News - It’s a family event that really means something to the Stittsville Childcare Centre. It’s a BBQ fundraiser for cancer research that’s happening this Friday, June 13 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Stittsville Childcare Centre premises at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Manchester Street in Stittsville (across from the Stittsville Legion Hall). Cancer has impacted the Stittsville Childcare Centre community just like it has affected all other aspects of society. Throughout the years, the Stittsville Childcare Centre has seen its share of families impacted by cancer. This annual effort to raise money to help cancer research began when Jayne Whyte, a parent of two boys attending the Stittsville Childcare Centre, passed away from cancer in Aug. 2007. The Stittsville Childcare Centre made a donation in her memory at that time and then decided to hold an annual fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. Thus began this annual BBQ fundraiser that is now in its seventh year. Since 2007, more parents and families associated with the Stittsville Childcare Centre have been impacted by cancer.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Krystle Vanderwal, a staff member at the Stittsville Childcare Centre, holds up a poster advertizing the fundraising BBQ for the Canadian Cancer Society which is being held at the Stittsville Childcare Centre premises at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Manchester Street (across from the Stittsville Legion Hall) this Friday, June 13 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Face painting, fish pond, a fire truck and a raffle will all be part of the fun and activity at this fundraising BBQ to which everyone in the community is invited.

Besides the BBQ, there will be a ďŹ sh pond, face painting and children’s play area. So it’s will be a great spot for youngsters of all ages. In addition, the Stittsville ďŹ reďŹ ghters will be on site with a ďŹ re truck. And who doesn’t like seeing a ďŹ re truck up close, whether young or not so young! Even if you don’t have young children but want to support this cause, drop by because there will be a number of rafe prizes to be won. Tickets are only $2 each and look what

you could win: a gift certiďŹ cate from Hurley’s Restaurant; a gift certiďŹ cate from Pretty Pots Florist; a gift certiďŹ cate from Kiwi Kraze; a gift certiďŹ cate from JoJo’s Pizza; a ceramic planter from Pottery Playhouse; a gift basket from Tracy’s Art Studio; a gift basket from Shoppers Drug Mart’ a gift certiďŹ cate from Gabriel’s Pizza; a gift basket from Nutrition House at the St. Laurent Shopping Centre; and four passes to “Walking with Dinosaursâ€? at Canadian Tire Centre.

Construction of this rounadabout began last year when preliminary roadwork was done. In addition, hydro infrastructure was relocatedto accommodate the new trafďŹ c conďŹ guration. It is expected that the roundabout will improve trafďŹ c ow at the intersection and will eliminate existing stop signs in favour of yield signs at the roundabout. In addition, the new intersection will be a four-way intersection, replacing two-way offset intersections that have existed up to this point. Up until now, Shea Road north of Fernbank Road and Shea Road south of Fernbank Road did not line up across from each other. The new roundabout will create a four-way intersection at Fernbank Road and Shea Road. This Fernbank Road/Shea Road roundabout project is a project of the “Ottawa on the Moveâ€? program which deals with transportation, water and sewer projects in the city to improve infrastructure and to create jobs.

Ducklings visit Nursery School Special to the News

News - The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School had some special visitors last week. A number of baby ducklings visited the Nursery School, giving the youngsters a close up experience with these tiny yellow feathered friends. Nursery School youngsters even had the opportunity to touch and pet these visiting ducklings. It takes 28 days for eggs to hatch in an incubator to produce ducklings. Raising ducklings is not difficult provided that the ducklings are provided with a proper environment, heat, feed

and water. The brooding or living area for ducklings must be clean, dry and well ventilated. Proper bedding such as hay or straw is needed. There must be a heat source such as a heat lamp with an infrared bulb to provide heat and warmth for the new ducklings. The ducklings must be properly fed. This could include a duck started feed but also could include fruits and vegetables provided they are finely chopped since ducklings do not have teeth. Small insects and worms are another food source for ducklings. Ducklings must also be provided with water.

Rush to build pool Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Design and construction problems in a rush to build the Goulbourn pool – overseen by the former township of Goulbourn – like-

ly led to $4 million in needed repairs, according to city of Ottawa officials. City councillors grilled staff during a finance committee meeting on June 3 before approving the funds needed to make major, unexpected

repairs to the recreation complex. Councillors Diane Deans and Keith Egli were concerned about “what went wrong� and whether staff learned from the experience that led to having to replace the entire steel structure surrounding the pool due to rust and mould. The problems started at the very beginning, when the first

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

At Rural Expo City of Ottawa staff members at Ottawa city hall, Justine Paulin, left, of Orleans and Alison Lynch, right, of Stittsville, meet a week-old goat at the Mayor’s Rural Expo and Food Aid fundraiser at Ottawa city hall last Friday. In addition to a barbecue to raise funds for the Ottawa Food Bank, the event features displays by many businesses, festivals and artisans from Ottawa’s rural communities as well as a cow milking friendly competition involving mayor Jim Watson, councillors and radio personalities.

phase of the centre was built 14 years ago, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick. “The first phase designed and built by township of Goulbourn,� Kirkpatrick said. “There were problems with the design or construction of this building, or both.� Mayor Jim Watson said it was his understanding that the former township council was keen to rush the pool’s completion before the former municipalities amalgamated into the new City of Ottawa in 2001. “This was a project that Goulbourn council very much wanted to see before amalgamation and it was pushed ahead,� Watson said. “Obviously there have been a series of problems with that particular project that have not met our expectations.� Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he couldn’t comment on decisions made by the former township because it predated his involvement. “I think when the centre was built it was built to the standards that were applicable at the time,� he said. Wayne Newell, general manager of infrastructure services, said if it’s discovered that issues were the result of the builder not following plans, that contractor would be held responsible and made to pay. But the mayor said re-

couping the costs through legal action is unlikely. “(It’s) probably unlikely because it’s been so many years,� Watson said. “I don’t know if we have much of a legal leg to stand on to move forward with that.� Qadri said getting hung up on how the plans came together 14 years ago was not the priority. “Going back – I don’t know whether that’s worthwhile doing that or not,� Qadri said. “My idea is to go forward. If there is any legal action required in terms of architects or consultants or stuff, I’ve already asked them in the report to come back to committee and report that.� From a staff perspective, the city’s manager of asset management, Alain Gonthier, said the lesson learned is to put more onus on engineers to flag concerns, especially in areas they don’t have access to, such as inside the ceiling. That way, managers can give authority to conduct a more invasive review. The new work needed to address the rust issues at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool includes new steel columns on the warm side of the wall complete with epoxy paint finish and raised off the pool deck in order to avoid water from the deck. Foundation bases for the round steel

columns supporting the roof need to be reinforced and a new thermally broken triple glazed “curtain wall� system must be installed. The upper “lantern� – the original source of many of the issues – must be removed and replaced with new steel decking and roofing. A new interior mechanical air distribution system must be installed and the rusting doors and frames need to be replaced. The recreation complex includes a pool, two arena pads, a gymnasium, a fitness studio and community meeting rooms. It was constructed in three phases: the first by the former township of Goulbourn in the year 2000, the second by the city of Ottawa in 2008 (gymnasium, fitness studio and meeting rooms), and the third by the city of Ottawa in 2010 (second ice pad). Other parts of the original recreation complex building constructed in 2000 along with the pool (lobby, initial arena and administration spaces) are being inspected to determine if there are design and construction issues in these areas as well. But any such issues in these areas are not expected to be as significant as those in the pool area. If repair work is needed in these areas, it is expected that funding for them can be accommodated as part of the city’s regular capital budgeting process.

Guitar magic again at Gaia Java shop Special to the News

News - There was guitar magic again at last Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. The week before, guitarists Neil Bateman and Pierre Monfils wowed the audience with their guitar offerings. Last Friday, it was Alex Tomkins at the plate, as it were, and he hit it out of the park with his performance blending various jazz styles into standards and contemporary tunes. Alex has played at the Gaia Java shops before, always impressing the audience. He has played both solo and with a number

of jazz ensembles around Ottawa. He is also known as a guitar teacher, so you know that he knows his way around a guitar. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts music evenings every Friday, starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge but those attending are reminded to arrive early for the best seating. The Patrick Smith Trio featuring saxophone, bass and drums, will be performing at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop this Friday, June 13 at 7 p.m. JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Cupcake sale for Make-A-Wish Foundation Continued from page 1

This is the fifth year that the MacMillan family and friends are holding this cupcake sale. It all evolved from a desire to give back by the MacMillan family after a daughter had her wish granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation when she was seven years old. She got to go to Disney World to see the princess. This wish was just such a great gift to the family that it wanted to give back and the cupcake sale was born. And right from the start, the MacMillan family wanted their children’s friends to help out

and be part of it all and that is what has happened. They all love the day and look forward to it every year. It’s a great way to continue to celebrate the wish granted to the MacMillan family and to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation so that other youngsters facing challenging situations can also have their wishes fulfilled. You can help out in all of this by dropping by 18 Red Oaks Trail off Trailway Circle in Amberwood in Stittsville and pick up a cupcake or two. You will not only help out a cause that helps children but also will be taking home a delicious goodie. You can’t beat that!

2014 Zoning Review – Phase 2 Notice of Public Information Sessions Why? In 2013 City Council approved new Official Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. In some review areas, changes to existing Secondary Plans will also be made to permit the zoning updates to proceed. How will this affect me? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. It regulates things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy. Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas. Learn more about the project and view maps of the review areas at ottawa.ca/zoningreview.

Traffic safety 101

T

he traffic issues putting kids at risk at Robert E. Wilson Public School on McArthur Avenue are common across the city. The problem deserves a real solution and parents should support changes to make kids safer. R.E. Wilson is located on a road where drivers are unlikely to slow down to the speed limit. The children attending the school are in kindergarten to Grade 6; not a good mix with fast cars. On top of that risk, parents try to get their cars in and out of the parking lot before the bell rings and after school. Many may be in a rush to get to work each morning. The school’s principal calls the situation dangerous and says there are often near misses. Parents have been asked to drop off kids along the road, right onto paths that link to the school, but many still choose to head into and out of the parking lot. The parent council would like to see a permanent solution: closing the parking lot. Some parents have reportedly responded with anger when it’s suggested the lot could be closed. The school has done just about everything possible to reduce the risk of a serious injury or death, including efforts to get more kids to walk or ride bikes to school.

A crosswalk has been added at the corner of McArthur Road and Brant Street, the speed limit is marked at 40 kilometres per hour during school hours and a loading zone – perfect for dropping off or picking up kids – has been established. A recent police blitz resulted in 40 tickets being handed out, but the deterrent value of a crackdown is – as expected – fleeting. It’s also expensive to have officers staking out a school zone over and over again. Clearly the parking lot should be closed if that’s the greatest risk to kids. It’s time for the city to step in and install traffic calming measures. They don’t have to be expensive. Narrowed traffic lanes can help, and also have the advantage of making the road crossing shorter for pedestrians. The area sounds like a perfect spot to join a pilot project now underway in a few areas of the city that has seen flexible posts installed down a road’s centreline with the speed limit marked on them. This visually narrows the road and can result in lower speeds. If there’s ever a place that deserves added attention, it’s a school zone. No kid should be hurt or killed because they’re heading to or from school.

Our lawns tell story of the new impersonal campaign

E

ven in the last week of the Ontario election campaign, it was hard to find campaign signs on people’s lawns. True, there was no shortage of them on public property. But if you walked along neighbourhood streets and looked for them in front of people’s houses, no go. You could walk an entire city block without seeing a lawn that had a sign on it. Fewer people than usual felt committed enough about a candidate or a party to allow a sign on their lawn. That could mean a lot of things, the most important of which was that the election was not connecting with people. Why would that be? There will be no shortage of blame to spread around. The parties and their leaders will get some of it, for failing to excite the people. The people will get some blame too, for being too busy with trivial matters to care about who governs them. And then there are the media, always available when blame is being shared around. The news media accentuated the negative, played up insignificant controversy and gave insufficient time and space to more serious policy matters. You can find something to agree with all of these explanations, but there are other things to

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town consider, such as the way election campaigns have been changing in recent years. This one was a good example. The parties no longer campaign the way they once did. They now focus almost entirely on media, old and new, and the effect may be to make individuals feel less involved in campaigns. There was more door-knocking in previous campaigns. The odds were that at some point, one or more candidates would come to your door, often accompanied by some of your neighbours. That would help to personalize the campaign for you. You would also see your neighbours at the all-candidates debate at a school or church hall near you. After listening to the candidates and perhaps asking a question or two, you would talk with your friends and neighbours about

what you’d heard. Whichever candidate you supported, you had a sense that the election touched your neighbourhood in some way. And you might put out a sign. Today’s parties don’t seem to care about that. In today’s style of campaigning, there is heavy reliance on television advertising, which involves the individual voter not at all, other than by changing the channel. More recently, there is an increasing emphasis on the Internet and social media. There is Internet advertising and an endless barrage of tweets. Your computer replaces your doorstep. While this means that, theoretically, messages from the parties can reach more people than ever before, the overall effect is to make them less personally involved. They have less personal contact with candidates; they see lots of them, but only as images on a screen. At the same time that electronic contact with voters has expanded, face-to-face contact has diminished. You have probably noticed news articles during the campaign about the decreasing number of all-candidates meetings. This has been interpreted as part of a political strategy to keep tight control on the message and the candidates, to avoid at all costs unscripted encounters with voters and journalists.

The idea is to minimize risk, to avoid situations where candidates have to think on their feet, perhaps make a mistake or show that they don’t know all the answers. Political junkies may find this risk-free campaign interesting to watch, but for most of us these changes in campaign style have created far too much distance between us and the people we elect. The new breed of political strategist doesn’t seem concerned by this. The only goal is winning and if winning can be done without communicating, so much the better. But if it’s working for the parties, it’s not working for the people. The lawns tell the story.

Fernbank/Shea Roundabout Starting June 9, 2014 Fernbank Road will be restricted to a single lane at Shea Road. This lane reduction is required as the City constructs a single-lane roundabout at the intersection. A flag person will be onsite during weekday construction hours to direct traffic. The work is expected to be completed by the end of August. Modifications to the intersection of Fernbank Road at Shea Road to accommodate the installation of a single roundabout is a $1.9 million project that will improve traffic flow and will eliminate existing stop signs in favour of yield signs facing all four traffic directions. This project also includes realigning Shea Road from its current offset position. The Fernbank Road at Shea Road roundabout is an Ottawa on the Move project. Ottawa on the Move was originally approved in the 2012 Budget and is about keeping our community and economy moving forward through strategic investments in a number of transportation, water, and sewer projects to build a better city and create jobs.

Grant Dillenbeck, Marianne Graham, Bill Graham, Toby Dumoulin and Bruce Hill who is senior development manager of the Eastern Ontario Chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Planning begins for Stittsville’s Kidney Walk Special to the News

News - Stittsville’s Kidney Walk hopes to be bigger than ever this year. The planning committee for this year’s Kidney Walk in Stittsville met on Friday evening, June 6 at Pap Sam’s at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Beverly Street for dinner and an opening discussion about the Kidney Walk in Stittsville this September. There was discussion about reaching out to surrounding communities such as Richmond, Carp, Munster and Carleton Place to encourage participation by teams from these areas. Bruce Hill, senior development manager for the Eastern Ontario Chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, was at the meeting and took the opportunity to present Papa Sam’s owner Nizam Khatib with a certifica-

tion of appreciation for his support of the Kidney Walk in Stittsville in its initial two years. Papa Sam’s is the half way point on the walk which starts at the Stittsville United Church and goes along Stittsville Main Street to Beverly Street. Papa Sam’s supports the walk by providing free ice cream for all of the walkers before they head back to the church on the second half of the walk. There is a BBQ and Fun Day Sunday party at the church following the walk. At the meeting, the organizing committee members discussed lessons learned from the 2013 Kidney Walk and what can be done again this year. There was a discussion on how to grow the Walk this year. Roles and responsibilities were decided upon and a “to do” list for the 2014 Walk was created.

Carp Road Widening Open House #3 The City of Ottawa is hosting its third open house to bring forward recommendations on the Carp Road Widening project on Tuesday, June 17th at Holy Spirit Catholic School (1383 Stittsville Main Street) from 6:30 to 9:00pm. The Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study is being undertaken to determine the best way to move traffic in and out of Stittsville and ultimately to the Highway 417 interchange at Carp Road. The City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP 2013) identifies the need for the widening of Carp Road from two lanes to four lanes between Highway 417 and Hazeldean Road as a Phase 2 project to be completed between 2020 and 2025. At the second public open house held in February 2014, the Study Team presented a Preliminary Preferred Design for Carp Road that included roundabout intersections, a narrow raised median between roundabouts, and, a multiuse pathway on both sides of the corridor. Having regard for public input, the Study Team has re-evaluated the alternatives, placing a greater emphasis on providing for adjacent site access and on minimizing property requirements. This third Open House will provide an overview of the study progress to-date, including a Recommended Plan for the corridor. This Recommended Plan now includes a central two-way left-turn lane in some sectors, intermittent medians, and a multi-use pathway along both sides of the corridor. Your participation in Open House meetings is important where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Further information on the Carp Road Widening EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/carproad Jock Trail Bridge Repairs For residents along Jock Trail, please note that we will be doing some repair work on the Jock Trail Bridge this summer. The contract has been awarded to Lischer Construction, off of Carp Road, and construction is scheduled to be completed by August 15th, 2014.

Fleming Fitness hosting tournament for Brain Injury Association Special to the News

Sports - A Stittsville based business, Fleming Fitness, has organized a charity golf tournament for the Brain Injury Association of the Ottawa Valley. The tournament, with a four-person team best-ball scramble format, is being held for the first time on Thursday, June 19 at the Loch March Golf & Country Club on Old Carp Road in rural Kanata. Fleming Fitness is owned by Stittsville resident Patrick Fleming who is a former Canadian Football League player including time with the former Ottawa Renegades. He earned a football scholarship to Bowling Green State University in the United States where he studied kinesiology and majored as an exercise specialist. He went on to play for five seasons in the Canadian Football League. He now operates Fleming Fitness, a mobile personal training company and private studio which works with a variety of clientele from healthy to severely injured individuals. Patrick and his team of certified trainers work with many different types of injuries. Pat himself is a registered kinesiologist through the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario and also is a Corrective Exercise Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the NSCA Certification Commission and a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise. Pat, who was on Rogers Daytime TV last Monday publicizing the upcoming tournament, has lined up several major sponsors for the tournament including McNally/Gervan Lawyers; Swanson & Associates, Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitation; Nicholson Read, Personal Injury Lawyers; and Tierney Stauffer

LLP, Lawyers. The tournament will start with registration at 10:30 a.m., followed by a lunch at 11 a.m. The shotgun start is at 12 noon with a windup dinner and social time at 5:30 p.m. Entry fees are $150 for a single golfer (includes lunch, green fees, cart and dinner) and $525 for a foursome. Single golfers will be placed with others to form a team. All levels of golfers are welcome. For more information or to register, please contact Pat Fleming at 613-882-8434. The tournament is now about 85 percent full but there is still room for more but you should act quickly to assure a spot. A full field of 144 golfers will raise about $20,000 for the Brain Injury Association of the Ottawa Valley. Pat serves many clients who have been injured and some have suffered from brain injuries due to accidents and other situations. Pat had always wanted to organize a charity golf tournament and his experience working with some of his clients who have suffered brain injuries combined with his awareness of the Brain Injury Association of the Ottawa Valley and its need for funding convinced him that his charity tournament should raise funds for the Association. In addition, Pat had been around head injuries during his years of playing football at both the college and professional levels. This has let him understand the effects that a brain injury can cause. He himself has suffered from concussions as has former teammates and friends. “We’re still learning much about the effects of brain injuries,” he points out in an email. At the dinner winding up the tournament, a feature video will be shown telling the story of one of Pat’s clients who suffered a catastrophic brain injury. He was in a coma for weeks

Pat Fleming of Fleming Fitness of Stittsville and was paralyzed from his brain trauma. His family was told that he would never be able to speak, read or write again. Yet, today he can walk, jog, golf and do those things that he was supposed to be unable to do ever again. So, there are success stories – there are advances being made. But more needs to be done and funding is always a challenge. That’s why this tournament in support of the Brain Injury Association of the Ottawa Valley is so important and can make a difference. Fleming Fitness works with both healthy clients and injured clients. For health clients, Fleming Fitness focuses on weight manage-

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

The Child and Family Services Act does not identify an age when a child can be left alone, or an age at which a child can supervise or babysit other children. The Act recognizes that age alone is not a sufficient safeguard for the supervision of children. A person who has charge of a child less than 16 years of age cannot leave the child without making provision for his/her care or supervision that is reasonable under the circumstances.

WATER SAFETY There is nothing quite as refreshing as a dip in the pool – or lake – on a scorching hot day. However, there are heightened safety precautions to take when it comes to children around any body of water. Always keep children within arms’ reach, in and around the water. Make sure they wear lifejackets or person flotation devices in and around the water. Most importantly, never leave a child alone, whether it’s in a swimming pool, lake, river, or bathtub. Speaking of tubs, children under the age of five should never use a hot tub – not even with an adult. Hot tubs are far too hot for young children, may contain large amounts of bacteria, and the drain in the hot tub can be a hazard to small kids.

Pedal-to-pedal in ‘Lap the Gats’ race Special to the News

News - Stittsville chiropractor Dr. Jim Moore and his wife Carol Moore, who is a massage therapist, went pedal-to-pedal at the “Lap the Gats” bicycle fundraising charity

race in the Gatineau Hills on Saturday, May 31. “Lap the Gats” is a fundraising event to raise funds for the Parkinson’s Research Consortium. In this year’s inaugural event, 216

riders ended up raising $80,000. The three-hour event consisted of cycling the 22 kilometer loop in the Gatineau Hills, a route that including climbing to the Champlain lookout as many times as the participants could within the three hours. Cyslists as teams or individual

riders were encouraged to create personal competitions to gather in more pledges. For Dr. Moore and Carol Moore, it was a race against each other, with pledges being collected from staff and clients in Dr. Moore’s office on Hazeldean Road. In the end, over

$1,000 was raised. In the racing, Dr. Moore and Carol went head to head with Carol, thanks to a better conditioning regime, emerging as the winner. It was all for a good cause with Parkinson’s research as the real winner in the event.

creation of Goodwood Lodge in 1863 and even earlier than that, as the history of Masonry in Richmond dates back to the very first days of settlement. For the first three years of Richmond’s existence, 1818, 1819 and 1820, those who were Masons among the early settlers met under the auspices of a military Charter or Warrant which had initially been issued in 1798 and had since that time been cancelled in Ireland, but this did not deter the Richmond settlers from using its authority for their Masonic activity. When it could not be legalized, the Masons in Richmond applied for and received a Charter dated April 29, 1821, from The Grand Masonic Convention at Kingston. With this Charter, a Richmond Masonic Lodge came into being. James Fallon was the first Worshipful Master, with Garrett Fitzgerald as the Senior Warden and Sergeant Andrew Hill as the Junior Warden. This early Masonic Lodge in Richmond met at the Masonic Coat of Arms Tavern which was where the Duke of Richmond had stayed and had attended a banquet on the night before he died after his visit to Richmond in 1819. This early Richmond Ma-

sonic Lodge ceased in 1846 and Masons in Richmond travelled to Kemptville or North Gower or Ottawa to attend Lodge meetings. Some joined Doric Lodge in Ottawa, and it is these Masons who eventually brought about the creation of Goodwood Masonic Lodge in Richmond as of September 29, 1863. This Lodge met initially at Rielly’s Hotel, but in 1866, a Masonic Lodge room was rented from Patrick McElroy about his store at the corner of Strachan Street and McBean Street in Richmond. About 1880, the Lodge relocated to a wooden building owned by Hugh Rielly on Murray Street near Perth Street. The Goodwood Lodge purchased a vacant lot on McBean Street in 1912. It had been the site of a Methodist Church which had been built in 1877 but destroyed by fire in 1900. The Methodist Church then rebuilt farther north along McBean Street on the site of the present-day St. Paul’s United Church. In 1919, the present-day Goodwood Masonic Lodge was completed and became the home of the Goodwood Lodge, a situation which continues until this day.

News - Don Gillen has been honoured and thanked for providing 30 years of music to St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. A celebration honouring Mr. Gillen, the church organist, for his 30 years of musical service to church was held at the church last Sunday, June 8. Parishioners gathered at a potluck luncheon after the 10:30 a.m. service for the celebration. A number of former choir members were in attendance to honour Mr. Gillen. Rev. Jane McCaig presented Mr. Gillen with a mahogany clock engraved with the words “Thank you for 30 years of music” which was accompanied by a generous cheque from funds contributed by grateful parishioners. Mr. Gillen was hired as the church organist at St. Thomas Anglican Church back in 1984 when the church was still a small brick building facing Stittsville Main Street which now serves as the premises for the church offices. In 1984, the church had been looking for an organist. Don Gillen was playing with a youth group at the time and he was recommended for the organist position by a choir member, Shirley Frey, to the church’s priest at the time, Canon Stephen Kenward. Don was hired and has played at the church ever since. He also has accompanied the children’s choir, the Campanella Choir, on the piano. When Don first started, he used to have to travel to Christ Church Ashton on Christmas Eve as did the priest and then come back to play for the services at St. Thomas in Stittsville. Sometimes, he recalled, the roads were not very good because of snow and ice, making for a dif-

ficult trip. At the celebration last Sunday, Don was praised for his good humour, his faithful service and the beautiful music that he has chosen since he took over direction of the church choir in the last few years. Rev. McCaig noted that Mr. Gillen is very easy to work with and she thanked him for his musical contribution to the life of St. Thomas over the past three decades.

‘Spring Into Summer’ horse show at Westar Farms Special to the News

News - It’s a class called the Grand Prix Medal and it’s not found at any other horse show in the area. But it will be a special class this Sunday afternoon, June 15 as the twoday “Spring Into Summer” horse show at Westar Farms on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville wraps up. In this Grand Prix Medal class, riders of varying levels of skill and achievement get the opportunity to ride in the Grand Prix or jumper ring,

something that many have never done before. In this Grand Prix Medal class, the performance of the riders is evaluated as they demonstrate a variety of skills with their horses or ponies, both jumping jumps and performing figures. The class has multiple sections to accommodate the varying levels of experience among the riders, all the way from intermediate to advanced. Prizes and ribbons will be awarded in each

section and there will also be overall awards. But this Grand Prix Medal class will be one of only numerous classes which will be part of this “Spring Into Summer” horse show this Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15 at the Westar Farms equestrian centre on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville. Competitive classes will take place on both days, running from 8 a.m. to about 4 p.m. Riders and their mounts will perform in classes in four show rings each day, so you know that there is going to be plenty of ongoing action to view. There will be classes involving small ponies right through to classes for big horses. Riders will rang from youngsters right through to adults. Some classes in this horse show will be judged on style and smooth performance in the ring, jumping over a sequence of natural-looking obstacles. These are the hunter classes. In some respects, this is much like what happens in figure skating competitions. However, in other classes, namely the jumper classes, the key for the competitor is getting over the brightly coloured

jumps in the fastest time possible, with the fewest faults or knock-downs. In some respects, this is much like what happens in slalom skinning. There will be refreshments available on site, so you can plan to spend a few hours there if you wish. There is plenty of shade under the maple trees on site. There are bleachers for spectators or you can bring along your own lawn chair and pick out a favourite spot for viewing the action in the rings. Spectators are welcome and admission is free – another reason to make it a destination event either this coming Saturday or Sunday. This Sunday, June 15 is Father’s Day and this will be recognized with a special draw for prizes for dads. This “Spring Into Summer” Trillium and Bronze horse show is the first of three horse shows that will be held at Westar Farms this year. The annual “Horse Lovers Weekend” will take place on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20 while the “Double Double” horse show will happen on Saturday, Sept. 6. Both also have free admission and are great opportunities to wit-

ness some equestrian action right close to home. More horse show information can be found at the Westar Farms website at www. westarfarms.ca . There is even a spectator guide on the website with information helpful

for those who are not that familiar with equestrian sport. Westar Farms is located on the south side of Fernbank Road between Munster Road and Dwyer Hill Road, just west of the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club.

Committee for Richmond’s 200th anniversary John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A committee with representation from numerous groups in the community is being formed to organize events and celebrations surrounding Richmond’s 200th anniversary in 2018. The Richmond Village Association (RVA) agreed to convene a meeting to launch this committee, with organizations and groups in the village to be encouraged to send a representative to the meeting. At a community roundtable meeting which the RVA hosted at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall on Wednesday, June 4, all of the groups present – the RVA, Richmond Agricultural Society, Richmond District Lions Club, Goulbourn Township Historical Society, Goulbourn Museum, Goulbourn Kiwanis Club and Richmond Legion – agreed to participate in such a committee. RVA president Tino Bevacqua suggested that 2018 could impact Richmond like the Olympics do for host cities, with funding and activities leading to legacy structures from which the community can benefit. In Richmond’s case, this might be new community meeting space or an electronic sign board or a skateboard park or a new playground. The new Richmond Residents for Community Space group is concerned about the lack of community space in the village as well as the lack of youth programming. With growth coming to the village with draft plan approval of a 750 home development on the village’s western development lands, there is a concern that the community’s existing facilities will be overwhelmed, making the current situation even more inadequate. Rev. Michel Dubord pointed out to those at the meeting that the celebration of the village’s 200th anniversary of its founding is one matter but that there is another issue that needs addressing and that is developing a vision for the village. It was pointed out that the Richmond Community Design Plan will be up for review in the year 2015 and this would be an occasion when a vision for the village could be refined and enunciated. The roundtable meeting attracted about 40 members of the public as well as representatives from the eight organizations that were formally invited and who made presentations at the meeting. “We’re here to have a conversation,” RVA president Tino Bevacqua said at the opening of the meeting, noting that the meeting was being held to help local organizations get acquainted with each other’s goals

Working together on the 2018 celebrations should result in doing a better overall job, he said. John Shearer, speaking on behalf of the RVA, explained that the RVA had two areas of interest in its mandate: promoting village identity and pride and advocating to the city on matters of interest to residents. RVA activities include a village spring cleanup, the village-wide garage sale day, the upcoming Family Fun Day, a float in the Richmond Fair parade, Winter Wonderland banners, Lighting of the Park and the Santa Claus parade. Dale Greene, secretary and general manager of the Richmond Agricultural Society, told those at the meeting that the organization’s 170th fair is coming up this year, one of 220 fairs in Ontario associated with the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies. He explained that the Richmond fairgrounds are a busy place, with events such as a dog show, horse shows and campers on site for events like the recent fiddle and stepdance competition in Richmond. Richmond District Lions Club president Chris Lalonde gave a rundown of the numerous projects and activities which the Lions Club has done over the 50 years since its formation in 1964. This has ranged from helping develop what is now called Lions Park in Richmond to making donations to local hospitals. The Lions Christmas Cheer initiative has raised almost $80,000 over the past 15 years. Goulbourn Township Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell said that the Society’s membership includes those who

want to support work involving local history or want to maintain ties with Goulbourn Township through the Society’s newsletter. The Historical Society has erected plaques at several Richmond historical buildings such as St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and Dr. Robert Chanonhouse’s home. The Historical Society collects family and social histories related to Goulbourn and maintains archives at both the Richmond and Stittsville library branches. The Historical Society does on occasion issue publications such as “Goulbourn Stained Glass” telling the story of the stained glass windows in Goulbourn’s churches. The Historical Society also sponsors an annual Heritage Photo Contest. The Goulbourn Museum exists to disseminate knowledge of the history of Goulbourn, said Kathryn Jamieson, curatormanager of the Museum. In relations to Richmond’s 200th anniversary, the Goulbourn Museum hopes to unveil a new exhibit about Richmond, to launch educational programs about the anniversary and to conduct further research. She pointed out that the Museum had focused on the War of 1812 for the past two years, noting that the 100th Regiment which provided many of the early settlers in Richmond and Goulbourn played a role in the War of 1812. This year the Museum has turned it attention to the First and Second World Wars and how they impacted Goulbourn township. The two World Wars will be the focus of a Father’s Day event being held at the Museum this coming Sunday, June 15.

The Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn has done much in Richmond over the years. It operated a used book store at the Richmond Plaza for years and held annual Christmas dinners for seniors. It has sponsored a car show on Labour Day at the Richmond Plaza for the past two decades, presents annual awards in memory of Club member Hal Yetts at area schools and has given financial assistance to the mural project on the exterior walls of the Richmond Memorial Community Centre. Brian Goss, outgoing president of the Richmond Legion, told the meeting that the Legion’s mandate is Remembrance and veteran’s services. A secondary mandate is helping the community which is done by sponsoring minor sports teams, for instance. The Legion holds an annual Remembrance Day poster, poetry and essay contest related to Remembrance. Mr. Goss pointed out that a person does not have to have a military background or military connection in order to join the Royal Canadian Legion. Membership is open to everyone. He said that the Richmond Legion would support the village’s 200th anniversary in any way that it could, such as providing colour parties for parades, holding a service at the cenotaph, making its hall available for events and using its expertise in holding barbecues. He also suggested that a vacant acre of land at the rear of the Legion Hall on Ottawa Street might be a location for a community building or facility. This site will be surrounded by homes in coming years as development occurs on the village’s western development lands.

It’s entertainment of a different sort but Little Ray’s Reptiles will be presenting two shows, one at 4 p.m. and one at 6 p.m. But this is not all. There will be rides and games for the kids.

The Stittsville Scouts will have archery and other activities set up for all to enjoy. The Country Farm petting zoo will be on site and there will be hay rides provided by Holly Brook Farm.

These Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville are organized by the Stittsville Village Association.

Lots of plans in seeking approval John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There’s lot of plans involved as Waste Management applies for Environmental Compliance Approval from the provincial government for its new landfill site, called the West Carleton Environmental Centre, on Carp Road just north of highway 417. There’s a Landscape Development Plan, an Environmental Monitoring Plan, an Air Quality Monitoring Plan, a Noise Monitoring Plan, a Forest compensation Plan and a Wetland Enhancement Plan. In addition, Waste Management is pledging to follow Best Management Practices. There’s Atmospheric Best Management Practices covering dust, landfill gas, combustion by-products, noise, landfill construction, waste water, chemical storage use and handling and solid waste acceptance and handling. Then there’s Groundwater Best Management Practices which cover road and parking area maintenance, imported fill, fires, erosion and sediment control and structural and inspection measures. Waste Management held an open house regarding its draft Environmental Compliance Approval applications for this West Carleton Environmental Centre on Wednesday evening, June 4 at the NeXT Restaurant in Stittsville. A number of display boards dealing

with the various aspects of the application such as the various plans and best management practices were set up around the room. In addition, there were Waste Management personnel and consultants on hand to respond to any questions about the information on the display boards. Another open house about this Environmental Compliance Approval application for the West Carleton Environmental Centre will be held on Thursday, June 26 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the NeXT Restaurant at the corner of Hazeldean Road and West Ridge Drive in Stittsville. The Environmental Compliance Approval being sought by Waste Management is for a new landfill that will accept up to 400,000 metric tones of waste per year, with a total capacity of 6.5 million cubic metres. Hours of operation are proposed to be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. There will be ten phases used in developing the total landfill. The traffic impact assessment accompanying the application notes the need for a northbound left turn lane leading into the site, based on existing and forecasted site traffic. The access will be a new one in the vicinity of the existing Laurysen Kitchens access off Carp Road. The application proposes limiting the size of the active working face of the landfill to 900 square metres. In ad-

dition, this landfill working face will have to be covered daily with appropriate cover materials in order to reduce odour emissions and landfill gas emissions. There will be two storm water ponds and two infiltration basins associated with the new landfill, all at the east end of the landfill between the landfill and the Carp Road. Surface water from both the new landfill and the existing, now closed landfill will be directed to these storm water ponds and related infiltration basins. The storm water ponds will allow for setting of particles in the water. The water will then flow into an infiltration basin where it will infiltrate back into the ground with some evaporating. With the use of these storm water ponds and related infiltration basins, there will be no surface runoff leaving the site from either the old or the new landfill. All of the surface water drainage from the two landfills will be handled on site with the water mostly returned back into the ground through the infiltration basins. Comments about Waste Management’s proposed Environmental Compliance Approval application should be directed to the Waste Management Project Office, 254 Westbrook Road, Carp, ON K0A 1L0. The phone number is 613-831-2849. The Waste Management website can be found at http:// wcec.wm.com .

News - Art done by some of Ottawa’s youth currently is being featured at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The art, done by 11 artists who participated in the recent Young at Art juried exhibition sponsored by the city of Ottawa, will be on display at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery until the end of June. These 11 artists are but a few of those who participated in the annual Young at Art exhibition. Space constraints limited the number of young artists who could be invited

to show their work at the Stittsville library. This art on display at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery is not necessarily those who won in the Young at Art exhibition. Rather, it is art which is meant to demonstrate an originality in concept and a skillful execution from a technical point of view. The 11 youth artists whose work is on exhibition now at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville library are Jordan Waito with a casting entitled “Owl”; Jack Murphy with a 3D mask; Colin Lo with a 3D mask; Darien Drevniok with a R0012749350_0612

Ashton Horse 4H Club meets

Lindsay Wiggins

Special to the News

News – The Ashton Horse 4H Club is once again in full swing. The initial meeting saw Eliana de LimaVentresca elected as president with Jamie Barclay elected as vice-president. Lindsay Wiggins is secretary and press reporter. The Club is led by Carleton County 4H president Kelly Barclay and Trudi Simpson. After the elections and a fun game of horse pictionary, the members enjoyed

some baked goods. The focus of the Club’s second meeting was showmanship with a view to the endof-the-year show in August. Members practices a simple pattern with their horses and learned how to present themselves and their 4H animal. Showmanship is judged on the presentation of the exhibitor, presentation of the horse and performance on the ground. Part of the training which Ashton Horse 4H Club members receive during the summer is instruction in how to judge animals or items, ranking them in order from the best downwards and giving reasons for do-

ing so. 4H Clubs like the Ashton Horse 4H Club offer a safe environment that fosters personal growth and development for youth. 4H encourages team collaboration, peerto-peer support and independent learning. Leaders guide members through activities and yet provide members with the freedom to make their own mistakes and to assist one another in the learning process. 4H is based on a “Learn To Do By Doing” philosophy. Youth aged 9 to 21 years and volunteer leaders come together to create a 4H Club where members learn about a selected topic through hands-on activities and mentorship.

Becky Scott demonstrates the spinning of mohair and wool at the Doors Open Ottawa event at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners last Saturday.

News – It’s an obstacle course that you won’t want to miss, especially fathers and sons and especially on Father’s Day. It’s a military style obstacle course that will be set up in the wooded area beside the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, June 15, which is Father’s Day. The Canadian military is helping in setting up the course, so you know that it will be challenging but also a lot of fun. You won’t want to miss it and it is not restricted to just dads and son – daughters and mothers will also be able to take a go at it. It will be set up for the “Homegrown Heroes” free Father’s Day event which is happening this Sunday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. It will be commemorating two significant wartime anniversaries – the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War. At this event, the Museum will be launching a new exhibit that tells the story of how these two World Wars impacted the social history of Goulbourn township. The display will tell about the changing role of women at that time as well as about the wartime economy and the evolution of the family at that time. “Homegrown Heroes” will feature military groups, demonstrators and re-enactors. You will also be able to examine a World War Two jeep and will have the opportunity to transmit a live message via Morse Code with assistance from members of the Morse Telegraph Club and the Cumberland Telegraph Operator’s Club.

One item in the Goulbourn Museum’s collection that you should make a point of seeing is a Mark 1 steel helmet. Now, almost a century after it was first used, it is still possible to see a blue circle and green rectangle painted on the front of this steel helmet, indicating its user served with the 38th Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force of Ottawa. Before the First World War, providing helmets to soldiers was not a common happening. Most nations went to war with their soldiers wearing cloth caps that provided no protection from the weaponry that the soldiers would encounter in the First World War. By June 1915, it was decided that a steel helmet was essential for soldiers encountering trench warfare. It was John L. Brodie who developed a helmet to protect a soldier from shell shrapnel, rocks and soil thrown up by artillery fire. This “Brodie” helmet reduced casualties but its design was criticized. This led to the development of the 1916 Mark 1 steel helmet like the one now in the collection at the Goulbourn Museum. This improved design included a folded rim, a two-part adjustable liner and paint finished with sand, sawdust or crushed cork to give the steel surface a dull, no-reflective appearance. In addition, those attending this “Homegrown Heroes” event at the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, June 15 will be able to add the name of a loved one to the Museum’s Memorial Tree. This is a new addition to the Museum site that was generously donated by the Fallowfield Tree Farm. See MUSEUM, page 40

ADVERTORIAL

Downtown Carleton Place combines traditional setting with modern lifestyle It may seem like a sleepy town, with tree-lined streets, historic architecture and the meandering Mississippi River winding through its centre. But look a little closer and you’ll find Carleton Place is anything but just a bedroom community. Nestled in the picturesque Ottawa Valley about a half hour west of Ottawa on the new fourlane Highway 7, this community of 10,000 is a thriving hub of activity. “Carleton Place is a pleasing collage of serenity and vitality, texture and energy,” says Business Improvement Area (BIA) Project Manager Cathie McOrmond. “Like the Mississippi River, Carleton Place is fresh and creative, beautiful and ever-changing.” It’s a thriving community that offers a full roster of activities year round. From the Halloween Maskeraid parade and Free Comic Book Day in May, to the largest Santa Claus parade in the area, the town prides itself in its homespun atmosphere. “Summer is a busy time in Carleton Place. We have festivals, walking tours, concerts, dragon boat races and much more,” points out Cathie. Saturday June 21 is the next edition of the BIA Lambs Down Park Festival, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In partnership with the Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers, activities focus on the grounds at 142 Franktown Rd. There will be demonstrations in sheep shearing, wool spinning, a petting zoo, a wide variety of food venders and other displays, rain or shine. “It is a fun day for the whole family,” says Cathie. “The event has grown with more activities each year.” Two fundraising walks are also attached to the day, with recipients Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and People First, a local charity that aids people with disabilities. Canada Day July 1 rivals any celebration in the area with a huge fireworks display to cap a full day of family-oriented fun. For the downtown merchants, the big event of the year falls on Saturday August 2 from 9 a.m. to

4 p.m. when the BIA presents the 9th annual Bridge Street Bazaar. The downtown is closed to vehicles so that vendors can take to the streets to create a festival like no other. “This is so much more than a sidewalk sale,” says Cathie. “The street is alive with live entertainment on a stage, buskers on every corner, nearly everything you could imagine on a street.” The day starts with a traditional pancake breakfast hosted by the local Masonic Lodge, followed by dance demonstrations, games, colourful talent shows and great food. Also taking place in the summer is the Music in the Market program. This youth-oriented series features professional entertainers like Juno winners Splash ‘N Boots, Junkyard Symphony, Andrew McDougal and Eccentric Adam. Shows run on alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 6:30 p.m. The Market is also home to a

Carleton Place is a pleasing collage of serenity and vitality, texture and energy… Farmers’ Market every Saturday from May to October, starting at 9 a.m. Vintage car buffs also get their fill of classic metal on Wednesday nights when Market Square plays host to Cruise Night. “You never know what to expect in Carleton Place,” says Cathie. “We’re full of unique surprises. That’s what makes it such a great place to come home to.” Best of all, none of the summer events charge an admission fee. And even when there are no special events to captivate and entertain, Carleton Place attracts tourists and locals with its charm and colourful history. “We have a rich history and an amazing present,” says Cathie. A stroll through the downtown reveals some of the ‘hidden’ treasures of the town. Take a tour of the Arthur Roy Brown museum, dedicated to the World War One

flying ace, or absorb the area’s culture at The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and Canada Veteran’s Hall of Valour. If weather permits, enjoy a stroll along the banks of the Mississippi and take in a game of chess on the giant outdoor board at the water’s edge. Summer means more water fun in Carleton Place. Not only is the town’s manicured sand beach lifeguard protected, but the community comes alive with a myriad of events. “With more than 185 businesses in the BIA district, our downtown offers all the attractions of a classic small town with the vibrant feel of modern businesses. We offer a unique level of customer service in each store, with warm, friendly and welcoming merchants.” For example, you can order custom, made-to-measure fashions at The Dress Shop or find soughtafter vintage collectible toys at Treasures ‘n More. There are so many ways to spend your time in Carleton Place that you eventually work up an appetite which can be satisfied by a wide range of top quality restaurants. “We have fantastic dining options,” points out Cathie. “There are international food choices from almost every corner of the world, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, British and of course Canadian too. Many feature locally-grown food.” And just like every classic small town, Carleton Place still has a bowling alley in the downtown core, not to mention all the usual services such as medical, dental, real estate, financial services, insurance, grocery stores and numerous others. “The BIA believes a community is enhanced by a vibrant and successful downtown core,” says Cathie. “By connecting the community to the downtown, we hope to strengthen the relationship and have it be strong for years to come.” To learn more about Carleton Place, check it out online at downtowncarletonplace.com or call the BIA at 613-257-8049.

Art and quilts in Around Richmond Richmond June 21 Special to the News

News - Art and quilts will be on display in Richmond on Saturday, June 21. The Richmond Village Art Club is hosting its third annual “Art in the Park� show on Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Richmond Curling Club. And the 11th annual Outdoor Quilt Show will be held on the grounds at The Country Quilter on McBean Street, also on Saturday, June 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both of these events are within walking distance of each other, so you can enjoy both with no problem. And, indeed, the famous Richmond Bakery sits between the two events, so you can drop in there for some goodies as you go from one event to the other. For the past two years, the Richmond Village Art Club has held its June art show at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in the village. But this involved pitching tents which could be buffeted by windy conditions and also depended on good weather. This year the Richmond Village Art Club has moved the art show to the upper lounge room at the Rich-

mond Curling Club on Perth Street at the fairgrounds, really just across the street from Memorial Park. Admission for this art show is free and there’s lot of parking at the Curling Club. The show will feature a variety of art from mixed media to acrylics and oils to textile art such as painted silk scarves. There will be landscapes and abstracts, all displaying the creativity and talent of local artists. Again this year, for the third straight year, Cydney Green and Ben Wightman from Royal LePage Team Realty are sponsoring the show. As for the Outdoor Quilt Show at The Country Quilter on McBean Street, it will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring a display of about 100 quilts and quilted items. There will also be a display by the Doll Guild and a charity used book sale. Scissor sharpening will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Just like the art show, admission to this quilt show is free. As an added attraction, St. Paul’s United Church beside The Country Quilter will be offering a luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. that will be open to everyone.

Dufresne Furniture

Grand Opening By David Johnston Furniture shopping will never be the same. Often considered a confusing and overwhelming predicament by many would-be buyers, The Dufresne Group has revolutionized the furniture and appliance buying experience. Gone are the endless lines of merchandise and fast talking sales people focused more on commissions than customer satisfaction. Instead, the new Dufresne Home Furnishings store at 290 West Hunt Club Road is a state-of-the-art journey of discovery into what will enhance and improve your life and style. “Our goal is to ensure our guests find the furniture, mattresses and appliances that work best for them and make their life simpler,” said Troy Davis, President TDG. “It’s about finding that perfect fit for their unique life and style, all within their budget.” Walking into the fresh, bright store is in itself an experience. You enter Inspiration Way, and are greeted by friendly staff who assist you with your own personal journey of discovery to reveal what furnishings and accessories best suit your needs. “With this new store, we went back to the drawing board,” said Davis. “We explored every corner of the shopping journey and asked ourselves how we could make the experience easier, less stressful, and ultimately, fun.” The result was “collections merchandising” rather than traditional category arrangement. The new location, carefully crafted into 23,000 square feet of showroom, features three main furniture style collections: Current Classic, Cozy Casual and Modern Chic. A couple minutes at a conveniently located computer screen allows the shopper to discover their own style and then simply stroll to that section of the well-laid out store. There they will find a myriad of choices awaiting as the My Custom concept allows buyers to match colours, fabrics, finishes, legs and much more.

“To find that perfect fit, Dufresne combines education, expertise and science into the guest experience—one that could be better described as a journey,” said Davis. “Our sales professionals take the time to get to know each guest and their specific style preferences, room situation and lifestyle needs.” First, a customer selects their “fit”, starting with the largest piece for the room, such as a sofa or dining set. Then personal creativity takes over as you can modify almost every aspect of any piece of furniture. Choose a frame and then customize it with arms from Creighton, Leeds, Marymount, Meadowridge and Ottawa. Finally, you can “refine your look” by selecting the colour and fabric that fit your décor. “Extensive custom order options and complete room solution packages with unique vertical merchandising help ensure a complete offering to the guest,” said Davis. Find your ultimate life and style by simply taking the journey. Cozy Casual is a relaxed collection, combining comfortable, over-sized pieces with warm fabrics and distressed leathers for a vintage look. Modern Chic features simple, clean lines matched with bold accents for an urban expression. Current Classics creates timeless elegance with antique-inspired designs and a sophisticated attention to detail.

Dufresne redefines furniture shopping at new Hunt Club location “You dream, we listen, and together we discover,” said Davis. And when it comes to dreaming, Davis says Dufresne has also revolutionized the art of sleeping well.

Dufresne President Troy Davis displays some of the many options available to create your custom table from the My Custom collection.

shopping. Sometimes it is hard for a person to articulate what they want or need in a mattress but the journey helps you find exactly what you are looking for. It’s not just about product and price; our focus is on providing a sleep solution that lays the foundation for a healthier life.” The same can be said for appliances. The only difference is that the journey starts with a functional assessment to determine what type of machine best suits the application. With all the top brands available, such as Kitchen Aid, Whirlpool and Maytag, the Dufresne team can easily match you to the appliance that fits best. Ottawa Dufresne franchise owner Andre Desrochers is proud of the new location, and thanked his staff and contractors for their dedication and long hours to bring the project to fruition. “We are very excited to be in this new location with such an amazing store,” said Desrochers. “A lot of effort went into making this a reality and now we are ready to launch a whole new way to buy furniture. Our visual presentation team did an amazing job and I am proud of the efforts of all my staff.” This is the second Dufresne location in Ottawa. The existing Gloucester location at 1901 Cyrville Road has also recently been renovated to match the new style of the Hunt Club store. Both stores are open Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. You can find out more about the Dufresne “collections” buying experience online at www.dufresne.ca.

“Walk the journey and take five minutes to find the best sleep of your life,” says Davis. The first step is to analyze how you sleep. With the aid of high-tech science, the staff at Dufresne reveal what you need to sleep better. Then you sample the mattresses and pillows that suit your profile. “This takes the guess work out of mattress

Lighting Your Way

to the perfect choice in furnishings, bedding and appliances, Dufresne Furniture has revolutionized the buying experience by creating a journey of discovery for the shopper.

With a snip of the ribbon the new state-of-the-art Dufresne Furniture Store was officially opened May 29 at 290 West Hunt Club Road. On hand for the ceremony were Dufresne President Troy Davis, Franchise Owner Andre Desrochers, Spokesperson Sarah Freemark, VP Kraig Hickel and Store Manager Mick Foley.

Richmond Family Fun Day at Richmond fairgrounds John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s billed as a “Family Fun Day” and that’s just what it is going to be, all happening right in Richmond. This Richmond Family Fun Day will be taking place this Saturday, June 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Richmond fairgrounds in the heart of Richmond. There will be free admission to this event which is being organized by the Richmond Village Association (RVA). The focus of the day is very much on family and family activities. “It’s about family,” says Shelley Lafleur who is heading the organization of the event for the RVA. “It’s about seniors – all ages and all gen-

erations,” she said in describing the event at a public meeting in Richmond last week. Runamok Amusements will be on site all day long (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) with a kiddie slide and carnival games. There will also be face painting, a perennial favourite for kids. Exhibits that will be on site all day long (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) will include a car show, a MX-101 Sand Del Lee display promoting the Rockstar Drink Energy Motocross Nationals that will be taking place at the track west of Richmond in July, an Ottawa Public Health exhibit with information for both youth and seniors and a display by the Goulbourn Museum. Representatives of the new 100th Regiment Historical Society will be on hand to talk about the new youth

program which it will be conducting in Richmond starting this fall, all in partnership with the Richmond Village Association. Meanwhile, in the Richmond Curling Club, there will be a gift and craft show taking place, running from 10 a.m. through to 4 p.m. There are over 30 vendors signed up, so it is going to offer a good selection of items. Infant car seat inspections will be offered from 9 a.m. through to 12 noon. This provides a great opportunity for parents in Richmond and area to have their infant car seats checked out. And there’s going to be lots of music! First up, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., it will be a Battle of the Bands featuring four youth bands – Dial

Up from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.; City Limits from 11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.; Atticus from 12 noon to 12:30 p.m.; and Twisted Iron from 12:45 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. Prize in this Battle of the Bands will be some studio recording time. The winner will be decided by a vote of those in the audience, so you will want to be there to support your favourite youth band. These youth bands will then surrender the stage to a number of adult professional bands who will perform from 1:30 p.m. through to 6 p.m. This will include Second Sight from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Keener from 2:35 p.m. to 3:35 p.m.; Full Tipped Sleeve from 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.; and Stittsville’s fonograph from 4:55 p.m. to 5:55 p.m.

This Richmond Family Fun Day will be officially launched with an opening ceremony at 10 a.m. The Duke of Richmond will be the MC for this opening ceremony which will feature words of welcome from Richmond Village Association president Tino Bevacqua and from city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt. The opening ceremony will wind up with a 20 minute performance by the South Carleton High School band. There will be lots of parking available on the fairgrounds. This Richmond Family Fun Day is being held in conjunction with the always popular annual chicken BBQ held by the Richmond firefighters at the Dining Hall at the fairgrounds.

News - The Richmond Legion paid tribute to D-Day at its annual Charter Night Dinner and Honours and Awards night at the Richmond Legion Hall last Saturday evening. At the beginning of the evening, after bagpiper Eric Booth and a colour party of Oscar Clench and Keith Thurrott had led the head table to their seats and Roger Bourgeois of the Legion had led in the singing of “O Canada,” a special “Remembering D-Day” ceremony was held, with World War Two veteran George Murphy laying a wreath in memory of D-Day, followed by a two minute silence of Remembrance. During World War Two, the battle of Nor-

mandy, which lasted from June 1944 to Aug. 1944, resulted in the liberation of Western Europe from Germany’s control by the Allied forces. This operation was code named Operation Overlord, with the battle beginning on June 6, 1944 when about 156,000 Canadian, American and British forces landed on five beaches along a 50 mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. The landings and beginning of the battle on June 6, 1944 are known as D-Day. This invasion on June 6, 1944, 70 years ago, was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and these Normandy landings were the beginning of the end of the war in Europe.

Blood donor clinic coming on June 24

grand

OPENING

Special to the News

R0012704842

News - A community blood donor clinic held by Canadian Blood Services will be held in Stittsville on Tuesday, June 24. It will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School at 1383 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. To book an appointment for this blood donor clinic, visit the website www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). There is always a need for blood donations and the need is ongoing. It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, notfor-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 per-

manent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Stittsville is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions. It often takes several donors to save someone’s life. For example, up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. As many as 50 donors, yes, 50 donors, are needed to help someone seriously hurt in a car crash. It is a fact that every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. You can help and indeed make a different by donating blood. Canadian Blood Services was created in 1998 as a successor to the Canadian Red Cross blood donation program and the Canadian Blood Agency. All blood donations at community blood donor clinics held by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood.

LAWYER’S CORNER

Carp Road widening Injured? open house June 17 Don’t wonder if you Special to the News

News - You can see what is now the plan being proposed for the four-laning of Carp Road from highway 417 to Hazeldean Road t an open house coming up next week. At this open house, which will be held on Tuesday, June 17 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, you will be able to view what is now being recommended as the plan for widening Carp Road from the present two lanes to four lanes. Last February, a design had been put forward at an open house that included roundabouts at the major intersections along this stretch of Carp Road. This has now been changed so that what is being recommended is the installation of traffic signals at the major intersections. The new plan also includes a two-way leftturn lane in some areas and intermittent medians in other sports. The new plan also included multi-use pathways along both sides of the road, just like what was included in the previous plan. It was public input received at the February open house which saw the study team involved with this Carp Road widening environmental assessment study to re-evaluate the various alternatives that were possible. The re-evaluation included placing a greater

emphasis on providing for adjacent site access and on minimizing property requirements. This environmental assessment study is being done to determine the best way to accommodate the increasing traffic along this section of Carp Road. The city’s Transportation Master Plan of 2013 identifies the need for widening Carp Road from two lanes to four lanes between highway 417 and Hazeldean Road as a phase two project which means it would be undertaken sometime between the year 2020 and the year 2025. The environmental assessment process includes the development, assessment and evaluation of various alternative designs, leading to a recommended plan that will then be presented to Ottawa city council for final approval. It is this recommended plan that will be the focus for this open house coming up on Tuesday, June 17 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville. Public input about the recommended plan is wanted and will become part of the public record pertaining to this environmental assessment. The project manager for the city of Ottawa for this environmental assessment study is senior project engineer Jabbar Siddique whoc can be contacted at Jabbar.Siddique@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2424, ext. 13914.

The Stittsville 56ers of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will host the Micksburg Twins on Wednesday, June 18 at 8:30 p.m. at the Alexander Grove diamond in Stittsville.

MARY COOK Switching churches a serious topic Mary Cook’s Memories the grape arbour. I told Audrey I didn’t want to go to one church and have her go to another. I told her about the time she was asked to sing a hymn and how I tingled from my head to my toes with pride, and how everyone said she sang like a bird, and I just knew she would be asked to sing again someday. Whose shoulder could I lean against when I nodded off during the sermon? Certainly not my brother Emerson’s. I couldn’t tell by looking at Audrey, sitting across from me in the swing, if I had been able to convince her to stay a Lutheran. I had to think of something that would leave no doubt in her mind that going to the United Church just wasn’t a good idea. Then it hit me right out of the blue. “I hear Shirley’s brother from the Barr Line is going to join the Lutheran Church. Remember how he chose your cake at the cake auction at our church? Cost him a whole quarter too. He sure had the sweets on you.” I had no idea in the world whether or not Shirley’s brother had any intention of joining the Lutheran church, but this issue called for drastic measures, and if that meant telling a little white lie, so be it. Audrey got a dreamy look in her eyes, which was a very good sign. I thought I would seal the deal by adding a bit more to the story. “Shirley said he is now old enough to drive the car too. He loves to go into Renfrew to the picture shows.” I had my fingers crossed behind my back, which was supposed to get rid of the sin of telling a lie. I sure hoped it worked, because I had no idea if Shirley’s family even owned a car -- they came to church in a horse and buggy. Well, that did the trick. Audrey put her head back in the swing, and pushed the boards gently with her feet, and the swing squeaked back and forth in a steady rhythm. I knew she was thinking of trips into Renfrew to the picture show, and Shirley’s brother sitting in a pew in the Lutheran Church. Joining the United Church was never mentioned again.

Lifestyle - “Being Lutheran is no fun,” Audrey said for the umpteenth time that morning. Mother let out a loud sigh, and I knew what was coming next, because my sister on the rare occasions she even bothered to discuss with me anything the least bit serious, had talked about this very thing. “Why can’t we have more Sunday picnics like the Uniteds? Beatrice said there are at least two more picnics this summer, and we Lutherans have yet to have even one.” Audrey was wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table, and she was rubbing so hard I thought she was going to rub out the checked red and white pattern. Then she took the argument even further by suggesting she saw no reason why she couldn’t go to the United Church and the rest of the family stay Lutheran. Well, that tore it. Mother sat Audrey down at one end of the table, just by pointing her finger to the nearest chair, and she sat at the other end. There was nothing I liked better than a good heated discussion, and I knew I was about to witness a dandy. Nothing bothered Mother more than to have one of us argue about going to church. Even though we came from what Aunt Lizzie called a divided household, to Mother going to the Lutheran church every Sunday was just as important as doing the washing on Monday’s and having our weekly bath on Saturday night. There were no questions asked as far as going to church was concerned, and only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away. Mother told Audrey you didn’t go to church to have fun. You were there to learn about the bible, and listen to a good message. I thought it was a good time to bring up the subject of our divided household, since we were talking church and all. I had no idea what it meant when Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina one time and as well as declaring Mother as “not being of the best farm material she had ever seen,” she also said Mother created what was called a divided household for her brother - my father. So I dared to ask, what was a divided household? Mother ignored my question, but my sister Audrey jumped right in and said, “It means Father is a Lutheran, and Mother is a Catholic.” Well, that was all news to me. The nearest Catholic church was in Renfrew and not once did we ever go to a church service in the Catholic church in Renfrew. How could Mother be a Catholic and not go to church every Sunday? Now, she did have a rosary, and she wouldn’t eat meat on Fridays, and on occasion I did see her cross herself, but that’s as far as it went. Why, we often sang on the street corner with the Salvation Army band in Renfrew -- did that make us Salvation Army members? Anyway, as far as Mother was concerned the discussion was over, and Audrey and I headed for the swing in

tender, about five minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the gravy, wine (if you’re using it), rosemary and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for two minutes to blend the flavours. Remove the pan from the heat, discard the rosemary and keep warm. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. In a medium bowl, stir together the potatoes and oil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Place potatoes on a greased rectangular grill topper or in flat grill basket in single layer. Place on a covered grill over mediumhigh heat for six to nine minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally. Place the potatoes in a 20-centimetre (eight-inch) round or square disposable foil container. Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the potatoes with cheese curds and return them to the grill to cook, covered, until the cheese is slightly melted -- about three minutes. Serve on individual plates and drizzle each with two to three (25 to 45 mL) of gravy or serve in a container drizzled with most of the gravy, leaving some for those who like lots. Sprinkle with green onion.

‘Holes for Hospice’ tournament Special to the News

News - Friday, Sept. 12 will be the date for the fourth annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice� golf tournament this year. In the past three years, this tournament has raised over $150,000 in total for the Hospice Care Ottawa capital campaign to establish a residential hospice in Kanata to serve residents of the west Ottawa area. The tournament will be held once again at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in rural Kanata. The “best ball� tournament will get underway with a 12 noon shotgun start, preceded by a lunch beginning at 10:30 a.m. The awards dinner will follow the tournament. Lennox Sterling, a Richmond resident, received end-of-life care at a hospice in Ottawa. This made ensuring more hospice beds in the Ottawa area a cause of importance to Lennox’s family and friends which brought about this annual tournament as a fundraising initiative to help create these beds. Hospice care allows a person to die in dignity in a home-like setting. All hospice care is provided free of charge. The funds raised at this tournament are going towards making the dream of more hospice beds in Ottawa a reality. At last year’s tournament, the purchase of a

new west end site for a hospice at 110 McCurdy Drive in Kanata was announced. This past March, renovations were completed to the existing building on the site in order to provide ofďŹ ce space for Hospice Care Ottawa staff at this newly-named Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice. A capital campaign with a six million dollar goal is now more than halfway to its goal. It is anticipated that an addition to include ten hospice beds will be constructed in 2016. The funds raised at this tournament will be going to this capital campaign as in the past. Registration fee for participating in the tournament is $250 per person. A $100 income tax receipt will be issued for each person. New players are most welcome. There are also corporate sponsorship opportunities available. These include the dinner, the lunch, a golf hole, the cocktail hour, loot bags, golf carts and dinner wine. All platinum, golf and silver level sponsorships include the corporate name and logo on all print and promotional materials, the corporate name and logo on the tournament banner and recognition at the closing dinner. For more information, please contact cochair Ian McLaren at 613-614-7442 or co-chair Kathleen Sterling at 613-292-7684.

James Robert “Bobby� Grainger

GIBBONS, Robert (Bob) Allan Passed away on Wednesday, May 28 at The Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, B.C. Born in Victoria on July 22, 1931, Bob was the son of the late Thomas and Sabina (McCleary) Gibbons. A quiet and humble man, Bob was profoundly generous, kind, and courageous. Those who befriended him and had the privilege of knowing him loved him dearly. He was passionate about his children and grandchildren. He was a loving father to Michael (Diana), Victoria (Thomas), and Robert (Angela) and a proud grandfather to Sarah, Christopher, Bobby, Shannon, Nolan, Kyle (Melissa), Nick, and Jarrett. He will be missed by his sister Donna (the late Donald Pimlott), his nephew Dan, and his niece Diana, all of whom he cherished. For his retirement, Bob’s love of the ocean and milder climate brought him back from Kanata, where he was a long-term resident, to Victoria. Bob was proud of his long service in the Royal Canadian Navy. He was a long-time member of the Kanata Golf Club and the Uplands Golf Club in Victoria, B.C. Bob was an avid golfer who passed down this passion to his children. A sincere thank you to the staff and residents at Berwick House, where Bob resided for the past ďŹ ve years. Bob volunteered for many charities, including the ALS and Cancer Agencies. His service was held Saturday, June 7th, 2014 at First Memorial Funeral Services in Saanich, B.C. Donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Motorcycle ride fundraiser ‘Rally Fur Paws’ on July 5 Special to the News

News - Motorcycles and people with disabilities. They may seem pretty far apart but that is not the case. Proof of this is the Rally Fur Paws that is coming up on Saturday, July 5. The Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street is going to be the start and finish point for this motorcycle ride fundraiser for service dogs to help veterans with such issues as diabetes, blindness, mobility and PTSD. There are five Legions that will be involved in this charity ride as there will be observation skills, sports contests and other games at each of the Legion stopping points on the approximately 200 kilometer route. Other Legion branches involved in this Rally Fur Paws besides the Stittsville Legion are the Legions in Carleton Place, Constance Bay, Manotick and Kanata. Volunteers from each branch will be helping with the event. Motorcycles will be the primary vehicles used in this Rally Fur Paws ride but cars may also participate in order to allow non-riders and

youngsters to participate. The parade marshal will be Jody Mitic, a double amputee veteran who amazingly still rides his own motorcycle. He gained fame as a participant on the Amazing Race Canada show. At the conclusion of the ride back at the Stittsville Legion, participants will be able to enjoy a barbecue. A classic rock band “Men ‘n Pause” will be performing from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and a live demonstration of trained canine skills will be given at 3 p.m. The event winners will be tallied and announced at an appropriate time. There are a number of riding groups with military connections in Ottawa but one of the newest of these is actually celebrating its 30th anniversary in August. The Defenders started as a service group at CFB Borden in 1984 and currently there are eight chapters including one now in Ottawa. It is The Defenders who are sponsoring this Rally Fur Paws event in support of “dogs for vets.” For more information, go to the facebook page Rally Fur Paws.

56ers come back from 7-2 deficit Sports - Down 7-2 at one point, the Stittsville 56ers fought back and squeaked out a 10-9 win over the Kars Aces in Greater Ottawa Fastball League action at Alexander Grove in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, June 4. After the 56ers scored the opening run of the game, Kars roared out to a 4-1 lead in the third inning thanks to a towering home run over the left field fence – and lights – by Cory Alkerton. After the 56ers got one back, Kars had another big inning, scoring three runs, helped by some loose play in the field by the 56ers. So, the 56ers were facing a 7-2 deficit going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That’s when the comeback started. Three runs for the 56ers made it 7-5 as the 56ers inched closer to the Aces. But Kars was not finished. In the top of the sixth inning, Kars scored two more runs, taking a 9-5 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning. Scott Herriot drove in two runs with a double to cut the Kars lead to 9-7. Then, a wild pitch and a wild throw trying to nail an advancing runner resulted in the 56ers tying up the game 9-9. In the top of the seventh inning, the Kars Aces had runners on the corners with only one out but the 56ers got out of the inning with the

score still tied 9-9. In the home half of the seventh inning, a walk to Ryan Bond of the 56ers was followed by two fielder’s choices which put Ryan on third base. He then went on to score on a wild pitch, giving the 56ers a 10-9 victory. Darren Featherstone got the pitching victory for the 56ers. The 56ers travelled to Quyon to play the hometown Flyers last Thursday night, coming away with a 5-5 tie. Dan Konkle was on the mount for the 56ers in this game, going the distance. Scott Parsons hit a solo home run for Stittsville in this game. With the game tied 3-3, the 56ers scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning. But the 56ers could not hold this lead, as the Quyon Flyers replied with two runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh to tie up the game 5-5. As of Monday, June 9, the Stittsville 56ers are in first place in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League with eight points thanks to a record of three wins, one loss and two ties. The Micksburg Twins and Kars Aces are in second spot with six points apiece. Next come the Carp 14C Victory team with four points, the Kanata Pirates with three points, Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric with two points and Quyon Flyers with one point.

Chung, who began playing soccer at age 3 and says he fell in love with the sport instantly, previously represented Canada in the 2012 Danone Nations Cup, a 40-country event that took him to Poland. Most recently, the midfielder/striker showcased his skills for the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer during a one-week visit along with OSU Club Head Coach Paul Harris.

chairs for seating.

“That was a big highlight for me,” signals Chung, who carries hopes of playing professionally in Europe in the future. “Just to be there and around those players, it was such a big deal for me. It was amazing.” During their stint in Vancouver, the OSU pair met up with Vana Markarian, a member of Ottawa’s first Ontario Youth Soccer League-champion team last summer who joined the Whitecaps youth academy earlier this year. “This isn’t a fluke,” Harris highlights. “(Chung) isn’t the first player from our club to have a chance like this.” Other players from the OSU Force Academy who have competed for their country in the past year include Kris Twardek (U17 Czech Republic), Vana Markarian (U17 Canada) and Zoom Langwa (U16 Canada). Those trailblazers have set the stage for numerous talented OSU prospects such as Chung to move on to higher levels of play, Harris notes. Combined with one of the country’s best training atmospheres for young players to reach their soccer dreams at OSU, Chung’s work ethic has been key to building his bright future in the game, details the former Everton FC academy coach.

“We as a group have such high hopes for David, and many others within our club,” Harris indicates. “He has really excelled and he has just taken everything we have given him and hasn’t looked back.” A member of the Force’s undefeated U14 OYSL entry, Chung concurs that OSU has brought out the best in him. “It is such a good club and I am so happy to be part of it,” states the Goulbourn Middle School student. “They are so organized, everyone is so great and helpful and I can’t say enough good things on how the coaches have helped me.” Chung’s focus for the camp is on impressing another set of coaches and earning a spot on Team Canada. “I like my chances,” he says, acknowledging nonetheless that there are many other talented players who also crave a spot on the team. “I’m not nervous because I know what I am capable of. I am just going to go out and show what I’ve got.” President Bill Michalopulos added that “David is the latest OSU player to show the aptitude and determination to have an opportunity at the next level. As a club, our primary goal is to provide for and facilitate these unique opportunities to deserving OSU players and to also deliver the proper technical environment to get the best out of our players. Continuous successes in OSU players obtaining these type of opportunities indicate that the OSU Force Academy is on the right track in leading player development in Ottawa and the Province of Ontario.
