Disaster at sea in 1805 JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
HERE’S MEGAN Liberals select their candidate for upcoming provincial election in October 11
The 100th Regiment of Foot fought through the War of 1812 and then battled the rigours of settling in the virgin territory of Goulbourn in 1818. But the Regiment’s greatest and most disastrous experience happened in 1805, just a year after its formation, when one of the worst maritime disasters in Canadian history in terms of loss of life took place involving soldiers of the 100th Regiment and their families. The tale of this, which saw one ship carrying members of the Regiment sink off the coast of Newfoundland with the loss of 340 lives, is now on display on the ArtSpace wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Entitled “The Voyage of Goulbourn’s 100th Regiment: Disaster before the War of 1812,” the display consists of four information panels as well as additional information provided in the display case that sits beside the ArtSpace wall at the library.

hearing is important to me. Due to my reduced vision, “ My I need all the hearing I can get. When I recently moved to Kanata I needed someone who could help with my overall hearing care. I was told to go to Capital Audiology because of their reputation for good service. I was lucky to find them. After trying a few sets of hearing aids, an FM system and some amplified phones we settled on solutions that really worked for me. Thank you to Eric and Lori for spending all that time and going beyond my expectations.

Value Village - Great buys while helping out It’s like a continuous giant garage sale. It happens every day with over 100,000 items on sale at any given time. Everything from men’s women’s and children’s clothing and accessories to housewares to electronics and furniture. And now it’s happening right here in Stittsville, just like at 269 other locations all across Canada, the United States and Australia, including five others right here in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. It’s a Value Village thrift store that has opened in a new 25,123 square foot facility right at the Grant Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road, just west of the Carp River. What’s great about Value Village is not only do shoppers get great selection and great deals on fashions, home décor and more but also its non-profit partners benefit, receiving funds for the items which they collect and then supply to this Value Village store. In the case of this new Hazeldean Road store, the benefitting non-profit partners are the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy and the Canadian Diabetes Association. This new Hazeldean Road Value Village thrift store held its official grand opening on Thursday morning, July 7, with four giant red balloons drifting high above the parking lot, each held in place by a cord of red and white pennants. It was a sunny, warm, blue-sky day with the first customers lining up with their shopping carts outside the main door of the new store starting 25 minutes before the scheduled 8:30 a.m. opening ceremony. Among these initial customers, who eventually totaled more than 50, were Mary Collins, Karen Fraser and Darcie Purcell. Admitted avid Value Village customers, they wanted to be first in line to get the best buys as the store opened. Inside, awaiting them, was not only aisle after aisle of bargains but also an opportunity to win one of five $100 shopping sprees, part of the grand opening celebration. But before the doors opened, there was a brief ceremony, with store manager Gerry Mullin, an eight and a half year veteran of Value Village, pro-
says manager Gerry Mullin. Many of the items end up going to developing countries where they go to help fledgling entrepreneurs. Founded in 1954, Savers Inc., which operates under the trade name Value Village as well as several other names, is part of one of the fastest growing retail segments which involves lifestyle, economy and social trends, all coming together along with renewed interest in vintage clothing combined with environmentally and budget conscientious consumers. Last year alone, Value Village and its non-profit partners kept more than 500 million pounds of reusable goods from ending up in landfills. Savers Inc. operates in Canada, the United States and Australia, with more than 15,000 employees. By purchasing and re-selling donated items, Savers, including Value Village outlets, has paid more than one billion dollars directly to its non-profit partners over the past ten years. This turns otherwise unused items into sustainable revenue that supports the programs and services of these non-profit partners. Savers Inc. was founded by William (Bill) Ellison. His grandfather and great uncle were instrumental in building the Salvation Army’s thrift organization in the 1930’s and 1940’s. The Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting people with cerebral palsy in Ontario through programs that promote independence, inclusion, choice and full integration of persons with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy refers to a group of non-progressive, non-contagious motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement. There is no known cure. The Canadian Diabetes Association works to help people with diabetes live healthy lives. It provides education and services to those living with diabetes. It also advocates for the cause and is helping find a cure. Value Village on Hazeldean Road is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The store can be contacted at 613-836-1549.

claiming that it was great for Value Village finally being in the Stittsville/ Kanata community, something that had been anticipated for a long time. He praised his staff, who had assembled outside the front doors, many in Value Village red vests, on their hard work over the past five to six weeks, getting the store ready for opening. He introduced representatives of the store’s two benefitting non-profit partners, Kim White, representing the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy, and Debbi Barfoot of the Canadian Diabetes Association which has been running its Clothesline program for donated items for 25 years now. It was then time for the official ribbon cutting, with store manager Gerry Mullin doing the honours, cutting a red ribbon with a giant pair of scissors, with retail sales manager Jackie Riede and production manager Ron Lahaie holding the ends of the ribbon. After that, it was open the doors and let the waiting customers with their shopping cards stream into the store. Manager Gerry Mullin says that the store has almost 40 staff, some full time and some part time. Many of the staff, about 20, work in the production area where they price and tag newly arriving items and deliver them to the floor. He notes that from 5,000 to 6,000 items are added to the store’s inventory every day from Tuesday through Saturday, always ensuring something new for the shopper. He says that generally a customer can put together an outfit including pants, a top and shoes for $20 at Value Village. All of the items in a Value Village store are donated except at Halloween time when the store may bring in some brand-new Halloween costumes. Items can be donated through the non-profit charitable partners or through the Community Donation Centre right at the store where people can drop off reusable clothing and household goods. The charitable partners received funds for the items no matter how they get to the store. If donated items are not suitable for the sales floor, they are not thrown out but rather are recycled. “Our recycling efforts are probably one of the things we’re most proud of,”

Indeed, the consignment store for children’s clothes and toys now has a new logo featuring the words Dandelions and Kids, with the slug line “because they grow like weeds.” The colour scheme used for this new logo was selected by the store’s customers. Ms. Edwards put forward four different colour schemes for the logo and went with the one that the most costumers chose. Although Ms. Edwards took over ownership of the Stittsville Main Street store on Monday, May 2, from founding owners Jennifer Bergsma and Christine Kulla, she delayed her grand opening celebration until last Saturday, July 9. But this does not mean that she not been active. On the contrary, she has been very busy, not only making a few changes in the store and getting used to the consignment business but also being active in the community. She was at the Art in the Park event at the end of May, at Stittsville ward councillor’s party in the park in mid-June and at the community’s Canada Day celebrations where her game blowing giant bubbles was a great hit. Indeed, it was Ms. Edwards’ philosophy about being involved in the community that was one of the key reasons why the previous owners selected her over a number of other potential purchasers. This is a philosophy that was similar to their own as they sponsored community and special events. And speaking of special events, last Saturday’s grand opening at Dandelions was spectacular. A Princess, looking like she was right out of a Disney movie, was there doing nails and makeovers for the girls; Spiderman was there to appeal to the boys; and Bunky the Clown was there, making balloon animals and flowers and adding a colourful aspect to the proceedings. There was also a hot dog BBQ and a number of special draws for beauty products, nutritional supplements and cotton candy. And was it busy! At 9 a.m., Ms. Edwards had some doubts that perhaps no one would show up for the celebration. Well, she couldn’t have been any more wrong. By 10:30 a.m., the store was packed and busy. “The whole place was just a zoo,” Ms. Edwards said later in the day when things had quieted down somewhat. Dandelions is located on Stittsville Main Street in the downtown core of Stittsville, on the west side of the street just south of Abbott Street, and near the municipal parking lot.

It was no ordinary ribbon cutting to officially open the new Ottawa Fire Service station No. 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville on Thursday, July 7. In fact, it wasn’t a ribbon cutting at all. Rather, the ribbon was replaced by a fire hose and this is what city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and his fellow dignitaries including Sparky the fire safety dog cut to mark the opening of the new fire station. But it was not just any old fire hose and certainly was not a useable hose. Indeed, it was an old piece of fire hose which had been decommissioned and no longer of any use. This recycling of a worn out fire hose for use in the official opening ceremony was in keeping with the environmental nature of the new fire station. It is the city of Ottawa’s first LEED (Leader in Energy and Environmental Design) silver-certified fire station. The 12,250 square foot facility features radiant in-floor heating, internal air quality measures and a steel roof that attracts heat in the winter and reflects heat in the summer. The station has reduced energy consumption requirements, energy efficient windows and doors, the use of renewable and recycled materials throughout and a reduced use of toxic construction materials. “Station 46 is truly where safety meets sustainability,” mayor Watson said, calling it an “absolutely magnificent new

Fire Station No. 46 Now Open On July 7th, the City officially opened Station 46, Ottawa’s first LEED (Leader in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver-certified fire station at 34 Iber Road in Stittsville. LEED certification is accredited to buildings that have interior and exterior designs that promote green building practices. The new facility, Station 46, was built with renewable, recycled and natural materials, and has a water-efficient landscape design that controls rain water run-off. Serving approximately 40,000 residents, Station 46 is equipped with two emergency vehicles including a pumper and a pumper/tanker, and houses career and volunteer firefighters. The 1138-sq. m (12,250-sq. ft.) green facility also features radiant in-floor heating, attention to internal air quality and a steel roof that attracts heat in the winter and reflects heat in the summer. Station 46 was designed by the team of CSV Architects (structural), McKee Engineering (mechanical and electrical), Lashley and Associates (landscape), McIntosh and Perry Consulting Engineers (civil engineering), Turnbull Design Consultants (interior), and Cathcart Mechanical Performance. This station is a cornerstone addition to our growing community so I wish to welcome the dedicated men and women of Ottawa Fire Services to the district. We are proud to call you our neighbours. The ribbon cutting saw Mayor Watson, Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee, Fire Chief John deHooge, Rudy Lindia from Ottawa Fire Services, councillors Eli El-Chantiry, Allan Hubley and Scott Moffatt, Susan Jones, General Manager of Emergency and Protective Services, Steve Kanellakos, Deputy City Manager, City Operations and myself open this Silver-certified Leader in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) station. I would like to thank everyone for participating in this special event and thank the residents for coming out to support the opening of this new station.
Smoke-Free Signs for Parks and Playing Fields Ottawa Public Health (OPH) wants to help our community clear the air and make healthier outdoor spaces where children play. On May 31st, the day designated by the World Health Organization as World No Tobacco Day, Brewer Park became the latest Ottawa park designated a voluntary smoke-free outdoor space. Thanks to the efforts of community associations and groups, close to 90 neighbourhood parks are now voluntarily smoke-free. The smoke-free signs are part of an Ottawa Public Health collaboration to encourage community groups to clear the air of second-hand smoke in outdoor spaces in their neighbourhood. The signs are part of the Play, Live, Be, Tobacco Free cam-
paign which asks the public to not use tobacco products in parks and on playing fields. Recognized community associations, sports organizations and Neighbourhood Watch groups can request voluntary smoke-free signs for their local City park by calling the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744 or e-mailing healthsante@ottawa.ca. In your request, please include the name of your organization and the name of the park in your community. Thank you for helping clear the air in our neighbourhood parks and recreational areas so children and youth can Play, Live, Be, Tobacco Free.
Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit Update On July 7th, Mayor Jim Watson announced an improved tunnel alignment for Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit project. This new alignment, one block North to Queen Street, allows the tunnel to be constructed at a significantly reduced depth and remain under the street. Instead of twelve stories underground, the new alignment will only be four stories underground—making the tunnel less expensive, reducing risk, and resulting in an overall better system. The new alignment will be more accessible, offers better connectivity into existing buildings and will be more pleasant for riders. These improvements came as a result of the new Council direction to re-evaluate the previous project assumptions. With the benefit of extensive engineering done over the last 8 months, a superior and less costly option was found. This means that the Ottawa Light Rail Transit project can be delivered for $1.74 billion in 2009 dollars or $2.1 billion in inflation adjusted dollars. For more information: www.ottawalightrail.ca Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

Kurt Johnson holds a model of a three-masted ship representative of the kind of ships which brought members of the 100th Regiment of Foot to Canada from Britain in 1805. The Regiment’s voyage, which included shipwrecks and deaths, are documented in a new exhibit at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.
Regiment shipwrecked in 1805
From page 1 Provided thanks to the Goulbourn Museum, the exhibit tells how the 100th Regiment of Foot was raised in Ireland in 1804, with men enlisting to escape the famine and unemployment then prevalent in Ireland. By 1805, the 100th Regiment of Foot from the County of Dublin consisted of 900 new soldiers. On Aug. 29, 1805, 50 ships sailed from England, carrying soldiers, including those of the 100th Regiment of Foot, to North America for duty there. It was to be a six week voyage but little did anyone realize that tragedy would strike these ships carrying the 100th Regiment of Foot. The display outlines the five ships that were involved in this maritime disaster. There was the Nais (also known as the Aeneas) which was shipwrecked off Newfoundland on Oct. 23, 1805, with 347 on board, approximately 270 of which were members of the 100th Regiment of Foot. A total of 340 eventually died. Thirty-five made it to shore by raft but then most died of exposure and starvation. Hunters found five soldiers and two sailors still alive and housed them over the following winter, after which they were reunited with the Regiment at Quebec. Another of the ships was the Two Friends which was shipwrecked on Cape Breton Island on Oct. 22, 1805, with 112 on board, 32 of which were associated with the 100th Regiment. Three ended up drowning while another 18 had to be hospitalized. Another of the ships, Three Brothers, was damaged by the hurricane-induced weather and ended up docking in Nova Scotia on Oct. 22, 1805. There were 200 on board, half of whom were members of the Regiment. There was no loss of life. The Eagle, another of the ships, was damaged by the weather but ended up reaching Quebec City on Nov. 14, 1805. It had up to 400 on board , with an estimated 250 from the Regiment. There was no loss of life.
The Osborne was the fifth ship. It too was damaged on the voyage but also docked at Quebec City on Nov. 14, 1805. It also had up to 400 on Board, with 250 from the Regiment. There was no loss of life. The display case associated with the ArtSpace wall at the library features information about the tough conditions prevalent at this time in Ireland. The industrial revolution had resulted in the displacement of the traditional hand weavers, creating unemployment in the country. The display case also shows some of the items which the soldiers of the 100th Regiment might have had with them onboard ship during the voyage to North America. This includes a jug, a flask, a tin cup and a wooden box. This display about the maritime disaster that befell the 100th Regiment of Foot on its voyage to North America is publicized within the library branch itself thanks to the presence of a model threemasted ship representational of the ships of that 1805 period. This model ship, provided thanks to Kurt Johnson of Munster who also worked with Goulbourn Museum staff in preparing the text for the ArtSpace wall exhibit, is surrounded by a bevy of books dealing with sailing and 19th century seafaring tales such as those of Horatio Hornblower. A sign beside the model ship directs people to the ArtSpace wall display. Among the books on display around the ship is “For King and Canada” by the late A. Barry Roberts which tells the story of the 100th Regiment of Foot including a chapter on the maritime disaster which befell the Regiment on its voyage to North America and which is the subject of the ArtSpace wall exhibit. This exhibit about the voyage of the 100th Regiment of Foot will be on display on the ArtSpace wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library until Thursday, Aug. 4. The ArtSpace wall is located in the right rear area of the Stittsville library branch.

EDITORIAL
Wow, what a story!
It’s the stuff of movies. Imagine, perhaps with Tom Hanks playing the lead, of a group of British soldiers and sailors shipwrecked off Newfoundland, with some taking to a raft and making it to shore. Decisions are made to seek help and some go off inland, never to be seen again. Eventually, of the 35 who survived the shipwreck, seven are found by island hunters who help them through the winter and then return them to civilization in the spring. The survivors then go on to reunite with their fellow soldiers at Quebec City and eventually go on to fight in the War of 1812 and then become pioneer settlers in a pristine land. Such a story would make a great movie – it has all of the ingredients for success – trag-
edy, survival, battling the environment, meeting with strange inhabitants of a foreign land, reuniting with friends. And yet, this is not some piece of fiction. It is what actually happened, back in 1805 off the shore of Newfoundland. And it happened to soldiers of the 100th Regiment of Foot, the very Regiment which later, in 1818, provided the first settlers in Richmond and Goulbourn where they became ancestors of some of today’s residents. Who said that Canadian history was uninteresting or boring? The only problem is not with its substance, only with its publicity. That is why we are so fortunate here in Goulbourn to have an active Historical Society and a flourishing Museum. The
history of this area is being researched and preserved. And part of this history is the story of this maritime disaster off the coast of Newfoundland and the floundering of another four ships, all involved in transporting the newly formed 100th Regiment of Foot from Britain to the Regiment’s new posting in Canada. Thanks to the Goulbourn Museum, the story of this maritime disaster which, in fact, was one of the worst such seafaring tragedies ever in Canada given the loss of 340 lives, is now on display on the ArtSpace wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. So, if you can, pay a visit to the Stittsville library branch and take a look at the display about this 1805 maritime disaster.
CAPITAL MUSE
The deprivation vacation isn’t so bad after all “Deprivation is not my idea of my vacation,” a neighbour said flatly when I asked if she’d like to join us for a camping weekend in Gatineau Park. I was sympathetic. After all, sleeping on the hard ground, often in the cold, kids wetting their sleeping bags after one too many marshmallows, black flies swarming around, in and under hair, having to run through the woods to get to an outhouse that smells like a pig barn. What’s to love? And after a week of running around gathering dry food for the occasion, not quite meeting deadlines, and purchasing oversized bathing suits (ugh), I wasn’t sure I wanted to go either. Not to mention the fact that my husband, who’s normally pretty well behaved, had been drowning our broken dining tent in French-Catholic blasphemy all week long. “Maybe we shouldn’t go,” I ventured, as my spouse said something about Holy Com-
munion, which I deemed to be out of place in the conversation. “Maybe it’s too much work. Maybe we should just stay here and go for a picnic one day.” But he insisted. I could see in his eyes the look that said, ‘if we don’t go, you’ll spend the whole weekend on your computer and you’ll be utterly miserable by the end and you’ll blame everyone else for your misery.’ True. Because, for me, well, there’s just something about camping. “It’s the only time I can truly relax,” said a friend of ours one weekend around the campfire. He’s a renovations contractor who built his own house ten years ago. Like the gardener’s garden, his house is never truly finished, and he spends all his spare time throughout the winter putting trim on windows and caulking the sink. I totally get it. At home, regardless of whether you “work” there or not, there’s always something to be done.
But when you’re camping, well, there’s the ability to just relax and shut out the world. No housework, no phone calls, no emails, no clocks. We wake up with the birds and take the day at the pace that works. We eat when we’re hungry and nap when we’re sleepy. In between, we swim and hike and read and play ball. Sounds glorious, doesn’t it? I know what you’re thinking: But what if it rains? What if one of the kids drinks wonky lake water and has diarrhea? What if a tick bites me and I get Lyme disease? I can assure you that the latter two have never happened. And rain? Well, sometimes it rains. Last Labour Day weekend, for example, we decided to tempt fate and the weather man and head out for four nights at Lac Philippe. Friends that were meant to join us dared not brave the stormy forecast. But annual tradition – the fact that my
husband and I first met there nine years earlier on Labour Day weekend – dictated that we go, regardless of the weather. The first two days, in fact, we had glorious sunshine and an empty beach to ourselves. We walked through the lovely artisan town of Wakefield, took in some live music by local folk singer Lindsay Ferguson at the market, and stopped by the tiny library to pick up a stack of used magazines in the foyer. The second two days, it pretty much downpoured. Not to have our spirits dampened, we decided to make the most of it.

While my beloved husband and children hooked worms onto fishing rods, I kicked back in my zero gravity chair in the dining tent and read archival copies of Harrowsmith Country Life Magazine.

New school to be called Westwind Public School JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The new elementary school now under construction on Hartsmere Drive in Stittsville will be called Westwind Public School. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has officially chosen this name for the new school, the conclusion of a process that began last April with over 40 possible names submitted by community and school community members. This list was eventually narrowed down to eleven suggestions which in turn ended up being vetted among parents of the school’s future students. The School Naming Task Force then met to discuss the results of the informal online survey and other input and after discussion, the selected name was recommended to the Board. The name is drawn from the developer’s name
for one of the subdivisions in the area of the school, Westwind. “It has a short and fresh feeling to it,” Ottawa Carleton District School Board area trustee Lynn Scott says in talking about the new school’s name. She points out that the name is easy to say, easy to spell and has good possibilities for team and mascot names. She also notes that the name fits in which the vision and expectations which the community has expressed for the new school. Other names that were shortlisted included Stittsville native and National Hockey League player Matt Bradley; first Stittsville postmaster and entrepreneur Jackson Stitt, wheelchair marathoner Rick Hansen, Holocaust survivor Eva Olsson, former Governor-General Michaelle Jean. First World War military leader Sir Arthur Currie; geographi-
cal names such as Hartsmere, Upcountry and Village Public School; and Daisey Jinkinson, a longtime Stittsville teacher who passed away recently. The name Daisey Jinkinson is still going to be associated with this new school as the school’s library will be named the Daisey Jinkinson Library in her honour. Trustee Scott pointed out that this is similar to the situation at the existing Stittsville Public School where the library has been named after Sergeant Marc Leger, a Canadian soldier who was killed in Afghanistan and whose parents live in Stittsville. Daisey Jinkinson, who died last March at the age of 97, taughter in various rural schools before spending 21 years at Stittsville Public School, retiring in 1978.

Megan Cornell running for Liberals JOHN CURRY

The battle lines are drawn. In one corner, we have Megan Cornell. Liberal. Community activist. Self-proclaimed consensus builder who claims to mirror the provincial Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding’s image as a family oriented, high tech, community based haven. In the other corner, we have Jack MacLaren. Progressive Conservative. The former president of the Ontario Landowners Association, who defeated longtime Progressive Conservative incumbent MPP Norm Sterling in a hotly contested nomination battle earlier this year. And in round one of this fight for electoral victory in the upcoming Oct. 6 provincial election in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding, the Liberal Cornell has come out swinging at her opponent. Speaking at her nomination meeting on Saturday, July 9 at the Kanata Recreation Centre in Kanata, Ms. Cornell portrayed herself as a consensus builder whose experience working in the community means that she can best represent the riding and its residents at Queen’s Park. “I do not believe that a divisive, one issue candidate – someone who does not represent my friends, family, neighbours, community members and colleagues – should be our voice at Queen’s Park and be entrusted with the crucial needs of our whole riding,” she said, talking about Mr. MacLaren. She even quoted current MPP Norm Sterling in claiming that Jack MacLaren and MPP Randy Hillier, also a former president of the Ontario Landowners Association, are trying to take advantage of a centrist riding and its history of voting for the Conservatives to sneak their far right fringe agenda into government. “But we are not a riding of angry Randy Hilliers and Jack MacLarens, intent on dividing our community and pitting ourselves against each other,” Ms. Cornell said. She then went on to recite what she believes the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding is – a place with an internationally renowned technology community, a riding full of kids in hockey rinks and on soccer fields, a culturally diverse community with a thriving arts sector and sophisticated retirees, and an area of thriving small towns and cohesive suburban communities. “There is one other thing,” she said. “We’re the riding of the Ottawa Senators.” Ms. Cornell portrayed herself as someone who will fight for the interests of families and individuals in the riding, such as working for a health hub facility like the one currently being developed in Orleans. Such a health hub would have a specialty seniors diagnosis centre, youth mental health facilities, family health teams and other health services. She also pledged to a watchdog over education issues, helping solve overcrowding issues in local schools and championing the need for new schools in the area. As a daily user of public transit, she painted herself as a person who knows the importance of an efficient and affordable public transit system. As a former president of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce, she came out in support of supporting the business com-
munity. “Small businesses really do form the backbone of our community,” she said, noting their role not only in providing jobs but ensuring that local communities are thriving and liveable places. She advocated a continuing promotion of research and innovation, citing the need to have a local MPP who works daily with high tech companies. “We cannot lose the mantle of Silicon Valley North,” Ms. Cornell said. A mother of two young sons, she portrayed herself as the candidate “who understands the pressures of raising a family in this hectic, just-in-time life that so many of us lead.” Calling Mr. MacLaren a one issue candidate interested only in rural landowner rights, she called herself a tax paying fiscal conservative who understands and values the public services that people receive. “We need a representative with new ideas helping to move our province forward for the next decade, not someone intent on reversing amalgamation,” Ms. Cornell said, another criticism of Mr. MacLaren. She cited her work as co-chair of the Kanata North Accommodation Review Committee for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, her presidency of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce and her involvement in the initial work for a health hub facility in Kanata. She said that as an MPP she would work with the many groups and individuals in the community for its betterment. “I won’t always have the answers but the difference between Jack and myself is that every person in this riding will find my door open and me willing to listen and help find a solution to whatever their issue is,” she said. Ms. Cornell received a standing ovation from the 80 in attendance at the nomination meeting, many of whom were wearing red Megan Cornell t-shirts. The Carleton-Mississippi Mills provincial riding includes Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Kanata, West Carleton and Mississippi Mills.

How to fix our crumbling infrastructure BY DAVID FLEISCHER AND NICOLE VISSCHEDYK
O
ntario commmunities are spending unprecedented time and money on how to pay for fixes to our crumbling infrastructure, the roads, water systems, schools and other public buildings that underpin daily life. Funds are in short supply to repair, upgrade or rebuild aging facilities, despite billions of dollars in stimulus funds in the last few years. From the Ottawa region to Metro Toronto to the near north, the pressure comes at a time when many communities are already experiencing budget problems. Ottawa’s public infrastructure assets are valued at $14 billion. Those assets depreciate at a rate of over $200 million per year. Council has allocated about $30 million for infrastructure renewal in 2011. The city says it should be spending more than twice that amount for repair and replacement but doesn’t have the funds. And although Ontario and federal funding will continue, exactly how these programs will be run is not yet clear. NDP Leader Jack Layton and other
Recent Infrastructure Spending • Provincewide spending on 1,400 municipal projects from all three levels of government totalled about $3.4 billion over the last two years. • This included the $1.85 billion (split between Ontario and Ottawa) doled out in Ontario through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF). Other investments included $408 million through the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund and the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RINC) fund that allowed for $500 million of renovations at hockey arenas and other recreational facilities across the country.
opposition politicians say they worry the senior, cash-strapped governments will place a lower priority on municipal infrastructure now. By the province’s own estimates, there is $100 billion worth of unrepaired or unbuilt infrastructure in Ontario, with no funds available to fix or build it. That infrastructure gap can be seen more clearly every day in roadway sinkholes, flooded storm systems and deteriorating public buildings. Ontario communities are struggling without success to meet their infrastructure needs, despite several years of stimulus funding. While the
$3.4-billion infrastructure program created jobs and helped kick-start the economy, even Ontario Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli concedes the stimulus programs made only a “dent.” “I think it will be a long time before it will be easy, but collectively, we need to do it smarter,” Chiarelli acknowledged. A Metroland Special Report shows Ontario communities increasingly are borrowing and going into debt – some for the first time in decades – to deal with a worsening situation. Long-term needs are overwhelming. Just last week, the City of
If Ontario was your house, it would be on the verge of falling apart. The roof needs reshingling, the electrical system is ailing and the furnace is on its last legs. Forget about the fact the bathroom hasn’t been redone since the 1970s. You’ve taken loans and are maxing out credit cards to pay for just part of what needs to be done. A Metroland Special Report shows that’s the situation for Ontario municipalities as they struggle to fix our crumbling infrastructure – the roads, buildings, water and sewer systems that underpin our daily life. The First in a Three-Part Series
Ottawa decided to borrow $200 million for capital projects. Metroland surveyed municipalities for data on everything from the amount of money received from the federal government and Queen’s Park to longterm infrastructure needs. (See chart.) • More than half have introduced a tax or levy specifically to help pay for infrastructure projects (Ottawa introduced such a levy in 2006 but abandoned it by the third year, which happened to be an election year); • More than half measure their expected capital costs over the next decade in billions of dol-
lars, including York at $8 billion by 2020 (figures for Ottawa were unavailable because the city’s long-range financial plan was up for review this year, but the capital portion was delayed); • Three-quarters report they are currently short at least $160 million for future infrastructure repairs and upgrades; • Mississauga, which hasn’t had to borrow since 1978, projects $446 million in debt over the next 10 years. Brampton, debt free at the moment, expects to start incurring debt as early as 2012; • Almost half are carrying debt loads in excess of $600 per resident.

The consequences are significant. • In Wainfleet, more than 1,000 homes are entering the sixth year of a boil water advisory after Niagara Region decided against the $120-million cost of connecting the community to Port Colborne’s water system; • To close the local infrastructure gap, every Toronto resident would have to pay more than $1,000 extra on their property tax bill. In Prince Edward County and in Perth, the figure is closer to $2,000; • In Hamilton, roads that are supposed to be resurfaced within 35 years are now on a 110-year cycle; • Sinkholes are more common, opening huge gaps in roadways when broken underground pipes collapse or the surface gives out; • Severe weather and crumbling storm systems make certain older neighbourhoods across Ontario more vulnerable to basement flooding; • In Durham, traffic on a badly deteriorating heritage bridge has been curtailed until the $800,000 in required funding is found; • In Huntsville, where more than $100 million flowed in funding for the G8 summit and federal-provincial stimulus, no assistance was available to renovate several small community halls to make them handicapped ac-

A M E T R O L A N D M E D I A S P E C I A L R E P O RT cessible. Part of the problem is that recent government stimulus funds went to “shovel ready” projects, rather than those most in need of attention, says Saeed Mirza, professor emeritus of engineering at McGill University. “The stimulus (program) was to create jobs, not to spend money where we needed,” he said. “Our infrastructure is in very dire straits and we need to act urgently.” The balance of Ontario’s infrastructure is now of an age where it needs replacement or repair. About 60 per cent of buildings, roads, water and other systems are more than 50 years old. Almost a third of the province’s infrastructure is more than 90 years old. Guelph is a good example of what that means. About 40 per cent of the city’s $1.3 billion worth of infrastructure is at the end of its life cycle now. Almost every community has a Centennial building of some kind, a library or an arena, built in a massive construction boom during Canada’s 1967 celebrations. About 2,500 such buildings are now in need of – but not funded for – repairs. “There are really harsh, stark realities coming soon,” said Pat Vanini, executive director of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
Tackling Ottawa’s growing debt LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com
In the last term of council, the City of Ottawa did attempt to take action regarding its growing infrastructure debt – but it didn’t last. Council imposed a levy in 2006 that would add money to a reserve fund dedicated to tackling infrastructure renewal. At a two per cent increase over and above property tax increases each year, the additional fee didn’t last. “We stayed true to our principles for one year, and by the second year we had watered it down and by the third year we abandoned that principle,” said Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess, who championed an attempt to reintroduce the levy in the final year of the last council’s term. After the first year it was slashed to one per cent, and by the third year of the term – with another election approaching – the levy was axed entirely. “If bridges are falling down or roads are crumbling, what does it take to fix them?” Bloess said. “We know that if you don’t invest in your infrastructure at the right time – in maintaining infrastructure – you are going to pay way more down the line.”
The city’s approach is to do only what it can afford – and that’s the wrong answer, Bloess said. “Affordability is obviously an issue,” he said. “But the real issue should be: What do you need to do to maintain your infrastructure? What is it going to cost you?” Bloess said he doesn’t think this new council has the appetite to approach infrastructure renewal that way, but the debate still needs to happen. That debate may take place in the fall, when city councillors will discuss a long-range financial plan, including a plan for city-funded capital projects. The report was supposed to be done by late spring, but it’s taking longer to identify exactly what Ottawa’s needs are for capital infrastructure. The city’s last long-range financial plan, which ended this year, stated: “It is imperative that a strategy be developed that will ensure that our assets are protected and maintained at the lowest long-term cost to our taxpayers.” On average, Ottawa spends about 35 per cent of what it should be spending on infrastructure renewal.

St. Stephen School says farewell to grade six’ers SPECIAL TO THE NEWS St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville said farewell to 50 grade six students in a ceremony on Monday, June 27. These students are now moving on to grade seven at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. In her remarks at this grade six farewell ceremony, principal Mary Anne Cowan told the students that they had helped shape the school’s culture and through their contributions have helped make the school a wonderful place. She praised them for participating in so many school spirit activities and told them that they are now equipped with skills and abilities that will serve them well in the next step of their life, their years at Sacred Heart. Noting that this was the third grade six class to leave St. Stephen since it opened, she noted that Catholic education is grounded in a triangle of support – home and family, parish and school. She said that each corner of the triangle contributes to the success of the education. Each of the grade six students received a certificate acknowledging the completion of their elementary schooling at St. Stephen Catholic School. A number of awards recognizing individual achievements and accomplishments were presented at the ceremony. The Kiwanis Citizenship Award, recognizing a student who has demonstrated the qualities of good citizenship, was pre-
sented to Jacob Rossanese. The Creative Arts Award recognizing a student who has exhibited an aptitude in drama, music, dance and art went to Reilly Moore. The Male and Female Athletic Awards for excelling in many components of the school’s physical education program were presented to Mitchell Usher and Quinn Murphy respectively. The Father Steve Amesse Christian Excellence Award was presented to Antonio Faranda. This award goes to a student who exemplifies outstanding Christian values. The St. Stephen French Award for demonstrating a love of the French language by participating in discussions during French class went to Haley Turcotte for the extended French program and Hayley Woodside for the French Immersion program. The Academic Award given to one student from each grade six class who has demonstrated the ability to work to a high standard across the curriculum went to Alexandre Boucher for Mr. Derek Rodgers’ class and Jessica Perigo for Mrs. Michelle Tierney’s class. The Director of Education Award, presented to a student who best exemplifies all or most of the Gospel values of faith, community, partnership, persons, excellence and stewardship, went to Kyle Kuehni. The ceremony wound up with a slide show featuring scenes from activities at the school over the past school year.

Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville entered grade seven/eight school teams in every sport possible this past school year. This meant that Sacred Heart teams participated in over 20 recognized sports. In addition, Sacred Heart teams participated in various invitational tournaments. Sacred Heart even had a ping pong or table tennis team which was an official intermediate level sport this past year. Next year there will be even more official intermediate level sports with rugby and lacrosse joining the lineup. Both of these new sports will also be taught in physical education class as well. At Sacred Heart’s recent annual grade seven/ eight athletic awards assembly, all of these various teams were recognized for their efforts. In addition, the most valuable player and most sportsmanlike player on each team were singled out and presented with appropriate medals by their coach. For the assembly, tables draped with red and white coverings lined the stage, holding the various medals, trophies and even red sweaters which were handed out during the assembly. In addition, five championship banners were hanging behind these tables, each banner representing a school championship including those in touch rugby, swimming and midget girls’ basketball. Teacher Alain Gareau, who is the curriculum leader for grade seven/eight physical education, told the students at the assembly that the goal of sports is to be active and to participate. He told the story of how the contrite actions of one of the players on the boys’ softball team made such a positive impression on the opposition after his batted ball had hit and injured the opposing pitcher. At the end of the day, it is this kind of behaviour that is what really matters, not whether a championship banner is achieved or not, he said. The assembly featured a steady stream of recognizing the various sports teams and acknowledging their most valuable and most sportsmanlike players. A wide gamut of sports was involved – girls flag rugby, wrestling, boys’ handball, girls’ soccer, boys’ volleyball, table tennis or ping pong, co-ed ultimate Frisbee, cross country running, girls’ floor ball, boys’ soccer and boys’ futsal. Championship teams were called up en masse on stage to receive their medals and the applause of their fellow students. The grade seven/eight girls’ basketball team was noted for its amazing two year record of going a full two seasons without losing a game while chalking up 18 wins and two straight championships. The grade seven/eight boys’ floor ball team also ended the season with a second straight championship. There were two grade seven/eight boys’ hockey teams which entered two different tournaments. Coach Andy Frias told how the team was losing 6-0 in one tournament but then got it all together and ended up winning the game 7-6. “It was the most incredible victory I have ever witnessed,” coach Frias said. 437099

Amberwood BBQ at Fourth of July event The Fourth of July celebration at the Rockcliffe Park residence of the United States ambassador is always one of the most sought after happenings on the Ottawa area’s annual social calendar. And it was no different this year, as U.S. ambassador David Jacobson and his wife Julie entertained 4,000 guests at this year’s event which had a backyard barbecue theme. And right there in the thick of things was none other than Stittsville’s own Amberwood BBQ. This was the first time that Amberwood BBQ was at the 4th of July party at the U.S. ambassador’s residence. Amberwood BBQ was one of six teams that took part in what Ed Tang of Amberwood BBQ describes as “the most friendly, social and relaxing contest I’ve been involved in.” For Amberwood BBQ and the contest
competitors, it was more than just a one day stand. Amberwood BBQ first set up at the U.S. ambassador’s residence on July 2nd, just a day after cooking up a storm at the Canada Day celebrations right here in Stittsville. During the three days that Amberwood BBQ and the other competitors were on the grounds, ambassador Jacobson talked to them several times, curious about their setup. The American embassy even took official group and individual photos with them to mark the occasion. Amberwood BBQ, like the other teams in this “friendly” competition, had at least one person on site at the ambassador’s residence all the time. That’s because in a BBQ contest, competitors are cooking for long periods of time. While recipes are kept a secret, the cooking is done “low and slow,” using wood or charcoal, at something like 225 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for about six hours. This brings out the smoke flavours. There is

It promises to be a lot of fun. A sign up sheet is posted at the Legion Hall.

no boiling or steaming of ribs here. Pulled pork takes 12 hours of cooking while beef brisket takes over 14 hours. Amberwood BBQ got invited to the 4th of July event after one of the other competitors had to drop out at the last minute. Ed Tang of Amberwood BBQ had put out inquiries about participating when he first heard about the barbecue theme earlier this year but it was only a week before the event that he received his invitation to participate. There were over 4,000 guests at the 4th of July party, all of whom were served smoked pork ribs, pulled pork and smoked chicken. This is the largest 4th of July party outside of the United States. The BBQ contest at the event consisted of three Canadian teams versus three American teams, all of whom cooked the same three meats which were judged by a group of 12 judges. This participation in the 4th of July party at the U.S. ambassador’s residence is only the latest of what is turning out to be a sensational year for Amberwood BBQ. At the Gloucester Fair at the end of May, Amberwood BBQ won the grand championship in the “Smoked to the Bone” competition there which involved 13 professional and 13 amateur teams, with $10,000 in prize money up for grabs. Sanctioned by the Canadian Southern BBQ Association, the two man Amberwood BBQ team of Ed Tang and Ray
Barkhouse collected $3,350 in prize money - $2,000 for the grand championship, $1,000 for placing first in the pork shoulder category, and $250 for being third in the chicken category. Amberwood BBQ was also fourth in brisket. This was the fourth time that Amberwood BBQ has participated in this competition. Amberwood BBQ was started five years ago and caters Southern BBQ year round in the Ottawa area and beyond. Amberwood BBQ has been at the Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville as well as at the Relay For Life event in Stittsville. It all began when Ed Tang of Stittsville, who admits to loving food and cooking, looked out one day at his little smoker in his backyard and he got the idea to do Southern BBQ’ing as a business. “A light bulb went off ” is how Ed describes that moment. Weekends in the summertime are particularly busy for Amberwood BBQ but it does do BBQ catering year round. Much of Amberwood BBQ’s business comes from word of mouth – quite literally since once people have it in their mouth and taste it, they are hooked on it – that’s how good the real Southern BBQ done by Amberwood BBQ is. Amberwood BBQ can handle by itself barbecues for people numbering in the hundreds. Its biggest cook so far has been for 550 people but it has the capacity to serve even more people, depending on the menu.

Goulbourn Sea Hawks swimmers have stepped it up a notch. Last year the Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club placed eighth overall in the Long Course Regional Championship. This year the Sea Hawks zoomed up three places, finishing in fifth overall at the recent Eastern Ontario Regional Championship Swim Meet at the Nepean Sportsplex. This happened because Sea Hawks swimmers captured a total of 34, yes 34, individual medals as well as three relay
race medals. Talk about a strong performance. It was a true team effort. Leading the way in the medal count for the Goulbourn Sea Hawks were swimmers Jayden Cole and Libby Hetherington. Both swimmers earned six gold medals and one silver medal each. This may not quite match the eight gold medals won by American swimmer Michael Phelps in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing but it sure is coming close. Both Jayden Cole and Libby Hetherington won individual high point awards in their age category for the meet. Jayden won the 11 year old boys’ high point award while Libby won the award in the
12 year old girls’ category. And what is even more amazing, this was the second straight year that Jayden and Libby had won the high point award in their age category in this Regional Championship Swim Meet. Wow! The heroics of Jayden and Libby in the pool led the way for the Goulbourn Sea Hawks but other Sea Hawks swimmers also made big contributions to the team’s success at this Regional Championship. Thomas Knox had two firsts, two seconds and two thirds – way to go, Thomas! Nick Barry had a first, second and two thirds while Matthew Hayward had a first, second and third.
Tara Hetherington had a first as well as a third while Schae Dunlop chalked up a second and a third. Sara Gilboe had a second place finish while both Joe Tischer and Alexa Hadley had third place finishes to their credit. The relay team of Logan Moffitt, Thomas Knox, Max Cole and Jack Muse had two third place finishes at the meet while the relay team of Tara Hetherington, Libby Hetherington, Schae Dunlop and Sophia Andrukaitis had a third place finish. The Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club trains at the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville.

What’s a second here or there? Well, in real life, perhaps not much but in the pool, in a competitive swim meet, saving a second or seconds can make all the difference. Just ask Goulbourn Sea Hawks swimmer Jayden Cole. He has become the first Goulbourn Sea Hawks swimmer to win a gold medal at the Junior
Provincials Swim Meet in Etobicoke, winning the provincial title in the 200 backstroke with a convincing win in which he dropped four seconds off his personal best time. In fact, he came within two seconds of matching the meet record in the event. In fact, his winning time is the best for an 11 year old swimmer in all of Canada this year by almost three full seconds. Jayden attributes his speedy times to

his rigorous training. Jayden also won a silver medal in the 100 metre backstroke event as well as two bronze medals, one in the 100 metre freestyle event and one in the 400 metre freestyle event. What an awesome weekend of racing for Jayden! Goulbourn Sea Hawks swimmer Libby Hetherington also had an awesome performance at the Junior Provincials Swim Meet, capturing the silver medal in the 200 metre breaststroke and narrowly missing the bronze medal in the 100 metre breaststroke by two tenths of a second. We were talking seconds; now we are talking tenths of a second. In any case, both of Libby’s times, in both the 100 metre and 200 metre breaststroke events, has qualified her to attend the Junior National Championship Meet in Calgary, Alberta next year. What an achievement! Goulbourn Sea Hawks swimmer Schae Dunlop dropped a whopping 27 seconds in the 400 metre individual medley event at the Junior Provincials. Her time qualifies as her pre-requisite time for competing in the Provincials in two years’ time. Schae also dropped six seconds in her 200 metre freestyle event. So she was really speeding through the water at this Junior Provincials Swim Meet. Nick Barry of the Goulbourn
Sea Hawks Swim Club was not to be outdone at the Junior Provincials as he dropped almost six seconds off his time in the 200 metre butterfly event. He also chopped over a second off his time in his 100 metre breaststroke event. Could you say that this happened “in the Nick of time”? Members of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club
are now all behind swimmer Libby Hetherington as she prepares to compete in the Junior Nationals in Montreal at the end of this month. This will be the final competitive swim for a Goulbourn Sea Hawks in the 2011 season. All of the Sea Hawks – swimmers and coaches – are wishing Libby good luck in this upcoming meet.

‘Clap in’ launches leaving ceremony A “clap in” began the grade six leaving ceremony at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond on Monday, June 27. The 16 grade six students who are going on to grade seven at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville entered the gymnasium, site of the leaving ceremony, after walking down a hallway lined with students, all clapping to honour the 16 and to wish them well as they move on in their education. St. Philip principal Kathy Fischer welcomed the 16 students to the grade six leaving ceremony, after which Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee John Curry congratulated them on their achievement of completing their elementary school education. He pointed out that this elementary school education had introduced them to skills such as reading, writing, mathematics and their faith that they will now use throughout the rest of their lives. Following a liturgy which involved the participation of all of the grade six students, the grade six leaving certificates were presented to each of the 16 grade six students. These students, the school’s class of 2011, are William An-
derson, Austin Ayotte, Jaydan Cooke, Dylan Crozier, Jacob Fitzmorris, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Justin Kerr, Brianna McDonald, Riley McKellar, Emily Meszaros, Fraser Robertson, Christopher Stamos, Tyler Stewart, Kiersten Van Gaal, Aidan Weichenthal and Brendan Yannoulopoulos. The valedictorian address for this class of 2011 was delivered by Jacob Fitzmorris who recounted the fun and laughter which the students had experienced during the past school year. He cited some of the memorable moments which the grade six students had experienced during the past year, such as the year-end trip to St. Bridget’s Camp, outings to the Richmond Fair and an Ottawa 67’s game, serving as milk and bus monitors and being reading buddies with grade one students. Jacob also noted that the students had learned about a variety of topics during the past year, ranging from the solar system to family life education. He said that the students are now looking forward to going on to high school where they will be making new friends while also maintaining their existing friendships. A number of awards for individual achievement and accomplishments were presented at the ceremony.
The Director of Education Award went to Ryan Fitzpatrick. This award goes to a student who best exemplifies the gospel values of “Believing, Discovering and Achieving.” The Outstanding Achievement Award for overall academic achievement, participation and effort in all areas of the curriculum was presented to Emily Meszaros. There were four recipients of the Academic Award recognizing students who have worked at a high standard of achievement across the curriculum throughout the school year. These four recipients were Aidan Weichanthal, Emily Meszaros, Jacob Fitzmorris and William Anderson. The Male and Female Athlete of the Year Awards went to Kiersten Van Gaal and Austin Ayotte. The Award for Excellence in Writing was presented to Aidan Weichanthal while the Award for Excellence in Science went to Jacob Fitzmorris. The Award for Excellence in French, recognizing high achievement in French, was presented to William Anderson. The Award for Excellence in Mathematics also went to William Anderson, as did the Award for Excellence in the Arts. The McBane/Anderson Award for Overall Achieve-
ment, named after two former St. Philip principals, went to Kiersten Van Gaal. This award recognizes a student who demonstrates leadership and school spirit. The Kiwanis Club Award for Citizenship was presented to Ryan Fitzpatrick and Fraser Robertson. The Pope John Paul II Award for Gospel Values sponsored by the St. Philip Catholic Women’s League was presented to Brianna McDonald. This award is presented to a female student who exemplifies Biblical and Christian values. The Pope John Paul II Award for Gospel Values sponsored by the St. Philip Knights of Columbus was presented to Christopher Stamos. This award goes to a male student who gives of his time without reservation and carries out assignments willingly and cheerfully. The ceremony wound up with a song sung by Ryan Fitzpatrick, who accompanied himself on the guitar, and a slide show featuring the activities at the school over the past year. A reception for the grade six students and their families was then held at the adjacent St. Philip Church Hall where there was a cake featuring a lighthouse and bearing all of the names of the grade six students.

Reading Club The Red Maple Reading Club at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville is just that – a club for readers. It allows those students in grade seven and eight who wish to read a variety of fiction and non-fiction books, along with students from across the province. Once participating students have read at least five of the selected books, they have the privilege of vot-
ing for their favourite author. For the 2010-2011 school year, Sacred Heart’s Red Maple Reading Club had 27 regular participants who met each week during their lunch break to discuss their ideas about the books which they had read. Of these regular participants, 19 of them read at least five books, qualifying to vote in the favourite author balloting. Three of the participants were real reading enthusiasts as they read all of the 20 books selected as reading mate-
rial for Red Maple Reading Club members. These three voracious readers were Maaike Gooderham, Nicholas Kuzmochka and Cacia Ploeg. The other 16 students who read at least five books were Cate Boucher, Catherine Copley, Jessica Dassanayake, Geraldine Diaz, Tracy Huynh, Jordan Ingram, Zoe Kaiser, Mikhaila Kavanagh, Grace Lilly, Brenna Mullen, Rachel Shavrnoch, Kristina Toppari, Amy VanWell, Andrea Vervoort, Rebekah Walker and Bernard Wansi.

‘Nine’ in class of 2011 SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The number “nine” means different things to different people. To some, it means the sweater number worn by some of the greatest hockey players: Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard and Bobby Hull. To others, it means one half of an 18-hole round of golf. To yet others, it refers to the 1982 Broadway musical that won the Tony Award for best musical. And to yet others, it is simply the number between eight and ten. But to the members of the class of 2011 at Munster Elementary School, nine represents the number of students in the class. These nine students are now going on to grade six elsewhere but they were feted and honoured at a grade five leaving ceremony at Munster Elementary School on Wednesday afternoon, June 29. The nine members of the class of 2011
are Mathew Banning, Jenny Donoghue, Lucas Henkel, Jeremy Jimmo, Raegen Jones, Cole Metcalfe, Darby O’Neill, Jake Oracheski and Noah Roller. Besides the presentation of grade five leaving certificates to each of these nine students, the ceremony also saw the presentation of four awards for individual accomplishment and achievement. The Kiwanis Citizenship Award to recognize a student who has demonstrated the qualities of good citizenship was presented to Jenny Donoghue. Noah Roller received the Academic Achievement Award while Darby O’Neill was presented with the Most Improved Student Award. The French Award went to Jake Oracheski. The grade five leaving ceremony also included a slide show of activities over the past school year as well as a farewell address by principal Mr. Iain Slingerland.

Have wheels, will travel. And that’s just what 93 year old Margaret Kessels of Fringewood Village North in Stittsville is able to do now, thanks to the generosity of Fringewood Village landlord Phil Sweetnam and the Stittsville District Lions Club. The longest serving resident of Fringewood Village North with over 40 years of residency, Margaret lost her driver’s license last August. When Mr. Sweetnam recently was visiting with her, as he does on occasion with many of Fringewood residents, he learned that Margaret was thinking of getting a motorized scooter to help her get around and maintain her active schedule. Phil went online to determine if there were any better deals there than could be found at local outlets where the price of a new scooter was about $3,500. He found one that was almost brand new and which met Margaret’s wishes, specifically that it be a four wheel rather than a three wheel model. And the price was right - $1,700. While he and Margaret were
going to cover the cost, Phil decided to ask the Stittsville District Lions Club if it wanted to help out with the purchase. The Stittsville District Lions Club generously came back with a $1,000 donation, facilitating the purchase with Phil and Margaret handling the remainder of the purchase price. “I’m thrilled to have an organization like the Lions Club in the community,” Mr. Sweetnam says, adding that he is grateful for the way in which the Lions support the local community, whether in the form of help for the Stittsville Food Bank or assisting with projects like this scooter purchase for Margaret Kessels. The Lions are always there to help with important causes in the community, he adds. Margaret has now had the scooter for several weeks and has used it to travel from her Fringewood Village North home to the swimming pool at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club on Springbrook Drive. She will eventually use it to travel for shopping at Giant Tiger and other errands in the community but she is still getting familiar with its operation. She drapes a safety vest over
the back of the seat so that her presence is more obvious to approaching motorists. Currently she drives the scooter in the bicycle lane on the newly reconstructed Hazeldean Road but eventually she may travel along the sidewalk. Margaret enjoys living in
Fringewood Village North where many friends and neighbours keep an eye open for her well being. Margaret has been a longtime activist in the community. She instructed an exercise club for seniors for years, only giving up the role when she turned 90 years of age.
She currently parks the dark blue coloured scooter, which also has a carrying basket, in her laneway beside her home, covering it with a barbecue cover to keep it dry. She also is able to plug it in from this location, finding that it takes three hours to charge up the batteries.

Perfect season for Capital City Storm cheerleaders john.curry@metroland.com
This year they saw, they went and they conquered in the Canadian national championships in Niagara Falls. Next year they are hoping to conquer in the Cheerleaders of America (COA) Ultimate National Championships in Orlando, Florida. That’s quite a tall order but this senior team of the Capital City Storm, a Stittsville-based cheerleading club, is good – really good. This senior team had a perfect season in 2010-2011. The team placed first in its division in the Big East Blast in Kingston and
also first in the East Regional Competition in Gatineau, all in February. The team followed this up with a first at the Ontario Championships in Kitchener in March. And, if that were not enough, this was followed by a first in the COA Niagara Falls Nationals in Buffalo, New York in April. And then, to top off the competitive season, the team won the Canadian National Championship in Niagara Falls in May. Now, if that is not an amazing and spectacular season of competition, what is? So-called all-star cheerleading is one of the fastest growing competitive sports in Canada.
In such cheerleading, the cheerleaders work towards perfecting a two and a half minute routine which includes stunting, tumbling and dancing. Capital City Storm has just finished its sixth season. It started off as Ultimate Cheer Ottawa but changed its name to Capital City Storm in 2009. Capital City Storm athletes come from Stittsville, Kanata, Richmond, Nepean and Carleton Place, practicing at the Capital City Storm gym facility on Iber Road in Stittsville. Routines are practiced year round, twice a week, for four to five hours a week. There are also extra tumbling sessions to

All-Academic Team honours SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Delaney sisters of Stittsville are not only great on the ice surface but also are outstanding in the classroom. The two sisters, Brianna and her youngster sister, Cobina, both graduates of Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, earned College Hockey America All-Academic Team honours for the past season. Brianna and Cobina both play for the Robert Morris University Colonials women’s hockey team. The Colonials, in fact, had 16 players qualify for College Hockey America All-Academic Team selection. To qualify for the College Hockey America All-Academic Team, a student athlete must post a 3.0 grade point average or higher in all of the academic periods during which the team is actively competing. While 3.0 represents the minimum standard to qualify, all 16 of the Robert Morris selections, including Brianna and Cobina, achieved a grade point averag4e of at least 3.2 during the past academic year. Brianna Delaney earned a 3.70 grade point average as she is majoring in elementary education. Cobina Delaney earned a 3.27 grade point average. She is majoring in marketing at the Pittsburgh-area university. The Robert Morris University Colonials advanced to the College Hockey America semi-finals this past season for the second consecutive season.

Vocalist Jenna Glatt of Stittsville is back home for the summer. And that means some musical treats for Ottawa area residents. On Thursday, July 7, the Jenna Glatt Quartet provided the live entertainment at a “Midnight in Manhattan” gala for the Children’s Wish Foundation at the Sala San Marco on Preston Street in Ottawa. This charitable fundraiser recreated the elegance and glamour experienced by New York City socialites in the roaring twenties. It included a four course themed New York steak dinner, cakes donated by Kimberly Dawn Cakes, silent and live auctions and, of course, Jenna Glatt’s entertainment. Jenna will be following this up with an upcoming performance on Friday, July 22 at the Café Paradiso on Bank Street in Ottawa. Pianist Stephen Boudreau will be accompanying her for this performance. In this engagement, Jenna will be sharing some new songs that she has created, songs with a flavour of rhythm and blues and soul. There will also be new arrangements and some re-invented tunes to add to the musical enjoyment of the evening. Jenna has just returned from her first year at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. She is considered a versatile musician who has gained widespread public and media recognition John Brummell photo for her vocal talent. Recent performances have included the 1000 Islands Jazz Festival, the Toronto Jazz Festival, WestFest and the Berklee Performance Centre in Boston. Ariana Bowditch, left, and Emma Le Madec, right, sell tattoo stickers Jenna has been described as “absolutely outto help raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation at a fundraising standing,” “a well-deserving star in the making,” event on Red Oaks Trail in Amberwood last Saturday, July 9. and a singer with “a million dollar voice.”
Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee Lynn Scott says that she is going to keep pushing for a public high school in Stittsville. She admits that trying to get provincial approval and funding for a public high school in Stittsville has proven very frustrating, especially since there is no formal provincial program in place at the moment for the funding of new schools. “Stittsville has been waiting for so long,” trustee Scott says about this planned new public high school, pointing out that there is probbly no other community in the province with a population of 25,000 like Stittsville that does not have a public high school within its boundaries.
