STORE
Bigger and better JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Over two and a half times more shopping area and more than twice the offerings – that’s Stittsville’s soon-to-be-open new LCBO store. The new 12,000 square foot store along Hazeldean Road at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza will open on Tuesday, Sept. 14 with a 10 a.m. official opening. The shopping area in this new store will be more than 7,700 square feet, nearly triple the shopping area in the current LCBO store at the Crossing Bridge Square plaza in Stittsville. The new store will be offering more than 2,500 wines, spirits, beers, ready-to-drink cocktails and coolers and beverage alcohol gift packs. The current location has about 1,100 such offerings. “That’s more than double the number of products,” Steve Erwin, an LCBO senior communications consultant said in describing the wider selection at the new store. The new store will also feature prominent Ontario VQA wine displays and a Vintages section with more than 650 fine wins and pre-
mium spirits. “It’s your premium products,” Mr. Erwin said with regard to this section of the new store. Also in the new store will be large chilled sections for beer and readyto-drink products as well as a gift section and a promotions table. Wheelchair accessible, the new store will have five checkouts plus a dedicated customer service counter. The larger store will mean a larger staff, with the staffing to increase from the current nine at the present location to 13 employees at the new store. There will also be a full-time product consultant at the store, there to provide advice to consumers about the best purchases for a specific situation. This is all happening because the current LCBO store has become too small for such a rapidly growing community. Not only has Stittsville grown to a population of over 25,000 in recent years but projections are that the population is exJOHN CURRY PHOTO pected to grow by 19 percent over Watched by two friendly scarecrows, ten year old Jacob Anderson of Stittsville tries out one of the soap boxes that will the next ten years. be racing along Abbott Street this Saturday, Sept. 11 in the Stittsville Village Association/Turpin Soap Box Derby, part of LCBO, SEE 2 the 2010 Villagefest activities which have a scarecrow theme this year.

rent premises in a stand-alone building at the Crossing Bridge Square plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in the fall of 1995, officially being opened on Wednesday, November 1. The 3,000 square foot customer shopping area of the store was 25 percent larger than the previous location. It also had a greater selection of products including a selfserve, walk-in cold room for beer.
This was part of a new initiative by the LCBO to provide chilled beer in LCBO outlets that sold beer. The store also had a selection of Ontario VQA wines. It was officially opened not with a ribbon cutting but with a cork popping involving the Hon. Norman Sterling, who was Ontario Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations at the time as well as MPP for the area, LCBO
chair and chief executive officer Andy Brandt and then Goulbourn township mayor Paul Bradley. This LCBO store at Crossing Bridge Square Plaza replaced Stittsville’s first LCBO store which opened on Thursday, April 7, 1977 at the Village Plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hobin Street. The store occupied 3,200 square feet of space in the newly constructed plaza.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The fall gets underway with a bang at the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, Sept. 12 with a special kids’ program called “Autumn, Apples & Acorns.” At this program, which will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., youngsters aged 4 to 12 will be able to make fall themed crafts to take home and also larger scarecrows to decorate the Museum. There will also be fun games and activities. Children are urged to wear plaid or fall colours to really get in the swing of things. All of this will cost only $2 per child. The only downside is that there is only a limited amount of room at the Goulbourn Museum and hence there are only so many spots available. To guarantee a spot for their child or children in this program, parents should call 613-831-2393 or should email education@goulbournmuseum. ca. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Stittsville Village Association/Turpin soap box derby being held this Saturday, Sept. 11 in conjunction with Villagefest 2010 in Stittsville is an event sanctioned by the Canadian Soap Box Racing Association (CSBRA). The CSBRA sanctions soap box derby races for community groups and service clubs throughout Eastern and Southern Ontario from May to October. It is comprised of a group of volunteers who provide guidance to local groups running local races. Membership in the CSBRA allows drivers to collect points at each CSBRA sanctioned race event. These points accumulate over the season, with a points champion declared at the end of the season. Trophies are awarded to the first three place winners in each class. The classes include Masters/Seniors, Super Stock, Stock, CSBRA (Hobby) Pro and Hobby Street. Any boy or girl between the ages of 7 and 17 who is a CSBRA member may race in any class at any event. This Saturday’s SVA/Turpin Stittsville Soap Box Derby will be held rain or shine on the Abbott Street hill just east of Village Square Park. Registration will begin at 7 a.m. while tech setup and inspection will begin at 7:30 a.m. After an opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m., the racing will get underway at 9 a.m. It is expected that racing will be over and the awards will be presented at 4 p.m. Soap box racing began in Stittsville in 1971, running for about three decades. After a lapse of a few years, it returned in conjunction with Villagefest in 2007 and has remained a feature of Villagefest ever since.
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It’s here – Villagefest 2010. The annual celebration of fall is taking place this Saturday, Sept. 11, centred at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in the heart of Stittsville. But things actually will get underway at the Stittsville fire hall where the Stittsville firefighters will be holding their annual public pancake breakfast, beginning at 8 a.m. and running through to 10 a.m. Things will also be getting underway early for the second annual Turpin Stittsville Soap Box Derby which is being held at the Abbott Street hill just east of Village Square. On site registration for this Canadian Soap Box Racing Associationsanctioned event will begin at 7 a.m., with an opening ceremony taking place at 8:30 a.m., followed by racing at 9 a.m. It is expected that the racing will wrap up and the awards will be presented about 4 p.m. Other than the pancake breakfast and the soap box derby, all other Villagefest activities are taking place at Village Square Park. Things will get underway at 11 a.m. when bagpiper Jordan McConnell and the Stittsville Legion colour party will lead the dignitaries taking part in the opening ceremony to the stage set up at Village Square. The singing of O Canada will be led by Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stitts-

The 1st Stittsville Scouts will also be at Villagefest, just like in the past, providing games and activities and serving a treat. There will be walking tours given of the historic downtown core area of Stittsville which is adjacent to Village Square Park. Other activities will include hay rides, face painting, a farmers’ market, a BBQ run by the Stittsville United Church, a Stittsville District Lions Club booth featuring the upcoming White Cane Week, the People’s Gathering Place which usually provides apple pie, and Youth Connexion which will be offering games for children. There may also be displays by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society, Astral Fitness, crafts people and antique car enthusiasts. “I think a lot of people will have a lot of fun,” said Theresa Qadri, a director of the Stittsville Village Association which organizes Villagefest. Villagefest this year is happening several weeks earlier than has been the case as the Stittsville Village Association made a decision to move the event up on the fall calendar to try to ensure better weather for the activities. In addition, the traditional very late September/early October date was not ideal for the participants in the soap box derby held in conjunction with Villagefest. The earlier date fits better into the soap box racing calendar.

Grant Dillenbeck of the Stittsville United Church, followed by a time of silence to remember the tragedy of 9-11 since Villagefest this year is being held on its anniversary date. There will be continuous entertainment following this opening ceremony right through to 5 p.m. Featured will be the Stittsville musical group Weeds, the family singing group the Monettes, the Stittsville Concert Band and Johnny Rockstar, along with a number of youth bands. The entertainment will also include a “Stittsville Has Talent” show featuring Stittsville youth exhibiting their talent. Up to 20 youth have already signed up for the event. Also on stage at Villagefest this year will be a presentation by Saunders Farm of Munster, featuring Pamela Von Twilight who will be belting out her Monster Charts hit, “I Kissed a Ghoul.” The stage will be decorated with scarecrows which is the theme for this year’s Villagefest in Stittsville. Villagefest organizers hope that people attending the activities will dress up like scarecrows or at least wear scarecrow-type straw hats and clothing. This will also help emphasize the scarecrow theme for this year’s Villagefest. The Goulbourn Museum will be on hand at Villagefest and will be making a scarecrow craft with youngsters.

Is it BIA time for Stittsville businesses?
Businesses and commercial outlets on the Carp Road between March Road and almost highway 417 are soon going to be part of a Business Improvement Area (BIA). The Carp Road corridor BIA is expected to be approved by Ottawa city council any time now. A recent survey indicated that almost three quarters of 100 businesses surveyed showed support for the BIA with only five businesses opposed outright. This would indicate that the BIA is going to be set up, since the only way that it will not happen is if one-third of the businesses involved object to the BIA once it is approved by council. There are in total more than 200 businesses and more than 2,500 jobs located in this Carp Road corridor that will be covered by the BIA. With the Carp Road Corridor BIA, all of these businesses will be able to speak with a single voice on local issues such as consistent signage for each business

park, road drainage, road improvements and economic development grants. In addition, it should improve communications between the businesses and Ottawa city hall and should also result in a marketing program. This Carp Road Corridor BIA will be the city’s 17th BIA, ranging in size from the 25 member BIA in Carp to the 525 member BIA in the Byward market. Budgets of these BIA’s vary from $10,000 annually to $800,000. BIA’s, such as this new Carp Road Corridor BIA, set their own budget and decided what projects, if any, they will undertake. The levy on businesses reflects the size of the BIA budget – the lower the budget, the lower the levy. Stittsville businesses rejected establishing a BIA a few years ago. Perhaps it is now time to start looking at the issue again, especially with the new commercial and retail coming
on stream at Timbermere and along Hazeldean Road. We talk a lot about preserving the village atmosphere and ensuring the independence of the Stittsville community, something which is going to get harder and harder to do now that the former open buffer between Stittsville and Kanata is falling under development. But a BIA could be an important tool in promoting and retaining the image of a separate Stittsville community with its own unique and bustling retail and commercial sector. A unified, consistent marketing message shared by all businesses could be one of the goals of a Stittsville BIA. If 17 other business/retail/commercial areas have seen the benefit of working together under the banner of a BIA, perhaps Stittsville’s business community should consider taking such a step. It could be in their best interest as well as that of the community as a whole.
STITTSVILLE
Fundraiser for flood victims in Pakistan SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Stittsville and area residents will have an opportunity to help the flood victims of Pakistan this Sunday, Sept. 12 thanks to the efforts of a Stittsville mother and homemaker who decided that she had to do something to help the situation. Saira Khokhar of Stittsville admits to being devastated while watching the distressed faces of children in Pakistan whose homes have been swept away by flood waters in front of their very eyes. She has been equally upset at seeing the faces of helpless parents who barely survived the floods as their children clung to them, even though they lost everything apart from the bare clothes that they were wearing. So she set about to do something about it and raise money for these flood victims in Pakistan. He has teamed up with Unicef to raise money which can be used for food and shelter in Pakistan. The fundraiser will be held this Sunday, Sept. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stittsville Flea Market on Carp Road across from the MacEwen gas bar between Hazeldean Road and highway 417. The fund-
raiser will include a garage sale, barbecue, face painting, a bake sale and a raffle. Every penny raised will go to Pakistan flood relief through Unicef. Gently used clothing and household items in good condition will be accepted as donations for the garage sale until this Friday, Sept. 10. Such donations can be dropped off at 106 Kimpton Drive in the Jackson Trails subdivision in Stittsville or at 3 Loyal Hill in Bridlewood in Kanata. For more information about donating gently used clothes and household items, please call Saira Khokhar at 613-435-5155. The floods in Pakistan are now a worse disaster than the January, 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2005 Kashmir earthquake combined. One fifth of Pakistan was flooded, over 15 million people have been displayed and almost five million are without shelter. The Canadian government has now offered to match dollar-fordollar any donations made to flood relief in Pakistan until Sept. 12, so this fundraiser organized by Saira Khokhar will qualify.

LIBRARY BRANCH
The face of Gerald Smith’s art on display JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF You might be turning a corner in an aisle between the stacks at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library and suddenly come face to face with a giant face. Don’t be taken aback. Instead, enjoy the moment, because you will be looking at a giant portrait created by artist Gerald Smith of Stittsville. Two large paintings of heads are part of an exhibit of artwork by Mr.Smith which is on display in the ArtSpace exhibition area of the Stittsville library from now through to the end of September. Mr. Smith is known for his giant paintings of heads. Besides the two giant portraits, one of Amber Symington which is 66 inches high by 54 inches wide and one of Benet Gladwin, who is Mr. Smith’s grandson, which is 66 inches high by 51 inches wide, the exhibit also includes several of Mr. Smith’s smaller framed works, located in the display case which is in the ArtSpace area. Three of these are seascapes, another of the major themes of Mr. Smith’s work in recent years. Besides his large paintings of heads and his seascapes, Mr. Smith’s artistic focus in recent
years has also included people in art galleries and abstracts. He acknowledges that all of these themes for his paintings are visually quite different from each other. However, he notes that they are all driven by the same focus which is to explore the use of colour, bal-
ance, mood and space. Mr. Smith has had numerous solo art exhibitions over his lengthy career as an artist, going as far back as 1968. Most recently, his work was featured in a solo show at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Ottawa last January and at the Ottawa City
Hall Art Gallery in January 2006. He has also shown in numerous group shows ranging from the Ottawa School of Art to the Ron Maslin Theatre in Kanata to Gallery Four Seven Nine in Ottawa to the Pilar Sheppard Gallery in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is-

land. He is also an active member of two artist run co-op galleries, the Foyer Gallery in Nepean and the Kanata Civic Art Gallery in Kanata. Mr. Smith’s work can be found in the Canada Council Art Bank, the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, the Gairdner Fine Art Collection in Toronto, the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax and in numerous private collections. Mr. Smith received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick in 1976 and then earned a Masters Degree in Studio Art at the University of Saskatchewan in 1979. He has taught at the Ottawa School of Art from 1988 to the present. He formerly taught with the Extension Department of the University of Saskatchewan and at community colleges in Saskatchewan. The ArtSpace exhibit area at the Stittsville library, where Mr. Smith’s work is now on exhibit, is located in the rear right hand area of the branch. The art is on exhibit whenever the library branch is open. Members of the public are encouraged to drop by and enjoy the work of this Stittsville artist.

The theory goes something like this, as espoused by investment advisor and radio show stock market host Walter Traversy in speaking to members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at its Aug. 31 meeting: Young people get married, have babies, buy houses, and are avid consumers. This youth demographic, through its consumer habits, drives the stock market to higher levels because businesses are doing well. When this generation stops raising families and begins to save, the stock market tends to level out because there are no longer house buying, baby producing consumers driving the growth of stock market companies. This holding pattern continues until the next generation of consumers comes along and begins the stock market growth again. Mr. Traversy said that each new generation drives the stock market higher when as consumers, this youth group takes over driving the economy. When this youth generation stops being consumers, having raised its families, the stock market will top out and not grow again until the next youth generation of consumers comes along. This means that investors should invest in times when a new generation is buying as consumers, not when it has stopped raising families and is beginning to invest itself. He said that the next demographic influx that will lead to youthful consumers is about the year 2014. Until then, investors should be content to long term investors who buy good quality stocks, preferably with good dividends paid as well.
“The stock market is just a place to value corporate earnings,” Mr. Traversy explained. He said that history has shown that stock market growth has equaled the value of corporate earnings in Canada, which for some time has been seven percent. This means that invested money will double about every ten years. The Toronto Stock Exchange has done this in the decades of 1984 to 1994 and 1994 to 2004. The same is expected to happen in the decade ending in 2014. In addition to this seven percent growth, there has been an average three and a half percent annual dividend paid by the stock market. Besides dealing with the stock market, Mr. Traversy also shared with the Rotary Club members some of his observations about the world today and how it can be improved. “The world will heal itself when mankind stops teaching its children to hate,” he said. He said that people must look inside themselves and undo any hate that they have been taught. While admitting that attitudes and values have evolved a lot in recent times, he said this has not been universal and there is a need for more people to be tolerant and accepting. He urged that people be careful what children are taught, saying that stereotypes and traditional rivalries can create a mindset of bigotry. “We have to be very careful with what we teach our kids,” Mr. Traversy said. He said that there is a difference between gentle humour and hatefulness, noting that he had been at Ottawa Senators/Montreal Canadiens hockey games where some of the remarks made about French Canadians cross the line.

New Secondary Plan appealed to the OMB JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF
Community corn roast St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond is holding its annual community corn roast on Saturday, September 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Free. Everyone is welcome. Music, corn, drinks, BBQ, face painting and children’s activities. Those attending should bring along a lawn chair or blanket for seating.

The new Richmond Secondary Plan has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). This is the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) which was approved by Ottawa city council this past July which dealt with future growth and development in Richmond. It arose out of the work of city of Ottawa planning staff and the Richmond Village Plan Steering Committee over the previous two and a half years. City of Ottawa planner Donald Morse, who headed the initiative on behalf of the municipality, sees some good news related to this appeal. First, there is only one appeal. There are a lot of people who did not appeal, he points out. He admits that at the beginning of the process, it was anticipated that there may be OMB appeals arising out of this planning process. He himself was hopeful that enough work had been done on the file to convince those who were against proposed development of the village to support the OPA. “That was wishful thinking,” he admits. But he also admits that the Community Design Plan (CDP), the Transportation Master Plan and the zoning related to the Community Design Plan work are all in place now and have not been appealed. “The CDP is in place,” he said, saying that the document’s recommendations regarding the village’s heritage and its visual character are now part of city policy related to Richmond. Any zoning changes made in existing parts of the village such as adding more uses for the industrial lands in the southeast corner of Richmond are now in effect and are not part of the OMB appeal. A holding zone still applies to the Mattamy and northeast development lands. As for the industrial lands, the city will still be following through on the proposed project to look at their viability and other possible land uses. A city planning staffer will be assigned to head this project that is expected to take two years. The OMB appeal is based on four points. One deals with water and the related provincial policy statement. The appeal states that piped water should be extended to the entire village right away or that at least there should be a detailed strategy to accomplish this. Another deals with a proposed stormwater management pond in the flood plain, specifically that of the Van Gaal drain. A related point of appeal is the proposed use of sump pumps in the homes in the new Mattamy development on the western side of Richmond. Mattamy Homes is currently doing an analysis to determine if sump pumps can be an acceptable drainage option for its new development. City staff will also be in-
volved in making this determination. This is part of the ongoing work related to the OPA and the Mattamy development which city staff and the developer are doing. It will result in a report to Ottawa city council’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee in the future. Once the sump pump issue is resolved, Mattamy will be able to finalize the storm water management and drainage plan for its development in Richmond. This will come forward through the Environmental Assessment process. The fourth point on which the OMB appeal is based is questioning the cost and need for JOHN BRUMMELL PHOTO additional development land in Richmond. Mr. Morse points out that the Mattamy and Robyn Darragh is the new vice-principal at Goulbourn Middle School. She most recently was viceother lands proposed for development in the principal at Knoxdale Public School in Nepean for the past five years. She has been a teacher for a OPA have been designated as future residen- total of 16 years. tial development lands since the 1970’s. He points out that city council’s approval of the OPA was done with the understanding that the city would be following up with several initiatives. This includes a financial management plan and finalization of the storm water pond location. “All of the things we have to do as a follow up will speak to these (OMB) issues,” he said. Susan Murphy, project manager for Mattamy Homes for its Richmond project, does not know at this point in time if the OMB appeal will affect Mattamy’s timeline for its Richmond development. “It depends on the time to resolve this appeal and whether or not there will be future appeals,” she emailed in response to an inquiry about the appeal. Ms. Murphy notes that Mattamy is continuing to work on finalizing the Master Servicing Study, the Storm Water Management and Drainage Plan and the Financial Plan, all of which are pending following city council’s approval of the OPA and CDP last July. She notes that all of these documents will be publicly available at some time in the future, with another appeal mechanism available then for both the Master Servicing Study and the Storm Water Management and Drainage Plan. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Glenn Brooks, who supported the OPA and CDP when it was approved by city council, acknowledges that it is certainly a legitimate part of the process for an appeal to Beginner and Intermediate be filed with the OMB. “I just hope the appeal does not overshadLine Dance Lessons ow all the work that the Village Community Steering Committee has put into making Richmond a better place to live, work and play,” he said. Upstairs at the Richmond Arena He said that the appeal could result in a Tuesday 2:00pm - 3:00pm long and expensive OMB hearing, citing Sept. 14 - Dec. 14, ‘10 the case of the recent OMB appeal about the proposed Minto development in Manotick Upstairs at the Stittsville Arena which ended up costing about two million dollars, with $900,000 of this being the cost Thursday 8:00pm - 9:00pm to the city of Ottawa.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa Many residents living in the Beverley Street area have contacted my office about a letter they received from Canada Post regarding a postal code change beginning September 20, 2010. This will be the third such change affecting this area. Canada Post wishes to subdivide postal codes. This change comes with the removal of the postal kiosk on Beverley Street, which serves over 200 residents in an attempt streamline operation costs and improve service. Canada Post, in failing to provide ample amount of notice to residents and the Ward Councillor, has not only caused frustration, but also an inconvenience to residents. With a change in postal code, people will have to change the information on documents such as health cards, banking information and driver’s licences. When you are involved in public service, proper communication is needed. I do not blame anyone for expressing anger and frustration. As the Councillor for the area, if I had been informed of these changes, I would have notified my constituents to make them aware. This change by Canada Post has been done in a rushed, unorganized and unfair manner. I plan on holding a public meeting at a future date where I will listen to concerns and will forward comments to the appropriate individuals. In the meantime, I encourage you to contact Philippe Asselin, who is the Delivery Planning Officer with Canada Post. He is the gentleman who sent out the letter and he can be reached at 613-203-3099. I also suggest you contact your Member of Parliament, Gordon O’Connor, as this a federal issue. He can be reached by telephone at 613-592-3469, by fax at 613592-4756 and finally by e-mail at oconng7@
Postal code changes for Beverley Street area parl.gc.ca. Rink for Trustee M. Curry Park in the works The City of Ottawa is proposing to build a full-boarded rink and a rink bunker for Trustee M. Curry Park, located at 85 Hartsmere Drive. The rink is planned for the grassed area of the park closer to the parking lot while the concrete rink bunker, will be located at the southeast corner of the park. The location of the bunker needs to be close to the water source for the rink and hydro source to provide power for interior lights and a small heater to keep the hose from freezing. With these additions to the park, it is necessary that the two mini soccer fields on the site be relocated towards the west end of the park, to provide sufficient space for the rink. The relocation of the mini-soccer fields will also provide new space in the summer months for a free play area. Along with a picture of the bunker, I have attached a Word Document that gives an aerial look of plans for the park on my website at www.shadqadri.com in the Community Infrastructure section under the Planning and Development tab. Please take the time to review these plans and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at shad.qadri@ottawa.ca. You can also address your questions to Patrick Legault, who is a planner with the City’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Branch by e-mail at patrick. legault@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-5802424 x 13857. Stittsville Main and Carp Road construction update We have been informed that the anticipated
opening between Stittsville Main and Carp Road scheduled for September 3 has been delayed until October 8. This extension of the clsoure was necessitated by unforseen soil conditions in the right of way. We understand the frustration this is causing and appreciate the patience and understanding the residents and merchants affected by the closure are showing. I wish to assure them that I will continue to work with City Staff in hopes of shortening the time frame if possible. Back to school safety It’s the first week back at school, and I hope that the students in Stittsville enjoyed their summer. I wanted to let residents know that Ottawa Police will be focusing on school bus and school zone safety, as well as tailgaters, for September’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). In 2009, tailgating caused 4,973 rearend collisions - the most frequent type of collision accounting for one-third of Ottawa’s total collisions. These collisions resulted in one death and 1,373 injuries - 17 of them life-threatening. Over the past five years, 39 collisions occurred on Ottawa roads involving school bus traffic control violations, resulting in 15 injuries - one of which involved a schoolage child exiting the school bus. The penalties for a driver passing a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing include fines ranging from $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points for a first offence. A second offence yields the driver a fine between $1,000 and $4,000, six demerit points and a possible jail sentence of up to six months. Penalties may not be limited to the driver. The vehicle owner may also be charged for school bus traffic control violations, with
fines ranging from $400 to $2,000. Police officers are not required to witness the vehicle passing a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing in order to lay charges against the vehicle owner. Citizens who witness such occurrences can contact the police and provide the make, model, colour of vehicle; license number; location, date and time of the incident; and, if possible, a description of the driver. Check out the new look and feel of the City’s website Some major changes are underway to Ottawa.ca. They began September 1, with the launch of a new front page and new landing pages. The changes are made with your time in mind -all the most popular information one click from the homepage that features social media and other dynamic content. And, it’s all just a start! Watch for other changes in the coming months. And tell us what you would like to see by completing our online surveys. We look forward to your feedback.

NEW MALE CHORUS
Watch for your
Voices up! JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF If you have an interest in singing, a willingness to learn, a sense of humour and a smile to perform with, then you are an ideal candidate for the new Goulbourn Male Chorus. This new male singing group is starting up this fall with the first rehearsal planned for Monday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville which is generously donating the rehearsal space to support this new musical initiative in the community. Stittsville resident Robert Dueck will serve as the music director for this new male chorus. His passion for traditional sacred and secular choral music sparked his desire to begin this new group. He has directed a number of church and community choirs so that he brings a wide variety of music experience to the role of music director for the Goulbourn Male Chorus. This has included serving as director of the Celebration Singers, a 60 voice adult community choir on Vancouver Island as well as director of the Yuletide Singers, a 22 voice choral ensemble which presented a Christmas concert to raise funds for hospital renovations and equipment. Mr. Dueck also sang with the University of Manitoba Bison Men’s Chorus and in Winnipeg was the founder and concert promoter and planner for the Community Choral Classic Concerts series, a fundraiser for the Children’s Cancer Fund of Manitoba. He also served as choir director and organist for the Elim Chapel in Winnipeg where he was responsible for the music selection and rehearsing for the choir of approximately 25 singers. His focus as director of the new Goulbourn Male Chorus will be to start with music that is achievable for a small ensemble of singers. The range of music difficulty will be from easy to moderate, with the goal always being for singers to enjoy the experience. Music for the initial fall session will include both new and traditional Christmas tunes in a variety of styles, ranging from exuberant to delightfully Robert Dueck expressive arrangements. The new Goulbourn Male Chorus will provide an opportunity for singers to contribute towards making the community an even better place, strengthening the community’s arts and culture profile. The new chorus will be providing entertainment at fundraising events or banquets at area churches and at selected community opportunities. Currently nine men have approached Mr. Dueck with an interest in being part of this new Goulbourn Male Chorus. But there is lots of room for more. Anyone interested in knowing more about the new Goulbourn Male Chorus or in indicating an interest in joining the group should contact Mr. Dueck via email at dueckrobt@gmail.com. He can also be contacted by calling the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church’s office at 613-831-1256.

Brazil Pearls at Beckwith SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Although they did not emerge as champions, the U10 girls Stittsville Brazil Pearls of the Goulbourn Soccer Club came home as winners from the Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League’s recent year-end tournament at Beckwith Fields near Carleton Place. This is because the girls competed hard in
three difficult matches before being eliminated. As a result, they came home extremely proud of their performance. Their pride was enhanced by the fact that each received a personalized trophy at the year-end tournament. This year-end tournament featured teams from several of the league’s recreational age categories.

The Duke of Richmond, the highest official appointed in Canada by the British government, died at Twin Elm just outside Richmond on August 28, 1819, after completing a visit to the newly established Richmond military settlement. He died at a pioneer homestead about three miles downstream on the Jock River from Richmond as a result of rabies brought about by a bite from a pet fox at Sorel, Quebec, the previous June. A national historic monument, reflecting his importance in the early history of Canada, was erected in 1926 near the site of his death. This cairn and plaque can still be seen along the Richmond Road near Richmond. The Duke of Richmond who died near Richmond in 1819 was Charles Lennox, the fourth Duke of Richmond and Lennox, who had been born in 1704. The new military settlement of Richmond was named after the Duke of Richmond as the earlier settlers, disbanded soldiers of the 99th and 100th Regiments, had seen his ship arriving in Quebec City in 1818, before they had departed for the new settlement of Richmond later that year. They had decided to name their new settlement in honour of the Duke. Charles Lennox, the fourth Duke of Richmond, had been appointed commander-in-chief of all of the British North American colonies, as well as Governorin-chief of Lower Canada in May, 1818. With his appointment, he had received a mandate to improve the defenses of the colonies and its inland navigation system.
This was in response to the recent War of 1812 and concerns by the British government about the ability of Canadian colonies to defend themselves against invasion from the Americans. E s t a b Charles Lennox, lishing the Duke of Richmond military settlement at Richmond was part of this overall concern with regard to the defense of the Canadas and more particularly with the British government’s decision to populate the territory with loyal British subjects, preferably ones with military experience who could be called out in time of war or a threat from the United States. The disbanded soldiers of the 99th and 100th Regiments were considered as perfect for this task, being both loyal and experienced in military matters. The Duke of Richmond’s sudden death near Richmond in 1819 as he was completing a tour of the British settlements in Upper Canada caused grief in both Canada and Britain. The Duke of Richmond was buried in a vault below the Anglican cathedral in Quebec City.
Half century of curling The Richmond Curling Club is marking its 50th anniversary year this year. Curling came to Richmond in 1960 with the formation of the Richmond Curling Club, but it was something which happened two years earlier which made this possible. That was the construction of a new quonset-type building by the Richmond Agricultural Society in 1958 for use as a calf barn for the annual Richmond Fair. However, it had been built with the possibility in mind that the building could be used, with a few modifications, as a two-sheet curling rink and lounge during the winter months. This happened in 1960 when, after a loan from the bank, a government grant for fluorescent lighting for the building, renovations, equipment purchasing, curling stones obtained and yes, ice made, the Curling Club became a reality with curling beginning on natural ice about the last week of December. It had been decided earlier in 1960 that the building could accommodate two sheets of ice along with a lounge area. Among those who were key in the initial formation of this Richmond Curling Club were Bruce Kinkade, Dick O’Connor, Everett Hepton and Des Stapleton. The curling stones were obtained from the Prescott Curling Club thanks to the efforts of Gordon Nichol and Pat Kennedy. After two seasons of curling on natural ice, artificial ice was installed. The club flourished through the 1960s and 1970s, but in the late 1979s, the roof of the curling rink was declared unsafe. This prompted the membership to go ahead with the construction of a new four-sheet curling
rink with a two-storey clubhouse facility on Agricultural Society land just east of the first facility. Fundraising endeavours plus a Wintario grant of just over $300,000 made the new facility possible, and in May, 1980, the first curling took place in the new four-sheet facility. The Richmond Curling Club now boasts a full complement of men’s ladies and mixed curling activities. In addition, it has a vibrant Little Rock curling program for young beginner curlers., as well as a junior curling program. In recent years, a very active daytime seniors curling program has become popular, so that now the Curling Club bustles with activity from morning to night, with curling going on by those of all ages. The Richmond Curling Club, in recent years, has been the site of provincial and even one national curling championship events. In February, 1995, the Richmond Curling Club hosted the Ontario Provincial Farmers Curling Championship, sponsored by John Deere Limited, with 16 rinks involved from communities across the province. In March, 1999, the Richmond Curling Club hosted the annual Gore Mutual Ontario School Curling Provincial Championship for high school boy and girl curlers from across Eastern and Southern Ontario. In April, 1999, the Richmond Curling Club was the site of the Royal Canadian Legion National Senior Curling Championship, while in January, 2002, the Club hosted the Grey Power Seniors Provincial Curling Championships

Police drag net follows 1938 Richmond bank robbery July 19, 1938 saw a three-member masked and armed gang rob the Bank of Nova Scotia in Richmond. A total of $12,478 was taken in the robbery along with securities and postal stamps. The robbers could have had even more as they overlooked nearly $10,000 worth of negotiable bonds owned by bank customer William Hemphill, head of the Richmond
cheese factory. The bonds were lying on the desk of bank manager Collis Lewis as coupons from the bonds were being clipped. There were only three employees and one customer in the bank when the three bandits struck, leaving their unguarded car and entering the bank. With handkerchiefs covering their faces and armed with revolvers and a sawed-off shotgun, the three bandits of the notorious
This was the interior of the Bank of Nova Scotia in Richmond when it was located in the former Brown Bros. stone building at the corner of McBean Street and Strachan Street.
“Campbell gang” confronted the teller, 28 year old William Adam, and the ledger keeper, 21 year old Mervin Brown, ordering them to “put ‘em up”. The ledger keeper screamed. It was then that one of the three burst into the office of manager Collis Lewis and barked to both Mr. Lewis and the customer, William Hemphill, “Hands up! This is a holdup!” The bandit then shouted “Do as you’re told and nobody will be hurt!”. While this masked bandit was in the manager’s office, a second masked bandit was close behind, holding a sawed-off shotgun. Meanwhile, the third bandit, who was wearing heavy smoked black glasses, was intimidating the teller and ledger keeper with a large revolver. Mr. Hemphill and the manager were herded behind the bank’s wicket and were forced to lie on the floor with the rest of the staff while the gang gathered up all the cash and securities that they could find in the place.

Stittsville News - SEPTEMBER 09, 2010
Apparently bandits whizzed past Mrs. Lewis as she stood near the getaway car, shouting that she had the license plate number and that they would be caught, advising them to drop the money. It had taken about two and a half minutes for the bandits to carry out the holdup. One of the largest drag nets in provincial police history in the area was thrown over the entire district following this holdup. The police, though, were hampered in their efforts to trace the getaway car by the fact that one license plate seen by witnesses was stolen from another vehicle at Malakoff while the second license plate had been twisted upwards to prevent the number from being seen. The police drag net was not too effective, although Oscar Campbell was captured in a cottage near Manotick 13 days after the robbery. He ended up getting 12 years in prison in the Kingston penitentiary. His brother, Melville Campbell, eluded the drag net in the area but was arrested in Windsor about 20 days after his brother was captured. He was sentenced to seven years in penitentiary in connection with a bank robbery at Mount Brydges near London. At the completion of his prison term, he was brought to Ottawa to stand trial for his part in the Richmond holdup. The third member of the “Campbell gang”, Donald Edwards, was not arrested until nearly five years later, in June, 1943, when he was arrested in Oregon City, Oregon. He was arrested by a deputy from the United States Marshal’s office while he was at work at a foundry in Oregon City. Extradition proceedings returned him to Canada to stand trial for his part in the Richmond bank robbery. He was arrested as a result of a lengthy investigation led by Inspector George McKay, head of the Criminal Investigation Branch of the Ontario Provincial Police. Donald Edwards and Oscar Campbell had both escaped from the Erie County jail in New York State only five months before the Richmond robbery took place on July 19, 1938. It was felt that the bandits had thoroughly cased the Richmond bank and were aware that the Richmond bank on the day of the robbery had much more currency on hand than normally since three local cheese factories had just issued cheques for milk supplied. Oscar Campbell, who was arrested at a cottage near Manotick, was found with Mary Donnelly. She was tried in County Court on a charge of being an accomplice to the robbery but the charge was later withdrawn.

Immanuel House in Richmond By Jane Whiting The community of Richmond is embracing a much-anticipated, full-service retirement residence called Immanuel House – the new addition to the Hyde Park development of 92 bungalow townhomes. When completed, this innovative design complex will provide105 suites, 35 apartments, and an attractive, 30,000 sq. ft. community centre that boasts fittings of the latest SMART equipment (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technologies), which includes a theatre, workshops, medical clinic, exercise facility, indoor swimming pool and a 120-seat dining room. At the groundbreaking ceremony held on June 30, Councillor Glenn Brooks praised the developer, Steve Hyde, for creating a progressive, forward-thinking, retirement concept unique to Ottawa. Funding for its construction is provided through financial participants who purchase the suites as real estate “income property,” which pays them interest of up to twelve per cent per year. Suites are then rented out to seniors at favourable rates, due to the project’s not-for-profit status. Ebel Geertsema, a former school principal, and his wife Elizabeth ar e in their 80s. They were so impressed after visiting Hyde Park they purchased a two-bedroom apartment. Living with others who share common interests, socializing and playing games such as shuffle-board were important factors in their decision. The couple now live in a beautiful waterfront home. However, “It’s a long journey when we want to go shopping or visit the doctor,” says Geertsema. “Having medical facilities and everything we need in one place is so convenient.” A low-maintenance apartment with housekeeping services is a big plus. Another attraction is being closer to family and a location that lets them be more involved in a community. Financial participants Brian Vlaming and his wife Ruth, share the Christian concept that Immanuel House meets the societal and community needs of an aging population. They welcomed the financial opportunity to purchase the real estate as income property and bought a one-bedroom suite to be rented out. “I heard about the project from Ralph Vandenberg, the architect of Hyde Park, who is not only a good friend, but he has worked with Steve Hyde, the developer, for many years,” says Vlaming. “What attracted us, partly, was the excellent return of the income property; and we wanted to support Steve’s endeavour of providing affordable living for seniors.” Only in their early 50s, the Vlamings have no immediate retirement plans themselves. “The biggest draw for me,” says Ruth, “is that Steve really feels led by the Lord to provide this, and believes that it’s our responsibility to take care of our parents on a community level.” She adds that she finds it exciting to be part of a vision that is open to people of all faiths.
Leslie Abraham tried to persuade her mother, Lois Brown, to move into a bungalow at Hyde Park five years ago. But Lois
Cited as “ground-breaking” in more ways than one wasn’t ready then. Now 82, Lois’s best friend passed away and Lois has recently been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s. “It was her decision to move closer to us,” says Leslie. “As soon as she saw the plans, she bought a two-bedroom apartment on the spot. Now she can live independently longer and still have access to other levels of care.” A move to the assisted-living floor, equipped with its own dining room and lounge, will provide assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming and medication monitoring, should this care be required. Lois also likes the idea of putting her assets into owning an apartment, rather than renting. Leslie is pleased, too, that the community centre will be available to her family and Richmond villagers who will welcome the services of a new doctor at the medical centre.

This is most likely caused by a burnt signal bulb; it’s an indication that a bulb needs to be replaced. The electrical circuit contains a resistor style flasher, it turns a signal on and off when there is ample electrical current. If a bulb is damaged, the circuit is also damaged and therefore the remaining signal bulb will flash faster.

When was the first mouthwash and toothpaste invented? The first mouthwash was invented in the Middle Ages, people believed that dogs teeth boiled in wine made an excellent mouth rinse for tooth decay prevention. Egyptians used a form of tooth paste over 5000 years ago but Colgate introduced aromatic toothpaste in a jar in 1873 and then packaged it in collapsible tubes in 1896. Approximately $2 billion a year is spent on dental products a year in the United Sates. So for your free toothbrush and floss, call and visit us today!

LAUGHLIN, Mark CA,CPA Dec. 19, 1963 - Sept. 08, 2007 In loving memory of a wonderful son, brother, uncle and great uncle, who was taken from us so suddenly and tragically three years ago.
He is gone but not forgotten, And, as dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, Lying in our hearts concealed.

Fair days are not dog days JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Richmond Fair is not going to the dogs this year. In fact, there will be no dogs other than service dogs allowed on the grounds this year as the annual mutt show is not being held. This has been a regular event at the Richmond Fair for years, with dog owners showing their dogs in such categories as best groomed, dog with the shortest legs, best costume, best trick, loudest bark and most enthusiastic tail wag. But while dogs have been eliminated this year, there will still be the wide variety of cattle, horse and sheep shows for which the Richmond Fair is famous. And, of course, there will be a lot of “horses” running in the annual demolition derby, always one of the Fair’s most popular events. Vehicles of all horsepowers will be running around, smashing into each other as they try to be the last one running in this cacophony of mayhem and noise. Just great entertainment which is why thousands turn out each year to see it. This year the demolition derby will go ahead, rain or shine, on Friday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. There will be the heats and finals in the four cylinder car class, the six cylinder car class and the eight cylinder car crash, meaning lots of smashing and banging in the rink. The lawn tractor pull makes a return to the Richmond Fair this year. It will be held on the Thursday evening, Sept. 16, with registration at 6 p.m. and action starting at 7 p.m. There will be youth classes for those 12 years old and under as well as various adult classes. And with the profusion of digital cameras and cell phones that take photos, fair goers should be aware of the annual photo competition at the Fair. This competition is open to members of the public, with one entry allowed in each category. Photos must be taken at this year’s Richmond Fair to be eligible. All entries, either on CD or photographic prints, must be submitted to the Richmond Agricultural Society by Nov. 1. The digital image categories in the competition which are to be submitted on CD include youth participation, adult/senior involvement, candid shot of people having fun at the Fair, candid shot of someone too tired to participate any more, most unusual display, 4-H involvement, Homecraft at the Fair, live action show, quilts/handcrafts at the Fair, livestock and live demonstrations. Categories in the competition which require submission of prints (can be taken with digital or cell cameras) include children at the Fair, creatures and critters at the Fair, something “new” at the Fair and advertizing the Fair. The Richmond Fair this year will run from Thursday, Sept. 16 through to Sunday, Sept. 19 at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond.

Aces high SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Aces carried the game on Thursday, Sept. 2. No, it was not a card game but rather a Greater Ottawa Fastball League semi-final playoff series game. And when all the cards had been dealt and the last card played, it was the Kars Aces who finished atop in a 9-0 romp over the Stittsville 56ers. This was the opening game of a best-of-three semi-final playoff series between the Kars Aces and the Stittsville 56ers. Kars went ahead 1-0 in the first inning and then soared ahead with three runs in the third to lead 4-0. After a solo run in the fourth inning, Kars scored four more in the fifth inning to end up winning by a 9-0 count. Darren Featherstone was the losing pitcher in this game for the Stittsville 56ers. The Kars Aces finished in first place in the regular season with a record of 16 wins and only 3 losses. The Stittsville 56ers, last year’s playoff champions, finished in fourth place in the regular season this year with a record of 11 wins, 9 losses and 1 tie.
