Fire causes $400K damage Staff

A building on Willowlea Road was destroyed by fire on the afternoon of Aug. 3. Firefighters responded with multiple vehicles shortly after the 2 p.m. alarm was raised. Upon arrival firefighters found fire in a boarded up large garage complex. The blaze appeared to destroy the end unit, taking out most of the roof, and damging the neighbouring unit. One firefighter was transported to hospital with a minor foot injury. Damage to the building and contents is estimated at $400,000. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined and the Ottawa fire department says it is under investigation.

The first round of Ottawa Idol hopefuls have already visited Hazeldean Mall, but the second round of auditions in Kanata has the competition’s founder expecting many more talented singers. This is the first year Ottawa Idol is holding its auditions at the Hazeldean Mall. Judges this year are singer-songwriter Danielle Allard, Dennis Combe, host of Internet-based Blue North Radio, and vocalist Jenna Taggart. The first round of auditions took place July 11 and 12, while many people on summer vacation, said Ottawa Idol founder Eldon Fox. “The August ones (from Aug. 15 to 16) are always a lot better,� he said. The judges are looking for well-rounded singers with stage presence, a professional attitude and singing ability as well, though he encouraged anyone who is interested to try out. “It’s a stepping stone to get judged by some professional

Jenna Taggart takes the microphone as her fellow Ottawa Idol judges keep the beat during Idol auditions at the Hazeldean Mall in Kanata on July 11. Taggart is a former Ottawa Idol finalist and is now in the process of recording an album. She also performs with her pop-indie ban, Fancy as Folk. people that give good advice,� he said. “We try to get (singers) to the next level all the time. Maybe they are not good enough at 13 years old to win it, but by the time they go a couple of years, with some advice and some coaching and whatnot, they are ready to go.� That has been the case for

many Ottawa Idol winners, he said, though last year’s winner was an exception. OrlÊans resident Bernice Reyes, then 15 years old, sang her way past her competitors to come out on top. She won over the judges with powerful ballads and her professional know-how, and with costume changes between each

of her songs in the finals. For the first time in the competition, she won a professionally written song and a sit-down interview with Universal Music, along with studio time. The winner of this year’s Ottawa Idol will receive the same award to help them on their way to a professional career. Reyes’s interview with Universal Music took place in early July, said Fox. “They are looking for her to get maybe a little more experience,� he said, adding that the meeting was a good first step. Reyes will soon be releasing a music video shot on Parliament Hill, along the Rideau Canal and other locations in Ottawa, featuring the song she won with in the competition, This Is Our Time, said Fox. The competition usually attracts between 150 and 175 contestants, with 25 of those going on to the semifinals after the Aug. 22 showcase at the Hazeldean Mall. From there, the final stages of the competition are held at Algonquin College’s Commons Theatre.

Nat Clavet ready to take on the nation Lacrosse player in Whitby to play for Team Ontario Special to the News

Mat Clavet of Stittsville is playing for Team Ontario at the Canadian national lacrosse championships in Whitby, ON this week. Mat, who is 12 years old, is playing for Team Ontario in the peewee division, competing against the best peewee players from across Canada in these championships which run through this Saturday, Aug. 8. Mat, who plays with the Nepean Minor Lacrosse Association locally, will be joined on Team Ontario by 11 year old teammate Willem Firth. They were selected for spots on the 18-member Team Ontario in tryouts that attracted more than 150 players from across the province. And Mat and Willem hold the quite a distinction on Team Ontario – Mat is the biggest player on the provincial team while Willem is the smallest. This is the same situation which prevails on their local Nepean Knights team. Mat is six feet tall and weighs 170 pounds. Willem is not quite five feet tall and weighs 70 pounds on a good day. So Mat and Willem are on opposite ends of the size spectrum. But for the two of them, this is not an issue at all. “We’re teammates. We’re buddies,” says Willem about the relationship between himself and Mat. “Yeah, he’s a lot bigger than me but we don’t really notice it any more. We love lacrosse.”

PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda, please visit Public Meetings and Notices on ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1.

io marks the pinnacle of play for a young lacrosse player. The Team Ontario players like Mat and Willem are competing this week against peewee aged players from all of the other Canadian provinces as well as from Team First Nations. Team Ontario went into the tournament as the favourite since Team Ontario has won six consecutive national championships. But being the defending champion also means that others teams, especially rivals like Team BC, Team First Nations and Team Alberta, will be gunning for Team Ontario and the opportunity to knock off the long-time champions.

Stretch the light rail plans

T

he province needs to step up and commit to funding Ottawa’s future light-rail system the same way Queen’s Park is backing transit in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton. In the next two years, the City of Ottawa will tender for Phase 2 of rail. That’s the phase that’s planned to reach some of the suburbs: Bayshore, Place d’OrlÊans, Baseline and Riverside South.That’s good news. But if construction stops at those points, it’s unclear when or if tracks will one day extend to the airport and the eastern edge of the city, at Trim Road. If Phase 2 includes rail from Bayshore to Trim and a link to the airport, we’ll have a system that serves the majority of potential riders. It will be possible for thousands of people to ditch their cars, and thousands more households will likely be able to live with just one car instead of two. There is still time to add Trim Road and the airport spur to the Phase 2 plans. It will obviously cost less if those sections of track are part of the Phase 2 tender, instead of a separate project priced out in future dollars.That’s why Queen’s Park should act. The province has committed to fund rail projects

in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton, even though those city’s plans are not as well formed as those here in Ottawa. Those provincial dollars are also earmarked without any matching federal or municipal commitments. If the Wynne government can afford that – and while it’s seeking ways to spend infrastructure money across Ontario – Ottawa deserves a more complete light rail network. The benefits of investing in this city’s light rail are clear. Giant infrastructure projects help the economy of the communities where they are based during construction, as well as afterwards, as people move more quickly to where they need to be. Every dollar spent on commuter rail will reduce the need for more and wider roads – many of them provincially managed. Dollars spent on rail take drivers off existing roads, meaning there’s a benefit even for those people who will never choose to use public transit. The province, the city and the federal government have each committed $1 billion to Phase 2 light rail. For the investment to really pay off, we need the province to stretch its dollars and stretch the rail system.

Paddling away anxiety

E

arly in July, Canadian veteran Trevor Petersen arrived in Ottawa to much fanfare after journeying for more than two weeks from Toronto to Ottawa on a stand-up paddleboard. Petersen, who returned to Canada seven years ago with posttraumatic stress disorder following his service in Afghanistan, learned to paddle as a form of therapy. The 43-year-old is now a certified paddleboard instructor and has spent the past few years paddling across various regions in Canada to raise awareness and money for PTSD and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Why paddling? “Paddleboarding was a very influential part of my healing

fered from minor anxiety. The usual things such as deadlines, financial worries, health concerns and children would sometimes accumulate and put me in an anxious state. To me, it was circumstantial and normal. About 18 months after my third child was born, my anxiety started to become overwhelming. I walked around most days feeling like someone was choking me. I’d wake in the night, fearing I’d missed some detail, checking the fridge and Facebook for answers. I ignored all the warning signs and I continued to push through with my business, organizing the family, worrying about friends with cancer. And then I had a panic attack. Having never experienced one before, I presumed it was a stroke and asked a friend to call an ambulance. Although an isolated experience, it scared me enough that I was DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 4RACI #AMERON ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AV'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST "RAD #LOUTHIER /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH #ARLY -C'HIE /TTAWA %AST 'EOFF (AMILTON (OME "UILDERS 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

determined to get my underlying anxiety in check. I started opening up to friends and family and quickly realized the majority of people I spoke to are on anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication. Medication, combined with therapy, can be a valid means of treatment. For personal reasons, I was determined to find an alternative to drugs. But – as Petersen suggested – the biggest culprit is failing to live in the moment. It’s no surprise that anxiety experts encourage people in the midst of a panic attack to focus on things they can touch, feel and see. Meditation is often recommended as therapy. I always joke that I can’t meditate to relieve anxiety because I’m too anxious. And that’s where paddling comes in. Long before I heard of Peterson, I bought myself a kayak. I find the combination of what the Japanese

Common courtesy means bikes stay off sidewalks To the editor,

Charles Gordon (“Protecting the people from themselves,” July 23) considers the world to be somewhat risky, and he offers a few exotic examples of this finding. Fortunately, we are not living in Cape Spear or French River, nor do we have a major league baseball team. But right here in Kanata, pedestrians face daily risks walking on sidewalks. The reason for these risks is the cyclists who have taken over sidewalks and go about their merry ways without any consideration of the people who are walking on them, many of whom are older and often somewhat infirm. I had thought there was a legal impediment to such behaviour, perhaps even a bylaw but, if there are any, cyclists seems to have no regard for them. Although it is usual to point the finger at young people, I am happy to say there is no age discrimination proposed here. (Indeed, children of five or six years of age cycling on learning wheels in front of their homes are exempted from the strictures suggested

below.) Violators of common courtesy and those who show indifference to the harm they might cause, include cyclists of all ages, genders, colours and, presumably religions. I guess they take to the sidewalk because there is no posted speed limit. Taxpayers have spent some money to provide bicycle lanes in streets for cyclists to use. When was the last time anyone saw a cyclist using one. Apparently, this was yet another misallocation of public revenues that could have been used for other purposes. Perhaps the politically correct political class in this city might consider that pedestrians also have a very small carbon footprint, and they are undertaking healthy exercise as well. Before pedestrians become another threatened species, perhaps Kanata councillors can take initiatives to ensure that cyclists share the road with other high-speed vehicles and initiate, or implement if on the books, restrictions on the use of sidewalks to protect pedestrians.

July 24th, 2015 Four more Streets to participate in Temporary Traffic Calming Project In 2013 the City of Ottawa, Traffic Services Branch, initiated a pilot project of Temporary (seasonal) Traffic Calming (TTC) treatments on a number of local and collector streets. The TTC treatment refers to the installation of flexible delineator signs or flex-stakes, on the centerline of a roadway, typically within school or playground areas. The initial results showed the effectiveness of the TTC devices in reducing speed and increasing driver compliance with the posted speed limit. As the treatments are seasonal only, they were implemented in late June 2013 and were removed by December 2013. By the end of the 2014 summer season the TTC Program included the installation of flex-stakes at a total of 53 locations across the City. City staff collected 2014 speed data before and after the installation of flex-stakes at each of the 53 locations in order to confirm their effectiveness. On average, for all 53 locations, the 85th percentile speed was reduced by 5Km/hr and the rate of compliance was increased by 20%. The three streets in Stittsville that participated in the TTC Program received the following speed data as a result of the TTC project; Kittiwake Pre TTC project, operating speed 56km/h, 7% compliance to posted 40km/h speed limit; During TTC project, operating speed 37km/h, 94% compliance to 40km/h speed limit; Hartsmere Pre TTC project, operating speed 48km/h, 54% compliance to posted 40km/h speed limit; During TTC project, operating speed 45km/h, 63% compliance to 40km/h speed limit; Fringewood Pre TTC project, operating speed 53km/h, 18% compliance to posted 40km/h speed limit; During TTC project, operating speed 47km/h, 57% compliance to 40km/h speed limit; This TTC project is a very low cost solution to speeding, that can be installed very easily and does not require any costly modifications to the roadway In addition to the three streets that are participating in the program once again this season, upon my request staff are including; Liard, Hartsmere, Hobin and two sections of Westridge Drive (Deer Run and Coyote Park areas). As a result of the width of the road on certain sections of Liard, Hobin and Hartsmere, local parking restrictions must be implemented to accommodate the TTC program. You can visit my web site to see the exact locations of the flex stakes for each street. 5970 Fernbank Road Proposed Subdivision The City has received a Zoning By-law Amendment and Plan of Subdivision application from Tartan Homes for a proposed development on their site at 5970 Fernbank Road located on the south side of Fernbank Road with frontage on Shea Road to the east, and is within the Stittsville South Urban Expansion Area (Area 6). This site is located in Councillor Scott Moffatt’s Ward 21 but given the close proximity to the Stittsville ward I will be actively involved in the application process. The applications are to permit the development of a 731 unit, mixed-density residential subdivision along with the associated roads and pedestrian pathways, servicing infrastructure, stormwater management pond, parkland and open space. The applicant has proposed a residential unit share of 329 single detached units (45% of total units), 108 semi-detached units (15% of total units), 122 townhouse units (17% of total units) and 172 low rise stacked and apartment units (24% of total units). The low rise stacked and apartment units will be located along Shea Road, east of the hydro corridor, and the single detached units will abut the existing residential community to the west. For more information and to view the plans please visit the my website at http:// shadqadri.com/stittsville-info/planning-dev/residential-development/ and www.ottawa. ca/devapps . A public meeting will also be planned to be held in the community at a later date. OC Transpo Routes to Shopping To provide comments and ensure you receive future updates on this proposed development please contact myself and Mary Ellen Wood, File Lead Planner at MaryEllen.Wood@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 x16482. In addition to the Express bus routes 261, 262 and 263 in Stittsville there are also routes 92, 96 and 162 that can provide residents with service from Stittsville throughout the day to the Shopping areas of Tanger Outlets, Kanata Centrum and downtown. In addition these routes 92 and 162 can be taken from the Canadian Tire Centre Park and Ride and the 96 from Terry Fox and Eagelson Park and Ride. Route 92: Replaces route 96A. Travels on Campeau Drive instead of Katimavik between Eagleson and Terry Fox. Route 96: Route 96A trips are replaced by NEW route 92. Travel time between St, Laurent and downtown increases by 5 minutes. Route 162 service will operate every 60 minutes during the following time periods: • Monday to Friday during the hours of: 1:00pm to 3:00pm and 7:00pm to 11:00pm • Saturday during the hours of 8:00am to 10:00pm • Sunday – no Route 162 service For more information and to plan your travel with OC Transpo please visit the OC Transpo web site. 10 Stittsville News - Thursday, August 6, 2015

Federal government funding to help make Lions Hall accessible Special to the News

The Lions Hall in Stittsville is on its way to becoming fully accessible. And the project received a major boost last Saturday with the announcement of $150,000 from the federal government to help make this project happen. The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Minister of Employment and Social Development, was on hand at the Lions Hall to personally deliver the news, pointing out that this $150,000 federal government contribution to the project will help provide a new entrance to the basement hall that will feature an elevator and the inclusion of fully accessible washrooms. Minister Poilievre noted in his remarks that the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street is a widely used facility, hosting 225 events in the past year. These included events for seniors, youth and other public events, he said while noting that the basement hall is not accessible for the disabled at present, commenting that its current entrance is less than ideal. This current entrance involves a set of stairs. Minister Poilievre said that one of his priorities as Minister of Employment and Social Development is to make spaces such as the Lions Hall fully accessible for the disabled and hence the federal government’s contribution to this Lions Hall project. The Lions Club is currently seeking

The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, centre, announces $150,000 in federal government funding to help make the Stittsville District Lions Club’s Medical Building and Lions Hall fully accessible at a gathering in front of the building last Saturday morning. Lions Club members who are behind Minister Poilievre are, from left, Lions Paul Riddell, Ron Armstrong, Jack Burke, Don Zogalo, Shad Qadri who is also the city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor, and Don Redtman who is president of the Stittsville District Lions Club. other grants and corporate and individual donations to complete the funding for the project which is estimated to cost anywhere from $250,000 to $500,000. The Club is currently seeking quotes from contractors for the project. The project, which the Lions Club hopes to have completed by the fall of 2016, will involve completely renovating the area under the Stittsville Medical Centre building’s current front canopy. It will be dug out for a lower level with an elevator and stairway installed, giving access to a new entrance to the Lions Hall which is in the basement of the Medical Centre building. The ground level of the canopy area will be enclosed with glass and will allow access to the building’s main floor medical practitioners. This whole renovation and improvement of the entrances to both the building’s main floor

and the basement hall will be done within the footprint of the existing front canopy area. The announcement of the $150,000 in federal funding for the project was made at this front canopy area, with Minister Poilievre joined for the announcement by Stittsville District Lions Club president Don Redtman and Stittsville District Lions Club member and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, along with a crowd of other Lions Club members, creating a sea of yellow Lions Club vests in the warm sunshine that prevailed for the occasion. Members of the Stittsville Lionettes Club were also on hand for the announcement as the Lionettes, a club comprised of spouses and supporters of the Lions Club, have supported the Lions Hall and its operation ever since it was constructed in 1979/1980.

Community bids farewell to church minister Special to the News

Christ Church Ashton has said farewell to its long time minister. The congregation said goodbye and paid tribute to Rev. Jim Kirkpatrick at the church’s last service in June. Rev. Kirkpatrick’s tenure as rector of Christ Church Ashton finished on June 30,2015. Rev. Kirkpatrick is now looking after another parish in the area for a while before he and his wife Amy relocate to Winnipeg for Rev. Kirkpatrick’s retirement years. In his final sermon, Rev. Kirkpatrick looked back on his years at Christ Church Ashton, recalling the various funerals at which he had presided and recounting memories of various parishioners and happenings.

The farewell service at the end of June was followed by a BBQ. Besides leaving his post as rector of Christ Church Ashton, Rev. Kirkpatrick has also resigned as secretary of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, a position which he had held since 2004. During his time on the Historical Society’s Board of Directors, he helped to revised the organization’s constitution. Rev. Kirkpatrick is the latest in a long list of clergy to serve Christ Church Ashton which is one of the oldest congregations in the area. The original Ashton Anglican Church building which is still standing was built in 1845 and was the first permanent church building in Ashton. It was in use until 1915 when the current Christ Church Ash-

ton was built. This year marks the 100th anniversary for the existing Christ Church Ashton building. Christ Church Ashton was first part of the Diocese of Toronto and was served by clergy from Richmond in its early years. Christ Church Ashton was incorporated into the Diocese of Ottawa when the diocese was formed in 1863, with Rev. Thomas Taylor as its first rector under the Diocese of Ottawa.

Rev. Jim Kirkpatrick, centre, front, is surrounded by parishioners as he is given a fond farewell by Christ Church Ashton at the end of June as he heads into retirement. John Brummell/Metroland

No ruff day: Dogs enjoy their party Special to the News

Stittsville went to the dogs last Saturday. That’s because it was the annual Doggie Party hosted by Bea McDaniels of Benji’s Place dog grooming studio on Stittsville Main Street. Bea holds this annual event in the backyard area of her home in Stittsville, with all of her clients and their dogs invited to attend. Both clients and the dogs enjoy an afternoon meal at the event, with Bea preparing a chicken meal for her four-legged friends. The food all comes from Sobeys on Terry Fox Drive at Hazeldean Road in Kanata. It’s not hard to understand why the dogs enjoy going to Benji’s Place so much. Many customers say that their dogs jump around in the vehicle when they are getting closer to arriving at Benji’s Place as they are excited to be going there. Indeed, Bea views her business as a dog’s spa, so why wouldn’t they

love going there. At Benji’s Place, every dog gets a full shampoo and cut including polished nails. Bea herself enjoys playing with the dogs, not just at the annual Doggie Party where traditionally lies down and plays with the dogs which surround her but also at the dog grooming studio. She readily admits that each dog has a special place in her heart. When a dog visits Benji’s Place, the dog gets treats and is given time to play with the other dogs that are there. And as an added attraction, the dogs can frequently be seen in the studio’s front window overlooking Stittsville Main Street as they enjoy watching the vehicles and people passing by on the street. Bea has loyal customers, She event has one customer in Toronto who makes sure that her dog visit Benji’s Place at least once a month. Now that’s loyalty! See DOGS, page 16

Dogs have their day Continued from page 15

Bea McDaniels of Benji’s Place has hosted this annual Doggie Party gettogether for her customers and their dogs ever since 2001. It is Bea’s way of showing her appreciation to her customers for their ongoing support and patronage. She appreciates all that her customers have done for her and she shows her thanks by hosting this annual party. Bea McDaniels herself is quite a success story. She grew up in Massachusetts and came to Canada with two suitcases and $200 in her pocket. She settled first in Montreal and eventually moved to Ottawa where she operated a floral design shop. Always a dog lover, she ended up taking an extensive dog grooming course and in 1996, she opened Benji’s Place in Stittsville, taking the name from the canine superstar Benji created by author Joe Camp.

Benji’s Place was originally established on Stittsville Main Street in premises that are now part of what is Quitters coffee shop. The dog grooming studio was then relocated to premises in the former MacDougall Sales and Service building on th4e west side of Stittsville Main Street at Hill Street, across from the Stittsville Legion Hall. This was followed by a move to the current location on the east side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Orville Street in space adjacent to Stittsville Picture Framing.

Bea McDaniels of Benji’s Place dog grooming studio in Stittsville plays with some of the dogs at her annual Doggie Party which she hosts for her clients and their dogs at her home in Stittsville every year. John Brummell/Metroland

Street checks unevenly target male minorities Ottawa police to continue outreach as province reviews street checks Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau says data showing black and Middle Eastern men are stopped by police more than other ethnicities is “very raw� and hasn’t been put into context. “There hasn’t been any analysis whatsoever or context behind the numbers,� he said before the police board meeting on July 27. A board report on the service’s street checks program

found that, of the 23,400 checks made between 2011 and 2014, 20 per cent targeted black residents, despite being only 5.7 per cent of Ottawa’s population in 2011. Similarly, Middle Eastern residents were stopped in 14 per cent of all checks despite representing only 4.6 per cent of Ottawa’s population. Meanwhile, white people – with more than 75 per cent of the city’s population - were stopped 58 per cent of the time, and Asians, who represent 11 per cent, were only stopped two per cent of the time. Eighty per cent of the stops targeted men, and 40 per cent were in their 20s. Bordeleau said the numbers are not concerning because Ottawa’s street check program isn’t random – a criticism that has caused

significant outcry in Toronto, where residents argue the practice of “carding� is biased toward visible minorities. “We don’t do random street checks,� Bordeleau said. “There has to be a reason why we stop an individual.� For example, if someone is wandering the streets at 3 a.m. in a neighbourhood that has had a rash of recent break-ins, an officer may stop that person to ask what

they’re up to. Depending on the information they get, it would be submitted to the data base as a street check, Bordeleau said. Or police could act on community tips. “When we get complaints from neighbours that there’s potential drug activity taking place, officers will stop individuals going in and out of the house and document those individuals, and those will go toward the investigation and hopefully a war-

rant,� Bordeleau said. He pointed out that the number of street checks conducted between 2010 and 2014 have been cut nearly in half, to 4,405 in 2014 from 8,240 in 2010. That’s largely to do with new quality assurance policies the service has started to implement to clarify what constitutes an appropriate street check, Bordeleau said. See DATA, page 23

Data showing bias still “raw” Continued from page 23

“As we’re adding a lot more clearance and guidelines for officers and direction as to when they are required to submit a street check, that has led to the number of street checks being diminished,” he said. But criminal defence lawyer Leo Russomanno argued street checks, as a matter of course, are a problem, even if they’re not random. He said most people don’t realize they have the right to refuse a street check, and as such they become de facto illegal. “If they don’t believe they have a choice to co-operate, they are being essentially illegally searched,” Russomanno said. He said officers should be informing everyone they stop that they have a choice to walk away. That’s particularly important in the context of the racial bias he said can be found in the numbers.

“There are some of us who are being stopped more than others, and it cries out for an explanation,” Russomanno said. “If you’re an ethnic minority, and you’ve been stopped 20 times, whereas I’ve never been stopped, then you might get a little bit annoyed and think, ‘the next time an officer stops me I won’t co-operate.’” He said the committee should be asking for a legal opinion on the legality of street checks, why the racial statistics are so skewed, and whether officers should be required to inform individuals of their right to refuse cooperation. “Otherwise, all we’re doing is taking advantage of the ignorance of the vast majority of the public,” Russomanno said. ONGOING STUDY

The provincial government announced this spring it will study the use of street check programs across Ontario,

with an eye on standardizing the practice province-wide by spring of 2016. But Ottawa’s police service has already been reviewing its own program, which has no formal policy despite the fact that more than 4,000 are performed each year. It plans to continue its consultation work this summer, the results of which it will share with the province. “We want to continue with internal and external consultations, because we think it’s going to contribute to a larger discussion in the community about bias-free policing,” said Inspector Mark Patterson, who has been leading the review. He added that the force wants to increase awareness in the community about how street checks are used and what rights an individual has when asked to participate. He said the service’s final policy will align with whatever standardized policy the province decides on next spring.

These breakfasts are held from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. The breakfast is only $6 per person. Bring the whole family and enjoy a great breakfast. A Legion Hop to the Winchester Legion and then to the Cardinal Legion is happening on Saturday, Aug. 22. For more information, drop by the Stittsville Legion Hall.

The Senators will be introducing new security measures at the Canadian Tire Centre by Sept. 20, which may irk some smokers.

Stay in, butt out, say Senators New security measures means smokers stuck inside during events Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Canadian Tire Centre is beefing up its security for the upcoming season which, in addition to installing walkthrough metal detectors, means fans won’t be allowed to leave the arena and come

back during games, even to smoke a cigarette. Senators Sports and Entertainment made the announcement detailing increased security measures on July 21, saying new technology and new policies will be in place before the NHL pre-season starts in September.

The NHL is requiring walk-through metal detectors like those used in airports at all arenas by this upcoming season to screen ticket-holders, said the Senators news release. The detectors will be used

New re-entry policy ‘for the greater good’: Leeder Continued from page 27

for all events at the Canadian Tire Centre, not just games, the organization said. But the Senators decision to change its reentry policy is not a league mandate. However, the league has encouraged it in the past, said Senators Sports and Entertainment president Cyril Leeder. “We’ve been edging this way for a while,” he said. NO RE-ENTRY

you’ve screened everybody in and then you have what we call a closed loop at that point,” he said. “You are very sure that there are no firearms, nothing that you should be concerned about in a serious situation within the building, and then any time you are allowing people to leave and come back in, you are exposing yourself to more of those opportunities.” In past years, smokers have had access to a fenced off area on the arena site’s grounds to use during games, but that has been gone for several years, said Leeder and will not be re-introduced. The effort needed to screen smokers back into the building was also a factor in going with the new policy, he said, with safety be-

ing the first consideration, with cost and logistics secondary. Asked if he is worried about backlash from the decision, or people getting antsy from doing without their nicotine fix during an overtime game, Leeder said he isn’t worried. “I’ve seen people in lots of situations where they are on an airplane or in confined spaces for longer than three hours and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any nicotine-related issues there. It’s not something we are concerned about,” he said. Leeder added that, while the Senators are committed to using the walk-through metal detectors, the organization is always open to reviewing its policies.

R0013395043

The policy change means ticket holders cannot leave the arena during an event and expect to return; re-entering the arena with the same ticket will no longer be allowed. “Exceptions will only be made in the case of emergencies,” said the news release. The release makes special mention of smokers, saying they will “be able to smoke in designated areas outside of the venue both before and after games and events,” but that they will not be able to leave the arena to light up during an event and then get back inside “under any circumstances.” With fewer people smoking and complaints about smoke entering the arena, the

change in policy is “for the benefit of the greater good,” said Leeder. “If you asked me 10 years ago, the number of people going outside for a cigarette was more than a thousand every game between periods, and now it’s down to 100 or 200 a night, so it’s certainly been in decline,” he said. “This (policy) clearly is one that you may have a few people that don’t like it, but from a security point of view and from a fresh air point of view, it’s better for the greater good,” said Leeder. The ultimate reason for the policy changes is safety and security, he said, as each time someone re-enters the arena there is another chance to smuggle in something dangerous. “It’s a more secure environment once

Manotick Soap Box Derby hopes to draw more Super Kids brian.dryden@metroland.com

The push is on to get more kids signed up to participate in the Super Kids races at this month’s Manotick Soap Box Derby. For the first time, the annual end of summer event in the village scheduled for Sunday, August 30, will include Super Kids races that give youngsters with special needs an opportunity to participate in the fun. So far just one youth has registered to take part in the Super Kids aspect of the Manotick Village Community Association sponsored event. But regardless of how many eventually register to take part, the Super Kids races will go forward, said derby organizer Allan Haan. “We’d like to have at least four, but if we get just one so be it. It would be disappointing, but we’ll go with just one,” Haan said. “It will not be cancelled.” The Super Kids program uses custom built two-seater derby cars specifically designed to allow children between eight and 18 years of age who have physical or developmental challenges to participate in soap box derby races. The addition of the Super Kids to this year’s Manotick soap box derby is a bit of a coup for derby organizers and the MVCA. “MVCA is delighted that the Canadian headquarters of Super Kids in Peterborough is lending us two of their special carts

this year so that we can offer children with special needs in the Ottawa area with the opportunity to participate in a soapbox derby,” the MVCA’s Sheila Dubyk said, adding Manotick’s derby is the only one in eastern Ontario to offer the Super Kids program this year. The carts on loan from Peterborough are expected to arrive in Manotick on August 16. Registration for the event at Centennial Park, next to the Manotick Arena, is well underway with all information potential participants need available at the MVCA’s website (www.manotickvca.org). Haan said for the derby as a whole registration is in line with previous years, adding that the pace of registration picks up in August as the event nears. Participants must be at least seven years of age to race and can purchase a kit online, or make a race cart from items found around the house. Specifications for the carts can also be found on the MVCA website. The MVCA also has a limited number of carts available that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community for youth who do not have a racing cart. The MVCA has 14 available slots for riders in the seven-sponsored carts. “The derby is really a family event during which kids can design and build their own carts with the help of a parent or grandparent,” Dubyk said. “This was one of the driving forces behind starting the Manotick Soapbox Derby five years ago.”

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

Do I need a Power of Attorney for someone to manage my assets if I am unable? In most cases, people should have a Power of Attorney as part of their estate plan. A Power of Attorney for Property allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf with regards to your assets in the event that you are unable. There are two kinds: Continuing and Non-Continuing.

(or persons) of your choosing will be able to act on your behalf and make decisions regarding your affairs in your best interests. This may involve small matters such as the paying of monthly utility bills or large matters, such as selling your home should it no longer meet your needs.

A Non-Continuing Power of Attorney allows your attorney, who you have appointed, to manage your assets but it ceases to have effect in the event that you become mentally incapacitated and unable to manage your own affairs. These are generally used for specific purposes where an individual will be unavailable for a relatively short period of time. For instance, someone embarking on an extended holiday may appoint someone as their attorney to deal with banking and investing while they are away.

If you do not have a Power of Attorney, your family members will be subject to considerable delay and expense in getting someone appointed to act on your behalf; the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee will be involved. Ultimately the person appointed may not be the person you would have chosen.

For most people, a Continuing Power of Attorney is appropriate for their estate plan. This allows someone to manage your assets and their power continues in the event of incapacity. A person

Specially designed cars such as these are being loaned to the Manotick Soap Box Derby so kids with physical or developmental challenges can take part in Super Kids races at the Aug. 30 event.

When preparing a Power of Attorney for Property, it is important to consider who to appoint and what type of powers they should have. The document must be executed in accordance with the legal requirements so it takes effect. These matters can be discussed with a lawyer who can consider your specific needs, ensuring your Power of Attorney works with your estate plan.

SchoolBOX singers raise funds for Nicaragua schools Special to the News

Education in Nicaragua got a musical boost last Friday. That’s because the regular Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop was a fundraiser for the Stittsville Build Crew which will be heading off to Nicaragua next year to help build a school there under the auspices of the SchoolBOX organization. And those in attendance not only got to enjoy the harmonic vocal sounds of the performers but they also learned more about the SchoolBOX organization and its work in Nicaragua thanks to Brooke Sullivan. She explained that SchoolBOX started in 2006 when Tom Affleck of Almonte provided a notebook and pencil to two young girls in Nicaragua. This gift allowed them to

attend school. The success of this experience resulted in SchoolBOX being created. Since then, it has grown and expanded and the organization now offers four different programs that are meant to make education for children more accessible in Nicaragua. There’s a Soccer Dreams program which organizes soccer tournaments and clinics for students. Then there’s a Books 4 KIDS program which sets up mini-libraries in the schools which are built. There’s also a Supplies 4 Success program which provides students with the supplies necessary for attending school. And then there’s the Tools 4 Schools program which builds schools in poverty-stricken communities in Nicaragua. See ORGANIZATION, page 34

Organization’s programs expanding Continued from page 33

Through these programs, SchoolBOX has provided an education for thousands of children in Nicaragua who otherwise would not have the opportunity for education. So far the Tools 4 Schools program has built 62 classrooms and 44 washrooms in Nicaragua. These schools, when they are completed, fall under the responsibility of the ministry of education of Nicaragua. This means that the former volunteer teachers in the community are paid and are no longer volunteers. A food program is implemented that does not just feed the students but their families as well. These new schools attract more students and the community benefits from these increased educational opportunities. SchoolBOX builds these

schools and classrooms thanks to both local workers and international volunteers. Brooke herself has experienced two trips to Nicaragua to be part of a school build project. Her first trip was last March Break, a trip which had been planned for three years. Brooke was then back three months later when she earned a spot on SchoolBOX’s Amazing People Trip which also included a $2,000 scholarship. Brooke told those at the Gaia Java shop that her trips to Nicaragua with SchoolBOX have been amazing and life changing. She said that she meet some amazing people and worked super hard. She explained that a typical SchoolBOX trip lasts for ten days including two days of travelling and five days working on a construction site, eight hours per day. The work is hard. Brooke “That was way to easy!”

herself did such tasks as moving cinder blocks, moving piles of dirt, sifting sand, pouring water to keep down the dust and making cement. Parents and youngsters in the community also help out. The work day on the construction site also includes breaks to play with the local children. Brooke pointed out that the impact that School BOX makes on communities in Nicaragua is immense. She had the opportunity on her second trip to visit the school that she had helped build on her first trip to Nicaragua and indeed to attend the opening ceremony. The finished school included four classrooms and two washrooms, impacting over 300 lives in that one community. Brooke said that many lives can be affected by the construction of a school through SchoolBOX. “I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings? “I can't believe I saved so much... ”

Ottawa Easy Riders hit the hit the road on two wheels Leah Burchill

If it’s Wednesday, it must be Ottawa. The Ottawa Easy Riders – a cycling club for recreational riders –

has been on the road for nearly a decade, setting out on Wednesdays for trips around the city. The club was founded in 2006 by Bob and Anne Hawley and Geoff and Eileen Wilson. They were all experienced cyclists when they met in Holland on a cycling trip. The Hawleys had previously cycled with the Carravelo group, a well-known cycling club in Montreal, and intended to create their own

cycling group here in Ottawa. Each year the Ottawa Easy Riders grow in numbers. “We’re at 24 to 30 members; a good size for a cycling group,” said Geoff. ‘We’re all largely retired people 50 and over.” The group meets weekly between the months of April and October to cycle every Wednesday. Each trip is in and around the Ottawa area. The riders kicked off their first trip this

The rides do involve physical activity however they are also a chance for members to socialize and make new friends who share the same enjoyment for cycling. During the rides, the group will often calculate break times to visit scenic views or interesting spots along the way. For more information, visit www. ottawaeasyriders.org.

year in April, starting their 21-kilometre trip at Hog’s Back Park. “The trips are 20 to 40 kilometres long,” Wilson said. “We travel farthest east to Cornwall and farthest west to Carleton Place, and into Gatineau.” To add to the list of routes the riders have cycled, in September 2014 about 20 Easy Riders took a trip to Germany and cycled within that country.

West End Golf Classic raises $4,000 for charitable causes Special to the News

Raising $2,000 for the Stittsville SchoolBOX Build Crew to help build a school in Nicaragua in July 2016. Awesome. Raising $2,000 for the Kidney Foundation for patient outreach and research programs. Equally awesome. And providing the opportunity for a person to register as a kidney donor, achieving a goal on her “list of things to do.” Priceless. But all of this and more including lots of fun playing golf, enjoying a delicious Sunday dinner and bidding on spectacular silent auction items were part of the West End Golf Classic which was held at the Irish Hills Golf and country Club

on a sunny Sunday, July 26. A total of 48 golfers enjoyed the golf while supporting both the Kidney Foundation and SchoolBOX, an organization that supports education in Nicaragua. Golfers participated in some fun fundraising activities such as “Beat The Pro” and a “Putting Contest.” The event ended with a delicious Sunday dinner during which golfers and guests were able to bid on a number of spectacular silent auction items. There was also a 50/50 draw and a packed raffle table. Prizes were handed out to the top team, the most honest golfers, the longest driver and to winners in a number of other categories such as best dressed.

Members of the winning team were John Cole, Bill Brownlee, Kevin Heaps and Chris Johnson. When it was all said and done, the golf tournament had raised $2,000 for the Kidney Foundation and $2,000 for SchoolBox. The funds raised for SchoolBox will help the Stittsville SchoolBox Build Crew reach its goal of $17,000 which is needed so that the group can travel to Nicaragua in July 2016 to help build a new school there. David and Lyn Presley, who are Trillium Gift of Life advocates, were on hand at the tournament to share information about the need for organ and tissue donation registration to help those now waiting on transplant lists.

The greatest need right now is for kidney donors. Indeed, at the tournament, David Presley, who is a kidney recipient himself after a six year wait on dialysis, registered a new donor through the website www.beadonor.ca. The new donor had becoming a donor on her “list of things to do” and now, thanks to the tournament, it is done. It only took a few minutes for her to realize this wish. The corporate sponsors and donors who came on board to support this tournament were essential in making the event a success. The organizers of this West End Golf Classic would like to extend a sincere thank you to the following corporate sponsors and donors: Ko-

diak Snowblowing & Custom Sheds; Corporate Golf; Pinecrest Remembrance & Cole Funeral Services; KPMG; Karson’s Group: Wigney Homes; Royals Restaurant: Stables (Kanata); Tony Graham Group; Irish Hills Golf and Country Club; Carp Fair Board (Robertson Amusements); Brown’s Your Independent Grocer; CIBC (Terry Fox Drive): Collins Barrow; Fundraisables; Mastermind Events; Walkerworks Picture Framing; M&M Fournier Group; city of Ottawa West Carleton/March ward councillor Eli ElChantiry; Carleton Hobbs Wineries; Pottery Playhouse; United Building Products (Shawn Blank); Dunrobin Village Meats; Sean Downey; Judy Fleming; Ryan Parkinson; Doug Norton; and Maureen McBride.

Ottawa Hospital leads research into cure for rare lung disease Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The world’s first clinical trial using genetically-modified stem cell therapy in the treatment of a rare and deadly lung disease is raising the hopes of doctors, researchers and patients. The results of the groundbreaking trial, led by the Ottawa Hospital and published in Circulation Research on July 20, are considered promising. Though still early days, the treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension could one day replace cumbersome and expensive treatments that are only moderately extending a patient’s life. “That’s why we need to develop better approaches. These therapies are not curative. They’re just holding some ground and eventually patients progress (towards death),” said Dr. Duncan Stewart, a cardiologist and executive

vice-president of research at the Ottawa Hospital who led the research, which was conducted in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.

We were clearly identified as the pioneers in this area and it was recognized how difficult this was to do and it was recognized how important this work really is Duncan Stewart

“What we’re looking at now is to develop a whole new approach, a whole new paradigm that would actually be curative,” Stewart said.

Richmond

Pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is characterized by very high pressure in the arteries that supply blood to the lungs, is striking down patients, many of them women in the prime of their lives. Survival rates have seen little improvement, but researchers are trying to change that. In the trial, which cost $3 million to $4 million, white blood cells from seven patients in Toronto and Montreal were harvested and grown in the lab for stem-like cells. These were genetically engineered to produce more nitric oxide, a natural substance that expands blood vessels and can repair damaged blood vessels. They were then injected into the damaged portion of the lung. In this therapy, both the injected gene and its carrier cell were engineered to help repair Erin McCracken/Metroland blood vessels, rather the just Dr. Duncan Stewart, a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital, prepares to look at dethe gene. cellularized lung tissue under the microscope in his research lab at the General campus See RESEARCHERS, page 41

Researchers considered pioneers in stem cell therapy for lung disease Continued from page 40

In the days after the treatment, researchers and doctors saw improved blood flow in the lungs, patients were able to exercise and they experienced a better quality of life for up to six months. “We were clearly identified as the pioneers in this area and it was recognized how difficult this was to do and it was recognized how important this work really is,” said Stewart, considered a pioneer in cardiovascular research. “This was the first genetically-modified cell therapy that we

had done, and is very unique in the cardiovascular world, not just pulmonary hypertension, but for all cardiovascular conditions.” Launching the first-of-itskind clinical trial took years, and the research team was also challenged in finding eligible patients because the disease is so rare. Primary pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, affects one to two people out of one million. However, the Ottawa Hospital is seeing more of these patients than ever before because they are living longer with the

disease. Doctors here follow at least 100 with PAH. Though drug therapies have improved in the last two decades “... none of these are cu-

The ultimate therapy that we hope to be able to give them is lung transplantation Duncan Stewart

rative,” Stewart said. “It used to be a five-year survival in 30 per cent or so, but it’s now gone to a survival of

more in the 50 per cent (range), probably because of drugs, but also I think we’re better at identifying the root of it.” Medical experts are trying to change this. “If you’re a 30- or 25-yearold person and your survival goes to five years from two years, that’s good, but it’s not very good,” Stewart said. While some patients appear to get PAH out of the blue for no particular reason, about 10 per cent of them have a family history of the disease. Of those, 80 per cent have a gene mutation. Approximately 30 per cent of

patients without a family history also have the gene mutation. There are still many unknowns about the disease, including its fundamental causes. Canadian researchers are currently testing their unique theories on how this gene is associated with the disease, and why women, especially those in their late 20s and 30s, are two to four times more likely than men to get it. Young people especially often face a rapid progression of the disease. “The ultimate therapy that we hope to be able to give them is lung transplantation,” Stew-

art said. Currently, patients can go downhill so quickly that they die while waiting for a transplant. “The real excitement and potential for this approach is that it could actually regenerate and restore the lost blood vessels in the lung, which could be a curative approach,” Duncan said, who hopes to conduct a larger phase-two trial with more PAH patients in two years’ time. “I think these drugs have been great. They’ve been very helpful, but they’re clearly not going to solve the problem for us.”

Parapan Am flame comes to life on Parliament Hill Nevil Hunt

The 2015 Toronto Parapan Am Games will begin Friday with a torch lighting ceremony using a flame lit on Parliament Hill on Aug. 3. After bringing the flame to life, the first torch relay runners then lapped the Hill, among them past para-sport medal-winners. At the same time, a sec-

ond torch was lit in Niagara Falls, and the two flames will meet in Toronto on Aug. 7 for the opening of what will be the largest ever Parapan Am Games. The five-day torch relay will cover more than 700 kilometres and 250 people will carry one of the two flames. “Each of the 250 torchbearers will have a special story to tell,” said Americas Paralympic Committee presi-

Cliff Maness, a councillor with the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation, carried the flame onto Parliament Hill in a small lantern. He said local elders added offerings before the flame was lit. “The spirits of our forefathers will go with the flame,” Maness said.

leg of the relay on foot even though her athletic success has come while rowing or using a wheelchair to race. She was beaming as she reached the Centennial Flame on Par-

liament Hill. “It’s a really special moment,” Lariviere said. “What (the flame) means is bringing people together despite their differences.” Ottawa judo athlete Priscilla Gagne – who has limited vision – took the arm of a pace runner during her leg of the relay. “I used to do wrestling, but wrestling isn’t in the Games,” Gagne said. “I tried goalball but that’s not combat. I missed fighting.” Gagne will take on American, Brazilian and Argentinian opponents on Aug. 12 at the Parapan Am Games site in Whitby, Ont.

More than 1,600 paraathletes from 28 countries will compete in 15 sports, all of which will be Paralympic qualifiers for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Quite a bit of ceremony involved in the day of thrashing

R

egardless what it said in the dictionary, everyone at Northcote called it “thrashing.” Threshing was a foreign word to the farmers who gathered at the homesteads this time of year to separate the grain from the chaff. To us five kids, the day was almost as good as going off to the Renfrew Fair. We didn’t go to school that day. Every hand was needed on the farm. Chores would have to be done before the sun was up on thrashing day, and certainly breakfast over with and the kitchen made ready for 15 or 20 men Mother would be feeding at dinner. Neighbours came when their own chores were out of the way, and they would gather in the barn yard, leaning on their wagons, smoking their pipes and passing the time until Mr. Briscoe with his team of horses pulling the big thrashing machine came through the gate. And then it was time. Teams of horses would bring in the sheaves from the fields, feed them into the big machine, once

MARY COOK Memories bright red but now faded from the elements. The noise was deafening as the thrasher chugged away under the blistering hot sun. My three brothers worked right alongside the men, and when I wasn’t pressed into service in the kitchen, I pulled a chair up to the window, looking out into the barn yard, watching all our neighbours working as one. My sister Audrey had the job of keeping the granite pail of water filled to the brim, with shards of ice from the ice house floating on top. One tin cup would serve all who wanted to stop for a cold drink of water. In the house, the kitchen would be beastly hot. All night the big haunch of beef would be cooking in the oven. The day before thrashing, Aunty

who came each year to help, would have turned out eight to 10 pies, and they would be on the bake table, already cut in four. All morning the kitchen buzzed with dinner preparations. The old pine table wouldn’t hold all the men, so three planks stretched across chair backs. The planks were covered with a thick quilt, and then sparkling white flour bag sheets, all to take care of the overflow. Every last plate, cup and saucer, and every piece of cutlery was spread out on the two tables, and it was my job to go outside and into the dark hole under the house which served as a cellar and was the bane of my existence, and bring up at least four different kinds of pickles from the swinging shelves. There was little formality back then. The full jars were put two to a table, with a big serving spoon at each. By the time the CPR clock struck noon, the thrashing machine was closing down. Mother had put two wash basins at the back door, with a new bar of Ivory soap. Each man splashed water on his face,

Each man splashed water on his face, gave it a rub with the huck towel, and handed it off to the next in line. They were far from clean when they piled into the kitchen, found a place to sit, and awaited the heaping platters and bowls of food. platters and bowls of food. There were creamed potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage salad, jugs of gravy, and of course, platters of hot beef and cold sliced roasted

pork. Two plates of fresh bread and butter sat at either end of the two tables, with Mother and Audrey at the ready to refill the bowls. No one bothered with clean plates when it came time to dole out the pie. The dinner plates looked like they had been washed in soap and water, wiped clean with thick slices of bread. There was no loitering after the meal. Mr. Briscoe was the first to push his chair back from the table, and I could hear the thrashing machine roar into action, and the work began again. My three brothers and Father had barely enough energy to do the chores afterwards. But the bags upon bags of grain stacked inside the barn, would once again show what it meant to live in a tight community where farmers depended on each other.

GranFondo rolls through town Nadia Amimi, right, of Kanata, and Krista Simon, from Nepean, power up the hill to the intersection of Thomas A. Dolan Parkway and Carp Road to a rest stop before the final 18-km push to the GranFondo Ottawa finish line on July 25. The routes – which ranged from 65-km to 235-km – ran through north Kanata and West Carleton, then up to Arnprior, and the furthest to Renfrew County and back.

CARD OF THANKS

CLR625330-0806

Florence Catherine Boyle (Owens) passed away peacefully on July 24, 2015 at the West End Villa, Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 91. She was the daughter of the late Florence Mary Owens (Halpin) and Frank C. Owens. Catherine was a resident of Saint John until 2008 when she moved to her daughter’s home in Pakenham, ON. Friendly, outgoing, generous and strong-willed, Catherine was a devout Catholic; a graduate of St. Vincent’s Girls’ High School and Modern Business College. Her first jobs were at the City of Saint John in the Taxation Dep’t. and secretary to the Chief of Police. Catherine was very well celebrated by the auditors at Revenue Canada when she retired after 13 years of service, and was fondly nicknamed ‘Boomer’. An avid bridge player, long serving church choir member and soloist, ardent supporter for the Liberal Party, and volunteer for many charities, especially those supporting children, Catherine always found time to help her coworkers, friends and neighbours. She kept very busy with cooking, baking, knitting, sewing, embroidery, needlepoint and social events. Her focus, however, was always on her 7 children and 11 grandchildren (Allan, Stephanie, Danielle, Jennifer, Shawn, Matthew, Michael, Christopher, Sara, Aaron and Max) whom she carefully nurtured and loved unconditionally. Catherine put her talents to work in all aspects of her life by: volunteering to coordinate the United Way campaign at the Income Tax; by being a member of the executive of Westvale Park housing association and by whipping up a birthday cake if she heard it was someone’s birthday. Swimming was a favourite pastime – in the ocean, in SJ Aquatic Centre, in the Kennebecasis and pools. She won medals at the Senior Olympics. Singing was important to Catherine her whole life, especially in church and at parties. She sang and danced in the Knights of Columbus operettas during the war. Catherine loved to travel using the airline passes from her son, David. She flew across Canada regularly to visit her family and she also traveled to Mexico and Japan. She enjoyed Caribbean cruises with her sister, Frances and winter days with her sister, Betty in Arizona and Florida. Catherine loved to socialize with her cherished friends at Chapel Grove in the summer and go on shopping trips to New York. She is survived by her children Shawn Hayes, Pakenham, ON; David (Alison) Sonora, Mexico; Tom, Victoria, BC; Cathy MacLaren (Sean) Calgary, AB; Paul (Lynne), Quispamsis, NB; and Greg, Victoria, BC; sister, Elizabeth Owens, Fredericton, NB and brother, James F. Owens, Saint John, NB,11 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Catherine was predeceased by her son, Patrick; sisters Frances Flood, Kennebecasis Park and Patricia Coughlan, Edmonton; brothers William, Edward and George; sisters-in-law Margaret Owens, Jacqueline Owens, Joan Owens and Jean Owens; brothers-in-law George F.
