She will be competing in shotput and ball throw at the world level as she acknowledges that her swimming and bowling would not be competitive at the world competition. But she would like to dry the discus and javelin events at the world competition. These two events are not offered at the national level. She is even thinking of joining a track club to try to improve her shotput efforts. Samantha, incidentally, holds the record at the World Transplant Games in the ball throw event. Records are kept at the world level but not at the Canadian games. She enjoys attending the World Transplant Games as it provides an opportunity to visit foreign countries.

Dr. Cathy Deschenes receives Forty Under 40 award speak English very well when she first moved to Ontario. In addition, she had no business experience when she and her husband opened their dental office in Stittsville. A oneyear course in business management helped. She praises her husband Michael who is also her partner in the business. “All of it could not be possible without him,� she says. She also praises the staff at the Deschenes-Poitras Dental Centre, many of whom have been there since the beginning. The dental office has now grown to employ five hygienists and new patients are always welcome. The plan is to eventually have a third dentist involved in the business. For Dr. Deschenes, receiving this award is affirmation that she and her husband have done something right in their business over the years. She strongly believes in community involvement which is why the DeschenesPoitras Dental Centre, for instance, always has an entry in Stittsville’s annual Christmas Parade of Lights.

She was one of over 250 young entrepreneurs in the Ottawa region nominated for the 2014 Forty Under 40 awards. Only 40 could be chosen as award recipients This was the first time that Dr. Deschenes, who was the only doctor among this year’s award recipients, had been nominated for the award and, indeed, it was her last year of eligibility as she is 39 years old and those nominated must be 39 years old or younger as of June 30 of the award year. Dr. Deschenes was born in Chapais, Que., a community north of Quebec City which has a current population of about 1,600 people. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Laval University in Quebec City. She regards her biggest achievement in business as opening and having success with the Deschenes-Poitras Dental Centre in Stittsville after working for five years with different dentists in Ontario. She had to overcome a language barrier as she did not

“Being close to the community was always something I put as a priority,� she says, adding that she and Michael love the community of Stittsville and are proud to be part of the community, saying that the best decision that she and Michael have made in their business lives was to establish their dental practice in Stittsville. “I’ll get retired here,� she comments. She is very thankful for all the support which the Deschenes-Poitras Dental Centre has received from the community and vows to keep providing the best service possible, keeping abreast of the latest advances in dentistry while keeping up with technological improvements. Dr. Deschenes calls her father Rene Deschenes her biggest influence in life, noting that although the family never had a lot of money, it never lacked for anything as he always worked hard. She credits her father with teaching her perseverance and instilling in her a work ethic and confidence. Her father was in

attendance at the Forty Under 40 gala awards ceremony at the Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel where she received her award. Some of Dr. Deschenes’ dreams for the future include walking the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage route across northern Spain to the shrine of St. James the Great in northwestern Spain, as well as walking along the Great Wall of China. Other future goals include playing Beethoven in an airport (she is learning how to play the piano) and travelling to Canada’s North to provide dentistry services in aboriginal communities. She has already travelled to Africa where she provided dental services. Dr. Deschenes enjoyed the Forty Under 40 awards gala at the Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel as she had the opportunity to meet the other recipients who ranged from accountants to lawyers to restaurant owners, among others. She calls them all amazing people who shared their stories with each other at the event. One of the developments from receiving the award is that Dr. Deschenes is now going to be more involved with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce in trying to help young dentists in setting up their practices, helping them to avoid some of the mistakes which she and Michael made in establishing their practice. “That’s what I like,� she says. “Giving back to people.� Dr. Deschenes knows one thing about receiving this Forty Under 40 award – it is

Medal winning performances at Transplant Games Continued from page 1

The recent Canadian Transplant Games were held in Moncton from July 7-12 with the athletes staying in rooms at the University of Moncton. Samantha attended the Canadian Transplant Games as a member of Team Ontario, a contingent which made up over half of the competitors at the event. Samantha received a heart transplant 18 years ago this coming November. She now goes for regular checkups at the Ottawa Heart Institute. She is currently taking business marketing at Algonquin College. Her ultimate dream goal is to be involved in marketing for the Transplant Games or for the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. She already over the years has been a strong advocate for the Transplant Games, telling other transplant recipients that she meets at hospital visits or at various camps about the games and how to become involved. It was the seventh Canadian Transplant Games which were held in Moncton this year. These Transplant Games are meant as an opportunity

for organ transplant recipients from around the country to come together for competition and fun in a celebration of health. Participants can range in age from 5 to 85. Sports involved include track and field, swimming, golf, tennis, table tennis squash, badminton, bowling, cycling and lawn bowling. Participants at these national games can participate in up to five individual medal events in their age group. The Canadian Transplant Games, which began in the year 2000, are held every two years. The goal is to increase organ donations in Canada, to demonstrate that a healthy active lifestyle can be achieved following a transplant and to promote the success of organ donation and transplants. There are over 4,000 Canadians waiting for organ transplants. The 2015 World Transplant Games in Mar del Plata in Argentina which will take place from Aug. 23 to Aug. 30, 2015 will be the 20th such games. The first World Transplant Games, a competitive sporting event for transplant recipients, was held in Portsmouth, England in 1978 with competitors from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Greece and the United States. These summer World Transplant Games are held every two years, with winter Games held in the intervening years. It was in 1987 that the World Transplant Games Federation was officially formed. There are now about 70 countries around the world which belong to the Federation. The 2013 World Transplant Games in Durban, South Africa attracted participants from 50 countries. These World Transplant Games involve those from ages 4 through 80 who qualify to participate. The World Transplant Games have over 50 events including athletics, ten pin bowling, swimming, racquet sports, golf, volleyball, lawn bowling and cycling. The purpose of the World Transplant Games Federation in holding the games is to visibly demonstrate the benefits of successful organ transplantation as well as to increase public awareness of organ transplants and to increase organ donation rates.

Mayor’s Report

THE OTTAWA RIVER ACTION PLAN By Jim Watson

Throughout my travels around our city, I have the opportunity to meet many people; some of them call our city home while others are visiting from abroad. One of my favorite questions to ask them is what is their favorite attraction in Ottawa? The answers I hear most: Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the Byward Market, all share the commonality of being close to the Ottawa River. Whether called The Ottawa River, Rivière des Outaouais or Kichesippi, the waterway on the banks of which our national capital was built has been a gathering place, the subject and inspiration for artists, and a constant source of beauty in our city’s history. With the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017 approaching, the need to protect the health and vibrance of this waterway for future generations is increasingly clear. That is why in 2010 Council approved the Ottawa River Action Plan (ORAP), an aggressive and comprehensive plan for the Ottawa River consisting of 17 projects that set out to: s -AINTAIN A HEALTHY AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM s %NSURE COMPLIANCE WITH AND EXCEED REGULATORY requirements s /PTIMIZE RECREATIONAL USE AND REDUCE BEACH CLOSURES s $EVELOP A LONG TERM STRATEGY TO GUIDE AND PRIORITIZE actions Working together with our federal and provincial counterparts we have made tremendous progress. We have reduced combined sewer overows signiďŹ cantly in recent years – by more than 80% but, there is still more work to do. Last year, despite our progress, 205 million litres of untreated waste and waste water still made its way into our city’s most important waterway and a big storm this June caused a large overow. It is troubling that in the 21st century we still have raw sewage overows going into a treasured waterway, owing right behind the Parliament Buildings nonetheless. Our current infrastructure is unable to cope with the volume of waste and waste water produced after heavy rain falls which causes these sewer overows. To prevent this, the third phase of ORAP includes building the #OMBINED 3EWAGE 3TORAGE 4UNNEL WHICH WILL GREATLY EXPAND OUR ability to store combined sewer overow that can then be treated and returned safely to the Ottawa River. This project would help stop almost all raw sewage from owing into the Ottawa River. R0012817284

Kickstarter funding being sought for new cantata a brand new musical cantata, composer Kelly-Marie Murphy has turned to Kickstarter, a worldwide crowdfunding platform whose mission is to help bring creative projects to life. A fundraising goal of $7,000 has been set with Friday, Aug. 29 as the deadline for reaching this target with pledges. As of last Sunday, July 27, a total of 1,555 had been pledged by a total of 19 backers. The project can be found at the website https://www. k i c k s t a r t e r. c o m / p r o j ects/285096017/ottawa-symphony-orchestra-blue-onblue-premiere. The performance will go ahead whatever the result of the Kickstarter campaign but achieving the goal and getting the crowdfunding will ease the financial burden on the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra and the composer. Any orchestral concert like this one requires substantial funding. Costs include renting the concert hall and rehearsal space, hiring musicians, renting music and more. This is all part of an orchestra’s normal

News - Richard Margison is one of the most critically acclaimed singers in the world today, performing regularly in many of the leading opera houses. And it will be his voice which will be singing in the premiere of the new musical composition “Blue on Blue: Unthinkable Distance, Unspeakable Sorrow” composed by Kelly-Marie Murphy and to be performed by the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on Monday, Nov. 17 as part of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra’s 50th anniversary season. This new musical piece has been created to tell the story of Canadian soldier Sgt. Marc Leger who died tragically in Afghanistan, as told from the point of view of his father Richard Leger of Stittsville. But to help make this all happen and to help with some of the expenses specifically involved in producing not only an orchestral concert but

operating budget. But when a brand new musical piece is involved, there are even more costs involved and this is where the hopedfor Kickstarter fundraising will help. The composer’s fee is a standard rate of pay which is set by the Canadian League of Composers. But this is only one cost. Once the piece is written and all the pitches notated for each instrument, the music then goes to a music engraver who is a specialized file editor who is not only a musician but also is familiar with music notation software and music editing laws set out by the Major Orchestra Librarians Association. The music engraver’s work ensures that each member of the orchestra, the conductor and the soloist receives an individual piece of music that sits on the music stand that is legible and error-free. This ensures that all of the musicians have their correct parts as was intended by the composer. Once the music engraver has completed his or her work, the parts have to be photocop-

In the case of this new “Blue on Blue” composition, a tenor soloist is being hired and not just any soloist but Richard Margison, a world famous Canadian soloist. This means extra costs as the soloist has to be paid and have expenses covered for a threeday rehearsal period and the performance itself. It is for these production costs related to a new piece and associated with the soloist’s appearance that the Kickstarter campaign has been launched.

with Canadians, knew the story of Sgt. Marc Leger’s death in Afghanistan. Indeed, she had met Marc’s mother Claire about ten years ago when Claire was filling in for her regular babysitter. She knew as a composer that the story of how Richard and Claire Leger learned about the death, how they have moved on, how they have found ways of coping while yet always remembering their son – these were ingredients for a dramatic and powerful musical work that would resonate with people. So she had many conversations with Richard Leger as the cantata will be presenting this story of loss and tragedy from the father’s point of view. Their conversations touched on how Richard felt as a new father, how he felt on learning of Marc’s death in Afghanistan, how he and Claire adapted to a changed lifestyle after Marc’s death and how support from all parts of Canada helped them move on. Richard points out that there have been a lot of songs written dealing with the military, this is the first time that he knows of a musical piece being composed that is very specific to the feelings and thoughts of one parent in the death of a soldier son.

This new cantata which is a vocal composition with an instrumental accompaniment that involves several movements deals with universal topics of love and loss, struggle and coping, remembering and moving on and pride and sorrow, all portrayed from Richard Leger’s point of view as the father of a fallen soldier. The first movement deals with Richard Leger’s feelings as a first time father while the second movement, featuring a faster paced music, deals with what happened and why it happened. The third and fourth movements complete the cantata, musically portraying Richard speaking about his son with the music swelling to a conclusion, lending itself to a strong solo tenor voice like that of Richard Margison. Composter Kelly-Marie Murphy turned to Kickstarter for some of the funding needed because her applications for funding from the Canada Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the city of Ottawa were rejected. But the funding is needed to make the cantata happen the way that the composer has envisioned it, especially with tenor soloist Richard Margison involved. Kelly-Marie Murphy, who was approached by the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra to write a cantata that would resonate

Pool may re-open by May Special to the News

News - If things go as planned, the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville may be ready to re-open in May 2015 when the reconstruction and repair work is completed. When work was being done to remedy mould conditions at the pool, problems were discovered with regard to the original construction of the facility. That’s why the pool has remained closed. Ottawa city council has approved funding to repair the pool to proper

standards. The city has sought out qualiďŹ ed contractors to do the required work. The contractors are now being vetted and contractors deemed qualiďŹ ed to do the work will be invited to submit a bid proposal. Contract documents may be ready by mid-August with the project to be tendered. The tentative timeline is for the contract to be awarded by midSeptember. Construction activity on the site would begin in early October with the project being substantially completed by May 2015.

He said that usually all of the attention goes to mothers such as Claire who is a Silver Cross Mother but that composer Kelly-Marie Murphy has made this piece about him as a father of a soldier who died in Afghanistan. This new cantata “Blue on Blue: Unthinkable Distance, Unspeakable Sorrow� will be one of two pieces being premiered by the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra during its upcoming season. The other new piece will be a saxophone concerto by Andrew MacDonald titled “Blue Orchid.� The Ottawa Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1965 and is the only fullsize symphony orchestra in the National Capital Region able to present major works with a focus on the inclusion of Canadian works. With about 100 musicians, the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra is

Ottawa’s largest orchestra. The Ottawa Symphony Orchestra presents its concerts each season in Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre under music director and conductor David Currie. Richard Margison, who will be the soloist for Kelly-Marie Murphy’s new composition this coming November, is renowned for his ringing top notes and spine-tingling vocal power. He was named an ofďŹ cer of the Order of Canada in 2001 and in 2009 he received Lifetime Achievement Awards from both the Giulio Gari Foundation and the Licia Albanese-Puccini Foundation. Among the opera houses in which he has performed are the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the Royal Opera House, the San Francisco Opera, the Sydney Opera and the Grand Teatro del Liceu in Barcelona.

s ’ n o s a Landscaping Appeal deadline for zoning J News - Tuesday, Aug. 12 is the deadline for the ďŹ ling of a notice of appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for the bylaw zoning the Carp Road site for Waste Management’s proposed new landďŹ ll. The city of Ottawa council passed the zoning bylaw on Wednesday, July 9. Any appeal of the bylaw to the OMB must set out the reasons for the objection to its passing by city council. The bylaw has rezoned the site to permit the new landďŹ ll plus a waste process-

property. There will also be larger setbacks and soft landscape buffers required for all of the exterior edges of the site. More information about the zoning by-

On the 31st, you’ll be entertained by Sidewinder, a ďŹ ve member band that specializes in rock and new country, and on the 7th of August, Ambush comes to Richmond to entertain the crowd. For both nights, there will be a BBQ that begins at 6:00pm with the shows starting at 7:00pm. This concert series is brought to you by Waste Management and the City of Ottawa. Donations to CHEO will be accepted. New Communications Tower I just wanted to provide an update on the new telecommunications tower currently under construction at the Goulbourn Quarry site, near Munster Road & FallowďŹ eld Road. The tower will ultimately be 75 metres in height and will provide signals for Bell Mobility’s 4G high speed wireless voice and data network. This will be an improvement for users of their cellular service as well as their high speed internet users. My ofďŹ ce has been in touch with Bell recently and learned that Telus will also be accessing the tower. As of yet, Rogers Communications has not applied to use the tower but it is believed they, too, will use the new infrastructure to provide better service in the Munster area. Leader in Training Program at Watson’s Mill This was announced in the spring but I just wanted to highlight what is happening at Watson’s Mill because I really think it deserves recognition. This summer, they’ve begun a Leader in Training Program (LIT) aimed at youth looking to enhance their leadership skills and gain valuable experience while having fun outdoors. Participants will take part in the Mill’s annual Mini-Wheats summer camp program and have the opportunity to give back to their community and earn leadership or volunteer hours for school as well.

Goulbourn Museum. Previous recipients have been Pat Roberts in 2010, Linda Preston and Cheryl McCoy in 2011 and Sheila Cain Sample, Hilda Moore and Virginia Notley in 2012. Brenda Holtz was on hand at the appreciation evening held on the Museum grounds at Stanley’s Corners to receive the award. Projects on which she has worked as a longtime volunteer of the Museum have included digitizing a collection of letters from the Great War, creating copies of the Museum’s scrapbook collection and working on a scrapbook of Goulbourn war veterans which was initial one scrapbook but has grown to become six volumes due to Brenda’s extensive research to find information on each veteran including attestation papers and sometimes even a photograph. These scrapbooks are currently on display as part of the Museum’s Homegrown heroes exhibition. Ms. Holtz has volunteered for these projects at the Museum every Thursday from September through May. She is one of over 40 volunteers who are involved with the Goulbourn Museum. Last year these volunteers contributed over 3,100 hours of their time to the Museum. Projects involving these volunteers include working with the Museum’s collection by creating reproductions and cataloguing artefacts; assisting at programs and events including family craft days and outreach activities; working on Museum exhibitions and publication’s sitting on the Museum’s Board of Directors and committees; and assisting with a variety of projects including work with costumes and outdoor maintenance. Last year the Goulbourn Musem offered over 50 programs and workshops, attracting nearly 10,000 participants. Nearly 2,000 visitors were welcomed at the Museum itself. The Goulbourn Museum has three full-time

employees plus one part-time contract person and three summer contract people. Financial support is provided by the city of Ottawa, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Service Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The annual appreciation evening held hosted by the Goulbourn’s Board of Directors and staff as a way of thanking the Museum’s volunteers and other supporters. The Museum has numerous contributors who generously donate funding, artefacts and supplies to the Museum. The Museum had over 100 artefacts donated in 2013 including books, postcards, photographs, tools, signs, bottles, newspapers, magazines, product boxes, brochures, clothing, footwear, matchboxes, pins, permits, letters, service records and certificates. A major donation was a collection of over 40,000 artefacts donated from an archeological dig in Richmond. This donation alone grew the Museum’s artefact collection from about 8,000 to 48,000. A medal that was issued to Colonel George Thew Burke in 1848 recognizing his involvement in the War of 1812 was donated to the Museum in 2013, along with a hand written letter written in 1889 by Margaret Jane Crawford, Col. Burke’s daughter. This letter was on display at the Museum for the appreciation evening, as was Col. Burke’s medal. The Museum is hoping to engage a conservator to repair the hand written letter and is soliciting donations to help finance such an initiative. The Museum does not have an artefact acquisition budget but when Richmond native Clarence Evelyn Rielly’s collection of war medals became available on eBay last summer, Museum supporters quickly rallied and donated the funds needed to acquire and care for the medals. These medals are now on display in the Museum’s Homegrown Heroes exhibition.

Appreciation evening john.curry@metroland.com

News - It was a deliciously idyllic July evening at the Goulbourn Museum on Thursday, July 24 as the Museum hosted its volunteers and supporters at its annual appreciation evening. Tables adorned with tablecloths of different colours – pink, yellow and green) were set up in several long rows on the shaded grounds behind the Museum where everyone was able to sit and enjoy the catered buffet meal. Balloons marking the special occasion were hung on trees and on the tent from under which the meal was served. About 60 attended the event which was held in the final hours of what had been a per-

fect July day with sunshine, a refreshing breeze and summertime warmth. Student Rachel McDonald was among those in attendance at this appreciation evening. The St. Isidore Catholic School student attended in the company of her grandmother Donna MacMillan. Rachel was among the invited guests as she had prepared an extensive presentation on World War One veteran Peter Haggerty as a project for her gifted class. She went above and beyond what was expected and she even presented her comprehensive display about Mr. Haggerty at an event at the Museum of Civilization. Also at the appreciation evening was William Sinka who is president of the new 100th

Regiment Historical Society. This group is currently developing a group of costumed reenactors portraying the 100th Regiment of Foot which was the regiment which provided many of Goulbourn’s earliest settlers. This re-eactment regiment is slowly gaining recruits and Mr. Sinka is hopeful that the group will have 15 to 20 involved within a year. The 100th Regiment Historical Society has concluded an agreement with the Richmond Village Association to offer a program for youth starting this fall. It is hoped that 10 to 12 youth will indicate an interest in this re-enactment program and become part of the group. Already the 100th Regiment Historical Society is receiving

numerous requests for appearances at special events. Indeed, current members are off to Fort George in the Niagara area soon to take part in a military re-enactment event there. The 100th Regiment Historical Society has found local sources for making its replica military informs as worn by the original 100th Regiment. For more information about the 100th Regiment Historical Society, please contact William Sinka at 819-332-4004 or check out the website at www.100thregiment. org .

OPINION EDITORIAL

Bridging public opinion

T

he suggestion to rename the StrandherdArmstrong Bridge “Vimy Bridge� has turned into a political football for Ottawaarea councillors, MPs and MPPs. Ever since it was first proposed by two branches of the Royal Canadian Legion, politicians have been quick to let citizens (voters) know they support the idea. How could they not? The Battle of Vimy Ridge is one of Canada’s greatest military victories, fought during the First World War in 1917. More than 3,500 Canadians were killed in the battle, which is remembered as an significant event in the history of our country, marking its birth as a truly independent nation. Vimy Bridge would be a fitting name for south Ottawa’s new bridge, a “remarkable structure� situated in the nation’s capital and one deserving a title of national import, says Gloucester South-Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t consider other suggestions.

Council has latched onto the name only a few days after it was suggested, and later championed by Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre. While politicians have almost universally jumped on the Vimy Bridge band-wagon, not all residents are convinced the name is the best choice. A member of the Manotick legion asked why the city must reach back almost a century in time for a bridge name, and not offer any serious consideration to more recent conflicts such as the war in Afghanistan. On Poilievre’s Facebook page, one commenter pointed out it was strange to name a bridge plagued with years of construction problems after a nationbuilding moment in our history. Thankfully, all suggestions for renaming the bridge must go through a commemorative naming process, which includes a 30-day public consultation. Whatever name ends up being chosen, it will still be a good bridge, and we will always honour our veterans.

lease excuse me if you haven’t heard back from me lately. I’ve been buried under a pile of clean laundry. The truth is, my nanny left us in early June. She was part-time, employed to look after our preschool-aged daughter and help with daily domestic tasks. She cleaned the kitchen, made meals, vacuumed and folded and put away laundry daily. God bless her, she was industrious! I initially tried and failed to replace her. And then, with all the summer travel and activities and a toilet-training two-year-old, I decided to cut my freelance workload and “take the summer off with the kids.� We’ve had some good times, sure. We’ve been camping, visiting, and gone to museums. We’ve gone to the

able to get away with minimal hours at the washing machine, right? No. At home, I spend every waking hour cleaning a kitchen that never quite seems to get clean, folding laundry that never quite makes it into drawers before I find it’s gone back through the cycle of wear-soilwash-dry again, and feeding the offspring, whose appetites are never satiated. (My boys aren’t even close to adolescence and they’re already eating me out of house and home. My two-year-old has already learned how to help herself from the pantry cupboard or fridge drawers and she’s constantly in there). The stress of home life has made me realize a number of important things: 1) I need a nanny; 2) Laundry reproduces very quickly in a house DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 4RACI #AMERON ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST 3HARON (OLDEN /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

Middle-class problems, right? And truth be told, I’m not sure we can really afford a nanny, except the costbenefit analysis comparing alternative childcare options has tipped the scale in favour of part-time domestic help. I know what you’re thinking: Hey Brynna, maybe you should stop having children!

Probably a good idea, unless, of course, I can find a really great nanny, ideally one who can instill values of fidelity into our socks. Because, if I never have to match a pair of socks again, well, I may just consider giving nanny a raise.

News - A fire that caused about $700,000 damage to townhomes on Abaca Way in the Timbermere subdivision in Stittsville on Thursday, July 24 has been linked to a discarded cigarette. Ottawa Fire Services has determined that the fire started in a planter on a backyard deck from a cigarette that had been discarded there about one hour before the fire was discovered. The fire ended up travelling up the rear of the townhouse units, severely damaging two of them. Firefighters were called to the scene about 5:45 p.m. and had the fire under control by 7:30 p.m. Residents of the units all escaped safely with no injuries reported. The Ottawa Fire Services advises that cigarettes should not be extinguished and discarded in planters. Such pots often contain a mixture of peat moss, shredded wood and bark which can be flammable materials. In addition, cigarette butts should not be discarded under decks as debris there could be ignited. The Ottawa Fire Services recommends using heavy,

deep ashtrays that will not be knocked over or a large can filled with sand in which to discard cigarette butts.

Fundraiser car wash at former Flea Market site Special to the News

News - The former Stittsville Flea Market site was the location for a car wash fundraiser last Sunday. The Ottawa Fire Services hosted the car

wash which was held to raise funds for a much-needed home renovation project to help enhance the quality of life for eight year old Lauren King of Kanata. Lauren, a student at St. James Catholic

School in Kanata, has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegia. She now requires a remodeled bathroom so that her mother Evelyn Lush will be able to bathe her without physical strain. This

will require a lift and hydraulics mounted to tracks on the ceiling. There will also be a new shower stall with two heads which will allow Lauren to roll in to the shower. The renovation will also involve a new bathroom vanity which will accommodate Lauren’s wheelchair. The car wash to help Lauren King began at the former Stittsville Flea Market site at 8 a.m. and ran through until 4 p.m. The firefighters used the Stittsville ladder truck to pour down water from above on vehicles being washed. But this was more than just a car wash. Joining the firefighters were the Ottawa RedBlacks cheerleaders, the RedBlacks mascot Big Joe, Sparky the Ottawa fire dog, Sparky the Ottawa Fury mascot and the A&W Bear mascot. BOB FM was broadcasting from the site throughout the day and Star Wars characters visited. Honey Drop face painting was on hand as was Sparkling Expressions Glitter Tattoos. Big D’s Poutine truck was on hand as were Ottawa Police Service motorcycle patrol officers. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was there with his well-known cotton candy and snocones. Cerebral palsy is a term which covers a number of permanent, non-progressive movement disorders that cause physical disability, mainly in body movement. Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centres of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth and after birth up to about the age of three. Cerebral palsy is not an infectious disease and is not contagious. There is no cure at present. Cerebral palsy occurs in about 2.1 out of every 1,000 births. Cerebral palsy is not a progressive disorder, meaning that the brain damage does not worsen over time. However, the symptoms may become more severe over time.

West Ottawa Ladies Chorus looking for singers Special to the News

News - Attention, ladies! If you are a singer, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus wants you! The Chorus currently has 30 members but there is room for more for all designated voice parts. Choral experience and basic sight reading skills are an asset but the only real requirement is an ability to match pitch and to sing a designated voice part. Those who wish to pursue this opportunity to sing with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus should call the Chorus’ music director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or via email at ladieschorus@bell.net to arrange for an informal, friendly meet and greet that will include introducing new singers to their music binders and singing along with Mr. Dueck, sight reading through one or two of the selections to determine vocal range and determine which voice parts would be the most comfortable fit for the singer. These meet and greet sessions will be scheduled towards the end of August, well before the Chorus’ first rehearsals at the end of September. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus originated from a group of 24 women from the west Ottawa area, who had choral experience and were recruited by Robert Dueck to augment the Goulbourn Male Chorus as one-time guest performers at the Male Chorus’ 2011 Christmas concert. Following this concert performance, Mr. Dueck received several requests to consider directing a ladies chorus as well in addition to the

Male Chorus which began in 2010. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus came into being in May 2011 with an inaugural performance with 12 ladies singing two selections at the Male Chorus’ spring concert, again as guests of the Male Chorus. These dozen ladies formed the core of the new West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Word spread and experienced choral singers came forward to join this new West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Throughout 2012, this Ladies Chorus continued to grow and increase its profile as a community chorus by performing annual spring and Christmas concerts, making guest appearances at concerts, providing musical entertainment for luncheon and banquet functions and bringing the joy of music to residents of area retirement homes. This fall, leading up to Christmas, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has a number of sing out performances booked in addition to its annual Christmas concert. As is the Chorus’ regular practice now, rehearsals are held in a 10 to 12 week block of time leading up to its performances. To save weeks of note learning rehearsals, assigned music binders are distributed in advance with the requirement that members become familiar with the music prior to the first rehearsal. The actual rehearsals are offered twice a week, with members welcome to attend both but required to attend at least one per week. These rehearsals this fall will be at the Empress Kanata Retirement Residence at 170 McGibbon Drive in Kanata on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Sept. 28 to Nov. 30) and at the

Concert at Village Square Park Special to the News

News - There will be music in Village Square Park in Stittsville again this summer thanks to Waste Management and its sponsorship of a “Concerts in the Park” program with the city of Ottawa. This year’s “Concerts in the Park” program will see the group “Serious Fun” performing at Village Square Park on Thursday, Aug. 14. This one and a half hour

free concert starting at 7 p.m. will be preceded by a BBQ in support of local youth initiatives. In addition, donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) will be collected at the concert. Besides this concert at Village Square Park, this year’s “Concerts in the Park” series will see two concerts held at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond and four concerts

which have already been held at Fitzroy Provincial Park in West Carleton. The concerts at the Richmond fairgrounds will happen this Thursday, July 31 with the band “Sidewinder” and on Thursday, Aug. 7 with the group “Ambush.” Both concerts will begin at 7 p.m. All of these concerts are free thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The Corporation of the City of Ottawa on July 9, 2014 established its intention to designate the Horticulture Building, 957 Bank Street, Ottawa under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Horticulture Building Description of Historic Place The Horticulture Building, 957 Bank Street, is a two storey brick exhibition building constructed in 1914 at Lansdowne Park, the Central Canada Exhibition grounds from 1888 until 2010. Lansdowne Park is located in the Glebe neighbourhood of Ottawa. The building was moved from its original location to its current location in 2012. Changes to the north end of the building, including a new entrance on the north façade and new entry bays were undertaken in 2013-2014. Heritage Value The Horticulture Building is associated with the evolution of Lansdowne Park as an exhibition grounds. The first agricultural fair in what is now Ontario took place in Niagara-on-the-Lake before 1800 and soon after many other towns began hosting their own fairs. In 1846, the provincial government organized an annual provincial exhibition that was hosted by a different community each year. Ottawa hosted the provincial exhibition at Lansdowne Park in 1875, 1879 and 1887. In 1888, Ottawa began hosting its own fair called the Central Canada Exhibition. Opened in 1914, the Horticulture Building is the one of a number of several permanent structures built at Lansdowne Park in the 19th and 20th century. From construction it served as an exhibition hall in the summer and a curling club, originally housing four natural rinks, in the winter. It was also the site of press rooms and a Banquet Hall where dignitaries visiting the exhibition were entertained. Alan Keefer, a prominent Ottawa architect, designed the building. Keefer studied architecture at MIT in the United States, returning to Ottawa to practice in 1905. Keefer was responsible for commercial and institutional designs including the Ashbury College, the Ottawa Ladies College, he is best known for designing many notable houses in Rockcliffe Park including Waterstone, 725 Acacia Avenue, constructed for Frederic and Gertrude Bronson and Lindenelm, 11 Crescent Road constructed for Wilson Southam and his own house at 741 Acacia Avenue. He also served as Assistant Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works. Architecturally, the Horticulture Building is an excellent example of the Prairie style in Canada, and is a rare institutional building designed in the style. The Prairie style originated in the American Midwest in the late 19th century and is considered one of the first truly North American architectural styles. Typical of the style, the Horticulture Building features rectilinear massing, a horizontal profile, flat roof, wide overhanging eaves, and windows with a geometric muntin pattern. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

News - Bradley’s General Store (nee Alexander Hotel). Born c. 1875. Died July 28, 2014. A landmark in the heart of Stittsville for 139 years, this two storey brick building was enjoying its old age, in the midst of being renovated as a restaurant/pub, when a midday fire ravaged the structure on Monday, Sept. 9, 2013. Ensuing structural studies determined that the building could not be economically restored and despite appeals by heritage advocates, the JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND city of Ottawa eventually agreed to allow the Two giant backhoes start cleaning up the rubble after demolishing the historic Bradley’s demolition of the building despite its heritage General Store building and rear storage shed at 1518 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville designation. last Monday morning.

The late Karl Skoff purchased the property in 1972 and Mrs. Skoff still lives in the family home towards the rear of the property. When built around 1875, this building was first owned and operated by William Alexander as a hotel. It was a prime location for such a hotel and stopping place, just across the road from Stittsville’s railway station. The building’s first floor saw use for a variety of commercial uses over these early years, even when it was a hotel. These uses included a tinsmith’s shop at one time which is believed responsible for the pressed tin interior found in the building. Bradley’s Store was the location for the first gasoline pump in Stittsville. In the 1920’s, Bradley’s General Store also served as the location for Stittsville’s post office. It also served as a community gathering spot where the latest news and gossip made the rounds. In the 1940’s and 1950’s, the custom had developed to shop on Saturday evenings so that while the ladies were shopping, men and children would sit at the front of the store and listen to “Hockey Night in Canada” on the radio.

It would remain the home for Bradley’s General Store until 1961 when then-owner Bill Bradley opened a new IGA grocery store farther south on Stittsville Main Street, opposite the current Stittsville Post OfďŹ ce. Bill Bradley’s son, Paul, later took over operation of this grocery store and eventually relocated to new premises at the Stittsville Shopping Centre, operating under the Your Independent Grocer banner. Paul Bradley eventually retired, ending three generations of Bradley ownership of Stittsville’s primary grocery store. The store’s successor is Brown’s Your Independent Grocer operated by Todd and Sandra Brown. Over the years since the building ceased to house Bradley’s General Store, it had been a fabric shop, a woodworking business, a tea room, a taxidermy studio, and a restaurant – initially Louisiannie’s and later the NOLA New Orleans Eatery which had closed earlier last year.

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

July 25th, 2014 Goulbourn Pool information I am providing a tentative timeline for the completion of the Goulbourn pool: A report was sent to Council last month, requesting the funding to repair completely and effectively the GRC pool. Several shortcomings of the original construction prior to the new City were discovered once walls were opened up requiring attention. Funding was approved and in an effort to ensure obtaining qualified and experienced contractors, a Request for Pre-Qualification (RFQ) for General Contractors was issued earlier this month and closed this week on July 22nd. Evaluation of the proposals will occur from present through July 30th. Any proposal achieving minimum 70% score will be invited to submit a bid. Tender Schedule: Contract documents to be completed by early to mid August 2014. The Project will be immediately tendered with the award of the Contract expected to be in mid September, 2014. The contractor is expected to commence mobilization on site in late September. The contractor is to prepare shop drawings and order material, specifically structural steel. The contractor is to commence full construction activities on site in early October 2014. The target Substantial completion date is May 2015.

Mesmerizing performance at Gaia Java John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Apart they were awesome. But it was when they sang together, combining their melodic voices and musical talents, that the duo of Keli Jay and Mollie Roy became enchanting and musically mesmerizing. Those at the packed Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its music evening last Friday were treated to a song-filled performance, first by Keli Jay, then by Mollie Roy and finally by the pair together, combining their talents. Both are entering their second year in vocal music at Queens University in Kingston. Keli, daughter of Gaia Java owner Paul Jay, is a graduate from the vocal program at Canterbury High School while Mollie attended Nepean High School. Keli Jay, accompanying herself on the guitar, led off with “Best Song Ever” by the English-Irish pop boy band

Got Events?

One Direction and followed it up with a wide range of songs by both established and newer artists, ranging from Bob Dylan and Elton John to Lady Gaga to the American rock band The Black Keys. She followed up “Best Song Ever” with “Make You Feel My Love,” written by Bob Dylan and first released by Billy Joel. The song has since been covered by numerous artists from Garth Brooks to Adele. Among her offerings was Elton John’s “Your Song” which she described as one of her favourite songs. This ballad was a top ten hit for Elton John when it was released in 1970 and in 1998 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Keli was joined by her father Paul to provide the percussion and drum accompaniment to her rendition of “Little Black Submarines,” a 2012 song by the American rock duo The Black Keys that begins as a quiet acoustic ballad before transitioning into a more rock arrangement. She followed this up with “You and I” by American singer Lady Gaga, a slower tempo song that Lady Gaga debuted in 2010, inspired by her relationship with a former boyfriend. And so it went, as Keli sang song after song for 45 minutes, all with an engaging intro giving a glimpse of her own relationship with the song. Indeed, Keli’s performance not only wowed the audience but impressed her father Paul who admitted in his remarks to the audience that he had never heard his daughter sing before in the way that she had just performed. Keli’s friend Mollie Roy began her performance with “Wagon Wheel,” a song which she said that she has sung

in her role as a camp counsellor. This 2013 song has a connection with Bob Dylan who originally sketched the song which was later completed by Ketch Secor of the Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show. Mollie accompanied herself on the guitar not only for this song but throughout her performance even though it was the first time that she played the guitar in front of an audience as she is just learning the instrument. She followed up “Wagon Wheel” with “Latch,” a song by the British duo Disclosure which helped singer Sam Smith rise to stardom. Mollie went on to sing, among other songs, “Titanium,” the hit single for French music producer David Guetta; “The Best Day,” a Taylor Swift hit that Mollie did in honour of her mother who was in attendance at the performance; “The Way I Am,” a song by American indie-pop singer Ingrid Michaelson; “Lego House,” a song from English singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran’s debut album (Ed Sheeran was nominated for best new artist at the 2014 Grammy Awards); “Talk You Down” by The Script, an Irish rock band; and “Thirteen Thirty Five” by the Brazilian-born singer Dillon which Mollie described as a pretty song but advised not listening to the content. After Mollie’s half hour performance, the evening then concluded with Keli and Mollie performing to-

gether, combining their angelic voices in several songs, beginning with “Little Talks,” a song which achieved international success by the English language indie folk-pop band from Iceland known as Of Monsters and Men. Keli sang and played the guitar for this song while Mollie sang while playing the ukulele. Keli and Mollie followed up “Little Talks” with “Radioactive,” a song by the American alternative rock band Imagine Dragons and a song which in 2013 Rolling Stone magazine named the biggest rock hit of the year. Keli and Mollie performed their version of the Miley Cyrus hit single “We Can’t Stop,” a song which talks about a house party and recreational drug use. It has sold over two million copies since being released as a single from her 2013 album Bangerz. After finishing up with “Holding Out For A Hero,” the pair were enticed to do an encore which turned out to be the engaging “That’s What’s Up,” a 2012 release by the American indie folk band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, with lyrics like “I’ll be the church/You’ll be the steeple” and “You be the book/I’ll be the binding.” The performance ended with a plug for a concert happening this coming Saturday, Aug. 2 at the Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean featuring various forms of music written and performed by youthful Ottawa area musicians.

This is Dave Gordon’s oil canvas painting entitled “Jay’s Course” showing a golf course old with a golf green surrounded by water and trees which was in the silent auction at the fourth annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Classic on Saturday, July 19 and which was given by the highest bidder Blake Berry to Jay’s parents, Rheal and Janet Bilodeau of Richmond. It is now hanging in their living room in memory of Jay.

game of golf. Professionally framed, it is 20 inches by 30 inches in size and is not only a marvelous painting but it is a reminder of the true beauty of the sport of golf. Dave Gordon, who is originally from Richmond, now lives in Napanee. Blake Berry, a friend of Jay’s, was the highest bidder for this painting in the silent auction and he presented the painting to Rheal and Janet Bilodeau to hang in their home. They have now hung it in their living room in memory of Jay. Gary Joslin of Richmond, a family friend, donated a hand crafted kitchen set which he hand made. With meticulous detail, Gary created a beautifully crafted salt shaker and pepper mill, using hand picked sapele which is a type of mahogany. He also made a sea salt cellar with the bowl made of an exotic wood called bubinga with a rotating lid of gorgeous black walnut. The set also includes a chopping bowl made using hard maple as well as an Alaska ULU knife with a stand. Gary Joslin was the craftsman who made a memorial bench in memory of Jay. This bench was at this year’s tournament. The successful bidder for this hand crafted kitchen set was Audrain Kingsman, wife of David Kingsman who is chair of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. It is such community support and generosity which makes it all so worthwhile for the Bi-

lodeau family and organizers to hold this annual memorial golf tournament in Jay’s memory. The tournament is held in memory of Jay Bilodeau, son of Janet and Rheal Bilodeau of Richmond. Jay was just 22 years old when he died in March 2011 as a result of drug addiction. All of the proceeds from this year’s tournament are again going to the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation. Jay Bilodeau’s death in 2011 brought about the formation of an organizing committee which includes Jay’s younger sister Renee which has organized this memorial tournament each year since Jay passed away. The tournament is held near the second

week of July since this is close to Jay’s birthday which was July 14. Funds raised by the tournament go to the Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre which works to help youth aged 13 to 21 to overcome substance abuse and related challenges. The hope is that the funds raised will help the Dave Smith Centre help other youth and their families who are facing challenges like those that Jay faced. Increasing public awareness of youth mental health and drug abuse are positive steps that need to happen in today’s society to improve and increase the help and resources available to those in need in such circumstances.

Registration for ringette is now open online Special to the News

Sports - The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) offers a range of ringette programs for players of all ages. WORA draws its players from the Stitts-

ville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton areas. Online registration for the 2014-15 season is now currently open at www.westottawaringette.com . It all starts for those as young as four

years old with the “Bunnies” program in which youngsters between the ages of 4 and 7 participate in a learn-to-skate program as well as being introduced to the game of ringette. Known as a “Bunny,” a youngster in

this program does not play any formal league games but participates in scrimmages with Bunnies from other ringette associations throughout the area. For players from age 7 up through age 18, WORA offers both recreational and competitive ringette program opportunities. League play runs from early October through to the end of March. Home arenas for WORA teams include those in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. Away games can take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau, among other locations. Teams also the opportunity to participate in tournaments, playing against other teams and also having fun with their teammates while meeting ringette players from other areas of the region and the province. Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. There are six players from each team on the ice at any one time – two forwards, one centre, two defense and one goalie. Ringette is related to ice hockey in that similar protective gear is worn and a similar ice playing surface is used. But the rules and approach to the game are quite different. In ringette, instead of passing a puck, players “stab the ring” which is ringette’s equivalent of the puck. Players are not permitted to carry this ring over the two blue lines as it must be passed to another player to cross the blue line. This adds an essential team aspect to the game. A ringette stick is similar to a hockey stick but with no blade. It must be placed inside the ring with the player then controlling it until there is an opportunity to pass it to a teammate or to take a shot on net. The ring tends to be easier to control than a puck in hockey but that’s where the blue line rule makes an impact. Since the ring has to be passed over the blue line to another player, ringette ends up with more passing than in hockey. This means that passing and skating are vital in ringette as is teamwork. Another difference between ringette and hockey is that only three players from each team are allowed inside the zone between the red line and the goalie. More details about the West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA), its programs and the game of ringette in general can be found at the website www.westottawaringette.com.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories

OC 12 CU 0 D PA AY NC Y

her cheeks, and I noticed back then with envy, there wasn’t a freckle anywhere in sight! Although we became fast friends, our lives were as different as night was from day. First of all Joyce lived in a brick house...ours was log. There was a flush toilet, with real toilet paper. Ours was behind a cluster of cedar trees, with an Eaton’s catalogue on a spike! But when Joyce came to our farm to play, she used the outdoor privy just as if there was no difference between it and her modern facility at home. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce had her very own bedroom, as did her brother Allan. I remember now, so many decades later, flowered wallpaper somewhere. Joyce had a little wood pencil box...I think now, the only one at the Northcote Public

School, but perhaps there were others, but I remember hers in particular. My pencils and eraser were in a little homemade drawstring bag. You opened Joyce’s pencil box with your thumbnail, and it swivelled open, and there inside were her pencils and art gum, as neat as you please. And one Friday, Joyce let me take her wood pencil box home for the weekend. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce wore store-bought underwear...mine were flour bags. Joyce wore little white socks with lace around the cuffs. She wore hand-knit sweaters. In spite of all this, what I considered grandeur, Joyce and I were best friends. It mattered not to her, that I came from a big rambunctious family, whom were poor as church mice, and most of my clothes were hand-medowns, or ‘made-overs’. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was.

Editor’s note: Mary Cook’s friend Joyce, mentioned frequently in her columns over the years, has passed on. Mary has written this special tribute to Joyce, her lifelong friend. Lifestyle - People often ask if my little friend Joyce really existed...or did I just create her to flesh out my Depression memories. She did indeed exist! And I remember that first day at school, so very many years ago when a friendship was forged that would last for many decades down the road. What I remember so well, as the little girl sat directly across from me in one of those little desks with the drawer under the seat and the ink well implanted in the right hand corner, was her beautiful complexion. She had skin as fair as a lily, with a faint blush to

A tribute to Joyce

Joyce’s father drove a modern car. Until we got our old Model T in a trade, we had to rely on Queenie, the buggy in the summer, and the cutter in the winter. And often I was taken into Renfrew in that spanking new car, driven by Joyce’s father, and we would stop at Briscoe’s General Store for an ice cream cone, on Joyce’s suggestion. She knew for me, ice cream cones were a very infrequent treat. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce never lost her love of life. She married, had two children Frank and Janice, and was then widowed. Derek Smith, who shared Joyce’s love of art, came into her life and they shared a dozen wonderful happy years together. When her memory started to fade, she depended more and more on her family. Finally, she made her home with her daughter Janice, who often compared her Mother’s failing memory to that of a very young child. And then, this gentle soul, this dear friend of mine for many decades, slipped away in her daughter’s arms on Saturday night, July 26 in Toronto. Those of us who had Joyce in our lives for decades will cherish those memories that set her apart from oth-

ers. She will continue to live on in my stories, and those of us who have had the privilege of calling her a friend will meet in the little Northcote United Church to say our final

goodbye on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 10:30 a.m., and then we will gather in the one room school house next door to share memories of my little friend Joyce Francis Fricker.

News - Changes are about to happen at Tim Hortons on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Owner Don Godbold says that the restaurant will have “a whole new look” both inside and outside after extensive renovations that are expected to take about four weeks. During this time, starting on Tuesday, Aug. 5 and running until early September, the restaurant itself will be closed, with a portable trailer set up on site to handle both continuing drive-thru customers as well as walk-up clientele. There are even plans to set up a picnic area outside so that customers can sit and enjoy their coffee or other Tims goodies. Indeed, the portable trailer will offer a menu with all major Tims items on it – it just may not be quite as extensive as the one in the existing store. And just what will happen in these renovations which Mr. Godbold says should make the restaurant “look completely different”? Well, there will be some booths installed to the right of the entrance door, providing a seating area with a little more privacy than the tables there at present. A community table capable of seating eight people will be part of the new restaurant. This will be great for the groups of people who frequently meet at Tims but would all like to sit together. Other than the new booths in one area and this community table, free standing tables and chairs will be present elsewhere in the renovated store. One exception will be one area where there will be easy chairs, a fireplace and a TV screen. Even behind the counter is going to take on a new appearance. The renovated restaurant is going to have a new open concept kitchen, known as “theatre baking.” The restaurant’s ovens will be in full view behind the counter, with customers able to see the baking taking place. This is a new concept for Tims which has now already been installed in a lot of Tims

restaurants. There will be new flooring and a new ceiling installed, all helping to have the premises seem like a brand-new store. Seating capacity for the restaurant will stay the same as present. But this is not all. The exterior of this Tims will be changed as well. There will be awnings installed and the lighting will be a little different. Plans are to hold a grand opening of the renovated restaurant in September. Tim Hortons tries to completely renovate and refresh its restaurants every ten years. In this case, the renovation has not happened for 11 years as this Stittsville Main Street Tim Hortons first opened on Sunday, July 13, 2003. Owners Don and Sandra Godbold have been asking customers for input about the renovation. The large community table was one option for the renovation that regular customers thought would be a great idea and that’s why it’s part of the upcoming renovation.

Mr. and Mrs. Godbold say that an option during the renovation period for customers who might not want to patronize the portable trailer would be to visit their nearby Tim Hortons outlet on Carp Road in Stittsville. This Tim Hortons on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville has been open since July 2003. The late Ray Thomas of Stittsville was the first customer served at this Tim Hortons when it opened just after 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 13. This Stittsville Main Street Tim Hortons is a 3,030 square foot restaurant with a drive-thru. The Tims Hortons chain, which is the largest national chain in the coffee and fresh baked goods business in Canada, began in 1964 when the first outlet opened in Hamilton, offering only two products, namely coffee and donuts. Since then, the product range has grown, with Timbits, a bite-sized donut, muffins, cakes, crossants, cookies, soups, chili, sandwiches, bagels, cappuccino, coffee cake and more.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

The Tim Hortons on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, which opened in July 2003, will be undergoing a complete renovation both inside and outside beginning next week. A portable trailer will be set up on site to continue to provide Tim Hortons products to customers, both drive-thru and walk-up.

Green balloons guide visitors in Munster John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Balloons marked the stops on last Saturday’s Munster Backyard & Garden Tour and it was only fitting that they were green, matching the green thumbs of the homeowners involved. There were six stops on the tour – five in Munster proper and one on Biltmore Crescent in Biltmore Estates located at the southwest corner of Munster Road and Fallowfield Road. The stops in Munster itself were at 2 Otterburn Street, 31 Coldstream Drive, 48 Butterfield Road, 45 Butterfield Road and 25 Butterfield Road. In addition, a light lunch at a minimal fee was provided at the Munster United Church on Munster Road in the heart of Munster. This Munster Backyard & Garden Tour was organized by the Munster Community As-

sociation with sponsorship by the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society and with the involvement of Munster United Church. At the tour stop at 31 Coldstream Drive, gardener Mary Sunderland not only welcomed visitors and provided tours of her flower gardens but also provided jars of homemade jelly to the first visitors to her site – jelly which she made using crabapples from a giant mature crabapple tree which covers a section of her backyard. She also provided samples of the jelly on a cracker to visitors. Mary has garden areas including a major one in a central location where an above-ground pool once stood. Now, it is an oasis of floral colour, not only in mid-summer with its perennials and self-perpetuating annuals but also in the spring with a variety of tulips. One unique feature of this garden area is the shape of the patio stones forming a pathway through the area. These stones are in the shape

of giant footprints. Mary says that she prefers low growing and equally slow growing perennials for her garden, as this makes for easier care. And she is modest about her maintenance efforts in her gardens. “I don’t do anything,� she says. “I just play.� At times, she does spread compost from her home composter in the garden, not only providing good growing conditions for her flowers but also even having such things as a tomato plant start growing in the garden thanks to a seed which was discarded in the compost. This central garden also has a water fountain feature and a hanging floral basket attraction. It is the view of the garden from her kitchen window at the rear of the house which is the most important vantage point of the garden for Mary but there is also nearby sitting area for a closer, outdoors view. She has bird feeders hanging from the cra-

bapple tree as well as elsewhere in the backyard. Among the birds which the garden attracts are hummingbirds, not only because of the feeders but also due to some of her flowers like the bee balm or monarda which are well known to be appealing to hummingbirds. And her garden has colour throughout the year, starting with her bed of tulips in the spring and progressing through the year with iris, phlox, brown-eyed susans, Explorer roses and more, all the way to the fall where some mums brighten up the garden. The Sunderland home backs onto forested land which means that the backyard and garden are sometimes invaded by deer. Mary acknowledges that deer love to graze on tulips which has endangered her tulips on occasion. The Sunderlands have lived at this location for 43 years as they were among the first families to reside in Munster.

News - Organizers are happy with the first ever Munster Backyard and Garden Tour last Saturday in Munster. Almost 40 visitors turned out to enjoy the tour which included six gardens. These visitors came from Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Kanata, Carleton Place, Almonte, Merrickville, Orleans, Constance Bay, downtown Ottawa and London. Munster United Church volunteers provided delicious light refreshments at a minimum charge in the church basement which many of those on the tour enjoyed. The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society not only gave the Munster Community Association a donation to initiate and organize the tour but provided invaluable advice about holding such an event. The gardeners involved were cooperative and, most importantly, provided their beautiful gardens for the visitors to see and enjoy. Feedback from the visitors was very positive as everything seemed to fall into place for the tour. Even the weatherman cooperated as the weather remained good with no rain. The funds raised by this Munster Backyard and Garden Tour will be divided between two charities. A decision on which two charities will be made in the near future.

MARY COOK It was hard to beat the heat on the farm Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - “Always had fans in New York,” Mother said, sitting in a straight-back chair in the darkened kitchen. “Just plugged them in and away they went. Cooled the whole house down in minutes.” Well, there would be no fans on the farm in Northcote. With no electricity, we had to rely on other ways to keep the old log house cool. Sometimes they worked, but most times, the heat of the summer won out. The Findlay Oval had already been rolled out to the summer kitchen on two logs, and we tried to keep the door closed between the summer and regular kitchens, but that didn’t always work either. It was almost pitch dark in the kitchen. When the heat of the summer came with a vengeance, Mother immediately began the almost impossible task of keeping the house cool. Her first job was to take quilts out of the trunk where they had been stored after winter, and cover each window in the kitchen. There they hung, shutting out the blasts of the sun that hit the old house from early morning until after our suppers at night, and turning the room almost pitch black. To let a bit of light into the kitchen, Mother took a safety pin and fastened up the ti-

niest corner of each blanket, to take away from the total darkness. Father wasn’t the least bit happy with this arrangement, and said there had to be other ways to cool down the house. “Yes,” Mother retorted sharply, “if we had electricity, we could have fans.” As if poor Father could do anything about that. It was hard enough to find the money to buy coal oil for the lamps. Of course, there was no covering the windows in the summer kitchen. That would have served no purpose with the cook stove blasting away from early morning until after supper. So the main kitchen was always the coolest room in the house, and that was where Mother had collapsed that day, with her face beat-red, and the sweat rolling off the end of her nose. The noon meal was cooking out in the summer kitchen, and Father and the brothers had already washed up at the basin on the bench at the back door. When they opened the door where Mother, Audrey and I were trying to cool off, a blast of hot air swept into the room like a blowtorch. “Shut the door,” Mother yelled.

The Fairwinds Community Association’s “End-of-Summer Grill and Chill” BBQ will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Par-la-Ville Park in Stittsville.

Peaches and cream mini Pavlovas are named for famous ballerina Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Lifestyle - The Pavlova dessert was named for famed Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, after her visit to New Zealand and Australia. Mini meringues are best made on a dry, not humid day and can be made a day or two ahead and stored in a sealed container. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking time: 50 minutes. Standing time: 2 hours. Makes 18 Pavlovas. Ingredients Pavlovas: * 2 egg whites, at room temperature * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cream of tartar * 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) salt * 125 ml (1/2 cup) granulated sugar Peaches and cream filling: * 125 ml (1/2 cup) whipping cream * 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) vanilla * 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced, peeled peaches * 18 thin slices of peeled peaches * Fresh mint leaves

Preparation Draw eighteen five-centimetre (two-inch) circles, at least five centimetres (two inches) apart, onto two pieces of parchment paper cut to fit baking sheets. Flip the paper over. Pavlovas: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar 15 ml (1 tbsp) at a time; beat until the mixture is stiff and glossy. Spoon about 15 ml (1 tbsp) of meringue onto each circle, making a good indentation with the back of a spoon into each. Place the baking sheets on two oven racks in 120 C (250 F) oven. Bake for about 50 minutes, switching halfway through, until crisp on the surface. Turn off the oven, and open the door a crack. Let the meringues cool for about two hours. Peaches and cream filling: In a small deep bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until thick. Fold in the diced peaches. Immediately fill the meringues with the cream filling. Top each with a peach slice and mint leaf. Serve immediately.

Mary Cook: Heat on Northcote farm

Continued from page 39

With great effort Mother got off the chair, and as if bracing herself for battle, stood in front of the door separating the two kitchens, making sure Audrey and I were right behind her, and the three of us went out like a bolt of lightning to keep the cool air in, and the heat out. Of course, there was no such thing

as a salad plate for dinner at noon hour. Father had to have his meat, potatoes, vegetables, and dessert regardless what the big Supertest thermometer said, nailed to the outside frame of the back door. We three headed back into the cooler kitchen, which by noon hour was fast taking on the outside heat of the day, but still wasn’t as hot as

where Father and the brothers were forking in their dinner. Mother again collapsed into a chair. I picked up a copy of the Renfrew Mercury and stood beside Mother’s chair and fanned her with all my might. She stopped wiping her face with the tail of her apron, and sighed with a contentment we hadn’t seen demonstrated all day.

Blood donor clinic coming on Aug. 26 Special to the News

News - A community blood donor clinic will be held in Stittsville on Tuesday, Aug. 26. The clinic, held by Canadian Blood Services, will take place at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall on Shea Road in Stittsville, running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinic, please visit the website www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888236-6283). Every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. That’s why the need for blood donations is constant and ongoing. It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. Blood that is donated has a

definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. The challenge is that blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. So the need is always there

and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, HemaQuebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Stittsville is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

Stittsville Food Bank has desperate need for certain items Special to the News

News - The Stittsville Food Bank is always in need of donations, both food items and money. But some food items are needed more than others at certain times. This is when the Food Bank has a good supply of some items, filling the shelves, while other items are in desperate need, with the shelves for them bare. Right now, the Stittsville Food Bank has a desperate need for tea and coffee, cans of juice, Cheez Whiz, pancake mix and syrup, granola bars, jam, muffin mix, hamburger helper and Chunky Soup. The Stittsville Food Bank right now is well stocked with dry pasta, Kraft dinner, peanut butter, baked beans, canned soups, canned pasta, canned tomatoes, salmon and tuna. And donations of money are really appreciated as the Food Bank uses these monetary donations to provide perishables such as milk, cheese and eggs. And right now, fresh produce is available and what a treat that is for Food Bank clients! The Stittsville Food Bank really appreciates all of the support which it receives from Stittsville and area residents throughout the year. Any donations are certainly most appreciated. But the Food Bank is asking that, if possible, please consider donating items on its “desperate” list. Let’s fill up those bare shelves so that all of the shelves at the Food Bank will be full of their respective items. And, in addition, a monetary donation would be much appreciated, especially at this time of the year when fresh produce can be purchased and provided to Food Bank clients. Donations of food items for the Stittsville Food Bank can be placed in any of the Food Bank drop-off bins around the community. These bins are located at Food Basics on Hazeldean Road, at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Stittsville Main Street, at Stittsville Sobeys on Hazeldean Road at Carp Road, at Giant Tiger at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza, outside city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri’s ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road and at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road. There are also periodic food drives held by various organizations and groups in the community to which you can donated food items. Financial donations can be made by sending a cheque made out to the Stittsville Food Bank to the Stittsville Food Bank, P.O. Box 878, Stittsville, ON K2S 1B1. The

Stittsville Food Bank is a registered charitable organization and a tax receipt will be issued by mail for monetary donations. You can also donate online by going to www.CanadaHelps.org and indicating that you want to donate to the Stittsville Food. The annual United Way campaign is another way in which you can donate financially to the Stittsville Food Bank. You can specify that you wish your donation to be

directed to the Stittsville Food Bank. The Stittsville Food Bank is run entirely by volunteers. There are about 50 volunteers who collect, organize and distribute the donated food. The Stittsville Food Bank is governed by a Board of Directors. Current Board members are Theresa Qadri, chair; Ayah Stretch, vice-chair; Wayne Beaten, treasurer; Cindy Beauchamp, secretary; Ferzana Qadri, di-

rector of client services; Laurie Scheer, director of inventory; Jamie-Lynn McLaughlin, director of food drives; Lynn Rooke, director of food donations; Barbara Cordukes, Paula Farrell and Jo-Anne Ilkiw, directorsat-large; and Robin Derrick, past chair.

Letter of thanks about Richmond donor clinic

News – Canadian Blood Services had a most successful community blood donor clinic in Richmond on Monday, July 21. Jennifer Heale, the territory manager for Ottawa West for Canadian Blood Services, has forwarded the following letter of thanks to the community for its support of this blood donor clinic. The letter reads as follows: “Canadian Blood Services would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the blood donor clinic at St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond on Monday, July 21. We had a very large turnout for this clinic and as a result we were able to collect 58 points of blood and meet our collection target. This is the best result we have seen in over a year and we are very grateful to everyone who took the time to help save a life by giving blood at the clinic. We are also aware that there were longer than average wait times at this clinic and are looking into the cause of the delay and taking steps to address this issue so that the situation is not repeated. Your donations in Richmond will contribute to re-building the national blood inventory after a challenging start to the summer. Thank you!”
