Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm in Munster is with his wife Angela following Mark’s receiving of the Business Leader of the Year award at the West Ottawa Board of Trade’s Business Excellence Awards gala at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata on Thursday, Feb. 25.

Saunders Farm’s Director of Fun Mark Saunders now has an additional title by which to describe himself – Business Leader of the Year. He received this honour at the 2016 West Ottawa Business Excellence Awards gala at the Brookstreet Hotel on Thursday, Feb. 25 when it was announced that he has been selected as Business Leader of the Year, being chosen by a West Ottawa Board of Trade selection committee over four others on the list of finalists for the award. In accepting the award, he admitted to being a little bit overwhelmed at the honour but he thanked his wife Angela for her support over the years as well as his mother and father, Anne and Bill Saunders, for instilling the principles of hard work, diligence and passion into the operation of Saunders Farm. Mark Saunders was not the only Goulbourn recipient of a major award in these 2016 West Ottawa Business Excellence Awards. The Business of the Year – Medi-

um award went to Amsted DesignBuild of Flewellyn Road in Goulbourn. In accepting the award on behalf of Amsted Design-Build, co-owner Steve Barkhouse noted that the company had celebrated its 25th anniversary year in 2015. He attributed the company’s success to its incredible team of staff that he termed “skilled, talented and dedicated,” calling this “The Amsted Advantage.” There was yet another major award out of the ten presented at the gala evening that was presented to a Stittsville business. The 2016 West Ottawa People’s Choice Award for Restaurant of the Year – Quick Service was presented to Wiches Cauldron, the food wagon on the Carp Road in Stittsville operated by husband and wife Monique and Craig Beaudry. This award category, along with the Restaurant of the Year – Full Service category, saw the award recipients determined not by a selection committee as with the eight Business Excellence Awards but by online voting by the public.

Beth Beckley retires from Stittsville library John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

FLYER

In Your Community Newspaper*

Up until now, a Tuesday evening would mean that Beth Beckley could be found at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library in her role as a public service supervisor, helping library patrons. This would mean missing some family milestones like seeing a grandson quickly improving his skating for hockey. And while she could see it on video shot by her husband Roger who was there, it was not the same as being there herself and witnessing her grandson’s achievement. But this past Tuesday, Beth was going to be there watching her grandson skate and she will continue to be able to do this because last Monday, Feb. 29 was Beth’s last day on the job at the library as she retired after a career spanning a little over 30 years, all in Goulbourn branches. She began a little over 30 years ago as a volunteer at the library. Her sons were young at the time and she admits that she really just wanted to get out of her Munster house for a while, away from her motherly duties. She went on to be a branch assistant at the Richmond library branch, a branch assistant at the Munster library branch, then another stint as a branch assistant at the Richmond branch before switching to the Stittsville library branch in 1998, becoming a public service supervisor. “I like working with people and I like the job,” Beth John Curry/Metroland says in explaining her three-decade career at the library. Beth Beckley has retired as the public service supervisor at the But she admits as well that “it’s just time to go now.” She points to the technology upgrades and other Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library after a 30 year career with the library which included times at all three branches in Goulbourn changes such as self checkouts that tell her that she should move on. – Munster, Richmond and Stittsville.

She says that she plans to do nothing for a couple of months except put her feet up and enjoy family matters such as her grandson skating. A trip to Picton with her mother, who is turning 89 in June, is also on the agenda. “Working with the people – that’s what I’m going to miss,” Beth admits. She wishes to thank everyone that she has had a chance to meet, greet and work beside at the library. “They are the stars,” she says. Beth is being replaced on a temporary basis by Catherine Davies who has worked for the Ottawa Public Library for about 20 years in a number of branches. A competition is being held for a permanent replacement.

Wiches Cauldron tops online voting for Restaurant of the Year - Quick Serve Continued from page 1

What made the Wiches Cauldron win in this category interesting is that as a food wagon, it has not been open in recent months and certainly not during the nomination or online voting periods for this award. But Wiches Cauldron does have a robust social media following which obviously played a big role in being the award recipient.

Monique and Craig Beaudry of Wiches Cauldron in Stittsville hold the Restaurant of the Year – Quick Serve award which Wiches Cauldron received at the West Ottawa Board of Trade’s People’s Choice Awards gala at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata on Thursday, Feb. 25.

KITCHENS

Craig Beaudry had been not that eager to be involved in the awards competition since the business was not even open in the recent winter months. But Monique urged her husband to become involved in the competition and, surprise, surprise, Wiches Cauldron topped the voting. By the way, Wiches Cauldron expects to be open again once the spring weather comes, sometime in April. Other finalists in the Restaurant of the Year – Quick Serve category were Cozmos Souvlaki, Joey’s Urban Kanata, Luna Crepes & Café and Mucho Burrito Kanata. In the Restaurant of the Year – Full Service category in these 2016 West Ottawa People’s Choice Awards, the Parlour Pizza Kitchen & Bar was the winner. Other finalists were Pocopasso Kanata, The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub in Stittsville, Heart & Soule Café, Milestones Kanata and The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro – Barrhaven. In the 2016 West Ottawa Business Excellence Awards, The Scottish & Irish Store received the Business of the Year – Small award. The U-Rock Music School of Stittsville was one of the finalists in this category. In the Business of the Year- Medium category which was won by Amsted Design-Build, finalists included the Canadian Golf & Country Club of Ashton and Decorating Den Interiors – The CPI Team of Stittsville. The Brookstreet Hotel received

the award for Business of the Year – Large. In the Young Entrepreneur of the Year category, Andrew Scott of Pita Pit was the award recipient. In the Business Leader of the Year category in which Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm received the award, Steve Barkhouse of Amsted Design-Build of Goulbourn was one of the finalists. The Community Support/NonProfit Organization of the Year category saw the Capital City Condors, a hockey program for those with developmental disabilities, receive the award. In the New Business of the Year category, Clariti Group, a two year old business that helps employers with career and leadership matters, received the award while the Customer Service Business of the Year award went to DS Plumbing. Saunders Farm of Munster was one of the finalists in this customer service category. Mark Saunders, recipient of the Business Leader of the Year award, has been Director of Fun at Saunders Farm for 25 years. Last fall, Saunders Farm welcomed its one millionith visitor to the farm. Each October, Saunders Farm welcomes over 50,000 visitors to its renowned Haunting Season and Fright Fest. A “Haunted Hayride” offered at the farm 25 years ago has grown to become the area’s largest independently run festival. Indeed, when Haunting Season started, it was more a case of just wanting to open up the farm and its haunted hayride to visitors. Over

the ensuing 25 years, slow incremental progress took place at the farm, with more and more features added annually. Indeed, these innovative ideas are still being added each year. The farm employs over 200 paid staff each Haunting Season. Between April and September, before Haunting Season begins, Saunders Farm welcomes guests to its Mazes Season as Saunders Farm has the world’s largest collection of hedge mazes and labyrinths. Saunders Farm also hosts weddings, birthday parties, farm camps, farm dinners, corporate events and team building sessions. A special event during Haunting Season is a “Scaring is Caring” event which raises funds and awareness for youth mental health. Over the years, over 5,000 youth have worked at Saunders Farm, usually as their first paid job. In 2010, Mark and his wife Angela purchased Saunders Farm from Mark’s parents, Bill and Anne Saunders, who began the farm as a strawberry growing operation. Indeed, Mark remembers picking strawberries in the fields when he was young. When he received the Business Excellence Award for Business Leader of the Year, he noted how Saunders Farm is going to continue to grow, particularly referencing the “big red barn” (the Bradley/Craig barn now standing along Hazeldean Road in Stittsville) which is going to be dismantled and moved to Saunders Farm where he promised that it would become a community space. Amsted Design-Build of Flewellyn Road in Goulbourn, which received the Business of the Year – Medium award, is considered one of the top companies in North America in the remodelling/custom building industry. It has received more awards than any other company from the local home building construction industry. See AMSTED, page 5

Steve Barkhouse of Amsted Design-Build holds the Business of the Year – Medium award which Amsted Design-Build received at the West Ottawa Board of Trade’s Business Excellence Awards gala at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata on Thursday, Feb. 25.

Now entering its 26th year in business, Amsted Design-Build has been honoured by the local home building industry as Renovator of the Year (2008, 2009 and 2010) and Green Renovation Project of the Year (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011). Amsted Design-Build was founded in 1989 when Steve Barkhouse, a recent graduate from university in business, was encouraged by his father Fred Barkhouse to start his own construction company as he had worked summers in carpentry and so had the skilled trades training required, along with his education in business. Amsted Design-Build is now a full service designbuild company providing customer homes and renovations. At the Business Excellence Awards and People’s Choice Awards gala, West Ottawa Board of Trade executive director Rosemary

Leu was honoured for her work with the Board of Trade over the past seven years. Under her leadership, the Board of Trade has grown from 300 members to 550 members. This was the last gala for Rosemary as she is moving to British Columbia. Former television personality Kurt Stoodley was the MC for the awards gala again this year. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson was a special guest at this year’s gala as was Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon. Members of the awards organizing committee for the West Ottawa Board of Trade included Greg Weatherdon as chair, Angela Houle, Lynn Johnston, Jill Martin, Janine Kivell, Rosemary Leu, Stephanie Haw, Joanne Ironside, Irene Lis, Kevin O’Connor, Sarah Ilnyckyj and Janice Weatherdon. Members of the selection committee which chose the finalists and the recipients in each of

the Business Excellence Awards categories were Rick Chase, Rick Gibbons and Jill Martin. This year’s awards hosted by the West Ottawa Board of Trade had a different format than previous years. All of the awards used to be determined via online voting except for a Citizen of the Year award which was selected by a committee. There also were 24 different awards, distributed via geographical location (Kanata, Goulbourn/Stittsville and West Carleton). This year, with the inclusion of Nepean in the area covered by the West Ottawa Board of Trade, the number of awards was reduced to ten and there was no geographical division. Eight of the awards were determined by a selection committee while the two Restaurant of the Year awards continued to be determined through online voting.

Leo Maiorino, left, of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa presents a sponsorship donation of $1,000 to Hair Donation Ottawa to Helene Hutchings, right, founder of Hair Donation Ottawa which raises funds for child and adult cancer research and empowers youth with hair loss by providing them with free wigs.

Leo Maiorino gives $1,000 to Hair Donation Ottawa John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Leo Maiorino of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa is now “golden” in the eyes of Hair Donation Ottawa. That’s because Leo, a Stittsville resident, has signed on to be a $1,000 Golden-level sponsor for Hair Donation Ottawa. He formally presented the $1,000 donation to Hair Donation Ottawa founder Helene Hutchings last Friday. For Leo, this donation has a very special meaning because his own father died from cancer at the age of 58 when Leo was just a youth. Funds raised by Hair Donation Ottawa go

to support child and adult cancer research. Since its founding in 2011 by cancer survivor Helene Hutchings, a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty in Stittsville, Hair Donation Ottawa has raised a quarter of a million dollars for cancer research. Last year’s major fundraising event raised $126,500. Hair Donation Ottawa’s major fundraising event sees supporters have their heads shaved or their long hair cut for the making of wigs for cancer patients. This year’s sixth annual Hair Donation Ottawa hair cutting/head shaving event will be held on Sunday, April 17 at Algonquin College. See HAIR DONATION OTTAWA, page 54

Seeing red over Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget

f you are a student soon heading off to university from a low-income family, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a winner after the Ontario budget was unveiled at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park on Feb. 25. For the rest of us, not so much. As a budget goodie, free tuition for students from families with a combined income of $50,000 or less came completely out of left field. But more sin taxes, higher natural gas rates, higher gas prices though a cap-and-trade system and the absolutely staggering amount of money that the province now pays out each year just to service the accumulated provincial debt is sadly predictable considering the way the governing provincial Liberals have been spending money in recent years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that some students will end up getting free university tuition, and thus be able to get degrees that will hopefully translate into decent paying jobs in the future because they are going to need that cash. Someone is going to have pay the now humongous $300 billion-plus debt load this province is carrying into the future. If there was the sound of fits of laughter emerging out of

Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park when Ontario Finance Minster Charles Sousa said the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest budget shows how fiscally-responsible this Grit government has been, it would have been perfectly understandable. What is also amusing, if not outright tragic, is that the government is claiming it will balance its annual books next year. That is something that will have to be seen to be believed from this government. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books are now so far in the red, that the $308.3 billion accumulated debt load that all residents of the province are now on the hook for is so large that trying to climb out of that fiscal ditch is akin to trying to scale a black hole without a rope. Running up annual deficits in and of itself is not always a bad thing when the economic times call for it, but the Wynne, and McGuinty Liberal government before it, have made irresponsible fiscal management an art form. They have proven themselves to be worldclass artists when it comes to running up the debt, and Ontario residents are going to be the ones paying for it long after this Liberal government fades into a long distant memory.

The illusion of bigger is better

t would be good if we in Ottawa didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cripple ourselves with indecision over such large matters as the development of LeBreton Flats and a new public library. Discussions have become rather heated already, even though we are still in the very early stages. And part of that may have to do with peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of the scale of things. For understandable reasons, we are thinking massive. The understandable reasons include the fact that LeBreton Flats has been sitting more or less vacant for more or less 50 years. It is natural, then, that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put some modest little thing on it. Whatever it is, we want it to have a significance worthy of the wait. We want something big. We

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town want something soaring. We want something world-class. We want something worthy of us. Where we got this inflated sense of self-worth is anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess, but it makes us picky. You can get an idea from the reception to the apartment buildings that went up on LeBreton Flats a few years ago. They were quite serviceable and probably nice to live in, but people sneered. We waited 50 years for that? It is clear in retrospect that we

wanted a combination of the Coliseum, the Eiffel Tower and Angkor Wat, with ample parking, a river view and retail on the ground floor. Some of the same emotion, colours our view of future developments, including the library. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make decisions difficult to arrive at. We will keep rejecting ideas that are good because they are not great. And that could go on for another 50 years, knowing this town. But what do we really want in a library, to use that as an example? A place where books are available, as well as the electronic equivalents and up-to-date research facilities. And beyond that, a place for people to hang out. The best modern libraries, such as Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, have that quality. They are gathering places, with coffee shops and such, where people can hang out with books. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the Eiffel Tower for that. It would be nice if what-

ever is put there impresses the tourists, but that should not be the first consideration. The first consideration is to make it useable, accessible and comfortable. And the same goes for much of what will go on LeBreton Flats, the housing, the shops, the restaurants. If you think of your favourite neighbourhoods in Canada, or in the world, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of overpowering structures. You think of walkable streets, interesting shops and restaurants and a nice vibe. The buildings could be quite ordinary, even modest. The neighbourhood is easy to get in and out of. It has good transit and some trees. If we think that way, if we set aside the need to be world-class and photogenic, it should be easier to make decisions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a man buying a suit. Once he gets over the idea that it

Dr. Lindsay Partridge cal school and residency. She graduated from family medicine residency in 2006 from the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital, joining the Nepean Family Health Group in Barrhaven which later became the Nepean Family Health Organization. She was with this group for seven years and also had a part-time family practice as well. She was also a part-time emergency room physician at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario for a number of years. Dr. Belanger is currently living in Pretoria, South Africa with her family. Her husband Brad works for the Canadian government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and was posted to South Africa in 2013. The family will be returning to Canada this coming summer when she will be beginning her practice at the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre.

Another doctor is joining the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre in Richmond. Dr. Lindsay Partridge, who will be beginning her family practice at the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre on Friday, April 1, is currently accepting new patients. She becomes the fifth new doctor to begin working in partnership with Drs. Rod and Lucy Rabb at the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre. Dr. Partridge, who is originally from Orillia, ON, attended Lakehead University in Thunder Bay where she earned her honours degree in kinesiology as well as her Masters in exercise physiology. She then moved to Ottawa where she completed her medical degree at the University of Ottawa in 2009, completing a residency in family medicine at the University of Western Ontario in London, ON in 2011. Dr. Partridge has spent the last four years working in rural and some northern communities, covering emergency room (ER) as well as being a hospitalist and doing office based medicine. She has also been involved in teaching, serving as an Adjunct Faculty member with the University of Western Ontario since 2011. Her husband’s career brought the couple back to Ottawa this past fall, leading to her decision to join the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre team. Dr. Partridge has a special interest in sports medicine, paediatrics and women’s health. She enjoys office based procedures and will

offer joint injections, biopsies and IUD insertions. Dr. Partridge is going to continue to cover community emergency room shifts and hopes to resume her involvement in medical education and teaching for doctors in training. Dr. Partridge joins four other doctors who have or who will be joining Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb at the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre in Richmond. Dr. Neera Aggarwal has already joined Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb at the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre. After practising in India for over 14 years, she moved to Canada in 2008 and completed her family medicine residency training at the University of Ottawa in 2011. Since then, she had been practising in Kemptville before just recently relocating her practice to the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre. Dr. Elaine Riddick is another of these new doctors in Richmond. After completing her medical degree at Liverpool University in England, she moved to Ottawa, studying obstetrics and gynecology and delivering numerous babies over years in her practice. After starting her own family, she switched to family practice. Dr. Alison Pittman is another of the new doctors coming to Richmond. This coming June, Dr. Pittman will complete her family medicine residency training at the University of Ottawa and then will be joining the team of doctors at the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre, beginning her career as a family physician.

Demand for paramedics City changing rental policy Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A 23 per cent increase in emergency response call volumes over the last five years is stretching resources thin, the community and protective services committee heard on Feb. 25. More importantly, for the life-threatening calls, response time dipped to 72.6 per cent from the city’s mandate of 75. Committee chair Diane Deans called the problem, “mission critical.” The paramedic service also has been in the news because surrounding municipalities have had to pick up the slack for Ottawa’s lack of resources. Attention to the city’s core has left the rural areas devoid of service. DiMonte said normally Ottawa paramedics would cover off the rural areas if their ambulance was out on a call in the city, but they can’t keep up with the demand. He said the dynamic, fluid nature of the paramedic service in Ontario – it doesn’t

matter the name on the side of the ambulance – they’re there to help a patient in need. The day before, Osgoode Coun. George Darouze and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli-El Chantiry tabled a motion at council to pay for 12 new paramedics and four new vehicles – the combined cost would be close to $1 million. But College Coun. Rick Chiarelli asked staff if the dozen new paramedics would be enough to bring the response times up to 75 per cent. DiMonte said he didn’t have the numbers yet, but suggested increases in call volumes over the first two months of the year would mean the dozen would only play catch to 2015 numbers. Chiarelli asked staff to compile a report to determine how many paramedics the city needs to meet today’s targets. Whatever happens, Darouze said he wants action now. “We can’t delay on the hiring of paramedics,” he said. “We are sucking the resources of our rural neighbours.”

The city of Ottawa is shaking up its facility rental policy – which includes arenas, soccer fields and baseball diamonds. The community and protective services committee heard a report on the allocation policy refresh during the meeting on Feb. 25. The current framework for allocating ice time or baseball diamonds from the city is to look at an organization’s historic use from the previous year. Under the new guidelines

the city would assign times based on the number of registered participants and the playing time standards established by their governing bodies. Groups that have been getting more than their share will lose time. Committee chair Diane Deans calls the policy refresh historical. She said she’s heard from residents that the existing guidelines can edge out, newer girl leagues, creating a tax on girls who want to play sports like hockey. Included in the plan though, will be stiffer penalties for returned ice time.

Noise

Fleury is calling foul over a decision by Ottawa police to cut corners by not attending calls for noise complaints. The change in policy is planned for April 1. After that, poJennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com lice will only respond to a noise complaint if there’s a Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu threat to public safety.

News Release

Dan Chenier, manager in the city’s parks and recreation department, said the changes won’t be significant, and that city staff could offer workshops on the new ice time application process. Under the new plan, ice time that’s returned once the season starts, will cost the organization returning it 25 per cent of the fee. Staff said 15 per cent of the book ice time gets returned. Chenier said the existing contract holders were consulted about the change, and asked committee for the delegated authority to raise fees up to 10 per cent. Anthony DiMonte, acting general manager of emergency and protective services, said the change will stretch bylaw services a little thin. Fleury said Ottawa would be the only Ontario municipality that only has a bylaw response to noise complaints.

The program promises to combine the science and engineering of catapult design, the application of some mathematical calculations and the use of the technology of catapults to create abstract art by simply taking aim with the catapult and firing – no

paint brush needed. Will the result be great art? It just could be! But this is just one of the programs being offered at the Stittsville library branch during the upcoming March Break. All of these programs require online registration with a library card. There is one registration permitted per library card. But remember – library cards can be obtained for free and everyone can get one. What are some of the other programs being offered? There’s “Colour Your World,” a one-hour program of stories, activities and crafts involving a rainbow of discoveries that is being offered on Tuesday, March 15 at 10:30 a.m. This program is for those aged 4 to 6 years old.

Lions Club hosts effective speaking competition John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The spoken word floated through the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Feb. 24. The words were delivered by eight speakers participating in the effective speaking contest for youth hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club. They participated in three categories: junior, covering grades four, five and six; intermediate, covering grades seven, eight and nine; and senior for those in grades 10, 11 and 12. Rohan Abraham and Kennedy Foster, both grade 10 students, participated in the senior category. Abhinav Jain, Connery Foster and Karolina Moo, all grade eight students, spoke in the intermediate category.

Participants in the junior category were Cambria Foster, a grade five student; Julia Terzi, a grade six student; and Evan Moo, a grade six student. Judges for this public speaking competition were city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri; Rosemary Brummell, who is president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville; and Rick Holloway, a member of the Toastmasters Club in Stittsville. Wayne Beaten of the Lions Club was the MC for the competition. The winners, as selected by the judges, were Evan Moo in the junior category; Karolina Moo in the intermediate category; and Rohan Abraham in the senior category. Each of these winners received a $100 prize and now has the opportunity to go to a regional competition. Runners-up in the three categories were

Julia Terzi in the junior category; Connery Foster in the intermediate category; and Kennedy Foster in the senior category. Each runner-up received a $50 prize. The competition saw a variety of topics covered by the speeches of the participants. Senior category winner Rohan Abraham talked about living life to the fullest, saying that life is too short to be anything but happy when living it. He urged people to enjoy their life by doing what they enjoy with people that they love. Senior category runner-up Kennedy Foster, in his speech, tried to calm fears that technology such as video grams was adversely impacting youth. He pointed out positive

effects from video grams such as benefits for memory, strategic thinking and fine motor skills. He said that just like the introduction of the television did not affect a child’s ability to think and just like the invention of the printing press resulted in huge benefits to society, so too video games can have a positive impact on today’s youth. Intermediate category winner Karolina Moo, in her speech, lamented that some people like Asians and African-Americans are at times judged on their appearance rather than on who they are. She queried where the line is between sensible judgement and racism or discrimination. See EIGHT PARTICIPANTS, page 13

But she is optimistic, saying that while people learn to hate in racism, they can also learn to love. “There is hope for a better world,” she said.

Intermediate category runnerup Connery Foster, in his speech, pointed out situations in which fiction is accepted as fact. He pointed out that it is generally believed that poinsettias are

highly poisonous but he noted that a person would have to eat over 500 leaves from a poinsettia plant before being poisoned by that poinsettia plant. See PUBLIC SPEAKING, page 14

in the junior category, questioned whether youth should be required to do household chores when they have better things to do by using technology such as playing video games and socializing with friends on social media. But in the end he did acknowledge that youth need to be responsible and should perhaps do what a mother asks regarding household chores. Junior category runner-up Julia Terzi told about her adoption as a baby in China and how she and her family continue to keep in touch with those who were adopted at the same time. This group calls themselves “China Sisters” and they all have a special bond with each other stemming from their adoption in China. It is a bond that will see them being part of each other’s lives as they all grow up, she said. Junior category speaker Cambria Foster talked about friendships and how good friendships can reduce stress and increase hap-

He also pointed out, for instance, that the ability of carrots to improve eyesight has been blown out of proportion. Intermediate category speaker Abhinav Jain spoke about technology in today’s world, saying that while technology has a great influence in today’s society, some are worried that technology is making people lazy. He said that this is not the technology itself but is the result of how people are using technology. He noted the impact on youth of playing video games rather than going outside and kicking around the soccer ball. Using calculators rather than figuring something out with our brains is another example of technology’s adverse impact on behaviour. He added, though, that technology has produced wonders in every aspect of life, citing the case of 3D printers which are now being used to make human organs. Evan Moo, in his winning speech

piness. She said that friendships can come from unlikely places, with friends not necessarily being people of the same age. She stressed the importance of a person keeping and having new friends. She said that friendships are one of the most important ingredients in life, adding that if a person treats friendships as important, they are sure to be happy in their lives. Rick Holloway of the Toastmasters Club of Stittsville, who was one of the judges for this effective speaking competition, admitted to being very impressed with the speeches given by the participants. He noted that for the most part, the speakers did not make extensive use of notes. He was happy to see youth step forward and participate in such a public speaking competition, commenting that the future is in good hands judging by the performance of these speakers.

Quinn Stewart to play at St. F.X. Special to the News

A long time Bell Warriors player has committed to play university football with the St. Francis Xavier X-Men of Antigonish, NS. Quinn Stewart of Richmond, who attend-

ed South Carleton High School, played for nine seasons with the Bell Warriors. For the past two years, he has played with the BelAir Norsemen, the midget-level (ages 17-19) team with which graduating bantam-level

Bell Warriors play. This past season, Quinn helped the Norsemen win the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA) midget championship. He was named to the NCAFA all-star team while also receiving the Norsemen’s MVP award and the NCAFA Midget Most Outstanding Offensive Player Award. Bel-Air Norsemen head coach Tony Violante of Stittsville notes that Quinn, a second year player with the team last season, was not just the team’s quarterback but also was both a leader and a role model on the team. “All season long, Quinn exercised his many exceptional qualities which will undoubtedly help him to exceed on and off the football field,” coach Violante wrote about Quinn in an email. He calls Quinn a “coachable, dependable and committed individual who always demonstrates true sportsmanship.” He notes as well that Quinn’s respect for the game, his teammates and his coaches are a true measure of his character. When he played with the Bells Warriors over nine seasons, Quinn won several Defensive and Offensive Player Awards as well as MVP honours at several levels. “As Quinn matured as a player, his abilities grew but his most outstanding quality is that of team leader,” says Bell Warriors vice-president Tim Sheahan who coached Quinn for several seasons. “His team mates followed his lead as he competed in practice every single night and his polished skills allowed him to succeed on the field on game days.”

Submitted

Quinn Stewart is off to St. Francis Xaviver University in Nova Scotia after a minor football career with the Bell Warriors and Bel-Air Norsemen.

Arm knitting workshop at Goulbourn Museum John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Arm knitting has become popular in the past few years and you can learn this latest knitting technique at an upcoming “Learn to Arm Knit” workshop at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. Arm knitting is a knitting technique which sees a knitter use his or her arms as the knitting tool rather than knitting needles. The workshop will take place on Friday, March 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Goulbourn Museum. This is the Friday of March Break week. The workshop is open to both adults and youth (aged 10 and over). The cost is $12 per person which includes one ball of yarn and light refreshments. One ball of yarn is enough to make a cowl which is a covering for the neck. Participants in the workshop also have the option to make a longer infinity scarf but this will require the purchase of a second ball of yarn for an additional $10 charge. The yarn being provided for this arm knitting workshop will feature a variety of colours and will be available on a first come, first served basis. Space at this workshop is limited to 12 participants, so early registration is recommended. Parents can drop their children off at the workshop but must fill out a “drop-off waiver” for each child who is participating in the workshop. To register for this arm knitting workshop,

call the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or email register@goulbournmuseum.ca . Payment can be made by credit card. Arm knitting typically uses yarn in a size of 6 or “extra bulky.” Knitters can decide the number of skeins that they want to use based on the desired thickness and length of the yarn. Scissors are the only other tool used other than the arms of the knitter. Items that are usually made in arm knitting include cowls, infinity scarves and blankets. And just how does arm knitting work? Well, first the knitter must cast on to the arm with a slipknot and a tail. The number of stitches that are cast on determine the width of the scarf, cowl or blanket that is being made. After the desired number of stitches, the knitting begins. The stitches are switched between both arms. This continues until the item being knitted is at its desired length. Stopping the knitting involves a process known as “binding off.” To bind off, the knitter will knit two stitches and then will move the stitch closes to the body over the stitch farther away from the body. This process continues until all the stitches are binded off. Once the item has been binded off, it can be connected if it is an infinity scarf that is being made. A cowl is one of the most common arm knitted items. A scarf can also be made and then the ends can be seamed together to make an infinity scarf.

As many of you may remember, photo radar was introduced in Ontario in August 1994. Eleven months later, it was gone following the election of Mike Harris as scrapping photo radar was a main campaign promise and the program was quite controversial. Fast forward 20 years and the conversation has resurfaced. While there were flirtations with bringing photo radar back in and around 2005, the conversation now seems to have a little more steam with several municipalities, including Toronto, having recently asked the Province to give them the power to utilize photo radar. In Ottawa, a Notice of Motion was tabled by Councillor Riley Brockington last week on the matter. It will come to Council on March 9th. The motion, if approved, would direct the Mayor to formally request that the Province allow municipalities the option of using photo radar on local streets. I’m not entirely certain how he defines “local” streets but I’m sure that will get addressed on the 9th. The experiment from 20 years ago is still fresh in many people’s minds. There is no question that photo radar does positively impact driver behavior and achieves greater compliance with speed limits. However, the specific issue in 1995 was that, over the eleven months, the program cost $4.5M to run and brought in $19M, thus the claims that it was merely a cash grab. In other jurisdictions, there has been an initial influx of fines but a tapering off eventually as more drivers become aware of the presence of photo radar. Where do you stand on this issue? Would you support a return of photo radar in Ottawa? Do the pros of increased compliance outweigh the cons of a perceived cash grab? I’m very interested in hearing your thoughts on this leading up to the March 9th vote at Council. As usual, please email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca, call my office at 613-580-2491 or send me a tweet @ScottMoffatt21. Howard A. Maguire Park In recognition of Howard A. Maguire’s demonstrated excellence, courage and exceptional service, Councillor Shad Qadri has put forward a request to name a future park at 560 Parade Drive, within the new residential development at 1921 Stittsville Main Street, “Howard A. Maguire Park”. Howard A. Maguire was a resident of Stittsville for over 60 years. During this time, he served the community as a firefighter for 33 years. In 1967, Howard was named the volunteer fire chief and in 1972, he became the first fulltime fire chief in Goulbourn Township. Mr. Maguire was the recipient of the Ontario Fire Services “Long Service Medal” in 1985 and he received the “Exemplary Service Medal” in recognition of his 30 years of service two years later. Mr. Maguire founded the Stittsville News as a monthly local paper, with the first edition being printed on December 12, 1957. This newspaper has since become a strongly established weekly community publication. Howard Maguire and his wife Molly were members of the Stittsville United Church where Howard served on the church’s board of trustees and taught Sunday School for 13 years. In their later years, Howard and Molly moved to a property on Flewellyn Road. Some of their land is now planned for development, which includes this proposed park. If you would like to submit comments regarding this proposal or obtain further information, please contact Diane Blais at namingottawa@ ottawa.ca. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

March 1st 2016 Potter’s Key Development Update Last week at Planning Committee, the Potter’s Key development was approved with the conditions outlined in the motion below. 1) That a condition be added to the Draft Plan Approval to provide a temporary construction access road to the subject property from Hazeldean Road that will eliminate the need for construction traffic to use the existing surrounding residential streets. 2) That a condition be added to the Draft Plan Approval to require this temporary construction access road be left in place at least until the end of 2019, and that it be brought to ‘Granular A’ prior to the first occupancy within the subdivision to facilitate the public’s use of this temporary road. 3) The Zoning By-law Amendment be changed to stipulate that only single detached units are to back onto existing single detached units in the Echowoods and Jackson Trails subdivisions. This has been a very challenging file with many discussions with all partners on this project. We have explored a number of options and have been able to come to a compromise that I feel is in the best interest of the community. There was a very valuable discussion at Planning Committee and the community was well represented by the residents who spoke to committee. I would like to thank the community for all their engagement on this issue through large attendance at the public meetings and by providing written comments and those who spoke today. I especially want to thank Omar Sultan, President of Jackson Trails Community Association and Chris Levesque representing Echowoods homeowners for continuing to be receptive to discussions on this file with me. The next steps will be for staff to provide grant approval to the Plan of Subdivision and the Zoning By-law Amendment will come to City Council for approval.

Nuisance Mosquito Control Program Health Report City Council passed a motion last week to proceed with its Nuisance Mosquito Control Program in Kanata North with a localized levy. One of the concerns brought forward during the discussion was in regards to the potential adverse effects the pesticide ‘bacillus thuringiensis israelensis’ (BTI) might have on the bee population. Planning Growth and Development biologist, Dr. Nick Stow has kindly provided this description: Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) is very specific to members of an insect group called Nemactocera, which is a group of flies. Within that group, it is only known to affect mosquitoes, blackflies and non-biting midges. Bees belong to a different group of insects called Hymenoptera. They are unaffected by Bti. Bt proteins are only activated under the alkaline conditions found in insect stomachs. Insect stomachs are very alkaline, with a pH near 10. Human and other animal stomachs are very acidic, with a pH around 2. There are many different “strains” of Bt, each of which produces slightly different proteins. These proteins differ in their effect on different types of insects. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk), for example, will kill corn borer, tomato hornworm, etc... but has no effect on bees. Bti is very effective against mosquitoes and blackflies, but less so against non-biting midges except at high concentrations. There is even a strain of Bt called Bacillus thuringiensis aizawi that is very commonly used by beekeepers to control wax moth in bee hives. The Bta is applied directly to the hives and has no effect on the bees.

Fireworks at ‘Shamrock’N 2016’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It’s becoming an annual tradition that’s a fun way of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. It’s “Shamrock’N 2016” this year as the Richmond District Lions Club and the Richmond Agricultural Society once again are joining forces to stage this Irishthemed event at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds, right beside the Richmond arena. It will be happening on Saturday, March 12, running from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and ending with a fireworks display high over the Richmond fairgrounds. But there’s lots to enjoy before the fireworks. World famous fiddler Robby Dagenais will be performing throughout the day and there’s nothing more Irish than fiddle music. Robby is a Canadian fiddle champion, so you know that this will be entertainment that you don’t want to miss. The world-famous “Bacon on a Bun,” prepared by

tron saint of Ireland. He has become the patriotic symbol of Ireland, along with the colour green and the shamrock. A fifth century Christian missionary in Ireland, St. Patrick is remembered on St. Patrick’s Day which is celebrated on March 17 which is supposedly the date of his death. St. Patrick’s Day is today celebrated both inside and outside Ireland and has become a day for the celebration of all things Irish. St. Patrick is closely associated with the shamrock as legend credits St. Patrick with teaching the Irish about the doctrine of the holy trinity by showing people the shamrock, a three-leafed plant, using it to illustrate the concept of three persons in one God. The shamrock has become a central symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick is also credited, according to legend, with banishing snakes from Ireland, chasing them into the sea after they had attacked him during a 40-day fast on top of a hill. Naturalists today question whether there ever were any snakes in Ireland but the legend persists.

Around Richmond

In short, there is no risk to bees from the use of Bti for mosquito control. Please note that Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has reviewed the human health evidence of this biological pest control substance and have found no adverse effects reported to Health Canada, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency or the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. Published papers in peer-reviewed journals also confirm this information.

the Richmond District Lions Club, will be available throughout the day. It may not be Irish in origin but there’s not an Irishman who does not enjoy good food and the “Bacon on the Bun” is the best tasting treat you’ll have in quite a while. This “Shamrock’N 2016” is an “all ages” event, so people of all ages from youngsters to grandparents and everyone in between are welcome to attend. Labatt products will be available for refreshment. Tickets will be $10 per person at the door. Children will be admitted free of charge. So, come join the leprechauns, the Irish and those who wish they were Irish at this St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Saturday, March 12. You’ll get a five day start on the real thing on Thursday, March 17 and lots of time to recuperate before that St. Patrick’s Day happens. For more information, please contact Dale Greene at 613838-3420 or via email at richmondfair@sympatico.ca.

Awesome co-op for hockey fan! John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Charlie Armstrong plays hockey, coaches a Novice A team and works at an outlet selling hockey equipment. So, he is a hockey fan, no doubt about it. And, given that, what would be just a super cooperative education placement for this grade 11 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville? How about a co-op placement with the Ottawa Senators Foundation working in its fan/community relations department? Awesome, you say! Well, this is just what happened as Charlie had a coop education placement there for the first semester of this school year. Among the Ottawa Senators players with whom he had contact were Erik Karlsson, Curtis Lazar and Mika Zibanejab. He also had a “quick hello with Daniel Alfredsson” and met former Ottawa Senators player Shean Donovan who now works with injured players. But his work at his co-op placement involved much more than just brief encounters with players. He got to participate in a myriad of activities and events, seeing first hand the behind-the-scenes work that happens as the Senators build the game of hockey and work to meet the requests of the team’s fans. Charlie got to work on making sure that everything was in place for player autograph sessions. He helped ensure that equipment wanted by players such as Laurie Boschman on the Sens Alumni team was supplied. He helped with tasks associated with the Bell Capital Cup tournament at Christmas time, an event with which the Ottawa Senators are closely associated. He helped get items such as a signed Erik Karlsson stick or jersey prepared for sponsors or organizations wanting them. He helped ensure that appropriate skates and other equipment were on hand for the annual skating event which Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk holds for less fortunate children. He helped prepare materials for responses to fan mail. And he did numerous other little tasks, anything that needed doing. “There’s always something to do there, always,” Charlie says. One of his more memorable moments was when he saw members of the Los Angeles Kings arrive at the Canadian Tire Centre for a game day skate. Among those he saw were Los Angeles Kings star Jeff Carter, one of his favourite hockey players, and also Tyler Toffoli, the former Ottawa 67 player. Charlie praises the Ottawa Senators Foundation and its fan/community relations department for providing him with the best experience possible in his co-op placement, giving him experience in multiple aspects of the department’s duties and work. Indeed, Charlie’s experience with the Ottawa Sens Foundation began even before school started as he was invited to help out with the Sens pre-season prospects game at the Kanata Recreation Centre. He got to provide players with their water bottles and perform other duties, all of which he calls a great experience, even if it was not part of the co-op placement. Charlie is currently a coach with a Novice A team (seven and eight year olds) which he really enjoys. Indeed, he stopped playing competitive hockey this year, switching to house league, so that he would have more time to devote to his coaching. He may take another co-op education course next year when he is in grade 12, depending on his discussions with this parents. He would readily return to the Sens Foundation but would want to be involved with a different department. Another possibility would be a co-op education placement with the Complete Hockey Development Centre on Iber Road in Stittsville which runs a well known goalie school.

“I like to try new things,” is how Charlie puts this desire to experience a different co-op education experience if he takes the course again next year. However, he highly recommends the Sens Foundation co-op work experience to any student who loves hockey. He says that to work there, a person has to love hockey and to love bringing the hockey experience to people. Charlie, whose dream job, he says, would be to be an equipment manager for an NHL team, says that he wants to keep playing hockey but adds that if he cannot keep playing, he will definitely be coaching. He used to play defense himself but for the past two seasons, he has played for-

ward and he finds that he likes the position better. Scoring some goals which he now does might have something to do with this. Charlie is also a rugby player, a sport that he has played since he was about nine or ten years old. He used to play soccer as well but now the focus is on rugby as he says that he likes slamming into people which happens a lot in rugby. He is enthusiastic about the upcoming season for the Sacred Heart senior boys rugby team as the team will have a lot of players this season from a junior championship season two years ago. Charlie also plays rugby in the community as well, playing for the Ottawa Indians team.

The Stittsville Royals lost this opening game of the playoff series 8-2. This was the first playoff game for the Royals back in Richmond since the team relocated to Stittsville in 1990. The Royals had played in Richmond from 1968 to 1990.

It was the first playoff game for the Stittsville Royals in Richmond since the team relocated to Stittsville from Richmond in 1990. To mark the occasion, there was a special ceremonial opening faceoff with the two team captains, Cam Goldsmith of the Westport Rideaus and Jake Oliver of the Royals, facing off with the puck being dropped by city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and his family. But despite this playoff return to Richmond and the ceremonial opening faceoff, it was not a good game for the Stittsville Royals, at least after the first period. Indeed, the Stittsville Royals opened the scoring in the game after just 20 seconds, with Aaron Hickie scoring, with assists going to Jordan Boutilier and Matt Allan. After Westport came back with two goals by team captain Cam Goldsmith midway through the period, Troy Hass scored on a power play for the Royals to even up the score 2-2. Shane Hiley and Matt Allan picked up assists on the goal. This is how the first period ended, 2-2 on the scoreboard. But little did the Royals know at that time that this would be it for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring in this game. In the second period, the Westport Ride-

aus scored the only goals of the period, both on power plays, to take a 4-2 lead into the third period. In the third period, the Westport Rideaus had scored four more goals before the 13 minute mark of the period, taking an 8-2 lead. This is how this opening game of the playoff series between these two Central Canada Hockey League Tier 1 teams ended. The Royals had 25 shots on the Westport net in this game while Westport had 44 shots on the Royals goal. The Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; netminding chores were split between Connor Ellis and Patrick Steski in this game. In this game, the Royals took 12 minutes in penalties on six infractions while the Westport Rideaus were assessed 14 minutes in penalties on seven infractions. This playoff series continued last Tuesday, March 1 in Westport with the third game of the series slated for this Friday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Richmond arena in Richmond. Then the series will switch back to the Westport arena for a 7 p.m. game this Saturday, March 5. The current Stittsville Royals began life as the Richmond Royals in 1968. In 1990, the team relocated to Stittsville, with its name changing to the Goulbourn Royals. In 2003, the team named was changed to the Stittsville Royals as it is today.

john.curry@metroland.com

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: I have a corporation the shares of which are held only by me and members of my immediate family. Do I really need to have annual minutes?

Help keep our carriers and drivers safe Please keep driveways, walkways and steps clear of ice and snow, so they can continue to deliver your newspaper on time. Thank You!

If your corporation is audited by the CRA and matters, such as the declaration of dividends, have not been formally documented by a written resolution of the directors or in annual minutes, the consequence can be severe. There are other risks that may be avoided by having minutes prepared annually. This is analogous to your dentist who encourages you to have good dental hygiene and periodic check-ups so that small problems do not become big problems. Practicing good corporate hygiene just makes good sense. The minimum legal obligation of a corporation is to hold an annual meeting of shareholders to consider the financial statements, elect directors and to appoint (or dispense with the appointment of) the auditor. In practice, and as permitted by statute, narrowly held corporations often dispense with an annual meeting in favor of a signed resolution of all of the shareholders.

written resolutions in lieu, can lead to legal action from disgruntled shareholders. The practice of holding annual meetings (or resolutions in lieu) also tends to ensure that corporate matters requiring attention are addressed, such as share transfers, changes to directors, and address changes, which if left unaddressed could become significant problems. An effective method of ensuring good “corporate hygiene” is for the corporation to instruct its accounting advisors to provide legal counsel with an annual letter of instructions to document applicable financial matters.

We strongly encourage that the minute books be updated before an issue arises, such as a CRA audit.

Jake McBride is aiming for PGA tour John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

playing soccer so that he can focus just on his golf. This season he is going to be sponsored by Maxfli, using their balls and bag. As for his golf clubs, his father, who makes golf clubs, has always made Jake’s clubs and this is not going to change. Jake plays every day in the summer, saying that it involves a lot of walking. He notes that his body is not only tanned but also sore by the end of the summer. He notes that some people think that golf is easy but he notes that there is a lot of technique involved in it, which in his mind makes it the world’s hardest sport. In addition, there is the mental aspect of the game, with a golfer having to stay focused and calm. Jake wants to play a number of courses this year including some in the United States and the famous Jack Nicklausdesigned Glen Abbey course in Oakville. Jake says that he is a long driver, outdriving his age competitors by up to 30 yards. He also feels that he is a pretty good iron player but admits that he needs to work on his short game and show some improvement there. He says that his putting is getting better each year. While he likes to hit his irons, he does carry two hybrids in his bag which he tends to use on long par four holes or on short par five holes. Jake dreams of being on the PGA tour as he says that he does not have the patience to be a teaching golf professional. His favourite PGA tour player is Brandt Snedeker who Jake admits may not be the best player out there but he says that Snedeker has all of the right fundamentals of the game of golf. He feels that if he can master these funda-

His dream is to get a golf scholarship in the United States and then go on to play on the PGA tour. This may seem like an ambitious goal for 13 year old Jake McBride, a grade seven student at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville but he was only one year old when he first had a golf club in his hand and he is now shooting in the low 80’s on tough courses (the high 70’s on easier courses), so the dream is on its way to becoming reality. While Jake’s father put a putter in his hand when Jake was only one year old, Jake’s golfing really did not start until he was three years old when he started to chip a golf ball around quite a bit. By the time that he was five and six years old, he had started playing on a golf course with his father. He started playing in tournaments when he was nine years old, something which he found fun because he got to meet a lot of new people. Now a member at the Kanata Golf and Country Club, Jake not only participates Submitted in tournaments in both Ontario and now Jake McBride follows throw on a swing as he practises Quebec, but he also attends a winter golf school. Last year he attended a two-day his golf game. regional team tournament in Trois-Rivieres, with his team finishing fifth out of eight regions. He also attended a two-day tournament in Drummondville where he placed fifth out of 30 players. Jake figures that he played about 60 rounds of golf last summer and forecasts that he will probably play more rounds this year. That’s because last summer he • Receive your own also played soccer but this year he is not pay cheque! es Priz at • Win Gre of A.Y.Jackson Secondary • Once a week School. delivery In semi-final playoff action Special to the News • Weekends Off The playoff run for the for the senior boys basketball South Carleton High School league (tier 1) on Monday, Feb.

ments of golf, then he has a chance to be as good as Snedeker. Brandt Snedeker, incidentally, won the 2012 Fed Ex Cup, one of golf’s biggest prizes. At one time, Jake did not like the ninth hole at the Kanata Golf and Country Club, as he admits that he lost a lot of balls in the water on the right side of the fairway. The hole is 574 yards in length from the back tees and carries the number one men’s handicap rating. But now he says that it is his favourite hole because he has discovered how to play it, namely by staying on the left side of the fairway, away from the water, reaching the green and putting. A right-handed golfer, he says that it is a matter of playing the hole smart rather than risking every shot. While the ninth hole at his home course, the Kanata Golf and Country Club, is now his favourite hole, he says that his home course is also his favourite course. He loves the staff there and says that he has a lot of friends there as well. He also likes that it is close by so that he can play two rounds there in a day if he wants. He says that golf is a great sport in which to have fun with your friends. He admits that he takes his golf seriously but says that for most golfers enjoying the fresh air and having fun with friends is paramount. Jake does not limit his sports to golf. He has been playing soccer and in the winter he skis, snowboards and plays hockey. But Jake also has his priorities in order as he is conscientious about his school work, admitting that his focus is on school before any sports.

At the recent presentation of a donation from the St. Philip’s Euchre Club to Myles Dear and his son Kyram to help Mr. Dear provide care for his severely disabled ten year old son are, from left, Ernie Beaudette of the St. Philip’s Euchre Club; Myles Dear who is holding the donation cheque; Kyram Dear in his wheelchair; Rita Dodd of St. Philip’s Euchre Club’ and Mary Beaudette of St. Philip’s Euchre Club.

St. Philip’s Euchre Club makes donation to help Kyram Dear Special to the News

The St. Philip’s Euchre Club has helped out Myles Dear and his son Kyram of Richmond. On Sunday, Feb. 21, three members of the St. Philip’s Euchre Club presented Myles Dear and Kyram with a donation from the Club. This donation will provide assistance to Mr. Dear as he provides care for his severely disabled son. The donation came from proceeds generated by the euchre parties which are held at St. Philip’s Hall in Richmond, hosted by the St. Philip’s Euchre Club. The next four-hand euchre party at St. Philip’s Hall will take place on Wednesday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. with everyone welcome to participate. The admission fee of $5 includes a light lunch and refreshments. Euchre parties are held at St. Philip’s Hall every second Wednesday. For more information about these euchre parties, please contact Rita at 613-489-3996. Annual funding of $65,000 is needed to ensure that Kyram Dear can continue to receive the level of care which he requires. This will allow the round-the-clock care that ten year old Kyram needs to survive. As well, virtually every cent that Myles Dear earns as a software engineer goes towards Kyram’s care. Until more government funding can be obtained, Myles is depending on donations from groups like the St. Philip’s Euchre Club

and crowd funding campaigns to help provide the shortfall of funds needed to provide proper care for Kyram. And while the situation remains a financial struggle, Kyram continues to slowly progress. Kyram wakes up every morning deciding to be happy and never complaining about the chronic pain that he suffers. Kyram has a bright mind, charisma and a winning attitude. He loves silly play, slapstick comedy and has a great sense of humour. Kyram is really enjoying school where he is showing progress. He has mastered kindergarten-level math, is reading for comprehension at a grade two level and can spell words at a grade four level. He is even starting to create his own original sentences letter-byletter, word-by-word. This is all happening despite the fact that Kyram, because of his cerebral palsy and associated disabilities, cannot walk, talk, sit or stand on his own. Just over two years ago, Kyram began communicating through eye blinks and tongue clicks. He now uses these movements to control a speech-generating device attached to his wheelchair. Kyram requires 24-hour daily care to ensure his survival. This means a trained nurse sitting at his bedside at night and a disability support worker being with him during the day.

Temporary road for Potter’s Key Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s planning committee approved a planned Stittsville subdivision on Hazeldean Road Feb. 23 – with some concessions on the part of the developer. Minto Homes agreed to build a temporary access road for construction vehicles from the Potter’s Key subdivision to Hazeldean Road. The move was an attempt to mollify residents concerns about cut through traffic heading to Carp Road, Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street. The developer also agreed to have only single homes backing onto existing homes in the neighbouring Jackson Trails and Echo Woods communities. “We are not against the development, but would like to see a better traffic plan,” Echo Woods resident Chris Levesque told the committee.

Several residents expressed concerns about the ability of the residential roads to handle the traffic from the planned 404-home development. They argued that the traffic study doesn’t reflect the nature of the area. “The reality of it is, people every day are coming in and out of their driveways,” said Omar Sultan, head of the Jackson Trails Community Association. “Just because it theoretically can handle it doesn’t mean it should.” Susan Murphy, a representative of Minto, agreed to a compromise where the company would build a construction access road from the development to Hazeldean Road – with a plan to upgrade it to a granular grade “A” surface before the first occupancies take place in 2019. Aside from traffic, some residents took issue with a plan to have townhomes backing onto existing single fam-

ily home lots. Dave McGahan, a sales representative with CLV realty group and a resident of Overland Drive, said Minto was trying to jam the proposal “down the throats of existing residents.” He said a change to the original plan that would see townhomes backing onto the lots of single family homes in Jackson Trails and Echo Woods, could spell a drop in property values by as much as $50,000 to $75,000. “Buyers want similar houses,” he said. The committee included in the approval that only single family homes would back onto those in existing communities. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who said he was originally leery of supporting the proposal at committee, voted in favour, citing the work the developer has done to deal with the community’s concerns.

New three-unit townhouse may be on WildpineCourt Special to the News

A new three-unit townhouse may be built on Wildpine Court in Stittsville. The townhouses would be built on a lot at 30 Wildpine Court, with the building site created thanks to recent excavation work that created a building area 80 feet wide and 30 feet deep, all outside the Poole Creek flood plain because of the re-arrangement of the earth on site, referred to as a “cut and fill” procedure. Initially it had been thought to build a single family home at the site but the presence of existing townhomes on the west side of Wildpine Court in this location caused a change in thinking, with the proposed three townhomes considered to fit in better with the surrounding neighbourhood of townhomes. The proposed plan for these new townhomes will have to receive approval from the city of Ottawa’s committee of adjustment before it can go ahead. In addition, there is also a concern about the sighting of an endangered blandings turtle within 1,000 metres of the site. It is not known if this will affect approval of this townhouse proposal or not.

Fundraising and donations for Kyram’s needs Continued from page 36

But all of this comes at a price and it is a price that is not covered by provincial government funding. Indeed, only a portion of Kyram’s needs are currently being funded by the provincial government. The rest must come from family resources and fundraising and donations. A total of $65,000 must be raised to allow for the continuation of his needed care for another year. Donations can be made online at www. youcaring.com/helpKyram . This crowd funding campaign will provide the stopgap funding until such time as Myles and other families in the province in similar situations can achieve long-term sustainable support funding from the provincial government. Kyram will always require a high level of care, although his father sees no limit to how

much progress Kyram can make, noting that Kyram is very capable mentally. Technology is also part of the solution, as Myles is finding new ways to use technology to help Kyram. He looks forward to the time when technology will give Kyram a voice, will allow him to join online communities and will even allow him to work. Kyram’s mother and Myles’ wife Simone passed away in 2011. Insurance money from her death helped support Kyram’s needs but that funding ran out. That led to the first crowd funding campaign last year. Kyram was born four months premature, spending eight months in hospital before going home in 2006. His mother Simone suffered a stroke one year later and was bedbound and dependent on others for her basic personal care from then until her death in

2011. During this time, Myles provided primary care to both Simone and Kyram as well as work full time. Debts piled up but insurance money from his wife’s passing allowed him to continue providing the needed support for Kyram. However, the insurance money was exhausted by 2014. Besides working, Myles organizes and attends medical appointments with Kyram, hires and trains a private team of caregivers for Kyram, interacts with his special needs teacher and in-school therapists, purchases and customizes medical equipment for Kyram, submits medical claims to the government under any applicable direct funding agreements and provides caregiving when primary staff are sick or unavailable.

Myles is extremely grateful and thankful for the generosity and compassion shown by friends, neighbours and others throughout the city and area to Kyram and his needs. He continues to believe that with appropriate help and support, the sky is the limit for Kyram and his development. He is determined to bring about change at the provincial government level so that families with disabled children can receive the same support and benefits as do low income families today. He says that parents should not have to choose between paying for basic living expenses and hiring quality caregivers to help their special needs children. Donations to help support Kyram Dear can be made on the crowd funding website at www.youcaring.com/helpKyram .

Three craft workshops at Goulbourn Museum in March Break Special to the News

What do recycled robots, magical marionettes and tiny terrariums have in common? They are all connected through the Goulbourn Museum and its March Break craft workshops. All three - recycled robots, magical marionettes and tiny

terrariums – will be the focus of a craft workshop for youngsters at the Museum during the upcoming March Break. The three workshops will be geared for children aged 6 to 11 years old. All three will run from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, with youngsters able to sign

up for all three workshops or for just one. The first of these craft workshops will be held on Tuesday, March 15 when the focus will be on making “recycled robots” from tin cans, metal gadgets and nuts and bolts. The second craft work-

shop will be held on Wednesday, March 16 when youngsters will create a “feathered friend” magical marionette. Thursday, March 17 will be when the third workshop is held, with the youngsters tasked with designing their very own “tiny terrariums.” Cost to attend these craft

workshops at the Goulbourn Museum during the March Break is $20 per workshop or $50 for all three workshops. Snacks are included in this cost. Parents will be required to fill out a drop-off waiver for any child who attends these craft workshops.

To register a child for one or more of these March Break craft workshops, please call 613-831-2393 or email register@goulbournmuseum.ca . The Goulbourn Museum is located on Huntley Road at Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forever Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; delivers program laden with familiar songs John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The musical group â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever Friendsâ&#x20AC;? showed why it is musical friends with its audiences at its performance at the February luncheon

of the Friendship Club on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at the Stittsville Legion Hall in Stittsville. The group delivered a program laden with songs that were familiar to those in the audience, mainly hit

songs from the past well remembered by its audience of seniors. Indeed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever Friendsâ&#x20AC;? has become a frequent performer at area retirement homes and other venues, presenting over 100 shows over the past four

years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever Friends,â&#x20AC;? which was reduced to three members for this performance due to travel and other commitments by the other three members of the group, started off at this Friendship Club luncheon performance with a perennial favourite, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing Grace.â&#x20AC;? This Christian hymn, dating back to 1779, has become one of the most recognizable songs in the world with its message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed thanks to the mercy of God. What a way to start!

But recognizable songs kept coming as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever Friendsâ&#x20AC;? members Geoff Lahaise, Sharon Lahaise and Jim Smyth delivered favourite after favourite. There was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walk on By,â&#x20AC;? the 1961 hit for country music singer Leroy Van Dyke which was the biggest hit of his career. This was followed up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make The World Go Away,â&#x20AC;? a song that has become a country crooner standard. Ray Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1963 recording was followed by a version by Eddy Arnold in 1965. Even Donnie and Marie Osmond had a hit with the song in 1975.

And just when you thought it could not get any better, along came â&#x20AC;&#x153;A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation)â&#x20AC;?, the 1957 rock and roll hit by singer Marty Robbins, one of the most popular country and western singers of all time. Other songs in the performance included the 1964 crossover hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;King of the Roadâ&#x20AC;? by country singer Roger Miller, a song that has been covered by many singers over the years, and also â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody Loves Somebody,â&#x20AC;? a song written in 1947. See SINGING, page 43

Original songs steal the show at Gaia Java John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Those at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday heard songs made famous by such singers as The Eagles, The Beatles, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel and more. But it was two songs written by guitarist/ singer Alan Sandeman, who was performing at the music evening with keyboardist/singer Gretchen Martin, which stole the show as they were cute, humourous and rhythmic, all traits which attracted the audience’s attention. One, named “Honestly Your Honour,” told the story of a man who found himself on a beautiful Sunday morning sitting in a county courthouse rather than fishing with his friends, proclaiming that he was “framed” and protesting that he did not know that his transgression involved “your honour’s daughter.” Alan, accompanied by Gretchen, followed this song up just a little later with a similar John Curry/Metroland story song, also with a rhythmic beat, called Guitarist/singer/songwriter Alan Sandeman, left, and keyboardist/singer Gretchen “Live and Learn”, that told about a fellow Martin, right, are all set to perform together as a duo for the first time ever at the music who was, to use Alan’s term, “a complete loser.” evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday.

Although performers Alan Sandeman and Gretchen Martin have been musically linked for about ten years, playing together in a band and collaborating on recordings, this was the first time that the two of them had performed together as a duo. But given their talent and experience and the repertoire of songs which they offered, this initial performance was a treat for all who were at the coffee shop. It was one hit song after another, with an original song by Alan spotted in here and there in the program. “Under the Boardwalk,” a 1964 hit pop song by the American doo-wop and rhythm and blues/soul vocal group The Drifters led off the program. Alan and Gretchen based their performance on a 1986 cover version of the song done by John Cougar Mellencamp, the American singer known for his populist brand of heartland rock. After “The Hard Stuff,” an original written by Alan Sandeman with him handling the vocals and Gretchen accompanying him on her keyboards, the duo launched into “Tequila Sunrise,” a 1973 hit for the American rock band The Eagles, one of the best selling bands of all time.

Familiar songs presented by duo at Gaia Java shop Continued from page 42

Indeed, “Tequila Sunrise” was co-written by The Eagles’ own Glenn Frey who just passed away on Jan. 18. Alan then gave a plug for American blues rock and electric blues singer Delbert McClinton while performing Delbert’s song “I Wanna Thank You Baby,” a rocking song that included a keyboard flourish by Gretchen. This was followed by The Beatles’ “Oh! Darling,” from the 1969 album Abbey Road and a little later by “Always on My Mind,” an iconic American country music song that was first recorded in 1972 but is best known from Willie Nelson’s Grammy Award winning version from 1982. The duo presented “Helpless,” a song written by Canadian singer Neil Young and originally recorded by him in 1969 which was then recorded and became a hit in 1970 for the folk rock super group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. However, Alan and Gretchen used a 2004 version of the song by Canadian pop and country singer K,.D. Lang as the basis for their presentation of the song. And on it went, with the second set after an intermission including such songs as “Forever Young,” written by Bob Dylan as a lullaby for his eldest song and included on a 1974 album (Alan and Gretchen referenced a version of the song by American singer Norah Jones, a nine time Grammy Award winner); “Just the Way You Are,” Billy Joel’s first top ten hit in the United States which

went on to win the 1979 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and also for Song of the Year; “Crossroads,” a blues song first recorded by American blues singer Robert Johnson in 1936 which became popular in the 1960’s thanks to a revival of the song by Cream, the British rock super group trio which included guitarist and singer Eric Clapton; “Rocket Girl,” a 2002 song by the Canadian country music group Doc Walker; “Fields of Gold,” a 1993 song by English singer/songwriter Sting; and “Drift Away,” a 1972 song recorded over the years by many bands and vocalists such as The Doobie Brothers, Michael Bolton, Waylon Jennings and Rod Stewart. Both Gretchen Martin and Alan Sandeman have performed previously at the Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java shop. Indeed, Gretchen Martin is one of the performers whom customers are always asking about, wondering when she will be making a return appearance at the coffee shop. Gretchen grew up in Winnipeg and has lived in Hawaii. When not making music, she is busy with her role in the Canadian military. Alan Sandeman has a background in high tech but has played in a wide range of musical situations. These music evenings every Friday at 7 p.m. at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville are free to attend. Donations are accepted to help the performers with their expenses. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop is

Singing at Friendship Club luncheon Continued from page 41

But it did not become a huge hit until sung in 1964 by Dean Martin. Indeed, the song became his signature song and was used as his theme song for his weekly television show which ran from 1965 to 1974. Geoff Lahaise of “Forever Friends” told those at this Friendship Club luncheon that his mother Grace Lahaise, who died in 2006, had been a member of the Friendship

Club. He credited his parents for developing his love of music, as the family always had a radio on the counter playing country music with the family sitting around listening to the music. James Robertson, Isabelle Robertson and Chuck Colford were the three members of “Forever Friends” who were missing from this performance at the Friendship Club luncheon.

Two Directors leave Food Bank Board Continued from page 44

Directors Barbara Cordukes and Lynn Rooke both have left the Board of Directors. Barbara Cordukes has stepped down after serving on the Board for over ten years. As a Director-at-Large, she recently looked after sending out “thank you notes” to those who have contributed food, money or services to the Food Bank. Lynn Rooke, who has been serving as Director of Food Donations, decided to step down from the Board for personal reasons. At the annual general meeting, both Barbara Cordukes and Lynn Rooke were presented with gifts of appreciation for their service on the Food Bank’s Board of Directors. Also at the annual general meeting, two new Directors were elected to replace the two departing Directors. Bill Graham, who has been a volunteer with the Food Bank, was elected as Director of Food Donations, replacing Lynn Rooke. The Director of Food Donations looks after the seven drop-off bins for the Food Bank that are located throughout the community. Also elected as a Director-at-Large to replace Barbara Cordukes on the Food Bank

Board of Directors was Janice LeBlanc. Others on the Stittsville Food Bank’s Board of Directors are Theresa Qadri, chair; Ayah Stretch, vice-chair; Robin Derrick, past chair; Wayne Beaten, treasurer; Cindy Beauchamp, secretary; Ferzana Qadri, Director of Client Services; Jamie McLaughlin, Director of Food Drives; and Paula Farrell and Laurie Scheer, both Directors-at-Large. In her report at the annual general meeting, Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri noted that over 70 volunteers are involved with the Stittsville Food Bank, with tasks ranging from being part of a team serving clients weekly to emptying the donation bins around the community. “The volunteers are the backbone of the Stittsville Food Bank,” chair Qadri said, noting that these volunteers range in age from as young as eight years old to those over 65 years of age. The Stittsville Food Bank is a totally volunteer run organization. John Curry/Metroland Chair Qadri also praised the community Theresa Qadri, left, chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, presents a gift of appreciation to of Stittsville for its caring and generosity, Barbara Cordukes, right, in thanking her for her service on the Board of Directors of the noting that all of the donations for the Food Stittsville Food Bank.

Even making the bread pudding did not change my dislike for it

As sure as rain and taxes, bread pudding would appear on our supper table at least once a week. If there was no money for fresh lemons, the raison jar was empty, and the brown sugar had to be saved for other purposes, and there was nothing else for dessert, I could count on bread pudding coming out of the oven. I hated bread pudding almost as much as I hated pickled herring, blood pudding or a freshly caught rabbit, of course, not for the same reasons. Father loved bread pudding. It was no hardship for him to be dished up a heaping fruit nappy to top off his evening meal. And my dislike was beyond reason. I loved fresh bread, mother’s preserves, and the sauce that cooked in the pudding. But I like them all separately... not all mashed up together. I could smell it as soon as I walked in the door from the Northcote School. “Bread pudding?” I would ask Mother. She would just nod, knowing full well how I felt about it. Father didn’t consider any meal proper unless it was topped off with dessert. And so when the money in the blue sugar

bowl was just about empty, and Mother had to come up with an end to the meal, and the cupboard was bare of everything that wasn’t considered a necessity, such as flour, sugar and tea, Mother had to use every ounce of her imagination, and that’s when she turned to bread pudding. There was always lots of bread. Mother baked at least three times a week. And the flour was stored in two places ... our backto-wall cupboard had a flour bin in one side, where Mother could turn a little handle and the flour would fall down into a bowl as she needed it. And then there was the bag of flour, which was kept behind Mother and Father’s bedroom door. There really was no other place for it. Out of sight, it was there. My very wise sister Audrey, much older than I was, thought if I saw how bread pudding was made, I could develop a liking for it. And so one Saturday, when the cupboard was bare of frills, such as lemons and raisons and no pie would be in the offing, Audrey said she and I would be making the bread pudding for supper. Always thrilled to be doing anything with

my beloved sister, I heartily agreed, but not thinking for one minute it would change my taste for the dessert. I was put in charge of breaking up a half loaf of bread into chunks. Audrey even let me stir the eggs and cream on top of the stove, and add the sugar and vanilla, and I watched as before my eyes, it all thickened into a golden sauce. My sister was very wise indeed. She took a little fruit nappy and ladled out a bit for me and told me to taste it. I wiped the dish clean! Then she let me put the bread pieces in the square pan, but she wisely poured the sauce on top. My skinny arms would never manage the heavy pot. She took the jar of raspberry jam out of the icebox, and told me to put dabs of it all over the top of the pudding, which I did. Then she filled the roast pan half full with hot water from the reservoir and placed the pudding pan onto the water, and tucked the whole thing into the oven of the Findlay Oval. “Now, I’m sure you will love it just as much as the rest of us do, now that you have helped make it,” Audrey said. I watched my sister, every so often, take

a knife and jab it into the pudding in the oven. “Not yet,” she’d say. She said when the knife came out clean, that’s when you would know the pudding was done. It all made perfect sense to me. Well, supper was finally on the table, and I eyed the bread pudding sitting on the bake table like it was my worst enemy. I was sure helping make it wouldn’t change my mind one bit. The dinner plates, empty bowls and pickle dish were taken off the table, and the pudding brought over and set before Mother. She wisely put only a couple spoonfuls in my nappy. Well, I could only get the first taste down ... my dislike hadn’t changed a bit. Soggy bread, covered with sauce, with a bit of jam wasn’t my idea of a good dessert! I pushed the nappy out of my way, took a plain slice of bread and lathered on jam, and ate it with gusto! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Irish soda bread with apples St. Patrick’s dinner at St. Clare’s Church Hall and currants is hassle free John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

This easy-to-make bread is an adaptation of the much-loved Irish soda bread. This version has soft apple chunks and currants and is similar to a giant scone. Slice bread or cut into wedges and spread with butter. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Baking Time: 45 minutes Serves: 6 to 8 Ingredients 1-2/3 cup (400 mL) buttermilk 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter, melted 2 apples, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups/375 mL) 3/4 cup (175 mL) dried currants 2-3/4 cups (675 mL) all-purpose flour 1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking powder 1 tsp (5 mL) salt 3/4 tsp (4 mL) baking soda 1 Ontario Egg, lightly beaten 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar Preparation instructions

Stir in buttermilk mixture to make soft dough. Gather up and place dough on floured surface. With floured hands, knead about 8 times and shape into a round loaf (dough will be sticky). Transfer to greased 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan. Brush top of dough with beaten egg. Sprinkle with 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool on wire rack about 10 minutes before removing from pan.

It’s an annual tradition that continues to be popular as the years go by – the St. Patrick’s dinner at St. Clare’s Church Hall at Dwyer Hill. This year’s St. Patrick’s dinner is taking place on Sunday, March 20 from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend. You will get to enjoy a hot turkey and ham dinner with all of the trimmings. But that’s not all! There will also be homemade pies as well as other desserts. The cost remains the same this year as last

year, namely $15 each for adults, $8 for children aged 6-12 years old and free for children aged five and under. And at this St. Patrick’s dinner, you will also be able to purchase tickets on a quilt raffle. This St. Patrick’s dinner always draws folks from far and wide, as it is a time not only of delicious food but also of renewing old friendships and meeting friends both old and new. The dinner is held close to St. Patrick’s Day which happens on March 17th and is a feast day honouring St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who died in AD 461. St. Patrick is believed

to have been born in Roman Britain in the fourth century and was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland. After six years there, he escaped to return home, becoming a priest. He returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. He converted thousands with tradition holding that he used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. The shamrock is now associated with St. Patrick’s Day, as is the “wearing of the green.” The colour green has been associated with Ire-

land since at least the 1640’s when the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the colour green and its association with St. Patrick’s Day grew. St. Clare’s Church Hall is located beside St. Clare’s Catholic Church on Dwyer Hill Road south of Franktown Road in Goulbourn. Take Franktown Road west from Richmond, passing the Munster Sideroad until arriving at the flashing light/four-way stop at Franktown Road and Dwyer Hill Road. Then take Dwyer Hill Road south to St. Clare’s.

Darts in the air in tournament at Legion Hall fired a trio of darts, one at a time, towards the dartboard. And along with the continual flight of the darts, there was also an ongoing chatter in the hall, as players celebrated success, bemoaned errant shots and bantered with teammates and others. One of the teams playing in the tournament was the trio of Dave Sutton, Glyn Moore and Jenna Jinkinson. Dave and Glyn are both long time darts players while Jenna is gaining more knowledge and experience as she continues to play with her teammates. Indeed, someday Jenna may be a national women’s champion in darts. At least that is what is jokingly suggested. The trio play regularly at Dan-

Darts were flying at the Stittsville Legion Hall last Saturday. It was the occasion of a Mixed Trips Dart Tournament held at the hall, with three-member teams having paid $30 per team to participate and compete in this tournament. And so darts were tossed through the air at the dartboards set up along the two side walls of the hall. There were ten dartboards set up, with action continuous as teams competed against each other at the different dartboard stations. Mats indicated the shooting location as each player aimed and then

from 1 to 20 points, depending on the particular section. Each section is subdivided into single, double and triple scoring areas. The highest score possible in darts is 180 which happens when all three darts thrown by a player land in the triple 20 section. The dartboard may have had its origins in the cross-section of a tree. There is speculation that the game of darts originated among soldiers throwing shortened arrows at the bottom of a tree trunk. As the wood of the tree dried, cracks would develop which created “sections” that had different scoring values. Today’s standard numbering plan with a 20 on top was created

by’s Bar and Grill in Munster. Darts is popular at various pubs like Danby’s as well as at Legion halls in the area. Both the Stittsville and Richmond Legion branches have regular darts leagues. Darts is a game in which missles i.e. darts are thrown at a circular dartboard that is fixed to a wall. Where the dart lands on the dartboard determines what score is earned. Dartboards are made of fibres or cork so that the dart can penetrate the board and stick in position while causing no damage to the board. A dartboard is divided into 20 radial sections with each section separated with metal wire. Each section is numbered, with scoring

in 1896 by a Lancashire carpenter. However, many scoring configurations have been used over the years, depending on geographical location and other factors. As for the darts, the first darts that were made were created from a single piece of wood, wrapped with a strip of lead for weight and fitted with flights made from turkey feathers. Although metal barrels were patented in 1906, wood continued to be used into the 1950’s. Darts today have four parts: the steel points, the barrels, the shafts and the fletching. The barrels come in a variety of weights and come in three basic shapes: cylindrical, torpedo or ton. See DARTS TOURNAMENT, page 54

tant because all of the expenses incurred for the fundraising event at Algonquin College are paid by such sponsorship donations. This in turn means that all of the funds raised by the event itself from fundraising pledges by the participants goes directly to cancer research. Helene also pointed out that no one involved with Hair Donation Ottawa is paid. Expenditures in hosting the fundraising event include the provision

Cylindrical barrels are the same diameter along their entire length, tending to be long and thin. Torpedo shaped barrels are widest at the point end and taper towards the rear. Ton shaped barrels are thin at either end but bulge in the middle.

Longer shafts in darts provide greater stability but they also shift the weight towards the rear, causing the dart to tilt backwards during flight. This is offset by a harder, faster throw. The choice of barrel, shaft and flight depends a lot on an individual player’s throwing style.

of towels and similar costs. None of them is particularly huge but taken together, expenses for last year’s event were in the $2,400 range. Helene pointed out that Hair Donation Ottawa tries to provide good value to its corporate sponsors, placing ads for them on social media platforms and posters and providing them with the opportunity to be at the fundraising event which attracts over 1,000 people – the 280 or so who donate their hair or have their head shaved as well as numerous family and friends who attend the event to support their family member or friend. Hair Donation Ottawa not only hosts this major annual fundraising event to support cancer research but also is going to start providing head scarves to CHEO patients, not only those battling cancer but also all those who for any reason suffer hair loss such as due to a burn situation. It is expected that up to 300 of these head scarves will be distributed each year.

Leo Maiorino also may be a volunteer as this event in addition to his $1,000 sponsorship donation. Last year over 1,000 people attended the event, either as participants or as friends and family supporting a family member or friend who was donating their hair or having their head shaved at the event. For Hair Donation Ottawa, having sponsors like Leo Maiorino is so very important because these sponsorship donations allow Hair Donation Ottawa to direct all of the funds raised in its fundraising to cancer research. The expenses involved are covered by the sponsorship donations. That’s why Helene Hutchings

is so appreciative of any corporate sponsor, be it a major one like Leo Maiorino or a sponsor at a lower level such as $250. It all helps and Hair Donation Ottawa publicizes its sponsors on social media, on posters and in other ways to try to give them as much recognition as possible for their support. Hair Donation Ottawa not only hosts its major annual fundraising event to support cancer research but also is going to start providing head scarves to CHEO patients, not only those battling cancer but also all those who for any reason are suffering from hair loss such as due to a burn situation. It is expected that up to 300 of these head scarves will be distributed each year.
