Heritage Advocacy Award to Helene Rivest John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Helene Rivest is a long time member of the Goulbourn Museum and one of its active volunteers. And now she is also a recipient of the Museum’s Heritage Advocacy Award, its most prestigious honour for an individual. Helene, a Stittsville resident, was presented with the award at the Museum’s annual “Evening of Appreciation” for its members, volunteers and contributors which was held on Thursday, July 21. The Heritage Advocacy Award is presented annually by the Goulbourn Museum recognizing a person or persons who have made an outstanding contribution to the Museum. In making the presentation, Goulbourn Museum Board of Directors chair Keith Hobbs noted that Helene volunteers her time and expertise to the Museum in a variety of ways, ranging from assisting at special events to mending and organizing the Muse-

um’s costume collection to joining Museum staff in helping to judge the local Home School History Fair. She has also written testimonials advocating for the Museum. In announcing Helene as the recipient of the Museum’s Heritage Advocacy Award, chair Hobbs also noted Helene’s extensive volunteer efforts in other community endeavours as well. “Helene Rivest is a true advocate for both heritage and community,” he said, noting that her volunteer activities include not only the Goulbourn Museum but extend to the Stittsville Food Bank, the Stittsville Village Association, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, the Richmond Agricultural Society, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Ottawa Race Weekend and the Big Sisters organization. She is also involved with the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, the Royals junior hockey team and the Stittsville 56’ers ball team. Chair Hobbs also mentioned Helene’s support of the Kidney Foundation of Canada which has not only included participation in the local Kidney Walk in Stittsville but also has involved donating a kidney to a complete stranger two years ago. This came about when Stittsville resident Craig Dunbar needed a kidney transplant and Helene stepped forward as a possible donor but after testing was determined not to be a match for Craig. But she wanted to help so she and Craig became involved in the Living Donor Paired Exchange Program which connects incompatible pairs with compatible pairs and results in a chain of transplants. Through this program, she was able to donate a kidney to a complete stranger. Besides receiving the Heritage Advocacy Award plaque, Helene also received a bouquet of flowers as a JOHN CURRY/METROLAND gift of appreciation for her volunteer efforts with the Dancing to the music that was playing at the Evening of Goulbourn Museum.

A breeze rustled through the trees, providing a hint of cooling following the heat of a very hot day. Coloured pompoms hanging from some of the branches of the trees added a festive touch to the setting. In 2015, the Goulbourn Museum offered nearly 50 programs and workshops which attracted over 8,500 participants. In addition, nearly 2,500 visitors entered the Museum. Over 150 artefacts were donated to the Goulbourn Museum in 2015. These included a collection of Canadian Armed Forces artefacts spanning the career of Lt. Gordon Hagar, a Stittsville resident; a collection of Stittsville directories; the actual Potter’s Key which inspired the name of the new Minto Communities development in Stittsville; Red Cross knitting instructions for war work; and a collection of photographs of the last train passing through Stittsville, depicting a day in the life of the late Lorne Blackburn who was the engineer driving that last train. In the summer of 2015, several contributed to the cost of reproduction Nursing Sister uniforms for the Museum. See VOLUNTEERS, page 5

Some of the expenses were also covered by the World War Commemorations Community Fund which provided the Museum with the money to update the Museum’s Village Store exhibition, to create the new Healing Hands exhibition, to hire a project coordinator on a six-month contract and to prepare various presentations, games and interactive activities. The exhibition remains on view at the Museum. The Goulbourn Museum has a staff of three full time employees, one part time
employee and three summer contract staff. The Goulbourn Museum receives financial support from the city of Ottawa, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Service Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The Cheddar Shop in Carleton Place generously provided the burgers and buns for this year’s “Evening of Appreciation.” “I can tell you that thanks to the support we receive from all of you, the burdens of a busy site with a small team are certainly lightened and the days where we
have volunteers working shifts in the History Centre or at an event are certainly our favourite days of the week,” Kathryn Jamieson, who is the Curator Manager of the Goulbourn Museum, said in her remarks to those in attendance at the “Evening of Appreciation.” Among those in attendance at the “Evening of Appreciation” were former Museum Curator Manager Donna Keays-Hockey and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

‘At the Beach’ summer camp John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Last week was a hot one, so a good place to be was at the beach. And that’s just where the youngsters at the Merrily We Go Preschool summer camp in Stittsville were … “At the Beach.” But their beach was right at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville, which is the home of the Merrily We Go Preschool. So it was there that they played with beach balls and had other beach fun. And there was more than just “beach” fun at this summer camp. The youngsters aged three to five years of age enjoyed face painting and other activities such as crafts, story time and play time throughout the week-long camp. This “At the Beach” summer camp ran from Monday, July 18 to Friday, July 22 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon each day. Another Merrily We Go Preschool summer camp is being held from Monday,

OPINION

Sports will win over the world
I
t’s always easier to by cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation. And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil is certainly a challenging event. The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security. And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. That’s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition. Despite all the bad news, the stories of the individuals who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters. Athletes from here in Ottawa and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio. And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us. The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canada’s flag bearer at
the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use. MacLennan’s efforts and emotions – along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians – will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years. Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics they way want to. After all of the noise created by so many concerns has died down, athletes will once more find themselves alone with their thoughts, tensing muscles and saying silent prayers as they spend those last few seconds waiting for their turn to test their training and motivation. Any negativity encountered in Rio is just one more hurdle to sail over. Canadian athletes of every stripe will still compete with pride and passion when their moment comes.
Let’s stop telling kids the Internet is scary
W
hen it comes to managing our kids’ online lives, parents, teachers and other well-meaning adults may be taking the wrong approach. Since 2001, media literacy and education group MediaSmarts has been surveying parents and kids about attitudes toward online behaviour. Over time, they’ve seen a disturbing shift in views from both cohorts. The Internet, once seen as a positive educational tool, is now more often presented as a dangerous and scary place for kids to hang out. But by fear-mongering, we may be inadvertently disempowering our kids both online and offline. “What research suggests – including wide-ranging research in the U.K. – is that kids who are not given opportunities to take risks online don’t develop the safety skills they need and they don’t
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse develop resiliency,� says Matthew Johnson, director of education at MediaSmarts. “That means when things do go wrong, they don’t know what to do and it affects them more strongly and more negatively.� Research also suggests that parents who spy on their kids – constantly monitoring their online behaviour – are actually putting their kids at greater overall risk. “Kids who think they’re under constant surveillance are not going to go to their parents when they get into trouble,� says Johnson. Fear-based media, government and educational campaigns geared
at teaching kids about real risks like cyberbullying and privacy are also having the opposite intended effect, says Johnson. “Most efforts by governments at all levels to address these issues have been framed in negative, punitive context, relying on scare tactics, all of which are elements that we know make youth tune them out,� Johnson told the audience at the Canadian Internet Forum in Ottawa last month. Girls are disproportionately more likely than boys to feel that the online world is dangerous for them, which is having the simultaneous effect of excluding girls – and women—from the tech world and the larger digital economy. “There are a lot of online spaces that can be unfriendly to girls,� says Johnson. “But we also know these spaces – the gaming world for example – can be important gateways to (the acquisition of) technology

skills. When we give girls the idea that the online world is unsafe, they’re not even going to try to get into these spaces.� There are a number of ways parents can better empower their kids and make them safer online. For young children, says Johnson, it is a good idea to curate what they’re doing online, ideally sitting down with them to explore and use the Internet. As they age, set clear rules about acceptable and unacceptable online behaviour. “Our research found that in homes where rules about expected online behaviour had been established – sharing of personal contact information, insulting someone – kids were less likely to engage in negative behaviours online.� Johnson says it’s also important to let kids know that they “have the right to be safe online� and not subject to harassment, whether it’s in a gaming forum or on social EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $VSSZ KPIO DVSSZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +PIO #SVNNFMM KPIO CSVNNFMM!NFUSPMBOE DPN
media. Kids should be free to pursue their interests and socialize in order to navigate these risks for themselves, says Johnson, and ultimately, they should feel they can trust the adults in their lives to help them – not blame or punish them – when something goes wrong.

Richmond Legion donates $1,200 to day hospice John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Richmond day hospice of Hospice Care Ottawa has received a helping hand from the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion. This help came in the form of a donation of $1,200 which was delivered by Richmond Legion president Jane Louks to the day hospice at St. John’s Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street in Richmond at its BBQ on Thursday, July 21. This donation will fund a full day of programming at the day hospice for 15 guests. This will cover snacks and coffee or tea on arrival; a homemade hot lunch; music therapy, art therapy supplies; the resources of a nurse coordinator and a volunteer co-

ordinator; and helping with a portion of the costs associated with the use of the facility. This day hospice program at St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Richmond happens every Thursday as a result of a partnership between Hospice Care Ottawa and St. John’s Anglican Church. This day hospice program is designed, like other day hospice programs of Hospice Care Ottawa, for clients living with a life threatening or life-limiting illness, providing them with a day out of the home in a supportive and friendly environment. The safety and comfort of clients is assured thanks to the presence of a Hospice Care Ottawa support care nurse as well as a team of Hospice Care Ottawa volunteers, some of whom are from St. John’s Anglican Church. A home cooked lunch, camaraderie, conversation, laughter and activities like euchre are some of the reasons why this day hospice program, like others hosted by Hospice Care Ottawa, are so popular with clients. Transportation with a volunteer driver can be arranged to pick up guests in the morning and take them home in the afternoon. The day is filled with an array of different activities including a therapeutic art program, special guest presentations and games. During the spring, summer and fall at this day hospice in Richmond, guests have the opportunity to spent time in the Quiet Garden outside the church hall on the church property. This day hospice program is also beneficial in allowing regular caregivers to have a day of respite from caring for their loved ones. This day hospice program at St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Richmond has been operating since 2007.

Lightning outside, musical fireworks inside John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
There was lightning in the sky outside while the duo of Robert Wannell and Caelan Roberge-Toll was lighting it up inside the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday evening, July 22. The jazz duo had just started their second set at 8 p.m. when lightning could be seen in the sky out the coffee shop window which forms the backdrop for its Friday music evening performers. There even was a clap of thunder or two and rain but this outside weather did not distract from the musical fireworks which the pair was creating within the walls of the coffee shop itself. The pair presented a program of jazz standards along with one original song by Rob Wannell. And while you can’t go wrong performing jazz standards, you definitely can’t go wrong when you are two such talented musicians as Rob and Caelan. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Rob Wannell, a product of Nepean All set to perform at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville High School and its music program, demon July 22 are jazz guitarist Robert Wannell, left, and saxophonist Caelan Roberge-Toll, onstrated a stunning dexterity with his guiright. tar while Caelan Roberge-Toll’s saxophone offerings showed his special feel for jazz music.

Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and the Mills Brothers; “Night and Day,” perhaps the most popular song by American composer and songwriter Cole Porter, which was written in 1932 for the musical “Gay Divorce” and went on to be recorded by many singers, even becoming one of Fred Astaire’s signature songs; “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” a 1930 song which has been played by such jazz luminaries as Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton and Count Basie and recorded by a host of stars such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Doris Day and Judy Garland; “Body and Soul,” a 1930 song that is considered the most recorded jazz standard of all time; and “It Could Happen To You,” a 1944 song that has also been recorded by an array of singers such as Peggy Lee, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams and Nat King Cole. Each song inevitably included a solo flourish by guitarist Rob Wannell, generating a burst of applause from the audience on its completion. Indeed, perhaps the lightning in the sky outside was simply Mother Nature’s way of applauding the performance by this jazz duo – who knows?

Heritage tea at Dining Hall in Richmond on Aug. 21 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
You now don’t have to go to the Chateau Laurier to enjoy an elaborate tea. There’s going to be one right in Stittsville. A heritage tea is being held at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds on Sunday, Aug. 21, beginning at 12 noon. Proceeds are going to the Richmond Agricultural Society’s repair fund for the fairgrounds. This will be a full sit down tea event, just like the high tea for which the Chateau Laurier has become famous over the years. There will be real tea pots and fine china used, with sandwiches and lots of yummy goodies.
Those attending are being given the option of dressing up for the occasion, with prizes to be given for the best dressed and the best hat. There will also be numerous door prizes as well as a raffle draw with prizes up for grabs. But if you are thinking that you would like to attend, you had better act quickly as there is only limited seating in the Dining Hall, meaning that only 100 tickets are being sold for this heritage tea. Tickets are being sold on a first come, first served basis at a cost of $35 per person which includes a $20 income tax receipt. Tickets can be obtained by contacting organizer Carol Demjan at 613-838-9342. And, in addition, you know that this is going to be a super event, well worth at-
tending, because Carol is getting lots of advice and help from Jean Fraser who with her husband Richard and friend Maxine Gaddye along with a host of volunteers organized and hosted a “Luncheon with a Victorian Flair” for 12 years, ending last year with a luncheon at the Alfred Taylor Community Centre in North Gower that attracted 325 ladies who enjoyed a luncheon of sandwiches, goodies and even wine served by male servers, all in support of the Canadian Spinal Research Organization. Before Christmas, Carol had run into Jean while shopping and asked her what was involved in hosting such a tea as she was thinking about holding one at the Dining Hall in support of the Richmond Agricultural Society. Jean immediately offered to help and since then has been providing
advice and ideas for this upcoming heritage tea. It is quite an undertaking and having Jean’s experience and advice is priceless. There’s the preparation of the food, there’s decorating the hall appropriately, and all the other details to make this a memorable event, just like the “Luncheon with a Victorian Flair” events and just like the high tea at the Chateau Laurier. Carol has already enlisted some of the men of the Fair Board such as president Ian Stackhouse to be servers at the tea. With all the prizes that will be available, the hats and clothing to be worn and the tea, sandwiches and goodies that will be served, this promises to be a tea event that you will not want to miss. So phone for that ticket or tickets right away – they are bound to go quickly! EARN up to 3 bonus RBC Rewards points per dollar and EARN even when you REDEEM, only with CWT.

Oswego squad wins Jeff Maguire Special to the News
Caleb Keeshig capped an MVP performance, hurling a shutout in the championship game as CPI Classics from Oswego, New York won the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp on Sunday.
Dynes Sports Management Charity Golf Tournament
Connected to your community
Oswego edged Micksburg Twins 1-0 in the final as Keeshig outdueled veteran Twins’ pitcher Joran Graham. In the process CPI Classics (they are named for their sponsor Cutro Professional Inspections) became the first team from the United States to win the nine-year-old Gil Read competition. Catcher Greg Casbeer drove in the game’s only run with a double in the second inning. Past winners of the tournament include six teams from Ontario and two from Quebec. The fastball showdown is staged at Carp Fairgrounds in rural west Ottawa each July. The final victory was the Oswego team’s second, one run triumph of the weekend versus Micksburg. They also
defeated Twins, who play in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) 2-1 in round-robin action Saturday. That win too was behind the strong pitching of Keeshig. Last July, in their first appearance at the Gil Read, the New York State side lost 8-4 in the semi-finals to eventual tournament winner Kanata Storm. This year, behind the power pitching of Keeshig and an offence that rang up 29 runs in six games, they came away with the trophy and $1,800 in prize money. Keeshig went the distance on the hill in the semi-final and final, ringing up a remarkable 14 innings of work in backto-back contests. He was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Keeshig is the second winner of the Joel Langford
Memorial Trophy. All proceeds from the tournament go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The organization assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time men’s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. Anyone interested in the Gil Read tournament or those wishing to make a donation to this very worthwhile cause can reach Chris by telephone at 613-2927379 or contact him by email at: chris@ canadiandad.com.

Interior designer involved with library’s ‘new look’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The new look of the interior of the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library did not just “happen.” It was the result of interior designer Julia Cullinan working in collaboration with library staff to plan and oversee the recent renovations and improvements which have given a new wide open and fresh look to the interior of the Stittsville library branch. Julia works at the Ottawa office of HOK, a design, architecture, engineering and planning firm with offices on three continents which was hired by the Ottawa Public Library for this Stittsville library project. She has worked previously with the Ottawa Public Library on improvements at the Manotick, Carp and downtown Rideau Street library branches. She points out that the new trend in libraries is to open up the space, making it more welcoming. This was certainly accomplished in the Stittsville library project, with the interior looking much more spacious and wide open as a result of the re-arrangement of furniture and shelving, along with the elimination of the previous long circulation desk with its massive ceiling bulkhead that darkened rather than opening up the space. The new circulation desk is smaller and
relocated to be clearly visible to those walking through the entrance doors. It’s right there in front of them, across a patch of open space. Overhead at this new desk are three lights which illuminate the desk area. The replacement of the carpet in the library branch was a major part of the renovation/improvement work undertaken in this project. Julia notes that replacing the carpet made a big difference to the look inside the library branch, adding a fresh new look to the premises, a look that entices people to enter and enjoy the space. The shelving at the Stittsville library branch was re-organized in the project so that the shelving now runs parallel with the long width of the building, giving a more flowing and open feel. Library staff provided a lot of input regarding the placement of the shelving in this “new look” arrangement. Julia admits to being pleased with how the project turned out, with the library branch now sporting a more open feel to it. She says that she loves working in collaboration with the Ottawa Public Library staff like she did on this Stittsville project. General contractor for the project was Braun Construction which HOK had worked with on revamping the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library. HOK has had an Ottawa office since
the year 2000.With over 60 years of design and innovation work, HOK tries to design projects to enrich people’s lives and help organizations succeed. HOK has 1,800
staff across a network of 23 offices on three continents. See HOK RANKED, page 19

Mayor’s Report
LANSDOWNE PARK By: Mayor Jim Watson
City Council recently received its annual report on the Lansdowne Park partnership, and it contains some very good news for Ottawa residents. It shows that the site was visited by over 2.5 million last year, and that over 1,000 jobs have been created at Lansdowne in the shops, arena, restaurants, stadium and on the grounds. It also shows how popular and successful the Horticulture Building has become, with hundreds of events taking place each year, many of which are charity and non profit activities.
‘93 Corvette at Stittsville Barber Shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It’s over 20 years old but it still turns heads and draws admiring glances. You only had to travel along Stittsville Main Street last week and see the yellow 1993 Chevrolet Corvette parked at the Stittsville Barber Shop to experience the lure and attraction of this classic sports car. This yellow sports car, parked right beside the street at the Stittsville Barber Shop, is owned by Steve Baroud who with fellow barber Rick Plamondon opened the new Stittsville Barber Shop at
1549 Stittsville Main Street in late June. Indeed, people were even dropping into the barber shop last week, attracted by this eyecatching Corvette parked virtually at the foot of the barber shop’s sign along Stittsville Main Street. Seven generations of the Chevrolet Corvette have been manufactured since the model was first introduced by General Motors in 1953. The car gets its name from the small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. This yellow 1993 Corvette displayed at the Stittsville Barber Shop is considered the fourth generation of the Corvette, covering the years 1984 to 1996.
This generation of the sports car marked the first complete re-design of the vehicle since 1963. There were 21,590 vehicles produced of the 1993 Corvette. All in all, up until 2015, a total of 1,595,026 Corvettes have been manufactured. The various generations of the Chevrolet Corvette are as follows: First generation 1953-1962; Second generation 1963-1967; Third generation 1968-1982; Fourth generation 1984-1996; Fifth generation 1997-2004; Sixth generation 2005-2013; and Seventh generation 2014-present. See YELLOW CORVETTE, page 21
The popular Farmers’Market continues to grow, with the addition of the very popular Christmas markets held in the Aberdeen Pavilion in December. I am pleased to report we have also signed a new lease with our Farmers to ensure they have continued stability. The retail component is now 97% leased, and it’s great to see so many people enjoying dinner on one of the many patios throughout the Park. On the Canal side of the park, I always marvel at the amount of new green space and trees that have been added to the public areas. Whether its kids playing in the park, or skateboarding or just tossing a Frisbee around the Great Lawn, the Park is now really a Park! The fruit trees and apple orchard are now bearing fruit, and the community gardens beside the Horticulture building are fully utilized. The skating court was open more than 100 days last season, as well. Financially, the plan sees the City receiving a dividend of over $32 million over the life of the agreement. What a change from Lansdowne, complete with its rundown building and acres of asphalt costing taxpayers $3-4 million in losses each year! All of the doom and gloom that Glebe grocery stores would close hasn’t happened, or that traffic would be a nightmare on game days, really has not materialized. Yes, there is more traffic at the site, but OSEG has worked with the community to minimize this with their agreement with OC Transpo and operating shuttle services. Sadly, some on council continue to fight the deal, but they just can’t seem to accept that we have a great success on our hands. (Ironically, some of those same opponents were happy to rush to have their picture taken during the grand opening and plaque unveiling!) So after decades of indecision and dithering, we have transformed this important city asset from a pavement jungle into a work, live, play destination that is serving our community well.

Yellow Corvette Continued from page 20
The fourth generation Chevrolet Corvette, like this one that can be seen at the Stittsville Barber Shop, is considered one of the most desirable sports cars in America, even though the last fourth generation vehicle was produced in 1996. This generation of the Corvette represented a clean break from the previous generations with a completely new chassis and a modern, sleeker styling for which it has become well known. The recently opened Stittsville Barber Shop on Stittsville Main Street is planning a
grand opening in September. Watch for it! Barbers Steve Baroud and Rick Plamondon, who have a combined 55 years of experience, invited everyone to drop in to see their new barber shop. There’s lot of parking on site. And if the yellow Corvette is on display that day, you can take a close up look at the classic vehicle. It’s not every day that you get to see one up close! The Stittsville Barber Shop is open from Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

What’s up, doc, around Stittsville? One of the 150th anniversary events being held by St. Thomas Anglican Church this year is a day trip by car to Kingston on Saturday, Aug. 13, including coffee stops along the way, lunch and a guided tour of St. George Cathedral Church in Kingston. From its founding in 1866 to 1896, St. Thomas Anglican Church was part of the diocese of Ontario rather than the present day Diocese of Ottawa and as such, St. George’s Cathedral in Kingston was the mother church for St. Thomas. This upcoming day trip, which is now fully booked, will include lunch at the Fort Henry Historic Site as well as guided tours of St. George’s Cathedral and Kingston city hall…. Lois ‘n Frimas Ice Cream, which has an ice cream parlour in Stittsville, has a connection with the Ottawa Champions this season as it is the vendor for the sale of ice cream at Ottawa Champions home games at the Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park in Ottawa.

This season the Ottawa Champions played a series of home games against the Cuban National Team and also had games against a team of all-stars from a Japanese ball league. This is a big year for Lois ‘n Frimas Ice Cream as it marked the 30th anniversary of its outlet in the Byward Market in downtown Ottawa on Sunday, July 10. Lois ‘n Frimas Ice Cream has been operating in the Ottawa area for 34 years now. In Stittsville, Lois ‘n Frimas opened for the season in mid-March after being shut down for the winter months.

Funds raised will go to help the Heart and Stroke Foundation in its work to prevent heart disease and also to fund the development of life saving treatments. The Heart and Stroke Foundation invests millions each year in life saving heart disease and stroke research in Canada. In addition, funds are used to place thousands of life saving automated external defibrillators in communities across Canada, increasing the chances for someone surviv-
ing a cardiac arrest….

Homeowners across the City of Ottawa began receiving their property assessment notices last week from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Here are some important facts about that assessment. Assessments are issued every four years by MPAC, which is an independent, not-for-profit corporation, funded by all Ontario municipalities. It’s not part of the City government and it’s not part of the provincial government. However, it was created by the Provincial Government with the passing of the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation Act in 1997. The new notices are only for homes that are classified solely as residential. So, if you live in a home that is part of a different or combined tax class, your notices will be mailed by MPAC later this fall. The assessed value of your home as of January 1, 2016 will be used to calculate your property tax bill between 2017 and 2020, but it won’t be the only factor. Other factors are the City’s spending priorities and tax policy, both of which are set each year by City Council. The City does not receive any extra revenue as a result of new property assessments. The average residential property assessment in Ottawa has increased an average of 3.45 per cent in this most recent four-year cycle. Province-wide, the average is 18 per cent. The average for Eastern Ontario is 5 per cent. Assessment increases are phased in over each four-year period. To put that into perspective, the average assessment increase in Ottawa in 2012 was 25.98%. The average in Rideau-Goulbourn in 2012 was 21%, which was below the City average. In 2016, however, Rideau-Goulbourn is near the top of the averages at 5.34%, still well below the increase from 2012. In comparison, the average increase in Toronto is 40%. A property assessment, as determined by MPAC, that shows a property value increasing by more than the 3.45-per-cent average increase across Ottawa, will trigger an assessment-related tax increase before factoring in any budgetary implications. With the average increase being so low, and phased in over four years, any increases won’t likely be significant. Any decreases will be imposed right away. It is also important to note that just because your assessment went up, your taxes may not. If your home’s assessment is lower than the 3.45-per-cent average Ottawa increase, this will likely result in an assessment-related tax decrease on your property tax bill. If your assessment increase is right around the average, there will be no noticeable change. If you don’t agree with the new property assessment notice you receive, you have until November 18th to file a Request for Reconsideration. Again, the Request for Reconsideration is done through MPAC, not through the City or Province. For more information about your assessment, contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation at 1-888-296-6722. You can also use their online contact form at www.mpac.ca. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
July 28th, 2016 Municipal Property Assessments Hello residents, This past Monday, Provincial Property Assessments were mailed out to all residential land-owners. As you may know, properties are reassessed every four years as required by Provincial legislation prior to property taxes. In establishing a property’s assessed value, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) analyzes sales of comparable properties in the area and five major factors which make up 85% of residential values. These factors are (in order): location, lot dimensions, living area, age of property, and quality of construction. The reassessment period runs from January 1st 2012 - January 1st 2016. As of January 2016, this assessment period saw an average growth in Ottawa property values of 3.45%. It is important to note that as property values influx, the total taxes collected by the City remains the same. What this means is that while the City of Ottawa averages a 3.45% growth in property value, those whose property values are consistent with the City’s growth should not see a tax impact. Alternatively, those who fall below the line should see a tax decrease and those who are above may see an increase. A full breakdown of the property growth by ward is available on my website. Within the 23 City of Ottawa wards during this assessment period, Stittsville has seen the third largest average growth in value (+5.03% compared to Kitchissippi at +7.35% and Rideau Goulbourn at + 5.34%). This is primarily due to the number of larger properties such as single family, semi-detached, and townhomes in the area which have averaged a growth of 4.6% in property value in the City. Alternatively, condo owners may see an overall decrease in value of approximately 5%. In general, the City of Ottawa’s average property value growth is significantly lower than the province-wide growth average of 18%. Representatives of MPAC clarified that this is primarily due to the abnormally large growth occurring in the Greater Toronto Area with an increase which falls between 30-40%. If, when reviewing your property assessment, you feel that your property has been assessed incorrectly, you are encouraged to ask yourself the question “Could I have sold this property on January 1st 2016 for this amount?” If you feel that the answer remains no, property-owners have 120 days from the date of issue (November 15th 2016) to file a Request for Reconsideration. Look for the AboutMyProperty access key on your assessment form and visit www.aboutmyproperty.ca. You can also call 1-866-296-MPAC (6722). It is a good reflection of Stittsville as a whole to know that property values are increasing at a faster rate than other parts of the city; I believe that this is truly an indicator of good things to come and I look forward to seeing how things change by the next assessment period. Wyldewood Park Play Structure Poll Results The results are in! With a majority of 66% of your votes, the community has decided on the Wyldewood Park Play Structure will be Option B – the Nature theme. I personally liked both concepts and find the nature theme does go well with the park name. I support this option going forward and look forward to the next steps for this project. As updates such as final approval and construction timelines arise, I will be providing them to the community in my e-column. Please stay tuned and thank you for participating in this process. To view both of the voted-on options, please visit www.shadqadri.com. Fernbank Entrance Sign Poll Results Residents have voted and amongst the four potential Fernbank Entrance Features, 54% of you have selected Option 3 (Option 2 received 21% of the vote, Option 4 received 16% and Option 1 had 9%). I liked all options and Option 3 certainly stood out for many residents; as such, I approve of this decision. I would like to thank all residents for taking the time to play a role in this planning process. As updates arise such as final approval and construction timelines, I will be certain to include them within my weekly electronic column. Please stay tuned. To view the winning voted-on option and the three alternatives, please visit www.shadqadri.com. 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.

The assessment increase for properties in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward is 5.34 percent which is 1.89 percent more than the city-wide average of 3.45 percent. What this means is that properties that see an assessment increase above the city average will see an increase in taxes.

MPAC ever four years as required by provincial legislation. In establishing a property’s assessed value, MPAC analyzes sales of comparable properties in the area along with five major factors including location, lot dimensions, living area, age of property and quality of construction. Although property values change due to this re-assessment process, the total taxes collected by the city remains the same unless there is an increase in the tax rate. What this means is that while the city of Ottawa averages a 3.45 percent growth in property value overall, those whose property values are consistent with this growth will not see any tax change. However, those who fall below the city average will see a tax decrease while those who are above the city average will see an increase. Property owners will have until Nov. 15, 2016 to file a request for reconsideration if it is felt that the new assessment is not correct. The best way to determine this is to ask yourself the question: “Could I have sold this property on Jan. 1, 2016 for this amount?”

Queensway Carleton Hospital gala Barn dance on Aug. 6 at Saunders Farm on Sept. 16th Special to the News
John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Today the Queensway Carleton Hospital is the only full-service community hospital in the West Ottawa area, offering a diversity of medical and surgical programs and services. Employing over 1,900 health care staff, the 264 bed hospital has a focus on several cornerstone programs
– Emergency, Childbirth, Geriatrics, Mental Health, Rehabilitation, Medical and Surgical Services and Critical Care Services.

A 17 member Board of Directors provides governance to the Queensway Carleton Hospital on behalf of the residents of the community. The Board is chaired by Bob Davis with three vice-chairs – Judie Leach Bennett, Cathy Frederick and Linda Hunter.
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 Richmond Agricultural Society at 613-298-0249. Barns 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.”

Quilts wanted for show at Richmond Fair Basketball Special to the News
Calling all quilters! The Richmond Fair is looking for quilts to be exhibited in the Homecraft Section’s quilt show at this year’s Fair. The quilt committee is encouraging all quilters to consider entering a quilt or two in the Fair and help make the show even better than it was last year when there was a tremendous show involving 65 items. It is hoped that quilters from all over the area will enter quilts in the show. There are categories for all kinds of quilts, techniques and skill levels – hand quilted, machine quilted and applique. Traditional designs, modern designs, wall hangings and even wearable art are all welcome. The quilt committee would especially like to encourage submissions from young quilters as there are categories for quilts by those under 12 years of age and also those from 12 to 16 years of age. And, remember, there is no entry fee for either of these categories.
There will be prizes and ribbons given out and even some special sponsored prizes presented in this year’s quilt show at the Fair. Sponsors include The Country Quilter, Mad About Patchwork, The Running Stitch, The Pickle Dish, The Quilting Quarters, Textile Traditions, Quirks and Quilts, Kanata Quilt Guild, Westboro Animal Hospital and Balance Chiropractic and Massage. Entries can be submitted online in August and at the Fair office at the

I run a small business and I have several small contracts that I am currently in the process of negotiating. Are these worth bringing to a lawyer for review? Depending on the type of contract, there are a number of areas a lawyer’s expertise can provide guidance, including contracts relating to employment or contractor relationships, borrowing and secured transactions, equipment leases, and other commercial agreements. Simply because a document is short, this does not mean there aren’t important clauses or terms that require careful consideration.
these implications is crucial and one of the services a lawyer can provide. A lawyer can meet with you for a short consultation in order to review your contractual document and answer any questions you might have. By communicating to the lawyer your expectations of the proposed contract, a lawyer can work with you to achieve your goals as well as highlight and help you understand risks and liabilities that you or your business may be taking on as part of the contract.
Contracts often contain important clauses relating to the limitation of liability, indemnification, and the waiver of important legal rights. Such clauses can have legal and financial implications for you or your business down the road. Understanding

Both a volunteer and a racer John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Stephanie Berg is both a volunteer and a participant in the upcoming Capital Karting Grand Prix at Karter’s Korner. The 28 year old Stittsville resident is a volunteer involved in organizing this year’s second annual event but she’s also a participant who will be competing in the gokart racing, returning to the sport after an eight year absence. Those involved in organizing this year’s two-day Capital Karting Grand Prix at Karter’s Korner just south of Stittsville have been meeting on a weekly basis for several months to organize the event and follow up on last year’s successful inaugural event which drew an estimated 3,000 spectators, saw over 60 go-kart racers compete in various categories and raised $35,000 for several charities thanks to the Mayor’s Cup of Races Charity Challenge Team Races. Stephanie, a former kart racer herself, attended last year’s event and despite being out of the sport for eight years, found herself right at home again at what was her “home” track when she was racing. She found the Mayor’s Cup of Races charity fundraiser races amazing along with the whole event, so she volunteered and offered to help with this year’s event. In addition, she also now volunteers as well with the National Capital Karting Club, her former karting club, where she looks after website updates. And she is enthusiastically promoting spectator attendance at this year’s event, saying that if you have never been to a kart racing event, this is the one that

you should attend. Not only is it free, there’s some of the top kart racers who will be competing. But even more than this, there will be activities for children, making it a real fun family event. And then there’s the Mayor’s Cup of Races in which teams of volunteers representing various businesses and organizations will race to raise money for a number of charities, hoping to top the $35,000 raised last year. Cheering them on in their karting quest will make you feel like you’re riding along with them in that go-kart! “This is an event to attend,” Stephanie says, noting that it is taking place at Karter’s Korner at the intersection of Huntley Road and Fallowfield Road, “just up the road” from Stittsville. But for Stephanie, this Capital Karting Grand Prix on Saturday, Aug. 6 and Sunday, Aug. 7 is more than just a volunteer opportunity. It has also lured her back to the sport of go-kart racing. Stephanie grew up in Carp and after she was taken go-karting by her stepdad Keith Riddell, her dirt bike was sold and a go kart was purchased and Stephanie became a kart racer, with Keith serving as her pit crew. In 2008, her last year of racing, she garnered her first-ever first place finish as well as a second place finish, racing as the only girl against a field of boys. However, after the 2008 season, she focussed on schooling, studying marketing and website design which has led to her career as a client administrator with mortgage broker Jill Craig. But her schooling and getting established in a career left her no time or, for that matter, money to continue with her kart racing. But now, with her career in place and with a home in Stittsville, Stephanie is returning to the go-kart track.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Stephanie Berg of Stittsville, wearing her go-kart racing suit, stands in front of a giant poster banner publicizing the upcoming Capital Karting Grand Prix at Karter’s Korner in Goulbourn on the weekend of Aug. 6/7. Stephanie not only is volunteering with the organizing of the event but also will be racing in the event. She still has her go kart and this past winter she cleaned it all up and got it in working order again. “I feel very hands on with the go kart,” she says as she is familiar with the mechanical workings of the kart. And she still has advice and help from her stepdad Keith who will once again be her pit crew. So Stephanie will be on the track at Karter’s Korner for this year’s Capital Karting Grand Prix, taking part in the practice sessions on the Saturday and then racing on the Sunday. “I’m super excited,” she says about the upcoming Aug. 6/7 weekend. She realizes that she will be up against some great kart racers in the event but perhaps her knowledge of her former “home track” will play to her advantage. She calls Karter’s Korner a “tricky track” with one end of the circuit being what she
calls “grippy” with lots of traction for the kart while the other end tends to be slippery. She says that these two extremes make it tricky to get the right setup conditions for the kart. She notes as well that the Karter’s Korner track has lots of corners, making it a technical challenge as well. “It has everything,” she says about the track. Stephanie says that knowing the track will make a difference, particularly in how the kart is set up for the racing, such as what gears to run and what tire pressures to use. “I love go karting,” she says, adding that she feels very much like part of a family when she is with other racers because although they compete against each other on the track, they are all helpful and friendly with each other off the track.

into stock car racing at Capital City Speedway in Stittsville which closed last year. Indeed, her stepdad Keith Riddell raced Thunder Cars at Capital City and Stephanie would attend whenever she could. She even got to driver Keith’s Thunder Car around the track there, just reinforcing her passion for racing. “There’s something about going somewhere where there is no speed limit,” she says – no stop signs, where she can go as fast as she wants. Keith, by the way, is now racing at the Brockville Speedway. Stephanie, both as a volunteer and as a kart racer, is looking forward to the upcoming Capital Karting Grand Prix at Karter’s Korner on the weekend of Aug. 6/7. She says that there has been a lot of positive feedback from last year’s inaugural event and after last year’s success, the event is now positioned to grow in this and succeeding years. She notes that with significant prize money being offered for the kart racers and with increased awareness due to a video made at last year’s event and exposure on Facebook where lots of views are being registered, this year’s event will be an event that should not be missed – and, remember, it is free for spectators thanks to the involvement and generosity of corporate sponsors. The charity partners associated with the Mayor’s Cup of Races at this year’s Capital Karting Grand Prix are the Children’s Wish Foundation, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, Roger’s House, Soldier On and Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The Children’s Wish Foundation is a Canadian charity that grants a JASON BOLTON PHOTO wish of a child diagnosed with a lifeStephanie Berg takes a victory lap holding the threatening illness. Stephanie describes herself as a “consistent” racer, admitting that she could probably push the cart to its limit a little more than she does. “I need to work on pushing the kart in the corners,” she says. However, consistency does have its benefits because she does not often make any mistakes in her driving and, as her last year of racing back in 2008 showed, it brings regular results as she was usually among the top five finishers in races that season. Stephanie is hoping to land a sponsor so that she can race a full season next year. Sponsors are necessary because of the expenses involved – a tire, for instance, can cost $250. This year Stephanie is not only using her 15 year old kart but she will be racing on her 2008 tires. But she is optimistic about her chances on the track, as she hopes to finish in the top third in her class. With some of the top competitive kart racers at the event, she knows that this will be a challenge but she feels that now as a 28 year old, she is a lot more focussed than she was as a 20 year old back in 2008 and she has more confidence in herself as a person and as a driver. This enhanced focus plus good practice sessions before the race should help her achieve her goal. Stephanie, who also plays softball and has played soccer, was initially going to move from kart racing

Almost deja vu for 56’ers John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was almost like deja vu all over again for the Stittsville 56’ers and Kars Aces of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL). But unfortunately for the Stittsville 56’ers, history did not repeat itself as a last inning comeback fizzled and the Kars Aces won the GOFL game on Wednesday, July 20 by a 5-2 score. This had not been the case in the previous game between the two GOFL teams on Wednesday, June 29 when the 56’ers staged a last inning comeback to tie the game 4-4. In this June 29th game, Kars was ahead 4-1 and on the way to a victory with two out and nobody
on base in the seventh inning. Indeed, the 56’ers were down to their final strike when the improbable happened as the 56’ers erupted for three runs to tie the game 4-4. The same almost happened in the game on Wednesday, July 29 as Stittsville, down 5-2 in the game, loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh inning but could not drive these runners home to tie the game. Kars ended up winning by a 5-2 score. This game at Alexander Grove in Stittsville saw the visiting Kars Aces jump out into a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a two run homer by Nick Ellis off 56’ers hurler Adam Smith. Stittsville scored one run in the bottom of the third inning to
make it 2-1 but Kars struck for two more runs in the top of the fourth inning to make the score 4-1. Stittsville loaded the bases with only one out in the bottom of the fifth inning but could only score one run. Kars scored its fifth run of the game in the top of the seventh inning, making it 5-2 and setting up Stittsville’s last inning but unsuccessful comeback attempt. The Stittsville 56’ers travelled to Quyon on Thursday, July 21 to play the hometown Quyon Flyers but it was not a good week for the 56’ers as the visitors lost 4-1 to the Flyers. Kyle Olson took the loss on the mount for the 56’ers. The only run scored by the 56’ers came on a solo
home run by Scott Jessiman. The Greater Ottawa Fastball League this season has seven teams including the Stittsville 56’ers and Kars Aces. Other teams are West Carleton Electric, Quyon Flyers, 14C Victory, Micksburg Twins and Ottawa Valley A’s. Following the regular season which sees each team play 18 games, the playoffs will see the first place team get a bye while the other teams will play in three best-of-five playoff series. The winners of these series, along with the first place team, will then advance to a double knockout playoff round, with the league playoffs finishing up with a championship final on the weekend of Sept. 10/12.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Jane Louks, left, president of the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion, presents a Poppy Appreciation Award to Rev. Michel Dubord, right.
“They” turned out to be not just members of Rev. Dubord’s own congregation at St. John’s Anglican Church but many others from the community who had come to know Rev. Dubord during his 18 years as rector of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. Among those attending the open house at St. John’s Anglican Church hall was Richmond Legion president Jane Louks who used the occasion to present Michel with a Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Appreciation Award. She thanked Michel for his support of the Richmond Legion branch over the years, noting that he had served as the Legion branch’s chaplain for a number of years. She also noted how Michel had regularly provided a reflection for the Richmond Legion’s newsletter “Foxy Tales,” reaching the goal of writing 100 of them for the newsletter. In his remarks at the open house, Michel noted that he went through a process of discernment in deciding to take early retirement after 31 years as an ordained minister but that he feels that there are other things that God is calling him to do and he wants to do them while still feeling healthy. He thanked the organizers of the open house as well as all those who turned out for the open house. He thanked his former spouse, his three children and his wife Kathy for their patience, love and support over the years. See FAREWELL OPEN HOUSE, page 41

Rev. Michel Dubord and his wife Kathy sit together in a pair of rocking chairs at the open house which was held on Sunday afternoon, July 24 at the St. John’s Anglican Church Hall in Richmond to provide an opportunity for folks to say farewell to them as Rev. Dubord is retiring as rector of St. John’s Anglican Church after 18 years.
Farewell open house for Rev. Michel Dubord Continued from page 40
He particularly complemented Kathy for her involvement with St. John’s music ministry, calling her “one of the best music people ever.” Michel offered to send a pdf copy of his reflections in “Foxy Tales” or copies of a series of his seasonal reflections to anyone who
wishes to receive them and provides him with an email address to which to send them. Rev. Dubord will be retiring as rector of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond this August, with Sunday, Aug. 7 being the final service over which he will preside. He has been rector at St. John’s since 1998.

MARY COOK Memories My dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table.
The chopping block and the ugly mud pout Mother, knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river at this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo, and would have a pail full, ready for Mother to
CAT OF THE WEEK BLACK BEAUTY “LUNA” Saved in the nick of time from being killed. Only four years old and had such sadness in her life already. She desperately wants a home where she will be the only beauty... The sanctuary is too crowded for her; it is making her very unhappy... So sweet so loving... a true lap cat who likes to talk... she will adore you… In her past she was also declawed on 4 paws... Give her a call make your home and her happy.

cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big black iron fry pan, and vision the fish, which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive. The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when once again, a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery. Father had peeled off his plaid shirt, and Emerson went upstairs and came down in his underwear. I couldn’t wait to crawl into the fresh cool flour bag sheets and hopefully feel a bit of night air come in the window near the bed, and put the thought of the ugly mud pout out of my mind. Usually my brothers complained about going to bed. They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that
night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen. I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. And then my feet touched something...wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed as Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey to change the sheets and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block and the ugly mud pout.

Preparation instructions In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots; reduce heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until golden brown and very soft, five to eight minutes. Add vinegar and
maple syrup; simmer gently until shallots are glazed and most of the liquid has evaporated, five to six minutes. Remove from heat. Lightly oil a clean counter. Roll or stretch out dough into two 6 x 12 inch (15 x 30 cm) rectangles. Preheat barbecue to high. Place both dough rectangles on grill, close lid and reduce heat to medium-high.

Arrange pears, then shallots evenly over cheese. Return pizzas to grill, reduce heat to low and grill until dough is cooked through and slightly charred on the bottom, two to four minutes.

Bus trip to Gananoque Casino on Aug. 10 John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Enjoying a day at an Ontario Lottery Corporation (OLG) casino. Lots of fun. And getting there with someone else doing the driving while you just sit back and enjoy the passing scenery - it doesn’t get any better than that! But this is the situation if you decide to join others from the Stittsville community on a bus trip to the Gananoque Casino on
Wednesday, Aug. 10. Organized by the 55 Plus Club of the Stittsville Legion, this bus trip is open to everyone in the community. The bus will leave from the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena on Wednesday, Aug. 10 at 9:30 a.m. sharp. You will be at the 15,000 square foot Casino at Gananoque before you know it and ready to try your luck at some of the 480 slot machines there and ready to have fun playing some of the table games such as Texas
Hold’em, Blackjack and Roulette. And then, with your winnings (hopefully) in your pocket and having enjoyed the food and beverage services at the Casino, it will be back on the bus for the ride back to Stittsville, again with someone else doing the driving while you chat about your luck that day. To arrange a seat on the bus or for more information about this bus trip to the Gananoque Casino, please call Marion Gullock at 613836-5254.
Community corn supper is coming up John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Corn on the cob is one of the treats of late summer. And you will be able to enjoy it at a community corn supper being hosted by St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Saturday, Aug. 27 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy a sup-
per that will not only include hot buttered corn on the cob but also ham, potato salad, coleslaw, bean salad, macaroni salad, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, pickled beets, tossed salad, rolls, tea, coffee, lemonade, ice tea and ice cream. Wow – what a menu! Cost will be $14 per person for those aged 12 and up; $6 for those aged 6 to 11 years; and free for children under
6 years of age. Tickets will be available by calling 613-623-4501 or at the church office on Wednesdays or Thursdays as of Aug. 1. Eating corn goes back centuries in North America. Corn was eaten by native aboriginal peoples before European settlers arrived in North America., The Maya people, for example, had corn as one of their staple food crops, eating it off the cob by
either roasting or boiling it. Corn on the cob is usually seasoned with salt and buttered before serving. Some diners used skewers, thrust into the ends of the cob, that enables them to hold the ear of corn while eating without touching the cob itself. St. Thomas Anglican Church is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville.

$15,700 raised in annual Motorcycle Ride John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It’s $15,700 raised and still counting for the fourth annual Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa. This is the amount that has been raised so far with more donations still coming in from the event which was held on Saturday, July 16, starting and finishing at the parking lot at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville. There was a record turnout of riders and motorcycles for this year’s ride, all happening in support of QuickStart which offers an early intervention program called KickStart for the youngest of children with autism. KickStart is a free program offered for children two and a half years old and younger that runs for four to five months, providing parents with the training to be able to interact and communicate with their young autistic child. There is no waiting time for the program, with the only limitation being for QuickStart to have the funds available, namely $4,000 per child. Suzanne Jacobson of Kanata founded QuickStart in 2008 to facilitate more access to early intervention services for children with autism after her grandson had experienced difficulty accessing such services. QuickStart provides funding to agencies like Emerging Minds and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre which provide early intervention programs at no cost to affected families. These programs fill the “gap”
caused by wait lists for government services. These QuickStart services are provided during a time when parents otherwise would just be waiting to access such services. For Suzanne, it all started when her grandson Alexander was placed on the waiting list for an assessment for autism when he was 20 months old. He was on the wait list for ten months before being diagnosed with autism. Once diagnosed, he then waited two years for the government funded intensive therapy program. Much critical time was lost as it has been shown that the sooner that intervention begins, the better it is. Yet wait times are increasing due to the number of children being diagnosed with autism. Five years ago one in 150 children was diagnosed with autism. Now it is one in 50 children. The cost of providing early intervention therapies averages $60,000 a year, so not many families can afford such private therapy. This is where QuickStart comes in as it provides funding to agencies that deliver early intervention programs so that these programs can be provided at no cost to a family. Typically QuickStart funds three children per month for the KickStart program. This past October, though, seven children were funded thanks to the funding being available. It was Dave Kuhnle who founded this Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa in support of QuickStart in 2013 when his two granddaughters were diagnosed at an early age with autism. See MOTORCYCLE, page 45

Motorcycle ride in support of autism Continued from page 44
Both of his granddaughters went through QuickStart’s early intervention KickStart program. Dave had participated in the Ride for Dad, a fundraiser for prostate cancer. He discovered that there was no fundraising motorcycle ride in support of autism so he decided to start one to raise funds to help provide early intervention services for children with autism. Thus began the Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa. This Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa raised over $40,000 in its first three years and the funds raised by this year’s ride, already $15,700 and growing, will put recent fundraising efforts for QuickStart over the $100,000 mark. Indeed, it has been an amazing fundraising period for QuickStart, with $88,727 raised in six fundraising events over the 33 days leading up to the July 16 Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
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!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may feel a bit disconnected from your feelings this week. It’s alright to pull back for a time and get things straight in your head. Things will soon return to the status quo. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take constructive criticism in stride this week. Criticism can sometimes sting, but this critique is meant to assist you in the long run. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, this week you are acutely aware of a strong emotional bond between yourself and someone who is off-limits. You may need to rein in your feelings and keep things friendly. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Holding on to a bunch of material belongings simply because they bring you comfort may bog you down with unnecessary stuff, Cancer. Start cleaning up. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, things that you say or do this week may seem like they are scripted out of a movie. Rather than putting on an act, let others know how you truly feel. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you open yourself up to change, you may find that there are plenty of additional opportunities coming your way. Be receptive to new ideas this week.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your natural ability to interact gracefully with others will serve you well in many different applications. This is especially helpful in a managerial capacity. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week your loved ones will chip in and take the burden off of you in some way. Make sure they know how much you appreciate them. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, let your emotions guide you in the week ahead. While it’s important to apply critical thinking to big decisions, this week you will benefit from an emotional approach. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It can be difficult to separate work life from home life, Capricorn. But that’s just what you have to do in the days ahead. Otherwise, neither will get your full attention. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You may be eager to learn more about someone this week, even if this person is not in your immediate circle of friends, Aquarius. Explore the possibilities that lie ahead. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sticking to a firm schedule might be nearly impossible in the next few days. Make things a bit more fluid so you have some wiggle room. 0728
