News - The Philippines, a faraway spot halfway around the world, has had an impact on Stittsville and more specifically on St. Stephen Catholic School. That’s because a student at St. Stephen School last week was confirmed by Ottawa Public Health as having measles. The child had not been immunized against measles and acquired the illness during travel to the Philippines which is currently experiencing a widespread measles outbreak. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) announced this confirmed case of measles in Stittsville on Thursday, March 6. OPH then worked with the school officials to notify and inform potentially exposed students and staff.

Subdivision services this fall? John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Installation of services for a proposed new 650-unit housing subdivision south of Hartsmere Drive in Stittsville could be underway as soon as this fall. That is the observation of Murray Chown,
a planning consultant working for Novatech Engineering Consultants Ltd., when he was asked about the development schedule for the subdivision at a public information meeting about the project on Tuesday, March 4 at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. He expects that conditions for draft plan approval of the subdivision will be forth-
coming within a month, to be followed by formulation of detailed engineering design work and a hydrogeological study that could take four to six months to complete. Installation of services in the ground could follow this, happening this fall. See LOOKING, page 7

Big Band sound at Villa Special to the News
News - The Big Band sound came to the Stittsville Villa Retirement Community on Wednesday, March 5. Bringing it to them was Stittsville’s Main & Abbott Dance Band. Big Band standards and other swing music songs filled the air as the band performed for about an hour. The Main & Abbott Dance Band’s repertoire reads like a who’s who of Big Band/Swing music – Count Basi’s “Jumping At The Woodside�; Glenn Miller’s “Tuxedo Junction�; Benny Goodman’s “Let’s Dance�; Tommy Dorsey’s “Getting Sentimental�; Harry James’ “Sugar Blues�; and on and on. And for those who missed this performance
at the Stittsville Villa Retirement Community on Stittsville Main Street, you will have another chance not only to hear the music of the Main & Abbott Dance Band but also to dance the evening away to it. That’s because the Main & Abbott Dance Band is playing at a “Swing into Spring� dance at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street this coming Saturday, March 15 at 8 p.m. So, if you like this kind of music, just for listening or for dancing, then you will want to be at the Legion hall this Saturday. Tickets are only $10 per person so it’s a great deal. A light snack will also be included. Tickets are available at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street or by calling 613-8361632.

People of Nicaragua impress Sacred Heart students John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It’s a far different country; it’s far away; it has a different climate; and it has a different language and culture. It’s Nicaragua, the largest country in the Central American isthmus with its capital, Managua, being the third largest city in Central America. But no matter the differences and some obvious poverty, it would seem that it’s the people there who are the real treasure of that land. At least, five grade 11 Sacred Heart Catholic High School students who have just returned from a school-organized student group community service trip to Managua and Nicaragua would seem to testify to this. Mitchell Denomme says that his most striking memory of the trip is the relationships which were developed with children there, with the host families with which the students lived while there and with the families for whom they helped build homes. He does admit that the trip was an “eye opening” experience and now that he has experienced conditions in such a country, he intends to find another similar situation in which he can help, even something happening in Ottawa. Jacob Byrnes notes how thankful the people in the barrio in Managua where the students worked were for the efforts of the students in helping them out in building homes and painting murals. He also said that the host families where the students lived during their week-long stay there were very generous people. He too says that this experience in Nicaragua has changed his views now that he has seen people in poor circumstances in the real world and not just on television. He said that seeing the living conditions of the poor in Nicaragua really hit him as he found it somewhat shocking. Scott Weisenberg noted how happy everyone in that barrio in Managua was that the students were there helping out. He said that he will now look differently at someone whom he sees living on the street now, saying that the trip has shown him that everyone wants the best for their family, even if sometimes this is not possible. Scott also noted that the group of students and teachers who travelled to Nicaragua on this community service trip really bonded as a

INJURY LAW
group as a result of the experience. Maiah Devereaux said that helping to build houses in Nicaragua was definitely a highlight of the trip for her, especially how they got to share the experience with the people there. She said that everyone there was so kind and friendly towards them. “The people there are just amazing,” she said. She added that the trip has given her hope in people in general, noting how the children there were so happy and yet have so little. This has made her realize just how fortunate people in Stittsville and Canada are. Maiah was also impressed with the strong sense of community that exists in this particular barrio, saying that people share everything and everyone knows everyone. She adds that everyone on the trip had a memorable time. “It was an amazing experience,” she said. Kylie Negus attributes her positive trip experience to the attitude of the people there. “The people kind of made it,” she says, noting that they are so happy with what they have, little as it may be. She said that the children attending school seem so happy and were constantly hugging the Sacred Heart students when they visited the school. She noted that the host family where she lived made her feel just so welcome, even inviting her to come back if she wanted. She was also touched when a little girl gave her a pair of earrings even though she did not have much herself. The earrings now are a fond memento of the trip for Kylie. Kylie says that she is happy that she got to contribute by helping build a house and working on a mural at the school. She is most thankful that she was able to experience the trip, saying that it has made her more aware of what goes on in poorer countries and has made her more grateful for what she has in Canada. Nicaragua runs from the Caribbean Sea in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. As a result, the country has Caribbean lowlands, a central highlands area and a Pacific lowlands area. Nicaragua achieved independence from Spain in 1821. It is now a representative democratic republic that has experienced economic growth and
political stability in recent years. The population of Nicaragua, which is about six million people, is multi-ethnic. This includes indigenous native tribes, Europeans, Africans, Asians and others. The main language
is Spanish. Nicaraguan culture has folklore, music and religious traditions. Its music is a mixture of indigenous and European, especially Spanish, influences.

Sports - The South Carleton Storm are champions! The South Carleton High School boys team captured the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association (NCSSAA) tier one high school hockey championship with a 4-1 victory over Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School Lancers in the deciding game of the three-game championship series on Wednesday, March 5. The game was played at the Ray Friel Recreation Complex on Tenth Line Road in Orleans, right next to Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School. It was a closer championship final game than the 4-1 score would indicate as the game was tied 1-1 going into the third period. Six minutes elapsed in this third period before the Storm went on a power play. With 17 seconds to go in the power play, Jacob Adams of the Storm buried a backhander past the Lancers goalie after pouncing on a rebound, making it 2-1 for the Storm. Then, with just 3:59 left in the period, Trent Linklater of the Storm blasted a high hard one that found the back of the Lancer net, giving the Storm a 3-1 lead. As time wound down in the game, the Lancers pulled their goalie but the move backfired as the Storm’s Jacob Adams scored into the empty net with 48 seconds showing on the clock to give the Storm a 4-1 lead which ended up being the final score. It was quite a scoring game for Jacob Adams of the Storm as he not only scored two goals in the third period but had scored the team’s first goal of the game as well. Indeed, the game did not start off that well for the South Carleton Storm. The team survived an early penalty but with three and a half minutes gone in the first period, the Laurier Lancers scored the game’s opening goal, with a delayed penalty in the process of being called against the Storm. It looked like the Storm would be down 1-0 at the end of the first period but with only 57 seconds left on the clock, Jacob Adams scored his first goal of the game, picking up a rebound and burying it in the Lancers goal twine. The second period proved to be scoreless, setting up the deciding final period. As the final buzzer sounded, Storm players on the bench rushed onto the ice, tossing sticks and gloves here and there as they gathered together to celebrate their victory. The teams then shook hands at centre ice, following which they lined up on their bluelines with the coaches presenting the players with their respective medals – championship gold for the Storm and runner-up medals for the Lancers. The championship trophy was presented to the Storm’s Tyler Olson, with the team then assembling for a team photo with the championship trophy. The South Carleton Storm had come back from an opening game loss in this best-of-three championship final series, a 5-4 loss, on Monday, March 3 to tie up the series with a do-or-die victory over Sir Wilfrid Laurier at the Richmond arena on Tuesday, March 4, setting up the deciding game on Wednesday, March 5. The South Carleton Storm had advanced to the championship final series by defeating the West Carleton Secondary Schools Wolves 4-3 in semi-final playoff action at the Richmond arena on Wednesday, Feb. 26. Sir Wilfrid Laurier Lancers had advanced to the championship final series by beating Colonel By Secondary School 3-2 in semi-final playoff action. In the regular season in the nine-team tier one high school boys hockey league, the South Carleton Storm finished in second place with a record of seven wins, two losses and a tie in ten games. Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School had finished in first place with a record of eight wins and two losses. In the regular season, South Carleton and Sir Wilfrid Laurier had met once, with Sir Wilfrid Laurier skating off with a 6-4 victory. Members of the championship South Carleton High School Storm boys hockey team are goalies Kyle Stacey and Connor Chisholm and players Justin Vaughn, Wendel Wilson, Andrew Gore, Taylor Campbell, Sam Morley, Josh Muldoon, Trent Linklater, Nathan Grenon, James Redmond, Matt McDonald, Wyatt Parsons, Tyler Olson, Scott Dawson, Brad Rintoul and Jacob Adams. Coaches are Matthew MacDonald, Tyler Sullivan and Brett Lyle.

Looking for feedback on two issues Continued from page 1
As a result of questions and input at the public information meeting, Mr. Chown specifically asked for feedback from the more than 125 people at the meeting and others about two issues: the location of a proposed park at the western end of the subdivision and the introduction of a second street connection between the new subdivision and Hartsmere Drive to provide for the possibility of more traffic control on Hartsmere Drive. The proposed park at the western end of the subdivision is now being shown as located in the interior of the subdivision, running between two east/west streets. Previously the park had been shown farther west in the southwest corner of the subdivision and adjacent to estate lot lands to the south. Mr. Chown said that the park was relocated to have it in a more central location in the subdivision but commented that its location is not a “fait accompli� yet and its location could still be adjusted. He said that having the park adjacent to homes in the adjacent Brad’s Court estate lot area would provide a greenspace buffer for these homes but it could also be a source of playground noise and public access to the estate lot backyards. Concerns were raised about the amount of traffic currently using Hartsmere Drive, especially due to the location of Westwind Public School on the street, and how the new subdivision would make this situation worse. The one road connection between the new subdivision and the Hartsmere Drive area will line up with the existing Arrowwood Drive and could allow the city to establish a four-way stop intersection there, providing for a safer crossing for students and controlling traffic flow on Hartsmere Drive. The city apparently is now considering this possibility. A transportation study related to the new subdivision projects a traffic increase at this intersection in the order of 50 vehicles per hour at peak times, not in the hundreds of vehicles. Mr. Chown suggested that if a second road connection from the new subdivision to Hartsmere Drive across from Trustee M. Curry Park was included back in the plan, a second opportunity would exist to establish an all-way stop there. This would provide a second location for students and pedestrians to cross Hartsmere
Drive safety and would also slow down traffic on Hartsmere Drive. This is the suggestion about which he is looking for feedback from the public. At the public information meeting, Mr. Chown said that a detailed hydrogeological study would be undertaken for the subdivision which would include the testing of wells within a “zone of influence� before construction begins. He said any wells shown to be adversely affected in water quantity by the new subdivision would be replaced by the developer. He made it clear, though, that there will be no contamination of wells in the adjacent Woodside Acres estate lot subdivision as a result of this new subdivision. He said that impact on wells would involve water quantity, not quality. However, he did say that a possibility that had not been considered but might be something that the developer can do would be to install vibration sensors at the property lines of Woodside Acres homes. He made this comment after a concern was expressed that concrete septic tanks in Woodside Acres may be cracked by blasting in the new subdivision. A leaking septic tank could then contaminate the estate lot subdivision’s water supply. One suggestion made at the public meeting was that the street pattern serving the most southern part of the subdivision include one continuous straight street rather than be broken into three parts as proposed. This would make the street more functional, it was suggested, and might take traffic off Hartsmere Drive to the north. Mr. Chown said that having a straight east/ west street running through the whole subdivision was avoided in order to prevent traffic from racing through the subdivision. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, in whose ward not only the existing Woodside Acres estate lot subdivision is located but also in whose ward the site of the proposed new subdivision is located (although it will be shifted to the Stittsville ward since it is being developed as urban land), commented that one straight east/west street in the new subdivision would be just re-creating the situation that has led to the existing traffic problems on Hartsmere Drive which is an east/ west street. He said that it would bring forth complaints from residents of the new subdivision and would be trying to solve the current

Hartsmere Drive traffic problems by re-creating a similar situation in the new subdivision. Mr. Chown commented at the meeting that he would be surprised if there were any development proposals for land south of this proposed subdivision within the next 15 to 20 years given the city of Ottawa’s focus of trying to intensify development within the city’s existing urban boundaries. He described as “remote� any movement of the urban boundary farther south in this location but urged residents to be diligent if the city does study the possibility of expanding the urban area, such as in the 2018 review of the city’s Official Plan. A storm water pond for this new subdivision as well as for the existing Westwind subdivision will be directed to a new storm water pond on rural land south of the subdivision. This storm water pond will control the quantity and quality of the storm water that will be released into the Faulkner Drain flowing to the south. The amount of water being handled by the Faulkner Drain will remain the same as the current flows. Higher density development in the form of three to four storey mid-rise dwellings is proposed for land along Stittsville Main Street in this subdivision as well on the adjacent Brian Crook and Ray/Grace Bell properties. The Crook and Bell properties are not included in this subdivision proposal. Both would need rezonings before any higher density development happened there. Mr. Chown said that it is common planning practice to locate higher density housing adjacent to arterial streets like Stittsville Main Street instead of within a subdivision. The proposed intersection of a street from this new subdivision and Stittsville Main
Street, lining up with West Ridge Drive to form a four-way intersection, apparently would not meet the warrants to justify installation of a traffic signal or roundabout. Mr. Chown did comment that there are circumstances in development where traffic signals are installed in advance of traffic warrants justifying such an installation being met. A proposed street connection between the Woodside Acres estate lot subdivision to the south and the new subdivision (an extension of Poplarwood Avenue) has been eliminated from the plan. This will be a pedestrian walkway only. This was done in response to comments received at a previous meeting about the proposed subdivision last August. This proposed subdivision is planned to have 309 single family homes, 269 townhomes and 72 so-called terrace homes in higher density areas. This is a total of 650 units. The subdivision will have low density housing backing onto existing homes on the south side of Hartsmere Drive and also low density housing with extra deep lots backing onto existing homes in the adjacent Woodside Acres estate lot subdivision. In addition, existing tree cover will be retained at the rear of these lots. This land was included in the city’s urban boundary as a result of a review of the city’s Official Plan in 2009. However, it was not until 2012 that it became official as a result of a decision by the Ontario Municipal Board due to appeals launched against the Official Plan review. This plan of subdivision covers only part of the lands in this area between Stittsville Main Street and Shea Road. These are lands controlled by Regional Realty and Cavanagh Construction. A proposed plan of subdivision for the Davidson lands to the east, fronting on both Fernbank Road and Shea Road, has yet to come forward, although the demonstration plan for the whole area shows how the two areas will be linked.

Let’s make our changing neighbourhoods work for everyone
T
he people we used to call yuppies (young urban professionals) have been the salvation of many cities. They have revitalized older neighbourhoods. With their buying power and political activism they have demanded and got better restaurants and stores, improved schools and daycare facilities for their children. But there is a downside too, as some cities have begun to notice. As neighbourhoods become revitalized, property values go up, and along with them, property taxes. As the trendy stores and restaurants move into the neighbourhood shopping areas, rents go up too. All of a sudden, there is this wonderful neighbourhood and only the well-to-do can afford to live in it. But of course there are people who are not well-to-do living there. These are the people who lived there before it was fashionable to do so, when it was possible for a person of modest means to own a home in the neighbourhood. These are the people who had family-owned stores on the now-fashionable street. Unless these people get help, the locally owned stores disappear, the modest houses are sold and torn down to make room for much larger ones with three-car garages. The neighbourhood has been revitalized, but its character has been destroyed.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town A recent New York Times story details this process in several U.S. cities, such as Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and Pittsburgh, where so-called gentrification has threatened homeowners from the working- and lowermiddle classes. A common solution has been to freeze or lower property taxes for long-time homeowners, many of whom suffered through years of declining property values and perhaps high crime in the years before the gentrifiers arrived. Officials in those cities are aware that tax dollars have been spent on making their cities attractive to young professionals -- those dog parks, bike paths and soccer fields cost money. Often tax breaks were given to condo developers. So it seems a matter of simple fairness to make sure that long-time residents of more

modest means are not unduly penalized. At the same time, there is some political risk in doing so, since the revitalization process, with its march of new condos, is a continuing source of new tax dollars. A city politician who will forgo a source of revenue is a rare bird, so it’s clear that a crisis of sorts is in sight. Obviously the residents of American cities, because of the 2008 mortgage crisis, are in more of a bind than Canadians, but you only need to walk around a Canadian city to see that the problem applies to us too. The Glebe might have been the first neighbourhood to become (a) really nice, and then (b) unaffordable. Westboro has obviously followed and Hintonburg is next. What has happened on the residential level has been matched in the retail sector. Neighbourhood store after neighbourhood store has succumbed to increased taxes or increased rents. Too often the replacement has been a chain. Too often a hardware or grocery store has been replaced by a coffee shop or a fitness centre. The result: more power to the car culture that forces us to drive every time we need some little thing. Since our city government, like other city governments, says it wants to reduce the impact of the car culture, our city, like other cities,
should be trying to find ways to keep small stores in business, just as it should find ways to keep lower-middle class and working people in their homes. Failing some remedial action, the look of the future is there already for us to see: pleasant but unaffordable urban neighbourhoods surrounded by suburbs clustered around giant shopping centres, the two linked by a clogged river of cars. Gentrification, along with intensification, has been seen as the salvation of our cities. Well managed, it probably can be. But cities need to be for everyone.

South Carleton student Elizabeth Cathcart going to write about students News - My name is Elizabeth Cathcart and I am a student at South Carleton High School in Richmond. Being 16 years of age and living in a free country, I’d say that life comes pretty easy. But that does not mean there are no “up’s and down’s.� Indeed, let’s be honest – life is like a roller coaster. It feels strange for a person of my youth to analyze the true meaning of life but I feel that I have had to grow up pretty fast. But I cannot forget the fact that I am young – I am only a teenager. Life is going to throw some curve balls at me, so I have to be prepared to deal with them and to make mistakes at times. But something good comes out of every situation, no matter how long it may take to become obvious. This thought has made me get a new perspective on everyone and everything. That is why I will be writing articles about other students at South Carleton High School. Remember – just when you think that you know a person, you may discover a whole new side to his or her personality and character. That’s what makes life so intriguing and fascinating. I hope that you find my articles equally intriguing and fascinating.

Crosswalks and the Highway Traffic Act Some of you may recall my column from the August 21st edition of the Stittsville News that spoke about the need for non-signalized crosswalks. The rules in Ontario state that is a pedestrian enters a painted but non-signalized crosswalk, that the driver has the right of way. Quite surprisingly, if a pedestrian was hit in one of these in Ontario, the liability is with the pedestrian. I can tell you this is not the case in the majority of Provinces and States in North America. Ottawa has called upon the Province to change the Highway Traffic Act and it would appear as though we are headed in the right direction. In the fall, we should have a clearer picture on what the updated HTA will include to address concerns of pedestrian safety. The ability to install a painted, mid-block crosswalk would allow us to provide increased pedestrian safety is areas such as Church Street, Perth Street, Dickinson Street and Manotick Main Street. In the past I had committed to ensuring that pedestrians are protected, not only with a crosswalk, but by the Highway Traffic Act. I feel we are one step closer to achieving this and I look forward to following through on these crosswalks in the near future. Thank you for your patience as we work toward a solution.
1942 Almonte Train Wreck The Goulbourn Historical Society would like to remind you about our upcoming March program.

Measles at St. Stephen Catholic School Continued from page 1
Ottawa Public Health announced last Monday the possible spread of measles to another student at the school. This student, who also has not been immunized, has shown symptoms of the disease. This was the first reported case of measles in the Ottawa area since Feb. 2011. The school responded to parental concerns about the situation and extra cleaning was done in several classrooms in the school to ensure that the measles virus was not lingering there. Pregnant staff members at the school were advised to stay home and students confirmed as not being immunized or as not having immunization records were told to stay home from school for Thursday, March 6 and until Tuesday, March 18. This has now been extended to Wednesday, March 26 due to the second case having been discovered. When the first case was discovered, a letter explaining the situation was sent home to parents. The situation arose on the last day of school for students before the March break. Friday, March 7 was a PD day while March break is happening this week, with no school. There are as yet no other reported cases of measles arising from this situation. Besides exposure at the school, Ottawa Public Health has advised that there could
have been potential exposure to the infected child at three medical facilities, two in Kanata and CHEO. The times of these exposures were Tuesday, Feb. 25 from 8:45 a.m. to noon at the Med-Team Clinic at 99 Kakulu Road in Kanata; Thursday, Feb. 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Active Care Clinic at 1108 Klondike Road in Kanata; and Friday, Feb. 28 from noon to 2:20 p.m. in the emergency department at CHEO. Ottawa Public Health has advised that anyone who might have been exposed in this situation and who is developing symptoms of measles should seek medical attention. Ottawa Public Health can be contacted at 613-580-6744 for more information. The measles virus is transmitted by airborne droplets or by direct contact with an infected person. Measles is more severe in adults and infants than in children and can lead to ear infections, pneumonia, swelling of the brain and, in extreme cases, death. Early symptoms of measles may include fever, cough and tiny white spots in the mouth. Within three to seven days, a red blotchy rash will appear, first on the face and then spreading to the body, arms and legs. Symptoms of measles usually begin from 8 to 12 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms may include bloodshot eyes, couch, fever, sensitivity to light, muscle pain, rash, runny nose, sore throat, tiny white spots inside the mouth and redness of the eyes.
The March meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society will be held on Tuesday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. Peter Jago will give a slide show featuring Japanese gardens while Arlene Rowe will speak about rain barrels. Everyone is welcome to attend although there is a small admission charge for visitors.

Close, close at the top at Lions euchre party Special to the News
News - It was close, oh so close, at the top at the euchre at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday evening, March 6. Henry Verhagen ended up finishing in first place with 78 points but he was only one point ahead of two others. Both Marisa Martin and Cleo Murray finished with 77 points, just one point out of first place and tied with each other for second place. Debbie Nelson with 52 points had the hidden score for the evening while Nancy Codd won the booby prize with her 35 points. Eleven tables were played at the euchre. There will be another euchre in this ongoing Thursday evening series at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and it will be a special evening, especially for the Irish. That’s because St. Patrick’s Day will be celebrated, granted a few days early but really it’s never too early to celebrate being Irish or wanting to be Irish. Those attended the euchre are being urged to wear green so that the Lions Hall will be a sea of green that evening. A potluck will be happening that evening as well, so there is going to be some wonderful food to go with the Irish cheer and the euchre fun. Everyone is welcome to attend these Thursday evening euchres at the Lions Hall in Stittsville. The euchres, which will be continuing until mid-April, begin at 7:30 p.m. The euchres are organized by the Stittsville District Lions Club with Lions Club members Bob and Beth Lewis as the hosts for the evening.

Treatment of measles usually involves taking medication like Tylenol and bed rest. Unless there are complications, a patient should recover well. Complications may include bronchitis, ear infection and pneumonia. Although measles has been virtually eliminated in North America, cases related to travel such as this one do occur. Children should be immunized and the vaccinations should be kept up to date. Ottawa Public Health should be notified every time that a child is vaccinated. The recent outbreak of measles in the Philippines has happened despite the fact that measles rates in the Philippines have declined dramatically since the 1990’s in parallel with increased vaccination usage. The recent outbreak of measles in the Philippines has seen more than 1700 confirmed cases as well as 21 deaths due to complications. Students are required to be vaccinated to attend school. However, exceptions are made for religious or medical reasons. Some parents do not have their children vaccinated because of fears that the vaccine which protects against measles can cause autism. Studies have found no connection between the vaccine and autism but the belief still exists among some parents. Measles is an infection of the respiratory system caused by a virus. It is considered highly contagious.

Learning about letter ‘P’ at Merrily We Go Preschool John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - The letter “P” was everywhere at the Merrily We Go Preschool in Stittsville last Friday, March 7. It was everywhere because that’s just the kind of day it was – it was a day for the youngsters to learn about the letter “P.” And to make it memorable and unforgettable, all of the youngsters go to wear their pyjamas to the Preschool that day – yes, their comfortable, familiar, cuddly pj’s. And what letter does pyjamas begin with – yes, that’s right, the letter “P.” But there was more to learning about the letter “P” than just wearing some “p” clothing. Led by teacher Jayne Tanner, the youngsters got to make popcorn in a popcorn maker. Another “p” experience! They also got to watch a special pirate cartoon movie and pirate is another special “p” word. And they got to watch the pirate movie sitting on pillows – there’s that “p” again. So, you can see, these Merrily We Go Preschool young-
sters now have lots of fond and fun memories to associate with the letter “P.” When learning is fun, it’s fun to learn! That’s what Merrily We Go Preschool tries to do – incorporate fun into the growing experience for youngsters. So whether it is a visit to the local fire hall to experience its sights and sounds while learning about fire safety or learning about the letters of the alphabet one letter at a time in a fun way like happened last Friday focusing on the letter“P”, the Merrily We Go Preschool is a fun and learning experience for youngsters. The Merrily We Go preschool, which was founded in 1991, is a non-denominational nursery school which meets at the St. Thomas Anglican Church where there is classroom space as well as a specious church hall which is used for gym time. Last Friday, gym time included games played with a parachute – another “P” word. At the Merrily We Go preschool, youngsters also enjoy free play time where they learn socialization skills and everyday living skills. There is also circle time where they hear stories, learning new
songs and talk about the letter of the week. The Preschool’s sensory tub teaches about different substances such as water, soap, pumpkins and rice. The art table at the Preschool allows a
child to use his or her imagination and creativity. Crafts done by the youngsters teach them how to follow directions and how to organize. Gym time promotes physical activity using organized activities.
And then there’s always snack time which helps the youngsters try new foods, learn table manners and develop conversation skills. Registration for the 2014 fall session at the Merrily We
Go PreSchool is now open. For more information or to register, please call 613-836-4320 or email merrilywego2010@ gmail.com. Registration will only remain open until enrolment is full.

Email bias? Special to the News
News - A Freedom of Information request by the Coalition of Citizen Groups opposing a new landfill on Carp Road has shown what the Coalition claims is a bias on the part of Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) officials in favour of Waste Management, the firm seeking the new website. The Coalition claims that internal MOE emails as well as emails between the MOE and Waste Management show this alleged bias. In addition, the Coalition questions the release of the Freedom of Information documents, well after the normal waiting period and after the Environmental Assessment for the new landfill had been approved. The Coaliton claims that in one email, a senior environmental officer with the MOE accuses several Coaltion volunteers of lying about the potential impact of a new landfill at the Carp Road site. The Coalition also claims that the MOE in its communications has dismissed community concerns, referring to community members involved in the Environmental Assessment process as “the usual suspects.� The Coalition has other examples that it says show MOE dismissal of community concerns and a bias in favour of Waste Management. Copies of the MOE emails are available on the website www.nodump.ca. “It’s disturbing that MOE officials responsible for monitoring the day to day operations of the landfill on Carp Road and protecting the environment and people from polluters so easily dismissed and discredited the concerns of the community,� says Harold Moore, a volunteer with the Coalition. The Environmental Assessment for the new landfill on Carp Road was approved by the provincial government last August. For the project to proceed, Waste Management has to obtain additional approvals from both the city of Ottawa and the MOE.
News - Their program featured cover songs from other artists but what a variety! These included the Canadian indie rock duo Tegan & Sara, Canadian singer and songwriter Meaghan Smith who won the Best New Artist award at the 2011 Juno Awards, English singer/songwriter Adele who won two Grammy Awards in 2009 (Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) and even the legendary Beatles. Yes, singer Caitlin Morton and her guitar playing friend Kurtis Armstrong who have known each other since high school delivered a wide selection of tunes in their performance at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. While Caitlin is the vocalist of the pair, guitarist Kurtis does chip in vocally as well on the occasional song. Judging by their melodic music making together at this Gaia Java performance, it is easy to see why they have quite a reputation in the Carleton Place area for their musical talents.
Caitlin has sung with the Mississippi Mudds, the Uptown Singers vocal ensemble and the Orion Theatre in Perth and is now a member of the Ottawa area a cappella vocal group “Harmonic Generation. Kurtis, for his part, also plays with a band called “Ambrosia Famine� which performs at various venues in the area. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville take place every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, March 14, the Friday music evening at Gaia Java will feature a myriad of guitar stylings as Dan Tarof’s guitar class delivers a recital.

The Dare to Dream bursary program is an important program in which the Foundation offers its support. This Program provides funds to young adults who are in care, or were formerly in the care of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, to assist with their postsecondary education tuition. The bursary program provides young adults the opportunity to pursue their life goals. At the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa, we believe that a lack of funds should not stand in the way of educational aspirations for young adults who have already faced far too many obstacles. Help make a difference. Visit www.cafott.ca and click DONATE NOW. Make a one-time donation, or become a monthly donor. Either way, your donation will make a difference that will last a lifetime.

Upper Jock River Race still afloat Your chance to ‘Leap Into Spring’ Special to the News
News - Canoes and kayaks will be racing down the Jock River again this spring, continuing an annual tradition going back to 1996. It had been announced recently that the 2014 Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race was cancelled for this year but this was quickly overturned when Gaetan Plourde and Ian Mockett came forward to help with the organization of the event. This has meant that the annual race will take place after all. Saturday, April 12 has been set as the date for this year’s Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race. Gaetan Plourde and Ian Mockett are no strangers to paddling races as this year they are also organizing a first-ever Kingston to Ottawa 200 kilometer paddling race following the Rideau Canal that includes 22 portages and must be completed within 32 hours. It will be taking place on Saturday, Aug. 16 and Sunday, Aug. 17. The Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race normally attracts anywhere between 80 and
140 canoes and kayaks. Sponsorship of the race was done by the former township of Goulbourn until municipal amalgamation in 2000. The new city of Ottawa continued sponsorship until 2003 when a group of volunteers took over organization of the race. The 12.6 kilometer long race starts on the Jock River at the Munster Road south of Franktown Road. From the start line, there is a shallow rapid a few minutes downstream, followed by a chute of fast water. The river then flows through open fields and farmland for several kilometers before several sharp bends signal the beginning of the Richmond Fen wetland through which the river runs. When paddlers see a railway line on the south side of the river, it means the end of the Richmond Fen, with the river widening out considerably. This is followed by a long set of rapids followed by another set of rapids before the finish line at the Jock River Park in Richmond comes into sight. The website about the Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race can be found at www.jockriverrace.ca/.

Hear about 1942 train wreck at Almonte John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - It happened over 70 years ago but it remains as one of the worst passenger train wrecks in Canadian history, with over 30 people killed and over 150 injured. And you will be able to find out more about this 1942 train wreck at Almonte at a meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society this Saturday, March 15 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Everyone is welcome to attend to hear about this in-
famous train wreck involving a passenger train and a troop train, with the presentation being made by Sarah Chisolm, curator of the North Lanark Regional Museum. The crash occurred at the Almonte railway station on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line and while the troop train was going to Montreal via Smiths Falls and Winchester, the passenger train was heading to Ottawa and would no doubt have travelled along the CPR line through Stittsville had the accident not happened. The train wreck happened
when a passenger train consisting of ten wooden passenger cars was heading east toward Ottawa, having started in Petawawa. The train was crowded as a result of holiday traffic since it happened on Dec. 27, two days after Christmas, the weather and general wartime conditions and had consistently lost time at each station stop along the route. To further complicate things, besides being dark, there was a rain and sleet storm happening at the time leading up to the wreck. Following this train was a
13 car troop train from Western Canada, bound for Montreal. While the crew of the passenger train stopped at the Almonte station was unaware of the following troop train, the troop train was aware of the passenger train preceding it on the route as it had been held at both the Renfrew and Arnprior stations to maintain a required 20 minute gap between the two trains. But the fllowing troop train was closing on the passenger train, arriving at the Arnprior station only eight minutes behind the preceding passenger
train. The passenger train was still stopped at the Almonte station when the troop train ran into the rear of the passenger train. At 8:38 p.m., the troop train engine struck the passenger train, slamming into the last passenger car and going midway through the second last passenger car before stopping. Both of these last passenger cars were destroyed as the older wooden coaches were no match for the heavy engine, 13 steel cars and caboose of the troop train.
A massive rescue operation ensued, first by local residents in Almonte and by military personnel from the troop train. Then doctors and nurses and medical people from area communities arrived. One of the tragedies of the wreck was that the conductor of the troop train took his own life by drowning as he could not bear taking any blame for the disaster. He was just nine months short of retirement and had never been involved in an accident of any kind in 40 years of service with the railway.

News - It’s part of Irish folklore, namely a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It has become a part of St. Patrick’s Day lore and symbolism and so that’s why you just might see a rainbow complete with an elusive pot of gold at this Saturday’s “Shamrock’n 2014” celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in Richmond. You will not see the rainbow and pot of gold during the celebrations in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds that will include afternoon and evening entertainment, the famous Bacon-on-a-Bun served by the Richmond District Lions Club and refreshments courtesy of Molson’s but when the event-ending fireworks happen at 9:30 p.m., watch for the appearance of a rainbow, complete with a pot of gold. The fireworks will have a definite St. Patrick’s theme to them. Watch for the green! But watch especially for this rainbow cascade of fireworks, topped off with a golden geyser – the pot of gold! It’s something that you do not want to miss! Indeed, even without the lure of seeing a rainbow with a pot of gold light up the sky, you will want to witness this fireworks show as it is the only St. Patrick’s Day fireworks display in the whole city of Ottawa. But you will also want to attend the “Shamrock’n 2014” activities earlier in the day taking place in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. Co-hosted by the Richmond District Lions Club and the Richmond Agricultural Society, these activities will run from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. this Saturday, March 15. The Dining Hall will be adorned with numerous St. Patrick’s Day decorations – shamrocks, leprechauns and more. You will feel Irish, whether you are or not! Throughout the afternoon and evening, you will be able to enjoy the Bacon-on-a-Bun for which the Richmond District Lions Club has become renowned, having served it for years
at the annual Richmond Fair. You can’t get this gourmet treat at any fast food restaurant, that’s for sure! You will also be able to enjoy a favourite Molson’s beverage, all while enjoying the entertainment. There will be a band performing in the afternoon with a second band taking over in the evening. Both bands will be joined by renowned fiddler Robbie Dagenais – what a treat and what a way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! For those who want to commemorate “Shamrock’n 2014,” there will be a limited number of commemorative hats on sale. These will be elaborately embroidered hats that will draw attention whenever and wherever you wear it. You might want to consider purchasing one or perhaps buying one as a gift for a special Irish friend. “Shamrock’n 2014” is open to people of all ages. Admission tickets available at the door will cost only $10. Children will be admitted free. Stay for an hour or an afternoon or for the whole event and then make sure that you are there for the windup fireworks at 9:30 p.m. See that rainbow with its pot of gold and the other fireworks that promise to make it a St. Patrick’s Day treat that you will long remember. Rainbows, of course, can be scientifically explained simply as sunlight reflecting off raindrops, with the sunlight breaking up into its different wave lengths of colour. But it is far more fascinating to think of rainbows as something magical, as indeed the Irish have done down through the years. Who wouldn’t want to believe that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and, not only that, but a pot of gold put there by fairies and guarded today by those mischievious leprechauns! It may be legend, it may be folklore but it sure is magically fascinating. And you will be able to see a rainbow and pot of gold hopefully come alive before your very eyes in the darkened sky this Saturday, March 15 when the “Shamrock’n 2014” fireworks take place at the Richmond fairgrounds. You will want to be there!

Richmond advances in Hockeyville competition Special to the News
News - There is was, right on the TV screen on the much-watched Hockey Night in Canada telecast last Saturday – the name “Richmond” among the top eight communities in the “east” bracket of the Kraft Hockeyville 2014 competition. The Richmond community had done it – they had advanced to the second round of this year’s Kraft Hockeyville competition and in so doing was guaranteed at least $25,000 for renovations to the dressing rooms at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre in Richmond. These top communities, 16 in all, eight in the “east” and eight in the “west,” had been chosen by a panel of impartial individuals selected by the competition sponsors. The panel judged each community on the originality of its entry as well as evidence of community spirit and passion for hockey. All other judging in the competition going forward will be via voting. But this is not the end of it – far from it. The announcement on the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast was followed by two days of unlimited online voting to determine which of the eight communities announced on TV would advance to the next round, becoming one of the top two communities in the “east.” This would then guarantee $50,000 in arena upgrades plus more online voting to determine the “east finalist” against a “west” finalist. Being this “east finalist” means $100,000 in arena upgrades and the opportunity to compete with the “west finalist” for the grand prizes in the competition – the opportu-
nity to host a 2014-2015 National Hockey League pre-season game and to experience a visit from the CBC. The results of the online voting that started at 10 p.m. last Saturday and ended last Monday at midnight will be announced on the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast this coming Saturday, March 15. The Richmond community has mobilized around campaign to have Richmond named as Hockeyville 2014. This has resulted not only in numerous stories and submissions leading up to the community’s selection last Saturday in the “top eight” in the “east” but also has seen a number of special events and activities happen, all promoting Richmond as Hockeyville. There was “HockeyFest” at the Creekside Gardens outdoor rink on Saturday, Feb. 8, with the Ottawa Senators Alumni meeting the Ottawa Police squad and the Richmond juvenile team facing off against the coaches. Then there was a pancake breakfast at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall to watch the Olympic gold medal game in men’s hockey which was shown on a hall wall. This was followed up with an impromptu parade through the village, promoting Richmond as Hockeyville, a chilling polar bear dip in the Jock River and then last Saturday a spaghetti dinner at the arena hall. The spaghetti dinner was visited by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and attracted a huge crowd. There was not only great spaghetti, thanks in part to the homemade spaghetti sauce made by the ladies of St. Paul’s
United Church, but also great hoopla as the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast was shown and there was that moment just before 9 p.m. when it was confirmed that Richmond had made it through to the top 16 in Canada and the top 8 in the “east.” Other Richmond is Hockeyville initiatives have seen round hay bales set up at several locations in

the village, proclaiming Richmond as Hockeyville and urging support. These bales have appeared along Perth Street just east of the arena where three bales have been set up around a pickup truck with messages such as “Honk for Hockeyville,” “Richmond is Hockeyville” and a reminder of the now-past voting from March 8-10. There are also similar bales at Royals Restaurant, Tony’s Chip Wagon, at the former Dr. FitzGerald home on McBean Street and at the corner of Hamilton Street and McBean Street. Besides these hay bale placements, numerous signs supporting Richmond as Hockeyville are in evidence around the community – along Huntley Road at the entrance to Richmond Lions Park, along Perth Street at the front of the Richmond Marketplace plaza (King’s Your Independent Grocer), at Bob and Lynn’s Service Centre on Perth Street, in front of the Richmond Memorial Community Centre itself, at Kinkade Konstruction on Perth Street, and at the Richmond fire hall. And these large signs are augmented by numerous smaller signs and posters all throughout the community. The top eight in the “east bracket” of this year’s Kraft Hockeyville 2014 competition include not only Richmond and the Richmond Memorial Community Centre but also the Leo Boivin Community Centre in Prescott, the Beeton Community Memorial Arena in Beeton, the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter, all of which are in Ontario, the Arena du Plateau in Chicoutimi, Quebec, the Credit Union Centre in Kingston, Nova Scotia, the Amherst
Stadium in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and the Bedeque & Area Recreation Centre in Bedeque, P.E.I. The top eight in the “west bracket” of the competition announced on last Saturday’s Hockey Night in Canada broadcast are the Shaw Center in Salmon Arm, B.C., the Marrysville Arena in Marysville, B.C., the Sun Bowl Arena in Osoyoos, B.C., the Medican Multi-plex in Sylvan Lake, B.C., the Bruderheim Hockey Arena in Bruderheim, Alta., the Akinsdale & Kinex Arenas in St. Albert, Alta., the Credit Union iPlex in Swift Current, Sask., and the Arborg & District Arena in Arborg, Manitoba. Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition developed by CBC Sports and sponsored by Kraft Foods, the National Hockey League and the NHL Players’ Association in which communities across Canada can compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of hockey. The competition was first held in 2006. The inaugural winner was Salmon River, Nova Scotia, beating out 450 other entries from across Canada. North Bay was the winner in 2007 while Roberval, Quebec was the 2008 winner. In 2009, the Kraft Hockeyville winning community was Terrace, B.C. while the winner in 2010 was Dundas, Ontario. In 2011, the winner was Conception Bay, Newfoundland while Stirling-Rawdon, Ontario was the winner in 2012. The 2013 competition was cancelled due to the NHL lockout but a pre-season exhibition game was awarded to Belleville, Ontario under the Hockeyville label.

Egyptian focus for World Day of Prayer John Curry

News - Egypt came alive in Richmond last Friday. That’s because this year’s World Day of Prayer worship service called “Streams in the Desert” was prepared by the World Day of
Prayer Committee of Egypt. And at the World Day of Prayer service in Richmond, hosted this year by St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street, the Egyptian genesis of this year’s service was further enhanced by the participation of four women who performed the roles of four women representing Egypt in the service, with clothing or props

Carla Van Delen who is holding an Egyptian flag and portrayed Egyptian young women; Marylou Rose-Thurrott who portrayed a modern Egyptian business woman; Heather Brown who portrayed a rural woman, complete with her water jug; and Lynne Pearen who portrayed an ancient Egyptian woman.
The Sti sville News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!
appropriate to the role. Lynne Pearen was a woman from ancient Egypt while Heather Brown was a rural woman, complete with water jug. Marylou Rose-Thurrott was a modern Egyptian business woman while Rev. Carla Van Delen of St. Paul’s United Church, carrying a small Egyptian flag, was a modern Egyptian youth, fluent in several languages, conversant in the electronic age and an emerging revolutionary. As is traditional, this World Day of Prayer service was an ecumenical endeavour, with representatives from Richmond’s churches taking part. So you had Saundra Vandenberg from St. John’s Anglican Church providing the keyboard music and Rev. Wayne Menard from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church leading some of the readings, as did Deacon Louis Seward from St. Philip’s Catholic Church. Leading the service as announcers, both wearing head scarves, were Ginger Chapleau of St. Paul’s United Church and Edna Monahan of St. John’s Anglican Church. Following the service in the church, a luncheon was held in the church’s downstairs hall. Examples of Egyptian food were available, both on the menu and as one of the dessert items. The World Day of Prayer, on the first Friday in March, was begun by women in Canada and the United States in 1922 and is now observed in more than 170 countries. Almost 2000 communities across Canada held a World Day of Prayer service this year. Each year the World Day of Prayer has a theme and a country which writes the service. In 2015, the World Day of Prayer service will be written by the women of the Bahamas with the theme “Jesus Said To Them: Do You Know What I Have Done To You?” The offerings received at each World Day of Prayer service in Canada, including the one in Richmond, are forwarded to the national office of the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada (WICC). A portion of the proceeds supports the World Day of Prayer international organization, covers the costs of printing and distributing World Day of Prayer resources throughout Canada and supports the ongoing work of the WICC. A portion of the funds donated also goes for World Day of Prayer project grants, both in Canada and throughout the world. Project grants in 2013 went to projects in Africa (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda), Asia (Bangladesh, India and the Philippines), Central and

South America and the Caribbean (El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua), the Middle East (Palestine) and Canada (St. Stephen, N.B., Toronto and Scarborough in Ontario, Pinawa in Manitoba, Leduc in Alberta and Kamloops and Vancouver in British Columbia). The Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada (WICC) began in 1918 when women representing the Anglican, Congregationalist, Methodist and Presbyterian women’s missionary societies met to discuss united prayer and action and a stronger voice in national questions. This led to the first national Day of Prayer in Canada in Jan. 1920, a event which became the world Day of Prayer in 1922. WICC is committed to ecumenism, women’s spiritual growth, social justice and women’s issues. In its committee work, the WICC focuses on anti-racism, poverty and ending violence against women. The WICC has ten church partners: Anglican, Baptist, Evangelical Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Mennonite, Presbyterian, Religious Society of Friends, The Salvation Army, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church. Other church groups do participate in the World Day of Prayer services as well. The World Day of Prayer Committee of Egypt prepared this year’s World Day of Prayer worship service. Christianity arrived early in Egypt, brought by St. Mark the Evangelist who is regarded as the first patriarch of Alexandria. The Egyptian Church, including Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant, has flourished ever since with millions of adherents. Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is the largest city in Africa with over 16 million inhabitants. United Nations figures set the total population of Egypt as over 84.5 million people. The majority is Muslim but about 12 percent of the population is Christian. Most of the country’s population lives in the area of fertile land along the Nile River. The second longest river in the world, the Nile flows through the Sahara which is the largest desert in the world. Almost all of Egypt’s water comes from the Nile. Two recognized emblems of ancient Egypt are the Ankh or Key of Life and the white Lotus Flower. The Ankh was the hieroglyphic character meaning life and Pharaohs were often portrayed carrying it. The white Lotus Flower, symbolizing purity, was often a hair ornament in the attire of ancient Egyptian women.

Richmond District Lions Club now 50 years old John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Richmond District Lions Club turns 50 in 2014. The Club received its charter in 1964, beginning its years of service, work, fun and fellowship in the Richmond community. The Richmond District Club began in 1964 as a result of the effort of the Ottawa West Lions Club and specifically the work of Lions Lee Rickey and Fred Chapman in planting the seeds of Lionism in outlying communities like Richmond and Stittsville. Indeed, both communities saw their local Lions Clubs chartered in the same year of 1964. But these seeds of Lionism could only sprout and grow by finding fertile â&#x20AC;&#x153;soilâ&#x20AC;? in which to flourish, and this was certainly the case in Richmond where 37 charter members signed up and started the Lions Legacy of Community work and service, a legacy which has continued over the past four decades with a vigour and effort that has seen Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lions involved in many community Initiatives and projects. Men such as Vince McDonald, Bill Evans, Jack Duffy, Everett Rea and Ken Marshall saw the benefits of having a Lions Club in the community, and became stalwarts of the Club, setting it on its course to become a respected and contributing organization in Richmond and area. Dr. Ken Hartin, a Richmond area native and respected veterinarian, became the charter president. Dr. Hartin is still a Lions Club member.
Dr. Hartin proved to be a good choice as the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter president, not only because he epitomized the Lions philosophy of caring and sharing in the community, but also because he had earlier in his life experienced the work of Lionism and, in fact, owed his career as a veterinarian to the support and help of Lions. Following the Second World War, Dr. Hartin wanted to go to veterinary college in Guelph but he had been turned down. It was through the efforts of Lions Club members from Ottawa that he was later admitted to the program. Lions involvement in his veterinarian education also took the form of a scholarship, assistance that Dr. Hartin readily admits was key in his being able to attend veterinary college. So, it was not surprising that Lionism found a ready and willing advocate in the Richmond community in Dr. Hartin. It also helped that Lion Lee Rickey of the West Ottawa Lions Club was also known to Dr. Hartin, as Dr. Hartinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother on the Hartinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richmond area farm used to deal with Mr. Rickey who operated a butcher shop in the Westboro area. Dr. Hartin remembers attending organizing meetings at the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church hall with enthusiastic future Lions like Ken Marshall, Bill Evans and Vince McDonald. Looking back now on these beginnings of the Lions Club, Dr. Hartin sees that the fledging Lions Club helped the Richmond community come together, with members from all walks of life and all seg-
ments of the community working together for the good of the overall village and area. The fact that the charter group included clergy from three Richmond churches shows the non-denominational and widespread community focus of the Richmond Lions Club, as is expected of Lionism everywhere. It was in April, 1964, that the Richmond District Club held its gala charter night, formally creating the Club that would become the backbone of much of the community work in Richmond over the next five decades. The West Ottawa Lions Club was the new clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal sponsor. Serving on the inaugural executive with Dr. Hartin, the president, were Ken Marshall as first vice-president, Vince McDonald as second vicepresident, Lorne McClintock as treasurer and Walter Reid as secretary. The 37 charter members of the Richmond District Lions Club were Bob Adams, Jack Chanonhouse, Joe Dallaire, Justin Dervin, Jack Duffy, George Eadie, Bill Evans, Rev. T. Farrell, Edgar Gamgle, Ken Hartin, Wally Johnston, Arnold Kittle, Tony Koritsaris, Maurice Lavoie, Rev. W. H. LeGrow, Archie MacDougall, Lorne McClintock, Vince McDonald, Ken Marshall, R.H. Moore, Ken Moore, Rev. A. J. Poole, Walter Reid, Everett Rea, Bill Salter, Norm Seabrooke, Bill Smith, Bert Spratt, Aubrey Taylor, Ben Zegger, Al Dawson, Mancel Daly, Emmerson Hodgins, Jerry Hughes, Ernie Saumur, Duncan St. John and Harold Whaley. And with the charter of the Club began 50 years of Lions projects,
fundraising and work in the community, all done while also providing a forum where members would be respected for their views, where members would work hard together for the betterment of the community and where members would not forget that fun and fellowship have a role to play in Lionism, alongside serving the community and meeting its needs. And what a run it has been, with the Lions Club involved in major projects such as the creation of a major recreation area now called the Richmond Lions Community Park, to giving funding donations to other community organizations, to raising funds through a variety of ways, from selling chocolate Easter bunnies to trip draws, to taking part in events such as the Richmond Fair Parade to just having some plain good old fun, like putting on skits at its meetings. The Club has given numerous donations such as to the Kemptville Hospital for equipment; to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital to furnish rooms; and a $1,000 donation in 1976 to help with the construction and furnishing of the new Richmond library. Over the years, the Richmond District Lions Club has held regular dinner meetings, with a great variety of guest speakers who have told the Lions about such diverse topics as heart pacemakers, population growth, rabies, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heritage, Africa, child discipline, real estate and Alcoholics Anonymous, among others..
The Lions Club did use the Richmond Memorial Community Centre for its regular dinner meetings, but in September 1973, the site for these dinner meetings was switched to the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church hall in Richmond. The Richmond District Lions Club became involved with the annual Lions Christmas Cheer Broadcast on radio station CFRA right from the start, as it was a project of the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsoring club, the West Ottawa Lions Club. This dedication to helping the less fortunate at Christmas time continues today, not through the broadcast which has been discontinued but through a communitybased initiative in which the Lions canvass business and residents for donations by letter, as well as doing its own fundraising with such initiatives as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Care For A Causeâ&#x20AC;?, in which the club collects beer empties in conjunction with the LCBO in Richmond, with the proceeds going to cover mailing and printing costs related to this fundraising initiative. For the last 15 years, the funds raised go to the Richmond Food Bank for its work in helping the less fortunate in the Richmond and area community. For many years, the Richmond Lions members themselves delivered Christmas food hampers to the less fortunate around Richmond. Through such personal contact, Lions members were able to see for themselves just how appreciated and needed their Christmas Cheer efforts were.

Lions work for betterment of Richmond community Continued from page 41
The Richmond Lions Community Park in Richmond bears the Richmond Lions name because it was the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major ďŹ nancial commitment to this park that really provided the spark that made the park a reality. From about 1967 for about 12 years, the Richmond District Lions Club had tried to do something about the lack of recreation facilities in Richmond, speciďŹ cally a swimming pool, and had got nowhere, except for raising a considerable amount of money. Initially, under the instigation of Lion Bill Evans and others, the Club had raised funds through walkathons and other means to help ďŹ nance a swimming pool at South Carleton High School. When this idea was rejected by the school board, the Lions Club found itself with funds but still no recreation facilities in the community. In January, 1979, the Richmond District Lions Club made the offer to Goulbourn township that the Club would donate $25,000 to he used in the construction of recreation facilities in Richmond, mainly at a central recreation area that the township was considering purchasing. One reason for doing this was that the municipality could leverage such funds for additional Wintario grants, something which was not open to do for the Club itself. The township proceeded to purchase the 20 acres of what is now the Richmond Lions Community Park for $90,000, using funds from the Richmond lot fee account, with the Lions funds used to develop facilities on the lands. It was subsequently decided that the most ďŹ tting name for the new recreation area in Richmond would be the Richmond Lions Community Park. The Richmond District Lions Club has brought the community numerous nights of entertainment by holding some of the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most remembered social events. Over the years, the Club has held New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve dances, beach parties and of course the Big Bash dances which for years were â&#x20AC;&#x153;theâ&#x20AC;? major social event of the year in Richmond.
Held on the ice slab at the Richmond arena in June, starting in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and running into the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the Big Bash not only was a major fundraising event for the Club, with an elimination cash draw as part of the evening, but also was a gala social event, with a dance, entertainment and a dinner. It was an event big enough that virtually anyone in the village who wanted to attend was able to do so. This event was also good for the club in that it built camaraderie and fellowship. Chairs and tables had to be obtained and set up and taken down, decorations had to be put up, the bar had to be tended through the evening, tickets had to be sold for the elimination draw and so on. Lots of work had to be done and many willing Lions hands chipped in to do it. The Lions are a regular entry in the annual Richmond Fair parade, always making it an enjoyable event as they made their way along the parade route. There was the yellow worm costume and then a voyageur canoe, among other ways that the Lions draw attention in this parade. For over two decades, the Lions sold their renowned â&#x20AC;&#x153;bacon on a bunâ&#x20AC;? at the annual Richmond Fair. In 1981, the club purchased an eight foot by 15 foot trailer to use for preparing and serving this â&#x20AC;&#x153;bacon on a bunâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bacon on a busâ&#x20AC;? made a comeback in 2013 at a new St. Ptrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebration held in partnership with the Richmond Agricultural Society. This event has been expanded this year to include a ďŹ reworks display. It was the Richmond District Lions Club which began the Richmond Santa Claus Parade 15 years ago, organizing it for three years before the Richmond Village Association took over the paradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization. The Richmond District Lions Club has been visible and working in the community over the years. A sampling of some of the varied activities and projects which the Lions Club has done over the years is as follows: * Hosting a ďŹ remenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciation night dinner; * Providing ďŹ nancial help to groups as diverse as the Girl Guides and Brownies, the Richmond Skating Club, the Richmond Refugee Committee, the Richmond Junior B Royals and the Richmond Curling Club; * Helping support special events such as the Terry Kerr Night in 1981 when the community rallied being Terry Kerr who had been injured in an accident;. * Providing the newly

Through all of this community work over more than 40 years, the Lions Club members have not only enjoyed working hard but have also had the opportunity to use their talents to help their community. The community, in turn, has been very supportive of the Richmond District Lions Club over the years which has been a key ingredient in allowing the Lions Club fulďŹ l its mandate of helping meet the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.

Lions give $5,500 to Food Bank Serving the community Continued from page 42
John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Richmond District Lions Club has given $5,500 to the Richmond Food Bank. These funds were raised by the Lions Club through its Christmas Cheer program that saw letters seeking donations go to area businesses and residents. Funds raised by â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Case For a Causeâ&#x20AC;? accepting empties at the beer store were used as seed money to ďŹ nance the letter writing campaign. This is the 15th consecutive year that the Richmond District Lions Club has undertaken this Christmas Cheer program. Richmond District Lions Club members Bill Reid and Gerry Moore were on hand at a meeting of the Richmond Food Bank on Thursday, March 6 to formally present a giant cheque representing the $5,500 donation to the Food Bank. The Richmond Food Bank was established in 1985. Operating out of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on McBean
Street in Richmond, this community-run food bank helps families in Richmond and surrounding areas who require food assistance. The Richmond Food Bank operates year around but its services are provided by appointment only. There are no restrictions on eligibility for those living within the Food Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service boundaries of Richmond, Munster, Ashton, FallowďŹ eld and North Gower. To apply for Food Bank services, please leave a message on its answering machine at 613-838-5397, ext. 3. Food Bank volunteers will return the call to make an appointment for your visit to the Food Bank. There is no charge for Food Bank services. The Richmond Food Bank exists thanks to donations from individuals and businesses as well as from organizations like the Richmond District Lions Club. Donations of food items can be made by delivering them to St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church after phoning ahead to make arrangements or by dropping them off at Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond during regular business hours.
For the Lions Club itself, Lionism has become an integral part of the lives of many members. There is not only the long commitment of members such as Dr. Hartin but also the commitment of a family such as the Moore family. Harold Moore and Ken Moore were both charter members, a family tradition that is now being carried on by Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Gerry Moore. So, one thing is obvious - the Richmond community is and has been a far better place in which to live, thanks to the work and efforts of the Richmond District Lions Club over the past ďŹ ve decades. The Lions have been serving their
community and are continuing to do so as the Club continues with its community work in Richmond and area. Membership, though, has been a challenge in recent years as with all service organizations , although the Club has attracted several new members recently. Rosemary Brummell, who is no longer a member, became the ďŹ rst woman to join the Richmnd District Lions Club. Although women are now welcomed as members, no other women have joined to date. The Richmond District Lions Club is always open to new members who want to help their community while enjoying the fellowship and comradeship of the other members of the Club.

News - Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all waiting for the arrival of spring. And if you want to experience some spring-like feelings as winter slowly turns to spring outside, then you should visit the new exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation appropriately entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakening.â&#x20AC;? Following on the heels of the previous exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silent Slumberâ&#x20AC;? which featured a blizzard of winter scenes, this new â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? exhibition provides some glimpses of spring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some early ones like Mark Graszaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sugarbush near Ottawaâ&#x20AC;? oil painting that shows a sugar shanty, trees with sap buckets on them, a sleigh filled with people and other activity in this early spring sugar bush and others later in spring, like Kat McClureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Promise of Springâ&#x20AC;? featuring an impressionistic view of a bed of tulips with its pinks, oranges and yellows. There is also Louise Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Stirrings,â&#x20AC;? an oil painting with a trillium plant blooming at the foot of a pair of trees, an early sign of spring in the forest. And still with trees, albeit in another setting altogether, is Patrick Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil painting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apple Trees at the Experimental Farm,â&#x20AC;? showing a line of

trees in blossom. Alain Bernard has captured the unveiling of spring in his acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reveil du Printempsâ&#x20AC;? showing a rock-stewn watercourse rippling past a forested slope with its evaporating snow cover, flowing out of a hilly background. Josef Pittnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph of an inukshuk sitting on a rock and featured off-centre in the photo can be found under the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Solitude.â&#x20AC;? An inukshuk is a stone landmark or cairn build by the Inuit or other peoples of the Arctic. Josie Braden has turned to tulips in her acrylic simply called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tulips,â&#x20AC;? depicting cut tulips poking out of a vase. The pastel-like yellows, greens and light reds give the scene a light, airy feel, just like the feeling on a spring-like day. And staying with flowers but displaying a unique perspective is the work of Vera van Baaren, an acrylic and mixed media painting entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Germinating.â&#x20AC;? Long and narrow, it shows the view of a bulb underground, complete with its roots, giving birth to a flower bud above ground. The grass and various layers of soil between the bulbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots and the above-ground flower are all portrayed in differing colours. Vera says that she did this painting specifically with this owaa gallery exhibition and its title â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? in mind.
It is also the first time that she has done such a tall and narrow painting. A floral spectacle featuring reds, yellows and blues, a veritable splash of colour, can be found in Trudy Daleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil and mixed media work â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flower Rhapsodyâ&#x20AC;? in this new exhibition. A large painting, it depicts numerous floral blooms in various colours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What a visual treat for the viewer! Staying with flowers, John Edkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; photograph entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hostaâ&#x20AC;? is macro-photography at its best. This black and white photo has captured an army of water droplets on the leaf of a hosta plant. Not flowers but nature can be found in Anda Cosmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil painting called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solitude,â&#x20AC;? showing a solo evergreen tree amid a red and yellow background, presumably the changing leaf colours of the surrounding autumn forest. Nature in a similar form can be found in Inge Whelanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Windblown,â&#x20AC;? featuring a trio of trees in a setting right out of the Group of Seven play book. This tall, narrow painting shows three trees on an outcropping of land surrounded by water. Nature of a different form is shown in Beverly Lafortuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black and white photograph called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sun Streaksâ&#x20AC;? giving an almost silhouetted view of a farmstead with its barns, silo and farmhouse, all under a sky
of clouds pierced by light. Sylvie Sabourinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serenityâ&#x20AC;? features a setting sun in a sky filled with wispy clouds filtering through a stand of trees. And animals are part of nature, as depicted by J.B. Malmbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Flightâ&#x20AC;? photograph showing a owl flying solo in the top right corner of the work with the remainder of the photo a white canvas. And while the annual Richmond Fair is a fall rather than spring event, Gordon Chapmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colour photograph of a team of four heavy horses pounding down on the camera, with the drivers in the background, shows the power of this most majestic of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creations. While not an animal but an insect, Sheila Turner Whalenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiderweb,â&#x20AC;? a large acrylic painting, shows an intricate spider web with a spider lurking in it. Nature has many forms. And what would an owaa gallery exhibition be without at least one automobile photograph, especially since Joe Aragona, who specializes in such photography, is a member. This exhibition does not disappoint in this regard as there is not one but two automobile photographs, both with the same theme of a decaying, rusting, abandoned vehicle. See NEW EXHIBITION, page 45

Joe Aragonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forgotten â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69 Rivieraâ&#x20AC;? photograph has the rusted two door vehicle sitting among foliage and long grass, with another vehicle partially evident in the background. Patrick Bourkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time Servedâ&#x20AC;? is a similar view of a derelict vehicle, this time an old rusted pickup truck that is sitting not in long grass and foliage but surrounded by snow, with sloping sunshine illuminating the scene. You get the impression that spring is on the way and soon the snow around the vehicle will be long grass, just like in Joe Aragonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo. As with all exhibitions at the owaa gallery, this exhibition has a number of works on display that are visual masterpieces that challenge the imagination. Sonia Tavaresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Box,â&#x20AC;? a large painting, features a couple of facial vignettes as well as one of an arm and a hand. It is populated with circles and squares with red and black vertical lines on a white background. It deserves to be seen! A similar painting, also an acrylic, this one a large work done by Soraya Silvestri (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ziziâ&#x20AC;?), features three linked circles. Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Connected,â&#x20AC;? green predominates in the painting. The unique style of Michael Goguen is on display again in this exhibition, as his oil painting â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Old Castleâ&#x20AC;? shows a castle on a rocky hillside, with a tiger in the foreground and another animal, perhaps a cheetah, on a rocky outcropping. A Saturn-like shape is in the sky, reminiscent of other work done by Michael. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eye of Isis,â&#x20AC;? a multi-media work by Aud Krin Sund, has a predominant eye looking out of the painting at the viewer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a painting that needs to be seen to be appreciated. The title of Salena Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buoy Retirementâ&#x20AC;? tells the story of the painting. It depicts four presumably now â&#x20AC;&#x153;retiredâ&#x20AC;? buoys strung across the side of a building near a six-pane window. Stephen Harrison is a regular exhibitor in these owaa gallery exhibitions and this one is no different. His photograph â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death Aquaticâ&#x20AC;?, done in his identifying dye-infused aluminum process that makes the photograph shine, even when it is black and white like this one, has an array of vertical lines and features fish shapes. Hence, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aquaticâ&#x20AC;? in the photographâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title. This latest exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? will be at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville through to Friday, May 2. Those who do view the exhibition at some point during its run at the gallery are urged to fill out a ballot in the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice voting which takes place for every exhibition at the owaa gallery. Just fill out a ballot indicating which piece of art is your favourite in the exhibition and drop the ballot into the box on the display case at the gallery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy and the artists really enjoying learning the results after each exhibition. Some of the works of art in this exhibition are also for sale. Price and artist contact information are on a card with each work of art on display.
News - Gerald Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic depiction of a sea of waves coldly pounding a rocky, snowy sea shore with a giant rock at centre stage grabbed peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention in the exhibition called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silent Slumberâ&#x20AC;? at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the lobby area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. The exhibition, which began in January, ended last Friday, saw Gerald Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil on panel painting called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cold Atlanticâ&#x20AC;? place first in the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice balloting for the show, gaining the most number of ballots in the voting by viewers of the exhibition who participated in the balloting. Second place in this Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice balloting emerged as a tie involving a photograph by John Edkins called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silent Slumber,â&#x20AC;? the same name as the overall exhibition, and Sonia Tavaresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interlaced.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Edkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; photo is filled with the trunks of trees, all standing in snow with their
shadows stretching out across the snow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interlacedâ&#x20AC;? by Sonia Tavares is a treat for the imagination, featuring various geometric shapes and forms which were interwoven, with purple and green as the predominant but not only colours. It was a viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delight as was shown by its high placing in the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice balloting. Third place in the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice balloting for this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silent Slumberâ&#x20AC;? exhibition involved three artists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kat McClure, Trudy Daley and Louise Barker. Kat McClureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed media work â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm on the Horizonâ&#x20AC;? is largely sky, with a strip of land at its base. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the viewer but it could be a wheat field on the prairies topped with that areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned high sky. Trudy Daleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil painting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter in Gatineau parkâ&#x20AC;? was one of the pieces in the exhibition that features nature in wintertime. It features a snow-covered scene with trees and a wooden rail fence running across its foreground. It is a typical Canadian scene. Snow and trees prevailed in Louise Barkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Endâ&#x20AC;? painting featuring evergreens with snow covered branches in a

Archway of hockey sticks - girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey, that is John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a red carpet but it was something better, considering that the walkway was leading into the first-ever International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Celebration to be held in Stittsville. Those arriving at the event at the Bistro 54 restaurant at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club in Stittsville on Thursday evening, March 6 were greeted by an archway of hockey sticks
held by players of the Goulbourn Rockets of the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association. They passed through this archway as they made their way up the walkway to the restaurant, having got a first but certainly not last taste of this celebration of women and their achievements. Just inside the front door of the restaurant were three costumed â&#x20AC;&#x153;suffragettesâ&#x20AC;? courtesy of the Goulbourn Museum, holding signs from that long-ago fight advocating the vote for women and handing out a flyer outlining

significant dates in the struggle of women for equality and rights, appropriately named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way, baby.â&#x20AC;? At the event, the 150 or so attendees were not only served finger foods by celebrity (and male) servers wearing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stittsvlleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Day 2014â&#x20AC;? aprons but also heard and saw a variety of speakers and performers telling their stories, either verbally or through drama or through song or even poetry. Celebrity servers included city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, city councillors Eli ElChantiry and Shad Qadri, Ottawa fire chief John DeHooge, West Ottawa Board of Trade Citizen of the Year and Stittsville Scouter Kevin Chappell, Stittsville Sobeys owner Tim LaPlante, Stittsville News journalist John Brummell, Goulbourn Male Chorus and West Ottawa Ladies Chorus music director Robert Dueck, Stittsville Rotary Club member Wes Zacharuk and more. Suzanne Pinel, a member of the Order of Canada, a renowned childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainer and a citizenship judge, told about some of the women who inspired her, starting with Charlotte Whitton whom her father brought to their home one day through all those whom she had met performing or as a citizenship judge, all of whom taught her how fortunate women are to live in a country like Canada. She told about her daughter whom she called â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally inspiring,â&#x20AC;? being born with a heart defect and needing a heart transplant but who has inspired her to try to make a difference. A Cumberland area resident, she remarked on the spirit and energy being shown at this International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Celebration in Stittsville, suggesting that such spirit might get her thinking about a possible move to Stittsville. Guest speaker Michelle Valberg, a celebrated photographer and former Ottawa Businesswoman of the Year, told about her experiences in the North, culminating not only in her stunning coffee table book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arctic Kaleidoscope â&#x20AC;ŚThe People, Wildlife and Ever-Changing Landscapeâ&#x20AC;? which is filled with images of the grandeur of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North but also in founding Project North, a not-for-profit charity that by the end of this year will have provided over
$500,000 worth of new hockey equipment to various northern communities. She told her audience that she has always wanted her work to make a difference while also giving back to her community. Speaker Victoria Westbrook-Nogueira, a 20 year old Carleton University student and graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School, praised the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies courses that she has taken at university, saying that the courses have taught her about the women in history who have paved the way for the rights enjoyed by women today. This means that she has a lot of opportunities to pursue fields not explored by women of the past, providing her with infinite possibilities while setting her goals as a young woman in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society. Five Sacred Heart Catholic High School female students presented a dramatic presentation in which each one took on the role of a woman who has been an inspiration to them and, at the end of the presentation, explained what inspired them about the woman portrayed. The students were Evelyn Pageau, Morgan Pitson, Zoe Landry, Alison MacLeod and Krista Weatherall. Singer Marie Tsoukanas performed on a couple of occasions during the evening, singing audience energizing songs like Helen Reddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1972 hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am Woman,â&#x20AC;? which went on to become an anthem for feminism and a celebration of female empowerment. It is a song which has not lost this feminist appeal, judging by the positive reaction to it at this International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day event, as the song sparked an impromptu performance by a group of backup dancers who emerged from the audience as the song began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ladies rock. I knew before but now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure,â&#x20AC;? Marie commented at the conclusion of the song. Carolyn Frost, a Stittsville Pathfinder who is a community volunteer as well, recited a poem about being the best that you can be. Another poem was read by Stittsville residents Barbara Bottriell and Valerie Wright. See INTERNATIONAL, page 47

International Women’s Day Celebration in Stittsville Continued from page 46
Called “Bread and Roses,” they were backed up by a group of Pathfinders who stomped poles that they were holding when the refrain “As we come marching” was read out. The event also saw the presentation of an award recognizing a distinguished female leader in the Ottawa community as chosen by peers. The Peer Award went to Katerina Mertikas, a wife and teacher who empowers young females and is also one of Canada’s most successful artists. Others nominated for the award included Stephanie Brown, Lise Hamilton-Carriere, Carolyn Clark, Linda Fitzpatrick, Ida-Jane Graham, Kari Hummer, Moira Hutchison, Cathy Lumsden, Linda Morin, Allison Newson, Tammy Plunkett and Jacqueline Richards. Angie Poirier, a Magic 100 Morning radio host, served as the MC for the evening. The event was organized by Theresa Qadri of Stittsville along with the Ottawa Stittsville Women’s International Committee and Distinctive Women Magazine. Proceeds from the event are going to the Women for Mental Health program of the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. Some of these funds were raised by tips gathered by some of the celebrity servers. Council-
lor El-Chantiry collected $150 in tips while mayor Watson collected $31.80 and fire chief DeHooge collected $41.50. Later in the evening, Ottawa Fire Service firefighters from Stittsville distributed roses to all those present. Other special touches throughout the evening included 200 cupcakes featuring the International Women’s Day logo on them and pottery medallions celebrating International Women’s Day which were distributed. Hanging in the main area at Bistro 54 was a banner celebrating International Women’s Day which had been specially made for the occasion by the youngsters at the Jackson Trails School Age Program at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville. A side room at the event, a so-called “Pampering Room,” featured a display of snack foods such as popcorn, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cocoa chips, hemp seeds and even dried tart cherries, with samples provided for all of them. In addition, Moore Massage Therapy provided two massage chairs so ladies could sample a massage and “The Henna Lady” was on hand to provide examples of various artistic mehndi. Mehndi or henna is a ceremonial art form applied to the body which originated in ancient India.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Goodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on. Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivolities,” we were told. And just as often were we told, “Eat every last scrap on your plate. If you don’t, you’re taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian.” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure they lived in Arnprior. Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. Yet we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 1930’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside, rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house. Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. Had I stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly -- in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping table-

Despite Depression, lots of treats
spoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night, of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outhouse. Audrey called it “our winter clean out,” but to me, it was a treat. Then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “Who would like a piece of oven toast?” we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven. The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. There wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast.
There always seemed to be lots of homemade bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat. And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, moving the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugar-filled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy. Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill. When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my finger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the finger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in their own activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold. Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow,” a special treat on a Saturday night or Sunday af-
Friendship Club luncheon on March 26th Special to the News News – The next monthly luncheon of the Friendship Club will take place on Wednesday, March 26 at 12 noon at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary
of the Legion, the luncheon will cost $15 per person as usual. The menu will include ham and scalloped potatoes. Entertainment at the luncheon will be provided by Jeanette Hamilton. Those planning to attend should contact Rosemary at 613-836-6354

ternoon. Mother of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house. Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother brought in on the big roast pan. The hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, left to harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store. I shared a special treat with Audrey that no one else in the family seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dug-out cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy. Even my brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits. Those long-ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

FOOD & NEWS Sponge cake with carmelized apples makes great finish to an Irish meal Foodland Ontario
Lifestyle - This simple dessert makes a beautiful finish to a delicious Irish meal. Preparation time: 35 minutes. Baking time: 30 minutes. Serves eight. Ingredients Cake * 4 eggs, separated * 175 ml (3/4 cup) granulated sugar * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) cream of tartar * 175 ml (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour * 25 ml (2 tbsp) pure apple butter Honey-Glazed Apples * 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter * 4 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced * 125 ml (1/2 cup) liquid honey * 125 ml (1/2 cup) pure apple butter Preparation instructions Cake: In a large bowl, beat egg yolks using an electric mixer on high speed for two minutes. Add 90 ml (6 tbsp) of the sugar, 15 ml (1 tbsp) at a time, beating until thick, creamy and pale yellow -- about five to seven minutes. Set the mixture aside. In a glass or metal bowl, with clean beaters, beat the egg whites until foamy, then beat in the cream of tartar until the mix-
ture is frothy. Add the remaining sugar, 15 ml (1 tbsp) at a time, beating until stiff peaks form -about three to five minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the yolks. Gently fold in the flour until no streaks remain. Spoon in the apple butter and gently fold it into the mixture. Spoon the mixture into a 23centimetre (9-inch) tube pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Bake in centre of 160 C (325 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean. When it’s done, turn the pan upside down and let hang on legs attached to pan, or on a bottle, until it’s completely cooled. Remove from the pan. Honey-glazed apples: In large skillet on medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for two minutes. Stir in the honey to coat the apples and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for three to five minutes or until apples are slightly softened and glazed. (If you prefer softer apples, cook for three to five minutes longer). Pour the apples into a heat-proof dish, cover and set aside for up to 4 hours. Cut the cake into eight equal slices and spoon the honeyglazed apples over each slice. Top each with 15 ml (one tbsp) of apple butter.

Richmond Suggestions wanted Legion happenings and events Special to the News
17th century, with the day commemorating St. Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland as well as the culture of the Irish in general. It is widely celebrated around the world today. St. Patrick went to Ireland in 432 to bring Christianity to the then-pagan Irish. One of his teaching methods, apparently, including using the shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish. The three-leaved shamrock is today the best known symbol associated with St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Also associated with St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and the Irish in general is the colour green, with green shamrocks in celebration of St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day being worn as early as the 17th century. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wearing of the greenâ&#x20AC;? usually refers to wearing a shamrock on clothing on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. The celebration of St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day has even reached outer space. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield took photographs of Ireland from earth orbit and a picture of himself wearing green clothing in the space station and posted the images online on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day last year. He also posted online a recording of himself singing the Irish tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danny Boyâ&#x20AC;? in space.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Valentine Dance on Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Richmond Legion Hall did not attract huge numbers but those who attended enjoyed a great evening of dining and dancing. The Richmond Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Fling returns on Saturday, April 26 with Doug and Pam Champagne providing the music. This is one event that you will not want to miss! The Royal Canadian Legion is publishing a Military Service Recognition Book in which the Legion wants to gather stories of past and present veterans as well as those of police officers and firefighters who assisted in military endeavours. The book will hopefully serve as a reminder to future generations of the contributions that these veterans and others have made. Each Legion branch has been asked to gather these stories and submit them to Ontario Command by May of this year. Each entry will include a short biography of the person (150 words) and can also include a picture. The pictures must be originals and of very good quality. Electronic submissions will not be accepted. Submission forms are available on the Ontario Command website. The Richmond Legion is taking part in the project and you can contact Brian Goss at 613-838-4269 for more information. The goal is to get the stories together by Thursday, April 10 so that they can be hand delivered to those involved in the project at the Royal Canadian Legion convention that is being held in April. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners in the recent Remembrance Day poster, essay and poetry contest held by the Richmond Legion. The students involved this year had great success. South Carleton High School grade ten student Laura Weisskopf won at both the Branch and Zone levels for her poem in the senior category. Her poem went on to compete at the District level where it also won first place. This took Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry to the Provincial level where she again placed first. Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem is now competing at the National level. It is quite an achievement to get to this National level. Exercise classes geared for the older generation are held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. at the Richmond Legion Hall. Coffee is served each weekday at 10 a.m. Euchre is played each Friday at 1 p.m. while the card game â&#x20AC;&#x153;500â&#x20AC;? is played each Wednesday at 1 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to take part in any of these free events.
News - This year it happens only one day before the actual St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on Monday, March 17. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the annual tradition of a St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supper hosted by St. Clareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church at Dwyer Hill. The hall at the church on Dwyer Hill Road south of Franktown Road will be filled not only with Irish feeling but also with some of the best food to be found anywhere, as the supper will feature a delicious homemade meal. What a way to celebrate St. Paddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day happening just hours from the holding of this supper. This St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supper at St. Clareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will run from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. this Sunday, March 16, with everyone welcome to attend.

‘Swing into Spring’ music and dance night Special to the News
News - The sounds of music legends such as Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and others will be filling the Legion Hall in Stittsville this Saturday, March 15. Source of these iconic “swing music” sounds will be the Stittsville
Main & Abbott Dance Band which will be providing a night of swing music and dancing to the nostalgic big band sound of these legendary band leaders. This “Swing into Spring” music and dance night will all get underway at 8 p.m. and you can enjoy it for just ten dollars as that is the price of an individual ticket for the event.
And the evening will also include a light snack. What a deal! These tickets at $10 each are available now at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville or are available by calling 613-836-1632. So plan now to enjoy a night of big band music and dancing. You might just hear Glenn Mill-
er’s “Tuxedo Junction” or Benny Goodman’s “Let’s Dance” or Tommy Dorsey’s “Sunny Side of the Street” or any number of other tunes made famous by the “swing music” big bands of the 1930’s and 1940’s. What great sounds! Swing music is a unique form of American music that is very danceable and became the most popu-
lar form of American music from 1935 to 1946 which is basically the “Swing Era.” Notable band leaders of swing music include not only Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman but also band leaders like Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Woody Herman, Gene Krupa, Kay Kyser, Buddy Rich and Artie Shaw.
Award winning actress is in upcoming Rotary film John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - At the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival, Chilean actress Paulina Garcia captured the Silver Bear Award for best actress. And now you will be able to see why and enjoy her performance in the film “Gloria” which is the next film to be shown in the 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. And winning a Silver Bear Award for best actress at the Berlin International Film Festival is no mean feat. Previous winners of the award have included such luminaries as Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lily Tomlin, Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley MacLaine. Quite an illustrious and talented group! The Berlin International Film Festival itself, by the way, is considered one of the world’s leading film festivals. Dating back to 1978, it shows up to 400 films at each festival. “Gloria,” the fourth feature film directed by Chilean film director Sebastian Lelio, tells the story of Gloria, a middle-aged divorcee, a lively, active person who is shown with her family, in social situations and at a number of dances and parties. During the film which is set in Santiago, the capital of Chile, she enters a whirlwind relationship with another divorcee, Rudolph, who is a former naval officer.. It is generally an upbeat film about a positive character, Gloria, played by Paulina Garcia who meets life’s ups and downs with fortitude and resilience. She exhibits not only passion but a sense of humour and independence. The 110 minute long film also features an intricate soundtrack with a range of mainly popular music. This film “Gloria” is the third of four films that are being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series this year. “Gloria” will be shown on Thursday, March 20 at the Land-
mark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata starting at 7 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The first two films showing in this Rotary International Film Series have been “The Hunt,” which was shown at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival as well as at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, and then “Inside Llewyn Davis,” a 2013 American comedy/drama film telling the story of one week in the life of a talented but struggling folk singer in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1961. The fourth and final film to be screened in this Rotary International Film Series will be “The Lunchbox,” a film from India whose actors include Irfan Khan who performed in both “Life of Pi” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” to be shown on Thursday, April 24. Passes for the remaining two films in this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 now can be purchased only through the Rotary Club website or by phoning Valerie Wright of the Rotary Club at 613-836-9125. The passes, initially costing $40, are now pro-rated and cost only $20 each. There are just a few passes left, so quick action is recommended to anyone who wants to acquire one for the rest of the International Film Series. This year’s Rotary International Film Series has been organized by a Rotary Club committee comprised of members Valerie Wright, Steve Hunter and Wes Zacharuk. Major sponsor is mortgage broker Leo Maiorino who is also a Rotary Club member. Other sponsors, supporters and partners which allow this Rotary International Film Series to happen include Theresa Qadri of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, John Thompson, Wes Zacharuk Co-operators Insurance, Gaia Java Coffee Company, Telefilm Canada, the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Cineplex, Landmark Theatres, Bell, RBC Royal Bank, L’Oreal, Visa, Audi, the federal and provincial governments and the Toronto International Film Festival.

Recycling tops 50 percent Lions looking for pin design Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - For the first time since Ottawa introduced the green bin, residents are recycling more than half of household waste. Some of the material residents put into their green bins is ending up in the dump even though the city thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recyclable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Orgaworld, the facility contracted to process the organic waste, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept all the waste that was collected. A contract thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently in arbitration stipulates the city must provide 80,000 tonnes of processable organic waste each year. Even though the amount of organics collected jumped from 67,000 tonnes in 2012 to 83,000 in 2013, the city is still paying to process tonnes of those organic materials twice. Orgaworld only processed 69,000 tonnes or 83 per cent of the organic waste collected in 2013, said River Coun. Maria McRae, the chairwoman of the environment committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a word, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disgraceful that we have collected 83,000 tonnes and all of that waste has not been processed,â&#x20AC;? McRae said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This city did its job. Our residents did their job. We picked up 83,000 tonnes. Why is that not being processed? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the question we should ask.â&#x20AC;? Due to arbitration confidentiality thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much the city can say about the issue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preventing Orgaworld from accepting and processing all the organic waste put into green bins, said city solicitor Rick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor said that arbitration decision â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the completed city audit on the Orgaworld contract â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be made available to the public sometime this year, he said. The achievement of boosting the amount of material diverted from the landfill from 45 per cent in 2012 to 52 per cent in 2013 is a bit-

tersweet milestone until the city can ensure all of that diverted material doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up in the Trail Road landfill, McRae said. The jump in diversion can mostly be attributed to a change in waste collection aimed at extending the lifespan of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landfill, McRae said. In September of 2012, the city started collecting garbage every other week in an effort to get residents to put more waste in recycling bins. The green bin was introduced in 2010. Those efforts have already extended the use of the landfill to about 2040, McRae said, putting off a very divisive and expensive effort to site a new landfill. Only 160 of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated 1,000 multi-residential buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like condos and apartments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are using the green bin. That represents approximately 7,770 units across the city. Participation is voluntary for multi-residential buildings, McRae said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If superintendents and landlords want to make it happen, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making it easier for them,â&#x20AC;? she said. Organics recycling in multi-residential buildings began as a pilot project with 10 buildings in March of 2011. The city makes some efforts to encourage apartment buildings and condos to adopt the green bin: it provides smaller dumpsters and larger recycling bins to multi-residential buildings. There is also a new process for ensuring new multi-residential buildings, whether they are towers or townhomes, have space for green bins and recycling. Landlords arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required to report to the city on how much waste they are diverting from the garbage bin, so the city has no way to track how much recycling is happening in multi-residential dwellings, she said.
