All those entering also received a trivia questionnaire upon entering, with the answers to be found on the site. The eight questions dealt with such subjects as the gross total farm receipts in the city of Ottawa, how many pails of sap are needed to produce one pail of maple syrup and the age of the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association.

This year Ottawa Carleton plowing match was held at Smithdale Farms, owned and operated by Bert and Margaret Smith. They have a connection with the plowing match in that their daughter Laurie Lee was the Ottawa Carleton Queen of the Furrow in 1999.

Smithdale Farms began in 1933 when Emily and the late W. Emery Smith purchased the homestead. After high school, Bert worked on the farm, expanding its dairy herd.

Smithdale Farms dispersed its diary herd in 2005 and now is a cash crop/beef operation.

Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Glenn Brooks, who looked the part of a plowman with his straw hat, said that while he had plowed hundreds of acres over the years with a tractor, he had never before plowed with horses. He had won last year’s VIP plowing class on a tractor.

After the event, he said that he encouraged all urban residents of the city to attend a rural plowing match like this one and get a “sense of what the rurals are all about.”

He said that in plowing with a tractor, once everything is set, the driver simply keeps the wheels straight and goes the right speed and the soil rolls over as it should. He said that plowing with horses is a little more work.

The main challenges in plowing with horses, he said, was to keep the plow level and to keep the plow’s skimmer working.

On Saturday, sunny skies and warm temperatures once again prevailed at the site which saw not only plowing with horses and with modern tractors but also with antique tractors and plows. One of these was Murray Bennett of Kemptville who was plowing competitively for the first time in 16 years.

He was using the McCormick Farmall tractor which he has restored, along with an antique plow that he continued to adjust as he plowed his section of land.

The field was a colourful site on the Saturday, with tractors varying in colour from the red Farmall antique tractors to green John Deere tractors even to a yellow Minneapolis-Moline antique tractor. The MinneapolisMoline band was manufactured in Minnesota from 1929 until 1974.

On both the Friday and Saturday, when there were more visitors on the site, tractor powered trolley rides were provided so that visitors could view the extensive site without having to become leg weary walking it. On Saturday, those on the trolley were given a verbal description of what was happening in the various areas of the field, be it the horse plowing, the modern tractor plowing or the

Pull, bull and lumberjacks at Fair JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Lawn tractors are fun to use, riding around sitting down as the lawn gets cut. It is also fun to see lawn tractors in action in a lawn tractor pull and this is what will be happening at this year’s Richmond Fair.

After being missing from the Fair’s attractions for a while, a lawn tractor pull is coming back on the Fair’s agenda this year.

The previous lawn tractor pulls were held in the antiques area but the return of the event to the Fair this year will see the event have a new time and a more prominent venue.

This year the lawn tractor pull

is being held on the Fair’s opening night, Thursday, Sept. 16, with registration at 6 p.m. and the action beginning at 7 p.m.

And the lawn tractor pull will be held on the roadway near Kiddyland, not in the antiques area as previously.

In addition, there will be an outdoor beer garden held in conjunction with the lawn tractor pull, with the beer garden set up right near the pull action.

The lawn tractor pull will be the major event taking place on the Fair’s opening night.

The Thursday evening is also toonie night for the midway rides which is always draws a crowd.

Besides the return of the lawn tractor pull, this year’s Richmond

Fair will see a new attraction that will be bound to provide a lot of ups and downs for Fair-goers, and you could say that’s no bull. In fact, though, it is bull – Jed, the mechanical bull, to be specific.

Yes, Jed the mechanical bull, which Richmond Agricultural Society general manager Dale Greene says has been popular at a number of recent area events, will be at the Richmond Fair this year, with people having the opportunity to test their riding ability.

The mechanical bull will be on the grounds on Thursday evening, Sept. 16, Friday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 19. A previous engagement will keep Jed away from the fairgrounds on the Saturday.

A lumberjack show will be back

at the Richmond Fair this year. It will take place in the antiques area all weekend long. The show will feature log sawing and other lumber-related skills.

There will be no entertainment offered at the Fair on the Thursday evening, Sept. 16. This had been tried in recent years but for this year, it was decided to hold the lawn tractor pull and outdoor beer garden instead.

Comedians had been signed up as this Thursday evening entertainment in recent years but having such entertainment in association with a bar in the arena just did not work out. Those there for the entertainment had trouble hearing the show over the din from those enjoying the bar. It just was not an

ideal situation and did bring forth a number of complaints from the concert goers.

But this year’s entertainment in the arena on the Friday night is proving popular. In two days of online ticket selling last week, 140 tickets were sold. This augurs well for the Friday night show featuring legendary singer, songwriter and guitar player David Wilcox. It is bound to be a sellout so getting tickets early will be necessary for those who want to attend.

What’s happening, man?

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF There may be one thing that is even better than being a spectator at a parade like the annual Richmond Fair parade. And that’s being a participant in the parade.

There’s all the fun of getting the float ready and then there’s the excitement of lining up with the other floats. This, though, is nothing like the thrill of moving slowly along the parade route, waving to the spectators and listening to their comments about the float.

Right now, the 2010 Richmond Fair parade is looking for entries for the annual event. It will be taking place on Saturday, Sept. 18 this year.

Anyone who wants to enter a float or other entry in this year’s Richmond Fair parade can register by calling Marlene at 613-838-2600 or Lise at 613-838-9618. Entries are also being accepted via email at mardale@ storm.ca or at lisebradley@hotmail.com.

The new Habitat for Humanity home being built on Carp Road was helped along on Thursday, Aug. 26 by some volunteers from Iqaluit. A team from Habitat for Humanity Iqaluit spent the morning helping with the Carp Road build as a way of thanking the Ottawa organization for the volunteers who travelled north to Iqaluit last summer to help with a Habitat for Humanity build there which was in fact the very first Midnight Sun Build thanks to the extended daylight hours there. A group of Iqaluit volunteers were in the Ottawa area for a fundraising golf tournament last Friday and so they helped out at the Carp Road build. After spending the morning working at the construction site, they enjoyed a lunch at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville...

…..Much of the north side parking lot at the Ultramar Gas Bar plaza on Stittsville Main Street was resurfaced on Tuesday, Aug. 24….A total of 72 golfers took part in the recent annual Duffers Scramble Golf Tournament which was held by the Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. The tournament, which was named in honour of the Legion’s John Leroux this year, was held at the Richmond Centennial Golf Club. A total of $3,267.40 was raised for the new Rory Bradley Memorial Bursary Fund….The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville will soon be losing one of its most active and enthusiastic members, Merv Robblee, the Club’s current treasurer, who will be moving back to his home province of Saskatchewan next spring where he and his wife will be building a new home. It will allow them to enjoy families and friends there while he continues to enjoy his retirement which began four years ago. He has a Riders hat so you can expect that he will be attending some football games. Merv, though, will be continuing his association with Rotary as his new community
