OPINION

It’s good to think big for 150th birthday
I
t’ll be a big day when Canada turns 150. And we should be thankful that the people in charge of the party are thinking big. Subterranean sound and light shows are coming. The list of entertainment options keeps growing. Announcements of new ideas continue week by week, month by month. The folks in charge are not holding back, and we’re lucky to live here in the capital, where the biggest party in the country will take place. Last week saw the announcement of a massive entertainment idea: a giant dragon and a spider that will chill anyone with arachnophobia. The dragon even breathes fire. The giant wildlife will turn some of Ottawa’s streets into art galleries. They’ll be very public galleries; easily accessible to all. That makes it a great idea. Canada’s 150th birthday – to be celebrated throughout 2017 – needs to incorporate as many free events as possible. It’s a Canadian value to share. It will take lots of tax money to put on the party, but we’ll all be able to enjoy the activities,
no matter who we are or where we come from. Anyone who laments the tax spending should consider the organizing committee’s estimate that the party will boost tourism across Canada, all while generating jobs. As well, there are millions of dollars in private funding going towards the nation’s milestone birthday bash. The committee estimates a large economic impact for the city, province and country, projecting it will have more than a $230 million impact on GDP and generate more than 3,000 jobs for the province. The celebrations will stretch throughout 2017, and will take place in cities and towns, spreading the economic impact far and wide. So far the signs from organizers here in Ottawa are promising. Parliament Hill and the streets of this city are excellent venues that ensure everyone can get a look at the shows, the dragons and any spiders on the prowl. “It will change the way people view Ottawa,� said Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme. Ottawans should look forward to more announcements from the committee. The last task? Someone will have to bake a VERY big cake.

et’s count up the things the Internet has brought us since it began impacting our lives, roughly 20 years ago: Scams, online bullying, a vast increase in racist and insulting comments, pornography, hacking of personal, corporate and governmental websites, easier plagiarism, computer viruses, selfies, diminished incomes for writers and musicians, texting while driving, the death of independent bookstores, the impending death of privacy, the possible death of print journalism, and the near-death of attention spans. That may not be a complete list. But we can’t go back. Humans being humans, we never do. That would not be progress. And the Internet has brought us positives as well, such as access to real information, assistance with

health and travel issues, the ability to communicate instantly with friends and family, baseball box scores at any hour of the night and instant answers to trivia questions, such as: who played Ernie and Bert in It’s a Wonderful Life? For many, there is a balance between the pros and cons. After all, it is possible to stay away from many of the evils of the Internet. Just don’t click on stuff. We can communicate with our cousins and decline to communicate with the guy offering to give us a million dollars.
Still, every once in a while comes an event that makes you wonder. This time it’s the grabbing of tickets for the Tragically Hip farewell tour. Many Canadians are fans of the band and are even more involved in this tour because of the incurable brain cancer of its lead singer, Gord Downie. They went through their usual Internet moves as soon as tickets went on sale, only to find that they had been scooped up by scalpers, who then offered them for exorbitant mark-up prices on reseller sites. There has been public outrage, justified. This sort of thing has happened before, but the poignancy of this particular tour has intensified public anger. There are demands for action. People want government to do something. But government has tried. Scalping used to be illegal in

Ontario. There is a newer law that sort of discourages it but doesn’t quite abolish it, as we have seen. How would a law work? Could it eliminate the powerful computer programs that instantly buy up huge blocs of tickets? Could it outlaw ticket resellers, which are now huge corporations? Could it avoid punishing individuals who have legitimate reasons, such as illness, for wanting to resell their tickets? Could it deal with the front-ofthe-line programs that seem to put tickets into the hands of resellers? Or does the answer lie elsewhere? (No, not another public awareness campaign!) Could it lie in individuals declining to act like jerks or declining to help jerks? Such as: don’t buy the scalped tickets; let the scalpers eat the tickets they gobbled up.. Another answer is promoters using their power responsibly. When Ontario’s ticket reselling law was announced about a year ago, Mirvish Productions of Toronto, which

sells more than one million theatre tickets a year, revealed that it does not allow ticket resales. Resold tickets are voided upon detection. That seems both straight-forward and effective. Given the state of public opinion, it’s in the self-interest of promoters to make sure fairness returns to the marketplace.

Dance 4 Wishes Showcase John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Dancers are taking to the stage in Stittsville this Sunday, June 12 to help make a child’s wish come true. That’s because dancers from Stittsville’s Pointe of Grace Dance Company will be taking part in Pointe of Grace’s fourth annual Dance 4 Wishes Showcase at Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville. Pointe of Grace is once again teaming up with Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville for this fundraiser, with the net proceeds from the event going to Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” in support of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario is a nonprofit charitable organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. To date, over the past three years, Pointe of Grace’s Dance 4 Wishes events have raised more than $30,000 in total. These funds have been part of the more than $500,000 which Tysen has raised towards his “Mission To A Million” campaign’s goal of one million dollars. Last April, members of Pointe of Grace’s junior competitive team accompanied Tysen as he revealed to 15 year old Daijah that her wish to go to Vancouver was being granted. The team’s dancers played a role in this reveal, taking part in a flash mob and then unfurling a large banner telling Daijah that her wish was going to come true. Pointe of Grace Dance Company directors Amanda Leroux and Carly Sherwin are proud of their dancers in helping to
raise funds for such an inspirational cause as Tysen’s campaign in support of MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario. “There has been such a strong connection formed between Tysen and our studio,” says Amanda Leroux. “Our dancers love performing and it means so much that they can do this and help grant a wish to a child who really needs it.” She points out that everyone associated with the Pointe of Grace Dance Company including parent volunteers, local businesses which provide donations and, of course, the dancers themselves all look forward to this annual Dance 4 Wishes show. There are more than 120 dancers on the Pointe of Grace competitive dance team, both boys and girls ranging in age from 5 to 17 years of age. In addition to its fulltime competitive team, Pointe of Grace now has a part-time team as well. These teams perform a variety of dance styles including ballet, jazz, hip hop, step dancing, lyrical, contemporary and musical theatre. Pointe of Grace dancers have been practising their routines for months now, spending hours at the Pointe of Grace dance studio on Iber Road in Stittsville, learning and improving their dance routines. The dancers competed in four regional events this past spring and are getting ready to compete in a national event in Atlantic City in July. But right now, all of the dancers are looking forward to showcasing their routines at the Dance 4 Wishes event in Stittsville this Sunday, June 12. This event not only allows the dancers to gain some more experience performing

He has also served as Regional Vicar for various pastoral regions of the English sector of the Archdiocese as well as chaplain of various Catholic groups. He served as Episcopal Victor for the English sector of the Archdiocese from 2008 to 2012, working closely with the Archbishop.

ville. Born in Dunrobin and baptized at St. Isidore Church in South March, Msgr. Muldoon grew up in Almonte where his family had moved when he was about five years old. He lived right beside Holy Name of Mary Church where he would one day be ordained as a priest. He was an altar boy along with his brother. He recalls that right from the time that he was a young child, he wanted to be a priest. This was even before he attended Pius X High School in Ottawa which at that time in the 1960’s was referred to as a Preparatory Seminary. Being from Almonte, he was among the students who boarded at the school. Msgr. Muldoon says that it was the example of his parents who were faithful and dedicated Catholics as well as an aunt who was very religious who helped lead him to his vocation to the priesthood. Another influence was Fr. Len Lunney, the long time principal at Pius X, who also knew his family through Pakenham connections. Following his high schooling at Pius X, Msgr. Muldoon went on to St. Patrick’s College and Carleton University before taking his theological and seminary training at St. Paul University in Ottawa. Msgr. Muldoon readily acknowledges that he has been happy serving in every parish to which he has been assigned during his career. Some have presented challenges at times but he has found that in challenging circumstances, parishioners have risen to the occasion and indeed have seen their faith grow stronger in such times. His one piece of advice to a young priest entering parish work today would be to refrain from making a lot of changes in a parish initially. He said that a priest should first earn the trust of the parishioners before launching any major changes. See RECEPTION, page 11

He notes that there are more demands on the priest today than in the past but also comments that there is more emphasis on lay ministry today which helps a parish priest immensely. He says that when he became a priest in 1976, the changes from Vatican II were still trickling down through the church. For instance, there were no eucharistic ministers at that time whereas now they are commonplace. He likes to see this lay involvement in various ministries in today’s church, noting that it allows people to take ownership of their parish with the priest simply coordinating the various lay ministries. Msgr. Muldoon sees the current Pope Francis as a “breath of fresh air” in the church, praising him for reaching out to people. He says that a challenge at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville is not only the growing size of the parish but also the fact that there are many young families who are leading busy lives with sports and other family activities. Making time for sacramental preparation and Sunday mass can be challenging for such families.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Msgr. Joseph Muldoon has been the parish priest at Holy Spirit Catholic Parish on Shea Road in Stittsville since 2012. He has served in a number of parishes in the Ottawa area since his ordination to the priesthood in 1976.
Msgr. Muldoon finds the schools helpful and he tries to get into the local schools as much as possible, saying that it is good for youth to see the clergy in the schools. He notes that one of Holy Spirit Parish’s visionary goals is to establish a youth ministry to work with youth in the parish. He sees a definite need for this, given the number of students in local schools. Msgr. Muldoon has worked with a youth ministry in a couple of parishes in which he has served. He is now in the fourth year of his six year appointment to Holy Spirit Parish. Now 66 years old, he has no plan to retire soon, noting that the normal retirement age for priests in the Ottawa Archdiocese is 75 years old. He foresees that he may be appointed to another parish in the Archdiocese after 2018. Msgr. Muldoon says that he enjoyed his years as the Episcopal Vicar for the English sector of the Archdiocese, noting that working at the Archdiocesan level is different than parish work. It involved a lot of administration and trouble shooting and while he enjoyed visiting different parishes and meeting people there, he admits that he was happy to return to parish work in 2012. As Episcopal Vicar, there were no baptisms or marriages or funerals to perform, no day-to-day meetings with parishioners and no sacramental preparation for youth. These are part of the daily flow in parish work and he is happy to be back doing them. Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville continues to grow, with probably close to 4,000 families being served today and many more expected as the community grows to a projected 70,000 population in the coming years. That is why Holy Spirit Parish is purchasing a house in the nearby Forest Creek subdivision to have more room to house priests. Msgr. Muldoon is expecting that an additional priest is soon going to be appointed to Holy Spirit Parish as he says that the Archbishop is well aware of the growth facing the parish.
The existing rectory beside the church will be used for office, meeting and storage purposes with the acquisition of the new house. And as for reaching the milestone of 40 years as a priest, Msgr. Muldoon recalls that in his second year as a priest, the pastor that he was working with celebrated the 40th anniversary of his ordination. At the time, Msgr. Muldoon felt that such a milestone was just an amazing achievement and yet he himself has now achieved this 40 year mark. He calls it “God’s grace at work.” A reception honouring Msgr. Muldoon and celebrating the 40th anniversary of his ordination will be held in the parish hall at Holy Spirit Parish on Shea Road in Stittsville following the 5 p.m. mass this Saturday, June 11. The reception will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with everyone welcome to drop by and wish Msgr. Muldoon congratulations on this 40th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.

The city of Ottawa will petition the province to pay for a discounted bus pass for low-income residents. A staff report said a pass discounted at 62 per cent would likely cost the city $3.3 million in lost revenue, and while the city’s transit commission struggled to find ways to afford it, it did agree to ask the province to foot the bill.

between $600,000 and $700,000 per year on costs related to having officers direct traffic during construction or special events. Mayor Jim Watson has been vocal about his stance on the issue, saying that he’d rather see cops and their cruisers fighting crime instead of manning street barricades during parades. When El-Chantiry first introduced the motion at the end of April, Watson said that with scarce dollars and little wiggle room with respect to negotiating police officer salaries, municipalities are going to have to get creative in how police resources are used. Watson has said he plans a trip to Queen’s Park in Toronto to meet with provincial ministers to discuss the issue.

idea one step further. Deans put forward a motion asking the province to include transit in the calculation of basic needs for social assistance programs such as Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program. Deans said even with a discounted pass, low income residents may still not be able to afford the cost of taking a bus. “The transit commission heard many examples of the benefits of residents being able to access transit,” Deans said. The city already offers discount passes for students,
people on disability and seniors. The discounts cost the city $16.3 million annually. A staff report estimated that 8,800 people are considered low income who don’t fall into those categories so they pay full price for their transit passes. More than 40 social service agencies, including the Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count, have expressed support for a low-income pass. OC Transpo is set to release a new fare table next month, as part of the city’s budget process.
Photo radar limited to school zones Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
An attempt by River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington to expand the city’s proposed pilot program for photo radar failed at a recent council meeting. Brockington called the plan to petition the province for a pilot project that would place photo radar in some school zones and allow councillors to request speed limits be decreased from 50 kilometres per hour to 40, a watered-down compromise A compromise was exactly what Mayor Jim Watson was looking for with the plan, which would also direct revenues from photo radar tickets be placed in a special account to be used solely for road safety initiatives. “People are concerned about it being a cash grab, or used as a way to finance the budget,” Watson said. “This way we have a targeted area that we can look at again after the pilot.” Brockington said limiting the pilot project to school zones, doesn’t re-
ally address the issue of student safety. “I have four schools off of Walkley (Road),” Brockington said. “The pilot will be on the residential streets the schools are on, but there isn’t a problem with speeding on those streets.” Capital Ward Coun. David Chernushenko said he has the same problem in his ward – except it’s Bank Street instead. Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said one of his children bikes about 700 metres to school, both in school zones and out. He said that Brockington’s motion was a practical way of respecting the fact that there’s a reluctance to go “whole hog.” College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he worried about the potential for Brockington’s motion to be a gateway to having photo radar on every street. Chiarelli said to change the behaviour of drivers – which is the ultimate goal – the best tool is police presence. The matter is up to the province as the city needs provincial approval to be allowed to utilize photo radar in a pilot project

Carnival time at Holy Spirit School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was carnival time at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville last Friday evening. And what an evening! Warm temperatures and sunshine prevailed, making the location of the carnival in the rear schoolyard at the school on Stittsville Main Street a virtual piece of heaven. More than just the weather, glorious as it was, made this Holy Spirit such a great event. There was a giant inflatable slide that saw a constant stream of youngsters slide down glide down it. Youngsters also flocked to the bouncy castle which was set up for the event. And the school’s play structure also received lots of use during the event. Lots of attraction was centred on a dunk tank, with screams of delight being heard whenever a victim was dunked into the waiting water. The raffle, always a highlight of this annual event, drew lots of interest with items such a bicycle, a basketball, gift baskets of all sorts such as one filled with boxes of cookies and a basket filled with wine bottles were among the items up for grabs for the luck winners. There was a BBQ providing food for those at the JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND event and youngsters also enjoyed candy floss. Chloe King throws the ball as she tries to hit the Music was broadcast across the schoolyard during target to activate the dunk tank at the carnival at the event as parents, friends and neighbours filled JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Friday, the space, chatting with each other in the warm sun- Ashton Rauhala zips down the giant inflated slide at the carnival at June 3.

Jack Rabb had a pair of special visitors at his Richmond home last week. Visiting with him were Queens University Gaels football head coach Pat Sheahan and Gaels offensive coordinator Alex Vertullo who were there to see Jack sign his letter of intent to attend Queens University and to play football for the Gaels this fall. Jack sported a Queens number nine jersey against a backdrop of a Queens university football banner as he signed his letter of intent. Jack, who is graduating from South Carleton High School in Richmond this month, has played community football with the Bell Warriors Football Club and with the Bel-Air Norsemen since he was 12 years of age. With the Warriors, he was a receiver, quarterback, punter and kicker. Last season he played with the Bel-Air Norsemen, the Bell Warriors’ sister club at the Midget level and a team that won the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA) Midget Championship. Head coach of the team was Tony Violante of Stittsville. Paul Stewart of the Bell Warriors, who coached Jack, notes that Jack was great to coach. “He is an immensely positive and cerebral player who competes hard and has a knack of making plays under pressure,” coach Stewart says about Jack. “At six foot, four inches tall, Jack is a hard target to miss on routes,” he adds. “He also has a CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) level leg already and it wouldn’t surprise me if he becomes a standout punter for the Gaels.” Jack Rabb is the 18th Bell Warrior alumni to commit to play CIS university football in Canada or NCAA college football in the United States over the past few years.

‘French Lives Here’ magazine at Sacred Heart ferent learning experience. Entitled “French Lives Here,” the magazine brought together grade seven/eight students with grade 11/12 students as they together produced the magazine. Students
like grade eight student Murilo Pereira wrote stories in French as class assignments which were then edited and laid out Producing a magazine has given Sacred in magazine format by students of a grade Heart High School students a new and dif11/12 class. Photos were added to the stories and the students received help from the real-life “Faces Magazine” in how to format the material for publication. The magazine was printed complete with colour photos and glossy paper, with copies sold at the school for $5 each. Students had designed the title page as well and the magazine received a positive response. Lily Oliver, a grade 12 student who was involved in this magazine project, noted that the students had to read and understand the French stories which were submitted by students. They also had to work out how to format the articles for magazine production. Grade eight student Murilo Pereira says this magazine project was “just a really cool project in French,” saying that while JOHN CURRY/METROLAND it was not like regular classroom learning, Three Sacred Heart Catholic High School students who worked on the “French Lives Here” it was still a learning experience.

Grade12 student Lily Oliver notes that the project brought together senior students in the school with the younger grade seven and eight students who produced the articles. There was collaboration between these students as they worked on the project together. Grade 12 student Taylor Burrell says that producing this magazine was a good addition to the course work for the senior students. Faces Magazine, which helped the Sacred Heart students with formatting and creating the magazine, is an Ottawa monthly publication that is distributed free to over 100,000 readers each month. Faces Magazine is focussed on capturing stories of the people and places that make Ottawa a world class city. It tries to spotlight individuals who have overcome adversity as well as those who have done great work in charitable initiatives. Founded in 2007 in Nova Scotia, there are now Faces Magazines published in cities in five provinces in Canada including Ottawa.

Ontario Volunteer Service Awards presented John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Stephen Volkmer of Stittsville has received an Ontario Volunteer Service Award. He was among 320 residents of Ottawa and surrounding areas who received Ontario Volunteer Service Awards at ceremonies on Thursday, June 2 and Friday, June 3 at the Tudor Hall on Bowesville Road near the Ottawa Hunt Golf Club. The Ontario Volunteer Service Award recognizes individual volunteers for continuous years of commitment and service to an organization. Recognition is given for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years of continuous volunteer service. Organizations which have been in existence for a minimum of five years may nominate volunteers for this award. Stephen Volkmer received his Ontario Volunteer Service Award for 30 years of service to the Maple Leaf Almrausch Club, an Ottawa area German cultural club. Stephen not only has volunteer with the Club for 30 years but also he has a special connection with the Club as his parents Victor and Inge Volkmer were among the founders of the Club back in 1963 when it was created from the amalgamation of the
Almrausch Bevarian folk dance group and the Maple Leaf Soccer Club. The Maple Leaf Almrausch Club today offers various programs as well as holding social events. Programs include a Bavarian folk dance group, to which Stephen Volkmer belongs, shooting and soccer. At last Friday’s ceremony at the Tudor Hall at which Stephen received his Ontario Volunteer Service Award, six other Maple Leaf Almrausch Club members also received awards. Each presentation brought forth a robust yell from other members in attendance so that everyone in attendance became very aware of the presence of Maple Leaf Almrausch Club members at the event. Among those receiving Ontario Volunteer Service Awards for 25 years of service at these presentation ceremonies at Tudor Hall last week were Beverly Healey of Stittsville for 25 years of service with the Walter Baker Chapter of the IODE and Marcia Buchanan of Stittsville, also for 25 years of service with the Walter Baker Chapter of the IODE. Among those receiving Ontario Volunteer Service Awards for 15 years of service were Cara Thornhill of Richmond for 15 years of service with the Girl Guides of Canada and Ginger Chapleau of
Richmond for 15 years of service as a volunteer with the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Among those receiving Ontario Volunteer Service Awards for 10 years of service were Anne Sloan of Stittsville for ten years of service with the Pembroke Regional Hospital Auxiliary; Elisa Frost of Stittsville for ten years of service with the Girl Guides of Canada; Jason Mullen of Ashton for ten years of service with the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library; and Sue Flockton of Stittsville for ten years of service with Meals on Wheels.

Generous action by perfect stranger at Brown’s YIG John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.
“She made my day.” This is how Judy, a resident of Stittsville, describes the actions of a perfect stranger whom she encountered while shopping in Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville on Monday, May 30, between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Judy had gone to the store to pick up a few items with her daughter. While there, she noticed some flowers for sale. She noted how her late husband used to send flowers to her all the time, voicing this thought as she thought that her daughter was right behind her there in the store. But the person behind her was not her daughter but a perfect stranger who was another customer in the store. Well, Judy and this perfect stranger got talking as Judy told how her late husband David, to whom she was married for 56 years, used to frequently give her roses, either a few or even a dozen, just to show his love. Judy got a hug from the stranger who gave Judy a hug as they parted. And Judy went on her way in the store, continuing to shop. About ten or 15 minutes later, while still shopping, Judy got a tap on her shoulder and there was her stranger/friend, with a bundle of red roses wrapped up for her. This action just made Judy’s day as she
marvels at how this woman went out of her way to purchase the flowers and then hunt her down in the store. Here was someone who had taken the time to stop and think about another, in this case, a stranger in the person of Judy. It was on June 8th two years ago that Judy’s husband David passed away after an extended illness. So it is not the easiest of times these days for Judy as she approaches the anniversary of his death. But to have a stranger buy roses for her just like her husband would have done and to track her down in Brown’s store to give them to her meant a lot to her. It was as if her husband in heaven had sent this angel to her armed with the roses which meant so much to both of them in their relationship. Judy was so overwhelmed by this stranger’s generosity and her actions that she did not even ask her name. But she wants the woman to know that she made her day. Indeed, Judy feels that the world would be an even better place if more people thought of others like this stranger did about her there in Brown’s YIG. Judy now has four of the red roses on her kitchen table while the rest are on display in her living room. “That lady was an angel,” Judy says. She just wants this unknown woman to know just how much her actions at Brown’s YIG store meant to her and how it made her day.

Horse shows at Westar Farms John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
There’s a new look at Westar Farms for this 2016 horse show season. Gone is the two storey announcer’s tower which had stood for over 20 years beside the main show ring, right in the middle of the grounds. Known as “Old Faithful,” the tower was recently demolished thanks to a giant backhoe – three swipes of its bucket and the tower was levelled. This spring a bigger central “people space” called “The Community Hub” is being developed where everyone will be able to sit in the shade of a big tent and watch the events or simply take a break while having a bite to eat and relax. Last fall work began on
two new sand show and warm-up rings with the work continuing this spring. At its shows, Westar Farms will now also have a small trade fair with the mobile shops of two local horse tack and rider equipment stores. There will also be an information area about the horse show taking place and about the Westar Farms riding program. Westar Farms has been hosting horse shows for more than 25 years, always focussed on improving the farm and its show facilities. Westar Farms, located on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville, is hosting a pony and horse show this coming weekend, Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12. Four competition rings will be in action, featuring riders from eight years old and up
in a variety of classes. These will include hunter classes which are based on the style and obedience of a horse over a course or jumps; equitation in which style and accuracy of the rider is the focus (this is similar to figures in figure skating); and jumper classes where speed and accuracy are the deciding factors with the competitor who completes the course in the fastest time with the fewest faults being the winner. This weekend, June 11 and 12 at Westar Farms, two levels of showing will happen each day. At the Bronze or regional level, participants are awarded ribbons in every class. In the Silver or provincial level, called Trillium in Ontario, ribbons will be presented along with prize money in some classes.
SUBMITTED
Mikayla Reis is with Sunkist and their ribbons from the Summer School-ing Show at Westar Farms last month as they look forward to competing in the Trillium and Bronze horse show at Westar Farms this weekend, June 11 and June 12.
A champion and reserve champion will be recognized in each division which is a group of related classes. In addition, competitors are going to be encouraged to form teams of three and combine the points earned in order to win special ribbons. The top three teams in both the hunter and jumper categories on each show day will receive special prizes. There will also be recognition given to those who earn the highest equitation scores combined with either their hunter or jumper points. Everyone is welcome to attend this weekend’s shows at Westar Farms, with the action in the rings taking place from 9 a.m. to about 4 p.m. each day. There is no admission charge and refreshments will be available on the grounds. Spectators are urged to park along the front of the farm. Spectators are also encouraged to bring along a lawn chair. Walk up the central maple tree lined laneway at the farm and find a shaded spot from which to enjoy the show. This weekend’s shows at Westar Farms are just the beginning of the season at Westar Farms. The annual “Horse Lovers’ Weekend” Trillium and Bronze Horse Show will take place on Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10. A “Jump Into Fall” Bronze Horse Show will take place on Sunday, Sept. 18. In addition, a Summer School-ing Series will be running monthly on Tuesday evenings at Westar Farms, with the next such show taking place this coming Tuesday, June 14 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. These small scale introductory level shows provide an opportunity for riders and horses new to horse showing to learn about competition in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Participants are mostly from the immediate area including Westar riders as well as those from other local riding schools or training stables. Spectators are most welcome at any of these schools.
In recent weeks, you have likely heard a thing or two about a certain play structure project in Mooney’s Bay. No matter where I have gone recently, people have asked me about it. Allow me to take this opportunity to shed some light on the matter and to give you my take on it. In case you have not heard about it, the project in question is a joint effort between the City of Ottawa and Sinking Ship Entertainment. The building of this $2M playground will be featured on a TVO children’s show called Giver. The site of this playground is where the current Sue Holloway fitness park is situated. That park was at the end of its lifecycle and will be relocated, with new equipment, in 2017. First off, it is important to note that I found out about the project the same time that many of you did; Friday, May 13th. Being Friday the 13th, someone at the City should have known things were about to get a little messy. The full history on the project, though, dates back to January with many meetings with various stakeholders conducted in February. Again, the members of Council, save one, were not in the loop at this point. However, several well known groups that are users of the park were being consulted and were attending these meetings. In my mind, if any issues arose or concerns were presented, the right people were at the table to address it. From the press release that announced the project on May 13th, you wouldn’t know anyone had concerns. Of course, then the public outcry surfaced. As soon as residents began to push back on the process, people started getting thrown under the bus. There is absolutely no question that this process could have been better. Any confidentiality could have been respected while a modest public consultation was conducted. That didn’t happen and hindsight is 20/20. Regardless of the flawed process, the project got to a point where it was approved following Council-approved policies and it was moving forward. Any efforts to derail the project at that point were purely political and disingenuous. The effort made to bring this to Council retroactively was merely an attempt to save face and have Council be the fallback for the lack of process. I voted against the item coming to Council for a retroactive discussion because, in my estimation, the intent was just so that those who made the decision on the park could pass the buck. I’m not here to be someone else’s scapegoat. If you make a mistake, you own that mistake, you defend your position, you stand strong for what you believe in and you move forward. Far too often, elected officials cannot see beyond the next election and because of that, they make poor decisions. We aren’t here just to get re-elected, we are here to lead. Residents of Ottawa would be better served if all elected officials remembered that. At the end of the day, a play structure will get built at Mooney’s Bay. It will take up 1.3% of the 72-acre park. It will be paid for by private funding coupled with just under $1M from the development funded city-wide cash-in-lieu of parkland account. I didn’t vote for it or against it but I can tell you this much, my kids are going to love it and I’m sure many others will also. Household Hazardous Waste Depot Last week, many of you should have received my newsletter in your mailbox. In it, we highlighted the household hazardous waste depot schedule. However, we only listed the dates and not the actual times. This first one on that schedule is this weekend, Sunday, June 12th, from 8:00am to 4:00pm, at the Progressive Waste Landfill, 3354 Navan Road. All depots operate between 8:00am and 4:00pm. As noted in that newsletter, or in case you didn’t receive it, the City also hosts several hazardous waste depots at locations across the city throughout the year.

Pat Moore performs at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Singer Pat Moore lived up to her name at her performance at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday, June 3, adding “more” to her lineup of cover and original tunes. When an audience member suggested that she perform a tune by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot, she did a little bit of musical tinkering and then delivered a great rendition of “Pussywillows, Cattails.” She began her performance with the enchanting country song “When You Say Nothing At All,” perhaps best known from the 1995 version by American bluegrass/ country singer Alison Krauss, her first solo top ten country hit. Known know for her country/ folk/bluegrass music, Pat followed up “When You Say Nothing At All” with a classic country song, Hank Williams’ 1947 hit “I’m A Long Gone Daddy.” Another song early in her performance which set the tone included “Tennessee Blues,” a JOHN CURRY/METROLAND bluegrass tune by American rock, Country/folk/bluegrass singer Pat Moore performs at the music evening at country and folk singer Steve Earle. the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday, June 3.

And, again giving that little extra, that little “more,” Pat, in response to a query from the audience, gave an explanation of bluegrass music before performing the song. She said that the instrumentation for bluegrass music is pretty standard, involving a guitar, banjo, mandolin and bass, although instruments like a fiddle can be added. But in addition to the instrumentation, bluegrass music is all about the harmonies and the stories in the songs, she noted, calling bluegrass music a combination of various musical styles such as Appalachian music and the blues. Pat also delivered one of the hit songs of Canadian country band Prairie Oyster, a group that was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008. She sang “Did You Fall In Love With Me” from the group’s third album “Everybody Knows” which was released in 1991 and featured four songs which became top ten singles in Canada including “Did You Fall In Love With Me.” Born and raised in Ottawa, Pat Moore grew up in a house filled with music, even singing harmo-

nies with her sisters while doing the supper dishes. In the 1980’s, Pat played bass and sang lead and harmony in “Maple Hill,” a bluegrass band. She later ventured out on her own, writing and releasing a debut solo CD “The Time’s Never Been Better.” In 2003, she recorded her second CD “Take It To Heart” while also forming her own band “The Vinyl Frontier.” She continues to write songs and performs solo and also in various combinations with members of “The Vinyl Frontier” including Pat McLaughlin, Al Bragg and Alistair Dennett. She has also returned to bluegrass with the resurrected “Maple Hill Bluegrass” group. More information about Pat Moore can be found on her website http://www.patmoore.net/. 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 at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge and everyone is welcome to attend.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
June 9, 2016
Dear residents, A number of residents in the area of Johnwoods and throughout the community have expressed their comments on the plan to convert a portion of Johnwoods Street from Rosehill to Maple Grove into a linear park. I would like to thank you for your patience as I have been reviewing the file with City staff to prepare additional information for residents. First and foremost I want to acknowledge that I do understand that this has been a frustrating matter for some residents as they feel their voice was not heard and they were provided misleading information. I share your frustration as I too was provided misleading information from the City. Over the past few years when residents and I have inquired about a public meeting to discuss this road conversion, we were told that no final decision would be made until there was a public consultation. This was the information that I was provided from staff and which I shared with residents. As your elected municipal representative, I apologize on behalf of the City of Ottawa for the misinformation that was provided to residents. I want to assure you that I do not take this situation lightly and find the situation very unsettling. At the public meeting on May 4, 2016 a suggestion was made that I could put forward a motion at the City’s Planning Committee to request an amendment to the Fairwinds West plan of subdivision to overturn the decision to convert the portion of Johnwoods to a linear park. When this suggestion first came forward, I had not had an opportunity to review it thoroughly; however, I did note that if such a motion was put forward there would be no guarantee it would succeed.

Members of the Royal Canadian legion were recognized for reaching significant milestones in their Legion membership. These included Robert Loverock for 55 years; John Lewis for 40 years; Hilda Moore for 35 years; Roger Bourgeois for 30 years; and Shirley Morris, Mavis Lewis and Oscar Clench, all for 25 years. Serving on the Richmond Legion’s executive for the coming year are Jane Louks as president; Brian Goss as immediate past president; John Villeneuve as first vice-president; Elizabeth Douville as secretary; Shirley Morris as treasurer; Louis Seward as chaplain; Mavis Lewis, Jack Lemyre, Gerry Blair, Joanne Hein-
buch, Louise Seward and Tom Louks as executive members; and Keith Thurrott and Oscar Clench as sergeants-at-arms. At the charter night dinner, Sharon Murphy was thanked for her two and a half years serving as the Legion’s bar manager. Those at the head table for the charter night dinner included Ladies Auxiliary president Edna Monahan, Legion president Jane Louks and her husband Tom Louks, and MC Pat Sullivan and his wife Jeanne Simpson. The Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion was founded in 1973, meaning that the Branch is now 43 years old.
Two Branch Service Medals were presented at the annual charter night dinner of the Richmond Legion last Saturday, June 4. Branch Service Medals are awarded to Legion members who are not on the Branch executive but who have contributed outstanding work and effort to the Branch, over and above what could normally be expected. Branch Service Medals were presented to Brian Goss and Tom Louks. Legion service lapel badges presented at the charter night dinner included 40 year badges to Alton Gilhuly and Peter MacArthur; a 35 year badge to Pat Sullivan; and a 15 year badge to Jack Lemyre.

Upon further review of the suggested amendment it has become clear that taking such an action would not result in any changes to the plan and therefore I will not be pursuing this course of action. I have consulted with Senior Planning Staff, the City Solicitor and Planning Committee Chair Jan Harder on this potential amendment. When the development came forward for approval I was required to declare a conflict of interest as I own property which backs onto the development. Additionally, it was determined that if I was to reopen the file, I would again be placed in a conflict of interest. It would be very unlikely that another City Councillor would move such a motion as the reality is that the City has already approved this subdivision. If a Councillor was to receive support at Planning Committee and City Council for such an amendment to be approved at the City level, the developer would then appeal the decision to the province and the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) and I feel very confident in stating that the OMB would not support a decision to change the already approved plan. Having an item go forward to the OMB will take a large amount of time, effort and potentially finances from the community in representation of their interests to the Board. It is now time to move forward on this file. The next step is to discuss how this linear park will be constructed and what features could possibility be incorporated. Think about the potential this park could have and share your comments with me. I am not only your City Councillor; I am one of your neighbours, I am a parent and I am grandparent and I want to stress that the safety of residents, especially our children, is an utmost concern of mine. Councillor’s Canada Day Seniors’ Breakfast RSVP Hello Residents. It’s that time of year again… Time to celebrate the 149th birthday of Canada’s confederation.

‘Whisky & Wickedness’ author Day hospice in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Author Larry Cotton, known for his “Whisky & Wickedness” series, will be at the upcoming “Father’s Day Flashback” at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. He will be in attendance at the Sunday, June 19 event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where he will be signing copies of his latest book in the series. And this latest book is of particular interest to those in the Richmond and Goulbourn areas as it details the Rideau Military Settlements from 1816 to 1875 which includes the Richmond settlement of 1818. This latest book also touches on the Rideau River/Rideau Canal settlements of 1826-1875 as well as the square timber era involving Bytown, the Mississippi River and the Madawaska River (1825-1885). Copies of this latest book will be available for sale at the Father’s Day Flashback event and they are currently available in the Goulbourn Museum’s gift shop. Cotton published his first “Whisky & Wickedness” book in 2004 and since then has self-published more than 15 books in what
has become a series. The books focus on factual and anecdotal short stories that tell the social history of an area with particular reference to how alcohol played a role in the formation of the society of an area. The Goulbourn Museum is hosting its fifth annual “Father’s Day Flashback” event on Sunday, June 19 which is Father’s Day. It is a great event for young families to attend as well as folks of all ages. 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 si-

lent auction are still being accepted by the Goulbourn Museum until Wednesday, June 15. 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 donating an item (e.g. gift certificate) for the silent auction. Just contact the Museum at 613-8312393 and arrangements can be made. Funds raised by the silent auction will be used by the Goulbourn Museum to help publicize the story of Goulbourn and Richmond as Ottawa’s oldest military settlement. TThe Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville. Stittsville Main Street becomes Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners.

Members of Club 55 at the Richmond Legion heard about hospice care in Ottawa and specifically about Hospice Care Ottawa’s day hospice program in Richmond at their meeting at the Legion Hall on Thursday, June 2. Ruth Cameron, a volunteer with Hospice Care Ottawa, explained that there are currently three hospices in Ottawa (May Court in Ottawa South which has nine residential beds, the RuddyShenkman Hospice in Kanata which currently has no residential beds but which is building an addition to house a residential bed facility, and the ten-bed Central West Hospice at Kirkwood and Carling Avenue). There is also a new Francophone hospice in the east end of the city. Hospice Care Ottawa not only offers residential hospice care but also provides a number of other programs such as in-home support, caregiver support and bereavement support. The day hospice program in Richmond, held at St. John’s Anglican Church hall, is meant for clients with life threatening or life
ending illnesses. Some clients are involved for only a few weeks but some have been attending the program for a number of years. The program not only provides weekly social interaction and emotional support to clients but also provides a break for the client’s regular caregiver. Transportation to and from this day hospice program can be arranged. All services provided by Hospice Care Ottawa are provided free of charge. The day hospice program in Richmond, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursdays, takes place in a living-room type setting that volunteers set up at the Anglican Church hall, with clients able to enjoy comfortable furniture. Lunch is provided at noon and post-lunch activities can include euchre and musical entertainment. “There is never doom and gloom at the day hospice,” Ruth said, noting that those at the program are often laughing and have a good time. She said that anyone can make a referral to this day hospice program – it does not have to come through a doctor.

Richmond Public School teacher wins in Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
A Richmond Public School teacher is a Certificate of Achievement recipient in the Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence. A Certificate of Achievement is given to regional level winners while a Certificate of Excellence is awarded to winners at the national level who also have an opportunity to meet the Prime Minister. Carolyn McGuire, who teaches grade three at Richmond Public School, has exhibited in her teaching a unique combination of intuition, nurturing and behav-
iour management skills to bring about transformative changes in children with academic, social and behavioural challenges. She believes that every child deserves to be surrounded by caring, enthusiastic, positive and knowledgeable people. She tailors her teaching so that children work at the level and speed that is right for them. She has received the Certificate of Achievement in the Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence program for developing a wide variety of strategies so students with severe behavioural problems can become productive members of the class; for fostering relationships with parents by
providing email and other updates on students’ successes and challenges; for creating leadership opportunities for students such as grade three students leading kindergarten students in art, math, language and science activities; for creating the Girls Circle, a self-esteem and character development program that is offered at multiple grade levels at the school; and for achieving notable improvement in student results on grade three provincial assessments. The Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence honour outstanding and innovative elementary and secondary school teachers who instill in their stu-
dents a love of learning and who utilize information and communications technologies to better equip their students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in a 21st century society and economy. Up to 25 Certificates of Achievement are awarded at the regional level, each including a financial award of $1,000. These financial awards are to be used for professional development, equipment, resource materials or other tools to improve teaching and student learning related to the teacher’s work. Certificates of Excellence are awarded to the ten top ranked nominees. The next top ranked
nominees each receive a Certificate of Achievement. All recipients receive a certificate, a Prime Minister’s Awards pin and a congratulatory letter signed by the Prime Minister. Award recipients are selected based on the excellence and innovation of their teaching practices, their ability to achieve results with students, inspiring them to learn and continue learning while equipping them with the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to succeed in a 21st century society and economy.

We are buying our first home. The bank insists that we add my father as a co-owner of the home in order to qualify for the mortgage amount we need. The entire down payment is coming from our savings and we will be making all the mortgage payments. I would rather not include my father as a co-owner. What are your suggestions? JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Collecting bottles for diabetes Stittsville District Lions Club members Beth Lewis, left, and Bob Lewis, right, are with some of the bottles collected at the Lions Club’s bottle drive at the Lions Hall parking lot on Stittsville Main Street on Friday evening, June 3. The bottle drive was also held last Saturday, with the proceeds going to help in the fight against diabetes.
Guarantor of the mortgage vs. being registered on title as owner Adding a person who is not going to be living at the property as a co-owner is generally not recommended, unless you are buying an investment property. You should discuss with your bank whether it would be sufficient to have your father as a guarantor on the mortgage, rather than a co-owner. If the bank still insists on your father’s ownership, there are ways to structure the co-ownership in order to protect everyone’s interest and to minimize your father’s exposure to any tax related consequences of owning a second home. Joint Tenancy and Tenancy in Common There are two ways in which two or more individuals can own a real property together. They can own it as either joint

tenants or tenants in common. The main difference between the two is that people who own a property as joint tenants have a right of survivorship, meaning that if either one of them dies, his or her ownership share passes automatically to the other surviving joint tenants. This is in contrast with tenancy in common, which does not have a right of survivorship, meaning that the share of the deceased tenant in common becomes part of such person’s estate. With tenancy in common you can also specify a size of a share that each co-owner owns. For example, your father can own a 1% share of the home and you and your spouse the remaining 99% share, with all of you owning the home as tenants in common. This will ensure you and your spouse’s share becomes part of your estate rather than transferring to your father in case something happens to both of you.

Sacred Heart High School’s ‘Relay For Life’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
A group of Sacred Heart High School students made a difference on Friday, June 3. That’s when the 100 or so students gathered at the Oz Dome property off Carp Road to participate in a Relay For Life event. This is the second year that the school has held its own Relay For Life event and the third year that the school has been involved in this Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser, with some Sacred Heart students taking part in a Relay For Life at another school three years ago to experience the event and witness how it was organized, all in preparation for holding Sacred Heart’s own event. And while Relay For Life is an event focussed on walking, with students in teams always having at least one teammate out walking the route, there is much more to this Sacred Heart Relay For Life event than the walking. It is an event that involves testimonials from cancer survivors, that includes motivational messages about the need to rid the world of cancer , that includes a survivors’ lap, that includes an emotional luminary ceremony with the route around the Oz Dome soccer field lined with lighted luminaries, all in memory of a loved one who has survived cancer or who has lost the battle, and that includes a number of group activities
to keep up enthusiasm and involvement during the 12 hour event. At the opening ceremony just after 12 noon, with warm, sunny weather prevailing and the blue sky overhead dotted with puffy white clouds, Sacred Heart principal Alex Belloni, who officially opened the event, told how her husband was a cancer survivor after a diagnosis 17 years ago. But she was not the only one speaking at this opening ceremony to tell of a personal battle with cancer. Marina Westbrook, a former Sacred Heart teacher who now works at the Ottawa Catholic School Board office, noted that her father was diagnosed with cancer when she was a high school student. Nick Mamalis of Royals Restaurant in Richmond, one of the event’s corporate sponsors, noted in his remarks that his father-in-law has battled cancer and is a survivor. Cacia Ploeg, the student coordinator for this Relay For Life event whose sister Anna was the coordinator last year before her high school graduation, recounted
how her sister had been diagnosed with a childhood cancer at the age of three and despite a survival rate projected at only five percent, she overcame the odds and became a survivor, attending Relay For Life events and ultimately starting the Relay For Life initiative at Sacred Heart.
But Cacia then told the crowd of fellow students and others at this opening ceremony that her sister Anna, who had been cancer free for 15 years, had discovered a lump on her throat this past January and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. See SURVIVORS’ LAP, page 47

Survivors’ lap begins Relay For Life around Oz Dome field Continued from page 41
cer.
Treatments, though, worked and she is now a cancer survivor for the second time. Cacia, though, continued, telling how her father recently had noticed a lump and was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, requiring chemotherapy treatment. Cacia went on to praise cancer patients, calling them probably among the strongest willed people someone will ever meet in life. Speaking about cancer, she simply said “It is ugly and it has to go.” Those at the opening ceremony also heard from Josephine Cybulski, the mother of a Sacred Heart student who herself is battling cancer. She discovered her breast cancer in a self-examination two years ago. Surgery removed the tumour but the cancer had spread into a lymph node. This resulted in aggressive treatment in the form of chemotherapy during which she lost her hair. She underwent chemotherapy treatments and radiation treatments. She now has her hair back and is living life fully, taking yoga and working full time. Caring family and friends, she said, and positive thinking had helped her in her battle with can-
Sacred Heart teacher Sheryl Stonehouse, who has worked with the students in organizing the Sacred Heart Relay For Life events, reminded the students that in Relay For Life, they are united with other Canadians to trying to create a world where no one fears cancer. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, in his remarks at the opening ceremony, told how many families both in the Stittsville community and across the city of Ottawa have or are being affected by “this terrible disease” of cancer. It was pointed out at the opening ceremony that this year 130 schools, both high schools and universities, are involved with Relay For Life events. This is up from just four high schools being involved in the year 2002. At the opening ceremony, the song “I’ll Stand By You” was sung student Kaitlyn Weatherall. This 1994 hit by the EnglishAmerican rock band The Pretenders which was also recorded by Carrie Underwood in 2007 is a power ballad that pledges love and faithful assistance in times of personal darkness. It’s what
those battling cancer need to experience. After a fashion show in which members of various teams in the relay modelled their team costumes, the cancer survivors present, all wearing yellow survivor t-shirts, led off the first lap of the relay, leading all of the walkers around the route circling the Oz Dome’s lighted soccer field. Survivors taking part in this opening lap were Conrad Ploeg, Emily Lusignan, Josephine Cybulski, Cecilia Delfino, Corynne Adamson and Ginette D’Angelo. It was at 8:30 p.m. that evening that a luminary ceremony was held, with the lighted luminary bags, most emblazoned with a personal message in honour of a loved one or a cancer survivor, forming a chain of light around the walking route. Students Katie Taylor and Vanessa Salvatore were the MC’s for this luminary ceremony. Student Emily Lusignan, a cancer survivor, was the speaker. A number of group activities, organized by the students, took place through the afternoon and early evening, all to help retain enthusiasm as the hours of the 12 hour event rolled on.
There was a frozen t-shirt contest which ended quickly, with the winning frozen t-shirt being de-thawed and put on within two minutes. A three legged obstacle course race and yoga were other afternoon activities. So too was a “Huckle Buckle” activity. Students in teams of two lined up in two rows opposite each other, with space in between. If the announcer said “Huckle Buckle,” then the teams had to quickly do whatever the following instruction ordered. If the phrase “Huckle Buckle” was not voiced, then teams were to stay stationary. Any movement meant elimination. And what were some of the instructions which were related to putting two body parts together, one from each teammate? Well, there was “ear to foot,” “head to toe,” “shoulder to stomach,” “teeth to knee,” “nose to hand” and more. Eventually all but one of the 20 or so teams participating in the event were eliminated, leaving the one winning team. Other activities included an ice cube toss, a photo scavenger hunt and improv games.
The closing ceremony saw the students gathering at the stage area where the opening ceremony had been held almost 12 hours before. One of the MC’s for the closing ceremony, Lauren Hutchings, noting that everyone knows someone affected by cancer, said that everyone wants to make a difference in the fight against cancer. She said that everyone has to fight back against cancer, helping to protect family and friends from this disease. Student coordinator Cacia Ploeg, in her remarks at the closing ceremony, announced that this 2016 Relay For Life event had raised $14,000 with more funds expected in the coming month. She urged all those involved in this year’s Relay For Life event to continue their involvement in the future either at next year’s Sacred Heart Relay For Life or if graduating this year, at a university or college event next year. Cacia announced that four students have stepped up to be the student leaders for next year’s Relay For Life at Sacred Heart. See CLOSING CEREMONY, page 48

Inaugural Summerfest at South Carleton High School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was Summerfest at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Friday, June 3.
This was the first time that this Summerfest event was held, starting at 12 noon and running through to 2 p.m. In Summerfest, students were able to participate in a variety of activity stations including bubble soccer using knocker-
balls, water balloon toss, ten-legged relay, water carry, egg and spoon race, face painting, beach volleyball, chalk murals, yoga, capture the water balloon, paint throw, photo booth, rainbow bowling and more. Students were able to cool off in a huge sprinkler on this warm, sunny day. There was also lots of fun to be had with the bubble machine. School bands and a DJ provided music throughout the event. A booth was set up promoting mental health initiatives at the school. A grade ten business class was on hand selling freezies, hot dogs and cow pie
bingo spots with the cow pie bingo featuring “Smurf,” a one and a half year old Hereford. Summerfest is meant as a time of celebration as the school year wraps up, celebrating the hard work and dedication of both students and staff in the 2015-2016 school year. The event was organized thanks to the participation and involvement of a number of different groups in the school including students’ council, the LINK crew, the Social Justice Club, the Rainbow Alliance, SOS, LPC and a grade ten civics class.

Family Fun Day on June 11 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
You can have some family fun while helping out a group of youth who are off to work in an orphanage in Mexico in July. It’s all possible at the annual Family Fun Day which is being hosted by the merchants of the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) at 1300 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville this Saturday, June 11. Activities such as face painting, a bubble pool, a silent auction, a used book sale, pottery painting and a BBQ will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with everyone invited to participate. The funds collected will be going to help a youth group from the Kanata Baptist Church which is travelling to Oaxaca in
Mexico for ten days in July to work in an orphanage. While there, the youth will be assisting the staff with general maintenance such as painting as well as with new construction projects. In addition, the youth will be helping out with the daily chores around the orphanage. There are approximately 100 children living in the home. The funds raised at the Family Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will help the youth pay for their air travel to Mexico. The room and board for the youth while they are in Mexico is being covered by the Kanata Baptist Church.

Brand new building in Stittsville for Kanata Academy John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
A new location in Stittsville and a brand new stand-alone building, allowing for more students and additional grades – there’s lots happening for the Kanata Academy. But one thing that will not be changing will be the private school’s name. Principal Shannon Rattray said at a June 1 sod turning ceremony for the new facility now under construction at 180 Huntmar Drive that despite the move to its new Stittsville location from its current premises in the Beaverbrook Mall in Kanata, the school will be retaining its Kanata Academy name. She said that people are familiar with the name since the school has been around since being founded in the late 1990’s. Shannon and her husband Dr. Kevin Rattray purchased the Kanata Academy in 2011. And although there will be no name change, the Kanata Academy was welcomed to Stittsville at the JOHN CURRY/METROLAND sod turning ceremony on June 1 by Standing beside a sign announcing the new home of the Kanata Academy private school at 180 Huntmar Drive with the new building now under city of Ottawa Stittsville ward counconstruction behind them at the ceremonial sod turning ceremony for the new facility on June 1 are, from left, Peter Gregor who is director of cillor Shad Qadri.

Kanata Academy to open in new building in Jan. 2017 Continued from page 58
He said that although Kanata may be losing the private school, he is very pleased to have it locate in the Stittsville community, both from an economic point of view but also from an educational standpoint, helping to grow the Stittsville community in both cases. “I think you have a perfect location,” councillor Qadri told Dr. and Mrs. Rattray at the sod turning, noting the traffic going by the site on the east side of Huntmar Drive between Maple Grove Road and Palladium Drive. He noted that Huntmar Drive will be improved at some point in the future while also noting that it will be quite a few years before the Ottawa Senators relocate from the nearby Canadian Tire Centre to downtown Ottawa. And while it was publicized as a sod turning ceremony, it ended up being a “gravel/ crushed stone turning” ceremony as Dr. and Mrs. Rattray, accompanied by councillor Qadri and Peter Gregor who is director of development for the Nautical Lands Group which is the general contractor for the project, did the ceremonial act on a gravel entranceway to the site with a Kanata Academy sign in the background. Shannon Rattray did end this ceremony by tossing a shovelful of crushed stone in lieu of turning any actual sod. Indeed, there is no grass evident on the two-acre site which is now an active construction site, with the cement block walls of the new two-storey building now well underway.
Peter Gregor of Nautical Lands Group noted that the project had been delayed a little getting going but now things are moving smoothly, with great weather helping. Shannon Rattray praised the Nautical Lands Group for its work on the project, saying that it is all being done so well. Originally it had been hoped to have the new facility open for this September but now the plan is to open this coming January, moving in over the Christmas break. The Kanata Academy currently has 104 students but the new Huntmar Drive premises will be able to accommodate about 200 students. And the new building is being built to accommodate future expansion in the form of a third storey which will be able to be added when there is a need for it. Currently the Kanata Academy offers a pre-school to grade eight program but with the new facility, it will be adding the high school grades, with grade nine being added this fall. Eventually all of the high school grades will be offered, giving the private school a complete pre-school to grade 12 program. The new facility will have a gymnasium which the current premises do not have as well as more classrooms than the current mall location. There will also be a mini-soccer field at the rear of the new facility. It was not long after Dr. Kevin and Shannon Rattray took over the Kanata Academy in 2011 that they realized that the school had to relocate from its shopping mall location
to achieve long-term success. This meant a stand-alone facility with features such as a gymnasium, soccer field and enough classrooms to allow the addition of the high school grades. In 2014, negotiations began to purchase the two-acre site at 180 Huntmar Drive and following the purchase of the property in
July 2015, Nautical Lands Group was hired as the general contractor for the project to design, plan, prepare the site plan and construct the new school facility. The Kanata Academy is a private school committed to motivating children to develop a love of learning. See SMALL CLASS SIZES, page 60

Small class sizes in place at Kanata Academy Continued from page 59
The school features small class sizes and regular communication between teachers and parents. Kanata Academy has become known for its strong academics, exceeding the standard Ontario curriculum and allowing children to thrive in their education through individualized learning programs, taught by fully certified teachers. The Kanata Academy has over a dozen teachers including a music teacher and a French teacher in addition to principal Shannon Rattray and an office administrator. Shannon Rattray herself taught for ten years before taking a break for her own young family. She and her husband then purchased the Kanata Academy and she took over the role of principal. A certified teacher herself, she has taught both elementary and secondary students and has obtained her Specialist in Special Education. She has also participated in writing English curriculum for the
Ministry of Education. She views her role as principal as one in which she creates a cohesive learning environment that focuses on improving student learning and getting students to set and attain goals with the help and support of their teachers and families. The Kanata Academy tries to develop students who are curious, confident and independent learners. Small class sizes of five to 14 students and multi-grade interaction provides a familylike atmosphere where all students are treated with fairness and compassion. Teachers adapt programs to individual needs. The Kanata Academy follows the curriculum set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Because of the small class sizes, the curriculum is often able to be enhanced to include student interests, making the classroom experience more exciting and interactive. The Kanata Academy also offers summer camps as well as a March Break camp.

MARY COOK Memories The two chokecherry bushes just before the West Hill began were in full bloom. Soon they would be heavy with the little berries and would become jelly. The jars would help fill our cellar shelves, already starting to show the results of Mother’s pickling and preserves. Not only did I love chokecherry jelly, spread on fresh buttered bread, but I often went to the two trees and popped a few in my mouth, enjoying the tart taste of the little berries. My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to make my life miserable, one day told me something that just about ruined my love of chokecherries. “Did you hear what happened to the Kallies boys second cousin, once removed? Well, he ate a handful of chokecherries and took a few sips of milk, and he choked to death.” I figured I was safe because even though we had an ample supply of milk in the farm, I hated it. I was sure I could smell cow off a glass of milk, and to get milk into me, Mother had to stir in a spoon of cocoa and a few drops of vanilla. Only then could I get the glass of milk down. So I wasn’t likely to drop dead from eating a few chokecherries. I assured Emerson if he planned on getting rid of me any time soon, it wouldn’t be from eating
The two chokecherry bushes just before Seniors breakfast the West Hill began were in full bloom Special to the News
chokecherries and then drinking milk! That afternoon, Mother made a batch of jelly from what Audrey and I were able to get off the bushes. The house was full of the wonderful smell of boiling berries. And then supper was on the table. And there was a bowl of fresh jelly. Emerson was sitting across from me on the bench that ran under the grape arbour window, and he spotted the jelly as soon as I did. I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but there was no doubt in my mind he was up to something. The fruit nappies sat in the middle of the table, and Emerson took one and helped himself to a few spoons full of jelly. He slathered a good helping of jelly on his slice of buttered bread, and crammed most of it into his mouth. Then he took a good swig of milk. Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did when he had the gripe in the winter time. Mother stayed remarkably calm, and in a voice she reserved for the times when she lost her patience, asked Emerson what was wrong. “It’s the chokecherry jelly mixed with the milk,” he said, gasping for breath. “I told Mary this could happen and she wouldn’t believe me.”
His face was beet red from the coughing, and he looked like he was going to slide off the bench and under the table. Everett and Earl, sitting on each side of him, didn’t lose a beat. They kept on eating their nappies of jelly as if their brother choking to death was a common occurrence. Mother finally put down her spoon, and her voice was now the one she used when she was about to give one of us a cuff on the ear. “So you think it was the jelly, do you?” Emerson could only nod. “Well that’s mighty strange,” Mother said. “Because that’s blackberry jelly you’re eating. A bottle left over from last year. The chokecherry jelly has to settle before we eat it.” Everett and Earl both gave Emerson a poke in the ribs, my sister Audrey was laughing so hard she had to leave the table, and Father got up and went to his rocking chair and lit his pipe. “Don’t know what a man has to do to get to eat a meal in peace around here,” could be heard in a voice just above a whisper.

This is why she provided a sampling of clothing items from the new clothing collections that Golf Town now has among its offerings which include not only golf clothing but also everything needed for golfing including clubs, shoes and even club repairs. Modelling the outfits in this fashion show at the luncheon were Amberwood Ladies Golf League members Bev Campbell, Nicole Burchill, Heidi Leopold, Jan Luckett, Sue Gamble and Yvonne McCartney. Each of them modelled two outfits, with those at the luncheon not only able to see the outfits on the models but also were able to get a close-up look as the models strolled around the tables at the luncheon. Yvonne McCartney’s teal blue outfit drew some positive reaction as did other attire modelled in the show but it was the one-piece golf dress modelled by Sue Gamble that drew the most reaction and buzz in the room. It was explained that these golf dresses are becoming popular now among lady golfers. Ladies golf fashions are changing these days, not only with items such as these golf dresses but also regarding new features such as sleeveless attire, shorter skirts and clothing with new neck designs.

Peacefully, at the Queensway Carleton Hospital of Ottawa, on Sunday, May 29, 2016 at the age of 81. Beloved wife of the late George Cousens. Loving mother to Geoff (Donna), David (Annette), John (Anick) and Jennifer. Loved grandmother of Braden, Kassandra, Ted, Isaac, Michael, Thomas and Eve, and great-granddaughter, Paislee. Joan is survived by her sister Deanna Bradley (late Gilbert). Born in Arnprior, Joan made her home in the Ottawa Valley and was active in the Parish of Huntley and Carp community. She could often be found atop a ski hill, at the rink figure skating, or swimming at Robert Simpson Park. She was the life of the party, and was known for organizing the best community events, parties and family get-togethers. In her earlier years, Joan worked as an x-ray technologist at the Carp Medical Centre and volunteered at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. Friends were invited to join Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family during visitation at the Tubman Funeral Home, 115 Rivington St., Carp, on Friday June 3, from 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM. A Mass celebrating Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was held Saturday June 4th, 2 PM at Christ Church in Carp. In memory of Joan, please consider a donation to Christ Church, Carp or the Alzheimer Society. Condolences/Donations to www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com

In loving memory Yarrow Viets September 27, 1981 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 11, 2015 The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Forever. Love Marek, Brody and Brooke Mom and Dad Aspen, Neil and Lily

Donation to Chrysalis House Continued from page 64
Besides enjoying this fashion show, the ladies at this luncheon of the Amberwood Ladies Golf League also used this occasion to show support for Chrysalis House, an emergency shelter in Kanata for women and their children who find themselves in violent and abusive situations. Amberwood Ladies Golf League captain Valerie Woodward, on behalf of the ladies, presented a $900 donation to Martine Dore who is the manager of Chrysalis House. In her remarks at the luncheon, manager Dore thanked the ladies for their support of Chrysalis House, not only with this most recent donation but also for their ongoing support in recent years including not only financial donations but also donated items such as boxes for toiletries. She also noted that such support shows the women who use the services of Chrysalis House that they have the support of other women in the community. Chrysalis House, located in Kanata but serving the western Ottawa area, is a 25bed shelter for women and their families fleeing abusive situations which can include not only physical abuse but financial, sexual and other types of abuse as well. Chrysalis House is full all of the time, manager Dore said, while also explaining that sometimes a woman seeking shelter there may be accompanied not only by children but perhaps by an elderly mother who was living with her in the abusive situation. This is reflective of the changing family groups in society which can now in-
clude such older generations or perhaps an older male child living at home. It was pointed out that the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, which operates Chrysalis House, also offers counselling for women facing violence in their lives. This means that Chrysalis House is not always the only option for women living in abusive situations. Chrysalis House has a 24-hour crisis phone line (613-591-5901). Besides such crisis support, it also provides other services such as counselling, housing support, legal support, parenting support and referrals to community resources. The name “Chrysalis” is meaningful as a chrysalis is the final stage of transition between larva and butterfly, just before a butterfly arrives at the winged or perfect state. A shelter like Chrysalis House represents a similar time of transition. With support from others, a woman can begin to heal the scars left from abuse. Through this transition, a woman can rediscover herself and feel free to fly or she can return home having more knowledge about abuse and feeling stronger in her life. The ladies of the Amberwood Ladies Golf League played golf in the morning preceding the luncheon. At the luncheon, various prizes were awarded for the golfing including closest to the pin, longest drive and lowest team score. Golfers with the Amberwood Ladies Golf League play twice a week, on Tuesday mornings and on Thursday afternoons. The group’s activities also include a once a month luncheon.

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