Inlet control devices going in catch basins to prevent flooding
Racing in arena hall
John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
They’re inlet control devices and they are going to help prevent the type of basement flooding in Stittsville that resulted from the severe rain storm in July 2009. A total of about 650 of these inlet control devices are going to be installed in catch basins in the Cypress Gardens/Westwood and neighbouring areas in southwest Stittsville this year. These devices will restrict the amount of storm water entering the storm sewer system, keeping the inflow to an amount which the storm sewers can handle.

Move over Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Daytona International Speedway. Make way for the Stittsville Scouting Speedway. The four-track speedway, set up in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena last Saturday, had three tracks (blue, green and purple) for racing Beaver Buggies and Kub Kars three abreast, and a fourth U-shaped track to host the Demo Vans of the Scouts and Venturers as they sped down from either side, smashing into each other in the middle of the track (the bottom of the U). This Stittsville Scouting Speedway has been set up once a year ever since 2001 for the annual Show and Race for Beaver Buggies, Kub Kars and Troop and Company Demolition Vehicles held by the 1st Stittsville Scouts. Each category features a show in which the best appearing vehicles are chosen in judging. Indeed, if you have not seen any pennies lately and think that they are obsolete and useless, think again as pennies are a prominent feature on Beaver Buggies. They are added to the vehicles for weight, with most Beaver Buggies in this year’s show having some of them attached, although some did have nickels used instead of pennies. But last Saturday’s event did feature a lot of pennyweighted Beaver Buggies. See STITTSVILLE SCOUTING, page 2

Four race tracks set up Continued from page 2
The four race tracks themselves were fenced off as a group with yellow caution tape, with flashing green and red lights in evidence around the hall. And, of course, every speedway needs a pit area and this Scouting Show and Race event had such an area where Beaver Buggies, Kub Kars and Demo Vans were able to be repaired between races. There was lots of glue available, along with such possible additions as washers (for weight). In the racing, each Beaver Buggy and Kub Kar got eight races down the track, racing each time against two other vehicles. Each result was recorded to deterJOHN CURRY/METROLAND mine the winners.

Flood control work to happen in Cypress Gardens/Westwood area Continued from page 1
inlet control device will be removed. They are not essential to the new flood control system working properly. Another aspect of this flood control initiative is ensuring that all homes have backwater values for the foundation drain lateral. If properly tightened, this should ensure that any surcharged water backing up would not get into the basement. These backwater values are required by the building code. If the backwater value lid is not tightened properly or if there is too much pressure from surcharging water, then water could enter the basement. But with the inlet control devices in place in the catch basins, this surcharge backup should not happen. The city is also going to make modifications to the storm water management pond south of Bell Street between Elm Crescent and Coyote Crescent. It has a design volume of 4300 square meters but its actual volume at present is only 1700 square metres of capacity. As a result, the city will be lowering the pond bottom by about two feet while staying within the existing footprint. A swale will be built in the bottom of the pond so that water in the pond flows to the outlet and does not sit there in the pond. Sub-drains may also be installed in the bottom of the pond to improve drainage from the pond. This pond modification work will not be done until 2017 as the design work still has to be done. The flood control work will also involve
regrading a ditch along a section of Elm Crescent between Goulbourn Street and Meadowland Drive. This should eliminate the ponding of water which occurred at Elm Crescent and Meadowland Drive in the 2009 storm. The proposed new subdivision in the Elm Crescent/Meadowland Drive area will not adversely impact the storm sewer system in the area because flow from the new subdivision will be restricted to a certain quantity, after which any excess flood waters will flow overland to the nearby wetland. The city had originally proposed doing this flood control work in the Cypress Gardens/Westwood area in 2014 and 2015 but the advent of the proposed new subdivision forced the city to re-visit its modelling to ensure that the new subdivision could be accommodated. More information about this flood control work that is going to be undertaken by the city in the Cypress Gardens/Westwood area can be obtained by contact city of Ottawa engineer Eric Tousignant at 613580-2424, ext. 25129 or via email at Eric.Tousignant@ottawa.ca.

The rest of the storm water in such a situation would remain on the surface. Such inlet control devices, which are now installed in new subdivisions, prevent the storm sewer system from becoming overloaded and then surcharging, backing up water into basements. They are what city of Ottawa senior water resources engineer Eric Tousignant calls a “first line of defence” against such flooding as happened in the July 24, 2009 rain storm. He told those at a public information meeting on Wednesday, April 6 outlining the flood control work that is going to be done in the Cypress Gardens/ Westwood and neighbouring areas that while keeping excess water on the surface is an inconvenience, having such excess water in the storm sewer system results in basement flooding and subsequent ripping up carpet and more. He said that all of the streets in the area had been modelled for flood control and if another storm such as the one in July 2009 were to hit the area after the inlet control devices are installed, the streets would become like rivers, with water up to one foot deep covering the roadways. But this means that basements will remain dry as excess water has been kept out of the storm sewer system. Besides the inlet control devices being installed in catch basins throughout the area, there are plans to install up to 15 of them in some backyards. However, if these turn out to be problematic in a certain location, the

Taking a toll on every driver
T
olls on Ottawa roads or highways are now part of the conversation at city hall. The transportation committee has voted to have a report completed, and tolls will be one possibility. That any possible toll is many years or even a decade away is the only good news. The city needs more money for roads, goes one argument, and driver-related charges don’t pay all the costs associated with their upkeep. But non-drivers also benefit from roads; they buy the same goods as everyone else and those arrive on trucks. And those trucks arguably put more wear and tear on roadways than passenger vehicles. Even if we share the cost of travel more equitably, council needs a sense of scale. Tolls around the centre core may make sense in London, England, but not London, Ontario. Not Ottawa, Ontario, either. Tolls will no doubt deter travel; another nail in the coffin of downtown businesses already being squeezed by the massive free parking lots at shopping malls in Barrhaven and Kanata.
Few would argue that a new highway – maybe a ring road around the city – could come with a user fee. But it’s beyond galling to ask drivers to pay for roads through their taxes, and then turn around and charge them to drive on those same streets. We’re currently investing billions of dollars in light rail. If the eventual LRT system in the city encourages people to leave their cars at home, that’s good. That will be a sign of success. We don’t need to deter people from driving on publicly funded roads. Since there’s no practical way to add lanes to Highway 417 or build a new highway into the core (thankfully), traffic volume will act as all the deterrent we need. And if the word toll raises its ugly head at city hall, councillors should be asked to tackle the obvious untapped revenue source presented by all the bridges across the Ottawa River. Every day, thousands of drivers who have paid nothing towards this city’s street maintenance cause wear and tear on our pavement as they zip in and out of our city.
The perks of coffee shops
W
ell, the sky didn’t fall when Bridgehead began serving wine a year or so ago, so maybe we shouldn’t worry too much about Starbucks doing the same. The coffee house empire announced it would begin serving wines and craft beers in some Toronto locations, with plans to expand to other parts of Canada. There hasn’t been much of an outcry over it, one way or the other, perhaps because there are more important things to worry about. Still, it would be nice in some ways if the experiment didn’t work. The growth of coffee culture has been a positive thing in North America and you’d hate to see that jeopardized. Coffee culture is one of the useful concepts we have taken from

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Europe in the last couple of decades. What a good idea it is to stop whatever we are doing to sit down somewhere and have a coffee with other people around, particularly in a society where people spend too much time rushing around, too much time by themselves, staring at computers or phones. One thing you notice in European cities is the absence of people walking down the street with takeout coffee cups in their hands. That’s because the people are inside a coffee house, sitting down

and relaxing with others. That’s a good thing, and it was a good thing that Starbucks, followed by other national and local chains, brought it to North America. Of course, the importation was not perfect. In North America we had to add the blight of the drivethru, which undercuts the whole idea. And North America also contributed the laptop guy, who parks at a prime table for hours at a time. But overall, the coffee house has worked in North America, made life a little nicer. The vibe in the coffee house is different from that of a bar or tavern. It might be better for some, worse for others, but the point is that it’s different, more relaxed, more low-key, and many people like that. That could go if the coffee house starts acting like a wine bar. For one thing, it will make
things awkward, at the least, for under-age students. After the disappearance of the malt shop, where Archie and Jughead, Betty and Veronica used to hang out, teens have needed a gathering place and the coffee house has been that for some. That changes if the trend toward wine and beer in coffee house accelerates. It is sometimes difficult to understand why businesses that prosper by doing one thing well invariably decide that they need to do other things too. Fast food chains aspire to fine dining. Grocery stores sell bicycles. Hardware stores begin selling groceries. So do drugstores. Bookstores sell candles. Wal-Mart becomes a bookseller. Everything becomes the same. Which is why the coffee culture has been so refreshing. Unlike other gathering spots, nobody is yelling and the music isn’t loud. The coffee house is not like

Rotary Club members go on ‘work life’ journey with Dave Rooke John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was like a world tour, with everything wrapped up in an account of the work life of Dave Rooke. Giving his so-called classification talk, a requirement of all new members of a Rotary Club in which the new member tells something about his life, Dave told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville about his more than 50 years in the work force, including a 31-year career in the military followed by over 20 years in private industry. Born into a military family, Dave joined the Regular Officer Training Plan after graduating from high school
in Calgary, spending four years in military college, starting at Royal Roads Military College in Victoria and finishing up at the Royal Military College in Kingston, graduating as an artillery officer in 1968. This was followed by postings in Gagetown, NB and then Germany before taking pilot training in Moose Jaw, getting his wings at Cold Lake, AB. From there, it was back to Germany for three years before being assigned to the helicopter school at Portage La Prairie, MB. This was followed by a posting to the U.S. Marine Corps staff college in Virginia where he was one of 25 foreign students from various countries. This was followed by three years back in Gagetown, NB flying aircraft, followed by a seven month tour in the Sinai as a member of a peacekeeping effort, patrolling the Sinai with helicopters. Dave was then posted to Winnipeg for three years, followed by
a posting to National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa which he admits that he did not like. He was subsequently posted to be the commander of the Canadian contingent in the Sinai which he very much enjoyed, travelling to Egypt, Israel and throughout the region. A year of post-graduate study at the National Defense College in Kingston was followed by a posting to Goose Bay where he was the base commander for the multi-national aircraft personnel who were stationed there, training in low level flying. And by low level flying, he meant really “low level,� as planes would train flying at just below the speed of sound while only 100 feet off the ground. After his Goose Bay experience, Dave decided to retire, ending a 31 year career in the military. He moved to Nova Scotia planning on a life of retirement but this changed when he seized the opportunity to work for ATCO, a Canadian company with involvement in the con-

struction and logistics fields. This led to Dave being involved in projects involving Canada’s north warning system, managing the airport facility at Shearwater in Nova Scotia, working on a pilot training project in Moose Jaw, looking after the needs of five Canadian military camps in Bosnia, helping out with earthquake relief in Pakistan, working in the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa, providing logistic support for the airport in Kabul in Afghanistan, providing support services to the base at the Kandahar airfield, building a camp with 3,500 rooms to serve the oil patch in Alberta, developing a heavy airlift for armoured assets based in Cyprus and now providing logistical support for helicopters in Afghanistan, South Sudan, Mali and Somalia. But despite all of this private-sector work, Dave admits that “I still love to fly.� He said, though, that it may be about time for him to retire, noting that all of the aircraft that he has flown over his military career now pretty much exist only on display pedestals.

Performing in musical, complete with British accent John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sacred Heart High School grade ten student Jacqueline Burke thinks it’s fun to speak with a British accent and that’s good, because she is playing one of the leading roles in the school’s upcoming musical “Made in Dagenham” about a strike at a factory in England. Jacqueline, 15, auditioned for a part in the musical, singing a song, reading a script and demonstrating a British accent. She later was assigned the role of Sandra, one of the female factory workers involved in the strike aimed at equal pay for women. The musical features lots of songs but Jacqueline has some musical background, as she plays the guitar and used to play the piano. But this is the first time that she has been involved in a school musical and while she finds it is involving a lot of work, she also finds it
“very exciting” and a lot of fun. There have been twice-weekly rehearsals and now rehearsals three times a week as the production nears its curtain time. Jacqueline has found that being in the musical not only involves memorizing lines which have to be known by heart or else things can go awry on stage but also involves knowing the choreography involved. There’s a dance with every song, she says, noting that the dancing is challenging because it always involves a big group of actors who have to be in sync as they dance. In addition, the singing and dancing usually happen together, adding to the challenge. In addition, she and the other actors always have to know where to stand and how to act as they move around the stage and interact with one another. But she is enjoying it all and says that it is a matter of practising and
practising until the song and dance numbers sound and look perfect. She has a great philosophy about it all - “I just try my best,” she says. Jacqueline finds being in the musical has made her life really busy as she also tries to maintain good marks and complete all her homework. While she acknowledges that being in the musical is fun and a good experience, she is not sure if she would become involved in another school musical or play in the future because she will really have to concentrate on her school work and marks when in grade 11 and 12. In the future, she sees being involved in theatre as something that she would do as a hobby, not a career. Career wise, right now she is trending to want to become a teacher. Jacqueline volunteers at the Stittsville Seniors Retirement Community on Stittsville Main Street in the summer, performing a number
of roles such as calling numbers for 17 songs including “Made in Dabingo, serving tea and coffee and genham” and “Stand Up.” helping with crafts and games. In school, she has found that she really likes art, taking a course during the first semester. She will be taking another art course next year. She likes art because it allows her to be creative, using her imagination. The musical “Made in Dagenham” will be presented at Sacred Heart High School on Wednesday, April 27, Thursday, April 28 and Friday, April 30, with a 7 p.m. curtain time on each day. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend. The musical “Made in Dagenham” is based on a 2010 film of the same name which in turn was based on actual events which happened in a strike in 1968. The musical premiered in London in the fall of 2014 and closed in April 2015. The two-act musical is filled with Jacqueline Burke
City of Ottawa NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision Application 8089 Franktown Road and 8165 Franktown Road Wednesday, April 20, 2016 Time: 7 p.m. Richmond Community Centre (lower room) 6095 Perth Street, Richmond The subject property consists of approximately 17.8 hectares of land with frontage on Franktown Road, and an additional 9.6 hectares with frontage on Copeland Road. The lands were formerly part of the Riverbend Golf and Country Club. The Heron Lakes country estate subdivision is located immediately west of the subject property. The Owner, 2396251 Ontario Limited and 8300895 Canada Inc., is proposing to develop 16 residential lots on a new cul-de-sac, two commercial blocks fronting on Franktown Road, one commercial block fronting on Copeland Road and one pathway block. The residential lots will have areas of 0.8 hectares or greater and the pathway block will connect to the existing subdivision to the west.
In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) affect properties located in Ward 5, West Carleton-March. The planning area for the OPA is the Kanata North Community Design Plan (CDP) limits, extending along both sides of March Road from the existing urban area of Kanata. It is generally bounded by Old Carp Road, Murphy Court, Nadia Lane and the rail corridor and excludes the existing subdivisions. Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to provide the road network; Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; and an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA. Approval of the CDP and subsequent development applications under the Planning Act will be supported by the TMP, MSS and EMP. The purpose of the OPA is to provide policies that implement the land use components of the Kanata North CDP. The main effects of the proposed OPA are to: (1) change the land use designation in Schedule B from Developing Community (Expansion Area) to General Urban Area; (2) designate the tributaries of Shirley’s Brook and significant woodlot as Urban Natural Features; (3) update various schedules to reflect the expansion of transportation facilities within the CDP area; (4) update various natural heritage system features; (5) refine the required mix of housing; and (6) implement policy with respect to a cost sharing agreement. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, go to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-16-0007 in the “Search” criteria. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or email by May 11, 2016. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Proposed stormwater fee for rural residents Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com
Rural residents are not onboard with the city of Ottawa’s proposed options to include a new stormwater fee on tax bills. The city held the seventh of eight public consultation sessions for the proposed fee at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre in North Gower on Tuesday, April 5 with over 200 residents turning out for the meeting to share their opinions and voice their concerns. “Personally I have some concerns as I’m sure you do as well,” said RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt as he addressed the crowd at the beginning of the meeting. The city is proposing a new structure for distributing the costs of stormwater management among residents. Currently, the fee is included on the water bills of those served by the city’s water and wastewater system. This excludes rural residents on private well and septic systems who do not receive a water bill – leaving urban residents to foot the total bill. The city collects stormwater fees to help manage the safe transportation of rain and meltwater across Ottawa. Rural stormwater management, according to the city’s presentation, accounts for $8.4 million of the $42.4 million budget.
This includes ditch maintenance ($2 million), system operation like pond and erosion maintenance ($1 million), capital contributions ($4.5 million) and technical and management support ($0.9 million). According to Dixon Weir, general manager of environmental services with the city, staff have been working since May 2015 to develop options that would distribute the costs of stormwater management more fairly among all residents of Ottawa. Three options are now being considered: a flat rate divided equally among all residents; an assessment-based fee; and a fee based on a home’s average hard-surface area. All of these options would impose a new fee on rural residents’ tax bills. The first option, a flat rate, would divide the $25.3 million to be paid by residential property owners (60 per cent of the total budget) by 354,000 residential properties to arrive at a fee of $5.94 per month. The second option, based on assessment, would arrive at a fee of $6.75 per month for an average assessment of $360,000. The third option would impose a fee of $9.29 per month for an average hard surface area of 249 square metres. The purpose of the public consultation sessions was to gather feedback on the options from residents to be consid-
ered before the final staff report comes forward in May. “What we’re proposing is that everyone in the city of Ottawa – all residents – contribute to the services they receive,” Weir said of the proposed options. “We’re saying, ‘These are the costs and how do we share those in a way that is fair?’” added Isabelle Jasmin, deputy city treasurer, who also fielded questions at the meeting. Rural residents seem to be opposed to the options put forward by the city. Several themes emerged from the almost two hours of questions and comments put forward by residents, including a collective feeling that rural residents don’t receive stormwater management services from the city. Rural residents largely operate on private well and septic systems, paid for by the property owners themselves. Additionally, many residents pointed out that their large lots actually absorb more stormwater than they give off. Residents seemed opposed to paying a stormwater fee at all or had a problem with the formulas the city is proposing for calculating that contribution. If passed by council. the new fee structure will come into affect in 2017. Both Weir and Jasmin said that all comments and questions raised by residents would be considered in the final report brought forward in May.
Mayor not in favour of proposed electoral reforms Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Mayor Jim Watson said he isn’t in favour of the province’s proposed electoral reform. The provincial government announced on April 5 that it’s seeking to make changes to the Municipal Act. The changes – intended to increase transparency around munic-
ipal elections in Ontario’s 444 municipalities – would offer a ranked ballot voting system for the 2018 elections if passed by the legislature. Other proposed changes would include: * Shortening the campaign calendar by opening nominations for the fall election on May 1 instead of Jan. 1. * Creating a framework to regu-

late third party advertising, including contribution and spending limits. * Making campaign finance rules clearer and easier to follow for voters, candidates and contributors, including giving municipalities the option to ban corporate and union donations. * Removing barriers that could affect electors and candidates with disabilities. * Making it easier to add or change the information on the voters list. Watson said it’s tougher to raise money at the municipal level than upper levels of government. “The provincial government can raise money 24/7, while we have a much smaller window: once every four years,” Watson said. Watson also said he wanted municipal candidates to be able to accept corporate and union donations. He argued that it actually increased transparency, because the address and company name would be listed in the candidate’s post-election campaign filings. “I worked very hard when I was (Ontario) minister of municipal affairs and housing to put a cap on the amount of money candidates could receive,” he said, adding municipal candidates have to rely on corporate donations because they can’t offer tax receipts. In 2006, the City of Toronto was given the ability to ban corporate and union donations. The ban has been in place for two municipal elections. Watson said a ranked ballot system “watered down” peoples’ votes. Watson said he doesn’t vote against people, but votes for the person he wants to win.
Student wanted: To attend leadership camp John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Wanted: a student aged 15 to 17 years old (grades 10-12) who wants to enjoy a weekend leadership camp in late June. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville again wants to sponsor a student to attend this leadership camp which is being hosted by the Lake Placid and Saranac Lake Rotary Clubs at Paul Smiths College in Paul Smiths, NY on June 25-27 of this year. At this Rotary Youth Leadership Academy weekend, high school students from Ontario, Quebec and Northern New York State mix and mingle while learning about different communities and cultures. Besides learning about themselves and their values, they will have lots of fun as well. So the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stitts-
ville is seeking a student who would like to experience this Rotary Youth Leadership Academy weekend near Lake Placid. Those interested should apply by Sunday, May 1 with email submissions to jas.michalski@rogers.com . The selected candidate will not only attend the weekend leadership camp but will be invited to attend a Rotary Club meeting in Stittsville both before and after the weekend at Paul Smiths College. The Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) is a leadership program that is offered to thousands of youth around the world each year. Youth chosen for their leadership potential attend these all-expenses paid camps to discuss leadership skills and to learn these skills through practice. RYLA aims to demonstrate Rotary’s respect and concern for youth; to provide an effective training experience for select-
ed youth and potential leaders; to encourage leadership of youth by youth; and to recognize publicly youth who are rendering service to their communities. The RYLA program, sponsored and paid for by Rotary Clubs, is a leadership training program based on Rotary’s 4 Way Test (Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?). The program includes a combination of classroom and experiential learning and exercises intended to teach leadership concepts and ethical behaviour. Outdoor activities and team games are part of the program. RYLA was officially adopted by Rotary International in 1971. More information about RYLA can be found at http://portal.clubrunner. ca/50214/Page/ryla .

Councillor Qadri’s Column - Stittsville News – Week of April 11, 2016 On April 6, a Public Open House was held in Stittsville to review the City’s flood remediation measures planned for the Cypress Gardens/ Westwood and neighbouring area. The City is initiating this work due to issues that came to light from the major storm event that occurred in July 2009 where a number of homes flooded in the south end of Stittsville. I was the Councillor during this time and know this was an extremely difficult time for the community and had a major impact on some residents in this area. The City has taken this issue very seriously and following the major rainfall, the City evaluated flood control measures and a mitigation plan was recommended for the west end area. At the meeting, Eric Tousignant, P.Eng., Infrastructure Services Department provided an overview of the works that are planned in Stittsville to protect houses in the future if we receive another 100 year rainfall event, such as the one in July 2009. Eric clarified that the term ‘100 year rainfall event’ is a term used in the field but actually means there is a 1% chance any year that we could receive such a major rainfall. The key message from at the meeting was that if we were to receive another major rainfall the City wants to see the water in our streets and not in resident’s basements. City streets are designed to be able to accommodate rainfall and are engineered to actually direct the rainfall like a river to the appropriate sewer outlets. In a major event the rain could pool up to 1 foot in the streets and potentially onto front yards, however, once the rain stops the water is designed to drain within 20 minutes to 1 hour. The City will install approximately 650 special restrictors called Inlet Control Devices (ICDs) into catch basins across the study area, which will restrict, not prevent, storm water from entering sewers to a level they can handle without putting basements at risk of flooding. The work will also include slightly lowering the stormwater management pond between Coyote Crescent and Elm Crescent as well as some ditch improvement work along Elm Crescent between Goulbourn Street and Meadowland Drive. At the meeting some residents did question if this work was to accommodate the development known as the Chenier lands located at 6279 Fernbank Road. It is important to note that this flood mitigation is to address the existing conditions that lead to the 2009 flooding of many homes in the area and the work was already being considered prior to any development discussions for that property. Extensive discussions have taken place regarding the stormwater management of the Chenier development and the developer is required to address and accommodate that on their own site without adverse impact to the surrounding areas. You can view the presentation from the April 6th meeting on my website and if you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Eric at eric.tousignant@ottawa.ca and myself.

Some Councillors have expressed interest in providing an opportunity through their websites to facilitate constituent access to ward-based development application information.

The upcoming spring concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) will herald the arrival of spring with an evening of choral music. For this concert, the WOLC is being joined for select numbers by the Carleton Place Offbeats, a vocal jazz ensemble. In addition, the Offbeats, under the direction of Margo Smith, will present a number of swing and jazz numbers that will undoubtedly have the audience toe tapping and smiling. In addition, WOLC accompanist Peter Brown will present a jazz solo that should amaze as his fingers fly across the piano keys. This should all combine to make the evening a most memorable musical experience and one not to be missed. The concert is being held on Saturday, April 30 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata, with the Ladies Chorus performing under the direction of Robert Dueck of Stittsville. The first set will welcome the coming of spring, celebrating the joys of daffodils as well as the return of birds in springtime. The concert will also see the WOLC take the audience on an excursion across Canada from the Maritimes to the west coast with musical selections by Ca-
nadian composers that highlight waterways. This concert celebrating spring will also note the delights of nature awakening everywhere and the presence of a feeling of love in the air. So you will hear “It Might As Well Be Spring,” a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic from the musical “State Fair.” And the WOLC will wrap up the evening with the inspirational ballad “What A Wonderful World,” made famous by Louis Armstrong.
This spring concert will also feature a silent auction that will be offering a variety of items. Tickets for this WOLC spring concert on Saturday, April 30 are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville; at the Kanata Barbershop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata; at the Kanata Cleaners at 1029 Teron Road in Kanata; at Mark’s Cobbler Shop at 98 Gore Street in Perth; and at Graham’s Shoes at 139 Bridge Street in Carleton Place.

Author at Historical Society meeting Special to the News
You can learn about the former Royal Ottawa Sanatorium on Carling Avenue in Ottawa at the upcoming meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. That’s because this meeting this Saturday, April 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street will feature a presentation by local author Anne Raina whose book “Clara’s Rib” tells the story of her sister Clara’s time at the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s. Anne and Clara’s father as well as six of their siblings also spent years at the San, with their father and two brothers dying of the disease. In her presentation at the Historical Society meeting, Anne will tell Clara’s story, focusing on her years growing up in the San. She will also explain why, when Clara left the San for the last time, one of her own ribs was packed in her suitcase.
It was back in Feb. 1910 when the first tuberculosis patient was admitted to what was then the Lady Grey Hospital but also became known as “the San.” Over the next 60 years, this hospital admitted 11,000 tuberculosis patients from across Eastern Ontario, with the patients ranging in age from infants to seniors. In 1969, the hospital became the Royal Ottawa Hospital and its tuberculosis ward was closed in 1970. The hospital is now the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre specializing in the treatment of patients with mental health issues. Besides her book “Clara’s Rib,” Anne Raina has also recently written two children’s books which have a Goulbourn connection in that the illustrator for the books was Julia Taylor of Munster. Anne will have copies of all three of her books for sale with her at this upcoming Historical Society meeting. Refreshments will be served following Anne’s presentation at this Historical Society meeting. Everyone is welcome to attend this Historical Society meeting.

Hair Donation Ottawa fundraiser John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Hair Donation Ottawa holds its annual cancer research fundraiser this coming Sunday, April 17. Hair Donation Ottawa is an organization founded by Helene Hutchings, a realtor who works at Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty in Stittsville, after she won a battle with cancer and wanted to give back and help in the fight against cancer. That’s why all of the funds raised through participant pledges in this fundraiser go to the CHEO Foundation and the Ottawa Hospital Foundation to help fund cancer research. Last year Hair Donation Ottawa raised $126,357 with this fundraiser. Pledges are raised by participants who either donate hair (six inches or more) or who have the head shaved. One of those who has been a participant in this Hair Donation Ottawa fundraiser in the past and again this year is city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. He has engaged city of Ottawa deputy mayor Mark Taylor to shave his head at the event. This Hair Donation Ottawa cancer research fundraiser takes place this coming Sunday, April 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the salon in “A” building, Room A112 at Algonquin College on Woodroffe Avenue in www.TimMclean.com

Ottawa. Stylists from salons across the city will once again this year be donating their time to cut the hair or shave the head as required at the fundraiser. It is still not too late to get involved. You may or may not want to be a participant and get your hair cut or your head shaved. But if not, you can easily be a supporter by donating to the pledge campaign of a participant such as councillor Qadri. For more information, check out the Hair Donation Ottawa website at www.HairDonationOttawa.com . This year’s campaign has already been helped by a
$300 donation from MaryAnne Cowan of Stittsville who recently held a monthlong Silpada jewellery fundraiser for Hair Donation Ottawa in partnership with Wayne Patrick and his team at Shears Colour & Hair Salon in Stittsville. MaryAnne presented the $300 raised by this sale of jewellery to Hair Donation Ottawa founder Helene Hutchings at the salon last Friday. In addition, Wayne Patrick of Shears Colour & Hair Salon matched MaryAnne’s donation, giving a $300 donation to Hair Donation Ottawa as well.

Floral display at art exhibition at Stittsville library john.curry@metroland.com
Tired of waiting for the arrival of spring and longing to see some flowers which spring and summer bring our way? Well, just drop into the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street and there, on the ArtSpace Wall at the rear of the library, you will find just the most glorious display of flowers. These nine framed watercolour paintings by Heather Gallup may not be the real thing but they sure are just as eye-catching as the real thing. Each painting depicts a different floral scene, ranging from trilliums in a forest to tulips to sweet peas to orchids. And then in the adjoining glass display case there are more florals, albeit smaller paintings in general than those hanging on the adjoining ArtSpace Wall. When you take in the splendours of this “Flowers To The World” exhibit, you are transported to a world of flowers. Spring may not be here in Stittsville yet but the flowers are sure in evidence thanks to this
art exhibition. As a watercolour painter, Heather Gallup’s primary interests are landscapes and flora. Her creative process is not one of precisely recording flora but rather one of expression of influence. This exhibition, “Flowers To The World,” is meant to be a small example of the uplifting of spirit expressed in Heather’s artistic explorations of flowers. Heather is acutely aware of the vital role of flora in the earth’s life and evolution. Indeed, she believes that flowers are a gift to the world and she views this “Flowers To The World” exhibition as both her gift back to the world and also as her way of paying forward to the world her artistic relationship with flowers. Heather has done so many floral scenes over her art career that she usually does not need to work from a photograph or from a real example as she knows the subject that well. However, she finds that when painting orchids, it is beneficial to use a real example as a model because of the intricacy and uniqueness of the flower.
Besides being an accomplished artist in her own right with paintings in several international private collections, Heather is also an art instructor. This spring, she will be instructing art classes at the Eva James Community Centre in Kanata and at the Nepean Visual Arts
Centre. More information about Heather Gallup as an artist and as an art instructor can be found at her website at http://heather-gallup.artistwebsites.com or on Facebrook at https://www.facebrook.com/ HeatherGallupArtist .
This exhibition “Flowers To The World” featuring the floral watercolour paintings of Heather will be on display at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville library branch until the end of April. The exhibition can be viewed whenever the library is open.

So you had “Hurtin’ Kind”; “Just So You Know,” which is a song about dating relationships based on a true story of what happened to a friend of his; “Making Time”; songs about love, springtime, partying in New Orleans and more. There was even one entitled “Hung Over” which Howie claimed was certainly not autobiographical in any way. And there were some interesting songs, either in their lyrics or how they came to be written by Howie. For instance, “Room Filled With Shadows” was written after he heard that phrase in a movie he was watching. Indeed, he never got to see the end of the movie as he had to immediately go and start writing the song. Then there was his cute novelty song “Grab A Bottle, Twist A Cap” which featured Howie’s interpretation of the sound of a cap coming off a bottle. There was a song “Little Windows, Big Pictures” which had its genesis in a saying which his grandmother used and which he first heard when he was as young as four JOHN CURRY/METROLAND years old.

Howie’s song book for this performance included all original songs with only two exceptions. He sang a Merle Haggard song as a tribute to the iconic country music singer who had passed away earlier in the week. He also included the song “The Cost of Livin’” in his performance.

pickle led to him thinking about the person who put the pickles in the jar in the first place and inspired him to write the peppy ditty “Ballad of Pickle Packer Paul.” It was a memorable way to end this performance, with audience members no doubt going to recall the catchy tune whenever they see a pickle in the future. Howie Hooper will be performing at the Ottawa Grass Roots Folk Festival this month and at the Festival Folk et Guitares d’Aylmer in June. He recently participated in the global “The Acoustic Guitar Project” which saw guitars left in more than 40 cities around the world including Ottawa. In this project, a guitarist/singer in each city is given the guitar for a week during which a song must be written and recorded. If this happens, then the artist gets to sign the guitar before it is passed on to someone else. Howie’s contribution to this project can be found at http://theacousticguitarproject. com/project/ottawa/howie-hooperchilln-n-grilln .

Male Chorus spring concert Special to the News
You can expect to hear a wide variety of music combined with humour at the upcoming spring concert of the Goulbourn Male Chorus. How do we know this? Well, the title of the concert gives a good indication of what to expect, as the concert is entitled “From the Sublime to the Ridiculous.” So, expect virtually anything at this concert and your expectations may be met! You can expect to hear music from such songwriters as Billy Joel, P.D.Q. Bach, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lennon and McCartney as well as folk and spiritual numbers. The Goulbourn Male Chorus has become known for its varied musical repertoire, ranging from spiritual to classical to folk to contemporary and this repertoire will be very much in evidence at this concert. This spring concert by the Goulbourn Male Chorus will be held on Sunday, May 1 at 2 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road near Huntmar Drive. Tickets for the concert can be purchased at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop and at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, both in Stittsville, as well as on the choir’s website at www.goulbournmalechorus.com.

Ecole Paul-Desmarais holds first student mass John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
History was made in Stittsville on Friday, April 1.
The new Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville held its first student and staff mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road, with stu-
dents and staff arriving there for the 1:30 p.m. mass after walking along the Trans Canada Trail from Robert Grant Avenue and Abbott Street where the school is located
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
A group of students from Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais on Abbott Street at Robert Grant Avenue in Stittsville arrives at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Iber Road in Stittsville on Friday afternoon, April 1 for the school’s first mass at the church since moving into the new school facility at the beginning of February. The students, accompanied by their teachers, walked in several groups along the Trans Canada Trail from the school to arrive at the church.
to the church on Shea Road just south of Abbott Street. It took the students and their teachers about 15 to 20 minutes to travel the one kilometer-plus distance from the school to the church. An Ottawa Police Service cruiser, with its emergency lights flashing, was on hand at the traffic circle at Abbott Street and Robert Grant Avenue to ensure that the students were able to safely cross over Abbott Street to the Trans Canada Trail as they left the school in groups. At Holy Spirit Catholic Church, the over 200 students and staff were welcomed by principal Veronique Pourbaix-Kent who reminded everyone of the significance of the occasion as this was not only the school’s first group mass since the school occupied the new facility on Abbott Street at the beginning of February but also was the first mass celebrated in French at Holy Spirit Church. Rev. Jean-Francois Morin from St. Remi Parish in the Pinecrest area officiated at the mass. A number of students had roles associated with the celebration of the mass, with students serving as announcers, as those leading the singing and
as those who took gifts to the front of the church at the offertory section of the mass. In his homily, Rev. Morin told about the significance of the word “Amen,” a word which was heard later in the mass, such as when “Amen, Amen, Alleluia” was proclaimed following the consecration at the mass. In the procession of gifts during the mass, students delivered to the front of the church a globe, a lit candle, a Franco-Ontario flag and an Ecole Paul-Desmarais banner. During communion, grade nine Ecole Paul-Desmaris student Isabelle Hebert played music on the violin. The mass was completed at 2:21 p.m., after which the students and their teachers left the church to walk back to the school via the Trans Canada Trail, arriving there about 2:45 p.m. Principal Pourbaix-Kent noted that Holy Spirit Church was very welcoming to the school for this initial mass there. This warm welcome was also noted by Rev. Morin in a comment following the mass. See HOLY SPIRIT CHURCH, page 23

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Rev. Jean-Francois Morin, centre, background, standing in front of the altar, addresses students and staff from Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville in his homily at the school mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Iber Road on Friday afternoon, April 1.
Holy Spirit Church is within walking distance of Ecole Paul-Desmarais Continued from page 21
Principal Pourbaix-Kent said that it was a safe walk for the students along the Trans Canada Trail to get to the church. “We’ll go back for sure,” she said, while adding that future masses will depend on the availability of the church and on the availability as well of Rev. Morin. She noted that some high schools such as
Ecole Franco-Ouest are not able to celebrate school masses in a church because the nearest church is too far away, meaning that the expense of bussing would be involved. The new Ecole Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville is fortunate that Holy Spirit Catholic Church is within walking distance for students and staff. Ecole Paul-Desmarais will be celebrating some liturgies in the future right at the
school but there will also be future masses at the church which Principal Proubaix-Kent calls a “beautiful church.” Some students at the school do belong to Holy Spirit Parish. Leading up to his first-ever school mass for Ecole Paul-Desmarais at Holy Spirit Church, Rev. Morin visited various classrooms to explain the significance of various parts of the mass and why certain things
are done in the mass. This was to enhance the students’ experience when attending this school mass. Sister Mona Mreiche, the pastoral worker at Ecole Paul-Desmarais, was involved in the organization of the school mass, arranging for the student participation in the mass and working with Rev. Morin and fellow school staff in organizing the liturgy.

Next up for the Rockets were the Cornwall Typhoons in a game which the Rockets had to win to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Rockets came through, defeating Cornwall by a 6-2 score. Cambrie Lehmann of the Rockets led the way with a spectacular effort on the penalty kill as she scored a natural hat trick all on one shift while playing shorthanded. It was a dominating performance, all happening in less than two minutes. This helped the Rockets to the 6-2 victory. Abby Blauer of the Rockets scored on a Karlsson-esque rush up the ice while Emily O’Rourke had one of the other Rockets goals. This victory over Cornwall Typhoons sent the Rockets to the playoff round where the Rockets faced off against the host Kanata team. The Rockets emerged with the victory, 2-0, with Ashley Matheson scoring both goals. Violet MacEwen in the Rockets’ net shut out the Kanata shooters as the Rockets headed for the tournament final.

Anglican Church Women at St. Thomas hear about Centre 454 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Centre 454 was front and centre, as it were, at the April meeting of the Anglican Church Women (ACW) at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Centre 454 is a community ministry of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, offering a day program serving those who are precariously housed or homeless in the Ottawa area. Centre 454 provides support services, social recreation and essential needs such as laundry and shower opportunities. Jennifer Crawford, the executive director of Centre 454, was the guest speaker at the ACW meeting on Monday, April 4, explaining about the operation and services provided by Centre 454. “Our goal is to create a welcoming space for folks to be,” she said, noting that Centre 454 welcomes an average of 175 people a day. She explained that about 80 percent of clients are in housing but much of it is housing that is not well taken care of. She explained that while clients may not technically be homeless, they are constantly faced with decisions between paying a bill and providing a meal.
Ms. Crawford said that Centre 454 tries to be what she called a “living room” for these clients where they can feel comfortable and can access the services offered. The whole idea behind Centre 454 is to offer a safe space for men, women and children where they can experience community, friendship and peace and where they can develop new skills that will help them transform their lives. Centre 454 offers social supports such as daily activities and special events, practical sup-

ports such as laundry and shower facilities, telephone and mailbox services and essential clothing, counselling support, help in navigating the application process for the Ontario Disability Support Program and spiritual support including weekly prayer services. She explained that providing help in navigating the Ontario Disability Support Program is a major focus, with three staff currently dedicated to the role. She explained that the Ontario Disability Support Program entails an extensive application process involving support documents. Before Centre 454 provided help in this, applicants were usually denied on their initial application. But now, with Centre 454 help, applicants are usually getting an approval within three months. She explained that receiving financial help from the Ontario Disability Support Program helps clients financially, often allowing them to get a better place to live. Centre 454 serves an average of 1,200 cups of coffee each day along with tea, juice and nutritious snacks. Providing everyday needs such as razors, deodorant, toothbrushes, can openers and socks is another of Centre 454’s roles. “The greatest needs are the practical things we can’t keep up on,” Ms. Crawford said in reference to providing these everyday items and the demand for them from clients. At the April 4th meeting, the St. Thomas ACW provided Ms. Crawford not only with a financial donation for Centre 454 but also provided a quantity of shampoo and shower
gel collected from ACW members as well as from members of the St. Thomas congregation. Centre 454 employs 12 full time staff as well as 14 relief staff on weekends. Centre 454 also has about 250 active volunteers who help out in various roles including helping out in the kitchen or at the reception area and playing cards with clients. “We’d be lost without our volunteers as well,” Ms. Crawford said. Funding for Centre 454 comes from the city of Ottawa (about half) as well as from the Anglican Diocese and from donations both from Anglican parishes and from individuals in the community. It also has received grants from the federal government. Centre 454 began in 1954 on the initiative of the Council for Social Services of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, at that time providing support to Anglican men who were preparing for their release from jail and re-entry into society. This initial ministry has evolved over time as Centre 454 moved to support emerging needs in the community. As the services changed and expanded, new space requirements were accommodated at various downtown Anglican churches including St. Alban the Martyr at 454 King Edward Avenue. This is where the name “Centre 454” was born. In 2000, Centre 454 moved to 216 Murray Street near King Edward Avenue but in so doing, it retained its familiar name. In 2012, Centre 454 moved back to the St. Alban’s church basement at 454 King Edward Avenue.

Music, comedy and even romance at coffee house John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
There’s was lots of musical entertainment at the coffee house at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Thursday, April 7 but this one also included comedy and even romance. And don’t forget the audience selfie that MC’s Sam Linton and Kathryn Fitzgerald took in the second half of the show, having the house lights turned up so that the audience was illuminated for the selfie shot. It was Joel Rochon who provided the comedy break for the evening as he sat on the edge of the stage and recounted observations and told stories, all with the background musical accompaniment of Alyssa Glennie on the keyboard, initially playing softly as requested and later on playing more robustly in keeping with Joel’s story. Joel drew a number of laughs from the audience such as when he called the “game of life” a terrible board game. His windup story was about a mother and child who visited the ice cream stand where he was working and what ensued when the youngster demanded an ice cream. Ross Morgan, who not only was the lead singer for the Beagles band which began the coffee house show with three
songs but also was a solo performer midway through the first half of the show. He proved himself not only a singer but also quite an instrumentalist as he accompanied himself on the guitar while also playing the harmonica which was attached around his neck and, if this were not enough, he also had a musical rattle on his toe-tapping foot. As Ross ended his performance on stage, he turned romantic, asking Jessica who was in the audience if she would go to the prom with him. She responded yes and hurried up on the stage where the couple hugged. The guitar was, once again, front and centre at this coffee house, just like in previous coffee houses at the school, with most of the performances including a guitar. These performers included the keyboard/singing pair of Finn Johnson and Katherine Reid who presented “Love Fool”; Liam McGuire who sang two songs while accompanying himself on the guitar; singer Beth Walker who was accompanied on the keyboard by Morgan Nordskog; Kathryn Fitzgerald, another guitarist, who sang “Burning House”; Sam Linton singing while accompanied by Alyssa Glennie on keyboard; Shyvonne Rox-
borough, with her sultry, powerful voice, singing while accompanied by Alyssa Glennie on the keyboard; Shayla Palmer singing “Give Me Love” while also accompanying herself on the guitar; Brady Collier, another guitarist/singer who delivered two songs including the peppy “Why Don’t We Just Dance”; Maddie Refausse singing while accompanied by Matt Spafford on guitar; Maddie Stevens singing while accompanied by Alyssa Glennie on the keyboard; Noah Hunt singing two songs while accompanying himself on guitar; Vic Quirk singing and playing the guitar; Vic Quirk playing the guitar and singing along with Sam Linton; Vic Quirk playing the guitar as Amanda Seguin sang “Peter Pan”; Jaidan Stockill singing and playing the guitar; Maddie Refausse singing and playing the guitar while accompanied on vocals by Jaidan Stockill; Maddie Refausse singing and playing the guitar; and finally, Vic Quirk playing the guitar to accompany singers Sam Linton and Maddie Stevens. At the intermission, beverages including coffee from Baker’s Bean in Richmond were sold for one dollar each. In addition, there were baked JOHN CURRY/METROLAND goods available in return to a donation Liam McGuire sings as he accompanies himself on the to the help the Syrian refugee initiative guitar at the coffee house at South Carleton High School in in Richmond.

Paddleboards and even Voyageur canoe in Jock River Race John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
You had to be brave to steer a paddleboard down the 12.5 kilometer stretch from Munster Sideroad to Jock River Park in Richmond last Saturday, always facing the danger of plunging into the cold swollen waters of the Jock River in the annual Upper Jock River Paddling Race. But paddleboarders are obvi-
ously a hardy and brave bunch as several of them participated in this year’s race last Saturday. Sunny blue skies prevailed but it was a chilly minus seven degrees as the noon starting time approached at the start line on the river beside the Munster Sideroad south of Franktown Road. A constant breeze blowing downriver in this location made for even more challenging weather conditions. But paddlers showed up dressed
for the weather. And, indeed, some stood out in their dress as they wore costumes of one kind or another as a “Best Costume” category was added to the classes in this year’s race. You had first time race participants Lyn Garrah and Anna Graham dressed up like chefs, complete with the traditional chef’s hats. And since every entry must have a hand bailer, this pair even kept this in the chef theme, taking along a
cooking pot as a bailer. But there were others with costumes of one kind or another. There were reindeer antlers, deer head hats, a pirate and a paddler with an Indian-like head dress. And while not costume-related, one canoe entry had a dog along as a passenger. This year’s race saw canoes but there were also lots of kayaks and, of course, those paddleboards. There were 60 entries in total, with over 100 paddlers involved. This year’s race also saw the presence of a Voyageur canoe, manned by nine paddlers with a Canadian flag flying at its stern. This is why the race has an “Unlimited” class to accommodate canoes beyond the normal 17 to 18 ½ foot range. This was the first time that a Voyageur canoe was in this race on the Jock River.
The starting line again this year was a rope stretched across the river, with entrants leaving the starting line in groups of four, one minute apart. There was a portable digital clock set up at the starting line, giving the time of departure for each group. The course this year from the starting line to the finish line at the Jock River Park in Richmond had no downed trees impeding the entrants, it was reported. A nod was made to the chilly weather in that there was a heated tent located at Joy’s Road and also at the first set of rapids heading into Richmond at which paddlers could get warm if they so desired. At the finish line, there was hot chili and coffee available for the paddlers. See JOCK RIVER RACE, page 62

Another season over for Stittsville Men’s 30+ Hockey League Special to the News
It’s a true gentleman’s hockey league with a 40 year plus legacy in the community. It’s the Stittsville Men’s 30+ Hockey League (SMHL), a five-team league which prides itself on being a friendly and fair group of players whose average age is 47 years. But while perhaps being a little past their prime in terms of skill, these players still enjoy the exercise, camaraderie, fun and friendly competition that they find in a couple of games of hockey each week. The SMHL season came to a close with its playoff finals on Friday, April 1, followed by the league’s annual banquet on Saturday, April 2 at the Canadian Golf and Country Club. The 2015-16 season ended on Friday, April 1 with the final four teams “competing” for bragging rights. Team Green Machine, captained by Ryan Hertner, came out on top this year, with the players receiving the championship trophy and the traditional white SMHL “Champions” ball caps at the banquet the following night. In addition to honouring these playoff winners, the annual banquet also provided an opportunity to recognize best efforts over the course of the season and to celebrate the values of friendship, fun and sportsmanship which were founding principles when the league was established over 40 years ago and which are still promoted today. The top scorer award (scoring is tracked only during the playoffs) was won by Kyle Harrison who accumulated 17 points over the ten playoff games. This is the only league award which is not voted on by the league’s players. All of the other awards presented at the banquet are voted on by league members. The league’s MVP award went to Korey Harrison while the top forward award went to Todd Carriere. Defenseman of the year was Neil Jones while Craig St. Germain was the top goalie. Fred Bulmer received the most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player award. Sportsmanship is highly valued and practised by the players in this league, as indicated by the fact that 43 of the league’s 70 players were nominated for this most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player award. The most coveted award for the players is the John Shouldice Memorial Award which is voted on by league members. This award has everything to do with what the league tries to embody and represent each year,
Stittsville teams finish season on winning note Special to the News
Two Stittsville minor hockey teams have ended the season on a winning note. The Stittsville Atom C2 Snipers are the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League Atom C House League champions, defeating the Stittsville C1 Spartans in the all-Stittsville finals to win the championship. The Stittsville Atom C2 Snipers ended the season with a record of 20 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties. The Stittsville Peewee C Titans won the Rogers House Year End Tournament, winning four straight games. The Stittsville Peewee C Titans defeated the West End Gladiators, the Carleton Place Kings, the Iqaluit Blizzards (in overtime) and the South End Sharp Shooters to capture the tournament championship.
namely the forging of lifetime friendships and enjoying the fun of the game of hockey. John Shouldice was a Stittsville resident and long time SMHL player who died of cancer in June 2002. He truly represented a gentleman’s league hockey player and so each year the league remembers his legacy with a toast and the presentation of the John Shouldice Memorial Award. It is a unique trophy which features one of John’s skates which has been bronzed. Kevin Cinq-Mars received this John Shgouldice Memorial Award this year as the person who has best represented the spirit
of the league for 2015-2016. Kevin is a great community person who is always quick to put the puck in the net but who is equally quick to joke or chirp fellow players in jest. Kevin captain the blue team this past season, demonstrating his leadership skills. The SMHL plays late nights on Tuesdays and Fridays at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. Seventy players from the Stittsville area make up the teams in the five-team league. The 2015-16 season saw four new “rookies” join the league while also seeing three former players return to the league.

Q: A friend tells me that he used a family trust to multiply the use of the lifetime capital gains exemption and saved a lot of tax on the sale of his business. Is a family trust useful for my business? There are many types and uses of trusts. In essence, a trust is a contractual relationship in which one or more persons (trustees) hold property on behalf of another group of persons (beneficiaries). Family trusts, also known as discretionary family trusts, are a particular type of trust widely used to hold shares of private business corporations. In the typical discretionary family trust, the trustees are the parents (and often one additional trusted friend or relative) and the income and capital beneficiaries are the parents, their children, grandchildren and remoter relatives, if desired. The trust acquires shares of the active business corporation pursuant to a corporate re-organization, resulting in income to the trust out of dividends from the corporation, and capital gains on disposition of the shares of the corporation. Since income and capital gains retain their character for tax purposes when distributed through a trust, significant tax savings About Allan Snelling

may be realized when proceeds are distributed among family members whose marginal tax rates are lower, or to family members who have not previously used their lifetime capital gains exemption. Discretionary family trusts also serve other purposes, including business succession and asset protection. If properly set up, a discretionary family trust may also be “unwound” simply and without adverse tax consequence. Under the Income Tax Act, a discretionary family trust is deemed to have disposed of its property every 21 years. This deemed disposition gives rise to a taxable capital gain within the trust, if the property has appreciated in value. Typically a discretionary family trust is wound up before 21 years to avoid the application of the deeming provision. There are significant tax and legal complexities and traps associated with setting up and using discretionary family trusts. Legal and accounting advice should be obtained.

Ashton is losing its community meeting place John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
For many over the last five years, the Ashton General Store has been like a home away from home, a place to meet and chat with friends and neighbours. It has not only been the community’s post office and a place to enjoy a fresh baked treat with coffee but it has been the community meeting place. But now it is going to be this no longer as the Ashton General Store will be closing on Friday, April 22 as its lease is up and there is no renewal forthcoming as the building is up for sale and it’s to be sold with no tenant in place. For Ashton General Store owner Sylvie Pignal, this marks the end of a five year tenure that saw her triple the store’s sales and clientele by focussing on a business plan that involved making it a place where community residents felt welcomed and where local products such as jams, jellies and crafts could be sold. The plan called for an on-premises bakery, daily preparation of fresh sandwiches and a soup of the day. It saw Sylvie herself be at the store at 2 a.m. or so to begin preparation of the sandwiches and food, so that everything would be ready for the 5 a.m. opening. Regulars would even get a sticker on their sandwiches, with their name on it and with a reminder that the food was made “with love.” “I feel I brought the community together,” Sylvie says about her approach to running the store, adding that what has happened in the impending closure of the store is “so sad.”
She set out to make it into an old fashioned general store where the community would feel at home. This is what has happened and now it is all going to be gone with the closure of the store. “We’re disappointed for the community,” Sylvie’s husband Jean Pignal says, recounting how the store has become a community hub. The choirs from both of the churches in Ashton assembled at the store at Christmas time for some carolling with food and drink provided by the store. Governor General David Johnston and his wife spent four hours visiting at the store and indeed their photo can be found among the myriad of photographs
on display behind glass on the kitchenlike table at the front of the store around which community members gather daily for coffee and conversation. Another of these photographs shows the folks from CTV’s Regional Contact show who featured the Ashton General Store in a piece on the oldest such general stores in the area. Birthday parties and anniversaries are both regular occurrences at the Ashton General Store as patrons are treated on their birthdays or special occasions. The Ashton General Store also has a “lending library” section where patrons can grab a book and take it home to read,
bringing it back when finished. When building owner Bill Patterson passed away last fall, precipitating this lease crisis which has led to the store’s closing, the store was jammed with well wishers at a memorial celebration of his life which was held there. Sylvie is not letting Bill be forgotten as she is donating to the Goulbourn Museum in memory of Bill the store’s historic postal wicket as well as its postal cancellation stamp hammer and well-worn felt pad, along with a history of the post office’s activity dating back to 1858, making it one of the oldest in Canada.

Closing means loss of post office Continued from page 41
The store’s closing, of course, means that Ashton is losing its post office outlet in the community after more than about 150 years in the location. Indeed, it was the post office perhaps more than anything else that best represented the way that Sylvie incorporated the old with the new, the way that she fostered and encouraged the qualities and characteristics of the traditional historic general store with today’s modern need for efficient, friendly service. The historic postal wicket is there in the store, front and centre, impossible to miss as you enter the front door. But right behind it is all of the modern computer technology required in a modern post office of today. So, while the past is honoured and remembered thanks to the historic wicket, the present is served in the most modern of ways thanks to the up-do-date postal equipment right be-
hind it. Jean Pignal, who works in the federal government, goes on to note that Sylvie’s dream was to open and operate this Ashton General Store, making it the community meeting place that it has become. He said that he and Sylvie are not interested in opening a variety store elsewhere because it was and is the Ashton General Store, their community store with its long history, that they wanted to operate. Betty Lewis of Ashton is one person who can tell you a lot about the store’s history because she grew up living above the store as her father, Alvin McKay, operate the store from 1950 to 1962. She knows all about the groceries and hardware which were sold there in those years and how customers played cards there at night. See NO MORE COFFEE, page 44

No more coffee, chats for community residents Continued from page 43
Ken Campbell of Ashton, who will be celebrating his 60th wedding anniversary this June, remembers the Ashton General Store well in previous days but also harbours good feelings about the store today, calling it a “friendly, very friendly” place where a person can have a muffin and coffee and chat with others from the community. “We feel awfully sorry about it closing,” he says. “We’re going to miss it.” Ken’s wife Joan is one of those in the community who has provided local crafts which have been sold at the store. Shirley Fee is another who has visited the store over the years and who likes what it has become which she calls a nice place for seniors to gather to start their day. June Arthur, who lives on the Flewellyn Road, has been coming to the Ashton General Store with her husband Don where they enjoy coffee and a chat with others. She credits Sylvie with bringing the store back from virtually nothing and making it into the community meeting place that it is now. She laments that she and Don will now have to have coffee at home or at Tim Hortons in Stittsville. “Nothing can take the place of this store,” she says. And her husband Don admits to be extremely disappointed that the store is closing, saying that it is a place where everyone gets
to know each other. “It’s like it’s coming home,” he says about visiting the store, adding that you feel good there as everyone has a smile and a greeting for you. “It’s just like sitting at home,” he adds. And if you have forgotten your money, no problem – you can pay for your coffee the next time that you are in, he notes. David Thorsell, who has lived at Ashton for 48 years, praises Sylvie for making the Ashton General Store such a community gathering place. “What she has brought into this atmosphere has made a difference,” he says And he notes that it is not only community members who have been served but also others such as the many cyclists who pass through Ashton, stopping at the Ashton General Store for a rest and refreshments such as a banana. He says that for local residents, the Ashton General Store has become a place to hang out and visit with friends, with lots of laughs happening. There’s not many places like this any more, he points out, saying that such an atmosphere cannot be found in any convenience store or restaurant. Tom Cavanagh of Cavanagh Construction, which has its headquarters just up the Ashton Station Road from the Ashton General Store, admits that he does not like to see the store closing, saying that his staff pur-

chases a lot of sandwiches there during the summer. As someone who grew up in the Ashton/ Munster area, Tom remembers coming to the Ashton General Store and post office. Now, he usually drops in around 7 a.m. to grab a coffee and a newspaper. He points out that homeowners in the new residential housing that is being built on the Beckwith side of the Ashton Station Road in Ashton are now going to have no local store to visit.
“It’s just too bad seeing it closed,” Tom says about the Ashton General Store. And Tom is not the only one disappointed in seeing the store closing. Sylvie’s Ashton General Store Facebook page received over 21,000 views between the time that the news was put up on the page at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13 and 2 p.m. on the following day. “So many comments, so many memories,” Sylvie says about the many comments left on the page. “So many affected,” she sighs.

A store and post office have been at the site of the current Ashton General Store even before the current stone building was built around 1879. The first store on the site was opened by John Sumner in a log frame building there in 1841. In 1851, he became Ashton’s first postmaster with the post office set up in the store. John Sumner and his son James continued to operate the store and post office until 1874 when the store was sold to James Conn. In 1879, this initial log building at the site was destroyed by fire, bringing about the construction of a two-storey stone building that housed the general store and post office as well as a tailor shop on the second floor. In 1908, the building was sold to the Jinkinson family with the store being run by a Mr. Graham and a Mr. Fleming. Once again fire broke out and the building had to be rebuilt, using the existing stone walls. In the 1920’s, A.L. Tubman operated the store and post office while also serving as an undertaker. Since 1929, the building has been the site of a general store and post office, right up to the present, although the post office was relocated from the site for the years 1983 to 1989. The current building at this northeast corner of Flewellyn Road and Ashton Station Road features stone walls with contrasting quoins on its corners along with a mansard roof with dormer windows.
The “Mom to Mom Sale” this Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon hosted by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds beside the Richmond arena will feature “mom vendors” offering a wide variety of items that will add to a youngster’s fun and enjoyment.

Live auction at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Continued from page 46
Or if rest and relaxation are what you are looking for, what about a week of rest and relaxation at a cottage on Clayton Lake courtesy of Tom and Joanna McDougall. If you are really looking to get away from it all, there will be a one week time share in Kissimmee, Florida provided courtesy of Clint and Gwen Gaebel. Or if you are looking for a unique experience, what about an afternoon boat cruise for four people on the Rideau sometime in August, leaving from Portland at 1 p.m. and including a barbecue supper on board the 35 foot boat. You can’t get this anywhere else but it will be available in this live auction thanks to Jim and Linda MacKelvie. If you are a gardener, you might want to submit a bid on one of three $150 gift certificates for three cubic yards of screened topsoil delivered to your home in the area courtesy of Ron Moore. Or perhaps you could use some backhoe, mini-excavator or bobcat work done. The live auction will include among its offerings a $340 gift card for four hours of backhoe, mini-excavator or bobcat rental work including an operator from T.G. Carroll Cartage Ltd. If you are a fan of the iconic singer James Taylor, you could be at the Canadian Tire Centre on Friday, May 6 listening to him perform. That’s because the auction includes two tickets for this James Taylor concert at the Canadian Tire Centre and these are good seats, in the 200 level. Or if you are a fan of the Juno awarding
winning group Hedley, you could bid on two tickets for the group’s upcoming concert at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday, April 23. And these are tickets in the 100 level. What an experience that would be! There is a whole host of items that will be auctioned off. These will include a five foot by eight foot carpet from Alexanian Flooring valued at $899.99; a $400 gift card to be used towards the purchase of a shed from Kodiak; driving and in-class lessons from the Extra Mile Driving School; a ten week program from Greco; a $400 gift certificate from Main Street Optical; a $105 gift card to be used towards a batch of wine from Wine Villa; and a maritime seafood dinner for six with a wine pairing thanks to auctioneer Colin McKeown and his wife Heather.

Perfect lifestyle for all types of people
KANATA AND STITTSVILLE
Ottawa’s west end still a fast growing community Jen Traplin Known for its bountiful green spacaes, booming high-tech industry, popular attractions like the Canadian Tire Centre (home of the Ottawa Senators) and the Diefenbunker, as well as a wide array of residential communities, the City of Ottawa’s west end offers the perfect lifestyle for just about anyone. The area has enjoyed steady growth for decades, particularly in Kanata, one of Ottawa’s largest suburbs, and Stittsville, which lies just west of Kanata and roughly 30 minutes from the downtown core. 15 years ago, before Kanata became part of the amalgamated City of Ottawa, it was one of
the fastest growing communities in Canada, a trend that continues to this day. More than 80,000 Ottawa residents now call Kanata home and the area is constantly expanding, not just in terms of residential development but business as well. Kanata North houses many of the major hitech employers in Ottawa, including Cisco Systems, Inc., Blackberry and Mitel, and rumours continue to swirl about Apple setting up shop in the same business park, the largest research and tech park in the country. Just a few kilometres west is Stittsville, which started as a sleepy farming community in the 1800s and has since transformed into a bustling suburb, while still managing to hang onto its village charm. Recently, the City of Ottawa released a Community Design Plan for Stittsville, which aims to preserve the heritage status of the area while also transforming it into a modern and more walkable community.

Big city living with village charm WESTERN SUBURB
The past ten years has seen big changes for Stittsville Jen Traplin One of the Ottawa region’s best kept secrets is the small, western suburb of Stittsville, which offers all of the luxuries of big city living while still holding onto its historic village charm. In the past decade, the population of Stittsville has exploded as the area has undergone a massive transformation. “There are a lot of new businesses coming in and there are a ton of new people. We’re over 30,000 people in Stittsville,� says Glen Gower, vice president of the Stittsville Village Association. “It’s really changed in the last five years.� During that time, there has been a steady stream of new residential builds and several big box stores — like Michaels, Winners and Lowe’s — have moved into new retail locations along the now widened Hazeldean Road. “On one hand, you’re getting these really big businesses and chain stores and, at the same time, we’re getting a lot of really interesting, locally owned small businesses as well,� Gower says. “I’m thinking of places like Covered Bridge
Ottawa-born musician Kathleen Edwards opened Quitters Coffee in Stittsville. CONTRIBUTED
Brewing, a craft brewer on Iber Road, or Quitters Coffee, owned by Kathleen Edwards, and a lot of other small businesses like the food trucks coming in.� Of course, at the heart of Stittsville’s draw is
its village charm. Many of the buildings along Stittsville Main Street are designated heritage status. While some have been preserved, others have been neglected, creating a bit of a turning point, in terms of Stittsville’s identity.
“I think Stittsville is still figuring out what kind of community it really is. Is it a little bit outside of Ottawa -- that idea that it’s a bit beyond the fringe? Or is it a modern suburb? I don’t know,� admits Gower.

MARY COOK Memories The spring hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie was waiting for us at the station in Renfrew. The stationmaster had called; a man of few words, and all he said was, “It’s here.” We knew exactly what he was talking about. It would mean a trip into Renfrew with the flat-bottomed wagon. The wooden box, which had one time held bulk tea and was lined with a heavy silver kind of paper, was much too big for the buggy. So the team was hitched to the wagon, and Father made the 12 and a half-mile trip into Renfrew. It was almost suppertime by the time we saw Father come in the lane. With the three brothers helping, the big box was heaved into the kitchen, where it would sit until our evening meal was over, the kitchen redded up, and our hands washed. I could never understand why we all had to wash our hands before we could touch an old and badly marked-up box that came all the way from Regina on the CPR train.
Connected to your community
Hand-me-down box arrived with a surprise Very seldom was there anything in the box besides boy’s clothes and well-worn men’s suits and shirts from Uncle Jack. It was like my sister Audrey and I didn’t even exist, as far as Aunt Lizzie was concerned. Sometimes, there was a piece of material for Mother, or a pair of high-heeled shoes, which fit no one in our family. That night, sitting around the box, as Everett pried off the lid with the crowbar, in my mind’s eye, I thought we looked just like my Sunday school class at the Lutheran Church at Northcote ... all in a circle around Miss Kallies. And it wasn’t any more exciting either! Why Audrey and I even bothered to sit and wait for the box to be unpacked was beyond me! Well, were we in for a surprise! Sitting on the very top of the pile of clothes was a big red leghorn hat. (I had no idea why they were called leghorn hats, since I thought a leghorn was a hen running around in the barnyard!) But, yes, there it was, one of Aunt Lizzie’s
hats. She loved red, and Audrey said that’s why it was Mother’s least favourite colour. The crown of the hat was mashed down as flat as a pancake by the lid of the box, but the brim was in perfect condition. I thought the hat would be perfect for the days my little friend Velma and I dressed up in our mother’s clothes to play house. Well, Mother had a different idea. It was like someone had just handed to her a $100 bill! She went right to the mirror at the back door, wearing the hat. My sister let out a snicker. “Mother, you can’t wear that with the crown all smashed down,” she said. A flat crown was not going to stop Mother from wearing the hat, and she went right to the wood box where a stack of Renfrew Mercury newspapers were at the ready, and scrunched up several and crammed them into the hat. Right before our eyes we could see the hat transformed into something that would only be seen on the head of one of Renfrew’s richest women. I knew the hat would be going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday! And it did. And it certainly caught the attention of the other ladies. Many complimented Mother, which pleased me no end. We took our pew and Father had to move over from Mother, because the wide brim of
the hat caught him square in the face when she turned her head. So I sat beside her, taking many a look at Aunt Lizzie’s hat that had found new life out there in Renfrew county. Half way through the sermon, I glanced at the hat, and poking out, just above Mother’s ear, was a good sized piece of the Renfrew Mercury advertising silk bloomers at .20 cents a pair. I was torn. Should I try to stuff the piece back into the hat, tell Mother what was happening, or let nature take its course? I decided to poke the paper back into the hat, which caused Mother to glare down at me as if I had committed some deadly sin. I whispered to her, as quietly as I could what was happening, which caused the minister to glare down at me, but I could tell Mother was grateful. Heaven forbid that the entire Lutheran Church know that her beautiful leghorn hat was stuffed with the Renfrew Mercury! She never wore the hat again, but Velma and I were thrilled to prance around the house in it, pretending we were one of those rich women from the town of Renfrew, who bought eggs and butter from our Mothers every Saturday.

Jock River Race dates back to 1971 Continued from page 38
The coffee was provided by CC’s Corner coffee shop in Richmond while the food including hot chilli, soup, muffins and water was provided thanks to King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond. Other sponsors involved in this year’s race included ForceFive Media for hosting the website, GT Triangle Signs for the entry numbers on the canoes, kayaks and paddleboards, G&I Automotive for providing the shuttle service back to the starting line for the races to pick up their parked vehicles there, the RA Canoe Camping Club for providing the sweep boat team and various bib sponsors. There were also numerous volunteers who helped out in staging the race. Given the late spring, water levels were up in the river for this year’s race. The race route starts at the Munster Sideroad. There is a shallow rapid a few minutes downstream from the start line, followed by a chute of
fast water. It’s then a fairly placid journey through open fields for a few kilometers before several sharp bends signal the beginning of the Richmond Fen wetland. Once the fen is negotiated successfully, the river widens considerably. There’s a long class one rapid before the church steeples of Richmond come into view. There is then another long set of class one rapids after which the finish line looms. This Jock River race traces its history back to 1971 when it began as a white water race on the lower Jock River from Richmond downstream to the Rideau River. In the year 2000, the race was moved to its current course on the upper Jock River above Richmond. The city of Ottawa sponsored the race from the time of amalgamation in 2001 to 2003. The former township of Goulbourn sponsored the Upper Jock River Race for a number of years leading up to the municipal amalgamation in 2001.

Brush fire brings reminder about open burning Special to the News
A brush fire grew from a single alarm fire to a two alarm fire to a three alarm fire, all in less than an hour on Tuesday, April 5. It happened on a property on Franktown Road in the area of Ashton Station Road and Silver Fox Way. The Ottawa Fire Services received a call reporting the brush fire at 12:15 p.m. and while en route, the firefighters were informed that the fire was affecting an area of 30 feet by 20 feet. However, the first crews arriving at the scene noted that the size of the grass fire required a two alarm response and quickly activated additional equipment. At 12:56 p.m., the commander on site reported that the size of the grass fire had grown to a couple of acres. The fire was subsequently confirmed as a three alarm fire at 1:10 p.m. There were some structures near the fire
that had to be protected by the firefighters as a precaution. Fire hoses sprayed these structures to keep them wet and decrease their vulnerability to heat and possible fire. The Ottawa Fire Services reminds all residents to obtain burn permits for any fires and also to follow the rules and regulations associated with open burning. The Ottawa Fire Services reminds everyone that it is essential that all outdoor fires be closely supervised. If a person has a concern that a fire is growing too rapidly and that it may get out of control, please contact Ottawa Fire Services immediately for assistance. Also, when burning, a person should have a hose, a bucket of water or a shovel and dirt or sand available nearby to extinguish the fire if needed. Ottawa Fire Services also advised to avoid burning on windy, dry days. When conditions are windy or dry, it is easy for open burning to spread out of control.

Ottawa Ice, the Kanata Rangers finished first in playoff round robin play including victories over the team’s friendly rivals the Nepean Wildcats AA team as well as over the Ottawa Ice AA team.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
