Paul Harris Fellow recognition to Grace Bell John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - She’s a charter member of the tenyear-old Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. And now she’s also a Paul Harris Fellow. Grace Bell was presented with a Paul Harris Fellow certificate and lapel pin at the Club’s meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 21. It came as a complete surprise to Grace who had not been told beforehand about the presentation to her of this prestigious award from The Rotary Foundation. She is now one of six members of the Rotary
Club of Ottawa – Stittsville who are recipients of Paul Harris Fellow awards. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition is named after Paul Harris who founded Rotary with three business associates in Chicago in 1905. The Paul Harris Fellow presentation was established in his honour in 1957 to express appreciation for a contribution of $1,000 to the humanitarian and educational programs of The Rotary Foundation. These programs include an array of projects that save and invigorate the lives of people around the world and enhance international friendship and understanding. Foundation programs provide educational op-
portunities, food, potable water, health care, immunizations and shelter for millions of people around the world. A lapel pin and a certificate are presented as visible mementos of achieving the status of a Paul Harris Fellow. The certificate states that the Rotary member has been named a Paul Harris Fellow “in appreciation of tangible and
significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations between peoples of the world.” The certificate and lapel pin were presented to Grace Bell by Rotary District Governor Ariane Carriere. Also in attendance at the meeting at which the presentation was made by Rotary Area Governor Hadi Mortada.

New Board now in place for Historical Society John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Exit Mike Bryan. Enter Barry McGinnis. The Goulbourn Township Historical Society has lost a veteran Board member, Mike Bryan, who has stepped down in the final year of his term due to personal reasons. Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell acknowledged Mr. Bryan’s contributions to the Society over the years when she announced his resignation from the Board at the Historical Society’s annual general meeting at the Munster United Church hall last Saturday afternoon. Elected to fill this vacancy on the Board and begin a three year term as a Director is Barry McGinnis, a Stittsville resident since 2008 who
has an interest in Canadian history. Also elected to the Board or, rather re-elected, at this annual general meeting was Debbie Proulx who had completed her three year term and was up for re-election. She has been serving as the Historical Society’s treasurer. These two elected at the annual general meeting – Barry McGinnis and Debbie Proulx – join six other Board members who are completing their current terms on the Board. These are Lee Boltwood, Barbara Bottriell, Jim Kirkpatrick and Lynne Blenk, who are entering the third year of their three-year terms, as well as John Brummell and Irene O’Grady who are entering the second year of their three year terms on the Board. Also on the Board of Directors is Robin Derrick who is the immediate past president of the
Society. In her annual report, Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell reported on the Society’s 2014 activities which included a Heritage Day open house at the Stittsville library branch in February; an exhibit of William Salter’s artwork on the ArtSpace Wall at the Stittsville library; reprinting of the Society’s Goulbourn Stained Glass book as well as Bernie Shaw’s Ghosts of Goulbourn book; the printing of the new “Camping with the Holy Spirit� about the Holiness Movement and Methodist Campgrounds book by John Desmarais; a survey of houses of historic interest along the Fernbank Road, a project which will be continuing this year; responding to requests to the Archives Committee about historical information; publication of four newsletters; five programs featuring guest speakers; purchase of a new sound system; participating in the committee organizing
Richmond’s 2018 bi-centennial celebrations; awarding prizes in history at local high schools; and participating in community events such as Art in the Park in June, Richmond’s Family Fun Day in mid-June, Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations and the Richmond Fair parade in which the Society won the award for best float. At this annual meeting, Board member Robin Derrick who looks after membership reported that member for 2014 was 121 members which includes some family memberships as well. This is the Society’s highest membership total since at least 2009. A poll of those at the meeting indicated that most would support changing the membership year to run in accordance with the calendar rather than from April of one year to March of the next year as at present. Mr. Derrick said that he would pursue the matter at the Board level.

Sports lover Ethan Saucier turns to coaching John Curry
john,curry@metroland.com
News - Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 11 student Ethan Saucier loves sports. Indeed, the 17 year old has been an elite athlete, being selected for rugby’s Team Ontario. He took up wrestling, winning gold and silver medals. He has played hockey for years on teams with his two brothers (they’re triplets) and his dad as the coach. But now, because of nerve deterioration that has weakened his legs and has even caused him to miss some weeks of school recently, Ethan has had to give up participating in sports as an athlete. This, though, has not stopped him from continuing to be involved in sports. He has turned his attention to coaching and even refereeing to stay involved and to help others with his knowledge of sports, particularly rugby. He has helped coach the school’s grade seven/eight rugby team and is looking forward to helping to coach the high school’s junior and senior boys’ rugby teams this spring. He is also helping with a fundraising initiative that would see the teams travel to Niagara Falls for a tournament, something that the boys’ teams have not done before. Earlier this year, he took up wrestling, a new sport for him, and won medals in both of the meets in which he participated before he had to call it quits because of his nerve condition. But he remains involved, helping to coach the school’s wrestling team. Ethan readily admits that it has not been easy for him physically recently but he says that he is trying to stay involved and coaching is providing him with this opportunity. He admits that coaching gives a different perspective to a sport. He says that he enjoys coaching as it allows him to stay involved with sports that he loves while also
giving him the opportunity to be with his friends on the teams. “I like coaching,� he says, noting that helping to coach two rugby teams at once this spring will be time consuming but that he will be doing something that he loves to do. A member of the Sacred Heart rugby team last year on which he was team captain and which finished first in league play, Ethan went on to try out for Team Ontario, being selected after local tryouts at the Twin Elm Rugby Park and then at a three-day camp in Kingston. Team Ontario played various games against other teams in the province, an experience from which Ethan learned a lot about rugby. He now wants to impart this knowledge to others through coaching. Ethan began his involvement with rugby a few years ago when his best friend introduced him to the sport. He says that rugby looks like a rough and tough sport to the outsider which gains respect for those who play it. But he points out that in rugby, tackles are controlled with players taught both how to tackle properly and how to absorb a tackle. Rugby does not have colliding bodies like in football, he points out. “It’s just fun,� he says about playing rugby, saying that he likes the movement of the game and the intensity, aggressiveness and speed required for the sport. He notes that he has made a lot of friends through rugby. Ethan says that rugby is both simple and yet complicated. He says that a person does not have to be physically big to play rugby but simply be willing and wanting to play. He says that his father, who has always been the coach for he and his brothers in hockey as well as being an avid hockey player himself, is his biggest motivator. Although Ethan has had to stop playing hockey because of his nerve condition, he still goes to the games to be with his father and

his brothers who play on the team. He says that sports has been huge in his family and that is something that he, his brothers, his father and his mother will always have to share. He notes that his mother is the typical hockey mom, always in the stands watching the family play. Ethan recently received “Student of the Month� recognition at Sacred Heart, given for his leadership volunteering as an assistant coach and referee for the school’s grade seven/eight boys rugby team. He ended up referring in the tournament as well and while he admits that he wants to coach more than referee, he is willing to referee when asked. He said that refereeing at such a level involves a lot of explaining and instruction to the players and he is confident in such a role because he knows the sport of rugby so well from his own playing. Ethan is grateful that everyone is very understanding with regard to his nerve deterioration condition and is supportive of him as he tries to stay involved in sport through coaching and being a spectator. Ethan says that he has always been outgoing and trying to go above and beyond doing things for people. He appreciates it that people are now doing things for him. He says that he is strong enough mentally to keep moving forward despite his condition and indeed expresses relief that it was him and not one of his brothers (Brock and Riley who are triplets with Ethan and a younger brother, Blake) who has been presented with this physical challenge. Indeed, Blake is now interested in rugby. He says that Blake who is athletic may someday play for rugby’s Team Ontario and he wants to work with him to help him develop in the sport. Ethan, who also battles diabetes, says that his brothers are his best friends and that sports connects them as a family.

Ethan’s nerve deterioration affects his whole body, making it more and more difficult to stand or walk. He has undergone a year and a half of testing and still no cause for the condition has been found.

Ron Mills’ musical offerings include a ‘train song’ john.curry@metroland.com
and a song about a Lions Club pageant queen in the northern Ontario communities where he grew up; and a song with the intriguing title “The Chicken, the Pig and the Dog;� and one called “Head Over Heels� telling about the dilemma of being fed up with a relationship and yet being infatuated with the pretty girl. And then there was that mandatory (for a folk singer) “train song.� He wrote the song several months ago, figuring that as a folk musician, he should have such a song in his repertoire. He admitted to playing on railway tracks in his youth but the very much lively and upbeat
Dylan to Alison Krauss to Steve Earle and probably best remembered as a duet done by country music singers Emmylou Harris and Don Williams. And Ron finished off his Gaia Java debut performance with two upbeat, peppy tunes, one of which he picked up from watching YouTube and which brought about an outburst of rhythmic clapping by the audience and another called “Old Pants,� similarly up-tempo and energetic. What a way to end! The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge although donations for the musicians who perform for free are accepted in a box on the counter. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, Jan. 30, singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Bruce Wozny will be performing at the music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop.

Community blood donor clinic in Stittsville Special to the News
News - A Canadian Blood Services community blood donor clinic will be held in Stittsville on Wednesday, Feb. 18. It will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinic, please visit the website www.
blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). There is a constant need for blood donors as it often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. Every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. That’s why the need for blood donations is ongoing. Blood that is donated has a shlf life of five days for platelets and 42
days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help
save someone with internal bleeding. The need for blood donations continues and only you can make the different as only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does
the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year such as the upcoming clinic in Stittsville. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

Generous gesture at barber shop is man’s way of thanking military Special to the News
News - Canadians these days are really appreciative of the work of the Canadian Armed Forces. You only have to experience the outpouring of respect and admiration that now accompanies the observance of Remembrance Day to realize this. But this respect and appreciation goes beyond the Remembrance period and there is no better example of this than what happened at Stittsville’s Heads Up Barber Shop on Thursday, Jan. 22. Owner Frank Olszynko was at the shop, working with fellow barber Rick Plamondon. Rick was cutting a person’s hair when a man with two children, a son and a daughter, entered the barber shop. His son needed a haircut and Frank got to work on it. When the son’s haircut was done, the father paid for haircut and then also at the same time said he wanted to pay for the haircut of the person in Rick’s chair. He even included a tip. Frank took the payment and the man with the two children left the shop. Then he realized that the father had not said anything to the man in Rick’s chair or even ac-
knowledged him in any way. So he asked the fellow in Rick’s chair if he knew the man with the children and the answer was “no.” So you can imagine his surprise when Frank told him that his haircut (plus tip) had been paid for by the departed father. And then it donned on them – the man’s military jacket was hanging on the shop’s barber shop. It became obvious that the father of the two children had noticed this and decided to pay for the haircut as a way of thanking the military man for his service to the country. He did this quietly, with no fanfare, and with no expectation of thanks. It was just a small gesture, a small act of kindness, to say “thank you” to this soldier. And, indeed, the military man appreciated it, as he was extremely pleased at the gesture. It was just one small heartfelt gesture that really made a difference, at least in the life of this one soldier. And so, whether it happens at the National War Memorial or on a bus or in a store or, yes, in a barber shop, Canadians are showing in their own ways just how much the work and efforts of the military means to them.
Euchre at Lions Hall Special to the News
News - Spring is still a long ways away but the skunks were scampering around Stittsville on Thursday, Jan. 22. Two skunks appeared at the euchre party at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street – just ask John Penelton and Al Zoschke, both of whom crossed paths with a skunk during the party.
But for Bonnie Sue West, it was not a night of skunks but one of lots of points, as she finished in first place with a whopping 79 points. This was eight points up on the second place duo which included Bill Watson and Jackie Ralph. The hidden score, which was 64 points, went to Brenda Lee Lewis. The booby prize for 37 points went to Lois El-
kins and the skunk-bitten Al Zoschke. Joan Benoit won the door prize. The Stittsville District Lions Club is hosting Thursday evening euchre parties from now through April at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Everyone is most welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre. And there’s always a snack to wrap up the evening! These euchre parties start at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday.

Hat in hand is no plan
A
fter nearly two years, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to understand how Premier Kathleen Wynne intends to reinvigorate this moribund province. She assumed office on Feb. 11, 2013 and won re-election on June 12, 2014 in the Ontario general election. During that time, the province has seen marginal improvement in such indices of well-being like the unemployment rate, but so has the rest of the country. Marginal improvement isn’t really the reason voters handed Wynne and her party a majority though, is it? It’s not as though the provincial government has been idle. It has banned smoking in parks across the province, it has tightened regulations on child care and given those working in the industry a raise, it has boosted the minimum wage and has pledged to conduct a thorough review of the Beer Store monopoly. For the most part, these efforts fall short of moving Ontario away from its current have-not status in Canada. Ontario still has a significant budget deficit,
and with the recent economic headwinds stirred up by the falling price of oil, the prospect of growing the economy out of its present hole are dim in the short term. Yes, Ontarians are paying less at the pump, but that may be short lived as Wynne has mused about introducing a carbon tax. Those savings on gas are also offset by a falling dollar (raising the price of imports) and the skyrocketing price of electricity (projected to climb by 42 per cent from 2013-18). This brings us to Wynne’s speech at the Canada 2020 lunch last week. During her talk, she raised the idea of a nationwide infrastructure partnership, calling on the federal government to take the lead by significantly boosting spending on things like bridges, highways and mass transit systems. These things might very well lead to increased economic growth, but is that the best Wynne can do? Does her best plan to get Ontario’s house in order simply involve asking others for money? Ontario needs to get its act together, starting with better ideas from the person charged with leading us.

Sometimes it’s not bad to be sleepy
A
while ago, an American newspaper did an article in which it said the main hope for excitement in the sleepy ByWard Market was that a wine store had opened. Predictably, everybody here got excited about the story, rising to the defence of the market and the nonsleepiness of Ottawa. That was civicminded of everybody, but there is a serious question about whether being non-sleepy is something to aspire to. Be careful what you wish for, is the old saying. What happens when our city becomes exciting is not always all that wonderful. Like the shootings on and around Parliament Hill last fall. Ottawa was at the top of page one all around the world, led all the newscasts. A little of that goes a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town long way. Similarly, last week there was the episode at a local hotel involving hazardous chemicals and the arrest of a man from Nova Scotia. Back to the top of page one we go, back to the lead on the newscasts. Didn’t it make you a bit nostalgic for the days when we were dullsville on the Rideau, or whatever it was we were called? This is not the only city with aspirations to be a bit more edgy. Torontonians used to chafe at all

those articles about how safe and clean their city was, as if somehow it wasn’t a real city until it had real city dirt, real city gridlock and real city crime. Well, now it has at least some of that, even if the crime rate doesn’t begin to approach that of major American cities. Toronto is edgier now, less sleepy, and guess what? People don’t like it all that much. Ottawa is starting to get some shootings too, linked to gangs. That’s not dullsville. A few more and the outside world will begin to take notice. Is that what we want?

For a bit of harmless excitement, we might allow ourselves headlines such as “Senators extend win streak� and “Canal re-opens for skating.� An unsleepiness level much above that might be, well, hazardous. Some day the virtues of sleepiness will be recognized worldwide. When that happens, it would be only proper if the headline over that story recognizes Ottawa as global leader. Cited might be our city’s achievement in protecting corner stores, limiting disease to trees and educating its population to separate recyclables. And mention might be made of the city’s continuing tradition of avoiding being visited by crews from CNN.

Free Open Table community dinner in Stittsville on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14th Special to the News
News - Love should be in the air at the February Open Table community dinner at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. That’s because the dinner will be happening on Saturday, Feb. 14 which is, of course, Valentine’s Day. As with all of these free monthly Open Table community dinners, this Valentine’s Day one will see the doors open at 4:30 p.m. with the dinner served at 5 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend this dinner. It is free although there will be a donation box available for those who wish to give something to help offset the cost of the
meals. This Open Table community dinner will be held in the hall at St. Thomas Anglican Church which is at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Valentine’s Day is a special day featuring love and romance which is observed around the world. It began as St. Valentine’s Day as a liturgical celebration of an early Christian saint named Valentinus. The feast day first became associated with romantic love thanks to the influence of Geoffrey Chaucer in the Middle Ages when a tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th century
England, Valentine’s Day evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers and sending greeting cards. Valentine’s Day symbols that are popular today include a heart-shaped outline, doves and the figure of a winged Cupid. Valentine’s Day is mentioned by Ophelia in the play “Hamlet” which was written by William Shakespeare about the year 1600. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes on Valentine’s Day have given way to mass produced greeting cards. In the 20th century, the practice of exchang-
ing cards was extended to various gifts such as roses and boxes of chocolates. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that about 190 million valentine cards are sent each year in the United States alone. If Valentines exchanged in school activities are included, that figure goes up to one billion cards. Indeed, teachers then become the people receiving the most Valentine cards. In today’s digital age, creating and sending Valentine’s Day greeting messages such as ecards have become popular. It is estimated that 15 million e-valentines were sent in the year 2010.
Meeting about new public high school Special to the News
News - Having a public high school in Stittsville has been on the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s capital projects list since 2006. Last year it was it was second on the list that was submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Education for funding approval. No such funding was forthcoming but now a community meeting is being held to discuss ways to lobby the provincial government to ensure that funds for a new public high school in Stittsville are
provided in the next round of provincial capital funding expected this spring. This public community meeting will be held on Thursday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. Those being invited to the meeting include Ontario Minister of Education Liz Sandals, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee Lynn Scott and
city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. The meeting is being held to continue the momentum which exists for this project and to ensure Ministry of Education funding for such a new high school. It is expected that even if funding approval were received this spring, the new public high school would not be ready for occupancy for a couple of years. There is a public high school site identified in the Fernbank lands in Stittsville.

President steps down Special to the News
News - The Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has a new president. At the Legion’s general meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20, president Fred Appel tendered his resignation, citing stress caused by an ongoing rift in the Legion’s membership and recent health scores for both himself and his wife Aileen as his reasons for stepping down. He had been president since Nov. 2013 when previous president Dave Cashman resigned. Doug Barnett, who has been first vice-president, will become the branch’s new president.
In his report at the meeting in which he announced his resignation as president, Mr. Appel referred to the ongoing “animosity” that some Legion members have demonstrated towards the branch’s executive over the past 18 months. He called such behaviour “completely unacceptable and not in the spirt of being a Legion member.” He also mentioned recent achievements such as improving the branch finances and also making physical improvements to the Legion Hall such as new windows. He also noted that the Stittsville Legion Hall remains a very busy spot with numerous events and
activities held there. Mr. Appel noted that members of the current executive and committee chairs as well as branch volunteers have been working tirelessly and unselfishly for the benefits of the branch’s members, calling them an “amazing group of people.” He said that the branch is “in good hands” and urged members to support the branch’s leadership. With vice-president Doug Barnett moving up to president, Sue McCormick has been appointed as first vicepresident and Barb Vant’Slot has been appointed as second vice-president.

It’s maybe a small thing, but at Tartan, we think smooth finish ceilings make a big difference. It’s a far more contemporary look that’s also far easier to maintain and paint. Which is why smooth ceilings throughout, including 9’ ceilings on the main floor of all Tartan semis, singles and bungalows are standard. It’s just one of many features that make Tartan homes live better for you and your family–human or otherwise.

In addition, Denise Crawford, the 2014 Homecraft President, will be a Director Ex-Officio in 2015.

Hearing all about care of apple trees apple trees don’t grow true from seeds. Johnny Appleseed, whose real name was John Chapman, may or may not have spread apple seeds all about but Randy Maguire, who operates News - Johnny Appleseed is a legendary Harvest Moon Orchard near Carp, doesn’t. He American pioneer nursery man who introduced plants root stocks and then it’s just a matter of apple trees to areas of the United States in the letting it grow and, most importantly, looking early 19th century. Indeed, the popular imafter it. age associated with Johnny Appleseed is him He told those at the Horticultural Society meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville that apple trees are fairly easy to grow but they have to be looked after, just like flowers. This involves not only proper care and pruning but also taking steps to prevent disease and insect damage. “Apple trees are incredibly forgiving,” Mr. Maguire said, noting that once they are rooted in the first year, they will be off and running. “You can make them (apple trees) do virtually anything you want them to do,” he said, referring to pruning and caring for them. Staking apple trees is important. If a tree sways in the wind, it will be slower growing and not bear as much fruit. As a tree grows, branches should be tied so that they are in a horizontal position. Vertical branches on an apple tree bear no fruit. He made the point that with apple trees, the idea is to grow apples, not wood. He said that the biggest problem for people with apple trees is that they don’t prune them enough. He said that pruning stimulates fruit growth and through pruning, the trees grows the way that you want it to grow.

spreading apple seeds randomly everywhere he went. In reality, he planted apple nurseries, fencing them to protect them from livestock, and then returning every year or so to tend to the trees. And, indeed, as those in attendance at the January monthly meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society can attest,
with apples one year, it will not bear any apples in the following year – it has no energy left. A constant worry with apple trees is disease and pests. Planting a virus-free root stock is one thing to do. And spraying apples for scab is essential. You will not have good apples without spraying for apple scab, Mr. Maguire said. Scab is the most serious disease issue for apple trees. Applications of sulfur or lime/sulfur in the early summer when temperatures warm up and green leaves are starting to form will help prevent scab. The application must be applied before spring rainfalls and continue until there have been at least three or four steady rains. These rains release the naturally occurring scab spores in the ground and once this happens, the trees should be safe from getting apple scab. This period of potential apple scab attack usually runs from mid-May to the end of June. If scab does form on the leaves of the tree, it cannot be eradicated. So the best defense against scab is protecting the tree leaves with applications of sulfur or lime/sulfer until all of the spores have been released. If there is no spray coverage on a tree prior to the warm spring rains, scab will be inevitable. Mr. Maguire, who started his Harvest Moon Orchard in 1986, said that at one time he used to spray for insects every seven days. He said that now there is much less spraying. He said that he uses conventional fungicides early in the year but uses no insecticides. He does use dormant oil which is applied when the tree leaves start to swell in the spring. The dormant oil that has been applied smothers insect eggs. Fire blight is a contagious disease which can affect apple trees. See RANDY MAGUIRE, page 23

Randy Maguire tells about apple trees Continued from page 21
It is a serious threat in that under optimal conditions, it can destroy an entire orchard in a single growing season. It is a systemic disease which makes affected areas appear blackened, shrunken and cracked, as though scorched by fire. Hence the name. There is no known cure with prevention being key to its widespread dissemination. Insect problems can also be kept under control with Safers Soap or other biological products that are available at a garden centre. These will keep caterpillar and leaf sucking insects at bay. Pheromone traps for apple maggot and coddling moth can be purchased. One per tree starting in July will prevent damage from these insects which are the main pests of fruit trees. Mr. Maguire, who is a son of longtime Goulbourn fire chief and Stittsville News founder the late Howard Maguire, grew up on the family’s farm property on Fernbank Road in Stittsville which had an old apple orchard with 20 to 30 trees. In 1986, he started his own orchard on ten acres near Carp, starting off with 500 semidwarf trees and then adding numerous heritage varieties including some from the family farm. He said that nowadays, the trend is for smaller dwarf apple trees. Indeed, he cut down 280 trees this fall to replace them with 600 smaller trees within the same area. And unlike formerly when it used to take 12 to 15 years for trees to produce a harvest of apples, these new dwarf trees produce fruit in three years. That allows an apple farmer to change his orchard quickly if wanted, Mr. Maguire said, later noting that in Europe some apple farmers are planning up to 8,000 trees in an acre, plac-

In the Jan. 15 issue of the paper, there was a note about snowmobiles and other motorized recreational vehicles and the Trans
Canada Trail in the area between Terry Fox Drive through Stittsville to West Ridge Drive. The sentence as printed read that snowmobiles and other motorized recreational vehicles “are now allowed” on this section of the Trail. It should have read “not” rather than “now.” Just one letter makes quite a difference – a “w” instead of a “t.” Spell check would not pick up the error because both are legitimate words. So, sorry, snowmobilers and motorized vehicle fans – there has been no change to the ban on snowmobiles and other motorized recreational vehicles on the section of the Trans Canada Trail between Terry Fox Drive and West Ridge Drive. Snowmobiles, though, are allowed to use the Trans Canada Trail west of West Ridge Drive. Apologies to all readers and particularly to Trans Canada Trail users on this “not” versus “now” error….If you would like to learn about line dancing, you will have to travel a little to Almonte but an eight-week series for beginners and novices of line dancing is being held from Wednesday, Feb. 4 to Wednesday, April 8 at the Old Town Hall in Almonte.

Future of home, barn in limbo John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Things are more or less in limbo right now regarding the historic Bradley/Craig farmstead on Hazeldean Road just west of the Carp River in Stittsville. The future of the brick farm house and adjacent red barn was brought up at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s annual general meeting last Saturday as a follow-up matter since the future of the farmstead had been discussed at the Society’s annual general meeting a year earlier. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was in attendance at the meeting, said that he had no new information about the farmstead. He said that the developer Richcraft has had no expressions of interest regarding the use of the property, adding that the developer is not pursing the matter until a site plan for the property is put forward. Councillor Qadri said that the site is valued at one million dollars an acre as serviced development property. He said that the developer is interested in maintaining the barn due to its heritage status.
He said that two years ago he looked into relocating the barn to Saunders Farm in Munster, with the developer paying for the move. But he noted that any such relocation of a heritage structure must be approved by city council and he had not pursued this as yet. He said that the barn is well worth preserving, suggesting that having it as a location for a number of small business might be a possibility. He said that there is no problem regarding the future use of the farm home, saying that it could be used for a professional office. Historical Society president Barbara Botttiell noted that a barn in Carleton Place was being renovated to be a music venue and so there are possibilities that are possible in reusing an old barn. However, she admitted that there is not a lot happening at present with regard to the Bradley/Craig farmstead. President Bottriell also commented on the former Bradley’s General Store building which was demolished in 2014. She said that there is no development plan for that Stittsville Main Street site at present as far as she knows.
Around village of Richmond At Museum Special to the News
News – At last Saturday’s supper and coffee house at St. Philip’s Parish Hall, a raffle was held as part of the fundraising activities. There were four prizes up for grabs in the raffle. The first draw was for a bottle of wine donated by Rev. Bob Poole and David Sterritt was the winner. After two more draws for restaurant gift certificates, it came to the grand prize draw which was for a giant (about four litre) bottle of whiskey, also donated by Father Poole. The ticket was drawn and the winner was, lo and behold, David Sterritt. He collected the prize but also handed in the bottle of wine so that it could be given to someone else. This prompted yet another draw to see who this winner would be and when the ticket was pulled, the winner turned out to be none other than David Sterritt. With such luck, he should have been at the casino on this particular night. In any case, he declined the prize and yet another draw was held. This time it was not David Sterritt. But what luck – three winning tickets in six draws. The raffle, by the way, generated over $600 for the Peru Faith Camp 2015…Richmond has had a Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) group since 1984.

Curling Club ladies use Christmas party to help out family Special to the News
News - The Wesnesday Night Ladies League of the Richmond Curling Club displayed the true spirit of Christmas at its 2014 Christmas party after a member suggested the group dedicate the Christmas party to raising funds for a local family. Kyram Dear, an eight year old boy with cerebral palsy and other challenges, and his widowed father Myles need help to allow Kyram to continue to receive the care that he needs as he battles his challenges. The curling ladies were excited by the opportunity to help out and decided to make up baskets for a silent auction. This group of 40 curlers ended up raising $2,264.50 to help with Kyram’s special needs. Myles brought his son Kyram to the Curling Club on the night of the party to meet the ladies and to watch some curling. Meeting Kyram and his father put the real
meaning into Christmas for the ladies. Indeed, it became a Christmas party that none of the ladies will ever forget. An “ugly Christmas sweater” contest turned out to be lots of fun, with Sheryle Reddick and Jean Stoddard serving as the judges. The winners were Evelyn Slinger and Lynne Owen. The gift baskets supplied by each curling team were stunning and a huge hit with everyone. In addition to the silent auction, Jennifer Langley oversaw a hilarious live auction of a curling “celebrities” gift basket. It featured humourous candid photos of a number of unsuspecting Curling Club members and staff which appeared on various auction items such as luggage tags, a “Men of Curling” calendar, an LCBO “Special Edition” magazine, an icemaker’s cosmetics kit and even a jar of homemade horse radish. Tears of laughter flowed and after some brisk bid-
ding, the basket was sold to Ruth Maxwell. Special placemats on the tables for the event featured a collection of candid photos that Sue-Ann Blakely had been snapping for several weeks. The Christmas quiz was prepared by Heather Brophy and was won by Marg Connelly’s team. The Fab Five – legendary past members of the Westnesday Night League – entertained the group with costumes and a very funny song. The “Five” included Maggie Armstrong, Joyce Cook, Barb LeCompte, Myrna Matheson and Marlyn Storey. The dinner crew of Sue-Ann Blakely, Brenda McConnell, Valerie King, Ruth Maxwell and Peg Bell provided a special meal that was enjoyed by all. Sponsor Cydney Green of Royal LePage Realty provided 2015 calendars to all of the ladies.
Six goals in third period Special to the News
Sports - It didn’t look good for the Stittsville Town League’s Shouldice Mechanical Red team after two periods of play against the Molson’s White team at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Thursday, Jan. 22. The Red squad was behind by two goals, 5-3. But then in the third period, the Shouldice Mechanical Red team exploded for six goals while limiting the Molson’s team to just one goal to skate away with a 9-6 victory. Chris Hesse and Ryan Sterling both had three goal games for the Shouldice Mechanical team while Matt Sterling chipped in with two goals. Brett Kelly scored the other Shouldice Mechanical goal. Craig Bagshaw had four assists in the game for Shouldice Mechanical. Matt Sterling had three assists while Ryan Sterling had two assists. Single assists went to Shawn Bedard, Adam Bourade, Greg Clarke,
Tom Bennett and Brett Kelly. Kyle Gourgon had three goals in this game for the Molson’s White squad. Scoring single goals were Martin Ballard, Dean Vennor and David Wilkie. Mike Testa had four assists in the game while Wayne Hall had two assists. Single assists were earned by Kyle Gourgon, David Wilkie, Nick Purdy and, yes, even goalie Owen Terreau. In another Stittsville Town league game last Thursday, this one played at the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, Laurysen Kitchens Blue team scored five goals in the third period to win by an 8-3 score over the Cabling Ottawa Orange team. In the Laurysen Kitchens case, the third period goal explosion was not a come-frombehind effort as happened with the Shouldice Mechanical team in its game. Rather, Laurysen Kitchens had a 3-2 lead going into the third period before scor-
ing the five goals and dumping the Cabling Ottawa team by the 8-3 score. The game had been tied 2-2 after the first period and was only 3-2 for Laurysen Kitchens after two periods before the Laurysen Kitchens squad blew the game wide open with its five goals in the third period. Pat Kavanagh scored three goals for the Laurysen Kitchens team in this game. Other goals were scored by Ryan Schiffer, Dan Cavanagh, Michael Laurysen, Chris Broussa-toi and Gilles Boudreau. Paul Doyle picked up four assists in the game while Ryan Schiffer, Ryan White and Chris Broussa-toi all had two assists in the game. Earning single assists were Pat Kavanagh, Dan Cavanagh and Luke Haunts. Trevor Graham had two goals in the game for the Cabling Ottawa Orange team. Steve McJanet scored the other goal. Steve McJanet also had two assists in the game while Jay
Gallinger and Matt Yakabuski both had single assists. In Stittsville Town League action at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Wednesday, Jan. 21, the Cavanagh Construction Grey team led 3-1 after the first period and then 6-2 after the second period to skate away with a 7-3 win over the Molson’s Black team. Mike Scherbo and Joey House both had two goals for the Cavanagh Construction squad in this game. Single goals were scored by Steve Derouin, Matt Robinson and Trevor Harding. Mike Scherbo and Steve Derouin both had three assists in the game. Single assists were earned by Nathan Blenkarn, Greg Harding, Trevor Harding, Matt Robinson and Andrew Duncan. For the Molson’s Black team, Shayne Thompson, Corey Loverock and Nathan Adams each had a goal. Earning assists in the game were Tyrone Vine, Ian Shannon, Austin Hunter, Shayne Thompson and Ryan Kennedy.

Is your dryer vent a A recent study states that as many 15,000 fires occur each year due to obstructed airflow caused by lint buildup in dryer vents. Lint collected in vents and traps is so flammable that it is often used as a fire starter. Most people know to clean the trap in their dryer before each use, but many ignore the vent. It’s a good idea to clean your lint screen with soap and warm water once a month to remove residue created by fabric softeners. Dr. Clean recommends hiring a professional to have your venting system cleaned. It is a simple process and a professional can insure that it is done properly. Be aware of the signs that signal a possible clogged dryer vent. Does it seem like your clothes are taking much longer to dry than when you first used your machine? You may notice that items aren’t completely dry at the end of a regular cycle, this could mean that your vent is blocked causing hot moist air to remain in the machine that would otherwise be vented. At the end of the cycle have you noticed that your clothes and the outside of the machine are very hot? If your system is clogged it wastes energy and causes the heating element and blower to work harder meaning that they wear faster and could lead to costly repairs.

Free information session about Borderline Personality Disorder Special to the News
News - The causes, symptoms and potential treatments of Borderline Personality Disorder will be the focus at an upcoming free information session hosted by The Oasis in Kanata, a support group for caregivers of those with mental illness. The free information session will be held on Monday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata, with everyone welcome to attend. And just what is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? It is an often misunderstood condition that is considered a serious mental illness that causes unstable moods and behaviour which make for difficulties in personal, social and employment relationships. It is a disorder that usually begins during adolescence or early adulthood with both genetic and environmental influences playing a part. Emotional, physical and sexual abuse as well as harmful childhood experiences such as loss, neglect and bullying can further increase the risk. Experts estimate that BPD affects about one to two percent of the population, with more females than males diagnosed. BPD often occurs with other illnesses, making it difficult to diagnose, especially if symptoms of other illnesses like bipolar disorder overlap with BPD symptoms. BPD symptoms include fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, struggles with personal identity and feelings of worthlessness, impulsive, self-damaging or suicidal be-
haviours, rapid-cycling mood swings and problems with anger, sadness and stressrelated paranoia or loss of contact with reality. At this Feb. 9 free information session, representatives of the Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder will describe what the illness is and will share their experiences with those at the session. They will also talk about the objectives of the Network and about the Family Connections course which the Network offers. If you would like more information about
persons of individuals with psychosis. This course will start on Sunday, Feb. 22 with eight sessions planned, evenly divided between lecture format and process sharing. Topics will include defining psychosis, monitoring progress, managing stress, solving problems, setting goals, connecting with others, preventing relapse and dealing with symptoms. There will be a $25 fee charged for this course. For more information about this course or to register for it, please contact Gerald Joy at 613-435-1100.

Sports - The Stittsville Rams visited the Shawville Pontiacs for an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game last Sunday night and came away with a 7-2 victory. The Rams jumped out into a 4-0 lead in the first period and never looked back on their way to the 7-2 win. It was 4-0 after the first period and 7-2 after the second period before the teams engaged in a scoreless third period. Matt Allan scored two goals for the Rams in this game with single goals going to Shane Hiley, James Redmond, Cole Carter, Troy Hass and Parker Aimers. Earing assists for the Rams in this game were Shane Hiley with three, Talmadge Farnes, Matt Allan and Connor Cobbold with two each and Cole Carter, Parker Aimers, Troy Hass and Jordan Boutillier with one apiece. The Stittsville Rams had 25 shots on the Shawville net in this game. Rams goalie Matt Couvrette faced 23 shots in the game. The Stittsville Rams are currently in second place in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League with 45 points thanks to a record of 20 wins, 10 losses and 1 overtime shootout loss. The Rams are four points behind the first place Renfrew Timberwolves.
The first thing to look at is your employment contract. Most employment contracts contain both written terms, and unwritten terms that are implied into the contract by law. The written portion of an employment contract usually mentions the benefits and insurance coverage that an employer is required to provide and it may also mention work locations and travel. Unless travel insurance is covered in the original contract, or has since been agreed to by the employer, an employer generally cannot be forced to provide travel insurance. Also, most travel insurance policies will not cover all of the risks you’ve outlined. However, the failure to mention travel or relocation in a contract may prevent an employer from requiring that an employee work in a foreign country. Whether an employer can make such a
request, without it being specifically mentioned in the contract, depends primarily on the nature of the work and if foreign travel to that country was expected or foreseeable when the employee was hired or promoted into their current position. If an employee has a legitimate fear for their safety they may be able to argue that a travel request from their employer is not consistent with their contract. The context of the employment and the country involved are important considerations. For example it could be implied into many contracts that travel to the United States is acceptable, whereas travel to parts of Afghanistan is not. It is always best to review your contract, check your facts, and consult with a lawyer before making any demands of your employer.

Supper, music make for ‘fabulous night’ in Richmond John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - “Fabulous, fabulous night.” This is how Rev. Bob Poole summed up the “Send A Child To Camp Coffee House” supporting St. Philip Parish’s Peru Mission which was held in the St. Philip Parish Hall in Richmond last Saturday evening. The event included a family supper followed by two hours of “coffee house” style entertainment. Father Poole thanked everyone for the commitment and generosity which they had shown to make the event so successful, ranging from preparing and setting up the supper to the “cluster of stars” which performed, a lineup which he said Las Vegas would dearly want. Tables were set up throughout the parish hall and jammed with family folks as they all filled their plates at the buffet-style supper. All of the food including desserts was
donated for the supper. The entertainment kicked off at 7 p.m. with the performing trio of Michael McSheffrey on vocals and guitar, Adam McSheffrey with a hand drum and Shawn Brown on pedal steel guitar as well as a regular guitar at times. This group performed for half an hour, singing a variety of tunes ranging from “Gulf Coast Highway,” which has been covered by singers like Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith, to “Soulshine,” covered by the Allman Brothers and others, to “500 Miles,” an iconic folk song from the 1960’s covered most famously by Peter, Paul and Mary but also recorded over the years by many such as the Kingston Trio, Sonny and Cher, Peter and Gordon, Elvis Presley and Joan Baez. Next up was Steve Fitzpatrick of Ottawa, who sang and accompanied himself on guitar. He started off with “Early Morning Rain”
which Gordon Lightfoot had on his debut album in 1966 but is perhaps better known for the versions done by Ian and Sylvia as well as by Peter, Paul and Mary. Steve’s other musical offerings included “Moonshiner,” a 1963 folk song by Bob Dylan, and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” another Bob Dylan song written in 1962 that was on Dylan’s 1963 album “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.” A real treat at this coffee house show was the vocal offerings of Canterbury High School student Sarah Stapleton who joined Mike Heffernan on stage. Mike learned about Sarah and her extraordinary singing voice when they appeared together in a Christian musical in Ottawa. So Mike brought Sarah along to perform with him at this coffee house, with Mike largely restricting himself to accompanying Sarah on the guitar. See COFFEE HOUSE, page 36

Coffee house delivers evening of entertainment Continued from page 33
The duo started off with “If You Could Read My Mind,” the 1971 Gordon Lightfoot song that was his first number one hit, following it up with “The Air That I Breath,” a song which was a hit in 1974 for the English rock group The Hollies. Others songs by Sarah and Mike included “Ain’t No Sunshine,” as done by American singer/guitarist Eva Cassidy and Judy Garland’s signature song, “Over The Rainbow,” from the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.” The song not only was an Academy Award winner but also has become an ensuring standard for many singers over the years. More great music followed Sarah and Mike as the duo of vocalist Stephanie Murphy and guitarist Sean Murphy took over, beginning with Nancy Sinatra’s 1966 hit “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” They then went back to 1945, reprising the calypso-beat hit “Rum and Coca-Cola” by the American harmony singing trio The Andrews Sisters. The 1930’s pop standard “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” which became a hit in 1968 for The Mamas and The Papas and “Respect,” Aretha Franklin’s 1967 hit that became her signature song and which won two Grammy Awards in 1968, were among the other songs performed by Stephanie and Sean. Wrapping up the coffee house was the trio of Celine Masson, Danielle Masson and Maureen Vickers, with Danielle singing and accompanying the group on the guitar with the other two singing. The group sang several songs including Serena Ryder’s 2014 song “Heavy Love” and Christina Perri’s song “Human,” which was the lead single from her second studio

$1,000 prize at TD branch John Curry

At the presentation of the $1,000 cash prize given away in a “Holiday Gift Tag” contest held in December at the TD Canada Trust
branch in Richmond are, from left, Andrea Moreland, TD Canada Trust branch Airey and Karen Wheaton of the TD Canada manager Chris Williams, who Trust branch in Richmond, prize winner Bill is presenting the cheque to Mr. Moreland, and Tamara MacMillan, Jake Fleming and Annie Yee, all of the TD Canada Trust branch in Richmond.
The published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!
News - Bill Moreland is like most of us – he never wins prizes in draws or contests. But all that is now in the past as he has won a “Holiday Gift Tag” contest at the TD Canada Trust branch in Richmond. And what a prize $1,000! When he received the prize at the branch last Friday, he admitted that when he entered the contest last December, he did not know how big the prize was. He figured that the prize would be $50 or something of that order. And so you can imagine his surprise and delight when he received the call that he had won the contest and then was told that he had won $1,000. Wow! After he was presented with the $1,000 cheque at
the branch, he deposited the funds in his account. He has been a TD Canada Trust customer all of his working life, first at the Bayshore branch, then at the Hazeldean Mall branch, then at the Farm Boy branch in Kanata, then at Stittsville and now at the new branch at the Richmond Marketplace shopping area. He finds the new branch convenient for his banking needs, being able to drop into the branch on Saturdays when he is visiting other businesses in Richmond. He likes being able to have a coffee at the branch. Mr. Moreland says that TD Canada Trust provides good customer service and he is impressed with the open concept layout design of the new branch in Richmond. This new branch in Richmond opened last October.

Pack your bags for summer camp - but what do you pack?
News - Pack your bags, it’s time for summer camp Every summer camp has its own list of what children need to bring for the duration of their stay, and some extra attention should be given to the requirements for specialty camps. However, some things are standard, whether your child will be riding horses or building circuit boards. Here are some of the must-have things you’ll need to include in your children’s luggage. Be sure to start packing well ahead of departure day so you have enough time to purchase any items they don’t yet have. Apart from a daily change of weather-appropriate clothing, underwear, and socks, the following items are recommended: • sun hat or baseball cap
Be sure to pack a few things that will offer comfort during any moments of homesickness: • a stuffed toy • stamped and self-addressed envelopes and writing paper so they can write home
filled with organized activities, so pack some • bathing suit • warm sweater and pants, in case of entertainment for free time: • book cold weather • deck of cards or small board game • running shoes • drawing pad and pencils • raincoat or poncho • plastic bags for dirty or wet clothes Make sure their toiletries kit includes these: • sunscreen • lip balm, ideally with sun protection • medications, if any • insect repellent Most summer camps will require you to provide these: • flashlight • water bottle • sleeping bag and pillow • backpack Not every minute of the day is going to be

How to prepare your kids for their first summer camp News - This summer, your children are going away to summer camp for the very first time. And maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the first time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been separated from them for so long. Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
probably feeling a little apprehensive. Here are some tips to help everyone prepare for the day of departure. â&#x20AC;˘ The best way to reassure children is
soon be spending away from you. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promise your children that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go and bring them home if they feel homesick or if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the camp. They could very well test your promise at the first hurdle. It will also keep them from making a geÂnuine effort to adapt if they know they can leave whenever they want. Instead, encourage them to persevere. They can decide whether they want to repeat the experience once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back home. Above all, put on your biggest smile when you say goodbye to them at the camp. It will let them enter into their experience without worry that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in distress. After all, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be having an extraordinary adventure!
not to worry. If you have specific concerns, call the camp and ask all the questions that are bothering you. Some camps hold open house days; they are a great opportunity to check out the location, meet the counsellors, and get some reassurance. â&#x20AC;˘ To build your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm and interest, talk poÂsitively about the camp and ask them about the activities they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to try. You can also tell them stories about your own experiences, if you ever went to summer camp. â&#x20AC;˘ If your children have never slept away from home, it would be a good idea let them have a trial run. A weekend at their grandparents will likely be a comfortable initiation, and it will prepare them for the few nights theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll

Why every child should have a camp experience Matt Barr
matt@campscanada.com
News - There are hundreds of reasons for kids to go to camp. Here is a partial list followed by some advice: Every child should go to camp to: • make new friends (the number one outcome cited by children who attend camp) • learn new physical skills (arts and crafts, sports, swimming, waterskiing, archery) • learn new social skills (communication, leadership, teamwork) • gain an appreciation of people's different abilities (we are all gifted in some way or another) • experience the feelings of love, safety,
and security enjoy being a kid and clowning around experience the freedom to make choices, decisions, and mistakes do chores without being paid (kids help to clean up after lunch and to keep the camp area clean) have one outstanding teacher (we have lots of the non-academic kind here) see positive adult role models in a fun environment experience a community where everyone is welcome regardless of race, colour or religion learn how to swim (many camps provide daily swimming opportunities) receive praise for who she is and what she

has accomplished (counselors do this all the time) turn off the television for a week (there are no TV's at most camps) to gain leadership skills (within a group of their peers) experience many things for the first time build confidence in all the things they can do feel comfortable being themselves (all personalities are encouraged and celebrated at camp) learn to adjust to new environments, various social situations gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction, self-esteem, and leadership develop personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle discover and explore their interests, values and talents participate on teams take responsibility for others and help out increase their problem-solving skills meet a new circle of peers (outside of their school friends) create life-long friendships learn to adjust to new environments gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction and personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle trust their own instincts and gain a sense of independence Most importantly. . . to have fun
A camp experience is without equal. Even those campers who during the school year have behavioural problems, difficulty concentrating or who cannot relate well to their peers are highly successful. How is all of this accomplished in a recreational/educational setting that is overseen by a few camping professionals, but is administered for the most part by high school and university students. The
TAEKW
answer is complex; however, the key to the success of camp is that all its efforts are focused on the individual and not on the program. The program is the tool. The medium is the out of doors; the strategy is to earn the trust of the child in order to make the experience positive, non-threatening, creative and enjoyable. The camping community has long realized that when a child is placed in a trusting, nurturing environment devoid of the pressure to pass or fail and without competition, the motivation to learn is greatly increased. Each summer it is evident by the smiles on their faces, and the laughter we hear that campers are extremely happy in the camp environment. They learn to be self reliant, cooperative, understanding and sensitive. As part of a relatively small group they make friendships and establish bonds that will last a lifetime. The trust that is established allows them to take risks, experiment, challenge themselves and learn from these trials. Day to day they face a multitude of real life situations for which they find their own solutions or work closely with others to resolve them. They develop logical thinking. They assume various roles within the group based upon their strengths. They are better able to make choices for themselves that meet their needs and the needs of others. They become part of a community as they get caught up in the enthusiastic displays of spirit and singing that make camp distinct. Moreover, without realizing it they develop skills that relate directly to academic subjects such as geography, mathematics, kinesiology, meteorology, biology, natural sciences and languages. Their ability to communicate with their peers and their leaders is enhanced. They learn to accept and appreciate individual differences and are willing to reach out to assist others or allow themselves to be helped. Through challenging and creative activities they develop skills that will be useful in life.

MARY COOK Lean winter means that Mother Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The winter parcel from Eaton’s that year was more scant than usual. There were the usual sets of combination underwear for Father, and long johns for the brothers. I was given my sister’s castoffs, as that was also the year it was determined Audrey was old enough that she no longer had to wear the hateful long underwear under her lisle stockings. They were much too long for me, so Mother simply cut off a few inches from the upper leg, sewed them back together again, and so I still had the ribbed ankles to wrap under my stockings as I tried desperately to make them less visible. Every night I washed the cuffs only, wrung them out as tightly as I could, and draped them over a chair by the stove pipe upstairs. By the time they had gone through a full day, they had lost their tightness again, and the whole exercise would have to be repeated. And so, as well as not getting any new underwear in the Eaton’s parcel, that year there would be no fresh flannelette sheets either. I would miss the scent of brand new flannelette sheets, which smelled the same as the Dan River bolts of cotton at Walker’s Stores in Renfrew. That year, Mother said we would
learns new ways of ‘making do’
have to do with the already threadbare ones on our beds. There was money only for the bare essentials. Well, as so often happened after Mother came to the farm in Northcote fresh from living in New York for 18 years, she had a lot to learn, and she relied more and more on Aunt Bertha Thom across the 20 Acre Field on the next farm. It was Aunt Bertha who taught Mother how to make felt slippers to help keep our feet warm on the floors of a house with no cellar. It was Aunt Bertha who showed Mother how to put yellow beans in brine so they would taste like they had just been picked from the garden during the winter. And it was Aunt Bertha who helped put together a quilting frame and who showed Mother how to put together blocks of print and fine-stitch them, turning them into warm covers for our beds. And it was Aunt Bertha who showed Mother what could be done with flannelette sheets when they became thread bare down the middle where they got the most wear. And so, it was on a bitterly cold Saturday in the winter that Mother sent Audrey upstairs to take off the flannelette sheets
from the bed in the back bedroom where my brothers slept. She was going to follow Aunt Bertha’s instructions to the letter. The kitchen table was cleared, and the sheet thrown across it, just like a tablecloth. Mother made sure it was on exactly right, with the same amount of sheet hanging down on each side of the table. Then she took the scissors and with Audrey holding one side and me the other to keep the sheet in place, Mother cut the flannelette sheet in half, right down the middle. Then the outer edges of the sheet were put together, Mother hauled it over to the old Singer sewing machine, and with Audrey and me feeding it up off the floor, the outer edges became the middle of the sheet. I stood back and marveled at the cleverness of Aunt Bertha. There before me was a brand new sheet. It took Mother the better part of a month to work through the old worn sheets, turning the outsides into the centres, so that they would see us through at least one more winter, and if we were lucky, maybe two. Finally, they would be cut up and put into the rag bag. Mother had been taught yet another way of making do and surviving the Depression.

Creamy roasted mushroom soup Foodland Ontario
Special to the News
Lifestyle - The extra prep is worth the effort for this company worthy soup. Dress it up by garnishing with sliced cooked mushrooms and fresh herbs. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: 30 to 35 minutes. Roasting time: 15 to 20 minutes. Serves four to six. Ingredients * 250 g (8 oz) each shiitake, button and cremini mushrooms * 45 ml (3 tbsp) olive oil * 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh thyme * freshly ground pepper * 2 leeks, white part only, chopped * 1 onion, chopped * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 125 ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine * 1 L (4 cups) sodium-reduced chicken or vegetable broth * 1 large potato, peeled and diced * 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) salt * 2 bay leaves * 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) cayenne pepper * 370 ml two per cent or fat-free evaporated milk * 25 ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
Preparation Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms, and half or quarter all the mushrooms, depending on size. In a medium bowl, toss the mushrooms with 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the oil, half of the thyme, and pepper to taste. Spread the mushrooms evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a 230 C (450 F) oven until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tender, for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat the remaining oil and thyme over medium heat and add the leeks and onion and cook until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re softened, about eight minutes. Add the garlic, roasted mushrooms and wine, and cook over mediumhigh heat for two minutes. Add the broth, potato, salt, bay leaves and cayenne. Bring the mixture to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until the potato is tender, or about 15 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then remove the bay leaves. PurĂŠe in batches in a blender, then return the soup to the saucepan and stir in the milk and balsamic vinegar. Season with additional freshly ground pepper, if desired. Reheat gently until hot.

Women’s hockey team off to Winter World Masters Games John Curry

Sports - A team of local hockey ladies is off to the Winter World Masters Games in Quebec City. Players from Stittsville, Kanata, Manotick and Ottawa West who play together regularly are being joined by two other players from Peterborough and Toronto and three players from the United States to form a team that will play in the women’s hockey competition in the over 40 category at these Winter World Masters Games. These Winter World Games, which run from Jan. 31 to Feb. 8, will see about 1,500 athletes converging on Quebec City from all parts of the world. There are nine official sports and one demonstration sport covering about 40 sporting events. The only eligibility criteria for participation is to be over 30 years of age. Participating athletes can be former professionals or former Olympians or just recreational athletes looking for a sporting challenge in a fun environment. The Games are being held at the same time as the annual Quebec City Winter Carnival so there is going to be quite a festive atmosphere surrounding the events. Virginia Legault of Manotick, one of the members of the women’s hockey team, com-
peted in soccer at the Summer World Masters Games in Italy. She had thought about participating in the Winter World Masters Games but originally they were to be in Italy and the distance made that impractical. But when the Winter Masters Games were relocated to Quebec City, the idea was back on the table and a team was assembled. Virginia points out that the World Masters Games are held for those interested in the fun of sport but she says that they are also competitive, as she found out when playing soccer in the Summer Masters Games. Cathy Bureau of Stittsville, founder of the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association and herself an outstanding player in American university women’s hockey in her younger days, is another of the players suiting up for this local team competing in the Winter World Masters Games in Quebec City. Another player on the team is Erin Phillips of Manotick, wife of Ottawa Senators defenseman Chris Phillips. She will be playing in her first-ever tournament in these Winter World Masters Games although she has played recreational hockey for several years now. The team is being sponsored by the Big Rig Restaurant and Brewery which is located on Iris Street in Ottawa and which is associated with Chris Phillips. See GOING TO, page 53

Sports - It may be winter but football is still on the minds of the Bell Warriors Football Club. It involves the holding of winter workouts which will take place at the Oz Dome on Westbrook road off Carp Road in Stittsville, running from Saturday, March 21 through to Saturday, April 25. These one hour sessions will be an indoor football clinic, getting ready for the upcoming 2015 season. The workouts are for youth ages 8 to 16 with four age groups: tykes (ages 8-10),
mosquitos (ages 11-12), pee wee (ages 1314) and bantam (ages 15-16). No experience is required. All participants need is a pair of cleats if available as well as shorts and a t-shirt. The cost is $10 per session or $40 for all six sessions. All registration will be done when a participant shows up. In addition, during these six weeks, players will be able to register for the 2015 tackle football season. Registration costs are $300 for tyke and $350 for mosquito, pee wee and bantam. The Bell Warriors Football Club has of-
fered a tackle football program for youth since 1955, drawing players from the Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia areas. The Bell Warriors field teams in the National Capital Amateur Football Association at four different age levels, ranging from tyke (ages 8-10) through bantam (ages 15-16). All football equipment is provided by the Club except for cleats. For more information about the Bell Warriors check out the website at www.bellwarriors.ca or call Bell Warriors president Paul Stewart at 613-838-4279.

Indeed, the restaurant takes its name from Chris Philipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey nickname, The Big Rig. The team is also being sponsored by Imperial Coffee which is a familyrun coffee service supplier serving Ottawa, Toronto and other areas of Ontario. It is the largest independently owned coffee delivery service and vending company in Canada. The team has rented accommodation in a house in Quebec City. The house is near the Plains of Abraham and will be convenient not only for the hockey competition but also for attending Quebec Winter Carnival activities. Some of the players will be staying in Quebec City throughout the whole duration of the Winter World Masters Games while others will be there just for the four-day hockey competition. The team, after some e-mail input and discussion, decided on the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Rig Bar Down.â&#x20AC;? It refers to the Big Rig Restaurant and Brewery but also â&#x20AC;&#x153;bar downâ&#x20AC;? refers to a puck hitting the crossbar and then dropping down into the net. The team will be playing four games in the hockey competition at these Winter World Masters Games and then hopes to progress to the playoff round. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey competition at the Winter World Masters Games in Quebec City is taking place from this Saturday, Jan. 31 to Tuesday, Feb. 3. Other sports taking place include curling, cross country skiing, long and short track skating, marathon skating, alpine skiing, biathlon and snowshoeing which is a demonstration sport this time around.
