Pair from Goulbourn develop ‘Seed Haven’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s a new product called Seed Haven that has been developed to maximize yield from vegetable and herb gardens. And it has been conceived, developed and brought to market by a pair of retired residents in Heritage Corners in Goulbourn. Neighbours Peter Jordan, a retired engineer, and Harley Lane, a retired accountant, used to take fitness walks around the community together. Their conversation frequently turned to the damage being done to their garden vegetables from crawling pests. The talk turned to how they could design some sort of barrier to prevent such damage. Eventually they produced a sheet metal prototype that Peter tried out in 2012 with amazing results. He tried it again the next year with the same results. The crops gave a better yield and were not being eaten by bugs. So, with these results over two years, Peter and Harley decided to do something to develop such a product further. They got a Canadian patent and trade marked the name “Seed Haven” which had been suggested by Peter’s wife Peggy. R0013180991-0319

“Seed Haven” was incorporated as a company and the search was on for a manufacturer. Eventually they approached L-D Tool and Die right in Stittsville and an agreement was struck. A mould was made in China and now the product is being manufactured right on Iber Road in Stittsville, with the first production run happening this past February. Peter and Harley both took to the road and visited hardware stores, garden centres and other possible outlets in Eastern Ontario, signing them up to sell the product. The ideal time for this “Seed Haven” product to be on display in stores and at garden centres is when seeds are being introduced for the season. Peter and Harley also prepared a video and brochures related to Seed Haven which has a suggested retail price of $24.95 although a current limited time offer is selling the Seed Haven for $19.97. Peter believes that sales in the stores and garden centres currently signed up to carry Seed Haven will lead to the product being carried by some of Canada’s larger chains like Canadian Tire and Costco.

patterns. Peter notes that Seed Haven is easy to use – put it an inch and a half in the ground, put in the stakes that come with it to hold it in place and then plant. Peter and Harley have other ideas to add to the Seed Haven. A transparent top to allow for earlier planting and a screened top to keep flying pests away from the plants are two of these ideas. But right now they want to get the Seed Haven off the ground and selling before turning their attention to any additional products. The Seed Haven is manufactured with the highest quality UV stabilized non BPA plastic. If it is removed from the sunlight when not in use and is stored out of the sun, it should provide years of service. A major challenge for selling the product is to ensure that possible customers realize that it is not a planter although it may look like one. Its role is to provide a naturally safe environment in which vegetables and herbs can thrive from seeds or transplants to

newly planted seed with it. With Seed Haven, the rain is captured within the limits of the product and does not run off but soaks down into the soil, helping the plants growing there. The Seed Haven, with its white interior sides, results in more sunlight on the plants. Indeed, plants receive up to 78 percent more reflected light from these white sides, accelerating early growth of the plants. This makes the plant stronger and better able to withstand any future poor weather conditions. The bottom of the sides of the rectangular Seed Haven is buried one and a half inches into the soil. This prevents pests from burrowing into the interior of the Seed Haven. In addition, the Seed Haven features a unique lip around its top over which crawling pests such as earwigs cannot maneuvre. Indeed, it is this lip that is the main design feature of Seed Haven and which makes it unique in the marketplace as a product which prevents damage to vegetables and herbs from crawling pests. Planting in Seed Haven is recommended to be done following the square foot gardening technique which in reality gives the 32 inch by 11 1/5 inch by 4.8 inch deep Seed Haven more planting space than would be expected from traditional planting

as protect your vegetables and herbs, harvest. But as well Seed Haven will maximize their quantity and quality. This is done by minimizing damage from slugs, earwigs and crawling pests, by focussing sunlight to produce more growth and by capturing nutrient rich rain water. One benefit is that it is a pesticide free way of gardening pest-free. It is quick and easy to install in a garden and it is reusable year after year. Seed Haven is now available at select Home Hardware, Rona, Your Independent Grocer and garden centre locations across Eastern Ontario. To find where Seed Haven is available for sale, visit www.seedhaven.ca. For more information, please phone 613-858-4836 or email info@seedhaven.ca .

Everyone thinks it’s a great idea and we have to show that it sells, Peter says. What makes Seed Haven so special is that it has a patented pesticide free design that prevents crawling pests such as earwigs, slugs, pill/sowbugs, millipedes and cutworms from reaching seedlings and plants. But Seed Haven has other advantages for those growing vegetables and herbs. Downpours of rain are becoming more common and such downpours do little to irrigate the soil because much of the water simply runs off, sometimes carrying

Robert Dueck, far right, music director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, directs the group as it performs at the Stittsville Retirement Community by Revera (former Stittsville Villa) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon.

Broadway tunes in performance john.curry@metroland.com

News - Residents of the community are going to have to wait until Saturday, April 25 to hear the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus in performance but residents of the Stittsville Retirement Community by Revera (Stittsville Villa) got a jump on the overall community as they were entertained by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus last Sunday afternoon. The chorus, under the direction of Robert Dueck of Stittsville, presented a program of about a dozen songs, many taken from Broadway shows but others from the 1950’s and 1960’s like “My Special Angel” by Bobby Helms in 1957 and “Chapel of Love” by the Dixie Cups in 1964. Some of these were a preview of songs that will be presented in the group’s upcoming concert on Saturday, April 25. Among the songs from Broadway musicals sung at the Stittsville Retirement Community

last Sunday afternoon were “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man” from Show Boat, “Edelweiss” from Sound of Music and “Sunrise, Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof. Stittsville Retirement Community residents filled the lounge area at the Stittsville Main Street residence to hear the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus last Sunday afternoon. It was one of several pre-concert “sing outs” which the group is doing in the time leading up to the April 25th concert. At this “sing out” last Sunday at the Stittsville Retirement Community, Margo Smith was the group’s accompanist, substituting for the group’s regular accompanist. The group also was assisted in the performance by Crystal Payne on flute and Beverly McKillop on clarinet. The upcoming concert on Saturday, April 25 entitled “Sweet Serenade – A Dessert Musicale” will feature 75 minutes of uninterrupted music followed by a refreshment time of sweet goodies provided by the Chorus members

themselves. This concert will be presented on Saturday, April 25 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata, just north of Hazeldean Road. Tickets for the concert are now on sale at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata and at Robin’s Nest at 98 Mill Street in Almonte. Cost of the tickets is $15 per person, although there is free admission for those aged 12 and under. Tickets will also be available at the door if tickets still remain. Early purchase of tickets in advance is recommended to ensure a ticket.

Free Admission

News –It’s Masquerade Ball time in Stittsville. This Masquerade Ball, a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, is happening this Saturday, April 18 from 7:30 p.m. to 12 midnight at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. It’s going to feature a professional DJ, dance contests, a silent auction, a canteen and more including masks of all kinds. This Masquerade Ball is all the initiative of South Carleton High School grade 11 student Colleen Cooligan who organized an initial Dance for the Cancer Cure fundraiser last year, raising $2,500 for the Canadian Cancer Society, and is now organizing a second annual one, this time adopting a Masquerade Ball theme. People of all ages are welcome to attend and, in addition, masks and costumes are optional. It is far more important to be there and support the cause than not attend because of a lack of a mask and costume. The Stittsville District Lions Club has donated the use of the Lions Hall for the event this year. Last year Colleen staged the event at the Kanata Legion as her grandfather is a member there and she was familiar with the site since she has volunteered a lot at the bingos there which are organized by her grandfather. But this year she wanted to relocate the event closer to Stittsville and Goulbourn so that it is a more convenient location for her family and friends and her fellow students at South Carleton. Colleen decided to organize last year’s initial event and carry on again this year because her grandmother died from cancer and her grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, although he is now in remission. Colleen is also motivated by a desire to help people and this fits right in with that desire. Colleen is hoping to raise at least $2,500 again this year, although she admits that it would be nice to top last year’s mark. Tickets for this year Dance for the Cancer Cure Masquerade Ball at the Lions Hall are $10 each and are available in advance or at the door. There is a maximum of $30 for a family to attend. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society are also being accepted. This can be done online by going to http://convio.cancer.ca/goto/danceforcancercure . For more information about the upcoming Dance for the Cancer Cure Masquerade Ball at the Lions Hall in Stittsville this Saturday, April 18, please call 613-8382813 or email danceforthecancercure@gmail.com .

Let sentries stand proud

O

n a day when Canada remembered its proudest military moment, which took place on April 9, 1917 at Vimy Ridge, the country once again showed how petty politics and over-bearing bureaucracy continues to reduce the legacy of our Armed Forces to a shadow of its former self. Why it makes more sense to post Ottawa police officers at the National War Memorial to protect the National Sentries standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – at a cost of $425,000 this year – than it does to simply hand loaded weapons to these trained military men and women is baffling. According to the Department of National Defence, it doesn’t have jurisdiction over the site. Well, perhaps rather than dishing out close to half a million dollars a year to protect the protectors, why not change the jurisdiction? Surely both the federal government and City of Ottawa could come up with a reasonable solution along those lines, in light of the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo last October. Some might worry about the presence of armed

members of the military in the capital, but what makes a soldier less trustworthy with weapons than police? Do soldiers, if provided appropriate training, pose some threat to our democracy? We don’t live under a military junta and it’s highly unlikely we ever will. Providing a couple of soldiers performing a ceremonial duty the means to protect themselves will hardly sow the seeds of a Dr. Strangelove-esque catastrophe. Canada’s service men and women have been bearing the brunt of our political inadequacies for some time now. All one needs to do is to look at the way our veterans are treated or at the once-againdeplorable state of the Forces themselves following Canada’s withdrawal from Afghanistan to see the rot. The last thing Canada needs to do, especially in plain view of a monument to the legacy and bravery of its soldiers, is hire guardians to protect the guardians. Just give the brave men and women at the National War Memorial the means to protect themselves and let them stand proud.

T

he Ontario government, according to a recent news item, “is speeding up the process for closing schools, as part of a crackdown on publicly funded boards with too many classrooms sitting empty.� Reflecting that, the government indicates that only two public meetings, instead of four, need to be held before a school closes, and the review need only take five months instead of seven. Some people will see that as good news. The notion of lazy or stubborn boards wasting taxpayers’ dollars by keeping useless schools open is repugnant to those who make saving the taxpayers’ dollar the top priority. But there are other priorities that deserve at least a thought before we

Those neighbourhood groups and parent groups that insist on having their say may seem like annoying hindrances to efficient decisionmaking, but they have rights, not to mention children. Further, they have local knowledge that the authorities should treasure rather than resent. A third priority is neighbourhood. The school is the centre of the neighbourhood.

Ontario. “A school is the hub of a community,� she said. “When you close a school, that community has lost a draw for anybody to ever come back.� It may be only a coincidence, but the authorities in the Globe quoted in favour of speeding up the closing process were school board people. The people opposed represented municipal interests. They would be more inclined to recognize the neighbourhood consequences. A so-called under-utilized school is not empty. It could just under two-thirds full. Those who want to shut it down say the money could better be spent on programs. But there is more to a school than programs. A school can have great programs, but if it is overcrowded, the educational benefits will be diluted. At one point, the Ontario government seemed to recognize this.

Memories of Museum building wanted John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux sings and accompanies himself on the guitar as her performs at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday.

Wanted: Memories of the current Goulbourn Museum building in its past life as the Goulbourn township hall. Built in 1873 to replace the original Goulbourn township hall at Mansfield which had burned down in a fire in 1872, this hall served not only as the local for council meetings but also served as a community hall of sorts, hosting dances, election balloting, concerts and 4H meetings, among other activities. If you have any memories or stories about attending an event at the hall, be it a council meeting or a community dance or some other activity, the Goulbourn Museum would like to hear from you. That’s because this year is the 25th year that the Goulbourn Museum has been located in the building and the Museum is planning to celebrate this significant achievement. The Museum would like to hear from anyone who has a memory or story about the hall, no matter how big or small a memory. These are going to be compiled by the Museum to help tell the story of the history of the building before it became the Museum in 1990. Please contact the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or by email at info@goulbournmuseum.ca . The Museum is also looking for any old photos that might be around showing the building during its life as

the Goulbourn township hall. Even if it is only a photo of the former adjacent St. Thomas Anglican Church showing the township hall or even part of the township hall in the background – that’s a photo that the Museum would like to see. This building that is now the Goulbourn Museum served as the township hall until an office building was built beside it in 1961 after Stittsville became a separated village on its own. This new building served as the township office until 1974 when a new Goulbourn municipal building was built a little farther south on Huntley Road. This Goulbourn Museum building is a wood frame building but it was clad in cement block from Jonathan Stanley’s cement factory at Stanley’s Corners sometime after 1915 and perhaps in 1928 when a small addition was added to the rear of the building. Shortly after the building was built, it was given a rather unfavourable review in Belden’s Atlas of 1879 when it was describing Goulbourn township. This review reads as follows: “In 1873, John Scott was Reeve, Hiram Sykes, Deputy, and James Shannon, John Kemp and James Simpson, Councillors. During this year the new Town Hall was erected at Rathwell’s Corners, a very ordinary wooden structure, which still stands, but not as a monument to the liberality of the Council of 1873 or a credit to the Township.” Rathwell’s Corners later became known as Stanley’s Corners.

Country sounds at Gaia Java shop Special to the News

The country flavoured sounds of Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at the shop’s music evening last Friday. Accompanying himself on the guitar, Jimmy, a Stittsville resident, entertained the audience with a broad range of familiar and some not so familiar tunes. This included songs from the Beatles, Elvis and even an audience participation version of Roger Miller’s iconic “King of the Road” song. Besides the music, Jimmy kept the listeners engaged with a stream of jokes, many on the subject of coffee. So, it was a most entertaining evening all around. Jimmy frequently hosts open mic

nights around the Ottawa area. His CD, “Hey Lonesome,” which he recorded at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto, features 11 original tracks in the “hurtin’ country songs” style. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival at the coffee shop is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, April 17, the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop will feature singer Mary Frances who will be presenting show tunes from various musicals. She will be accompanied on keyboard by musician John McGovern.

The Goulbourn Museum building on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners was built in 1873 and served as the Goulbourn township hall as well as being the site for dances and other events. The Goulbourn Museum is looking for any stories or memories which area residents may have about this building before it became the Goulbourn Museum in 1990.

Stittsville PeeWee B4 Vikings are playoff champions Special to the News

Losing three of their first four games of the season and sitting in second last place. Not good. Winning the 16 team Arnprior tournament in mid-November. Now, that’s a team whose players are coming together. Going undefeated in Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League (LCMHL) play for the rest of the season. Awesome. Finishing the regular season with a record of 20 wins, 3 losses and 7 ties and a record of two wins and two ties in the playoffs. Spectacular. But this is what happened in the 2014-2015 season for the Stittsville PeeWee B4 Vikings who capped off the season with the playoff championship in their LCMHL division. It was, indeed, quite a season for a Vikings team that was comprised entirely of first year Minor PeeWee players (born in 2003). These players never gave up and showed a lot of character in their many very close games throughout the season. Winning the playoff championship in their LCMHL division was not easy for the Stittsville PeeWee B4 Vikings as they went up against the first place finishing Stittsville B1 Warriors in the final series which proved to be very close and, yes, very exciting. The LCMHL playoff championship is decided with the winning team being the first team to accumulate four points on the basis of two points for a win and one point for a tie. In the first game of the championship series, the Vikings led the Warriors 3-1 going into the third period. Action in the third period was back

and forth with the Warriors eventually scoring with 43 seconds left on a shot from the point that was tipped into the top corner of the Vikings’ net. So, 3-2 with still time left on the clock. This remaining time had every parent and fan of both teams standing and cheering as the game ended 3-2 in favour of the Vikings. The second game of the series, played two days later, saw both teams make defensive adjustments. And it showed on the scoreboard, as the game ended in a 0-0 tie, giving the Vikings a three to one point lead in the series. So, the following night at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, the Vikings could clinch the championship. But it wasn’t going to be easy. The game combined all of the excitement and entertainment of the first two games of the series, with the Warriors leading 1-0 throughout the game. With four minutes left on the clock, the Vikings were able to score the tying goal from a scramble in front of the Warriors’ net. The Warriors then threw everything that they had at the Vikings because the Warriors needed a win. A tie would give the Vikings the championship. And this is what happened – the Vikings held off the Warriors challenge with the game ending in a 1-1 tie, giving the playoff championship title to the Vikings. It was a great series, with all of the three games filled with both offensive and defensive highlight plays.

Permanent sledge hockey display donated Special to the News

The Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville has a special place in the world of sledge hockey in the city of Ottawa. It is the first city-owned arena that is fully accessible and accommodating for sledge hockey players. And to mark this fact, Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) made a special presentation to the city at its Charity and Sport Awareness Sledge Hockey Challenge at the Matt Bradley arena last Saturday. SHEO has donated a sledge hockey display that will become a permanent fixture at the Matt Bradley Arena. This display features one of former Team Canada sledge hockey player and Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame member Todd Nicholson’s game-worn Team Canada jerseys, sticks, his story and a photo of his on-ice celebration following Canada’s gold medal win at the 2006 Paralympic Games in Torino, Italy. Those on hand for the unveiling included city of Ottawa councillors Shad Qadri and Jody Mitic, SHEO president Andrew Henry, Christina Picton who is captain of Canada’s women’s sledge hockey team, Celine Filion from the city of Ottawa and Tom Baker, president of the Carleton Place Civitan Club which purchased a van in support of sledge hockey and SHEO president Andrew Henry of Stittsville. This permanent display was unveiled at the Matt Bradley Arena last Saturday at noon, followed by a sledge hockey challenge game between a team representing the Ottawa Police Service and the Budweiser Red Lights. The teams were captained by

John Brummell/Metroland

At last Saturday’s unveiling of a sledge hockey display that will be a permanent fixture at the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville which is the first city of Ottawa-owned fully accessible arena are, from left, former Team Canada captain Todd Nicholson, left, and, on the right, city of Ottawa councillors Shad Qadri, kneeling, front, and Jody Mitic, standing, behind councillor Qadri. two of Canada’s most distinguished national sledge hockey players, Todd Nicholson and also Team Canada Development Head Coach Jean Labonte. Both Todd and Jean are former Team Canada captains whose records include several Paralympic and World Championship medals between them. Following the game, there was a live auction held to raise funds for the sport outreach program that SHEO is championing. This pro-

gram is playing an integral role in SHEO’s role to reach potential players, many of whom have limited exposure to sport as persons living with disabilities. Over the past few years, SHEO has been successful in raising awareness of the sport of sledge hockey. Not only have new players begun to realize their dreams of playing a competitive and fun sport but many members of the general public have had the opportunity to try

the sport themselves or at least to have been exposed to the sport through such events as last Saturday’s Charity and Sport Awareness Sledge Hockey Challenge at the Matt Bradley Arena or from ongoing media coverage. The goal of SHEO is to grow the sport of sledge hockey, promoting a fully inclusive society and helping make dreams come true for those wishing to play sledge hockey. Sledge hockey is a sport that allows participants who have a physical disability to play the game of ice hockey. Sledge hockey currently is one of the most popular sports in the Paralympic Games. It was developed by two men at a rehabilitation centre in Stockholm, Sweden, in the early 1960’s because they wanted to continue to play hockey despite their physical disability. Their sledge design included two skate blades on a metal frame that allowed the puck to pass underneath. They completed the equipment by including two round poles with bike handles for sticks. Competition between sledge hockey teams started in 1971 with five teams in Europe taking part. Canada iced a competitive sledge hockey team in 1982. International sledge hockey became an official event for the 1994 Paralympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Canada won the gold medal in the 2006 Paralympic Games in Torino, Italy. Essentially all of the regular ice hockey rules apply to sledge hockey. The only rule unique to sledge hockey is “teeing,” that is, charging an opponent using any part of the front radius of the sledge. The gates to the players’ benches and penalty benches from the ice are built flush with the ice surface so that the players can access them without the help of a coach or attendant. In addition, the surface area inside the players’ benches and penalty benches are made of smooth plastic or ice to avoid damage to players’ sledges. The ticks for sledge hockey have a blade curved at one end in a manner similar to regular ice hockey. In addition, there are generally six to eight metal teeth at the opposite end of the blade for maneuvering and propulsion. Movement is achieved by using the metal teeth as a means of gripping the ice and pushing oneself forward on the sledge.

Family Fun Day on Saturday, May 2 Special to the News

The Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street will be holding its third annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, May 2 this year. Plans for the day are still being firmed up but there will be entertainment including Junkyard Jonny which is always a hit with youngsters.

Other attractions should include face painting and a children’s book sale is in the works. Donations of children’s books are now being accepted for this sale. Anyone with books to donate can drop them off at Dandelions Consignment Shop or at the Kumon Reading Centre. This year the Family Fun Day will be raising funds to support Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” in

which he is trying to raise one million dollars for the Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tysen was inspired to begin his “Mission To A Million” when his own wish to meet actor Adam Sandler was granted in 2012. So far, in a year and a half, he has raised $220,000 towards his million dollar goal. A million dollars would allow MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario to grant 100 wishes.

Munster home sustains damage in April 9 fire Special to the News

News - City of Ottawa firefighters from Station 82 in Richmond responded to a fire at a home on Otterburn Avenue in

Munster on Thursday, April 9 at 11:58 a.m., just two minutes before noon. The call involved a fire at a two storey home in which the firefighters found smoke in the home and a fire on the second

Active living in retirement residences It’s no surprise that people who exercise regularly tend to be in better health than those who don’t, with many studies demonstrating just how beneficial physical activity can be—especially for seniors. Given the vital role that physical activity plays in the health of seniors, it’s clear how important it is for older adults to stay active in their later years, as it could mean their prolonged good health and independence. Yet, according to Employment and Social Development Canada, levels of physical activity gradually decrease with age, with only 44% of adults aged 65+ considered even moderately active in Canada.

“We support residents with their fitness goals by providing active living programming that is not only delivered in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, but tailored to their abilities and preferences,” she says, “When new residents realize how easy and fun it is to get in their daily physical activity, they’re more inclined to participate.”

As Laura Forsyth, Director of Life Enrichment at Chartwell Retirement Residences, explains, organized classes offered by retirement communities provide seniors with a convenient way to exercise. ADVERTORIAL

According to a study conducted by the University of Missouri, seniors living in retirement residences who reported more exercise experienced less physical decline than their peers who reported less exercise, demonstrating just how beneficial retirement living programming can be for a senior’s overall well-being. At Chartwell Stonehaven, we believe that active living is a critical component of healthy aging. We make it easy for residents to remain physically active and socially engaged so they can enjoy happier, healthier and more vibrant lifestyles. Our main residence and independent apartments offer a number of active living programs — such as yoga, balance and wellness classes, a walking club, our popular Rhythm N’ Moves class and our new intellectual FitMinds® program — and general recreational activities geared toward improving residents’ physical health.

There may be many reasons why seniors do not exercise regularly, challenges with health and mobility ranking high on that list; however, it’s never too late for seniors to participate in regular exercise, even if it’s from the comfort of a chair. One lifestyle change that studies show often prompt seniors to begin exercising again is a move to retirement living.

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - The Stittsville Town League championship came down to one game and it turned out to be a blowout. The teams – Laurysen Kitchens Blue Team and Cavanagh Construction Grey team – had both won one game in the best-of-three championship series. So, on Thursday, April 9 at the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, the two teams squared off for the third and deciding game of the final series.

Presbyterian Church helps Carleton University students out Special to the News

News - The university school year is winding down, with students faced with exhausted student loans, research papers to write and exams to study for and then write. Many students find themselves stressed with a lack of time and/or money to eat properly. That’s where local churches such as St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville have stepped in to help out.

Several years ago St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was approached by the Ecumenical Chaplaincy of Carleton University to help get the students through their exam time by supplying food as well as some friendly faces to serve the food. For the past several years, St. Andrew’s has been supporting the students by providing food and service for the “Pause Table” which is a place where students can just stop by, pause for a moment in their busy exam days, pick up something healthy to eat and

Book fair coming to A. Lorne Cassidy Special to the News

News - Calling all book lovers! It’s still several weeks away but you should get ready to attend the 23rd annual book fair at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville. It’s happening this year on Friday, May 22 from 3:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. and again on Saturday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

It promises to be another feast of previously-loved books of all types, so you are bound to find a book or two there that meets your tastes and needs. Besides the book fair, there will be a BBQ held on Friday, May 22 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. What a great opportunity to enjoy some BBQ’d food and then browse through the rows and rows of books that will be on sale at the book fair.

perhaps have a chat. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville, as well as St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond, have a dedicated group now who get together the day before to prepare the food and then the next day help serve the food at the “Pause Table.” Often over 1,200 students a day are served. The group members make mountains of sandwiches, using from 60 to 80 loaves of bread, package piles of cookies and wash basket loads of fruit that all go to the “Pause

Table.” And, lo and behold, absolutely nothing comes back – it all disappears at the “Pause Table.” This year the St. Andrew’s group is getting together this Sunday afternoon, April 19, to prepare the food as the St. Andrew’s day at the “Pause Table” this year is this coming Monday, April 20. Members of the congregation supply much of this food but the church also reaches out to retailers in the community for additional supplies.

Movre, TV songs to be featured in concert Special to the News

R0013229760

There are lots of memories for everyone from watching movies and TV shows over years past. And these movies and TV shows usually have a song associated with them, either a theme song from a long-running TV show or perhaps a movie song that has become popular or even has won an Academy Award. You will have an opportunity to re-live these movie/TV song memories at this spring’s annual concert of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and their associated junior choir the Junior Jubilees as they will be singing songs and theme songs from favourite movies and TV shows from the past 50 years. When you hear the first few notes of these songs, you will undoubtedly be transported back to that time when you saw that

particular movie or when you regularly watched that television show. This spring concert has been named “Big Screen/Little Screen” because there will be songs from both “big screen” movies and “little screen” television shows. The concert will be performed twice, providing lots of opportunity for people to attend and enjoy this musical trip through the movies and TV shows of the past half century. The concert will be presented on Saturday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church at the corner of Abbeyhill Drive and Old Colony Road in the Glen Cairn area of Kanata. Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children or seniors. Tickets at the door will sell for $20 each. Tickets in advance can be obtained by phoning 613-218-4492 or via email to bon-

nyhoughton@hotmail.com. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers is a community choir based in the west end of Ottawa with choir members ranging in age from 8 to 80. Those who share a love of music while having fun together should consider joining the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. Youth are encouraged to join the Junior Jubilees. Practices are held every Wednesday night at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. For more information about the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the Junior Jubilees, please visit the website www.gjsingers.com . The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers released a CD in 2014 entitled “Why We Sing.” Copies of the CD will be available at this spring’s concerts for those who wish to purchase it.

Planning staff against proposed develoment in Stittsville

Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition The Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition presented its’ first-ever event for parents to help their children with bullying. The Bullying - What Can Parents Do? Let’s Talk About It… event that was held a couple of weeks ago brought together key partners including mental-health experts, researchers, and school board and police representatives to support parents, with the goal of building a more supportive and safe community for all those impacted by bullying. The event, hosted by Ottawa Public Health, included community service information booths, a panel presentation from local experts and the opportunity for parents to ask questions about preventing and responding to bullying more effectively. The goal of the event was to help parents report and respond to bullying incidents. It also provided parents with information, resources and services available in Ottawa. The event highlighted that bullying is not solely a school issue, but rather a community issue that requires city-wide strategies to support all those impacted by bullying. The Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition is led by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and comprises partners including Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa Police Service, all four Ottawa school boards and CHEO.

Special to the News

City of Ottawa’s planning staff is against any municipal approval of a proposed development in southeast Stittsville due to negative impacts on an adjacent Urban Natural Feature. The 6.8 hectare development site is flanked by Elm Crescent, Meadowland Drive, Porter Street and Fernbank Road. On the west, the site borders a cityowned wetland designated as urban Natural Feature. In a report to Ottawa city council’s planning committee, staff argues that the proposal for the development has not fulfilled the review and approval requirements of the city for a draft plan of subdivision and associated zoning bylaw amendment. “Sufficient information has not been provided to demonstrate that there will be no impacts to the adjacent Urban Natural Feature,” the planning staff report to committee states. “It has not been demonstrated that the flooding risk to the existing and future homes can be reasonably controlled through proper storm water management solutions.” In addition, the planning staff report states that the applicant has failed to provide sufficient information to address con-

cerns related to endangered species, wildlife, hydrogeology, water balance, ground water, go-technology, grading, drainage and storm water management. “Granting approval of the proposed development will compromise the City’s ability to protect the UNF (Urban Natural Feature) and public safety,” the report states. The report recommends refusal of the proposed development at this time to minimize the risk of flooding in the surrounding area and to future homes. The report notes that city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is “strongly opposed” to the development due to overwhelming community opposition due to the large number of environmental concerns regarding the site. City council’s planning committee is dealing with this report at its meeting this week, just prior to an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing on the proposal which is scheduled to start this coming Monday, April 20. The zoning bylaw amendment related to this proposal was appealed to the OMB in Nov. 2013 due to a lack of a decision from the city within the prescribed timeline under provincial legislation. Subsequently, the

All Friendship Club luncheons from now on are going to be held at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

plan of subdivision application was also appealed to the OMB for the same reason. The development proposal is for a residential subdivision of 23 single detached homes, 26 semi-detached homes and 100 street townhouse units for a total of 149 housing units. There is also a storm water management pond, walkways and open space. The site was once part of a larger natural area known as the Fernbank Wetland and was designated provincially Significant Wetland by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. In 2003, an OMB decision removed the Provincially Significant Wetland designation from the site. In 2011, city council removed the Official Plan’s designation as Significant Wetland for a small portion of the site, re-designating it as General Urban Area. In 2013, a city report on the municipality’s Urban Natural Features Strategy recommended that the city not seek to purchase the privately owned portion of this Fernbank Wetland including this proposed development site. Development applications for the site were received by the city in June 2013.

One final reminder that the City is hosting an open house at the Richmond Arena on Tuesday, March 21st between 7:00pm and 9:00pm in order to discuss upcoming repairs and modifications that will be made to the Richmond Forcemain. The work involves repairing the existing 500mm forcemain, the installation of a new 300mm forcemain to facilitate the repairs, and the installation of a new section of 600mm forcemain for the proposed future development within the Village of Richmond. Specifically, this work will take place between the existing pumping station on Royal York Street and the sewage lagoons west of Eagleson Road. In order to carry out this work, one of the lagoons will need to be reactivated and there will also be tree removal along the forcemain route. To find out more, please attend the meeting on Tuesday evening.

Richmond Royals Atom A win big at Waterloo hockey tourney Special to the News

Sports - Eat your heart out, Napoleon! The Richmond Royals Atom A team have met their Waterloo and, unlike that now famous first Battle of Waterloo in 1815 which ended Napoleon’s rule as Emperor of France, the Richmond Royals came out on top – right on top, in fact, as the Richmond Royals Atom A’s went undefeated to emerge as champions at the recent 12th annual Waterloo Wolves Fun Festival Tournament. And what a tournament for Richmond Royals Atom A head coach Daryl Kinkade as this was his first tournament championship win as a coach after coaching for Submitted 13 years for the Richmond Members of the Richmond Royals Atom A team which won the championship in the re- Munster Minor Hockey Ascent 12th annual Waterloo Wolves Fun Festival Tournament are, front row, from left, Devin sociation. Kinkade, Zachary Brennan, goalie Nathan Francis, Cameron Beresford, Daniel Buckley And he was full of praise and Jeremy Winger; middle row, from left, Daniel Grant, Ryan Visutski, Nathan Glover, Grant Borutski (kneeling), Alex Bandall, Owen Chatland and Darcy Castellarin; and, back row, from left, head coach Daryl Kinkade, Chris Chatland and Colin Buckley.

for his team’s performance in this tournament. “This was a great way to end the season,” he said. “The team played some of the best hockey they’ve played all year.” It took a nail-biting shootout finish but the Richmond Royals won the championship game 5-4 against the Waterloo AtoMc Red team. Richmond had taken an early lead in the first period of this championship game on a goal by Ryan Visutski, assisted by Nathan Glover and Devin Kinkade. However, later in the period, Richmond ran into penalty trouble and Waterloo capitalized on the power play to tie things up 1-1. Richmond bounced back and took a 2-1 lead in the second period on a goal by Owen Chatland assisted by Alex Bendall and Jeremy Winger.

But in the third period, Waterloo tied things up on another power play goal, with the score remaining 2-2 through the end of regulation time. So, it meant a sudden victory shootout. Richmond players Nathan Glover and Alex Bandall scored for the Royals in the shootout but Waterloo also scored two goals so that the game remained tied. The Royals’ winning goal then came from Cameron Beresford as Richmond goalie Nathan Francis made a glove save to deny the Waterloo attempt to score. It was a 5-4 overtime victory and the tournament championship for the Richmond Royals Atom A’s. Richmond had advanced in the tournament by defeating three local Waterloo teams in round robin play, winning by scores of 6-1, 3-1 and 2-1.

He has also been a guest coach several times at the National Capital Amateur Football Association Pee Wee and Bantam all-star games. But it is not only success as a coach that has made Tim an outstanding member of the Bell Warriors family. He has given selflessly of himself to “everything Warriors.” Tim has been a key organizer in the Warriors yearly city-wide winter football clinics and special events which have included participation by Canadian Football League players and alumni as well as Canadian Interuniversity Sport players and coaches. During the regular season, Tim not only spends countless hours on playbook preparation and planning but also each year spends more than 60 evenings coaching players. In addition, he spends ten weekends each fall coaching his teams. Tim has also been a key organizer of the Warriors’ equipment needs and maintenance. This has been an important role with the Warriors because one of the Club’s prime objectives is to put player safety first. Tim has also proven to be phenomenal at inspiring Bell Warriors players to believe in themselves and to embrace a passion for life.

Goulbourn Rams season over with loss to Casselman Vikings in six News Staff

The season is over for the Stittsville Rams of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. And what a season is was, with the team winning the Valley Division championship and the Metro/Valley Conference championship before losing the league championship final to the Rideau/St. Lawrence Conference champion Casselman Vikings in six games. The Rams went into last Sunday night’s game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville down three games to two in the series and facing a “must win” situation to prolong the series. Things looked pretty good after the opening period which was scoreless, although the visiting Casselman team did outshoot the hometown Rams by an 18 to 10 margin. But it was the second period which spelled the end for the Rams as Casselman struck for five goals in a span of just over nine minutes to take a 5-0 lead into the third period. The visiting Vikings then scored three more goals in the third period before the Rams finally got on the scoreboard at the 16:19 mark on a goal by Mike DiBello, assisted by Connor Cobbold. And that’s how the game ended, 8-1 for Casselman, and so that’s how the season ended for the Stittsville Rams. Casselman had 55 shots at Rams goalie Connor Ellis in this game while the Rams managed only 27 shots at the Casselman net. The Rams had defeated the Casselman Vikings 7-4 in a game at the Brisson Complex in Casselman last Friday night. Down by a 3-2 score going into the third period of this game, the Rams exploded with their own five goal outburst in a single period to end up winning by a 7-4 score. The Rams had to win this game to prolong the championship series as Casselman went into the game leading the series by three games to one. In this game, the Rams directed 37 shots at the Casselman net while Casselman had 32 shots on Rams’ goalie Connor Ellis. Scoring for the Rams in this game were Matt Allan with three goals and Troy Hass, Jordan Boutillier, Shane Hiley and Talmadge Farnes with a goal each. Earning assists for the Rams in this game were Mike DiBello with three assists, Connor Cobbold with two assists and Jordan Boutillier, Shane Hiley, Jake Oliver, Matt Allan and Neil Penner, all with one assist each. In a game on Wednesday, April 8 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, the visiting Casselman Vikings skated away with a 6-3 victory over the hometown Stittsville Rams, grabbing a three games to one lead in the series. After a scoreless first period, Casselman scored four goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead into the third period. Both teams scored two goals in the third period so that the game ended 6-3 in favour of Casselman. Shane Hiley scored two goals for the Rams in this game while Connor Cobbold added the

other Rams’ goal. Picking up assists for the Rams in this game were Neil Penner, Jordan Boutillier, Mitch Kerwin, Troy Hass, Matt Veaudry and Mike DiBello. The Rams peppered 51 shots at the Casselman goal in this game, including 23 in the third period. Casselman had 44 shots on Rams’ goalie Matt Couvrette. The Casselman Vikings had taken

a two games to one lead in this championship series with an 8-3 win over the Stittsville Rams in a game at the Brisson Complex in Casselman on Tuesday, April 7. Casselman led 3-1 after the first period and 5-2 after the second period before scoring another three goals in the third period to win by an 8-3 margin. Scoring for the Rams in this game were Mitch Kerwin, Matt Veaudry and Talmadge Farnes.

Picking up assists in this game for the Rams were Matt Allan with two and Ben Wade, Cole Carter, and Jordan Boutillier with one apiece. Casselman had 45 shots on Rams’ goalie Matt Couvrette while the Rams had 29 shots on the Casselman net. The earlier games in the series had seen Casselman Vikings defeat the Stittsville Rams 7-3 April 2 while the Stittsville Rams rebounded to score a 6-3 victory over Casselman Vikings in a game on Saturday, April 4.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

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

I am buying a house. The house is about 27 years old. Does the seller have any obligation to disclose any problems with the house? In general, there are limited obligations for the seller to disclose any problems with the property to interested buyers. Further, the sellers are not required to provide any warranties as to the condition of the property they are selling. Let the Buyer Beware. The law in Ontario is pretty clear “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose patent or visible defects. Exception to this rule are serious hidden defects or serious concealed defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. A proper home inspection is therefore crucial for anyone buying a resale home. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house, render the house unfit for human habitation or involve deliberate concealment. About Allan Snelling

Winning gold medals at national ringette championships John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - National champions! Not many can lay claim to such an accomplishment but four ringette players from the West Ottawa area – two from Richmond, one from Munster and one from Kanata – can proudly make such a claim because their team, the U19AA Nepean Ravens, won the gold medals at the recent Canadian Ringette Championships in Wood Buffalo, Alberta. The team received the championship trophy as national champions as well as gold medals and golden sticks for all of the players. These national championships are considered the pinnacle of success and achievement in the sport of ringette in Canada. The four West Ottawa area players who were part of this championship team were Emily Hogan, 16, of Kanata and a student at All Saints Catholic High School; Samantha Banning, 17, of Richmond and a student at South Carleton High School; Hanya Wyatt, 18, of Richmond and a student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School; and Ariana Maheny, 17, of Munster and a student at South Carleton High School. They play for the Nepean team because their home organization, the West Ottawa Ringette Association, does not ice a U19AA team. While the girls’ Nepean Ravens team ended up going undefeated in nine games during the national championships in Alberta, it wasn’t an easy

Holding the gold medals which they received as members of the U19AA Nepean Ravens ringette team which won the national championship at the recent Canadian Ringette Championships in Wood Buffalo, Alberta are, from left, Hanya Wyatt of Richmond, Samantha Banning of Richmond, Ariana Maheny of Munster and Emily Hogan of Kanata. or even winning road for the team to get to the national championships. And, while the undefeated record at the national championships sounds great, it too wasn’t easy to accomplish, with two of the games going into overtime. The Nepean Ravens trip to the national championships in Alberta began at the earlier provincial champi-

onships in London when the Ravens went undefeated in round robin play but then lost in overtime in semifinal play and subsequently lost in the bronze medal game. As a result, the Ravens were ranked fourth in the province despite an impressive record of 18 wins, one loss and one tie in the regular season playing in the Quebec elite league.

Only two Ontario teams were eligible to go to the national championships in Alberta and when two teams above the Ravens opted not to travel to Alberta for the championships, the Ravens got the opportunity and jumped at it. Despite their performance at the Ontario championships, the Ravens knew that they were competitive and

although it was costly and involved missing a week of school, they jumped at the chance and were off to Wood Buffalo, Alta. for the championships which ran from Sunday, March 29 to Saturday, April 4. After winning six straight games in the round robin portion of the championships and then winning in quarterfinal action, the Nepean Ravens found themselves losing 3-2 to a British Columbia team entering the final minute of play in semi-final action. The Ravens scored with just 39 seconds to go and then won in overtime to advance to the championship final. Whew, that was close! In the championship final, the Ravens skated to a 3-0 shutout victory over Team Alberta to capture the national championship. Besides the gold medals and championship trophy, all of the Ravens players received a golden ringette stick commemorating the championship victory. All four of the West Ottawa area players who played for this victorious Nepean Ravens national championship team are long time ringette players. Emily Hogan of Kanata, who at 16 years of age was the youngest player on the team, has been playing ringette for 11 years. A defenseman, this year was the first time that she made an AA level team as a first year player. With the West Ottawa Ringette Association, Emily had won previously at the provincial level.

Members of the U19AA Nepean Ravens ringette team which won the national championship at the recent Canadian Ringette Championships in Wood Buffalo, Alberta are, lying at the front, goalies Riane Munro, left, and Amy Boileau, right; first row, kneeling, from left, Ariana Maheny, Hanya Wyatt, Amy Kolesnik, Junior Ambassador Grace Bielecki from the Fort McMurray Ringette Association who is in front of Amy Kolesnik, Samantha Banning, Taylor Costello and manager Kim Costello; and, back row, standing, from left, assistant coach Katherine Mulders, Molly Lewis, assistant coach Jackie Banning, Natasha Hurtubise, Allie Marcotte, Maggie Sullivan, Cait Driscoll, Sarah Lemkow, Emily Hogan, assistant coach John Sullivan and head coach Art Marcotte.

Emily says that she really enjoys not only the competition provided by playing ringette but also loves the speed of the game. She also likes making friends on the team, describing herself as a “pretty social person.” Samantha Banning of Richmond has been playing ringette for 13 years, ever since she was four years old. This year’s experience at the national competition was her second trip to the Canadian championships, as she played for the Nepean Ravens last season when the team won silver medals at the provincial championships and went on to play in the national competition. A forward, Samantha likes the competitive nature of ringette while also enjoying the social aspect of being on an all-girls team and having the opportunity of making lifelong friends. She describes herself as a fast skater who is good offensively and able to score goals. Samantha says that playing ringette is one of the best experiences of her life and has allowed her to do great things with great people. Hanya Wyatt of Richmond also was to the national competition once before, placing sixth. She has been playing ringette for 13 years. A defenseman, she says that she is a very competitive person who likes to compete at a high level and tries to be good at what she does. She says that she is a very defensive minded player and prefers to set up plays rather than try to score herself. Ariana Maheny of Munster has been playing ringette for ten years. She had played in a previous national championship in Fredericton, NB where the team had won silver medals. See JUNIOR AMBASSADOR, page 35

Junior Ambassador for team Continued from page 34

She is a “stay at home� defenseman, preferring to keep rings out of her own net rather than score. She likes ringette because playing it is something in which she can take pride. She also likes the social aspect of playing on an allgirls team, with all of the girls sharing a similar mindset. Emily Hogan notes that girls from the West Ottawa area playing for a U19 team which involves players from age 16 through age 19 involves quite a transition because they suddenly find themselves as teammates with players whom they had been playing against for years as rivals when they were playing for their home West Ottawa Ringette Association teams. In addition, the Nepean Ravens team involves a three year age range rather than the normal two year range, so this also proved to be a challenging circumstance for the West Ottawa girls. But things came together quickly and as the season progressed, all of the players developed

a good feeling for one another. Indeed, Emily says that everyone on the team is “family now.� Emily, Samantha and Ariana all plan to try out for the Eastern Region’s AAA team this spring. This is a team that only competes in tournaments. The three will also be trying for a spot on next season’s Nepean Ravens U19AA team again. As for Hanya, she will be off to university in the fall but wherever she ends up, she intends to continue playing ringette. One memorable aspect of the national championships for the Nepean players was the presence of eight year old Grace Bielecki who served as the team’s Junior Ambassador during the tournament. A player with the Fort McMurray Ringette Association, Grace joined the Nepean players for all of their games and for various team functions. She even dyed her hair blue as the Nepean Ravens team colours are blue and white.

Awards for Stittsville Men’s 30+ Hockey League Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville Men’s 30+ Hockey League (SMHL) prides itself on being a friendly and gentlemanly group of players. The average age is 45 years old. While a little past their prime in terms of skill level, these players still enjoy the exercise, camaraderie, fun and friendly competition that playing a couple of hockey games each week provides. And so, late nights on Tuesdays and Fridays during the hockey season at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena will find the SMHL’s 70 Stittsville-area players taking to the ice for fun and friendly games. It’s a five-team league which this past season saw seven new “rookie” players suit up in the league. The 2014/15 season ended on Friday, March 27 with the final four teams “competing” for the league championship. Team Dark Blue, captained by Ryan Hertner, came out on top this year. At the SMHL’s annual windup banquet on Saturday, March 28 at

the Bistro 54 restaurant at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club in Stittsville, the championship trophy was presented to Team Dark Blue along with the customary white SMHL “Champions” ball caps. In addition, in a bit of a break from tradition, all of the players in the league received new league duffle bags. In addition to honouring the playoff champions, this annual banquet also provides the opportunity to recognize best efforts over the curse of the season and to celebrate the values of friendship, fun and sportsmanship set when the league was established over 40 years and which still prevail today. The top scorer award (scoring is only tracked during the playoffs) was won by Brad Morley who accumulated 18 points over ten playoff games. A number of other awards were also presented, all determined by a vote by league players. The league’s MVP award went to Neil Jones while Todd Carriere received the award as top forward. Defenseman of the year went to John Symes while Dave Campbell was the top goalie.

Merv Hann received the award as the most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player. A clear indication of the way that sportsmanship is embraced by the league and all of its players is the fact that 36 of the league’s 70 players were nominated for this most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player award. The most coveted SMHL award is the John Shouldice Memorial Award. Voted on by the league’s player, this award has everything to do with what the league tries to embody each year, namely the forging of lifetime friendships and enjoying the fun of the game. 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. Each year the SMHL remembers John’s legacy with a toast and the presentation of the John Shouldice Memorial Ward trophy which consists of one of John’s skates bronzed to create a trophy. This year the John Shouldice Memorial Award was presented to Mark

Pusiak as the player who best represented the spirt of the league in the 2014-2015 season. Mark is a solid player who is quick to put the puck

in the net but who is also equally as quick to joke or chirp in jest at fellow players. The only thing bigger than his grin is his “Superman” chest.

How to make your property unwelcome to wildlife The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry recommends that and wild animals on your property be le alone, and your environment made as unwelcome to them as possible. As well, do your best to avoid any possible conflicts between wildlife and your own domes c pets. You can make your property unwelcome to wildlife by: using flashing lights, mo on sensors and noise makers (wind chimes), and ensuring that there is no garbage or food exposed that could a ract the animal. This includes bird feeders as the fox is a racted to the birds as prey. If you see a coyote, wolf or fox, keep your distance and the animal will most likely avoid you. If you encounter an aggressive animal: • never approach or touch a wild animal • do not turn your back or run from a wild animal • back away from the animal while remaining calm • stand tall, wave your hands, and make lots of noise • carry a flashlight at night • if a wild animal poses an immediate threat or danger to public safety — call 911 • keep dogs/cats inside at night • clean up a er your dog — coyotes/fox are a racted to dog feces • spay and neuter your dogs — coyotes are a racted to, and can mate with, domes c dogs that have not been spayed or neutered As the warmer weather is approaching the animals are coming out of hiberna on and looking for food. The staff at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resource and Forestry also recommended that if you have any brush or long ornamental type grass that it be removed as they will lay in this. For more informa on on wildlife management you may visit: h p://www.ontario.ca/ environment-and-energy/wildlife-and-nature . O awa River Ac on Plan Receives Funding On April 6th an announcement was made regarding the O awa River Ac on Plan and a mul -level government co-opera on that secured funding for the project. Approved by Council in 2009, the O awa River Ac on Plan is a series of 17 projects that will lead to a cleaner river. Seven have been completed to date, including the installa on of “real- me controls” that have reduced the amount of contaminants flowing into the river by 80 per cent between 2006 and 2013. The plan going forward is to build an underground storage tank system in the downtown area to prevent raw sewage from spilling untreated into the O awa River. When there’s a par cularly heavy rainfall, the combined storm and sanitary sewers in the older parts of the city can’t handle the volume, and untreated sewage spills into the river. The underground tanks will be able to store the overflow. When volumes decrease, this stored waste water will be released into the sewer system for treatment before being returned to the O awa River. The tanks are actually two interconnected tunnels: one will run east-west through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to Stanley Park (it will go underneath the light-rail tunnel where the two overlap); another tunnel will run north-south under Kent Street, from Wellington Street to Chamberlain Street. 38 Stittsville News - Thursday, April 16, 2015

Jock River racing to grow with new organizers John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Springtime paddle racing on the Jock River not only is going to continue but also is going to grow thanks to the ideas of new race organizers Gaetan Plourde and Ian Mockett. Both are marathon paddlers who became involved with the annual Upper Jock River Race last year after long time organizer John Hiley of Richmond wanted to step down from the role and handed over the race’s organization to Gaetan and Ian. Under their supervision, the race attracted 91 entries. Speaking at the monthly general meeting of the Richmond Village Association on Tuesday, April 7, Gaetan outlined plans to rejuvenate the race which began in 1971. One of the goals in increasing participation in future years is more involvement by high school students, following a pattern set by the Raisin River Race near Cornwall which has a huge student participation. Right now, the Upper Jock River Race attracts families with young children and also many paddlers in the age 50 plus range, as well as some competitive paddlers out for some spring training, as it were. Gaetan admitted that increased student participation will be key to the

Gaetan and Ian, who are both avid marathon paddlers, have taken over the organization of the annual race which this year happens on Saturday, April 25.

race reaching its goal of attracting up to 150 entries in the future. Starting next year, the race will be expanded to include the section of the Jock River from Richmond downstream to the Rideau River. This was the race course from its founding in 1971 to 1996 when it moved to the portion of the river upstream of Richmond. Plans are that starting next year, the Jock River Race will offer three options to paddlers: doing the whole length of the river from the Munster Sideroad through to the Rideau River; doing just the current 12 ½ kilometer section from the Munster Sideroad to Richmond; or doing just the section from Richmond downstream to the Rideau River. Next year will be the race’s 45th anniversary year since its founding and Gaetan feels that opening up the lower Jock River again for racing would be something special for such an anniversary year. Gaetan also would like to expand community support for the race so that it is not just a paddling event but is an event that takes on more of a “fair atmosphere,” perhaps with a bouncy and similar activities associated For Information or Registration castle with it.

the Yukon River Quest, the world’s longest marathon paddling event at over 700 kilometers in length. He not only met fellow paddler Ian Mockett there but he has now competed in it seven times and holds the record for fastest solo time, 48 ½ hours. Gaetan said that the Jock River Race has “a rich history” and is something that should not be lost. It began in 1971 to mark the placement of the weir in the river at Richmond, with the course being from Richmond downstream to the Rideau River. The first race in 1971 attracted 25 canoes with the number of entries growing to 125 in the second year. In 1996, the race was switched to the section of the river upstream from Richmond, becoming the Upper Jock River Race. This stretch of the river involves slower moving water, especially through the Richmond Fen area but there are a couple of first class rapids on the course as well. Indeed, the race offers one of the only opportunities to paddle through the Fen area since falling water levels on the river make this a possibility only during a few weeks in the spring. Gaetan admitted that one of the biggest challenges with regard to the Jock River Race is figuring out when it should happen. This year the race was originally set to happen last Saturday, April 11 but the late spring forced its rescheduling. The race date has now been set for Saturday, April 25. Information about this year’s race and registration can be found on the website www.jockriverrace.ca.

New addition at Stittsville United Pentecostal Church John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It is a project that began in early 2011 but really it is the continuation of a journey that began back in the 1960’s with the founding of the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church in Stittsville. And when the doors swung open last Sunday after a brief front door “Grand Opening” red ribbon cutting ceremony for the church’s

new 12,000 square foot addition and about 400 members of the congregation and guests flowed through these doors and spacious entrance lobby to enter the church’s new 500 seat worship auditorium, there was but one sentiment possible. And it was a sentiment perhaps best expressed by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who began his remarks at the facility’s grand opening with the observation “Wow!” Councillor Qadri praised not only what he

termed the fantastic new building but also the involvement of the congregation in the project as well as the inspirational service that was part of opening Sunday. Also speaking at this initial service in the new auditorium was Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt in whose ward the church, located at Stanley’s Corners, is actually located. He reminded the congregation that while a beautiful facility, the new building is nothing without what he termed “its family,” the people of the congregation. Indeed, Stittsville United Pentecostal Church pastor Rev. Dwayne McCarty, in his address at this opening service in the new auditorium, reiterated this observation made by councillor Moffatt, namely that the church as envisioned by Jesus Christ is not a building but rather is a gathering of the people.

He noted that the oft-quoted phrase “Upon this rock, I shall build my church” was initially written using the Greek word “Ekklesia” for church, a word which means “assembly.” “The church is not a building,” Pastor McCarthy said, adding that while it is common to think of a church in terms of a building, Jesus never intended the church to be a building. Rather, a church is its people, he said. And he said that although the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church now has its much larger building with a big front worship platform on which he paced back and forth as he delivered his remarks, he said that the surroundings don’t change a thing in that God is still the powerful God for whom nothing is impossible and his people are still who they are, people needing to praise and worship God.

Alonzo Dummitt, far right, and his wife Beverly look on.

5517 Hazeldean Rd, Unit 1 K2S 0P5 44 Stittsville News - Thursday, April 16, 2015


First email about new addition happened in January 2011 Continued from page 44

Pastor McCarty recounted that the first email that he sent out with regard to the new building, namely a request to have an initial meeting with architects, was on January 31, 2011. And since then, while he has deleted many emails regarding the project, there are almost 2,200 emails related to the project that he still has on file for reference purposes. “Do I look tired?” he asked the congregation rhetorically in telling about the over four years that the project had been taking shape. The actual ceremonial sod turning for this new church addition took place on Sunday, May 12, 2013 which was Mother’s Day, with Pastor McCarty and the church’s long time, now retired pastor Rev. Alonzo Dummitt using goldcoloured shovels as they turned the ceremonial first pieces of sod to mark the beginning of the actual construction of the project. And it was gold-coloured scissors that city of Ottawa councillors Shad Qadri and Scott Moffatt used at 11 a.m. last Sunday to cut the red “Grand Opening” ribbon strung across the exterior of the entrance doors to the new addition, marking the opening of the new auditorium facility. The project itself saw more than 50 companies involved including at least 120 individuals. And this does not include the members of the congregation who Pastor McCarty acknowledged had all contributed to the project in some way including on-site work. Indeed, it was Eric Cameron, representing the general contractor for the project, Mar Gard Builders Limited of Ottawa, who acknowledged in his remarks that he had never seen such hard work, financial toughness and, yes, cheerfulness involved with a project as he had seen from the leadership of the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church in this project. He thanked the church leadership and the church volunteers for their hard work on the project, noting that the project had to deal with construction during two long, bitter winters as well as factors like cost inflation.

At this initial worship service in the new auditorium, retired Pastor Rev. Alonzo Dummitt, who remains involved with the church’s ministry despite his retirement back in 2011, led the congregation in a prayer asking that this new sanctuary would be used for God’s purposes in the years to come. The service concluded with a video presentation listing the names of all of the companies involved with the project, along with the names of the personnel involved. The video lasted a number of minutes. And Pastor McCarty wrapped up the service with a simple statement to the congregation: “It’s amazing what we have accomplished together. Thank you!”. Two glass front double doors lead into

the new auditorium from the church’s expanded parking lot on its 12 acre site at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners. For the expanded parking lot, a new entrance/ exit onto Flewellyn Road was created, adding to the existing entrance/exit off Stittsville Main Street. Entering through the front entrance doors, you come upon a spacious foyer area with room for coats on one side and a collection of big comfy chairs arranged on the other side, all sitting in front of an in-wall gas fireplace. There are then two more doorways which take a person into the main auditorium with its high ceiling, its unobstructed views from any spot, its individual chair seating, its ele-

vated audio-visual control centre at the rear between the entrance doorways and a wide, elevated platform with lots of space for the church’s musical ministry at the front (north side of the building) with a giant video screen area on the wall above and behind it. The auditorium has appropriate lighting and sound systems. In addition, this new auditorium is attached to the former church building which will now be used for the church’s youth, Sunday School and education programming needs. The kitchen area of the former building will also continue to be used for postservice refreshments as it was after last Sunday’s initial grand opening service. See STITTSVILLE UNITED, page 47

Presentation about 1938 bank robbery Special to the News

News - “Hands up! This is a holdup!� Classic words but they were what was shouted inside the Bank of Nova Scotia in Richmond on July 19, 1938 as three robbers burst into the bank and eventually sped away with $12,478, a huge amount in those days.

The robbery made front page news in the Ottawa Journal daily newspaper for two straight days so you know that this was big news at the time. Just who these robbers were, how the bank robbery unfolded and how the robbers were eventually caught will all be part of a presentation at the April meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society this coming Saturday, April 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The presentation is being done by Stittsville News editor John Curry, author of

“Richmond On The Jock,� a book outlining the history of Richmond published in 1993 which was Richmond’s 175th anniversary year of its founding in 1818. Mr. Curry says that he is hopeful that those who attend the presentation will enjoy finding out about this famous local robbery and says that those attending hopefully will leave the meeting not only with an understanding of the robbery and how it happened but also with something tangible as well. He will not divulge what this will be – you’ll have to attend to find out. Everyone, of course, is welcome to at-

tend this free presentation and learn about this intriguing happening in Richmond that happened 77 years ago now. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about the robbery following the presentation. There is parking available both at the front of the library, at the rear of the library and at the front of the old fire hall immediately north of the library. The Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library is located on the east side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville.

Stittsville United Pentecostal Church Continued from page 45

The new 500 seat auditorium is much larger than the previous worship space in the existing church facility on the site which seated about 215 people. The Stittsville United Pentecostal Church began almost 50 years ago in Stittsville, initially meeting in the Orange Hall (now the Stittsville Legion Hall) under the guidance of Pastor Thomas Dixon. It then moved into its own building in July, 1967 at the corner of Orville Street and Pretty Street. This building is now the Pretty Street Community Centre. Rev. Paul Graham served the church as Pastor in the 1975-76 period, followed by Rev. David Phillips who was Pastor from 1976 to 1980. It was in March, 1981 that Rev. Alonzo Dummitt became Pastor, a position that he would retain until his retirement in 2011, although he remains active in the church’s ministry. Rev. Dwayne McCarty took over as Pastor upon Rev. Dummitt’s retirement and has led the church’s effort in building this new addition. It was about 20 years ago that the church relocated from its Pretty Street premises to new, larger premises in a twostorey facility on its current site on Stittsville Main Street at Stanley’s Corners. The Stittsville United Pentecostal Church today has a very multi-cultural congregation. As the grand opening service, Pastor McCarty noted that the congregation today includes people who were born all around the world. He cited countries of birth such as Cuba, Columbia, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Congo, Zimbabwe and the Philippines. And there are more. “We come together from all over the world,� Pastor McCarty said.

Coffee house at South Carleton John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Music coffee houses have become a tradition at South Carleton High School in Richmond, going on now for 14 years. The final coffee house for the 20142015 school year on Thursday night, April 9 in the cafetorium at the school started and ended with performances that might be more associated with a rock concert than a coffee house but in between, the performances were much along traditional coffee house lines, with singers and guitars predominating. But it was not all singers and guitars. There were keyboard performances by Alyssa Glennie when she accompanied her sister Megan on two songs and later when she accompanied Madi Stevens on a song. Leigh Dunn and Nadia Khawas both performed keyboard solos while Nick Lefebvre, appearing in his final coffee house as he graduates this year,

played the keyboard as he performed with singer Kathryn Fitzgerald. But perhaps the most unique performance in terms of musical instruments was the duo of Sheldon Birkett on trumpet and Jared Aitken on drums, presenting the song “Solar.� Other performances included “High And Dry� by a six-member teacher band as well as two songs, “Full Circle� and “Take Me To Church� by Storm Surge, South Carleton’s choral singing group which was off to Toronto the next day to participate in a national competition. Storm Surge added some synchronized body, arm and dance movements to its presentation of “Take Me To Church.� The band “The Beagles� played just before the coffee house’s intermission, playing “Hotel California,� the 1977 hit song by The Eagles which has become one of the best known rock songs from that era. See VOCALS, page 50

Pies for Parkinson’s event all set for April 24 Special to the News

It’s “Pies for Parkinson’s” and it’s a fundraiser to help the local chapters of the Parkinson’s Society. The Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (formerly the Stittsville Villa) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville is holding this pie sale on Friday, April 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. And the goal for this fundraiser is to have 100 pies donated and sold. Now that’s a lot of pies! These pies will not only raise lots of funds for the Parkinson’s Society but also will provide a great selection for those who drop in to the Stittsville Seniors Community for the pie sale. And, indeed, those in the community are not only welcome to drop in on Friday, April

24 to purchase a pie or tarts but also are welcome to donate a pie for the event as well. All pie donations have to be delivered to the Stittsville Seniors Community on Stittsville Main Street on Thursday, April 23 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. or before 9 a.m. on Friday, April 24. Anyone wanting more information about donating a pie or pies to the fundraiser should phone 613-720-4803. This is the third annual pie sale held at the Stittsville Seniors Community, with the Parkinson’s Society selected as the recipient this year because Parkinson’s touches the lives of many of the residents at the Stittsville Seniors Community. This year’s pie sale in fact is being held as a fundraiser in memory of Reno Casagrande, a Stittsville Seniors Community resident who battled Parkinson’s and who passed away last year.

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Early in the course of the disease, symptoms are movement related including shaking, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking. Later, thinking and behavioral problems may arise, with dementia commonly occurring in the advanced stages of the disease. Depression is a common symptom. Parkinson’s disease is more common in older people, with most cases occurring after the age of 50. There is no specific known cause for most cases of Parkinson’s disease although a small proportion of cases can be attributed to known genetic factors. A person can live with Parkinson’s for years as symptoms can be treated with medication. Parkinson’s can progress at a differ-

ent rate for different people. The Parkinson Society Canada is the national voice of Canadians living with Parkinson’s. Through regional partners and 240 chapters and support groups, the organization provides educational workshops, conferences, seminars, printed resources and support services to those with Parkinson’s. Parkinson Society Canada is also a major contributor to Parkinson’s research in Canada. In 2012, for instance, Parkinson Society Canada invested $1.7 million to fund 33 innovative pilot projects, clinical fellowships and studentships for researches to ensure that Canada continues to have top scientists working on the study of Parkinson’s. Since 1981, Parkinson Society Canada has invested more than $24 million to fund over 450 Canadian research initiatives.

Anglican Church in Richmond to host Alzheimer presentation Special to the News

News - It’s called “Heads Up For Healthier Brains.” It’s a presentation about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and it will be taking place this Sunday, April 19 at 11:30 a.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. Everyone is welcome to attend although registration is required by phoning 613-838-9643 or 613-838-6075 or emailing info@saintjohnsrichmond.ca. There is no cost to attend. The presentation will deal with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, the differences between normal memory loss and memory loss due to dementia, the ten warning signs for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and tips for maintaining a healthy brain. The programs and services provided by the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County will be explained. This presentation is sanctioned by the Alzheimer’s Society and will be facilitated by Ian Henderson. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for about 60 percent to 70 percent of cases of dementia. It is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time.

The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events. The cause for most Alzheimer’s cases is still mostly unknown except for a small percentage of cases where genetic differences have been identified as the cause. Alzheimer’s is a disease that attacks the brain and is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are not the same thing. You can have a form of dementia that is completely unrelated to Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia is not a disease. It is a group of symptoms that affect mental tasks like memory and reasoning. It can be caused by a variety of conditions of which the most common is Alzheimer’s disease. As dementia progresses, forgetfulness and confusion grow. It becomes harder for a person to recall names and faces. Dementia is a problem of the brain that a person is more likely to develop as the person ages. Alzheimer’s disease, on the other hand, is a progressive disease of the brain that slowly impairs memory and cognitive function. The exact cause is unknown and there is no cure.

Butterfly gardens to be topic of April Horticultural Society meeting Butterfly gardens will be the topic for guest speaker Joan Harvey of the Monarch Teacher Network of Canada at the April meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. This meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre at the corner of Pretty Street and Orville Street in Stittsville. The Monarch Teacher Network is a collective of educators and nature enthusiasts who teach and inspire people to connect with nature through hands-on training and pro-

fessional development workshops. These educators believe that by bringing nature to the classroom, students can connect in an authentic way to the natural world. Not only does the Monarch Teacher Network educate about conservation but it is actively working to restore monarch habitat. Hence the emphasis in the presentation on butterfly gardens, particularly to help monarch butterflies. Monarch Teacher Network volunteers have installed monarch habitat in various places in Canada including in Ottawa.

It all began in New Jersey in 2001 when 18 teachers were trained at the very first “Teaching & Learning with Monarch Butterflies” workshop. In 2003, the movement expanded to Canada and the first workshop was held in Kingston. In 2014, the Monarch Teacher Network in Canada hosted 11 workshops focused on teaching skills and concepts that inspire people to share what they have learned in schools and communities. The monarch butterfly is considered in trouble today as its popula-

tion continues to decrease. Its migration is considered to be endangered. The monarch is probably the most familiar butterfly in North America with the orange and black pattern on its wings. The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late summer/autumn migration from parts of Canada and the United States to Mexico, covering thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return northward. Habitat restoration is a primary

goal in monarch conservation efforts. Habitat requirements change during migration. During the fall migration, butterflies must have access to nectar producing plants. During the spring migration, butterflies must have access to larval food plants sand nectar plants. The public is welcome to attend the April 21 horticultural society meeting although there is a $4 charge for guests. Memberships are available at $15 each or $25 for a family. For information, email SGHorticultural@gmail.com .

Blood donor clinic set for April 22 at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville Special to the News

News – A community blood donor clinics hosted by Canadian Blood Services will be held in Stittsville on Wednesday, April 22. It will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catho-

lic School on Stittsville Main Street. To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinics, please visit the website www. blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). There is always a need for blood donations as it often requires numer-

ous units of blood to help just one patient. Indeed, every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. Blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever.

A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the

blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation.

Oasis reaches out with information session in Kanata April 20 Seniors Fair to caregivers of individuals suering from mental illness There are various housing options available for persons suffering from the symptoms of mental illness. These various options do have implications for caregivers of these people. All of this will be discussed at an upcoming meeting hosted by The Oasis in Kanata, a community outreach program of the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata for caregivers of those suffering from the symptoms of a mental illness. This free information session which is open to all those caring for a person suffering from the symptoms of mental illness will be held on Monday, April 20 starting at 7 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata. Representatives from three local organizations which deal with such housing will be on hand at this information session. A speaker from the Crisis Bed Unit of the Ottawa General Hospital’s Mobile Crisis Team will de-

scribe the variety of clients served, some of the housing possibilities available to them and how this is all managed. A speaker from Ancoura, an organization dedicated to providing affordable housing and supportive community environments for adults living with a mental illness, will discuss the organization’s origins and how its solutions differ from other housing options. A speaker from the Mental Illness Caregivers Association will explain that organization’s activities, its Housing Trust program and general issues of advocacy in housing matters for those suffering from the symptoms of mental illness. For those interested in attending this free information session, a report published by the Mental Health Commission of Canada in 2013 entitled “Turning the Key: Assessing Housing and Related Supports for Persons Living with Mental Health problems and Illness� does provide

an overview of the housing situation for the mentally ill across Canada. This report is available at www.mentalhealthcommission.ca and is also on the website of The Oasis in Kanata at www.TheOasisKanata.ca . The community re-integration of persons suffering from the symptoms of mental illness which took place across Canada throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s was based on the premise that a person with a mental illness would be better cared for and would recover from their illness with appropriate medical and psychiatric supports if they were close to family caregivers and community peers. Since then, several studies have shown that this strategy has not been entirely successful. Emotionally and financially stressed caregivers is one concern. Caregivers also have concerns about how and where to find appropriate housing for their loved ones when they can no longer shelter and care for them, either due to their own

illness, a lack of sufficient finances, a worsening of the mental illness of the loved one or their own death, which leaves the loved one without the support of a caregiver. This upcoming information session will explore all of these caregiver concerns as well as other issues affecting caregivers for those suffering from the symptoms of mental illness. The Oasis in Kanata not only hosts free information sessions for caregivers of those suffering from the symptoms of a mental illness but also offers a monthly caregiver support group facilitated by program manager Gerald Joy, a professional social worker with experience in the mental health field. For information about this upcoming free information session on Monday, April 20 or about other programs of The Oasis in Kanata, please email info@TheOasisKanata.ca or leave a voice message for the program manager Gerald Joy at 613-435-1100.

A seniors health fair is happening in Richmond on Monday, April 20. It will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the St. John’s Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street. There will be free screenings and demonstrations as well as information available about various resources. Exhibitors at this seniors health fair will include Home Instead, Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS), Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, City of Ottawa Parks and Recreation, Ottawa Public Health, Visavie (an advisory service to help seniors find a retirement home as well as assist with emergency relocation, family mediation and moving assistance), Richmond Lodge Retirement Community, Richmond Fair and more. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Mother’s forgetfulness has entire family on hunt I could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast. It didn’t sound like her usual early morning bustle. There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasn’t the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm. When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her. She was halfway into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat. “I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,” and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang. “Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And before any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them. I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and that’s all there is to it.” She sure was agitated. We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the house for the search. We even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door. Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas. “I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It looks to me like

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Mother has gone and lost something again.” Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up to the front lid, slamming it as she did so. “Very strange it is to me,” Mother said. “How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.” She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove. Father suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, “Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and we found it on the seat of the Model T,” he offered. “Those pictures were right there,” she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack. “Well, there’s nothing more to do about them now,” she said with a big sigh. “But tonight we all search again. I promised those pictures to Aunt Freda, and I will keep her letter over for one more day, but they better turn up this evening.” I wondered what would happen if they didn’t. Now, we had a long lane going into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road. Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didn’t manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school. We could always tell if there were letters in the box,

because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane. Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who announced that she hadn’t found the pictures and she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping. She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous. “Well, what do you know about that?” she said. ”Aunt Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week. Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And was looking forward to hearing about my spring planting coming up.” Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to Father. He had enough on his mind with trying to get the last of the seeding done and all. It wasn’t to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it. I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week. Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details.

The Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) wants to broaden its clientele to serve more than just seniors and adults with disabilities, according to its executive director. Mary Acton-Bond said the organization’s board of directors approved a new five-year strategic plan in December that centres on turning ROSSS into a support hub for all rural south residents. ROSSS does provide some services to the Richmond area. Currently the organization mostly supports seniors and adults with disabilities. ROSSS runs a Meals on Wheels program, regular outreach activities, preventative health clinics and transportation services for clients who would otherwise be stuck at home. But Acton-Bond said rural services are so lacking across all areas that it makes sense to put ROSSS’s expertise to work to support other groups as well. “We would like to be that door, that referral source, that connection point to put you in touch with the right people,” she said. Partnerships

That will involve partnering with organizations that don’t necessary have the resources to serve the rural population, be that legal aid, a mental health outreach program or a specific support group like the Acquired Brain Injury Association, for example. “The urban organizations would like to have a presence in the rural area, but don’t have the capacity to take on the space,” Acton-Bond said. “If we can say we have a desk open on

Wednesdays for your counselling program, we can make that happen.” While mental health support is the first gap to come to mind, Acton-Bond said ROSSS has lots of expertise in things like transportation services that can be used to help other populations – youth, for example. “The rural teen has the same isolation issues as a senior, almost,” Acton-Bond said. “If we can help youth gain some independence, we would like to support that as well.” To kick-start the transition, ROSSS is asking for community feedback through a short survey on the kinds of services needed in the rural south community. Survey

“ROSSS is now ready to take the next step and is looking for input from residents of Rural Ottawa South to ensure that this hub will meet the unique needs of our community,” ActonBond wrote in an introductory letter. The survey asks for feedback on the types of barriers facing every group, from women to francophones to queer and transgender communities. It also asks participants to list what they feel are the community’s greatest strengths when it comes to services offered. The survey can be completed online at rosss. ca or in print at the head office in Manotick’s Dickinson Square. It can also be printed off and mailed into the office. ROSSS will also host three forums this spring: two small focus groups for volunteers and clients respectively, and a larger community forum on May 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. The location has yet to be determined, but residents are encouraged to watch for details at rosss.ca.


Here and there around the village of Richmond

News – Long time Richmond resident Eric Moore, who had been residing at the Carleton Lodge, passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2015. He was 92. He was predeceased by his wife Betty as well as by his brother Ken Moore and his sister Dorothy Brown. He is survived by his children Janet (Garry Joslin) and Sean (Vera). He is also survived by five grandchildren and one great grandchild. Eric was an active member of the Richmond Curling Club and parishioner of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. A memorial service was held at St. John’s on Fowler Street on Tuesday, April 14. Memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society or to St. John’s Anglican Church would be appreciated by the family….A “Richmond Clean Up The Village Day” organized by the Richmond Village Association will be taking place on Saturday, April 25. Registration for those wishing to participate can be done by emailing Kristinequarrington@richmondvillage.ca or linda.besharah@richmondvillage. ca . Supplies for the cleanup will be able to be picked up on that Saturday, April 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the TD Canada Trust branch at the Richmond Village Marketplace

shopping area at Shea Road and Perth Street…. The work that the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation does at the Maplesoft Centre is much more extensive than reported in an article about the “Ends for an End to Cancer” fundraiser which was held at the Richmond Curling Club on Saturday, March 28. It was reported at that time that the Maplesoft Centre had helped about 100 families through its cancer coaching service which helps cancer patients understand their diagnosis and how to cope with it. Well, it is not 100 families – it is over 2,000 families since the Maplesoft Centre opened. It’s great to know that the Maplesoft Centre is providing such help through its cancer coaching service but the number also shows that many people are being affected by cancer, making it all that much more important that funds be raised and cures found for cancer…At the Richmond Village Association’s general meeting on Tuesday, April 7, those present voted for a change that will see the Association’s Board of Directors be composed of “up to” 12 directors, replacing the previous wording that called for a Board of Directors of 12 directors. The minimum number of directors is three…
