torical Society. Chat with the Duke of Richmond who became Governor General of the British colonies in North America in 1818 and who died just outside Richmond after visiting the new settlement of Richmond in 1819. Or hear the story of Jacqueline, a mother of five children whose husband Jock drowned in the river at Richmond, a river that now bears his name and is known as the Jock River. And then there will be Samuel Mann on hand. He ran a two-storey department store at what is now the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street which was the Walmart of its day, offering all of the shopping attractions that anyone would want.

Stittsville’s Erica Wiebe wrestles in Olympic Test Event right in Rio Special to the News
Canadian wrestler Erica Wiebe of Stittsville is now training in Calgary in preparation for the Pan Am Olympic Qualifier in Texas in early March. She is training with the University of Calgary Dinos varsity wrestling team which is preparing for the CIS national championships, making for lots of intensity in the training room. Erica has recently returned from competing in an Olympic Test Event right in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil where the first ever Olympic Games hosted in South America will happen later this year. Three of the top female wrestlers in the
world in Erica’s weight class competed at this event with Erica coming home with a silver medal. But it was not the outcome that was the most important thing about participating in this pre-Olympic event. More importantly, it gave Erica an opportunity to become familiar with the Olympic venue, getting to know the space both physically and emotionally and getting to know every aspect of the Olympic environment so that she can create a game plan around it for the upcoming Olympics. She visited all of the Olympic venues including the Athletes Village and the Canadian Olympic Team Performance Centre. See OLYMPIC TEST EVENT, page 10

Donations to Food Bank instead of gifts John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It was a way to celebrate a birthday, have fun with family and friends and help out the Stittsville Food Bank. And it was all done at the suggestion of young Paige Fuller with the cooperation and support of her parents. One evening in January, while at the dinner table with her parents, Paige asked if she could have a skating party for her family and friends to celebrate her sixth birthday. But she then added that she did not want to
receive any presents at the event but wished that all those attending would bring a donation for the Stittsville Food Bank rather than a gift for her. Her parents, Terry Fuller and her husband Dave, were blown away with this request and knew that they had to make the skating party happen, given the caring attitude being shown by their daughter. Terry made arrangements to rent the Canadian Tire Centre, home of the Ottawa Senators, for an hour on Family Day, Monday, Feb. 15. Invitations were sent out to the guests and their family members, along with
a request to bring a donation for the Stittsville Food Bank to the event rather than any gift for Paige. Everyone ended up having a great time at the skating party and there was lots collected for the Food Bank – non-perishable food items, grocery store gift cards, cash and cheques. The cash and gift cards alone totalled $215 in value. Paige was delighted with the outcome of the day, with everyone, parents and youth alike, having lots of fun while much was also done to help those in need through the many donations to the Stittsville Food Bank. Paige is now talking about planning something similar for next year, again with the goal of helping out the Food Bank. Helping out others is nothing new for Paige. This past Christmas Paige gave to the Humane Society while

all she wanted for herself was a new book and a special dinner out with her family. Paige had always asked if she could have a birthday party with friends invited but her parents had always put off her request – until this year when the request for a skating party for her family and friends with everyone asked to bring along a donation for the Stittsville Food Bank made such an impact on them that they made it happen.

Nominations are welcome for Capital Educators Awards Special to the News
Stittsville Public School students have a made-up word to describe classroom their teacher Maura Cuffari – “awesomeazingepicistic.” So, you know that they appreciate her as a teacher. She has had positive influence beyond just her classroom, touching the entire student body at the school
through her involvement with the Free The Children group at the school. With her support, students have developed a caring culture for those less fortunate and have been encouraged to think of creative ways to “give back,” not just to Free The Children but also to the community at large. And this positive influ-
ence and work led to her being chosen one of the recipients of a Capital Educators Award in 2014. These Capital Educators Awards recognize the achievements of outstanding educators and celebrate education in the Ottawa community, ranging from kindergarten to university. The award recipients are announced and honoured at

The store even was the location of the first telephone in the area. Also on hand at this Heritage Day Open House this Saturday will be Maria Hill and what a story she has to tell. She was married to Sergeant Andrew Hill and together they went through the War of 1812. They then settled in Richmond where Maria became an inn keeper of note. But there’s going to be more to see and enjoy at this Heritage Day Open House. All of the photos entered in the Historical Society’s 2015 photo contest will be on display including the winning entries. And, speaking of photos, you will also be able to see the historic photos of Goulbourn pioneers which are now on display on the Art Space Wall Gallery at the Stittsville library.
These photos have been on display at the Art Space Wall Gallery at the library since the beginning of February and will be there until the end of the month. Like at all Historical Society functions, there is going to be refreshments available for everyone. So you can enjoy coffee, tea, drinks and treats in the meeting room at the library, perhaps while also enjoying a display of some of the historical buildings in the Goulbourn area. The Historical Society is also encouraging anyone who has family photos of Goulbourn residents dating from before 1920 to bring them along to this Heritage Day Open House. Historical Society members will be set up to scan them in the meeting room for adding to the Society’s archive collection if permission is received.
a gala dinner and ceremony held each spring and aptly called “EduGala.” Indeed, this EduGala, hosted by the Ottawa Network for Education, is the only event of its kind in Canada which celebrates the contributions of educators across the whole spectrum of education from elementary to post-secondary. But the success of this EduGala which is marking its 15th year this year rests with the nominations which are received in support of the outstanding educators who work in the Ottawa community. Nominations can be submitted by anyone. All educators who have classroom teaching responsibilities with one of the ten partner institu-
tions of the Ottawa Network for Education are eligible to be nominated for a Capital Educators Award. The nomination period for this year’s awards closed this coming Monday, Feb. 29 at 4 p.m. Nominations can be submitted online at www.edugala. ca . The Ottawa Network for Education is the only organization that works directly with and is endorsed by all four schools boards in the Ottawa area to deliver programs in local schools. Over 80 percent of Ottawa schools are involved with one or more Ottawa Network for Education programs, with more than 122,000 students affected. For more information about the Ottawa Network
for Education, please visit onfe-rope.ca .

Storm planning adrift in Ottawa
N
o one can be blamed when we get 51 centimetres of snow in a day. But every Ottawan should have some faith that our governments have given the possibility of heavy snow some thought, and have a plan to deal with it. On Feb. 16 we were slammed by Mother Nature. And at the same time, poor decisions were made, decisions that suggest little thought had gone into how a massive snowstorm might affect travel, and what should be done about it. First off, our city owns buses that don’t work when there’s a lot of snow. Articulated buses get stuck, which leaves passengers stranded and motorists left to negotiate intersections strewn with bendy buses. If there is a solution, it’s up to the city to find it. A suggestion?: buy buses that work in snow. This is not Miami. Secondly, communications failed when the federal government shut down offices, sending a rush hour’s-worth of commuters to bus stops being served by mid-afternoon volume
of buses. Had the federal government staggered the closures, and told the city their plans, thousands of people would have had a more comfortable day. No one died on Feb. 16, we are told, so we should be satisfied with the response of the city and federal government. On the provincial front, Ontario doesn’t mandate the use of snow tires, so some people on the road were ill equipped to handle the roads. Quebec has made snow tires mandatory and early stats show accident rates have dropped. It’s time for Ontario to adopt the same law, possibly only for cars registered in eastern and northern Ontario. The only kudos worth dishing out are reserved for the snowplow operators who managed to keep our roads passable, and for the bus drivers who have to put up with substandard equipment. Stuck buses and slow cars are not a recipe for smooth travel. All levels of government have a part to play in finding solutions, because it’s likely it will snow again one day.
Things we learn when the snow piles up
A
mazingly, after all these years, we keep learning new things about winter, and about ourselves in winter. To take only the most obvious, we can look out the window on a sunny Wednesday and enjoy the beauty of the new snow that was our bitter enemy on a hellish Tuesday last week. What weird people we Canadians are. We learn that sometimes wiper blades don’t work very well when the snow is thick. That’s a scary thing to learn. We leap out of the car when the light is red and do what we can. Others do the same. One guy was doing it when the light was green. He got back into the car, then got out and did it again. Nobody honked at him. That’s another thing we learn:

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town most people are patient when conditions are difficult. But then we learn, from reading the papers, that not everybody is. There was a certain amount of yelling at OC Transpo on social media, as if somehow buses operated on different streets from the rest of us and didn’t have to wait, like the rest of us, for people who had to clean their windshields or people who had just discovered, on hills, that all-weather tires don’t work in all weather.

are helpful; there would have been hundreds of people out there pushing the cars of people they had never met. We didn’t need to learn, but it was good to be reminded of the good job the city does in getting snow out of the way. Despite a record snowfall, most of the arterials and a lot of the side streets were clear by late Tuesday night. By the next day you could even walk on the sidewalks, in most places. We learn what a twisted sense of humour winter has, enjoying the twisted prank of cancelling some Winterlude events because it’s too warm and cancelling other Winterlude events because it’s too cold.

tions that were closed, events that were cancelled. But the show did go on in many places. Watching the Senators game on TV, you had to admire the 15,000 or so intrepid souls who made the trek out to the Canadian Tire Centre, an ordeal at the best of times. I bet they were happy when they got there, and not a little proud of themselves. Some of us celebrate being able to brave the elements. Others just curse the elements. Still others go south and send gloating postcards. Think what they’re missing. Winter brings out the grouch in some, to be sure. Some people wanted their little crescent cleared immediately. Some groups that didn’t postpone events got critical emails and tweets. That’s the thanks they got. Many years ago I was working at a paper in Manitoba on the day of the worst blizzard in decades.

Sacred Heart student visits Arctic John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sacred Heart High School grade 11 student Annelind Jones has seen and learned about the Arctic. This is all thanks to a program offered by Global Vision, a Canadian charitable organization that offers young Canadians opportunities to learn about Canada’s Arctic and some of the pressing challenges currently facing the North. The Arctic Youth Ambassador Caucus, which happened from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 last fall, saw a group of youth ages 16 to 24 from across Canada travel to Iqaluit in Nunavut to engage with youth from the North on finding solutions to some of the pressing challenges facing the North such as climate change, food security and education. Annelind was a member of this group. Annelind heard about the possibility of participating in this trip to the Arctic through former Sacred Heart teacher Marina Westbrook. There was a requirement that Annelind raise a portion of the funds needed for the trip which she accomplished by holding a lunch time bake sale at Sacred Heart. Her application was accepted and she was part of the trip which saw her spend Halloween in Iqaluit as the trip was from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1. She met the other members of the group for the first time at the airport before flying to Iqaluit but she said that as youth with similar interests, friendships formed easily. She still keeps in touch with some of those whom she met on the trip. In Nunavut, the group was involved in discussions with youth from the North about issues like food security and climate change. With regard to the issue of education, Annelind and the group met with the Minister of Education of Nunavut. They had also taken school books and supplies with them to donate to schools there where they talked with students and heard their experiences. Annelind learned that youth in Nunanut have to travel to the south, including to Ottawa, for post-secondary education because there is no post-secondary institution in the North. In addition, another challenge in education in the North is the curriculum. Currently the curriculum from Alberta is used but the wish is for a home grown curriculum which would include more aspects of the Inuit culture in it. Food security is a challenge in the North. Indeed, the group from the south took their own boxes of food with them because food in the North is just so expensive. The group learned that part of
Annelind Jones the problem with regard to food security in today’s North is that the youth there have abandoned the traditional hunting and fishing practices of the previous generation, eliminating these traditional foods from their diets. In addition to the challenge that now exists to introduce more traditional cultural food into the diet of today’s Northern youth, there are also problems with regard to improving the supply of fresh foods. For instance, an attempt to develop a greenhouse failed because there is just not enough sunshine to sustain such an endeavour. The purpose of this Global Vision “Arctic Youth Ambassador Caucus” is to engage today’s youth in Arctic issues, allowing youth from all parts of Canada to engage in round tables on Northern issues and to meet with Northern youth and leaders to learn about the history and culture of the North and then be able to return back to their home communities to share their experiences, increasing awareness of Canada’s North. Annelind will be trying to raise awareness of the issues facing today’s North as she will be making presentations at Sacred Heart as well as at other schools, telling about what she learned on the trip. Annelind says that she had always dreamed of going to the Arctic, calling it an “obsession of sorts” and so she was thrilled at getting this chance to travel to the Arctic in this Global Vision initiative. She says that she also loves winter so the chilly weather in Iqaluit at that time of year did not dampen her enthusiasm. She found that this Global Vision trip was well organized and provided lots of opportunities for her to learn. She says that she would
eagerly do something else with the organization, noting that Global Vision is currently offering a trip to Peru. Annelind praises her parents for being so supportive and allowing her to go on the trip to Nunavut. Besides liking winter and travel, Annelind also likes to play hockey. She plays with the house league Goulbourn Rockets midget team. As one of the few students at Sacred Heart with an aboriginal heritage, Annelind is able to bring a unique perspective to some class discussions such as a discussion of aboriginal spirituality in religion class. Annelind has also played the role of Santa’s elf for the past three years at Sacred Heart’s “Lighting of the Tree” ceremony before Christmas. This event always includes a visit by Santa Claus and Annelind serves as his elf. This all came about when the opportunity to do so was presented when she was a member of the school’s Social Justice Club in grade nine. A tall student, Annelind in this role as Santa’s elf goes somewhat against the grain as Santa’s elf is usually associated with being short in stature. But it works as she has played the role for three years now. Global Vision was founded in 1991 by former Member of Parliament Terrence Clifford who is now a member of the Order of Canada. The goal of the charitable organization is to bring together young Canadians to prepare them for success in the global economy through hands-on experiences in leadership and governance. Global Vision’s “Arctic Youth Ambassador Caucus” program was first offered in 2014 and then again last fall. It allows youth who are curious about the indigenous culture and history of the North to meet and discuss Northern issues with youth and leaders from the North. There is one group of youth from southern Canada which meets with youth from the North, engaging in roundtable discussions about issues such as food security, environment and education. These youth from southern Canada like Annelind learn about Northern culture from their Northern peers and meet with community and native leaders from Nunavut. See SACRED HEART STUDENT, page 11
OPEN HOUSE-SAT., FEB.27, 2-4PM
Our next meeting of Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee will take place on Thursday, March 3rd. The main RideauGoulbourn related item is the commemorative naming of the fire station in North Gower after 50-year volunteer firefighter Allen Sadler. This application was submitted by the local firefighters and was subject to a 60-day public consultation period, which concluded in January. Following that, which resulted in near unanimous support for the naming, the commemoration was approved by the Commemorative Naming Committee. This is now the next step, following which, if approved, it will rise to Council in March. ARAC will be receiving a presentation on the 2016 Wild Parsnip Strategy at the March meeting as well. This will speak to the work undertaken over the summer of 2015, which featured accelerated grass cutting and herbicide application as well as detailed mapping of the proliferation of this noxious weed. Further, the plan for 2016 will also be discussed as well as the efforts of the City to work with our partners and neighbours on this file, such as the NCC, the City of Gatineau, OMAFRA, the Ministry of the Environment, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, among others.

Olympic Test Event in Rio lets Erica Wiebe experience what will happen at Olympics Continued from page 3
The first couple of days in Rio saw Erica acclimatizing to the environment and preparing for the competition. Mornings were spent training with the wrestling team on the mats, followed by off-mat training in the evenings. The day of competition unfolded in a similar way in which the Olympic Games will happen in August, five months from now. Erica recalls being nervous as she was standing in the athlete holding area waiting for her name to be called to march out into the Olympic Stadium for her first match of the competition. But when she stepped out onto the mats, her wrestling took over from the nerves. She expects that these are feelings similar to those that she will have at the upcoming Olympics

Airport Parkway and Lester Road Widening Environmental Assessment Study Open House #3 Thursday, March 10, 2016 Jim Durrell Recreation Centre – Ellwood Hall 1265 Walkley Road 6 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 7 p.m.) OC Transpo routes 1, 8, 41, 87, 114, 144 and 146 Free parking is available The City of Ottawa is undertaking the Airport Parkway and Lester Road Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation requirements related to growth in the surrounding communities and airport lands. This third Open House will provide an overview of the study progress to date and present the Recommended Plan for the project. Your participation in Open House meetings is an important component of the study where we you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. This EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing, and evaluating alternatives, which will result in a Recommended Plan which will be presented to City Council for approval.
with the only difference being that the Olympics will probably have 10,000 or so people cheering in the stands. This was not the case at this Olympic Test Event. Erica views this trip to this Olympic Test Event in Rio de Janeiro a great success as she was able to gain experience of all the sights, sounds and feelings that will happen at the Olympics. This means that when she is in Rio for the Olympics later this year, she will know what to expect and will have a plan as to how to deal with everything. Erica won her weight class in the Canadian wrestling team Olympic trials before Christmas and now has to perform well in an Olympic qualifier event to seal her trip to the Olympics.

Jack Rabb of Richmond to play for Queens University Gaels Special to the News
Jack Rabb of Richmond will be suiting up for the Queens University Gaels this fall. He has recently committed to play football at Queens following this past season when he played for the Bel-Air Norsemen, the midget-level team that welcomes players from the Bell Warriors Football Club’s bantam program. Jack was one of these Bell Warriors products and was part of the Bel-Air Norsemen’s National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA) midget championship

Lady SENS players run Rockets practice John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It was only a practice but excitement reigned for the Goulbourn Rockets Atom 1 and Atom 2 teams on Monday, Feb. 15 at the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. That’s because the practice for these nine year old players was going to be run not by the team’s regular coaches but by six players from the Ottawa Lady SENS junior women’s hockey team. It was an excited group of bluejerseyed Rockets who took to the ice, warming up by skating with their guest Lady SENS coaches
around the ice surface, first forwards and then backward before assembling at centre ice where the Lady SENS introduced themselves to the group before issuing instructions – the practice was formally underway. Skating and shooting drills followed, all under the leadership and guidance of the Lady SENS. In one drill, a Rockets player would receive a pass from a Lady SENS player before skating down the ice, giving and taking another pass before finally shooting on a goalie. Several times during the practice, the Rockets all gathered at the side of the boards where a Lady SENS player would outline the next drill.
And then it would be off to do that drill with lots of skating, passing and shooting. The practice ended up with all of the Rockets taking part in a “British Bulldog” type game with the Rockets skating the length of the ice, with pucks shot along the ice from the side of the rink, first by just the Lady SENS players and then by Rockets players as they got knocked out of the game if hit by one of the pucks as they were skating along. The last player left skating the length of the ice was the winner. The practice ended with an on-ice group photograph of the Rockets with the Lady SENS, their coaches for a practice. And the Rockets then
slapped their sticks on the ice as a “thank you” gesture to the Lady SENS. Having six players from the Ottawa Lady SENS conduct a practice for these Goulbourn Rockets atom teams all happened as a result of the fourth annual Do It For Daron (DIFD) Night which the Ottawa Lady Senators hosted at the Richcraft Sensplex in Kanata on Sunday, Dec. 20. This DIFD Night raised $10,000 for Do It For Daron (DIFD), an organization which is involved with raising awareness and transforming youth mental health. One of the items up for grabs in an auction at this DIFD Night was the opportunity to have the Ottawa Lady SENS run a practice for a team. The successful team in the bidding for this turned out to be the Kanata Girls Hockey Association Bantam AA Rangers team but the Rockets followed up, offering to pay a similar amount as per the
winning bid for a practice with the Lady SENS. While the whole Ottawa Lady SENS team could not do it, six of the players were available and this is how the practice came about, much to the delight and excitement of the Goulbourn Rockets atoms. The six Lady SENS who ran the Goulbourn Rockets atoms practice on Monday, Feb. 15 included Katherine Chadwick, Anonda Hoppner, Sydney Lyndon, Jensen Smigelsky, Kailen Jeffries and Maddison Stitt. The Ottawa Lady SENS team junior women’s hockey team involves players born in the years 1997 to 2000. Current players with the team have advanced to the team after playing with previous teams like the Ottawa Senators Intermediate AA, the Kanata Midget AA, the Kanata Bantam AA, the Ontario Hockey Academy, the Gloucester Midget AA, the Nepean Midget AA and the Kingston Intermediate AA.
During the renovations, we are hammering the prices too!

Mayor’s Report
Making Our rOads safer By: Mayor Jim Watson
Regardless of the season, residents of Ottawa are always on the move. Our City Council has made great efforts to ensure that Ottawa is accessible to as many residents as possible. Ottawa consistently ranks among the best cycling and pedestrian communities in Ontario. With more than 5,400 km of roadways and 1,580 km of sidewalks, the City of Ottawa is very familiar with the unique challenges residents can face on their commute. In fact, Ottawa even has approximately 40 km of cycling networks maintained throughout the winter. No matter what form of transportation you choose, the City of Ottawa is committed to ensuring the safest and most efficient trip possible. With so many commuters choosing alternative methods of transportation, awareness and road safety become increasingly important. That is why Council introduced the innovative Safer Roads Ottawa Program. Safer Roads Ottawa is collaboration between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department. The program was developed to prevent or eliminate road deaths and serious injuries for all residents, including the most vulnerable users of our roads and pathways. Through changing road safety culture, community engagement and the development of sustainable safe transportation environments; SRO initiatives take a comprehensive approach to eliminating collision incidents. For instance, the “Stay Safe, Stay Back” campaign focuses the issue of cycling and driver safety, specifically when it involves large trucks. The campaign educates cyclists and heavy truck operators about the unique dangers of sharing a roadway, such as blind spots. Ottawa’s comprehensive approach to road safety has produced encouraging results so far. Reviewing traffic collision data from 2013 compared to 2014 reflects this progress. Ottawa has seen: • Injuries relating to collisions decrease by 7% • Total number of reportable collisions decrease by 2.5% • Pedestrian collisions decrease by 13% • Cycling collisions decrease by 21% • Motorcycle collisions decrease by 8% • A new annual fund for Councillors to invest in traffic calming initiatives at the neighbourhood level. Although we have made great progress so far, until we have eliminated road deaths and serious injuries, we still have much work to do. If you would like to learn more about the Safer Roads Ottawa Program, please visit www.ottawa.ca.

Kathy Denyes is face, voice of McDonald’s in Stittsville John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
John Curry/Metroland
Kathy Denyes, the only remaining staff member from when McDonald’s in Stittsville opened in 1996, is at her familiar spot at the drive-thru window where she accepts orders and takes payments, becoming familiar as both the voice and face of the restaurant.
Kathy Denyes has been serving customers at McDonald’s in Stittsville for 20 years now, the only employee still there from when the restaurant first opened in February 1996. She could be called the face of McDonald’s in Stittsville as she has served customers at the drive-thru window for years where she gets a lot of customers exclaiming “You’re still here” when they see her at the window. Many remember her from when they were younger, going through the drive-thru with their parents, perhaps after swimming lessons or some such activity. But even more appropriately, perhaps, Kathy could be called the voice of McDonald’s in Stittsville because it is her voice that drive-thru patrons hear as she helps them with their orders at the drive-thru order station. Indeed, these days Kathy can find herself shopping in a grocery store and while at the check-out counter she will be recognized by her voice, yes, that same voice that has asked drivethru customers for their orders over the years. And Kathy can’t say enough good things about these customers. She
says that there are so many wonderful customers who come through the drive-thru. “They make my day,” she says quite simply. In her early years at the Stittsville McDonald’s, Kathy worked at various tasks in the restaurant but since 2002, when she suffered a broken ankle, she has been taking orders and payments at the drive-thru window. And she just loves it. “I love talking to people,” she says, adding that some might say that she talks too much. But in her role at the drive-thru window, she gets to know customers. A lot of her customers, especially in the morning, are repeat customers who drive through regularly. And how well does she get to know them? Well, some customers, perhaps not quite fully awake yet, sometimes ask her what they normally take in their coffee. Kathy works the 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. shift at the drive-thru window, although recently she has cut back to four days a week, Tuesday through Friday. This means that she is on duty for both the breakfast and lunch rushes but being busy is OK with her. See KATHY DENYES, page 19

Kathy Denyes began at McDonald’s when it opened in 1996 Continued from page 18
“I love it when it gets busy,” she says, noting that it feels good when the drivethru runs smoothly. And it can be busy, with the record one-hour volume being over 100 vehicles. Kathy’s career with McDonald’s started not when the Stittsville McDonald’s opened 20 years ago but even prior to that when she and her husband Ken lived in Whitby. She was self-employed at the time and became a regular at a local McDonald’s, going there for coffee every day. As a regular, she got to know the operators and after she sold her business, she asked about working there and was hired. She worked there for two years before she, her husband Ken and family moved to Stittsville for Ken’s work as a printer. With two school-age boys at the time, Kathy had decided to stay at home and not work but she found that she was “so bored” that she ended up applying for work at the McDonald’s in Bells Corners. When she put in her application, she was told that the restaurant was not hiring at that time but she had not even left the restaurant before she was asked what hours she wanted to work. A good recommendation from her previous boss at the Whitby restaurant had no doubt helped and she began working 9 a.m. to
RE/MAX METRO-CITY REALTY LTD., BROkERAgE
3 p.m., hours that still let her be home before and after school for her two youngsters. And so she was working at the Bells Corners McDonald’s when the Stittsville McDonald’s opened in Feb. 1996. Perry McKenna was the area supervisor for McDonald’s at the time and Kathy was able to switch to the new Stittsville restaurant. And now, 20 years later, she is the last one left from the initial staff at the restaurant while Perry, along with his wife Jo-Ann, remain as the long time owners of the restaurant. Kathy says that Perry and Jo-Ann have been very good to her over the years which is one of the reasons why she is still there, along with the presence and patronage of the many faithful and regular customers. Indeed, she says that she cannot believe that it has been 20 years now since she started working at the McDonald’s in Stittsville. Some of the restaurant’s current offerings such as wraps and pastries have been added over the years. She also notes that customers order more coffee now as coffee has become a very popular item for customers. But her job over the years at the drivethru window has remain basically the same, a case of what she calls non-stop multi tasking in which she receives orders, takes payments and makes change.
She always has to remember to shut off her speaker when she is dealing with a customer at the drive-thru window so that a customer at the order station does not think that she is talking to him or her. And if there is a lull in the traffic at the drive-thru window, Kathy always has something else to do, helping out at other tasks in the restaurant. Kathy’s only regret in her 20 years at McDonald’s in Stittsville is that the time has gone so fast. She notes that Stittsville has changed a lot over these two decades. And while she is correct in this observation, one thing that has not changed, it must be said, is the voice and face encountered at the drive-thru window at McDonald’s. McDonald’s in Stittsville opened at the Crossing Bridge Square plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in mid-February, 1996, with Adam Dawe as its first manager. Long time current owner Perry McKenna was the operations manager for McDonald’s regional office in Ottawa at the time. This new restaurant in 1996 employed 65 full and part-time staff, one of which was Kathy Denyes. The first customers at this McDonald’s restaurant in Stittsville were Stittsville resident Mike Moher and his children Catherine and Mark Moher.
At Rotary meeting Continued from page 17
He said that the insurance industry is a great career for young people today, providing them with an opportunity to have an extraordinary career at either the local, national or even international level. David has been married for 27 years and has three children. He attended high school in Quebec City where his father was the school principal. He then attended Mohawk College in Hamilton before beginning his career in the insurance business in Ottawa in 1979.

Merrily We Go Preschool visits fire hall John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Youngsters from the Merrily We Go Preschool in Stittsville got more than just a tour of the Ottawa Fire Services Station 81 on Thursday, Feb. 18. They even got some help with literacy skills. As Station 81 volunteer firefighter Brenda Tirrell showed the station’s fire vehicles to the youngsters, she pointed out the identification markings on each of the vehicles, each of which also indicates the vehicle’s particular function. So she pointed out “P81,” the pumper truck at the station, noting that “P” is for pumper. This vehicle responds to all the calls, including fires, car accidents and other emergencies. Then the youngsters were told about the vehicle identified as “T81,” which is the tanker truck at the station (“T” is for tanker). It is a vehicle that is filled with water for firefighting purposes. “It’s kind of like a big swimming pool,” firefighter Tirrell told the youngsters. And the youngsters also got to see the vehicle in the fire hall identified as “L81,” which is the ladder truck at the station (“L” is for ladder). This vehicle features an extension ladder which is used in firefighting. During their visit to the fire hall, the Merrily We Go Preschool youngsters got to see volunteer firefighter Josh Gibeault put on all of the firefighting gear which a firefighter wears when fighting a fire. See YOUNGSTERS, page 21

Youngsters see firefighting equipment Continued from page 20
Firefighters Tirrell and Gibeault also explained much of the equipment used by firefighters on their emergency calls, ranging from an axe to a variety of chains saws to Jaws of Life extrication tools. The Merrily We Go Preschool youngsters had the opportunity to sit in a fire truck and also got to see the flashing lights of a fire vehicle turned on. In addition, each youngster had the chance to hold one of the hoses used by firefighters in fighting a fire. They were also shown the antique 1927 fire vehicle that is housed at Station 81 and is usually seen each year in the Christmas Parade of Lights. The youngsters were also visited by Sector Chief Todd Horricks who is in charge of six stations altogether including Station 81. Firefighter Tirrell advised the youngsters to remind their parents about three important fire prevention initiatives: developing a safe fire escape plan for the home, installing a carbon moxoxide detector in the home and ensuring that there is a fire extinguisher in the home. Jayne Tanner, teacher/owner of the Merrily We Go Preschool, reminded the youngsters that firefighters do more than just fight fires as they respond to car accidents and other emergencies. Wherever someone is in trouble, firefighters are there, she told the youngsters. The Merrily We Go Preschool, which operates in space at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street, holds a field trip to the nearby Station 81 fire hall every year. The Merrily We Go Preschool is committed to working within each child’s comfort zone to ensure optimal social, emotional and educational results. Each class of 12 children has two teachers plus a duty parent every day, ensuring a radio of one adult to every four children. The Merrily We Go Preschool’s philosophy is that children learn best by playing, seeing, touching, tasting, hearing and doing. It is also believed that children learn best where they feel accepted for who they are and for what they want to be. The Merrily We Go Preschool program includes free play time, circle time, sensory tub, art table, crafts, gym class and snack time. The Merrily We Go Preschool is for three and four years olds with classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and on Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons. The curriculum is based on a different letter each week as well as a different colour each month. Both reading and math readiness skills are taught to help prepare them for kindergarten. Merrily We Go Preschool is now accepting registration for its fall 2016 classes. This summer Merrily We Go Preschool will be offering two summer camps for three to five year olds. One camp running from July 18 to
July 22 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon will have the theme “At the Beach.” The other summer camp running from Aug. 15 to Aug. 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon will have a “Dinosaurs” theme.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
Thomas Cavanagh Construction has advised that due to weather and equipment issues the tree removal was delayed for this site and commenced on February 24th, 2016. For safety reasons, residents are requested to ensure they do not enter into the construction zone. A tree cutting permit has been issued by the City of Ottawa for this project and Cavanagh will be following the conditions associated with that permit. Any concerns should be directed to the City. For more information on this development please visit my web site. Ash Woodlot Rehabilitation Program Ladybird Park at 65 Sirocco Crescent in the Timbermere Subdivision The City is continuing with its removal of Ash trees as a result of the Emerald Ash Borer. The removal area for this location is 0.7 hectares, and is concentrated on removing hazardous trees along the edge of the pathways and behind the homes. For public safety reasons, identified areas of the park and pathways will be closed to the public during all ash tree removals. Site preparation timing (debris/brush clean-up, invasive species control, etc): Winter and spring 2016 Maintained areas of the park will be cleared of small woody debris once the snow has melted and conditions are dry enough for equipment access. Reforestation timing will commence in Fall 2016 planting season and the area of 0.7ha will be reforested. Typical reforestation species that will be considered are: red maple, sugar maple, silver maple, serviceberry, hackberry, white pine, burr oak, red oak, American elder, white cedar, basswood, nannyberry, large tooth aspen, trembling aspen, dogwood and speckled alder. The Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native, highly destructive wood-boring beetle that feeds under the bark of ash trees. All species of ash are susceptible to attack, except mountain ash, which is not a true ash species. Since it was first identified in Michigan in 2002, EAB has killed millions of ash trees in Ontario and many parts of the United States. It poses a major economic and environmental threat to urban and forested areas. It was confirmed in Ottawa in 2008 and its impacts can be clearly seen spreading from the St. Laurent area. Since the insect spends most of its lifecycle under the bark of trees, it can be easily moved with firewood or other tree materials such as nursery stock, logs, brush and larger wood chips. This insect is able to fly, but since its spread has been primarily along major highways and transport routes, it is clear that humans are the main vector of dispersal. To learn more about the Emerald Ash Bore and the City’s strategy you can visit Ottawa.ca. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community.

Justin Phillips released by RedBlacks Special to the News
For Justin Phillips, playing for the Ottawa RedBlacks of the Canadian Football League was a case of coming home. The Canadian Football League (CFL) veteran defensive player who attended Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville made history by becoming part of the first trade made in the history
Justin Phillips
of the Ottawa RedBlacks, the new CFL team that began playing in the summer of 2014. He was the team’s inaugural captain. But Justin’s tenure with the RedBlacks came to an end last Friday when he was released by the team. Justin, who was born in 1985, had just recently been in Stittsville where he served as a judge in a chili competition at the Stittsville Legion. Earlier in January, he had been a special guest and presenter at the Bell Warriors award banquet at the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club in Nepean. Justin played minor football with the Bell Warriors Football Club and was inducted into the Bell Warriors Hall of Fame in 2014, just the second inductee and first player to be inducted. Justin was acquired by the RedBlacks from the Calgary Stampeders where he had played for seven seasons. The Ottawa RedBlacks had
their eye on Justin in the expansion draft that provided the RedBlacks with their initial crop of CFL players from other teams but he was not able to be selected then. The trade accomplished what could not be accomplished in the draft – Justin Phillips became an Ottawa RedBlack. Justin played community football with the Bell Warriors of the National Capital Amateur Football Association and also played one season of football for the Sacred Heart Huskies before going on to play Canadian university football with the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Knights. He was a member of Wilfrid Laurier’s Vanier Cup winning team in 2005 and in 2006, his final season at Wilfrid Laurier, he was named a first team Ontario University Athletics all-star as well as a second team Canadian Interuniversity Sport AllCanadian. Selected by the Calgary Stampeders in the first round
and fifth overall in the 2007 CFL Canadian player draft, Justin was a member of the Cal-
gary Stampeders’ Grey Cup winning team in 2008.

“If we’re sittin’ we’re knittin’.” This is the motto of the new Knotty Knitters Group which has developed at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. And what a prolific output already from the newly formed group. Members have knitted over 300 stint sleeves and baby caps and have added slippers to the mix, with 20 pairs knitted so far. It all began when Stittsville Seniors Community resident Monetta Ayotte joined the knitting group that has been started at the Stittsville Legion under the auspices of Legion member Aileen Appel. Monetta took the knitting message back to the Stittsville Seniors Community and one by one, the other ladies started knitting as well. As Monetta says, it was not only a matter of Stittsville Seniors Community residents keeping their hands and minds active with this knitting but also it was a case of doing something to help others, as all of the knitted items are given free of charge by the Legion to local hospitals and hospices. The Stittsville Legion, through Mrs. Appel, provides the yarn for these knitters, with the yarn either donated or acquired at garage sales. When a number of items have been completed by the knitters of the Knotty Knitters Group, the Legion arranges to pick up the
items and drops them off at the local hospitals and hospices. All of the members of the Knotty Knitters Group knit at their own pace and on their own time. There are no group gatherings. The knitters range in age from Jayne Spence at 77 years old to Dorothy Taylor at 101 years of age. Members of the Knotty Knitters Group include Monetta Ayotte, Doris O’Neill, Ethel Upex, Lillian Verhoef, Dorothy Wilkie, Vera Floyd, Jayne Spence, Lucille Peterson, Dorothy Taylor, Margaret Stone and Diana Zeggil. The experience of the knitters also has a range. Dorothy Wilkie has been knitting for only a couple of months. But others, like Margaret Stone, learned to knit in school. Monette remembers knitting for soldiers in World War Two. For Lil Verhoef, this marks a return to knitting after years of making mats out of old rags either for sale or for giving away. Doris O’Neill uses a knitting machine to produce items for the group. Aileen Appel of the Legion says that the items knitted by this Knotty Knitters Group are quickly used by the hospitals and hospices. The stint sleeves or pic line covers are particularly popular with different colours in demand at times. For instance, red, white and black pic line covers are popular with Ottawa Senators fans. Orange and black pic line covers are popular around Halloween time. See KNITTING, page 27

Knitting for worthwhile causes Continued from page 26
Aileen says that providing these knitted items for hospitals and hospices is doing something very worthwhile and that the Knotty Knitters Group is essential to the effort. She notes that she is now supplying yarn to her sister in Winnipeg who has started a knitting group there to knit pic line covers. Aileen heads the knitting group which meets every Monday at 6:30 p.m. at the Legion Hall. Attendance is free and those unable to knit are taught how to do it. The group usually num-
bers from eight to ten people, ranging in age from 40 years old to 89 years old. It offers a venue where knitters can enjoy comradeship while also helping with a worthwhile project, supplying items to hospitals and hospices. Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric. Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of interlocking loops. Knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric made from a one-dimensional yarn or thread. Knitting was initially developed for garments that must
be elastic or stretch in response to the wearer’s motions, such as socks and hosiery. Knitted garments are often more formfitting than woven garments since their elasticity allows them to contour to the body’s outline more closely. The word “knitting” comes from the old English word meaning to knot. One of the earliest known examples of knitting was cotton socks with stranded knit colour patterns found in Egypt from the end of the first millennium A.D. The first knitting trade guild, which happened to be for men only, was started in Paris in 1527.

Question: I have been divorced for about 5 years. When we separated my spouse and I both ran different small businesses and mine was quite successful. After separation I agreed to provide monthly spousal support payments. Since then my business has not done very well and I am now behind on payments. My ex has not made any demands yet but has said that when business picks up for me I’ll have to start making payments again and catch up. I don’t think my business is going to improve – is it possible to avoid these payments?
Special to the News
I assume your obligation to pay spousal support is due to a signed separation agreement or a formal court order. The first step will be to review the agreement or order to see what limitations have been placed on the obligation to pay support. For example, even if they don’t put a time limit on support payments many separation agreements will permit changes to be made in certain circumstances such as illness or loss of employment. If you don’t believe the terms of a separation agreement are of any assistance you may still be able to modify your obligations if you can establish that there has been a material change in circumstances.

Here comes the World Day of Prayer! This year’s ecumenical World Day of Prayer service in Richmond will be hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street on Friday, March 4. A luncheon with Cuban flavours will be served at 11:30 a.m., compliments of the Richmond World Day of Prayer Committee. This will be followed by the World Day of Prayer service as prepared by the women of Cuba. Guest speaker at this service will be Lyn Hughes who recently did a ministry and mission to Cuba. A free will offering collected during the worship service will be going to the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada to support projects that benefit people in need around the world. Everyone is welcome to attend this World Day of Prayer service. The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christians from all traditions who come together on the first Friday of March each year to observe a common day of prayer. The World Day of Prayer is celebrated annually in over 170 countries, with the movement bringing together women of various races, cultures and traditions around the world. The World Day of Prayer started in the United States in 1887. The movement expanded to Canada and then to the British Isles in the 1930’s. Through the World Day of Prayer, women are encouraged to become aware of other countries and cultures. They are encouraged to take up the burdens of other people, to sympathize with the problems of other countries and cultures and to pray with and for them. The World Day of Prayer aims to demonstrate that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world. Every year the World Day of Prayer service focuses on a different country and a specific theme. Last year’s theme was “Jesus said to them: “Do You Know What I Have Done to You?”, with the Bahamas being the focus country. This year the theme is “Receive Children, Receive Me”, with Cuba being the writer country.

with a court order, or a separation agreement, the legal test for a material change in circumstances is typically establishing that something has occurred which was not foreseen or addressed when the initial obligation to pay support was created. The failure of a business may be considered a material change but the surrounding context is important. Courts have determined that to be a material change a loss of income should be of a permanent nature so a temporary business downturn would likely not change your support obligations.

Stittsville News ‘Gwen’s Team’ wins at Rotary Trivia Night John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It was like déjà vu all over again. At the first-ever Trivia Challenge Night hosted by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Goulbourn in Stittsville back on Friday, Feb. 24, 2006, members of the winning team, called “Fosses and Friends” at that time, included Bruce Wallace, Cathy Edwards, Helene Hutchings, Martin Hutchings and the late Gwen Foss. Other members were Niki Foss, Richard Foss and Andrew Lovatt. At last Friday’s 11th annual Trivia Challenge Night hosted by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, members of the winning team, now called “Gwen’s Team” in memory of Gwen Foss, included Bruce Wallace, Cathy Edwards, Helene Hutchings and Martin Hutchings, all members of that inaugural winning team. Other members of this year’s winning team included Isla Foss, Aidan Foss, Kalle Leppik and Suzy Waldman. The team will be donating its cash prize winnings to Lymphoma Canada in memory of Gwen Foss. This team has participated in this annual Trivia Challenge Night over the years, always among the top scoring teams. Last year, for instance, Team Foss finished second, just one point behind the winning team. And “Gwen’s Team” had yet another reason to celebrate at this year’s Trivia Challenge Night because last Friday was also the 57th birthday of team member Martin Hutchings. He not only was presented with

a candle-lit birthday cake by his teammates but also was serenaded with the song “Happy Birthday” sung by all those present at the event which included some 19 other eight-member teams. “Gwen’s Team” was leading in the Trivia Challenge Night after five of the ten rounds of questions with 37 points, three up on “Team JenCor” with its 34 points. Two teams, “The Parental Units” and “WTF” were tied for third place with 32 points. In the end, after the full ten rounds of trivia questions, “Gwen’s Team” finished with 80 points, eight more than the runner-up “Rotary Club of West Ottawa team.” “Team JenCor” was third with 69 points, with last year’s champion, “Team Lauwiliwilinukunuku’oi’oi” in fourth place. Again this year, as in past years, this Trivia Challenge Night included ten rounds of trivia questions, each with ten questions. One question in each round was a daily double with correct answers worth two points. Teams also were able to purchase “mulligans” before the start of the event, up to three mulligans per team. Only one mulligan could be used per round but its use guaranteed a correct answer for the question. Rotary Club member David McNamara served as the quizmaster for the evening this year, taking over from long time quizmaster Steve Hunter who transferred to the job of appeals official, settling any queries about the correct trivia answer to a question.

Trivia Challenge Night hosted by Rotary Club Continued from page 33
Teams were given 30 seconds for each question in a round, with music playing as the teams deliberated their answers. You had the music from the game show Jeopardy as well as music by the Monkees, by the Beatles, by Johnny Cash, from the Beverly Hillbillies TV show and more.
The trivia questions were widespread in topic, ranging from the name of the captain who first circumnavigated the world (Francis Drake) to the highest mountain in Switzerland (Mont Rosa) to the planet in the solar system with the most moons (Jupiter) to what famous North American landmark is separated by Goat Island and
Luna Island (Niagara Falls). Judges for the evening, who confirmed the answers, were John Curry, editor of the Stittsville News; city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri; and Dr. Corrine Motluk of Stittsville Optometry. Among the team names this year were Polyphonic Cacophony, Grey

Matters, The New Generation, A Work in Progress, The Magnificient Seven and Quizzards. Again this year, as with all of the previous Trivia Challenge Nights hosted by the Rotary Club, the event was held at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Blue and yellow balloons, representing the Rotary colours, adorned the area
around the quizmaster’s microphone. Blue tablecloths covered each of the tables around which the teams sat. Each team had plenty of popcorn on which to munch while answering the trivia questions. Pizza from Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria was served to everyone after the third round of trivia questions.

Born July 2010. Jersey is a handsome boy always dressed up in his fancy clothes. When he was rescued he did not look like this; his eyelid was turned inside out and his eyelashes were scraping his eyeballs... he was in great deal of pain and in danger of going blind… He had his corrective surgery and healed up... look at his beautiful eyes now... he is enjoying both of his eyes in great delight to watch everything which happens around him... and looking to see you driving up to meet him at the sanctuary.

PATEL, NALINIBEN
In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Arvella Taylor, who passed away February 21, 2015. It is hard to believe that a year has gone by since we were last together. We miss your love and wonderful smile. You will forever be in our hearts. There’s magic in a Mother’s touch, and sunshine in her smile. There’s love in everything she does to make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, her words are warm and wise. There is kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace, and we see the light of heaven shining from a Mother’s face. Heaps of Love from your angels on earth!

She is sorely missed by children Gerd (Keldine FitzGerald), Beate Myhill and Hartmuth of Stittsville and Kanata, and Ursula (Jim Hall), of Dartmouth N.S., grandchildren Bill, Karyn, Tara, David, Alex, and eight great grandchildren, as well as her many friends. After a few years in Manotick, they settled in Richmond where they started and ran a small tree nursery, many of whose trees can be found in and around Richmond and Ottawa. After Reinhard’s death in 1979, Helma moved to Kanata where she lived until moving to the Garden wing of Granite Ridge in Stittsville. Helma worked for many years at the Protestant Children’s Village and then the Heritage Canada Foundation. She devoted many years as a volunteer to the Kanata Food Cupboard and St. John’s Anglican Church in South March. She loved knitting, gardening, being with her family, and was a wonderful mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, friend and neighbour. A service will be held on Monday, February 29 at 11 a.m. at St. John’s South March, with a visitation at 10 a.m. before the service and a light lunch after in the church hall. If desired, donations may be made in her name to the Kanata Food Cupboard. Our grateful thanks go to the staff at Granite Ridge, her helper Fitzi Grant, and all those who were there for her and us during her lifetime and particularly her last few difficult years. RIP Mutti! We love you.

MARY COOK Memories They hung from a nail on the doorframe just beside the Findlay Oval. They were much larger than work socks, but were the same shape, made of thin wood and with two perfectly round holes in the centre. Worn smooth from many years of usage, Father said his great-grandfather had made them, and they came from Germany with the few belongings they brought when they arrived in Canada. I knew them only as stocking stretchers. Father’s work socks came in a bundle from Briscoe’s General Store, and every once in a while, Mother would have to take one or two, after washing, worn beyond wear, and chuck them into the rag bag. Eventually, they would end up in a braided rug. The socks were made of wool, and Father would wear the same pair for a solid week, and by the time Monday wash day rolled around, my sister Audrey would say, “Father’s socks could stand up on their own.” They would be washed with what Mother called the ‘dark clothes,’ and then the socks would be worked onto the wood frames and hung to dry beside the stove. Mother said if
Wool stocking stretchers helped with target practice for Emerson
she didn’t use the frames, the stockings would shrink to the size of a pair of babies’ booties! I was fascinated with these wood frames, and once tried to force a pair of my hateful beige cotton stockings onto them, hoping beyond hope, they would stretch beyond repair. But Mother caught me in the act, and grabbed the stockings before I did them irreparable damage. Emerson was fascinated with the stocking stretchers. But, not for the purpose for which they were intended. He saw another use for them. The brothers had a .22 with which they went on murderous hunting missions for rabbits. I spent many hours praying the rabbits would outsmart them, but alas, one or two would eventually end up on our supper table. I was grateful Mother let me bypass the platter, and have a couple hard-boiled eggs instead. I couldn’t bear to even look at them, circled with boiled potatoes, carrots and onions! At any rate, practicing shooting the .22 was a regular exercise for the brothers. And so, one day Emerson decided the wood stocking stretchers would be a perfect target. He

to see the stretchers had a lot more than two holes in them. And it didn’t take her all day to figure out how they got there. Brothers Earl and Everett were much too meek to pull a trick like that. Emerson was dealt with in the usual fashion, a few cuffs on the ear, and sent to bed without his supper. The stretchers were far from ruined, but in due course a new pair of stocking forms appeared beside the mutilated ones. These came from Scott’s hardware, and were molded from steel into the shape of a pair of stockings. I would sit and look at the new stretchers, and I knew without a doubt, as I saw him look at them, and even taking to his note pads to draw out plans, Emerson would be thinking up another use for the forms, other than keeping Father’s wool socks from shrinking.

figured if you could practice by putting a bullet through one of the two holes in the wood frames, you would become a better shot. Of course, he had to sneak out the stretchers when Mother wasn’t looking, and so one Saturday I noticed they were gone from the nail behind the Findlay Oval. I watched from the kitchen window as Emerson propped the stretchers on a fence post, tying them securely with a piece of bindertwine. Then he stepped back many paces, put the gun to his shoulder and let fly. He missed by a country mile. He took another aim, I saw the stretcher shake, and knew Emerson had made a hit. He slapped his leg. He let go another few shots, but only a few more hit the target. Why the shots didn’t rip the stretchers clear off the post is beyond me. At any rate, Emerson was satisfied, and he plowed through the snow, untied them, and walked back in the house, making sure Mother wasn’t around, and hung them back on the nail behind the stove. It was most unfortunate for Emerson that Mother had a keen eye for anything amiss in her kitchen, and it didn’t take long for her

It’s euchre but with a difference. A Bid Euchre Tournament is being held on Saturday, March 5 at St. John’s Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. Bid Euchre introduces an element of bidding into the game in which the trump suit is decided by which player can bid to take the most tricks. It is this bidding which is not only the key to the game but also is essentially what makes bid euchre different from traditional euchre. Registration for this Bid Euchre Tournament will take place at 12:30 p.m. with the tournament action beginning at 1 p.m. Pre-registration can be done by contacting
Joyce at 613-838-8381 or Rachelle at 613838-5543. Pre-registration, though, is not required. You can just show up the day of the tournament and you will be able to play. The registration fee is $15 per person. This includes a light lunch. There will be cash prizes for the winners in this tournament. All proceeds from the tournament are going to go to the Richmond Bicentennial Planning Committee to help it with its work in planning the events and activities that will take place in Richmond in 2018 to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of the community.
