STITTSVILLE
David Stoltz chosen for U18 National Rugby Fifteens Team Ontario Rugby Union Sevens rugby team that competed in the Ontario Summer Games last August, as well as a member of the Ontario Blues Provincial Rugby Fifteens Team that played in the Canadian National Championships last year. In addition, he played for the Eastern Ontario Rugby Union Fifteens rugby team that won the bronze medals at the Eastern Canadian Rugby Championships last July. His goal in rugby is to be selected for the U19 and U20 national teams in the coming years and then to go on to play for the national senior men’s team, taking part in World Cup competition. After graduation from Sacred Heart this June, David, who will be 18 this September, will be going to New Zealand for a number of months to train and play with a local rugby team there, benefitting from that country’s renowned standard of play in rugby. He hopes to return to Canada as a better player and eventually become a firefighter while continuing to play rugby at the highest level.
BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
He has been athlete of the year at Sacred Heart Catholic High School for three straight years. He has gone to the Ontario Federation of Secondary School Athletics provincial championships in both wrestling and hockey. His Stittsville Rams competitive rep hockey team has won the league championship. And he has competed for Sacred Heart in track and field. Yes, as this record shows, David Stoltz is an elite athlete. But it is on the rugby field where David has really excelled. He has been selected to play for the Under 18 Canadian National Rugby Fifteens Team after attending the Canada East U18 men’s selection camp in Kingston last October and then the national U18 men’s selection camp in British Columbia this past February. As one of the 26 members of the U18 Canadian National Rugby Fifteens Team, he will be travelling to France this April to play in the 2017 Rugby Europe U18 Open Championships, a tournament involving teams from France, Georgia, Japan, the United States, Portugal, Belgium and Spain as well as Canada. This will be David’s first exposure to rugby on the international stage. This is quite an achievement for someone who just started to play rugby when he was in grade nine, knowing only the very basics of the game. But he credits his coaches, both at Sacred Heart and with the Ottawa Indians, his summer rugby team, with mentoring him in the sport, providing him with a strong foundation in the sport and in pushing him to achieve in the sport. He was chosen to attend the Eastern Canadian Rugby Fifteens Development Camp in October 2015 and again in 2016. He was a gold medallist with the Eastern Ontario Rugby Union Fifteens at the Eastern Canada Rugby Championships in 2015 and a bronze medallist
David says that he likes the physical aspect of rugby as well as “the constant motion of the game”. This makes the game very physically demanding with a continuous flow to the action. He also likes the culture that surrounds the game of rugby in which players are respectful of each other, their opponents and the referees. No matter what the outcome of a match, the tradition in rugby is that both teams get together after the game and enjoy social time together. They may play like enemies on the field but they are brothers off the field. David is also a wrestler of note, competing in the provincial high school championships both last year and again this year. He won the gold medal in his 89 kilogram class at the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association city-wide championship this year. David has also competed in city-wide high school track and field championships, participating in discus, shot put and javelin events. See OVER 80 HOURS, page 7
David Stoltz with the same team at the same championships in 2016. David was chosen as an Eastern Canada Rugby Championships Man of the Match in both 2015 and 2016 at the Eastern Canada Rugby Championships, and he was named one of the all star players at the 2015 championships. 2015 was also a good year for David in that he was a member of the Sacred Heart High School Junior Rugby Sevens team that won silver medals in league play that year. He has now gone on to be selected for Team Ontario this year and to be a member of the U18 Canadian National Rugby Fifteens team. David was also a member of the Eastern

Richmond residents mad about the maintenance of their village’s roads Coun. says no need to ‘cast shame’ in roads dispute BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Richmond resident Hank Helleman doesn’t mince his words when it comes to the state of the roads in the village of Richmond. He thinks the the city councillor from his ward, Rideau-Goulbourn, and the city as a whole “should be ashamed.” In a strongly worded letter to Coun. Scott Moffatt that echoes plenty of other comments that can be found online on a Richmond village related Facebook page, Helleman says the state of roads in the village are a “disgrace.” “We will be celebrating 200 years of
Richmond in 2018 and I feel that the city wants the roads to look like they did back in 1818,” Helleman wrote to Moffatt, before adding “you and the city should be ashamed.” “The roads here are pitiful,” Helleman told the Stittsville News in an interview. “The streets and roads around here have not been maintanined for years,” he said. Complaints about the roads in the village are a hot topic online. Screen grabs from Facebook show that there are many residents of the village that are less than impressed by the state of their roads and are not shy to say so. See CITY, page 5
Brian Dryden/Metroland
Richmond’s Martin St. resident Hank Helleman is just one of many residents of the village that feel that the roads in their community are not getting the care that they need from the City of Ottawa.

Drug testing can save lives
N
ever have we known such gargantuan problems due to something so small. Fentanyl is a strong opioid – 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Minuscule doses of the drug can kill. On Feb. 27, the city’s deputy police chief told a Kanata audience that enforcement will not keep the scourge of fentanyl from our streets. When thousands of doses of a drug can be imported in a single envelope, complete eradication is beyond any agency. But all is not lost, and we don’t have to throw our hands up in the air and simply hope no one else dies from an overdose of opioids. We do have some tools available to reduce the harm. Education is job one. The people most at risk need to know that any drug that they buy from illicit sources may contain opioids like fentanyl. One dose can kill. A few doses can create an addiction, even if the user has no idea there is fentanyl mixed into their counterfeit pills or powders. That message should reach everyone in the city, starting with children. The school boards are clearly redoubling their efforts to make sure students know the risks. Secondly, naloxone – the medication that can reverse an opioid overdose – should be made as
widely available as possible. The city plans to have doses in every fire and police vehicle. The province has made naloxone freely available. If someone still chooses to consume a drug – and that would be a bad decision – we can make the outcome less risky if allow them to test their drugs for fentanyl. Test kits exist. If one of our levels of government makes them available to would-be drug users, those people can find out if there is fentanyl in a drug they have purchased. A user who sees a positive result for fentanyl can avoid potential death or addiction. And at the same time, they learn that the person who sold them that pill or powder cannot be trusted. Drug testing like this has been offered at some concert festivals in the past, and it is controversial. Some will say testing condones or encourages drug use. But which is better: 1,000 people use drugs at a festival and one dies, or 1,000-plus people use drugs at a festival and no one dies? That’s the crux of harm reduction. It’s why we provide free needles to IV drug addicts. It’s what the Insite safe-injection site in Vancouver does. It simply saves lives. Drug-testing kits have potential. They should be part of the discussion.

*It’s getting closer to when Goulbourn Skating Club skaters Katie Xu and Jack Fan will be travelling to Austria to compete as members of Team Canada in the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games, which run from March 14 to March 25. Katie and Jack are among the 108 Canadian Special Olympics athletes participating in these World Winter Games. The Canadian team is the third largest team at these Games, competing in six of the sports — alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, floor hockey, snowshoeing, speed skating, and figure skating. These Special Olympics World Winter Games are one of the world’s largest sporting events with 3,000 Special Olympics athletes participating from about 110 countries. Canada’s Special Olympic athletes are assembling in Toronto early next week before flying to Austria….. *It looks like the Ottawa West Arts Association (OWAA) which holds regular art exhibitions at the OWAA gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road will be featuring Canadian themes for its exhibitions in July/August, September/October and November/December as a way of celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary.

Now that the government is less popular than ever before, and an election is a year away, we’re seeing more and more incompetent scrambling on the hydro file. The government has proposed a 17% reduction in hydro bills. This will result in some small savings in the short term. But the long-term cost will be an extra $14 billion – paid for by our taxes for decades to come. This is outrageous, and it won’t solve the problem. The Green Energy Act is the problem. We need to abolish the Green Energy Act. We need to use more of our cheap and clean hydro power. We need to stop signing more and more expensive contracts for wind and solar energy that we don’t need. The next election can’t come soon enough!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that a coffee shop associated with a Canadian musician would be a place to hear Canadian musicians do their thing. But Quitters in Stittsville is fast becoming just that, a small and cozy stage for Canadian performers to en-
liven the music scene in Stittsville. The latest up-and-coming performer to play the cafe associated with local musician Kathleen Edwards is Toronto-based singer/songwriter Megan Bonnell, who is touring in support of her latest critically-acclaimed CD Magnolia. While Quitters continues to bring in the acts, those hoping to see Bonnell perform may be out of luck, as the show is now sold out.

Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre is urging people to go online to weigh in on the federal Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon tax plans, which the Conservative MP says will drive up prices and take a bite out of an average familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective wallet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going away,â&#x20AC;? Poilievre said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians deserve to know what the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; carbon tax will cost them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They deserve to know how much this will add to their heat, hydro, and grocery bills. At first the Liberals implied they had no such information. Then when I discovered that the data did in fact exist, the government admitted they do have the data, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to reveal what it says.â&#x20AC;?
Poilievre calls that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;coverupâ&#x20AC;? and wants the federal government to reveal how a carbon tax will financially inpact Canadians. Poilievre said when he asked the government how the carbon tax would affect low-income families, the government said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, documents later revealed through the access to information system show that the government does know, but it is covering it up,â&#x20AC;? a statement from Poilievreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office states. Poilievre is promoting petition e-910, which was initaiated by a Greely resident. The online petition demands that the Liberal government cancel the carbon tax â&#x20AC;&#x153;and end the carbon tax cover-up.â&#x20AC;? Canadians can sign the petition to add their voices to a growing number of people de-
manding an end to the coverup, the MP said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the government to end the carbon tax cover-up and show Canadians, businesses, and families what the carbon tax will cost them,â&#x20AC;? said Poilievre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage everyone to sign the petition and contact their Member of Parliament to demand that the government end the carbon tax cover-up.â&#x20AC;? Canadians can sign the petition at https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/ Details?Petition=e-910 until June 28. As of the morning of March 7, 1,357 people had signed the petition, with the most signatures coming from the provinces of Ontario and Alberta. There were also two signatures attributed to people from â&#x20AC;&#x153;other countriesâ&#x20AC;?.

Digital version of ‘Caretaker of Dreams’ Continued from page 1
It was presented not as a history lesson but as recognition of the achievements of Goulbourn’s pioneers. The Goulbourn Township Historical Society sponsored the project, with the play produced by the Goulbourn Millennium Project Committee chaired by Jean Shaw. It was a community effort with over 100 actors, musicians and dancers from the township taking part. Christine Delorme-Lamarche was the dance director while
Ron Martin handled the sets and Paul Gardner looked after the lighting. Barbara Bottriell handled the musical direction and Lynn Griffiths was in charge of costumes. Hilary Dick handled the production coordination. Now, you can see “Caretaker of Dreams” either again or for the first time at this showing of a digital version of the video taken of the play back in 2000. It promises to be a great way to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday by enjoying this telling of the story of Goulbourn, a small part of the nation of Canada.

a damp sponge. Shaving cream also works great on grease and oil stains; simply work the cream into the stain, let dry, and rub off with a damp soft cloth. • Ink stains, mix milk with cornstarch to make a paste. Apply the paste to the ink stain. Allow the homemade concoction to dry on the carpet for a few hours, then brush off the dried residue and vacuum it up. Cornstarch is also great for soaking up grease and oil stains. Sprinkle the spots liberally, let sit for several hours, and vacuum up. • Greasy food stains, mix up 1 part salt to 4 parts rubbing alcohol and rub it hard on the grease stain, being careful to rub in the direction of the rug’s natural nap. • Can’t tell what the stain is? Mix a teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a dab of non-gel toothpaste. Rub the paste on the stain with a soft cloth. Rinse.
• Ink - spray WD-40 onto stain, wait a couple of minutes, then clean with carpet cleaner or warm soapy water. • Red Wine - pour white wine onto stain to dilute the colour, then blot clean with a clean cloth and water. After, pour salt onto the stain and let sit for approximately. 10 mins. then vacuum.
• Coffee/Tea - Beer believe it or not works on coffee/tea stains. Pour beer on to stain and rug it out gently with a clean cloth. Repeat if necessary. • Blood - cover stain with equal parts cold water and meat tenderizer and let stand for 30 mins. Then clean with cold water.

Certificate for Flewellyn/Jones farm house BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The ceremony for the Ottawa Architectural Conservation Awards on Feb. 21 included the presentation of certificates to owners of designated buildings that will be receiving heritage designation plaques this year. One of these buildings is the Flewellyn/Jones farm house at the northeast corner of Fernbank Road and Shea Road in Stittsville which was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in February of 2016. This one-and-a-half storey stone farm house is considered to have cultural heritage value as a reminder of the historic agricultural character of the former Goulbourn Township. It also has design value as a 19th century farm house and historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family and early settlement in Goulbourn Township.
It is considered a good example of a Gothic Revival farm house built in the late 19th century to replace an earlier dwelling. It features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmental arched windows and a veranda with wooden trim. The Flewellyn family was a prominent family in early Goulbourn Township who owned the house from its time of construction until the 1950s. The Flewellyn family came to Canada from Ireland in 1863. Features of this Flewellyn/Jones house as a Gothic Revival farm house include limestone construction, intersecting steeply pitched gable roofs, stone quoins, voussoirs, sills and lintels, decorative bargeboard trim with finials and pendants in the gable ends, segmental arched window openings with simple two-over-two windows and decorative chimneys. The Ottawa Architectural Conservation Awards are presented every two years to recognize excellence in the preservation of the city’s architectural heritage.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
March 9, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed The Keg Steakhouse Revised Plans I have received revised plans for the proposed Keg Restaurant located at 15 Huntmar Drive at the southwest corner of the Huntmar Drive and Hazeldean Road intersection. The site is vacant and has an area of 7,360 m2 with 80.17 m of frontage on Huntmar Drive and 72.39 m on Hazeldean Road. Right in-right-out vehicle accesses are proposed from Huntmar Drive and Hazeldean Road. I have been advised that the intention is for construction to begin by April 15th with the goal of opening the restaurant by the 30th of November. This is a best estimate and is dependent on finalizing approvals and permits. Below is a highlight of the changes: • The entrance to the building has moved from back of the building to the front and now has direct access to Hazeldean Road. • A pedestrian node (with bench) has been added to Hazeldean Road near the entrance of the building. • The building footprint and elevation along Hazeldean Road (considered the front) needed to be lengthened to comply with zoning provisions of Arterial Mainstreet Zone, which requires a minimum of 50% of the lot width within 3 metres of the front lot line, to be occupied by building walls. This change also resulted in a reconfiguration of the patio. The applicant considered moving the patio to the corner of Hazeldean and Huntmar but opted not to due to noise concerns impacting the dining experience and operational issues. • Additional windows (glazing) have been added along Hazeldean. • There have been a minor reconfiguration of parking area. • Extra accessible parking spaces have been added near the door along with a drop off area • Additional landscaping has been added within parking area and abutting building. • Street trees have been added to Huntmar Drive right-of-way. Please visit my website, www.shadqadri.com, to review the revised site plan, landscape plan and building elevations. For more information please contact my office and City Planner Mike Schmidt at Mike.Schmidt@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 x13431. Stittsville Street Renaming Date of Implementation As you may know, last year, five Stittsville streets were required to undergo changes due to duplicate and similar sounding names since amalgamation with the City of Ottawa in 2001. Because of the public safety risk this poses with Ottawa’s Emergency Services, the Street Renaming Project was implemented to reconcile these challenges. Names were suggested by members of the community and voted on by households living on the affected streets. The results were published in my November 4th electronic newsletter and on my website, www.shadqadri.com. Now, the time has come for these changes to take effect. On March 13th, residents of Bell, Elm, Goulbourn, and Meadowland will see their street signs changed. Bell St (from Stittsville Main-Norway Spruce) will become Bobcat Way, Bell St (from Norway Spruce-West Ridge) will become Snowberry Way, Elm St will become Brae Crescent, Goulbourn St will become Henry Goulburn Way, and Meadowland Way will become Turtleback Way. Long Meadow Way will retain its name but undergo a civic number change to the 900-series (ex: 23 Long Meadow Way becomes 923 Long Meadow Way). Residents of the affected streets should have received mailed notices in mid-February with instructions and tips for how best to proceed during this transitional period. Of course, if residents have any questions, I encourage you to contact me and City staff, Rebecca Anderson, at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca and Rebecca.Anderson@ottawa.ca. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details. 22 Stittsville News - Thursday, March 9, 2017
Ecole Paul-Desmarais hosts ‘Destination Imagination’ BY DEREK DUNN
derek.dunn@metroland.com
A competition that fosters creativity drew about 500 youth to Stittsville school on March 4. Destination Imagination, held at Ecole Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville, saw students from grades 3 to 12 from across Eastern Ontario gather to compete in technical challenges, along with scientific, fine arts, engineering and other categories. Doug Hunter has grown the nonprofit over past few years to now include French schools in a more substantial way. He was in the central lobby of Ecole Paul-Desmaraisl with principal Véronique Pourbaix-Kent as students busily ran from one classroom to another for performances. The retired businessman said today’s youth are too focused on getting the so-called right answer rather than taking risks and learning from mistakes. “I could go on for hours on this one,” he said. “Canada has to become a nation of innovators. Right now we aren’t. This event helps develop the four C's: creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.” Pourbaix-Kent agrees that becoming more innovative is crucial heading into tomorrow’s work world. She was also pleased to welcome kids from far and wide to the school, and to see the event fully bilingual. “This is a great home we have and we are excited to have all these people with us today,” she said. “Innovative learning is important, and it’s fun. We wanted to make this as friendly as possible.” Benjamin Wooby of Sharbot Lake was having plenty of fun. He couldn’t get enough of the robots at the Ottawa Robotics Competition. The organization and others were invited to set up a booth at Destination Imagination. Benjamin couldn’t seem to get enough. “I love anything that has to do with Lego,” he said. “I love it. I’m really enjoying the day here today. There is a lot of things to see.” Winners on the day in elementary (grades 3 to 6), middle (6 to 8), and secondary (9 to 12) are: • Technical Challenge Elementary Level — first Lamoureux Ottawa; second Jeanne-Lajoie Pembroke; third the Flaming Marshmallows Ottawa; • Technical Challenge Middle Level — first Collège Catholique Samuel-Genest Ottawa; second Queen Elizabeth PS Renfrew; third Pierre-Savard Ottawa; • Scientific Challenge Elementary Level — first Westboro Academy Ottawa; second St. Gabriel School Kanata; third Central Public School Renfrew; • Scientific Challenge Middle Level — first Our Lady

Goulbourn Hornets win bronze medals SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Bronze medal winners in Cornwall
Submitted
Members of the Goulbourn Hornets Major Bantam girls basketball team which won bronze medals in the recent Cornwall Lions tournament are (front row, kneeling, from left) Maisie Ross, Tinah Djerbib, Kaitlyn Flanders, Abigail Authier, Sarah DiCresce and Elly Turk and (back row, standing, from left) coach Jon Leboutillier, Taylor Moynes, Mia Leglise, Alyssa Rollin, Jordyn LeBoutillier, Erin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill and Macey Hanniman.
The recent Cornwall Lions Invitational Basketball Tournament turned out to be a bronze experience for the Goulbourn Hornets major bantam girls. This was the second time this season that the Hornets team has come home with bronze medals from a local tournament. In December the Goulbourn girls captured the bronze medals in the Chris Paulin Tournament in Kanata. But winning the bronze medals at the Cornwall Lions Invitational Tournament was not easy, with the tournament featuring not only teams from Eastern Ontario but also a team from Massena, N.Y. The bronze medal game itself was a nail-biter for the players, their coach Jon LeBoutillier and the parents who were watching. With only 36 seconds left on the clock, the Hornets held a narrow, two point lead 32-30. So much could happen in 36 seconds. But the Hornets kept their composure, maintained possession of the ball and came out victorious, bringing home the bronze medal from the tournament. Next up for the Goulbourn Hornets major bantams is Hamilton for the Blessed Sacrament Invitational Tournament this month, followed by Brampton in April for the Ontario Basketball Association Provincial Cup Championships.

It’s called a “paint night” but it’s oh-so-much more than that. Sure, going home with a painting is the result of the evening, but this is after a couple of hours of relaxation, chatting, wine tasting and fun. Stittsville author and artist Elizabeth Radmore hosts such paint nights in the basement of her Talltree Crescent home, where groups of four, six or eight would-be artists gather to create a piece of art in an evening. And, you know what, it happens! It never ceases to amaze that someone, even a person with no artistic training, can create a painting in this one “paint night” evening. But that’s what happens, just like it did recently when Elizabeth welcomed four visiting would-be artists to her basement where the walls are filled with her own paintings. Attending on this particular evening were Natalie Travis, Stephanie Gelineau, Teresa Buckley and Arlene Campbell. Each started with a blank canvas and little or no previous art experience, except for Natalie, who had participated in other paint nights. A key ingredient in these paint nights is the presence of Elizabeth, who is an experienced and accomplished artist in her own right. But

this is not an art class — far from it. Rather than being an instructor, she is there to provide advice. This prevents her novice “paint nighters” from getting frustrated and allows the evening to evolve smoothly. So Elizabeth might demonstrate how to paint the sky or might point out which size of brush would be best for a particular chore. And, most miraculously of all, each participant does leave the paint night with a painting done by their own hand. “It will all come together,” Elizabeth tells her four painters at this particular paint night as they get underway creating their art. They all do the same scene, which on this night was a landscape involving a grove of birch trees. And when Elizabeth tells them early on that at the end of the evening they will stand there with their painting and wonder with amazement how they managed to create such a piece of art, there may have been some doubt, but at the end of the evening, there they all are, proudly possessing a birch tree scene. Elizabeth helps the evening be stress free, not only by telling them that there are no mistakes, particularly in using acrylics, which is a very forgiving medium, but also by taking her “pupils” step by step through the process of creating their scene.

Painting birch tree scene Continued from page 26
So, the blue sky is put on the blank canvas first, filling the top two-thirds of the canvas. And then the lower third of the canvas becomes the grassy ground. And when Elizabeth advises them that in applying the paint, you have to know when to quit, didn’t all four of them burst into that Kenny Rogers song about knowing when to hold them and when to fold them. Yes, this is painting but done in a fun atmosphere! The whole process is helped with sips of wine as well as a supportive environment, with all of the painters encouraging each other throughout the evening. And Elizabeth is always there to provide little tips to help them along the way. Don’t overwork the paint because then you lose its natural flow, she advises, one of her many tips to her painters during the evening. Once the sky and ground are in place, out comes the hair dryer to dry the painting before things proceed to the next stage, adding the birch trees to the scene. These trees start as swishes of white paint applied where each individual tree will be going. And on it goes as the paintings gradually take shape, looking more and more like the finished painting that is on display throughout the evening as a reference point for these novice painters. And there you have it — an evening of conversation and wine that results in four ladies heading home not only with a birch tree painting created by their own hand but also with a feeling of contentment and accomplishment of having spent an evening that was not only thoroughly enjoyable but also very educational and fulfilling. Elizabeth Radmore can be contacted at 613-435-9042 if you would like to participate in one of her paint nights.

God played big role in family life back in the ‘30s
I
t wasn’t as if Emerson had done some dastardly deed like stealing money out of the sugar bowl, but what he did earned him a sound cuff on the ear from Mother. What he did was say, “God, I sure would like a real hockey stick, instead of the one Father made out of a piece of wood.” It wasn’t that wanting the hockey stick got him into trouble; it was saying “God” outside of praying. It was a sin to take God’s name in vain, and Mother wouldn’t tolerate it, and that’s all there was to it. Mother didn’t say a word. She didn’t have to. The cuff on the ear said it all. And yet, it seemed to me, as I watched Emerson take his punishment, that adults were forgiven for taking the Lord’s name in vain. Father never quite got the word God out. He would say, “by gad,” which to me was too close to the actual word for comfort. And as I sat and thought about all the ways God’s name was worked into everyday conversations, I had a very hard time figuring out what was right and what was wrong — and then there were the times when it seemed perfectly normal. Mother had a host of sayings all relating to God’s mercy, such as the time old Granny Hines died. Mother clutched her breast with her right hand, then made the sign of the cross, and in a FOR SALE

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why God would object to our going anywhere. And “if God favours” was another of Mother’s favourite expressions, or “if God allows,” as if there was some doubt in her mind as to where we would all be in a few days hence. Hardly a day went by that Mother didn’t say, “Only God knows,” used when she couldn’t come up with a reason or something had been mislaid. But, what terrified me the most was when a neighbour came to visit who was said to be the biggest gossip in the county. She was an enormous woman, and when she was telling a story — usually one hard to believe — she would clutch her chest and say, “If that isn’t the truth, may God strike me dead.” Well, that sent chills right up my back. And I would pray silently that what she said was the gospel truth. I wasn’t as concerned about her expiring as I was about how we would get her out of the house. Certainly, no one could lift her. And I had visions of Father bringing the stoneboat up to the back door, and with the help of my three brothers, rolling her across the kitchen floor, and out the back door and onto the stoneboat. When I talked to my older and much wiser sister Audrey about the God issue, and asked why
MARY COOK Memories solemn voice said, “God rest her weary soul.” I had a hard time figuring out how Granny’s soul was going to rest if she was already dead. God figured prominently in just about everything we did, I figured. And we never planned a trip into Renfrew without Mother saying, “God willing.”

Mother called upon Him so often, she said it had everything to do with what she called an abiding faith. “Faith” I knew. “Abiding” was a new word for me, and I looked it up in my little red dictionary and found it meant enduring and lasting, and it was then I knew why Mother so often worked God’s name into whatever she was saying. It was simply because back then, when every day was a struggle to make ends meet, we certainly needed God to survive from one day to the next. Audrey said His mercy was enduring and lasting, and that made perfect sense to me. Back then, there wasn’t too much we could depend on. So, it wasn’t hard to understand why God was called upon so often. We needed all the help we could get.

Numbers show Stittsville remains popular growth area BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Stittsville’s city councillor is never shy at public events to talk up the virtues of his community to anyone who will listen. And the preliminary numbers from the 2016 Canadian Census appear to back him up as once again Stittsville continues to attract residents that
want to take advantage of its small town feel within the larger metrolopolis that is the City of Ottawa as a whole. While exact ward by ward numbers are still to be determined, Ottawa city staff have provided Stittsville Ward 6 Coun. Shad Qadri with estimated population and dwelling counts for his ward, and those numbers show continued growth.
Estimated 2016 year-end population for his ward by city staff was pegged at 32,829, and those residents live within 11,333 households. “This is exciting news for the ever -growing population of Stittsville and I look forward to sharing the official census data upon release,” Qadri said. The 2016 census was distributed to all Canadian households to gather information about the country’s com-
munities. The results of the census will be released according to themes in the coming months. According to the census numbers released on population, the City of Ottawa’s population increased to 934,243 in 2016, compared to 883,391 from the census in 2011, for a total population increase of 5.8 per cent. More census data will be released on the following schedule:
• May 3 - Age and sex, type of dwelling • May 10 - Census of agriculture • August 2 - Families, households and marital status, language • September 13 - Income • October 25 - Immigration and ethnocultural diversity, housing, aboriginal peoples • November 29– Education, labour, language of work
Seeking volunteers in the Stittsville area? BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Sometimes if you ask, you will get. Organizations and groups in the Stittsville area now have another place they can post volunteers wanted pleas. They can now do so through the website of Ward 6 Coun. Shad Qadri, who has created a space on his website for volunteers wanted notices to be posted. “Some people brought that up as a suggestion that there be a place for volunteer notices and I thought it was a good idea so we have done that,” Qadri told the
Stitttsville News recently. “A few have come in, and we’ll post them as they come in,’ he said. “I think this is a great opportunity for a resource where high school students looking to add to their volunteer experience or residents simply looking to lend a helping hand may refer to.,” Qadri said in a post on his website. “If you or an organization you know of in the community are looking for volunteers, please contact me with your request for inclusion at Shad.Qadri@ ottawa.ca.,” Qadri said of the postings.

Filipino voices at World Day of Prayer SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The voices of the women of the Philippines were heard at the 2017 World Day of Prayer service in Richmond. It was not only the voices of these women as written in the words of the service which were prepared by the World Day of Prayer Committee of the Philippines but it was also the voice of Marivie Quijada, a woman from the Philippines who is now living in Richmond where she works as a nanny and where she is experiencing her first Canadian winter. She told those assembled in St. John’s Anglican Church about her childhood as one of eight children, about becoming a Born Again Christian and its impact on her relationship with her family, about working as she attended college, on giving birth to a baby girl as an unmarried woman, on becoming a domestic worker in Hong Kong and about applying to come to Canada and having that application eventually approved which was “a dream come true” in her words. Applause and a standing ovation followed her remarks at the service. Other Filipino women’s voice heard in the readings at the service included that of Merlyn who lost her mother to cancer and her father in a shooting when she was just seven years old. She eventually worked as a domestic helper. The Philippines has over two million domestic workers who are often abused and experience economic injustice. Those at the service also heard from Celia, a sugar farmworker who sells food, soap and toothpaste to earn extra income and also does laundry for other families and still does not earn enough to provide three decent daily meals for her family. The voice of Editha, a 69 year old widow, was also heard among the readings of the service whose life was adversely affected by Typhoon Haiyan, losing her shop and her home. She still does not have a job or a new home. And there was also an audio clip of her saying The Lord’s Prayer in Tagalog which is the Filipino language, adding yet another way of hearing the voice of the Filipino women. The worship service was based on the theme “Am I Being Unfair to You?” a phrase taken from the Gospel of St. Matthew (20:1:16). It included several songs with the duo of Sylvia Wallace and Gerry Seed leading the singing, accompanied by Sandra Vandenberg on keyboard. In the service, readings were done by a variety of readers including the meditation segment of the service when the theme was reflected upon by those present. This World Day of Prayer service began with the presentation of some background information about the Philippines, a sovereign country situated in the western Pacific Ocean in Southeast Asia. It is an archipelago consisting of 7,107 islands but with three main islands. The Philippines are prone to earthquakes and typhoons. Civilization on the Philippines is believed to go back at least 67,000 years with the first western contact being the arrival of explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Subsequent Spanish rule achieved the political unification of almost the whole archipelago that had previously been composed of independent kingdoms. In 1898, as a result of the Spanish-American War, control of the Philippines was transferred to the United States. It was after the end of the Second World War that the Philippine Republic was established as an independent nation. Christianity is the major religion in the Philippines, with over 80 per cent of the population being Roman Catholic. However, there is also Islam, Hinduism and Philippine traditional religions. The Philippine population and economy are both among the fastest growing in Asia. There are more than 100 million people in the Philippines, with between 120 and 170 languages spoken. English, though, is considered an official language for communication and instruction. Despite having had two female presidents and a constitution that provides for equal rights, Filipino women are discriminated against and are treated as subordinates in the home, in church and in society in general. The majority of Filipino women remain poor and are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. It was the Church Women United of the Philippines, an
inter-denominational organization, that co-ordinated the World Day of Prayer involvement by the women of the Philippines. The World Day of Prayer artist who provided an piece of art entitled A Glimpse of the Philippine Situation was Rowena “Apol” Laxamana-Sta. Rosa, a full-time mother and housewife and a freelance illustrator. A copy of the art was displayed on the front of the altar at St. John’s Anglican Church during the World Day of Prayer service. In addition, during the service, Marsha Deyell wore a white patch covering an eye, just like a woman in the art. The service was followed by a luncheon in the parish hall where a number of Philippine items such as sandals, jewelry, small purses and some textiles were on display. The Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada (WICC) co-ordinated the Canadian celebration of the World Day of Prayer. It began in 1918 resulting in the first national Day of Prayer in Canada in 1920, an event which became the World Day of Prayer in 1922.

Goulbourn Historical Society AGM It has become something of a tradition, started when current board member Lynne Blenk joined the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society several years ago. At that time, Lynne was unable to attend the annual general meeting at which vacant positions were being filled on the board of directors and so a photograph of Lynne was displayed at
the meeting to give members a visual representation of whom they were electing as a director on the board. The tradition continued at this year’s recent annual general meeting when Susan Clark-Dow, a proposed new board member, could not attend the meeting. See DIRECTORS, page 39

Directors elected Continued from page 37
But she was there visually, just like Lynne Blenk was previously, as her photograph was displayed for all those present. The tradition works, as Susan was elected as a new director on the Society’s board. Susan is no stranger to Historical Society activities as she has been involved with the Society’s Historical Properties Project along with Barbara Bottriell and Bob Halberstadt. This project tries to identify and document older homes in the Goulbourn area, recording their details in case they disappear with development pressures. Susan has also provided coffee and tea at various Historical Society programs in recent years. Another director elected at the annual general meeting was Elizabethe (Liz) Hobbs, who joins for a three-year term. She has been sitting on the board, finishing up the term of a director’s position which had been vacated with a year to go in the term. On the board, Liz has been looking after the Society’s Facebook and social media presence. Liz is a Sacred Heart High School graduate where she was a superb wrestler and rugby player. Stepping down from the board of directors this year was Irene O’Grady who was serving as the Board’s secretary. She will, however, be continuing as a member of the Society. So the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s Board of Directors for 2017, with its newly elected director, its re-elected director and its other directors still completing their terms on the board, looks like this: Lynne Blenk, Debbie Proulx, Lee Boltwood, Bob Halberstadt, Elizabethe Hobbs, Lesley McKay, Shaun Peppy, Susan ClarkDow and Barbara Bottriell. On the 2016 board, the officers were Lynne Blenk as vice-president, Irene O’Grady as secretary, Debbie Proulx as treasurer, Barb Bottriell as immediate past president and Lee Boltwood, Bob Halberstadt, Elizabethe Hobbs, Lesley McKay and Shaun Peppy as directors. Looking after various tasks for the Historical Society in 2016 were Robin Derrick for membership, Lesley McKay for the newsletter, Georgia Derrick for programs, Joan Darby for archives, Barbara Bottriell for publications, Elizabethe Hobbs for Facebook and social media, Bob Halberstadt for historic properties and John Bottriell as webmaster. Each of the Historical Society’s committees presented a written report of 2016 activities at the annual general meeting, with each report being made available for those who wished a copy. The Historical Properties Project reported that it has been accumulating data on some of the older homes in Goulbourn, mainly built before the year 1900. The data includes land transfer records, census records, old maps and newspaper articles. The project has also included taking photographs of some of the homes. The archives committee received 32 reference questions via the Society’s website. In addition, 24 people signed in to use the Historical Society files at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. In 2016, webmaster John Bottriell managed the Society’s website, maintained the Society’s computer at the Stittsville library and scanned a number of new donated documents.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Q: I’ve read that incorporation of my new business venture is a good asset protection strategy. How does incorporation protect my home and personal assets? A bedrock principle of corporate law is that, subject to some exceptions, the officers, directors and shareholders of a limited liability corporation are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the corporation. This limited liability shield distinguishes a corporation from other forms of business entities including proprietorships and partnerships. Suppose your business is the retail sale of imported furniture. You purchase and pay for the furniture from your supplier and have the furniture delivered to your customer directly from the supplier. The furniture is delivered badly damaged, is not accepted by the customer, and your customer demands return of the monies paid. You seek compensation from your supplier but find out your supplier is bankrupt. You do not have the money to refund the customer. Are your home and other personal assets exposed to the customer’s claims? If your business is incorporated, you rely on the protection of limited liability to shield your home and other personal assets.

About J. Robert Allan
Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.
By contrast, had you carried on business as a proprietorship, your home and other personal assets would be fully exposed to the customer’s claims. There are exceptions. You cannot rely on corporate protection to shield yourself from your own unlawful or tortious acts. You must ensure that your contracts clearly identify the corporation as the contracting party. There are also statutory exceptions that may expose directors to claims, such as claims by CRA for the failure to remit HST or make employee source deductions. Use of a limited liability corporation is an important tool that limits exposure of your home and other personal assets. Your professional advisors can inform you how to fully utilize the advantages of incorporation, and on the use of other strategies to limit or legally avoid other risks including the use of properly structured contracts and appropriate insurance.
