Robotic lawn mower in Stittsville John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
If someone knocked on your front door out of the blue, offering a summer of free grass cutting, you might be a little dubious. But as Sandy Durocher and his wife Cindy Beauchamp listened more to the door knocker at their Stittsville home who turned out to be David Garrick, a Stittsville resident who is Ontario East Territory Manager for Husqvarna Canada Corporation, the more the offer made sense. David explained that Husqvarna now wants to start pushing its robotic lawn mower, called the Automower, in Canada and North America. It has been selling them in Europe for the past 20 years, with 100,000 being sold annually now. The Automower has been such a success in Europe that Husqvarna

wants it to become popular in North America as well. David wanted a visible location where the Automower could be demonstrated. He liked the Amberlakes area of Stittsville and started knocking on doors. There was no one home at the first two doors but the third one was where he encountered Sandy and Cindy at the corner of Amberlakes Drive and Stowgrass Circle, right at the entrance to the Amberlakes community off Stittsville Main Street. He offered to provide the Automower for free for the summer, installing the necessary infrastructure for its operation which basically consists of a charging station and a boundary wire around the lawn within which the Automower functions. For their part, Sandy and Cindy would simply be responsible for the hydro costs related to the charging station, amounting to only a few dollars a month. In addition, promotional signage would be erected on the property to let passers-by know what that vacuum-cleaner-like machine scooting around the grass was, namely a Husqvarna Automower. And so this is how the first robotic lawn mower arrived and started working in Stittsville. And it is generating interest. Sandy Durocher says that a lot of people are stopping by and asking him about the Automower that can be seen running here and there on his lawn throughout the day. And Sandy likes it. He does not have to run out to get gas for a lawn mower or indeed spend any time pushing a lawn mower. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND All he does now is some trimming around trees and a corner hydrant since the Automower does not cut right David Garrick, territory manager for Ontario East for Husqvarna Canada Corporation, is with the Husqvarna Automower which is now up to these things. on demonstration at a home at the corner of Amberlakes Drive and See NO RAKING, page 7 Stowgrass Circle,just off the Amberlakes community of Stittsville.

Fundraiser in Stittsville for Olympic-bound Erica Wiebe John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com

That’s when a fundraiser celebrating Erica’s upcoming appearance in the Olympics in Brazil will be held at the NeXT Restaurant at the corner of West Ridge Drive and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. The doors at Chef Michael Blackie’s restaurant will open at 6:30 p.m. with the $75 ticket including four waves of food served open concept, along with two live
animation stations with a chef preparing delicacies right before your eyes. There will be craft beers served as well. There will also be a silent auction which will end at 9:30p.m. as well as guest speakers and entertainment throughout the evening. Proceeds from this evening will go to support Erica on her quest for Olympic gold. You can arrange to attend by visiting ericawiebe.ca or calling 613-831-0182. This event happens just days before Erica’s birthday which happens on June 13. Born in 1989, Erica was raised in Stittsville, attending Holy Spirit Catho-
lic School and then Sacred Heart High School where she was introduced to wrestling in grade seven and wrestled until she graduated in 2007. She then went on to attend the University of Calgary and wrestling for the Calgary Dinos. Calgary is the training centre for the women’s Canadian wrestling team. Erica, a woman’s freestyle wrestler in the 75 kg weight class, is a three time Canadian Interuniversity Sport national champion, a six time Canadian national champion, the 2014 university world champion, the 2014 Commonwealth Games champion and now a member of Canada’s 2016 Olympic wrestling team.
Over the years, Erica has won gold medals in events in Sweden, the United States, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Scotland, Russia and Spain. Just recently, she competed at the German Grand Prix, winning the event against one of the top ranked wrestlers in the world from Belarus. Erica has served as a motivational speaker, presenting to over 8,000 elementary and high school youth across Canada, providing messages on the benefits of living a passionate life, setting goals and staying true to one’s own values. She has served as a youth coach in Calgary and has been an athlete ambassador for Right To Play, an organization which tries to help youth recognize their potential and to realize their dreams. Erica has also been an athlete ambassador for “Fast & Female,” an organization which works to encourage positive person and athletic development of young female athletes. Erica has recently attended an Olympic team training camp in Hawaii and then another training camp in Sweden with the Swedish Olympic team. Her next competition will be the Canada Cup in Guelph on June 25.

New art exhibition: ‘The Simple Things of Life’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Aw, the simple things of life. Perhaps sipping wine on a patio or taking that coffee break at work. Or just the beauty of a simple flower or a vase of flowers. Or nature itself such as a duck floating with her duckling or two birds flying overhead in an early morning fog. All of these “simple things of life” and more are depicted in the art now on display at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville. They are all part of a new exhibition entitled “The Simple Things of Life” which has been mounted and will be on display at the gallery until Friday, July 8. Louise Barker’s oil painting “Ready for Happy Hour” shows a patio table and empty chair, ready for occupancy, with a bottle of wine and a glass of wine on the adjacent table. A scene showing a very simple but oh, so enjoyable happening in life! Another simple, enjoyable happening in life is shown in Vera van Baaren’s acrylic painting “Take Five” which shows a man sitting at his work desk holding a cup of steaming coffee. Aw, the relaxation of a workspace coffee break! How simple and yet how enjoyable! Sheila Turner-Whalen’s small acrylic painting “Love in Bloom” features a bright pink and white flower, showing the simple beauty found in nature. It’s a beauty that is also found in Stephanie
Robertson’s photo “The Bouquet” showing a number of cut tulips in a vase. And what could be more natural and simple than a duck floating in the water with her duckling as envisioned by Sheila Turner-Whalen in her large acrylic painting “Arrival of Spring.” And Bev Lafortune, in her colour photograph “Early Morning Fox,” has captured a pair of birds flying in the sky over a foggy morning scene involving calm water reflecting the image of adjacent trees. A simple happening in today’s hustle and bustle world! This new exhibition certainly lives up to its name “The Simple Things of Life,” not only with these examples of the work now hanging on the walls of the owaa gallery in the foyer area of the GRC but with virtually all of the artwork in the exhibition. Kat McClure’s large mixed media work “The Garden” with its stunning blues and greens combined with a couple of dashes of pink is a floral spectacle. Simple but awesome at the same time! Another portrayal of nature’s simple but colourful appearance is John Edkins’ photo “Maple Leaves” showing an assortment of coloured leaves. And John Edkins also depicts the simple beauty found in nature with his photo of a pink water lily called, as you might expect, “Water Lily.” The simplicity of man’s creation is shown in Patrick Bourke’s photo art “Land’s End” which shows an old stone building and equally old adjacent wall, found on a site with water in the distance. And what could be simpler and yet
more charming and beautiful than the scene depicted in Vera van Baaren’s mixed media work “Window Sill” showing four plants and a cat on a window sill. Stephanie Robertson’s photo “Light As A Feather II” could not get any simpler or more eye catching – it shows just one feather set against a blue background. Stunning and yet oh, so simple! Trudy Daley’s acrylic painting “Summer Patio” shows a scene similar in character to Louise Barker’s “Ready for Happy Hour” but while similar, it is much different as well. It too shows an empty chair in a patio setting but what a patio! It’s just overrun with flowers and blooms of various colours! Josie Walsh’s acrylic painting “Carolina Breezes” shows two palm trees on a seashore, with a pink sky above. Similar to this is Betty Sullivan’s watercolour showing a couple of palm trees on a shoreline, entitled “At The Beach.” Both would be great spots in which to relax, one of life’s simple pleasures to be sure! And there’s more simple beauty to be found in nature as shown in this art exhibition. Michael Goguen’s oil painting “Japanese Lake” shows a placid water scene with mountains in the background. His “Winter Sunset” oil painting shows a home set in a winter scene that features a stream, snow covered ground, mountains and a sky of pink. Josie Walsh’s “Camp Site,” done with acrylics, shows a treed wilderness spot with water in the foreground – a perfect spot for that simplest of pleasures, camping!
Sylvie Sabourin’s photo “Spirit of the Forest” shows a lane running through a tunnel of trees, one of Mother Nature’s simple feats that would be an engineering marvel if made by man. Charlie Rogers’ watercolour painting “It’s Cold” shows a simple, common winter scene – a snow covered, plowed road running through trees. And you just have to love Sylvie Sabourin’s photo “Clever” which shows so much with so little. There’s a dog, white running shoes, a hat seeking donations, all belonging, we assume, to a beggar hidden in a recessed area. It leaves a lot to the imagination but also says a lot in its simple composition. Louise Barker’s oil painting “Gate to Inner Sanctuary” shows a simple gate in a wall. Mark Grasza’s “Parliament from Quebec,” a large oil painting, shows the Parliament Buildings but also shows a plethora of boats on the Ottawa River, including those most simple of boats, namely sailboats. Roseanne Facchin’s acrylic painting “I See You” shows a bird of prey sitting on a branch, with the eye in the side of its head glaring out at you. Aud Karin Sund’s oil painting “Pamplemousse” features yellow and green colours while Charlie Rogers’ photo “mussels” is an intriguing work. This latest exhibition at the owaa gallery at the GRC will be on display until Friday, July 8. The gallery is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. When viewing this exhibition “The Simple Things of Life,” make sure that you fill out a “People’s Choice” ballot indicating your favourite piece in the exhibition. The artists always look forward to the results of this balloting and they all treasure the votes that they receive in this balloting. The ballots and ballot box for this “People’s Choice” balloting can be found on the top of the large glass display case that can be found in the GRC lobby, right near the door of the ward office for city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.
‘Aphidwalk’ tops People’s Choice balloting John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Michael Goguen’s giant aphid with mechanical legs and running shoes moving through an apple orchard attracted a lot of interest in the recent “Up Close” exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. Indeed, his oil painting entitled “Aphidwalk” attracted the most votes in the People’s Choice balloting for the exhibition which ended its two month run at the owaa gallery on Friday, May 13. Louise Barker’s small oil painting featuring an up close view of a puppy’s face placed second in the People’s Choice balloting for
this exhibition. Third place in the balloting was a tie involving three paintings: Roseanne Facchin’s “Follow Me,” an acrylic showing two ducklings swimming together, creating some interesting ripples in the water; Catherine Gutsche’s acrylic entitled “Spring! Where Have You Been,” a large painting that features three appropriately large orange petals stretching horizontally across the painting; and Aud Karin Sund’s acrylic entitled “Mrs. X” featuring a closeup portrait of a woman with her red lips most prominent. The artists involved in these exhibitions at the owaa gallery always look forward with great anticipation to the results of the People’s Choice balloting as they

have great respect for the view of the people as expressed in this People’s Choice balloting. A new exhibition called “The Simple Things of Life” is now on display at the owaa gallery. And once again there is People’s Choice balloting to give viewers an opportunity to indicate a favourite work in the exhibition. People’s Choice ballots are available on the top of the large glass display case which holds some of the works on display in the exhibition. The ballots submitted in the ballot box which is also on top of the display case are tallied up at the end of each exhibition’s run, with the results then publicized. Artist Louise Barker coordinates this People’s Choice balloting on behalf of the Ottawa West Arts Association.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS
When I last spoke of the Water, Wastewater & Stormwater Review, I mentioned that the report and any recommendations were to be delayed to give staff more time to assess all of the comments from the eight consultation sessions. As you may have already heard in recent days, the item is now scheduled to come back in September. I will keep you updated on any developments over the next few months. Photo Radar In my March 23rd column, I summarized some of the opinions surrounding the issue of photo radar and its use on Ottawa streets. Originally scheduled to go to Council in March, it was referred, for a more fulsome discussion, to Transportation Committee, which occurred earlier this month. Leading up to this committee meeting, many of the comments heard city-wide aligned with the comments that I had heard in Rideau-Goulbourn. As a result, a substitute motion was brought forward that, instead of asking for a blanket approval for the use of photo radar, asks the Province to allow the City of Ottawa to run a pilot project for photo radar exclusively in school zones. Many arguments were heard for and against the use of photo radar. Some wanted to see it used anywhere and everywhere. Some wanted it to be used as a revenue tool. Others fundamentally opposed its use. The motion to test it in school zones was a compromise motion that garnered the support of the Committee and, ultimately, Council. At the Council meeting, I seconded a motion put forward by Councillor Stephen Blais that also seeks to have all School Zones double as Community Safety Zones. There is no real timing for next steps on this issue. The request goes to the Province and they will determine whether or not to allow the use of photo radar. If yes, the City of Ottawa will then further consider the factors of implementation, such as the limit to set it at and the awareness of the zones. ARAC The June meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee is being held on Friday, June 3rd as the Thursday is the date of the Rural Expo and Food Aid Day. The time and location are the same as always; 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place. Agenda items include: Water Environment Strategy: Phase 2 Zoning By-Law Amendments: 1613 Devine Road, 3940 Dunning Road The Zoning By-Law Amendments are both for surplus farm severances. As you can see the agenda is quite light. The Water Environment Strategy was presented to Environment Committee last week but is mandated to be reviewed by ARAC as well. Doors Open Ottawa On June 4th and 5th, the public will have access, at no charge, to more than 120 buildings around the Ottawa region. Doors Open Ottawa offers something for everyone, from municipal facilities and government buildings to private businesses, artists’ studios and places of worship, to embassies and high commissions of countries from across the globe. Shopify hosted the launch event at its Elgin Street headquarters and will be among the 19 new locations participating in the Doors Open Ottawa weekend in June. For the fifth consecutive year, there will be a free accessible OC Transpo shuttle bus sponsored by the Ottawa Citizen. More than 50 participating buildings can be accessed from the shuttle loop, giving everyone a wide choice of amazing facilities that can be reached quickly without a vehicle. For a full list of participating buildings, including which ones are accessible, and information about the shuttle bus, visit ottawa.ca/doorsopen. Rideau-Goulbourn buildings include Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind National Headquarters, Watson’s Mill, Dickinson House, Ayres Building (Home to ROSSS), Rideau Township Archives and the Goulbourn Museum. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.
One-day blitz targeting distracted drivers Jennifer McIntosh jennnifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A one-day blitz by Ottawa police officers on May 15 aimed at targeting distracted driver was a success – depending on how you look at it. Officers handed out 76 tickets for drivers using handheld devices, another six for red-light running and 34 other Highway Traffic Act offenses. Traffic officer Sgt. Eddy Yeoumans said the blitz was part of a provincial drive safe campaign. “The slogan is risk takers, meet undertakers,” he said. “It just doesn’t seem to be getting better.”
The ban on using handheld devices while driving was enacted in 2009, but Yeoumans said the problem doesn’t seem to be getting any better. A 2015 public survey by the Ottawa police identified distracted driving as the number one concern for residents. “People know it’s illegal, but they just can’t seem to put the phones down,” Yeoumans said, adding that when people are stopped they know it’s illegal because the first thing they do is put down their hands or ditch the phone once they hear the sirens. “The excuse always is that call or text is very important,” Yeoumans said. Yeoumans said the behaviour of a dis-
tracted driver is just like that of someone who is drunk behind the wheel. “The car is weaving or they’re at a red light and they don’t notice when it turns green, so it holds up traffic behind them,” he said. “They just don’t realize how distracted they are on the road. It only takes a moment to cause a collision.” Enforcement and education are key to getting people to put their phones down and keep their eyes on the road, Yeoumans said. “Hopefully, they get a ticket and they tell their friends and co-workers and it makes people hesitate,” he said. “Or the kids in the backseat tell their parents to put the phones down.”
Stormwater rate decision deferred until the fall Jennifer McIntosh
from the city. Under the proposal, rural residents would be on the hook for $2 million for stormwater management. The city’s total stormwater management annual budget is $42 million, with $8.4 million allocated to the rural area. A meeting held in West Carleton on March 29 was standing room only, and 50 people were turned away because there wasn’t room at the West Carleton Community Complex.

Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said the fact that a decision to defer a new stormwater rate until the fall is proof that public consultation works. “The most important thing to remember is, it’s not a done deal,” Darouze said, adding staff decide to put the proposal on hold after hearing how much rural residents are paying into the municipal drain system. Darouze said there were four public consultations in the rural areas that were very well attended. “This worked exactly like it’s supposed to,” he said, adding Mayor Jim Watson said he heard residents concerns. The city hosted a round of public consultations throughout March and April that looked at a rejigged water and sewer rate structure and a plan to recover money for stormwater services. Rural residents flooded the meetings, protesting a plan to start billing the 45,000 residents who don’t currently receive a water bill Jennifer McIntosh
tation from West Carleton, said the city should have kept it the way it was before amalgamation. Before that, residents paid an annual fee for the maintenance of ditches and culverts. Muldoon says the ditches are now poorly maintained, adding one of her neighbours has trees growing in her ditch. Darouze said it’s sentiments like that one, that sent staff back to the drawing board. “We don’t know what’s going to happen yet,” he said. “We will hear in September.”

A possible fix for jammed intake pipes at the Lemieux Island water filtration plant could cost $18.5 million, a staff report says The environment committee approved the plan on May 17 to extend the intake pipes deeper into the Ottawa River and go below the ice to prevent “frazil” from getting into the pipes. The problem began in January 2013. Frazil is a collection of randomly oriented needle-like ice crystals and formed in open, turbulent, super-cooled water. The problem initially caused multiple plant shut downs. Shut downs are a problem, since the plant processes 200 million litres of water daily – the same as the Britannia plant. Temporary measures in that first year, which included a by-pass pumping system and shovelling cost the city $583,500, the report reads. The next year, temporary, smaller diameter intake pipes were installed at a cost of $750,000.
In 2014-2015 the extensions were also blocked, causing the need for the bypass pumping system to be installed at a cost of $773,000. In some cases divers had to remove the blockages. Staff estimate the cost of the deep water intake system to range between $17.2 and $18.5 million. It’s the most costly of the three options proposed, but the best bet to deal with the problem for the long term. The solution would involve extending pipes 225 metres from the shoreline to the deepest part of the river, across the Ontario-Quebec border. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor asked staff if there could be additional costs associated with extending to the border, but staff said it wasn’t a factor in the estimate. Capital Coun. and committee chair David Chernushenko asked staff if the problem could be solved with conservation at times when the pipes are blocked. “We want to solve the problem, but we want to do it in the most cost effective way,” Chernushenko said.
No raking needed with Automower Continued from page 1
The Automower charges up automatically and is programmed to cut the lawn during certain hours. It can be programmed to operate around the clock, just in the daylight hours or at any other hours desired. The only maintenance which the Automower needs is to change its three razor-blade type cutting blades two or three times a season. They cost less than a dollar each so this is a minimal expense. The Automower cuts the lawn on a random pattern that can be programmed into the machine. Since an Automower is constantly cutting the lawn, it cuts only a very little off a blade of grass each time. This means that the level of a lawn stays flat and the lawn begins to look like a carpet rather than a wavy area of longer irregular grass as happens when using a lawn mower. There is no raking involved with an Automower because the small blades of grass that are cut just disappear into the lawn. The random pattern is also considered beneficial for the grass as the grass is always being cut from a different direction. David notes that there are a “lot of health benefits for grass” from the use of an Automower. The Automower carries a three year warranty but easily lasts up to 15 years or longer. Other than replacing the cutting blades regularly and replacing the

battery every three or four years, there is no maintenance required. The cost of an Automower ranges from $2,199 to $3,999 for one that does a larger property and has a few more bells and whistles than other machines. The Automower runs quietly, causing David to comment that a person “can barely hear it” when it is operating. The concept behind the Automower comes from nature, namely the grazing animal. The Automower cuts the grass a little but often, resulting in smaller clippings that do not have to be raked. Thanks to the constant and random cutting by the Automower, grass never grows too tall, giving that unkept look. The Automower has collision and lift sensors for safety. If the
sensors detect lift or the mower lightly hits an object, impeding its path, the mower will automatically reverse, turn and choose another direction or will stop operating if lifted. Husqvarna has been developing robotic mowers for over 20 years. That’s why the Automower is extremely reliable. Indeed, since 1995, the Husqvarna Automower has been the best selling robotic lawn mower in the world. The Automower is sold through dealers. One dealer in the Ottawa area is Yarmand Landscaping and Construction Equipment at 1642 Woodward Drive in Ottawa (613-724-4332 or visit yarmand. ca).

Stittsville Public High School Dear Residents, I would like to take a moment and share some information regarding the effort to have a public high school opened in Stittsville. The need for a public high school in the community first appeared on the radar in 2006, at a time when the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) wasn’t establishing the kind of specific capital priorities lists it has in the past few years. At that time, it was felt that the high school would need to be built by 2010 in order to accommodate Stittsville’s burgeoning youth population. However, that didn’t happen. Today, more than 500 high school students bus out of Stittsville every day to attend South Carleton, while others switch to another school board so they can remain in Stittsville. According to OCDSB school trustee, Lynn Scott, approximately 12 buses are required to take these students from Stittsville to Richmond each day, at a cost approaching $600,000 annually. In October, 2013, the OCDSB released a Capital Priorities list, marking a Stittsville public high school as the #4 priority. However, in March 2014, schools that were lower on the list were awarded funding over Stittsville. Given that the necessary budget exceeds that needed for many other projects, there is simply no way the province will be able to financially sustain enough funds to allocate a new public high school if it is being overlooked to fund other schools. As such, Stittsville’s voice must be heard. Stittsville has a current population of over 31,000 which is expected to grow to over 70,000 within the next 20 years and it has grown by over 10,000 since the need was first identified in 2006. There is no other community of this size in Ontario that does not have a public high school.

Parents should not be forced to choose between their only two options being sending their children to another school board or 15km away every day. As of the October 31, 2013 OCDSB Elementary Enrolment Report, two of Stittsville’s three public elementary schools are over capacity with the third being less than 1% under capacity. Many parents who start their children in non-denominational schools end up sending them to a Catholic high school because of convenience rather than choice. I have been working with members of our community to make it clear to the Minister of Education and the province that we are in dire need for a public high school. With this said, I strongly encourage all of those in support to come out to a meeting being held May 24th at 7:30 PM at 133 Greenbank Rd, Nepean, ON K2H 6L3 either to speak or simply to demonstrate our commitment to this proposal through community presence. If you intend to speak, please arrive early to register. I would love to see a large number of parents attend this board meeting for community support. If you would like to know more about this topic or simply want to get involved, I encourage you to email me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. Please provide comments for 5731 Hazeldean Road Proposal As mentioned in my column on May 12, the Planning and Growth Management Department has received a site plan control application for the property municipally known as 5731 Hazeldean Road. The subject site is located northwest of the intersection of Huntmar Drive and Hazeldean Road in the community of Stittsville. The application proposes for a mixed use development consisting of four buildings; two two-storey buildings consisting of commercial uses; a four-storey residential care facility and a five-storey retirement home. A formal circulation providing further details will be provided in the future which will include a time period to provide comments on the proposal development. More information will be available in the coming weeks on my website and on www.ottawa.ca/devaps. You may now submit comments regarding this proposal. Please provide comments by June 3, 2016 to myself and City Planner Mike Schmidt at Mike.Schmidt@ottawa.ca or 613.580.2424 x13431. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

Park plan becomes PR disaster for city
I
t should have been a good news story, but instead has become a public relations disaster. No, not the bench clearing ‘manhandling’ and ‘elbowgate’ rumble last week in the House of Commons. No, this PR faux pas surrounds the plan to build the nation’s largest playground at Mooney’s Bay Park as part of a reality TV show involving kids. Yes, a TV show project that will leave the city with a destination location for any families with children visiting Ottawa has become a hot potato at city hall. This is all because a secret deal to get involved in the project has left many residents and organizations that use the site to stage their events crying foul that they were not informed in advance nor has there been any public consultation. When you have a former Olympian such as Sue Holloway, who lives near Mooney’s Bay and has a fitness area in the park named after her, speaking out, you know the public relations optics surrounding this project have gone off the rails. The city is contributing almost $1 million to the approximately $2-million project, which will be filmed for the Giver children’s TV show.
The show will involve filming the construction of the playground and involve kids as they assist in the construction project that will take the shape of Canada. The structure is scheduled to open on July 1, 2017, to mark the country’s 150th birthday. It sounds like a win-win for the city. A Canada 150 legacy project, with the city getting a $2-million playground for half price as the TV show will also put in $1 million. You can see why those at city hall thought it would be a no-brainer as something the community as a whole could rally around. But the lack of public notice, let alone public consultation, looks bad in light of the fact that in the very same week the Mooney’s Bay Park brouhaha has emerged, city councillors such as George Darouze have been touting how effective public consultations can be after the city’s decision to defer changes to its stormwater rate fee structure after rural residents pushed back. The Mooney’s Bay Park project is exactly the type of Canada 150 legacy project city residents will enjoy for years as opposed to yet more fireworks shows. Yes, the PR optics may be bad, but sometimes things just need to get done.
A very Canadian way to create Order
I
was at Rideau Hall the other day, watching 48 Canadians, including a cousin and a former boss, be inducted into the Order of Canada. The day gave me a greater appreciation of both the Order and the setting in which it was awarded. You wouldn’t say that the recipients represented a crosssection of Canada. This group, on this day, was predominantly white, and predominantly anglo. Still, there was an impressive range of accomplishments among the inductees — some athletes, some teachers, some in the helping professions and the arts, a couple of writers and a bunch of scientists and doctors. A couple of the inductees were famous; most were not. That in itself is encouraging. You can be someone whose accomplishments don’t put you
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in the headlines, yet be shown appreciation by your country. Typically, someone in your community nominates you and then you go through a screening process. Those who have not seen the ceremony and seen the pride Order of Canada recipients take in it may underestimate its significance and its impact on those who are chosen. The fact that recipients proudly wear the lapel pin whenever they can shows that they know it’s important and they’re happy to have it. The ceremony itself reflects
that. There is a formality to it — with a string quartet playing introductory music, the presence of the governor general and various uniformed functionaries, the recipient bowing to the GG before hearing a brief recitation of his or her accomplishments. But we are not a formal people. The string quartet played a Beatles tune. Several of the recipients had small cheering sections that whooped, possibly violating protocol, as their friends were introduced. A couple of the inductees broke through the formality with little gestures of celebration that brought laughs from the crowd. And at the end of the ceremony, there was enthusiastic applause for all the recipients that went on far longer than you would expect. Clearly, both inductees and audience were moved by what they had seen.

So what might originally have been thought of as a formal, British-style ceremony, became quite Canadian, and all the more moving for that. Some of the credit for this goes to Rideau Hall itself, and the people who work there. The building is grand and regal, but the folks inside are friendly and helpful. Anyone who enters intimidated by the surroundings soon relaxes, because there is a staffer at every turn who can tell you where to go, what to do, what happens next. There is no stiffness. They all smile. The rooms are lovely as is the garden out back, where people strolled — and even smoked — after the ceremony. The larger grounds themselves are well-used, by locals as well as tourists, after an unfortunate period in the 1980s when they were closed to the public, for reasons that were never made entirely clear. There are those, and I am one

of them, who think that having a governor general in Canada is a colonial relic. But most people don’t feel that way. We will likely have a governor general and Rideau Hall for decades, if not centuries, to come. Given that, we are fortunate that both the institution and the place have become so welcoming and comfortable for Canadians.

Letter: Now at home in Stittsville Editor: It was Jan. 2016 when I moved to Stittsville. I had worked in the community for years but always went home to what I was used to. It was cold and depressing outside when I got here and I felt I had made a mistake as I had lived in Hintonburg most of my life and I was used to the hustle and bustle of centre town. I kept seeing postings on Facebook before I moved about a Friday night open mic and jam at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. I did not know a lot about the Legion, thinking it was for military people and that I was not even allowed there. I contacted Bill Martin about the open mic night and asked him about it as I was hoping to find something to do. He told me about it and suggested that I attend. Then along came January and I moved in and it felt like I was living in another world. Every week Bill sent me an invitation on Facebook to go to the Legion Hall for the open mic event and every week I would find a reason not to go to it because it would be going alone and was somewhat nervous. Then came Good Friday and I was sitting at home and wondering what I was going to do to make myself feel like I belonged. I was looking through my Facebook and saw the reminder about the open mic night and I made the decision to go to the Legion Hall. I was anxious the whole way there and when I walked in, I went straight to the bar and grabbed a drink so that I would have something to do as I expected to be sitting along for the evening. I went and sat in the back corner of the room to be out of the way. Then the nicest thing happened. Bill Martin came and sat down at my table and talked to me and made me feel at ease by making me smile and laugh at his stories. Then Paul and Thea, a brother and sister, came and asked if they could sit with me. I graciously said yes and was very grateful to have them join me.
I listened to them talk about love that they were lucky to have and is now just a memory but a sweet memory that they eloquently put into words. I went on to spend my first evening at the Legion. I returned to the Legion again and began to hear stories of other loves. Loves found like JoAnne Smallman and Michel who she met and fell in love. Jo-Anne sings and plays guitar and I am her greatest fan. Her music and her kindness touch my heart and make me smile and tear up at the same time as it is so perfect. I have had the greatest pleasure in listening to Linda Barnes sing and her voice is sweet and sentimental and full of joy. This past week I listened to a woman whose name I did not get tell me about how she drove a school bus and when she would get home, her husband would be watching for her and he could tell by her walk that she had a hard day. He would pick up his guitar and when she came in the door, he would be playing the music she loved to lift her spirits. She told me it was the most wonder-
ful thing anyone could do for her and that it made her love him even more. I have heard stories of lost love, found love and everlasting love, all at the Legion Hall on a Friday night. I have watched musicians respect each other by being on stage together and playing like they knew each other all their lives, shaking hands afterwards and thanking each other for the honour of playing with them. The Friday night open mic and jam at the Legion Hall is more than that. It is a place where people meet and talk and share their experiences through stories and songs. It is “Billy and Friends Friday.” The Legion has given me a sense of belonging in Stittsville and I am grateful for all of the lovely people I have been lucky to meet there. I am now at home in Stittsville and I hope anyone else who feels out of place will go to the Legion where you will find friends – I promise. Eileen Masse Stittsville

Last week, the Ontario Government spoke openly about eliminating natural gas as a fuel in Ontario. This would cost each Ontario household $3,000 more per year. This week, two more big news stories broke directly related to bad policy. First, it was leaked that the Wynne Government is cooking up a $7 billion climate change plan to be released this spring. Such a plan will effectively deindustrialize our province. Second, the Liberals and NDP jointly passed the Ontario cap and trade cash-grab scheme into law. These are all bad policies for Ontario, which will hurt and take away from the family budget and individual pocketbooks, as well as damage the bottom line for entrepreneurs and businesses. At the same time, the costs of everything are going up- from groceries to electricity, from home-heating to gasoline. Families will continue to struggle, entrepreneurs will begin to fail and look elsewhere for opportunity, and small businesses will begin to bust or move as costs increase and affordability evaporates. These are bad policies for Ontario and they go too far.

‘Arts in the Park’ at Village Square Park John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com

Sunday, June 5. Already about 55 artisan/artist vendors have signed up for the event and SVA director Doug Sutherland, who is spearheading the organization of the event for the SVA, expects that there will be at least 75 to 85 vendors on site at this year’s event.
LA-Z-BOY STORE OPENS IN KANATA Free Design Assistance and Striking Room Displays Help Shoppers Find Comfortable and Great Looking Furniture to Fit Their Lifestyle KANATA, ONTARIO (May 17, 2016) – Local furniture shoppers will be surprised to see what La-Z-Boy has in store for Kanata residents. The iconic furniture company is holding a grand opening celebration of its awardwinning store design starting May 27, 2016 and featuring a shopping experience as comfortable as its famous furniture. The new store – located at 8231 Campeau Drive in Kanata which occupies just over 19,000-square-feet– boasts a remarkable selection of great looking furniture for the entire home, all presented in inspiring room displays organized by lifestyle. The store represents a new design format for La-Z-Boy, and truly embodies the “Live life comfortablySM” tagline.
There are quite a few new vendors signed up so far this year, probably half of the total number. In addition to the artisans and artists who will be displaying their wares at this year’s “Arts in the Park” event, there will also be authors in attendance as well as music and theatrical performers. Students from the U-Rock Music School in Stitts-
ville will be among those who will be performing. This year’s event will also include a puppet maker. Village Square Park is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. “Arts in the Park” is one of the annual community events which the SVA organizes and hosts in Stittsville.

Richmond’s history was the topic at the Hospice Care Ottawa day hospice in Richmond on Thursday, May 19. John Curry, author of “Richmond on the Jock,” a book outlining the history of Richmond, was the guest speaker. He presented all those in attendance, both clients and volunteers, with a booklet outlining significant dates in the history of Richmond, going back to the founding of the community in 1818. The booklet also contained a number of photos of an historical nature of various Richmond buildings and landmarks. He presented some commentary on the historical dates as well as the photos in the booklet. In addition, the booklet contained a 20 question quiz about the history of Richmond, with each multi-choice question being given three or four possible answers. To wrap up the presentation, there was a raffle draw, with the prizes being Richmond 200th anniversary memorabilia as well as Barry Roberts’ book “For King and Country” telling the story of the first military settlers of Richmond and their involvement in the War of 1812.

If a bountiful vegetable garden is your summer project, Canadian Tire Garden Centre is prepared with a complete line of quality garden supplies, products and plants. All plants, vegetables, flowers and trees are Canadian grown, so you are assured of quality that thrives in our local climate. At Canadian Tire Garden Centre, you will find a healthy assortment of vegetable plants, herbs and seeds to grow your own. Who can resist delicious fruit and vegetables picked fresh for your table? Enjoy fresh tomatoes and strawberries right from the vine, grown in hanging baskets…appetising and good for you too. And Canadian Tire Garden Centre is your source for great tasting, high producing small fruit plants and fruit trees. Need help? Your Canadian Tire Garden Centre staff has the knowledge and experience to help you get maximum results from your garden. They can help you choose the right annuals or perennials, and they can offer knowledgeable tips on planting, how to water plants, as well as all kinds of nursery products from one gallon to 15 gallon pots. Spring is the prime time to rid your yard of young weeds before they take root, and to mulch bare spots in beds. Your Canadian Tire Garden Centre has all types of soil, fertilizers, compost and mulch to make the most of your growing potential.
Weeds are easiest to pull now while roots are shallow. Mulch or ground cover will reduce new weed growth. Be sure to keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems to help reduce rot and protect the bark of young fruit trees. For best results, top dress your garden beds with compost or wellseasoned manure prior to planting. Try not to disturb established beds and they will have already established a complex soil ecosystem. Nutrients added on top will work their way down into the soil. If you take pride in keeping a healthy, green lawn, Nematodes are the biological way to get rid of grubs in soil. Green Earth Grub Busters Nematodes are a naturally occurring, microscopic worm that will safely attack root eating grubs in the larval stage. Nematodes are a natural and safe alternative to pesticides. Easy to use, simply mix and attach to your hose. Canadian Tire Garden Centre has fast growing seed varieties and effective fertilizers so you can grow a carpet of green lawn to last all summer long. Golfgreen 1-Step Lawn Makeover contains fertilizer for fast green-up and Peat to help retain water and micronutrients. Quick germinating seed thickens your lawn, available in an 18 lb (8.2 kg) bag. Looking at an outside living space upgrade? Canadian Tire Garden Centre can help landscaping with paving stones, walkway slabs, decorative stones, gravel and crushed stone to bring your vision to life. Quantity and selection may vary, depending on store size and layout. Trust Canadian Tire Garden Centre to help you get the best from everything grown under the sun.

Gold medals
Hornets win bronze medals
Continued from page 19
Continued from page 21
This was the experience of the Goulbourn Hornets Minor Midget boys basketball team which recently travelled to Niagara Falls for the Ontario Basketball Association provincial championships. The team was peaking at just the right time, with all of the players showing significant development throughout the season. The Hornets used an aggressive full-court defense to keep their opponents in check in these championships. Every game for the Hornets was hard fought. This included overcoming a nine point deficit with under two minutes remaining on the clock in the third game, allowing the Hornets to remain undefeated and advance to the Division 8 gold medal game. In this gold medal championship game, the Scarborough Blues kept it close right up to the end but the Hornets closed the door with solid free throw shooing in the final minute to win the gold medals.
In the annual Blessed Heart Basketball Tournament in Hamilton, the Hornets made it to the gold medal game, facing off against a strong Sudbury squad. The Hornets prevailed in this final game, winning the gold medals with a 54-45 victory. At the EOBA tournament in Manotick, the Hornets came within a “buzzer beater three pointer” of capturing the gold medals. The Hornets won all of their games in the round robin portion of the tournament except for a loss to the Gatineau Dragons. This loss to the Dragons put the Hornets second in their round robin pool, meaning a semi-final playoff game against the first place team from the other pool, namely the Ottawa Next Level (ONL) team. This semi-final game started off very close with the Hornets playing a strong defensive game. The Hornets emerged victorious, defeating the ONL team by a score of 63-49. This set up a return match against the Gatineau Dragons, the team which had defeated the Hornets in round robin play. This time the gold medals would be up for grabs. And what a game it was! There were over ten
lead changes during the game and it all came down to a buzzer beater three pointer at the very end. But, unfortunately for the Hornets, it was the Dragons who sank this game winning three pointer as the Hornets went down to a heartbreaking 73-70 loss. But the Hornets were awarded the silver medals for the tournament. And then came the Hornets’ final weekend tournament of the season, the OBA provincial championships right in Stitts-
ville. The Hornets started this tournament slowly, losing their first game 64-60 against a strong and well coached Lindsay Wildcats team. But the Hornets re-grouped and the next day won two straight games, one against Collingwood and another against the Ottawa Shooting Stars team. See GOULBOURN HORNETS, page 31

Stittsville library branch is closing for renovations John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library will be closed down for almost a month starting on Friday, June 17 to allow library improvements and renovations to take place. This will include the re-carpeting of the library branch as well as other major renovations. The shutdown of the facility will run from Friday, June 17 through to Thursday, July 14. The branch will re-open on Friday, July 15. Because of the length of the shutdown, a
library depot is being set up in the branch’s meeting room. This depot will be accessible via a rear door of the library. There will be signage to direct library patrons to the door. This depot, which will open on Saturday, June 18 and will have the same hours as the full branch now has, will enable library patrons to drop off books and videos, pick up books “on hold” and select books and videos from a small collection. The depot will operate until the full branch re-opens on Friday, July 15. During this shutdown of the Stittsville library branch, staff from the branch will be re-deployed to other library facilities.
This library branch shutdown has also affected the Wall Space Gallery at the branch. There is no art display at the gallery this month due to the closure. Also impacted by this library closure is the “A Good Read” used book store that is located in the library. The “A Good Read” book store will be closed from Thursday, June 2 until Saturday, July 16. During the period from Tuesday, May 31 to the reopening of the store, it is requested that all book donations be held by
the donors. Once the used book store reopens in July, these book donations will be most gladly and thankfully accepted. There is a silver lining of sorts in all of this in that from now until Thursday, June 2 when the store closes, all books in the “A Good Read” used book store will be selling for half price. What a great opportunity to pick up your summer reading books! When “A Good Read” used book store re-opens in July, it will be located at the front of the library branch.

NAV CANADA proposes changes to Ottawa flight paths NAV CANADA is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to flight paths for aircraft arriving to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.
EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-153 By-law 2016-153 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The amendment affects lands adjacent to the Jonn Boyce Municipal Drain, which is located north east of the Village of Greely, in the vicinity of Mitch Owens Road and Bank Street. The proposed amendment will update the boundary of the flood plain overlay and is based on the most up-to-date information available regarding the elevation of lands adjacent to the watercourse.
Some of the new approach paths will lever new technology – known as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) – that combines satellite-based positioning with modern flight management systems, allowing an aircraft to fly a precise route.
EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-154
This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter – reducing flight times and reducing fuel burn as well as related greenhouse gas emissions. RNP also enables Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA); these reduce level segments and are the quietest type of approach.
By-law 2016-154 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The amendment affects lands adjacent to the Osgoode Garden/Cedar Acres Municipal Drain, which is located in the vicinity of Parkway Road between Stagecoach Road and JoÚ Quinn Road. The proposed amendment will update the boundary of the flood plain overlay and is based on the most up-to-date information available regarding the elevation of lands adjacent to the watercourse.
Initially, only a small portion of aircraft – less than 25 per cent – will be equipped to fly the new procedure. As part of the proposed redesign, some standard arrival routes are also being updated. No changes are proposed for departure routes.
EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-155 By-law 2016-155 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The amendment affects the lands located at 1408, 1416 Stittsville Main Street, which is located on the west side of Stittsville Main Street, south of Beverly Street. The proposed amendment will update the boundary of the flood plain overlay, and is based on the most up-to-date information available regarding the elevation of lands adjacent to the watercourse.
The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while GHG reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year.
EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-156
NAV CANADA has made information – including maps – on proposed flight path changes available online at www.navcanada.ca/YOW. Residents are invited to learn about changes and provide feedback using the comment tool available on the website by June 30, 2016. Residents can also attend the following Open House Consultation Events:
EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-157
June 22, 2016 – 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Maurice-Lapointe School Gymnasium 17 Bridgestone Dr Kanata, ON K2M 0E9
By-law 2016-157 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250.

Goulbourn Skating Club skaters who earned medals in the recent SpringFest competition in Gloucester are, from left, Katrina Kirby, silver in Star 2; Cadence James, bronze in Star 2; Chloe Leclaire, silver in Star 2; Olivia Goldie, gold in Star 2; Lauren Mousseau, bronze in Star 2; and Joanna Stanczyk, silver in Star 3.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue has design value as a late example of the Romanesque Revival Style and as an example of early synagogue architecture in Ottawa. The Romanesque Revival style was a popular choice for religious buildings in the 19th century, and was used in other synagogues across Canada, including the oldest surviving synagogue, Congregation Emanuel in Victoria, British Columbia. The heritage attributes of the former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue that are characteristic of the style include its round arched windows, the elaborate round arched entranceway with a fan shaped transom window and brick corbelling and the two tower-like projecting end bays topped with Moorish-inspired decorative metal domes.
Reflections of Italy August 31 - September 9, 2016
HIGHLIGHTS: Rome, the Colosseum, Assisi, Perugia, Siena, Florence, Chianti Winery, Murano Island
The Adath Jeshurun Synagogue was constructed in 1904 to accommodate the growing Jewish community of Lowertown and was one of the earliest synagogues established in Ottawa. After its closure in 1956, it was converted into the Jewish Community Memorial Chapel and operated as the site of all Jewish funerals until 1997. The building has historical value for its associations with the growth of the Jewish community in Lowertown.
LAST CALL
Continuing its use as a spiritual centre, the building was purchased by the Église Adventiste du Septième Jour in 1998. Since then, the church has housed Ottawa’s only Francophone Seventh Day Adventist congregation, and served as the centre of the congregation’s community.

The former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue has historical value for its associations with its designer, architect John W.H. Watts, and alterations by Allan Horwood and Cecil Burgess. Soon after arriving in Ottawa from England, Watts was hired by Thomas Seaton Scott, Chief Architect for the Department of Public Works in Ottawa. Watts was soon elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and was appointed as the curator of the National Gallery in 1882. He served as the curator of the gallery until 1897. At the end of the 19th century, Watts started a career as an architect in private practice and became well known for designing churches and residences for Ottawa’s elite including the Booth Mansion at 252 Metcalfe Street (1909) for J.R. Booth and a house for Andrew Fleck at 500 Wilbrod Street (1901).

‘The Grants of Goulbourn’ in video, print and word Special to the News
and black heritage coat gave a brief introduction to the lives of Robert Grant, one of the area’s first settlers, and Robert Henry Grant, his son who went on to become Minister of Education in Ontario. He then presented a video called “The Grants of Goulbourn” in which he served as the narrator, outlining in more detail about the lives of these two Robert Grants. The video, which was shown at a meeting of the Huntley Historical Society in Carp last fall, was produced by Curry in conjunction and partnership with Sandy Durocher of Navigator Communications of Stittsville who did the video work and the editing. After the video, Curry told about how a sketch of Robert Grant which was used in the video was created even though there are no known photographs of him and also told about the ghost stories that surround the former homes of both Robert Grant and Robert Henry Grant. Curry answered some questions from the audience and then each member of the audience was presented with a booklet prepared by Curry which featured stories and photos about the two Grants. The presentation ended with a raffle draw with the prize being a copy of the new book “Olympic Lyon” by author Michael CoPHIL SWEETNAM PHOTO chrane which is an historical novel which John Curry, left, dressed up in period costume, presents the book “Olympic Lyon” to draw tells the story of George Lyon who was born winner Muriel Gingras, centre, as Sandy Durocher, right, of Navigator Communications in Richmond and went on to win and one of Stittsville looks on at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society meeting on Saturday, and only Olympic gold medal ever awarded for golf. This is timely because this year golf May 21. will be re-introduced into the Olympics so that a gold medal will be awarded again for the first time since George Lyon’s victory at the Olympics in St. Louis in 1904. And perhaps fittingly, the book was won by Muriel Gingras, a retired librarian who was served at the Richmond branch of the Goulbourn Township Public Library for years. It is in honour and recognition of these two “Grants” that the new main north/south arterial road through the Fernbank lands has been named “Robert Grant Avenue.” In addition, the shopping area on the north side of Hazeldean Road immediately west of the Carp River bears the name “Grant Crossing” in honour of these Grants who played a leading role in area affairs from the days of the area’s first settlement right through to 1930. Robert Grant was one of the original settlers of the area and was one of the most prominent of these early settlers. He served as a Goulbourn representative on the District Council, the forerunner of municipal government which came to the area in 1850. He built a Georgian-style home near Poole Creek on his farm, land that is now part of the Fairwinds subdivision. He was known as a progressive farmer and while he lost all of his farm buildings to fire LeaseBusters.com is the largest vehicle lease on a couple of occasions, he assembled quite marketplace in Canada – we’ll unlock you from a portfolio of landholdings over the years. your vehicle lease commitment... save time, He also dealt in potash, one of the major inearly termination fees and penalties. dustrial exports at that time.

north side of Hazeldean Road on a fateful August day. It engulfed his home and he died after going back into the burning building, reportedly to recover church monies. On his death, he was survived by his second wife, Eliza Hardy, and six children, one of whom was a son Robert Henry Grant. It was this son whose prominence in local and indeed provincial affairs even exceeded that of his father. Robert Henry Grant was not only prominent in community affairs in Stittsville and Goulbourn but made his mark in provincial politics as well, serving as provincial Minister of Education from 1919 through 1923.
Besides farming, Robert Henry Grant kept busy, dabbling in politics as he served in various township, county and other posts. He served several terms on Carleton County Council representing Goulbourn township as well as serving 12 years as a county auditor and ten years as a local license commissioner. R.H. Grant took an active interest in local Goulbourn affairs, serving as deputyreeve on Goulbourn township council for a number of years in the late 1880’s and into the 1890’s. Besides holding public office, he also served in various township positions over the years. But it was as an active farmer that he spent most of his time and as such was associated with various agricultural groups. In 1909, R.H. Grant was among those who formed the Hazeldean Rural Telephone Company, a cooperative telephone system where every subscriber was a shareholder. He was one of the original directors of this company which provided telephone service to the Stittsville/Hazeldean and surrounding area, right through until it was sold to the Bell Telephone Company in 1958. Robert H. Grant, who joined the Goodwood Masonic Lodge in Richmond in 1889, served as Master of the Lodge for two consecutive terms in 1896 and 1897. He became a charter member of Hazeldean Lodge No. 517 when it began in 1914. In 1917, as a member of both the Goodwood Lodge and the Hazeldean Lodge, he was the District Deputy Grand Master for the Ottawa area. He obviously liked politics, for in both 1907 and 1912, he ran for the federal Conservative nomination in the Carleton riding but both times failed. But then along came the 1919 provincial election and with it R.H. Grant found success, although it was not as a Conservative but as a member of the upstart United Farmers of Ontario. Undoubtedly because of his agricultural background and his interest in politics, R.H. Grant became the U.F.O. standard bearer in the Carleton riding in this 1919 provincial election. It was a two-way race with R.H. Grant facing Conservative incumbent A.H. Acres. When the ballots were counted, R.H. Grant had won by 1,000 votes and took his place with 44 other U.F.O. successful candidates at Queen’s Park. See ‘THE GRANTS,’ page 35

Beekeeper Paul Lacelle tells about ‘bees and honey’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The queen is commonly surrounded by young worker bees who meet her every need from providing her food to disposing of her waste, Paul explained. There can be up to 80,000
The U.F.O. then formed a coalition with the Independent Labour Party which had surprisingly elected 11 members to the Legislature in the election. The Tories and the Liberals elected 25 and 29 respectively, marking for a collective 54 seats. The U.F.O./I.L.P. alliance thus had a slim margin with its 56 seats. Being elected caught the U.F.O. off guard as the party did not even have a leader. E.C. Drury, another graduate of the Guelph Agricultural College, was selected. When E.C. Drury chose his cabinet, Robert Henry Grant, who was the only U.F.O. MPP elected from Eastern Ontario,
was assigned the education portfolio. Teacher training and remuneration, school attendance, appropriate rural education and consolidation of schools and school sections were all major issues during R.H. Grant’s tenure as education minister. R.H. Grant, like the U.F.O./I.L.P. coalition government, was not re-elected in the 1923 provincial election. He returned to his Hazeldean Road farm, dying in 1930. His son, Arthur W. Grant, carried on with the farm until 1965 when it passed out of the Grant name, ending more than 140 years of Grant ownership of land on the 12th concession of Goulbourn at Stittsville.

Honey was all the buzz at the May meeting of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society. Paul Lacelle of Carleton Place, a long time beekeeper who teaches beekeeping at Algonquin College, spoke on the topic “Bees and Honey,�
in Ontario appeared in Hastings County about 1815. There are three types of honey bees: the female queen, female workers and male drones. There is usually only one queen bee per colony and she lays all of the eggs to create worker or drone bees. She lays her own weight in eggs every couple of hours.
telling that there are about 7,000 beekeepers in Ontario, most of whom do it as a hobby. He explained that honey bees, while are not indigenous to North America, have been around for about 50 million years. Honey bees were first introduced to North America in Virginia in 1622. The first honey bees

Bees are important as pollinators for plants Continued from page 35
Paul said that it is good if there is a young queen bee in a hive going into the winter. Bees play an important role as pollinators as most plants depend on pollinators such as bees to move pollen from one flower or plant to the next. There are over 150 crops in Canada which depend on pollination such as blueberries, apples, tomatoes and melons. Indeed, plants produce nectar to attract pollinators such as bees. Honey bees are not the only pollinators. There are hummingbirds, bats, bumblebees and others. A honey bee can fly up to five to six miles per hour and will travel up to two to three miles to gather pollen and nectar. Bees, though, do not like to travel too far from the hive because it takes too much energy to go far. Honey bees forage for pollen and nectar from early spring to the first frost. Asters and black-eyed susans are favourite flowers for bees because they provide bees with easy access to their pollen and nectar. Paul outlined the products related to honey production. There is honey itself, the most common product which comes from the nectar that is collected from flowering plants. Each plant provides a unique nectar and hence the honey produced has a distinct flavour. Clover, fore instance, produces honey with the lightest colour and mildest flavour. Buckwheat honey is the darkest in colour and the strongest tasting. Creamed honey has the consistency of butter while
comb honey is usually thought of as a “natural” form of honey. Cut comb honey is usually found in square or round sections while beeswax is produced by the glands of bees. For one pound of beeswax to be produced, bees must consume seven pounds of honey. Unpasteurized honey is considered raw honey with nothing added to it or removed from it. It is unprocessed. As such, it retains all of the natural nutrients and nutritional elements that are found in
honey. Following Paul’s presentation, those at the meeting at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville on Tuesday, May 17 were able to sample taste some raw honey as well as some buckwheat honey. He also provided pamphlets which outlined some facts and information about honey. For instance, bees visit two million flowers for each pound of honey produced.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Q: My neighbor tells me that he pays his adult children out of his business corporation to fund their costs and expenses while they attend university, and saves a lot on tax compared to what he would pay if he personally funded their expenses. How do I set up my business corporation to do this? The strategy used by your neighbor likely involves the issue of “dividend sprinkling” shares to his children. It works only with payments made to children over the age of 18 years. In essence, the strategy works to shift income from the high-tax rate paying parent, to the low-tax rate paying child. In many situations the entire dividend is received by the child free from additional tax. The strategy also works between spouses, shifting income from the high tax rate paying spouse to the lower tax rate paying spouse. The attributes of “dividend sprinkling” shares typically include: a discretionary dividend right (meaning that you determine in any year the amount, if any, of the dividend paid); the right to redemption by the corporation for a fixed amount – often $10 (meaning that if you no longer wish to have the child own shares, the corporation has

Twelve worker bees spend their lives making just a tea spoon of honey. Honey is sweeter than sugar so less can be used to achieve the same intensity of sweetness. Honey is also good for a person health-wide as honey has vitamins such as B6, Thiamin, Niacin, Riboflavin and minerals such as calcium, potassium and zinc as well as numerous antioxidants. Honey should be stored covered tightly at room temperature.

the legal right to cancel them for a nominal payment); and are non-voting (meaning you are not giving your child a say in the operation of your business). When shares are issued by an existing corporation, it is advisable that a share freeze be completed prior to their issuance. The “share freeze” is a technique which locks in the current value of a corporation to the existing shareholders with dividends being paid out of increases in value or income of the corporation. There are significant tax and legal complexities and traps associated with setting up and using a dividend sprinkling share structure - including the risk if not properly structured and implemented that amounts paid on the dividend sprinkling shares will be attributed to someone other than the child. Legal and accounting advice should be obtained.

$30,000 from Rotary Club to Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has completed its $30,000 funding commitment to the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre fundraising campaign. The final instalment in the pledge commitment was turned over in a presentation at the second annual Wild West Jamboree in support of the campaign at the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa on Thursday, May 19. Rotary Club members Brad Spriggs and Leo Maiorino, wearing blue Rotary t-shirts along with the cowboy hats that were a feature of this Wild West Jamboree event, presented Dave Smith with a cheque completing the Club’s $30,000 commitment to the project. They also had with them a giant cheque that they used as a prop in making the on-stage presentation before the 200 in attendance at the Wild West Jamboree event. But Brad and Leo also used the occasion to honour Dave Smith as well for his long involvement with and advocacy for addiction treatment facilities for youth in the area. They surprised Dave Smith by presenting him with a Paul Harris Fellow, one of the most prestigious recognitions in Rotary. A Paul Harris Fellow award can be presented to a Rotarian or, as in this case, a member of the community who is not a Rotarian but is a person who has provided outstanding service to the community and also to youth. And Dave Smith certainly meets
this criteria in spades! He is currently spearheading a fundraising campaign to build a new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre to replace the three scattered facilities which now exist. The new facility will be close to Stittsville, located just off Richardson Sideroad in West Carleton. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre changes lives. Just ask Hunter Knight, a youth whose life was on a downward spiral due to cocaine use but whose life was turned around thanks to a stay at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. “I am living proof that you can
overcome addiction,” Hunter told those at the Wild West Jamboree. Hunter told how he stopped playing hockey, his grades slipped and he started using marijuana. He then lost interest in school and cocaine use began, beginning a downward spiral in his life. His salvation turned out to be the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre where, after a long wait, he was admitted and things turned around. He earned seven high school credits during his three month stay at the treatment centre and he came again to have a sense of self-worth. Hunter now has a full time job and he is off to McMaster Univer-

sity in the fall for its Bachelor of Social Work program. “This is what it is all about, changing lives,” Dave Smith said after Hunter had finished his comments. And Dave Smith has been doing this, changing lives, for 23 years now by helping youth and their families with addictions thanks to what he termed “life saving programs.” He said that a new youth treatment centre is now close to reality and is much needed as this one new facility off Richardson Sideroad in West Carleton will replace three existing facilities. This will save staff valuable time that is now lost travelling between the facilities as everything will be under one roof. Mike Beauchesne, executive director of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, said that the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre offers residential addiction and after-care treatment to youth aged 13 to 21 years and their families. He said that since 1993, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has helped over 15,000 youth and their families. This Wild West Jamboree included not only a BBQ steak dinner prepared by Dave Smith himself but also a live auction with Dave as the auctioneer, a silent auction and fundraising challenges involving Jed, the mechanical bull. A western theme of the evening was very much in evidence with cowboy hats provided for everyone, along with bandanas. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is a nonprofit, community-based agency that is dedicated to helping youth and their families overcome substance abuse and related issues. Programs and services offered include assessment, three month residential treatment, three month post-residential continuing care, family services, academics, pro-social recreation and psychiatric assessment and support. In its recent budget, the provincial government allocated $1.5 million to the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre to support the construction of a new 30-bed youth residential treatment facility. In this new facility in rural west Ottawa, the three existing but aging facilities will be merged into a centralized location. All existing staff and programs will be brought together at this new ten-hectare site near the Richardson Sideroad. Total cost of the new facility is $7.8 million. There is still $4.5 million more left to raise to make the new facility a reality. It is hoped that the federal government will match the recent provincial funding.

Teachers and even principal are ‘pied’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Whipped cream pies found their targets at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Friday, May 20. And the targets were the faces of a number of teachers and even the face of principal Colin Anderson. It was all for a good cause as the school’s Social Justice Club hosted this “teacher pied” event to raise funds for the Richmond Village Refugee Welcome group which is sponsoring a refugee family from Syria and also for the relief efforts in Fort McMurray. All told, over $400 was raised. Here’s how it worked: Students could purchase tickets with the prize being the opportunity to land a whipped cream pie on the face of a particular teacher. One student name was drawn for each teacher who agreed to be “pied.” Then, before a packed cafetorium, the student did the “pieing” honours right on the stage, with the teacher sitting on a chair in the middle of the stage, protected with a plastic poncho as well as goggles but otherwise wide open to the impact of the whipped cream pie. Before “pieing” the teacher, the student was interviewed by teacher MC Catie Clapp and asked why a certain teacher was his or her choice to be “pied.” Reasons varied such as Mia Binns wanting to “pie” French teacher Ms. Pattison because there was way too much grammar in the class. Teachers who were “pied” in-
cluded Mme. Larissa DesRochers, Ms. Sarah Woods, Mr. Jack Eyamie, Mr. Brett Lyle, Mr. Kyle Nurse and Ms. Jennifer Pattison. There were also two special “pieings,” one involving former Richmond Public School teacher Bruce Harvey and another involving SCHS principal Colin Anderson. A group of grade five students
from Richmond Public School were at the event as they were visiting South Carleton that day for a basketball clinic. They were accompanied by long time Richmond Public School teacher Bruce Harvey who has retired. Mr. Harvey turned out to be one of the “pieing” victims, as he good naturedly took to the
“pie” seat on the stage where he was surrounded by the Richmond Public School students. In the end, three students each got to deliver a whipped cream pie to Mr. Harvey’s face and head. And, because the fundraising goal was achieved for this “pieing” event thanks to some last minute donations, SCHS principal Colin Anderson lived up to his word and became a “pieing” victim as he had said that he would do if a certain fundraising goal was achieved. The goal was achieved and so as the grand finale to this “pieing” event, he took the “pie” seat on stage and received a whipped cream pie in the face thanks to student Maggie Merkley who quite simply said that she wanted to “pie” the principal for no particular reason other than she wanted to do it “in principle.”

‘The Backsliders’ fill shop with bluegrass music John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Bluegrass music filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its music evening on Friday, May 20 thanks to the five-piece bluegrass band “The Backsliders.” And this meant an evening of songs with such typical bluegrass themes as being lonesome, travelling the roads, starting over again, losing a girl to a city boy and the like. There were songs about trains, jail, murder, cold rain and snow and loneliness – a typical bluegrass repertoire. And associated with these themes were typical lyrics that are only found in bluegrass music. So you heard lyrics like: “On and on, I’ll follow my darling and I wonder where she may be”; “Sweetheart, I beg you to come home tonight. I’m so blue and all alone. I promise I’ll treat you right”; “Train moving slowly down the winding track”; “It’s a long, lonesome life down in the cell”; “Let me out in that cold rain and snow”; “No, ain’t got trouble now”; “At 21 he was dead”; “Wearing a hole in the honky tonk floor”; “I’m bound where the wild river roams”; “The cost of your love has taken its toll”; “I try to be”; “All the mistakes we are sure to make are a chance to start over again”; “When I pass through those pearly gates”; and “This ball and chain is mine.” And each song was punctuated not only with these
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Members of “The Backsliders” bluegrass band which performed at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday, May 20 are, from left, Ed Sexton on the guitar, Terry McDonald on bass, Jason McDonald playing the mandolin, Don Fletcher on the fiddle and Warren Recoskie on the guitar. lyrics battling life’s loves and losses and hardships but also with solo musical flourishes by fiddler Don Fletcher or mandolin player Jason McDonald or guitar players Ed Sexton or Warren Recoskie. And most of the group’s five members also took their turn at doing the vocals for a song or two in the performance. Along the way, “The Backsliders” touched on some legendary bluegrass performers such as Grandpa Jones, the American banjo player and old time country and gospel music singer who is in the Country Music Hall of Fame but is perhaps best known for being a cast member of the TV show “Hee Haw.” “The Backsliders” sang one of Grandpa Jones’ best known songs, “Eight More Miles to Louisville” with its memorable lyric “Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart.” “The Backsliders” performed a John Prine tune as any
bluegrass performance perhaps should, given that this American country folk singer is one of the most influential songwriters of his generation, capturing many melancholy tales of life which is the “meat and potatoes” of bluegrass music. Bass player Terry McDonald led in the performance of a song associated with Canadian alternative country singer Fred Eaglesmith, featuring a lyric of regret - “There are some roads I should have travelled.” Fred Eaglesmith loves to write and sing about down and out characters as well as failing farms and small businesses. No bluegrass performance would be complete without the inclusion of the famous “Cherokee Shuffle” and “The Backsliders” did not disappoint, including the tune in its performance at the Gaia Java shop. Warren Recoskie told how the band learned the tune for a bluegrass
festival in Renfrew and after playing it in numerous jam sessions there, it has become a regular part of the band’s repertoire. But “The Backsliders” also presented an original tune “The Engineer’s Proposal” which was written by the group’s fiddler Don Fletcher for playing at the wedding of a couple of fiddler friends, one of whom is an engineer. And true to their name, “The Backsliders” finished up their performance with what has become the group’s theme song, “The Backsliding Blues,” telling of a lost love, the ensuing drinking and the resulting backsliding. “Can’t seem to lose the backsliding blues,” the song laments. “The Backsliders” present a relaxed atmosphere on stage. There’s Jason McDonald of Stittsville who is a vocalist and the group’s mandolin player. Don Fletcher of Stittsville is the group’s fiddler while Ed Sexton of Ottawa plays the guitar as does Warren Recoskie of Orleans. The group is rounded out by Terry McDonald of Stittsville, Jason’s father, who is the bass player and sings a song or two. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge although donations to help the performers with their expenses are encouraged.

Four decades of furniture making in Richmond John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Got Events?
Over 40 years of furniture making in Richmond has ended with the closure of After Harvest Custom Furniture. The maker of custom-made solid wood furniture has closed down, with its Perth Street building sold as of the end of the month and all of its remaining furniture as well as the equipment and supplies in its woodworking shop sold in a recent onsite auction. This marks the end of a furniture making enterprise which began in Nov. 1975, opened by Don Skelton and his wife Maxima. For the last 31 years, it had been owned and operated by Jackson Chung. At one time under the Chung ownership, After Harvest had six employees but recently this had dropped down to two. Chung admits that the finished solid wood furniture made by After Harvest is no longer in demand as in the past. Tastes

now favour rustic barnboard-type wood furniture which After Harvest does not make. This brought about the decision to close the business while selling the building. The recent auction with auctioneer John O’Neill saw all of the remaining contents of the After Harvest showroom as well as its furniture making woodworking shop go under the auctioneer’s hammer. The auction started in the building’s rear workshop area and then progressed to the showroom area. Sold for anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars were hinges, saw blades, screws, sanders, electric drills, planes, a miter saw, a cordless drill, benches on wheels, saw horses, wood, a band saw, spindles and more. And these were just some of the items in the woodworking shop. In the showroom chairs, a book shelf,
a sideboard, an extension table and more went to the highest bidders. After Harvest opened in Richmond in Nov. 1975, with workshop and showroom space rented in a Perth Street building that recently has housed Bayview Windows. Owner Don Skelton foresaw a trend towards pine furniture while also believing that there was an ongoing market for well made furniture. He developed a line of furniture products made from Ontario kiln dried white pine which included harvest tables, sideboards, chests, beds and round tables. With previous experience in the pine furniture business, he designed the After Harvest furniture himself. The name After Harvest came from the fact that most antique pine furniture was made by pioneers after the harvest had been brought in and they had nothing else to do so that they could make furniture while awaiting spring.

International cuisine at fundraising dinner John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Think about enjoying a feast of international cuisine while supporting Richmond’s refugee sponsorship effort. It can’t get any better than that – a delicious three-course meal with food from around the world while helping raise funds for the refugee family that is being sponsored by Richmond. It all happens on Saturday, June 4 starting at 6 p.m. at the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. Everyone is welcome. This international dinner will be a full threecourse meal with nibbles/starters on the tables when you arrive including olives, humus, tapenade and pita bread. Then it will be on to a Japanese Golden Chicken, Vegetable Curry, a Moroccan Vegetable Tagine, a Greek Bean, a Vegetable Mousaka, rice, naan bread, Greek salad and a mango, snap peas and red pepper salad. For dessert, there will be fruit platters, squares, homemade baklava, dates, ripe figs and nuts. And the evening will feature more than just this food with an international flavour. There will also be entertainment provided by a group called “Fiddlehead Soup” which features love songs and lullabies in four different languages, adding yet another international flavour to the event. The group also features some fiddlers. This “Fiddlehead Soup” group has waived its appearance fee for the event because the cause is dear to them. There will also be dancing for those who have happy feet. There will be a cash bar, raffles and door prizes. Tickets at $45 each or $30 each for seniors (age 65 plus) are available from Carole Luff at 613-8382456, Jean Langman at 613-489-3431 or Lynne and Dave Pearen at 613-838-2294.

‘Pop Up Prom Shop’ thanks to teacher Karen Kurlicki Nancy Hough
Special to the News
Three years ago, Bell High School physical education teacher Karen Kurlicki, who lives in Stittsville, noticed that a number of her students were unable to attend their graduation prom be-
cause they simply could not afford an appropriate dress or gown. Never one to sit by when a situation seems inequitable, Kurlicki set about to find a solution. That’s when the “Pop Up Prom Shop” was born. The idea is really quite simple! Get people to donate prom dresses, shoes,
purses and other accessories, find a venue, set up a change room, decorate the room, produce some advertising, find volunteers and, whew, you have a “Pop Up Prom Shop.” In reality, the reality of the idea is not as simple as it all sounds but with lots of hard work and help from students, teach-
ers and administration, Kurlicki staged the first “Pop Up Prom Shop” for one day in the spring of 2015. It was held again this year, taking place on May 12 and 13, with overwhelming success thanks to a collaborative effort on the part of both students and staff. The comm-teach room at the school was used for the two days, undergoing quite a transformation from its usual appearance. ESL (English as a Second Language) students from Ms. Salyi’s class produce the row-upon-row of gigantic white tissue balls that were strung from the ceiling to create a festive atmosphere in the shop. The mirrors in the change rooms were draped with tiny Christmas lights. Long prom dresses and short grad and prom dresses were colour coded and sized and then hung on racks made by Mr. Stasko. He even whipped up an extra rack on the Thursday morning that the shop opened, putting it in the change room so that the girls could use it to hang the dresses up while they were trying another on. Baylianne Rich volunteered her time and organized the music that played in the “Pop Up Prom Shop” during the day. And yes, there were photographers on hand. Clara Nishida and Arwa Khalaf set up the lights and helped the girls pose for numerous shots of them in their dresses. See ‘POP UP PROM SHOP,’ page 55

‘Pop Up Prom Shop’ at Bell High School Continued from page 54
Throughout the two days of the “Pop Up Prom Shop,” shouts of glee, screams of delight and laughter filled the room and the change rooms as the girls helped each other find that perfect dress. Aswini Ganesh took one look in the mirror and said “I never knew I could look like this! I’m so elegant!” Kurlicki was thrilled with the turnout as she listened and watched the girls’ reactions. “Did you see her face?, she would exclaim. “That is what we do this for. To let every girls feel like a princess, and not let her miss such an important milestone.” Several teachers spent their spare period and lunch break helping the girls choose the perfect dress. They offered advice as to dress colours and styles as well as helping the girls choose appropriate shoes and other accessories. They were having just as much fun as the students.
Art show in Richmond Special to the News
There’s an art show and sale coming up in Richmond on Saturday, June 18 and there’s still some spaces for more artists to participate. The Richmond Village Art Club is hosting this annual art show and sale in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds on Perth Street. And it’s bound to be a busy event because this is the same day that the annual outdoor quilt show is being held on the grounds at The
Once their choices were made, the girls would make a donation according to their ability to do so. Their smiles and oft-repeated “thanks” spoke volumes about the success of this “Pop Up Prom Shop.” Teacher Ms. Keeble added another element to the event by setting up as raffle for a top-of-the-line tuxedo rental from Moores. Kurlicki and her team of volunteers want to thank everyone who helped make this twoday “Pop Up Prom Shop” happen. Thanks go to the individuals who donated dresses and accessories. Special thanks to Melissa Shabinsky and Catherine Whitla at the Fairy Godmother program which supplied a huge number of the dresses. Plans are now underway to have a “Pop Up Prom Shop” again in 2017. A number of students from Stittsville and Goulbourn attend Bell High School as part of the gifted program that is offered at that school.
Country Quilter shop on McBean Street in Richmond. The art show and sale will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with set-up beginning at 9:30 a.m. The charge for the vendor space at the art show and sale is $20 with tables and chairs available with no additional charge.

Buddy Bench at A. Lorne Cassidy John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
There’s now a Buddy Bench at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. You can’t miss it – it’s a bright red bench right in clear view in the school’s playground area.
This Buddy Bench bears a plaque which proclaims that the bench is there in memory of former A.L.C. student Bryce Jude who battled a rare form of childhood leukemia for three years before passing away shortly after his seventh birthday. See RED BENCH, page 57

Red bench spreads message of inclusion and kindness Continued from page 56
Indeed, the bench is red because that was Bryce’s favourite colour as he was a devoted and animated fan of the Ottawa Senators. Initially the Jude family had wanted to plant a tree in memory of Bryce at the school but then on hearing about a Buddy Bench, it was thought that such a bench would better represent who Bryce was as he was a youngster who was very social, very inclusive in his actions and one who got involved. A Buddy Bench is a bench placed in a

The spring concert of the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s children’s choirs will be held on Saturday, June 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Sa-
playground that is meant to eliminate loneliness and to foster friendship, spreading the message of inclusion and kindness. To the Jude family, such a bench and its purpose reflects Bryce’s personality and so will be a much better memorial to his memory than a tree. So, at a recent outdoor assembly surrounding the red bench, Bryce’s mother, Dev Jude, told the 600 assembled students the purpose behind the bench. It is there to be used by students who are looking for a new friend or for some fellow student or students to play with. Sometimes, regular

friends are not available at times or a student is seeking a new friend. At times like that, the student simply has to sit on the red bench and that is the signal that he or she is looking for a new friend or playmate. But this is not a one way street. Students playing in the playground, on seeing a fellow student sitting on the bench, are expected to take the responsibility to approach the student, introduce himself or herself and offer to play with the student. It is all about being inclusive and making new friends. So far, since the purpose of the bench was explained to the students, the bench has been fulfilling its function. Students are sitting there; other students are approaching them to offer friendship; and the school community is experiencing more inclusiveness. This is just what Bryce himself would have wanted, given his so-

cial inclusive nature. This Buddy Bench is the latest memorial in honour of Bryce Jude. In his memory and honour, the Jude family created Refuse2Lose – Team Bryce as a means to “Pay It Forward” to support children and their families who are battling cancer, just like the Jude family did during Bryce’s own battle. Refuse2Lose – Team Bryce annually supports the Candlelighters Suite Seats program at the Canadian Tire Centre which allows children and their families to escape the day-to-day stresses of battling cancer by attending events at the Canadian Tire Centre such as Ottawa Senators games or concerts. This is most appropriate because it not only puts smiles on these brave children’s faces but it also helps celebrate Bryce and his love of hockey and his beloved Ottawa Senators.
The Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners will be the place to be on Sunday, June 19 which is Father’s Day. That’s when the Museum is hosting its fifth annual “Father’s Day Flashback” event that is a great event for young families to attend. It’s also as great event for folks of all ages as well. This year this Father’s Day Flashback will include a live animal display, a barbecue, an ice cream vendor, vintage toys, an old fashioned photo booth, a caricature artist, a silent auction, demonstrations and a re-enactment of a nursing sister and a medic at a World War One forward aid post. The Museum’s newest exhibition, “Healing Hands: Madicine During the World Wars,” will be
on display, highlighting the role played by the Red Cross, Nursing Sisters and Veterinarians in the First World War. The silent auction always features a variety of items that appeal to lots of interests. Indeed, you just might see a great Father’s Day gift there! Donations of items for this silent auction are still being accepted by the Goulbourn Museum. There will be a charitable tax receipt issued in exchange for any donation. Businesses which donate an item will have the business name added to the exhibit panel of contributors that is on display in the Museum. In addition, the business name will be added to the partnership feature in the Museum’s annual report and the name will also appear on the “thank you” sign at the event. So, not a bad return for

Open house at Deschenes-Poitras Dental Centre John Curry
John.curry@metroland.com
It’s been six months now since the Deschenes-Poitras Dental Centre relocated to the “big red barn” beneath the Stittsville water tower. And now everyone is being invited to visit the premises and see how the second floor of this former home of Gendron Antiques has been transformed into a modern but homey dental office. An open house is being held this Saturday, May 28 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at this “big red barn” which is formally at 6255 Hazeldean Road but can be accessed from either the Hazeldean Road or the Carp Road. At the open house, you can tour the facility while enjoying refreshments and food. You will also be able to chat with Drs. Michael Poitras and Cathy Deschenes. The Deschenes-Poitras Dental Centre moved to this new location after 12 years on the second floor at the Stittsville Shopping Centre
on Stittsville Main Street. These new premises provide room for expansion in the future, with space for a couple of more dental rooms. Sometime in the future, Drs. Michael and Cathy expect that another dentist will join them so the extra room will be needed. It will be a dentist whose values and attitude towards families and patients mirrors their own outlook. How Drs. Michael and Cathy acquired this red barn is quite a story. Faced with the possibility of moving from the former premises, Dr. Michael started looking around at what was on the market and stumbled upon this red barn property, although it was identified with a photo of the house on the property rather than the red barn. It turned out that Drs. Michael and Cathy knew Line and Marc Gendron of Gendron Antiques and in fact Line and Marc were patients of theirs. There had been a possibility that other possible purchasers would tear down
the red barn, something that Line and Marc did not want to happen. So when they learned of the interest by Drs. Michael and Cathy and realized that with them the red barn would remain in place, they were happy. The four of them ended up doing all of the negotiations face to face. And things went so smoothly. Indeed, when the turnover of the keys happened, it was done over a bottle of champagne at the Deschenes-Poitras house in Stittsville, with everyone in tears – tears of happiness. Drs. Michael and Cathy still see Line and Marc Gendron regularly. They are still patients and they still have supper together at times. Renovations such as adding several new windows to the south side of the building facing Hazeldean Road to accommodate new dental rooms and lowering the ceiling so that services could be installed above the ceiling were carried out last fall, with the dental office opening in early December.

elevator was also added for accessible patient access to the second floor. Dr. Cathy feels that the new premises are cozy and
warm. “You feel homey,” she says about being in the new premises. Dr. Michael admits that he always loved the red barn
and says that in the renovation work, he and Cathy tried to respect the “feel” of the building. See ‘COZY,’ page 59

Dr. Cathy adds that patients comment that they feel comfortable in the new premises, calling them “simple, warm, cozy” with no clinical feel. The DeschenesPoitras Dental Centre staff also loves the new premises. And, in some ways, it may have been fate that the DeschenesPoitras Dental Centre is now located in a red barn. As it happens, Cathy’s father and her brother had told them that they were building a barn for horses at her brother’s place in Nova Scotia. Well, this barn that they built turned out to be a red barn with a green roof, something which they did not know when deciding to purchase the Stittsville red barn. And now Cathy and Michael have their dental
practice in a red barn with a green roof as well. How coincidental is that! The DeschenesPoitras Dental Centre opened in Stittsville in 2004. Drs. Michael and Cathy selected Stittsville because it was halfway between Michael’s home town of Sudbury and Cathy’s home town near Quebec City. In addition, it was a growing community in a bilingual area. And, furthermore, both Michael and Cathy liked the Ottawa area. Today Cathy says that she and Michael love the Stittsville community and are proud to be part of it. She and Michael both hope that everyone will drop by to the open house this Saturday afternoon, May 28 and see how the big red barn has become the home of their dental office.

Look for two new buildings at the Shoppes at Fairwinds Shopping Centre at the northeast corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive in Stittsville. The city of Ottawa has received an site plan application from Kathleen Willis Consulting Ltd. on behalf of owner North American Corporation to add two new commercial buildings to the site. One of these new buildings would be located along Hunt-
mar Drive directly north of the existing Shoppers Drug Mart which is at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive. This building will be about 1040 square metres in size. The second new building would be at the other i.e. east end of the shopping centre, namely at the current eastern access to the shopping centre. This puts the building adjacent to the realigned Hazeldean Creek which runs along the southeastern portion of the site as well as adjacent to the future north-south
arterial road (Robert Grant Avenue) which will run beside the shopping centre site. This new building, about 422 square metres in size, will have a drive-thru lane on the north side of the building and a patio on the south side. No new parking requirements are needed in adding these two new buildings to the site plan for the shopping centre as the parking requirements for the shopping centre have been exceeded. The Shoppes at Fairwinds Shopping Centre, which began in 2010, has developed
through a number of phases. Since the shopping centre is located along Hazeldean Road, design guidelines for Arterial Mainstreets will be applicable to these new buildings. For more information about these two proposed new buildings or to provide a comment, please contact city of Ottawa planner Jean-Charles Renaud at 613-580-2424, ext. 27629 or via email at Jean-Charles.Renaud@ottawa.ca. Comments on this proposal should be provided by Monday, June 13.

Opening of the parlour marks start of new season
MARY COOK Memories Finally, once again we were allowed into the parlour. It had been closed up as tight as a drum since the first snow fall months before. The braided rug rolled up on the floor tight to the door sealing the cold air in, and keeping the warm air of the kitchen out, had been thrown over the fence and beaten with the broom and rolled up in the Renfrew Mercury and tucked under a bed until needed again. The only time the parlour door had been open since being shut off for the winter, was when it was our turn to have the Saturday night house party. And as soon as the last body went home, slam went the door and down went the braided rug! That day, when I came home from school and walked into the kitchen, there was the parlour door wide open. The only window was on the north side and so the sun hadn’t penetrated the

room and I could still feel the chill of the long winter months when it was closed up. But it was like a new adventure to me, being able to use the parlour again. It was as if I had never seen the room before! Of course, nothing had changed. The horsehair settee, the largest piece of furniture, sat kitty corner, and the twig table beside, still held the big family Bible, which was full of pieces of paper telling of births, deaths, and marriages. And even though I loved to look at the Bible, it held a bit of terror for me, too. Because pressed between its pages were several dried up flowers, taken right off the casket of a departed relative. Nobody seemed to know whose casket they came from, and that alone was enough to cause goose bumps on my arms, as my fervent mind pictured some poor departed soul who was right there in the parlour with me. Just like before a Saturday night house

party, it took a couple of days for the odors of the closed-up parlour to smell, as Father called it “decent.” To me it smelled like old wet galoshes, and then there were the mothballs. Mother put an ample amount of them all over the room, and I could never understand if it was to cover the moldy smell, or to keep away the moths, which we always seemed to have in great abundance. Mother tucked them into the crevices of the settee, they sat on the twig table, and I even found some under the braided rug by the one sitting-chair in the room. Of course, there would be dust everywhere. And so it was my job to wipe the furniture and take the whisk to the cushions, and generally try to bring the parlour back to whatever grandeur it had. And the parlour was not considered a room for frivolity! Games were never to be played in it, and any roughhousing was absolutely out of the question. On the walls were pictures of those who had passed on. Big oval pictures of stern faces looking like they carried the cares of the entire world on their shoulders. I often wondered, as I looked on them with awe, if they had ever smiled even once during their long lives. One frame held someone’s braided hair, worked into a semi circle, with a small tintype picture underneath it. That picture gave me the willies, and I did everything in my power to keep my eyes averted from it when I
was in the parlour. Mother didn’t like it any better than I did and once she told Father she was going to get rid of it. Father looked like he had been struck with a plank and said the hair in the frame had been there long before he was born and that’s where it would be staying. Mother asked him whose hair it was and he had no idea, but nonetheless, it was not to be taken down. And so it stayed and like the dried flowers pressed in the family Bible, put a chill in the parlour for me that even the hot summer days couldn’t erase. And it was in the parlour that we five children sat when we settle down with a book from the Renfrew Library. Never were we allowed to read at the kitchen table, just in case a crumb or a spot of butter got on a page, and we would have to pay for the book when we took it back. I was always glad when the parlour was opened after the long winter and it was a place to read, settled down on the horsehair settee, which was as hard as a board. It was a small room, and when I sat there alone with my library book, even though the pictures on the walls gave me pause, it was a place where I could escape into a fantasy world, lost in the pages of my book from the Renfrew Library.

Strawberry meringue cake easy to make Also known as Brita cake, this Finnish vanilla cake meringue combo appears difficult to make, but it’s not. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect looking, it will taste delicious with juicy fresh strawberries. Preparation Time 25 minutes Baking Time: 22 minutes Chilling Rime: up to 4 hours Serves: 8 Ingredients 3 eggs, at room temperature 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, at room temperature 2/3 cup (150 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk Meringue layer: 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar 1 cup (250 mL) 35 per cent whipping cream 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced strawberries Preparation instructions Draw a 12- x 7-inch (30 x 18 cm) rectangle on parchment paper; turn over and line a baking sheet. Set aside. Separate eggs, placing yolks in small bowl and whites in medium bowl. In separate small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. In large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with 2/3 cup (150 mL) of sugar until
creamy. Beat in yolks, one at a time, scraping down sides until well blended. Beat in half the flour mixture followed by milk and remaining flour mixture, scraping down sides as needed. Scrape onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread to fit the traced rectangle. Meringue: Using clean beaters and bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Beat in granulated sugar, 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time; until stiff glossy peaks form. Carefully spread over cake batter.

Students use the power of baking to raise funds for relief efforts in Fort McMurray They did this by holding a bake sale at lunch time at the school, with students in the grade nine tech class using their skills in the kitchen to produce cookies of all kinds for the bake sale. The tech class is not a cooking class as such but there is a cooking portion to the class that sees students create baked goods with the goal of selling them. This fits in with the curriculum expectation of using a design process to create a

There’s a saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It reveals the power of cooking and baking. And students at ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais used the power of baking in their own way on Thursday, May 19, raising funds for Red Cross relief efforts in Fort McMurray.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Grade nine students, from left, Lily Charron, Renee Cote and Jessica Florent are with a tray of their cookies with brightly-coloured frosting which they sold at the fundraising bake sale for Red Cross relief efforts in Fort McMurray which was held at Ecole secondaire catholique PaulDesmarais on Thursday, May 19.
product with the goal of marketing or selling it. The students in this class worked in groups of three with two groups of four, mainly because of production restrictions. With just four ovens available, it would have been a timing nightmare if each student had cookies to bake. Working in groups reduced the oven usage needed. The students presented their baked products in the bake sale, raising funds to help with the Fort McMurray relief efforts. Tech class teacher Patrick De Francesco will be marking the cookies baked by appearance but purely from a creativity standpoint – were the cookies plain or more elaborate? The difficulty of the recipe used will have an impact on the mark. The students were able to choose their own recipe so it was entirely up to them how much of a challenge to give themselves. Skills exhibited in the kitchen and taste will also be considered in the marking. However, teacher De Francesco indicates that he has tasted all of the cookies and they were universally delicious, so the taste consideration should not make much of a difference. One team of students who made 40 sugar cookies (20 cookies to a
batch) and decorated them with colourful frosting was comprised of Lily Charron, Renee Cote and Jessica Florent. Jessica pointed out that many students went with a chocolatebased cookie recipe, so their group decided to go with something else, selecting sugar cookies which are simple to make but taste good if good ingredients are used. Taking on the challenge of making some creative cookies was the team of students Melissa Purdie, Georgia Minnie and Chelsea Klein who decided to bake “cookie monster” cookies after checking out possibilities on Google. Chelsea noted that it took a long time to make these “cookie monster” cookies with a lot of ingredients involved. It involved not only make sugar cookies but also making chocolate chip cookies and then cutting them in half to be part of the finished product. The cookie monster eyes were chocolate frosting. Melissa pointed out that all of the effort was worthwhile because these “cookie monster” cookies sold out at the bake sale. Sister Mona Mreiche, the pastoral worker at ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais, knew that the school’s grade seven pas-
toral committee students wanted to do a bake sale fundraiser to help out the Fort McMurray area where there is only one francophone school. She then heard that the grade nine tech class, with its cooking component, wanted to do a fundraising bake sale as well. So Sister Mona encouraged the two groups to combine their efforts and the May 19th bake sale became a reality. She noted that the students in the tech class, by baking not only learned new skills but also learned that they can use these skills to do something good and make a difference in the world. Sister Mona also said that she was impressed by the generosity exhibited by the student customers at the bake sale who readily contributed any change to the cause. She said that she was touched to see that the students were aware that by supporting the bake sale, they were doing good and helping out others. It was not just a case of buying cookies because they liked cookies. They were doing something that would make a difference in Fort McMurray. The week before, the school held a pizza sale which raised money for Fort McMurray relief as well.

‘Quilts in the Garden’ in Richmond June 18 John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s quilt time in Richmond on Saturday, June 18. That’s when The Country Quilter shop on McBean Street is holding its annual outdoor “Quilts in the Garden” show. Over 100 quilts and handmade items will be on display, hanging on clotheslines strung throughout the expansive grounds of The Country Quilter shop. This quilt show and sale will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with all of the quilts and other items on display created by those who have some connection to The Country Quilter. This “Quilts in the Garden” event began back in 2002, with the inaugural event featuring just 20 quilts. Boy, how it has grown over the years! The driving force and inspiration behind this annual outdoor quilt show is Ann McLean, owner of The Country Quilter which offers ongoing classes in embroidery, knitting, machine piecing, long arm quilting and traditional hand quilting for both beginners and veterans alike. Groups meet at the shop weekly to learn, improve and challenge their quilting skills or monthly for such projects as making comfort quilts for local shelters or maybe fidget quilts for Alzheimer patients. All classes at The Country Quilter fea-
ture the newest fabrics, richest colours and latest techniques, led by knowledgeable, passionate instructors. There is no admission charge to visit the “Quilts in the Garden” event on Saturday, June 18 as everyone is welcome to attend. See the work done by the “Artist-inResidence” couple of Carol and Pete Marshall from Manotick (aka “The Quilting Couple”). JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 12 noon to sharpen scissors, rotary cutters, knives or lawn care tools, all for a minimal cost. There will be a used book sale fundraiser for CANHAVE, a registered charity that sends HIV/AIDS affected orphans in Uganda to school. Last year enough money was raised from the used book sale at this “Quilts in the Garden” event to send two children to school in Uganda for one year. There will also be a quilt raffle, also to support CANHAVE. And don’t forget to look for the doll display and sale from “All Dolled Up.” There will be complimentary Bridgehead coffee available right in the garden courtesy of CC’s Corner in Richmond. In addition, the ladies of St. Paul’s United Church which is right beside The Country Quilter will once again be serving a delicious lunch for only $10 on this special day.

Sacred Heart’s Relay For Life event at Oz Dome A group of students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School, about 120 strong, will be walking to make a difference on Friday, June 3. That’s when the school’s student-organized Relay For Life event takes place for the second straight year at the Oz Dome site off the Carp Road. Students will be spending 12 hours walking in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. But it will not be just all walking as teams participate in this relayformat event. The group’s organizers saw from last year’s inaugural event, also at the Oz Dome, what worked and what did not and they are building on this in this year’s event while also adding some new features. Again this year there will be student-run activities such as a fashion show in which the costumedstudent teams will demonstrate their movie themes. There will be testimonials from cancer survivors as well as the very popular “open mic” in which participating students can share with others the reason why they are participating in the event. Grade 12 student Jordan Ingram, for example, is involved with this Relay For Life event including helping to organize it because family members have been impacted by cancer. Grade 11 student Caitlin Bauer has had cancer diagnosis in her family while Margaret Noble, another grade 11 student who is helping with the event’s organization this year, has had both family members and close friends impacted by cancer. And event coordinator Cacia Ploeg is involved with the organization of the event as she has taken over her leadership position from her sister who headed last

year’s inaugural event but who has now graduated. Her sister is her motivation as her sister battled cancer as a youngster. Cacia says that holding a Relay For Life event in support of the Canadian Cancer Society shows that students can make a difference. Relay For Life at Sacred Heart began two years ago when Sacred Heart students participated in a Relay For Life event at another school, learning what was involved in organizing the event and how to run such an event. Last year Sacred Heart hosted its own Relay For Life event, holding it at the Oz Dome site off Carp Road. The Oz Dome donated the use of the site last year and has done so again this year. Corporate and business support has been engaged. For instance, this year The Sweet Room is donating cupcakes for the event. Other companies are also involved in one way or another. It is expected that there will be 15 teams of students participating in this year’s event, totalling about 120 students in all. As it is a relay, students take turns for their team, walking around the route of the walk on the grounds at the Oz Dome. Among the activities this year will be yoga, a frozen t-shirt contest and a three-legged obstacle course race. These activities are all intended to help build team spirit and encourage team members to work together. There will also be a photo booth in which students will be able to pose with various props and a backdrop. It will be a great spot for team photos. Each participant in the Relay For Life will be receiving a t-shirt and a special bracelet. There will be a BBQ on site thanks to the Oz Dome. And, like with every Relay For Life event, there will be a luminary ceremony, with lighted luminaries set out in memory of those who have battled or who are battling cancer. The Relay For Life organizers have been raising funds as well as awareness of the event over the school year. They have sold cotton candy, held bake sales and provided baked goods and coffee at parent/teacher interviews, among other things, with the funds going to the overall fundraising goal.
There is no fundraising goal as such for the event so that it does not become a competitive situation. Rather, participants are

Jackson Chung, left, owner of After Harvest Custom Furniture in Richmond, talks with auctioneer John O’Neill, right, at the recent auction sale which saw the selling of the remaining contents of the firm’s showroom and the contents of its woodworking shop.
After Harvest closes, building is sold Continued from page 50
But within a few years, After Harvest needed larger premises as the business had outgrown its rented premises, with eight employees on staff. In 1978, After Harvest moved into its new building on Perth Street, the spot which would be its home for the next 38 years, right up to its closure and the sale of the building. This new 5,900 square foot building was designed to be functional for the manufacture and sale of furniture while somewhat unique in appearance. It was built with concrete blocks with a sloping concrete roof both for practical as well as aesthetic reasons. The lack of wood construction made the building more fire safe, helping to reduce insurance costs. The sloping concrete roof gave the building a unique appearance, avoiding both a “box” design as well as a flat roof which might be prone to leaking. The building was outfitted with a special dust collection system and feature some new machinery which allowed After Harvest to add some new pieces to its line of Canadian pine furniture. The showroom area of the new building was one and a half times larger than in the original showroom. There was also a mezzanine area. Thirty one years ago Jackson Chung purchased the business, not from the original owner Don Skelton but from the person to whom Skelton had sold the business but who only operated it for a brief while before selling it to Chung. In recent years, After Harvest had sold a full line of bedroom, office, dining room and living room solid wood furniture in pine oak and maple in early Canadian and American styles. It has all been hand-made for the customer in the After Harvest on-premises shop.
