Watoto Children’s Choir to perform in Stittsville Special to the News

Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville moves along in his “Mission To A Million” thanks to $10,000 from Pointe of Grace Dance Company. See page 3

News - A renowned choir that has performed at the White House, at Buckingham Palace and at national parliaments is coming to Stittsville. The Watoto Childcare Ministries choir, which features children singing, dancing and celebrating a story of hope, travels the world annually, advocating for the 14 million children currently orphaned as a result of HIV/ AIDS in Africa. This Watoto Children’s Choir presents “Concerts of Hope” in churches, community halls and schools. In Stittsville, this choir will be performing at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street on Saturday, May 24 at 7 p.m. There are no tickets necessary but a freewill offering will be taken up during the performance.

ning and children are very much welcome to attend. The choir is an outreach initiative of the Watoto Childcare Ministries which was founded in Kampala in Uganda in 1994 by Gary and Marilyn Skinner. They did this in response to the plight of Africa’s millions of children orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS. Currently Watoto Childcare Ministries cares for over 2,600 Ugandan children in children’s villages where every child is raised in a family setting rather than in an institutional one. The hope is that these children will become the future leaders of Uganda and Africa. This all came about as a result of a visit by Gary Skinner, who is a pastor, to a 79 year old widow in Uganda one day. She was the mother of seven children and as they walked to her hut, she pointed out the graves of six of her children and told Gary Skinner that her last surviving daughter was also dying of AIDS. This visit became one of the deﬁning moments of Gary Skinner’s life and he decided to take action, founding the Watoto Childcare Ministries. In addition to this initiative to champion the cause of orphaned children in Africa, Marilyn Skinner became committed to restoring the dignity of HIV infected women left to bear the brunt of AIDS, war and social injustice.

Here comes the Big Bike! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Big Bike is coming to Stittsville. This 30-passenger bike, which weighs 2,000 pounds and has 150 feet of chains and sprockets in its makeup, is a longtime fundraising initiative of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Now in its 21st season, the Big Bike last year attracted over 40,000 riders in more than 200

communities, raising $7 million for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Big Bike will be in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 21 and now the challenge is for enough teams or individuals to come forward to keep the bike rolling every 30 minutes. The route will begin and end at the Stittsville Sobey’s parking lot. See THE BIG BIKE, page 2

The Big Bike Continued from page 1

The route, expected to take from 15 to 20 minutes to complete, will see the Big Bike go south on Carp Road to Stittsville Main Street, then north on Stittsville Main Street to Hazeldean Road and then west on Hazeldean Road back to the Stittsville Sobeys parking lot. So far, four teams have signed up to pedal the Big Bike around its route in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 21 but more teams are needed. It is hoped to have as many as 15 teams taking part in the event which will go ahead rain or shine. One seat on the Big Bike is taken up by the driver but the other 29 seats are for participants. Some of the teams will have a full complement of 29 participants while other teams may have just half that number. Individuals are also welcome to sign up. They will be placed on a team. The Heart and Stroke Foundation will provide a sign for the front of the Big Bike identifying the team that is pedaling the bicycle. It could be a team from a particular business or a team representing a community group or association. Participants are expected to raise a minimum of $50 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in

order to participate. Those who raise $100 will receive a t-shirt while those who raise $500 will receive a cow bell and be entered in a draw for a cruise valued at $7,500. The cow bell is given as this Big Bike program of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. Participants must be at least 14 years of age and also all participants must be able to mount the bicycle under their own steam. Jeff Larocque, area coordinator for the Big Bike program for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, notes that the funds raised go towards research as well as to support the use of defibrillators. This Big Bike program, while a physical exercise, is something that any healthy person can do. Indeed, one of the goals of the program is to expose people who may not be exercising much to the thrill and exhilaration of physical activity. It is hoped that this Big Bike experience will set them on a road to more physical activity and better health as a result. The Big Bike experience is also a team-building experience which can be useful for businesses and organizations which value such experiences. In addition, taking part in the Big Bike event is a very public way of showing support for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Mr. Larocque notes that people like to be seen supporting a worthy cause like the Heart and Stroke Foundation and moving along the road in traffic pedaling this Big Bike does draw attention. The Big Bike also has the capability of playing music during a ride and it can be whatever kind of music the participants want. The Big Bike is accompanied by police cars on the ride to ensure a safe experience for all – both the Big Bike participants and other traffic on the road. A Big Bike pilot project in Stittsville was tried last year and has led to this larger effort this year. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward coun-

cillor Shad Qadri took part in a Big Bike ride in Stittsville last year. “I enjoyed every moment of that ride,” he said when information about this year’s Big Bike event in Stittsville was presented at the Stittsville Village Association’s executive meeting on Thursday, May 8. This Big Bike event in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 21 is one of nine Big Bike rides scheduled to take place in the Ottawa area this year. Others are happening at the Kanata Research Park, downtown on Sparks Street (twice), in Manotick, at the Byward Market, on Preston Street in Ottawa, at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and at Ottawa city hall. Mr. Larocque has set a fundraising goal of $251,500 in total for these nine Big Bike events, part of a nine and a half million dollar Canadian goal.

To register a team or just yourself for the Big Bike ride in Stittsville or for more information, please contact Jeff Larocque, the area coordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, by phone at 613-727-5060, ext. 238 or via email at jlarocque@hsf.on.ca. There is also online registration available on the Big Bike website at www.bigbike.ca. By riding and fundraising for the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike, participants are raising funds that will help achieve two Heart and Stroke Foundation health goals for all Canadians in the future, namely to reduce Canadians’ rate of death from heart disease and stroke by 25 percent while reducing risk factors by ten percent by the year 2020 and, secondly, to meet a $300 million commitment to fund critical research at Canada’s top institutions over a ten year time frame.

$10,000 boost for Tysen Lefebvre’s campaign Special to the News

News - Tysen Lefebvre’s campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario has gotten a $10,000 boost thanks to the Pointe of Grace Dance Company of Stittsville. This is the proceeds from the “Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcase” involving dancers from the Pointe of Grace Dance Company which was held on Sunday, April 13 at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. All of the proceeds from the event were donated to “Tysen’s Mission To A Million” at a presentation ceremony at the Pointe of Grace Dance Company’s

dance studio on Iber Road last Saturday. Tysen presented Pointe of Grace Dance Company owners Amanda Leroux and Carly Sherwin with a framed photo and story of his visit to the dance studio. There also was a special giant cake at the ceremony which Tysen ofﬁcially cut. Tysen Lefebvre, 13, is a Stittsville youth who attends Goulbourn Middle School. He was born with a rare genetic disorder called Pfeiffer Syndrome. So far in his life, he has had over 26 surgeries, beginning when he was only nine days old. Tysen himself was fortunate enough to have

his wish granted by the Make A Wish Foundation as he got to ﬂy to Los Angeles and meet Adam Sandler, his favourite actor. He was inspired by Adam’s generosity and decided that he too wanted to give back, just like Adam does. This is how his “Mission To A Mission” campaign started, as he is trying to raise one million dollars so that Make A Wish Eastern Ontario can grant 100 wishes. This will mean that 100 youth facing life threatening or serious medical conditions will experience the joy of having a wish granted, just like he did.

So far, Tysen’s campaign has raised over $82,000. The campaign has received donations from local schools, the Stittsville District Lions Club, Kanata Toyota and fundraising evenings at Boston Pizza at Kanata Centrum. On Tuesday, April 22, all Lone Star restaurants in Ottawa not only had all staff members wearing Tysen’s Mission To A Million t-shirts rather than their normal cowboy hats and plaid shirts but also ten percent of all restaurant sales from 5 p.m. to closing that day were directed to Tysen’s Mission To A Million. . On Saturday, May 3, Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario hosted a new “Four Wishes” event at FunHaven in Ottawa, with all of the proceeds going to “Tysen’s Mission To A Million” campaign.

Stittsville Sobeys donates $700 to SVA Special to the News

News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) now has $700 thanks to Stittsville Sobey’s and the power play of the Ottawa Senators.. Stittsville Sobeys owner Tim LaPlante presented the $700 donation to the SVA at its monthly executive meeting on Thursday, May 8. The funds are from Stittsville Sobeys sponsorship of a promotional program in partnership with Team 1200 radio and the Ottawa Senators. For this past March, Stittsville Sobeys was

offering $100 to its chosen community organization, namely the SVA, for every power play goal scored by the Senators during the month. It turned out that the Senators scored seven power play goals this past March, meaning that Stittsville Sobey’s would donate $700 to the SVA. This donation happened at the May 8th meeting of the SVA executive. The SVA uses funds not only to help with administrative costs such as postage, bank charges, insurance and other such expenditures but also to assist with expenses related to the community events that it hosts such as Arts in the Park and the Canada Day celebrations.

News - Marilyn Jenkins has stepped down from her participation with the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). She attended her last SVA executive meeting on Thursday, May 8 where she announced her withdrawal from participation with the SVA, ending three years of involvement which included serving two years as president. She was also a key volunteer with the fundraising rain barrel sales which the SVA organized and with the organization of the annual Christmas Parade of Lights, among other SVA initiatives. She represented the SVA on the Coalition of Citizens Groups opposed to the expansion of the Carp Road landfill site. Ms. Jenkins received a round of applause from members of the SVA executive in appreciation of all of her work and involvement with the SVA after she had announced her intention

to end her active participation with the SVA executive at the conclusion of the May 8th executive meeting. Current SVA president Phil Sweetnam, who followed Ms. Jenkins in the president’s role, praised her for her outstanding commitment to the SVA and called her an “excellent mentor” in helping him serve as the SVA president. The Jenkins name has been involved with the SVA since its formation. David Jenkins, Marilyn’s husband, was a longtime SVA director who handled the SVA planning portfolio, commenting on various development proposals which came forward over the years. Mr. Jenkins stepped down as an SVA director at last November’s annual general meeting of the SVA. Ms. Jenkins, as immediate past president of the SVA, was continuing to be involved with the SVA but her involvement has now ended with her announcement at the May 8th meeting.

Opening of time capsule at Holy Spirit anniversary Special to the News

News - The opening of a 25 year old time capsule was a highlight of a 25th anniversary celebration at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Monday, May 5. The time capsule, created by students and staff at the school in its initial 1988-89 year, had been locked up for the past 25 years before being opened by the school’s inaugural principal Bob Slack who was presented for the 25th anniversary event. And just what was uncovered when the time capsule was opened? There was the school’s first newsletter, a staff photo, “New Kids on the Block” stickers, neon laces, a program from the school’s official opening on Oct. 12, 1989, and envelopes filled with class photos and student work. All of the contents of the time capsule are being circulated to the various classes at the school to give today’s students an opportunity to view the items. In addition, the school’s current students are being asked to create items to place in a new time capsule that will be locked up, to be opened in 25 years from now. The contents of both the time capsule which has been opened after 25 years and the new time capsule will be on display at the school’s annual BBQ event in June so that the items can

be seen and compared before the new time capsule is locked up. At the anniversary celebration, all of the assembled students and staff, along with the special guests which included Ottawa Catholic School Board Director of Education Julian Hanlon, Board superintendent Mary Donaghy, Board chair Ted Hurley, Board trustee John Curry, members of the inaugural staff and Monsignor Joseph Muldoon of Holy Spirit Parish, sang a collective “Happy Birthday, Holy Spirit” in honour of the school’s 25th anniversary or birthday. In his remarks at the ceremony, Ottawa Catholic School Board Director of Education Julian Hanlon noted that Holy Spirit School was highly respected in the Stittsville community. He congratulated staff members, both former and present, for providing 25 years of Catholic education in the community. Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee John Curry, in his remarks, noted that Holy Spirit School was the first Catholic school established in Stittsville, coming 170 years after the founding of the community. He commented that the establishment of Holy Spirit School in the community led to the establishment of Holy Spirit Parish and to the eventual opening of Guardian Angels Catholic School and St. Stephen Catholic School as well as Sacred

Heart Catholic High School. Trustee Curry also presented principal Caroline Tarrant with laminated bookmarks for distribution to students and staff. The bookmarks celebrated the school’s 25 years of providing Catholic education in the community and also included an outline of the school’s history. Members of the school’s inaugural staff who were present at the celebration included principal Bob Slack, office administrator Debbie Moore, custodian Mike Poole and teachers/staff members Bob Santos, Linda Scrivens, Rita Ovington, Tilly O’Connor, Grace Anderson, Val Moodie, Tamara Creaser and Carole Conway. Members from the school’s initial Parent Councils who were in attendance included Stephen Grant, Jan Haubrich, Leslie Haubrich and Susan MacDonald.

The contract to build the 40,000 square foot, 532 pupil-place school was awarded to Mueller-Hein Corporation in Aug. 1988 at a cost of $3,396,000. In Sept. 1988, students of the new school were housed at St. Martin de Porres Catholic School in Glen Cairn until the new building was ready in the spring. It was on May 23, 1989 that the students and staff moved into the new building on Stittsville Main Street. By 1997, the school had 785 students and was using 15 portables. An extension was added to the rear of the school to house additional washroom facilities. In the 1999-2000 school year, the new Guardian Angels Catholic School was housed at Holy Spirit School awaiting the opening of that new school. This opening of Guardian Angels Catholic School happened in April 2000.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your social responsibility

ha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry/â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bout tomorrow Hey, hey, hey If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old enough to remember that 1967 song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ideals, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis. For a host of reasons, the majority of baby boomers failed to plan adequately for their retirement. Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past age 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more troubling that the next generation of Ontarians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get past todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial obligations to set a little aside for a secure tomorrow. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents. There simply is no extra money for a nest egg. Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to explode into a full-scale financial crisis. Almost 1.3 million workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new jobs are being created by small businesses that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer a pension plan for employees. At the same time, many Ontarians just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saving for retirement. Experts say you need 50-70

per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but many Ontarians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet this target. The bigger cause for concern is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sticking our heads in the sand and pretending it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening. Employers and workers must be encouraged to take responsibility for their financial futures. Government and business agree that fixing Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change. The Canadian Association of Retired Persons is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree more. The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of pooled registered pension plans to Ontario workplaces and we think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right way to go. Both employers and employees contribute to the plans, that are managed by independent financial professionals. They should follow a working Ontarian from job to job. Inadequate financial preparedness should be socially taboo. We need our young people to buy into the idea of retirement planning. They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

Bidding a fond farewell to an Ottawa institution

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrass Jay Stone completely and call him an Ottawa institution. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my excuse for writing about a longtime friend, retiring after more than 40 years in daily newspapers. To clarify: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa institutionâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean bad Ottawa institution, like the Senate or Lenny the Lynx; it means good Ottawa institution, like beavertails or the Mayfair Theatre. Jay has been writing about movies in the Citizen for the last 20 years. His stuff has been consistently smart, funny and entertaining and readers are going to miss it when he retires at the end of this month. Ottawa is full of people who, although they may never have met Jay personally, want to see what he says about a movie before they decide to go see it. In any city, a critic has influence. A good review can bring people out to see a movie or buy a book; a bad review can sink a restaurant or a play. Good critics are aware of their power and use it wisely. Bad ones just want to make a reputation. Good critics have a love for their subject, be it food, literature, drama or film. Bad critics have a love for themselves.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town It goes without saying that Jay Stone is a good critic and has been ever since he started writing about movies full-time in 1994. I think that what distinguishes his writing, and makes him the best in the country, is that he has never lost his enthusiasm for movies. Most critics inevitably tire of the thing they write about. They get so that they have read too many books, seen too many movies. Everything bores them. They become obsessed with technique â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with camera angles, set design, whatever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they lose the ability to react emotionally to a moving story, to laugh at a funny line. Reading their stuff, you can almost see them dragging themselves out of bed in the morning, dreading the prospect of seeing another damn movie.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that from Jay, never have. I can bet you that when you read his last review in a couple of weeks it will be fresh, it will be respectful without being gushy and it will show a real effort to come to grips with what the filmmaker was trying to do. (Aside to Jay: donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me down on this.) Having a respect for movies should not be confused with loving all movies uncritically. Stone devotees always look forward to his one-star reviews, where he unleashes the full range of his considerable comic scorn on a movie that truly deserves it. But, interestingly, there are not many of those, just as there are not many five-star reviews â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a handful over the years. He reserves the onestars for the truly awful and the five-stars for the truly great. The great majority of movies are neither. By the way, early on Jay didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use stars, thinking that they oversimplified matters. The star system was imposed on him from on high, to his discomfort, but it at least gives his readers the opportunity to savour the fives and the ones. For Jay, respecting a movie means that you approach it on its own terms. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a summer big-explosion movie, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dismiss it because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like big explosions.

Instead you try to figure out whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good explosion movie or not. Does it succeed in what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to do? The same goes for rom-coms or Iranian art films. Famously, Jay gave four stars to the 1994 movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, because, in his mind, it succeeded in what it was trying to do, whatever that was. Less famously, he has, on rare occasions, aimed genuine anger at movies he considers exploitive and dishonest. He has served the movies well and, more important, his readers. What the heck: five stars.

The Bethany Hope Centre, the Youville Centre and Waupoos Family Farm are three local nonproďŹ t organizations with two things in common. First, they are community organizations that focus on helping various at-risk groups in the Ottawa area. Second, they will be opening their doors to the public this year during Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual architectural exploration event, Doors Open Ottawa (DOO), taking place June 7 and 8 across the city. The Youville Centre, at 150 Mann Avenue in Sandy Hill, has been around for 27 years. It strives to help young mothers by providing a quality education, good nutrition, encouragement and support to both mother and child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mandate is to motivate, educate and nurture,â&#x20AC;? says Heather Heagney, the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Communication and Community Developer. To date, the centre has helped approximately 800 young mothers, serving 48 women at a time and seeing an annual graduating class that averages 20. But the Youville Centre doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only serve mothers; it also offers weekly support groups and individual counselling for young fathers. This is the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year participating in Doors Open. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within close walking distance of other event participants such as the Embassy of Algeria, Diane A. GagnĂŠ Financial Services and Laurier House National Historic Site. Heagney says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to increase our visibility in the Ottawa community so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inviting people to come and see the work that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? ........

Reptiles at Banting John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Reptiles rock! Just ask students at Frederick Banting Alternate Program school in Stittsville who were visited by reptile enthusiast, researcher and advocate Tom Wellum and some of his collection of reptiles, many of them rescue animals. He calls his reptile education program “Reptiles Rock!” and the Frederick Banting students would agree that this is a most appropriate and fitting name. Mr. Wellum and his reptiles including snakes, a turtle and a tarantula were at the school on Wednesday, May 7, with students crowding the classroom of teacher Janet Perry to see the reptiles and even get to hold them. It all began with Mr. Wellum taking the reptiles out of their travelling containers one by one and explaining to the students what that partiuclar reptile or animal is and telling something about its natural habitat and its life style. All of the reptiles associated with Mr. Wellum JOHN CURRY/METROLAND are used to be handled and are Frederick Banting Alternate Program student friendly and can be held and Morgan Scott plays with a Bearded Dragon Lizard even played with by people. which the “Reptiles Rock” program brought to the Mr. Wellum showed the stuschool in Stittsville on Wednesday, May 7. dents a baby Anaconda snake

from South America; a Bearded Dragon lizard that is native to Australia; a box turtle that can live up to 85 years old ; a King snake which eats other snakes including rattle snakes; a Ball Python snake that can live up to 35 years; a Tarantula which has no brain, eight legs and two feeding arms, and although it can sting like a bee, it is a fragile creature that can be easily killed; an albino Burmese Python; and a large Burmese Python, about 75 pounds in weight at present, who eats piglets and rodents, although usually is fed only once every three months. Mr. Wellum also had with him a couple of ferrets which are not reptiles but since Mr. Wellum operates an animal rescue operation, he ended up with them. Both ferrets, one only small, are perpetually playful and Mr. Wellum maintained that proper care eliminates any smell from them. These two ferrets did not smell, betraying the common fallacy that ferrets are stinky animals. Mr. Wellum prides himself on giving people a reptile experience in a safe and interactive way that allows people to experience reptiles as beautiful creatures and not as fearsome beasts as they are sometimes

portrayed. Among the reptiles currently in Mr. Wellum’s reptile collection are a Burmese Python named Thor; a green Iguana named Kermit; a Leopard Gecko named Clover; a King snake named Edgar; a Tarantula named Theressa; an Australian

Water Dragon named Mira; a Savannah Monitor named Lola; a Leopard Tortoise named Dozer; a Chameleon named Danny B.; a Baby Dwarf Caiman named Snappy; and a Ball Python named Leonides. Not all of these reptiles visited Frederick Banting with Mr. Wellum.

NEWS In 2013, the City was working on a Land Evaluation and Area Review update which was delayed due to inadequate soils mapping. In May, the City will begin an update of its soils mapping in rural Ottawa to improve the information it uses to protect agricultural land and to guide future land use planning. With guidance from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Rural Affairs in Guelph, soil experts working for the City of Ottawa will ask land owners for permission to sample and map soils conditions in two to three test areas. Landowners within the test areas will be contacted by City of Ottawa Rural Affairs staff in May about the ďŹ eld survey staff accessing their lands to conduct the survey. The results of this work will lead to the development of a more comprehensive survey in 2015 to cover the remainder of the City. This update is being undertaken in conjunction with provincial staff. The Province uses soil capability mapping to determine and protect the most productive lands for farming. Farmers use this mapping for a variety of purposes, including managing the use and distribution of fertilizer to make their farm operations more efďŹ cient. The results of the surveys undertaken in 2014-2015 will be added to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing and highly accurate topographic information to produce some of the most up-to-date and accurate soil capability mapping available in Ontario and the review of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies for the protection of Agricultural areas. This issue is of particular importance in relation to lands in between Kanata, Stittsville and Richmond. Those lands represent the highest quality agricultural in Eastern Ontario. The objective with these lands would be to have them remain in agricultural use for the foreseeable future.

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rural Expo & Food Aid Day The annual Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rural Expo and Food Aid Day is taking place at Marion Dewar Plaza and Jean Piggott Place at Ottawa City Hall (110 Laurier Avenue, West) on Friday, June 6th from 7:00am to 2:00pm. The Food Aid pancake breakfast and BBQ hamburger lunch will help the Ottawa Food Bank raise the necessary funds to sustain its beef program for a year in addition to supporting local farmers. The event will feature music and entertainment. Also during the day, the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rural Expo will help urban residents learn more about what rural Ottawa has to offer. Rural fairs, festivals, farms, farmers markets and tourist-based businesses are invited to set up an exhibit and participate in the Rural Expo.

School Bus Camera Pilot Project Last week, Transportation Committee approved a pilot project that will see a camera placed on a school bus in order to catch offenders running the lights. The goal here is to catch drivers in the act via the camera and prosecute them after the fact. The reason why this is a pilot project is because we need to test the prosecution through the courts to ensure it can be enforced. If enforceable, staff will come back to Committee & Council in 2015 with a plan to put cameras on more buses. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at Scott.

Signs of suicide Special to the News

News - Self-harm and suicide are ongoing dangers for those with a mental illness. But would you, as a caregiver of such a person or as a parent or friend, recognize the signs of such impending actions and would you know how to respond and what to do? You can learn more about all of this at an information session on selfharm, suicide and emergency planning being hosted by â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oasis in Kanataâ&#x20AC;? at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata on Tuesday, May 27 at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend this free session, with no pre-registration required. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation. Guest speaker at this self-harm, suicide and emergency planning information session will be Dr. Gretchen Conrad, a clinical psychologist with the On Track Program of the Ottawa Hospital. She will talk about how to recognize and handle the symptoms of self-harm, suicidal ideation and planning for mental illness emergencies, emphasizing the importance of crisis planning for caregivers. In her work, Dr. Conrad treats youth and adults in crisis and pro-

vides education to caregivers on the signs and symptoms of psychosis. Dr. Conrad spoke at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oasis in Kanataâ&#x20AC;? last fall on the importance of self-care for the caregiver of a person with a mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oasis in Kanataâ&#x20AC;? is a program created by Glen Cairn United Church to provide information and support for caregivers of those with mental illness. Since starting last September, it has sponsored five information sessions targeted at helping caregivers understand and cope with the challenges that they face living and caring for someone struggling with mental health issues. Over 50 people attended a session last March to hear Virginia Lafond, a soecial worker and author, speak on how caregivers can bring healing and wholeness to their loved ones and to their own lives through a process of conscious grieving. In addition to holding information sessions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oasis in Kanataâ&#x20AC;? runs a monthly caregiver support group. To discover more about this support group or about other program offerings, please contact the program manager at OasisManager@The OasisKanata or leave a voice message at 613-435-1100.

Mellow music at Gaia Java shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The mellow offerings of Montreal-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Mario Pronovost were heard at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in

Stittsville last Friday. He drove up from Montreal to perform at the Gaia Java venue, presenting a program of songs that he has written. But those in attendance received more than just the music – they also got to enjoy hearing Mario explain the sto-

aimed at helping youngsters in Africa orphaned due to the ravages of AIDS stemming from the fact that his aunt, a nun, lived and worked in Africa. Indeed, she gave him a guitar that was made in Africa and which was his first guitar. The song “Hear My Voice” which Mario wrote also was written because of a family connection. His grandmother, who is now 97 years old, missed the sound of her husband voice. He happened to be involved in radio and even was part of setting up a radio station in Calgary in 1949. In any case, Mario tracked down three recordings of his voice from his radio days and gave them to his grandmother as a Christmas gift. This also resulted in his writing of the song “Hear My Voice.” And so it went throughout the evening. For each song, Mario provided an explanation about his inspiration for writing the song. There was the song written for a woman with a heart problem whose therapy was horseback riding and walking a dog. There was the song about a backyard experience in which youngsters speaking many different languages were friends, not enemies. And yet another song about a two year love relationship that ended with just being friends. And all of these songs were

delivered in a mellow, somewhat quiet and easy listening style that just added to the captivating nature of Mario’s performance. Some of the songs were presented in French, something that rarely happens at these Gaia Java music evenings, but something which added to Mario’s performance mystic. Among the songs that he presented was “Coffee House,” which is one of the songs included on his recent CD “Don’t Let Me Fall.” These CD’s were for sale that evening for $15 each. Mario usually plays at coffee houses like Gaia Java and at private parties and events. Mario has been a guest on

Tony Copple’s radio show on Carleton University’s CKCUFM radio station. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street happen every Friday starting at 7 p.m., featuring a variety of performers with a myriad of musical styles and offerings. There is no admission charge but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, May 16, the Friday music evening at Gaia Java will feature the Zakari Frantz trio which will present a program of jazz standards.

Earth Rangers presentation at Guardian Angels john.curry@metroland.com

used to explain its features but a live demonstration of Timberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to leap between two

News - Seeing a Harris hawk and a European barn owl fly. And seeing a Pine Marten leap. These actions by live animals happened right in the gymnasium at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville in an assembly presented last Friday by representatives of the Earth Rangers, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservation organization dedicated to educating youth and families about biodiversity and inspiring them to become involved in protecting animals and their habitats. Another live animal which was part of the demonstration was a Painted Turtle perhaps appropriately named Shelly, given its hard shell. The Earth Rangers team of presenter Veronick Fournier and animal trainer Krystal White presented an hour long presentation that not only used the actions of live animals to teach the 75 students in attendance about issues facing Canadian wildlife but also used a video screen and related technology to illustrate their points. When explaining how a Painted Turtle can hibernate at the bottom of a pond for three months thanks to a slow heartbeat and a physical feature beneath its tail which allows it to breathe, the Earth Rangers used a video closeup of the turtle, broadcast on the screen, to allow the students to see the turtle up close, just as if they were handling the turtle individually. Closeup views of a live Pine Marten named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timber,â&#x20AC;? a long, slender bodied weasel-type animal that is related to the ferret, were also

Twice the Fun for online business in 2014

veryone likes to play games. The desire to unravel puzzles, solve mysteries and be the first to get to an agreed upon finish line is something we seem to be born with. In the 21st century there are all kinds of games to be played. The computer has replaced the way we do so many things from writing a letter, checking the weather and of course enjoy our games. The new ways are not all bad, just different. Given an opportunity to experience playing a real and not virtual board game, most people come away with good feelings. It is all part of enjoying playing with others. As children we experience the feeling of togetherness, having fun with our friends. Twice the Fun Games captures the essence of playing board games, card games and puzzles. The owner and operator of the online business in North Grenville, Boris Lysynski has a foot in two worlds. As a former electronic engineer he can appreciate the thrill of the virtual gaming world but as a life-time board game fanatic he also enjoys the different experience of facing an opponent in a live game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a gamer,â&#x20AC;? said Lysynski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to sit down together and have fun together.â&#x20AC;? In keeping with

his interest and enthusiasm for board games Lysynski is part of the North Grenville Gamerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Group, NG3. While Boris is growing Twice the Fun Games he is also sharing the fun with his neighbours. As part of the NG3, he has helped organize the first annual gaming convention â&#x20AC;&#x153;CoyoteConâ&#x20AC;? for North Grenville. In cooperation with Kemptville Campus, the NG3 will be hosting CoyoteCon on June 21. The event will be held at the W.B. George Centre. The room will be divided in two, explained Lysynski. One side will be ongoing live board games and on the other side will be sponsoring vendors. The always-popular Tri-Game-A-Thon typically sees 25-30 players and showcases: Ticket to Ride; Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne. The storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online presence has grown and now he feels it is time for a storefront. Twice the Fun Games has found a home in the lower level of the former Giant Tiger building across from B&H Grocers in Old Town Kemptville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be joining up with the Kemptville Crafters Market this May,â&#x20AC;? said Lysynski. Twice the Fun Games will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the market. Twice the Fun Games can be found at www.twicethefungames. ca or for more information, call 613-702-6620.

But it was the appearances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Echo,â&#x20AC;? a European barn owl, and later a Harris hawk which really wowed the students. Both of these birds actually flew untethered in the gym. A Harris hawk is a bird of prey which is unusual in that it hunts and lives in groups of three to five birds. It caused quite a stir of excitement among the students as it flew several times to the back and then the front of the gym. European barn owls, which are also known as ghost owls, are known for their silent flying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Echoâ&#x20AC;? made no noise in its flying, certainly a trait which must help in the wild when it is hunting its food source, namely rodents. The Earth Rangers, who will be presenting in over 550 schools across Canada this year, focuses in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring Back The Wildâ&#x20AC;? education program on the importance of protecting animals by preserving their natural habitats while supporting research and the acquisition and restoration of endangered habitats across the country. Each year Earth Rangers selects four animals native to Canada with populations in decline and makes them the focus of its school presentations. So at Guardian Angels last Friday, the Earth Rangers presenters told about the Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle, the Beluga whale, the western bumble bee and the barn swallow. The Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle is a turtle which has a yellow throat and chin but right now is under pressure due to habitat loss and dangers such as being killed by a vehicle while slowly crossing a road.

Earth Rangers explain about Beluga whales The Toronto zoo now has turtle nursery where turtle eggs are hatched and the baby turtles raised before being released into the wild where their existence is monitored. Beluga whales have the unique ability to communicate with each other under water using their own language, as it were, giving them a talent called eco location in which the whales use sound much like sonar to identify other objects in the water. The Beluga whale is being harmed by climate change and by an increase in sea shopping since the noise from ships impacts on the ability of the Beluga whale to communicate with other whales. The western bumble bee is found in western Canada. It flaps its wings at the rate of 200 flags per second. Its actions in nature serve to pollinate flowers, fruits and vegetables but its population is declining today due to climate change, habitat loss and other factors. Barn swallows, a bird known for its forked tail, spends the winter in Central and South America. Thousands stop over at Point Pelee National Park on Lake Erie before continuing on their migration to

the south. Barn swallows feed on mosquitoes and flies so they are good birds to have around. But they too are suffering from habitat loss, including traditional barns which are becoming fewer around the landscape. Besides this assembly featuring the live animals, Earth Rangers later conducted a workshop on water pollution for the grade five students at Guardian Angels. The Earth Rangers emphasized that youth can take little steps to help preserve the planet and its animals and birds. For instance, Earth Rangers has a program in which youth members can build homemade bird feeders which help keep birds healthy and strong. It was explained that the earth has a diverse eco system which is essentially a community of living and non-living things that interact together for the survival of all. It was pointed out that even fire plays a role in the eco system. When fire sweeps through an area, the soil gets refreshed with new nutrients. Plants such as blueberries may spring up, with blueberries being a source of food for bears.

100th for L.O.B.A. Special to the News

News - L.O.B.A. 164 of Munster is marking a milestone this year. This L.O.B.A. Lodge is holding a team on Saturday, May 31 in honour of its 100th anniversary. Lodges of the L.O.B.A. (Ladies Orange Benevolent Association) were founded beginning in 1894 in Canada to provide women with an opportunity to actively support the principles espoused by the Loyal Orange Association and to exercise benevolent activities. The Loyal Orange Association in Canada is an organization for protestant men and women who wish to preserve, maintain and promote the institution and principles of democracy in Canada while protesting their members’ faith and heritage. Orange organizations, in one form or another, have been in existence in various parts of the world since 1688 when Prime William of Orange arrived in England to defend the liberties of Englishmen and the Protestant religion.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

May 8th, 2014 City of Ottawa Speed Signs Pilot Project For the second consecutive summer the City of Ottawa Traffic Department is conducting a pilot project that began this week as a part of a traffic calming measure. Five 40km speed signs have been placed on Fringewood Drive. The flex stake signs serve a couple of purposes. They are used primarily to warn drivers of a local playground adjacent to the roadway and the potential presence of children on or near the roadway. They also serve to narrow the roadway to encourage drivers to reduce their speeds. The latter is the motive for placing the signs on Fringewood Drive. JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

‘Arts in the Park’ on June 1st Special to the News

News - It’s a week later happening this year but the slight change of date is not the only change. There’s a name change as well, with the event now being called “Arts in the Park” rather than “Artists and Authors in the Park” as it has been. This name is to better reﬂect the diversity of exhibitors which are now being solicited to display their wares at the event. Traditionally the event has been held on the last Sunday in May but this year it has been moved to one week later on the calendar.

So it is all happening this year on Sunday, June 1 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. Hosted by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), the event is expected to have over 50 exhibitors on site this year. There will be some authors including a author who writes horror stories and also an author of children’s literature. There will also be 16 to 20 artists on site as well as numerous artisans. It’s an event where you can meet and author and get a book signed or buy a work of art or purchase uniquely designed and cre-

ated jewellery and clothing. There will be activities for children such as crafts, storytelling and face painting. There will also be food available on site this year. “We tried to expand it to different people just to be more inclusive,” SVA director Doug Sutherland told the SVA executive at its May 8 meeting in explaining why others rather than just authors and artists are being accepted as exhibitors at this year’s “Arts in the Park” event. The event will also have some musical entertainment and members of the “Company of Fools” will be on hand to perform.

to 17.

The City of Ottawa is proposing new rates for development charges to fund growth in the City over the next 10 to 17 years. Development charges pay for the growth-related portion of capital costs for new roads, water, sewers, drainage, emergency services, transit, parks development, major indoor recreation facilities, libraries and growth related studies. The charges are paid by the developer per residential unit and by square footage for commercial and industrial development. In Ottawa, development charges currently account for between 2.5 to six per cent of the cost of a new house, depending on location. The current rates will remain in effect until September 30, 2014, when they will then rise in the urban area by $5,068 to $5,517 for a single or semi-detached house, depending on the charge area. This is approximately three to seven per cent of the cost of a new house. Ontario municipalities are required to update their Development Charges By-laws every five years. The Planning Committee will consider the proposed charges on May 13 and provide a recommendation to City Council for its consideration on June 11. For more information, visit ottawa.ca.

News - Waste Management has begun the rezoning process to allow for development of its proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre at its Carp Road landfill site. It has applied to the city of Ottawa for a zoning that would allow for its proposed new landfill on the site. The Environmental Assessment for this proposed new landfill has received provincial government approval but further steps now have to be taken before the landfill becomes a reality. These include a rezoning of the area where the landfill will be located as well as a provincial environmental compliance permit and a certificate of approval from the province. Tim Murphy of Waste Management, who chaired a community information session about the firm’s zoning application which was held at the NEXT Restaurant in Stittsville on Tuesday, May 6, admitted that there are still many months of work involved before the firm will be in any position to call for construction tenders related to the new landfill. “It’s some ways off,” he said with regard to when the new landfill might be in place. Harold Moore, a longtime opponent of a new landfill at the Carp Road site, claimed at the information session that Waste Management was putting the “cart before the horse” in seeking appropriate zoning for the site before getting the appropriate approvals from the province about the new landfill. Mr. Murphy noted that ideally all of the approval agencies would make a decision on the project at the same time but this is not happening so that Waste Management has filed for a zoning change for the landfill site and will later be seeking site plan approval from the city and compliance approval from the province. Mr. Moore also noted that Waste Management is referring to the proposal as a new landfill and claimed that if it is a new landfill as opposed to an expansion of the existing landfill on the site, then Waste Management will need an Official Plan Amendment as well as a rezoning. Mr. Murphy responded that the

proposed new landfill is a new footprint for the existing landfill at the site. Planner Michelle Armstrong, a consultant with the FoTenn firm which is handling the zoning application for Waste Management, claimed that the new landfill footprint is an expansion of the existing landfill site as identified in the city’s Official Plan and hence no Official Plan Amendment is required. The rezoning that Waste Management is seeking deals with the lands immediately north of the existing landfill site which has now been closed as it has reached capacity. The new landfill footprint extends from Carp Road west to William Mooney Road but does not extend as far north as the Richardson Sideroad. A number of zoning designations currently apply to the site of the new landfill footprint but Waste Management wants to rezone the whole landfill footprint site to a Rural Heavy Industrial Zone with an exception that would allow a “solid waste disposal facility” as a permitted use in the zone. It was explained at the information session that Waste Management has made three changes in its landfill proposal from what was put forward in the Environmental Assessment which the province has approved. Mr. Murphy of Waste Management said that these three changes were made by Waste Management to make the site function better from an environmental perspective but admitted that the province will have to approve such changes. The three changes, which have been included in the zoning application to the city, are larger storm water ponds for the new landfill site, a wider entrance and service road for the new landfill and moving the landfill footprint 30 metres to the west to accommodate the larger storm water ponds. Wayne Jenken of Waste Management, who is handling the site development for the firm, said that the changes were made as Waste Management gained more information as it got more involved in the design process and the geo-technical work pertaining to the new landfill footprint. He claimed that the three

changes are not significant because they are not changing the volume or other features of the new landfill such as the number of truck trips being made there. He said that the changes will improve the functioning of the site. Harold Moore commented that because of these changes, Waste Management should hold off on seeking any rezoning for the site until the province had approved the changes. Waste Management’s zoning application to the city includes a number of related planning documents pertaining to site development, servicing options including water, waste water, storm water and erosion control considerations, an Environmental Impact Statement, a landscape plan, a hydrogeology and terrain analysis and a traffic analysis. The complete application can be found on the city of Ottawa’s website. From a wildlife and wildlife habitat perspective, Waste Management’s documents claim that there are no area sensitive forest birds found in the proposed footprint site. A Bank Swallow colony in a steep bank near the south edge of the proposed new landfill will remain in place. Six amphibian species, essentially frogs, have been recorded within the footprint of the proposed new landfill. A swamp area along the north fringe of the landfill’s footprint is to remain in place. To develop the new landfill footprint, vegetation proposed for removal includes 9.5 hectares of forest, 4.0 hectares of wetland and 11.4 hectares of meadow. The forest habitat compensation plan related to this zoning application calls for replacing 9.5 hectares of forest within and immediately adjacent to the proposed landfill site. This will include planting native trees and shrubs. Because Waste Management is proposing to relocate the landfill site 30 metres to the west, this brings the new landfill closer to William Mooney Road. This reduces the amount of land available for a berm along the William Mooney Road frontage for the

site. Waste Management is proposing a forested area along William Money Road rather than a berm. Mr. Murphy of Waste Management commented that the trees would not only meet the city requirement for buffering but would have the added benefit of linking existing forested areas to the north and south, thus creating a wildlife connection corridor between the two existing forested areas. He admitted that this proposal still requires city of Ottawa approval. To gain provincial compliance approval for the new landfill footprint, Waste Management will have to develop a detailed environmental monitoring plan for both the existing closed landfill and the new landfill footprint. Waste Management is proposing a number of purge wells to extract contaminated groundwater from the site with the purge wells, if needed, to be located along the northern edge of the new landfill footprint. An alternative would be to place the purge wells along the south side of the new landfill site, between the new and old landfill footprints. But this location has not been chosen by Waste Management which has opted for the more northerly location along the northern edge of the new landfill footprint. The traffic impact assessment done for Waste Management for the zoning application provides an access to the site off Carp Road in the vicinity of the existing Laurysen Kitchens operation. The traffic impact assessment recommends a new left turn lane on Carp Road for northbound traffic, designed for trucks. The traffic impact assessment acknowledges that delays can be expected for vehicles exiting the Waste Management site during afternoon peak traffic times. This will be especially true for vehicles wanting to turn left from the site to head northbound on Carp Road. This May 6th information session was hosted by Waste Management, The city of Ottawa is holding a meeting pertaining to this zoning application on Wednesday, May 28 at the Carp Agricultural Hall in Carp.

Final spring recital for retiring piano teacher John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Piano music filled St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Saturday, May 3. It was the efforts of music students, both past and present, of Stittsville music teacher Mrs. Linda Noble at a spring recital for her students. But what made the event so special and indeed what precipitated the involvement of a number of former students was that this was the final spring recital for Mrs. Noble’s music students as she is retiring after a 12 year career as a “Music For Young Children” piano teacher in Stittsville. And so this led not only to some presentations at the conclusion of the recital with grateful parents thanking Mrs. Noble JOHN CURRY/METROLAND for her dedication and teaching Retiring piano teacher Linda Noble smiles as over the years but also resulted she receives applause as she is honoured at the in many a hug and smiles as conclusion of the final spring recital for her students students, both current ones last Saturday. and those who are former ones who returned for the occasion, shared a thought or two with their beloved teacher. Suzanne Burke, whose own three daughters have been taught by Mrs. Noble and who all performed in the recital, speaking on behalf of the parents, told Mrs. Noble that she had over the years given children not only the

gift of music but had also taught them life skills. Our children have learned more than how to play a piano, she told Mrs. Noble, citing tolerance and taking risks and learning that mistakes lead to success as examples of the additional learning that the children taking music lessons from her have acquired. She thanked her for giving her students confidence in their abilities and giving parents yet another reason to be proud of their children. Thank you for bring out their talent, Ms. Burke told Mrs. Noble with regard to the children who have studied with her. Ms. Burke presented Mrs. Noble with some gifts that will allow her to enjoy the Pocopazzo Restaurant and the Natural Food Pantry, among other local places. She also presented her with a card signed by her students, both past and present. One special aspect of these post-recital presentations was a special donation being made to the Stittsville Food Bank. That’s because Linda Noble has been a passionate advocate for the Stittsville Food Bank over the years, always insisting that her students donate a non-perishable food item for the Food Bank instead of giving

her a “teacher gift.” She did not make a Food Bank request for this final recital but the parents knew how she values the Food Bank and so they organized a food drive, with all of the students and their families urged to bring a couple of non-perishable items to the recital. These items were collected up and shown to Linda, virtually spilling out of a giant box. Stittsville Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri was on hand to thank Linda for her constant support of the Food Bank over the years. As for the recital itself, he students performed in a random way, with the order of appearance being determined by Linda drawing names out of a jar. And she announced the performer not by name but by a description placed in the jar by the student. So you had introductions like “Plays hockey for the Crusaders and goes to St. Philip’s School”; “Likes art, lego, music and skating”; “She plays ringette”; “I play soccer and have a brother who is only four months old”; “I am nine years old, have a dog, speak French and play ringette”; “My team won the hockey championship and I like chess and cheese”; “I play ringette and wear glasses”; “I play soccer and you can spell my

name backwards (Hannah)”; and “I play softball and my favourite subject is math”. Each student introduced himself or herself and the piece to be played before sitting down at the piano and playing. At the conclusion of the recital, all of the students gathered at the front and using their voices as well as hand movements, sang a song “Let me play, let me play.” A reception followed the recital and its closing presentations. Linda Noble has been a “Music For Young Children” piano teacher for the past 12 years. “Music for Young Children” is a music program developed by Frances Balodis in 1980 that would provide a comprehensive music education tailored to the strengths and abilities of young children. Today the program is taught on three continents, offering a curriculum that is consistent and current with conservatories and the music industry. In the “Music For Young Children” program, children meet in small groups with their teacher, in their own age category. The program lasts usually from three to five years depending on the child’s age, with each year consisting of about three dozen lessons.

‘Dragon’ Arlene Dickinson to speak at Brookstreet Hotel Julia Le

News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepreneur in today’s economy. Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of five venture capitalists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented by Metroland Media Group. It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr, Kanata from 7 to 9:30 a.m. Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs from June 2-13. Joining Dickinson for this special event as the entrepreneur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president and chief executive of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that, he spent 20 years as the president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd. Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the successes of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy. “The event is a celebration of Entrepreneurship Week and to showcase our community entrepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy. It is also a great opportunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amazing entrepreneurs - Arlene Dickinson and Jeff York,” said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary. “It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our community and economy. Not only are these amazing people building successful businesses but they give back O’Leary said local residents don’t have to

look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing business success stories such as the Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Ottawa Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the Myers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.” Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur. The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy. “Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, adding that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice. “I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.” Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children. Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business person. Her success and leadership has been recognized with multiple honours and awards including: Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100, the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, as well as PROFIT and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners.

Arlene Dickinson She is also chief executive of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedicated to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial lifestyle. “A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,” said Dickinson, who never received a university education, but has learned about business by taking risks and figuring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way. Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them. “For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with building and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the day, you have to be able to look deep within yourself to figure out where you’re helping the company, figure out where you’re not

helping the company and surround yourself with people who are better than you are,” she said. “That’s an old saying, but it’s a very true one.” She added that entrepreneurs need to recognize that their biggest enemy tends to be themselves. “Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection. Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal recipient, an honourary captain of the Royal Canadian Navy and is the recipient of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary’s University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. “Having Arlene Dickinson partner with us provides our readers and customers the opportunity to experience her live or read about her on our website our community newspapers,” said O’Leary. “Our brand and goal is to be connected to our communities and Arlene allows us to showcase some of the people and entrepreneurs of Ottawa by lending her time, name, and brand. Her commitment to the time in Ottawa also places a spotlight on those entrepreneurs in our community that deserve so many thanks for what they do.” Tickets to the breakfast seminar series cost $90 plus HST.

All Work and No Play: Ontario’s Retirement Crisis A Metroland Special Series: Part 3 Peter Criscione News - In Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper spends the summer singing away. When the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the hungry grasshopper must ask the ant for food. It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough money away for retirement, it could soon become a reality. According to a Sun Life Financial survey, one quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from. ”There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a matter of reaching out to a financial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global Investments. Retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement. What’s the best way to do that? Start early is the common refrain: A

21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65. Though those in their 20s may not have much money for investments, between paying off school debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial decade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean. And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save. ”People in their 30s are not necessarily thinking about retirement,” Crean said. “They should be, but they are probably just thinking about raising their kids, educating them and paying down their mortgage and maybe take a holiday.” But no matter how tight the budget, the most important rule to investing for retirement is to, well, just do it. “ ”Everyone should be doing something,” said Crean, stressing that sitting down with a financial advisor can help you rest easy at night. ”If you have $2,000 to put away I think most people would look at

that and say, ‘that’s not very much. Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say yes, absolutely.” For most people, though, investing for retirement depends on a lot of variables. ”If you’re a teacher and you have a defined benefit pension plan that has indexing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent income at retirement, you may not need as much money in the bank to augment or complement that income,” Crean explained. ”Other individuals without a pension will need a significant amount of money in RRSPs (and other investments) to generate the kind of income required at retirement.” One recent study, however, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grasshopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net. A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada. The study, titled The Reality of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the tra-

ditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/QPP, and voluntary pensions such as RRSPs, overlooks trillions of dollars in assets held by Canadians. Those assets are held in the form of home equity and other savings and largely undocumented support from family and friends. Other research paints a different picture on people’s retirement plans. BMO Financial Group in March released a report that suggests most Canadians plan to depend on the CPP after their working lives. The survey showed 90 per cent will look to the CPP in retirement, while 88 per cent will bank on RRSP savings. Close to 60 per cent will hold a part-time job to fund retirement while 49 per cent plan to sell their homes. Thirty-four per cent responded they are hoping on a lottery win to get through their golden years. But those tasked with overseeing Canada’s pension distribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk. Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Security with the average

monthly payout less than $600. With a tsunami of retirees flowing through the system in the next 20 years, government officials anticipate a burden on social programs as more people rely solely on CPP. Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of education and lack of opportunity for investment as key culprits. ”About 50 per cent of the population doesn’t have a private pension plan. A lot of people aren’t utilizing the room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said. “All this has an impact, ultimately, on our social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.” Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, financial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a financial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retirement should be a priority for everyone. ”Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey. “But people just fail to plan.”

First, we’d like to say thank you for welcoming us back into your community. These events and the feedback we receive are a large part of our public engagement program and something TransCanada takes very seriously. If it’s important to you, then it’s important to us. We also want to ensure that everyone has the facts about these important topics. Here are a few key answers to the most common questions we heard from North Gower residents: • Special measures will be adopted to ensure the protection of local water resources including using thicker-walled pipe and placing extra sensors and valves closer together in these sensitive areas. • The pipeline will be monitored 24 hours a day from our state-of-the-art control centre with the ability to shut it down in minutes anywhere along the route. Trained crews and specialized equipment will be strategically placed along the pipeline to respond quickly if needed. • TransCanada is committed to ensuring there is enough pipeline capacity to meet the current and future needs of natural gas consumers. The cost of supplying natural gas to Ontario and Quebec markets will not go up as a result of Energy East. I have been with TransCanada for 23 years and am very proud of our safety record and the people who work each day to uphold it. Thank you once again for hosting us and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to meeting with you again very soon. Please visit our website at EnergyEastPipeline.com for more information.

Sincerely,

John Van Der Put Vice-President, Energy East Pipeline Project

News - Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville was a busy place even before the school day started on Thursday, May 8. That’s because the school held its annual Catholic Education Week open house from 8:15 a.m. to 9 a.m. that morning, with parents and students streaming to the school to enjoy the activities which include a cake parade, a dance showcase, classroom visits and a foyer full of breakfast treats. The foyer featured an assortment of goodies like Timbits and fruit as well as tea and coffee. In the gymnasium, students performed in a dance showcase, giving parents a sample of their dancing skills and routines. Two rows of tables were set up in the gym where cakes and cupcakes of various designs were placed for the school’s annual cake auction parade. There were lots of cupcakes to choose from, from ones with smiley JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND faces to ones that looked like pigs to JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND With some of the cakes and cupcakes in the cake parade at Holy Spirit “super hero” ones.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be signiﬁcant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be signiﬁcant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in ﬁnding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Blood donor clinic in Richmond on May 23 Special to the News

News - A community blood donor clinic will be held in Richmond on Friday, May 23. The clinic hosted by Canadian Blood Services will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the St. Philip Parish Hall at the corner of

Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond. To book an appointment for this community blood donor clinic, visit the website www.blood.ca or call 1888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). There is always a need for blood donations and the need is ongoing.

It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. 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. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable orga-

nization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Richmond is one of these donor clinics.

Blessing of new addition and renovations at St. Philip in Richmond Special to the News

News - With a sung “Alleluia” ringing through the hallways and classrooms at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond last Friday, a trio comprising of Rev. Bob Poole, Deacon Louis Seward and principal Kathy Fischer slowly made its way along these very hallways, with Rev. Poole sprinkling holy water as he blessed the school and its new $1.5 million addition and renovations. And these hallways were lined with students and their parents, there to witness not only the official opening and blessing of the school’s addition and renovations but also to enjoy an ensuing open house and volunteer recognition assembly, all part of the celebration of Catholic Education Week by Ottawa Catholic School Board schools. The ceremony began in the school’s enlarged new foyer area with Rev. Poole noting that things are blessed in order to set them aside for the special purposes of God, adding that surely there is no greater purpose than reserving a place where the teaching and values of Jesus Christ prevail, such as at a school like St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond. Following a series of inten-

tions read by students, Rev. Poole, assisted by Deacon Seward and accompanied by principal Fischer, undertook his journey through the school, sprinkling holy water as he blessed the new addition and renovations. Following this blessing ceremony, Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee John Curry welcomed everyone to the event on behalf of the Board’s trustees and the chair Ted Hurley. He praised the Board’s facilities department for providing such an addition and renovations to St. Philip Catholic School. He presented principal Kathy Fischer with laminated bookmarks commemorating the occasion and outlining the history of the school, with the bookmarks to be distributed to the school’s students and staff as a memento of the occasion. Trustee Curry also read out a poem which he had written about the new addition and renovations entitled “Makeover in Richmond.” Following the blessing ceremony and trustee Curry’s remarks, an open house was held during which parents and visitors could visit the various classrooms in the school and witness the displays in them. In the kindergarten room,

visitors were able to see how the students have been exploring music by creating their own instruments and learning how to play them. Another kindergarten room had a solar system display hanging from the ceiling In yet another kindergarten room, students have been learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. In the grade one classroom, visitors could walk through the four seasons thanks to the descriptive writing and murals of the students. In the grade one/two classroom, writing was on display everywhere. And in the grade two classroom, it was evident that the students have been learning about simple machines and were showing that they were designing and building a machine that can lift something, move something and be played with. In the grade four classroom, QR codes allowed visitors to hear original music compositions performed on a recorder by students. Other classrooms displayed geometric shapes, exhibited “painting a picture” with words, displayed group projects, had mask projects on display, and displayed writings to explain such mysteries as why

onions make people cry and how licorice is made. In the grade six classroom, language and visual arts were integrated to help with reading comprehension and inference. Mme. Enright’s French classroom features grade six bit strips comics all about the perseverance of Terry Fox. The new addition and reno-

vations at St. Philip Catholic School involved two new kindergarten rooms, a new classroom, a new Learning Commons, conversion of the former library/computer hall into three new classrooms, a new staff room and administration area and an enhanced lobby with new exterior canopy. Total cost was

$1,573,000 with Pranger-Debruyn Construction Ltd. doing the work for the Ottawa Catholic School Board. St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond was opened in 1960 as a three room school. Additions happened in 1965 and again in 1979 while extensive renovations and upgrading were carried out in 1991.

Improvements at Legion Hall in past year Special to the News

News - The Stittsville Legion branch has carried out a number of repair and renovation projects at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in the past year. Wiring in the building needed to be brought up to scratch, with the work estimated to cost about $20,000. This cost was eventually lowered to about $7,000 when electrician Shawn Mul-

ligan used a couple of members of the Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive, namely Dave Cashman and Doug Barnett, to help with the work. The roof of the Legion Hall had to be fixed due to leaking. This cost $7,500. New fire extinguishers were purchased to replace the existing ones which did not meet the fire code. This cost $1,700.

The floor in the main hall was sanded and refinished at a cost of $2,500. New windows were installed, with the new windows being energy efficient double pane ones. This cost $16,000. The downstairs lounge got new flooring and carpeting courtesy of a flooring company. There was no cost.

Cash registers at the Legion Hall were updated to a modern touch screen system which cost about $4,000. This will allow for more efficient bookkeeping and inventory management. New cabinets were installed in the back room and wine glass racks were installed in both bar areas. Handicap bars were installed in all washrooms and other washroom improvements were made. The ramp serving the building was sanded and painted and the outside

of the buildingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side extension was painted. Although all of this work was done, the branch finished up the past year with over $65,000 in GIC savings. It began the year with $56,000 in GIC savings. A building fund was started with almost $13,000 donated. The Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive has set up a committee to look into the installation of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;life systemâ&#x20AC;? in the building so that all members would have easy access to the upstairs hall.

‘Great Escape’ in Duck Race on Jock River John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It might not merit a movie like the Second World War escape from a prisoner of war camp that led to the iconic 1963 movie “The Great Escape” but last Saturday’s seventh annual Duck Race on the Jock River in Richmond had a similar ingredient – a flee for freedom. The Duck Race itself was over in record time, seven minutes, thanks to this spring’s high water, a swift current and even a helping wind pushing the rubber duckies downriver. But while these conditions produced a record breaking time, far ahead of the previous fastest time of 17 minutes, 30 seconds achieved last year, it also meant that most of the ducks arrived tightly bunched at the red/yellow/blue barrier strung across the river 900 metres east of the McBean Street bridge which was the launching point. While the first three ducks through the opening in the barrier were easily retrieved, the ensuing flood of yellow rubber duckies through the opening overwhelmed retrievers Bill Reid and Gerry Moore and their fishing net in the recovery boat. Suddenly, thanks to the swift current, the “Great Escape” on the “mighty” Jock River was on. The duckies started floating quickly down the river, with hectic retrieval efforts with the fish net unable to keep up. And even with a second boat joining the retrieval effort, soon the ducks were far downriver thanks to the swift current, some getting beyond King Street although still not as far as the weir on the river.

Indeed, it took virtually an hour for those in the two retrieval boats to round up all of the fleeing ducks. And whereas in the movie “The Great Escape” there were three who escaped to freedom, this “Jock River Great Escape” saw all of the ducks eventually re-captured after their flight for freedom and the open waters of the Jock River. And so another chapter is added to the annual saga of this fundraising Duck Race sponsored by the Richmond District Lions Club. This “Great Escape” is the opposite of what happened one previous year when the ducks, after being dumped off the McBean Street bridge, ended up going upstream due to the lack of a current and a breeze blowing upstream. So, you just never know what will happen in this annual Duck Race, other than someone will end up winning the sizeable cash prizes. And this year the prizes were even greater because more rubber duckies were added to the flock, as it were. Previous years saw 500 yellow rubber duckies dumped into the Jock River from the McBean Street bridge. This year the number of rubber duckies used was increased to 700, all of whom were dumped from large plastic storage bins which were their own “prisoner of war” camps, as it were, off the McBean Street bridge to start the race. And with more ducks in the race, the winning prizes were larger. First prize, now $700 and up from the previous $500, went to Doug Vaughn with his Wayne Gretzky duck – yes, that’s right, number 99. Second prize of $500, up from $300 in previous years, went to Brett Gagne of Richmond thanks to duck number 671, the second one

through the opening in the river barrier. And third prize, $300, up from $200 in previous years, was won by Betty Vaughn of Richmond with duck number 522. Again this year, there was not only a crowd of onlookers at the McBean Street bridge to witness the start of the race at 1 p.m. but there was also about 40 onlookers near the finish line where the Lions had a BBQ set up. Race day this year was sunny with tempera-

tures around 21 degrees Celsius, although there was a wind, one of the factors that produced the record times. When it is all said and done, the Richmond District Lions Club expects to raise about $4,900 as a result of this year’s Duck Race. The gross income is $7,000 with $1,500 going for prizes and about $600 for expenses, leaving $4,900 for the Lions to spend helping community and Club projects and initiatives.

More ducks right in village Special to the News

News - Richmond District Lions Club member Bruce Johnson searched far and wide to try to find and purchase more yellow rubber duckies for the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Duck Race. The Club wanted to add another 200 ducks to the race on the Jock River in Richmond, increasing from

the 500 which raced in the previous six such races to 700 ducks for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. Lion Bruce, known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Duckâ&#x20AC;? for overseeing this annual Duck Race, contacted places in Chicago, Detroit and even South Carolina to try to get some additional ducks, all with no luck. The ducks just did not seem to be available any

longer. And then he found some and, lo and behold, it was right in Richmond itself, as the new Dollar World store at the Richmond Shopping Centre. Bruce was not only able to obtain the 200 additional yellow rubber duckies at Dollar World in Richmond but the store even gave him a discount on the purchase.

Military Wives Choir singing in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

With strawberries Grace McLean shows her plate of strawberries at the spring luncheon hosted by the United Church Women at Stittsville United Church in Stittsville last Saturday.

May 26 meeting

News - Last Friday, on the National Day of Honour for Afghanistan, the recently formed Canadian Military Wives Choir sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing Graceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dona Nobis Pacemâ&#x20AC;? at a special service for the Families of the Fallen in the Senate Chamber on Parliament Hill. On Tuesday, May 27 at 7 p.m., these same voices will be presenting a Canadian Military Wives Choir Showcase right here in Stittsville at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. This showcase will be an evening of song in which this choir will showcase some of the songs in its repertoire developed since its inaugural practice at the end of last September. This Canadian Military Wives Choir Showcase will not have tickets but donations will be gratefully

Military Wives Choir that was featured in a BBC documentary series, had thousands of members across 80 locations, had two albums and performed at virtually every important British event. Indeed, Sue herself sang at Buckingham Palace for the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Day speech in 2012. Last July, Sueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband transferred to the Canadian Air Force and they relocated to Stittsville. With her enjoyable choir experience in her mind, she set about to establish a military wives choir here in Stittsville. She found a choir leader and a location, with the first rehearsal in September attracting 14 ladies. Since then, the choir has grown to 32 members and has performed at the Remembrance Day service in Stittsville, the Victory Ball at the Chateau Laurier and live on the CTV morning show. Sue strongly believes in military wives choirs, noting that they provide a support network for military wives.

Her dream is that other similar choirs will start up in other locations across Canada and a network of such choirs will be created, much like has happened in the United Kingdom. With such a network, as wives move from location to location to location with their military husbands, there will be a choir family waiting to welcome them at the new location. At present, this Canadian Military Wives Choir in Stittsville is the only one in the country. Its inaugural year has been hugely successful in Sueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view and it is looking for increase its number of members and at performing at more venues. Sue is in discussion with contacts from the military tattoos in both Halifax and Hamilton about participating in their shows next year. More information about this new Canadian Military Wives Choir which rehearses in Stittsville on a weekly basis can be found at its website www.canadianmilitarywiveschoir.ca .

News - The proposed new subdivision located immediately east of the existing residential area which includes Caribou Avenue, Liard Street and John Sidney Crescent will be discussed at a public meeting to be held on Monday, May 26. This public meeting will take place starting at 7 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. It is a follow-up meeting from an initial public meeting about this proposed new subdivision which was held last June. City of Ottawa staff have now reviewed the comments and input received from this initial meeting as well as from various technical agencies and city departments. The proposed new subdivision is for 581 housing units comprised of 285 single detached homes and 296 semi-detached homes, along with a green buffer walkway park along the western boundary of the site adjacent to existing homes. Two main issues raised at the previous public meeting were the width of the treed buffer/pathway area along the western boundary of the proposed subdivision and the proposed road linkage between the existing residential area and the new subdivision. In response to concerns raised about the width of the treed buffer/pathway area, the developer has agreed to increase the width of this buffer area from 6 metres to 12 metres. With regard to the proposed Samuel Mann Avenue road connection between the existing residential area and the new subdivision, city staff is now recommending that this Samuel Mann Avenue connection will not be open to vehicular traffic at the current time other than for use by emergency vehicles and pedestrians. City staff is recommending that the road could be opened at the discretion of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Manager of Planning and Growth Management once major road infrastructure projects within the Fernbank Community Design Plan lands have been completed and traffic patterns have been established.

received at the event. Half of the proceeds will be given to the Wounded Warrior Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps Canadian Forces members who have been wounded or injured in their service to Canada. Everyone is welcome to attend this showcase on Tuesday, May 27 and enjoy the musical offerings of this recently formed choir. It has a varied musical repertoire but leans more towards modern than classical tunes. The choir rehearses every Tuesday evening in Stittsville, with many of ladies newly posted to the National Capital Region. The choir serves as a support for these newcomers to the area, helping them establish roots in what is yet another new community for them. This new choir is the initiative of Sue Palmer of Stittsville who is president of this Canadian Military Wives Choir. She was a British Army wife for 19 years and until 2013 lived in the United Kingdom where she was part of a very successful

Cake auction at Sacred Heart John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Fifty-eight boxes of cake mix. Thirteen boxes of Rice Krispies. Five bags of marshmallows. Seven boxes of fondant. Sixty wafer cookies. Thirty-six cookies. Twenty pounds of icing. And two weeks to bake! All this on top of getting the idea a year ago and planning it all since Christmas. But the resulting cake was a real show-stopper at last Fri-

day’s 15th annual fundraising cake auction at Sacred Heart Catholic High School which once again raised thousands for donations to causes both locally and internationally. And this totally edible showstopping creation, filling up a four foot by eight foot base, was a scale-model of the Sacred Heart campus – building, portables, playing fields. It was all there. There was even a yellow school bus, a figure representing school principal Alex Bel-

loni at the front door, and a rotating graduation mortarboard on the roof. It was all the work of students Erin Sauve and Keely Noiles who got help from Cole Noiles and Adam Cook. Erin and Keely are no strangers to creating a buzz at the Sacred Heart cake auction. Last year they showed up with a giant green cake made up of a total of 32 cakes, all covered with an assortment of goodies. This giant green cake ended up being donated to St.

Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore as part of a school tradition of providing some of the cakes from the cake auction to other schools or social agencies in the city. Erin got the idea of making such a cake depicting the Sacred Heart campus and dedicating it to the 2014 graduating class at last year’s cake auction and the planning for it began after Christmas. But this Sacred Heart campus cake, while the most spectacular because of its size and its detail, nonetheless was only one of numerous eye-catching, innovative cakes in this year’s cake auction. This year

there were about 100 cakes in the cake auction, up from last year when there were over 85 cakes made for and displayed at the cake auction. These cakes are made by students, teachers and families. And what an assortment of themes and images among this year’s cakes in the cake auction. There was a cake replica of a toilet, complete with flush handle and an assortment of toilet paper. And don’t forget the plunger that was part of the creation. There was a volcano spewing brown, yellow and red ash; there was a double layer cake “You Are My Sunshine”; another cake looked like a watermelon. There was a giant penguin, a monkey and a snake. There was a three layer cake in Sacred Heart Husky colours of red, black and white. There was a cake in the shape of a book, a yearbook cake with camera, a beach scene cake and a Tim Hortons themed cake, complete with donuts and a Tim Hortons cup. And what about the cake with an ice cream cone plopped on top and the most appropriate Mother’s Day cake, showing up only a couple of days before Mother’s Day itself. The variety and assortment went on and on, as the cakes were displayed on a rectangle of tables set up in the school atrium, with the first cakes arriving before 7:30 a.m. Students arriving for school circulated around the tables, viewing the cakes, with many snapping photos of particular ones with their cell phones. There was a cake that looked like an armchair. There was a chocolate cat with whiskers. And even a cake dedicated to Harry Potter. There even

was a “Go Bruins Go” cake in the mix. Each home room class at the school raised funds leading up to cake auction day last Friday. The home room class raising the most money gets first choice of the cakes on display. The fundraising began on Thursday, May 1 and continued to auction day last Friday. Again this year, Sacred Heart teacher Malcolm Lawrence and former teacher Mike Maloney were the coordinators for this cake auction. Charities which the cake auction was supporting this year include the Brain Tumour Foundation, Free The Children, the Nepean Kanata Rotary Club (helps build schools in Kenya), the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Operation Come Home, School Box (builds schools in Nicaragua), Youth Services Bureau’s Youth mental Health program, the Sisters of Charity (support villages in Cameroon), the Stittsville Food Bank, the Richmond Food Bank, the Shepherds of Good Hope, St. Mary’s Home (helping young pregnant women) and the Breakfast Club of Canada’s Nunavut Project (provides a breakfast program for schools in Nunavut). In addition, through proceeds from the cake auction, Sacred Heart will continue with its program of providing sandwiches throughout the school year to the Shepherds of Good Hope. The ingredients for sandwiches are purchased and then students prepare the sandwiches which are then picked up by the Shepherds of Good Hope for distribution at its mission in downtown Ottawa. This sandwich making provides students with an opportunity to help those less fortunate than themselves.

Male Chorus concert ends with ‘Happy Trails’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Goulbourn Male Chorus dug into the bag of TV musical memorabilia to send members of the audience home from its benefit concert for the Stittsville Food Bank last Saturday evening with a smile on their faces and a happy tune on their minds. That’s because the final song presented in the concert and an audience participation one at that was “Happy Trails,” the song written by cowgirl star Dale Evans, wife of the famous cowboy star Roger Rogers. The pair sang this song as a duet at the end of their 1950’s television show which ran from 1951 through 1957, in which the two of them played their cowgirl and cowboy roles respectively, frequently riding their renowned horses, Buttermilk for Dale Evans and Trigger for Roy Rogers. “Happy Trails” became famous from this exposure on the TV show but what is there not to like about the song with its upbeat lyrics and easy melody. “Happy trails to you, until we meet JOHN CURRY/METROLAND again./ Happy trails to you, keep Robert Dueck, centre, directs the Goulbourn Male Chorus as it performs at the benefit concert which it smilin’ until then./ Who cares about held for the Stittsville Food Bank at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville last Saturday evening, with the clouds when we’re together?/ accompanist Tyson Chen at the piano at the far right. Just sing a song and bring the sunny

weather./ Happy trails to you, ‘till we meet again.” are the lyrics to the song and what a way to look at life. It indeed was a real treat to hear the song as part of the program for last Saturday’s Goulbourn Male Chorus concert at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. But “Happy Trails” was only one of a number of memorable songs in the program at this concert. See CONCERT, page 57

Concert raises $552 for Stittsville Food Bank Continued from page 56

success, it was also a charitable success as well. A vast number of nonperishable items for the Stittsville Food Bank were donated by concertgoers. In addition, the freewill collection for the Food Bank generated a total of $552. All in all, this benefit concert was successful on all counts. Indeed, the Stittsville Food Bank

has been the key charity of support for the Goulbourn Male Chorus ever since it was founded. Stittsville Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri, who was in attendance at the concert, told the audience that it is important that the Stittsville community come together to help neighbours in need. She called Stittsville

“a community of giving” and noted that the Food Bank was able to help 92 families with hampers this past Christmas. She told how the Stittsville Food Bank now tries to give its clients healthy food such as produce and perishable items such as fresh meat and milk, all of which is able to hap-

pen thanks to the generous contributions of those in the community. A number of members of the Board of Directors of the Stittsville Food Bank were in attendance at the concert. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was also in attendance at the concert.

R0012684237

Indeed, thanks to the 19 voices of the Goulbourn Male Chorus under the direction of Robert Dueck, every song in the concert was an example of male chorus singing at its best. Real standouts included “Sixteen Tons,” the song about working and living in a company coal mining town that was made famous by two country music legends, first by Merle Travis in 1946 and then as a number one hit with Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1955; the iconic ballad “Danny Boy” set to the Irish tune “Londonderry Air”; and the “Song for the Mira,” a Cape Breton folk song that was sung by Chorus members Al Neill and Doug Hall with Chorus backup and preceded by a story related to the Mira River in Cape Breton as told by Al Neill. But virtually every song in the concert was memorable, right from the opening singalong “The Happy Wanderer” which saw the Male Chorus members march in from the rear of the church to a series of songs of the sea such as “Fire Down Below,” “On the Deep Blue Sea,” and the audience participation “I’s the B’y the Builds the Boat” to a series of songs that tell a story such as “Nine Hundred Mile.” And don’t forget the melodic “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” a block of love songs such as “Go Lovely Rose” and the inspiring “River in Judea” about the Jordan River. An added treat in this concert was performances by the a cappella eightvoice group “Men of Note” drawn from the larger Male Chorus as well as a seven-voice a cappella ensemble which sang “Walk A Mile.” The “Men of Note” not only sang the sea shanty “Donkey Riding” but also sang the Scottish songs “Bonny Mary of Argyle” and “Loch Lomond.” And yet another musical treat at this concert was the performance of piano accompanist Tyson Chen who played a “Cape Breton Set” during the gathering of freewill offerings just before the intermission in the concert. This “Cape Breton Set” included a variety of tunes commonly associated with Cape Breton fiddling and it brought forth rhythmic clapping from the audience. Several of the songs in the concert saw Chorus members Gary King and Ed Lascelle accompany the group on guitars. While the concert was a musical

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older and much smarter than I was, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why. Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and changed into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill. As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim. Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said “amen” in unison, we headed for our beds. But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course two praying at the same time for the same thing, she convinced me, had much more power than just one of us asking for a special blessing. The fact that the prayer had nothing to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said,

Audrey was very fearful of failing Entrance Class

that counted. And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed. We had it drilled into us over many Sunday school classes, and long and purposeful prayers from our whale of a minister as he flailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things was right up there with stealing chickens. I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like Marguirite, but I figured God would take into account my young age and forgive me. And of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discretion, and I figured it was just between God and me. But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs. “Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered, as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes.

Then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to graduate from the Entrance Class. There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances. And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would graduate from the Northcote School. This of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were praying for. Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrified my sister. One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class. Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was enough to keep

busy at on the farm: the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be readied. And besides, lots of the older girls, when they finished at the Northcote School, would go off and get married if they passed or not. Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out. Then she told me, almost in a whisper, as if she was telling some dark secret. “Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the Entrance Class?” she asked. Her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end. And then she said, again in a whisper, but with a kind of sharpness in her voice that I rarely heard: “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.” She let out a long, purposeful sigh. “Housework. That’s what they do. I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people.” She named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing

housework for the rich people. So that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the Entrance Class. Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had graduated from the Entrance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Health Beneﬁts of

Lemons

Burn!

Lemons are the simplest way to give your body a FRESH START. The 5 top beneﬁts of adding lemons to your next meal include:

Eating frequently throughout the day, approximately 5 to 6 meals a day, has proven to be the most eﬀective way to burn fat. Not only will it help you burn calories all day long, it will increase your energy levels, accelerate your muscle growth, and speed up your metabolism.

1. Supports Immune Function:

2. Alkalizing: Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid which easily metabolize in the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood.

3. Digestion: Lemon juice stimulates hydrochloric acid in the stomach further aiding digestion. Vitamin C status has been associated with reduced risk of peptic ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

4. Clear Skin: Vitamin C combats free radical damage, which is responsible for many symptoms of aging.

5. Promote Healing: Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage.

Dr. Joel Lee Villeneuve Naturopathic Doctor www.revivelifeclinic.com

Lemon Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash Pasta Preparation Time: 10 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 cup 1 medium spaghetti squash ¼ cup vegetable stock 1 tsp minced garlic, divided. 1 cup celery, diced 3 ½ cups fresh tomatoes diced 1 cup yellow tomato or pepper

½ cup Kalamata olives 1 tsp lemon juice, fresh 2 tsp lemon zest 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Slice spaghetti squash in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and place squash cut side down on a parchment lined sheet pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until squash is able to pull away from sides in strands. In the meantime, in a large sauté pan, add the vegetable stock. Add the garlic and celery and sauté for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer cooking for 10 minutes. Next add the remaining tomato or yellow pepper, Kalamata olives, lemon juice and lemon zest. Once the squash is ready, pull all the “spaghetti” ﬂesh from the skin and place the cooked squash on a serving platter. Top with tomato mixture, garnish with parsley and season with sea salt and pepper.

By not eating small frequent meal throughout the day, your body goes into starvation mode. When this happens your body assumes that it won’t be getting food again for a while, so instead of burning the food you eat, it will store it as fat. You can prevent your body from going into this mode by eating within an hour of waking up and then every 3 hours after that.

Season now underway Earn Extra Money! Keep Your Weekends Free! for Lawn Bowling Club Special to the News

Sports – The season has begun for the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club. The Club is welcoming any new members who want to take up or get back into lawn bowling. The cost of membership for new bowlers in their first year with the Club is only $60. The only equipment that a person needs are flat smooth soled shoes and comfortable shorts and t-shirts. The club provides the lawn bowling balls known as “bowls.” It also provides instruction to help beginners learn the game. The Goulbourn lawn Bowling Club has its lawn bowling green on Huntley Road next to the city of Ottawa town hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners. This year lawn bowling is taking place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. And, as is the tradition at the Club, there will be refreshments and coffee available afterwards. In addition, something new is being tried and that is lawn bowling in the evening as required. For more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the upcoming season, please contact Club president George BurnsNichol at 613-831-0939 or via email at gjbn@ rogers.com. Lawn bowling is a game that goes back to the possibly the 12th century and most definitely to the 13th century. It is also a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because

of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its non-contact nature. And, first and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air. The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack” which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, parts of the United States, Japan and, of course, Canada. It is felt that lawn bowling may have begun back in the 12th century but definitely the game was being played in 13th century in England. This has been verified by a manuscript from the 13th century that contains a drawing representing two players aiming at a small cone. The world’s oldest bowling green can be found in Southampton, dating back to 1299. Today the sport is played in over 40 countries and is a sport at the Commonwealth Games. Lawn bowling is played on a rectangular, precisely leveled area with manicured grass, divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. In singles and pairs play, a player delivers four bowls in each end. In triples, three bowls are delivered by each player in an end while in fours, each bowler delivers two bowls in an end.

CFL veterans and alumni at Bell Warriors skills camp Special to the News

Sports - The Bell Warriors Football Club wanted to make its firstever Touchdown Advanced Football Skills Camp something special â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a first-class event that was be affordable by everyone. And this is exactly what the inaugural event on Saturday evening, April 19 at the Ben Franklin Dome in Nepean turned out to be thanks to the participation and presence of a host of Canadian Football League (CFL) veterans and alumni as well as high caliber football coaches. One of these was Justin Phillips of Stittsville who is a Bell Warriors alumni and was the first player for whom the new Ottawa RedBlacks traded. Indeed, Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart acknowledges that it was Justin Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; immediate positive reaction to the event that took this region-wide football clinic concept from the world of planning to that of reality.

When president Stewart contacted Justin to tell him about the planned event, Justin immediately responded that he would love to help coach at the event and that he would engage some of his CFL buddies. The event was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;goâ&#x20AC;? from that moment on. This led to over 100 local football players aged 13 to 21 attending the event and really launching the upcoming football season in style. And just who signed on to be involved in the event besides Justin Phillips, who won a Grey Cup with the Calgary Stampeders. The Bell Warriors reached out to Elite Performance Academy (EPA), the Ottawa based organization owned by CFL alumni Pat Woodcock and Donnie Ruiz and Munster resident and longtime coach Rob Hamm. EPA, which is renowned for training athletes of all ages to take the steps required to reach the next level of competition, agreed to oversee each positional station and to act as camp director.

Coming on board as volunteer coaches at this advanced football skills camp were Darren Joseph, a 13 year CFL veteran and a former Ottawa Sooner, who coached the running backs; Kevin Scott, a six year CFL veteran now signed by the Ottawa RedBlacks, who coached the offensive linemen and long snapping; Dexter Ross, another CFL veteran and NCAA All-American, who coached the defensive linemen; and Steve Glenn, a ten year CFL veteran and former all-star, who helped with the linebackers. Justin Phillips also brought on board Ottawa RedBlacks fullback John Delahunt, six year CFL offensive lineman Jon Gott of the Calgary Stampeders, and Brad Sinopoli, a wide receiver with the Stampeders and a former Hec Crighton winner with the University of Ottawa Gee Gees as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most outstanding university football player. At the last minute, Drew Tate, the Calgary Stampeders starting quarter-

back, agreed to help out as well. This array of football players was augmented by the presence of Ron Raymond, the University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterbacks coach and a senior Ottawa Valley Football League head coach for the Cumberland Panthers; and Rodney Moors, a National Capital Amateur Football Association director of non-contact programs and winner of 12 Canadian touch football championships as a player and/or coach. With all of this coaching and football talent on board, this inaugural Touchdown Advanced Football Skills Camp put the attending young players through instructional stations, each under the watchful eye of these football notables. And Bell Warriors was able to keep this advanced football skills camp affordable despite renting the entire Ben Franklin Dome and engaging the help of so many first-class football coaches and players. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the cost to participate

in this two hour skills camp learning from the pros was only $20 per player. It filly conformed to the Bell Warriors mandate of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football for all.â&#x20AC;? Players from as far away as Alexandria, Pembroke and Kingston attended this advanced football skills camp. And they got more than just onfield coaching. When the event was over, the entire group gathered at the side of the dome to hear some inspiring messages from the pros in attendance. The pros also signed some autographs and had photos taken with various youth players. The Bell Warriors Football Club intends to make this Touchdown Advanced Skills Football Skills Camp an annual event. The Bell Warriors Football Club has offered football programs for youth ages 8 to 16 years of age since 1955. The Club draws its players from the communities of Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia.

Bell Warrior Matt Chapeski of Richmond got to meet Drew Tate, starting quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, at the Bell Warriors inaugural Touchdown Advanced Football Skills Camp on Saturday, April 19 at the Ben Franklin Dome in Nepean.

Stock car racing opens May 21st New 40 metre monopole two rural locations had shown that a more central location was required if stock car racing was to become part of the Ottawa sporting scene. This happened when the first evening of stock car racing was held at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa on June 1, 1955, with the track set up around the outside of the football field. More than 5,000 fans attended that first night of racing on the quarter mile dirt oval which was a former horse racing track. By 1956, more than 40 local cars and drivers were registered with the Lansdowne Park Stock Car Racing Club for the weekly racing every Wednesday evening. After the first two successful seasons, race promoter Gerry Bisson worked with the Central Canada Exhibition Association, operators of Lansdowne Park, to implement some improvements at what was then known as Lansdowne Speedway. The track was lengthened to onethird of a mile in length and was widened to 40 feet with increased banking on the corners. The track was paved and a highway-style guard rail was installed around the track’s perimeter. All these improvements were accompanied by a new and more extensive set of safety rules. The racing included a variety of special attractions as well, such as late model events, sprint races, power pull races and demolition derbies. Lansdowne Speedway increased in popularity, with additional races held on Fridays and Saturdays, drawing competitors from Montreal and upper New York State as well as the local drivers. This lasted for three more summers but the noise caused by the racing from May through to the end of September resulted in public pressure to end the racing at this location. In addition, there were plans being made to replacing the north side grandstand with the Ottawa Civic Centre and to construct a south-side stands. This would mean that there would be no more race track. The last evening of racing at Lansdowne Speedway took place on August 17, 1960.

Special to the News

Sports - Wednesday, May 21 marks the opening of another season at the Capital City Speedway west of Stittsville. The program for this season opening evening of stock car racing will include Late Models, Thunder Cars, Legends, Mini Stocks and Four For Fun as well as a 100 lap Enduro race. Dinardo’s Kart Class will also be part of the program. This season at Capital City Speedway promises to have an expanded racing program with a Summer Sizzler event on Saturday, July 5, a Monster Truck Show on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27 and an expanded Summer Slam event. A new feature this season is that tickets for the Summer Sizzler event, the Monster Truck Show and the expanded Summer Slam event will all be available online. Stock car racing in the Ottawa area goes back over 60 years, with much of it happening at the Capital City Speedway. It was on a track cut out of a farmer’s ﬁeld near Carsonby that stock car racing began in the Ottawa area in 1949. However, this location was abandoned after only one season. A second attempt to launch stock car racing in the area happened a year or two later when a dirt track with banked corners called Meadow Park Speedway was set up in a ﬁeld just west of Bells Corners. However, support was sporadic and it folded but the experience of these WA T 23 ERFR AC ON RE T S

News - A new 40 metre tall monopole cell tower is being proposed for the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. Telus wants to erect the new cell tower to improve coverage in the Richmond area. Telus and Bell have an agreement in which they share usage of each other’s towers so that Bell customers will also beneﬁt from this new cell tower. The new tower is being proposed for a site at the north end of the fairgrounds near the gate leading from the parking lot beside the tennis courts at the adjacent Lions Park. However, there is a possibility that the site could be re-

located to somewhere along the west property line adjacent to the Lions Park soccer ﬁeld. This would remove the pole farther away from any adjacent residences. The monopole structure has a small building and fenced-off area at its base. This new cell tower is needed because of gaps in the current coverage pattern in and around Richmond. The new tower would be directed to provide blanket coverage to the village and areas to the east of the village. Coverage west of the village would remain virtually unchanged. The Richmond Agricultural Society would like to see better coverage as a number of events are held throughout the year at

the fairgrounds and organizers are always asking if wifi access is available. Currently such access is not provided due to the poor coverage. Data traffic on cell phones has increased in volume five times since 2008 and it is expected to continue to increase through this year. New towers are required as data traffic increases because the area covered by existing towers is decreased due to the increased traffic. That’s why new towers like this proposed new tower are required to fill in these voids in coverage. A consultation session about this proposed new tower at the Richmond fairgrounds was hosted by Telus in the basement

With no more racing at Lansdowne Park, promoter Gerry Bisson undertook the construction of a new, then-state-of-the-art race track on the new highway seven west of Stittsville. This marked a return of stock car racing to a

rural setting but the Lansdowne Park years had grown interest in stock car racing in the Ottawa area and so there were sufficient fans to ensure success at a rural setting. The new Capital City Speedway opened for business in 1961 and has been operating ever since.

All prices are cash prices with only the HST extra. Other charges may apply if finance option chosen, such as PPSA or other fees charged by the finance institution, Carproof, lien checks, or other charges that may be incurred when trading in a vehicle, discharging lien, or financing a vehicle. Many clients with less than perfect credit may qualify for rates as low as 3.99% but rates may vary based on credit history from 3.99 to 29.99%. Many institutions charge fees in addition to PPSA and those charges are passed on to the consumer.
