601 houses for Inside Fernbank lands NEWS John Curry

EMC news - Here comes more development in the Fernbank lands. Mattamy Homes is seeking approval for a proposed subdivision of 601 housing units on an 89 acre parcel of land running from the rear of the Kevin Haime golf driving range on Hazeldean Road in the north to the Trans Canada Trail in the south. The proposed subdivision will have not only 393 single detached homes and 208 townhome units but will also include a neighbourhood park, two storm water management ponds in its northeast area, and part of a school site abutting future development lands to the west. A small portion of the Fernbank lands’ proposed 30 acre district park will also come from the southwest corner of this property, separated from the subdivision proper by the hydro corridor which runs through the Fernbank lands north of the Trans Canada Trail. The eastward extension of Abbott Street will run through the property in an east/west direction, intersecting with a proposed collector road which will run in a northerly direction before swinging to the west to run past the future school site that will be largely on adjacent lands that are to be developed by Richcraft. Implementation of this proposed plan of subdivision will require a rezoning from the lands’ current agricultural zoning to a residential zoning that will permit the proposed housing uses. However, the Fernbank Community Development Plan calls for residential development on this site and so the rezoning should not be contentious. The new zoning, in fact, will be much like that in Mattamy’s Fairwinds development around Huntmar Drive and Maple Grove Road, so it is expected that the zoning will not meet any roadblocks from the city’s planning staff. Initial access to this new subdivision will be off Terry Fox Drive at the Castlefrank Road traffic signal. See SUBDIVISION, page 29

Bren Hunter off to world stage Special to the News

EMC sports - Stittsville’s Bren Hunter will be representing Canada on the world stage later this year. That’s because he captured five medals at the All-Styles Open Karate & Kickboxing Canadian National Championships at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard, Quebec on Saturday, June 15. Competing in his second year in the boys age 13-17 division, Bren earned five trips to the medal podium. He captured a silver medal in boys 70 kg pointfighting while also collecting bronze medals in boys

Weapons (creative/no music); boys Musical Weapons; boys Traditional Weapons; and boys Japanese Okinawan Traditional Forms. Besides these medal winning performances, Bren also competed in two other categories, finishing fourth, just out of the medals, in both of them. Thanks to these medal winning performances at the Canadian National Championships, Bren is now eligible to represent Canada in world championship competition later this year. Several of his Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy (CSMA)

teammates have also earned this honour. CSMA is located on Iber Road in Stittsville. With organizational changes made among the World Karate organizations over the past year, being a medal winner in the Canadian National Championships was important to Bren as he now has a choice of which division of this year’s World Championships he will attend. He can go to the new GCO/WKU Worlds on the island of Crete in Greece to which Canada may send its top three competitors or he can attend the amalgamated WTKA/WKA Worlds

Church bell rings again at dedication ceremony John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It used to be rung every Sunday morning, sitting in the bell tower at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond. But church renovations and an addition in 1965 saw it removed and the bell ringing stopped. But last Sunday just after 11:30 a.m., the bell rang out again from its new position mounted in a newly constructed memorial gazebo on the south side of the McBean Street church. And no one was happier to hear it ring, we are sure, than 90 year old Donald Foster, a longtime parishioner at the church, who had the honour to pull the rope to ring the bell following its blessing by minister Rev. Carla Van Delen. He pulled the rope and rang the bell three times, each time with a broadening smile on his face. This bell ringing was the culmination of a brief dedication and blessing ceremony for this new gazebo and mounted bell, with the ceremony taking place following the church’s regular 10:30 a.m. Sunday service which on this particular day saw a completely full church. At the ceremony, which was held under overcast skies but with no rain, the names of the more than 80 people in memory of whom this new gazebo and bell has been dedicated were read out. This was followed by the blessing of the gazebo/bell by Rev. Van Delen, us-

ing a sprig of cedar to sprinkle the holy water around the new memorial. Those parishioners of St. Paul’s United Church whose names are listed on the memorial plaque of this gazebo/bell are Ethel Abbott, Norm and Joan Adams, Fred Bailey, Donald Bennett, David Biesenthal, Jay Bilodeau, Joe and Myrtle Bourque, Robert Bourque, Allan Brown, Daniel Bujold, Victor Cameron, Wayne Cochrane, Barbara Cooke, William Craig, Doug and Marilyn Davis, Millie Dean, David Dupuis, Mervin Eastman, Glennis Ferguson, Lillian Finn, Donna Flood, Kay Foster, Scott Foster, William Good, Fern Green, Pearl Green, Ken Greene, Elizabeth Harvey, Eric Haycock, Linda Henderson, Joy Hogervorst, Dawna Hughes, Melville Hyland, Roy Hyland, Eileen Jackson, Terry Kirkham, Edward Leclaire, Sherri Leeder, Bert Love, Alvina Lusk, Alton Mains, Harold McBryde, Allan McCagg, Elgin McCurdy, Beatrice McRae, Donald Moodie, Karin Morrison, Alastair Munro, Ian Munro, Joan Norman, Aggie O’Brien, Annie Beryl Osmond, Jean Pearen, John and Evelyn Pickett, Dorothy Pooley, Everett Rea, Edna Reid, Richmond Seniors, David Rogers, Dorothy Roush, Phyllis Scott, Eleanor Skinner, George Skinner, Keith Smith, Lois Snider, Betty Steinburg, Robert Thicke, Lynn Thompson, Madeline Thompson, Robert Thompson, Morris Todd, Reg Todd, Donald Turnbull, Gertrude

and Gary Vaughn, Marion Wainman, Pierette Webster and Cliff and Kaye Wilson. At the ceremony, the efforts of Darryl Kinkade of D.E. Kinkade Konstruction in constructing the gazebo and those of Andy Blanchard of Blanchard Landscaping in installing the interlocking brick of the walkway leading to the gazebo and around the gazebo were noted. Most of the final landscaping was under the charge of Southpaw Property Maintenance while the flower beds along the south side of the church running beside the gazebo were planted from some of the ladies of the church with the plants largely donated by friends and neighbours and maintained by church members. Scott Cummings of Creekside Gardens donated four containers of geraniums which adorn the corners of the gazebo. This memorial project involving the new gazebo and re-mounting of the historic church bell

was initiated by the church’s Memorial Committee, with the funds coming from memorial and funeral reception donations. A plaque on the front of the bell’s platform listed the names of all those of whom the project is in memory. The bell itself goes back to 1901 when it was donated by a Mr. Higginson of Munster who had purchased it for $50. The bell was placed in the bell tower at the front of the newly built church which was then the Richmond Methodist Church from which it rang every Sunday morning until 1965. That’s when St. Paul’s was renovated and added to, so that the bell was removed and reinstalled on the roof of a new rear addition. In 2006, structural concerns meant that the bell was removed from the roof and placed in the backyard of the church until last fall when it was restored with sandblasting and paint thanks to Brian Ayotte at the Car-O-Practor Body Shop in Richmond. It is estimated that the bell weighs around 1500 pounds.

Richmond Development Update Last February, the City of Ottawa facilitated a public meeting for Caivan Developments regarding the northern portion of the Western Development Lands, which straddles Perth Street. At that time, Mattamy Homes, the owner of the southern portion, had not yet ďŹ led an application pertaining to that property. Since that time, Mattamy has submitted a development application consisting of 1100 homes (848 single family homes, 172 townhouses, and 80 back to back units). This proposed development would also include a school lot as well as two parks, one being over three hectares. Recently, Mattamy asked the City’s Planning staff to facilitate a meeting in the coming weeks. In consultation with my ofďŹ ce, I suggested that a summer meeting was not appropriate for this type of application and recommended a September meeting instead. Once I received a speciďŹ c date, I will conďŹ rm but this public meeting is expected to now be scheduled in September, rather than July. We provided two months notice for the Caivan meeting and I feel Richmond deserved the same two month notice for the Mattamy application.

Gaia Java becomes 1960’s coffee shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The pages of history were turned back to the coffee shop culture of the 1960’s at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville at its music evening last Friday thanks to the musical offerings of guest singer/guitarist Terry McGovern. Terry reached back to these days of coffee shop counter-culture and protest as he sang songs associated with that era’s folk song movement such as those associated with Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, the Peter, Paul and Mary trio, and Mississippi John Hurt. And he didn’t stop there – he also touched on singers like Jerry Jeff Walker, Arlo Guthrie, Simon & Garfunkel and more. It was like a musical trip back in time to the 1960’s. When he launched into Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’�, a song that is considered one of the anthems of the civil rights and anti-war movements in the United States, you knew that while it would be an evening of musical flashback, it would also be a night of musical nostalgia and enjoyment. And that’s just what it was. And no such night would be complete without a rousing rendition of “This Land is Your Land,� (Canadian version) which is a Woody Guthrie tune which the Canadian folk music group The Travellers recorded with Canadian references in 1955. From “The Land is Your Land,� it was onward and upward, with Terry singing an old English ballad like those that he said were the basis of much of the music of the American folk singing trio Peter, Paul and Mary. And he followed this up with a musical bow to Mississippi John Hurt, an American country blues singer who

Singer/guitarist Terry McGovern performs at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop’s Friday music evening last Friday, June 21. first recorded in 1928 and then worked for years as a farmer before being rediscovered in the 1960’s and becoming a part of the American folk music revival at that time. Terry McGovern then explained and demonstrated how the slide guitar technique was discovered in the 1960’s, along with its associated chords, and how the 1960’s English rock band the Rolling Stones became a great advocate of such music in some of their songs. Terry went on to perform “Freight Train,� a song associated with Mike Seeger, Pete Seeger’s half-brother and recorded by such 60’s icons as Peter, Paul and Mary and Joan Baez. He transformed from this into a song that he said that virtually every guitar player of his generation probably learned as their first song on the guitar and that is “The House of the Rising Sun,� telling about life gone wrong in New Orleans.

Animals had their version of this song reach number one on the hit parade. But although associated with The Animals, the song has its roots as a traditional folk song, first recorded back in 1934. And Terry’s offerings became even more memorable when he switched to the song “Mr. Bojangles,� recorded in 1968 by American country music singer Jerry Jeff Walker who also wrote the piece. It was then back to another train song, this time Arlo Guthrie’s “The City of New Orleans,� with its lyrics including “I’m the train they call the city of New Orleans.� This song has been recorded by others like John Denver and Willie Nelson. Terry then switched to a song that he said that he learned in grade 13, “The Sounds of Silence,� originally sung by the duo of Simon & Garfunkel in 1964 and written in the aftermath of the President John Kennedy assassination in late 1963. He called it a beautiful but sad

song. And trains continued to chug through Terry’s musical presentation. He sang “Paradise,� also known by the title “Mr. Peabody’s Coal Train.� This song, with lyrics like “Mr. Peabody’s coal trail has hauled it away,� was recorded by the Everly Brothers, among others. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville are held every Friday at 7 p.m., with free admission. The only advice is to arrive early for the best seating. This coming Friday, June 28, though, a guitar and vocal trio that had been scheduled has had to cancel, but a replacement has been found in the person of Mike Lewis who does pop and classic rock with vocals and guitar. It should be quite an evening. July, by the way, has a whole lineup of performers arranged for these Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java coffee shop. It was back in the 1660’s that the first coffee houses in London emerged as a combination of business and social meeting place, providing a non-alcohol meeting place for friends as well as a location for trading and deal making that eventually led to the stock market and insurance businesses. In the 1760’s, activists of the time started meeting in the coffee houses of Paris with their unrest eventually leading to the French Revolution. Leading up to the 1860’s, it was discussions in coffee shops in both the northern and southern United States that eventually led to the Civil War conflict. In the 1960’s, Greenwich Village coffee shops would feature performers such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, all encouraging the civil rights and other protest movements.

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

June 24th 2013 STITTSVILLE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH FORUM On Thursday June 20th, my office along with Ottawa Public Health (OPH), the Western Ottawa Community Resource Center (WOCRC) and the Royal Ottawa Health Group (ROH) held Stittsville’s first Community Mental Health Forum. The purpose of mental health forum was to provide residents with the opportunity to hear about Mental Health issues and how to find the necessary tools and resources to deal with mental illness. Steve Walsh, a lecturer from Algonquin College, parent and registered nurse for over 12 years at The Royal (Ottawa Hospital) spoke with a group of over 30 attendees. He provided tips on how adults and teens can deal with mental health and the signs and symptoms to be aware of if there is a concern for mental health issues. Kathleen Gorman, a spokesperson for the Royal Ottawa and mentors others on how they can deal with their mental health issues, shared her personal experience with mental health and how she overcame her depression. Other service providers who shared their support and resources at the event were; the Youth Services Bureau, Geriatric Psychiatry Community Services from the Élisabeth Bruyère, Family Services Ottawa, and the Distress Center of Ottawa. On behalf of my office the community of Stittsville I wish to thank everyone who came out to participate in the Community Mental Health Forum. Mental Health is about people. It’s about listening, supporting and caring. Below is a list of services that are available to the public should you or someone you know would like to learn more about mental health.

Come on out and join in on the fun with the Stittsville Village Association’s Canada Day celebrations on Monday July 1st at the Sacred Heart Catholic High School grounds. There will be a variety of entertainment and activities for the whole family to enjoy. This year there are two performance stage areas to take in, along with Little Ray’s reptiles, Zip-E the Clown, the Countryside Petting Zoo and much more. Celebrations Kick-off at 3:00 p.m. and go on into the night with a fireworks display to cap the day off with a bang! The event is free with the only cost being the BBQ and Pony rides. Those planning on attending the Canada Day celebrations are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to comfortably watch the evening’s fireworks display. For more information on the event please visit http://www.stittsvilleva.com/ Hope to see you there! TOW TRUCK MOTION Over the last couple of years, members of the public have brought forward to me their concern about the practices of tow truck companies, including the rates charged for conveyance and for other services they provide and their impact on resident and on auto insurance rates in the longer term. As a result of those concerns, I had put forward a motion to committee to request that staff review the feasibility and impacts of licensing tow truck companies, including the regulation of rates. Staff has reported back to Committee on its preliminary work in this regard but, has also identified that the Government of Ontario had struck a Provincial Task Force to identify ways in which to protect Ontario drivers against fraud while helping to stabilize automobile insurance rates across the province. A review of the towing industry was included in the Task Force’s undertakings and, as a result, among the recommendations is one proposing the establishment of a province-wide licensing scheme of the industry. In the Ontario Budget 2013, it is indicated that: “The government will also conduct further study and consultation on other initiatives to reduce costs, including provincial oversight of towing and amending the definition of catastrophic impairment in the Statutory Accident Benefits Scheduleâ€?. On June 11th, 2013, Bill 65, the Prosperous and Fair Ontario Act (Budget Measures) 2013 was passed in the legislature. As the provincial budget was only just recently approved, the particulars about the nature and timing of the implementation of the Task Force’s recommendations, including those related to the towing industry are not yet known. As vice-chair, along with Chair Mark Taylor, of the Community and Protective Services Committee I put forward a second motion on June 20th that requests that: 1. the Government of Ontario expedite its further work with respect to the towing industry, in particular the licensing of the industry with a view to implementing solutions for reducing costs, preventing fraud, increasing road safety and enhancing consumer protection; and, 2. City staff work in cooperation with provincial staff and the auto insurance industry to help move this endeavour forward, with a view to implementation as soon as possible; and, 3. City staff track and keep Council apprised of any developments and/or barriers in this regard. This motion was passed. NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH As a result of recent communication with some of our neighbours and with the Ottawa Police Service, it is clear that there has been suspicious activity involving area youth engaging in suspected drug use and sales in the area. It has also come to my attention that a couple of people have found drug paraphernalia on the sidewalks in our community. This type of activity can lead to an increase in vehicular traffic, theft, break-ins and other disruptive and criminal behaviour; let’s do what we can to prevent crime in our area. 1. Secure your valuables: Lock doors, remove all valuables from your vehicles, store tools and bikes in secure sheds/garages. 2. Report criminal and suspicious (suspected criminal) activity: If you see kids/people smoking drugs in public, it is considered a crime in progress and should be reported right away. While the Police may not be able to respond immediately, each call is documented and resources are allocated to areas which demonstrate need, so please, call in all suspicious and illegal activity. Some laws that you should be aware of: City bylaws prohibit people from being in city parks from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and the Criminal Code states that youth under 16 years of age can only be out after midnight with a “responsible adultâ€?. If you see illegal or suspicious activity, please report it to the Ottawa Police by call 613-236-1222 extension 7300 HUNTMAR DRIVE ROAD CLOSURE On July 29th starting at 5:00 p.m. Huntmar Drive will be closing in both directions from the north intersection with Palladium Drive southerly to Cyclone Taylor Boulevard for reasons of the structural rehabilitation of Huntmar Drive underpass at Hwy 417 as part of MTO contract 2011-4036.

EDITORIAL

Well, what now Queen’s Park?

S

o, the province has declared it won’t support an interprovincial bridge crossing at Kettle Island. OK. This newspaper has supported the construction of at bridge at that location in the past, but barring a change in the political winds, the route favoured by the National Capital Commission appears to be dead in the water. But what does the city do now? That the capital region needs another Ottawa River crossing does not need any further justification: the last bridge, Portage, was built by the NCC in 1973 when the area population stood at about half of what it is now. As cities grow, the need for infrastructure grows along with it. So what do we do now? The province has said it will work with the city to develop a new transportation master plan to accommodate future growth, but the need for a new interprovincial crossing can’t be ignored by such an exercise – Ottawa and Gatineau don’t exist independently of one another. Some have suggested constructing a tunnel beneath the river to divert truck traffic away from Lowertown – King Edward Avenue is currently the most-used route into the city for trucks moving to and from Gatineau – but such a plan would cost

significantly more than a bridge. Perhaps one of the other routes studied by the NCC, at Lower Duck Island or McLaurin Bay, would be better. Except they have both been identified as being more expensive, according to the NCC’s studies, and would require significant additional infrastructure to connect with the rest of the road network. Whatever the answer, action needs to be taken. An east-end interprovincial crossing has been discussed for decades and the issues are not going away any time soon. The efficient transport of goods to and from the city is vital to economic growth, which effects employment, wealth and consumer prices in the capital region. Now that the province has taken its stand, what will it do to address the problem? It was not particularly helpful to denounce a plan without offering an alternative. Perhaps the government wants to take some time to study the issue, but haven’t we been doing just that for more than 20 years? It would have been more responsible of Transportation Minister Glenn Murray to resist making his announcement until the province had something tangible to offer the residents of Ottawa in the way of an alternative. No action simply is not a responsible choice when it comes to Ottawa’s future.

You can’t get there from here in a big city

T

he other day someone was talking in the paper about light rail and the lamentable absence of a north-south route. As luck would have, this discussion coincided with a couple of drives to the airport and back, in the period between 4 and 6 p.m. Don’t ever do this. As far as I can figure out, having tried all the available routes to and from the middle west of Ottawa, you can’t get there from here. And you can’t get back. And sure, you can suggest picking some other time of day, but you might have a hard time convincing the airlines to change their schedules. The big problem is that everybody wants to go south and more and more of them are choosing the Airport Parkway (by the way, how come it hasn’t been named after Sir John A. Macdonald yet?). Most of them don’t use the parkway to get to the airport. They us it get to other places and the parkway, nicely narrowing from four lanes to two just when the four are most needed, can’t handle the traffic. Nor can Bronson Avenue, as the people who live in the Glebe have long known. And even getting to the parkway is no pic-

At certain points the east-bound and west-bound travellers can stare across the median at each other as they sit mired in traffic. That leaves the Merivale-Hunt Club-Uplands Drive option, which worked pretty well about 15 years ago. Merivale is, well, Merivale. And Hunt Club has a huge jam-up, just about any time of day, at its Riverside and Prince of Wales intersections. Still, it takes about the same amount of time as the Baseline-Merivale-Airport Parkway option – which is to say, twice the amount of time it takes in off hours.

nicely, but Hunt Club has the same problems going east. Baseline-Heron has the same congestion going west. Face it, everybody wants to go everywhere. At a certain time of day, every direction in Ottawa seems to contain a favourite destination. You can sit still in your car no matter which direction you are facing. One driver, lulled by a smooth ride north on the parkway, decided to stay on it, head north on Bronson to Carling. That worked well until three blocks from the Carling intersection, when everything decided to stop moving for 15 minutes. An option would have been to keep going and turn onto the Queensway, but why would anyone do that? It is easy enough for an occasional visitor to the airport to complain, but there are people who have to do this, or a variation of it, every day, usually at a time when everybody else is trying to do it as well. And you only have to drive south a bit and look at all the new construction to realize that the situation is going to be way worse in the near future. It would be nice to think that the new Strandherd Bridge, if it is ever finished, will make things better, but it is hard to see how it can help much. Building some light rail out there would

really help, but that is probably decades in the future, not to mention many millions of dollars. More houses are going up and more people are traveling on the same roads. Maybe some of them will start working from home. Maybe some employers may decide to locate where the people are. You can only hope. Meanwhile there will be considerable agitation to build more lanes on this road and that, which never seems to solve anything. We wanted to become a big city. Well, guess what.

Colin Lawson of Barrhaven, who is an antique car enthusiast with Canada’s Capital A’s Club and owns a 1929 Model A Ford himself, takes a photo of the 1913 Cadillac which was one of the “horseless carriages” lined up in the parking lot of the Fallowfield United Church last Friday as members of the Horseless Carriage Club of America – Southern Ontario Chapter stopped for a turkey supper at the church.

Horseless carriages stop at Fallowfield Continued from page 1

It was only in 1913 when Henry Ford started his assembly line manufacturing that black became the only Ford colour. And that was because black was the fastest drying colour, allowing for quicker assembly. The early years, at least up until that watershed 1913 date, saw that these “horseless carriages” not only were of various colours but they were loaded with brass – brass lights, brass trim, brass virtually everywhere. This eventually ceased, with less and less brass appearing on cars from 1913 on, with JOHN CURRY/METROLAND more and more painted parts in eviWendy and Alan Johnston (“A & W”) of Orillia sit in their 1909 Model T Ford at the dence, making for easier and cheaper Fallowfield United Church last Friday. manufacturing. All of these early “horseless carriages” had wooden spoke wheels for their narrow tires. A couple of the “horseless carriages” which visited the Fallowfield United Church last Friday had wire spike wheels but they are not original equipment. A couple of the vehicles also featured righthand steering wheels, a feature which some early automobiles or “horseless carriages,” if you prefer, had. This perhaps was done so that the driver could more easily keep track of the adjacent ditch. These “horseless carriages” – 17 in all – included both roadster models, i.e. seating for two and also touring models i.e. seating for four. One interested party at this assembly of “horseless carriages” was Colin Lawson of Barrhaven who drove his own 1929 Model A Ford to get to the event. A member of Canada’s Capital A’s, a club founded in 1975 in Ottawa for owners of Model A Fords, he has the parts of a 1914 Ford but has not yet decided if and how to restore such a vehicle. But he was on site for the hour and a half that the “horseless carriages” were at the church, taking photographs of the various vehicles and getting a close-up look at them. And just what did Mr. Lawson and others who dropped in to view the “horseless carriages” see? Well, Herb Coons of Ottawa, who organized this Club tour of the Ottawa area stretching out over three days because he is JOHN CURRY/METROLAND a local resident, was driving his 1910 It’s all in a name as Peter McIntyre stands with his 1912 “horseless carriage” manufactured Model T Ford, red in colour.

by the McIntyre Company of Auburn, Indiana. He restored the vehicle over a 13 year period.

It was made in Walkerville, Ontario with a 22.5 horsepower engine that gives him about 20 miles to the gallon. It has been restored and is just the way that it would have come out of the manufacturing shop. He was familiar with Fallowfield United Church from previous stops there back in the 1990’s by an antique car club in Ottawa to which he belonged. He realized that it would make a perfect place for the tour to stop on the way back from Merrickville and arranged for the turkey dinner to be catered there by the ladies of the church. Speaking at the conclusion of the dinner, he told his fellow Horseless Carriage Club of America members that the dinner stop at the church made for a great end to the group’s day of touring in the area. That touring wasn’t going to stop over the weekend, as Saturday’s plans called for a tour of the city and Sunday’s plans were to see the group head for a visit to the Diefenbunker in Carp. Mr. Coons himself, who admits to having made friends all around the world thanks to his involvement with horseless carriages, admitted that it helps if an owner of a horseless carriage is able to tinker. “You end up tinkering,� he said about owning a horseless carriage as you make adjustments and repairs. He admitted that he and his wife Maureen are used to having their photos taken by people as they tour along a highway in their “horseless carriage,� although he says that nowadays it is more likely to be a cell phone used than a camera. Another of the “horseless carriages� at the church was the 1912 Buick, also red, owned by Steve Witt

of Smithville, Ontario. He says that it is fun belonging to the Club and meeting others like himself who like old vehicles. His wife Lynn Witt says that touring with the Horseless Carriage Club gives her an opportunity to see various points of interest in an area. Alan and Wendy Johnston of Orillia, who refer to themselves “A & W�, arrived in their 1909 Model T Ford which boasts a grey colour, although it appears white. It has a 22.5 horsepower engine and Alan says that the vehicle needs every bit of it to move along. He claims that the vehicle can go about 30 miles an hour if going downhill with a good tailwind. He restored the vehicle, starting with an original front seat. He built the body and the rear seat. “You’re always waving� is how Alan describes travelling along in a “horseless carriage� like his. Alfred Acres of Beamsville in the Niagara Peninsula was driving his right-hand drive 1913 Cadillac which has a long history with his family. His grandfather purchased the vehicle, which had been chauffer driven up until that point, in 1919 and converted it into a truck for use on his fruit farm. Trucks were hard to get just after World War One and so buying the Cadillac and converting it made the most sense. It was used as a truck on the farm until 1950. Mr. Acres, who still lives on the fruit farm of his grandfather, started to restore the Cadillac in 1986, a process which took the next 12 years. Besides this 1913 Cadillac, Mr. Acres also has a 1915 Model T Ford and a 1931 Model A Ford. For Peter McIntyre, owning the “horseless carriage� that he does has

That’s because it is a 1912 McIntyre – yes, McIntyre, the same as his name. It took him 13 years to restore the vehicle. The W.H. McIntyre Company manufactured automobiles from 1908 to 1915 in Auburn, Indiana. This place of manufacture could be seen clearly on a small plate on Mr. McIntyre’s vehicle, identifying it as No. 120. The McIntyre Company started life as the W.H. Kiblinger Company and began experimenting with automobiles in 1897. The one White manufactured vehicle on this Horseless Carriage Club of America excursion stopping at the Fallowfield United Church was made by the White Motor Company which manufactured automobiles as well as trucks from 1900 onwards, based in Cleveland, Ohio. The firm built

steam powered cars until 1911 and then concentrated on gasoline powered vehicles. White ended its car production after World War One to focus on the manufacture of trucks. It continued in business in 1980. And what about the Marmon that was among these “horseless carriages� at Fallowfield United Church. The Marmon Motor Car Company of Indianapolis, Indiana began producing automobiles under the Marmon brand in 1902. It discontinued its automobile production in 1933. Marmon was notable for having introduced the rear view mirror feature as well as for pioneering both the V16 engine and the use of aluminum in auto manufacturing. The Horseless Carriage Club of America, with which this Southern Ontario chapter is associated, defines a horseless carriage as any pioneer

gas, steam or electric motor vehicle built or manufactured before Jan. 1, 1916. The Club is focused on the dawning of the age of the automobile, basically from the turn of the century (1900) to the end of the use of carriage coach work, gas lights, hand cranking and the profuse use of brass. Early automobiles were called horseless carriages because they were capable of transporting people and goods faster and farther without the need of a horse pulling the vehicle as in the past. The goal of the Horseless Carriage Club of America is to preserve the originality of and to restore these automobiles to their original condition, to use them for their original purpose of driving and touring and to promote their preservation because of their historical value.

The recipients must have a connection with a military Veteran or Legion member. The Legion’s funds its bursaries from proceeds from its poppy fund initiative around Remembrance Day time. It is expected that the bursary recipients will be involved in the Legion’s annual poppy campaign. Teshia Llewellyn is the new bursary chair for the Stittsville branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Community mental health forum is held John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s a lot to know about mental health – the types, the treatments available, the symptoms and more. But there are also a lot of resources in the greater community to help a person or family deal with a mental health situation. These two messages came across at the Community Mental Health Forum which was held in Stittsville on Thursday evening, June 20, at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. On hand with a presence at this event were Ottawa Public Health, Family Services Ottawa, the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, the Geriatric Psychiatry

Community Services and the Royal Ottawa Hospital. But it was not their static displays that were the main focus of the evening. Rather it was the verbal presentations of two guest speakers – Steve Walsh, a longtime registered nurse at The Royal and an Algonquin College lecturer who told much about mental health types, symptoms and signs, and Kathleen Gorman, a mental health survivor who now helps other in dealing with mental health issues. Mr. Walsh acknowledged that there has been a stigma surrounding mental health which he acknowledged is slowly changing. He noted that mental illness, which he said affects one in every five people, can be defined as a disturbance of the mind that interferes with normal behaviour and makes it difficult

to cope with daily life. Mental illness impairs a person’s ability to cope with life’s demands and routines, he summarized. He listed a variety of types of mental illnesses, from anxiety disorders to mood disorders to schizophrenia/psychotic disorders to personality disorders, with these disorders ranging from mild to severe depending on the situation. Mr. Walsh said that mental illness generally happens over a period of time and people should be on alert for patterns such as silent listless behaviour and decreased work or activity performance. Signs can include increased anxiety over perceived problems, sudden changes in mood and even hallucinations. While admitting that community resources to help with mental illness treatment have not yet caught up with

demand, he outlined a range of treatments available such as medication therapy, family therapy, hospitalization, psychotherapy, group therapy and counseling. Mr. Walsh told about depression, bi-polar disorders and schizophrenia. Symptoms of depression include loss of energy, thoughts of suicide and change of behaviour. Bi-polar disorders used to be associated with the term manic depression. These disorders see a person experience periods of depression as well as periods of elated behaviour. Schizophrenia, which usually develops in males between the ages of 15 and 25 and in females between the ages of 25 and 35, has a startling statistic associated with it: ten percent of people diagnosed with schizophrenia will end up committing suicide.

He said that the best thing for a person to do when another person is undergoing a mental health crisis is simply to listen, even if you have a desire to give advice instead. But Mr. Walsh’s core message in dealing with mental health issues was simple: “Remember, the person comes first.� He reminded everyone that at the core of every situation there is always a person who is being affected. Kathleen Gorman, in her presentation at the forum, related her story which saw her experience years of mental illness, including feelings of being “hopeless� and “helpless� and thinking of suicide. But she was resilient and now is a trained peer supporter, helping others with their mental health issues. See MENTAL, page 16

Over the course of the past five months, I have written a total of 13 articles for the Stittsville News EMC ranging from a story about quilts being made for cancer patients to the arrival of spring at the Richmond Nursery. I feel like I’ve seen it all! This co-op has been an amazing

experience for me and it is all thanks to my co-op teacher Mr. Young. In January he contacted the Stittsville News EMC about a possible co-op placement for me. Less than a month later, I began interviewing people and having my stories published – something that I never imagined would happen this early in my life. Co-op has truly been one of the best experiences in my life so far. By taking a co-op placement at the Stittsville News EMC, I have not only gained valuable work experience but also I have confirmed that I want to be a journalist when I get older, something of which I was un-

sure previously. I have met so many people with my co-op placement. They all have provided advice that has been very helpful in my co-op placement and which I plan on putting to use in the future as well. I have also met many people outside the newspaper office, namely people within the Richmond/ Stittsville community. All of these people, whether I was interviewing them about their business or about a sport in which they excel or something else, all showed so much passion for what they do. I think that was my favourite thing about this whole co-op experience – just meeting peo-

ple who love what they do. Being involved in the community has made be like my community even more than I did before. It truly brought light to how wonderful the Stittsville and Richmond communities are and how great the people are who live in them. Having a co-op placement at the Stittsville News EMC has been an amazing opportunity. I would like to thank John Curry who has been an amazing source for article ideas as well as an amazing editor for my articles. I will truly miss writing a weekly article for the paper but I’m sure you’ll see me back one day.

Busy ‘Come and Try Day’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - They tried it and it was fun! Called “Come and Try Day,” the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (former Stittsville Villa) hosted a “Come and Try Day” for seniors on Thursday, June 20. It was a way not only of celebrating Seniors Month, which is June, but also marking the first day of summer while giving seniors from the community an opportunity to experience what goes on at

the Stittsville Seniors Community on a regular basis. Indeed, this first-ever “Come and Try Day” was all booked up. Its success has prompted the folks at the Stittsville Seniors Community to plan another similar event this coming September, with even more visitor spots available. And just what could visiting seniors try on this special day on Thursday, June 20? Well, there was a balance exercise class that could be experienced. And then there was an around-the-block excursion by

the Stittsville Seniors Community’s walking club, with the visitors all receiving t-shirts for their participation in the walk. And then at lunchtime, everyone – residents as well as visitors – got to enjoy a BBQ featuring hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad and more. They could enjoy these BBQ treats prepared by the Stittsville Senior Community’s chef Jake Davies either in the regular dining room or outside in the residence’s spacious garden setting, dining at a table under a sheltered canopy or at a table in the bright, warm sunshine which prevailed on this particular day. This BBQ, by the way, while happening

on this “Come and Try Day,” was not a special event – it is something that happens every Thursday during the summer at the Stittsville Seniors Community and this BBQ was simply the first one of what will be a regular Thursday happening throughout the coming summer at the Stittsville Seniors Community. But things were far from over on this “Come and Try Day” at the Stittsville Seniors Community with this BBQ lunch. Physiotherapist Joel Dlelrosario, who regularly leads exercise classes at the Stittsville Seniors Community, led ten participants, including both residents and visitors, through a class. And what a class it was!

The participants, including Joel, sat down in chairs all through it but that did not mean that they did not get a thorough and widespread exercise experience. They all used a “band” i.e. a brightly coloured (blue, orange or green) scarf-like accessory that would stretch. Under Joel’s direction, they would use this in various ways to exercise the muscles and limbs; for instance, putting it around the back of the chair and themselves and then bending forward. There were other exercises not using the “band,” but also done while sitting. See VISITING SENIORS, page 17

Both Mr. Walsh and Ms. Gorman were presented with gifts of appreciation by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who organized this community mental health forum in Stittsville in cooperation with Ottawa Public Health, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and the Royal Ottawa Health Group. He said in his opening remarks that this community mental health forum was organized because of mental health related incidents which have happened in Stittsville in recent years. He said that the forum was held to help residents discover how to prevent such incidents and where to go to get help when needed. He said that the forum was meant to put a face on mental health and to show residents what support services are available to meet mental health challenges. “Mental illness knows no boundaries,” councillor Qadri said, noting that education, age and other factors have no impact on who is affected. He also noted that a stigma is often associated with the disease. He said that it is crucial that people are educated about the nature of mental illness, noting that everyone has a role to play in helping make this increased awareness happen.

Visiting seniors enjoy ‘Come and Try Day’ Continued from page 16

One was a simple exercise of holding the palm of the hand out, like you were holding a cup of coffee on it and then slowly moving the hand until it pointed toward your chest – all without tipping over the imaginary coffee cup.

Joel says that he tries to modify the exercises which he introduces to these classes each week so that they remain fresh and interesting for the participants. And following the exercise class, participants were immediately able to enjoy a musical concert that was going on in the adjacent main lounge area. Local musicians

Christine Philipson Steadman, Katherine Allan and Sandra Allan were on hand, with Christine and Katherine playing flute and Sandra playing the cello. And what a musical journey it was on which they took their listeners, visiting Mexico, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Southern United States and even the South Pacific

– a trip that they could enjoy without leaving the comfortable armchairs and sofas of the lounge area thanks to their musical travel guides. Indeed, the Mexican hat dance number did provoke some rhythmic clapping and lots of feet moving in time with the energetic beat. And in Ireland, everyone got to enjoy not only a toe-tapping Irish jig but also the iconic “Danny Boy.” Ireland doesn’t get any better than this.

And so it went, with even a visit to the island of “Bali Ha’i” thanks to the music of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and the 1949 Broadway musical “South Pacific.” Afternoon tea was served in the lounge to those enjoying this concert. But this was not the end of the “Come and Try Day” program. It was followed by a pub and refreshment time after which there was a summer supper served in the main lounge.

Zakk Coulas becoming known for his art John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Zakk Coulas is one pretty cool guy. Just ask Brendan Graveline, his educational assistant (EA) at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville who is a big fan of the 12 year old grade seven student who doesn’t let his cerebral palsy keep him from learning and from pursuing his interests like art, golf and music. Indeed, Brendan admits that he loves working with Zakk because it doesn’t feel like work. It’s more of a feeling of hanging out with a great guy, he says about his school days with Zakk. And it is not only his EA Brendan who loves being around Zakk. Teachers are always stopping in the hall to interact with Zakk. And so do all of his fellow grade 7 classmates, as he is very much a part of their school life. In fact, it is not only his fellow grade 7’s who know and interact with Zakk. He is popular with students from every other grade in the school with many of them knowing him through his art. Brad Pettes, a grade 12 student who has done a co-op placement as an EA working with

I USE MINE TO PAY-PER-RIDE BECAUSE TICKETS COST MORE

Zakk and Brendan, says that students are always stopping in the hall and talking with Zakk even though Zakk’s main communication is done through his hands. A person can ask him a question with two choices for the answer and Zakk will tap the appropriate hand to indicate his choice of answer. Brendan agrees with Brad’s assessment of Zakk’s popularity around the school, saying that Zakk’s classmates hang out with him at lunch time. He notes that Zakk has a very healthy social life at the school. “He’s full of energy,” Brendan says about Zakk, identifying him as a very positive person who tries so hard at everything that he does. And one of these activities is his art which is becoming much in demand around the school community. Brendan, in fact, has a piece of Coulas art at his home and he finds that people are asking how they can get some of the art. “People love the Coulas art – they love it,” Brendan states, noting that people love its textures. And the art, which Zakk only started taking seriously when he started at Sacred Heart last fall, has been a key in the improvement of Zakk’s fine motor skills. How good is Zakk’s art? Well, he was given

permission to paint a wall mural at the school, his biggest piece of art to date. And what a mural – it is an eye-catching red abstract, with Zakk choosing the various colours and the method of painting and then doing it himself. A fan of both the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Blue Jays, Zakk loves golf, watching others play. Brendan was even surprised one day to run into Zakk at the Golf Town store. Zakk also is a huge music fan with his taste favouring classic rock. Indeed, Brendan says that if Zakk could listen to music 24/7, he would. He listens to music during his stretch breaks and when doing his art. “He’s a very artsy guy,” Brendan says about Zakk, referring to not only his art but also his music. Brendan likes that Zakk is such a positive personality, always very respectful of others. “He’s one of those ‘brighten your day’ kind of guys, “ Brendan says, noting that Zakk is easy to get along with and is always smiling and in a good mood, with the only exception being when he is uncomfortable and perhaps hurting because of a leg cramp or other physical discomfort. Add this consistent good humour with his

sense of humour and you can see that Zakk is quite a guy. Thanks much to his art, Zakk is passing all the milestones that have been set for him with regard to his fine motor skills. He has improved so much this year that Brendan is going to have to come up with new milestones for him to try to achieve. Brendan notes that Zakk is not only enjoying school but that he is one of the hardest workers. For example, just holding a pencil presents a physical challenge to him and he has to work hard just to accomplish this. And his hard work is paying off. Where it initially took him perhaps two weeks to complete a painting, he now can do one in three to four days thanks to his improved motor skills. In his painting, he chooses all of the colours and does all the painting and then decides when the painting is finished. Zakk has full days at school, taking subjects like English and math where hand manipulatives are used. He also works on his physical abilities – stretching, walking biking and walking up and down the school stairs. Brendan admits that a school day for Zakk is very busy, both mentally and physically.

Allyson Theriault of Stittsville helps build school in Nepal john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Late last year, Allyson Theriault of Stittsville was selling “Be the Change” bracelets to raise funds to travel to rural Nepal to help build a school. Thanks to the support of the Stittsville community and the Blue Bamboo yoga family, she raised the $3,000 needed to be able to travel to Nepal and help with a school building project. She is most grateful to everyone who purchased a bracelet or who simply offered words of encouragement. She is especially thanked to Sheila Rowbotham, owner of the Blue Bamboo Yoga studio and to the Blue Bamboo community for their support of her endeavour. Allyson was teaching yoga both at Blue Bamboo Yoga in Stittsville as well as at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. The bracelets which she sold for $10 each to help raise the funds that she needed to travel to Nepean to work on the new school were made of handmade hemp and beads. Allyson made the colourful bracelets herself. She began making them in Sept. 2012 even though she did not know how to bead or make such bracelets before she started with the fundraising initiative. She taught herself

how to do it by watching a YouTube video. Besides selling the bracelets, Allyson also took a part-time job at the Bayshore Shopping Centre to help her meet her fundraising goal. Allyson found her trip to Nepal to be both a “life changing” and an “eye opening” experience. She was a member of a group of 12 Canadian volunteers from places like Stittsville, Ottawa, London and Kamloops who travelled to Kathmandu in Nepal. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and is its largest city. After meeting with their Nepalese hosts, namely Creating Possibilities – Nepal, Allyson and the others had an opportunity to witness the work that the group does in Kathmandu. After this, they took a bumpy, dusty, 11 hour bus ride southwest of Kathmandu to Lamahi. It took the 11 hours to travel 390 kilometers. At Lamahi, each day the group drove 30 minutes out to the rural area of Chainpur to work on the second storey of a new school building which was being called “Canada House.” This new school building is replacing another building that is unsafe and will be torn down. This area of Nepal, known as the “Terai,” is home to the Tharu tribe which has been a victim of bonded labour. Girls as young as seven years

They are able to do this thanks to the support of Creating Possibilities and its host partner IWEN. Each day while there, Allyson

Euchre is now being played on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. in the upstairs lounge at the Stittsville Legion Hall with everyone in the community welcome to attend. This is in addition to the regular Tuesday afternoon euchre

Theriault and the group of fellow volunteers arrived on site at about 9:30 a.m. and worked until 3:30 p.m. carrying bricks, bags of sand, concrete mix and pails of water up to the second floor work site. The project had a local work crew and foreman who made sure that a quality job was being done. Before going on this volunteer trip, people back in Canada would occasionally ask Allyson why the people in Nepal could not build their own school. After her experience there, she now knows the answer to this question. Quite simply, the people of Nepal are capable of building their own school and probably do a better job of it than a bunch of volunteer Canadians who are not used to the heat and sun that prevails there. But the Nepalese people lack the money to pay for the needed building supplies. A portion of the money raised in Canada by volunteers like Allyson Theriault paid for the building supplies for this project. In fact, Allyson points out that in reality the people of Nepal let the volunteer Canadians do the work. This is a very different scenario from any impression that the people of Nepal need Canadians to do the work. The best part of her trip to Nepal for Allyson Theriault was not the ac-

parties held at the Legion Hall. Bingo is played at the Legion Hall every Wednesday starting at 6:45 p.m. Euchre is played every Tuesday starting at 1:15 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy both of these regular weekly happenings. Monday, July 1st, Canada

Day is going to be a special day at the Stittsville Legion Hall with the holding of a “Fun Day” complete with BBQ, face painting and a magician, starting at 11 a.m., followed by music in the evening. This will be open to everyone in the community. Drop by and have a great time celebrating Canada Day.

tual building of the school but building friendships and connections with the people there. She did yoga with the girls out in the school yard under the hot sung. She got to celebrate the Hindu festival of Holi with local villagers. She laughed with the local children as they sang “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.” And she felt genuinely welcomed and cared for by people wherever she went in Nepal. From this trip, she has developed the impression that Nepal is a country of great beauty, not only in its scenery but in its people. She notes that despite the conditions of povery there, there is no sense of despair in the people. Rather, she points out, there is a “beautiful sense of community and lots of smiles and laughter.” Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia with a population of about 27 million people. There are still 86 children in this Nepalese community with the new school who require sponsorship. Those interested should check out www.iwencanada.org for sponsorship information. Information on service based trips can be found at www.developingworldconnections. org . Help can also be given by purchasing a handmade scarf by the mothers’ group at the school in Nepal by going to www.iwenunako.com .

Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations Special to the News

EMC news - Canada Day 2013 is here! Everyone is invited to celebrate this 146th birthday of our country at Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations happening on the grounds of Sacred Heart High School at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road, capped off with a gala fireworks display. There a host of activities ranging from continuous entertainment to youth games and attractions, all, of course, free thanks to the host Stittsville Village Association and its corporate and government sponsors. The only thing that will have a price tag at these Canada Day celebrations on Monday, July 1 will be the BBQ and pony rides. The food will be good, with the Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus doing the barbecuing. This year there will be two performance areas on the go: the main stage as well as a second stage that is new this year that will see performances by, among others, students from West End Music, Grace Lachance and Joel and Kyle Curry. The main stage, meanwhile, will be graced by such performers as Amos The Transparent, the band that was such a hit at last year’s celebrations and is the signature, windup band this year. But the entertainment will extend beyond these stages. Spring Action Trampoline will be putting on an electrifying show right beside the main stage, somewhere around 7:15 p.m. The Ultimate Cheerleaders will be leading the opening parade of dignitaries to the stage at 3 p.m. These dignitaries will include CarletonMississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor

Shad Qadri. They will be cutting a Canada Day cake for everyone following the opening ceremony. Zip-E the Clown (aka Adam Zimmerman) will be on the grounds at the celebrations, producing balloon creations and otherwise entertaining one and all. Other attractions at these Canada Day celebrations will be Little Ray’s Reptiles, the Countryside Petting Zoo, a hay ride, a bounce, a slide, a train, games and, something new this year, laser tag. Blue Bamboo Yoga will have a tent where classes will be going on. Moore Chiropractic will also be on site with a tent with information about the importance of posture and spinal alignment. Dandelion Kids consignment shop, in cooperation with The Pottery Playhouse, will have children’s activities. Stittsville’s Scouts will have an area for activities such as archery while the West Ottawa Soccer Club will have players on hand to provide tips about playing soccer. CocoMutts will have a tent with family-oriented activities. The Goulbourn Museum and the Stittsville District Lions Club will both be presented for the celebrations. Ottawa Fire Services firefighters and the Goulbourn Historical Society are two other groups that will be at the celebrations.. And glow sticks will once again this year be distributed in the evening as darkness comes and just before the gala fireworks which will be the climax of the celebrations. Those planning to attend these Canada Day celebrations, either from 3 p.m. on or just for the fireworks, are reminded to take along a chair or blanket for seating.

MARY COOK Overworked, Winners in euchre overtired in Mary Cook’s Memories the summer

EMC news –Mike O’Connell had the men’s high score at the euchre party at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Tuesday, June 18, with Dwain McGillvray as the runner-up.

Would he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, maybe banging his head on the oven door? I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through the Eaton’s catalogue. The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer: they were outside throwing balls, using their sling shots or shooting off their B.B. guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen. The sun was still streaking through the west window and the kitchen had been redded up. Bedtime was just a couple hours away. I sat very quietly watching Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. His chin was on his chest and I could see him breathing, his plaid shirt rising and falling gently. It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other pieces of farm machinery had been moved on the stone boat to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the morning chores, got the milking done and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields. He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time to come back home for the evening chores. And so I sat and watched Father and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed. Dust of the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds. I could see the edge of his combination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable. But of course that would wake him from his much needed sleep. I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his worn out body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine and nothing was going to change it this time of year.

There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant. There was scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather. So from dawn to dusk, Father like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season. Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him. But Father was wiry and as straight as a die. But as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began. He was always so much more tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day was heavy on him and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow. So I sat quietly, watching Father breathe, not a muscle stirring in either of us. And I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the turned-down oven door. I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us? The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight and I was still alone at the old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father. He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors and scraping their feet on the mat, tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and then she would do what she did every night this time of year: she would tap Father on the shoulder. She may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head and look around the kitchen as if he were lost. I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table. Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen and he would turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. Soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, followed by soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night. It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after.

Cornmeal-crusted trout with fresh Subdivision in northeast corner of Fernbank lands jerk sauce tantalizes the taste buds Continued from page 1

Foodland Ontario Special to the News

EMC lifestyle - The delicate texture of farm raised-trout is enhanced by a light coating of cumin-scented cornmeal. As a contrast to its mild sweet taste, we’ve created a bold sauce from fresh Ontario vegetables. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Serves four with 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of sauce. Ingredients Fresh Jerk Sauce: 4 green onions, sliced 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped Half a jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped 15 ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper Canola oil 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) Trout: 2 rainbow trout fillets (375 g/12 oz each), skin removed 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt 1 egg

Eventually, when further development occurs in the Fernbank lands, the subdivision will be connected to Stittsville via the Abbott Street extension. At a public meeting at which this proposed subdivision plan was presented at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena on Tuesday, June 18 which was attended by about 15 members of the public, there was a suggestion that a public dog park area for walking dogs be incorporated in the plan, perhaps along the Trans Canada Trail at the south end of the site. However, no commitment was made by the developer to this and there was even some opposition expressed based on such dog parks not being sanitary with dog owners not picking up their dog’s droppings. Lands in the northeast corner of this site which are in the Carp River flood plain will be conveyed by the developer to the city of Ottawa with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority responsible for their protection and maintenance.

75 ml (1/3 cup) milk 20 ml (4 tsp) butter Preparation Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor. Whirl until the contents are coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Don’t puree. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened -- about 20 minutes. Stir in the coriander, if you are using it. Trout: Cut fish into serving-size pieces. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk egg with milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in egg mixture and then in cornmeal mixture. In large skillet, melt 15ml (1 tbsp) of the butter, over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, for about three to five minutes. Add remaining butter to side of pan. Turn fish, letting melted butter flow over pan before placing fish down and cook for about three to five minutes. Remove to plates. Spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish.

The proposed collector road running in a north/south and then westerly direction in this subdivision will have homes facing on it. Planner Miguel Tremblay of Fotenn Consultants, working for Mattamy Homes, said that having homes fronting along the street make it a liveable environment. Such a collector does slow down traffic flow due to the presence of driveways and due to on-street parking. He said that the “true people mover” for traffic in a north/south direction in the Fernbank lands will be the future north/south arterial which will be located to the west of this subdivision. Mr. Tremblay said that not all of the streets in this proposed new subdivision will have sidewalks, although there would be room for sidewalks given the 18 metre width of the road right-of-ways. He said that the location of sidewalks in the subdivision will be determined by the city, basically based on whether the sidewalk will provide a pedestrian link in the subdivision. “The city is pretty strategic where they put them,” Mr. Tremblay said in

Pies in Richmond Special to the News

EMC news - Do you have a yearning for a delicious piece of pie? Well, take note that the pie makers at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond are back to work and you can

regard to sidewalks, noting that they are expensive for the city to maintain and so if they do not lead to a destination like a school or a district park, they are unlikely to be installed. But he made it clear that the city will dictate where sidewalks should be installed by the developer. Mattamy Homes typically frontends the installation of neighbourhood parks in their subdivisions. It is likely that the proposed neighbourhood park in this subdivision will be developed early in the process, with Mattamy Homes front-ending the cost and then recouping the funds from development fee clawbacks. The city will be determining what features the park should have. There will be no local commercial sites in this proposed subdivision. Mr. Tremblay said that it is difficult to get national chains interested in local neighbourhood retail locations. For the Fernbank lands, there has been a neighbourhood commercial core planned for the centre of the area which is around the intersection of the future north/south arterial and the future Abbott Street eastward extension.

Traditional Chinese tea ceremony is no drive-thru John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s definitely not like Tim Hortons where speed and hustle is the name of the game. Indeed, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony is the opposite of a drive-thru experience. It is peaceful and slow, with graceful movements predominating. And the tea is not prepared ahead of time. It is prepared and served in slow and deliberate steps. This was all explained and demonstrated at a Chinese tea ceremony at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursday morning, June 20, presented by representatives of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre in partnership with the Ottawa Public Library. After introductory remarks which explained that a traditional Chinese tea ceremony is regarded as an opportunity to be mind cleansing

and calming while allowing the person to make peace with the outside world, a video on the tea culture in Taiwan entitled “Tea: Taiwan’s Golden Treasure” was shown. It explained how a Chinese tea ceremony fosters peace, squelches depression and, yes, also quenches thirst. It is something that adds peace in the bustle of modern life. Slow, graceful movements are made when preparing and pouring tea in a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. In Taiwan, the invitation to “please have a cup of tea” indicates the warmest of welcomes. Following the video, Wen Jean Ho, founder of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre, demonstrated a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, with those in attendance getting to enjoy not only a cup of tea but also a couple of traditional goodies served on a square plate. Ms. Ho explained that deliberate, slow, graceful and dignified movements mark a tra-

ditional Chinese tea ceremony. She explained that the tea is not prepared ahead of time but that it becomes part of a process which includes using tongs and a wooden spoon, a warmed-up tea pot, various steps involving using a vessel called a “tea ocean”, warming up the tea cups, using tea leaves, and keeping the water used at 80 degrees, the best temperature for maximizing the taste of the tea. “Every step is slow and deliberate,” Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre volunteer Jez Blomqvist reiterated as she commented on Ms. Ho’s movements in the Chinese tea ceremony. She explained that all of these deliberate movements are made to encourage a calm atmosphere at the ceremony. And even the drinking of the tea, in small, almost thimble like cups, is slow and unrushed. Before drinking, a person is to hold the cup up to the nose to inhale the tea’s aroma and fragrance. You don’t do this at Tim Hortons.

And when drinking the team, the person is urged to let the taste linger on the palate. Ms. Ho commented that for the Chinese, drinking tea is like drinking wine is for those in the Western culture Ms. Blomqvist noted that the traditional Chinese tea ceremony cultivates patience and good manners among the youth of the Chinese culture. It also fosters a respect among the youth for their Chinese elders. The Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre was founded to help Chinese seniors in the area be more independent and move away from their sometimes isolated existence due to language and culture differences. The Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre provides English lessons, encourages volunteer work and supports visits to seniors residences. For more information about the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre, please phone 613-440-3788 or email kcssc@kcssc.org .

Editor: I was pleased to see the Stittsville News EMC coverage of the War of 1812 Tribute at the Goulbourn Museum on Sunday, June 16 and the photos of and support for the re-enactors present who brought the War’s uniforms, clothing and history to life. However, I wish to correct the references to the name of the Regiment of the redcoat British soldier shown in photos associated with the article. The re-created Regiment portrayed by this soldier is the Canadian Regiment of Fencible Infantry, commonly referred to as the Canadian Fencibles. Some of the reasons chosen by re-enactors to portray this Regiment are that it is local to Eastern Ontario, that its soldiers distinguished themselves at the Battle of the Chateauguay and the Battle of Crysler Farm, that the Regiment performed service throughout the War of

1812 along the St. Lawrence River by providing labour and guard on boats and transports, and that the Regiment’s soldiers settled in the area of the Perth Military Settlement. Re-enactors including myself are proud to portray this Canadian Regiment. The mention of the 84th Regiment of Foot with the photos refers to the re-created Royal Highland Emigrants Regiment which is associated with Bram Blenk Jr., the militia costumed re-enactor at the War of 1812 Tribute. This 84th Regiment of Foot served in the Revolutionary War (Loyalist) time period. Keith Lindsey Munster (Editor’s note: Keith Lindsay was the re-enactor who was the redcoat British soldier from the Canadian Regiment of Fencible Infantry who was at the Goulbourn Museum’s War of 1812 Tribute on Sunday, June 16.)
