‘Happy Birthday, Erica!’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Canadian Olympic-bound wrestler Erica Wiebe celebrated her birthday with 600 new friends in Stittsville on Monday, June 13. It happened at Sacred Heart Catholic High School which is the school from which Erica graduated in 2007. She was there for an announcement by the Canada Science and Technology Museum involving wrestling and her personal story and to give a motivational presentation to the 600 grade seven and eight students who had gathered in the school’s theatre. During a question and answer session following her presentation, Erica let it slip that the day, June 13, was her 27th birthday. This set off an impromptu singing of “Happy Birthday” by the assembled students, followed by the appearance of a birthday cake which was presented to her by retired Sacred Heart teacher Silvano

Sanna who coached Erica during her four years of wrestling at the school. The hour-long assembly saw Erica introduced to the students by Sacred Heart teacher Alain Gareau who said that he always talks to his students about Erica at the beginning of each school year. He showed a trophy that has Erica Wiebe’s name engraved on it from the 2002-2003 school year at Sacred Heart. He told how Erica in grade seven was playing soccer with the Ottawa Fury, the highest level of youth soccer at that time, and she was playing two years above her age category. But Mr. Gareau pointed out that Erica also tried out lots of other sports at Sacred Heart, noting that one day she tried wrestling and the rest is history. Retired Sacred Heart teacher Silvano Sanna, who taught and coached Erica for four years when she was in high school, said that Erica was an athlete who was always pushing to do her best. He related how Erica won medals in wrestling at the provincial high school level when in high school. She has gone on to win six Canadian national championships and three university national championships. She has also won at the world university games and at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The next step for Erica now is the Olympics, he said. Erica, wearing a red “Canada” t-shirt and red runners, told the students how she JOHN CURRY/METROLAND was elected to student council at Sacred Olympic-bound wrestler Erica Wiebe, who graduated from Sacred Heart High Heart when she was in grade eight.

Erica Wiebe encourages students to follow their passion Continued from page 1
She praised the teachers at Sacred Heart for giving of their time so that students could enjoy various sports and activities. She said that she would not be pursuing her Olympic dream now without the presence of teachers like Mr. Sanna in her life. After graduating from Sacred Heart in 2007, Erica went to the University of Calgary where she could train with what she called the best women’s wrestling team in Canada.
She told the students how she qualified for the Olympics this past March and since then has experienced, among other things, a training session in Hawaii and was part of the Hudson’s Bay Olympics Team Kit Launch recently. Erica showed a short video which portrayed some of her everyday training including running and weight training as well as a daily run up the bobsled track in Calgary. She trains every morning, followed by two hours of wrestling each evening.
She told how she has now wrestled all over the world, showing a map and list that included 18 countries where she had wrestled. She is currently ranked #2 in the world in her weight class. She told the students that one of her rules is “You have to be comfortable being uncomfortable.” She also advocates “power posing” which is based on the theory that how a person holds his or her body affects how powerful a person is or feels. She pointed to the iconic Superman image as an
example of “power posing.” Erica reminded the students that things in life do not always go as planned but this is not a reason to quit. She told how she had a great season in 2015, reaching number one in the world. She had not lost a match in two years. But when it came to the Canadian national championships that year which were the road to both the Pan-Am Games and the world wrestling championships, she lost due to some lapses in her wrestling judgement. But she re-focused her efforts and did manage to qualify for the Olympics last December. She encouraged the students to find and then follow their passion, whatever that may be. For her in grade 12, she had the vision that she wanted to go to the Olympic Games. She urged all the students to think about where they want their passion to lead them. Erica said that when she marches in the opening ceremony of the Olympics on Aug. 5, she will be waving to all those at Sacred Heart where she noted that everything began for her in wrestling. She told the students that she hopes to compete in the Olympics in 2020 as well as the Olympics in Rio this year. Responding to a student question about who the coolest people are that she has met in her wrestling career, she said that the cool-

est people would be the five other female wrestlers on the Canadian national team. However, she did add that she did spend an evening with Olympic sprinting champion Usain Bolt from Jamaica while at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. When asked about role models, she pointed to former Canadian wrestler Christine Nordhagen who won six world championship gold medals in her career. During the years 1993 and 2005 when Christine was wrestling, women’s wrestling grew tremendously, going from about 150 wrestlers in the country to over 4,000 such wrestlers. Christine Nordhagen also did write to Erica when she was in grade 12 at Sacred Heart, inviting her to attend the University of Calgary which she ended up doing. Erica said that as a carded athlete, she receives a small monthly stipend to help meet expenses. She said that her personal sponsors include Nike and KPMG. Erica graduated with a Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2012 and on Wednesday, June 8, just last week, Erica graduated with a second degree, a Bachelor of Arts. At the assembly, Sacred Heart student Danika Gareau presented Erica with gift bag from the students.

Erica Wiebe’s journey to become one of the world’s top women wrestlers is going to be told as part of a new exhibit when the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa re-opens in its renovated premises in Nov. 2017. Erica’s story will be told in an exhibit called “Wearable Technology” in which biometric clothing worn by elite Canadian athletes like Erica will be featured. This is smart clothing that can measure an athlete’s heart rate, breathing rate and other physical benchmarks. The Canada Science and Technology Museum is approaching this from the perspective that this is the coming together of Canadian innovation with the country’s elite athletes. The exhibit will also focus on Erica’s journey in wrestling and how this technology related to biometric clothing has helped her on that journey. The exhibit will feature some memorabilia related to Erica’s wrestling career. A number of
these memorabilia items were turned over by Erica to Tom Everrett who is a curator at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, at an assembly at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville on Monday, June 13. Others from the Museum who were on hand at the assembly included Christina Tessier who is the Director General of the Museum; Carolyn Holland, an exhibition interpretation officer with the Museum; and Nori Gowan, manager for business development for the Museum. While the specifics of the exhibit are still being developed, the exhibit will be one of the exhibits on display when the Canada Science and Technology Museum reopens in Nov. 2017.

When confused and upset, those with Alzheimer’s disease can pull monitor wires or yank catheters, interfering with medical treatment. “Touch quilts” promote behaviour by those with Alzheimer’s disease that does not annoy others, interfere with treatment or ruin clothing.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Public safety should be priority No. 1
T
here was good news on the morning of June 8 when the earth opened up and a massive sinkhole swallowed a section of Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa. Despite the giant hole in the heart of the city, no one was injured. That no one was injured, except for the city’s civic pride, is a blessing considering the number of OC Transpo buses that go by the very spot where the road collapsed, not to mention all the cars and pedestrians who flow through that part of town on a weekday morning. Within 24 hours city crews stabilized the sinkhole by pouring concrete into it, and the foundations of nearby buildings had all been secured and the hole was no longer expanding, according to the city. Now the investigation into why this happened is underway. “It took a month for us to find the answers with the sinkhole on Waller Street, and this is significantly larger,� said Mayor Jim Watson during a media briefing with emergency services and city department heads the day after the large sinkhole made national headlines. The media briefing was the second within 24
hours. And there are plenty of questions that need to be answered with the two most pressing before moving forward being: Did the tunnelling for the city’s light rail project have anything to do with the road collapsing and is the city’s infrastructure in such bad shape that water main pipes are bursting all over the place? The mayor and senior city staff say it could take weeks to get Rideau Street in front of the Rideau Centre back in service, and may take a couple of months before all the answers to what went wrong are known. The timeline is the least of the worries right now. How long it takes to determine the reasons for this near tragedy is less important than getting those answers right, so that such a situation does not happen again, especially since there is a lot of tunnelling going on downtown for the LRT project. What should be first and foremost in all of the investigations surrounding the sinkhole is that public safety should be the No. 1 priority going forward. And that means if it takes a month or two, or even longer, to get to the bottom of this “hole� mess, so be it.
Homelessness needs to be faced head on
R
egardless of what finally happens with Ogilvie Square, the debate over it will turn out to be helpful for the city and those who live in it. Last week the plans for the square were unveiled — a blocklong plaza on Nicholas Street between Rideau and Besserer, closed to traffic and available for special events. It will have trees and bicycle racks but no chairs or benches. Various reasons have been given for this, including the need to maintain access for emergency vehicles. But that’s not what people are talking about. They’re talking about what seems to be a conscious effort to discourage panhandlers and homeless people, of which there are many in this part of town. A city planner said that “we’ve
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town chosen to take a more adaptable approach and be able to monitor the success and failures of the seats as opposed to putting something in permanent and then having nothing but complaints come in for people ... loitering or panhandling ...� In other words, benches attract the homeless, so no benches. I usually avoid reading Comments sections online, but the one below the original Citizen article on this issue is worth a look. It shows the range of attitudes on homelessness in this city. Among the attitudes expressed are some very enlightened ones.
They say, among other things, that people other than panhandlers need places to sit. More significantly, they say that keeping homelessness out of sight is not the way to deal with it. There are other opinions, of course, such as the view that the homeless are coddled in Ottawa, but they are far outnumbered by those who believe the city has made a mistake here. Online Comments sections are not always accurate reflections of public opinion, but my guess is that City Hall is getting an earful on this subject and, on the basis of the strength of the arguments presented, will change its mind. This was so close to a great idea — creating a new public space in an area that needs it, closing it to traffic, sticking some trees in there. All it needed was something to make it more invit-

ing, such as a place to sit down. That would be nice for older people and people with disabilities, among others. If that turned out not to work, for whatever reason, the city could always take the benches away. That might cost some money, but everything costs money. Putting up that elaborate playground at Mooney’s Bay costs money. All the 150th anniversary hoopla is costing money. The homelessness issue is frustrating. But let’s not forget that it’s the homeless who are the most frustrated. To those who say Ottawa coddles the homeless, imagine yourself in that position. It’s not a walk in the park. It’s frustrating and complicated and Ottawa has made some good efforts to help. What this debate shows is that there could be significant public support for more effort. As always, the key to solving

homelessness is housing. There simply has to be more. Support from senior levels of government, particularly provincial, is key. Ottawa is not without senior officials who are on good terms with the folks at Queen’s Park. Good for Ogilvie Square. It has reopened an important debate about homelessness and shown that there is support for doing something genuinely useful.

$817.15 raised for Parkinson Canada from sale of pies John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Pies are not only delicious – they are also good money makers! Just ask the Stittsville Retirement Community (Villa) whose recent Pies for Parkinson’s sale of pies as a fundraiser for Parkinson Canada raised $817.15. That’s a lot of money in pies, exclaimed
Alan Muir, manager of resource development for Parkinson Canada’s Ottawa office when he was at the Stittsville Retirement Community on Tuesday, June 7 to accept the funds from the fundraiser on behalf of Parkinson Canada. He thanked all those who supported the Pies for Parkinson’s sale, noting that he had purchased two pies at the event himself, both of which quickly disappeared at
home. He noted that this was a sizeable donation for Parkinson Canada which he admitted is not as well known as some other charitable organizations. He said that there are an estimated 8,000 people in Eastern Ontario suffering from Parkinson’s disease. They are among the 100,000 people across Canada who are living with the disease. He noted as well that boxer Muhammad Ali who has just passed away suffered from Parkinson’s for many years. Alan also commented that there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease at present, although there are drugs available to slow its progression. The cause of Parkinson’s disease is not known although suspected causes include brain trauma, heredity and extended exposure to pesticides. The overall population is aging these days so there will be an increase in the number of cases of Parkinson’s disease
since Parkinson’s disease is more common in older adults. Muhammed Ali, one of the best known sports figures in the world, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s syndrome in 1984. It could have been from head trauma experienced in his boxing days. Another well known person suffering from Parkinson’s disease is Canadian-born actor Michael J. Fox who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 at the age of 29. He has become an advocate for research to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Its early symptoms can involve shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking. In 2013, it is estimated that Parkinson’s disease affected 53 million people around the world, resulting in more than 100,000 deaths.

Councillor’s Pancake Breakfast on Father’s Day at Village Square Park
I would like to wish all Stittsville residents a sincere Happy Father’s Day. On Sunday June 19th, from one father to another, I will be hosting a delicious pancake breakfast catered by the Enbridge community events team. Breakfast will begin at 8:00 AM in Village Square Park and all residents will be welcome. Please stop by as we celebrate the caring fathers in our lives.
West-end Light-Rail-Transit Extension Update
This past Wednesday, June 8, I was pleased to participate in an announcement with Mayor Jim Watson, Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, and my fellow west-end councilors regarding the planning work that is needed to extend light rail transit (LRT) from Bayshore to Kanata. Around this time last year, City Council approved the Stage 2 LRT Environmental Assessment and in an announcement last Friday, June 3rd, the Province of Ontario committed more than $1 billion to make Stage 2 a reality for 2023. What this means is that it is time to begin focusing our efforts into making sure that the next phase of the LRT – extended the rail from Bayshore to Kanata – can also become a reality. This is phenomenal news to be celebrated and shared by all west-end residents. I, along with the other west-end councilors, Marianne Wilkinson (Kanata North), Allan Hubley (Kanata South), and Eli El-Chantiry (West Carleton-March), have been advocating for some time for the extension of the LRT to Kanata and that vision is beginning to take shape. The new Environmental Assessment will begin in January. If the City of Ottawa continues receiving financial support from the federal and provincial government, light rail construction beyond Bayshore could begin as early as 2023 as Phase 3 or sooner as a potential extension of Stage 2. I would like to thank Mayor Jim Watson, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Ward 7 Mark Taylor, as well as all residents who have voiced support for this addition. As we all know, it is Stittsville’s booming population as well as Kanata’s high-tech industry that has prompted a west-end LRT extension to the City’s attention. Hopefully, this will help to remedy some of the difficulties experiences by some residents with long downtown commutes. It is with anticipation that with this new environmental assessment underway, the new proposed extension will receive appropriate funding and land in West Ottawa as quickly as possible. For all updates regarding the Confederation Line LRT, please visit www.ligneconfederationline.ca. To learn more about the current construction of the Light Rail Transit and to track its progress, please visit www.stage2lrt.ca. Working together, we can ensure that Ottawa remains a great place to live.
Stittsville Public High School Update
I would like to give a quick update regarding the efforts to obtain a Stittsville Public High School. On June 3rd, through my office, a meeting was organized with MPP Lisa MacLeod, Ottawa Carleton School Board Trustee Lynn Scott along with Jennifer Smith and Jenny Guth from the community to discuss how we can work moving forward to maintain our community’s position as number one on the capital funding list of priorities for a public high school in Stittsville. As a result of this meeting a petition of signatures in support of a new public high school for Stittsville was circulated on the following weekend to residents and provided to Ms MacLeod to present the following day at Queen’s Park. On Monday, June 6th, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod introduced the petition to the legislature expressing her support for a Stittsville Public High School during question period. Now, upon her request, a new petition has begun circulating Stittsville to be presented to the Minister of Education, Liz Sandals. I would like to thank our two committee members Jennifer Smith and Jenny Guth and their team for all of their hard work on this campaign I would also like to thank Lisa MacLeod for her support to the endeavours of the community. Residents are requested to continue to sign the petitions available for additional support. Petitions can be found in the mailboxes at 40 Ember Glow Court, 224 Helm Circle, 40 Amethyst Crescent as well as in my ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, 1500 Shea Road. My office hours are Monday 9-2, Wednesday, 3-8, Friday 9-5, and Saturday 9-1.
Always Listening
As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community.

Celebrating 40th anniversary of ordination John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It may never rise to the top of the music charts but the song “The Story of Father Joe Muldoon” proved to be a hit for a capacity crowd at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall in Stittsville on Saturday evening, June 11. It was the occasion of a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood for Monsignor Joseph Muldoon who is the current pastor at Holy Spirit Parish. The song was recycled, having been written and originally sung on the occasion of Msgr. Muldoon’s 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood when he was the pastor at The Good Shepherd parish in the east end of the city. For last Saturday’s performance by singer Prema Vijayan, who accompanied herself on the guitar, the lyrics to the song were updated to bring its story up to date. Everyone in the parish hall, numbering over 200, were encouraged to sing along with the final refrain of the song, filling the hall with the lyrics “Come let us sing/ Let us sing and tell the story/About Monsignor/Joe Muldoon.” The eight verse song, sung to the tune of “C’est l’aviron qui nous mene en rond, told the story of Fr. Muldoon’s birth in Dunrobin, his schooling in Almonte as well as at St. Pius X High School and St. Pat’s College, his seminary days, his ordination day and its weather-related happenings, his parishes over the years and his current pastor position at Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Stittsville. Indeed, in his homily at the 5 p.m. mass at Holy Spirit Church just before the parish hall celebration, Msgr. Muldoon had referred to some of these life highlights including the weather on his ordination day, June 11, 1976, as well as the parishes at which he has served over the past 40 years. His ordination day started out sunny but then that June day in 1976 saw hail, rain and thunder, toppling a tree onto the convent roof and knocking out the hydro to the church. But the 7:30 p.m. ordination went ahead, with the hydro coming back on just as the ordination service was to begin. Msgr.Muldoon listed the parishes at which he has served over the years – St. George from 1976 to 1980, St. Martin de Porres from 1980 to 1982, Our Lady of the Visitation from 1982 to 1987, St. Maurice from 1987 to 1993, St. John the Apostle from 1993 to 2000, The Good Shepherd from 2000 to 2008; and Holy Spirit from 2012 to the present, following a four year stint from 2008 to 2012 as the Episcopal Vicar of the Archdiocese. He told the full church that he was still enjoying being a parish priest, noting that he is now 66 years old and adding that the mandatory retirement age for parish priests of 75 is still nine years away. Msgr. Muldoon celebrated this 5 p.m. mass in the company of two fellow priests, Rev. John White and Rev. Gerard Monaghan. Other priests who attended the following celebration included Rev. Frank
Brewer who served Holy Spirit Mission, the precursor of the present-day Holy Spirit Parish, when he was parish priest at Holy Redeemer Parish in Kanata. At the 40th anniversary ordination celebration in the parish hall following the 5 p.m. mass, Msgr. Muldoon moved around the room, greeting and chatting with those present. Pat Foley, who served as the MC for a brief round of speeches at the event, noted that this event was special in that not many parishes get the opportunity to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the ordination of their pastor. Speaker Louise Beggs, representing the parish, commented that many got to know Msgr. Muldoon when he served as the unofficial co-coach of the Ottawa Senators during their exciting end-of-season run for the playoffs in the 2014-2015 season. She noted how he was interviewed on radio and in the media, adding that during this time no mass was complete until Msgr. Muldoon asked the congregation to pray for the Senators. A number of newspaper clippings and photographs along with some Senators memorabilia were on display in the church foyer as a further reminder of Msgr. Muldoon’s role in the Senators’ captivating run for the playoffs a little over a year ago. Louise noted that Msgr. Muldoon has the qualities which are associated with an “ideal pastor,” namely that he gets along with everyone from children to seniors and that he is modest and humble with “absolutely no pretensions.” She called Msgr. Muldoon “a kind and good priest” with a great sense of humour who loves music, adding that he is “loyal, devoted and dedicated” while remaining “young at heart.” Another speaker, Tom Flood from Holy Redeemer Parish in Kanata, noted that Msgr. Muldoon had done good work in many parishes in the Archdiocese. “You truly have been a Good Shepherd to many parishes, not just Good
Shepherd,” he said in reference to Msgr. Muldoon’s service from 2000 to 2008 at The Good Shepherd Parish. He too referenced Msgr. Muldoon’s coaching advice to the Ottawa Senators in early 2015, saying it helped the Senators on their “miraculous run” to the playoffs. He noted that this should count as Msgr. Muldoon’s first miracle on his way to qualify for sainthood. Tom did thank Msgr. Muldoon for his role in helping with the creation of Holy Redeemer in Kanata when he served as parish priest at St. Martin de Porres Parish in the early 1980’s when it covered the Kanata area. Another speaker, Joanna Sisk, representing the Catholic Women’s League of Canada, thanked Msgr. Muldoon for serving as the C.W.L. diocesan advisor for the past three years. Also thanking Msgr. Muldoon for his support were the Holy Spirit Catholic Women’s League and the Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus Council. In his brief remarks at the celebration, delivered just before cutting a cake marking the 40th anniversary of his ordination, Msgr. Muldoon thanked everyone for organizing and attending the celebration. He remarked that while he enjoyed working at the Archdiocesan level as Episcopal Vicar, his heart has always been in parish work. He said that it does not matter in which parish it happens because he finds that people are very giving and caring in every parish. A book of congratulations was placed on a table leading into the parish hall which those attending could sign and offer congratulations to Msgr. Muldoon on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his ordination. Bookmarks and small cards outlining Msgr. Muldoon’s service as a priest from 1976 to the present were available on this table. There was also a basket on the table in which parishioners and visitors could place cards of congratulations for Msgr. Muldoon.

Community strawberry supper John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
One of the best times of the year is nearly here – strawberry season. And with the advent of strawberry season comes one of the most enjoyable and certainly one of the most delicious events of the year – the annual community strawberry supper hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville. This year’s community strawberry supper will take place on Wednesday, June 29 in the church hall, with three sittings being offered – 4 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. And, don’t forget, there’s also take out available! Early purchase of tickets is recom-
mended to get the sitting that you want. This is because some of the sittings sell out quickly. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street leading into Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville. This annual supper will include turkey, ham and a wide variety of salads as well as the star of the event- fresh local strawberries, served over vanilla ice cream. Wow! Tickets are adults $15 each; children aged 6-12 years $5 each; and children aged 5 and under free. For tickets, call the church at 613-8311256 or call Geppy Walton at 613-8365019.

These embellishments provide something to pull, push or move about such as a zipper to pull back and forth, a pocket flap to open and close, a bead to tug at, a row of tassels to fell or a closed pocket that crunches when squeezed. All of these embellishments or attachments must be affixed securely to the quilt so that any pulling, twisting or chewing by a person with Alzheimer’s disease will not dislodge
them. “Touch quilts” usually feature bright, contrasting colours as Alzheimer’s patients are drawn to cheerful colours and enjoy lots of favourite colours. A ‘touch quilt” should have lots of excitement for fingers. It should be strong and safe so nothing will come off and so it will stand up to patient abuse and harsh washing. They are one way to help a person with Alzheimer’s disease stay calm and cope with their anxiety.

COUNT SMART Specializing in Disability & Medical Tax Credits Recent statistics reveal that almost 40% of Canadians have some type of physical or mental limitation due to an identifiable disability or medical condition. What many of them (and their families) have in common is the lack of knowledge when it comes to successfully applying for a disability tax credit. Count Smart, headquartered in Orleans, may be a relatively new firm helping Canadians reduce their tax burden, but their expert staff represents decades in the field of tax regulations and they provide their service across Canada as well. Company president Barbara Mentus took some time recently to answer a few questions on a tax topic that is costing Canadians more than they ever imagined; failure to claim disability tax credits. What is a Disability Tax Credit? It’s a non-refundable income tax credit that can substantially reduce the tax burden on those suffering from or afflicted with a wide range of physical and mental challenges. This credit is available to both children and adults. It’s applicable to specific restrictions relating to walking, speaking, hearing, dressing, feeding, vision, bowel or bladder functions, life sustaining therapy and mental functions necessary for everyday life. It can relate to difficulty in completing everyday tasks. In order to qualify, the impairment must have lasted for a continuous period of at least 12 months, be verified by a medical doctor and must meet criteria set out by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It can be applied to any taxable income of the individual involved or a family member that provides financial assistance for the basic necessities of life. There are specific requirements that must be present and consistent in order for a family member to claim the credit. There are also other associated credits that may be claimed alongside the disability tax credit. How much is this credit worth? To the average Canadian this can represent a major savings in income tax and it varies depending on income and other deductions. Depending on an individual’s situation, in some cases it can be applied retroactively for a 10 year period (if the impairment was in existence for that length of time) and they will receive a cheque for the value of the credit applied over those annual tax returns. This may be a large amount in the thousands of dollars depending on individual circumstances. What can Count Smart do to help those seeking this credit? Our representatives can help assess each individual in a confidential and respectful manner. We can assist in obtaining the necessary medical practitioners’ documents that CRA will need to verify application.Wewillhelpcompleteallthenecessarytaxadjustments to ensure that they are filed in proper order and to maximize our clients’ refunds on their behalf. Our staff has extensive background in accounting and tax regulations and has worked with many clients to help them achieve the credits they deserve. Why don’t those with disabilities get this credit as soon as they need it? In conversations with our clients we often find many were not aware that they may be eligible, others found dealing with Canada Revenue Agency overwhelming, others were previously denied the credit and simply gave up. Some don’t have the time or the knowledge to successfully navigate the red tape. Our staff handles the application from start to finish. We truly advocate on their behalf. How does Count Smart get paid for their services? There are no fees up front. We only get paid if they receive a refund. It’s a win-win situation because it is 100% risk free. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining a refund for our clients, there is no cost to the client. All it takes is a phone call. You can learn more about us on our website at countsmart.ca or by calling 1-844-832-1777 for your free consultation. 18 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 16, 2016

Funds from Family Fun Day helping youth bound for Mexico Continued from page 18
The merchants at the plaza, who organized this Family Fun Day, saw youngsters enjoy such activities as face painting, a bubble pool, pottery painting and bean bag bowling. There was also a BBQ at the event which ran from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Funds raised at this year’s Family Fun Day are going to help a youth group from the Kanata Baptist Church which is travel-
ling to Oaxaca in Mexico from July 21 to July 31 to help out at an orphanage there. The funds will help the youth pay for their air travel to Mexico. The room and board for the youth while they are in Mexico is being covered by the Kanata Baptist Church. A display featuring photographs and information about this mission trip to Mexico was set up at the Family Fun Day with several participants in the trip on hand to explain about the trip to any inquiring visi-
tors. Jeff Kenmir, one of the four-member leadership team that will accompany the eight youth on the trip, explained that the group will arrive in Oaxaca ready to serve. This could take the form of preparing meals, gardening, clearing brush, painting or any other tasks that need to be done. One thing that is certain, though – the visiting youth will be interacting with the youngsters at the orphanage. The Kanata Baptist Church sees a team of adults travel to Mexico every year on a mission trip. For instance, Kanata Baptist Church adults have helped build a wall around the orphanage property not only for security but to help keep rainy season flood waters off the site. They have also built a school on the site and someday hope to build a church there as well. However, this is the first time in 12 years
that a team of youth will be travelling to Mexico on a Kanata Baptist Church mission trip. Austin Rothenberg, one of the youth who will be going on this trip to Mexico in July, said that he is going because he loves helping people. Another youth who is going on the trip, Izzy Laidlaw, echoes this sentiment about helping people while also saying that she likes to meet different people and to go outside of her comfort zone in doing different things, like this mission trip to Mexico. But whatever the reason for going, one thing is certain, as acknowledged by leadership team member Jeff Kenmir – the experience is memorable and youth who return from such a trip never view things quite the same as they did before the trip. It is that life changing!

Sacred Heart High School student Logan McGinn has a phenomenal memory. He remembers dates and the makes of people’s vehicles. But while he has this great memory, he recently received an award not for his memory but for the concern that he shows towards his fellow students at Sacred Heart. Logan was the recipient for Sacred Heart of a Persons Award at the recent “Celebrating Excellence” ceremony held by the Ottawa Catholic School Board which honours one special needs student from each of the Board’s schools. And what an impact Logan made when he walked out onto the stage at St. Paul Catholic High School in Ottawa to receive his Persons Award at this “Celebrating Excellence” event. Facing the audience in the packed auditorium at the school, Logan stretched out his arms and shouted “Welcome Everyone.” It was a memorable moment for all present who won’t soon forget Logan. Logan is always asking other students at Sacred Heart about
how their day is going. If a student is not in class on a particular day, he will remember and will ask them about their absence when he sees them the next time. And this is not a one-time thing – he is always asking about his fellow students and is always showing concern for them. Logan has had a phenomenal memory since he was young. Indeed, he could spell before he could read. Logan, who is autistic, was involved in a car accident when he was in grade six at St. Martin de Porres Catholic School in Kanata.
Logan McGinn
This resulted in him missing one and a half years of school due to the effects from the accident. But then he started attending at Sacred Heart, first just one hour a day and then eventually full time. This is his third year as a student at Sacred Heart and his second year of full time attendance. Logan keeps busy when at home. He enjoys jumping on his trampoline and takes the family’s two boxer dogs, Belle and Brutus, who are rescue dogs, for walks. Logan also loves Disney movies, as he is familiar with every Disney movie and even knows the lines said by a particular character in these movies. It’s that phenomenal memory in action once again! Logan also likes to ride a bicycle when at home. At school, Logan’s favourite day of the week is Wednesday because that’s pizza day and he likes pizza. He also likes the yoga which happens on Fridays and also enjoys riding a stationery bike. He also likes to walk around the track at the school and likes sports like soccer. Logan also likes watching music videos on the computer and his favourite radio station is Hot 89.9 with the music that it plays.

Goulbourn Jubilee Singers to perform in Austria, Czech Republic John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers are going to be heard in Europe in July. That’s because 30 members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers will be performing in various venues in both Austria and the Czech Republic in early July. The choir will be singing in the Cantus Salisburgensis Festival as well as performing additional
concerts in Salzburg, Melk Abbey and Prague. For this European tour, the Jubilee Singers will be directed by Linda Crawford with the accompaniment of Bonnie MacDiarmid. On Friday, July 8, the Jubilee Singers will be performing at the main venue of the Cantus Salisburgensis Festival, namely the Mozarteum which is Salzburg’s University for Music and the Dramatic Arts. At the Cantus
Salisburgensis Festival, the Jubilee Singers will be sharing the stage with a youth choir from Prince Edward Island. Other performances by the Jubilee Singers in Salzburg will include a noon time concert at the Hohesalzburg (Salzburg Castle) and also a performance of Mozart’s Missa Solemnis at the Salzburg Cathedral along with the Cathedral’s choir. The Jubilee Singers will also be performing in the Abbey Church
at Melk Abbey and will also be singing in a Friendship Concert in Prague along with Cantarina, the host choir for the Jubilee Singers for this trip. Goulbourn Jubilee Singers choir director Linda Crawford is pleased that during this tour, the Jubilee Singers are going to be able to introduce a number of Canadian-composed and arranged pieces to audiences in Europe. In addition, director Crawford is pleased that during the trip,
the Jubilee Singers will have the opportunity to sing some of the best liturgical pieces ever written including the Missa Solemnis in the very Cathedral for which Mozart wrote the piece and where it had its debut in 1780. This European trip by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers will run from Wednesday, July 6 to Friday, July 15. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers are the longest established choir in the west end of Ottawa.

Planters at Village Square feature ‘shovel signs’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society has once again planted flowers in the four concrete planters at Village Square Park in Stittsville.
And this year the Society has left evidence of its efforts thanks to new “shovel” shaped signs that have been placed in each planter. The shovels read “Courtesy of: Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society.” These specially-designed “shovel” signs
were created for the Horticultural Society by Stittsville Glass & Signs on Stittsville Main Street right beside Village Square Park. The Horticultural Society members planted flowers in the planters at Village Square Park on Saturday, June 4 so that
they would look good for the annual “Arts in the Park” event planned for the next day, Sunday, June 5. However, “Arts in the Park” did not happen due to rainy weather conditions. “Arts in the Park” is being re-scheduled to Sunday, Aug. 14.

Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville taking shape John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Canada Day 2016 is fast approaching but the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has been busy preparing for a day of celebrations in Stittsville as usual. Once again this year the Canada Day celebrations will be held on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street. SVA president Tanya Hein reported at the SVA’s June 9th executive meeting that fundraising to date, reaching just under $22,000, will cover all of the basic attractions, with more fundraising to come in. Once again this year there will be a gala fireworks display to cap off the celebrations. There will be inflatable attractions for youngsters and lots of on-stage entertainment being assembled by Bill Martin. Glow sticks will be handed out just before darkness falls. Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria and Pong’s Poutine will both be on site providing their well-known food product. The Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus will be on hand offering frozen treats. And while the organization of the event is taking shape, there remains a desperate need for volunteers to help out with the set up and take down as well as performing tasks throughout the day. If you are interested in helping out and being a volunteer at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Stittsville, please contact SVA volunteer co-ordinator Marilyn Jenkins at 613-836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@ rogers.com. 24 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 16, 2016
Bus trip to RCMP Musical Ride John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The RCMP Musical Ride is known around the world and you can see it later this month right at the Musical Ride Centre in Rockcliffe as the RCMP presents its annual Musical Ride Sunset Ceremonies. And you can get a ride right from Stittsville to the Musical Ride Centre on Thursday, June 23, so you do not even have to drive there yourself. The bus will leave Stittsville at 5 p.m. on Thursday,
June 23. Cost for the bus is only $10 per person. Those planning to go should take along a blanket. To arrange a seat on the bus or for more information, please contact Marion Gullock at 613-836-5254. The Musical Ride Sunset Ceremonies, which will be presented from June 22 to June 26, include the equestrian abilities show, a mounted arms display, the RCMP/ Ottawa Police Services Pipes and Drums and dancers and the Central Band of the Canadian Forces. At the event, the RCMP
Foundation will be accepting donations on site in support of Canadian youth initiatives. The RCMP Musical Ride, which dates back to 1887, is an equestrian event showcasing the skills of 32 riders and their horses. A performance, which consists of intricate figures and drills choreographed to music, demands control, timing and coordination by the horses and riders. The RCMP Musical Ride performs in up to 50 communities across Canada between May and October each year.

Paraphrasing that famous phrase attributed to Julius Caesar about 47 B.C., namely “I came; I saw; I conquered”, dignitaries attending the public unveiling and ribbon cutting at the new Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre in the Carp Road business corridor at Richardson Sideroad could claim “I came; I toured; I opened.” These dignitaries who took part in touring the new state-of-the-art facility before participating in a brief ribbon cutting ceremony included city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, and city of Ottawa councillors Allan Hubley of Kanata South ward, Marianne Wilkinson of Kanata North ward, Eli El-Chantiry of West CarletonMarch ward and Scott Moffatt of RideauGoulbourn ward. They were given a tour of the facility by Lee Timmins, assistant manager, projects and municipal business development at Tomlinson Environmental Services, and Michael Clement, general manager of the environmental division for Tomlinson Environmental Services. Among others on hand for the tour and ribbon cutting include Kevin Cinq-Mars, president of Tomlinson, and Jason Wagner, operations manager of the new facility. The tour and subsequent ribbon cutting took place just after 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, right at the beginning of a community open house at the facility.
The dignitaries on the tour were shown everything, right from where the construction debris is initially dumped by contractor customers to examining a residue product that is considered ideal as cover for landfill. And in between, what did they see? They saw a maze of covered conveyor belts which has a roller coaster appearance to it but which serves to separate the waste into different recovery streams. There are even magnets along the way which pick out metal objects. Tour guide Lee Timmins acknowledged the maze look of the facility but assured everyone that every piece of the equipment has a purpose to it. They climbed steel stairs to visit the sorting area where 14 staff members separate the materials as they move into and through the area on a conveyor belt. There are two long conveyor belts from which the items are picked and allocated to a particular destination such as a bin for plastics or a bin for drywall. This sorting centre can process more than 50 tonnes of construction debris and remnant material per hour which adds up to 500 tonnes per day. The facility is able to recover or recycle a minimum of 80 percent of the construction materials delivered for processing, keeping them out of the landfill. And it is expected that this 80 percent figure will increase over time as markets open up for the materials currently going
unrecovered. Even stone and rock is removed from the debris stream as it has a use. It was pointed out that this sorting centre creates virtually no dust and that the operation is quiet enough that the workers can listen to music in the facility as they do their sorting.
Touring beneath this second storey sorting centre, the tour group discovered bin after bin, each holding one of the sorted items such as plastics and drywall. There is an area where wood chips are collected, a popular bedding product for the agricultural community. See 80 PERCENT, page 28

Lee Timmins said that adjustments are still being made to the facility such as adjusting the air pressure in some of the conveyor lines to ensure maximum functioning. This tour was followed by a brief ribbon cutting ceremony. Kevin Cinq-Mars, president of Tomlinson, in his remarks, noted that the Tomlinson Group, which now operates in both Canada and the United States, was founded in 1952 by Ralph Tomlinson with a just one single-axle dump truck. The company has now become a leader in transportation infrastructure and environmental services. “We see waste as a resource,” he said while noting that the new facility is all about diverting waste from landfills. West Carleton ward councillor Eli El-Chantiry expressed appreciation for the fact that this new Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre could recover 80 percent of home construction and home renovation materials, keeping them out of the landfill. And as he said this, he noted that the site of the new facility was within virtual viewing distance of the Carp Road landfill site over which there has been such controversy in recent years. Mayor Jim Watson, before cut-
ting the ribbon to open the new facility, stated that society today cannot just keep burying its garbage. This is why facilities like this new Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre are needed. This new Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre will support recycling and recovery efforts for all manner of construction materials including source separation of cardboard and plastic, reclaiming construction materials like aggregates, rock and concrete which can be crushed and re-used, recycling of metals and wood and the conversion of mixed materials into biomass or fuel sources. This single stream processing plate leverages new technologies in screening and utilizing air pressure to sort material based on size and weight which is why the plant has a higher diversion rate than possible previously. “This new facility will be the most technologically advanced recovery facility of its kind in North America and takes advantage of new technologies, robust processes and our years of experience in the industry,” Timmins states. This construction waste recovery centre will be able to divert more than 110,000 tonnes of materials away from landfills each year.
Fundraiser shows home town support for Erica Wiebe John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Funds raised at a fundraiser like the one held for Olympic-bound Canadian wrestler Erica Wiebe of Stittsville on Thursday, June 9 are important for the money raised but even more important as evidence of the community support for such an athlete. This was the sentiment expressed by Canadian Olympic athlete Cody Sorensen who competed in the bobsled event at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, who, in his remarks at the fundraiser, said that events like this fundraiser do wonders for the performances of Olympic athletes because they show the support that an athlete has back in their home town. And Erica, a Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduate who is now one of the top ranked wrestlers in the women’s 75 kg weight class in the world, got this message of support from the close to 100 people who attended the event at the NeXT Restaurant in Stittsville. “I’m just floored by the people here and the energy in this crowd,” Erica said during her remarks near the end of the evening. She said that when she went to
Calgary eight years ago to train and compete, it was because she wanted to be the best that she could be. She has now qualified for the Olympics coming up in Brazil this summer and she thanked her family, her neighbours and all those others who have supported her in this Olympic quest. She said that when she represents Canada at the Rio Olympics, she will be there because of all of those who have supported her and she said that in Rio, she will be wrestling for Olympic gold on behalf of all those who have supported her. In his remarks at the event, Cody Sorensen told what the Olympics mean to an athlete, trying to explain the feeling that an athlete has in representing Canada at the Olympics. He said that going to the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014 was a big part of his life and indeed was a dream come true. And even though he finished last in the Olympics after entering the Olympics ranked third in the world, he noted that the Olympics are not about results. “It’s the journey that really matters,” he said. And his father, Ole Sorensen,
who is also an Olympian as he wrestled for Canada in the 1972 Olympics in Munich, echoed these thoughts about what it means to be an Olympian. He admitted that he lost badly in the 1972 Olympics but whatever the outcome at the Games, an Olympian has a huge responsibility in how he or she conducts themselves afterward because they are now an Olympian. Ole noted that Erica is among the top two or three female wrestlers in her weight class in the world and she could very well be the Olympic champion. But he noted that in the Olympics, victories are determined by fractions of a second or the tiniest of margins and that wrestling is no different in this than other sports. “You are 100th of a second away at all times from taking it all,” he said about Olympic competitors like Erica. Another speaker during the evening was Nori Gowan, who is manager of the Canada Museum of Science and Technology who announced that when the Museum re-opens in 2017, it will feature a display about the high tech tank top which Erica wears in training that tracks her movements and her
breathing. This training equipment when on display will be telling the story not only of Canadian technology innovation but also will be telling Erica’s story as well at the same time. The display will also include a display of Erica’s medals and memorabilia. This June 9th fundraising event for Erica Wiebe, which included remarks by guest speakers interspersed with periods of mingling, conversation and enjoying delicacies prepared by chef Michael Blackie of the NeXT Restaurant, was MC’d by Mike Smith who is the chief coach of the National Capital Wrestling Club and who coached Erica when she first began to wrestle with the Club while in high school. He noted that Erica “was an athletic individual” when he met her, playing soccer as well as wrestling. He said that Erica did not do that well in wrestling at first but that she got better and better, adding that she was a “coachable athlete.” She ended up doing well at the provincial high school wrestling championships and then went on to do well at the University of Calgary. But he also noted that over the years, Erica has always made time to work out and try to inspire
young athletes. He said that Erica is a down-toearth individual who is about to do an extraordinary thing in representing her country at the Olympics. It will be on Thursday, Aug. 18 that Erica will take to the mat in her opening match in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. See TRIVIA OLYMPICS, page 30

Some of the medals which Erica has won as well as a pair of her wrestling shoes were on display during the evening. A Trivia Olympics was also conducted during the evening, with those present receiving a sheet of paper listing ten questions with multiple choice answers provided. Three winners were drawn from the entries, each receiving a gift pack. Questions in these Trivia Olympics included “When was women’s wrestling first included as part of the Olympic Games?”, “What was Erica’s weight class when she first started wrestling in grade 9?” and “When competing internationally, Erica always brings” (a childhood stuffie, a jar of nutella, a Harry Potter fan fictrion or lucky socks?).

grade seven and wrestled until she graduated in 2007. She then went on to attend the University of Calgary and wrestling for the Calgary Dinos. Calgary is the training centre for the women’s Canadian wrestling team. Erica, a woman’s freestyle wrestler in the 75 kg weight class, is a three time Canadian Interuniversity Sport national champion, a six time Canadian national champion, the 2014 university world champion, the 2014 Commonwealth Games champion and now a member of Canada’s 2016 Olympic wrestling team. Over the years, Erica has won gold medals in events in Sweden, the United States, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Scotland, Russia and Spain. Just recently, she competed at the German Grand Prix, winning the event against one of the top ranked wrestlers in the world from Belarus.
Erica has served as a motivational speaker, presenting to over 8,000 elementary and high school youth across Canada, providing messages on the benefits of living a passionate life, setting goals and staying true to one’s own values. She has served as a youth coach in Calgary and has been an athlete ambassador for Right To Play, an organization which tries to help youth recognize their potential and to realize their dreams. Erica has also been an athlete ambassador for “Fast & Female,” an organization which works to encourage positive person and athletic development of young female athletes.

Sacred Heart Huskies are girls rugby champions John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The Sacred Heart High School Huskies are National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association girls rugby champions. The Huskies defeated the Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School squad in the Tier 1 championship final played at Sacred Heart in Stittsville on a sunny, somewhat breezy Monday, June 6. This victory marked the end of an undefeated season for the Sacred Heart team which had chalked up five straight wins in the regular season, capped off with this victory in the
championship final. This championship victory was a little bit of dĂŠjĂ vu for the Huskies as eight years ago, the Huskies also defeated Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the championship final. The Sacred Heart Huskies played in the nine-team West Division of the high school girls rugby league, defeating Earl of March High School (twice), St. Joseph High School, A.Y. Jackson Secondary School and Woodroffe High School in its regular season games before meeting Sir Wilfird Laurier High School in the championship final. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, playing in the eight-team East Division of the league, had also gone through the regular season undefeated with five straight victories.
In the regular season, the Sacred Heart Huskies had scored 262 points, the most by any team in the league, while allowing only five points to the opposition, the least allowed by any team in the league. Members of the Sacred Heart Huskies girls rugby team this season were Brennah Agnew, Caitlin Bauer, Kiersten Campbell, Maggie Dimock, Sarah Dimpengi, Ashley Fitzpatrick, Erin Francispillai, Paige Griffin, Soha Issa, Maddie Junkin, Maggie Lafortune, Becky Liard, Yvonne Lunn, Amy MacNeil, Amanda Maniraho, Emily Mount, Quinn Murphy, Emily Partello, Jessica Perigo, Jordy Perry, Savannah Pinto, Holly Reid, Laura Simmons, Tori Smith, Alexis St. Pierre, Jade Villeneuve and Kristelle Yabut.

The simple answer is “possibly”. In determining whether or not a step-parent will be required to pay support, there are several factors that merit consideration. The courts have determined that the test of whether or not a child is entitled to support from a step-parent is whether or not that person “stands in the place of a parent”, which is a fact-driven analysis. Some of the factors to be considered in determining whether the relationship meets the test include the opinion of the child, the participation of the child with extended family of the step-parent, About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm.

whether the step-parent disciplines the child, and the nature of the relationship between the child and the absent parent. In considering these factors and others, the courts will look at the overall nature of the relationship and determine if the step-parent “stands in the place of the parent”. It should be noted that a breakdown in the relationship between the step-parent and the child following separation is not a consideration. Furthermore, receipt of support from a biological parent is not a bar to a finding that a step-parent is required to pay child support.

New medical facility, eight doctors in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
A new medical hub including family physicians, a pharmacy, physiotherapy, laboratory services and diagnostic imaging, all under one roof, is coming to Richmond. It is expected that this new medical facility will be open at the corner of Perth Street and Rochelle Drive (kitty corner from the Richmond fire hall) in the fall of 2017. In the interim, doctors associated with this new medical facility are going to be working out of the existing Goulbourn Richmond Medical Centre of Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb. Already three of the new doctors have begun practising in Richmond and more are coming, A total of eight doc-
tors have been signed up for the new medical facility which will have room for two more as well. The new medical facility will be a one storey building that will house both the medical clinic, a pharmacy, a physiotherapy clinic and a waiting room, all accessed by the same entrance. The medical clinic will be 5691 square feet in size while the pharmacy will be 4,380 square feet in size. The physiotherapy clinic will have 1172 square feet while the waiting area will be 1385 square feet in size. The medical facility will be built by Kim Pjilseman of Cedarstone Homes Limited which has built extensively in Richmond since 1989. He views the new medical facility as part of a “wellness centre” with

Vincent Colizza of Vincent P. Colizza Architects designing the facility. In the long term, the project may also include a seniors rental building. The first phase of the project will include the medical centre including a pharmacy which has been identified as the Richmond IDA Pharmacy. The building has been designed with a residential appearance to respect the character of Richmond, although the building will have appropriate signage. Parking will be provided between the medical centre facility and the future seniors building and additional retail space for future medical services. At the Richmond Village Association (RVA) general meeting on Tuesday, June 7 at which these medical clinic plans were unveiled, Karim Merani of the Richmond IDA Pharmacy expressed excitement at being part of this project, saying that this will give the Richmond IDA Pharmacy an opportunity to expand its pharmacy services while offer-
ing more open hours. Canadian Medical Alliance, which offers diagnostic imaging services throughout the Ottawa area, will be providing its services at this new medical facility. In addition, Biotest Industries, an Ottawa area medical lab located in Bells Corners, is currently offering limited services at the temporary premises in the Goulbourn RichmondMedicalCentre medical building but it will be offering extended hours and services once the new facility is open. This whole project
came about thanks to the efforts of medical consultants Donna Sarrazin and Lisa Pushee of Medical Management Inc. They initiated the concept of a new Richmond medical centre and with the support of the Ontario Ministry of Health, they have brought together a team of stakeholders who are working together to create this new medical facility. Eight family physicians have now been signed up for the new medical centre with room for two more to join later.
Three of the eight new physicians are now practising in Richmond, operating out of the medical space of Dr. Rod and Lucy Rabb. Over the next five months, the additional new physicians will be starting their practices in Richmond, first on a temporary basis sharing the Rabb facility and then in the new facility. The relatively small space provided by the Rabb medical centre facility is challenging to accommodate all of the doctors but the goal is for everyone to
be in place when the new medical facility opens in 18 months or so. It is hoped that paperwork related to the construction of the new medical facility will be processed by the city of Ottawa by this fall, with a site plan approved by next January. This would allow for construction to begin next spring with occupancy in the fall. The site does need to be rezoned to accommodate the new development. See MEDICAL, page43

Medical facility Continued from page 41
Donna Sarrazin of Medical Management Inc. makes it very clear that this new medical facility project has been inspired by the dedication that Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb have shown to the community of Richmond and beyond over the years. She noted that Dr. Rod and Lucy Rabb had invited those involved with the new medical facility including all of the new physicians to share their Goulbourn Richmond Medical Centre premises until the new facility is built. This allows the new physicians to start their practices in the community right away instead of waiting until the new centre opens in the fall of 2017. In this arrangement, the physicians are accepting new patients while providing support to Dr. Rod and Lucy Rabb as they move towards their retirement. And all of the Rabbs’ patients are going to be looked after. Ms. Sarrazin said at the RVA meeting that there is an absolute guarantee that all of the Rabbs’ patients will have a doctor at the end of the day when the new medical facility is open and the Rabbs move to retire. She said that all Rabb patients will be guaranteed a spot with one of the new physicians. There will be some choice involved, she noted.

in April and continues to add new patients. She completed her medical residency in family practice in London, ON in 2011 and for the past four years has been working in rural and northern communities. She has an interest in sports medicine, pediatrics and women’s health. Dr. Elaine Riddick has been practising in Richmond for the past few weeks. She completed her
medical degree in Liverpool before moving to Ottawa to study obstetrics and gynecology. She switched to family practice and is interested in women’s health and seniors. Dr. Jeanette Belanger completed her family medicine residency in 2006 and was an emergency physician at CHEO as well as running her own family medicine practice in Nepean. In 2013, she moved with her family to South Africa.
She will be returning from South Africa and will be starting at the new temporary clinic in Richmond at the end of June. Dr. Alison Pittman, originally from Newfoundland, completed her family medicine residency last spring in Ottawa. She is interested in serving all types of patients from babies to the elderly. She will be starting at the clinic in July.
Just who are these physicians who are coming to Richmond to serve in the new medical facility that is expected to open in the fall of 2017? By the end of the summer, all of these eight family physicians should be working in Richmond, sharing space with Drs. Lucy See NEW PATIENTS, page 48 and Rod Rabb at their medical centre premises. This arrangement will continue until the new facility opens. Dr. Neera Aggarwal has been working in these temporary quarters at the Goulbourn Richmond Medical Centre since last January. She brought a patient group with her and has also accepted some new patients from the community over the past few months which has resulted in her practice already being full. Dr. Aggarwal practiced medicine in India for 14 years before moving to Canada in 2008. She completed family medicine training at the University of Ottawa, JOHN CURRY/METROLAND graduating in 2011.

Personalized service at Richmond Village Pharmacy John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Pharmacist George O’Donnell lives within walking distance of his new Richmond Village Pharmacy in Richmond but that’s not the real reason why he and pharmacy partner Georgetta Botehkan are excited
about their new venture. He and Georgetta are excited because their new pharmacy is going to allow them to deliver a personal touch to serving customers. Both have lots of experience as pharmacists, working with large chains, but now their own pharmacy will allow them to be more personalized with
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
George O’Donnell and Georgetta Botehkan stand together in their new Richmond Village Pharmacy at 6146 Perth Street in Richmond. The pharmacy is holding its grand opening this Saturday, June 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with everyone welcome to drop in.
their service, providing consultation and counselling. This means offering things like clinic days on nutrition and life styles to help customers live healthier lives thanks to exercise, diet and nutrition with as few drugs as possible. The pharmacy’s tag line says it all: “It’s all about your health.” George, who has lived in Richmond for 13 years, says that he just felt that it was time to do his own thing, working as a pharmacist in a community that he knows. He says that Richmond still has a small town community feel to it and he wants his pharmacy to contribute to it. Georgetta hopes to hold information sessions at the pharmacy, dealing with topics such as diabetes and allergies. Both George and Georgetta are certified to administer flu shots while Georgetta is a certified diabetic educator. She also has an extensive knowledge and experience in pediatric and family planning matters. The Richmond Village Pharmacy offers a wide range of
products and if it is not on the shelves at the pharmacy, it can be ordered online 24/7 with the pharmacy arranging for its delivery to your home. Pricing will be competitive with other pharmacies. The Richmond Village Pharmacy is also offering a full range of vitamins and supplements. The Richmond Village Pharmacy is open six days a week (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday) but also provides an emergency phone number for customers that will facilitate emergency service on a Sunday or after hours if needed. Pharmacy hours may change in the future depending on the needs and wishes of customers. George says that additional staff may be hired in the future as the business and community grows but he emphasizes that both he and Georgetta want to be front and centre in the pharmacy, getting to know and to serve customers. They are also trying to create a relaxing ambiance in the pharmacy, providing a cozy area with comfortable seating
for customers, along with coffee to enjoy and literature to read. George is very happy with the pharmacy’s location at 6146 Perth Street, in the same building as the well-known Christopher’s Meat Market and right beside the busy Mac’s and Subway outlet at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street. “This is ground zero in Richmond,” he says about the location, saying that the new pharmacy could not have a better location than this spot between two of the busiest places in the village. This new Richmond Village Pharmacy is holding a grand opening this Saturday, June 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be prizes given away and a BBQ as well as a 15 percent discount offered on all in-store products. Everyone is invited to drop in, meet George and Georgetta and view the premises. Richmond Village Pharmacy can be contacted at 613-8385352 or via email at info@mypharmacy.pro.

New patients welcome Long time Richmond resident Helen Cowick passes away Continued from page 43
Dr. Heather McGee, who grew up in Barrhaven, completed her family medicine education and residency at the University of Ottawa. She has worked in the Ottawa area covering family practice clinics and is also a member of the obstetrics group at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. She opened her obstetrical practice at the temporary clinic in Richmond earlier this month and will be slowly taking on new family practice patients with September being her true start date. Dr. Lee Reichman completed medical school at McGill University in Montreal and completed her family practice residency in Ottawa. She is interested in all aspects of family medicine. She will begin her obstetrics practice in the temporary clinic later this month, taking on some family practice patients over the summer and then more so in September. One additional physician is currently being signed up. These new physicians
bring a variety of experience and expertise to Richmond. They are family practice physicians who have completed additional education in such fields as pediatrics, obstetrics, women’s health, sports medicine and more. While existing patients of Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb are being guaranteed a spot with one of the new physicians when the new medical facility opens, there is still lots of opportunity for those who want to become a patient of one of these new physicians. To register as a new patient with one of the new physicians now practising or about to practice in Richmond, first at the temporary clinic in the Rabb premises and then in the new medical facility opening in the fall of 2017, you should send an email to newphysicians@ gmail.com. You will be sent a “welcome package” to complete. Upon receipt of the requested information, you will receive an email with a “meet and greet” appointment with the physician.

After basic training at Rockcliffe, she attended secretarial training in Toronto, after which she was posted to No. 1 Wireless School in Montreal, followed by postings to St. Hubert and Lachine. She advanced from Airwoman Second Class to Corporal. Among her duties was

A memorial service to celebrate Helen’s life is being held this Saturday, June 18 at 11 a.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond.

FLOOR PLAN JUNE 2016 It’s likely the most important investment you’ll ever make. So now that the me has come to purchase your new home, you want to make sure you get it right. With so many choices on the market today, though, it’s difficult to know how to get started on turning your dream into a reality. There are so many components in your plan to consider: would you like to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe the country? Of course there are the financial considera ons, how much are you willing and able to spend? What type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace or a townhome that might require a li le less maintenance? Or perhaps a condominium is more to your liking? Here in O awa, the possibili es are extensive. So many of Canada’s top home builders operate in the na onal capital region, offering a wide array of housing styles designed to meet the needs of today’s busy families. And Metroland Media is pleased to bring you closer to these awardwinning builders through our monthly supplement, Floor Plan 2016. In this fourth edi on, appearing in your weekly community newspaper, read about some of the exci ng new home designs that are available to you, the services being offered as well as more informa on on the latest innova ons.
A glance at HOME PRICES ACROSS CANADA (NC) With much a en on to home prices these days, property owners are increasingly curious about the value of their homes. According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey, Canada’s residen al real estate market showed strong year-over-year price increases in the first quarter of 2016. The Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate markets con nue to lead the country in home price apprecia on while Quebec shows promising signs of renewal, par cularly in the Greater Montreal Area. The median price of a home in Canada increased 7.9 per cent year-over-year to $512,621 in the first quarter of 2016. The price of a two-storey home rose 9.2 per cent year-over-year to $629,177, and the price of a bungalow increased 6.8 per cent to $426,216. During the same period, the price of a condominium increased 4.0 per cent to $344,491. “A glance at our na onal House Price Composite points to a very strong Canadian real estate market, yet the findings contain extreme regional dispari es of the kind we haven’t seen in over a decade,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage. “Like an economic triumvirate, the impact of rock-bo om interest rates, the low Canadian dollar and a rapidly
expanding U.S. workforce are s mula ng economic growth and housing demand in our largest metropolitan areas. Conversely in ci es like Calgary, the ongoing
drags in depressed energy prices and worrisome employment trends have taken a material bite out of sales volumes.” To view the chart with
aggregated regions and markets visit royallepage.ca/houseprices. This site provides historical house price data as well. newscanada.com

Helpful tips for NEW HOME OWNERS

Read up on the warranty Almost every new home built in Ontario comes with warranty coverage that is provided by the builder and backed by Tarion. In addition to deposit coverage and delayed closing compensation, there are also three separate warranties on new homes. Together, they last up to seven years and include defects in workmanship, violations to the Ontario Building Code, defects in electrical, plumbing and heating systems, and coverage for major structural defects. Your builder should be providing you with a Homeowner Information Package before you take possession with detailed information about the warranty. It is also available at tarion.com.
Inspect your new home carefully Before you move in, your builder is required to take you through a Pre-Delivery Inspection, also known as a PDI. Look for any items that are incomplete, damaged, missing, or not operating properly and make sure your builder notes them on the PDI form. Take pictures of any damaged or incomplete items. If necessary, those photos can be submitted to Tarion – the administrator of Ontario’s new home warranty program – at a later date.

2 Floor Plan West Edition - Thursday, June 16, 2016
Maintain your new home In order to keep your home in good shape for the long run and to maintain your warranty rights, be sure to perform the needed maintenance year-round. There is a comprehensive checklist of seasonal home maintenance tasks on the Tarion site, and remember: ongoing maintenance helps to ensure that your statutory warranty is protected.
Wait to make renovations and repairs Since your new home is under warranty, it’s your builder’s responsibility to take care of any defects that you identify – and in fact, renovating a new home can actually jeopardize your warranty rights. Additional information on your new home warranty is available at Tarion.com newscanada.com

Take a panoramic view WHEN BUYING A NEW HOME
(NC) As you choose your next place to live it’s important to see what is going on around you. You may be concentrating on selecting the perfect floor plan, the right finishes and whether or not to purchase upgrades, but today, new neighbourhoods offer so much more than just a house or condominium to go home to. Many communities are built with a very specific buyer in mind and can come with special conveniences or facilities. For example, a development catering to young families might have a brand new school, parks, or even a new community centre with a swimming pool. It may appear that these extras are the choice of the developer, but in fact, the municipality usually makes them a condition of approval. So the perfect neighbourhood for you and your family may be breaking ground right now. Some of the important questions to get answered beyond floor plans, like how long you may have to wait to enjoy it all, include:
What isn’t part of the picture?
One thing not normally included in a builder’s model of a new community is the parking bylaws. The local municipality office will have information about this for your street and the streets around you. This is important if the availability of street parking is important to you. Your local and provincial levels of government will also have more information on what will be built around you. The municipality signs off on any future development plans for the community so you will be able to see if there is intensification planning in anticipation of population growth. This could mean the green spaces around you now may be developed into more houses or condominiums, schools, or commercial buildings.
How long do I have to wait?
For condominium living, new construction projects may be
sold with plans for indoor or outdoor pools, a lounge, and perhaps a putting green or tennis court. However, you may have to wait some time before everything is completed. In fact, you may be living in a construction zone when you first move in. Under Ontario’s new home warranty program, there is compensation for delays when it comes to your unit, but there is no warranty protection for delays in the completion of the common elements. So although your condominium unit may be ready, the common elements such as the lobby, hallways and any other amenities like a gym or pool room may still be under construction for a period of time after you take possession of your unit. Another important part of the new home buying process is the warranty protection that is provided by your builder and backed by Tarion. If you’re in the market for a brand new home read up on the warranty protection at Tarion.com. newscanada.com
“JOLT PINK” bearded carnation a great summer flower Name:
“Jolt Pink” bearded carna on
Latin name: Dianthus barbatus “Jolt Pink”
Family: Caryophyllaceae
Possible colours: Pink
Height: 40 to 50 cm
Spread: 30-35 cm
Exposure: Sun
Planting: Rich, cool, well-drained soil Submi ed Flowering: The “Jolt Pink” bearded carnation impresses with its big pink flowers throughout the summer. From June to September 4 Floor Plan West Edition - Thursday, June 16, 2016
Specific maintenance and care
Producers have already won several awards for this variety because it is the most drought-tolerant cul var currently available on the market. To prolong flowering, which is con nuous throughout the summer, remove dead flowers; the results will surprise you. Ideally, this carna on should be grown in cool, welldrained soil, but it can tolerate many soil types, from clayey to sandy. Various tests have also found that this flower con nues to bloom well even when the weather turns cool in early fall.
Interesting fact
This compact, durable carna on with a contemporary look has many advantages: it a racts pollinators, especially bu erflies; its flowers are edible and their pink colour adds a beau ful, decora ve touch to your dishes; it looks great in container arrangements as well as flower beds; and it produces big pink flowers on strong stems.

A GARDENING GUIDE for beginners (NC) Have you ever wanted to make a salad from vegetables you grew yourself? Or give a bouquet to your loved one made of fresh flowers picked from your own garden? Or maybe you have just bought a new home and your yard is a blank canvas? Now is your time to shine and grow like a pro with a few tips to get you started: While your first attempt may not be as beautiful as Butchart Gardens in British Columbia, it can certainly serve as inspiration as you begin to visualize how you would like your garden to look. Hop on the web, take a stroll through your neighbourhood or head to your local garden store for some creative inspiration.
Tools
THE SOONER YOU ACT THE SOONER YOU COULD BE RELAXING HERE…
You’ll need to acquire a few essential tools for preparing the soil/space, for planting your seeds and for garden maintenance: • Gloves - To protect your hands from prickles, thorns and dirt, make sure to have some sturdy gardening gloves on hand. • Hand Trowel – This will act as your best friend when it comes time to plant your
seeds, excavate weeds and transport items from pots to your garden. • Wheelbarrow - Investing in a wheelbarrow is a must for gardeners. You’ll likely need to purchase some gardening soil to mix in with your ground soil. Having a wheelbarrow on hand to help you transport the soil from your vehicle to your garden is gold.
Gardening gear
To be a true gardener, you’ll need a few key items in your wardrobe: • Overalls – There’s a reason traditional Carhartt overalls have stayed in style for so long. With room for knee pads for extra cushioning and multiple utility pockets, overalls are essential. • Footwear – You’ll want to wear shoes that are comfortable and functional. Rain boots are are a great option as they are easy to hose off after a day in the dirt. • Sun hat – You’ll likely be spending quite a bit of time outside so it’s best to protect yourself with a wide brimmed hat in addition to wearing sunscreen. newscanada.com

• When you’re done cooking, turn the heat all the way up for a few minutes to burn off any extra food. • Once cooled, put a protective cover on the grill.
Every month:
• Remove the grates and clean them.
6 Floor Plan West Edition- Thursday, June 16, 2016
• Replace or clean the grease drip tray while the grates are drying.
Annually:
• Replace hoses that are cracked or damaged. • If you don’t have spider guards (small screens that discourage bugs), clean the metal tube under each burner with a small flexible brush and look for insects that may have crawled into these tubes and blocked the gas flow over the winter. • Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris. • Make sure your quick-disconnect valve is securely connected. Remember to never use your barbecue indoors. Always consult your owner’s manual for specific instructions and schedules for cleaning and maintenance. If you think your natural gas barbecue is leaking, call your local gas utility. More tips are available online at enbridgegas.com/safety. newscanada.com

Try no-cost and Keep your low-cost cooling HOME SAFE tips in your home (NC) Your bags are packed, the car is loaded and your tickets are in hand. You’re finally ready for that relaxing summer getaway you’ve been anticipating all year – or so you think.
(NC) A lot of money is spent on the energy needs of our lifestyles, but did you know that Ontarians spend the majority of their energy dollars controlling the temperature of their home? In the summer, this means keeping it cool, so before cranking up the air conditioning, try a few alternatives first. Even if you’re using air conditioning, you’ll use less and that will lower your electricity use. Here are some helpful guidelines from Hydro One:
Draw the curtains on heat - In the morning, open
windows to let cool air in. Then close them, and draw your blinds or drapes during the day. Your home will retain much of the cool morning air.
Let fans move the air - Ceiling fans help cool down your
home. They don’t use much electricity and can help reduce the need for air conditioning. Make sure ceiling fans blow air downwards in summer.
Cool down your menus too - One of the easiest things
you can do to conserve energy and keep your house cool is to avoid using appliances that heat up the home. In the summer, use the barbecue and include more cold foods and salads in your menu. Try not to use major appliances in the middle of the day.
The real problem may be humidity - Humid homes feel hotter. Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas to expel the air directly outside (not into walls or attics). Avoid air-drying clothes in the home and don’t store firewood inside. Check around the house - Examine the caulking and
weather stripping around your windows and doors. People tend to think this is a winter preparation, but it is just as useful in the summer to ensure that you keep the cool air in. If you have a window air conditioning unit, clean or replace the filter monthly. Dirty filters may restrict air flow and reduce efficiency.
Turn it off - Lights, appliances and home electronics use a lot of
power and give off heat. During the summer, it’s more important than ever to turn them off when you aren’t using them. You’ll save energy twice. Additional tips are available at www.HydroOne.com/SaveEnergy. newscanada.com
8 Floor Plan West Edition - Thursday, June 16, 2016
In the last minute hustle and bustle of planning for vacation, many Canadians leave their homes without planning for their proper protection. Empty houses are attractive targets for breakins, which is a real threat for homeowners.
“Planning ahead is essential to ensure that you don’t return home to unfortunate surprises,” says Glenn Cooper from Aviva Canada. “The key is to take a few simple steps to make it look like you haven’t left at all.” Cooper suggests these five tips the next time you travel:
1. Keep it to yourself: Posting holiday
plans and live updates on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram could alert potential thieves of your empty house. Keep the details of your vacation plans off social media and save the sharing for when you return home.
2. Get a house-sitter: Arrange
for a house-sitter while you are gone, or ask a neighbour that you trust to check-in daily. Give this person the key to your house, but don’t hide it around your home where it could be found by a potential burglar, especially not under the flower pot or door mat!
“Planning ahead is essential to ensure that you don’t return home to unfortunate surprises,” says Glenn Cooper from Aviva Canada. “The key is to take a few simple steps to make it look like you haven’t left at all.”
3. Set timers: Program the lights in different rooms of your home to switch on intermittently.
4. Make arrangements for newspaper and mail: Piled up mail or newspapers on your doorstep are an obvious sign that you are out of town. You can cancel, temporarily divert deliveries, or ask your neighbours to pick them up for you.
5. Maintain your yard: An overgrown yard
could be a telling sign that your home is empty. Arrange to have your lawn mowed and your grass watered while you’re away. With these tips in mind, you can concentrate on enjoying your summer escape and coming back to your home revitalized. More information is available from your insurance broker. newscanada.com

Use the RIGHT PAINTBRUSH for the job Lifestyle - Is it for edges or large areas? Do you need natural bristles or synthetic? Big or small? When it comes to paintbrushes, there is certainly no lack of choice. The following is a short guide to help you choose the model that suits your needs, so that you don’t paint yourself into a corner. First of all, invest in good quality brushes; they will last a long time if you follow the manufacturer’s care recommendations. Be sure to choose a brush with the appropriate bristles for the type of product to be used. • For water-based paints (latex, acrylic), use polyester or nylon/polyester bristles • For oil-based products (alkyds), use natural bristles (often boar bristles) or nylon/polyester bristles
The shape of the brush also has to be specific to the job. Rounded brushes are ideal for three-dimensional surfaces (such as mouldings) and edges. Flat brushes are perfect for work that doesn’t require precision. Angular brushes are great for edges and drawing a narrow line. Flat, wide brushes should be used for applying varnish, while very wide models are useful for covering big surfaces, such as a patio.
Tricks of the trade Before painting, rub your brushes on a rough surface in order to get rid of any loose bristles. Once the job is finished, clean them in the recommended manner and leave them to dry upside down by hanging them on a piece of string (if there isn’t already a hole in the handle, one can easily be drilled). When dry, always store your brushes with the bristles pointing up so that they keep their shape.
WALLPAPER here, there, and everywhere Lifestyle - If you’re one of those people who thinks that wallpaper is a thing of the past, maybe you should think again. With a bit of imagina on and good taste, it can confer a surprisingly whimsical touch to your home. Whether it’s to revamp an old piece of furniture, dress up a folding privacy screen, or enhance a decora ve object, wallpaper can be used in a number of unexpected ways. Use wallpaper to: • create a trompe-l’oeil headboard for a bed • dress up an old sideboard • decorate the mantelpiece • personalize a lampshade • brighten up stair risers • cover a chest of drawers, side table, or bookshelves • enhance a bathroom cupboard • embellish the inside of wardrobes or drawers • decorate a doll house • give a touch of glamour to document storage containers • create a decora ve wallpaper border or a sliding panel effect Of course, you could also use wallpaper for its original purpose, which is to add colour and visual interest to the walls of a room. You can paper an en re room, one wall, or even a ceiling that you’d like to accentuate. Submi ed For your decora on project Use your creativity to turn wallpaper into your favourite to be a success, be sure to decorating material. choose good quality wallpaper. These days it is available in an impressive range of pa erns, colours, and textures and is easy to use as well. Now all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your works of art. 10 Floor Plan West Edition - Thursday, June 16, 2016
Create a safe haven with a fence Whether it’s for safety, privacy or simply for the look, fencing your yard can add instant curb appeal to your home. A fence keeps children and pets inside the enclosure while safeguarding the house and yard. It also adds an interesting visual element to your property.
Before building Do plenty of research. Contact local authorities to find out about current regulations and to ensure that there are no telephone cables or gas lines where you want to dig. You should also check your certificate of location to be absolutely sure of where your property boundary is located.
Choose the material If your fence is meant to be functional and the look doesn’t really matter to you, a chain-link fence remains the cheapest
option on the market. Aluminum and ornamental iron fences won’t rust, are virtually maintenance free and come in a wide variety of styles. PVC fences are very popular and give plenty of low-cost privacy, but their plastic look could put off those more concerned with esthetics. While any of the above options are viable choices, wood still remains the best fencing material. It requires regular maintenance, but the effort is well worthwhile. Its timeless appearance and the endless ways it can be customized appeal to just about everyone. Once you’ve decided which sort of fence you want, you can either build it yourself or entrust the job to a professional fence installer. Afterwards, why not embellish your new fence with greenery or some flowers? Let your imagination run wild, as well as your green thumb!
How to get a DESIGNER INSPIRED HOME without the designer cost (NC) When you walk through a professionally decorated home there is a certain
sense of harmony that flows throughout the space. This is because designers consider
each room in terms of its relation to another and choose colours, furniture and acces-
sories that feel cohesive. This is especially important given the popularity of open concept homes. Now, not everyone hires a decorator or has a knack for design which makes choosing complementary paint colours tricky, so most homeowners end up picking one colour for the entire home. Want to bring your space to life with colour? Try the following steps:
Determine what your style is What is your inspiration? Do you tend towards clean lines with a mix of retro or vintage treasures? Do you favour a traditional feel over a modern look? Do you envision coming home to a luxurious cozy space or clean minimalist setting? These factors will influence which palette you choose. Finding visual representation of what speaks to you is the best place to start narrowing in on your style.
Decide on the theme Depending on whether you choose warm, neutral or cool colours, you can create a space that helps to set a particular mood. Warm tones create a space that is inviting and gives off a positive energy. Neutrals create a space that is cozy yet balanced as they complement various looks and stay relevant over time. Cool colours create a space that is relaxing and provide styling options for either an urban or coastal feel. Great design should reflect the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality and should be more fun than difficult. newscanada.com

‘Father’s Day Flashback’ at Goulbourn Museum John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Author Larry Cotton, known for his “Whisky & Wickedness” series, will be at this Sunday’s “Father’s Day Flashback” at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. He will be in attendance at the Sunday, June 19 event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where he will be signing copies of his latest book in the series. And this latest book is of particular interest to those in the Richmond and Goulbourn areas as it details the Rideau Military Settlements from 1816 to 1875 which includes the Richmond settlement of 1818. This latest book also touches on the Rideau River/Rideau Canal settlements of 1826-1875 as well as the square timber era involving Bytown, the Mississippi River and the Madawaska River (1825-1885). Copies of this latest book will be available for sale at the Father’s Day Flashback event and they are currently available in the Goul-
bourn Museum’s gift shop. Cotton published his first “Whisky & Wickedness” book in 2004 and since then has self-published more than 15 books in what has become a series. The books focus on factual and anecdotal short stories that tell the social history of an area with particular reference to how alcohol played a role in the formation of the society of an area. The Goulbourn Museum is hosting its fifth annual “Father’s Day Flashback” event this Sunday, June 19 which is Father’s Day, with the event running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is a great event for young families to attend as well as folks of all ages. Admission to “Father’s Day Flashback” is free but you will want to take along some cash for lunch and treats and, if you are lucky, pay for some silent auction prizes. This year this Father’s Day Flashback will include a live animal display by Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary, a barbecue, an ice cream vendor, vintage games including
wooden stilts, children’s crafts and games, an old fashioned photo booth, a caricature artist, demonstrations and a re-enactment by re-enactors from the WW1 Canadian Army Medical Corps (re-created) of a nursing sister and a medic at a World War One forward aid post and casualty clearing station. Youngsters will be able to play in the revamped Village Store which now features cosdtumes and food from the World War Two era. The Village Store also now features the historical postal wicket from the Ashton General Store which has just recently been donated to the Museum. The Museum’s newest exhibition, “Healing Hands: Medicine During the World Wars,” will be on display, highlighting the role played by the Red Cross, Nursing Sisters and Veterinarians in the First World War. Local collectors will be bringing old music back to life on their phonograph exhibit which will include both disc and cylinder records.
The silent auction always features a variety of items that appeal to lots of interests. Indeed, you just might see a great Father’s Day gift there! There will be some amazing items up for grabs including tickets to an Ottawa Senators home game. Funds raised by the silent auction will be used by the Goulbourn Museum to help publicize the story of Goulbourn and Richmond as Ottawa’s oldest military settlement. This “Father’s Day Flashback” event is sponsored by Minto Potter’s Key development in Stittsville. The Goulbourn Museum, which is a registered charity, has one of the largest artefact collections among museums in the city of Ottawa. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville. Stittsville Main Street becomes Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners. The Goulbourn Museum can be contacted at 613-831-2393 or via email at info@goulbournmuseum.ca .

Fighting was a bit of a sport for the boys of the family
MARY COOK Memories “I’m not interested!” Mother almost yelled in Earl’s direction, as he framed the kitchen door crying his eyes out. His nose was spouting blood like a fountain, and covered his shirt, and I could see he had also scraped his knees. He yelled louder, this time adding that Emerson had almost killed him. Again, Mother said, “I’m not interested. And go out and sit on the back stoop. You’re getting blood all over the floor that Audrey just scrubbed.” That’s how Mother dealt with fighting among the boys. Come to her for sympathy or to have her intervene, and they were sent packing. I was more interested in the fights than was Mother. The three brothers were all different sizes, and it had nothing to do with their ages. Emerson, the middle brother, was a whopper. At 12 years of age, stood just under 6-feet tall. Everett was somewhere in the middle, even though he was the oldest of the three. Earl was the youngest, but growing fast, and it looked like he would soon be taller than Everett. So they were a mixed lot.
Connected to your community
But when it came to fighting, Emerson usually came out on top. I found out that a fight could start over the simplest disagreement. It often had to do with barn chores. Whose turn it was to milk Ethel, the cow who wouldn’t stand still, and who you could count on kicking over the milk pail at least once every milking. Or whose turn it was to shovel the manure out the back door of the barn. A simple argument would spill over into a dragged out fight at the drop of a hat. The boys also fought over slingshots. Slingshots were everywhere. They sat on the rail at the back door, and hung from the post at the gate. Always at the ready. There was always a squirrel or mouse to get rid of, or empty tin cans to knock off the back fence. Who owned what sling shot was the cause of many a scrap. Finally, Everett started scratching his initials on the ones he had made. But that didn’t work, because the three brothers had the same initials … and so the fight was on when it came to ownership. The boys never went to Father to settle a fight. His response was completely different
from Mother’s. While Mother sent the injured packing, Father would simply find jobs for the three boys to do, and they were never jobs they particularly enjoyed. Raking up the smoke house ashes was a hateful job, and the three brothers knew perfectly well if Father was asked to settle a fight, he almost always sent the complainer to the smoke house. It would take days to get the smell of smoldering hickory off the offender’s body. Even several dips in the Bonnechere failed to do the job. So going to Father to settle a fight was a last resort. Although I often argued with Emerson, he knew better than to make body contact. Back then boys simply did not hit girls. My sister Audrey and I never fought. I was too in awe of my much older sister, who I thought was just about the smartest girl in all of Renfrew County. But I was always amazed at Mother, who could be most sympathetic to our woes and concerns, but could simply turn her back on my brothers fighting. Audrey said it was because she never liked to take sides. Audrey said she could be defending the very person who started the fight in the first place. And Audrey said, that in itself, could start another donny-brook. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Strawberry breakfast parfaits Foodland Ontario
Special to the News
This is an easy summer entertaining brunch idea. The parfaits can be made ahead to allow for relaxed and easy entertaining. Wheat berries are a true whole grain. They are loaded with nutrients; add a slight crunch and subtle nutty flavour to the parfait. Layers of luscious, creamy whipped ricotta, chewy wheat berries, slices of Ontario strawberries and maple syrup for sweetness, will have everyone endlessly dipping their spoons and clanking the bottom for more. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Standing Time: 12 hours Cooking Time: 90 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients * 1 cup (250 mL) wheat berries * 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed golden brown sugar * 2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half * 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt * 1 tub (475 g) traditional Ontario Ricotta Cheese * 3/4 cup (175 mL) Ontario Maple Syrup * 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise * 4 cups (1 L) thinly sliced Ontario Strawberries * 1/2 cup (125 mL)slivered almonds, toasted
Preparation instructions Rinse wheat berries in colander; drain. Set aside. In medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, four cups (1 L) water, cinnamon sticks and salt. Add wheat berries to saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until wheat berries are tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Drain any liquid and discard cinnamon sticks. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to three days; tuck in cinnamon sticks to extend flavour.) Meanwhile, in food processor purée ricotta until completely smooth. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) maple syrup. Scrape vanilla seeds from pod, add into cheese. Process until smooth. (Makeahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to three days.) In eight dessert or wine glasses, put two tbsp (25 mL) wheat berries, heaping 1/4 cup (50 mL) strawberries and heaping two tbsp (25 mL) whipped ricotta mixture. Repeat layering; sprinkle with almonds. Drizzle with remaining maple syrup.

CAT OF THE WEEK MY TURN NOW SAYS “KERRI”
Love from all your family! Jack’s wife Janet, his daughters Jessica holding grandson Harry, Alexis, Rachel and Jack. 74 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 16, 2016
This young lady about 2 years young when she was rescued was already in a “family way”. Gave birth to 5 lovely babies which all found their very own families. Now she can look for her own home. Kerri is slightly on the shy side but loves to be brushed and talked softly. A gentle and patient person who would not be disappointed if she does not immediately jump on their her lap and let her adjust would be rewarded with a very loving kitty heart... She would prefer a calm home with no children. She can be an only cat but she can also share your love with another feline if you have one already. If you are looking to make a change in a felines life for the better and have time to spend with her at her pace and be happy you are the one she is waiting for.
For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

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