Touring the world - without travelling Special to the News

News - Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathﬁnders from the area, including Stittsville and Richmond, travelled the world last week without leaving the area. Just how was this possible? Well, it all happened thanks to the organizing efforts of the 1st West Ottawa Wanderers Trefoil Guild (aka WOW Trefoil Guild) which organized a Girl Guide event called “Friends Around The World.” Brigitte Trau of Stittsville was the lead organizer for the event. A total of 465 girls and their Guider lead-

ers from Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp, Arnprior and Carleton Place took part, with 315 Sparks and Brownies (5 to 8 year olds) taking part on Wednesday evening, March 26 while 150 Guides and Pathfinders (9 to 14 year olds) participated on Thursday evening, March 27. At the event which was held at the Carp Agricultural Hall at the Carp fairgrounds in Carp, participating Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders got to tour the world by visiting the five Guiding World Centres – Pax Lodge in England, Sangam in India, Our Cabana in Mexico, Our Chalet in Swit-

zerland and the new World Centre in Africa. Each girl was issued with a “Guiding” passport which was stamped at each country visited. In keeping with Guiding tradition, each participant received a crest that can be sewn on her camp blanket. During their touring to the various Guiding World Centres, all found within the Carp Agricultural Hall, the girls got to experience traditional costumes, games, music, art and stories while also discovering what Guiding is like in these other countries.

Quiz for a Cause raises funds to help Seje in Kenya But it was not easy, as the Quizknows team finished the nine round quiz testing knowledge on a variety of subjects with 174.5 points. This was just one point over the runner-up “Wild Guess” team. Going into the final round, Wild Guess had led with 143 points, with the Quizknows team in second with 141.5 points. Of course, the real winner from this evening of chili, decadent desserts, a silent auction and the main event quiz is the community of Seje in Kenya in Africa as the evening was a fundraiser for the Community Bible Church’s ongoing outreach program providing help to the Seje community so that it can become self-sufficient. The nine rounds, each with ten questions, in the quiz each had a different focus – geography, current affairs, sports, science & technology, history, music, literature, entertainment and images. One question in the geography round asked in which Canadian province are 100 Mile House and 108 Mile House located (answer: British Columbia). An example of a question in the current affairs round was to name the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party (answer: Philippe Couillard) while the sports round had a question asking which two teams have won the most National Basketball Association championships (answer: Boston Celtics (17) and Los Angeles Lakers (16). The history round asked in which city was Dr. Martin Luther King assassinated (answer: Memphis, Tennessee) while the round dealing with literature included a question asking how many separate volumes make up “Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkein as originally published (answer: Three). The entertainment round had one question asking in which musical are Fantine, Marius and Thenardier among the lead characters (answer: Les Miserables). The music round, called “Bits and Pieces,” featured ten audio clips of songs which had to be identified by title and by artist. Making it a little more difficult was the fact that two of

the songs were played backwards because of their ready familiarity (the songs were “My Way” with Frank Sinatra and “Help” with the Beatles). The images round was all visual, with an image shown on a screen having to be identified. This could be a silhouette of a superhero figure (the Green Lantern) or the skyline of a city (Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia) or a vintage automobile (a 1957 Chevy Bel Air) or a roofline (the Barcelona Cathedral). The event began at 6 p.m. with everyone enjoying chili and rolls. New at this year’s Quiz for a Cause was a “Dessert Dash” where a variety of decadent desserts were up for grabs but with sealed monetary bids having to be made to get to visit the dessert table before others. Among the desserts available were chocolate dip strawberries, vanilla layered cakes, strawberry covered chocolate cheesecake, strawberry pavlova, triple chocolate cake, Black Forest gateau and lemon cake with cheese cake icing. This “Dessert Dash” and the silent auction were both new attractions for this year’s Quiz for the Cause. During the dessert break time after the fourth round of questions, a brief update was given about the Community Bible Church’s ongoing initiative to help out the people of the community of Seje in Kenya. This initiative has been underway for about three years now, and much progress has been made in transforming the community from one where despair reigned to one where there is now clean water, a school and hope. A school for orphans and the poorest of the poor is now functioning and provides not only education but also features a twice-a-day food program to ensure that the children are getting proper nutrition. Students at this school can be sponsored for $40 a month through the Community Bible Church. Currently the Community Bible Church is trying to raise $25,000 to build two classrooms on a concrete base. The Community Bible

Church raised over $10,000 for the project this past Christmas season, with another $2,000 to $5,000 expected from the Quiz for a Cause event. The church aims to raise the remaining funds in the rest of this year. This partnership involving the Community Bible Church in Stittsville and the Seje community in Kenya began in 2011 and since then has involved bringing clean water to the 700 people in the village, assisting with agricultural development and establishing a school there. The objective of the partnership with the Seje community has been to establish sustainable solutions in agriculture, clean water and education in the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. In addition, villagers did not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. A water system that draws water from a nearby river was built. The system filters and chlorinates the water and then pumps it up a hill into a storage container. The system is solar powered and has distribution lines to sites such as the school. The Seje community volunteered its time to dig over two kilometers of trenches through dry, rocky ground to install the water system.

Guiding event â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Friends Around The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Continued from page 1

On both evenings, the event ended with a campďŹ re. The goal of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friends Around The Worldâ&#x20AC;? event was for the girls to have fun by enabling them to experience and become aware of the world around them. A similar event called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guiding Around The Worldâ&#x20AC;? was held in Stittsville in Feb. 2013 but the growth of the event brought about its relocation to the larger Carp Agricultural

Hall in Carp. Girl Guides is an organization for girls led by women and is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). WAGGGS is the largest voluntary organization for women and girls in the world, with about nine million active members in 145 countries around the world. It is part of a network of international non-governmental organizations, all of which share similar aims and objectives. Members of the 1st West Ottawa

Wanderers Trefoil Guild (aka WOW Trefoil Guild) who organized this event are Guiders over the age of 30 who may not be able to make the weekly commitment to being a Guider leader but are still very much interested and involved in the Guiding community at various levels. The Guild members not only hosted the event but shared their love of Guiding and travel with the youthful participants. See GETTING, page 6

Our Chalet in Switzerland, one of the ﬁve Guiding World Centres, is the oldest one, opening in 1932 as a place where girls and adults from all over the world could come together and share the Girl Guide/Girl Scout spirit while having adventures in the Swiss Alps. Our Cabana in Cuernavaca in Mexico, which opened in 1957, is located in a spectacular setting, with each building set in its own tropical garden overlooking the city of Cuernavaca and surrounded by distant snow-capped volcanoes. Mexican culture, food, language and arts and crafts are all experienced.

The ﬁfth and newest World Centre is a new pilot project, exploring how WAGGGS can

Avoiding the red tape

mong the things a city should try to avoid is discouraging business growth. Businesses pay taxes and businesses employ residents, who in turn pay taxes. Along with development fees, taxes are the primary way cities collect money to pay for roads, arenas, transit and the like, so actively discouraging the growth of business in a city is like the shooting of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own foot. Last week, a couple of issues that have the potential to affect how business is done in Ottawa came before city council, and in both cases prudent decisions were made. Members of city council voted to reduce the fee paid by restaurant and bar owners to establish sidewalk patios and decided to wait and have further study conducted on the way digital signs are used at businesses across the city. The patio decision, while only affecting the 2014 season, will see the fee paid by businesses wishing to establish a patio that encroaches on city sidewalks reduced by 10 per cent to $1.23 per square metre. In light of what business owners pay in other cities for the same privilege â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only as much as $0.57 per square metre in Toronto, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it appears reasonable that this could

be done to see how business owners react. The city intends to study the results ahead of the 2015 season and judge the effect. The decision to look further at digital signs, which are displayed inside an exterior window for advertising purposes, is also prudent. The city currently has little in the way of data on how widespread these relatively inexpensive devices are or how they might affect those living nearby, making further study a reasonable course of action. These two issues are good examples of how the city can make life difficult for business, or not, as the case now. In good weather, patios draw restaurant goers to these vital small businesses. Making it easier for owners to leverage the draw of patios keeps them in business, keeps tax dollars flowing to the city and keeps workers employed. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debatable how effective indoor digital signs are for businesses that choose to use them, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re marginally distracting and spending too much time and effort figuring out how to referee them smacks of wasteful over-management on the part of the city. If digital signs need oversight, why not posters? Why not mannequins? It could easily become a slippery slope ending in a pit of red tape.

Mayoral race needs a little bit of spark

he reconstituted Frank magazine has produced a re-election poster for Jim Watson. Under the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watsonmania,â&#x20AC;? the satirical rag shows a photograph of a sleepy looking mayor saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me finish the job ... I still see a couple of people awake in the back!â&#x20AC;? That would be a common criticism: a boring mayor for a boring city. There is an upside as well, expressed in a number of different ways by a number of different people, but all meaning essentially the same thing: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Rob Ford.â&#x20AC;? This is because in politics, boring means no scandals, no gaffes, no feuds with council members, no blowups with the media, no controversy, no embarrassment to the city. Jim Watson has that going for him and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no small accomplishment, actually. Many are the politicians who thought they were being cautious and responsible and wound up with a reputation for anything but. Something can always trip you up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a careless word you thought was off-the-record, a rogue staffer, an expense account that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly scrutinized, a relative who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly scrutinized, an unguarded moment in range of somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhone camera. It is not easy to be boring, in other words.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Boring can also mean competent, not prone to exaggerations and pratfalls, and Watson fits in there, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa needs stable leadership for the challenges that remain,â&#x20AC;? he said in announcing his re-election bid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stable leadershipâ&#x20AC;? is hardly clarion call, but he knows what he is doing. It is an interesting comment on our times that Watson is considered likely to be reelected simply for not being trouble-prone, just for not being Rob Ford. Little is expected of politicians these days. This is not to disparage the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities or his record, only to say that imagination and vision, which used to count for a lot, count for much less. We seem to want capable managers who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost us a lot of extra tax dollars, who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get us into trouble.

8 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

Big things are not going to get done under that kind of leadership and many of us seem quite content with that. Because big things sometimes lead to big trouble â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as witness, say, Montrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic venture in the 1970s. It would be interesting to see a challenge to Watson by a politician with big things on his or her mind. Great cities become great by taking risks, by thinking big. To take one example, Ottawa could have a great waterfront, like many North American cities, if someone thought big and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide behind the NCC. To take a less thrilling example, Ottawa will need huge expenditures on infrastructure to keep our roads and bridges and water systems from outliving their usefulness. Someone has to push that. We know from experience that it is politically expedient to postpone such expenditures. We know from experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think of Montreal again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that postponement can lead to tragedy. So it would be good to hear a big idea from Jim Watson, or from one of his competitors, if only to have a more interesting discussion than we usually have around election time. Watson takes some of the credit for Lansdowne Park redevelopment and light rail, which some might call big ideas. But

Lansdowne Park is looking less and less innovative and light rail is just half of a big idea; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come close to meeting the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urgent transit needs. Creating a proper transit system would be a big idea that would really help make Ottawa a great city. But it would cost money and probably necessitate making rules that make life more complicated and/or expensive for drivers. Other cities have taken on that challenge, but it is politically risky to be sure. There must be dozens of big ideas out there than would make this a better city. It would be nice to hear some of them.

Goodwood Lodge marks 150th anniversary Special to the News

News - Masonry in Richmond has been around for almost 200 years, the same number of years as the community itself. Amazing. The Goodwood Masonic Lodge in Richmond has marked its 150th anniversary year this year. Remarkable. And three longtime members of the Goodwood Lodge have themselves amassed a total of 156 years as Lodge members. Awesome. And these three members were singled out at the Goodwood Lodge’s recent 150th anniversary celebration, each receiving a certificate of appreciation for their years of service to Masonry and to the Richmond community. Just how have these 156 years of service been accumulated? Well, Bob Abbott joined Goodwood Lodge on April 27, 1959, giving him 55 years of service with the Lodge. He is a Past Master of the Lodge. Bill Cook joined Goodwood Lodge on Nov. 1, 1960, giving him 54 years of service with the Lodge. He is a Past Master and a Life Member of the Lodge. Milt Summers joined Goodwood Lodge on April 12, 1967, giving him 47 years of service with the Lodge. He too is a Past Master. So, there you have it – three longtime members with a total of 156 years of membership and service among them. What an accomplishment! And Goodwood Lodge itself is

just as accomplished, having now passed the mark of 150 years since its founding in 1863. It is one of only nine Masonic Lodges in Ontario that are marking a 150th anniversary in the current Masonic year. That’s why Most Worshipful Bro. Donald A. Campbell, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the province of Ontario, was on hand for the recent celebration on Saturday, March 1, along with District Deputy Grand Master Dario Mancuso. Grand Master Donald A. Campbell noted that a Lodge should be very proud of being able to celebrate 150 years of ongoing active existence. He noted that the charter members of Goodwood Lodge 150 years ago wanted two things: to obtain a warrant to become a valid, accepted Masonic Lodge and to have a “home” of which both members and the community could be proud. This 150th anniversary celebration marked the first time that this current Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the province of Ontario, Donald A. Campbell, had visited Goodwood Lodge. The 150th anniversary celebration at Goodwood Lodge was followed by an anniversary banquet at the Centurion Conference Centre on Colonnade Road in Nepean. Goodwood Lodge has assisted in the formation of four other Masonic Lodges over the years. In 1904, nine members of Goodwood Lodge were charter members of Carleton Lodge No. 465 GRC in

Carp. In the very next year, 1905, Goodwood Lodge supported the formation of Corinthian Lodge No. 476 GRC in North Gower, with most of its charter members being from Goodwood Lodge. In 1914, Goodwood Lodge supported the formation of Hazeldean Lodge No. 517 GRC at Hazeldean, with 18 of the charter members coming from Goodwood Lodge. In 1966, Goodwood Lodge supported the formation of Bytown Lodge No. 721 GRC in Ottawa, with Bro. Alfred Harrington of Goodwood Lodge being one of the charter members. During World War Two, Goodwood Lodge established a committee to oversee assistance to British children who had been sent to Canada

for safety. In addition, funds were collected for food parcels which were sent to Britain on a regular basis, even continuing for a couple of years after the war ended. In both World Wars, Goodwood Lodge granted a remission of dues for any members on active service with the military. In 2003, during the official visit of the District Deputy Grand Master to Goodwood Lodge, a 50 year pin was presented to Bro. Aubrey Moodie who was 95 years old at that time. Indeed, by 2003, Mr. Moodie had been a member of Goodwood Lodge for 58 years, having joined in 1945. Ontario Grand Master Donald Mumby visited Goodwood Lodge on Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2005. A banquet in his honour was held at St. Paul’s

United Church in Richmond. Henry Harrison was the Master of Goodwood Lodge at the time. It was believed that this was the first time in the history of Goodwood Lodge that a Grand Master responsible for all of Ontario had visited the Lodge in Richmond. In June 2005, Goodwood Lodge opened its doors to the public as it took part in the Doors Open Ottawa event in which buildings not normally open to the public were opened up for a two day period to allow members of the public to see inside the buildings. Ninety-five people visited the Lodge during these two days in 2005. In 2010, Right Wor. Bro. Bill Cook was presented with a pin representing his 50 years of service as a Mason.

Help shape the future of Almonte General Hospital Almonte General Hospital is accepting applications for three positions on the Board of Directors, beginning June 2014. AGH’s Board provides leadership and strategic direction to the organization’s three divisions – Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor and Lanark County Paramedic Service - while overseeing key aspects of performance.

Masonry in Richmond News - While the Goodwood Lodge in Richmond recently marked its 150th anniversary with a ceremony at the Lodge and following banquet, Masonry in Richmond goes back to Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest days almost 200 years ago. Masons began meeting in Richmond when the military settlement was first established in 1818. Indeed, for the first three years of the settlementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence, 1818, 1819 and 1820, Masons were meeting under a Craft Lodge warrant from the Grand Lodge of Ireland initially issued in 1798 to the soldiers of the 89th Regiment of Foot. The original warrant was lost in a ship wreck in 1805 but a duplicate warrant was issued in 1806 and it was under this warrant that the Masons in Richmond met in the settlementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three years. It was the Duke of Richmond, himself a high ranking Mason who was the provincial Grand Master of Sussex in England from 1814 to his death in 1819, who during his tragic visit to Richmond in 1819 expressed concern about the use of this old and by then cancelled warrant by Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masons and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when things began to happen. Efforts to have the old charter made legal again were unsuccessful and so Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masons applied for and received from the Grand Masonic convention at Kingston a charter dated April 29, 1821. This marks the first formal Masonic lodge in Richmond. This Richmond Lodge met at the Masonic Arms Tavern in Richmond from 1821 through to the Lodgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise in 1846. Prior to 1821, Masons in Richmond had met at the home of Sgt. Vaughan, another of the early settlers in Richmond. This newly-chartered Richmond Lodge met until the 1840â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but the meetings became intermittent. When a new Lodge was founded in Kemptville in 1846, Masons from Richmond started attending that lodge and the Richmond Lodge ceased or â&#x20AC;&#x153;passed into darknessâ&#x20AC;? as the Masonic terminology goes. In addition, the Grand Masonic Convention, the authority under which Richmond Lodge operated, had ceased to function. The charter was no longer valid. Throughout the 1850â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masons in Richmond remained active, attending either the Kemptville Lodge or Doric Lodge in Ottawa. It was these masons who attended Doric Lodge including Bro. Rev. C.B. Pettit, Bro. John McElroy, Bro. Edward Reilly,

Members of Goodwood Lodge and guests including Most Wor. Bro. Donald A. Campbell, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the province of Ontario, assemble inside the Lodge on McBean Street in Richmond where a special 150th anniversary ceremony was held on Saturday, March 1 to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Goodwood Lodge in 1863. Goodwood Lodge was on the move again, being located in a wooden building on Murray Street owned by Hugh Reilly, a member of the Lodge. In 1912, members of Goodwood Lodge purchased land on McBean Street. This had been the site of a Methodist Church built in 1877 which was destroyed by fire in 1900. The lot stood vacant until purchased by Goodwood Lodge members in 1912 as the site for a permanent home for Goodwood Lodge. Goodwood Lodge continued to meet at its Murray Street location until the new Lodge building was built on McBean Street. The building was built in 1918 and occupied by Goodwood Lodge in early 1919. David Evans laid the cornerstone for the new Lodge building on June 29, 1918.

This new building is a mathematically perfect building which reflects the so-called Golden Ratio (phi) in numerous ways. The Golden Radio exists in nature in everything from the arrangement of seeds in a sun flower to the proportions of the human body. Since Masonry features geometry as one of its principle, it only makes sense that a Lodge building might reflect in its architecture some features of geometry as the Golden Ratio. Measurements of the interior length and interior width of Goodwood Lodge (434 inches and 314 inches respectively) conform to the Golden Radio. A presentation by W. Bro. Roger Cook at Goodwood Lodge in 2011 asserted that Good-

Goodwood Lodge marked its 100th anniversary in Oct. 1963 with Wor. Bro. Herbert Lytle as Master. It was one of eight Lodges which celebrated 100 years of continuous activity around that year. These included Excelsior Lodge in Morrisburg, York Lodge in Toronto, Faithful Brethren Lodge in Lindsay, Alexandrian Lodge in Oil Springs, Star in the East Lodge in Wellington, McNab Lodge in Port Colborne and Simpson Lodge in Newboro. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Security building, Apts recently redecorated, ample kitchen cabinets and closets. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Close to shopping and medical services. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Elevator and Laundry on site. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1 bedroom $745+utilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 bedroom $835+utilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Please respectfully no pets / no smoking. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Free Parking

Bro. John Torney and Bro. Johnson Fenton who formed the core of the new Goodwood Lodge, These Richmond Masons enlisted the support of Doric Lodge in establishing a new Lodge in Richmond and to petition Grand Lodge for such a Lodge. As a result, Goodwood Lodge was formally created as of Sept. 29, 1963. The name Goodwood comes from the name of the Duke of Richmond estate in Chichester in Sussex in England. Ironically, Doric Lodge agreed to give the new Goodwood Lodge whatever surplus furniture it had. This included Lodge furniture which had been used in the earlier Lodge in Richmond which, when the Lodge went into darkness, was given to the Doric Lodge to assist it in its early years of existence. The first Master of Goodwood Lodge was Rev. C.B. Pettit who was the rector of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. Another charter member of Goodwood Lodge was Robert Lyon, the son of Captain George Lyon who was among the first settlers in Richmond. He was Deputy District Grand Master in 1864 and went on to be mayor of Ottawa in 1867. It is believed that the initial meetings for the new Goodwood Lodge were held at Reillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel from 1863 to 1866. The Goodwood Lodge then met in a rented 18 foot by 34 foot room above Patrick McElroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store at the corner of Strachan Street and McBean Street in the village. And then sometime around 1880,

Audience joins Male Chorus in song at music evening at Gaia Java shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville will filled with the male-voice melodies of the Goulbourn Male Chorus last Friday evening but they were not the only voices heard during the performance. The voices of the audience which filled the shop were also much in evidence as much of the program was comprised of audience participation sing-along tunes, many of which were suggested by the audience itself from 35 songs which had their lyrics listed in a sing-along handout provided by the Goulbourn Male Chorus at the beginning of this music evening. It started right at the beginning as Goulbourn Male Chorus director Robert Dueck asked the audience to indicate what the first song of the performance should be. “Four Strong Winds” was shouted out and so that’s why started off the evening, with the shop filling with the vocal offerings not only of the Male Chorus but also of the audience members. And so it continued through much of the hour and a quarter performance, with audience suggested sing-along tunes like “In the Good Old Summertime,” “Your Are My Sunshine,” “Farewell to Nova Scotia,” “I’se the B’y” “Land of the Silver Birch,” and more. The audience got to sing along with “Loch Lomond” with its high road and low road, “Waltzing Matilda,” and “Grandfather’s Clock” which “stopped short, never to go again when the old man died.” But the audience also go to be the listeners as well to a number of songs like “Walleye Joe,” the sea shanties “On the Deep Blue Sea” and “Fire Down Below” and the concluding humourous and perhaps autobiographical ditty “We’re the Men of the Chorus.” A highlight of the evening was

May 3 concert Special to the News

News - The Goulbourn Male Chorus will be helping Trinity Presbyterian Church with the construction of its new church on Richardson Sideroad by performing at a beneﬁt fundraising concert for the church on Satur-

the singing of “Yellow Bird” by the Male Chorus. This song was a hit for the Mills Brothers in 1959 and even band leader Lawrence Welk had an instrumental hit version of the song in 1961. This English version of the song takes its inspiration from a Haitian poem which was set to music back in 1893. And the Male Chorus pulled another golden oldie out of the past when it sang “Sixteen Tons,” a song about the life of a coal miner (“I owe my soul to the company store”) which was ﬁrst recorded in 1946 by American country singer Merle Travis but which really became well known when a version sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford became the number one hit in the United States in 1955. A couple of ensembles drawn from the larger Male Chorus group also performed at this Friday music event at Gaia Java, including a jazzy rendition of “Walk A Mile” by an eightvoice a cappella ensemble. “That is cool, that’s really cool,” music director Robert Dueck commented following the ensemble’s performance. Director Dueck played the keyboard for the Male Chorus performance at this Friday music evening. Other instrumentation for the group was provided by Gary King on acoustic guitar and Tom Kobolak on bass guitar. The 15 members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus who attended this performance used wooden risers set up around the front window of the shop to provide for a staggered arrangement of the group. The Goulbourn Male Chorus has performed at a Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop previously. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java coffee shop are free to attend but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. The Friday music evenings begin at 7 p.m. each Friday. day, May 3 in Kanata. This beneﬁt concert will take place at the Kanata Community Christian Reformed Church on Castlefrank Road just south of Hazeldean Road in Kanata on Saturday, May 3 at 7 p.m. The concert will also provide a number of audience sing-along opportunities. A freewill offering will be taken up during the concert.

Also on Thursday evening, the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee begins its annual foray into rural communities with our regular committee meeting being held in Osgoode at the Community Centre/Arena at 7:00pm. While we normally meet at City Hall, once every year, we hold one meeting in each ward. RideauGoulbourn will play host on Thursday, June 5th at St. Patrick’s Church Hall in Fallowﬁeld Village. If you are interested in attending this Thursday’s meeting in Osgoode, agenda items include minor zoning amendments for 4544 Torbolton Ridge Road, 4029 Viewbank Road, 4093 Prince of Wales Drive, 3625 Dalmac Road, 3022 Trim Road, 7149 McCordick Road and 3996/4010 Gordon Murdock Road. Also included is an application to permit a recreational athletic facility at George Nelms Park, home of Ottawa South United, at 5650 Mitch Owens Road. There will also be a staff presentation on the water quality requirement for new lot severances, which is taken from the Ministry of the Environment’s D-5-5 guidelines. Fernbank & Shea Roundabout Construction of the Fernbank Road and Shea Road Roundabout project is scheduled to restart this month. Last year the realignment of the north leg of Shea Road by approximately 90m to the east was completed. This year a single lane roundabout at Fernbank Road and Shea Road is to be constructed. In order to complete this work, closures will be required on Fernbank. As soon as I have details of the closure, I will share it in this column. This project is to be completed by the end of the summer of 2014.

Breastfeeding: Supporting Moms, Supporting Babies The Ottawa Breastfeeding Buddies program pairs new mothers with volunteers who have breastfed their children for six months or longer. The program boasts 58 volunteer buddies who speak 17 languages and were paired up with close to 120 moms in 2013. From modest beginnings of ďŹ ve volunteers in 2005, to 58 today is due in large part to a simple premise: mothers want to give back.

For more information about breastfeeding visit ottawa.ca/breastfeeding.

To connect with a public health nurse call 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656) or email healthsante@ottawa.ca To learn more about what public health does for you, take a look at our 2013 Annual Report on ottawa.ca

Many mothers appreciate the technical breastfeeding information as well as the emotional support they receive from speaking with someone who has been through the same experience. Are you interested in becoming a breastfeeding buddy volunteer or do you want to be partnered with a Breastfeeding Buddy? Contact OttBreastfeedingBuddies@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-6744 extension 23932. The World Health Organization, the Canadian Paediatric Society and Health Canada recommend exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age, with continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond.

A dozen pies bakes up $670 for hospice John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The new residential hospice planned for the area is a little closer to reality thanks to a dozen pies. Combined with the efforts of celebrity auctioneer Steve Madely of radio station CFRA, these homemade, freshly baked pies generated $670 for the Hospice Ottawa West (HOW) Capital Campaign for the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice located in Kanata but serving all of western Ottawa including Stittsville and Richmond. A strong supporter of the new tenbed residential hospice which will feature a garden named in memory of his wife who died this past May, Mr. Madely combined some story telling, some information about the new hospice and the need for it and some humour with his pie auctioneering efforts, a winning combination as it proved to be. He praised a lemon pie for its meringue, an apple pie for its “deep dish” quality and a coconut cream pie for its toasted meringue. He walked around the Lions Hall where the pie auction was being held last Saturday night during an intermission in a fundraising dance for the new hospice, showing one of the pies to the capacity crowd and urging higher bids. And he introduced a touch of hu-

mour by facetiously plugging Farm Boy products such as cheese that would go nicely with an apple pie being auctioned off, with everyone picking up on his tongue-in-cheek humour as he does radio advertisements for Farm Boy. But there was no reason not to give Farm Boy a plug or two because, as Mr. Madely explained during his auctioneering, Farm Boy has donated $25,000 to this hospice capital campaign. Mr. Madely also gave the crowd a chuckle when he noted a crack in the crust of one of the raisin pies being auctioned off but he told people not to worry because it was not the kind of crack that Toronto mayor Rob Ford has become noted for. And more laughter erupted when Mr. Madely good naturedly warned city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was in attendance for the pie auction and even purchased one of the pies, to watch out for any sink holes while taking the pie home. Councillor Qadri shot back that this was Stittsville and not Orleans, so there was nothing to worry about. Mr. Madely, as he was auctioning off the pies, noted that there was not one kind of pie being auctioned off that he does not love. They included butterscotch, lemon, raspberry, apple, coconut cream, blueberry and raisin, all freshly made by Marion Jones and Ruth Jones of Ashton. And when

each pie was handed to auctioneer Madely for bidding, with its flavour announced, a murmur of lip-smacking yummy appreciation seemed to flow through the room. These pies brought in successful bids ranging from $100 (butterscotch) to $75 (coconut cream) to $50 (blueberry) to $45 (raisin). All in all, when everything was tallied up, $670 was raised. In his opening remarks, before auctioneering off the pies, Mr. Madely told how butterscotch pie is truly a local delicacy, claiming that there are only two places in North America where butterscotch pies are made: the Acadian area in the Maritimes and the Ottawa Valley. Mr. Madely told the crowd at the dance that a hospice to provide care for people experiencing their final days is an absolutely vital facility to have in a community, especially to serve those families that are not in a position to have a loved one die in comfort at home. He said that with this Hospice Ottawa West (HOW) capital campaign, the area was finally going to get not only a ten-bed residential hospice but also another day hospice. He said that the new hospice would be providing world-class care to families in the area, noting that already 4.1 million of the 6 million dollar capital campaign target had been raised. He said that Hospice Care Ottawa

staff has already moved into the former Trinity Presbyterian Church on McCurdy Drive in Kanata which has been renovated for ofﬁce and day hospice use. The new residential hospice will require an extension to the facility. Mr. Madely said that the day hospice at the facility should open in early 2015 and the ten-bed residential hospice may open in late 2015 or in 2016 depending on how quickly the capital campaign can raise the

needed funds. He urged everyone at the event to spread the word about the new hospice and its fundraising campaign so that the facility will become a reality and will be in place when people in the area need it. Besides the pie auction, the fundraising dance, which featured the music of the Smokey Rose group, also had a silent auction and a rafﬂe for a homemade lap quilt which raised $219 itself. The dance was hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club with assistance from Stittsville Lionette June Warner whose husband Ivan experienced hospice care prior to his death last June. Hospice Care Ottawa, which now looks after hospice care in the Ottawa area following its creation with the amalgamation of the Hospice at May Court and Friends of Hospice Ottawa, has entered into a partnership with the Bruyere Foundation to raise $6 million to develop the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice at the McCurdy Drive site in Kanata that was formerly the home of the Trinity Presbyterian Church. The Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice will be a ten bed residential hospice and day hospice, providing end-oflife care and support to those in need of such care. The Hospice Ottawa West (HOW) capital campaign got a big boost thanks to a one million dollar donation to the campaign by the Ruddy and Shenkman families last October. This was one of the largest single donations ever received by a hospice in Canada.

Stittsville Vipers are playoff champions Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville Atom C3 Vipers are Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League champions. The Vipers won the playoff championship banner with a 3-1 victory over Carleton Place in the deciding game of their championship playoff

series on Tuesday, March 25 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. The game had originally been scheduled for the evening before but a power outage in the community forced the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescheduling to the Tuesday evening. In this championship playoff se-

ries against Carleton Place, the Vipers won the opening game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex by a 3-1 score. It was the same score in the second game of the series which was played in Carleton Place, only it was in favour of Carleton Place, tying up the series at one game apiece.

The third Carleton Place goal in the game was scored into an empty Stittsville net. This set the stage for the deciding game on Tuesday, March 25 which once again ended in a 3-1 score, with the Vipers coming out on top. With this playoff championship

News - It’s called the Running Room but the name doesn’t tell the whole story. And you only have to listen to Running Room founder and Order of Canada recipient John Stanton to realize that walking can be just as beneficial for fitness, health and weight loss as running. Indeed, one of the ten books that Mr. Stanton has authored is a 360 page book on walking. He says that walking has the same health and fitness benefits as running. The only difference is that walking takes longer and thus requires a larger investment of time for the participant. However, on the flip side of things, walking has a lower risk of injury compared to running. In fact, Mr. Stanton, who still runs every day even though he is on the road 250 days a year looking after the family and Canadian owned Running Room business which he operates with his two sons John Jr. and Jason and which now has over 120 locations and 1300 employees in Canada and the United States, notes that 30 years ago as an overweight, out of shape smoker, he started his lifestyle change by running and alternately walking from lamp post to lamp post. So walking was a part of his initiation into fitness activity, although he went on to run in over 60 marathons, hundreds of road races and numerous triathlons. His early pre-dawn runs ultimately became his ten-to-one run/walk combination that has helped close to a million people do everything from learning to run to participating in marathons. And the Running Room’s program for beginners includes a combination of walking briskly with jogging. Mr. Stanton was on hand for the grand opening of the new Running Room location at the Grant Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, March 26. He also made a side trip to Parliament Hill to meet with MPs in a non-partisan effort to encourage more physical activity among Canadians. Mr. Stanton said that the new location, which replaces an existing location farther east on Hazeldean Road in Kanata, is an ideal location. It has a much larger parking lot as inadequate parking was always a problem at the former location. In addition, the location is surrounded by running and walking areas – not only the spacious parking lot but nearby community areas and even rural areas as well as the Walter Baker Park on Terry Fox Drive. Furthermore, the new location is in Stittsville which is experiencing growth with the Hazeldean Road location being right in the heart of this growth. Moreover, the location remains in close proximity to Kanata so that that community will still be well serviced. Another plus is the ease of access to the Grant Crossing shopping area, much more convenient than the former location. See NEW LOCATION. page 23

New location for Running Room And just like it does at all location grand openings, the Running Room partnered with a local organization, Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, for its fundraising 3K run/walk following an in-store ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday evening, March 26. Among those attending the ribbon cutting was city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Several hundred Running Room supporters filled the store and mingled outside and then took part in the 3K run/walk which followed a route through the Grant Crossing shopping area and west to Huntmar Road. Each participant received a medal from Mr. Stanton. All of the funds raised from run/walk, $10 per participant, went to Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Mr. Stanton says that the Running Room tries to give back to the community in this way at store openings because the success of the Running Room is based in the community and the store’s community focus. This community focus includes sponsoring over 600 events in communities where Running Room locations are situated. This includes being a sponsor of the Ottawa Race Weekend and the CIBC Run for the Cure. Mr. Stanton admits that there has been a boom in running in recent years and says that the Running Room has played a role in this. Part of this is because of the Running Room’s ongoing clinics and the twice-a-week running/walking group opportunities that every Running Room location offers on Wednesday

evenings and Sunday mornings. As one who travels so much himself, Mr. Stanton knows the value of this consistency with group runs at Running Room locations. He knows that wherever he is, a nearby Running Room location will have a free group run on the Wednesday evening or Sunday morning. This helps not only him but all other travelers who are runners and enjoy the group environment that Running Room activities provide. Indeed, it is this group aspect of running and walking advocated by the Running Room that has helped transform the activity from a solitary one to a group one. In such a group running environment, people can encourage each other and develop a real sense of community among themselves. It all adds a sense of teamwork to what used to be a solitary activity, Mr. Stanton says. The Running Room encourages runners to socialize afterwards. Part of the running experience is the socialization and building friendships, Mr. Stanton says. So, running and walking are not only inclusive activities that include all ages and genders and ability levels but also in the case of the Running Room they happen with a sense of community. Mr. Stanton says that “fear of embarrassment” is the number one reason why people do not try out running. He says that the Running Room tries to combat this by employing knowledgeable staff who are encouraging. He says that the Running Room and its staff will provide the inspiration and education required but that the runner/walker must provide the perspiration in-

Harper Government Making Life More Affordable for Canadian Families Ottawa, ON – Recently, Statistics Canada published their Survey of Financial Security, conﬁrming that Canadian families are better off today under our Conservative Government than under the previous Liberal Government. Since 2005, Canadian families have seen their net worth grow 44.5%. In fact, from 2005 until 2012, the largest increase in net worth occurred for families in the middle income bracket. These numbers reﬂect the outcome of our government’s low tax plan which puts more money where it belongs – in the pockets of Canadians and their families.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

John Stanton, founder and president of the Running Room and an Order of Canada recipient, is in front of the running shoe display in the Running Room’s new location on Hazeldean Road in the Grant Crossing shopping area in Stittsville. volved. The Running Room holds clinics to help people to learn how to run or walk properly and also through its regular group runs/walks always has an appropriate group with whom a person can participate. No groups are assigned; it’s the person himself or herself who determines what group he or she will join for that Wednesday evening or Sunday morning, determined by factors

such as distance and pace. “We’re like a resource centre for people who want to return to athletics,” Mr. Stanton says. He admits that many places have the gear like running shoes for sale but he asserts that the Running Room’s knowledgeable and friendly staff make the difference.The world of running has seen a lot of changes recently, including in footwear, watches, nutrition and clothing.

We know that raising a family can be expensive However, our government’s focus on controlled spending, low taxes and balancing the budget by 2015 is making life more affordable for Canadian families. Because of initiatives like the Children’s Fitness and Arts tax credits, the Universal Child Care Benefit and lowering the GST from 7% to 5%, the average family is now able to save almost $3,400 per year. Proof that this Conservative government supports Canadian families is in the numbers: • We have cut taxes over 160 times • The number of Canadians living below the Low Income Cut-off is at its lowest level ever. • One million Canadians have been removed from the tax rolls, including 380,000 seniors. • 1.4 million Canadians are no longer living in poverty, including 250,000 children. • After-tax disposable income has risen by 10% across all income levels since 2006. • We have increased the amount families in the two lowest personal income tax brackets can earn before paying taxes. All of this confirms that this Government is making life more affordable for Canadian families Our government is also taking additional steps to support Canadian families by addressing the price gap between goods sold in Canada versus the United States. Statistics Canada estimates that, in 2011, Canadians were paying about 25% more than consumers south of the border for identical products. This price difference can significantly affect the cost of living for Canadian families, which is why we will ensure that discriminatory, country-based pricing will be prohibited. Finally, this Conservative government is helping families by embarking on the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history. Since coming to office, we have negotiated numerous free trade agreements, including an agreement with the European Union which will create approximately 80,000 jobs. More recently, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, which will also create thousands of new jobs and open up new markets for Canadian business. The elimination of tariffs from these nations means lower costs for Canadian families at the stores. The Leader of the Liberal Party is not on the right track for Canadian families. He would massively increase the size of the federal government by ballooning national debt or increasing taxes on Canadian families. On the other hand, our Conservative low tax plan is making life more affordable for Canadian families while moving towards a balanced budget. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton

Letter to editor: Drama teachers Editor: Why is it that Pierre Poilievre is attacking drama teachers as unfit for government? I find it offensive (page 48 in the March 27 edition of the Stittsville News). I was a drama teacher for some years before I became a vice-principal, the arts consultant for the Carleton Board of Education and then a principal. Nobody said I couldn’t be a leader because I was a drama teacher … in fact, the skills I learned through drama were useful in leadership and administration. I think I was helpful to many students, whether shy ones who found they could be more outgoing in that setting, or extroverts who found a satisfying outlet for their energy … or even the now sometimes maligned ‘bossy’ person who led others to create a good product. Students could try on other roles in a safe setting. Former students who became doctors, lawyers, business owners, ministers, cartoonists, plumbers, teachers, managers and shop assistants have told me that they used some of the skills they learned in class in their working life. In retirement, I have been involved in leadership

activities both out west and here. In B.C., I was involved as a leader in founding an Elder College and building a Shakespeare Garden, among other things. Here, I have loved living in Stittsville and think I have contributed to the community with my involve in welcome the Banting Alternate Program to the community, starting a table tennis group and working with Rotary to start the International Film Series and begin work on a Peace Park. I use some of the skills I learned through drama to speak publicly, to work collaboratively, to be diplomatic, to pursue an argument, etc. I look forward to some response from a Conservative on this matter. Start the dialogue. Why do you believe drama teachers are unfit for government? They practice empathy and understanding, are hard working, showcase the dramatic skills in their schools, have at least a degree and usually a specialist certificate or a masters degree, direct plays after school and work as a team with school staffs. Outside working hours they even volunteer and take part in political debate. Valerie Wright Stittsville

CITY OF OTTAWA CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL NOTICE OF FILING OF ADDENDUM In February 2013, the City of Ottawa completed a ‘Schedule C’ Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop a preferred solution and functional design for additional storage of combined sewage in the ultimate combined sewer area of Ottawa. In 2013, Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) Environmental Study Report (ESR) was completed. The preferred design of the CSST consists of an east-west tunnel (EWT) through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park and a north-south tunnel (NST) along Kent Street from Catherine Street to the existing outfall north of Wellington Street. The 2013 ESR concluded that the preferred design for the NST would include a construction staging area in St. Laurent Square. After consultation took place during preliminary design of the CSST in 2014, it was determined that the CSST could be extended south to Chamberlain Street for an alternative construction staging area for the NST. The resulting change in the preferred construction staging area requires additional property. An addendum is required to evaluate the potential environmental implications.

By this Notice, the Addendum is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the Addendum are open for review. A copy of the Addendum report, and the 2013 ESR, will be available for viewing at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations/sewers-and-wastewater/combined-sewer-overﬂows City of Ottawa, Client Service Centre: 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa Public Library, Hazeldean: 50 Castlefrank Road Ottawa Public Library, Ruth E.

Six Lions Clubs represented at Stittsville meeting Special to the News

News - Blue chairs, yellow tablecloths and blue napkins gave a decidedly Lions Club feel to the dinner meeting at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday night, March 26 as blue or purple and yellow are the colours most closely identified with Lions Clubs. What a setting! Members from six area Lions

Clubs – Richmond, Almonte, Arnprior, Kanata-Hazeldean, Ottawa West and host Stittsville – were in attendance at the meeting. What an impressive display of Lionism! And visiting Lions District A4 Governor Tony Lawson not only gave an address urging these Lions to pursue their dreams but also officiated at the installation of three new Lions

Club members – one in the Stittsville Club and two in the Richmond Club. What a night to be a Lion! Murray Grant, whose membership was sponsored by Stittsville District Lions Club member Ron Armstrong, was officially installed by Governor Lawson. Two new members of the Richmond District Lions Club were also

installed by Governor Lawson - Dale Greene who was sponsored by Lions member Huntley Ryan and Sean Kelly with Bruce Kinkade as the sponsor. The installation ceremony not only included participation by Governor Lawson but also saw the reading of the Lions code of ethics; the lighting of six symbolic candles; a short history of Lions International since its founding in 1917; brief histories of the Stittsville District Lions Club and the Richmond District Lions Club, both founded in 1964; recitation of the Lions purposes; reading of the Lions pledge; and an explanation of the Lions logo. On the completion of their installation as Lions, the new members received a standing ovation from the Lions Club members in the hall. In his address at the meeting, District A4 Governor Tony Lawson urged the six Lions Clubs present to follow their dreams. “If you have a dream, dream big and implement it,” he told the Lions Clubs and their members, stating that having a dream to follow keeps a club alive and vibrant.

He noted that with six Lions Clubs in attendance representing about 135 Lions members, that means a total of 7,020 hours of service in a year if members gave just one hour a week of such service. He admitted that Lions members give more than one hour a week of service, leading him to state that with such commitment involved, just about anything is possible to the Lions community. Governor Lawson also presented Chevron Awards marking 25 years of service to Stittsville District Lions Club member Jack Burke and to Stittsville District Lions Club honourary member John Curry. In addition, he presented a Club President’s Excellence Award to Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis. Each of the six Lions Clubs in attendance made a donation to Governor Lawson for his Governor’s projects this year. These include supporting the Lions Foundation of Canada and its projects for speech and hearing improvement, the Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Foundation where he himself underwent therapy recently and the Canadian Forces rehabilitation requirements.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-217-1897 and enter 7003 . You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

Ally Tierney of Sacred Heart off to Nevada John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Ally Tierney

Sports - There’s going to be lots of hurdles in Ally Tierney’s upcoming university life. Not that this is a bad thing, because this fall she will be off to the University of Nevada at Reno on a track scholarship, with hurdles as her specialty. The 18 year old grade 12 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville will be competing against top NCAA Division 1 athletes wearing the blue and silver colours of the University of Nevada at Reno. She feels that if she is able to compete with these top university athletes in the United States, she will be able to get to a higher level herself and eventually compete with anyone in the world. Her track scholarship at the University of Nevada at

Reno came about after she talked with a Nevada coach at the Canadian Juniors track meet last year, a meet at which she admits that her results were not that good, finishing fifth in the 400 hurdles and tenth in the 100 hurdles. But a couple of weeks later she received a call inquiring if she wanted to visit the university with her transportation and hotel expenses being paid. That’s just what she did, getting to tour the campus, witness a track and field practice, learn about the facilities such as a study hall just for athletes, a physiotherapy centre and a weight room, attend a NCAA football game with the 30,000 seat stadium filled and even seeing a cadaver dissected as she is interested in biology and becoming a medical doctor. Ally liked the campus which is located in a suburban area, noting that it is “kind of like Stittsville in a way.” She says that the track practice that she witnessed seemed similar to the practices that she is familiar with

here at home, commenting that the Nevada school seems to use the same style of training as she is used to locally. The University of Nevada at Reno track team competes year around, with a number of competitive meets followed by participation in the NCAA elimination meets in the spring. Ally, who currently trains four or five times a week with her local CANI (Constant And Never Ending Improvement) track club, feels that she will have even more time to focus on track at Nevada because the professors are well aware of the athletic responsibilities of the students and there is cooperation between the academic and athletic programs. She admits that she is going to Nevada not knowing exactly where she stands in relation to other track athletes competing at that level but her long term goal is to make it to the NCAA championships. She feels that more weight training will make her stronger and allow her to have more explosive starts, improving her performances. She also admits that there is always something that can be improved with regard to her hurdling technique. Ally’s immediate goal for this summer is to attend the world junior track championships in Oregon. This means that she has to shave one second off her best time to meet the standard and then be selected for the Canadian team. She feels that this is possible since she has recently shaved three seconds off her time in the 400 hurdles and feels that shaving one more second off can be done. Ally has the high school track and field season coming up which will include the city championships and hopefully a trip to the high school provincial championship. She says that she has speed but is not the fastest in hurdles. However, the 400 hurdles event is well suited to her because she has the ability to maintain her speed over the longer distance. “I have the endurance and the technique,” she says, with these being keys to success in the 400 hurdles. Her goal was to attend an American school for track since schools in the U.S. have both indoor and outdoor track seasons. There is no outdoor track season for Canadian universities. That’s not to say that there was not interest in her from Canadian universities. She was accepted at the University of Toronto, the University of Western Ontario in London and the University of Ottawa, with track being part of the picture for all three. But she opted to sign with the University of Nevada at Reno. She feels that she is going to miss being at home in Stittsville but in speaking with a couple of Canadians currently on Nevada’s track team, they assured her that they had not experienced any homesickness attending Nevada. Ally says that will be miss her coaches and current CANI teammates and her family but feels that she will be so busy at Nevada that homesickness will not be a factor. In addition, there’s always social media to let her keep in contact with those on the home front. Ally is maintaining an over 90 average at Sacred Heart, attributing her academic success to staying focused during class and generally getting her homework done before she goes off to her track practices.

Concerns about future of heritage farm house, barn John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Much of the discussion at a public meeting on Thursday, March 27 regarding a proposed 750 unit subdivision at 590 Hazeldean Road that extends from Hazeldean Road south to the Trans Canada Trail focused on the future of the heritage-designated farm house and barn at the north end of the property and not on the future single family homes, townhomes, community park, open space, elementary school site and District Park that are all part of the proposed subdivision. But just what the future of these heritage-designated buildings will be is not yet determined as the land immediately along Hazeldean Road where this farm house and barn sit will be the subject of another planning proposal at a later date. And just when this later date will be is not known at present. Planning consultant Miguel Tremblay, who represented the landowner and developer Richcraft Homes at the meeting, said that the ten acre site along Hazeldean Road north of the proposed subdivision is, just like the rest of the land at present, zoned agricultural. He said that until the land is zoned commercial, there will be no interest in it from prospective commercial retail tenants. He said that Richcraft will have to be farther along in the process with appropriate zoning in place and development scenarios worked out before retailers will show interest in locating there. He said that this commercial area, which includes the heritage-designated farm house and adjacent barn, will be subject to a future site plan

application and an application to alter heritage structures. There will be opportunities for public input when this happens. Mr. Tremblay said that in his view, preservation of the two heritage-designated structures means their reuse as commercial buildings. He said that any other commercial buildings on the site would be recessed from the Hazeldean Road so that the heritage farm house remains prominent. He admitted that reusing the barn is going to entail some challenges since it is a wooden structure with gaps between the lumber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see through the barn,â&#x20AC;? he said, but added that one possible use might be using it as the location for a farmers market. He pointed out that the relationship between the farm house and barn has been deemed most important by heritage planners and so additional buildings can be placed on the commercial site as long as they do not damage this house/barn relationship. He suggested, for example, that walkways in this future commercial area might run between the house and the barn to preserve the connection between the two. Mr. Tremblay said that a cultural heritage impact statement would eventually be prepared regarding the commercial site along Hazeldean Road which would outline some of the development principles for the site including no interference with sightlines dealing with the two heritagedesignated structures; the use of complementary materials in any new structures; appropriate architectural design of any new structures; and no interference with the relationship between the house and

the barn. Mr. Tremblay rejected any notion that Richcraft Homes was not meeting its obligations pertaining to these two heritage-designated structures, saying that they are an asset on the site and that the developer has an obligation to retain them which he said that he assumes that the developer is doing. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was at the public meeting, said that he has asked city staff about any developer plans related to maintaining the two heritage-designated buildings. He said that at present city staff is not aware of any plans to restore or adapt the barn. He noted that the city cannot force a developer to occupy heritage-designated structures or to restore them. However, he has asked that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bylaw department to investigate the situation as it pertains to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property standards bylaw dealing with the maintenance of heritage buildings. He expects to get a report from city staff on this matter early this spring. City of Ottawa planner Kathy Rygus, who is handling the current Richcraft residential subdivision proposal, said that any site plan for development of the commercial area along Hazeldean Road including the heritage-designed farm house and barn would be circulated to local community associations and heritage groups, a sign would be posted at the site and plans would be posted on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development plan website. But she said that at present there is no such plan submitted for the commercial area that includes the heritage-designed house and barn. She admitted that whether the land just sits

there or is developed could depend on the market. She said that right now the land along Hazeldean Road involving the heritage-designed house and barn is just sitting there as a block of land. She said that there are a lot of questions about the site but they will be dealt with in a future site plan process. Mr. Tremblay did say during the meeting that the zoning that will be sought for these lands along Hazeldean Road included the heritagedesigned house and barn will be similar to the zoning now in place for the Grant Crossing shopping area on the north side of Hazeldean Road. Such a zoning would allow large and small format retail uses and offer a range of uses that would allow for reuse of the farm house and the barn for commercial retail purposes. In response to a query from meeting attendee Marguerite Evans about providing more green space around the

velopments are or have been reviewed by city engineering staff. This proposed Richcraft residential subdivision will feature about 750 housing units consisting of 250 single family homes and 500 townhomes. It will include a community park, open space along a Carp River tributary running through the site, an elementary school site and a 14 acre portion of the District Park for the Fernbank lands. This District Park is about 27 acres in size altogether and will feature recreation facilities such as soccer ďŹ elds and ball diamonds. This public meeting also dealt with a proposed 49-unit condominium townhouse development being proposed by Monarch Homes on a site adjacent to Terry Fox Drive and the Ontario Hydro corridor running through the Fernbank lands. These freehold townhouse units would front on a private street. No concerns were expressed about this proposed development at the meeting.

heritage-designed farm house and barn, Mr. Tremblay said that excessive open space in a commercial area does not serve much of a function. He noted that the residential area of the Richcraft proposal has 28 percent green space, well above the 13 percent that is required. This includes green space along a tributary of the Carp River which runs through the site as well as an oversized community park and part of the District Park planned for the Fernbank lands. He said that there would not be more green space included in the commercial area along Hazeldean Road. A concern was also expressed at the meeting that the servicing of this Richcraft proposal and a Mattamy Homes proposal immediately east of it was not being coordinated, particularly with regard to storm water drainage. Mr. Tremblay said that there was coordination happening between the two developments. City planner Kathy Rygus said that review of the servicing plans for both de-

Bradley/Craig farm house dates back to 1870’s Marguerite Evans Special to the News

With the coming of another spring and impending development surrounding them, the former Bradley/Craig farm house and barn at 590 Hazeldean Road remain unoccupied. Initially granted in 1824 to Joshua Bradley, an Irish immigrant, this land and subsequent farmstead had been in the Bradley family for generations until Joshua’s descendants sold it to Richcraft Homes in 2007. Although the city of Ottawa designated this Bradley/Craig farm house and barn as heritage buildings that are to be preserved, their existence is threatened by possible vandalism or simple deterioration from non-use. It is well known that barns need livestock in them in order to generate warmth and prevent excessive deterioration. This Bradley/Craig farmstead has been deemed worthy of heritage recognition as it represents not only local immigration stimulated by the military settlement established at Richmond in 1818 as part of Britain’s strategy following the War of 1812 to populate areas vulnerable to American invasion but also a community’s recovery and increasing prosperity following the devastation caused by the Carleton County Fire of 1870 which swept through the area that August. The heritage value of the property arises from its identity as a pioneer farm, the historical relevance of its occupants and the physical structures themselves. The main buildings on the farmstead, which was established in the 19th century and extend-

ed into the early 21st century, included the red brick house, the massive wooden barn with its sophisticated technological innovations, a large adjacent silo and numerous outbuildings. Only the house and barn remain. The farm was established when Joshua Bradley, a native of County Wexford in Ireland, petitioned for land in Oct. 1821 following his arrival in Upper Canada. He acquired the west part of lot 29, concession 11 of Goulbourn township on Feb. 4, 1824. Subsequently, on Feb. 20, 1830, Joshua purchased additional land in the west part of lot 29, concession 12 from John Colbert Sr. The two and a half storey red brick farm house was built about 1873 by Joshua’s song, reflecting the Gothic Revival style of British churches, and the British House of Parliament in 1836 but also Thomas Fuller’s design of a number of local churches such as St. James Anglican Church in Hull and St. Alban the Martyr Church in Sandy Hill and also by Canada’s Parliament Buildings. Gothic design was promoted such as in the Canadian Farmer in 1865 which featured complete construction drawings featuring basic Gothic design. Typical of the Gothic style, the Bradley/ Craig farm house has a steeply pitched gable roof with bargeboard trim in the roof, gable ends and a veranda which is supported by wood columns. The front gable peak has a drop finial and an upper round-headed shuttered window. Originally, shutters adorned all of the windows of the house. Complete with its original Georgian style front door, sidelights and elliptical transom of blue and purple glass, the front entrance of the

house demonstrates the craftsmanship of the time. The interior of the house features high wood baseboards and a finely crafted balustrade and newel post, all original to the house. The building sits on its original stone masonry foundation. Horizontal buff brick quoining on the external corners of the walls and the buff brick string courses running horizontally around the building with voussoirs surrounding

the top of two-over-two sash windows are examples of the decorative brickwork of the era. The farmstead’s L-shaped barn which later additions have rendered U-shaped has a monitor roofline similar to a Romanesque or Gothic cathedral. It has diamond shaped clerestory windows allowing light and fresh air into the barn’s interior. See HERITAGE-DESIGNATED, page 33

This photograph of what is now the heritage-designated farm home at 590 Hazeldean Road, taken in the early 1890’s, shows widow Lucinda Bradley, who died on Feb. 27, 1894, sitting down on the right, in the company of her daughter-in-law Annie Barbara Bradley. Her grandson, young Joshua Ernest Bradley, who was born on Sept. 27, 1889, is in front of the porch of the house, with the family dog. Joshua Bradley, Annie’s husband and Lucinda’s son, is at the far right in the photograph, with his left arm folded across part of his body. Notice the shutters on all of the windows of the red brick farm house with its buff brick quoining. The house was built about 1873 and was designated as a heritage structure, along with the adjacent red barn, by the city of Ottawa in 2010.

GOULBOURN TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY

This photograph, taken in the early 1890’s, apparently on the same day as the old photograph showing the house, was taken at the rear of the Bradley/Craig barn, showing various log barns as well as the family’s collection of horses, wagons and carriages.

Heritage-designated barn was built in early 1870’s Continued from page 32

The barn sits on its largely original stone masonry foundation and features timber-frame mortise and tenon construction with draw bore pins, wide board sheathing and metal roofing. The barn was large enough to store hay essential for a dairy operation and provided conditions suitable to livestock thanks to a ground level door and window openings. In addition, the barn exemplifies improvements in farm technology, labour saving techniques and the evolution of farm buildings. For example, ramps for unloading hay were innovative as were the barn’s interior rope and pulley systems and a track along the upper roof ridge bean connected to a fork for vertically transferring hay into the “mow” and horizontally moving it across the “mow” as well. This unique barn was built in the early 1870’s by John A. Cummings (1831-1887) assisted by local farmers and apprentices. It is the last known example of about four area barns which were built by him. Cummings was a skilled carpenter and builder but he also was the local undertaker us-

ing a black glass-sided hearse drawn by black horses. Joshua Bradley and his wife Lucinda and their descendants played a significant role in the life of the community. In 1860, the Bradleys entered into the first recorded agreement for land for the original SS No. 13 Goulbourn school at Hazeldean, selling the 1/16th of an acre of land where a log school building was erected. This log building was destroyed in the Carleton County Fire of 1870. John C. Bradley, son of Joshua and Lucinda, was reeve of Goulbourn in 1895 and 1896. Family members also served in the military. For example, Joshua’s grandson John Clifford Bradley served with Canada’s Expeditionary Force during World War One. A grandnephew, Silas Emmanuel (aka Manuel) Bradley, served with the Royal Canadina Field Artillery during the Boer War, returning home in 1901 and joining the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards in which he attained the rank of captain. Initially the Bradley farm was a subsistence farm by which the family’s needs were supplied from the land. Later, this evolved into mixed farming involving livestock.

The 1842 census records Joshua as a farmer owning 280 acres including 72 co-called improved acres. The farm was producing 200 bushels of wheat, 900 bushels of oats and 500 bushels of potatoes. The farm had 21 meat cattle, two horses, one sheep and 11 hogs. The census also noted that the family belonged to the Church of England. The 1851 census shows Joshua and Lucy as having ten children between the ages of 18 and

2 while 20 year old Bridget Lyman from Ireland was identified as a “servant.” The 1861 census reveals that the family was living in a two storey log home built in 1832. The 1891 census gives Joshua Jr., age 40, as the head of the household with his wife Annie, age 28, a one year old son Joshua Ernest and Joshua’s mother, Lucinda, widowed and aged 78.

Fertile, largely stone free farm Continued from page 33

Like many farms in the Hazeldean area, the Bradley land was fertile, well watered and largely stone free. Joshua and Lucinda’s grandson, John Clifford Bradley, who became a local auctioneer, pioneered tile drainage on both his own fields and those of others in the area. He became known for his prosperous dairy milk operation. Joshua’s son, Albert Bradley, became a skilled craftsman and carriage maker, operating a blacksmith shop at Hazeldean. While John Clifford Bradley and his wife Margaret raised Ayrshires and Holsteins, their daughter Norma and her husband Eldon Craig raised award winning Brown Swiss cattle in their breeding and farming operation on the home farm. When the Craigs sold the farmstead to Richcraft in 2007, the farm was still a complete historical and cultural landscape including the farm house, barn, outbuildings and adjacent agricultural lands. Adjacent to Joshua’s farm was that of his brother Jacob, who died in 1867 and who petitioned for land in 1821, was granted the west part of lot 28, concession 11 on May 18, 1824.

Don’t miss out on these great upcoming games! Fri., April 4

Jacob subsequently acquired the east half of lot 28, giving him 240 acres of land. In 1821, at the age of 25, Jacob served in the militia with the First Carleton Regiment. He became one of Goulbourn’s prominent early settlers. Jacob and Ann Bradley’s sons Henry and William inherited Jacob’s farm. About 1870, Henry built a double-gabled red brick Gothic style home on his east half of lot 28. The front and sides of the houses were wrapped in a large veranda. His son Emmanuel (Manuel) of Boer War fame inherited this homestead. In its 1974 Canadian Inventory of Historic Buildings, Parks Canada listed this farm house built about 1870 as a building of heritage value because of its architectural significance i.e. Gothic Revival, steeply pitched roof, bead style mortar, double gabled façade featuring two perfectly symmetrical gables, gingerbread trim on the tables and ends and its large porch. The house, then owned by Tridel Corporation, eventually was born down in 1990 after it had sat vacant for some time. The fear is that this same scenario will befall the Bradley/Craig farm house and barn at 590 Hazeldean Road. Both are now sitting vacant and unused with no plans yet proposed for their preservation and re-use.

Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club Think about taking an Alpha course! getting ready for 2014 season Special to the News

Special to the News

9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. And, as is the tradition at the Club, there will be refreshments and coffee available afterwards. In addition, something new is being tried and that is lawn bowling in the evening as required. For more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the upcoming season, please contact Club president George Burns-Nichol at 613-831-0939 or via email at gjbn@rogers.com. Lawn bowling is a game that goes back to the possibly the 12th century and most deﬁnitely to the 13th century. It is also a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its non-contact nature. And, ﬁrst and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air. The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as

close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack” which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, parts of the United States, Japan and, of course, Canada. It is felt that lawn bowling may have begun back in the 12th century but deﬁnitely the game was being played in 13th century in England. This has been veriﬁed by a manuscript from the 13th century that contains a drawing representing two players aiming at a small cone. The world’s oldest bowling green can be found in Southampton, dating back to 1299. Today the sport is played in over 40 countries and is a sport at the Commonwealth Games. Lawn bowling is played on a rectangular, precisely leveled area with manicured grass, divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. In singles and pairs play, a player delivers four bowls in each end. In triples, three bowls are delivered by each player in an end while in fours, each bowler delivers two bowls in an end.

News - An Alpha course is coming up in Stittsville. The Alpha course provides a setting in which to explore the basics of Christian faith, with opportunities for discussion and debate. It all begins with a free dinner and introduction to the course that will be happening this coming Wednesday, April 9 at 6:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Following the dinner, Nicky Gumbel will give a presentation on “Christianity – Is It Boring, Irrelevant and Untrue???”. This will give an idea of how the Alpha course works and those who choose to do so are then able to continue on with the ten Alpha course sessions that will follow. The Alpha course is designed for those of all faiths and all degrees of faith, from non-Christians curious about whether God exists to people who may attend church but who have never felt that they understood the basics of Christianity to those interested in learning more about their faith. Those from all backgrounds, all religions and all viewpoints are welcome to attend an Alpha course. Indeed, over nine million people from around

the world have attended Alpha courses. The Alpha course at St. Thomas Anglican Church will begin after Easter on Wednesday, April 23 and will run for ten consecutive Wednesday evenings. Each session will begin with a meal where participants will be able to get to know each other on a personal basis. After dinner, there will be a talk presented on topics such as “Who Is Jesus?”, “How Does God Guide Us?”. And “Does Jesus Still Heal Today?” The talk will be followed by small group discussions where issues raised issues raised in the talks as well as comments and questions can be explored in an atmosphere where everyone’s opinion is heard and welcomed. There’s always plenty of laughter and fun at each of these sessions. What’s great is that there is no cost for an Alpha course. However, where possible, participants are encouraged to make a small contribution towards the expenses related to the meal. To ﬁnd out more about this Alpha course or to reserve a place at the introductory dinner on Wednesday, April 9, please call 613-8310968.

News – The annual Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race is happening on Saturday, April 12 – maybe! It all depends on the arrival of spring and just when that happens. The announced date for the Race of Saturday, April 12 has now been deemed as tentative. If the current wintry weather continues and the spring thaw is delayed, then the race will be moved to Saturday, April 26. But whatever the date ends up being, 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 earlier this year that the 2014 Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race was being 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.

McDonald’s music evening at Gaia Java coffee shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It officially was a rare Wednesday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. But unofficially it could be called a McDonald’s music evening as McDonald family members spanning three generations performed during the event which drew a packed audience to the coffee shop. Heather McDonald, an Ottawa born singer songwriter who now lives and performs in British Columbia, opened up the evening on Wednesday, March 26 with a selection of her original songs, accompanying herself on the guitar. Her self-penned tunes JOHN CURRY/METROLAND included “Bones,” “Union Card,” Members of “The Backsliders” bluegrass group who are performing at the Wednesday music evening at the “No Regrets,” “Viking Burial,” “EarGaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Wednesday, March 26 are, from left, Don Fletcher on the ly Spring,” and her concluding “Tofiddle, Ed Sexton on the guitar and vocals, Jason McDonald on mandolin and Terry McDonald on bass. night.” Before she sang “Tonight,” she

stepped aside to allow her six year old niece from Carp, Kyra McDonald, play a tune on her youngster-sized fiddle, a performance that brought forth thunderous applause by the audience. Heather performed a couple of songs with members of the bluegrass group “The Backsliders. One of the tunes played by Heather with this group was “Elk River,” another of her own compositions. The Elk River, by the way, runs through Fernie, B.C. where she lives. “The Backsliders” group includes Heather’s father Terry McDonald on bass and vocals and her brother Jason McDonald on mandolin and vocals along with Don Fletcher on fiddle and Ed Sexton on guitar and vocals. Terry, Jason and Don all live in Stittsville while Ed lives in Ottawa. This bluegrass-style group has been together for several years, playing a wide range of music under the bluegrass banner. Following a break after “The Backsliders performed with Heather McDonald, the Wednesday music evening continued with “The Backsliders” taking centre stage and presenting an array of bluegrass-sounding songs, with vocals being shared among Terry McDonald, Jason McDonald and Ed Sexton. There was lots of fiddle flourishes thanks to Don Fletcher on fiddle and there’s nothing quite like those mandolin sounds produced by Jason McDonald – bluegrass music never sounded so good! The crowd sure loved it and so too we would imagine did the assortment of instrument-playing musicians depicted in the artwork that is featured on one side wall of the coffee shop, although none of them are playing mandolins. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville has regular Friday music evenings, starting at 7 p.m. with free admission. This Wednesday music evening may be the start of Gaia Java offering a second additional weekly music evening at times. More of them will depend on audience acceptance and the availability of entertainers. Performing at this Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop starting at 7 p.m. is singer/songwriter Joe Brownrigg, a policeman who among his CDs has one called “The Wild” that tells about his life as a policeman. Joe accompanies himself on the guitar.

Orange and Green teams are all tied up in Town League playoff finals

‘Super Scientists’ from Richmond finish in third

John Curry

News - The “Super Scientists” team from Richmond Public School lived up to their name in the National Research Council’s Engineering Challenge 2014. They proved to be super scientists as they placed third in the recent competition staged at the National Research Council in Ottawa. This year’s engineering challenge was for a team of students to design a “mechanically powered launcher” that would launch a ping pong ball into three successive targets set up at different distances.

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - It has come down to a single game to determine the Stittsville Town League championship. The best-of-three championship series is tied up at one game apiece, setting the stage for the deciding showdown game this week. And it could be a close game, judging by the first two games of the championship series, both of which ended with one goal victories. It was the Cabling Ottawa Orange Team which took the early lead in the series, winning the first game on Wednesday, March 26 with a 4-3 win over the Bond’s Décor Green Team. After a scoreless first period, both teams tallied three times in the second period so that the teams entered the third period locked in a 3-3 tie. That’s when Steve McJannet of the Orange Team scored the only goal of the third period, with assists going to Matt Hand and Scott Sherman, to give the Orange Team a 4-3 lead. This is how the game ended and the Orange Team had the lead in the series. This was Steve McJannet’s second goal of the game. Other Orange Team goals were scored by Trevor Graham and Matt Yakabuski. Steve McJannet also picked up an assist in the game, as did John Ostepyk and Scott Vennor. Scott Sherman not only assisted on Steve McJannet’s game winning goal but also picked up another assist as well on Matt Yakabuski’s goal. Scoring for the Bond’s Décor Green Team in this game were Greg Clarke, Craig Bagshaw and Trevor Sachs. Ryan Kennedy earned two assists in the game for the Green Team with Matt Sterling, Mark Vennor and Craig Bagshaw all picking up one assist. This Wednesday night victory by the Orange Team set up the game on Thursday, March 27 as a do-or-die situation for the Green Team. And the Green Team came through, although again it was a one goal game, this time a 2-1 victory for the Green Team, setting up the stage for the third and deciding game of this championship series this week. The Green Team went ahead 1-0 thanks to a first period goal by Ryan Sterling, assisted by Greg Clarke. This was the only goal scored in the period. The Green Team extended its lead to 2-0 by scoring the only goal of the second period, this time with Trevor Sachs scoring, assisted by Ryan Kennedy and Craig Bagshaw. In the third period, the Orange Team got on the scoreboard thanks to a goal by Trevor Graham assisted by Scott Vennor and Matt Yakabuski. But the Orange Team could not tie it up and the Green Team won 2-1, setting up the deciding third game clash for the championship this week.

Special to the News

Student groups participated in the challenge at the school level and then the winning team in each school level competition went on to the wider competition at the National Research Council. In the competition, the “mechanically powered launcher” machines were ranked according to their launch accuracy, mass (lighter machines were worth more) and ingenuity. Members of Richmond Public School’s “Super Scientists” team in this Engineering Challenge 2014 were students Ellie Sheppard, Cassie Driscoll, Wyatt Morrow and Gareth Frolander.

News - What makes ice skating shows so enjoyable is not only the artistry of the skaters or their colourful costumes but also the music. When all these three ingredients are put together in an ice show, then the result can only be one thing – Wow! And that’s what was the case for the Goulbourn Skating Club’s two performances of its ice show “Stars on Broadway” at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena in Richmond last Saturday.

Entertaining skating, costumes in keeping with the theme of the routine and that wonderful music – “Grease Lightning” from Grease, “Supercalifragilistic” from Mary Poppins, “Hakuna Matata” from the Lion King and so much more. What a way to spend time – seeing young skaters performing in costume, with well-known and catchy music resounding through the arena. It’s almost like heaven! And it all happened right at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre in Richmond last Saturday, thanks to the skaters, coaches and volunteers of the Goulbourn Skating Club. Wow!

West Ottawa Soccer Club teams up with Ottawa Fury FC Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - The Ottawa Fury FC has teamed up with the West Ottawa Soccer Club to support the amateur club’s player development in a partnership agreement. It’s premature to detail the exact ways the clubs will work together, said Fury technical director Phillip Dos Santos, but much of the partnership will be focused on guiding the coaching staff. He said the Fury will be providing coaches with guidelines and training methods to provide players a highlevel soccer culture. Other opportunities, such as clinics with Fury players or coaching staff for the youth players, could also happen. “We know not everyone will make it (to the pro level),” Dos Santos said. “But they will come out of it stronger because they’re working in an excellence environment. They need to grow inside a framework where excellence is part of it.” He said players need to see professional soccer and grow up knowing what’s needed to make it to the next level in order to be successful; an opportunity that has been lacking in Ottawa. The Fury begin play in the North American Soccer League this spring.

Fury FC president John Pugh said the partnership may also include opportunities on game days for the youth who play for the soccer club, like accompanying the players onto the field. He said the clubs have been

in talks for the past six months to put the partnership together, and the Fury attended the club’s latest strategic planning session. The Canadian Soccer Association mandates projects like the partner-

ships for each of Canadian’s five professional soccer teams in order to recruit and identify talent early, Pugh said. He said most under-17 and under-20 national team players in Can-

ada have an association with one of the professional clubs. “It gives soccer culture in Ottawa and beyond real shape,” said West Ottawa Soccer Club president Brian Mason.

Here comes Jiffy Lube service centre Special to the News

News - Jiffy Lube, which pioneered the fast oil change industry back in 1979, now has over 2,000 locations across North America. And soon there may be one on the southwest corner of Cope Road and Terry Fox Drive immediately north of the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive.

That’s because a site plan has been submitted to the city of Ottawa for a Jiffy Lube service centre at the site. It would be a facility with three service bays and 19 parking spaces. Jiffy Lube services approximately 24 million customers each year from its more than 2,000 locations in North America that exist today. In Canada, Jiffy Lube is a division of Shell Canada Products and

has over 135 service centres across the country, all of which are owned and operated by independent business owners. Jiffy Lube pioneered the fast oil change industry in the United States in 1979 by establishing the first drivethru service ba operation as a means of providing customers with fast and professional maintenance service for a vehicle.

This new concept of vehicle maintenance was created to fill a gap left by the vanishing of full service gas stations with the emergence of selfserve gas outlets. It was Jiffy Lube which introduced the now-ubiquitous window cling reminder sticker to help motorists keep track of their oil change intervals. Jiffy Lube uses state-of-the-art computing technology to educate

customers about vehicle maintenance services and to provide services that satisfy vehicle manufacturers’ warranty requirements. Jiffy Lube, through its over 2,000 locations, collects more used oil than any company in North America. This oil is re-refined and used for industrial applications such as electricity generation and heating asphalt to pave roads.

News - You’ll be able to meet the Easter Bunny a week before Easter itself at the grand opening celebration for the new Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) branch at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive. The Easter Bunny is going to be in attendance and you’ll be able to have a picture taken with the Easter Bunny – free of charge. The grand opening celebration, which will happen on Saturday, April 12 from 12 noon to 3 p.m., will also include a BBQ, games for the family and an opportunity to enter a draw to win a camera. Everyone is welcome to drop in at this grand opening celebration and check out this new CIBC branch while seeing the Easter Bunny and enjoying the other activities planned at the event. Gillian Schreiter is the manager of this new CIBC branch. Its hours are Monday to Wednesday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday and Friday 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The branch can be contacted by phone at 613-5950797. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commercial (CIBC) is Canada’s fifth largest chartered bank by deposits. It was named the strongest bank in Canada and North America and the third strongest bank in the world by Bloomberg Markets magazine in May 2012. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce came into being in 1961 with over 1200 branches across Canada with the merger of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Imperial Bank of Canada which, at that time, were two of Canada’s largest banks. The Canadian Bank of Commerce was founded in 1867 in Toronto while the Imperial Bank of Commerce first opened in Toronto in 1875.

Eliana Kurilov to accompany West Ottawa Ladies Chorus Special to the News

News - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus directed by Robert Dueck of Stittsville has a new accompanist and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Tyson Chen as initially thought. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new accompanist replacing Bonnie MacDiarmid who had to withdraw due to personal and health reasons is Eliana Kurilov.

Mr. Chen will finish this spring as the accompanist for the Goulbourn Male Chorus. Eliana Kurilov, who will be accompanying the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus for the first time at its benefit concert in support of the Lanark County Food Bank this coming Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Carleton Place, is

a musician trained in both classical and sacred music. She holds a dual Bachelor of Music degree from Conservatorio Dramatico e Musical de Sao Paulo and Faculdade Teologica Batista de Sao Paulo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brazil with a concentration on piano and organ. Eliana has more than 30 years of experience as a pianist and organist for soloists, adult choirs and church-

es and she has also conducted a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir. For more than 15 years, she taught piano, organ and music theory at Faculdade Teologica Batista de Sao Paulo and was the piano and organ accompanist for that universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir. During her musical career in Brazil, Eliana performed pipe organ con-

certs from a variety of composers like Bach, Vivaldi, Haendel and others. In 2009, Eliana moved with her family to Ottawa where she started to play piano for church choirs and at worship services. Since 2013, she has been the accompanist for the Kanata Choral Society and also teaches private piano lessons at the Ottawa School of Music.

The Village Orchard in Richmond Special to the News

News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called The Village Orchard and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an initiative of the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church community in Richmond. This new initiative is community based, non-profit and educational as it is an attempt to introduce people to some of the basic principles of permaculture. Permaculture deals with ecologi-

cal design, ecological engineering and environmental design that develops sustainable architecture and self-maintained agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. It is a philosophy of working with rather than against nature and of looking at plants and animals as a whole rather than treating any area as a single product system. Permaculture is based on a couple

of basic ethical principles including care of the earth and care of people. The Village orchard is a local group in Richmond who wants to help Richmond residents share the wonderful harvest that they have in their own backyards. The group hopes to mobilize local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groups and other volunteers to help you pick the fruit from your backyard trees. You keep what you like

and the rest will go to groups and individuals in need. Some of the trees which may be growing in your yard include apple trees, crabapple trees, chokecherries, pear trees and plum trees. And it is not just at harvest time that The Village Orchard wants to help. The Village Orchard group wants to help in the pruning and care of such trees, working to help keep it healthy and bountiful. The whole idea is to produce a great harvest for tree owners with the

goal of helping village residents who would like fresh produce. If you would like to donate some of the harvest from a tree on your property or if you would appreciate some help with pruning or if you would like to help out with the harvesting, please get in touch with The Village Orchard. The Village Orchard is available by email at TheVillageOrchard@gmail.com or by calling Anne at 613-838-4812. In addition, there is a website that can be visited at www.VillageOrchard.ca.

There is no admission fee but a freewill offering will be collected and non-perishable food donations will be accepted. And those who attend will not only have the opportunity to hear the 30-voice West Ottawa Ladies Chours but also will have an opportunity to hear the nine-member male a cappella ensemble known as the Men of Note who will be performing Canadian east and west coast music as well as folk songs. The concert itself will showcase traditional music from a variety of musical genres including humourous entertainment songs to more serious madrigals to ballads to nostalgic tunes to folk songs to songs about Canada.

But there’s even more. Those attending will have the chance to win one of numerous door prizes which will be given away during the concert. These gift bags, all with a value ranging from $20 to $20, have been donated by members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. In addition, Home Depot in Carleton Place has donated a $50 gift certificate as a door prize. In addition, the concert will include an audience singalong portion where you will be able to sing along to such tunes as “The Happy Wanderer,” “In the Good Old Summertime,” and “Land of the Silver Birch.” It is the hope that this concert will generate the funds and food items necessary that will allow the Lanark County Food Bank to help out its recipients during the upcoming Easter period. The Lanark County Food Bank is a non-profit volunteer driven organization whose mission is the provision of safe and nutritional food assistance to persons in need in an area that includes Franktown, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, Innisville, Blakeney, Clayton and White Lake.

Members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus are Barbara Bottriell, Debbie Trouten, Irene Moore, Kelly Lawson, Liz Mevel, Margaret Peeren, Mary March, Nancy Hayley, Ruth Sword, Taisia Smellie, Beth Ronaghan, Ingrid Gemmell, Jacqueline Sanders, Kimberly Lovatt, Lorraine Harker, Marlene van Hasselt-Gorksi, Maxine Mercer, Nicola Lahey, Sharon Neill, Vivian Latulippe, Bev Armbruster, Ingrid Shantz, Janet Ramsahoye, Linda Noble, Lynne Small, Marilyn Snyder, Monique Tougas Bruhn, Reta Hamilton, Shelley McLeod and Vivian McLean. Robert Dueck is the director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus while Eliana Kurilov is the accompanist. Members of the Men of Note a capella ensemble are Doug Hall, Gary King, Ian Glen, James McIntosh, Jean Aube, Laurisse Huijer, Martin Edwards, Paul Therrien and Rene Normandin. This benefit concert in support of the Lanark County Food Bank will take place this Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 28 Hawthorne Street in Carleton Place.

Ontario Energy Board holding consultation on Monday, April 7 Special to the News

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

New Rotarians Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville president Alfredo Patricio, right, welcomes two new members who were inducted at the Club’s meeting on Tuesday, March 25, Debra Leduc, left, and Ron Hauck, centre.

News - The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) wants to hear from you about the proposed Energy East pipeline project. And the OEB is coming to Stittsville in this community consultation process as Stittsville is one of seven communities where the OEB will hold an interactive community discussion about the proposal. All seven communities are along the proposed pipeline route, with the others being Kenora, Thunder Bay, Kapuskasing, Timmins, North Bay and Cornwall. The community discussions began on Tuesday, March 25 and will end on Tuesday, April 8. The Stittsville community discussion will take place this coming Monday, April 7 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. At this community discussion meeting, there will be an

opportunity for local organizations to make brief presentations to the OEB about the pipeline proposal. Although the OEB has no jurisdiction over this Energy East pipeline project which falls under the jurisdiction of the National Energy Board, the Ontario government will be using the results of the OEB’s findings through its consultation process to determine the government’s position with regard to the Energy East pipeline project. The provincial government will be participating in the hearings on the proposed pipeline that will be held by the National Energy Board. The proposed Energy East pipeline project is a $12 billion project to transport crude oil from western Canada through Ontario to Quebec and New Brunswick. In Ontario, the proponent, TransCanada Pipelines, is proposing to convert approximately

1900 kilometers of existing natural gas pipeline to become this new oil pipeline. The project also involves constructing about 100 kilometers of new pipeline and building about 30 pumping stations. The natural gas pipeline which is proposed to be converted runs just west of Stittsville, going south to run just west of Richmond. It was last November when Ontario’s Minister of Energy asked the OEB to examine and report on TransCanada Pipelines proposed Energy East pipeline project from an Ontario perspective and further asked the OEB to undertake a consultation process about the project. The consultation process is meant to provide a forum for Ontario residents to express their views on the proposed Energy East pipeline. These views will be reflected in the OEB’s report on the project to the Minister.

MARY COOK Those evenings when it seemed

Lifestyle - My sister Audrey’s voice was stern that night. “I don’t know how often I have to tell you, Mary” she said, wagging a finger under my nose. “It has nothing to do with you. Mother gets like that ever so often. You should be used to it by now.” The issue was Mother’s mood. She had that look about her that gave me knots in the pit of my stomach. But that year winter seemed to go on forever: the snow hadn’t even begun to melt, the Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed, and Mother seemed more melancholy than usual. As usual, I thought I had done something to upset her, something terrible like forgetting to close my eyes when saying our prayers at her knee at night or not wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table to her satisfaction after cleaning up after supper. But Audrey said no, I had done nothing to put her in her mood. Once again she told me that this time of year was when Mother most missed her beloved New York. “It happens every year. Don’t you remember? Just when winter is about over.” And I would ask my sister to explain it all to me again. She said it was sort of like getting the stomach flu, only there was no medicine to make it better. To make matters worse, the last big snow storm prevented the Philadelphia Inquirer from arriving at Ritza’s Drug Store. The paper was as thick as Eaton’s Catalogue, and once Mr. Ritza told Mother she was the only one in the entire county who got the Philadelphia Inquirer. So Mother was even without that connection to the city she had left, to live in the backwoods of Renfrew County, on a farm with no running water, no electricity and miles from the nearest town. It seemed to me that during the day, Mother was happier than she was at night this time of year. And again, my much wiser and older sister Audrey said it was because her days were filled with washing and ironing, baking, and keeping the old log house in tiptop shape. It was the evenings, when only the coal-oil lamp in the middle of the table lit the kitchen, and the wind howled outside, and the branches of the bare tree close to the house scraped against the windows, that Mother fidgeted at one end of the table, often staring off into space. She took to looking up to one corner of the kitchen ceiling, as if

she were searching for something. Then she would give her head a shake, and bend down to her diaries in front of her. If Father was aware of the change in Mother, he said nothing. He still dozed in the rocking chair by the cook stove, puffing on his pipe until he fell asleep, and the pipe landed on his chest leaving his mouth, or as often happened, slid to the floor, landing on the Ottawa Farm Journal, or the Family Herald and Weekly Star. And I would sit at the long kitchen table, pretending to be drawing in a five-cent scribbler, bought at the Rexall One Cent Sale, and kept for just such an evening pastime. But my eyes would be on Mother. And in the silence of the kitchen, the brothers quietly doing what amused them, and Audrey embroidering, I could actually hear Mother’s pencil, sliding over the page in her diary. It made the faintest of sounds, but on those evenings when Mother’s mind was a million miles away, I was so aware of every move she made at the end of the table. It was at that time that she wrote furiously in her diaries. She sat with her left arm circling her scribbler, and I would see her nod, as if confirming what she was writing, and I could tell when she came to the end of a sentence. She would jab at the paper with the pencil, as if to say, “There now. That’s how I feel.” I longed to see what she had written, but of course, no one was allowed near her scribblers which were kept in the upper shelf of the back-to-the-wall cupboard. That was a sacred place. At other times I would fall asleep to the click-clack of the old treadle Singer sewing machine when Mother sewed after we had gone to bed. It was a wonderful, soothing sound. But now, the house was quiet. The only sounds came from Father plugging more wood into the stove. We would have said our prayers as usual. And as usual, Mother would put her hand on each head signalling it was time for us to say our own prayer and ask God for special favours. And I would pray for the end of winter. I would pray that before long our evenings would return to happier times, when joy would come from Mother playing the harmonica, as Audrey and I leafed through Eaton’s catalogue. When the days were longer, the snow had left the foundation of the house, and Mother would once again return from wherever she was on those dark and gloomy nights at the end of winter.

Serves four. Ingredients * 45 ml (3 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil * 10 ml (2 tsp) fresh lemon juice * 5 ml (1 tsp) red wine vinegar * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried oregano and dried Italian herb seasoning * 1 ml (1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper * 1 clove garlic, crushed with a garlic press * 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 500 g/1 lb) * 500 ml (2 cups) tomatoes, cut in chunks * 1 piece (12 cm/5 inches) cucumber, cut into chunks * 1 sweet yellow or orange pepper, cut into chunks * 50 ml (1/4 cup) thinly sliced red onion * 6 pitted Kalamata olives, halved * 50 ml (1/4 cup) crumbled feta cheese Preparation In large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic.

part of the diet of the native Incas. The Spanish shipped some back to Spain and from there they spread to Italy, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, England â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you name it. It was the Virginia colonists in the early 1600â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who brought the first potatoes to North America. Later, in the 1700â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Irish immigrants in New Hampshire planted fields of potatoes. Indeed, legend has it that American icon Thomas Jefferson was the first American to serve french fries. Potatoes, of course, have the advantage of being easy to cultivate and can be stored for long periods of time.
