Dressed for success at the course
The ladies at the Amberwood Golf Course in Stittsville were out in force for their first event of the season on May 30, which they dubbed Swing and Bling in which many members wore vintage clothing for the event. The winner of the best dressed prize at the luncheon event held at the Ale Restaurant at the golf course was Grace Bell (left), who posed after being named the winner with a cutout of film icon Marilyn Monroe and fellow club member Clarisse Woods. See related photo, page 15.
A farmer’s market in the heart of Stittsville is getting closer to reality. According to Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, at this point a farmer’s market at Village Square Park is expected to open “toward the end of June.” “The market will be operated by Ottawa Farmers’ Markets as they have expressed an interested in expanding their markets in the city and would work with local farmers and residents in the operation of a market in Stittsville,” Qadri said. “ The idea of a Farmers’ Market in Stittsville has been raised in the past and there have been some markets in the past in the community,” he said. “The suggestion of Village Square Park as a location came forward when the Ottawa Farmers’ Market approached me with the idea to operate a market in this location. I am very pleased with this proposal and look forward to the market making its roots in Stittsville.” Vendors or volunteers who want to get involved are asked to go to http://ottawafarmersmarket.ca/about/become-a-vendor/ for more information and possible volunteers can go to ottawafarmersmarket.ca/get-involve/. Qadri said of the Village Park location for a farmer’s market at the corner of Abbott St. and Stittsville Main St., “I believe it is a great use of venue and results should be fruitful.”

Online photo album will showcase Canadian pride in Stittsville community Coun. calls on residents to send him Canadian-themed photos BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is never shy to extol the virtues on living in Stittsville, nor the virtues of being Canadian when he speaks at public events. With the days quickly dwindling in the countdown until Canada Day July 1, which will mark the nation’s 150th birthday, Qadri is busy distributing Canadian flags to Stittsville residents who want to show their pride in their country by flying the flag, and also setting up on online photo album that will showcase the community’s pride in being part of the larger Canadian community.
“This year, I am inviting all of Stittsville to send me their Canadian themed photos, including photos of their Canadian Tulips. As I receive them, I will be showcasing them in my online album at https:// shadqadri.com/fly-our-flag/,” Qadri says. The councillor says that the photos submitted for the online album can feature anything, anyone, or anywhere, but they should integrate Canada’s colours and symbols into the images. “This past winter, I already received some wonderful images of snow-shovelled maple leaves, Canadian flag-themed Christmas trees, Canada 150 snow forts and snowmen,” he says.
Those who want to get some paper Canadian flags can access those at Qadri’s ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. His office also has some commemorative Ottawa 2017 flags that are also available, but there is a limited supply and those are available only while supplies last. “The Canadian flag is one of (the) few that features a living entity such as the Maple Leaf. To me, that is the country of Canada and the community of Stittsville – a living and growing community that takes pride in its spirit,” Qadri says. “Take this opportunity to be a part of something great. Fly our flag with pride and let’s be a part of something great.”

A trillium by any other name
C
hanging parties in politics usually does not work out too well. There are a few exceptions, such as former Liberal MP and NDP provincial premier Bob Rae, but normally switching parties as an elected politician is a prescription for defeat and political oblivion in the ensuing election. So, it will be interesting to follow the happenings in the new Kanata-Carleton provincial riding in next year’s election and see if former Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren, now a member of the new Trillium Party, will be re-elected or not. His participation in the election for the Trillium Party should have an impact on the PC vote in the riding. Whether he will be re-elected, just split the Tory vote, or have minimal impact remains to be seen. The new Kanata-Carleton riding is more urban than the existing Carleton-Mississippi Mills and this may reduce conservative strength somewhat, with or without MacLaren’s ejection from the PC caucus and his switch to the ultra-conservative Trillium Party. The Liberals may seize this opportunity of discord among conservative forces to run a strong candidate who
might just sneak into office thanks to a vote split in the right-of-centre ranks. Some insight might be found from the name of MacLaren’s new party affiliation, the Trillium Party. Trilliums — specifically, white trilliums — have been the official flower for Ontario since 1937. If grown from seed, it takes a trillium up to two years just for the seed to germinate and then takes another five to seven years for the plant to bloom. In other words, it is a long process and very similar, we would suggest, to the future of the new party. If the Trillium Party were to “germinate” in two years and were to “bloom” in only five to seven years, we would rank that as an amazing political story. It is also known that if the leaves and flower of a trillium are picked, the plant will die as it will lack any means to produce the energy needed to survive the cold blasts of winter. If MacLaren fails to win for the Trillium Party in the upcoming election, the party may die just like a picked trillium, lacking the means to produce the energy needed to survive the blasts of the political weather in this province. MacLaren’s decision to switch parties is a story that promises an interesting ending come election season.
Canada’s birthday plans big on show, not substance
L
ast week I was leaving a Blue Jays game in Toronto. The home town had won and everyone was happy — except for the homeless men whom we encountered at intervals, sitting on the pavement with their empty paper cups in front of them, hoping for the best. It’s not a perfect metaphor, but something about the scene made me think of our upcoming 150th birthday celebrations. There is going to be a considerable amount of noise, a few royals around, cheery speeches — but not much of that energy is being harnessed to improve the lives of people who need help. This may be why I detect a distinct lack of enthusiasm about the whole thing. Politicians and officials are smiling away and making pronouncements about how great it’s going to be. But ordinary people are yawning,
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town just wanting to get on with summer. And some of them, like me, wonder if that sesquicentennial money could be better spent. Locally, it will be nice to see the National Arts Centre unveil its new look and the new Canadian history hall at the Museum of History. But those probably would have happened without the sesquicentennial. Otherwise, Canada Day will probably feel like most other Canada Days, except in Toronto where the provincial government is spending $120,000 to bring a gigantic American rubber duckie to its waterfront. There will be other events, other
projects, some even more worthwhile than gigantic rubber duckies, but my guess is that this is not, unlike 1967, going to be a year we will look back upon with nostalgia. Several things made 1967. For one, the federal government was not just going through the motions. Unlike today, it was not afraid to spend. So tons of government money was committed, all over the country, to things that mattered. It felt like every community in the country was getting a new concert hall, a new arena, a new library. For another thing, there was an optimism, an idealism in the country that was different from what we have now. Expo 67 made us proud and attracted world attention, which made us prouder. Despite the Cold War and the spectre of Vietnam, despite the growing signs of separatism at home, Canadians were confident

about the future, eager to make it better. It doesn’t seem that way now. Although the world was a perilous place in 1967, different kinds of peril face us now. Recent events, particularly to the south of us, have created an uncertainty that may make us less inclined to party. And less inclined to take on the big projects that would really make life better for Canadians — not to mention the less fortunate of the world, to whom we have been paying less and less attention. To go back to those unfortunate souls at the beginning of this column, few of our political parties campaign on getting rid of homelessness and poverty. They talk about making things less difficult for the middle class. That’s a far cry from idealism. To take another important topic, there have been some bold words EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Brian Dryden 613-221-6162 brian.dryden@metroland.com
about climate change, probably the defining issue of our age, but few bold steps. This year, the 150th, would have been a good year for some of that. Instead we get fireworks and rubber duckies.

Trustees get first look at proposed budget
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire is the old adage. But also where there’s smoke, there could be an unattended pot on a stove causing smoke. That’s what was the case at a home on Owlshead Road in Munster on Tuesday, May 30. The Ottawa Fire Services received a 911 call just after 9 p.m. reporting a haze at a single home on Owlshead Road with alarms ringing.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they spoke to residents passing by the home who also reported an odour of smoke and alarms sounding in the home. The firefighters declared a working fire at 9:21 p.m. Upon gaining entry to the home, the firefighters discovered that a pot on the stove had caused the smoke and resulting alarms. However, there was no ongoing fire. Firefighters declared the end of the fire emergency at 9:23 p.m.

Pot that is smoking on stove brings firefighter response
TIMELINE The board has held a meeting for public delegations and committee questions and there will be a meeting on June 12 for the start of debate. Budget debate would continue on June 19, if required, and the recommendation would be made to the board. The budget is scheduled for approval on June 26.
CARRIER OF THE MONTH
After closing several schools in the public school board, the savings didn’t quite add up for some trustees as they got their first look at the proposed budget. Staff estimates the money saved from the closures will be $1.2 million. Reduced funding from the province means the number is actually half what was achieved by the closures. The figure was presented on May 30 during a presentation of the proposed budget of $928.1 million for the 20172018 school year. This year it will cost the board about $200,000 to keep the buildings secure and maintained before they are disposed of. The savings were also hampered by increased transportation costs: providing passes to students transferring to Gloucester High, as well as the increased price of OC Transpo passes, inflation and increased demand for small and large buses. All told, transportation costs will increase by $2.2 million, though some of it is offset by related revenue. “I think we’re going to have to justify that,” said Theresa Kavanagh, trustee for the Bay zone, who added busing costs were just one of the concerns highlighted by parents through the accommodation review process. “That’s a big jump.” Chief financial officer Mike Carson reminded trustees that cost savings are not the primary reason for completing accommodation reviews — the primary goal is to give students more programs and more opportunities at the right number of schools. “The dollars and cents by itself do not drive that,” he said. But when Jennifer Adams, director of education and secretary of the board, mentioned an investment of $700,000 for mobile technology was a “very tiny amount of money” or a drop in the bucket, Rideau-Vanier/ Capital trustee Shawn Menard took aim. The savings “turns out to be relatively low in the grand scheme of things if $700,000 is a drop in the bucket, we are talking about two or
three drops in the bucket,” he said. “So it’s important to keep in mind with school closures, how little effect this has on our budget overall.” Chair Shirley Seward said, “We all know the reasons for these reviews. The learning objective is a key reason and also the financial objectives for doing this. The fact is that we are actually losing money from the province for top-up funding.” With all the time spent on accommodation reviews, she asked staff if selling off the buildings or disposing of them more quickly could be a priority so that the board could see the full picture of realized savings. “I love playing monopoly and I understand the importance of keeping properties, but we are in difficult times and I’d rather see finances come from that reinvested in our schools,” she said. DOLLARS AND CENTS If not for some extra provincial funds, the Ottawa-Carleton School Board’s budget could have looked a lot worse. That’s the message Carson delivered to trustees. “This budget was not as difficult as the last two to three years,” he said as he delivered some opening remarks. That’s thanks to $6.7 million in local priorities funding, which allowed the board to hire 87 staff. The two-year funding is for enhancements in special education staffing, or to maintain or enhance staffing in office support, custodial and maintenance groups. “Because of that, this is less of a bad-news document than it might otherwise have been,” he said. The board will receive increased funding to support smaller class sizes in full-day kindergarten and grades 4 to 8 and more cash to support facility renewal, school improvement and greenhouse gas reductions. Originally, the board was looking to cut $8.8 million from the budget — that number was later reduced to $4.6 million. In late March, the board approved its staffing for the school year, committing about 60 per cent of the board’s budget for academic staffing, say budget documents.

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, directed by Robert Dueck of Stittsville (left, front, facing the chorus) sings in the Kanata-Carleton Cultural Festival in Kanata on May 27.
Ladies Chorus in Festival SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus sang a number of Canadian songs in its performance at the Kanata-Carleton Cultural Festival on Saturday, May 27. The Ladies Chorus filled its 20-minute performance time at the festival with songs such as Canadian Boat Song by Mark Sirett of Kingston, Lifting of the Mist by Jeff Smallman of Brampton with its poem text from poet E. Pauline Johnson, I’se the B’y by Nancy Telfer of Lindsay and Donkey Riding by Paul A. Aitken. For this performance, the Ladies Chorus was accompanied by Eliana Kurilov rather than its
regular accompanist Peter Brown who had another booking that day. Kurilov, though, is no stranger to the Ladies Chorus as she was the group’s regular accompanist before Peter. This performance marked the second last performance of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus in its spring 2017 schedule. The Ladies Chorus concluded its spring performances as guest performers at the Town Singers spring concert in Carleton Place on June 4 and 6. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is always looking for new members. If you are interested in joining the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, please contact music director Robert Dueck via email at ladieschorus@bell.net.

She received a 2017 Student Recognition Award which was presented at a special ceremony. The award celebrates excellence in student leadership.

Emma Kinkade has grown into a positive confident grade 12 student at South Carleton. She has overcome personal challenges and used those experiences to strengthen her commitment to succeed in her endeavours. She is described as having a strong work ethic, incredible patience and a willingness to help classmates. As a peer tutor, she has helped others succeed. At her co-operative education placements at Richmond Public School, she supported different teachers in various classroom settings. Indeed, she continues to volunteer at the school due to her love of children and her genuine enthusiasm for learning. Emma balances her full-time day school with co-op at night school, employment and playing hockey. “Emma is a tenacious, hardworking student who will succeed at whatever she does; she is truly a success story!” is how she was described in the 2017 Student Recognition Award booklet. Also honoured with a 2017 Student Recognition Award was Danyon Veenstra, a student at the Frederick Banting Secondary Alternate Program in Stittsville. Danyon, who spent his early childhood in Kenya, has had a difficult life but he has found beauty and joy in the faces of the young children that he has met while volunteering. Danyon believes that these children have taught him empathy and gratitude as many of them have severe disabilities and yet they have found a way to be happy. Danyon believes that by helping others, he also will learn. He has a way of turning challenges

Emma Kinkade, a South Carleton High School student (centre), who is flanked by Ottawa Carleton District School Board Director of Education Jennifer Adams (left) and trustee Lynn Scott (right) was presented with a Student Recognition Award during a ceremony at the Centurion Conference Centre on May 18. into learning opportunities. His positive attitude toward studying allowed him to encourage his peers not to give up when things got difficult. Danyon willingly shares his love of wildlife and animals with his classmates. He will probably also help others throughout his life. In her remarks in the awards booklet, Ottawa Carleton District School Board Director of Education Jennifer Adams calls recipients “school leaders” who have faced challenges and have overcome adversity. “Their resiliency has made them peer leaders and community activists,” she writes in her message. “They have made sandwiches for Ottawa’s homeless people, they raised funds to promote literacy in Africa and have baked, walked, danced and ran to increase cancer research awareness.” She writes that the recipients have used innovative and creative ideas to find solutions, encourage inclusion, celebrate cultural differences and showcase the power of positive thinking.” Ottawa Carleton Board of Education Chair Shirley Seward praises the recipients for their impressive record of achievement. “Individually and collectively they have motivated their peers and the greater community to help promote a positive school climate,” she writes. “They have generated thousands of dollars for local, national and international charities; they have modelled resilience, good citizenship and good character. They have been leaders among leaders.”

With June comes Wild Parsnip. If you have been driving around rural Ottawa over the last week, you will have likely noticed small signs with red dots and green dots along roadsides. These signs are part of the City of Ottawa’s wild parsnip spraying program. Since 2015, we have taken a more aggressive approach with managing wild parsnip in the most affected areas. Through increased ditch cutting and spraying of a specific broad leaf herbicide, our efforts have proven effective. The red dot signs indicate to the contractor that a resident has opted out of the spraying program. The green dot tells the contractor when they can restart. However, property owners who have opted out of the spraying program should still consider their role in managing wild parsnip. As soon as the invasive weed goes to seed, it spreads. By keeping the ditches mowed in areas that aren’t being sprayed, it will prevent the plant from growing and spreading. Therefore, even if you’ve requested that there be no spraying in front of your property, I would strongly encourage you to help control the spread of wild parsnip by keeping those areas mowed. For more information on wild parsnip, please visit www.rideaugoulbourn.ca/wildparsnip. Farm Grant Program The City of Ottawa Farm Grant Program provides financial relief to working farmers. The grant program will assist eligible farm property owners by allowing the June final tax instalment to be paid in December. To qualify for the grant, the following conditions must be met: • The property must be defined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation in the farmlands property class • The property must not be owned by a commercial enterprise • Taxes have been paid up to date before the June instalment • The final tax instalment billed (mailed May) is paid in full in early December How the program will work: • Penalty charges will continue • Notification of the amount to be paid will be communicated to you in the fall • The grant amount will be the equivalent of the penalty charges and fees added to your account during the deferral • The City will automatically calculate and apply a credit for the grant amount to your tax account; there is no application to fill out Should you have any questions, please contact Revenue Branch from Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm at 613-580-2444. TTY: 613-580-2401. Property Tax Deferral Programs The City of Ottawa offers two property tax deferral programs for low-income seniors and low-income people with disabilities. Eligible homeowners may apply for a full or partial deferral of annual property taxes. Application for tax deferral must be made annually to the City of Ottawa to establish eligibility or confirm continued eligibility. You may apply for one of the following programs: Full Property Tax Deferral Program or Partial Property Tax Deferral Program. For more information, visit ottawa.ca or call 613- 580-2740.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
June 8, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville Farmer’s Market Update I am happy to share that Village Square Park located at Abbott Street and Stittsville Main Street is in the process of acquiring a Farmer’s Market. The market will be operated by Ottawa Farmers’ Markets as they have expressed an interested in expanding their markets in the City and would work with local farmers and residents in the operation of a market in Stittsville. The idea of a Farmers’ Market in Stittsville has been raised in the past and there have been some markets in the past in the community. The suggestion of Village Square Park as a location came forward when the Ottawa Farmers’ Market approached me with the idea to operate a market in this location. I am very pleased with this proposal and look forward to market making its roots in Stittsville.

Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: a Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components; and a Master Transportation Study (MTS) to provide the street network;. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA. Approval of the CDP and subsequent development applications under the Planning Act will be supported by the EMP, MSS and MTS. The purpose of the OPA and Secondary Plan is to provide policies that implement the land use components of the Mer Bleue UEA CDP. The main effects of the proposed OPA are to: (1) change the land use designation in Schedule B from Developing Community (Expansion Area) to General Urban Area; (2) designate McKinnon’s Creek and a significant woodlot as Urban Natural Features; (3) update various schedules to reflect the expansion of transportation facilities within the CDP area; (4) update the natural heritage system feature. The effect of the Secondary Plan is to provide the planning framework and policies that are required to implement area’s vision with future development applications or public works. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, go to Ottawa.ca/merbleuecdp or to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-17-0006 in the “Search” criteria. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or e-mail by June 20, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

RETIREMENT OF DR. LUCY AND DR. ROD RABB

CANADA DAY ROAD RACES PRESENTED BY
Richmond and area and how they did it than the names Dr. Lucy and Dr. Rod, because they provided personal service on a continuing basis. To their patients, they were Dr. Lucy and Dr. Rod — they were trusted friends and confidants — they were family. Dr. Lucy retired last September, just after Dr. Rod had retired. Both are in good health but both were suffering from mobility challenges. Lucy, for instance, has had knee and hip replacements and suffers from arthritis. She had wanted to retire for a number of years but continued to practice. Dr. Rod did not want to retire and abandon his patients. But it all worked out as an arrangement was worked out with a new group of doctors taking over and using the Rabb medical building as temporary headquarters until a new medical centre, now in the works, is built in the village. But it is not surprising that both Dr. Rod and Dr. Lucy took such a personal approach as doctors. Dr. Rod came from a medical family, with his father being a doctor in Fort Coulonge and an uncle also being a doctor. As a family doctor, his father had his office in the family home and so the future Dr. Rod had lots of opportunity to see him at work, even going on house calls with him. In addition, Dr. Rod’s father became the public health officer for Pontiac County and would hold clinics around the county, many times with young Dr. Rod in tow. When Dr. Rod went off to the University of Ottawa, he debated between engineering and
medicine. He tried engineering but after one year switched, entering medicine. Dr. Lucy grew up in Ottawa. She recalls that she had decided to become a doctor when she was just three years old. In kindergarten, she told her teachers that she was going to be a doctor. See DR. LUCY, page 17

Dr. Rod and Dr. Lucy Rabb have retired after operating their medical practice in Richmond since 1969.

Dr. Lucy and Dr. Rod met at university Continued from page 16
She had had diphtheria when she was just 19 months old and had been sick a lot as a child, so she was always visiting a doctor’s office. Of course, at that time, some still thought that women could not be doctors, but this would be a feeling that would energize Dr. Lucy rather than discourage her. There were only 12 girls in her first year university medical class, five of whom failed in that first year. But she was one of the five who continued, graduating in 1965. Later in her career, when she was investigating becoming a coroner, Lucy ran into a similar anti-feminist attitude which she similarly brushed aside. Dr. Lucy and Dr. Rod met in the registration lineup at the University of Ottawa, introduced by one of Lucy’s friends. Rod wanted to buy some books from Lucy. On that very day, Lucy’s friend told Lucy that Rod was the man Lucy was going to marry. And marry, they did. Lucy graduated on May 30, 1965 and on June 26, 1965, she and Rod were married, although Rod was still in school due to his initial fling with engineering. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2015. Incidentally, Rod and Lucy had both been born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, just months apart. And later, they both trained and worked at the same hospital. After Rod graduated in 1967 and Lucy was working at the Grace Hospital, Rod interned at the Civic and was involved with the health unit, which held baby clinics in small communities around Ottawa including Richmond.

time he came to Richmond, he was urged to practice in the community. Rod had wanted to be a family doctor in a small town, not a hospital doctor. He could not return to his hometown of Fort Coulonge because of a French language requirement in Quebec. He and Lucy had been considering setting up in Pembroke, but things developed in Richmond, with Rod being told about two possible building lots in a new subdivision in Richmond. They eventually chose a corner lot where they still live to this day, deciding to set up their practice in Richmond. The split-level house was built on the vacant lot with their medical office in the basement. It was 1969 and, in fact, they moved in the day after the moon landing on July 20 that year. They would operate their practice from their home office for five years before relocating to the Richmond Plaza’s medical building and then, in about 1980, to their Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre site across the street from the plaza. On the day that they moved in, with everything all over the place, they received a call from Dr. Wilson in Manotick, asking them to cover for him for a month. Nothing like jumping into a situation with both feet! And they were busy right from the start, Dr. Wilson or no Dr. Wilson. Indeed, Rod recalls that it was at 7 a.m. on the morning after they had moved in that there was a knock on the door. There was a patient in a car who needed help. See DR. ROD RABB, page 18

So, after a hunt among the clutter of the new home, proper medications were found and the woman in the car was looked after. Lucy says that it was “busy, busy” in these early years, with Rod agreeing that it was “busy right from day one.” After operating out of their home at the corner of Fortune Street and Ottawa Street for
about five years, they were enticed to relocate to the Richmond Plaza’s new medical building which also had a dentist and pharmacy.

It eventually grew to include 10 to 12 doctors in the area. Later, the Queensway Carleton Hospital set up a larger call system which included about 30 doctors spelling each other on weekends.

Dr. Lucy retained her hospital privileges at the Grace Hospital until it closed in 1999 while Dr. Rod also had privileges at the Queensway Carleton and the Civic. Besides being a doctor, Dr. Rod became a volunteer firefighter in Richmond, joining in 1971 and serving for 39 years until he retired in 2009, being presented with his firefighter’s helmet as well as a commemorative plaque. When the Rabbs moved to Richmond, fires were announced by a siren at the fire hall which could be heard throughout the village. Dr. Rod started going to the fires, just to view them. Then he figured since he was going to the fires, he might as well join the volunteer firefighters and that’s what he did. He particularly enjoyed the camaraderie and socializing that the firefighters experienced as well as helping in firefighting. Dr. Rod’s involvement with the firefighters worked out well, because he could always rush away from the office when a fire call happened, with Dr. Lucy able to take over his patients in the office. Before the construction of the new Richmond fire hall in 1993, Dr. Rod housed the tanker truck at his office site. Along with son Mark who was right on site as well at the Rabb Construction office, they would zoom off together in the tanker truck. Dr. Rod says that he had a lot of fun being a volunteer firefighter in the village. He also has his own fire truck. After he joined the volunteer firefighters, he purchased a fire truck from Kirkland Lake. He drove it in parades but eventually sold it. See DR. LUCY RABB, page 19
Dr. Lucy Rabb has served as a coroner Continued from page 18
He then purchased a 1955 ladder truck from Smiths Falls, which he still has stored away. He says that it was fun to drive a fire truck and show it in parades but admitted that he did not have the time to do it when he was working. He also has had antique cars but he has not driven them lately. They too are in storage as he admits that his mobility challenges mean that he cannot even get into them now. He says that these antique vehicles were not made for larger people like himself. While Dr. Rod joined the volunteer firefighters and collected antique vehicles, either a fire truck or car, Dr. Lucy kept busy, not only as a doctor but also as a coroner. Being a family doctor was good, but specialists were taking over more and more. Lucy thought that she might become a coroner for the area and when she was told by another doctor that would not be possible because she was a woman, you can guess what the result was. She applied and got the part-time job. That meant that she had lots of days where she would deliver a baby, go on a coroner’s call and then return to the delivery room for another baby delivery. There are a number of coroners who cover the area from Rockland to Arnprior. A coroner is called out when there is a sudden or unexpected death. This includes accidental deaths. Dr. Lucy says being a coroner helped her be a better doctor because part of a coroner’s job is to read the medical chart of a deceased person in hospital and assess whether the doctor did a proper job. This helped her learn a lot about medical procedures and practices. A coroner can also call an inquest, a role which requires additional training which Lucy received. An inquest can be called for any number of reasons including concerns about the medical treatment received.
Dr. Lucy ended up serving as a coroner in the area for about 25 years. She retired from the position because of growing mobility challenges. As a coroner, she at times had to crawl down into a ditch for an accident or had to perform some similar feat of agility. Dr. Lucy was instrumental in the creation and work of the Richmond Refugee Relief Fund in the late 1970s. She had organized a meeting of clergy in Richmond to discuss supporting a refugee family, part of the so-called Project 4000 with which then-Ottawa mayor Marion Dewar was involved as she challenged the community to sponsor 4,000 Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian refugees. There were a lot of fundraising activities held with a large family eventually coming to Canada. Dr. Lucy and Dr. Rod are still in contact with this family, with all of its members now doing well and being outstanding residents in Canada. Dr. Lucy was also involved with a Heal the Children Canada project which brought Korean youngsters to Canada for heart operations. Operations were done at the Heart Institute in Ottawa, with the local group including Dr. Lucy and Ruth Cameron of Richmond raising funds to pay for the hospital bills. Drs. Rod and Lucy have three children and five grandchildren. Rick and Mark Rabb are involved with Rabb Construction, a business which they started and grew themselves. Indeed, Rick bought his first backhoe when he was only 13 years old. More equipment was added over the ensuing years including an old road grader which was purchased at auction. After it was purchased, it had to be driven to Richmond, but no one knew how to drive such a grader which can be a challenge because of the way its wheels can slant. See OPEN HOUSE, page 21

there are various medical specialties today, general practitioners or family doctors are still essential as they know a little bit about a lot of things. In retirement, Dr. Lucy is still keeping busy, such as recently serving as the executor of an estate while also supporting a shelter for battered women and providing Christmas gifts for those at the Royal Ottawa. She has enjoyed gardening over the years, although she finds that her mobility now prevents her from pursing this pastime. She does have an idea which she thinks would be great for Lee Valley to pursue, namely the development of a seat which goes up and down which would allow a gardener to easily get up after doing some weeding. But whether this will ever become a reality is uncertain. Dr. Lucy did have one memorable gardening experience. She was using a small torch-like instrument to remove weeds growing between interlocking stones. Well, as luck would have it, the fire spread to the cedar hedge, wiping out 20 feet of the hedge. For Dr. Rod, his plans for retirement are to complete jobs that have been waiting to be done for the past 45 or 50 years. They will be continuing to live in their same house but unfortunately will not be travelling to Las Vegas, which they have visited numerous times over the years.

Rick, though, took up the challenge and drove it home to Richmond, albeit with Dr. Rod and Dr. Lucy driving in front and behind the vehicle for protection. Dr. Rod credits the influence of the late Stuart Nixon in making Rick and Mark Rabb so familiar with equipment and other skills. He said that Stuart used to let kids like Mark and Rick do all kinds of things at his place from gathering eggs to loading and bailing hay to working with tractors and wagons. No wonder Rick could drive a grader on his first try. In addition, next door neighbour Gord Campbell, a mechanic, spent hours with Mark and Rick, working on equipment. They learned from him. Daughter Cobe took outdoor education at Lakehead University with plans to open a resort as she loves the outdoors, particularly dog sledding. But she saw a need to be a cook as well and followed that path, although she is now also studying to be an accountant. Drs. Lucy and Rod both acknowledge the ongoing need of doctors to keep upto-date on medical advances and on new medications. This involves attending medical education meetings, keeping current on the medical literature and learning about new medications from drug company representatives. If you don’t keep up, you could get behind quickly, Dr. Lucy says. Drs. Rod and Lucy believe in the benefit of the continuity of care by a doctor for a patient and the “continuity of relationships,” as Dr. Lucy puts it. Dr. Rod emphasizes that the role of a family doctor is still an essential part of the health care system. Dr. Lucy says that while

ning performance of two plays, La Force de L’Imagination and the musical Grease, albeit with a new spin on it. Students involved with the school’s Les Bordeliques theatre troupe had been preparing for months to present these two plays, meeting twice a week under the direction of teachers Stephanie Desbiens, Corinne Chaperon and Priscilla McLeod.
La Force de L’Imagination was a drama narrated by two white-coated scientists examining what happens in the brain, witnessing the example of young writer Martin who was suffering from a writer’s block as he had a project to do. A parade of characters pass through his imagination in the play. See TWO PLAYS, page 25

Following an intermission during which the sets were changed in this foyer theatre area, the musical Grease, albeit with a different twist, was presented, complete with songs like “Summer Nights” from the original musical. Actors in this presentation of Grease included Catherine Arpin as Sandy Olsen; Dominic Dumond as Danny Zucco; Emilie Dumond as Betty Rizzo; Ethan Dolbec as Kennickie; Caterina Bossy as Doodie; Anne Marcus as Putzie; Sissily Marchand as Sonny; Eva MacCharles as Frenchy; Kaitlyn Craig as Marty; Chloe Meeds as Jan; Isabelle Hebert as Principal McGee; Corinne Hoang as Vince Fortaine; Kailynne Mapp Nadeau as Coach Calloune; Carolynn Guilbault as Blanche; Mira Kayrala as Patty Simcox; Sarah Coady as Tom Chisum; Madison Armstrong as La

Elias Touati, Justin d’Entremont and Valerie Hamilton performed as Johny Casino and The Gamblers. Grease, a 1971 musical, had a 3,388 performance run on Broadway, ending in 1980. This was the longest run on Broadway up until that time. It went on to become a successful film and has two popular revivals on Broadway, one in 1994 and another in 2007.

The Stairwell Carollers, one of the area’s top choral a cappella singing groups, will be singing in Stittsville on Saturday, June 17. The group, under the direction of its founding and still current director Pierre Massie, will be presenting an afternoon free-will concert at Stittsville United Church on Saturday, June 17 at 2:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. The concert will feature a variety of madrigals, masses, motets and modern pieces, ranging from Renaissance to contemporary. The concert will offer a program of sacred and secular choral music from all eras. Among the highlights are bound to be the Missa Brevis by Lotti, which is the Stairwell Carollers' most viewed sacred work on YouTube, as well as Faure’s Cantique de Jean Racine, Lauridsen’s Contre qui Rose, Whittacre’s Sleep and a number of others. There will be pieces in Italian, English, Latin, French, German and Spanish. The concert will also include an original work, Qui Creavit Celum, by the Stairwell Carollers' director, Pierre Massie. This concert is being held as a fundraiser for the Stairwell Carollers to help the group celebrate its 40th year of singing in the national capital area by holding a number of special events. The Stairwell Carollers has several special events, workshops and other initiatives planned to celebrate this milestone 40th anniversary year that begins this fall. The group has applied for several grants but has not been successful and so it has begun to fundraise to

make these 40th anniversary events and projects come to life. This June 17 concert in Stittsville is one of these fundraising initiatives. All of the free-will offerings given at this concert will go toward making these 40th anniversary initiatives a reality. The Stairwell Carollers started in 1977, quite literally singing Christmas carols in the stairwells of residences at the University of Ottawa during exam time, attracting the attention of students who would emerge from studying in their rooms to listen to the carols. The group would go to various locations to perform their impromptu singing. It was at the Bayshore Shopping Centre where they got a big break and, indeed, where they got their name. While they were singing there, radio station CFRA was holding its Christmas Cheer broadcast. CFRA radio personality Gord Atkinson was alerted to the choir’s music by his wife Elaine and the group was subsequently asked to perform on the radio. Just before they were to go on air, Gord asked what the group’s name was. Well, at that time, they had no name but the name “Stairwell Carollers” was blurted out and it has been the group’s name ever since. The Stairwell Carollers are now about to mark its 40th anniversary year. Gord and Elaine Atkinson now live in Stittsville and for the past couple of years have attended what has become the Stairwell Carollers annual Christmas concert performance at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Each year the Stairwell Carollers donates the proceeds from the group’s Christmas concerts to a charity. Since 1987, these donations have totalled $131,319. For its 2016 Christmas concerts, the group donated $2,000 to the Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. The Stairwell Carollers placed first in provincial choral competitions in both 2010 and 2013, reflective of the group’s superlative a cappella singing. Their repertoire includes both sacred and secular songs as well as unique interpretations of traditional Christmas carols in a number of languages. The Stairwell Carollers have produced a number of CDs of their music.

Relay for Life raises over $15,000 BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
The fight against cancer has gotten a helping hand from Sacred Heart High School students. The help came in the form of the school’s third annual Relay for Life event, which was held on the grounds at the Oz Dome off Carp Road last Friday, June 2. The fundraising goal for this year’s Relay for Life was $15,000, which is raised through fundraising events held throughout the school year as well as pledges by the 170 participants who take part in the actual event. Participating in teams, students walk around the outside of the soccer field at the Oz Dome complex. One team member must be walking at all times during the
relay, which takes place from noon to midnight. This year, the fundraising total at the end of the Relay for Life was $13,702, and subsequent donations have pushed the fundraising goal over its $15,000 target. Besides walking in the Relay for Life, the participating students take part in a number of activities during the event, including a frozen T-shirt contest, an ice cube toss, yoga, improv games and a photo scavenger hunt. There’s also the luminary ceremony in which lighted luminaries honouring cancer survivors and in memory of those who have lost the battle to cancer line the walking path, glowing in the darkness of the late evening.

Relay for Life participants hear from cancer survivor Continued from page 27
In her remarks at the opening ceremony, principal Alex Belloni told the participants they were making a difference through their actions, working with other Canadians to create a world where no one will fear cancer. She told how her husband is a cancer survivor, having battled the disease 18 years ago in what she described as a painful and difficult journey for the whole family. The opening ceremony also included remarks from Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who praised the students for raising funds and awareness in the community
about cancer. He noted that cancer has touched virtually everyone in some way, saying that the disease needs to be beaten and that Sacred Heart students were taking action toward that goal with this event. Coun. Qadri also takes action to help fight cancer, having his hair shaved each year with the proceeds going toward cancer research. Those at the opening ceremony also heard from Josephine Cybulski, mother of Sacred Heart student Halina Golka, who told about her battle with cancer — which was not one battle, but two. She had first tackled skin
cancer, but in January 2014, she was also diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 47 years old. A marathon runner, she battled the disease. The tumour was removed, but tests showed that the cancer did advance into one of her lymph nodes. This meant four rounds of chemotherapy with the resultant loss of her hair, plus 27 rounds of radiation. She described to the students how radiation burns the skin. “You are one heck of a fireball,” she said about this experience, telling how five little black dots are tattooed on the skin to identify where the radiation should be directed. Her treat-
ments were successful, as she is now back working full time and also participating in fitness boot camps. The Relay for Life kicked off with a survivors lap, with a number of cancer survivors including Cybulski leading the way around the walking route and all of the students following behind. Other survivors included Sacred Heart student Emily Lusignan, who went through a year-long battle against cancer when she was just seven years old; Corynne Adamson, who battled leukemia when she was eight years old, and despite other medical challenges — such as kidney failure
from her chemotherapy treatments — always has a smile on her face; 13-year-old Colin, who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and has since raised over $30,000 for Candlelighters, an organization that helps those battling cancer; and Val, grandmother of Sacred Heart student Caitlin Bauer who headed this year’s Relay for Life organizing team. She is battling lung cancer and travelled from Toronto to be there to support this event. The opening ceremony also included a vocal and keyboard performance by student Elise Adamson, remarks by Cam Wallen from the Canadian Cancer Society, and a welcome from Zahide Sezerman of the Oz Dome. Corporate sponsors for this year’s Relay for Life event included the Oz Dome, Royals Restaurant in Richmond, Sacred Heart High School, Holy Trinity High School, the GAP, The Sweet Room, The Glen Scottish Restaurant and Pub, Gaia Java coffee shop, Giant Tiger, Pro2Col and Pretty Po ts.

Relay for Life described as ‘Night of fun, friendship and fundraising to help beat cancer’ Continued from page 28
This year’s Relay for Life also saw the presence of a participating team of alumni, students who had participated previously and had graduated from Sacred Heart. At the opening ceremony, student organizer Caitlin Bauer noted that the event “is a celebra-
tion of survival, a tribute to the lives of loved ones, and a night of fun, friendship and fundraising to help beat cancer.” She pointed out that cancer is now the leading cause of death in Canada, surpassing even heart disease. Two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, she point-
ed out, adding that an average of 22 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer each hour. More than half of new cancer cases involve lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancer. However, cancer is actually a collection of more than 200 different diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth. That’s why many different
treatments and cures are needed. The Canadian Cancer Society leads in the fight against cancer by funding research on all forms of cancer, providing information on cancer and its treatment, and providing support programs for those living with cancer and their families.

‘Remember’ is word of the day Stittsville Toastmasters Club members created yet another great memory together with the theme ‘the lesson learned the hard way” at its meeting on May 31. Word of the day “Remember” was chosen by Sandra Gloss who also presented the opening thought. It was an exciting evening for Toastmaster Club members because they all received their official name badges by the current president Sandra Gloss and elected president Rick Holloway. Jean Vickers, the newest member of the club, presented her second speech titled “Benefits of being optimistic and it can be learned.” Another speaker Carla Gajdecki is just one speech away from finishing her CC manual. She presented her ninth speech titled, “What do you want from your life.” Monika Jain challenged members to think on their feet. She prepared a list of life lessons and put those in an envelope. She then scrambled the word Toastmaster to come up with a three or four letter word. Members had to pick a topic from the envelope and then Monika gave them a word on the spot and asked them to incorporate it in a two minutes speech. Gina Cook and Maria Pemberton won the glory with a two-way tie and emerged

Sandra Gloss paid very close attention to grammar and interesting phrases and words used by members. Lori Holloway had control of the timer and made sure that the meeting stayed on time. Rick Holloway talked about his first sailboat, Hobie Cat, in his closing thought and sent everyone home with happy memories and a good laugh.

Busy, fun day coming up in Richmond Special to the News
A family fun day, a craft show, an art show, a quilt show, a luncheon and a couple of barbecue’s — that’s what’s happening on Saturday, June 17 in Richmond. The family fun day, organized by the Richmond Village Association (RVA), will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Richmond fairgrounds. There will be a performance by Junkyard Symphony, a talent show, a bouncy castle, games and crafts, face painting, family yoga, Touch A Truck, and balloon animals made by Zany the Clown. And, best of all, it’s all free. For refreshments, there will be a fresh squeezed lemonade truck on site along with an ice cream truck. In addition, the RVA will be holding a barbecue with hamburgers and hotdogs available. There will be a craft show in
the adjacent Richmond arena, featuring an array of crafters, artisans and vendors. Admission is free. The arena will also be the site for the annual art show of the Richmond Village Art Club. Again, there is free admission for this art show. The quilt show is the 15th annual “Quilts in the Garden” show and sale which is being held at the Country Quilter shop and grounds on McBean Street. The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. with over 100 quilts and handmade items to be displayed in the garden area at the shop. In addition, projects created by the shop’s artist-in-residence Heather LeServe of Manotick will be on display. There will also be a used book sale at the quilt show, raising funds for CANHAVE, a charity that provides schooling for orphans in Uganda. And
anyone who makes a minimum donation to CANHAVE will be entered in a draw for a quilt created and quilted by Grace Whiting. Also at this quilt show will be JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service who will be there from 11 a.m. onwards to sharpen anything that needs sharpening. This outdoor quilt show is free to attend. An added bonus is that the ladies of St. Paul’s United Church beside the shop on McBean Street will be providing lunch for just $10 so you can enjoy a delicious sit-down lunch at the church as part of your day’s activities in Richmond. And speaking of food, you can cap off your day’s activities in Richmond by patronizing the Richmond firefighters’ annual chicken barbecue which will be held at the Dining Hall at the fairgrounds, starting at 4 p.m. and going until sold out.

*Dale Parks, the chief custodian at South Carleton High School, was a recent recipient of a Director’s Citation award from the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. *The Richmond TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter was formed in 1984 and continues to meet, currently with 13 members. When it began, the Chapter met at South Carleton High School with a membership in the 25/30 range. The meeting placed was switched to the fire hall but when the Ice Storm of 1998 meant that the space at the fire hall was needed for emergency workers, the meeting place started meeting in the seniors room at the Richmond arena and this has remained its meeting place ever since. *John Curry of The Stittsville News, who wrote a book “Richmond on the Jock” outlining the history of the village of Richmond in 1993 at the time of Richmond’s 175th anniversary, was the guest speaker at a
meeting of the United Church Women at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street on May 31, giving an outline of the book which he is currently writing about the history of Richmond to be published next year at the time of Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations. His presentation included a quiz with questions about Richmond’s history. There was also a draw for a copy of Lowell Green’s new book featuring 150 stories about happenings and people in Canada. *Rev. Carla Van Delen is leaving St. Paul’s United Church to accept a new call at Barrhaven United Church starting on Aug. 14. She recently attended a graduation ceremony at the Haliburton School of Art and Design where she received a certificate in Expressive Arts which she earned when she attended the School during her sabbatical last year. *A tree and bench in memory of Dylan McCarthy were dedicated in a recent ceremony at South Carleton High School in Richmond.

Evelina Albertha Poirier (nee Bakker) 24 November 1935 – 27 May 2017 In loving memory of a dedicated mother, devoted wife, and dependable friend who passed away unexpectedly at home while pursuing her labors of love. Words cannot describe the void you have left in our hearts since your passing. The pain of losing you echoes across the ocean to family on distant shores. Evelina was born in the town of Wolvega in the Netherlands to mother Klaasje Schreur, and father Hendrik Bakker, who were Holstein dairy farmers by profession. She was one of 8 children, and the last remaining member of the original family who immigrated to Canada on November 2, 1951 to escape the ravages of WWII, and the economic hardship that ensued. The family who immigrated included both parents, brothers Jan and Hendrik, and younger twin brothers Roel-Reini & Reini-Roel who were assigned to Evelina’s care, which she accepted with pride and a sense of duty. Left behind in the Netherlands were 3 sisters, Geesje, Minke, and last surviving member Anna. Evelina settled with her family in Prince Edward Island and helped her father and brothers as a farm hand. She left P.E.I in 1955 to pursue work in Ottawa where she began work at the Royal Bank of Canada. She later moved on to a career as a manager at Steinberg grocers, and finally finished her career at the Bank of Nova Scotia as a loans officer. Throughout her working life, she also devoted her time to organizing little league soccer, school fundraisers, and canvassed for charities. Her true love however was carpentry and gardening, which she devoted much of her time to. She was married in September 1966 to Cliff Poirier and they had 2 boys, Rene Poirier, born on September 1, 1969, and deceased on December 20, 2009, and Erik Poirier, born March 24, 1973. She is survived by her husband Cliff Poirier, son Erik Poirier, and sister Anna Bakker A memorial service will be held at the United Church at 6255 Fernbank Rd, in Stittsville, Ontario on Saturday June 10 at 13:00. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Habitat for Humanity, The Ottawa Mission, or The War Amps. “I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me.” —Lisa Goich

Trillium and Bronze shows at Westar SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Westar Farms’ familiar competitions are the Trillium and Bronze Hunter/Jumper weekend shows. The first is slated to run this coming weekend on June 10 and June 11, and then again on July 8 and July 9, with the final Derby Day Bronze show on Sunday, September 17. Bronze shows are regional level and Trillium (silver) is provincial. Both tiers draw horses and riders from as far away as Pembroke, Kingston and Gatineau, with more than 200 horses in attendance on any
given show weekend. Jumping classes are judged on style and technique in the hunter and equitation divisions or speed and agility in the jumper divisions. Riders range in age from eight to 60-plus and there will be ponies as well as horses in the four show rings. Admission is free to all Westar equestrian events. Refreshments are available and many of the shows feature a trade fair of local craftspeople and vendors. Sponsorship plays a big role in being able to offer prize money in many
of the classes and helping to offset the costs of upgrades to the horse show facility. This year, Westar has offered a new means for sponsors to promote their business on the actual show jumps, with their company name or logo on either side of the jumper ring jumps. Many local businesses have either purchased jump signage or donated prize money, and their support is greatly appreciated. The backbone of the horse shows is the band of volunteers — most of them Westar riders and family members, as well as friends and neigh-
bours. They give the events their warm, welcoming feel. More information about the horse shows and equestrian activities that take place at Westar Farms can be found on the website, www.westarfarms.ca; the Westar Facebook page; or by phoning 613-253-0078. Westar Farms is a family-run business located at 8132 Fernbank Rd. in Goulbourn since 1988. Certified instructors and coaches teach beginners to national calibre competitors in either the recreational or competitive stream.

Message with a rap SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It was a message delivered with a difference — wrapped up in a rap. Cam Whalen, who helps with youth Relay for Life events for the Canadian Cancer Society, delivered his message to the students in Sacred Heart High School’s Relay for Life event on June 2 by presenting a rap at the opening ceremony. Presented with appropriate rap sounds, Cam’s Relay Rap went as follows: “Relay day is here at last Participants are amassed Committee members sleep deprived Your smiles their energy revives Teachers proud of your achievements All a sense of great appeasement Expectations are surpassed/ The time to celebrate begun Teams walk/chill/party/play/have fun Later ones we will remember Luminaries lit, hearts engendered After we will party some more Ignore our feet and bodies sore United together as one/ Thank you for your dedication Stamp out cancer from our nation Thank you for saving lives Every day more survive And as you walk around the track Remember why you must fight back ‘Til cancer’s cured we are not done.” Cam told the students that this year, 150 schools in Ontario will raise about $5 million through Relay for Life events. This will involve about 35,000 participants. Since 2002, over 350 schools across Ontario have organized over 1,300 Relay for Life events. This has generated over $36 million in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force … a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus. That’s okay, as this is just a phase.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, while it is important to take care of others, you shouldn’t do so at the expense of your own health and happiness. Give yourself a break this week.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

Sacred Heart’s Nathan Danova plays in top youth tournament SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
For Nathan Danova, a trip to Dallas, Texas, to play in what is recognized as the top youth soccer tournament in North America showed him and his Ottawa South United U17 teammates what needs to be done to reach the next level in soccer. Not that Nathan, a Grade 11 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, and his teammates are not a good team now. The team plays in the provincial Ontario Youth Soccer League, the top club soccer league available. And in this tournament in Dallas last April, the team became the first Canadian team ever in the tournament to move on from the group stage into playoff action. But, in quarter-final action, they met the Mexican Academy team which went on to win the tournament. It was a really good team. For Nathan, he had experienced something similar back when he was 13, when he attended a similar international tournament in France where he played against teams from Europe and elsewhere. He saw the high level of play of teams from countries where soccer was played yearround and was a big part of the their culture, like hockey is in Canada. So, he knew what to expect at the Dallas tournament. It was a repeat
of the France experience, with a high level of play demonstrated by teams such as the Mexican Academy team which plays year-round in Mexico. Nathan himself has been playing soccer since he was four years old, mostly with the Ottawa Fury Academy. This past year, he switched to Ottawa South United, which is well known for its top youth teams. Nathan plays centre back or full back, a position that he has played throughout the years in soccer. He says that he tries to be a good team player, feeling that he excels in directing his teammates from his back position. He likes having the responsibility of organizing his teammates on the field, saying that he always wants to help his teammates in games. The team managed to gain entry to the Dallas tournament and trained during the winter to be ready for the experience. The team was away for 11 days, playing one game a day when involved in the tournament. There was also some time for sightseeing around the city of Dallas. Nathan says that there was a very high calibre of play in the tournament, especially by teams such as the Mexican Academy team, who have so much emphasis on soccer in their culture. See NATHAN HOPES, page 41

Nathan hopes to play soccer at university in the future Continiued from page 40
Nathan’s Ottawa South United team won its three games in the group stage of the tournament, allowing it to move on to the quarter-final playoff round, where it lost to the Mexican Academy team. Nathan observed that every player on the Mexican Academy squad was highly skilled as a player and he admitted that the Mexican Academy team deserved to win the game against the Ottawa South United team. In the future, Nathan would love to play soccer at the university level. After that, he would like to either continue playing or coach, as he wants to continue to be part of the soccer community in later life. Right now, Nathan keeps busy with his Ottawa South United soccer, as well as with his schooling and his job at Extreme Trampoline. In school, he enjoys subjects such as math and business. With Ottawa South United, he trains three or four times a week in the winter months, then five or six times a week in the playing season, as well as playing weekend games.

New play structure officially opened at St. Philip School to sit on and just to have a good time on. This new play structure has replaced an Fun and fitness have gotten a boost in the playground at older, smaller one which had been in the St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond.

Deacon Louis Seward of St. Philip’s Parish read a prayer of blessing for the play structure and then blessed the structure with holy water. This community project was made possible through partnership with the city of SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Ottawa, the Ottawa Catholic School Board and the lead corporate sponsor Graham Family Foundation, along with schoolwide fundraising initiatives spearheaded by the St. Philip Parent Council led by co-chairs Dana Kean and Erica Leveque.

Fundraising included the school’s hot lunch program, a parent trivia night and a
parent curling bonspiel. Students at St. Philip School will now be able to enjoy this play structure for years to come.

Afternoon tea at St. Philip’s hall SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
“God is beauty.” This statement by St. Francis of Assisi inspired the theme for the Catholic Women’s League’s (CWL) Afternoon Tea in the Father Michael Gillissie Hall at Richmond’s St. Philip Church on Saturday, May 27. The hall was decorated in a garden and flower setting associated with St. Francis. The event was modelled on an English “cream” afternoon tea that could be experienced in the United Kingdom. Harp music provided by musicians Lucile Hildesheim and Peter Stuyt graced the event with an elegant ambience. The typical English tea menu, which included cucumber and pinwheel sandwiches, scones and jam, Bakewell tarts and chocolate mousse cups, was available to the guests. Tea was served in a variety of elegant china teacups by student volunteers from Sacred Heart High School. One participant was heard saying, “I did not know what to expect, but this was not only tea, it was an elegant tea experience”. The St. Philip’s Catholic Women’s League would like to thank all the local businesses that sponsored or donated many gift items for the raffle and door prizes, and all the helpers, bakers, donors and lenders of cups, teapots and other dishes for making this first-time fundraising event such a wonderful experience for all who attended. A special thanks to the hard-working and dedicated committee members who are already making plans for next year’s event. Thanks also to the Stittsville News for publicity of the event.

Q: I am a registered massage therapist. I have a spouse who works full time, and I would like to bank much of my earnings for our eventual retirement. My accountant mentioned the idea of incorporating my practice into a professional corporation. How does this work? As a registered massage therapist (and many other professions governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act), you are permitted to incorporate. The Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA) and the Regulated Health Professions Act govern incorporation. Once incorporated, a Certificate of Authorization from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CPSO) is required for your professional corporation to practice massage therapy in Ontario. There may be significant benefits to incorporation arising through the deferral of tax through retention of excess cash and having the corporation make investments. Cash may be withdrawn at a later date during your retirement. Unfortunately, you are not permitted to issue shares to family members (as physicians and dentists are allowed) and thus cannot benefit from tax splitting opportunities with other family members.

About J. Robert Allan
Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988.

His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.
There is a large caveat regarding the tax advantages. If CRA determines that an incorporated individual is in fact really just an employee of the entity she is working for, the corporation would be deemed a Personal Services Business (PSB). A consequence of being a PSB is that the corporation cannot claim the same expenses as a small business and loses eligibility for the small business deduction (that allows income to be taxed at a lower rate). You may be exposed to some element of double taxation. So, the decision to incorporate must be approached with some caution. The determination of whether or not you are a PSB is a question of fact and includes factors such as control of the performance of work, who has ownership of tools, and the chance of profit or risk of loss. Your professional advisor can help guide you to make the determination if incorporation is suitable for you.
