War of 1812 comes alive John Curry

War of 1812 history comes alive in, of all places, a cemetery in Ottawa. See pages 57-58

EMC news - The War of 1812 will come to life at the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, June 16. This will happen not only through the presence of a soldier from that era, dressed in period military costume complete with musket but also through a new exhibit outlining the War of 1812 experiences of the 100th Regiment of Foot, the British regiment in which many of Goulbourn’s first settlers served during the War before coming to Goulbourn with the establishment of Richmond in 1818. And the War of 1812 exploits of 12 of these Goulbourn settlers will come alive as well in the pages of a new booklet which will profile their wartime and settler experiences. And this booklet will be available free to everyone who visits the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, June 16 for this War of 1812 Tribute event. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of what will be happening at this free War of 1812 Tribute event which will run from 11 a.m. through to 4 p.m. There will be an old fashioned photo booth where visitors of all ages can don period costumes and have their photos taken as if they were living back then – a unique photographic

experience for any family. And remember, just like virtually everything at this War of 1812 Tribute, this will be free. Or what about receiving a book mark created by on-site calligraphers using handwriting script from the 1812 time period. How neat is that! There will be crafts for youngsters to do as well as oldfashioned kids’ games to play. And make sure that you brush up on your knowledge about the community museums in the city of Ottawa because the Ottawa Museum Network will be present with an interactive trivia game focused on these community museums of which the Goulbourn Museum is one. But the activities go on and on. There will be horse and wagon rides available from 12 noon to 3 p.m. You and your family will be able to climb aboard the horse-drawn wagon and enjoy a ride from the Museum down a section of Flewellyn Road and back. Again, all for free and what an experience – you’ll get to appreciate the pace of travel of that bygone era of horsepowered transportation. This War of 1812 Tribute event is also going to be the occasion when the Goulbourn Museum unveils its new “headin-the-hole” photographic setting. See TRIBUTE, page 3

Library like Iroquois longhouse John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library became an Iroquois longhouse last Saturday. Or at least that’s what it sounded like as sing-

ing like that heard in Iroquois longhouses could be heard even through the whole library thanks to an interactive drum, dance and singing workshop that was held in the branch’s meeting room. See STOMP DANCE, page 4

It has been created as a result of a competition and it will be at this War of 1812 Tribute event this Sunday, June 16 at which you will be able to stick your head in the “hole” and become part of this newly created heritage scene. There will be demonstrations on site as well, such as the presence of spinners and weavers. A Celtic band will be on hand to provide some musical entertainment. At 2:30 p.m., there will be tea, coffee and celebratory cake available, all free and all to mark this commemoration of the War of 1812 and its role in relation to Goulbourn’s history. And what event in the city of Ottawa would be complete without an appearance by mayor Jim Watson and he is expected to drop by this War of 1812 Tribute event, probably around 12 noon. What else will be happening? Oh yes, there will be a BBQ with the food served up by Bob Easy as a fundraiser for minor hockey. This means, of course, that it is not free but when you know that your contribution is going to a worthy, youth-related cause, it not only makes you feel good but the food even tastes better be-

cause you know that you are helping out. Other attractions at this War of 1812 Tribute event that are not free but are still fun things in which to participate are a silent auction and a book sale. Both of these are fundraising initiatives by the Goulbourn Museum itself so you may not only get a great item in the silent auction or find that interesting book in the used book sale but also you will be helping out the Museum and its efforts to preserve and publicize Goulbourn’s heritage. This War of 1812 Tribute event goes ahead rain or shine (hopefully in sunshine). A large tent is being erected at the Goulbourn Museum site and this, along with the Museum buildings, will provide sheltered space in the event of rain. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners which is at the intersection of Flewellyn Road and Huntley Road/Stittsville Main Street. For more information about this War of 1812 Tribute event that is happening this Sunday, June 16 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., please contact the Museum at 613-8312393 or via email at education@goulbournmuseum.ca.

The music and sounds from the drum and rattles and singing of the more than 30 workshop participants could not be contained in the meeting room as they spread throughout the library, especially when the group, doing a stomp dance, left the room and paraded around a portion of the library before returning to the room. Yes, First Nations culture was alive and well at the Stittsville library last Saturday. A great way to celebrate June as Aboriginal Month. The workshop was conducted by Rhonda Doxtator, a member of the Oneida nation from southwestern Ontario whose Oneida name is Kawisaha, which translates as “She’s carrying ice,� and also by Beany John, a member of the Plains Cree and Toino nation who hails from Kehewin, Alberta.

Rhonda explained that while there are many First Nations cultures across North America, there are differences. For instance, the Iroquois culture and that of the Plains Cree are different because the Iroquois have traditionally been an agricultural people while the Plains Cree are a nomadic people. This meant that the cultures developed differently over time. But music and dancing are an integral part of Iroquois culture. Rhonda said that the Iroquois have a dance for everything, with a lot of songs. Stomp dances are also a longtime aspect of the culture. “These stomp dances go back through history for quite some time,� she said. “Music is something that is always present in our ceremonies,� Rhonda explained, saying that music, dance and food are constant themes in the

culture. Rhonda opened the workshop singing a song while accompanying herself on a water drum which is an instrument that is traditional in Iroquois longhouses, used on special social occasions. Beany John accompanied Rhonda in this song, playing a rattle on her hand. They filled the room with the sound of their music together, with the music making its way out of the room’s open door into the wider library.. Rhonda and Beany then taught the assembled group the song that would go with the stomp dancing that they would be learning later in the workshop. One group was the lead singing group while another section of the workshop group sang the response. This is not exactly how it would happen in an Iroquois longhouse in that there would be only one person and not a group singing the lead but the singing was how it would be in the longhouse. Don’t worry about sounding pretty,

just let the sounds come out, Rhonda advised those at the workshop. After the song and its verses were done a couple of times, Beany and Rhonda distributed traditional rattles which would be used in conjunction with the singing in a stomp dance. The key to the use of the rattles was for everyone to try to do it at the same time so that it sounds like only one rattle playing. And then it was time for the stomp dance, with everyone singing, playing rattles and dancing around in a circle, following each other. Rhonda even led them out into the adjacent area of the library. Another song by Rhonda, again filling the room with musical sound, closed off the workshop. Rhonda said that sharing a culture like in this workshop is a way to foster understanding among people. She told about an annual First Nations festival showcasing aboriginal cultures from across North America that will be taking place at Vincent

Massey Park in Ottawa on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23. The event will feature a lot of family entertainment as well as traditional First Nations food and authentic crafts. She invited everyone to consider attending this festival. Rhonda is a member of the Oneida nation which is one of the founding nations of the Iroquois Confederacy that was traditionally in upstate New York. The Iroquois call themselves “the people of the longhouses� in reference to their communal lifestyle as well as the construction of their unique longhouse dwellings. This First Nations drum, music and dance workshop at the Stittsville library branch last Saturday was cohosted by the Ottawa Public Library and MASC (Multicultural Arts and Schools in the Community), an Eastern Ontario organization that connects artists and learning by offering programs for children, youth, teachers, seniors and artists.

Stittsville, Richmond concerts in August

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

John Curry

June 10th 2013

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The free concerts at Village Square Park this summer have been reduced to two rather than the three as in recent years. These concerts are sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with Rural West Recreation of the city of Ottawa. But while there will only be two concerts at Village Square Park this coming August, there will be two new Thursday evening concerts at the Richmond Fairgrounds in nearby Richmond, a short drive away. This means that there will be four straight free Thursday evening concerts in Goulbourn this year. On Thursday, Aug. 1, the group Blackwell, a country music trio comprised of Carey Blackwell, his brother Danny Blackwell and singer/songwriter Braiden Turner, will be performing at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond, starting at 7 p.m. Blackwell performs a blend of country rock along with pop and haunting ballads.

This performance by Blackwell will be followed the next Thursday, Aug. 8 by the Heartbeats, an Ottawa area rock ‘n roll show band that specializes in the songs of the 1950’s and 1960’s. This includes songs made famous by the Everly Brothers, Dion and the Belmonts, Buddy Holly, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Bobby Vee, the Temptations, Elvis Presley, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison and more. After these concerts on Thursday, Aug. 1 and Thursday, Aug. 8 at the Richmond fairgrounds, the scene will shift to Village Square Park in Stittsville where there will be free concerts on Thursday, Aug. 15 and Thursday, Aug. 22. The Aug. 15 concert will feature Sidewinder while the Mick Armitage Band, which has performed previously at these Village Square Park concerts, will be featured at the Aug. 22 concert. While the concerts will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., there will be a cash only BBQ held before the concerts, starting at 6 p.m. at each site. All funds raised by these BB’s will go to support local youth initiatives. In addition, as has been the case in the past, donations for CHEO will be accepted at the concerts.

9 RUN RUN on Saturday, Oct. 19 Special to the News

PUBLIC MEETING

Coffee grounds are a source of nitrogen, calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are good food for the plants in your garden. Using the grounds is an environmentally friendly and cost effective way to nourish your plants. Not only are you feeding your plants but you are recycling organic-household waste. The grounds are also beneficial if you have a compost pile. They help maintain the nitrogen balance which is important for decomposition of the organic materials in your compost. The coffee grounds increase the acidity of the soil. This is beneficial to acid loving plants in your garden. Some of the plants that love acid soil include azaleas, blueberries and rhododendrons. However, it can harm some of your plants. It’s important to use the grounds only on plants that will benefit from increased acidity in the soil and avoid using it on plants that are not acid loving.

Learning about telemedicine John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s called telemedicine and thanks to the efforts of Oryema Johnson, among others, it is helping bring medical expertise to isolated areas in developing countries. And, in the view of Oryema’s supporter John Eastwood of Stittsville, telemedicine could be the future salvation of the local medical system. Oryema Johnson and John Eastwood became acquainted with each other when Oryema was visiting his brother in Stittsville’s Timbermere subdivision where John also lives and John ended up offering a ride to Tim Hortons. This led to a two hour chat and John’s ensuing enthusiastic support of the telemedicine approach in medicine. Oryema Johnson, who was born in Uganda, came to Canada in the late 1980’s to do his medical residency at Queens University in Kingston after attending medical school in Uganda. He joined Doctors Without Borders and worked with the organization in the Congo and in southern Sudan. Oryema established the Africa Telehealth Group in the mid 1990’s to use modern information communication technology to provide medical services in remote and isolated locations where there is a shortage of medical specialists.

Open House and Drop-in Consultation Session This open house and drop-in consultation session will provide an overview of the Western Light Rail Transit Corridor (WLRTC) study progress to date and will address concerns raised by both the public and the National Capital Commission following the April 2013 public release of the preliminary preferred alignment – Richmond Underground.

Operated by Capital Sports Management Inc.

• Beginning July 8 • Eight weeks of camps • Elite, competitive and recreational camps

Public Open House #3 Monday, June 17 Jean Pigott Place - Ottawa City Hall 110 Laurier Avenue West 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Study Area The City of Ottawa is continuing its planning and environmental assessment study for the proposed WLRTC. The goal of this study is to identify the most effective way to build on the first phase of LRT currently under construction (Confederation Line) to bring service to Baseline Station, increase transit use and provide higher quality transit service. This study is considering alternative options and designs towards a final alignment and it will inform the City’s Transportation Master Plan. The study area stretches between Bayview and Baseline Stations and includes the area from the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway south to Carling Avenue and from the O-Train west to Lincoln Fields and Baseline Stations.

Texas as well as internationally. Late last year, he conceived the idea of the formation of the Society for the Advancement of Science in Africa (SASA) which held its inaugural conference in South Africa last April. This Society is bringing together scientists from around the world to use science to help in developing countries in Africa. Oryema told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at the Club’s meeting on Tuesday, June 4 that telemedicine has a number of advantages over organizations like Doctors Without Borders in that with telemedicine, doctors do not have to travel to a war zone to provide their expertise. They can be consulted without leaving their home country. This not only reduces travel costs but allows for the delivery of medical advice and services without the doctor having to be on site in a faraway country. Telemedicine not only saves time and money but allows a patient to be treated in his or her home community where family members are present. Oryema explained that doctors in developing countries tend to relocate to developed countries like Canada and the United States because there are better facilities and equipment in these advanced countries. He said that telemedicine allows for the skills of these doctors to be repatriated without the doctors having to physically relocate back to their home countries. Telemedicine helps bridge the gap between the “haves” and “have nots” in medicine in the world, Oryema said. John Eastwood told the Rotary Club members that what excites him about telemedicine is that it allows for medical follow-up consultations with patients without the patient having to travel to a hospital, something which for some is challenging and perhaps even painful.

EMC news - It has been open for a while but now it is official. A grand opening celebration was held last Saturday at the new Royal Bank branch at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive. And no grand opening would be complete without a ribbon cutting and so there was a ribbon cutting, with branch manager Erin Craig cutting the ribbon to mark the occasion. But there was more than a ribbon cutting at this grand opening. There was face painting, a colouring contest and lots of hijinks from Leo the Lion, the RBC mascot. The Loft Studio Dancers were on hand, performing on several occasions. And then there was an RBC Bluesfest “Pop Up” concert featuring Kelly Sloan. Bluesfest tickets were given away in a draw and the branch made a $1,000 donation to the Kanata Food Cupboard. This new branch of the Royal Bank opened last March but delayed its grand opening celebration until last Saturday.

Let’s avoid casino tunnel vision

F

ollowing recent upheaval in the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation boardroom and a change of tact on casinos initiated by the premier’s office, Mayor Jim Watson has also made an about face on the issue. After making the case for the city to support a downtown casino, the mayor now wants to see any new gaming facilities placed at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. While this is great news for anyone connected with the horse racing industry, it should be at least a little disconcerting for many residents as once again city hall is narrowing the discussion about a particular issue. Remember the epic court battles fought by the city over the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park? Many of the arguments against the city partnering with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group pointed to a lack of open competition. Isn’t that what’s happening here? Like with Lansdowne, there is at least one other group interested in making a serious bid to build a casino in another area of the city: Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, wants the opportunity to build one beside Scotiabank Place. A francophone business group has also called for an open competition for any new gaming facility. An open competition only makes sense, not only

for the bidder, but the city as well. Competition would see multiple business plans presented to the city, which staff could in turn evaluate to come up with a recommendation that makes the most sense for Ottawa. More than likely, what makes sense for Ottawa would be a proposal that maximizes gambling revenue for the city, as this is really the only reason to build a new casino – if we’re not in it to make money, we probably shouldn’t be building one at all. This is not to say the raceway can’t present a compelling business case. It has lots of land to build on and few neighbours to annoy. Area gamblers are also familiar with the existing slots, so there is an existing customer base. The biggest drawbacks to the site are a lack of growth potential due to its distance from downtown and the lack of transportation infrastructure. Downtown, on the other hand, doesn’t suffer either of those problems. Downtown’s biggest problem is the lack of a ready-made site. Melnyk’s potential plan would fall somewhere between the two: ample space, good transit links and location near Highway 417, but also not near the city’s major tourist hub. These are the factors that need to be considered by the city, and by narrowing the potential sites to just one, Watson is effectively neutering this discussion.

Considering the what-ifs of Ottawa baseball

T

he future of minor league baseball in Ottawa is connected to series of what-ifs. What if the stadium had been built on LeBreton Flats where, heaven knows, there’s still lots of room for it? More recently, what if someone had thought about baseball when Lansdowne Park was being redesigned? And most importantly, what if the city hadn’t allowed the stadium parking lot on Coventry Road to become hotels? Sure, there are other questions. One of them is whether baseball, as a spectator sport, has simply had its day. When the Ottawa Lynx thrived in the mid-‘90s, baseball was not only popular but trendy. The Lynx Stadium was the place to be seen and frequently sold out. Not many years later, only die-hard ball fans could be found there. How many of those are left and are they being replaced? Obviously, there are people who think so, and bless them. There is hardly a day goes by that someone isn’t talking about moving one Double-A franchise or another into the stadium, so someone must have confidence that the game can return to its former level of glory in this city. If not glory, at least enough people in the

Funny Town stadium to fill a good-sized parking lot. Which brings us back to the most important what-if. There have been various attempts to bring baseball back since the Lynx left town to become the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in 2007. All ran into the same problem that plagued the Lynx in their last days: not enough parking. The kind of beautiful Sunday afternoon that would bring capacity crowds to the stadium would find many potential members of those capacity crowds vainly searching for a place to put their cars. Too many gave up. It’s not a problem easily solved. It would be unfair to allow nearby residential areas to be overrun with cars. Given the amount of space left on the original parking lot side, underground parking or the construction of Published weekly by:

a parking garage would seem to be the only ways to solve the problem. Both are expensive, and risky, considering that no one really knows if baseball will attract the desired number of fans. Ultimately, the what-if game is pointless, since previous mistakes can’t be unmade. For whatever reasons, the stadium is in a bad location and doesn’t have enough parking. The city can’t remove the hotels. Writing the stadium off and moving baseball to another location would be hard to take after the amount of money that has been spent. But ... what if the stadium were at LeBreton Flats, with lots of space for parking, lots of public transit, close to downtown restaurants and bars? Someone actually did think of that back in the day, but the National Capital Commission said no. Surprise, surprise. Or, what if a new stadium was built in conjunction with a new casino? That would certainly put lots of tourists in the vicinity and some of them might be willing to desert their slot machines for a couple of hours to watch a ball game. But that’s a no-go too: the association, physical and otherwise, of baseball and gambling has been rightly frowned upon for years.

What if baseball had been included in the Lansdowne redevelopment plan? That would put the ballpark within walking distance of a substantial number of fans. And those fans would have places to walk to after the game. The problem there is that Lansdowne is tied to football and football stadiums do not lend themselves to baseball, either for the fans or the players. Anyone who has ever seen a baseball game at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto can vouch for that. Oddly, optimism persists in some quarters. It would be nice to think that it is justified. Baseball will never dominate the life of this city, but its lack has certainly been felt.

EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library wants people to peek into a crystal ball and imagine what the library should look like in the future. Notably, the library wants to know what it should stop doing – not just new things it should take on. The central questions posed in the online survey – the first phase of a public engagement process – ask what the library should continue doing, what should it start doing and what should it stop doing in the next five years. “We know that we are changing,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, chairwoman of the Ottawa Public Library board. “We are not currently delivering library services in the best way,” she said. The campaign is online at imagine-oplbpo.ca now and is open for public comment until this Saturday, June 15. Those who participate will be eligible to win an iPad. People can post ideas and vote on other people’s ideas. A day after the campaign launched the top idea, speed-dating for vol-

unteer opportunities, had already received almost 250 “likes.” While discussing the possibility of closing library branches is politically unpopular, it might be time to re-open that debate, Harder said. “Do we continue to support and sustain our 33 branches and our Bookmobile?” Harder said. “Or do we look at other opportunities that people may suggest and they may say will serve them just as well. “Is that the best use of the taxpayers’ money?” she added. Adding user-pay programs to the library’s repertoire should also be considered, Harder said. “I am not afraid to start charging for some stuff,” she said. “Right now it’s a free ride at the library and I don’t think that it needs to be. “I’m not looking to make money, but I don’t think we should be hindered from being relevant by not wanting to charge someone $25 for having something unique that people want,” Harder said. Harder said she’d like to see the libraries have more flexible space. She suggested putting the shelves on wheels so they could

be moved around and the space repurposed to offer more programs. “So the space that you’re using isn’t necessarily a large amount, but it is vibrant, vital and mobile,” Harder said. Reducing the size of reference sections and instead focusing on helping people find the information in new ways should also be a priority, Harder said. “We’ve got a big job ahead of us. We do want to make sure we’re staying relevant,” she said. Library chief executive officer Danielle MacDonald said she wanted to undertake the consultation “primarily because it makes good sense to connect with our customers.” But the library also wants to hear from people who don’t use the library about why, and what might make them begin accessing library services in person or online. “We know there are new opportunities but we also know there are choices,” MacDonald said. The consultation will set the direction for an update to the library’s strategic plan that should take form early next year. It will be the first time the library has done a major overhaul of its master plan since the city amalgamated.

Waldorf students train to participate in Triathlon event John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - They were cycling or running along the Trans Canada Trail in Stittsville for about a month, every morning before school except for Wednesday. It was all to get ready to participate in the annual Ottawa Riverkeeper Triathlon which took place last Saturday, June 8. This triathlon involves swimming, cycling and running and a number of Stittsville’s Ottawa Waldorf School students took the challenge again this year to take part in the event. Thirteen year old, grade seven student Taite Krueger kept busy preparing for the event and its 500 metre swim, 24 kilometer bike ride and 5 kilometer run. She had participated in the triathlon last year but opted then for event’s shorter distances. She enjoyed it and so decided to chalJOHN CURRY/METROLAND lenge herself with the longer triathlon distances this year.

Rodriguez, Mackenzie Krueger, Taite Krueger, Scott McGeachy and Sunao Gomi. “I just want to do well,” she says. Scott McGeachy, 14, who is a grade eight student at the Ottawa Waldorf School, says that biking is probably the most comfortable part of the triathlon because the competitor gets to sit down on the bike. He took part in the triathlon last year as well and recalls that his legs felt “like jello” at the end of his bike ride, with him feeling like he would collapse. But he felt that he was more fit going into this year’s event. Shaeed Beaubrun, 13, a grade seven student at the Ottawa Waldorf School, participated in the triathlon last year while in grade six. It was over the shorter distances but this year he trained for the longer distances. His goal is to improve on his performance from last year “At the end, it’s fun and you want to do it next year,” he said about this triathlon. “The whole point is you want to enjoy yourself,” he said. Theo Van der Burgt, a 13 year old grade eight student at the Ottawa Waldorf School, prepared to do the triathlon on a team with two classmates. He was going to do the running portion, a difference from the year before when he did the biking portion of the event. He set his goal to run the whole distance without stopScott McGeachy Shaeed Beaubrun ping, keeping up at least a fast jog for it all. He preferred this over running an even longer distance as he wanted to see if he could run the shorter 3 KM distance without Taite Krueger stopping.

Stittsville Legion Concert Band at Bridlewood Trails Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Stittsville Legion Concert Band put on a rousing show at the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Home in honour of a retired Canadian Forces captain on Monday, May 27. Ronald E. J. Milne, best known for his band arrangements and original compositions, was also responsible for composing and arranging the music for the 1967 Canadian Armed Forces Centennial Tattoo, which included Marche Vanier. The concert performed by the Stittsville band included three of Milne’s pieces: Canadian Sunset, Time to Say Goodbye and Marche Vanier, which Milne guest-conducted. “That was marvellous!� said Milne, 92, after taking his bow. “I think the band has got a great

deal of promise,� he added after the concert. “They played my Marche Vanier very well.� Aside from Milne’s compositions and arrangements, the concert band also played music from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, Fiddler on the Roof, a mix of popular tracks from the ’60s, a medley of songs from the Second World War, and others, which had the audience clapping along and tapping their toes to the sounds. The concert came about after a fateful day last December when the dance band was performing at the retirement residence. Christine Philipson, manager of the Stittsville Legion Concert Band, noticed the name R. E. J. Milne written on a walker. “I looked at the name on the walker and I said, ‘Capt. Milne? Capt. R. E. J. Milne?’� said Philipson, who plays the flute. “I was totally blown away.�

She had performed his pieces when she was serving with the Air Force. She set about organizing a concert, which included three pieces arranged and composed by Milne. “We play here as often as we can,� she said. It was the first time Milne’s newest piece, Time to Say Goodbye, was performed. He wrote out all the music by hand for each of the five instruments that played the piece. The Stittsville Legion Concert Band is an open group for people of all ages who enjoy playing an instrument. The band, which is now on summer break, will begin meeting again in September on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. For more information, visit stittsvilleconcertband.com. Milne was born in Tooting Junction, London, England, the third of three sons, in a musical family. His father played at in the orchestra of

the Paris Opera, and his mother played the piano for silent movies, as well as wrote her own pieces, said Philipson. Milne joined the Welsh Guards Band at the onset of the Second World War and was the solo trumpet for the Guards. Post war, he created the Stargazers vocal group with friends, working with famous performers as a TV and radio act. Among other accomplishments, he played violin in the London Symphony Orchestra, and in 1942, he was awarded first prize in the Jazz Jamboree, and Glen Miller presented Milne with his award, he said. Milne then moved to British Columbia, directly into the military band system, with his wife Vera. After various postings, he was sent to the Canadian Guards in Petawawa, Ont., with a promotion to director of music, said Philipson. His most prized possession, however, is a let-

ter from Queen Elizabeth II. “She reminded me of occasions where she met me,� said Milne, adding she told him the Stargazers were her favourite group. “(It’s) my most marvellous possession.� In 1967, Milne completed three sets of music, and the “innovation of using static and marching musicians simultaneously, as backdrops to the gymnastic teams, gun carriage over the chasm teams, motorcycle ballet and many other displays,� said Philipson. Once finished, Milne resigned from the military to become a music teacher in the Ottawa public school system, said Philipson. He taught at Ottawa Technical and Nepean high schools until he retired in 1986. “(I have) too many memories,� said Milne. “Everything is a good memory. “I had a terrific life in music. I don’t regret any of it.�

The Stone Solution in Richmond Sydney Steele

Special to the News

EMC news - It’s called The Stone Solution and with good reason – it deals with stone, mostly granite but also with others such as quartz and marble. The stone is used for home projects involving stone – kitchen and vanity countertops, flooring, fireplaces, stairs, outdoor kitchens, backsplashes – wherever such material can be used to add character and eye-catching appeal. The Stone Solution, located on Ottawa Street in Richmond, has one of the largest granite selections in the Ottawa area. All designing, cutting and polishing of the materials is done on site while the installation is done by The Stone Solution staff. “We try to favour Canadian granite and keep it as local as possible,” says Mark Da Silva who has been working with longtime The Stone Solution owner Emanuele (Manni) Petti for the past two years. He notes that The Stone Solution has many colours of stone to choose from and that each stone is cut to fit every job perfectly. “We actually welcome the challenging jobs,” he says. The Stone Solution has been at its Ottawa Street location for eight years. Emanuele (Manni) Petti, who was born in Ontario and has always been involved in the stone industry, moved to Florida for a time where he operated a stone business. But he returned to Ottawa and in 2005 took over the business that is now The

Stone Solution. Mark Da Silva, for his part, works for a company called Tradebank, a unique business that allows companies to exchange services for a “no money charge.” “It’s very similar to a barter system,” says Mark. “It’s like in the old days when farmers would trade eggs for milk with other farmers, only now businesses trade services.” The Stone Solution is involved with Tradebank and for the time that he has been working with Manni, Mark has become almost like an individual broker for The Stone Solution. The Ottawa region’s Tradebank operates out of the same location as The Stone Solution. There are plans to build an addition so that Tradebank can house more brokers. In the past two years, The Stone Solution in Richmond has grown as has the friendship between Manni and Mark. This year the pair will be riding in the Ride the Rideau 100 kilometer road bike event which takes place in September, supporting cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. From now until the Sept. 7 day of the race, they are donating $100 from every job that The Stone Solution completes to the Ride the Rideau event. “We both think that Ride the Rideau is supporting a great cause and we want to support it as well,” says Mark. To contact The Stone Solution or to donate to Manni and Mark’s Ride the Rideau fundraising, visit the website www.thestonesolution.ca or call 613-838-3399.

EMC news – While the opposition hammers at Prime Minister Stephen Harper over the Mike Duffy scandal, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor is sticking to his side. “I am pleased the prime minister confirmed he didn’t know about this event,� said Gordon O’Connor, the Conservative whip. “He was completely taken aback. We are pleased he is not involved.� Senator Mike Duffy accepted $90,000 from Harper’s now-former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to pay off expense claims deemed improper. O’Connor, like many Conservatives, is distancing himself from the P.E.I. senator and Wright, saying the affair was improper. “This is wrong. You cannot provide funds to a politician. Mr. Wright made a serious mistake,� O’Connor said. “I’m sure he had good intentions. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions.� In light of four appointments Harper has made to the senate, all plagued by scandals, and a number of other questionable appointments, O’Connor was asked if the prime minister’s judgment should be brought into question. “He’s made 3,000 appointments, he can’t possibly know everything about all of them.� A CTV poll last week revealed just 13 per cent of respondents believe Harper is telling the truth when he says he didn’t know about the Duffy-Wright scandal. If accurate, that would mean many in the Conservative base distrust the leader. But O’Connor indicated the scandal has blown over. “People were upset when they didn’t know what was happening. Now they know what’s going on,� said the Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP. “I don’t think there is any permanent damage to the brand.� He wouldn’t share what was said during caucus meetings about the situation.

The organization recently bought Trinity Presbyterian Church on McCurdy Drive in Kanata to help co-ordinate all its efforts under one roof.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR HOME ELECTRICITY USE AND

Afternoon and evening of free entertainment

SAVE MONEY

Special to the News

ELECTRICITY RATES IN ONTARIO ARE INCREASING. THE PROVINCE IS INVESTING $80 BILLION TO RENEW THE AGING ELECTRICITY SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

EMC news - It’s going to be an afternoon and evening of entertainment – all free. And besides the entertainment, there is going to be other attractions such as a classic car show, an arm wrestling demonstration, the presence of Star Wars Storm Troopers, a magic show and dance demonstrations. It’s all being held under the sponsorship of the Richmond Village Association (RVA) as a way of supporting the annual chicken barbecue being held by the Richmond Volunteer Firefighters on that same day at the same location. This means that you can enjoy an afternoon of entertainment, then have a barbecued chicken dinner available in the Dining Hall on the fairgrounds from the Firefighters and then cap off the day with more entertainment, all right there. This outdoor stage show and related activities will be happening on Saturday, June 22 from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Richmond fairgrounds, rain or shine. It’s meant as a family outing, with city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt to official open the event just before 1 p.m. “We’re going to have a fantastic, beautiful day,” Shelley Lafleur, who is organizing the event on behalf of the RVA, told the RVA Board of Directors at its meeting on Tuesday, June 4. She predicted that it is going to be a great family day, with two stages in operation, offering continuous entertainment – the main stage with sound and lighting systems for the major performers and a smaller platform stage where the attractions will range from stepdancing to a Kung Fu demonstration. Drinks and chips will be available on site thanks to the local 4H Club. And just who will be entertaining? Well, there’s going to be the Tycoons, a group comprised of Kevin Eamon, Francis Thibodeau, Mike Kelly and Cory M. Coons, which has opened and performed with national touring acts like April Wine, Glass Tiger, Prairie Oyster and Kim Mitchell. Now that means that they are good and you won’t want miss the group’s performance in Richmond. The Tycoons play some high energy rock ‘n roll music as well as sleek harmonies and contagious melodies fronted by vocalist Cory M. Coons who is making quite a name inde-

EMC news - If you get hungry while picking up a great bargain or two in Munster this Saturday, June 15, you will be able to get a delicious bite to eat right there on the same site. It’s all happening at the Munster United Church on Munster Road in the heart of Munster where there will not only be a yard sale but also a BBQ.

pendently, releasing a new CD “Here And Now” in late 2012 as well as a new single “Roses Need The Rain” last January. The Cory M. Coons Band will also be performing. Another group to perform at this Richmond event will be “Second Sight” with members Lee Keeley, Don Cright, Jean Lamirande and Dan Lafleur. This group writes and performs a lot of original music, reflecting the stylings of classic rock as well as being influenced by various blues, rhythm and blues and jazz greats. The “Richmond Ramblers” consisting of Dale Cole, Glen Trebble, John Estabrooks, Steve Nauss, Elly Wedge, Kristin Grzegorek and Randall Armstrong will also be performing. This group is known for its entertaining mix of classic country and Ottawa Valley bluegrass. And the alternative rock scene has not been forgotten. “The United Inmate” will be performing, providing alternative rock music from such artists as Weezer, The Who, Kings of Leon and Neon Trees. The schedule for this stage entertainment is “The United Inmate” at 1 p.m.; Cory M. Coons Band at 2 p.m.; Richmond Ramblers at 3 p.m.; Second Sight at 6:30 p.m.; and Tycoons at 8 p.m. And while this musical entertainment will be the big attraction for this Richmond stage show event on Saturday, June 22 at the Richmond fairgrounds, there will be lots more to see and do. The Classic Car Club will be on hand, with 30 or more classic vehicles on display. There’s also going to be a magic show and dance demonstrations will be taking place. The Capital City Garrison – 501 Legion will be bringing a Star Wars atmosphere to the event, with their laser swords and Storm Trooper costumes. This will create a science fiction/fantasy environment thanks to their professional-grade costumes and props. If you enjoy Stars Wars, you will want to be there. There will also be an arm wrestling demonstration. This is all being done by the Richmond Village Association (RVA) as a way of providing a day of entertainment suitable to those of all ages. And best of all, there will be free admission thanks to the support of the Richmond business community for RVA activities. The yard sale will run from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, June 15. The BBQ gets underway a little later, at 11 a.m. and runs through to 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome to drop into the yard sale to discover that treasure that you have been seeking. And, if you develop an appetite while doing so, then the BBQ will be able to help you deal with those hunger cravings, starting at 11 a.m. Or, if you are not a yard sale person but love BBQ treats, then consider stopping by and enjoying a bite at the BBQ.

20 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, June 13, 2013

EMC lifestyle - Walking into the first of Bob Mitchell’s several sprawling greenhouses, the sweet, earthy smell of ripening tomatoes takes over your senses. For a brief moment, it’s just you and the fruit. You’re filled with a sense of hominess, of nostalgia for your grandmother, or the proud memory of the first vegetable you ever nurtured. When you come back to reality, you start to look around and you can hardly believe your eyes. Row upon row of leafy tomato plants climb toward the soft, filtered light coming in from above. The greenhouse seems to stretch on forever. Little technology gets in the way of nature’s beauty; the stems grow from plasticsheathed blocks of crushed coconut in raised troughs and are clipped to small rods above. Small pipes wind along the floor, masked by green tangles of sagging vines. Every so often a bumblebee lazes by, off to pollinate another plant or return to one of the hives placed throughout the greenhouse. Mitchell, the owner and founder of SunTech Greenhouses, on Doyle Road south of Manotick, somehow fits

into the greenhouse ecosystem, despite a brusque manner and a penchant for loud exclamations. The lifelong farmer moved to a dairy and cash crop farm south of Kenmore when he was six, which he farmed with his family until 1998. And then he entered a greenhouse for the first time in his life. “The smell, that was what hooked me,” he said. From that visit in September 1998, it took 11 months for Mitchell to buy the Doyle Road property, set up a greenhouse that covers a hectare, and plant 22,000 beefsteak tomato plants. “Just a starter kit,” Mitchell laughed. Today, the farm has 1.6 hectares of greenhouse facilities and produces 11 different commercial products. That includes several tomato varieties as well as eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and green beans. NATURE’S WAY

While SunTech certainly doesn’t profess to be organic or pesticide free, it makes use of what nature has to offer. A common greenhouse pest is the white fly, a tiny white bug that can multiply into the billions. As they drink the juices from the plants, they

excrete everywhere – and that can prevent the plants from getting the sunlight they need. But instead of spraying plants with chemicals, Mitchell brings in 40,000 encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in white fly eggs – essentially stopping the reproduction cycle. “You don’t pay them by the hour and they don’t miss,” Mitchell said. Bumblebees are another important part of the greenhouse ecosystem. Brought in from Windsor, Ont., Mitchell’s bees are relied upon to pollinate the tomatoes. The number of bees loose in the greenhouse directly correlates to the number of open flowers, Mitchell said. There are usually two or three bee stings a year, he said, but as the chief bee handler he has managed to escape a sting for nearly 14 years. Of course, the whole point of a greenhouse is to get around Mother Nature’s whims, and SunTech employs a complex computer system to monitor the indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjust the roof vents accordingly. The average daily temperature inside is about 19 degrees, Mitchell said, and they can harvest about 10 months of the year.

Get ready to go zip-zip-zip lining steve.newman@metroland.com

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you won’t have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America. Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a signiďŹ cant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years. Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the ďŹ rst zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the ďŹ nal 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25. Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxton’s business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers. Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines. There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

“We have four goals in mind,â€? says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover. The ďŹ rst goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters. “We’ve made investments in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,â€? says Glover. “But for older kids, as families grow up, you don’t want them to hit the boredom curve.â€? The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds. The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Land’s season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August. “The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.â€? Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive. “Our big posters stopped them,â€? says Glover. “It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds. But we’ll see for sure this summer.â€? Glover acknowledges there’s another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Land’s third

marketing goal. For example, there’s no reason tourists can’t zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking. Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series. As Glover says, “Every zip line you see is different.â€?

Bell Warriors players out at RedBlacks launch Special to the News

EMC sports - The Bell Warriors Football Club was represented among the more than 3,000 who were at the official launch of the new Ottawa RedBlacks team in the Canadian Football League (CFL) last Saturday at the Ernst & Young Centre in Ottawa. Not only was Bell Warriors president Paul Stewart of Richmond there but so too were 15

Bell Warrior players, some of the more than 200 players from teams in the National Capital Amateur Football Association who were in attendance at the event. “It was a phenomenal event,” said Mr. Stewart. “I’m sure there has never been anything quite like it in Ottawa. Even CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon was caught off guard by the resounding support shown by local football

and CFL supporters. Our 15 Warrior players will never forget it.” The Warriors also used the occasion to approach the former Ottawa Rough Rider stars like Russ Jackson, Jerry Organ and Tony Gabriel and have then sign CFL footballs. Even Ottawa RedBlacks GM Marcel Desjardins and co-owner Jeff Hunt signed footballs. These signed footballs will be part of the Bell

Warrior silent auctions at its awards nights in January. The Bell Warriors Football Club offers football programs for both boys and girls aged 8 to 16 from the communities of Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia. The Bell Warriors Football Club was founded in 1955.

TO BENEFI T THE KANAT A FOOD C U P B OA R D

EMC sports - It’s your chance to try out the sport of lawn bowling. It’s free and everything will be supplied – the bowls, the instruction and even some treats. Now you can’t be that. This will all be happening at an open house which the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club is hosting this Saturday, June 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Club’s lawn bowling green on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. The lawn bowling green is located beside the Goulbourn Town Hall, which is the former Goulbourn municipal office. For more information about this upcoming lawn bowling open house, please contact Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club president George Burns-Nichol at 613-831-0939 or via email at gjbn@rogers.com Again this year, there will be lawn bowling on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. And, as is the Club’s tradition, there always will be treats and refreshments with conversation afterwards. This happens in the tent shelter that was new last year that sits beside the lawn bowling green, providing a relaxing spot where lawn bowlers can stay out of the sun or inclement weather while enjoying themselves right beside the lawn bowling green. This tent shelter was made possible with the cooperation of the city of Ottawa, with the city supplying matching funds of about $7,000 to facilitate the project. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club is always open to new members. In addition, the Club supplies the lawn bowls. All a new bowler needs is a pair of flat soled shoes, shorts and a light top. You will receive lots of instruction and advice on how to play the game. For those who cannot bowl during the day, the Club has begun offering lawn bowling on

Tuesday and Thursday evenings. There is also bowling on Saturday mornings. And lawn bowling is reasonably priced, especially for those just taking up the sport. Indeed, the cost to be a Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club member has been the same for the past five years: $60 for a first year member and then only $135 a season after that. Lawn bowling is a game that goes back to the possibly the 12th century and most definitely to the 13th century. It is also a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its non-contact nature. And, first and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air. The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack” which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, parts of the United States, Japan and, of course, Canada. Today the sport is played in over 40 countries and is a sport at the Commonwealth Games. Lawn bowling is played on a rectangular, precisely leveled area with manicured grass, divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. In singles and pairs play, a player delivers four bowls in each end. In triples, three bowls are delivered by each player in an end while in fours, each bowler delivers two bowls in an end. For more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the upcoming season, please contact Club president George BurnsNichol at 613-831-0939 or email him at gjbn@ rogers.com

Barb Fairbrother My Friend John Curry, editor of the Stittsville News EMC, delivered a eulogy at the May 31st memorial service held for Barbara Fairbrother of Stittsville who was the longtime office manager of The Stittsville News. Mr. Curry’s eulogy included the recitation of a following poem which he wrote entitled “Barb Fairbrother - My Friend.” Barb Fairbrother – My Friend It’s Barb’s day, Oh, what can we say, How can we portray, In a most memorable way, All that was this person, no other, The one called Barb Fairbrother. Yes, she was quite a gal, Someone who was everyone’s pal, Figure skater, rider, model, oh yes, She had it all going, no less. And while all this happened, we say, Then came that wonderful day When she married David, her beau, Aw, a matter of the heart, isn’t that so. And off they went to Stittsville, that town of ours Where into business they went, selling flowers, Pixie Garden Centre and Florist, no less, A likeable couple in business, oh yes. And they moved on from this, we say, With other careers to fill their day. Barb looked after the office of the Stittsville News It was a situation where the paper could not lose Because Barb knew everyone around Both above and, yes, thanks to her tea leaves, even below ground. But through this all, it must be said, oh yes, Their greatest pride, their greatest treasure, no less, Was their daughter, Penny, their pride and joy, She became a shining star of her own, oh boy.

At Fun Fair at Stittsville Public School There’s a lineup for the bounce castle which was set up in the gym at Stittsville Public School for the school’s annual Fun Fair last Thursday evening, June 6. It was raining outside. R0012156115

Touch a Truck was a “Roaring success”. Sunday, June 9, 2013

When the grandchildren came along, Barb was as happy as in any song It was all this joy, what a lure, That gave the strength to her, we are sure, To battle that big bad “C” For three long years, she would not let it be. She even confounded those at the Hospice, isn’t that so, She did not depart, she would not go. She kept rallying and fighting to the end Maybe it was the message that those tea leaves did send. She lived her life with quiet strength, we think, With dignity and, in her eye, a mischievous wink. I liked Barb, it’s fair to say, She lived life the right way She worked hard, she loved her family, oh yes, And also made time for her friends, no less. I will remember Barb, like you all, Her jovial ways, her figure tall, All of my memories, yes sir, Spread over time, not a blur, Will always be fond ones, we say, Because we were lucky, in a way, To be one of those she befriended, oh wow, Barb Fairbrother, thank you – take a bow.

Volunteer Awards Special to the News

EMC news - A total of 3,997 years of volunteer service provided to organizations in the Ottawa area was recognized at a 2013 Ontario Volunteer Service Awards presentation ceremony on Thursday evening, June 6. This was one of two such evenings held to honour recipients of Ontario Volunteer Service Awards, presented by the province’s Honours and Awards Secretariat to recognize the commitment and dedication of volunteers in the community. Organizations for which residents volunteer submit nominations of appropriate volunteers for these awards based on length of service based on five year increments. A lapel pin, which is presented to the recipient along with a certificate signed by Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne and Ontario Minister of Citizenship and Immigration the Hon. Michael Coteau, bears the figure for the number of years of volunteer service by the recipient – 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. Of the 3,997 years of volunteer service recognized at the June 6th ceremony, a total of 165 years was contributed by 12 volunteers who live in Stittsville and one who lives in Ashton. Those from Stittsville receiving the Ontario Volunteer Service Award at this ceremony included Barbara Aitken, 15 years with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library; Lee Boltwood, 5 years with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society; Doug Brunsdon, 10 years with the Nepean Housing Corporation; Bev Coote, 10 years with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library; John Curry, 20 years with the Goulbourn Township Historical

Society; Robin Derrick, 10 years with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society; Georgia Derrick, 10 years with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society; Lyn Ellis, 15 years with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public library; Sue Harper, 30 years with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library; Virginia Notley, 15 years with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society; Bev Severin, 10 years with the Centrepointe Theatre Volunteer Company; and Ann Soar, 10 years with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public library. Rev. James Kirkpatrick of Ashton received the Ontario Volunteer Service Award for 5 years with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. There is also a special category for youth who can receive the Ontario Volunteer Service Award for two years of volunteer service. Jeremy Leung of Stittsville received one of these youth awards for his volunteer service with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. A total of 10,000 volunteers across the province this year are receiving an Ontario Volunteer Service Award. Canadian Senator Joseph Day, who was the guest speaker at the June 6th ceremony at the Tudor Hall in Ottawa, praised the recipients for showing energy and devotion to volunteerism and in so doing, improving the community and society in which they live. “Ontario is a better place because of your contribution,” Senator Day said, noting that everyone has the power to make a difference. Senator Day, a Liberal, is a representative of New Brunswick in the Senate of Canada. He has been a Senator since 2001.

Historical Society cancels Special to the News

EMC news - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society has cancelled its program this Saturday, June 15 about the history of firefighting. The Historical Society took this decision because the program would conflict with the annual Park Party and BBQ hosted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri at Village Square Park in Stittsville. A number of Stittsville’s firefighters and their firefighting equipment will be at this Park Party and not be able available for the Historical Society’s program. In addition, the Historical Society had been hoping to attract youngsters

Ottawa Valley Tours

to this history of firefighting program. But the Park Party with its children’s games and activities also has this target audience. So, in view of this, the Historical Society has cancelled its June 15th program with the idea that it will be re-scheduled at a later date. This was the last scheduled Historical Society monthly program before a summer break. Following the summer break, the Historical Society’s monthly programs will feature the history of the Goodwood Masonic Lodge in Richmond, a presentation by Dave Brown on “Military Men” and a December meeting with a Christmas theme.

‘Kat’ McClure goes for large abstracts John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Kathy McClure of Richmond has always been artistic and creatively active. Ever since she was young, she was involved in artistic endeavours such as tole painting, quilting and other kinds of artistic development. “I always wanted to be creative,” she says, noting that it was her mother, herself a landscape artist of some ability, who urged her to take up art. She gave it a try, starting with the typical flowers in a vase scene and taking an art class which she thoroughly enjoyed, particularly the feedback received from class discussions. Since then, her art has progressed and now she concentrates more on abstracts rather than specific landscape subjects. She likes the idea that the subject of a painting comes from her own thoughts and mind rather than from some concrete scene. She admits that her concept may morph a little as she progresses with the painting, noting that the painting evolves and changes as she advances with it. Kathy signs her paintings “Kat” not only because her penmanship is not that great but because she feels

that it is a nice simple signature and she feels that it has an artsy ring to it. All of her art friends now call her Kat. While acrylics are the main medium in her paintings, she does use mixed media techniques, incorporating such things as sand, lace dollies, rocks, styrofoam and paper into her drawings. She admits that many of her paintings are fairly large. “I guess I must think large,” she says, while saying that she does do some small pieces as well. But, in the end, “I really enjoy to do large,” she says, feeling that they have a bigger impact on people. When travelling, she is always looking at things such as old barns to discover unique shapes that she might incorporate into her abstract art. She also examines the work of other artists as part of her process of constantly thinking about and gathering ideas for her art. Kathy admits that she likes to work with the colours of black, red and white as well as with some of the richer colours. “I love to work with the rich burgundy’s, reds, aqua’s and teals,” she says.

At times Kathy has more than one painting on the go, although only one would be a new painting. The other would be an older one that she continues to work on. Kathy believes that her art is getting better and she wants to continue this trend. She hopes to keep challenging herself to learn more in producing her art. She gets a thrill out of creating something that no one has ever seen, created out of her own thoughts. In creating something that no one else has ever created, she finds that she gets a wonderful feeling and derives a lot of pleasure.

Kathy admits that the best feeling is when someone really likes what she has created, with the ultimate validation being the purchase of the artwork. Kathy will be one of the artists who will be participating in the Richmond Village Art Club’s third annual “Art in the Park” show and sale at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in Richmond this Saturday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. She is a fan of such events, feeling that any gathering of artists like this is great for them because they get to talk with other artists while also get-

ting exposure for their work. “The icing on the cake is if you sell something,” she says, saying that selling a painting generates such a wonderful feeling for the artist because you know that you are bringing joy to someone else through your painting. Kathy believes that most art makes people feel good and as such it is a positive part of life. If art can make you smile or make you feel something or can remind you of something, then such art is a positive, uplifting thing, she says. “Art is a very positive thing in our world,” she says.

on display, hung up on clotheslines throughout the grounds of the shop. It is expected that this year’s show will have a similar number of quilts on display. The quilts will be on display from 9:30 a.m. throughout the day. Everyone is welcome to drop in and browse around the grounds where the quilts will be on display. And with all of the rain recently, you might wonder about the weather but Ann McLean, owner of The Country Quilter, points out that in the previous nine years that the outdoor quilt show has been held, it has only rained once and that was only about 2 p.m. in the afternoon. So, she is keeping her fingers crossed that Mother Nature will be cooperating again this Saturday, June 15 for the tenth annual outdoor quilt show. Hopefully Mother Nature is a fan of quilts. Besides the quilts on display, this outdoor quilt show will also have a charity book sale with a wide variety of previously-loved books on sale (and not just quilting books by any means). There will be a sewing machine expert on the grounds and in addition, JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service will be there to sharpen not only scissors which are used in quilting but also all manner of things which require sharpening from time to time such as knives, grass or pruning shears and axes. Scissors are one of the great inventions of all time, although they do require sharpening if used regularly, particularly for a task associated with quilting. Scissors were first invented probably around 1500 BC in ancient Egypt. But the direct ancestor of modern scissors, namely pivoted scissors in which the blades pivot at a point between the tips and the handles, happened about the year 100 thanks to the Romans. In addition, St. Paul’s United Church virtually right next door on McBean Street is put-

ting on a lunch that will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. So, you can not only view the quilts in The Country Quilter’s beautiful outdoor setting but also you can enjoy a delicious lunch next door. And if this were not enough, the annual “Art in the Park” art show and sale hosted by the Richmond Village Art Club is taking place this same day, Saturday, June 15, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Memorial Park which is almost right across the street from The Country Quilter. So you can enjoy a display of quilts and a display of art, all within easy walking distance. It doesn’t get any better than this. A quilt is considered a type of blanket, usually comprised of three layers of fibre – a woven cloth top, a layer of batting or wadding and a woven back, with the three layers combined using the technique of quilting. Quilters often are involved with groups such as the Richmond Area Quilters Guild which is a vibrant, creative guild with 125 members that meets in Richmond. Among the activities of this Guild is a Block of the Month. At each meeting, you may pick up a paper copy of a block pattern to collect and hopefully to sew during the coming month. Completed blocks are brought to the following meeting and pinned on a board. The name of those who completed blocks goes in a basket with the winner of the subsequent draw getting enough blocks to make a quilt. There is a “Show & Tell” at each meeting. Bring a quilt that you have made to show the others at the meeting. The Richmond Area Quilters Guild has donated quilts to Harmony House, a home for abused women and their children, to ensure that each bed there has a colourful quilt. Members also make 24 inch by 24 inch quilties for the special needs babies at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

Variety from vocalists, guitarists at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Variety was the name of the entertainment game at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening. This was not only because the entertainment featured not only a selection of vocals but also a time of jazz guitar offerings but also because the vocals by Francine Bateman and Mary Jean McAleer, backed up by the gentle guitar accompaniment of Neil Bateman and Pierre Monfils, covered a range of songs. These ranged from an opening song made famous by the American rock band Hootie and the Blowfish to songs by Bruce Springsteen, Lady Antebellum, Leonard Cohen, The Drifters, Eric Clapton, Adele and Fleetwood Mac. The lively “Fire,” a Bruce Springsteen hit, was the second song sung by Francine and Mary Jean, followed by “Need You Now,” the 2009 number one hit by the American country pop group Lady Antebellum. And then the duo delivered what must be one of the greatest songs of all time, “Hallelujah,” that masterpiece by Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen. Gently done with the guitar duo quietly playing in the background, it was a rendition that even Leonard himself would have liked had he been there. The pace changed somewhat for the next song, “Under the Boardwalk,” a 1964 hit by the American doo-wop vocal group The Drifters, with Neil Bateman not only playing the guitar but providing some of the echo vocals. “Under the Boardwalk,” of course, is a classic and a song that has been covered by such stars as the Beach Boys and John Mellencamp.

As if “Hallelujah” was not enough, the capacity audience was then treated to another classic, “Tears from Heaven,” written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain that Clapton felt following the death of his four year old son who fell from the window of a tall apartment building. The songs “Someone Like You” by English singer Adele, a song which was her first number one single in the United Kingdom in 2011, and “Landslide,” the Fleetwood Mac song written by Stevie Nicks, filled out the vocal program for Francine and Mary Jean. This vocal portion of this Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre was then followed by the harmonic jazz guitar offerings of Neil Bateman and his friend and music collaborator Pierre Monfils. Neil explained that some of the songs being played would be classic big band tunes that he had arranged for two guitars. He also explained that he and Pierre both used classical guitar techniques. Neil challenged the audience’s alertness by asking it to identify the two songs that he was playing at once on his guitar. Yes, that’s possible. They happened to be “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “Dixie.” Neil and Pierre then played a melodic, soothing version of “Moonglow,” a song recorded in 1934 by Benny Goodman and his orchestra and which is now considered a jazz standard. They followed this up by a couple of pieces made famous by guitar legends Joe Pass, considered one of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century, and Herb Ellis, the American jazz guitarist perhaps most famous for having played

with the Oscar Peterson Trio. And so it went – jazz guitar wizardry and harmony that filled the Gaia Java shop with its soft, melodic sounds. What a night! These Friday music evenings at the Gaia

Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville happen every Friday at 7 p.m. There is free admission, although you are advised to get there early for the best seating.

Here’s a chance for kids to fly Patricia Leboeuf

pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - Matt Pearson has been flying for ages, logging hundreds upon hundreds of flight hours and he plans to add a few more during the Young Eagles Rally at the

chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). As well as the experience, the children receive a log book, a free flight training course and a magazine. The goal of the event is to spread aeronautics passion and to foster a love of flying. The EAA chapter is also congruently holding

its monthly meeting at 10 a.m. on the morning of the event. Children and their families are welcome to attend. Flying techniques and other aerospace subjects will be discussed. Once the meeting wraps up the kiddies take over at noon. Little workshops like how to build components of a wing (wing ribs) out of wood and glue will be held the kids interested while they wait for a ride. Once they are properly introduced

to the basics, they are taken up into the sky for a 15-20 minute trip. For those with a daring spirit and strong stomach, the opportunity to take over the reigns may come up. The event is free to attend, but requires registration to help with the planning for the afternoon. To sign up, please reserve your spot at young.eagles@eaa245.org.

Great season for Pointe of Grace dancers John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Dancers from the Pointe of Grace Dance Company of

Stittsville have accomplished quite a feat with their feet, as it were, during this past dance season. “Lots of accolades, lots of awards,” is how Pointe of Grace Dance Com-

pany co-director Carly Sherwin puts it about the recently completed season for the Dance Company’s competitive dance team. But what impressed her even more

SUBMITTED

Members of the competitive dance team at the Pointe of Grace Dance Company on Iber Road in Stittsville are, from left, front row, Massimo Buffone, Liam How, Qiara St. Amand, Amy Aitkenhead, Olivia Chouinard, Abbey Lynk, Kayla Seibert, Hope Bekkers, Rylee Fortier-Turner, Julia Saunders, Talia Zaidi, Willem Girard and Jacques Corbeil; second row, from left, Alex Melbourne, Rachelle Ashmore, Shyanne Bertrand, Sydney Whitney, Kampbell Pristanski, Anique White, Katrina Cybulski, Erinn Bekkers, Grace Nolan, Molly Saunders, Chelsea Publow, Sarah Steen, Madeline Bonin, Meghan Poulin and Nicolas Arcand; third row, from left, Grace Bromly, Abbey Grace, Lauren McDonald, Paige Publow, Olivia Holm, Emma Parrell, Lili Lapointe, Sofia Buffone, Keira Fleming, Allison Arcand, Brianna Perigo, Julianne Mui, Kooper Pristanski, Sarah Malek and Megan Honcoop; fourth row, from left, Shaelynn Poulin, Meaghan Fleck, Lily Fischer, Chloe Lawrence, Caitlin Fischer, Melissa Johnston, Emma Labelle, Hailey Whitney, Gabrielle Lessard, Dana Said, Hannah Girard, Kate Pristanski, Chelsea How and Kayla Mills; and, back row, from left, Renee Theoret, Elysse Chennette, Sarah Hearn, Laura Walsh, Giselle Ashmore, Mikaela Graf, Amanda Graf, Pointe of Grace Dance Company director Amanda Leroux, Pointe of Grace Dance Company director Carly Sherwin, Leah Hepburn, Julia Mazzuca, Emma O’Brien, Olivia Breton, Rochelle Decruyenaere and Morgan Perigo. Missing from the picture are dancers Alysa Fee, Kirstin Karriappa, Amanda Leighton, Olivia Hewitt, Madison Refausse and Vanessa Medaglia.

about the 75 member competitive dance team than its winning ways at competitions was the way that the team seemed to develop a sense of family and team unity. She said that all of the team members were very supportive of each other and showed such a sense of unity as a team. This, to her, was far more important than the team’s many high placings and successes in the competitions. Sure, there are lots of trophies and honours won but having fun and feeling like a family with everyone supporting each other are the real significant benefits of competition. But in the three competitions this season – “Fever International” and “Shine Dance,” both in Gatineau, and “Star Catchers” in Niagara Falls – the Pointe of Grace Dance Company performers won numerous top scoring awards. Some dancers even won scholarships to attend educational workshops this summer such as Olivia Breton who won a scholarship to attend a workshop in Los Angeles this summer. And the senior level group who performed a lyrical contemporary routine called “Medicine” wowed the judges at all three competitions, scoring the highest mark in its division in all of them. In fact, in Niagara Falls, this routine had the highest score out of the over 1,000 routines presented. Now that’s pretty impressive. This routine “Medicine” touched on mental illness, a theme that the dancers felt very connected with. Perhaps that’s why the routine con-

tinually reaped a high score. At the “Shine Dance” competition, Pointe of Grace Dance Company won the “Ultimate Shine Studio Award” for having the three highest scores in different styles of dance. With about 15 studios participating in all, this was quite an achievement for Pointe of Grace and its dancers. Pointe of Grace Dance Company expects to attend an upcoming national competition here in Ottawa in July, with some of the studio’s top scoring routines taking part. Pointe of Grace Dance Company will be holding summer dance camps in jazz, ballet, hip hop and musical theatre this summer. These are geared for those aged 3 to 12 years of age, with no dance experience required. July 8-12 will be Princess/Superhero week; July 15-19 will be Come Join The Circus week; and Aug. 1216 will be Broadway Bound week. Registration can be done online at www.pointeofgrace.com . Registration for the fall session at Pointe of Grace Dance Company opens on Monday, June 24, again online at www.pointeofgrace.com . Competitive team auditions for the 2013-2014 season, which are open to everyone, will be taking place on July 29 and 30. Details can be found on the Pointe of Grace Dance Studio website at www.pointeofgrace.com . The Pointe of Grace Dance Company, which has its studio on Iber Road in Stittsville, can be contacted at 613-836-0557 or via email at info@pointeofgrace.com .

Mayor Watson proclaims JJune 2013 as Soles4Souls month in Ottawa, along with Mrs. Laureen Harper w aand Steve Creighton of TThe Dymon Group.

SUBMITTED

Maria Hill comes to life at Beechwood Cemetery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It may seem odd that a person would come to life in a cemetery but this is what happened at last Sunday’s historical walking tour at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa. Maria Hill, one of Richmond’s first settlers and an active participant in the War of 1812 although she was a woman, was one of several historical personages who literally came to life during this walking tour, thanks to brief vignettes featuring period costumed actors that provided some of the facts about the life of those being portrayed. In the case of Maria Hill, she was portrayed by actor Keri Poupore in a vignette that took place on a grass area with the tall grave marker identifying the final resting place of not only herself but her husband, Sgt. Andrew Hill of the 100th Regiment in the background. The vignette, through which those on the walking tour learned much not only about Maria but also about her husband Andrew and the War of 1812 in general, found Maria Hill, carrying her baby daughter, coming across an injured soldier from the York Regiment. After safely hiding her baby in a nearby wood pile, Maria sets about treating the injured soldier. Through their banter as the scene proceeds, onlookers on the walking tour find out that she was what today would be called an “army brat,” having grown up in garrison life and thus being totally familiar with military ways, including how to dress wounds like that suffered by this soldier. Talk included the state of the War of 1812 at that particular moment including the death of General Isaac Brock but also the vic-

tory at Queenston Heights and also how Maria believes that she and her husband Andrew will probably stay on in Canada after his military service, taking up a land grant and emulating the prosperous farms of the existing Loyalist settlers. When this vignette ended, the walking tour resumed, on to visit the gravesites and enjoy further similar vignettes at the graves of George William Baker, a British military officer who fought in the Napoleonic wars followed by a military posting in Ceylon and who, after retiring in 1832, emigrated to Canada, becoming Bytown’s postmaster and a community leader, serving as reeve of Nepean Township, a police magistrate and farmer on his Nepean farm called Woodroffe; William Brown Bradley, a Captain in the War of 1812 who saw action at Sackets Harbour, the battle of Beaver Dams and the assault on the American Fort Erie and who is buried in the same plot as his son Edward Sands Bradley who was a young ensign in the War of 1812 and in 1817 transferred to the 99th Regiment which provided many of Richmond’s settlers; Louis-Theodore Besserer, a politician, businessman and soldier, having served with the Lower Canada militia in the War of 1812; Brigadier-General Ernest A. Cruikshank, a pioneer military historian who is renowned for collecting and editing a nine volume “The Documentary History of the Campaign on the Niagara Frontier 1812-1814” which has provided primary source materials for many authors over the decades; and historian J. Mackay Hitsman who wrote what many regard as the best one-volume history of the War of 1812, namely “The Incredible War of 1812: A Military History” which was first pub-

lished in 1965. So, all in all the walking tour visited six gravesites at which are buried seven men and one woman, all of whom participated in the

War of 1812 or who were instrumental in recording the history of the conflict. See HISTORICAL, page 58

This year Beechwood Cemetery decided to make the War of 1812 the theme of its annual historical walking tour which has been happening for 19 years now. The Beechwood Cemetery partnered with the Goulbourn Museum in presenting this War of 1812-themed walking tour, with particular research work and impetus coming from researcher and Goulbourn Museum board member Kurt Johnson. Indeed, it was Mr. Johnson who gave the tour’s opening remarks under sunny skies to the assembled crowd of 250 prior to the beginning of the walking tour, telling a little about the gravesites to be visited and the War of 1812. He said that the Canada of today would not exist without the War of 1812, praising the efforts of the men and women of that era. “It is to them we owe a debt of gratitude for protecting our values and traditions and for setting future generations on the path to nationhood,” Mr. Johnson said, noting that the War of 1812 changed Canada’s history. He said that the walking tour this year was paying tribute to seven men and one woman associated with the War of 1812 in some way but admitted that most people have likely never heard of any of them: battlefield nurse Maria Hill; her husband Sgt. Andrew Hill, a War of 1812 veteran; Royal Artillery Captain George Baker; Quebec militia captain Louis-Theodore Besserer; New Brunswick soldier Captain William Brown Bradley and his young son Edward Sands Bradley; pioneering historian Brigadier General Ernest Cruikshank and historian Captain Mac Hitsman. He said that Canadians today are more like-

ly to remember the names of a few battles of the War of 1812 than anything else, names of battles like Queenston Heights in 1812, Stoney Creek in 1813 and Lundy’s Lane in 1814. Mr. Johnson explained that the War of 1812 was a three year struggle that saw thousands end up dying for very little gained. The war ended with a return to the pre-war status quo. He said that the Americans pursued the war in order to take over the Canadian lands along the U.S. northern border. Aboriginals fought to secure a native homeland which never happened. The British fought to preserve the British colonies in North America. And the Canadians fought to protect their homes and families. But Mr. Johnson also reminded everyone that history is not just about the clash of nations or about wartime battles. He said that it is also about those people who marched off to war and who then settled the land afterwards in peacetime. He said that the walking tour this year was recognizing seven exceptional men and one exceptional woman whom he termed “real people” who are being honoured for their contributions and service to the country. It was on June 18, 1812 that the United States, with its 7.7 million people, declared war on Great Britain and set out to conquer Upper Canada with its 600,000 residents. At least 25,000 people were killed or maimed with ghastly wounds in the ensuing conflict. A peace treaty was signed on Dec. 24, 1814 in Ghent in Belgium although hostilities continued in North America until early March 1815 because of slow communication. See BEECHWOOD, page 73

‘Spring into Summer’ show at Westar Farms this weekend Special to the News

show this coming weekend, Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16, there will be the “Horse Lovers Weekend on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21 and a “Jump into Fall” show on Saturday, Sept. 14. These shows can include riders as young as nine or ten years old in may of the classes. Indeed, some may be as young as three years old in the “lead line” class in which a young rider on a horse is led around the ring by an adult. This year is a special year at Westar Farms because it marks 25 years since Westar opened up at its Fernbank Road location. This weekend’s “Spring into Summer” horse show welcomes all spectators to attend and witness the equestrian action. Admission is free and refreshments will be available on site on both days. Maple trees lining the Westar Farms lane which divides the show rings provide plenty of shad. There are bleachers for spectators or spectators can bring along their own lawn chairs if they wish. Westar Farms is located on Fernbank Road between Munster Road and Dwyer Hill Road in Goulbourn, west of Stittsville. The Glen Mar Golf and Country Club is just a little east of Westar Farms. Since Sunday, June 16 is Father’s Day, there will be special draws for prizes for dads at the “Spring into Summer’ horse show on Sunday, June 16.

EMC news - Horses and ponies will be everywhere at Westar Farms on Fernbank Road in Goulbourn this coming weekend, Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16. That’s because Westar Farms and owners Jeff and Bridget McKessock are hosting Westar’s annual mid-June show. Called “Spring into Summer” to mark the change of seasons, horses and their riders will be competing in classes in four different show rings on both Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16, from 8 a.m. to about 4 p.m. on both days. Some of the classes, which are the so-called Hunter classes, will see the riders and their mounts judged on style and smooth performance jumping over a sequence of naturallooking obstacles. This is something like the judging which takes place in figure skating where judges score a skater on style and performance. In the Jumper classes, the key for a rider and mount is to get over the brightly coloured jumps in the rink in the shortest amount of time with the fewest faults or knock-downs. This is more like what happens in slalom skiing where speed and no mistakes are rewarded. This “Spring into Summer” horse show at Westar Farms is the first of three such horse shows which are hosted at Westar Farms, beginning in June and ending in September. Besides this “Spring into Summer’ horse

25 years for Westar Farms on Fernbank Road Special to the News

EMC news – Westar Farms, an equestrian training centre on Fernbank Road in Goulbourn, is celebrating 25 years in business this year. Owners Jeff and Bridget McKessock credit their success and longevity to a few simple but vital principles: strong roots developed through the help and support of family and friends; growth made possible by seeking out and listening to the advice of various mentors; stability which is maintained by keeping to the basic philosophy that helped forge the Westar Farms identity; and flexibility, i.e. staying open-minded enough to move forward with the times while not bending to fads. The philosophy of this equestrian business and always been and continues to be to give riders, whether beginners or national caliber competitors, a sound foundation in riding based on classic training principles including a respect and gratitude to the horse and also fellow riders. One last essential ingredient is luck. You should never underestimate its value. Westar Farms was conceived in the early 1980’s but its history goes back even further. Jeff McKessock came to the Ottawa area in 1977 and was hired by Pam and Joe Nuth as an instructor at their Fiddlers Green Stables at Stittsville. Jeff developed his teaching skills, moved up to head coach and then began to yearn to own his own farm and to run his own business. This is what he did but Pam and Joe Nuth remain today valued friends and colleagues in the local equestrian community. Jeff met Bridget (nee Stevenson) at Fiddlers Green where she was a student rider. But their relationship did not develop until Bridget moved away from Ottawa and then returned to study at Carleton University. With the help of generous friends Pat and Jim Phillips, a piece of property on Fernbank Road in Goulbourn was purchased and severed in 1984. Pat and Jim are like family to Jeff and Bridget McKessock and have always been mentors willing to lend and ear and offer advice. The name Westar was chosen partly because the farm is in the west part of Ottawa but also because the name, while simple, also has a solid confidence about it. Construction at Westar Farms began in the summer of 1988 with riders and their families helping to construct the stalls inside the barn. The first horses moved in on Oct. 1 with a grand opening celebration held on Oct. 22. This day was memorable for a few reasons: not only that hundreds of well wishers turned out but that a freak cold spell hit with the added shock of several inches of snow. Jeff and Bridget decided to wait until the

business was up and running before tying the knot, figuring that if they could survive starting a business together, they could survive marriage. This happened in 1990 with Jim Phillips as best man and many students and their families in attendance. Pictures of Jeff and Bridget in their wedding finery were taken in the barn aisle with all of the horses as “witnesses.” A photo was also taken at the back of the farm which ten years later would become the site of the house that Jeff and Bridget would built at the farm. Many mentors have helped guide the McKessocks through the ups and downs of 25 years in business. Some have been family members while others have been colleagues in the equestrian community and still others have been friends and fellow small business owners. The main advice has been “stick to what you are good at but be willing to open a few doors to see what’s on the other side.” Running horse shows keeps Westar Farms in touch with the local community of horse lovers or those who are not yet familiar with but appreciate the majesty of horses. In keeping with the times, there is a special section on the Westar Farms website with information for horse show spectators, describing some of the terms used in horse shows and some of the horse shows that are happening. The first horse show hosted by Westar Farms took place in 1988 at what was then Four Island Farms (now Castle Peak Farms) on Franktown Road west of Dwyer Hill Road. This was because Westar Farms was still under construction. In 1995, a second horse show was added to the Westar Farms schedule and in 2002, a third show was added. The show grounds themselves at Westar Farms have developed over the years as well. The shows happen around the farm’s long laneway, lined with maple trees planted the year after the farm opened for business. They were eight feet tall then but now many have reached more than 30 feet in height and provide welcome shade on hot show days. In 2009, the main jumper ring at Westar Farms was expanded and new permanent competition and training obstacles were added. In recent years, “feature” classes not offered at other shows as well as extra prize money have attracted competitors to Westar Farms and its shows. The first year that the $1,000 jumper derby was offered, more than 50 competitors entered that class alone. Westar Farms continues to offer a new different class in its shows almost every year, something which adds to the fun and excitement of the events. Keeping to its basic philosophy has kept the business sound. Westar Farms teaches rid-

Jeff and Bridget’s commitment to high standards and a good work ethic is reflected in their students, both in and out of the riding ring and whether at home or at horse shows. Family continues to be at the heart of Westar Farms. Competitive riders and those who own their own horses spend many hours at the barn each week. As a result, great friendships develop among the riders and even though each rider wants to be number one in competition, there is a big support network for every rider and a cheering group of fellow riders and supporters outside the show ring. A mentoring program within the barn sees “veteran” competitors help those new to the show ring to become familiar with the competition scene. The McKessock songs, 13 year old Mark and 11 year old Luke, have always been involved in the farm’s operation but each is now taking a more active role, with Mark aiding with the technological advances including helping keep the newly renovated website up to date and taking many of the photos that appear on the site. He is also Westar Farm’s on-site computer technician. Luke is more interested in the horsey side of things. He is a rider and hopes to be an eques-

trian coach some day. Westar Farms began with a staff of two full time and one part-time employee in addition to Jeff and Bridget. That staff has now grown to ten. Jeff continues as manager of Westar Farms and head coach. Karen Steadman, who is the barn manager, has been with Westar Farms for all of its 25 years. Rider Lianne Sands holds the record for being the longest-serving student, also being at Westar Farms for 25 years. To relieve Jeff’s busy schedule, other coaches and instructors are now on staff. Bridget’s role has evolved from farm rider to administrator, office manager and event planner. Technology has allowed Westar Farms to reach more people but it takes more people on duty to maintain that communication. Jeff and Bridget still love what they do and feel blessed and privileged to have the ongoing support and encouragement of family and friends. They appreciate their great network of equestrian colleagues as well as the dependable suppliers which they have. They love having their sons involved in the business and enjoy watching as Mark and Luke learn about responsibility, respect and commitment. But mostly, Jeff and Bridget are just looking forward to the new adventures that are still to come in the life of Westar Farms.

Fares down for Para Transpo to resolve inequitable situation Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - OC Transpo is addressing concerns about inequality by lowering fares on its accessible Para Transpo vehicles for one year. On May 22, council approved the temporary change to the fares that go into effect July 1. While a regular cash fare will become $3.40, Para Transpo users will instead pay $2.70. The summer fare table was designed to support the full launch of the Presto smart card, a new way to pay for rides on OC Transpo. A fare paid using the Presto card “e-purse� cash balance will cost $2.72. To encourage riders to pick up a free card and switch to the new payment method, OC Transpo set cash and ticket fares higher than buying the same trip using Presto. Transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans said the “unintended consequence� of the new fares is that “We ended up with fares

that were higher for Para Transpo customers that were higher than everyone else.â€? “We heard loud and clear that this was an inequitable situation,â€? she said. Accessibility advocate Kevin Kinsella, who brought the issue to the commission’s attention on April 17, applauded the move. “It really speaks to the exibility and willingness of the commission and council to deal with concerns as they come up,â€? he said. Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees Presto, gave the city a discount on the system because technical glitches delayed its launch. That discount will help make up for a $150,000 loss in revenue of setting lower Para Transpo fares, Deans said. Presto cards are available now at transit stations, OC Transpo sales centres and online at prestocard.ca and will go into use as of July 1. OC Transpo is working on a standalone electronic fare payment system for Para Transpo that would also be accepted on conventional OC Transpo vehicles.

EMC news - It’s name is right on – Camp Awesome. That’s because Camp Awesome, a Christian day camp program, is awesome in the activities which it offers to youngsters – things like painting posters, molding clay, making pretzels and singing camp songs. Just ask the 45 youngsters who attended last year’s Camp Awesome at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond. They all got to enjoy activities like these. They also got to escape the heat with outdoor water games and watermelon for snacks.

Last year the week-long camp ended with a fun performance for parents and friends with songs and a fun bible story drama. Well, Camp Awesome is back at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond for another year this summer – its third year at St. Paul’s. Camp Awesome 2013 at St. Paul’s United Church will be happening from Monday, July 8 to Friday, July 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Children ages 4 to 12 are welcome to attend but registration must happen by Monday, June 24. By the way, this is a nutfree camp.

For more information or for registration forms, check out the St. Paul’s website at www.stpaulsunitedrichmond. com or call the church at 613838-5397. The Camp Awesome program is sponsored by the Ottawa Presbytery of the United Church and is hosted at different united churches across Ottawa including at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond. Besides providing a fun experience to the youngsters who attend, Camp Awesome also provides opportunities for youth to learn leadership skills as counselors thanks to a Leaders-in-Training program.

Beechwood Cemetery tour has War of 1812 as theme Continued from page 58

Many of the war veterans on the British/Canadian side took up free land and became settlers in Upper Canada, including at the new settlement of Richmond which was created in 1818. Maria Hill was one of these ďŹ rst settlers in Richmond. She was what could be termed “a daughter of the regimentâ€? as she was raised from infancy in military traditions and lived as an army wife who followed her husband’s regiment into the war zones. She married Sgt. Andrew Hill, an Irish soldier in the 100th Regiment of Foot, in 1811 at Fort Amherstburg near presentday Windsor. They had two daughters and Maria was one of the wives whom the army permitted to travel to the forts and armed camps where they would care for the 600 men in the regiment. After the American invaders were defeated at the Battle of Queenston Heights on Oct. 13, 1812, Maria met Laura Secord who was searching the battleďŹ eld for her gravely-injured husband. Maria, a nurse, left Fort George and went to aid injured

soldiers while her husband was away ďŹ ghting. Playwright Sarah Anne Curzon, in her 1887 drama about Laura Secord, identiďŹ ed Maria Hill as a “brave womanâ€? who hid “her babe ‌ under a wood pileâ€? and walked among the wounded. When the Americans again invaded in 1813 and occupied the Niagara frontier, legend has it that Maria disguised herself as a man in order to be able to stay with her husband. Even after her ruse was discovered, as a nurse she was allowed so stay and help the surgeons cope with the badly injured soldiers from the battles of Chippawa and Lundy’s Lane in 1814. After the war and when Richmond was established in 1818, Maria Hill and her husband Sgt. Andrew Hill took up land there and ran a tavern. Maria died in 1881 and after initially being buried in Richmond, her remains and those of her husband Sgt. Andrew Hill were moved to the Beechwood Cemetery in 1887. Sgt. Andrew Hill had died in 1830 at the age of 45. Maria Hill then married Andrew Taylor who died in 1879, just two years before she passed away.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories EMC lifestyle - Until that fateful day in the middle of summer, Mother had no choice but to keep the perishables on a swinging shelf in the dug-out under the house. It was a dank and frightening place and could only be entered from the outside. There was no trap-door in the kitchen like Aunt Bertha had on the next farm, only two big doors tilted against the house that had to be lifted to gain entry. It was a place I hated with a passion and Mother too never quite got used to putting butter and milk on the swinging shelf. Blocks of ice were put in big tubs down in the dugout in the hope that what Mother put down there would be kept chilled enough that we all wouldn’t die from food poisoning. Of course when the ice melted, the big tubs had to be hauled up and emptied, a job for my big strapping brothers. But it was Grandfather who changed all that one day when he came out from Ottawa and ordered Father to hitch up the wagon and head into Renfrew. Of course, Grandfather had no intention of riding all the way into Renfrew sitting on a rickety seat on a wagon. He drove ahead in his rumble seat car, telling Father where to meet him. Everett went with Father to help. The purpose of his trip into town was to buy

The arrival of an ice box at the farm in Northcote was like Christmas time

Mother a brand new Barnett ice box. “Uncivilized! That’s what it is!” he said time and again on his regular visits to the farm and when one of us kids was sent down into the dug-out to bring up milk or butter or anything else that Mother hoped would keep fresh long enough so that we could eat it. We always had had an ice house and it was always full of blocks of ice, but never until that wonderful day, did we have an ice box to put the blocks in. Mother spent the entire morning trying to come up with a decent place to put the ice box in the kitchen. It had to be well away from the Findlay Oval, of course, and it couldn’t sit in the window looking out into the grape arbour -- that’s where the old pine table sat and where we had our meals. Finally, without even knowing what it would look like or what size it was, Mother decided it would go kitty-corner next to the little room off the kitchen that served as Mother and Father’s bedroom. So that place was scrubbed by Audrey, wiped dry, and newspapers laid out covering the entire corner. For reasons unknown to me at the time, Mother made all of us change from play clothes into our next-to-Sunday best -- was it because we were getting an ice box or was it because Grandfather would be there for a visit? At any

rate, we were spit-clean when Grandfather drove back into the yard and said the new ice box would be here as soon as Father could get back from Renfrew. Mother, in a clean Dan River dress and a fresh white apron, sat on the back stoop waiting for its arrival, with Audrey and I perched on the pump stoop. Grandfather brought out a kitchen chair to the yard. He wouldn’t sit on anything that wasn’t spotlessly clean in case he got a mark on his white flannel pants. It was like we were waiting for the Queen to arrive. Then we saw the wagon round the corner at the far end of the lane and as it got closer we could see Everett standing with his arms wrapped around what looked like a casket standing on its end. Father pulled the wagon up close to the kitchen door. “My oh my,” Mother said, not even waiting until it was loaded off onto the ground, she leaned into the wagon and rubbed her hands all over the new ice box like it was made of gold. It took the three brothers and Father to lift it off the wagon, with Grandfather telling them to be careful and not scratch it. It was shiny wood, the colour of caramel candy, with silver handles, and I thought was grand enough that it could easily have sat in the parlour. Without even being told, Everett tore to the

ice house, and using the big black iron tongs, hauled a block of ice into the house. It was beastly hot in the kitchen with the Findlay Oval pumping out heat and I secretly wondered if the ice box would cool off the whole house. Emerson swung open the little door on the side, and Everett plopped in the block of ice. Audrey and I were sent down to the dugout for all the perishables and Mother arranged it all in the ice box like she was laying out blocks for a quilt. Grandfather had thought of everything. While in Renfrew he bought an exact duplicate of our white granite dish pan and he slid it under the ice box to catch the drip. We sat around the ice box on kitchen chairs, as if waiting for it to tell us something. It sure looked mighty nice in the corner and I could tell Mother was as proud as if someone had bought her a new car. What a change the new ice box brought to our old log house. Now we had it as well as a telephone, thanks to Uncle Lou. Emerson wondered what we had to do to get running water, and I longed for the day we could just push up a switch and a light would go on just like at my little friend Joyce’s house. Sadly, water from a tap and light from a bulb were not to be. Both would have to wait until the day we left the farm many years later.

Strawberry honey lassi is healthy, refreshing drink Foodland Ontario Special to the News

EMC lifestyle - A creamy refreshing, cleansing drink that is a version of the Indian yogurt and fruit drink, called lassi. It can be a nice finish to a spicy hot meal or an interesting drink idea if serving a slightly spicy meal. A lassi is of great importance in the Indian diet, because it contains fat, protein, lactose, calcium and phosphorus. It has been said in Indian literature that regular consumption of lassi drinks reduces the chances of your hair going white before it is time. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Serves: six. Makes 1.5 litres (six cups). Ingredients 750 ml (3 cups) halved strawberries 500 ml (2 cups) non-fat vanilla yogurt

Dr. Craig Deprez joins Dr. Moore John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Moore Chiropractic Health Centre on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville is set up to accommodate two chiropractors and now it will be. That’s because Dr. Craig Deprez has arrived, signing on with Dr. Jim Moore and his team there. What makes Dr. Deprez a great fit for the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre is that he is an advocate of the same focus and technique which Dr. Moore has been pioneering in the Ottawa area – a structured correction of the upper neck.

Indeed, it was at a National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association seminar dealing with this technique and chiropractic focus where Dr. Moore and Dr. Deprez first met. It was back around 2005 when Dr. Moore first started to try upper neck corrections and since 2008, upper neck correction has been something of a focus at the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre. Dr. Moore says that there is a lot of new positive research coming out about upper neck correction, with this research showing how important the upper neck is for healthy body functioning. And, in his view, one of the advantages of this treatment focus on the upper neck is that

results tend to come quite quickly, making it good for the patient and, really, for himself as well as he says that it is really exciting to see the changes that happen when upper neck corrections happen. Dr. Deprez, who was trained in the upper neck correction technique when attaining his chiropractic education in Atlanta, is, like Dr. Moore, a fan of the technique. When the upper neck area is corrected, other things fall into place, he says. It is not a technique that is widely used in the Ottawa area. Indeed, the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre is the only chiropractic office in the area that has a focus on this upper neck technique. That’s why clients come from all over the area to the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre. Dr. Moore is happy to have Dr. Deprez coming on board, especially one who has a similar focus on upper neck corrections. This means that they will be easily able to see and treat

each others patients if that should be needed. Dr. Deprez believes in chiropractic treatment, noting that he has “a desire to fix the problem long term” and “not just covering up symptoms.” Dr. Deprez, who is from the Winnipeg area, earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology which is the scientific study of human movement. He then headed off to Atlanta in 2009 to acquire his doctor of chiropractic degree. After working there for nine months following graduation, he decided to move back to Canada and has chosen to join the team at the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre. He enjoys running, swimming and cycling and plays recreational hockey. He played junior hockey in Winnipeg and even played hockey for his school in Atlanta. At the Moore Chiropractic health Centre, Dr. Deprez joins a team which includes not only Dr. Jim Moore but also two registered massage therapists and a registered nutritionist.

Sacred Heart student Evan Marr not afraid to try something new john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Evan Marr keeps busy but he’s not afraid to try something new. That’s why he will be involved in a Sacred Heart Catholic High School student trip to Europe next year, his grade 12 and final year at the school. He is looking forward to using his French Immersion language skills during this trip. He is also looking forward to seeing first hand some of the historical places about which he has been learning in his schooling. The 16 year old, grade 11 student also tried out for the school’s track and field team this year, for the first time. He even made it to the National Capital finals in, of all things, the steeple chase event. He found that the event with its laps and jumping over barriers, including one with a water aspect to it, was really tiring. But he was glad to have made it to the National Capital finals and says that if he com-

petes in track next year, he will once again do the steeple chase event. And it was this adventuresome spirit that saw Evan take part in the school’s production of “Alice in Wonderland” last year. This was the first time that he had performed on stage, but he found it to be a fun experience, playing the role of Tweedledum. This led to him landing the part of King Richard in this year’s school production of “The Trials of Robin Hood,” and that was quite an experience, with the play nominated for best play at the recent Cappies Gala where the cast performed a scene from the play right there on the stage of the National Arts Centre. He also got to see some of those involved with the play, such as lead actor Nick Maillet, win Cappies Awards. It was an awesome experience. Evan discovered this year that he really enjoys drama and is hopeful that he will be able to have a role in the school’s production of the musical

“Cats” next year. There is also talk that the school may also have a play as well next year. He found that in this year’s role as King Richard, he had to learn to be authoritative and take charge, something that he is not normally included to do. He had a lot of dialogue in the play and had the challenge of making his character come across as “regal and classy.” Evan likes to play sports, as his track and field experience this spring indicates. He played soccer for the school last fall, playing striker for the team. This was a change for him from when he plays soccer outside of school where he plays defense. As a striker, he had to attack more and try to score goals. He has played community soccer and also hockey since he was seven or eight years old. For the past two years, Evan has played competitive soccer with the Ottawa Fury. The team travelled to the United States for games, meaning long bus rides. But Evan enjoyed these bus rides

perience,” he says. Evan also plays house league hockey in Richmond, something that he admits he does for fun and to keep active. “It’s almost like a stress reliever,” he says about his hockey playing, noting that he played defense this year after playing forward in previous seasons. Evan did have a part time job at King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond but found it was best to give it up because of all his other commitments. He has, though, recently taken on a new parttime job at Montana’s in Kanata. He is enjoying meeting new people there and is confident that he can manage this job with his school work and other activities. He is excited about the upcoming summer, hoping to get a little time to relax. He knows that next year, his graduation year, is going to be an important year for him as he tries to get some higher marks to gain acceptance at one of his pre-

ferred universities. Right now, these include one far away (St. Francis Xavier in Nova Scotia for communications), one not so far away (Queens University in Kingston, also for communications) and one close by (Carleton University for journalism). Evan has an interest in music, particularly rhythm and blues and rap music. With regard to rap music, he likes its poetic aspects and he hopes to attend a rap music concert this summer. As with his hockey, he finds music is a good stress reliever for himself. He plans to take his driver’s license test in July but he readily acknowledges the efforts of his parents over the years, not only in setting him on the right course in his studies like French Immersion and in his work experience but also in driving him around to his many activities. He says that his parents do so much for him and he owes everything to them.

Thank You Kanata! Thank you to all of our Taekwon-Do family members and friends, Leadership Team members, generous donors, and corporate sponsors for your support of our BBX Board Break-a-Thon, which raised $15,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

On June 9th, 2013, 100 Taekwon-Do students broke 1,000 wooden boards and presented a $15,000 cheque to CTV’s Kathie Donovan and Joel Aslam before 1 Million CHEO Telethon viewers. We, at Black Belt Excellence Martial Arts Academy, located at 62 Stonehaven Drive in Bridlewood, Kanata, believe in the power of martial arts, family values, and community leadership.

Join us on the journey of Black Belt Excellence!
