john.curry@metroland.com

An Air Cadet from Stittsville has been selected to lead 120 other Cadets from across Canada attending a summer course at the national Air Cadet training centre in North Bay. The selection of Patrick Philipson, 18, for the top Cadet leadership spot for this course came following a week of intensive leadership training involving senior Cadets involved with the course. These senior cadets assuming the leadership positions in the course including Patrick are all graduates themselves from the course. On Thursday, July 7, he was appointed Cadet Warrant Officer First Class (WO1), making him the highest ranking cadet in a leadership position at the Advanced Aviation Technology Course at the national Air Cadet summer training centre in North

Bay. As WO1 for the course, he will be working directly with the Commanding Officer Major Mike Anglin and with Master Warrant Officer Susan DesRoches to help train and supervise the 120 Cadets from all across Canada who will be receiving highly specialized training in the six-week Advanced Aviation Technology Course which began

last Monday, July 11. In congratulating Patrick on his appointment as the Cadet Squadron Warrant Officer for this Advanced Aviation Training Course, Commanding Officer Major Mike Anglin praised him for being selected as the course’s highest ranking cadet. “WO1 Philipson clearly distinguished himself during the recent selec-

tion process and I am confident that he will continue to build upon his significant home Squadron and Cadet Training Centre experiences to help lead his team towards the achievement of our goals for the summer,” Major Anglin said. See AT CADET, page 3

Air Cadet Patrick Philipson of Stittsville John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

This is proving to be quite a year for 18 year old Patrick Philipson of Stittsville. Not only has he been appointed as the highest ranking Cadet at the Advanced Aviation Technology Course at the national Air Cadet summer training centre in North Bay but also he is going through the selection process to join the

Canadian Armed Forces. A graduate of South Carleton High School in Richmond, he hopes to become an Air Force medic. In addition, Patrick recently received the highest award which a Cadet can receive, the Lord Strathcona Medal. He received this medal at the recent annual review and parade ceremony of his home Squadron, namely 706 Squadron which meets at the Connaught Ranges.

This Lord Strathcona Medal is the highest award which can be bestowed upon a Cadet and is given in recognition of exemplary performance in physical and military training. The medal and an accompanying certificate of merit are awarded by the Lord Strathcona Trust. The presentation of the Lord Strathcona Medal is authorized by the Chief of the Defence Staff. Each Air Cadet Squad-

ron may award one medal each year if there is a worthy candidate identified. Patrick joined the 706 Air Cadet Squadron when he was 12 years old, opting for Cadets over continued involvement with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association. The 706 Squadron is one of the Cadet Squadrons in the area which is supported by the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Patrick speaks highly of his involvement with the Air Cadets over the years since he joined.

“Air Cadets has taught me that with proper support and guidance, anyone is capable of anything,” Patrick says. “Cadets has been my guide into the adult world.” Patrick has received Air Cadet awards from his local Squadron such as being selected as Top Instructor last year. He comes from a military family with his mother Christine Philipson being a retired aircraft technician in the Armed Forces and her husband Bob Steadman also having a military background.

At Cadet Training Centre Continued from page 1

And for his part, Patrick was looking forward to be part of the leadership team for the course as its highest ranking Cadet. “I am proud to be able to work with some of the most well versed and experienced emerging adults this summer and plan on working with them to provide the same caliber of memorable experiences that I myself was so graciously given when I was a course cadet at Cadet Training Centre (CTC) Advanced Aviation Technology Course (AATC) Canadore,” Patrick said. Canadore College in North Bay is the site for this Advanced Aviation Technology Course (AATC) which trains Cadets in two fields, Airport Operations and Aircraft Maintenance. Canadore College delivers the training under contract with the Canadian Armed Forces. Enrolment in this AATC course is very competitive with each province allowed to send only a handful of Cadets each summer for the course. The Cadet Training Centre (CTC) Advanced Aviation Technology Course (AATC) at Canadore College in North Bay is open to only 120 Air Cadets from across the country. In addition, there are ten staff Cadets and 12 Cadet Instructors Cadre officers drawn from across Canada. Air Cadets taking the Airport Operations course cover seven topics during a six week period including military history, airport safety and security, the requirements of airport operations, airport ground services, meteorology, aircraft navigation and careers in the field. During the course, these Cadets visit civilian and military airports and other aviation related operation centres to reinforce their training. In this course, the Cadets also receive training in positive social relations. Air Cadets enrolled in the Aircraft Maintenance course cover ten topics over the six week course including basic aviation physics, aircraft standard procedures, materials used in aircraft manufacturing, avionics systems, power plant systems, electrical systems, instrumentation, inspections, servicing and careers in the field. In this Aircraft Maintenance course, Cadets spent much of their time both in the hangar and in workshops, learning through handson learning. This Advanced Aviation Technology Course

Concert The band “Heartbeats” will be performing at a free concert at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. presented by Waste Management and Goulbourn/ West Carleton Recreation. Donations for CHEO will be collected.

(AATC) with its two separate streams, Aircraft Maintenance and Airport Operations, tracks its history back to four technical training courses for Cadets (Airframes, Aero-engines, Photography and Electronics) which were provided by Canadian Armed Forces members at the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering at Canadian Forces Base Borden from the 1960’s until 2005. In the early 2000’s, due to the involvement of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in Afghanistan and other taskings, it became difficult for the CAF to continue these Technical Training courses. In order not to lose this vehicle for generating interest in military ground crew and the civilian aviation industry, it was decided to

contract out the delivery of this technical training for Air Cadets. Initially in 2008, the courses were awarded to two separate successful bidders, one for Airport Operations at Georgian College in Barrie and the other for Airport Maintenance at Canadore College in North Bay. In 2010, both courses were consolidated under Canadore College in North Bay, amalgamated into a single Advanced Aviation Technology Course with both Airport Operations and Airport Maintenance specialities. The aim of the Cadet Program is to develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, to promote physical fitness and to stimulate the interest of youth in the sea, land and air activities of the Canadian

Armed Forces. Cadets are supervised by members of the Canadian Armed Forces, most of whom are among the 7,500 members of the Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC). The primary duty of the CIC is the safety, supervision, administration and training of Cadets. Its members are specially trained part-time members of the Canadian Armed Forces who dedicate their spare time to the development of Canada’s youth through the Cadet program.

Zoning bylaw amendment to correct omission Special to the News

A zoning bylaw amendment is now being circulated by the city of Ottawa to correct an inadvertent omission in a previous bylaw. The zoning bylaw amendment applies to a 36.2 hectare parcel of land in the Fernbank lands south of the Kevin Haime Golf Centre on Hazeldean Road. The site, owned by Mattamy Homes, is going to be the location for a residential subdivision of approximately 600 homes, two parks, a stormwater management pond and an open space corridor. This Mattamy Homes property was rezoned in 2015 to permit a residential subdivision. The residential portion of the subdivision is zoned R3YY which allows detached, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings. The site-specific exception denotes specific provisions for setbacks and permitted projections. At the time of the enactment of the previous bylaw, the site-specific provisions applicable to detached dwellings were inadvertently omitted from the text of “Exception.” The proposed zoning bylaw amendment will add these provisions into the text of the exception as intended.

Medical marijuana dispensary to open John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A medical marijuana dispensary is to open in Stittsville. Magna Terra, which will be the sixth such medical marijuana dispensary in the

city of Ottawa, will be opening soon at an Iber Road location. No specific date has been set for the opening. Iber Road is an industrial park so that this new dispensary is not adjacent to any residential hosuing or to any schools. Information displayed at the location at

OTTAWA’S #1 CHOICE FOR MOTORIZED SHADES & WINDOW COVERINGS

83 Iber Road indicates the Magna Terra phone number will be 613-831-9333 with its web address being magnaterra.ca. Medical marijuana dispensary are regulated by the federal government. Until the federal government legalizes the sale of marijuana, as it has promised to do, this new facility will only be servicing those with prescriptions for the drug. In addition, there is to be a doctor on site at all times. But despite these restrictions, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri admits that he is not comfortable with having such a business operating in the community at the present time when the sale of marijuana is still illegal. He believes that there are sufficient distribution systems already in place such as mail order dispensaries to allow those

needing medical marijuana to access it. Councillor Qadri pledges that until the federal government legalizes the sale of marijuana, he will work closely with the Ottawa Police Service and the city’s bylaw department to ensure that this new medical marijuana dispensary in Stittsville operates within the bounds of the existing law. It is believed that after this medical marijuana dispensary opens, it will be holing an open house to allow members of the public to tour the facility. There will be no marijuana on display at this open house. Councillor Qadri is interested to know what the opinion of Stittsville residents is with regard to the presence of medical marijuana dispensaries in the community. He urges anyone with thoughts on the matter to email him at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

Refugees arriving in Ottawa thanks to KSRSG sponsorship John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Refugees are starting to arrive in Ottawa thanks to the sponsorship efforts of the Kanata Stittsville Refugee Support Group (KSRSG). This Support Group is an initiative of several churches in the Stittsville/Kanata area including the Stittsville United Church, St. Thomas Anglican Church and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, all in Stittsville. On Wednesday, June 29, the KSRSG welcomed Dani Marina to Ottawa. He is a refugee from Syria who had been living in Lebanon. He has family in Ottawa who are currently providing him with most of the assistance that he needs in establishing himself in Ottawa. On Friday, June 17, the KSRSG welcomed 12 members of the Hakam and Nejrabi families to Ottawa. They are originally from Afghanistan who had been living in Tajikistan. The two families are related to each other and have family members in Ottawa who

are providing them with a lot of support. The families are each renting a house but they require a number of household items. Items needed by these families include living room furniture (sofa and chairs to seat six people), a coffee table, a dining table and chairs for six, a dinnerware set and tableware for six, four single beds and one double bed including sheets, blankets and pillows, a TV and stand, a freezer, blender, lamps and night stands, electric kettle, microwave, bicycles, computer, vacuum and kitchen utensils. If you can provide any of these items, please contact Penny Gelinas of the Kanata United Church at penella@sympatico.ca. And the KSRSG is not finished in its sponsorship work. The group is still awaiting news regarding its sponsorship application for a single young woman from Syria who is currently living in Lebanon. In addition, the KSRSG is preparing a sponsorship application for another family from Syria. Rev. Grant Dillenbeck of the Stittsville United Church is the current president of the KSRSG.

In this program, participants ages 8 to 12 years will journey into the wild, following in the footsteps of the voyageurs of old. Teams of fur-trading voyageurs will participate in a game of backwoods survival, learning just why the beaver was such an important animal when the country was being explored and settled. On Wednesday, Aug. 10 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., an “Art Animators” special program will be offered. Using tools such as paper and batteries, participants aged 5 and up will get to design and animate their own electrical circuits. Family storytimes will return once the branch opens. This is a drop-in program with Miss Kristal leading the stories and songs. Miss Kristal is Kristal Craig, a new staff member at the Stittsville library. She is the branch’s new children’s programmer and public service assistant, joining the Stittsville staff from the Centennial Branch. Family storytimes will be offered on Thursdays, July 21 and 28 and Aug. 4, 11 and 18 at 10:30 a.m. The storytimes will last for 30 minutes. There will be a special Saturday family storytime on Saturday, Aug. 13 from 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Again, this is a drop-in program. There will be stories, songs and a craft.

SUMMER SALE ON NOW!

SAVE 50% on everything in store

Last week, when many of you were sweating out the summer, we were talking about winter at City Hall. Some saw this as strange, but this is actually quite normal. We plan for summer operations during the winter months and we plan for winter operations during the summer. The Winter Operations Review was released at the end of June and came to Transportation Committee on July 6th. It goes to Council July 13th, which means it will have been heard by Council by the time you read this column. The timing didn’t lead itself to advance notice, unfortunately. That was one of the primary flaws with the report but the main item for discussion ended up being a matter of 3cm. The current standard for plowing residential roads is one that is based on a 7cm deployment model. As soon as 7cm of snow hits the ground, residential plows are deployed on Class 5 roads. In Rideau-Goulbourn, Class 5 roads are primarily village subdivisions and rural estate lot subdivisions. Collector and arterial roads are between Class 2 and Class 4 and no changes were recommended for those roads within the report. The recommendation was for the deployment threshold on Class 5 roads to shift from 7cm to 10cm. This is the one issue that got political in a hurry. The intent of the change was being sold, by those who didn’t care to get the story straight, as a cut to a core service. Their take on it was that the City was simply cutting snow plowing standards to save money. However, that was not entirely accurate. In actuality, the majority of the savings from a 7cm to 10cm shift were going to be rolled back into residential plowing. For instance, one of our residential plow beats in Rideau-Goulbourn can take up to 16 hours. If we made the change from 7cm to 10cm, we could have used the savings to split that beat into two. In other residential areas, we could have deployed more plows onto residential beats sooner. Therefore, you may have waited for more snow to fall but, as soon as it did, you would have seen the plow sooner. The goal was to improve the larger snowfalls, like the ones we received last year on December 29th and February 16th. Whether or not plows were deployed at 7cm or 10cm makes a minimal difference in those large snow events. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, the issue got political. As soon as the report was released, a couple of City Councillors decried the report as a cut to service. They failed to read the entire report, realize the impacts of the changes and understand that there was a potential for increased snow plowing efficiency in the residential zones. Simply put, they took the easy way out. There is nothing easier politically, than to rally against the City for a cut to a core service. The harder thing is to take a chance on making a change to make the service better. There were no guarantees that everyone would see better service but the status quo ensures that we all retain the existing service. I believe there are many residents that feel the existing service could be better. We lost that chance because of the politicization of snow clearing. In the end, you will see the same standard of service next winter as you did the last. As soon as the issue was portrayed as a cut to a core service, it was too late to save the change as anyone who tried would have been portrayed as someone trying to put a political spin on a service cut. In hindsight, the City should have brought the public in sooner and spent more time explaining the issue and the potential benefits of the change. Having said all of that, we do have a plan in place to make residential plow beats better, but it just isn’t funded. Since we are retaining the 7cm standard, we didn’t find the necessary dollars to implement that plan. However, I have committed to working with the Chair of the Transportation Committee, Keith Egli, to find those dollars and work to realize those proposed improvements. The balance of the Winter Operations Review was focused on efficiencies that are not designed to impact service standards. The report recommendations included an adjustment of the ratio between internal plow services and contracted services and beat optimization. The City will also be piloting reverse plow beats as well as placing a plow on waste collection vehicles. This has been done elsewhere and has worked so the City will be testing it out on the streets of Ottawa. The reverse plow beats would see your beat reversed every second storm. This would mean that those who are usually plowed at the end of the beat would be at the beginning every second time. If some of you are wondering why we would review our snow plowing operations at all, it stems from an Auditor General’s report on our winter operations. The Auditor General recommended that the City of Ottawa find better efficiencies in how it carries out winter maintenance. City Council then directed staff to find those efficiencies which brought us to this report. Alright, that is enough about snow. Get back out there and enjoy the summer!

powerful voice. But combine his songs and guitar stylings with the pedal steel guitar sounds of Richmond’s Shawn Brown and you have the makings of a most memorable evening. This is what happened at the Gaia Java coffee shop at its music evening last Friday, July 8 when Howie and Shawn played together for the first time ever but hopefully not the last time. Shawn’s wizardry on the pedal steel guitar, producing that trademark country music sound that is so distinctive in its twangy, melodious way, blended with Howie’s seasoned voice to take his songs to another level of harmony and listening pleasure. And while their performance featured

many of Howie’s original songs with titles such as “Good Directions,” “Sparrow With A Broken Wing,” “She Don’t Know,” “Tear Stained Shadows,” “Sunshine Through This Window” and “Stand My Ground,” there were also a couple of cover songs thrown into the musical mix. Howie and Shawn performed “Bartender’s Blues,” a 1978 hit for American country music legend George Jones, with its woeful plea as expressed in the lyrics “But I got four walls around me, to hold my life/To keep me from going astray/And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight/To keep me from slip-

OPINION

Connected to your community

Take time to get hospital right

he National Capital Commission is taking its time to decide where an expansion of the Ottawa Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civic campus should be located. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision worth waiting for. Better a good decision than a quick one we live to regret. The first attempt was ham-fisted, and would have cut away land from the Central Experimental Farm. The public had no real say in the matter, and former MP John Baird â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the local liaison with the NCC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seemed content to ignore those voices. The location was convenient but the farm is cherished by many people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some who live nearby and some from far away. This was not a case of NIMBY-ism. Farm supporters know the thin end a wedge when they see one. If part of the farm could be sliced away for the hospital expansion, another â&#x20AC;&#x153;good causeâ&#x20AC;? could come along anytime, and the farm could eventually be sacrificed, field by field. The NCC is now re-investigating preferred sites for the Civic expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. A recommen-

dation is expected in November. While it would be nice to have a quick decision, getting it right is crucial. What is eventually constructed will stand for decades; a poor, rushed decision about its location must be avoided. Proximity to the existing Civic campus would be nice but should not limit the decision makers. The Civic is but one campus managed by the Ottawa Hospital. If a new campus is created â&#x20AC;&#x201C; distant from the Civic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there will be no need to add layers of management. The new building(s) and all the existing campuses will be operated by the same management team. A new site brings new opportunities. Existing departments at the other campuses that desperately need more space could be moved to the new property, and that in turn could free up space in existing buildings. Demand never goes down, only up. There are growing, global medical challenges the Ottawa Hospital could address through expansion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; potentially benefiting people around the world. And people here in Ottawa. But only if we get it right.

Piano at city hall a symbol of openness and inclusion

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny: just as I was thinking about writing something nice about the piano in the Ottawa City Hall lobby somebody wrote about it in an Ottawa daily newspaper, suggesting that not everyone there likes it all that much. Actually, you can understand that. Wandering through the city hall ground floor at odd times during the jazz festival, I noticed that the piano was always being played, sometimes really well, sometimes less so, and wondered how the people working near it would feel about. Sometimes, no matter how well an instrument is being played, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind silence for a while. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the merest of quibbles. In the larger sense, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to admire the decision to put a piano

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town out in the lobby of an important government building for just anyone to sit down and play. What an odd thing to do, but it symbolizes, to me, a spirit of openness that is rare at any level of government. Whoever is making decisions like that at city hall deserves our praise, even if the piano doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always sound that great. And most of the time it does. The nicest thing about it is that nobody has to sign anything to play it. In an over-regulated society, nobody is regulating it.

It is a totally unbureaucratized piano. Typically, people hear it when they are wandering through city hall, as people do. They use the lobby as a short-cut between Lisgar Street and Laurier Avenue. Or they hear the piano when they emerge from the parking lot underneath, a favourite of those who attend the jazz festival or, in colder times, skate on the Rink of Dreams, another unregulated pleasure that city hall affords, or use the city hall washrooms. If you were a little kid you could sit down at the piano and practise your recital piece, or maybe try to pick out some tune your heard on the radio. You might do that while your parents are wandering through the city hall art gallery, a much-overlooked institution that

puts on exhibitions of high quality throughout the year and at no charge to the public. Openness to the arts is another welcome feature. Many people have fond recollections of the previous city hall on Sussex Drive, out by what is now Global Affairs. It was a striking building. But the current city hall, which was once regional headquarters is more centrally located and, as a result, better used. Its ease of access is not just for festival-goers, gallery attenders and those who park underneath but for those who want to drop in on city council meetings. That is important for local democracy. It seems a no-brainer that the home of local government should be a place where citizens feel at home but most of us know how rare in fact this is.

of large institutions, from corporations to governments, to build walls between themselves and the people they serve. We should be thankful when someone makes a decision to go in the opposite direction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not only goes in the opposite direction but provides a piano for good measure. The old saying is that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight city hall. At this particular city hall, nobody wants to.

‘Heartbeats’ to perform at Village Square John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The rock ‘n roll music of the 1950’s and 1960’s will be filling the air at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Aug. 18. That’s when the Heartbeats, a five piece show band that specializes in the “golden oldies” of the 50’s and 60’s, will be presenting a one and a half hour free concert thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management and Goulbourn/ West Carleton Recreation. This is the final concert in this year’s seven concert “Concerts in the Park”

series that began on Thursday, July 7 with the Mick Armitage Band performing at Fitzroy Provincial Park. The Heartbeats will perform on stage at Village Square Park from 7p.m. to 8:30 p.m. with their performance preceded by a cash-only BBQ starting at 6 p.m. which will raise funds to support local youth initiatives. Donations for CHEO will also be collected during the evening. This concert, as with all of the others, will go ahead rain or shine. Those attending are reminded to take along a lawn chair or a blanket for seating. The Heartbeats band specializes in

the nostalgic music of the 1950’s and 1960’s, including songs made familiar and famous by the Everly Brothers, Dion and the Belmonts, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison and more. The Heartbeats have been performing these “golden oldies” throughout the Ottawa Valley and the Outaouais for over 25 years. Members of the Heartbeats include Denny Welburn, lead guitar and vocals; Jean Cote, bass guitar and vocals; Richard Wills, drums and vocals; Roddy

McCann, saxophone; and Pat Hallett, rhythm guitar and vocals. Other concerts in this year’s “Concerts in the Park” series are at Fitzroy Provincial Park on Thursday, July 14, Sidewinder; on Thursday, July 21, The Ramblin’ Valley Band; and on Thursday, July 28, Ambush; at Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Thursday, Aug. 4, Ambush; and on Thursday, Aug. 11, SwitchGear. Ambush, which performs at the Richmond fairgrounds on Thursday, Aug. 4, is a country music group that goes back to 1993 and has built up quite a loyal following over the years. SwitchGear is a southern rock and new country band based in Cornwall which mixes originals with covers in its shows. SwitchGear broke into the modern country rock scene in 2010, winning the Country 103FM (Kamloops, B.C.) “Emerging Artist Showdown” in 2012.

‘Reflections’ exhibition features diversity of art JULY SPECIALS John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Reflections is a multi-dimensional word. It can mean the return of light from a surface, the production of an image (e.g. mirror), the action of folding back or a longconsidered thought. And so it need not be unexpected that an art exhibition named “Reflections” would feature a diversity of art, not only in mediums used such as oil, acrylics, photography and mixed media but also in subject matter, ranging from true physical reflections to ar-

tistic reflections to no reflection at all. Indeed, this “Reflections” exhibition now on display at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road can be said to “reflect” the diversity of the work of owaa artists. Vera Van Baaren’s colourful acrylic painting is eye-catchingly bright with its yellow sun in a blue sky and its white mountains. And it lives up to its name, “Reflection,” not once but twice as there is a double reflection of the sun and the mountains in the painting. See DIVERSITY OF ART, page 17

Diversity of art on display in ‘Reflections’ exhibition Continued from page 15

Bev Lafortune’s photograph “Stillness” with water in the foreground mirroring the reflection of trees is another example of a physical reflection being portrayed in this exhibition. Stephanie Robertson’s “Jasper Tranquility” colour photograph has captured mountains in the distance, trees on a far shoreline and the placid water of the foreground reflecting these shoreline trees. Reflection again at its physical best! Trudy Daley’s oil painting “Serenity” has also reflecting blue water, background trees and a grassy shoreline in the immediate foreground, all happening under a blue sky with white clouds. And while not actual reflections, both Stephanie Robertson’s photograph “Spring Dreams” and Trudy Daley’s acrylic work “Pansies” provide reflections of floral beauty, not through physical reflections but through a repetition of floral scenes, each scene reflecting a common beauty. Stephanie Robertson’s “Spring Dreams” is a series of three separately framed photographs showing yellow tulips about to bloom. Trudy Daley’s “Pansies,” a small vertical work, features four different sections, each focussed on a unique-

ly coloured pansy, ranging from violet to white to blue to orange. Photographer John Edkins threw a visual wrench into the viewing of his photo art “Toronto, Alberta” as the work may at first glance look like a scene of Toronto’s skyline including the CN Tower and the Skydome but where the skyline should be reflected in the waters of Lake Ontario in the foreground, this is not the case as the foreground is a photographic view of a mountain scene in Alberta. That’s why the work is called “Toronto, Alberta” because the top half features Toronto’s skyline and the bottom half features Alberta mountains. It’s two photos doing the work of one!

John Edkins did the same thing with his photo art work “The Abyss,” also in this exhibition. It features one horizontal photograph on top, showing an outline of an abbey-type structure while a bottom photograph shows what could be a more up-close view of this same structure. And what about the diversity of the art presented in this “Reflections” exhibition! Catherine Gutsche’s large acrylic painting “Evening Falls Over The Swamp” has lots of vertical focus, with bullrushes and swamp vegetation filling the scene. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s “Mountain Lake” work shows mountains in the background, evergreen trees

in the mid-ground and a placid water scene in the foreground. Josie Walsh’s acrylic painting “…on the rocks” portrays a pair of seagulls perched on protruding seashore rocks, with the very bluest of water in the background. Betty Sullivan’s acrylic painting “Lake Side” features water in the foreground with orange-tinged rocks in the background. Similar in subject matter is Louise Barker’s oil painting “Quiet Waters,” a watery scene with rocks in the foreground, some of which are just beneath the water’s surface. Another painting that fits in with these two is Josie Walsh’s oil painting “Sea For Miles,” a small work depicting a rock outcropping on a

seashore with the watery sea in the background, all under a blue sky. Yet another work on display in this exhibition with a water theme is Sheila Turner-Whalen’s photograph “Sunset @ Clayton Lake,” with a glowing sun in the distant sky, surrounded by clouds, with water in the foreground and a treed shoreline in the distance. Kat McClure’s large mixed media work “Untamed” features different shades of blue along with dashes of white and green, all thrown together in an abstract masterpiece that just might have a reflection or possible reflection in there somewhere.

People’s Choice balloting at art exhibition Continued from page 17

Equally fascinating and of the same large size in Aud Karin Sund’s oil painting “New Earth Construction,” with a blue swirl focal point highlighted amid its green and yellow colouring. Large as well but totally different from the abstract nature of the Kat McClure and Aud Karin Sund’s paintings with its detailed depiction of “The Queen in Ottawa” is Mark Grasza’s painting of a younger Queen with the Parliament Buildings behind her and a Canadian flag beside her.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Stittsville artist Vera Van Baaren stands with her acrylic painting “Reflection” which is now on display in the new exhibition called “Reflections” at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville.

Equally detailed and realistic is Vera Van Baaren’s acrylic work “Breakfast” which shows birds feeding at a feeder. Sylvie Sabourin’s photograph in this exhibition also shows a bird but one in a virtual silhouette casting a shadow. Artist Michael Goguen has two works in this exhibition. One, an oval-shaped oil painting, is entitled “Moonrise,” depicting the moon glowing in a cloud-laden sky over a water scene showing approaching waves. The other work is an acrylic painting showing a big moon over a city of tur-

rets amid a Mars-like landscape, all very much in the style that he has shown in a number of previous owaa exhibitions. This “Reflections” exhibition will be on display at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road from now until Friday, Sept. 9. Those viewing the exhibition are reminded to fill out a People’s Choice ballot indicating a favourite piece in the show. The ballots and ballot box can be found on the top of the large glass display case in which some of the artwork is displayed at this owaa gallery.

Performing in the A Company of Foods Torchlight Shakespeare presentation of “The Amazing Adventures of Pericles, Prince of Tyre” at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville on Thursday evening, July 7 are Pericles, left, played by Al Connors, who is reading from a scroll while looking on is King Antiochus, right, played by Mary Ellis, who is standing with his daughter, waiting for Pericles to solve the riddle allowing him to marry the King’s daughter, while a fiddler gets ready to play at the far left.

“In all honesty, I wish I didn’t have to talk to you about your toilet. Ever…” • But there’s something I’ve just got to tell you. No one wants to talk about toilets, but in my business we don’t have a choice. In fact, it’s my obligation to tell you that your “current” toilet’s poor performance is not your imagination. Oh, it looks like a toilet and does pretty much what they’re designed to do -except for one thing… It’s wasting water. It’s the old “good intentions/bad results” scenario. The Ontario government passed a law to reduce water consumption, and that law mandated that new toilets use only 6 litres of water. This is – in many cases – less than half of the “old” standard toilet that would flush a football. While the law is good, the toilet designs are bad. And that has led to something almost comical: The “new, conserving” toilets must regularly be flushed two or more times, which means they use more water than the “old” toilets. The problem was so

bad that the government had set up a Toilet Testing Lab (not kidding) to see if 6 litres could really even work as designed. Of the hundreds of toilets tested, they found few that worked. And we’ve got the best one. Gerber works first time, every time. As plumbers, we know quality, and this is superb. The enameled porcelain is superior; as are the fittings, valves, and seriously engineered construction. So if you are the least bit frustrated with the poor quality, “double flushing” leak-prone toilet in your otherwise fine home, please give us a call. Safari Plumbing Ltd. The White Glove Plumber™ 69 Evergreen Drive Ottawa, Ontario K2H 6C5 Ph:613-224-6335

It’s Guaranteed: If we install your new toilet and it leaks within the first two years – we fix it, free. Plus, the toilet itself has a two-year warranty against cracks, defects, or becoming “unseated” from its mount. For your next plumbing need, give us a call, and we’ll take $20 off the top. Cut out and save this ad! Just stick it to the fridge or put it in the phone book for safe keeping.

fessional Shakespeare theatrical group A Company of Fools presented “The Amazing Adventures of Pericles, Prince of Tyre” in its 2016 Torchlight Shakespeare outdoor theatre series. The 95 minute long performance opened with a song and music, with singers accompanied by a guitar and fiddle setting the stage, as it were, for the play. The guitar and fiddle were to reappear at spots in the performance, along with other musical instruments such as an accordion, a bongo drum and plastic trumpets. There were a couple of modern-day references inserted in the Shakespearean dialogue which evoked response from the audience. When things did not go well for Pericles, Prince of Tyre, when he tried to win the hand of the daughter of King Antiochus of Antioch and he flees back to Tyre, he sums up the experience with the comment: “That’s the last time I try online dating.” And when an assassin charged by King Antiochus to kill Pericles arrives in Tyre, moving from the rear of the audience towards the stage, his thought is more about transportation than murder as he quips “I wonder if OC Transpo comes all the way out here.” And when Governor Cleon of Tarsus talks about the famine facing his city, even grabbing a snack treat from an audience member which he termed “drier than I thought,” he acknowledged the audience’s presence, tell-

ing it to “Think about that on the way home.” And audience acknowledgement and even participation did not end there. When plastic trumpets sounded to announce a jousting tournament held by King Simonides of Pentapolis, the king thanked the trumpeters with the comment “Yes, thank you, Kenny G.” This was a reference, of course, to Kenny G, the American saxophonist who is the biggest selling instrumental musician probably of all time – yes, even Shakespearean times! And following Pericles’ victory in the jousting match, thereby getting to marry King Simonides’ daughter Thaisa, there was a feast which included dancing. Two of the Knights involved in the jousting danced with audience members, although while one found an audience partner quickly, a second Knight had some difficulty in enticing an audience member to dance with him. But a young girl quickly assumed the challenge, especially after King Simonides announced that the play would not be moving on until someone got up and danced with the Knight. This post-jousting feast had a humourous moment as King Simonides and Pericles were enjoying themselves at a banquet tabled filled with food and drink. As they went to drink, they had to lift the whole tabletop up to their lips as the goblets as well as all of the food were affixed to the tabletop for ease of prop management.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

July 14, 2016

Medical Marijuana Dispensary to Open in Stittsville As some of you may be aware, Ottawa’s sixth medical marijuana dispensary, Magna Terra, was recently announced to open soon on Iber Road. I feel it is important to state that while it is known to be our current Federal government’s plan to legalize marijuana sale in the near future, the drug – as well as its dispensaries - at the present time still remains illegal. To that end, I am not comfortable with an unlicensed business of this nature operating within our community at the present time. Although I can appreciate the medicinal qualities and pain relief these products may offer, there are sufficient distribution channels and networks already available to receive those medications such as Tweed, a licensed mail-order dispensary based in Smiths Falls. If/when these establishments obtain licenses, the federal government will put markers in terms of distribution that will facilitate operations. However, until that time, I will be working very closely with Ottawa Police Service and City of Ottawa By-Law departments to ensure that proper enforcement is in play. I have been in contact with the owners and have been assured that this particular facility will include a doctor on site and should only be servicing people with pre-existing prescriptions for purchase. In my initial conversations with owner, Franco Vigile, I had mentioned to him to go and consult with our planning department and to hold a public consultation session before moving forward. I have now been advised that once opened, the owners will be inviting the public in to see their operations as an open house setting with no displays of product. Until that time, I will remain in communications with Mr. Vigile and will be providing community updates as those conversations progress. What is Stittsville’s opinion on medical marijuana dispensaries in our area? Please share with me your thoughts and ideas on the matter by emailing me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. No specific date has been set as of yet regarding when the shop will open. Development Site Alteration By-law I am very pleased that the City is developing a site alteration by-law. This was a concern that I had raised to the City given the large development growth taking place in Stittsville and I am thankful to the community for first bringing this item to my attention. I feel it is very important that development industries ensure they are following proper guidelines with respect to site alteration. “Site alteration” is commonly defined as the placing or dumping of fill, the removal of topsoil, or changing the grade of land. Some municipalities also include vegetation removal in their definition of site alteration. It is a necessary part of land development and other normal human activities. The City has released a Discussion Paper on this matter with the following purpose: - Present some basic background information on site alteration and site alteration by-laws in Ontario, and the current situation in Ottawa; - Explain the guiding principles under which Ottawa’s site alteration by-law is being developed; - Consider the circumstances under which site alteration may not be appropriate; and, - Identify some potential minimum standards / best practices for site alteration. I encourage residents to review the Discussion Paper on the City’s website for the Site Alteration By-law on the City of Ottawa website. The City hopes that after reading this paper, that interested stakeholders and members of the public will join the discussion and help define appropriate parameters for site alteration activities in Ottawa. At this time, I would like to request any input on what parameters you think should be established for site alteration or any other factors the City should consider moving forward. Please contact myself at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca and the City Planner, Amy MacPherson at planning@ottawa.ca / 613-580-2424 ext. 14873. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

Tale of Pericles presented by ‘A Company of Fools’ Continued from page 21

Who knows? Perhaps this is how it was done back then in Shakespeare’s Pentapolis! And what a story was woven by Shakespeare in this tale of Pericles, Prince of Tyre, and his adventures! Here’s how it went, at least as interpreted by Catriona Leger, the director of this particular Shakespearean play for A Company of Fools: Pericles, aka the Prince of Tyre, travels to Antioch where he wins a competition to marry the daughter of King Antiochus but things go wrong and Pericles flees back home to Tyre, with King Antiochus hiring an assassin to kill him. Pericles must get out of Tyre and sails to Tarsus which is experiencing a famine. He helps out Governor Cleon and his wife Dionyza in feeding the people but then sails away to find a new hideout. His ship is wrecked off the shores of Pentapolis where he learns that King Simonides is holding a jousting tournament, with the winner to marry his daughter Thaisa. Pericles wins the tournament and marries Thaisa who becomes pregnant right away. Pericles is able to go back to Tyre with the death of King Antiochus but on the way there a storm hits at sea, just as Thaisa is about to give birth. Thaisa dies in childbirth and is buried in a casket at sea. Pericles and his newborn baby Marina stop at Tarsus where Pericles leaves his daughter with Cleon and Dionyza. Meanwhile, Thaisa’s casket has washed up on shore in Ephesus where a “doctor” brings her back to life. She decides to live as a nun. About 14 years later, Marina has become a young woman. Her foster mother Dionyza does not like it that Marina overshadows her own daughter and arranges to kill Marina. Pirates interfere, though, and kidnap Marina, selling her to a brothel in Myt-

ilene. The virtuous Marina is bad for the brothel’s business because she is so virtuous and she ends up in an “honest house” where she sews, sings and teaches. Pericles eventually ends up in Mytilene where he is reunited with his daughter. Pericles then travels to Ephesus where he is also re-united with his long-lost wife Thaisa. Everyone lives happily ever after. And just like it started, the play ends with singing, accompanied by a guitar and violin. And at the end of the singing, the simple statement “Here our play has ended” was voiced and it was all over, except for passing of the hat to collect donations. There is no admission charge for these Torchlight Shakespeare presentations – those attending are simply asked to make a donation at the end of the play. Performing for A Company of Fools in this presentation of “The Amazing Adventures of Pericles, Prince of Tyre” were Pierre Brault as Cleon, Simonides, Pandar and others; Jennifer Cecil as Dionyza, Lysimachus and others; Al Connors as Pericles; Mary Ellis as Antiochus, Thaisa, Diana, Bolt and others; Mahalia Golnosh Tahririha as Marina, Thaliard, Lychorida and others; and Mekdes Teshome as Helicana, Cerimon, Bawd and others. Others involved in the production were Catriona Leger as director; Vanessa Imeson for costume and puppet design; Even Gilcrest as costume assistant; Stephanie Dahmer Brett for set design; Mishelle Cuttler as composer; Jacki Brabazon as stage manager; Zahra Larche as apprentice stage manager; Phoebe Santini as assistant director; Geoff McBride as production manager; J. Katrina Wong as assistant production manager and program layout and design; Brittany Johnston as ap-

People’s Choice voting John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

‘Roseanne Facchin’s painting “I See You” sold on the very first day that it was exhibited at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. So you knew that this painting of a bird of prey sitting on a

branch was eye-catching and appealing. It should come as no surprise, then, that this painting “I See You” topped the People’s Choice voting for this exhibition which was called “The Simple Things in Life” and which ran from May through to Friday, July 8. Placing second in the People’s Choice balloting for this exhibition was Mi-

prentice production manager; Alexandra Isenor as general manager; Gertrude Wilkes as front of house manager; Kayla McSorley as front of house assistant; Shannon Leak as volunteer coordinator; and Adam Pockaj as graphic artist, postcard, poster and program cover design. These Torchlight Shakespeare productions by A Company of Fools this summer have been made possible with the support of the city of Ottawa, the Ottawa Arts Council, Algonquin College, Ottawa Festivals, the Canadian Actors Equity Association and Canada Summer Jobs Grants. A Company of Fools also is supported by a number of donors who support the organization at various levels of support. A Company of Fools , founded in 1990, is Ottawa’s original professional Shakespeare company. Over the years A Company of Fools has built a reputation as a highly physical troupe doing interactive shows both outdoors and indoors. Its shows have toured across Canada. The Torchlight Shakespeare plays presented by A Company of Fools feature 90 minute versions of Shakespearean plays. Involving a cast of anywhere from three to six actors, these plays are fast-paced and interactive. The mandate of A Company of Fools is to produce innovative, entertaining and accessible shows based on the works of William Shakespeare. A Company of Fools is a not-for-profit corporation and a registered charity. This presentation in Stittsville was A Company of Fools’ fourth presentation of this Shakespearean drama, starting a summer that will see the group give 39 performances of the play at various outdoor locations throughout the city of

chael Goguen’s oil painting “Japanese Lake” which showed a placid water scene with mountains in the background. Michael and his work are no strangers to the People’s Choice balloting as his oil painting “Aphidwalk” depicting a giant aphid with mechanical legs and running shoes moving through an apple orchard attracted the most votes in the Peo-

Ottawa and area until Aug. 20. This year’s performance is particularly interesting because this Shakespearean play about Pericles, Prince of Tyre is only rarely presented. But it is quite a production, with more than 45 characters in the play, all of whom are played by only six actors of A Company of Fools. With only a cast of six playing over 45 characters, there were lots of lightning quick costume changes throughout the play. While “The Amazing Adventures of Pericles, Prince of Tyre” is a romance, it also is full of humour and ridiculous situations such as pirate kidnappings, shipwrecks and bringing the “dead” back to life. And it was done with the show embodying the whimsical nature that is always part of A Company of Fools production. In addition, this production featured an original musical score. “Pericles is an epic adventure story with exciting plot twists and a huge variety of characters,” says Catriona Leger, the artistic director of The Company of Fools who is the director for this play. This is the 13th summer performance season for The Company of Fools. There are some questions regarding the authorship of the play. Some believe that Shakespeare may not have been the sole author of this play. It is generally agreed by scholars that the play was written in 1607 or early 1608. It was one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays in his own era. The earliest known performance which can be documented occurred in May 1619. There have been several productions of “Pericles” mounted at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, ON including ones in 1973, 1974, 1986, 2003 and 2015.

ple’s Choice balloting for the “Up Close” exhibition at the owaa gallery which ran for two months until Friday, May 13. Third place in the latest People’s Choice balloting for the “The Simple Things in Life” exhibition went to Josie Walsh for her acrylic painting “Carolina Breezes” showing two palm trees on a seashore, with a pink sky above.

‘Best Damned Barn Dance in 198 Years’ coming up John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a dance that you will not want to miss. That’s because it is a dance happening in a barn – yes, that’s right, a good old-fashioned barn

dance. And it should be a good one because the organizers are labelling it as the “Best Damned Barn Dance in 198 Years.” And this means the best such dance since the founding of Richmond since it was founded in 1818, 198 years

ago. Being organized by the Richmond 200th Anniversary Committee and the Richmond Agricultural Society, this barn dance is being held on Saturday, Aug. 6 in the big barn at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond.

It promises to be a great evening of dancing with great music provided by R & B. Everyone is welcome to attend. Tickets are $20 per person in advance or $25 at the door if there are any left by then. There is only a limited number of tickets available, so those wishing to attend are urged to get their tickets early. Tickets are available now at the Royal LePage Team Realty office at 3441 McBean Street (adjacent to Memorial Park) or from Kelly McKenna at Kelly_cook-mckenna@hotmail.com. For more information, please contact Dale Greene of the Rich-

mond Agricultural Society at 613-298-0249. Barn dances are a traditional dance venue, although to actually get to dance in a barn these days is getting rarer as the term “barn dance” is sometimes used now to refer to a dance in a spacious hall. But this is an honest-to-goodness “barn dance.” The term “barn dance” became popular almost a century ago when radio station WLS in Chicago began the “barn dance” radio format in 1924, emphasizing country music. This “barn dance” format eventually led to the rise of the Grand Ole Opry show.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

This heavy horse barn on the Richmond fairgrounds will be the site of the “Best Damned Barn Dance in 198 Years” which is being presented by the Richmond 200th Anniversary Committee and the Richmond Agricultural Society on Saturday, Aug. 6.

Scooter provided by Legion John Curry

John.curry@metroland.com

Glenroy Huff of Richmond is now moving around easier thanks to the Royal Canadian Legion. That’s because he has received a rechargeable electric scooter and also a walker free of charge from the Legion. Indeed, just minutes after Royal Canadian Legion Zone G-5 Commander Joel VanSnick along with Richmond Legion members John Villeneuve and Jack Lemyre delivered the red scooter to Glenroy at his Hyde Park home, Glenroy was seen motoring on it around the neighbourhood. While he was given a quick rundown of how to operate the vehicle, an instruction manual was provided as well. But Glenroy already was familiar with such scooters and their controls as he has used them

when shopping at Walmart which has similar scooters at the store for use by customers. This was all possible thanks to a program which is conducted at the Royal Canadian Legion Zone level in which scooters, power wheelchairs, chair lifts and walkers are donated to the Legion for distribution to members and veterans who could use such assistive equipment. These items are donated by family members who have recently lost a loved one who had such equipment but who wish that the equipment now go to help others. Glenroy, who is a member of the Richmond Legion, is moving from his Hyde Park home in Richmond to a new retirement residence in Barrhaven. He and his wife, who recently passed away, had made plans to move there. See GLENROY HUFF, page 29

Glenroy Huff now has scooter to get around thanks to Legion Continued from page 27

Now that he is on his own, he decided to continue with the move. He will be able to take the scooter and walker with him for use there. The scooter can be used both inside and outside and is convenient at retirement residences. For example, there are many such scooters in use by residents at the Perley Rideau Veterans Home in Ottawa. If and when Glenroy no longer needs the scooter and walker, they will be returned to the Legion which will then provide them to another member or veteran who could benefit from such equipment. Glenroy, who grew up on a farm and had a career as an electrician, is a long time Legion member. When a member of the Legion branch in Mattawa, he was instrumental in an expansion of the Legion Hall there. He has been using a unique wooden cane which was created from the stump of a tree.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A A weekly weekly guide guide in in legal legal matters matters

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

I was injured in a car accident which was not my fault more than 3 years ago. I have just learned that as a result of my injuries I will need surgery and may never be able to work again. Before learning this from my doctor I had believed my injuries were not that serious and I would fully recover. Can I sue the driver that hit me? Limitations and their exceptions

What should you do?

That is a complicated question. Generally speaking, although there are exceptions, you may commence an action for damages in Ontario anytime up to 2 years after an event, or after you reasonably learned of the consequences of an event. If you know of the consequences of an event where you suffered injuries or losses, you generally lose your right to sue as of the second anniversary of the loss.

The first thing you should do is get legal advice from a lawyer as soon as you become aware that something has happened. There are other shorter limitation periods including notice periods which can be just a few days, arising in some circumstances. A lawyer can give you advice and help you pursue your rights as appropriate.

There are various exceptions to this rule. Recently, the Ontario Government has abolished limitation periods for victims of sexual assault. Furthermore, limitations generally don’t apply to people under a legal disability, and that includes minors (people under the age of 18). There is also a legal doctrine of discoverability. Discoverability provides that a limitation period does not begin to run against a person until that person knew or ought to have known of a loss, and in some cases the extent or seriousness of a loss can be an issue.

Secondly, even if you think too much time has gone by, you should consult with a lawyer. If circumstances provide an exception to the usual limitation periods, a lawyer will be able to advise you of this fact and advocate on your behalf. All cases are specific to their facts and the above information should not be relied upon to determine rights in particular circumstances. Lawyers often provide no obligation free and confidential consultations to prospective clients. So it is a good idea to seek out legal advice from a lawyer if you have any doubt or questions about your rights.

Signs honouring Olympic golfer John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

“Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.” This well known verse from the Bible (Luke 4:24) quoting Jesus may apply to prophets but not to golfers – at least not to George Seymour Lyon, the last golfer to win a gold medal in the Olympics. Thanks to the efforts of city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, the golfing accomplishments of Richmond native George S. Lyon have now been proclaimed for all to see as four signs extolling his golfing accomplishments have now been erected at the four main road entrances to Richmond. The signs, erected on the Welcome to Richmond signs which stand at the village’s four road entrances, proclaim Richmond as the “Birthplace of George S. Lyon” and identify the golfer as the 1904 Olympic Champion and an Eight-Time Canadian Amateur Champion. The two-colour sign also features a photograph showing George S. Lyon with his golf clubs and with the Olympic championship trophy for golf which he won in the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis. This was the last time that a gold medal was awarded for

golf in the Olympics, something that will change at this year’s Olympics coming up in Rio de Janeiro when golf returns to the Olympic sporting schedule. The sign also features the Olympic logo as well as the logo for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Among those attending the official unveiling of these new signs on Tuesday, July 5, exactly 30 days before the opening ceremony for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro takes place, was Mike Pasieka of the Richmond Centennial Golf Club on Joy’s Road in Richmond. This golf course is built on land that was once owned by the Lyon family of Richmond as George Lyon, the grandfather of George S. Lyon, was one of the original military settlers of Richmond, receiving an extensive grant of land on which he established various entrepreneurial pursuits such as a distillery, a brewery and a mill powered by the water of the Jock River. An archeological dig a couple of years ago on Sangeet Place, a country estate lot development located between the Richmond Legion Hall on Ottawa Street and the Richmond Centennial Golf Club, unearthed numerous artefacts at the site of the foundation of a house associated with the Lyon family. Indeed, Mike Pasieka remembers playing among the remains of this foundation when he was a youngster and his father Art Pasieka was building the adjacent golf course. And these new signs at the road entrances to Richmond are not the only place where the golfing exploits of George S. Lyon are being recounted in these days leading up to the Olympics in Rio de Janerio where golf will once again be in the Olympic spotlight, just like it was back in 1904 when George Lyon won the golf medal in golf. The Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners has mounted an exhibit focussed on golfer George S. Lyon which was unveiled at the Museum’s recent Father’s Day Flashback event and which is now on display at the Museum. Headlined “Before Tiger There Was A Lyon,” the Museum attributes this phrase to Michael Cochrane, author of a recently published book entitled “Olympic Lyon – The Untold Story of the Last Golf Medal for Golf.” See MUSEUM, page 33

Museum exhibit Continued from page 31

The exhibit features five photographs of George Lyon as well as a number of artefact reminders of his sporting career including a tennis racquet and a number of old golf clubs from the Museum’s artefact collection, assembled in a glass cabinet that is part of the exhibit. The exhibit also includes a brief description of the life and sporting exploits of George Seymour Lyon (1858-1938) who is referred to as “Perhaps Canada’s most unlikely Olympian.” Born in Richmond in 1858, George was the son of Robert Lyon who became a major of Ottawa and was the grandson of George Lyon who was a Captain with the 100th Regiment of Foot and was one of the first Richmond residents in 1818. A veteran of the War of 1812 in which he was wounded at the Battle of Chippewa, this grandfather George Lyon became a entrepreneur in early Richmond. George Seymour Lyon himself was a veteran of the NorthWest Rebellion of 1885 and worked as an insurance sales-

man in Toronto. In Toronto, he was an accomplished sportsman, playing rugby, soccer, baseball and tennis. He set records as a pole vaulter in track and field and as a batsman in cricket. Indeed, it was while he was waiting to practice cricket at the Rosedale Cricket Ground in Toronto that he was challenged by a friend to try golf. He excelled in the sport and went on to play in the men’s golf event at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis where at 46 years of age he went head to head against the United States amateur champion of the day, a much younger Chandler Egan, defeating him in the gold medal final. The 1904 Olympics were the last Olympic Games at which a gold medal for golf was awarded, thus making Richmondborn George S. Lyon the reigning Olympic champion in golf for the past 112 years.

Richmond native George S. Lyon wins Olympic gold medal in 1904 of gold, only taking up the sport in 1896 when a friend dared him to hit a golf ball. George Seymour This one swipe led to a fasLyon was born in Richcination and enthusiasm for mond on July 27, 1858. the game that stayed with While born in Richhim for the rest of his life, mond, George Seymour leading not only to numerous Canadian amateur golf championships but also to Olympic gold medal. He was 46 years old in 1904 when he won the Olympic gold medal in golf at the Olympics in St. Louis. In these 1904 Olympics in St. Louis in the United States, George Lyon was one of 87 golfers who played in the qualifying round. George finished seventh among the 32 qualifiers who went on to compete against each other in a match play format. George Lyon defeated F.C. Newton of Seattle in semi-final play and then played Chandler Egan, the reigning United States amateur champion, in the gold medal final, winning three up with two holes to go and capturing the Olympic gold As a golfer, George S. Lyon was known for his long medal. drives and superb long iron shots. He made some remarkable John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Lyon spent most of his life in Toronto where he gained a reputation as a superb all-round athlete, culminated in his prowess on the golf course. He was, though, a late comer to the sport

shots during his Olympic play. For instance, he drove the 276 yard first green four times during his matches and in his semi-final match, his drive on the 327 yard eighth hole finished up hole high. “His spectacular hitting, more than any other single factor, led to his greatest single achievement in golf,” S.F. Wise and Douglas Fisher wrote about George Lyon’s gold medal win in the 1904 Olympics at the Glen Echo golf Club in St. Louis in their book “Canada’s Sporting Heroes”. It was his power off the tee and his superb long iron play that really set George Lyon apart from the field in this Olympic golf championship and indeed in his golfing career in general, although he was also known for his deadly putting. He was also noted as well for his ability to get out of trouble on the course. His competitive, albeit friendly, nature made him a first class match play golfer, sometimes overcoming his inconsistent putting. That he knew how to have

a good time is perhaps best conveyed by the fact that when he was called up to accept his golfing gold medal at the 1904 Olympics, he did so by doing a handstand down the aisle. But, then, he was also talented in such athletic pursuits as he had set a national pole vault record when he was 18 years old in 1876. Some of his golfing power and ability may have come from the fact that he was a first class cricket player. During 11 years of international competition, George Lyon was one of the country’s best known cricket players. Once, in 1894, in a match in Toronto, he carried his bat for 238, setting a national record. There were few sports at which George Seymour Lyon did not excel. He was one of the best amateur baseball players in the Toronto area in the 1880’s. He also excelled in football and hockey as well as lawn bowling, tennis and curling. In curling, he event won the coveted Ontario Tankard representing the provincial

championship. But it is golf for which George Lyon is best known, not only because of his Olympic gold medal win in 1904 but also because he won the Canadian amateur golf championship eight times during the period of 1898 to 1914 and then went on to win the Canadian senior golf championship ten times during the period of 1918 to 1932. He also finished second four times during this period. In 1906, George Lyon came close to winning the prestigious United States amateur golf championship. The week of competition saw him being defeated by Eben Bryers in the final, with the match being decided on the very last hole. He was president of the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1923 and was among the first inductees into the Royal Canadian Golf Association’s Golf Hall of Fame in 1971. George Lyon has also been inducted into the Goulbourn Sports Wall of Fame.

No $250,000 grand prize for Richmond in Kraft Heinz contest John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Richmond will not be winning the $250,000 grand prize in the Kraft Heinz Project Play contest. Richmond was not one of the four finalists announced on Friday, July 8 and so is out of the running for the grand prize or any of the three consolation prizes of $20,000 each. The four finalists that were chosen are Jaffray Melick Ball Fields in Kenora; Chase and District Skate Park in Chase, BC, Nabbertok Nordic in Cantley, Qc and Pearklgate Track and Field Club in Mount Pearl, NL. Online voting to determine the winner from these four communities will begin on Monday, July 25. Richmond had been nominated in this contest by the Richmond Village Association (RVA)

2018. This new Community Recreation Support Centre at Lions Club would become “a focal point around sports and active outdoor living for the entire community,” the nomination suggested. The nomination for Richmond pointed out Richmond’s history in sport, ranging from the Olympic gold medal in golf in 1904 won by Richmond native George Lyon to the more recent World Arm Wrestling Championship won by Richmond resident Devon Larratt. “A community facility located in Lions Park, the centre of sports activity in Richmond, would ignite opportunities to improve sports offerings to youth throughout the village while at the same time establishing a lasting 200th anniversary legacy proj-

along with the Richmond District Lions Club. The nomination period, which ran from Friday, April 29 to Sunday, June 12, saw nominations submitted from 821 communities across Canada, including 265 from Ontario communities. Richmond was one of these. John Shearer of the RVA submitted the nomination for Richmond on behalf of the RVA and the Lions Club. The nomination indicated that the $250,000 grand prize would be used to upgrade the current “canteen” building at Lions Park in Richmond into a Community Recreation Support Centre which would provide space for meetings, storage, washrooms and other uses. The project was suggested as a legacy project for Richmond’s upcoming 200th anniversary of its founding which is taking place in

ect for the village!”, the nomination read. Each nomination submitted (one per community) was required to tell about the community’s passion and spirit for sport, recreation and active living. In commenting on Richmond’s not making it as one of the four finalists, RVA vice-president John Shearer said “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” He said that the RVA will now have to explore other funding opportunities in its quest to improve the presence of community space in Richmond. Between June 13 and June 30, all of the nominations submitted were judged by a panel of judges comprised of representatives of the contest sponsors. The judging was based on the following criteria: Description of the impact winning the grand prize would have on the community

– 30 percent; Description of the community’s passion and spirit for sport, recreation and active living – 30 percent; Description of how the prize money would be used to upgrade the nominated recreational facility – 30 percent; and Creativity and overall effort regarding the entry – 10 percent. The top four finalists now advance to the online voting round of the contest. The online voting to determine the winner of the grand prize will take place on Monday, July 25 and Tuesday, July 26. The grand prize is $250,000 to be used to upgrade the community project outlined in the community’s nomination. The three finalist communities which do not win the grand prize will each receive $20,000 to be used to help upgrade the community project outlined in the nomination.

MARY COOK Memories Mother stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the yard. She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass. This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm. Which wasn’t very often. It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware ad in the Renfrew Mercury. Three dollars was a princely sum. Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it. We would be taking the old Model T instead of the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong

Latest fad in lawn care at the farm

with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years! When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen anything like it. It had two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside. Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please. He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption that was going to change our yard into something to brag about. Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of being the first to use the new lawn mower. It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in

straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told. He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face. Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre. Finally, the whole yard was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still

standing where the lawn mower had missed. The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn. Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next. He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better. “Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

CAT OF THE WEEK ALBERT!

He is the “LOVE BUG” of the century… so friendly towards humans... wants to be cuddled and hugged and told how handsome he is. His golden orange fur is soft as velvet and he loves to be brushed to keep it this way. About 2 years young responsible but also playful kitty; balls with bells in them are his favourite and he is partial to catnip toys. He would probably enjoy being your one and only “love“ and get all the attention himself. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622.

Michel Dubord of St. John’s Anglican Church is retiring this summer, with his last service being on Sunday, Aug. 7. Rev. Michel and his wife Kathy will be establishing a new home near Perth.

1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the St. John’s Anglican Church hall, with everyone welcome to attend…..Richmond artist Kat McClure can be heard singing a lot these days. It all stems from the fact that she is being visited by a seven month old grandchild and she finds that she is always singing to this grandchild. The singing just carries on in other aspects of her life. For instance, when she was helping to hang the latest art exhibition for the West Ottawa Arts Association at the gallery in the lobby area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex last Saturday, she burst into

The U10 Wild West ringette team has found its colour – gold. This ringette team dominated the recent Capital Cup Ringette Tournament in Ottawa, going undefeated to win the gold medals. And then the team went on to win the Golden Cup at the Kingston Prospects Invitational Tournament played on the weekend of June 10-12. But this was not an easy victory. The Wild West team was undefeated once again going into the final championship game but fell behind 2-0 in this title match. But the girls battled back and ended up winning 3-2 in overtime, capturing the Golden Cup. This U10 Wild West ringette team is getting quite a reputation as a gang that is highly skilled in the ring arts of shooting, passing, stabbing, checking, scoring and saving, all traits which lead to an unquenchable thirst for trophies and gold medals.

Golfers wanted for charity tournament Special to the News

Stittsville residents Kaitlyn and Kyle Skinner are hosting the first annual Dynes Sports Management Charity Golf Tournament at Irish Hills Golf and Country Club on Carp Road on Saturday, July 23. All of the proceeds will be going to support two Ottawa charities, namely the Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa and Ausome Ottawa. The Boys & Girls Club, founded in 1923, provides barrier free programs to children and youth across the city of Ottawa in the areas of education, creative arts, physical activity and leadership. Ausome Ottawa is a newly formed charity aimed at enriching through sport the lives of families of youth living with autism. Kyle Skinner himself manages three Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa locations across the city, allowing him to see first hand the need for after-school programs for at-risk youth. Both Kyle and Kaitlyn regularly volunteer with Ausome Ottawa, allowing them to see the impact that its program has on local families. Some youth in the program require one-on-one support in order to take part in sports. Local leagues and camps usually cannot provide this support and so the Ausome Ottawa program is invaluable in providing these youth with an opportunity to be involved in sports., Kaitlyn and Kyle are currently looking for golfers, volunteers, sponsors and silent auction prize donors for this tournament. For more information, please visit www.dynessports.com or email tournaments@dynessports. com.

The sixth annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, July 16 at the Manderley On The Green Golf Club near North Gower. Funds raised will go to support the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation. For more information on participating in the tournament or being a tournament sponsor or prize donor, please email jaybclassic@gmail.com or call Renee Bilodeau at 613-838-4648. Stittsville fibre artist Frances Taylor will be presenting a free needle felting demonstration on Saturday, July 16 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Crabtree & Evelyn store at the Tanger Outlet Mall. Everyone is welcome to drop in,

especially those who would like to learn about the machine needle felting technique that Frances has developed. Those who attend will also be eligible for a draw for needle-felted broaches. Frances’ art is mostly needle-felted using wool, silk and other fibres as well as hand embroidery to add fine details. A “Paging Dr. Dolittle” family craft day will be held on Sunday, July 17 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville.

Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament coming up Jeff Maquire Special to the News

Fastball fans in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario are in for a treat July 22-24 when the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament is staged at Carp Fairgrounds. It’s expected that 10 top-flight men’s teams from Ontario, Quebec and the northern United States will vie for the title with action beginning Friday night July 22 and continuing all weekend on two diamonds. The championship final is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 24. Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read and his cousin Al Read are once again part of the 10 member organizing committee. Committee members Adam Brown and Cory Morrison are in charge of recruiting teams and organizing the competition itself. Last year the Kanata Storm, an Ottawa club who were not among the pre-tournament favourites, were the surprise winners of the fastpitch showdown. Storm blanked Elmira Expos from southwestern Ontario 7-0 in the title game to ring up an impressive 5-1 overall record in the 10-team competition.

Once again all proceeds will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. Last year’s finalists are not in the lineup this year but there are several returning entries led by local favourites West Carleton Electric of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL). Another GOFL entry who is returning to the competition this year is Micksburg Twins. The upper Ottawa Valley side won the 2014 tournament title in Carp but chose not to participate last July. This season Micksburg is battling Kars Aces for first place in the GOFL. Although Kars Aces aren’t on the tournament team list, the village will be represented in the competition with the Kars Juniors having signed on this time around. Another area team taking part is Ottawa Valley A’s from GOFL. Two teams who made it to the semi-finals in the Gil Read showdown last season are returning.

Last year they were doubled 8-4 by eventual tournament winner Kanata in the semis. Also returning and aiming to take another step up the tournament ladder are Kingston Axemen. The Kingston team lost a 5-4 heartbreaker to Elmira in the other semi-final contest in Carp last year. The province of Quebec will once again be represented by a tournament team nicknamed the Quebec Juniors. Included are members of Quyon Flyers who are currently third in the GOFL standings. Also among the Eastern Ontario clubs who have entered this year’s competition is Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets. Broker 4 was semifinalists in 2014, losing to eventual tournament winners Micksburg by a close 2-0 score. Napanee is a fastball hotbed and teams from the town are perennial entries in the Gil

Read tournament. This time Napanee Intermediates are hoping to carry the silverware back to the north shore of Lake Ontario. Once again all of the games will be played on the two diamonds at the Carp Fairgrounds which are considered among the finest fastball fields in the region. The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time men’s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. The Most Valuable Player award for the tournament is presented in memory of Joel Langford, a highly skilled Ottawa fastball player, who died unexpectedly last June at the tender age of 26. The first ever Gil Read Memorial tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008. The second event was held at the same venue the following year. Rising costs prompted organizers to seek another location. In summer 2010 they settled on the Carp Fairgrounds site in Carp. See $1,800, page 60

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back if necessary. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

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

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling. Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine. 0714
