The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay is coming to Stittsville. The Relay, a cross-country retracing of the Canadian portion of the original Man in Motion World Tour, will be arriving in Stittsville on Friday, Oct. 28 at 5 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road, with a 45 minute stopover planned. This arrival will include that of the Rick Hansen Medal which is being passed by each of the 7,000 Relay participants to one another along the route across Canada. The Rick Hansen Medal, created by the Royal Canadian Mint, is not only a symbol of Rick Hansen’s inspiring story of courage and determination and accomplishment but it also is meant to represent the potential for everyone to make a difference in their communities, their countries and even in the world. This community celebration of the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay will involve more than just the arrival of the Relay and the Rick Hansen Medal in Stittsville. It will also be an evening of Halloween activities. From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., there will be Haloween activities for children including a haunted house and pumpkin decorating. Cookies and treats will be served. From 7 p.m. to 8:20 p.m., there will be a haunted swim in the pool while from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., there will be skating for those of all ages. Costumes are being encouraged. See RICK, page 2

Male Chorus’ quilt raffle JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The Goulbourn Male Chorus is into music. It has Christmas concerts coming up in both Stittsville and Richmond as well as a number of other appearances. And so how appropriate it is that the group’s major fundraising effort in this, its second year of existence, should involve the raffling off of a quilt featuring the “Tennessee Waltz Pattern.” Tennessee Waltz, after all, was a multi-million selling song by singing star Patti Page in 1950, a song that became her signature song and even became an official song of the state of Tennessee. This quilt that is being raffled off by the Goulbourn Male Chorus was donated to the group by quilter Sofie Paul-Duddy. While she handled all of the intricate piecing on this most elaborate of quilts, it was machined quilted by Jean Wong who just happens also to be a member of the Goulbourn Male Chorus. The blue, cotton, queen size quilt (84 inches by 100 inches) has a couple of hidden surprises. The pattern is an optical illusion in that it seems to have curves in it but in reality there are all straight lines in the quilting. In addition, the border which Jean Wong did when he machine quilted Sofie’s quilted pattern to the backing has a variety of features which Jean just improvised as he went along. So there are bull rushes, leaves and other designs in the border. “The more you look, the more you see,” says Anita Wong, Jean’s wife and herself an avid quilter. Sofie Paul-Duddy admits that in quilting circles, she is known for changing patterns as she does them. However, for this one, she followed the pattern exactly. She decided to donate the quilt to the Goulbourn Male Chorus for a fundraising raffle after she heard that the group was looking to purchase a quilt for such a raffle. She herself has been quilting for 30 years or so, although in a somewhat off and on fashion when she was raising her family. She enjoys the work involved in quilting and the fact that a quilter has to be constantly thinking about what is being done. She also enjoys meeting others and making friendships as a member of a quilting group such as the Poole Creek Quilters of Stittsville. But she also enjoys quilting because it is a hobby which allows her to make something tangible. “You see the results of it and you enjoy it and people enjoy it,” she says about a finished quilt. “It’s a labour of love,” she adds, a feeling that is echoed by her fellow quilter
Anita Wong who says that “It’s fun” while noting that “It’s addictive, actually.” Anita herself started quilting when she and Jean moved to Stittsville eight years ago. She did not know anyone in the community and so she joined the Poole Creek Quilters when the group started. Being part of a quilting group allows a quilter to learn about new products and quilting shortcuts and tricks. You can always learn from others, Anita says. A label stitched on the underside of the quilt by Diane Hart recounts the story of the quilt: “Tennessee Waltz Quilt pieced and donated by Sofie Paul-Duddy. Quilted by choir member Jean Wong for Goulbourn Male Chorus Raffle. May 2011.” This quilt raffle is being organized by a committee of Male Chorus members headed by David Lockyer. With the group now through its inaugural year, it has been able to obtain a lottery license for the raffle. Such lottery licenses are only given after a group has been operating for a year. A total of 2,000 raffle tickets are being printed and they will be going on sale starting this week. Members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, who now number 18, will be selling the tickets. In addition, members of the Male Chorus will be selling the tickets at different locations in Stittsville in the coming month, such as at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Friday evening, Nov. 18 and on Sunday, Nov. 20 and also at Sobeys. Raffle tickets will also be sold at the group’s musical performances leading up to Christmas. The raffle tickets are being sold for two dollars for one ticket or five dollars for three tickets. There are just 2,000 tickets being sold. Tickets are also available by contacting Mr. Lockyer at 613-831-8434 or Male Chorus director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824. This would involve ticket pickup; no deliveries. All of the funds raised through this quilt raffle will go to help meet the operating expenses of the Goulbourn Male Chorus this season. The raffle draw will be made at the Male Chorus’ Christmas concert in Stittsville on Sunday, Dec. 18. Mr. Lockyer, speaking on behalf of the Male Chorus, says that the group is most thankful to Sofie Paul-Duddy for her donation of the quilt and to Anita Wong, Jean Wong and Diane Hart for their involvement in the project as well. He says that the proceeds from the quilt raffle will form a huge part of the Male Chorus’ revenue for the year. “We owe her big time,” Mr. Lockyer says about Sofie, noting her generosity in donating the quilt after she had invested so much effort into making it.

Rick Hansen Relay coming to Stittsville From page 1 The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay will be entering Stittsville via Hazeldean Road, proceeding along Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road. The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay began on Aug. 24 in Cape Spear, Newfoundland and is moving westward across the country over nine months, ending in Vancouver, British Columbia on May 22, 2012. It will be following the Canadian portion of Rick Hansen’s original Man in Motion World Tour. In this 25th Anniversary Relay, Rick Hansen will be represented by many in motion as there will be 7,000 participants who will be walking, running, wheeling or biking an individual segment of the Relay route. Each participant will pass the Rick Hansen Medal to the next participant, all along the 12,000 kilometer route. Stittsville will be one of over 600 communities through which the Rick Han-
sen 25th Anniversary Relay will pass. The average Relay distance covered in a day will range from 40 to 80 kilometers. There will be about 40 Relay team members travelling with the Relay from community to community to facilitate the Relay. Twenty five years ago, Rick Hansen travelled 40,000 kilometers through 34 countries around the world in his Man in Motion World Tour to raise money and awareness of spinal cord injury. He now plays a leading role in a number of spinal cord injury, accessibility and inclusivity initiatives including the work of the Rick Hansen Foundation. The Rick Hansen Foundation is a registered charity established in 1988 to raise awareness of the potential of people with disabilities, accelerate progress in building inclusive communities and achieve breakthroughs in spinal cord injury research. The Rick Hansen Foundation has helped Canada emerge as a leader in spinal cord injury research and innovation.

Outaouais Wood Carvers Club of Ottawa which meets at the Woodroffe United Church. Through the Club’s lecture series and workshops, he had developed his carving skills and while still not considered a master carver as such, he has gone from carving roses to birds to three dimensional pieces like his peasant lady which on close examination reveals much intricate carving, the result of six months’ of work on the piece, some of it using a magnifying glass to allow for more detailed work to be done. “I really believe that’s what has made my carving,” he says about his involvement with the Club and those who have mentored him as he has developed his craft. “I’m an eclectic carver,” Mr. Braden says in explaining the diversity of his work. He says that he gets an idea in his head about a possible piece and then goes ahead and does it. That’s why his exhibit at the library includes a chalice like you’ve never seen one and, perhaps as a piece d’resistance, a working ferris wheel with numerous carved people, some riding on the ferris wheel, some waiting in line, some leaving after a ride and one boy even hopping over the fence to jump the queue. Mr. Braden says that the roses that he carves are unique, done in a way that no one else in the world does. Indeed, at one time, a firm in California was ordering them from him for re-sale but the business eventually stopped and he was just as glad because he did not want to be tied down to such a commercial focus. “I carve for fun,” he says. The library display includes several of the ribbons which he has won in various shows. Indeed, this weekend sees the 23rd annual Ottawa Woodworking Show and Sale taking place at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa. He will be taking a couple of the pieces out of the library display in order to display them at this woodworking show.

Like all carvers, he is a great customer of Lee Valley Tools and he explains his vast assortment of tools simply by pointing out that he has to have a tool available to him at the precise time when he needs it. Hence, he has to have tools of all kinds in his workshop. He explains that carving starts with an axe, goes to a hammer and chisel and then ends with the use of smaller knives as the work gets more precise. “I’m a power carver,” he says, noting that the power equipment that he uses in his workshop is all vacuum-equipped, taking the sawdust out of the air. He wears a mask while carving and continues to use basswood, not just because it is soft and has long fibres which enables him to do intricate work such as the feather edge on an eagle’s wing but also because it is acknowledged as the wood that is least harmful to health, unlike, say cedar, which can affect health. He initially did pieces that took a day or so to carve. His roses, for example, take a day’s work while something like an elephant will take a couple of days. But now it is not unusual for him to work on a piece that takes six months to finish. The ferris wheel, for instance, was a six month project. His eagles take six months to complete as does his peasant lady. But he is quick to point out that it is not a matter of having great patience. Rather, it is a case that he has so much fun and enjoyment doing it that patience doesn’t enter into it. He likes challenges, like carving a ball within a ball within a ball, all hanging on a wooden chain. One carving misstep and the whole project could be lost. Mr. Braden does all of the painting of his pieces. He paints his birds such as a bluejay or cardinal from a picture of such a bird. Indeed, he says that the wood duck on display at the library is a near perfect replica of nature’s reality.

Stittsville. The exhibit will be there till the end of the month. Mr. Braden has been carving for about a dozen years, having gone from being a novice through the intermediate level to now where he competes in woodworking shows in the top open class. It all began for him back at the time of the Ice Storm of 1998 when a basswood tree in the backyard of his Kanata home at the time came down. He learned that basswood was the best wood for carving and so he took up the hobby, joining the R0011147490

Stittsville Artists Studio Tour JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Both Bernie Wills and Wendy Murray are accomplished artists but when it comes to the upcoming eighth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour, one’s a veteran while the other is a rookie. Bernie Wills has been participating in the Stittsville Artists Studio Tour since 2007 while Wendy Murray is taking part for the first time this year. But whether a veteran or a rookie, the experience offered for those who travel around Stittsville on the tour on either Saturday, Nov. 5 or Sunday, Nov. 6 will be the same – an opportunity to visit an art-
ist in his or her home, see a display of the artist’s work and chat with the artist about the art. And, who knows, maybe even find that special piece of art that will bring you hours and hours of pleasure hanging on the wall of your own home. For Bernice Wills, she enjoys being one of the stops on the Stittsville Artists Studio Tour because those who visit are there specifically because of their interest in art and their desire to view an artist’s work. She likes it that visitors have the opportunity to talk with the artist and ask questions about various paintings. This cannot always happen to the same degree

in an art show or at a gallery. She notes that it has always been good weather for the previous Stittsville Artists Studio Tours in which she has participated and she is hopeful that this trend will continue with this year’s event. Bernice, who works in watercolour which suits her style, is a veteran presence not only on the Stittsville Artists Studio Tour but in the Stittsville art community over the years. She and the late Beverly Cutts were instrumental in developing the presence of art in the local community, being involved with the creation of local art galleries and art groups. For Wendy Murray, this is a first time experience participating in the Stittsville Artists Studio Tour. She has been painting since 2002. She had never taken any art courses or been in an art store and really did not know that she could paint until one day she was sketching her dog and the result impressed her husband and her art career went from there. Wendy says that her art has evolved over a number of years. She started off doing animals and very detailed work but as time has gone by, she has developed more of what she terms “a contemporary abstract theme.� She now does a lot of floral and tree work in a style that she calls “sort of abstract.� She works in both acrylics and oils. Wendy considers herself fortunate that she has been given some tips for her artwork by Beth Hoselton, a Cobourg based artist who is quickly gaining a reputation as a prominent Canadian wildlife artist. Wendy feels compelled at times to do detailed work such as with animals and landscapes while at other times she just lets her feelings flow, sometimes with surprising results.
The eighth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour will be taking place on Saturday, Nov. 5 and Sunday, Nov. 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. There will be door prizes given away and more information can be found at www.stittsvillestudiotour.com. The six artists participating in this year’s Stittsville Artists Studio Tour are Bernice Wills at 7 Plainfield Court in Amberwood; Wendy Murray at 396 West Ridge Drive near Fernbank Road; Josie Braden at 19 Glen Abbey Court in Amberwood; Diane Dean at 181 Hartsmere Drive south of Fernbank Road; Daniel Morales-Gomez at 26 Trailway Circle in Amberwood; and Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court in Amberwood.

A South Carleton High School team raised over $4,000 in the recent Run for the Cure for breast cancer research and awareness. Although it was a cold, blustery morning, the team of students and parents was out in full force. Let by student Drew Yorke-Slader, the SCHS team consisted of 35 students from the school’s music program along with six parents and SCHS music teacher Sarah Woods. The over $4,000 raised is double what was raised by the SCHS team the year before.

(Do it for Daron), is honoured to support The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre “Youth Mental Health Awareness Study & Early Intervention Research Project” which will be conducted throughout schools across our region. This project, conducted by the ROMHC, in collaboration with local school boards, will get young people talking about mental health, while working to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.

EDITORIAL
Celebrating Halloween Halloween has gained in stature over the years. It has now become an occasion that ranks highly as a time of fun not only for youngsters but also for adults. Everyone gets in the spirit of Halloween these days. You see this not only by the decorations in stores and the advertizing that takes place and the busy times at places such as Saunders Farm and its Haunting Season but also with the numerous lawn and doorstep Halloween decorations at homes throughout the community. And even some businesses get in the spirit – there are Halloween cakes at grocery stores, costumes at stores like Value Village and decorations outside some stores. The Whiskers and Waggs dog
grooming studio on Stittsville Main Street has an eye-catching seasonal display featuring pumpkins. There are other businesses

along Stittsville Main Street that have also caught the Halloween spirit. This got us to thinking. Wouldn’t it be great if the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), for instance, held a contest to recognize these Halloween efforts at businesses. It would promote pride in the village and, if participation were widespread, would add a wonderful Halloween festive touch to Stittsville at this late October time of year. A little encouragement and push by the SVA might be all that would be needed to spur businesses in Stittsville to demonstrate their Halloween spirit and to give us all a douse of Halloween enjoyment at this time of the year.

Not quite three cheers for the CBC In a couple of weeks, the CBC will be full of celebrations of itself, and we should celebrate too. Seventy-five years ago the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was formed and it has enriched our lives immeasurably. It has done this mainly by providing intelligent content not available elsewhere. While private radio and television stations chased ratings by pandering to the lowest common denominator, the CBC has provided a steady diet of news, current affairs, arts coverage and smart talk. For the longest time, the CBC has been one the things Canadians talked about when distinguishing ourselves from citizens of other countries. It was right up their medicare and hockey. While some have criticized CBC as élitist, many of its greatest triumphs have been far from that — think of Wojeck, Wayne and Shuster, Country Hoedown, The Friendly Giant, The Beachcombers, The Royal
CHARLES GORDON Canadian Air Farce. It’s quite a history. So how come so few of us feel like celebrating? The main reason is a feeling that CBC is no longer interested in doing the things that made it great. There is basically no arts programming on television. The CBC used to pride itself on supporting Canadian artists — discovering them, paying them, giving them a chance to perform and bringing them to an audience. There is considerably less drama on television, a strength in the past. Original drama has been replaced by a series of reality TV shows. On radio, specialized music programming — classical and jazz programs that delighted their audiences — has mostly given way to a bland potpourri, designed to
offend no one and thrill no one either. This comes from trying to attract a wide audience and CBC people will say that’s necessary because government funding is inadequate and more advertising revenue is needed. For the advertising revenue to come there need to be large audiences. The large audiences, the CBC has decided, will not show up to watch and listen to the things CBC has always done best. Is the new approach working? As far as anyone knows, there has been no surge in CBC ratings, with one somewhat ironic exception: the CBC radio morning and afternoon drive shows, which do things the way the CBC always did them, with extended interviews, reviews and panels. In Ottawa, CBC information shows do deservedly well. In other areas, particularly TV, programmers are scuffling, too quick to make some decisions — redesigning the national news — too indecisive to make some others — which explains
the survival of the embarrassing Don Cherry. News, long a CBC strength, has become glib, overpackaged, superficial and inadequate. On Ontario election night, CBC was quick to cover what was on Twitter, causing at least one CBC loyalist to check out TV Ontario, finding results-based, no-nonsense coverage with experienced commentators and never going back to CBC. This is one small examples, but it shows something. So does the local CBC’s recent decision to drop theatre reviews from its morning information show. “People listen to radio now in very short chunks,” explained a CBC producer.

What’s a review last — three minutes? When programmers make decisions like that, they are saying implicitly that their audience is not very smart. They might phrase it differently; they might say that their listeners lead busy lives and don’t have time for detailed commentaries or reviews. But it amounts to the same thing. Here’s breaking news: We are never too busy for something interesting, even if it lasts as long as five minutes. Also, we are smarter than CBC programmers think. After 75 years, they should know that.

Fundraising gala Nov. 10 JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Bye, bye books. A shipping container crammed with books collected over recent weeks by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is now on its way to Uganda where they will form the literary basis for a new community library. This is a project of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville in partnership with Maama Watali, an organization that works in Luweero, Uganda with orphaned children and young adults. On Tuesday, Oct. 11, Rotary Club members held a work-bee which saw them load all of the books collected from a storage area to the shipping container. The next step in the process will be the actual construction of the new community library facility on Maama Watali property in Luweero which will happen in January. A Rotary Club in Uganda has been contacted by Susan Namulinda, a member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville and the founder of the Maama Watali organization, and its members are now ready and waiting to receive the books on their arrival in Uganda and oversee their transport to Luweero. A community library in Luweero is vital for the education of the youth. There is a school system available to those who are able to attend but there is a severe lack of public libraries in Uganda. This means that youth cannot learn to enjoy reading and to improve their reading abilities.
Education and literacy are viewed as the cornerstones of community involvement and development. That is why having a community library in Luweero is viewed as so important so that residents can gain more knowledge, thus helping improve their standard of living. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is receiving $2,000 from the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Kanata Sunrise and also $1,500 from the Rotary District to help with the financing of this Ugandan library project. But much more is needed and that is why the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, along with the Maama Watali organization, is holding a fundraising gala to raise funds for the project. This Uganda Gala will be held at the Holiday Inn & Suits on Kanata Avenue in Kanata on Thursday, Nov. 10 with cocktails at 6 p.m. and a dinner at 7 p.m. There will also be a silent auction. There will be a Ugandan atmosphere to the event, with flags of the country provided by the Ugandan embassy. There will be Ugandan dance demonstrations as well as a presentation on this community library project being undertaken in Luweero, Uganda. Tickets for this Uganda Gala are $65 per person and can be obtained at the Coldwell Banker real estate office on Hobin Street at Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Tickets or more information about the gala or about the project in general can be obtained from Brad Spriggs at 613-836-1637 or via email at spriggsbrad@ hotmail.com or from Susan Namulinda at 613-219-8331 or via email at snamulinda@ gmail.com.
The new landfill footprint is the only component of the WCEC that requires EA approval under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The proposed location of the WCEC and the new landfill footprint component is within the City of Ottawa in the area shown on the map below. The purpose of the EA is to study the potential environmental effects (positive or negative) of the proposed new landfill footprint. Key components of an EA include consultation with government agencies and the public; consideration and evaluation of alternatives; and the management of potential environmental effects. Conducting an EA promotes good environmental planning before decisions are made about a proposal. Earlier in 2011, WM held a series of Open Houses and Workshops with the public to review the preliminary Existing Conditions and Comparative Evaluation Methodology and Criteria that would be used to assess and compare the Alternative Landfill Footprints that are being considered as part of the EA. Open House #3 The purpose of Open House #3 is to provide the public with an opportunity to review the final Existing Conditions, assessment and comparative evaluation of the Alternative Landfill Footprints, and identification of a Preferred Landfill Footprint. In addition, WM will provide information about the ongoing EA process and related consultation activities. WM has scheduled Open House #3 events the week of November 8th–10th, 2011 for the following dates, times, and locations: Tuesday November 8, 2011 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Carp Agricultural Hall 3790 Carp Road, Carp
Wednesday November 9, 2011 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Kanata Recreation Complex 100 Walter Baker Place, Kanata
Thursday November 10, 2011 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Stittsville & District Community Centre 10 Warner Colpitts Lane, Stittsville
Workshop #3 The purpose of Workshop #3 is to provide the public with an opportunity to give input on Comparative Evaluation of Alternative Landfill Footprints and the identification of a Preferred Landfill Footprint. WM has scheduled Workshop #3 on November 23rd, 2011 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Carp Agricultural Hall (3790 Carp Road, Carp). Technical Sessions As requested by the community, WM also intends to hold a series of technical sessions. These sessions will be scheduled in the upcoming weeks and notification will be provided on the project website and via email to our project contact list. To be added to the project contact list, please contact Cathy Smithe at the email address/number below. In addition to attending the public open houses, workshop, and technical sessions you are invited to submit your comments via the project website (http://wcec.wm.com), mail, email or fax to the addresses/numbers published below. We will also receive your comments on our project information line at (613) 836-8610.

Richmond art show and sale
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital helped Richmond artist Salena Richard deal with her breast cancer. Now, the Richmond Village Art Club, to which Ms. Richard belongs, is holding an art show and sale to help the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. Funds raised at the art show and sale, called “Colours of Cancer,” will be directed to the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. Admission to the show this Sunday, Oct. 23 will be free but there will be a silent auction held to support the Cancer Centre. Selana Richard was a busy artist and mother of five year old Hannah when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in August, 2010. She started her chemotherapy treatment within weeks and had her last treatment on Christmas Eve. She then had a radical mastectomy followed by radiation in March and April. Her treatments were at the
Salena Richard Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. It was about the same time that she finished her treatments that Ms. Richard joined the Richmond Village Art Club, a newly formed club for artists interested in getting together to explore new techniques in their art. As many as 25 local artists are expected to display their art at the “Colours of Cancer” show and sale this Sunday, Oct. 23 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the St. John’s Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. The silent auction will run from 1 p.m. to
3 p.m. This is not the first time that Ms. Richard has raised funds for the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. Last June, she showed a series of pencil portraits of women who are or have battled cancer at a show at the Art Mad gallery in Stittsville, with the proceeds going to the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. Kat McClure, president of the Richmond Village Art Club, says that club members are supportive of helping the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre since almost everyone now has a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. For more information about the art show and sale or the Richmond Village Art Club, please contact Kat McClure at 613-444-0446 or via email at katmcclure6@hotmail. com. The Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre, which opened to patients in April, 2010, houses three radiation treatment machines, two clinics and 33 chemotherapy spaces.

Potatoes were the dietary staple for the Irish in the 1800’s. They were easy to plant and were nutritious enough that a person could live on a diet of potatoes. But when a potato blight that began in North America spread to Ireland and Europe in 1845, it spelled disaster. The result that was one and a half million in Ireland died. Famines were not unknown in Ireland as was pointed out by Roger Thomas of the Huntley Township Historical Society in his presentation about life in Ireland in the 1800’s which he gave at the monthly meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society last Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. He noted that there were over 20 famines in Ireland from 1722 through to 1880, not all of which were potato related. For instance, a volcano eruption
elsewhere in 1871 caused temporary climate change and affected crop production in Ireland, causing famine. But it is the potato based famine of 1845-1848 that is the best known, at least in North America, since it resulted in an outpouring of emigrants. “This is the one everyone is familiar with,” Mr. Thomas said about this 1845-1848 famine. The last famine of note in Ireland occurred in 1879 but by this time, Irish emigrants to North America and elsewhere were well enough established that they were able to send money back to relatives in Ireland, thus preventing severe famine conditions. In the 1800’s, Ireland produced a variety of crops such as wheat and grain. Animals were also raised. But this food was all exported to England, leaving the native Irish with little to eat but potatoes. Irish migration from 1820 through 1911 saw Irish relocate to the United States, Canada, Australia and even some to South America.

Mr. Thomas cited a number of reasons why the Irish left their homeland during the 1800’s. Those who had families to care for had to take this into consideration, since there was very little for them in Ireland. It became a choice between begging on the street or emigrating and starting a new life. There was poverty, lack of opportunity regarding jobs and a spat of evictions as landlords tossed out their tenants for not paying their rent. “So why would you want to stay in Ireland,” Mr. Thomas asked. Even the Irish who owned land were suffering because their landholdings were being subdivided more and more among sons, reducing many farms to less than ten acres in size. In addition, over half a million Irish owned no land of their own at all but simply worked the land for a wealthy landlord. Another problem in Ireland in the 1800’s was that after the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815 and many soldiers returned to England, Ireland lost its preferred status in English trade, affecting its agricultural industry. In addition, Ireland did not join in the Industrial Revolution because it lacked sources of power to run factories. There was no coal or water power, only peat for energy. So, while England became a land of factories, Ireland remained stuck with its cottage industries and simply could not compete. As a result, linen, cotton, glass, lace, silk and wool production fell off. About the only area in which Irish production continued unaffected was in brewing. “One thing they did compete with is beer,” Mr. Thomas said. So with the lack of factories and jobs and agricultural labourers being evicted by landlords, emigration to a new land became the option for many Irish, even though it sometimes meant waiting on the dock for a month or so for the sailing ship to arrive.

In 1925, the famous Helen Keller challenged Lions Club members to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.� The Lions accepted and today programs to help improve sight remains one of the organization’s defining causes. Over the years and presently, Lions Club members have worked on projects aimed at preventing blindness, restoring eyesight and improving eye care for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In addition, Lions have been a main supporter of the blind in their own communities, providing guide dogs for the blind and being involved with the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre, a vacation camp for the blind located in the Muskoka area. And so it should come as no surprise that members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be out and about in Stittsville this Friday evening and this Saturday raising funds to support the work of Lions with the blind and visually impaired while also promoting awareness of blindness and vision impairment. Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville this Friday, Oct. 21 from 4 p.m. through to 10 p.m. as part of their annual White Cane awareness and fundraising campaign undertaken locally each Octo-

Since 1990, Lions have raised $415 million through two SightFirst fundraising campaigns to help improve people’s sight. The Lions have gained worldwide recognition for their work to improve sight in the world. This work has included recycling eyeglasses around the world, supporting Lions eye banks that provide eye tissue for sight saving surgeries, screening the vision of hundreds of thousands of people every year and providing treatment to those at risk of losing their vision. Yes, Helen Keller would be proud of how the Lions around the world, including those here in Stittsville, have taken up her challenge and are leading the crusade against blindness and sight impairment. This Friday evening and Saturday in Stittsvlle, Stittsville Lions will be out and about in various businesses, seeking support so that this work helping the blind and visually impaired can continue both here in Canada and around the world. Any support you can provide to the Lions when you see them on their White Cane campaign this weekend would be much appreciated and well used.

Goodbye, Stittsville Town Transit Area. Hello, Urban Transit Area. This is what is going to happen as of January, 2012 as Stittsville will be brought fully into the Urban Transit Area of OC Transpo. This will result in a tax increase that, using 2011 transit tax figures, will be in the range of $139. In 2011, a Stittsville homeowner with a home assessed at $304,800, which is considered typical, paid $406 in transit taxes. Had Stittsville been in the Urban Transit Area in 2011, these taxes would have been about $545. This increased tax will now be implemented in 2012. This will complete a transition for Stittsville taxpayers from the Stittsville Town Transit Area tax rate to the Urban Transit Area rate, a transition approved by Ottawa city council back in October 2008. Fare reductions were made for Stittsville transit users in 2010 so that the fares to, from and within Stittsville are now the same as in the Urban Transit Area for both conventional bus service and Para Transpo service. The bus network optimization process that happened this year across the OC Transpo system used the same measurements and standards for routes in Stittsville as were used for routes elsewhere in

the city where homeowners pay the Urban Transit Area rate. However, there remain three routes in Stittsville that are currently operating less frequently than Urban Transit Area service standards would direct and these routes will be addressed starting this coming January. Service on Route 96 from Stittsville in the morning peak period of 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and to Stittsville in the afternoon peak period of 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. will be increased to every 15 minutes. Service on Route 261 will be increased from four trips to five trips in both the morning peak period and the afternoon peak period. Service on Route 263 will also be increased from four trips to five trips in the morning peak period. The additional costs of doing this, approximately $255,000, will be included in OC Transpo’s 2012 transit service budget. A further $124,000 will be included in this budget to fund improved midday service within Stittsville starting in September 2012. Detailed recommendations on this improved midday service will be developed through a planning and consultation process. These additional funds will come largely from increased tax revenue going to OC Transpo, largely from extending the Urban Transit Area to include Stittsville.

Mayor visits Richmond’s Hyde Park JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
The giant orange construction crane marks the spot. Soaring well over any local tree, the crane hovers over the excavation that will be the five storey Immanuel House and a 35 unit three storey apartment building linked with it. It provided the backdrop, albeit a tall one, for the “In the Autumn Air” afternoon and evening of music and food held at the Hyde Park community in Richmond last Saturday, Oct. 15. Breezy, cool weather prevailed, with rain starting around 5:30 p.m. but that did not matter for the Hyde Park residents and guests who were sheltered in a large white tent erected in the shadow of the giant crane. There, over the course of five hours, they enjoyed music from the Paul Sheehy Trio, Rick Denis and 3, Kimberley Dunn and the Appex Jazz Band, starting at 3 p.m. and going through to 8 p.m. They also enjoyed food and beverages from four on-site vendors – Gaia Java coffee, Foodies (homemade soups and sandwiches along with chili), Strata Pizza and Perrault Vineyards. Just after 5 p.m., they also
got to hear from city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who dropped in on the gathering, receiving a briefing about the Hyde Park project from Steve Hyde, chief executive officer and president of Hyde Park Canada, and from Alan McCafferty, chief operating officer of Hyde Park Canada before addressing those assembled in the tent. He praised the concept developed at Hyde Park, providing affordable housing geared to seniors, while noting the investment that was being made by Hyde Park Canada in the facilities now under construction, adding to the 92 bungalow housing units which already exist on the site. The mayor noted how the population of Eastern Ontario is now getting older but at the same time is living longer, creating a need for the type of housing and accommodation being built by Hyde Park Canada. He said that having such housing in communities such as Richmond allows many seniors to enjoy the rural lifestyle to which they are accustomed while also living in modern housing. Before the mayor made his remarks, he was given a brief history of the Hyde Park development which exists on an 18 acre
site on the north side of Perth Street in Richmond. The existing 92 unit bungalow community will soon be part of a larger community which will include a new 35 unit three storey apartment building that will be linked with the new five storey Immanuel House which will have 105 retirement suites as well as a host of facilities such as a swimming pool, dining room, theatre and auditorium.
suits in Immanuel House itself, all geared to retirement living with meals and laundry services provided, and a total of 140 apartments in three buildings. These apartment units will have underground parking, elevator access, a balcony and air conditioning and will be outfitted with SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) equipment. This will allow for water overflow sensors, emergency response, stove detectors, non-motion detectors and a telemedicine system.
These two facilities now under construction will be followed by the construction of two more apartment buildings, also linked to Immanuel House. Besides the visit by the mayor, this “In the Autumn Air” event also saw visits by city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and newly elected Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. When the Hyde Park community in Richmond is completed, it will include the existing 92 bungalow units, 105 retirement

A last minute touchdown followed by a two point convert carried the South Carleton High School Storm to a 15-14 victory over the visiting Holy Trinity High School squad in high school senior boys tier two football league action in Richmond last Friday afternoon, Oct. 14. This victory lifted the SCHS Storm to a record of two wins and two losses so far this season while the loss was Holy Trinity’s third in four games to date. With the score 14-7 for Holy Trinity and time running down in the fourth quarter, the SC Storm rode the arm of quarterback Tyler Scott, who was in relief of starting quarterback Quinn Stewart, in a march down the field. With the minute flag up, Scott found receiver Blair Stewart in the end zone on an eight yard pass to bring the Storm to within one point of the Holy Trinity team. The Storm then went for the victory, lining up for a two point convert. Quarterback Scott rifled a pass to receiver Dalton White for the two points, making the score 15-14 with only 30 seconds to go
in the game. Holy Trinity moved the ball to the Storm 50 yard line with just 17 seconds to go but a fumble recovered by South Carleton ended any hope for a comeback. SC quarterback Tyler Scott took a knee on the next play as time ran out in the game. It had been quite a game, played in cloudy conditions with sunny breaks, albeit with dark storm clouds passing by on the eastern horizon. Warm, breezy conditions prevailed during the game. It was 0-0 after the first quarter. In the second quarter, the SC Storm ended up in good field position when Josh Stanley intercepted a pass around the Storm’s 30 yard line and rumbled all the way to the Holy Trinity 30 yard line before being tackled. But the Storm could not penetrate much farther and lost the ball on downs. The score remained 0-0 at half time. In the third quarter, SC Storm running back Graham Smyth scooted 30 yards around the end to score the first touchdown of the game, giving the Storm a 6-0 lead. A convert kicked by Tyler Scott made it 7-0 for the Storm.

Looking around to block someone is SC’s Andrew Sim, left, number 88.
However, after the Storm later fumbled and lost the ball at their own 20 yard line, Holy Trinity capitalized on the miscue, scoring a touchdown on a ten yard run. A two point convert made it 8-7 for Holy Trinity. In the fourth quarter, South Carleton turned over the ball, with Holy Trinity running it back 60 yards for a touchdown. The convert was no good but this gave Holy Trinity a 14-7 lead and set the stage for South Carleton to drive down the field in the dying minutes and score its last minute touchdown and two point conversion to grab the win.
South Carleton is now in third place in the six team West division of the high school senior boys’ tier two football league with a record of two wins and two losses. The Storm have scored 50 points while allowing 92 points. After winning their opening game of the season, 28-27 over St. Pius X High School, the Storm had suffered two straight losses before beating Holy Trinity by one point last Friday. The two losses were 33-7 to St. Francis Xavier High School and 18-0 to Mother Teresa High School.

Huskies can’t keep winning ways going JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The Sacred Heart High School Huskies couldn’t keep their winning ways going against the St. Peter High School Knights in a high school junior boys’ football league game in Stittsville on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 12. Coming off a 29-12 victory over the St. Mark High School Lions the week before, the Huskies battled hard but ended up losing 20-0 to the undefeated St. Peter squad. “There was a lot of positives in that game,” Huskies head coach Curtis MacNeil said in looking back on the action.
He said that the Huskies offense moved the ball in the game and the defense played well. He said that the Huskies managed to stay with the Knights for three quarters of the game but that then the Knights really hammered it at the Huskies in the closing quarter. It was only 7-0 for St. Peter Knights at the end of the first half and this was only because the opening kickoff had been run back for a touchdown. The teams then played even-Stephen throughout the half. St. Peter Knights had attempted a field goal from the Huskies’ 22 yard line at the start of the second quarter but it was partially blocked and when a no yards penalty was assessed, the Huskies
ended up taking over the ball on their own 18 yard line. One offensive highlight for the Huskies in the first half was a long successful pass and run play, with quarterback Connor Riddell hooking up with receiver Kyle Davenport. This took the Huskies from their own 30 yard line to the St. Peter’s 30 yard line but this all went for naught as the Huskies ended up losing the ball on a fumble on an ensuing play.
The score stayed 7-0 until late in the third quarter when St. Peter Knights scored a touchdown and convert, making it 14-0. St. Peter’s added more scoring in the fourth quarter, making the final score 20-0. The Sacred Heart Huskies now have one win and two losses in three games in the junior boys’ football league. St. Peter Knights have two wins and no losses so far in the five team league.
Three goals per game, no wins SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Stittsville Royals scored three goals in both of their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League games over the weekend but the output was not enough to win either game. On Friday, Oct. 14 in Arnprior, the Royals tallied three goals but the hometown Arnprior Packers scored one more including two in the final period to grab a 4-3 victory. It was 1-1 after the first period and 2-2 after two frames before the Packers outscored the Royals by a 2 to 1 margin in the third period for the win.
Matt Kadolph, Neill Penner and Cody Waite scored for the Royals in this game. Assists went to Scott Barnes, Travis Brown, Dan Guolla, Alex Hulford and John Welch. The Stittsville Royals returned to home ice at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon, Oct. 16, facing off against the Perth Blue Wings. The visitors took a 1-0 lead out of the first period and led by a 3-1 count at the end of the second period. In the third period, the Royals responded with two goals but Perth tallied three times to win by a 6-3 margin.

MERVYN HANN
Special to the News
Seeing a need and creating a men’s 30 plus hockey league. Visionary. Being so instrumental in local hockey and ball sporting circles that an arena has been named after him. Memorable. Dropping the puck at centre ice at the arena that bears his name to mark the opening game of a new season for the Stittsville Men’s 30 Plus Hockey League. Priceless. But this is what happened on Friday, Oct. 7 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Centre in Stittsville. The league that Johnny Leroux of Stittsville created over 30 years ago played its first game of the new season in the arena that now bears Johnny’s name.
Curling, anyone?

To mark the occasion, the league asked Johnny to attend the opening game of the season and drop the puck to start the new season. He enthusiastically agreed and that’s what happened. It was on March 11 earlier this year that the Stittsville District Community Centre was renamed the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in his honour. Johnny Leroux is well known in the Stittsville area and beyond for his dedication to amateur and recreational sports for those of all ages. He has coached and refereed minor hockey, coached and umpired minor ball and founded, played and coached oldtimer hockey teams. A champion boxer in his youth, he served in the Korean War and is now an honoured member of the Stittsville

branch of the Royal Canadian Legion where he has received the Legionnaire of the Year award. The Stittsville Men’s 30 Plus Hockey League started over 30 years ago when Johnny Leroux saw the need for a men’s recreational hockey league and his vision of what was needed in this regard became reality with the creation of the league which still exists today. Late on Tuesday and Friday nights in Stittsville, 70 fathers, uncles or friends in the community play their favourite game at one of the two local arenas as part of the Stittsville Men’s 30 Plus Hockey League. With this year’s opening game being played in the arena just recently named after the league’s founder, it was the occasion for something special and that was for Johnny Leroux himself to be on hand and drop the puck to get the season underway.

It’s flu shot time. Now is the time to get the seasonal flu vaccine that is considered the most effective way to avoid getting the flu. The flu shot can be received from a family physician but the shots are also available at a series of 33 free immunization clinics being held by Ottawa Public Health across the city of Ottawa, starting on Saturday, Oct. 29 and running through until Monday, Dec. 12. Two of these clinics are being held locally. One is being held on Thursday, Nov. 3 from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville. There will also be one of these clinics held on Saturday, Nov. 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at South Carleton High School on McBean Street in Richmond. However, this clinic at South Carleton will provide the shots by appointment only. The appointments can be booked online through the city of Ottawa website (www.ottawa.ca/flu). Influenza or the flu is a serious and contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus that can spread quickly from person to person, either by a cough or sneeze or when someone touches a surface that has been contaminated with the flu virus. Besides getting a flu shot, getting the flu can be prevented by washing hands often and thoroughly, using an alcoholbased hand sanitizer if the hands cannot be washed, coughing or sneezing into a
tissue, arm or sleeve rather than a hand and staying at home when ill. Flu symptoms include fever, headaches, muscle aches and pains, extreme fatigue, stuffy nose, dry hacking cough and sore throat. In children, the flu can also cause ear aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. People who are sick with the flu can be red ridden for up to five days or may even require hospitalization. The flu vaccine changes every year because the flu viruses that are circulating change. The World Health Organization selects the three strains that are included in the vaccine for a flu season. When there is a good match, the vaccine is 70 to 90 percent effective in preventing the flu in healthy adults. For children, the flu vaccine is 80 to 90 percent effective in preventing the flu. This year’s Canadian flu vaccine covers the same three strains as last year: the 2009 H1N1 strain, an influenza A known as H3N2 and an influenza B component. All healthy people six months of age and older should get a flu shot if there are no other health concerns involved. Infants under six months of age, anyone with a serious allergy to eggs or egg products, anyone with a serious allergy to any component of the vaccine, anyone who has suffered a serious allergic reaction to any vaccine or anyone who is not feeling well and has a fever should not get a flu shot. The flu shot is free to anyone six months of age or older who lives in Ontario.

Police investigation about fires, vandalism continues JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
There was a host of speakers ranging from city police to fire to bylaw. There was talk of the Neighbourhood Watch and Crime Stoppers programs. There were crime stats given along with general reasons why arson happens. But the only time there was any widespread audience reaction, which was a vigorous round of applause, was right at the end of the 35 minute long question and answer period. This question and answer period followed the hour long series of presentations at the public meeting about recent incidents of arson fires and vandalism which was hosted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Oct. 13. The applause erupted following remarks by Dan Gariepy, a homeowner in the Jackson Trails subdivision in Stittsville, who said that just that day he was moving into his new house on Eagle Crest Heights, the street on which two of his friends lost their new homes in recent fires caused by arson. He thanked the police and councillor Qadri for their reaction to the situation which has seen four fires attributed to arson take place in the community since the beginning of September, along with a rash of van-
dalism. He praised the reaction of the police for their great performance, quick response and great feedback. He also praised councillor Qadri for arriving at the scene just ten minutes after being contacted about a fire. He said that he felt safe in the community now thanks to the responses of the police and the councillor. This comment brought on the round of applause. Perhaps the most passionate moment of the meeting came when Constable Ryan Strotmann, who is the Ottawa Police Services community police officer for Stittsville and who also lives in the community, told the crowd of 180 that the police was working hard to catch the person or persons responsible for these fires and vandalism. “I want to catch the S.O.B.’s as much as you do,” he told the crowd, pleading for anyone who knows anything to come forward. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson lamented the incidents of arson, tire slashing and vandalism which erupted in Stittsville in recent weeks. “This is a very troubling time for people in the community,” he said, noting that tire slashing is a destructive, expensive and threatening form of vandalism and wondering what kind of person would treat society in such a way. Ottawa Police Services inspector Michael Rice admitted that no one
had yet been arrested or charged with regard to the arson fires and other numerous acts of vandalism in Stittsville but that the police have an active, ongoing investigation underway. This investigation has even been extended to a small fire which occurred in a parking lot in the community two nights before. Inspector Rice said that the investigation includes the acts of vandalism which have taken place in the community, ranging from slashing tires to damaging gas, cable and phone lines in the community. “So there is someone out there who is very intent on these malicious acts,” he said. He did not give any details about the investigation, saying that releasing any details could compromise the success of the operation. He also refused to speculate on the fires, saying that the question of whether they were set by the same individual or individuals or not is part of the investigation. He said that investigators cannot arrive at such a conclusion about this prematurely in the investigation. Inspector Rice asked that Stittsville residents be vigilant and report suspicious activities to the police. “If you see something suspicious, please call it in,” he said. “Be the eyes and ears of your neighbourhood. Look out for each other.” He said that police presence in Stittsville has been enhanced of late.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Location, location, location. It’s an old truism that applies to real estate. But who ever thought that location would be a factor in receiving free over-theair television signals. Because of a fluke of geography, residents in Stittsville can receive the signals of 13 local digital TV channels in free, overthe-air format. All it requires is to rig up an inexpensive attic antenna system and it works. And it works because the two source transmitters for the TV signals are roughly 90 degrees apart from a Stittsville perspective. One transmitter is at Camp Fortune while the other is at Herbert’s Corners near Manotick. This is key because it means that Stittsville residents can use two very simple loop antennas, each of which gets a completely separate signal due to the location of the transmitters. The signals can then be easily merged together with no destructive interference. This has all been tried and worked out by Eric Dormer of Stittsville who has now cancelled his cable TV services
and uses two very simple loop antennas mounted in his attic, with a 2:1 splitter to merge their signals together. He then amplifies the signal before sending it down from the attic to the basement where he has fed it into a cable TV splitter when then distributes it to TV’s throughout the home. His simple, low cost antenna configuration needs no rotor so he can scan through channels using his remote control on the TV, just like he used to do with cable TV. He receives a total of 13 digital channels, ten English and three French. For non-local channels or American channels, he uses the internet. The antenna parts are all available from a dollar store or similar supplier, at a total cost of under ten dollars. The main coax wire which takes the signal from the antenna down to the splitter costs $25 for 100 feet. Eric’s total system cost, which also included a 30 db antenna amplifier at a cost of $35, was $70. He can now connect any TV in his home to the coax lines in the various rooms and gets a clear, crisp virtually perfect image with great audio quality. Each TV can operate indepen-
dently, watching any channel without impacting any other TV in the house. This has all come to the fore because of what happened on Sept. 1 when all local television stations ceased over-theair broadcasting using the old analog NTSC format and now are broadcasting exclusively using the newer ATSC (HDTV)
format. The only negative impact to this switch is that viewers receiving over-the-air signals using an older TV set which lacks the digital tuner capability now receive nothing. But anyone with a newer TV with digital tuner capacity can receive the over-the-air signals. To get a full set of local chan-

nels over the air, however, an elevated antenna is usually required. However, a directional antenna means that a rotor must be used. This is not only expensive but it limits the antenna network to receiving from only one transmitter at a time. That’s why Mr. Dormer’s solution, with a simple, low cost antenna configuration that needs no rotor and allows scanning through channels using a remote control on the TV just like with a Cable TV setup is viable and appealing. Mr. Dormer claims that anyone can install a system like his with no electronic experience or knowledge needed. The sensitivity of the simple loop antenna that he recommends is not great but he has found that if it is put in the attic, the signal strength received from both of the TV transmitters is more than sufficient. There is no need to purchase a high end ATSC antenna from an electronic store.

they were heading through Northern Ontario on the way to Saskatchewan before they saw a moose‌The Goulbourn Township Historical Society tried something new at its monthly meeting last Saturday. It was an initiative suggested by Keith Hobbs who videotaped the complete presentation by guest speaker Roger Thomas who explained about life in Ireland in the 1800’s, both before and after the well-known famine of 1848. The idea behind the videotaping of the presentation is that now those who were unable to be at the meeting but who are interested in the topic will be able to view the presentation. Anyone interested must simply contact the Historical Society (presi-
dent Barbara Bottriell can be reached at 613-836-2305). If there is enough interest shown, the Historical Society will continue to videotape the presentations at its monthly meetings. In the future, arrangements may be made to have these videos accessible through the Society’s website‌Gaia Java, the new coffee shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street, took its products on the road last Saturday, being one of the vendors at the “In the Autumn Airâ€? concert at the Hyde Park community in Richmond.
