Garden time in Goulbourn John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It was garden time in Goulbourn last Saturday. Twelve gardens with varying features were open for viewing and inspection in a self-guided garden tour organized by the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. The gardens were spread throughout Goulbourn, ranging from Richmond to Munster to Stittsville. One of the Stittsville gardens on display in the tour was the extensive rock garden which Ross Connor of Amberwood has developed over the years on a site adjacent to his Bayhill Ridge home.

Ross Connor of Amberwood stands in a section of his extensive rock garden that sits adjacent to the Poole Creek pathway and Poole Creek itself just east of Springbrook Drive in Stittsville. The garden was one of 12 gardens on the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society’s garden tour last Saturday.

Self-guided tour involves 12 gardens tomatoes. A Flewellyn Road garden is found at the end of a tree lined driveway. Mixed flower beds and a vegetable garden are all found on the property, with a five acre woodlot at the rear of the property. In Stittsville, gardens on the tour included the extensive, lot-filling garden of Jo-Anne Ilkiw that has been developed over the past 30 years. See HORTICULTURAL, page 5

Ross, who is also an artist of note, also had several pieces of his colourful art on display as well, providing an additional attraction for visitors. The garden itself is spectacular on its own, extending beneath trees while featuring a variety of flowers such as yellow primroses, shrubs and ornamental attractions such as a foot bridge and Oriental features and including even a painted rock or two – after all, Mr. Connor is an artist. The garden, located between the Poole Creek pathway and Mr. Connor’s home, has also been extended to the far side of the pathway, adjacent to Poole Creek itself. Mr. Connor says that he had spent the three weeks leading up to last Saturday on his hands and knees, getting the garden in shape for viewing. He only finished up the work the evening before. But now the garden is in great shape for the summer and he can just sit back and enjoy it. If you were not on the garden tour but would like to see this glorious garden, it can be easily seen. It is just east of Springbrook Drive where it crosses Poole Creek and where the postal kiosk is located. The garden, on both sides of the Poole Creek pathway running along Poole Creek just east of Springbrook Drive, can be enjoyed by walking along the pathway. Another garden which was eye-opening, to say the least, on the tour was that at the home of Peggy and Peter Jordan on Lucas Lane at the Heritage Corners subdivision at the corner of Fernbank Road and Munster Road in Goulbourn west of Stittsville. This garden not only offered a largely treed property with immaculately maintained plantings of hostas and other flowering and perennial plants, especially along the street front of the property, but also offered a graphic lesson in vegetable gardening and the value of the new Seed Haven product which Peter Jordan and a neighbour have developed and have been marketing for the first time this spring. The Seed Haven not only keeps crawling bugs and pests away from vegetables and herbs but also provides an improved growing environment for the plants by retaining more moisture and reflecting sunlight on the plants.

Indeed, Peter had two vegetable gardens set up side by side. One garden was a traditional vegetable garden while the other garden had the plants growing in the Seed Haven enclosures. Both gardens were planted at the same time, with the same number of seeds and have received the same treatment regarding watering and maintenance. And yet the difference between the two gardens was striking, to say the least. In the traditional garden, carrots and beans were just developing, with leaves that were bug eaten. All gardeners have experienced this scenario with their own vegetable gardens. Yet, beside this garden was the Seed Haven garden in which the carrots, beans and other vegetables were growing like crazy, were green and robust and showed no pest damage – all of this thanks to the white Seed Haven enclosures in which the seeds had been planted. A unique design of these enclosures prevents pests and crawling bugs from accessing the plants. Currently this Seed Haven product is being tested and investigated by a number of businesses which deal in garden products. Peter and Peggy Jordan are hopeful that this will lead to more marketing exposure for the product in future years. Other stops on this self-guided garden tour also offered interesting and intriguing experiences for gardening visitors. A garden on Richland Drive in Richmond started in the front yard and wrapped around the house, ending at a restful patio. An Italian-style garden was featured in the rear yard. The Quiet Garden on the grounds of St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond not only features two labyrinths but also a fountain and a winding pathway beside a creek. All of this is maintained by volunteers. A large perennial garden at a home on McBean Street in Richmond was another Richmond stop on the tour. Blue delphiniums, day lilies of various colours, a rose garden and a shrub border with lilies and periwinkle are all part of this garden, as are a goldfish pond with a waterfall and several stone patios. Saunders Farm at Munster is well known for its Halloween attractions but its gardens are also something to see. There’s a large vegetable garden which produces vegetables for use for lunches and events at the Farm. These include lettuce, kale, cucumbers, carrots and heritage

Knights of Columbus donate to True Patriot Love Foundation Special to the News

The Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville have made a $500 donation to the True Patriot Love Foundation. The funds donated were raised from the sale of food by the Knights at Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations last year. The True Patriot Love Foundation is an organization dedicated to Canada’s soldiers

and war veterans and their families. The True Patriot Love Foundation has raised over $18 million thanks to the generosity of corporate sponsors, organizations and individual Canadians. The Foundation funds a variety of programs that focus on family health and support, physical health and rehabilitation and mental health and well being of Canada’s soldiers and veterans.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Richard Leger, left, and Joseph Carbonetto, right, of the Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Stittsville hold the $500 donation cheque and information about the True Patriot Love Foundation as the Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus Council is making a donation to the Foundation.

The True Patriot Love Foundation honours the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces, veterans and their families in both times of peace and conflict by funding programs in mental health, physical rehabilitation, family supports and veteran transition that address the challenges related to the impact of service; funding research to discover new treatments, establish evidence-based programs and increase access to programs and treatments dedicated to advancing the well being of serving members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families; discovering solutions to systemic challenges that military families and veterans face by facilitating national discussions and international symposia with representatives from across all relevant sectors; and pairing injured soldiers with Canadian business leaders on expeditions to profile a soldier’s perseverance and continued commitment to service as well as the transferability of military skills to a civilian career. The True Patriot Love Foundation is a national fundraising organization which works with other charitable organizations that provide services to military men and women. It is an umbrella organization that directs funds to the military charities that have the infrastructure and expertise to deliver focused programming. The True Patriot Love Foundation focuses its funding and advocacy in four areas: mental

health, physical rehabilitation, family supports and veteran transition. The Foundation has directly supported numerous Military Family Resource Centres in communities across Canada. It has also supported Camp Maple Leaf, a camp that welcomes veterans and their families; the Military Family Fund, a special fund within the Department of National Defence that helps soldiers’ families in need; Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur, a transition program for members leaving the military who want to become entrepreneurs; Veterans Transition Network, a program that addresses transition and mental health; and The Outward Bound Veteran program, an adventure based resiliency and peer-to-peer support program

for recently deployed veterans who are struggling with re-integration into civilian culture. The True Patriot Love Foundation also helps military children with special needs. This stems from the review of the well being of Canadian military families by the Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence in the fall of 2013 which concluded that children and youth are paying a price for the sacrifices made by their military parents. Among the findings in the report are that children of deployed military members experience more physical issues including increased stress and sleeping problems compared to other children and that scientific research shows that military children often feel isolated

and ostracized in their schools because their experiences are not understood by educators and peers. The True Patriot Love Foundation funds a wide range of programs that specialize in the mental health and well being of Canadian military and veterans including counselling programs and treatments for soldiers with operational stress injuries like PTSD, depression, anxiety and substance abuse; programs that educate families on the signs of PTSD and suicide prevention; counselling to address separation anxiety and other challenges related to the military lifestyle; and grief counselling for spouses, children and parents of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.

Horticultural Society garden tour It not only features a central, fenced off central organic vegetable garden but also has a pond feature with waterfall, several sitting areas and a remote control vehicle race track winding its way through the garden. The extensive garden of Don and Fran Cooper on Birdstone Avenue features shrubs and walking paths, a vegetable garden, and numerous flowers including roses, perennials and annuals. The Elm Crescent garden of Peter and Denise Torunski is a combination of perennial flowers and shurbs along with an extensive organic vegetable garden. A garden on Sable Run Drive is an example of what can be an alternative to a lawn as it features a garden and path. The home’s backyard has flower gardens. A home on Amberlakes Drive is an example of how a lot of gardening can take place in a

small space provided that it is well designed and planned. The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society is most interested on hearing any feedback, positive or negative, from those who took this garden tour. Any comments from participants can be provided through the Horticultural Society’s website at https://sites.google.com/site/ sghortsoc/ or via email to tour organizer Helene Rivest at rivesth@gmail.com . The Horticultural Society is appreciative of the cooperation of Ritchie Feed and Seed and Richmond Nursery in Richmond and Rona Stittsville Building Centre, Ritchie Feed and Seed and Stittsville Glass and Signs, all in Stittsville, in selling the tickets for the tour. The Horticultural Society is also most appreciative of the gardeners who opened up their gardens for viewing on this year’s tour. They offered a spectacular glimpse of the gardening possibilities available to residents of Goulbourn.

Upcoming Drainage & Culvert Projects Please be advised that several projects will be commencing that impact residents in and around the village of Richmond. These projects include the construction of the Arbuckle Drain as well as culvert replacements on Shea Road and Eagleson Road. The Arbuckle Municipal Drain construction was given a Commence Work Order on June 18th with construction of the drain to be completed by October 15th. This work will be within the existing drainage ditch that runs between the development lands west of Queen Charlotte to the Jock River. The project will allow unimpeded water flow from Perth Street to the Jock River and also prevent future erosion of the existing ditch. The Eagleson Road culvert will be replaced in August which will necessitate a 3 week closure of Eagleson Road at the end of August. The culvert is located just north of Perth Street. Detours will be in place. In addition to this closure, another closure will be in place on Shea Road for another culvert replacement north of Hemphill Street. That closure is scheduled to begin on July 13th. I am working with staff to ensure that both Shea Road and Eagleson Road are not closed at the same time. I will provide a further update on these projects in my column next week.

Last Friday’s performance by Roland Doucet at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville was like a musical tour down through the years in the company of some of the most renowned blues, jazz and folk musicians. And all this from just one person and his guitar – what a tour guide to have! Roland touched on many iconic musicians of the past as he travelled along his two hour performance at the Gaia Java music evening. There was a couple of songs associated with Fats Waller, the American jazz pianist and singer who died in 1943 but not before he laid the groundwork for modern jazz piano JOHN CURRY/METROLAND stylings. One of the songs was “Ain’t Roland Doucet is all ready with his guitar to sing Misbehavin’,â€? one of Waller’s hits and accompany himself on the guitar at the music and a song which was inducted into evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 – Stittsville last Friday. it’s that good! He followed his Fats Waller pair of +RO\ 6SLULW songs with a Big Bill Broonzy song.

To begin this week, I just wanted to provide an update on the issue of wild parsnip management that I have touched on in recent weeks. Some of you may have begun seeing signs in roadside ditches indicating that pesticides are being sprayed. These are the standard signs, as per the Pest Control Products Act, that must be used and all signs are related to the spraying of herbicides in dealing with wild parsnip. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to contact my office. If your property happens to front onto one of the areas that is proposed for spraying, you can also opt out if you do not wish that area to be sprayed. For more information on wild parsnip and why it needs to be managed, please visit rideaugoulbourn.ca/ wildparsnip.

Roland Doucet leads tour through music of renowned blues, jazz and folk singers pair was influential in the folk music movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s. And he performed a Jimmy Reed tune. Reed, who died in 1976, was an American blues musician whose distinctive style of the blues had an impact on some of the early rock and roll artists including even Elvis Presley. Roland opened up the second half of his performance with “Bye Bye Bluebird,� a 1926 song that has become a pop standard over the years. And he followed this up with, among other songs, one by the famous Louise “Satchmo� Armstrong, a trumpeter and singer who had a major influence on jazz music as well as in pop music. And then there was “Ain’t No Sunshine,� a major hit for African-American singer Bill Withers who won a Grammy Award for best rhythm and blues song with the song in 1972. Withers was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. Roland also sang “San Francisco Bay Blues,� a song first released in 1955 and a song most associated with American one-man band Jesse Fuller. This song has been covered by many artists over the years. Among the other songs performed by Roland were “Fly Me To The Moon,� a 1954 song that has become a jazz standard and sung by numerous artists including the crooner Nat King Cole. Roland also included a song by Louisiana born American singer Tony Joe White who is known for his Cajun swamp rock music. Roland accented all of his songs during his performance with guitar flourishes and riffs, all of which added to the overall musical atmosphere of the evening. Roland started performing at the age of 14, attending the famous Berklee Music College in Boston for a time in the 1980’s before going to live in New Orleans where he played blues, jazz and rhythm and blues. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge but donations to help the performer with expenses are welcome. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

The Company of Fools theatre troupe will present William Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors� on Saturday, July 4 at 7 p.m. at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville. Audiences are invited to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. Admission is free but at the end of the performance, a hat will be passed for a suggested $15 donation.

Among those taking part was Tracy Power, a parent who is the mother of two and a cancer survivor who is now going through a second battle with the disease. Indeed, it is because of Stittsville Childcare Centre parents like Tracy Power who are battling or have battled cancer that this annual fundraiser BBQ in support of the Canadian Cancer Society was started and continues. The BBQ and associated activities such as children’s games are held as a way of honouring the lives of these parents and of keeping alive the memories of those who have passed away. Mrs. Jane Whyte is a parent who passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2007. Both of her sons attended the Stittsville Childcare Centre right up to last summer. Mrs. Gwen Foss passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010. A mother of two, one of her children attended the daycare at the Stittsville Childcare Centre. Mrs. Roxanne Noel passed away on Nov. 16, 2012 following a lengthy battle with cancer. Both of her children attend the Stittsville Childcare Centre. The Stittsville Childcare Centre is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Manchester Street in Stittsville, opposite the Stittsville Legion Hall.

Making time for the kids

A

s if freedom from classes weren’t enough, councillors and staff at city hall have given children across Ottawa another reason to cheer by moving forward with new guidelines for booking sports fields and ice surfaces. This new policy will help ensure scheduling is done in a manner that should see kids get the best crack at time on soccer fields, ball diamonds and rinks during times that are best suited for young athletes. In a society where kids are stuck in front of screens more and more, anything that makes physical activity more accessible – and less expensive -- is worth exploring. What city staff has devised is an end to the practice of recognizing “historic use,� which sees teams and organizations that have used a surface at a specific time in the past favoured for that time slot and location when new schedules are produced. Tighter deadlines for giving up unwanted time slots, granting clubs and associations more scheduling flexibility and stricter criteria for when adults are able to book “prime time� slots are also part of the

changes being put forward by the parks and recreation department. These changes will hopefully have the effect of not only making more time slots available, but will also help newer clubs and leagues – such as girls hockey – secure less expensive city rinks and fields, rather than paying for private facilities, which cost more. That raises the cost to play, which in turn acts as an obstacle on the road to growing those sports. Opening up as many recreational opportunities as possible for as many different segments of society as possible should be among the top goals of this city. The more chances people – and especially children – have to be active, the better our city will become. An active city will be a healthier city, and a safer city. Any more changes council can make with this in mind would be most welcome. Children and parents should be very happy with this move by the city. The rest of us should be happy too, even if it means some adult hockey teams need to start playing at different times during the day or night.

You all know the Canada Day drill

T

his is the week when we gather together to celebrate Canada or just run off to the country and let someone else do it. Ottawa has Canada Day down to a formula. The run-up is predictable: a big announcement is made about the artists who will be playing in the big show on the Hill, followed by gripes from people who say they’ve never heard of the artists who will be playing in the big show on the Hill. There are suggestions about where best to see the fireworks and there are comments on how ridiculous the suggestions are. And there is always at least one forlorn soul who writes that Canada Day should still be called Dominion Day. After that, the population divides

A certain amount of dealing with crowds is necessary here too, but these crowds are on the Queensway, trying, like you, to get away from the crowds. Fortunately this is not, like Toronto, a city that takes forever to get out of, but in the few moments while you are creeping along, you might be briefly tempted by the thought that it might be more enjoyable to be on foot downtown, wearing something red.

is a bit less solitude than you were counting on. A substantial number of cottage Canadians like to celebrate their country by buzzing around lakes in boats and other motorized things. Still, you’re not elbow to elbow on Elgin Street, are you? And things do calm down at night – until the fireworks begin. In recent years, there has been research showing that fireworks around lakes can be damaging to wildlife, frightening animals and birds and disrupting their normal activity. No one seems to have paid much attention, despite the fact that the family dog is among those affected. Today’s cottage fireworks are not to be confused with what happens around Parliament Hill on July 1, but they are not as far removed as they used to be. Originating a half century or more ago with the tradition of little children waving sparklers on the dock, the July 1 fireworks have

$900 thanks to retiring teachers Special to the News

Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” campaign to raise a million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario has gotten a $900 boost thanks to two retiring teachers at Stittsville Public School. Both of these retiring teachers – Mrs. Vanden Brekel and Mr. Gonis - are former teachers for Tysen at Stittsville Public School. Mrs. Vanden Brekel and Mr. Gonis together decided that instead of receiving gifts on their retirement, they asked that people provide donations for Tysen’s “Mission To A Million.” They ended up collecting $900 in total which is going to Tysen’s campaign. Tysen enjoyed being a student in both of their classes. Mrs. Vanden Brekel was Tysen’s first teacher at Stittsville Public School and he found her amazing in how she worked with him and made his transition to the school

so easy. Last week Tysen graduated from Goulbourn Middle School. It was the same day that a wish granted by MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario thanks to funding from the “Mission To A Million” campaign. Tysen likes to attend the delivery of such wishes but he was at his graduation instead. He is still hoping to meet the wish recipient, Steven, and present him with a “Mission to A Million” numbered shirt. Steven’s wish which has been granted is to visit New York City. Tysen continues to be busy delivering wishes although rainy weather last Sunday forced the cancellation of the delivery of two wishes. Tysen was going to “deliver” these wishes at an Ottawa Champions baseball game but the game was cancelled due to the weather. Tysen will be “delivering” these two wishes this week through personal visits to each recipient.

Dates for Christmas concert SUBMITTED

Tysen had both of them as his teachers when he attended Stittsville Public School and both of them, on their retirement this June, wanted donations to Tysen’s campaign rather than any retirement gifts.

It just under six months now to Christmas, so there’s lots of time yet. But just as a reminder, the annual Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has been scheduled for the weekend of Saturday, Dec. 5

and Sunday, Dec. 6. The concert will be presented at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5 and then again at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6. Both performances will be at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just off Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

The theme for this year’s concert will be sacred and secular songs from various countries. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be joined at this concert by the West Ottawa Chorale of guest male tenor and bass singers who will sing five songs with the Ladies Chorus.

‘The Comedy of Errors’ being performed at Alexander Grove The Company of Fools has a special relationship with Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” as it was the first full-length production that the group performed back in 1994. It chose to present “The Comedy of Errors” in its city park performances this year as a celebration of its 25th anniversary season as this year marks 25 years since a small band of friends began performing Shakespeare’s plays on street corners in downtown Ottawa. Over the ensuing 25 years, The Company of Fools has gone from being a fledgling group of actors to now being part of the theatrical establishment of the city with a known reputation. Its outdoor shows during the summer in city parks annually draw almost 10,000 people. It is believed that “The Comedy of Errors” was written sometime before 1595 because the play contains a topical reference to the wars of succession in France which would date its writing to anytime from 1589 to 1595. The play is known to have been performed in 1594 and also in 1604, although it was not published until 1623. Characters in “The Comedy of Errors” include Solinus, Duke of Ephesus; Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse; Emilia, Egeon’s lost wife, now Lady Abbess at Ephesus; Antipholus of Ephesus and Antipholus of Syracuse,

twin brothers, sons of Egeon and Emilia; Domino of Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse, twin brothers and servants, each serving his respective Antipholus; Adriana, wife of Antipholus of Ephesus; Luciana, Adriana’s sister; and various others such as a kitchen maid, a merchant, a goldsmith, a courtesan, a couple of merchants, a schoolmaster and other attendants. William Shakespeare, an English playwright widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and

one of the world’s greatest dramatists, was born in 1564 and died in 1616 at the age of 52. He wrote about 38 plays as well as numerous sonnets, poems and other verses. He produced his work between 1589 and 1613 with most of his early plays being mainly comedies and histories. This includes “The Comedy of Errors.”

“The Comedy of Errors,” one of William Shakespeare’s early plays, will be performed under the tall pine trees at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville this coming Saturday, July 4 at 7 p.m. The play will be performed by The Company of Fools theatre troupe, a group of professional actors who each summer present a Shakespearean play in parks across the city of Ottawa. “The Comedy of Errors” is one of Shakespeare’s most farcical comedies, with a major part of its humour coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, along with puns and word play. The play tells the story of two sets of identical twins that were accidentally separated at birth. It is designed to entertain audiences of all ages. Admission to the play is free but at the end of the performance, a hat will be passed through the audience with a suggested donation of $15 to help support The Company of Fools which is a not-for-profit organization as well as a registered charity. Those attending this 90 minute performance are reminded to take along lawn chairs or blankets for seating. “The Comedy of Errors” is directed by Catriona Leger and will feature actors Scott Florence, Al Connors, Geoff McBride, Gabrielle Lazarovitz, Katie Ryerson and Warren Bain.

June 26th, 2015 Kemp Woodland Commemorative Naming Approved This week at City Council approved the proposal to name a woodland area on Abbott Street East, adjacent to Sacred Heart High School, the “Kemp Woodland”. As our community grows I feel it is very important to retain the historical significance of the area and honour those who were part of creating the community we now call Stittsville. Born in 1838 in what is today called “Stittsville”, John Kemp was the son of William Kemp, one of Goulbourn’s early Irish settlers. John Kemp was a prominent 19th century Stittsville tavern keeper, railway contractor, and Goulbourn Township reeve from 1887 to 1894. He is best known as the builder and owner of the stone mansion Kemp’s Tavern, which now houses Cabotto’s Restaurant on Hazeldean Road. John Kemp purchased Lot 25, Concession 10 sometime before 1879. Today, an 8.9 hectare cedar forest lies within this lot, which is adjacent to the Trans-Canada Trail and Sacred Heart High School. The forest is owned by the City of Ottawa and is a designated Natural Environment Area. The Ottawa Stewardship Council submitted this naming application and has been working to develop a community environmental stewardship project for the City owned forest located to the west of Sacred Heart High school and east of Caribou Street. This grove is comprised of 8.9 hectares of over 100 year cedar forest. The purpose of this project is to restore and provide sustainable care for this natural space. There are some existing informal trails and this project will enhance these trails with formal entrances and interpretative signage will be placed throughout the area. This project is in conjunction with the City of Ottawa and Stittsville Village Association and it will also engage Sacred Heart High School in ongoing ecological monitoring of the site. This project is ongoing and is anticipated to be should be completed this year. Ticks and Lyme Disease Lyme disease is an infection caused by a bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. In Ontario, Lyme disease is spread by the bite of a black-legged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. Most humans are infected through the bite of an immature tick called a nymph. Nymphs are tiny (less than 2 mm) and difficult to see; they feed during the spring and summer months. Adult ticks are much larger and are more likely to be discovered and removed before they have had time to transmit the bacteria. Adult blacklegged ticks are most active during late summer and fall. At my park party, Ottawa Public Health staff was present to hand out information pamphlets and tick removers. Should you need a tick remover, I do have some at my Ward office. Please contact my office to pick one up. For more important information on ticks and lyme disease, I highly recommend reading the following page: http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/public-health/disease-and-medical-conditions/ lyme-disease OC Transpo makes major service adjustments June 28th On Sunday, June 28th, new OC Transpo summer schedules begin, along with route improvements and adjustments to routes travelling along a section of the Transitway, which will close between Blair and Hurdman Stations for construction of the O-Train Confederation Line. Summer service improvements Two new routes – 162 and 165 – will provide local service in Stittsville and parts of Kanata North respectively for improved connections. Route 161 has been extended to service the Fernbank shopping centre, and will reduce walking distances to it. Route 96A will be renumbered to Route 92 to help serve the community of Stittsville and the Tanger Outlets better. For more information visit octranspo.com Route 162 service will operate every 60 minutes during the following time periods: • Monday to Friday during the hours of: 1:00pm to 3:00pm and 7:00pm to 11:00pm • Saturday during the hours of 8:00am to 10:00pm • Sunday – no Route 162 service Special summer weekend service • Service to local museums and beaches will operate on weekends and holidays throughout the summer until September 7. • Route 129 will serve the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and Route 185 will operate to the Agriculture Museum and Experimental Farm. Route 198, which started June 20, will serve Petrie Island. Summer schedules • New schedules will reflect the lower demand for service during the summer vacation period. • School routes will be suspended until the fall, and there will be minor schedule reductions on mainline and peak period routes. • New schedules are available at OC Transpo Sales Centres, by calling 613-741-4390, and at octranspo.com. Light rail construction is shifting east this summer When the Transitway road section closes June 28, bus routes will be adjusted between Blair and Campus Stations. Cyrville Station will be closed, and some routes will no longer stop at Lees, Hurdman, Train or StLaurent Stations. These adjustments will evolve as more sections of the Transitway are closed over the next three years, until the O-Train Confederation Line opens in 2018. Most bus routes that use this section of the Transitway will travel on Highway 417 and Road 174 to benefit from new bus-only lanes and other improvements, and to provide the quickest trip to and from downtown. Travel time will, however, increase on certain trips, and some riders will need to make an additional transfer. The following mitigation efforts have been set in place: • New bus-only lanes, built on portions of Road 174 and Highway 417, will be used by eastend routes to help speed up service. • Some routes will bypass stations to avoid delays. • Two new bus routes will be added to improve transportation options for east-end transit customers – Route 91 will supplement Route 95 between Trim and Baseline Stations from Monday to Friday, providing a faster trip downtown, and Route 92 will replace Route 96A. • Bus routes and transfer options have been carefully planned to minimize inconvenience to customers. • Service will be monitored closely and adjusted if possible. Construction of new light-rail stations at Blair, Cyrville, St-Laurent and Train will affect customers as follows: • Blair Station will move to a temporary location near Blair Road. The retail store will close, but the pedestrian access to Telesat and Pineview will be maintained. • Cyrville Station will close for three years, but service will operate nearby on Cyrville Road. • Service at St-Laurent Station will move to the upper level platform and a new ramp will connect with Highway 417 westbound. Some routes will bypass St-Laurent Station eastbound. • Train Station will be relocated onto the VIA Rail Ottawa Station ring road. The stop will be served by Routes 92 and 96 only. The next service change will occur on September 6. For automated bus arrival information, customers can call 613-560-1000, or text 560560, plus their four-digit bus stop number.

Follow green arrows to strawberries at St. Andrew’s supper

The basement area of the new addition was also used for this year’s community strawberry supper, with additional tables with red tablecloths set up there, increasing the seating capacity for the event by about 40 seats. There were three sittings for this community strawberry supper – at 4 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Red balloons (so very appropriate for a strawberry-themed event) fluttered in the wind beside the entrance doors, a welcoming touch for those attending the event. Sunny, warm weather prevailed for this year’s community strawberry supper. The new addition and renovations at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, which took a year to do, are now completed except for some possible changes in the expanded kitchen. It was decided to use the expanded kitchen area a couple of times before the new cabinets and other improvements would be made to ensure that the best arrangement is implemented.

Green arrows on the floor showed the way for those attending the annual community strawberry supper at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville on Wednesday, June 24. The arrows were put in place to help direct people at the event because this was the first year that the annual event was held at the recently expanded church. Entry now was through the main entrance doors in the church’s new addition. At these doors, they were greeted by the church’s minister Rev. Doug Kendall. Tickets could be picked up or purchased in the new addition’s foyer area, after which people made their way to the food by following the green arrows which directed them through the basement area of the new John Curry/Metroland addition to the old church basement Ready to serve lots of delicious red strawberries to those attending the community strawberry supper at St. hall area where the food was availAndrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville on Wednesday, June 24 are Dawna Selby, left, and Carol LeBlanc, able, including lots and lots of delicious red strawberries – yummy! right.

Lansdowne in the Summer By Jim Watson

Despite what some may say about how much fun there is to be had in Ottawa, I am continually amazed at how many exciting opportunities take place daily, in our city. Each spring, I am impressed and proud to see the multitude of cultures, people and organizations that welcome the public into their respective communities. This past month, Ottawa made history as a host city to the largest single sport event in Canada’s history, the FIFA Women’s World Cup. As one of the largest sporting events in the world, all eyes descended on Ottawa as we welcomed the best female soccer players from around the world. Eager to showcase the newly rejuvenated Lansdowne Park to residents, and the world, the City has worked hard to ensure all features of the project are completed and free to enjoy for the summer. Before the rejuvenation project began, Lansdowne Park consisted of almost 30 acres of asphalt and approximately 230 trees. Compare this to the current 1.8 acres of asphalt and 850 trees; you will see how truly significant this has impacted Lansdowne and its neighboring communities. By transforming Lansdowne Park from an asphalt tarmac into a green park space, it has become a true gathering place, as was originally intended in the 1800s.

Goulbourn Skating Club is one of the largest Special to the News

John Brummell/Metroland

Goulbourn Skating Club skater Marina Peters holds the trophy which she received for being the Most Improved Skater in the Club’s Primary program.

The Goulbourn Skating Club is one of the largest skating clubs in the city of Ottawa. In actual fact, it is the fourth largest, with just under 600 Skate Canada registered members. This number has remained fairly consistent in recent years. In the just completed 2014-2015 season, the Goulbourn Skating Club saw an increase in numbers in its Canskate program where stronger Spring Canskate numbers and the national rollout of the New Canskate program helping to bring up the numbers. The Club’s Canpower program saw a decrease in participation levels from players of local hockey associations. However, the West Ottawa Ringette Association remains a solid client, providing numbers that has helped to stabilize the program. The Club’s Starskate program continues to

have consistent numbers and is even showing slight growth due to more youth involved with the club. The Club’s Adult Canskate program had from six to eight skaters in the 2014-2015 season, far below the year 2010 and 2011 levels when the program attracted over 20 skaters. The Club’s Special Olympics program again had over 20 skaters involved of varying ages and abilities. The Starlight Beginner Synchro team program proved successful in 2013, leading to increased interest and the addition of a second team under the elementary category in the 2014-2015 season. These teams comprise skaters not only from the Goulbourn Skating Club but also from neighbouring clubs. The Goulbourn Skating Club will be doing a comprehensive review of its programs over the summer. Off ice training opportunities for Starskate/Competitive skaters will be reviewed as such opportunities have not been offered in the past two seasons. A new Junior Circuits program was introduced last spring as a pilot

program to coincide with the Club’s Primary Circuits program. There is a possibility that the pilot program will become a regular program in the coming season. The Club’s Canpower program will be reviewed to determine if there are opportunities for expansion and improvements. Again this summer, summer programming is being offered at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in July and August, namely at the Starskate/Competitive program level. In the 2014-2015 season, the Goulbourn Skating Club had skaters compete at the local, provincial and national levels. Within the community, Goulbourn Skating Club skaters provided on-ice instruction and demonstrations at the Fairwinds Community Association’s Family Fun Day last February. The Club also participated in the annual Richmond Fair parade last September. The Goulbourn Skating Club did not have an ice show in the 20142015 season as such a show is only held every two years. The coming season, 2015-2016, will be an ice

show year. The Goulbourn Skating Club is facing a two percent increase in ice fees for the 2015-2016 season. This increase follows a three year freeze in ice rental fees. One highlight of the 2014-2015 season was a skater development session in February involving Primary and StarSkate program skaters. This was an on-ice seminar with mark Stanford, a former U.S. competitive skater in ice dance and pairs. There also was an off-ice hip hop class with Hasham “Sham� Ibrahim. Another highlight was the Club’s Showcase/Competition Simulation Event which was held in December, giving Primary and StarSkate program skaters an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and solo routines for their families and friends. The skaters received an evaluation of their performances from judges and coaches. The Club also held Canskate funthemed days throughout the season such as Halloween, Skate with Santa, Pyjama Day, Jersey Day, Valentines Day and Bring A Friend Day.

The Goulbourn Skating Club offered a Starlight Synchronized Skating program in the 2014-2015 season. The Club hosted the Beginner II team as well as an Elementary team. The March-Kanata Skating Club hosted an Elementary team as well as a Pre-Novice team. Synchronized skating allows skat-

ers to compete as part of a team. The Beginner II team hosted by the Goulbourn Skating Club consisted of 12 skaters ranging from 7 to 11 years of age, skating at the junior level. Ten of the skaters were from the Goulbourn Skating Club while there were one skater each from the West Carleton Club and one from the March-Kanata Club.

aged by Melanie Henderson. The Elementary team hosted by the Goulbourn Skating Club consisted of 14 skaters ranging in age from 9 to 13 years, skating at the junior to intermediate level. Ten of the skaters were from the Goulbourn Skating Club while there were three from the Rideau Skating Club and one from the March-Kanata Skating Club. The team was coached by Caroline Cote and managed by Melanie Henderson. The teams participated in the Synchro Showcase in Orleans in December and then competed in the Carole Pageau Synchro competition in Laval, Quebec in January. The teams participated in the Synchro Capers competition in Oakville at the end of January and then ended their competitive season with the Eastern Ontario SynchroSkate competition in Kanata in March.

‘Snip to Whip Cancer’ fundraiser at Scissors John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A “Snip to Whip Cancer” fundraiser is happening at the Scissors Hair Salon on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville on Saturday, July 11. That’s when 19 year old Lane Bourbonniere, who is battling cancer, and as support team will be having eight to ten inches of their hair cut off to donate to make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer. There will also be a raffle table, a bake sale and a donation table set up at the event as Lane and friends and supporters try to raise as much money as possible to donate to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and Childhood Cancer Canada. Anyone interested is urged to show up for the fundraiser and purchase items or make a donation – it’s all going to the greatest of causes, namely battling childhood cancers. It’s a very person battle for Lane Bourbonniere who has paired up with St. Baldrick’s Foundation and Childhood Cancer Canada, along with the support of Scissors Hair Salon, to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. Lane was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 12 and now, seven years later is still battling the disease. Lane was first diagnosed at the beginning of grade seven and had surgeries to remove tumours as well as underwent a round of radioactive iodine treatment. But, at the end of the year, Lane went into remission. Five years later, just before graduating from high school, the cancer returned and Lane had to fight for life once again, undergoing more radioactive treatments which did shrink the tumour but did not defeat it. More scans and treatment are in the works.

So, in the past seven years, Lane has gone through two extensive surgeries, more than six radioactive iodine treatments, more than eight CT and MRI scans and countless medical appointments. Through it all, Lane has had a supportive group of family and friends. Lane’s goal is to raise at least $5,000 to help combat childhood cancers and try to prevent other children from going through what she has gone through in her youth. Lane has set up a website at www.stbaldricks.org/teams/s2we where her team, “Snip to Whip Cancer” is receiving donations from the public. St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a childhood cancer charity founded in the year 2000 that funds research to help find cures for childhood cancers. The Foundation’s main fundraising initiative is head-shaving events. A non-profit organization, St. Baldrick’s Foundation research grants are helping to fill crucial funding gaps at medical institutions where children are treated for cancer. It was back in 1999 that three Irish-American re-insurance executives from New York City decided to turn their St. Patrick’s Day party into a benefit for pediatric oncology research by shaving their heads, thereby showing solidarity with children undergoing chemotherapy treatments. The Foundation’s name is a combination of the words Bald and Patrick since they went bald on St. Patrick’s Day. Hence the name St. Baldrick’s. It is not associated with any saint of the Catholic Church. Childhood Cancer Canada, founded in 1987, is a leading Foundation dedicated entirely to the fight against childhood cancer. Childhood Cancer Cancer offers support programs and also invests in collaborative cancer research.

34 Stittsville News - Thursday, July 2, 2015

Proceeds from an annual charity golf tournament in late August are going to be donated to Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million.” This is the 12th year that Dunrobin Meat & Grocery has hosted an annual charity golf tournament. The tournament will be held on Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Irish Hills Golf and Country

Club on Carp Road between Stittsville and Carp. Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville, who is 14 years old, has been raising funds for MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario with the goal of raising one million dollars over a five year period. This will be enough to fund the granting of 100 wishes for children facing life-threatening illnesses. Tysen himself suffers from

Pfeiffer Syndrome which is a rare genetic disorder affecting bone growth. In 2012, Tysen had his own wish granted which was to meet his favourite actor Adam Sandler. As a result of this experience, he wanted to ensure that other children also got their wishes granted and so he launched his “Mission To A Million” with its million dollar goal.

City council approves name ‘Kemp Woodland’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s official now. The 8.9 hectare cedar forest area on the south side of the Trans Canada Trail immediately west of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville is now officially known as the “Kemp Woodland.” This name for the old growth cedar forest area has been approved by Ottawa city council following the submission of the name by the Ottawa Stewardship Council which has been involved with developing a community environmental st4ewardship project for the city owned forest. The name “Kemp” commemorates John Kemp, a Stittsville entrepreneur who once used this forested area as a

woodlot. He supplied wood to the railway in its early days in the area in the 1870’s and 1880’s. Besides being a contractor to the railway, John Kemp was the owner of the stone building on Hazeldean Road which now houses Cabotto’s Restaurant and was built in 1868. John Kemp was also a Goulbourn township politician, having served as township reeve from 1887 to 1894. Thanks to the initiative of the Ottawa

Stewardship Council, this old growth cedar forest is being enhanced with new plantings and some interpretative signs about its environmental significance will be erected. Waste Management has provided a $25,000 donation to assist with the project. The funds came from a community fund set up by Waste Management from some revenues generated by Waste Management’s former Carp Road landfill. The community funds generated can be accessed for community projects in the four municipal wards

closest to the landfill site including the Stittsville ward. The idea is to keep this area in as natural a state as possible, preserving the 100 to 150 year old cedar trees that can be found there. Students from the adjacent Sacred Heart Catholic High School are going to be involved in monitoring the forest in partnership with the city of Ottawa. The Ottawa Field Naturalist Club and the Stittsville Village Association are other organizations involved with the project.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I own a small events and promotions business. Every so often I get emails from students asking if they could volunteer to learn about the business. I’ve never hired a student because they’re inexperienced but I’m considering hiring one as an intern this summer. I don’t have the budget for a full time employee but I would be willing to pay them a modest stipend. I’ve heard both paid and unpaid internships are illegal in Ontario. Is this true?

John Brummell/Metroland

Ellen Johnston holds the certificate of merit which she received at the Stittsville Legion’s recent annual honours and awards night.

In Ontario, the rules around internships are strict and in recent years some employers have been required to change their internship programs as a result. If someone is receiving on the job training from a business they are considered to be an employee of the business under Ontario law. As an employee they are entitled to a minimum wage under the Employment Standards Act so paying them a stipend that does not meet the minimum wage is against the law.

John Brummell/Metroland

Carrie Barnett holds the certificate of merit which she received at the Stittsville Legion’s recent annual honours and awards night.

There are two exceptions to this general rule which recognize the educational value of internships. The first is internship programs approved by a college or university which are permitted.

About William Parker

Bill Parker provides civil litigation and employment law advice to individuals, small businesses, and non-profits. Bill’s employment practice includes advising both employees and employers on contracts, disability insurance policies, and employment standards legislation. Bill’s litigation practice includes work on breach of contract, construction, and shareholder disputes. Bill was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2009.

The second exception is internships that meet criteria set by the Ministry of Labour. These requirements include that the intern is receiving valuable training, is not taking someone else’s job, and has not been promised a job after their training. The most important feature is the educational component: the primary purpose of internships is to teach valuable skills, not to provide cheap labour to businesses. The safest way to ensure compliance with the law is to have an internship approved as part of a college or university program. Alternatively, you should design the internship ahead of time to focus it around training and skills development.

Class of 2015 at Munster Elementary School Special to the News

Seven students marched not only off to middle school but also into history at the leaving ceremony at Munster Elementary School on Wednesday afternoon, June 24. The seven have not only completed their elementary school education at the Munster school and are moving on to grade six at either Goulbourn Middle School or A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School but also are the last grade five students to officially

“leave” Munster Elementary School, at least for a while, as all students at the school have been re-directed to attend other schools starting this fall. The future of Munster Elementary School as a school in the future remains uncertain. But what is certain is that this year’s Class of 2015 at Munster Elementary School is an impressive group of seven students. You only had to hear the student introductions of a fellow student at the presentation of

the leaving certificates or to hear the remarks of their teacher Ms. Hallard to realize that this was an awesome, albeit small, group of students. At the presentation of leaving certificates, each student introduced a fellow student as the student received his or her certificate. And what introductions! Each student was introduced for what they are best known for being (e.g. awesome student, good skipper, horse crazy, a good cook, etc.), for what

they want to be when they grow up (e.g. veterinarian, veterinarian, fashionista, horse whisperer, police officer, biologist and chef), for what they are looking forward to at their new school in the fall and for what they want to be remembered as at Munster Elementary School (e.g. a good friend, a bubbly student, someone who is different). The seven students who received their grade five leaving certificates are Nolan Bell, Caleb Brydges, Em-

ily Fisher, Taylor Hobbs, Brena Irvine, Felecite McDonald and Zoe Richardson. And their teacher Ms. Hallard, in her remarks at the ceremony, praised the humanity and maturity of these seven students, calling them a “respectful and caring group who look for ways both large and small to make a positive imprint on the world around them.” See AWARDS PRESENTED, page 39

Awards presented at grade five leaving ceremony Continued from page 37

“The grade 5’s this year are leaders, artists, activists, they’re family oriented, community oriented and a gift to anyone who is lucky enough to learn with and from them,� Ms. Hallard said. She noted that the seven students share their time and passions and offer help and support one another. She praised them for trying to support others in the local community and in the world at large. And she did not forget the role of their parents, saying “Thank you, parents, for sharing your beautiful children with me, the children whom you have lovingly brought into this world and with great faith allowed me, in a small part,

to help shape.� A number of awards recognizing individual student achievement and accomplishments were presented at this grade five leaving ceremony. The Overall Academic Excellence Award was presented to Nolan Bell. This award honours a student who has shown strength in overall academics, always presenting and sharing the best work with teachers and other students. The Most Improved Student Award was presented to Caleb Brydges. This award goes to a student who may face challenges in learning but by using the resources around him or her creates opportunities for learning and understanding. The Athletics Award is presented to a student

who always gives it all when participating in athletics. The recipient of this award was Brena Irvine. The Ruffus Award was presented to Felecite McDonald. This award goes to a student who follows the example of Ruffus, caring for younger children, being kind and considerate and helping others in their learning. The Ruffus Award is named after the school’s raccoon mascot. The Visual Arts Award is presented to a student who has a strong understanding of art and knows how to engage others in visual media. Taylor Hobbs received this award. The Penmanship Award was presented to Emily Fisher. This award recognizes a student who has embraced penmanship and has made it not only a strength but also a beautiful act of writing. The Kiwanis Citizenship Award is presented

to a student who exemplifies the qualities of good citizenship, being an outstanding school citizen as well as a leader in social justice and an advocate for others. Former Munster resident and former long time Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn member Gary Belding was on hand to present this Kiwanis Citizenship Award to recipient Zoe Richardson. Zoe Richardson also received the Principal’s Award for Student Leadership which was presented to her by school principal Mrs. R. Shields. It was Zoe Richardson who spoke on behalf of the class at the ceremony, serving as it were as the class valedictorian. A slide show featuring the activities of the grade five students during the past school year was shown before refreshments in the form of punch and cake were served following the conclusion of the ceremony.

Proposed wildlife protocol will guide, not dictate Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

When an unlucky deer crashed through a living room window in Kanata recently, there’s a good chance it had been pushed out of its home by housing construction nearby. That’s according to Donna DuBreuil, director of the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre, and it’s all the more reason the city should be looking to strengthen its wildlife construction protocol, not gut it, she said. The city has revised its draft protocol to create a set of best practices instead of enforceable rules, following an outcry from the homebuilding industry that the guidelines would be too onerous to implement. “A lot of people were reading into it these were going to be new regulations, new requirements,” said John Smit, the city’s policy development and urban design manager. “So we pulled it back down, took a closer look at the way it was drafted and actually brought into the guidelines what it

was originally intended to do, which was really a framework reference.” He said it was more of a semantics problem – the protocol was always intended to offer guidelines rather than some sort of quasi-bylaw – and its language simply came off too strong. “The terminology that was being used, the way it was being presented, was not reflective of what was intended,” he said. Already, the original draft released in January was far from a set of hard and fast rules. Site clearing timelines to avoid breeding and migration seasons were presented as guidelines, for example, and a whole host of harm reduction measures were available to choose from if the developer couldn’t get its work done in the recommended window. Still, local wildlife and environmental groups were generally pleased with the first draft, which broadened habitat and breeding season definitions and expanded the kinds of legwork developers would

be expected to do before they could start clearing sites for construction. But the new draft’s wording has softened from “will” to “may” in most cases. Where the protocol originally said it “will apply to all plans of subdivision, plans of condominium, and site control plans for properties” located close to wildlife habitat, the new version simply states “this protocol may be used to guide wildlife protection planning,” according to a document dated May 2015 published on the Greenspace Alliance website. And the requirement to provide a wildlife mitigation plan as a standard condition of approval has disappeared altogether. The original draft said a mitigation plan “shall be required” to demonstrate how a project will implement the protocol’s standards – and that the mitigation activities “must meet or exceed the standard of protection established in this protocol.” It could be completed at the later stages of the planning process, but it had to

be done before approval could be granted. The new draft now says a “project-specific wildlife protocol may be needed,” and that it should be developed “close to or following approval of the project.” In the new draft, it is no longer required in order to get project approval. The city has also pulled back on the use of trained biologists to assess sites prior to clearing; where developers would have had to hire someone under the original protocol, now it’s presented as a recommendation. The changes grew from concern from members of the housing industry, who felt

they hadn’t been adequately consulted on the matter – and as a result the protocol was going to put an onerous amount of new requirements on them to get approval from the city. “City staff didn’t have the benefit of industry advising them of what was manageable and achievable and what wasn’t,” said John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association, in March. DuBreuil said she’s concerned the new draft won’t have enough teeth to actually protect wildlife, especially if the best practices aren’t actively pushed by city staff. “‘Best practices’ is a convenient term these days, but

unless you can show examples of how it will be implemented it’s just empty rhetoric,” she said. Of course, the revised draft is just that, and DuBreuil hopes city staff will make sure the final document is strong enough to enact real change – and to avoid more deer landing in living rooms in the future. “Where do you think these animals go? They’re not going to be airlifted by helicopter,” she said. “They move on to people’s backyards, and that’s where the conflict comes in. It’s homeowners who are paying the cost.” The protocol is now scheduled to come to planning committee in the fall.

44 Stittsville News - Thursday, July 2, 2015

First it was mould and then rust that caused a 22 month closure of the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville. Now, the long wait for the re-opening of the pool is over as the pool will be officially reopened this coming Saturday afternoon, July 4. The pool has been closed since August 2013, first because of needed building renewal, then because of the discovery of mould and then because of the discovery of rust and structural steel deterioration. Issues regarding the condition of the pool facility date back to 2004 when deterioration to the stone veneer of the pool’s exterior wall resulted in the identification of renewal needs for the facility. Further investigation at that time led to a detailed program of remediation work that started in 2005. The city of Ottawa did initiate legal action against the original contractor of the facility as well as the architect of record, resulting in additional work by the contractor at no cost to the city as well as some compensation awarded to the city in 2007. All of the issues involve work done in the first phase of construction of the GRC in the year 2000 under the auspices of the former township of Goulbourn. The other two phases of construction of the facility have not resulted in any similar issues. The second phase of construction involving a gymnasium, fitness studio and meeting rooms was undertaken by the city of Ottawa in 2008 while the third phase of construction of the complex was the addition of a second ice pad by the city of Ottawa in 2010. As part of its regular inspection process, the city’s Infrastructure Services Department initiated a structural adequacy review of the GRC in July 2010. This inspection identified evidence of corrosion in the structural steel components of both the pool and the arena which were built in the first phase of the project. In 2012, the city’s Public Works Building Operations staff raised concerns about the facility including leakage from the “lantern” which was an elevated roof structure surrounded by windows above the pool. Identified concerns revolved around the venting/air circulation, moisture and an overall lack of air tightness in the building envelope. A detailed thermographic infrared imagery wall survey by the IRC Building Sciences Group was undertaken to identify areas where heat loss and thermal bridging were happening. A detailed review of the mechanical system that services the indoor pool enclosure was also undertaken. This review concluded that the condensation issues within the building were due to defects in the building envelope and that these defects had to be rectified before making changes to the mechanical (HVAC) system. A renewal project was approved in the city’s 2013 budget and remediation work was started during the pool’s scheduled shutdown period

between Aug. 26 and Oct. 6, 2013. But while undertaking this work, mould was discovered throughout the ceiling which led to an increased scope of work and a revised completion date of Dec. 2013. This completion date was subsequently extended to June 2014 because additional mould was discovered in the walls surrounding the pool. As this remediation work progressed and all of the interior finishes were removed within the pool area, significant rust to the building envelope’s steel structure in the ceiling and walls was revealed. Further investigations including a steel composition analysis confirmed that the structural steel had deteriorated. In Feb. 2014, it was announced that the pool would remain closed for an unspecified time. It was determined that extensive renovation work would need to be done. The discovery of rust in the columns of the pool building envelope seriously compromised the structural integrity of the facility’s wall system. Replacement of the steel structure was the only viable solution to the situation. The cost was estimated at four million dollars. The building’s perimeter walls had to be demolished to allow access to the columns so that they could be replaced. The larger interior round structural steel columns that supported the pool’s roof, however, did not have corrosion issues. A detailed investigation included a review of the structural adequacy of all components of the structure’s design including the high roof “lantern” area where some of the initial problems had been observed. A computer simulation of the snow loading due to drifting indicated that the steel trusses in this area had not been designed to take into account the additional snow loading on the structure that could be caused by drifting snow. The solution was either to augment the existing steel trusses of the “lantern” area to address the snow loading issue or to remove the “lantern” feature to eliminate any snow drifting. It was decided to remove the “lantern” feature. The building envelope surrounding the pool has had to be redesigned to provide a more durable, simplistic building envelope solution that provided for economical construction while being aware of the environmental complexities related to an indoor pool environment. The city of Ottawa retained a building envelope specialist to confirm the effectiveness of the pool’s new building envelope as proposed. This was in addition to the standard architectural oversight provided by both a consultant and the city’s staff. All possible work regarding roof remediation, mould abatement and mechanical work including a de-humidifier has been done during the pool’s shutdown. Work undertaken to address the rust issues at the GRC pool have included new steel columns on the warm side of the wall complete with epoxy paint finish. See POOL, page 45

Re-opening of GRC pool Following the official re-opening ceremony at 12:30 p.m., there will be free public swimming along with live music from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and again from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. In addition, there will be a number of fun activities available such as a dunk tank, carnival games and bouncy castles. There will be face painting and clowns and balloon animal creators will be on the premises. Everyone in the community is urged to attend this re-opening celebration at the GRC pool and get a first hand look at the renovated pool facility.

Special to the News

The pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville is re-opening. It’s happening this coming Saturday, July 4 with a celebration being held to officially unveil the revamped pool. At 12:30 p.m., things will get underway as city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson will be on hand, along with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and GRC staff to officially re-open the pool which has been closed since August 2013, first because of mould and then due to rust and structural problems.

GARLIC SHRIMP

Pool receives major repairs Continued from page 44

The columns were raised off the pool deck in order to avoid any impact from water on the deck. The work also include reinforcing the foundation bases for the round steel columns supporting the roof and installation of a new thermally broken triple glazed “curtain wall” system. The upper “lantern” roof feature has been removed and has been replaced with new steel decking and roofing. Rusting doors and frames have been replaced and a new interior mechanical air distribution system has been installed. New interior finishes have been put in place as well. It was in June, 2014 that the city of Ottawa approved the four million dollars in funds needed to make these major, unexpected repairs to the GRC’s pool facility. City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said at that

time that the problems with the structure dated to the very beginning when the facility was constructed. “There were problems with the design or construction of this building, or both,” he said, referring to the first phase of the GRC which the township of Goulbourn built and opened in the year 2000. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson also commented on the problems, saying that it was his understanding that the former Goulbourn township council was keen to rush the pool’s completion before the former municipalities amalgamated into the new city of Ottawa in 2001. “This was a project that Goulbourn council very much wanted to see before amalgamation and it was pushed ahead,” mayor Watson said. “Obviously there have been a series of problems with that particular project that have not met our espectations.”

Asian butterflied pork Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Butterflying (or flattening) pork tenderloins allows them to cook faster. Serve with quinoa or rice. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Marinating time: at least 30 minutes to four hours. Grilling time: about 30 minutes. Serves four to six. Ingredients * 2 pork tenderloins, trimmed * 50 ml (1/4 cup) each sodium-reduced soy sauce and honey * 25 ml (2 tbsp) Dijon mustard * 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh gingerroot * 2 cloves garlic, minced Bok Choy * 6 baby bok choy * 50 ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar * 45 ml (3 tbsp) vegetable oil * 15 ml (1 tbsp) sodium-reduced soy sauce * 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) granulated sugar * Freshly ground pepper Preparation Place the tenderloins on a cutting board, and slice lengthwise almost but not all the way through. Open the tenderloin like a book, pressing down to flatten, and place them in a large shallow dish.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, mustard, ginger and garlic, reserving 45 ml (3 tbsp) of marinade. Pour the remaining marinade over the pork and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or for up to four hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place on a greased grill over medium-high heat. Grill, covered, basting with the reserved marinade for 15 to 20 minutes, or until reaching an internal temperature of 71 C (160 F). Remove to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Bok choy: Cut the bok choy lengthwise, and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Drain and pat dry. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, soy sauce, sugar and pepper to taste. Just before grilling, toss the bok choy with dressing and remove, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place the bok choy cut side down over medium-low heat. Grill for eight to10 minutes or until tendercrisp, turning once. Return to dressing in bowl and toss to coat. Thinly slice the pork diagonally and serve with the grilled bok choy.

50th wedding anniversary Special to the News

It was celebration time for the 50th wedding anniversary of Drs. Rod and Lucy Rabb of Richmond last Friday, June 26. An open house and tea to mark the occasion was held at St. Philip’s Parish Hall at the corner of Fortune Street and Burke Street in Richmond, with Rod and Lucy on hand to greet the many who dropped by to offer their congratulations and best wishes. A display of photographs including wedding day photos from 1965 were on display at the entrance to the hall, as was a book for guests to sign. An elaborately decorated 50th wedding anniversary cake sat on a table in the middle of the hall, surrounded the over a dozen round tables

featuring square blue tablecloths. Over the years, Drs. Rod and Lucy have contributed much to the Richmond and area community, not only through their medical practice and the Goulbourn Medical Centre but also through community involvement. In 2009, Dr. Rod Rabb was honoured by the Richmond Firefighters on his retirement as a volunteer firefighter in the community after 39 years of active duty from 1971 to 2009. He was presented with his firefighter’s helmet as well as a commemorative plaque. Dr. Lucy Rabb served as the coroner for the area for a number of years. She was also instrumental in the creation and work of the Richmond

Refugee Relief Fund in the late 1970’s. At the opening of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch at the Richmond Plaza in Aug. 1979, the ribbon that was cut to mark the opening was comprised of 100 one-dollar bills, half of which were donated by Dr. Lucy and the other half by the bank. Following the ribbon cutting, the money was all donated to the Richmond Refugee Relief Fund. Both Dr. Lucy and Dr. Rod have been active in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond. Dr. Rod was ordained as an elder back in 1978. Dr. Lucy has served on the church’s finance and maintenance committee.

CSMA Academy raises $5,380 for breast cancer John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

At the Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy (CSMA Academy) in Stittsville, students learn about the martial arts and how to get in shape in a fun and upbeat way and also acquire disciplines such as respect, focus and concentration in the karate program. CSMA athletes can range in age from 3 to 93 and include anyone from those who want to become more active to those who are highly competitive. But CSMA Academy athletes are also caring and giving members of society as evidenced by the Academy’s recent fundraiser which raised $5,380.75 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The CSMA Academy regularly hosts two or three in-house tournaments a year. This year it was decided to convert one of these in-house tournaments to a fundraiser and this is what happened on the weekend of June 12-14 at the Academy’s Iber Road facility. It was decided that this fundraiser would be in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation as one Academy member has had a parent suffering from breast cancer while others certainly have had their lives touched by breast cancer in one way or another. Pledge sheets were prepared and all of the CSMA students got involved. There was a minimum $40 entry fee that had to be raised to participate in the in-house tournament but many students went “above and beyond� this minimum amount, notes CSMA Academy co-owner Imran Jaffer, pointing out that a couple of the students raised over $500 each. He said that some of the students went doorto-door in their neighbourhoods, wearing their full karate clothing. At the door, they would bow and introduce themselves and explain about the fundraiser, hoping to get a pledge. The CSMA Academy had set a goal of $3,000 for the fundraiser, a goal that was felt to be achievable in this first-ever fundraising effort. But, as Imran Jaffer points out, the CSMA Academy students “knocked it out of the park� regarding this fundraiser, in the end raising $5,380.75. The CSMA Academy’s kickboxing program students were involved in the fundraiser as well, with a $10 minimum donation put in place for them. There was also a silent auction held in association with this fundraiser, with various businesses

The sale of t-shirts also helped with the fundraising. All CSMA Academy members got involved in one way or another. There were baked goodies sold at the event and some helped with a BBQ which was held on the Saturday, helping to boost the revenue of the fundraiser. In the end, it turned out to be a fundraising effort that involved the whole CSMA Academy community including students, staff and supporters and the final amount raised of $5,380.75 shows just how widespread the effort was. The success of this fundraiser has encouraged the CSMA Academy to do it again next year but to make it even bigger, perhaps by inviting other martial arts schools to participate. The beneficiary of next year’s fundraiser

Seventeen year old Harry Steenbakkers of Stittsville will be driving this No. 78 Mark Harry Steenbakkers, left, is with his father Marc Motors Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car in this weekend’s Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Steenbakkers, right, Cup Challenge Canada by Michelin (Rounds 5 and 6) at the Calabogie Motorsports Park. in the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada series for a team like Mark Motors Racing as he is a regional racer in Ontario and Quebec. But he soon realized that it was his son Harry who was the fastest driver in the family. “The reality is that if I was faster than him, I’d probably be in the car,” Marc says. “But I’m not. That torch passed when he was about 13 and a half.” “I watch him progress and get better, and his progression is fun to watch,” Marc says about Harry. “It really is.” He recalls Harry’s beginner times as a racer, saying that Harry started racing as soon as he was big enough to reach the vehicle’s pedals. “We used to put him in fourth gear because he couldn’t really shift yet, and we sent him out with a radio and he’d go until he ran out of gas,” Marc remembers. And even though Harry will be driving on his home track this weekend where he will be more familiar with the lines and will probably be able to drive even faster than usual, he is trying to keep a level head and sensible approach about racing at the Calabogie track. Indeed, he knows it well as he has worked there since he was 13 years old, doing jobs such as changing fluids in track cars, rotating and balancing tires and performing janitorial duties. And although he realizes that many people will be watching him in particular this weekend, he is not worried. “I’ve been finding you can’t really overdrive these cars, so the more relaxed you are, the better,” Harry says. “So the home track should be more relaxed.” Dad Marc also says that he should have no extra nerves watching his son compete in this marquee race at the Calabogie track this weekend, saying that his overwhelming emotion will not be pride as a father. “It’s great,” Marc says. “That’s why we’re doing this, and we want to do it. It keeps the wind behind his sails. It’s good fun. It’s a good education for him. We’re surrounded by a great bunch of people and we’re having a good time doing it.”

Practice and qualifying take place this Saturday, July 4. Round 5 of the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Michelin series will begin at 9:35 a.m. this Sunday, July 5, with Round 6 starting at 2:20 p.m. Both races last for 45 minutes. For live updates on the action on the track, follow @IMSALive on Twitter. The Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Michelin is in its fifth season this year, providing competition for semi-professional and aspiring professional drivers of the world’s most iconic race car, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. The International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) sanctioned championship series is one of 20 global Porsche single-make Cup Racing series and is a platform which allows aspiring drivers to move towards the highest levels of GT competition such as the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. Porsche racing is divided into two classes. Platinum Cup features the 2014 and 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car which is based on the seventh and current generation of the Porsche street car. Gold Cup features the model years 2010 to 2013 of the race car. A Masters Championship is also conducted in the Platinum class. Each class is awarded with its own podium at the end of every race and each class has its own individual champion at the end of the season. Points are awarded by finish in class. The International motor Sports Association (IMSA) has a long history in sports car racing, being originally founded in 1969. Today IMSA is the sanctioning body of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship which is the premier sports car racing series in North America. IMSA also sanctions four single-make series including the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Michelin. IMSA is a company within the NASCAR Holdings group. It is the exclusive strategic partner in North America with the Automobile Club de L’Ouest which operates the 24 Hours of Le Mans as part of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

There’s no place like home. Or at least that’s what 17 year old Harry Steenbakkers of Stittsville hopes when he competes in Rounds five and six of the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Michelin this coming Saturday and Sunday, July 4 and 5, at the Calabogie Motorsports Park. Harry has been driving laps and racing at the Calabogie track since he was 11 years old, so it is very much the home track for the rookie driver in this racing series. His father, Marc Steenbakkers, is not only a racing participant himself but also is part of the ownership group for the Calabogie Motorsports Park. Harry’s insider knowledge of the Calabogie Motorsports Park track which is a 20 turn, 5.05 kilometer circuit should help his performance at this weekend’s event. And already this season, his first in this International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) sanctioned Single-Make Series, Harry has been having success driving the No. 78 Mark Motors Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car. He is currently tied for fourth in the Platinum Cup standings, with his best race finish so far being a fourth place. Harry has reached the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Micheline series after spending years behind the wheel or handlebars of a variety of racing machinery since he started racing snowmobiles as a boy. He started auto racing at the age of 11 when he began hot lapping at the Calabogie track. In 2013, Harry became the youngest participant in the Skip Barber IndyCar Academy Shootout, finishing second and earning a $15,000 scholarship. Last year, Harry gained experience participating in a variety of racing series including Trans-Am, the Canadian SuperCar Series, ChumpCar Enduros, Formula Libre and GT3 in the Regional Race circuit. He won the Canadian SuperCar Series event at Calabogie and also earned a national event win in the Skip Barber Summer Race Series at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. Mark Motors Racing, based in Ottawa, has a close affiliation with Calabogie Motorsports Park and its ownership group which includes Harry’s father, Marc. So, when a seat opened up this season on the Mark Motor team next to Platinum Masters champion Marco Cirone, the search for a driver ended up focusing on the quick tall teen, Harry Steenbakkers, and his impressive record. Harry got the call and the ride for the Mark Motors Racing team. It took just one test drive for the team for him to realize that this was the ideal next step in his budding racing career. “I could tell after the first time he drove it at Calabogie, his first test session, you could tell it was very different for him, but the grin on his face went from ear to ear,” says his father Marc. Marc, indeed, admits that there was a time when he himself aspired to compete

Stittsville 56ers rebound for 3-1 win after 7-0 loss to Kars Aces Jamieson who grew up in Stittsville and was one of the best pitchers ever developed in the community. But the Stittsville 56ers rebounded from this 7-0 loss with a 3-1 victory over Quyon on Thursday, June 25 at Quyon. The 56ers

opened the scoring with a run in the second inning. Trevor Scott had reached first base on an infield second and after a ground out, Darren Ladouceur and Tim Maisonneuve both drew walks to load the bases. Ryan Bond then slammed a

single to centre field with Trevor Scott scoring from third base but Darren ladouceur was thrown out at the plate, trying to score a second run. The game was tied 1-1 until the top of the fifth inning when Scott Jessiman slammed a two run home run to

Annual golf tournament, fundraiser Bell Warriors at Ottawa RedBlacks game for 872 Kiwanis-Kanata Air Cadets Special to the News

Special to the News

There will be four “courses” involved in the 872 Kiwanis-Kanata Royal Canadian Air Cadets fifth annual golf tournament and fundraiser being held on Wednesday, July 8. There is not only the golf course itself at the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club, scene of the tournament, but also the three courses of the sit-down dinner that will follow the golf. Those who golf will get to enjoy all four “courses” but non-golfers will still get to enjoy the threecourse dinner if they want to show their support for the 872 Kiwanis-Kanata Royal Canadian Air Cadets. This tournament and fundraiser is supported by the Air Force Officers Advisory Group. The tournament gets underway at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 8 with all proceeds going towards the support of the 872 Squadron. There is going to be a silent auction held during the dinner event with one showcase item being a pair of 100 level tickets for the Ottawa

Senators. The 872 Squadron has an annual fundraising goal of $40,000 with the proceeds from the annual golf tournament going towards meeting this goal. The funds raised go towards supporting the Squadron’s annual activities such as gliding, powered flight familiarization, parades and a rocketry program. The 872 Kiwanis Kanata Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a charitable organization that operates complete thanks to the support of the community and parent volunteers. The Squadron has more than 100 Air Cadets between the ages of 12 and 18 living in the Stittsville and Kanata areas. The Air Cadets participate in such annual events as the Kanata Remembrance Day ceremony and the Battle of Britain Service at the Canadian Aviation and space Museum. The 872 Squadron tries to help develop responsible and resourceful young adults who are involved in the community.

The Bell Warriors will be out in force to cheer on the Ottawa RedBlacks at their Canadian Football League game against the visiting Edmonton Eskimos on Friday, July 17. About 300 members of the Bell Warriors are expected to be at the game and will even have an opportunity to be on the field at TD Stadium at Lansdowne Park at half time of the game. The Bell Warriors have connections with

both teams as former Bell Warrior Kyle Norris is an Edmonton Eskimo while former Bell Warrior Justin Phillips plays for the Ottawa RedBlacks. The Bell Warriors Football Club offers football programs for boys and girls ages 8 to 19 from the communities of Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia. The Bell Warriors Football Club was founded in 1955.
