Award to longtime coach john.curry@metroland.com

News - The trophy case at the Richmond arena is going to be home for a while to a prestigious award received by longtime Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association coach and volunteer Bob Easy. Housed in this trophy case will be the Bill Kitchen Community Builder Award which Mr. Easy received from the Ottawa 67’s at a ceremony at an Ottawa 67’s game at Canadian Tire Place last February. This award, named in honour and memory of the late Bill Kitchen who played for the Ottawa 67’s from 1977 through 1980 and then went on to be a successful Ottawa businessman and community leader, was presented to Mr. Easy at an on-ice ceremony that completely surprised him. He was there because he believed that his grandson was receiving an award. He was there at centre ice with his grandson, expecting the award to be given, when the focus turned to talk about Bill Kitchen, not only as

a hockey player, but also as one who helped youngsters in need, who established a restaurant and soup kitchen to raise funds for underprivileged kids and who collected hockey equipment to send to northern communities. Mr. Easy began to wonder what all of this had to do with his grandson receiving an award when suddenly he became the centre of attention and announced as the recipient of the Bill Kitchen Community Builder Award. “I just couldn’t believe it,” Mr. Easy says. “It was fantastic.” There were a couple of Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association teams in the crowd at that game and even they knew that Mr. Easy would be receiving an award. Mr. Easy, it seems, was the only one who did not know about the award. “Everybody but me,” is how he puts it. Indeed, Mr. Easy is cut from the same cloth as the late Mr. Kitchen. A 40 year coach and volunteer in local minor hockey, he has worked over the years to make the community a better place in which to live and play. He has helped raise money for youngsters whose families could not afford to send them to goalie school. He has helped raise funds to enable youngsters to be involved in minor hockey. And he has coached – boy, has he coached! Now entering his 40th year as a minor hockey coach, he has coached Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association teams, Stittsville Minor Hockey Association teams, Goulbourn RAMS teams and even the local Junior B team for a season. This season he will be coaching the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association midget B team but next JOHN CURRY/METROLAND year he is looking to become involved with the novice Longtime Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association coach and team on which his grandson will be playing.

It may be as a coach or perhaps just as a volunteer, perhaps making arrangements for tournament travel. The Bill Kitchen Community Builder Award is to be presented annually by the Ottawa 67’s to an individual who devotes time and effort to strengthen local minor hockey and the community.

Blood donor clinic coming up in Stittsville 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 (1-888-236-6283). 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

A garage sale will be held in the parking lot at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Plan to drop by and find some treasures. R0502275076

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, notfor-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, Hema-Quebec, 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.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Impromptu memorials are valid

P

reventable deaths are painful for those left behind. It’s understandable that those who have lost a loved one would want to help others avoid a similar outcome, hence the increasing number of ghost bikes in the city. A ghost bike is an old bike turned memorial. They stand near the site of the fatal accident. To some they are a critical reminder and tribute, while others see only chaos, ugliness or a reminder of death. Those who have recently complained about a ghost bike at Bank Street and Riverside Drive may prompt the city to enact a process that runs counter to the spirit of the ghost bikes. The city would do well to avoid feeling pressured to act. Ghost bikes are a spontaneous response to a spontaneous event. If they grab the attention of passers-by then that’s a good thing. What better place to remind drivers of the possible consequence of bad driving than the place where a death occurred? Reality shouldn’t be hidden away. It

should be as in-your-face as the death was for the unfortunate rider. A potential bonus is that drivers may even slow down when they are reminded of the risks their cars pose to those on bikes or on foot. Cyclists in turn may be reminded to ride defensively. It’s a good time to discuss the issue because it’s been a year since a ghost bike was erected at the corner or Bank and Riverside, after a rider was killed in a collision with a cement truck. That site has been decorated for special occasions – such as St. Patrick’s Day – and has also been kept neat and clean by volunteers. There have been flags for Canada Day and flower planters brighten the spot. It would be fair to say it’s one of the cleanest street corners in the city thanks to their efforts. While these memorials should never impede public walkways, those who complain the bikes should be removed because they remind others of death, or are an eyesore, are missing the point.

Camping’s a breeze – until you go it alone

A

lot of people I know are intimidated by the idea of tent camping with their kids. I probably would be, too, except that I’m married to a Boy Scout. Actually, he was never part of the organization, but anyone who knows my spouse understands he can as easily whittle oversized camp cooking utensils from branches (he did this 13 years ago on our first camping trip together when we forgot the utensil bag), as he can fix a bride’s manicure using only the contents of his wallet. (The latter occurred at the nuptials of my brother and sister-inlaw and earned him the nickname MacGyver). My children know mom is useless when it comes to manual skills, while

If their bike chains fall off, they would rather call dad at work to ask him how to fix it themselves than approach mom about it. People talk about preparing for an emergency – the 72-hour kit and so on. I’ve got water, beans and flashlights, but really, my only hope of surviving any kind of major disaster is to be in the presence of my spouse.

How else will I figure out a way to open the beans without the electric can opener? Camping with the Mister, as you can imagine, is a dream. The man can string a tarp like nobody’s business. He can sew a leaky tent and start a fire with a single match. He even knows how to make a forest latrine – a pee pit, if you will – pretty useful, depending on the distance from tent to flush toilets. When we camp as a family, my spouse often prefers me to take the kids to the beach and just “leave him to it� to get the site organized. No problem. But every once in a while, I start to feel a little jealous of my spouse’s practical skill set and all the admiration that goes along with it.

then I decide to do something really brave – or crazily overconfident – to demonstrate my can-do attitude and ability. This year, I booked seven nights of tent camping with my three children (including a potty-training twoyear-old), and I’m going in August, while my husband is stuck at work. Yup, I’m going it alone. My boys are old enough to understand that this may not be the greatest plan in the world. Still, they’ve been enthusiastic supporters. (They’re dreaming of eight glorious days of freedom in the woods and at the beach). When I first informed them of the trip, they promised they would help me out with all the things I’m “not very good at.� As they listed off some of the things they intend to do – put up the tents, inflate the air mattresses, climb a tree to string a clothesline and start the campfire – I realized I had grossly overestimated their confidence in me.

Still, I’m sure it will all be just fine, right? While I may turn out to be a camping disaster, I’m counting on the fact that my kids – who actually are in Boy Scouts and have Mister for a dad – will keep things ticking along smoothly.

Concerns about pipeline voiced at meeting John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Mike Fletcher of Munster, a volunteer with Ecology Ottawa, an Ottawa-area environmental group, has been going door-to-door in Stittsville in recent weeks, trying to increase awareness of the proposed Energy East oil pipeline that would pass by just to the west of Stittsville. He laid out his own concerns about the proposed project at a public information session held by Ecology Ottawa in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Tuesday evening, July 29. These concerns include environmental destruction from oil extraction of the tar sands; climate change from oil sands activity; and the danger and possibility of a pipeline spill. Mr. Fletcher noted that whatever extraction method is used (using holding ponds for tailings or injecting steam into the ground), problems ensue. He said that there are currently many square kilometers of tailings ponds in Alberta’s tar sands area. He cited the example of a tar pond at Sydney, N.S. which is costing $700 million to clean up, wondering what will be the clean-up cost associated with these much more extensive tailings ponds in Alberta. He said that such costs are never factored into any economic analysis of tar sands oil development but his prediction of the future regarding these tailings ponds was succinct: “It will be a Godawful mess.� He also acknowledged problems with injecting steam into the ground, the other method of extracting oil in the tar sands.

He said that Canadians should stand up and say that these methods are not right. And yet, this proposed Energy East pipeline will accelerate the growth of the tar sands and only make matters worse, he said. Mr. Fletcher also the increased greenhouse gases caused by oil sands development represent a big step backwards in fighting climate change. He also expressed a concern about the possibility of a failure of the pipeline, resulting in a pill of oil bitumen into the surrounding environment. He said that the track record for older, re-purposed pipelines which would be the case in this Energy East pipeline near Stittsville is not good, citing a record of several major spills including one at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Mr. Fletcher also noted that train traffic will not be decreased by this proposed Energy East pipeline running from Alberta to the Maritimes because the dilutant with which the oil bitumen is mixed to make it transportable by pipeline has to be transported from the Martimes back to Alberta by rail. He also said that the proposed Energy East pipeline, which will be able to handle up to 1.1 million barrels of oil bitumen a day, is not being built to support Canadian oil consumption but is being built to export oil. He said that the Council of Canadians estimates that only ten percent will be used for domestic consumption because the oil refineries in the Maritimes are not set up to handle oil sands bitumen. “It’s almost exclusively an export pipeline,� he said.

Ecology Ottawa petition about pipeline Continued from page 10

Many of Mr. Fletcher’s concerns were supported and re-emphasized at the meeting by Ben Powless, a community organizer with Ecology Ottawa who is among those leading the campaign against the Energy East pipeline. He pointed out that this pipeline project will be creating only about 50 long term jobs based in Calgary once construction is completed. He advocated that the money proposed for this $12 billion pipeline project would be better spent supporting communities or investing in renewable energy projects. He said that the position of Ecology Ottawa is that pipeline spills will never go away and that even if Trans Canada Pipelines, the proponent of the Energy East pipeline, could guarantee that there would never be a spill, the pipeline should still be

opposed because it will allow the oil sands to expand and cause climate change problems for future generations, threatening the future liveability of the planet. Mr. Powless said that Ecology Ottawa wants the city of Ottawa to undertake a risk assessment of the project that passes through the city and to determine if the city has the capacity to clean up a pipeline spill. He acknowledged that this proposed pipeline project is under the jurisdiction of the federal government but he thinks that the city should become involved in the process, citing a fundamental obligation by the municipal government to represent the interests of its residents in this project. He said that Ecology Ottawa has launched a campaign to get the word out about the pipeline proposal. Ecology Ottawa has a team of 50 volunteers who are distributing information flyers and lawn signs in communities

such as Stittsville. Ecology Ottawa is trying to get information about this proposed oil pipeline out to candidates in the upcoming municipal election in Ottawa in October. In addition, Ecology Ottawa wants to see the provincial government get involved in the issue, citing the way that the provincial government in British Columbia is opposing the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, bringing forth numerous conditions before it will agree to the project. Ecology Ottawa already has about 5,000 names on a petition opposing this Energy East pipeline project and its goal is to have 10,000 names on the petition before presenting it at Ottawa city hall, indicating that this is an issue of concern to many in the city. Another speaker at the public information session was Ayah Stretch, a Stittsville resident who has attended previous information sessions by Ecology Ottawa and the Council of Canadians, Trans Canada Pipelines and the Ontario Energy Board. Indeed, she made a presentation about concerns regarding this pipeline on behalf of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) at an information meeting held by the Ontario Energy Board in Stittsville last spring. Ms. Stretch is on the board of directors of the SVA. She admitted that she has been left confused by the varying responses which she has heard to her concerns from various parties and is still left with concerns about the project given the history of pipelines and spills. She wants to see area residents become informed about the project so that they can make a reasonable decision about it. She said at the meeting that personally she does not want the pipeline to become reality but said that if it does, she wants all of the guarantees possible in place regarding its operation. It is expected that Trans Canada Pipelines will be officially applying to the National Energy Board for approval for this Energy East pipeline project this month. This will begin what is expected to be a 15 month process leading to a decision on the project. The federal government then has a period of time in which it can accept or reject the National Energy Board decision on the matter. Mr. Powless said that already 10,000 letters of concern about the project has been submitted to the National Energy Board. More information about this proposed Energy East oil pipeline which will be going just west of Stittsville can be found on the Ecology Ottawa website, including information about its Tar Free 613 campaign and its petition opposing the pipeline.

First-ever Friday karaoke evening at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Friday music evening became the Friday karaoke evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. This was the first time that the Gaia Java shop had tried a karaoke event and while the turnout was modest and lots of persuasion circulated to entice performances, in the end it turned out to be an evening of enjoyable, albeit sometimes intermittent, music.

Owner Paul Jay had set up two microphones and speakers and a computer was used to display the words “karaoke style” on a temporary screen hanging inside the shop’s front window and to provide the instrumental background music. A highlight of the evening was Soren Wainio-Theberge’s performance of “Mr. Cellophane” from the musical “Chicago” which was originally staged on Broadway in 1975 and was revived there in 1996. The 2002 film version of the musical was an Academy Award winning production.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Soren Wainio-Theberge enthusiastically sings “Mr. Cellophane” from the musical Chicago at the karaoke evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday.

Soren’s presentation of the song “Mr. Cellophane” was accompanied by appropriate hand and arm gestures – it was a super performance. Soren had taken to the karaoke spotlight after Keli Jay, the owner’s singer/daughter who had performed at the shop’s Friday music evening just the week before, launched the karaoke evening by singing a duet of the song “For Good” with her mother, Susan Mayo. This song is from the 2003 Broadway musical “Wicked” which is the untold story of the witches of Oz. In the Broadway musical, “For Good” is sung as a suet involving Elphaba, the wicket witch of the west, and Glinda, the good witch of the north. And, of course, no karaoke event would be complete without a Beatles tune and Patrick Smith, who has performed at Gaia Java musical evenings as a saxophonist, showed his vocal talents as he sung “All My Loving” from the Beatles 1963 album “With The Beatles.” Indeed, this may be the best known of all of the Beatles songs as it was the group’s opening song on their memorable debut performance on the Ed Sullivan Show on TV in 1964. Prolific and popular songwriter and singer Elton John was not forgotten at this Gaia Java karaoke night, as Keli Jay and Patrick Smith combined on the iconic “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” the 1976 duet hit by Elton John and English singer Kiki Dee. Other songs heard during this karaoke evening at the Gaia Java shop included “Fancy,” the most successful song to date for Australian recording artist Iggy Azalea and a couple of songs associated with the American rock band The Killers – “When You Were Young,” a 2006 song, and “All These Things That I’ve Done,” a 2004 song whose ongoing refrain “I got soul but I’m not a soldier” has become identified with the band. Adding to the eclectic mix of music at this inaugural Gaia Java karaoke

evening was the Monty Python song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” from the 1979 film “Monty Python’s Life of Brian.” This song has become a common singalong tune at public gatherings. Songs from “Frozen,” the 2013 3D computer animated musical fantasy comedy film by Walt Disney Pictu5res inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Snow Queen” and from “The Little Mermaid,” a 1989 animated film by Walt Disney Pictures also based on a Hans Christian Andersen tale, wound up this first-ever karaoke evening at the Gaia Java shop. This coming Friday, Aug. 8, the Friday music evenings return to the Gaia Java shop with a 7 p.m. performance by James Blondeau, a singer, guitarist and songwriter. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java shop are free to attend. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating. The Gaia Java Coffee Company Shop is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Customers, dogs enjoy Bea’s party John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The first Saturday of August has come and gone and so has the annual party for the customers and dogs of Benji’s Place dog grooming studio in Stittsville. Ever since 2001, Benji’s Place owner Bea McDaniels hosts this annual get-together for both customers and their dogs in the backyard of her Stittsville home, just like she did last Saturday afternoon on a warm summer’s day. This year three tents were set up with one of them for the full buffet which everyone gets to enjoy. The food all comes from Stittsville Sobeys, with Bea working closely with Christine at

Convenient

Sobeys to ensure a memorable meal. For Bea, this is very much her way of showing her appreciation to her customers for their ongoing support and patronage of Benji’s Place. She appreciates all that her customers have done for her and shows her thanks by hosting this party. Bea McDaniels herself is a real 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 emigrated 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 immediately south of what is now the Stittsville Signs and

Home on Lloydalex Crescent gutted by fire Special to the News

Help them Today. Change their Tomorrow! At only ten years old, Elissa has already faced a number of challenges in her life. She is being raised by a single mother who has to work two jobs in order to support her three children. Because her mother could not afford to send her children to daycare or summer camps, Elissa became the caregiver of her two younger siblings. When school was out for the summer, she spent her days at home tending to her brother and sister. As soon as a neighbour noticed that three children between the ages of five and ten were home alone until late at night, he called the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. Elissa’s mother was not abusive, she simply did not have the resources or funds to ensure her children were properly supervised throughout the day. The Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa supported the family financially; the younger children were able to attend day camp, while Elissa had the opportunity to join a dance camp. As a result, Elissa has since flourished into a dynamic young lady full of energy and dreams for the future. With the help and support of the Foundation, all three children developed new skills, were able to interact with people their own age and made lasting friendships all while being kept safe and secure. How can you help make children’s dreams come true and help out a family in need? You can support our efforts by donating to the Children’s Aid Foundation! Every contribution makes a difference in the life of a child. For more information, please visit us at: http://www.cafott.ca/

calls for fire response. Ottawa Fire Services firefighters rushed to the scene about 10:40 a.m. and had the fire under control within half an hour. The bungalow, located on the west side of Lloydalex

Crescent near its north end, was rented out but the tenant was not home when the fire broke out. Lloydalex Crescent, wich is just east of Carp Road north of Hazeldean Road, runs pararell to Carp Road.

Rob Knights, vice-president of operations and business development for Thunderbird Sports Management Inc., which manages the Thunderbird Sports Centre and golf course on Richardson Sideroad, kicks a soccer ball toward 53 centimeter diameter cup as he demonstrates FootGolf which Thunderbird has introduced at its golf course, becoming one of only four courses in Ontario to offer the sport.

Sports - Soccer is referred to as the “beautiful game.” Indeed, famous soccer player Pele entitled his autobiography “My Life and the Beautiful Game.” But to many golf is also a beautiful game with its skill, its etiquette and its green setting, although it has never been referred to in such a specific way as beautiful. But now the two sports – soccer and golf – are being combined as FootGolf at the Thunderbird Sports Centre’s nine hole golf course on Richardson Sideroad. Indeed, FootGolf is popular in Europe and is now migrating to North America. There is now even a Canadian FootGolf Association of which Thunderbird is one of four member courses in Ontario and the only one in the Ottawa area. Thunderbird has decided to provide FootGolf on an ongoing basis on Tuesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and all day on Wednesdays where FootGolf will be offered alongside Thunderbird’s other golfing innovation this year, Wide Cup Wednesdays which feature eight inch wide cups. The cost for FootGolf is $10 for nine holes. FootGolf is played with golf-like rules but using a soccer ball and kicking it. Players start from the tee area and kick the ball, trying to get the ball into a 53 centimeter diameter wide cup that has been imbedded in the ground in the vicinity of the green. This cup is covered over when regular golfing takes over the course. The aim is to get the soccer ball from the tee area into the hole in the least number of kicks. Thunderbird launched its FootGolf at a special event last June when over 200 minor soccer players from the West Ottawa Soccer Club got to try out FootGolf at Thunderbird. FootGolf is challenging for soccer

Lifestyle - The whole house had been wakened at dawn. Breakfast was not the usual, takeyour-time meal it generally was. There was work to be done -- chores to get out of the way, once they had been milked, the cattle moved out of the barnyard and into the field near the creek. Every hand was needed, because today was threshing time, or as we called it back then: thrashing day. I could see the thrashing machine coming in our long lane, and already farm neighbours from all along the Northcote Road were milling about the barnyard. The barnyard was full of stoked grain, and neighbours’ wagons would be making trips back to the fields to bring in more to be fed into the thrashing machine. It was already roaring like a train engine, and I could see grain-dust flying through the air. Father said at breakfast that the weather had co-operated. There would be no rain that day. The sun was already beating down on the men, and soon my sister Audrey would take out a pail of fresh well water, with shards of chipped ice from the icehouse. The men would all drink

Neighbour helping neighbour

from the same tin cup. There didn’t seem to be much talking -- there was too much to be done. There were Briscoes and Kallieses, and Thoms, and Beams. I could recognize their faces under their wide-brimmed straw hats. All neighbours, who one day would have the favour returned when their grain would be thrashed by the same farmers who were right there in our barn yard. When the break came for their dinner, they wandered over to the kitchen door. Two long benches had been put outside and basins of water with bars of homemade soap were beside them. Huck towels were folded and would soon be as black as a boot. The men dropped their straw hats on the ground, splashed their faces, rubbed on the soap, didn’t bother to rinse anything off, and swiped at the dripping water with the towels. They headed into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table, which spilled over onto two planks that had been put on top of two sawhorses and covered with white flour bag sheets. It would serve as a second table. The kitchen was cooler than the summer kitchen, which held the Findlay Oval, but it

soon warmed up with all the bodies inside. Some took red dotted handkerchiefs out of their overalls and wiped their sweating faces. It took Mother, Aunty and my sister Audrey all their time to keep the bowls of potatoes, beans, and turnips refilled. The big platters of roast pork vanished as if someone had cleaned them off with a dishcloth! Pies had already been cut, and were stacked on the bake table. There was no such thing as a clean plate for their pie, it was simply chucked off the pie plate and right onto the plate that had just held their dinner. Almost everyone had a second piece, and even the last slice of bread had vanished. The whole meal was over in jig time, and then they went back to the job at hand. Father said they would stay until all the grain had been thrashed, so that the thrashing machine would not have to make a second trip to our farm. And late in the afternoon, I heard the last of the big machine wind down. One by one the neighbours left, driving their wagons, or buggies, and the more prosperous of the lot, riding off in cars. Emerson, Everett and Earl were sent to the backfield to bring in the cows for the nightly milking, and gradually, our farm turned back to normal. Thrashing for that year was over. Once again, it was neighbour helping neighbour.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it. by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

and will beneďŹ t many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulďŹ llment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax beneďŹ ts which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insigniďŹ cant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal Marla Dowdall mdowdall@perfprint.ca

News – Lauryn McBeth, 10 years old from Saskatchewan, was enjoying watching a movie with her mom Cheri, Sunday, June 1. McBeth’s bright eyes and shy smile don’t give away the fact she is sitting in halo traction. The goal, to realign her spine ahead of a Tuesday surgery, to fuse her C1 and C2 vertebrae. Lauryn and Cheri had already been at the Shriners Hospital for Children-Canada in Montreal for a week and a half at that point and mom said the treatment they were receiving had been “Excellent,” even better than she expected. The Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal is the second busiest hospital of the 22 Shriners’ hospitals, with close to 17,000 outpatient visits to the ambulatory care clinic in a year. In the new hospital – currently under construction with a goal of opening in fall of 2015 – it is expected that number will jump to 25,000 visits. There is no room for expansion at the current site, which will be sold once the new facility is up and running. While the current site was quiet on Sunday, June 1, when a tour was conducted, Emmanu-

elle Rondeau, communications and marketing manager for Shriners Hospital for Children explained, “This place is extremely busy during the week.” All surgery is performed during the week, which gives parents and staff, for the most part, the weekends off. The lobby in the current facility is bright and open, as is the ambulatory care area. The physiotherapy room brought back memories for Karnak Shriner Mervyn Wood. His granddaughter, now eight-years-old, was born with her head resting on her shoulder, it was also, “Round like a football.” When she was only five months old she was brought to the Shriners Hospital. Now, her head is “Perfectly straight,” and “It happened right in this room,” Wood said as he looked around at the equipment. There is also a therapy pool, with warm water to help with certain exercises. Miss Canada International 2014 Alyssa MacLeod is also a past patient of the facility, Rondeau pointed out. Born with Cerebral Palsy, she underwent surgery and therapy and is not only a former patient, but also an Ambassador for the hospital. With CP, Rondeau explained, there can be conflicting signals from the brain which affect

movement. After surgery, she noted, some patients have to be taught how to walk again. “It is a big trust factor, to learn you can stand,” she nodded. After six weeks of intense physio, she said, a patient for the most part can walk out with a walker, or cane then continually improve as time goes on. Conditions treated in Montreal include Spina Bifida, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), with procedures undertaken such as botox injections (this is used in part as a pain management tool), prosthetics and orthotics, rhizotomy, Ilizarov and more. However the Montreal facility does not treat burns or spinal injury as some of the other hospitals in the network host those specialties. “We deal with complex and chronic bone diseases. Everything to do with bones or skeleton,” Rondeau said. In the Montreal facility they have identified three of 14 types of OI, as well as treatments, but no cure yet. For prosthetics, patients can also be provided with special prosthetics for swimming and horseback riding, so kids can be kids. For conditions such as clubfoot, the Ponseti Method treatment is provided in Montreal. Following serial casting for six weeks to avoid surgery, then bracing in special shoes, and shoes with bar and finally a minor surgery are undertaken. For the families they don’t need to worry about some of the basics - such as transportation costs. These are covered for families coming to Montreal. And they do, from locations across the country and the world. Shriners will pick up children and their families at the airport, or train station, and bring them to the hospital. Taxi fare is also covered, as well as meals. Always it is the families who make the decisions for care. Where an amputation may be an option, for example, the parents must envision whether they want to go through multiple surgeries or opt for the amputation. Oftentimes parents will decide to go through multiple surgeries and then allow the child to make a decision on whether they want an amputation once

they reach the young adult stage. Other times parents opt for amputation to avoid the trauma of multiple surgical procedures. Mother Melanie, of Quebec, chose not to move forward with an amputation for her daughter Maya who was born with no fibula, a leg bone, on one side. Instead she chose to undergo multiple procedures. The mother and daughter are now supporting the Exceptional Care Odyssey, a tour across the country to raise funds for the new Shriners Hospital in Montreal. Please see below for complete details. From a choice in colour for casts, to decorations on the ceilings - colourful scenes for a child to gaze at while exams are being undertaken, the children and their care are clearly put first and foremost. For clinics, the hospital has the “Whole team,” in place, making it easier for children with multiple conditions, and their families to have the complete scope of care in one location at one time, to have an open discussion on what the future holds. Even down to planning surgery, so it is delayed in order that a child may go to prom or to take their finals, noted Leo Dryden of the Karnak Shriners, tour guide. A special x-ray machine is also on premises, a standing 3D imaging system. This system reduces exposure to radiation, and is also an extremely quick way to obtain the needed images. The machine itself is quite quiet, as compared to an MRI machine, noted Rondeau. Treatments, care as well as life changing research happens under the auspices of the Montreal facility. The Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System, for treatment of OI and other bone issues, was founded with collaboration from the hospital’s Dr. Francois Fassier. In fact the doctor now travels around the world and trains surgeons in 60 countries where children are getting this technology, Rondeau explained. Office spaces are small for doctors and staff, as mentioned before, there is no room to expand. See SHRINERS, page 27 R0012764430

Shriners Hospital in Montreal is second busiest of 22 Continued from page 25

For patients as young as one month old, all the way to 21 years of age, there is a tub and shampoo room, spaces for parents which include a bed and dresser, there is a laundry facility, a television is included in each room and a phone for parents to use, “We cover everything,” noted Dryden. “Everything is free,” he emphasized. The facility also has a music room, family room and internet is free. There is one nurse for every three children. Each child brought from another hospital facility is monitored for 24 hours as, “There is no sickness here,” Dryden noted. Le Parc, a playroom, is bright, featuring everything a child might delight in. Even dolls whom have halos, braces. “They look like toys, but they are more than toys for the children,” Dryden commented. The dolls are not just to play with, but also for children to relate to. A special presentation by Rondeau highlighted some astounding numbers - 16,922 clinical consultations were conducted in 2013 “representing a 35 per cent increase over the last five years.” There were 4,513 new referrals in 2013, “An increase of more than 10 per cent over the previous year.” In 2013 959 surgeries were performed, 250 outreach clinic appointments took place, there were 13 telemedicine consultations and more. The presentation notes explained, “In planning the new hospital we are ensuring that it

will be a true Shriners Hospital and will correspond to our vision, positioning and the needs of our future patients.” The new facility will be more than 207,000 square feet with 22 single patient rooms, four operating rooms, 29,000 square feet of research space, 18,000 square feet of Ambulatory Care, 13,000 for rehabilitation services. “We are planning on an increase in surgeries,” Rondeau noted. The new facility will allow for greater efficiencies, as surgeons will be able to go from one room to the next, not having to wait for the rooms to be prepped in between time. The increase space for outpatient areas as well as research will greatly aid in operations, as these two areas have been “Growing tremendously,” she said. Part of the Exceptional Care for Exceptional Kids fundraising campaign for the new facility is to raise, “An endowment fund of $3 million is required for the creation of the Francis Glorieux Chair in Pediatric Musculoskeletal Research.” New services the hospital will be able to offer, once construction is complete are a clinical investigations unit, an education centre as well as a surgical skills laboratory and movement analysis laboratory. Their current space has just over 89,000 square feet of space which is taken up by two operating rooms, 14,475 square feet of research space, 5,851 square feet of Ambulatory Care space and 3,474 square feet for rehabilitation services. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in

families, 17 Shrine Temples; eight parades, the Odyssey will journey into the United States. Aside from raising those all-important dollars other key components of the mission, as mentioned are to raise awareness of “The hospital’s mission to provide specialized orthopaedic care to children,” as well as to showcase the Shriners fraternity, explained Gemma Bélanger, information officer, public relations for Shriners Hospitals for Children, to those gathered at City Hall in Brockville. The Odyssey left from Brockville for Belleville that day, and will be heading through locations such as London, Winnipeg, Regina and on to British Columbia where it will finish its journey in Victoria. Along the way stickers are being sold to raise funds – turning the red exterior of the vehicle into a rash of white circular well wishes. Most notes say “Good Luck,”, while others are in support and encouragement of the hospital’s works. There are 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children, “providing expert, specialized care to children under the age of 18 with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate. All services are provided at no charge.” The current Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal, was built in 1925. For further details about the Odyssey tour and the Exceptional Care for Exceptional Kids Campaign please visit exceptionalcare4kids.com.

October 2011 at the new site, with construction beginning in April 2013. The new location is adjacent to the Montreal Children’s Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre, an adult hospital is also beside the new space, Cancer Centre and Research Institute. The location is right near a Metro train and bus terminal, bicycle paths are nearby. “The idea was to be in an area that is completely accessible,” Rondeau said. The new hospital will have eight floors, six above ground and two underground each space will have a special theme, and child friendly ambiance. The design of the hospital reflects the realities faced across Canada, she said. Themes will include the St. Lawrence Valley, Prairies, the Great North, Atlantic Coast, a rink theme and more. The plan is to open the new facility in late August 2015.

The new location comes with a price tag of $130 million. To raise those dollars the Exceptional Care for Exceptional Kids campaign was launched. The Exceptional Care Odyssey began in St. John’s, Newfoundland, May 13. To take 66 days, stopping in 55 locations, 17,000 kilometres will be traversed. The tour stopped in Brockville at City Hall, June 10. Already more than half of the goal has been raised. According to information from the Shriners, the Odyssey involves not just hundreds of Shriners, but also 40 patients and their

What to do about main library? Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city of Ottawa’s main library branch needs major renovations and even an expansion to keep up with modern requirements but it will mean finding more than $40 million the Ottawa Public Library doesn’t have. The library, having moved on from its plan to build an entirely new structure near the technical high school in Centretown in 2010, is now assessing options to fix up the ailing 40-year-old building and upgrade the space at Metcalfe and Laurier at the same time. There are three options: keep the same building structure but renew the spaces and infrastructure for $40 million; renovate the library and expand it towards the sidewalk for $50 million; or the big-ticket option, which would meet all the library’s space needs

by expanding into the sidewalk and adding a new storey on top of the fourth floor at a total redevelopment cost of $70 million. This doesn’t mean a shiny new or upgraded Main library will be built any time soon, said Elaine Condos, facilities and business services manager for the Ottawa Public Library. “There is no funding available to implement any of the options,” she said. Any money the library had set aside for the now-dead Main library move has been doled out to renovate other branches. The library board already signed off on a 2012 report saying the main branch needs at least $6.3 million in repairs just to fix up the crumbling 1974 structure, which has never had a major renovation. But after assessing the future needs of users at the branch and the technical requirements to bring the cement brutalist-style

behemoth up to 21st-century standards, Condos says much more work will need to be done. “You would almost have to strip the building down to its shell,” she said, referring to the two more expensive renovate or redevelop options. “It was really built as a repository for books,” she said. “That’s not what we are now.” Personal computers didn’t exist when the main library was built. Now, technology has cycled through to the point where an upgraded library wouldn’t need to have space for more computers – that ship has sailed as most people now bring their own devices to the library, Condo said. But the rigid cement building doesn’t have enough outlets for people to plug those devices in and getting a signal on a cell phone in the library is nearly impossible. Installing a modern electrical system and wi-fi are more complex tasks than they

appear to be when you’re dealing with a solid concrete block, Condos said. Creating more welcoming, open and flexible spaces with moveable furniture and even shelves is important in order to continue to meet library goers’ needs, Condos said. As is providing a “makerspace” – a centre where patrons can learn and use fabrication tools and have access to video equipment – similar to the one that opened at the Centrepointe library this year. Some form of makerspace will be an almost essential component for all library renovations in the future, Condos said, and the main branch would get one of at least 140 square metres in the renovate or redevelop options Condo is presenting. This year, the library spent $1 million doing more minor upgrades to improve safety and security at the main branch.

‘Rain’ is back! Special to the News

News - “Rain” is back. The all black two and a half year old black cat, who disappeared from her Abaca Way home after the July 24 there on Thursday, July 24, has returned to the home. She was found in the home by workers in the home on Tuesday, July 29. It is not known how long she was back home but the doors had been opened several times during the day due to the presence of the workers. A cat matching Rain’s description had been seen on a nearby deck on the morning of Tuesday, July 29. There had been a search mounted for “Rain.” A poster had been circulated through the immediate Timbermere neighbourhood and was provided to local pet stores and vets. Local lost pet networks and animal shelters had been contacted and information had been posted on the Stittsville Moms Facebook page. The Stittsville News had been contacted and included an article about the missing cat in its issue last week. “Rain” had not been seen since Ottawa Fire Services firefighters had entered the Abaca Way home on Thursday, July 24 to check out the premises and to control the wire which had broken out in the townhouse units. Rain, one of four cats in the home, had bolted from the home at that time and had not been seen until returning to the scene on Tuesday, July 29. “Rain” is an all black medium to long haired domestic female cat with a big fluffy tail. She is spayed, up-to-date on all her shots and is micro-chaipped.

Fairwinds BBQ on Westar Farms horse show Saturday, Sept. 6 Special to the News

Special to the News

News - The second annual “End-of-Summer Grill and Chill” BBQ in the Fairwinds community in Stittsville will take place on Saturday, Sept. 6. It will be held at Par-la-Ville Park in the Fairwinds community, running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The BBQ will be taking place courtesy of Kodiak Snowblowing. There will also be sno-cones courtesy of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Honeydrop Body and Face Art will be on site for face painting. Star Wars characters from the 501st Legion will be on the grounds as will a fire truck from Station 46 on Iber road in Stittsville. Singers from the U-Rock Music School will be performing and the results from the “Fairwinds in the Summer” photo contest will be announced. The Ottawa Police Service will be on hand with information about Neighbourhood Watch. Special sponsor for this BBQ event is the CIBC branch on Hazeldean Road.

News – Westar Farms will be hosting another horse show on Saturday, Sept. 6. This show will feature the Juniper Farms Jumper Derby with $2,000 in prize money and prizes. There will also be the $1,000 Hunter Derby in the Grand Prix ring. There is free admission to horse shows at Westar Farms. Those attending, though, are reminded to take along a lawn chair for seating. Refreshments are always available on site. Westar Farms, owned and operated by Jeff and Bridget McKessock, is a full service equestrian training and boarding facility serving the area. It has not only a 70 foot by 160 foot indoor arena with an upstairs heated viewing lounge but also outside riding rings, show rings and trails. Hunters show in one of three grass show rings while jumpers perform in the grass jumper ring. Last year Westar Farms marked its 25th anniversary year in operation. The first horse show hosted by Westar Farms took place in 1988 at what

was then Four Island Farms (now Castle Peak Farms) on Franktown Road west of Dwyer Hill Road. This was because Westar Farms was still under construction. In 1995, a second horse show was added to the Westar Farms schedule and in 2002, a third show was added. The show grounds themselves at Westar Farms have developed over the years as well. The shows happen around the farm’s long laneway, lined with maple trees planted the year after the farm opened for business. They were eight feet tall then but now many have reached more than 30 feet in height and provide welcome shade on hot show days. In 2009, the main jumper ring at Westar Farms was expanded and new permanent competition and training obstacles were added. In recent years, “feature” classes not offered at other shows as well as extra prize money have attracted competitors to Westar Farms and its shows. Westar Farms is located on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville. It is located on the south side of Fernbank Road between the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club and Dwyer Hill Road.

Erica Wiebe wins wrestling gold medal John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - In June, 2007 she received The Play It Again Sports Graduate Athlete of the Year Award at Stittsville’s Sacred Heart Catholic High School’s annual graduation ceremony. In July, 2014 she won the gold medal in the women’s 75 kilogram division in freestyle wrestling at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Yes, it has been quite a ride from that day when Erica Wiebe as a grade nine student at Sacred Heart was introduced to wrestling and today when she stands as the number one ranked wrestler in the world in the women’s 75 kilogram weight class. Now the Commonwealth Games champion, she has next year’s Pam-Am Games in Toronto and the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil on her competitive horizon. Her graduation ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic High School back in June 2007 saw Erica not only be honoured as the Graduate Athlete of the Year but she also received the SUBMITTRED Canadian Federation of University Women/ Erica Wiebe, who graduated from Sacred Heart Kanata Award. This award goes to a female Catholic High School in Stittsville in 2007, is now the graduate student who has shown a special number one ranked women’s freestyle wrestler in interest in human rights and politics. the 75 kg category. But this was not all – she was also one of 87 graduates who earned Ontario Scholar designation for having accumulated 480 marks in her top six grade 12 courses. Indeed, Erica, who has been living and studying (and wrestling) at the University of Calgary since graduating from Sacred Heart, has t-shirts available that proclaim “Bewiebe Wrestling.” Yes, with Erica, you just have to “bewiebe.” UÊ,iVi ÛiÊÞ ÕÀÊ Ü Ê Born on June 13, 1989, Erica grew up «>ÞÊV iµÕit in Stittsville dreaming of becoming a socUÊ7 Ê Ài>ÌÊ*À âià cer player. But then in grade nine at Sacred UÊ" ViÊ>ÊÜii Ê Heart, a sign went up promoting a co-ed `i ÛiÀÞ wrestling practice. Erica was attracted to the UÊ7ii i `ÃÊ"vv sport and the rest, as they say, is history. She went on to attend the University of TRACI Calgary, pursing a degree in kinesiology Stittsville CAMERON 613.221.6223 while also continuing her wrestling career

with the University of Calgary Dinos. This would lead to Erica being a three time Canadian Interuniversity Sport champion and a six time Canadian national champion. She is now a member of the Team Canada wrestling team. This year, besides her gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, Erica has won gold medals in international competitions in Germany, Sweden and the United States. The world championships in Uzbekistan are on her calendar for this September. At the Commonweath Games in Glasgow, Scotland on Tuesday, July 29, Erica claimed the gold medal in the women’s 75 kilogram event, winning all four of her matches in the competition including defeating a wrestler from India by pinfall to take the gold. “To win in a high pressure situation was big,” Erica is quoted by The Canadian Press as saying following her victory. She feels that winning in such competitive situations is what she needs to do in preparation for the Olympics in 2016. Erica believes in giving back to her sport community and that is why she has been involved with efforts to inspire young wrestlers and in particular young women wrestlers. She loves sharing her passion for the sport of wrestling with others. Annually she returns to Stittsville and takes part in wrestling clinics in the Ottawa area. She has been a guest coach at various wrestling camps in Canada and last February was the women’s coach of the Calgary Area Zone 3 youth wrestling team. Erica has spoken to students across Alberta about the positive impact of sport in life. At the University of Calgary, Erica has been a leader on campus as a community advisor in residence and captain of the varsity wrestling team. She has represented the University of Calgary at university national wrestling championships. At the University of Calgary, she has been vice-chair of the Student Athletic Advisory Council and she is on the board of directors for Wrestling Canada as the athlete

representative. Erica chose to attend the University of Calgary first and foremost because of her passion for wrestling and the fact that the national team is centered in Calgary, allowing her the opportunity to train with Canada’s top wrestlers. An added bonus was that the University of Calgary has one of the top kinesiology programs in Canada. She did not make the University of Calgary’s wrestling team for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) competition in her first year there but since then she has gone on to capture numerous CIS and national titles. In 2012, Erica did travel to the London Olympic Games as an alternate for the national team, serving as a training partner for a fellow wrestler in the 72 kilogram category. She was there in London with the team through the Olympics and gainrd experience about the Olympic atmosphere that will undoubtedly serve her well at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro where she hopes to represent Canada. Following her graduation in kinesiology, Erica is pursing courses in the Faculty of Social Work, aiming for a Masters in Public Health.

Jabulani has hosted its first wedding and has more booked. Jabulani is expecting a bumper crop this fall which will translate into a lot of wine which may create something of a challenge coming up with enough storage space since the new barn will not be insulated and heated in time for storage use for this year’s crop. One thing that should reduce inventory at Jabulani is the fact that the winery has now dropped the price

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Members of the band “Sidewinder” who are performing on stage at the free concert at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Thursday evening, July 31, sponsored by Waste Management in partnership with the city of Ottawa, are, from left, Barry Racoskie, lead singer Glen Getz, drummer Terry Mask, Bryan Mask and Shawn Lynch.

Rock, country hits at concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - If you missed the performance by the five-member group “Sidewinder” and its country and rock music offerings at the free concert at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Thursday evening, July 31, you can still catch its music at this year’s Richmond Fair as the group will be performing in the arena on the Fair’s Friday night. But for the 250 or so who attended the concert at the Richmond fairgrounds, sponsored by Waste Management in partnership with the city of Ottawa, it was a trip through some of the rock and country music hits of the past. It all began with Sidewinder’s version of Keith Urban’s 2002 song “Somebody Like You,” which spent six weeks at number one and which Billboard named as the number one country song of the first decade of the 21st century. After opening with this country hit, Sidewinder turned to a song made famous by the American rock band Bon Jovi, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.” This was followed by Sidewinder’s version of the Waylon Jennings hit “Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)”

which was originally released in 1977 and rose to number one on the country charts. “I Will Wait,” a hit by the English folk rock band Mumford & Sons, was next. This has been Mumford & Sons most successful song to date and the group sang it at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Sidewinder next turned back to country music, presenting the 2012 song “Cruise” made famous by the American country music duo Florida Georgia Line. This song, with lyrics like “You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise” has become the best selling country digital song of all time in the United States. Sidewinder departed somewhat with its next song, “Sweet Caroline,” a 1969 song by legendary American singer/songwriter Neil Diamond, one of the best selling musical artists of all time. This song, inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s daughter Caroline, is now played at every Boston Red Sox home game. A Canadian touch was added to the concert when Sidewinder played “Nothing But Summer,” a hit by Canadian rock and country singer Dallas Smith. And so it went – song after song, all hit covers. There was “Chicken Fried,” the 2003 song

by the American country/folk band the Zac Brown Band. It ended up being re-recorded in 2008 ad became a hit all over again on the country charts. There was “Sing Me Back Home,” a song associated with American country music singer Merle Haggard and a pair of songs by the Canadian rock band Trooper - “We’re Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)” from 1977 and “Raise a Little Hell” from 1978, a song which got the audience going with some rhythmic clapping. “I Gotta Feeling,” the 2009 song by the American hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas, rang out over the fairgrounds, as did the catching tune “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” from the 2004 album “Horse of a Different Colour” by the American country music duo Big & Rich (Big Kenny and John Rich). “Wagon Wheel,” a 2013 hit for the Old Crow Medicine Show, an American string band, “Joy to the World”, the 1971 hit by Three Dog Night, an American rock band which is perhaps better known for the song’s opening words “Jeremiah was a bullfrog,” and “Sweet Home Alabama,” a signature song for the American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, all entertained the audience. Something a little different

in the performance was Sidewinder’s introduction of Celtic music, singing “Heave Away,” a tune associated with The Fables, a Newfoundland Celtic rock band. And the windup song for the concert was Kid Rock’s 2008 global hit “All Summer Long.” Intermittent inclement weather throughout the day cleared away for the 7 p.m. concert which began in sunshine, although the evening quickly seemed to get cool, more like mid-September than the end of July. But remember – mid-September is when Sidewinder is back in Richmond, playing at the Richmond Fair on Friday night, Sept. 19. A BBQ to raise funds for youth programs in Richmond and for the Hockeyville initiative to make improvements to the Richmond arena was held before and during the concert. During the concert, donations were accepted for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). A second free Thursday evening concert at the Richmond fairgrounds, featuring the group “Ambush,” will take place this Thursday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. Once again, it is being sponsored by Waste Management in partnership with the city of Ottawa.

Municipal all-candidates session in Richmond on Tuesday, Sept. 2 Special to the News

News - The Richmond Village Association (RVA) is organizing a municipal all-candidates question and answer session for Tuesday, Sept. 2 in Richmond. All candidates registered to be on the ballot in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward (Ward 21) for the upcoming municipal election in October are being invited to attend. This includes mayoral, councillor and school board candidates. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, who is running for re-election, has informed the RVA that he will not be in attendance since it is happening before the registration period for candidates ends on Friday, Sept. 12. Mayor Watson’s campaign team is waiting until the close of the

registration period before scheduling mayor Watson’s appearances at any candidates meetings. At this municipal all-candidates question and answer session hosted by the RVA, each candidate will be provided with five to seven minutes for a prepared statement. The floor will then be opened for a question and answer exchange with the audience. A moderator will be engaged to assist with the process. This municipal all-candidates question and answer session will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 2 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena hall at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road in Richmond.

Rezoning wanted for expansion of Henderson Quarry John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Cavanagh Construction is seeking a rezoning to allow expansion of its existing Henderson Quarry on the west side of Jinkinson Road at highway seven west of Stittsville. The lands for which a rezoning from Mineral Reserve to Mineral Extraction is being sought sit immediately west of the existing quarry. The site, which is about 53.1 hectares in size, runs from highway seven in the north to the Trans Canada Trail in the south. The rezoning application is expected to be considered by Ottawa city council’s agriculture and rural affairs committee in September. The rezoning will allow the expansion of the existing Henderson Quarry onto the site, with the plan being that both quarry areas would be

operated simultaneously. The proposed extraction area for the rezoned site would be about 45.1 hectares. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been undertaken regarding the new quarry area. This EIS has conclude that there would be no negative impacts to the adjacent provincially significant wetland and to any species at risk in the area provided that mitigation measures and an ecologically based rehabilitation plan are put in place. There is to be a 50 metre setback between the boundary of the adjacent provincially significant Huntley Wetland and the western boundary of the extraction area of the new quarry area. No development or site alteration will happen in this setback area, with existing natural vegetation being maintained where possible.

Here comes the Big Bike ceive a t-shirt while those who raise $500 will receive a cow bell and be entered in a draw for a cruise valued at $7,500. The cow bell is given as this Big Bike program of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. Jeff Larocque, area coordinator for the Big Bike program for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, notes that the funds raised go towards research as well as to support the use of defibrillators. This Big Bike program, while a physical exercise, is something that any healthy person can do. Indeed, one of the goals of the program is to expose people who may not be exercising much to the thrill and exhilaration of physical activity. It is hoped that this Big Bike experience will set them on a road to more physical activity and better health as a result. The Big Bike experience is also a team-building experience which can be useful for businesses and organizations which value such experiences. In addition, taking part in the Big Bike event is a very public way of showing support for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Mr. Larocque notes that people like to be seen supporting a worthy cause like the Heart and Stroke Foundation and moving along the road in traffic pedaling this Big Bike does draw attention. The Big Bike also has the capability of playing music during a ride and it can be whatever kind of music the participants want.

snake and snapping turtle. That’s why exclusion fencing will be installed along the western boundary of th4e site to prevent the migration of any of these species at risk from accessing the quarry site. Additionally, a worker awareness program will be implemented as a precautionary measure to mitigate the potential for injuring reptiles or amphibians found on or in the vicinity of the quarry site. The existing Henderson Quarry and this proposed expansion area are located in an area where there are already a number of licensed aggregate quarries. These include the Stittsville Quarry (R.W. Tomlinson Limited) and the Bell Quarry (Dibblee Paving and Materials Ltd.) on the east side of Jinkinson Road and the Cavanagh Beagle Club Quarry south of the proposed new quarry area.

The Big Bike is accompanied by police cars on the ride to ensure a safe experience for all – both the Big Bike participants and other traffic on the road. A Big Bike pilot project in Stittsville was tried last year and has led to this larger effort this year. This Big Bike event in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 21 is one of nine Big Bike rides scheduled to take place in the Ottawa area this year. Others are happening at the Kanata Research Park, downtown on Sparks Street (twice), in Manotick, at the Byward Market, on Preston

Street in Ottawa, at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and at Ottawa city hall. Mr. Larocque has set a fundraising goal of $251,500 in total for these nine Big Bike events, part of a nine and a half million dollar Canadian goal. For more information, please contact Jeff Larocque, the area coordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, by phone at 613-7275060, ext. 238 or via email at jlarocque@hsf. on.ca. The Heart and Stroke Foundation wants to help all Canadians enjoy healthy lives, free from heart disease and/or stroke.

News - The Big Bike will be in Stittsville this month. This 30-passenger bike, which weighs 2,000 pounds and has 150 feet of chains and sprockets in its makeup, is a longtime fundraising initiative of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Now in its 21st season, the Big Bike last year attracted over 40,000 riders in more than 200 communities, raising $7 million for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Big Bike will be in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 21 with teams hopefully keeping the bike rolling every 30 minutes from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The event goes ahead rain or shine. The route will begin and end at the Stittsville Sobey’s parking lot. The route, expected to take from 15 to 20 minutes to complete, will see the Big Bike go south on Carp Road to Stittsville Main Street, then north on Stittsville Main Street to Hazeldean Road and then west on Hazeldean Road back to the Stittsville Sobeys parking lot. Among the teams taking part will be a team put together by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and a team representing the Stittsville District Lions Club. One seat on the Big Bike is taken up by the driver but the other 29 seats are for participants. Some of the teams will have a full complement of 29 participants while other teams may have fewer than that. The Heart and Stroke Foundation will provide a sign for the front of the Big Bike identifying the team that is pedaling the bicycle. It could be a team from a particular business or a team representing a community group or association. Participants are expected to raise a minimum of $50 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in order to participate. Those who raise $100 will re-

Special to the News

The EIS suggests that the 50 metre setback from the Huntley Wetland will effectively protect sensitive species that are present within the wetland such as the western chorus frog as well as species that could be present such as the eastern ribbon snake and the milksnake. In addition, the setback will protect the potential turtle breeding habitat of the Huntley Wetland from the impact of the quarry. In addition, representative upland and wetland species will be planted in clusters within the setback area. This would include species such as white cedar, balsam poplar and native willows. This will provide wildlife habitat and will help mitigate dust from the quarry operations. The adjacent provincially significant wetland contains suitable habitat for Blanding’s turtle, western chorus frog, eastern ribbon-

Two Stittsville players off to Canadian softball championships in B.C. Sports - Two Stittsville softball players who gained their love of the game and their ball skills with the Stittsville Minor Softball Association (SMSA) are now off to play in the Canadian Novice Softball Championships in White Rock, B.C. this week. Jesse Duckett and Abbi Woods played both girls house league ball and Stittsville Selects softball in Stittsville. They are now plying with the Napanee Express novice competitive team. This Napanee Express novice competitive team earned a spot in the Canadian Novice Softball Championships in B.C. as a result of the team’s performance in the Novice A provincial championships in Guelph two weekends ago. The Canadian Novice Softball Championships in White Rock, B.C.

are running from Wednesday, Aug. 6 to Sunday, Aug. 10. Jesse Duckett and Abbi Woods, who is a catcher, credit the opportunities that they received through the SMSA as reasons why they love the game and why they are playing at the level at which they are today. They noted the great coaching which they received from Marek Driver and others while playing for the SMSA. Jesse and Abbi and the Napanee Express novice competitive team could use help in financing the team’s trip to White Rock, B.C. this week for the Canadian Novice Softball Championships. The team is facing expenses of $24,000 to travel to this Canadian championship event. A donation site to help out the Napanee Express team has been set up at gofundme.com/c7v2vg for donations.

As a medical oncologist with the regional cancer program and medical lead with the breast disease site at The Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Segal is very familiar with what her patients go through. But what makes her patients relate to her as a doctor – and as a person – is her personal passion for the cancer cause. This year marks the fifth that Dr. Segal will be volunteering as a Ride Guide for Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s largest single day fundraiser for cancer research. Part of her area of research includes exercise and survivorship, but that’s not why chooses to go above and beyond her work at the Hospital. “I’m doing this for my patients,” said Dr. Segal, who added that learning about her participation in the event helps her patients become more comfortable with her.

of the event is to raise funds for cancer research. I’ll do as much as I can for the cause.”

For the doctor, the best part about Ride the Rideau is spotting her patients along the route. “Even though they usually recognize me before I recognize them, I get an incredibly warm feeling when I see patients riding,” she said. “And cycling is a great activity that’s open to everyone – you don’t need a special skill set to ride and you can ride a little or a lot. “I feel so proud about being a part of this cause.” As the signature fundraising event for The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Ride the Rideau has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

Country music singer Brett Kissel at Richmond Fair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - He’s hot and he’s coming to Richmond. Twenty-three year old Canadian country music singer/ songwriter Brett Kissel will be the featured performer at the Saturday night dance at this year’s Richmond Fair. Winner of a Juno Award as Breakthrough Artist of the Year, the first country singer to receive this award in 17 years, Brett has earned two 2014 Canadian Country Music Association Award nominations. After two independent albums, he had his major label debut album “Started With A Song” released last year

through Warner Music Canada. Since this album’s release, Brett has become the talk of Canadian country music. His video for his single “Started With A Song” reached No. 1, he has scored three top ten radio hits and he has toured across Canada. His music is described as an example of the “New Wave of old Country,” with his songs being a slice of real-life sentiment, running the gamut of highs and lows and touching such subjects as deep love, trying moment and poignant reflection. For Brett, these songs are personal, like “Country in My Blood” which is about the

Alberta cattle ranch that has been in his family for over a century. “I write music that’s true to myself, about experiences that I’ve had in my young age,” Brett says. “And it’s my hope that the fans and all the people listening are either touched by it or can escape wherever they need to escape from for three and a half minutes.” Influenced by country music performers such as Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Buck Owens and George Strait, Brett is considered a dynamic and charismatic performer in his own right. Brett has a busy touring schedule this year. In August, he is performing in Eganville,

Brett Kissel Stirling, Sudbury, Huntsville, Lucknow, all in Ontario, and Lewisporte in Newfoundland. Leading up to his perfor-

mance at the Richmond Fair on Saturday, Sept. 20, he will be performing in Edmonton, AB, Barrie, ON and North Hatley, QC. After his Richmond performance, he will be heading out West for October performances in Lloydminster, AB, Victoria, Abbotsford, Kelowna and Prince George, BC, Olds AB, Dawson Creek, BC, Red Deer and Lethbridge, AB and Moose Jaw, SK. Besides headliner Brett Kissel, the Saturday night dance at the Richmond Fair in Richmond on Saturday, Sept. 20 will also see the group “Ridin’ Shotgun” perform. This will all be part of quite a lineup of entertainment at

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren collecting signatures on petition for final report Special to the News

News - Jack MacLaren, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP, thinks that the recently released final report of the Ontario Legislature’s Select Committee on Developmental Services contains many “very good ideas.” Mr. MacLaren was one of 11 MPPs who sat on this Select Committee on Developmental Services which was tasked with making recommendations on how to improve the services and care for intellectually disabled residents of the province. “This final report does an excellent job summing up the wishes of all the people who presented to the committee,”

said Mr. MacLaren. “Parents and caregivers offered many very good ideas that were incorporated into the report.” The report deals with the need for a comprehensive developmental services strategy to address the needs of developmentally disabled children, youth and adults in the province. These in the report include that all the services and care that developmentally disabled people need should be mandated; that these services and care should be made available from cradle to grave; and that all these services and care should be made easily accessible through a one office/one system for life. The Select Committee on

Developmental Services held hearings across the province where it heard from families with developmentally disabled children as well as from other stakeholders. Mr. MacLaren is collecting signatures on a petition at his constituency office at 240 Michael Cowpland Drive, Suite 100, in Kanata asking that all 48 recommendations in the final report of the Select Committee on Developmental Services be adopted by the provincial government. The constituency office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday and everyone is urged to drop in and sign the petition to show support for its recommendations.

Family craft days at Museum Special to the News

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

August 1st, 2014 1518 Stittsville Main Street It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that this week the building at 1518 Stittsville Main Street was demolished. It is unfortunate that this building suffered a fire and needed to be demolished. I am very saddened to see such an important historical piece of Stittsville go. At this time I am not aware of any intentions the landowner has for any future development of the land. Under my request the City’s Planning Department has initiated the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan to produce a vision for the future of Main Street. The plan is anticipated to be approved this fall and you can view the draft guidelines at the below website. The community design plan does include a section for suggested architectural design in the Village Centre Precinct (Along Stittsville Main Street from Andrew Alexander to Elm). http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations/ stittsville-main-street-community-design-plan With any discussions I have regarding the future development of this site I will encourage the construction to include a design to keep with the character of the community and the historical nature of the area. Car Wash for Lauren King raises over $5000! On Sunday, July 27th, a charity car wash was held for Lauren King. The car wash raised over $5000 to help the King family! At this time, Lauren requires a remodelled bathroom so that her Mom is able to bathe her without such physical strain. This requires a lift and hydraulics mounted to tracks on the ceiling. There will be a new shower stall with 2 heads allowing Lauren to roll in to shower, and a new vanity which will accommodate Lauren’s wheelchair to roll underneath. With the funds raised at the car wash, the King family is well on their way to remodelling their bathroom. I would like to thank all of the organizers, the Ottawa Fire Services, and all of the volunteers who made this day a success. I would also like to thank everyone who came out to support the cause. Thank you to the owners of the former Flea Market land for letting the organizing group use their land. Stittsville resident wins Gold at Commonwealth Games! I would like to offer my sincerest congratulations to Erica Wiebe of Stittsville for winning a gold medal in her weight class on Tuesday, July 29th at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Erica was a student at Sacred Heart High School. Wiebe won all four of her matches to capture the gold medal. R0012825639_0807

Another honour for Amsted John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Celebrating its 25th year in business. Impressive. Receiving more awards than any other company from the local home building construction industry. Awesome. Being the first Canadian company to be a finalist in the prestigious Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Priceless. This and more is the story of Amsted Design-Build, founded and headed by Steve Barkhouse with its headquarters in a remodeled heritage barn on Flewellyn Road just outside Stittsville. Being a finalist in the Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award means that Steve Barkhouse and Amsted Design-Build are considered one of the four top companies in North America in the remodeling/custom building industry. The recognition came at the recent Remodeling Leadership Conference in Alexandria, Virginia. “I’m honoured to be the trailblazing Canadian finalist for this award,” says Mr. Barkhouse. “I accept the recognition on behalf of my team – the greatest thing we’ve built in our 25 years in business.” The Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award was created to honour and recognize the entrepreneurial spirit of remodelers and the importance of creativity and innovation to the industry. Nominees were evaluated based on business acumen, financial company strength, community and industry involvement and entrepreneurial spirit. Now in its eighth year, the Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award is modeled after the professional achievements of Fred Case, himself an innovator in the design/build concept in remodeling in the 1970’s. He was instrumental in developing the first certification system for remodelers while chairing the National Education Committee of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry in the United States. But this honour from the Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award is only the latest in a host of awards that Amsted Design-Build has received over the years, starting way back in 1991 when the then-young company won an award for the home that it

built for the late John Laurysen of Laurysen Kitchens, another firm that has been a frequent recipient of awards from the local home building industry over the years. Amsted Design-Build has gone on to receive more awards from the local home building industry than any other company. This has included Renovator of the Year for an unprecedented three consecutive years (2008, 2009 and 2010) and Green Renovation Project of the Year for an equally unprecedented four consecutive years (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011). This has happened, Steve Barkhouse will tell you, because of what he calls the “Amsted Advantage” which is a combination of people and process that is applied to every project that the firm does, whether a custom home, a full-scale renovation or a more modest renovation project. Mr. Barkhouse readily admits that it is Amsted’s team of high skilled designers and highly trained and skilled builders that is why the company has grown and flourished, now employing a staff of 65.

Those on this Amsted team want to make a difference and view projects as more than just “sticks and bricks,” he says, and this is best reflected in the company’s Vision and Mission Statements, as well as its Core Values, all of which are featured prominently at various locations through the firm’s headquarters on Flewellyn Road. The Vision Statement simply reads “We will be the most sought after company in its industry. To be highly respected for integrity, excellence and success. To provide a work environment that is enjoyable and achieves a balance between work and personal time.” The Mission Statement is just as straightforward: “Our Mission must be to exceed the expectations of our customers, whom we define as clients, partners and fellow employees. We will accomplish this by committing to our shared values and by achieving the highest levels of customer satisfaction. In this way we will ensure that our profit, quality and growth goals are met.” The Core Values to which Amsted subscribes include in-

tegrity, excellence, teamwork, respect, trust, loyalty, fulfillment, pride, empathy and progress. Amsted Design-Build tries to involve clients in every step of the design-build process, from assessing alternative solutions to deciding on the optimal design and choice of materials to the final completion of construction. Providing this personalized service is key for Amsted Design-Build. We personalize the project and service to our clients, Mr. Barkhouse says, noting that this approach is done from start to finish in a project, whether it be replacing a window or a high-end major project. He understands that people want their home to reflect their personality and that’s why each project deserves and demands a personalized approach. One way that Amsted Design-Build ensures personalized service is that it has a client centre called “The Amsted Living Room” at the corner of Carling Avenue and Highland Avenue in Ottawa.

renovation projects. Mr. Barkhouse points out that technology in the building and renovation industry is changing every year, with new products always coming out. And innovation is always happening. One is Amsted’s so-called “excellence tool” which Amsted developed out of a need for management to more effectively monitor the daily activities of projects underway. With nothing suitable available on the market, Amsted’s management and production people worked together to develop the firm’s own system which is called “BEASTT” which stands for “budget, estimating, accounting, selection, tracking, template.” It allows for the tracking of a project from start to finish with all aspects of the project represented – sales, design, accounting, production, service and administration. It is online so that information can be updated from the job site or the office. It was implemented in 2012, improving both communication and efficiency and allowing project teams to respond to issues in a timely and informed manner and thus improving client satisfaction. It was a case of Amsted knowing what it needed and wanted and using technology to create it. Amsted now willingly shares this “excellence tool” with others in the industry if asked. Amsted Design-Build considers itself a full service design-build company providing custom homes and renovations. For more information about Amsted, please call 613-836-7434 or visit www.Amsted.ca .

This provides not only a convenient location for clients and Amsted personnel to meet but also is a showcase displaying Amsted’s remodeling capabilities. In addition, it provides a community-focused location for Amsted staff working in that local community. As a result, it has workstations for sales, design and production staff and is used for homeowner educational seminars and community group meetings. It also serves as a base from which Amsted staff can actively participate in local community initiatives and fundraisers. Indeed, Amsted is now opening a second such client centre in the New Edinburgh area of Ottawa to bring these benefits closer to that area of the city. It is being called “The Tailor Shop” not only because Amsted tries to “tailor” projects to the client’s wishes but also because the premises used to be a tailor shop for some 60 years and Amsted wants to respect and honour this longtime use of the site. Being closer to local neighbourhoods and communities such as Westboro, the Glebe and Rockcliffe all stems from Steve Barkhouse’s youth growing up in Stittsville where he saw the importance of being part of the community. He realizes that communities like Westboro and the Glebe have similar community feelings to those in Stittsville and Amsted wants residents of these communities to get to know the firm. These client centres give Amsted a presence in these communities and generates trust in the firm and its work. Amsted Design-Build was founded

in 1989. Steve Barkhouse had just graduated from university in business but economic conditions at the time saw him unable to find employment. His father Fred Barkhouse thought it would be a good idea if Steve started his own construction company, something that Steve recalls he needed convincing to pursue but now says that it was the “best decision I ever made.” Steve had worked summers in carpentry thanks to his father’s involvement with Assaly Construction and so he had the skilled trades training as well as his business education to begin in business. As for the company name, Steve made nine attempts to register a company name but each attempt was rejected as the name was taken. Over a dinner with his parents, the name Amsted was created. Steve wanted something that began with an “A” and here’s how it came together – AM is for Sam who was Steve’s initial partner in the business; ST is for Steve himself’ and ED is for Fred, Steve’s father who was a principal backer and supporter of the enterprise. Indeed, ten years down the road, Steve engaged a marketing firm to come up with a new company name, something better than what had been created over a dinner table. But after researching the matter, the marketing company came back with the opinion that Amsted was a strong name and no change was necessary. And the name continues to serve the firm well in Steve’s view. Over the years, Amsted Design-Build has experienced relatively steady growth, much of it tied to how the economy is performing. Mr. Barkhouse says that the company tries to grow in order to provide more opportunities for advancement for staff as well as to meet the continuing client demand. One opportunity for growth came in the early 90’s as Amsted was doing sub-contract work on an insurance restoration project. Sid Bradley of Bradley’s Insurance noticed Steve working on the project and this led to Amsted working directly for Bradley’s Insurance on restoration projects. The days of sub-contracting for other firms were over. This led to the creation of a sister company, Restore-All Corporation which now does work for a number of insurance companies such as State Farm and is run by Steve’s business partner Kirk Haw. The two companies complement each other as Steve notes that the restoration business seems to be busier when the economy is poor when Amsted Design-Build is not growing as much. In the early 1990’s, Amsted had built in an industrial park off Carp Road, intending to make the premises its headquarters location. But the opportunity arose to lease the facility long-term and that’s when the heritage barn at his parents’ Flewellyn Road home came into the picture. Amsted had been using the barn for storage but it was decided to totally renovate it and it has now served as the firm’s headquarters for 20 years. Mr. Barkhouse likes it not only because he can just hop over to his parents’ home beside the barn on some days for lunch but also he thinks that the location helps keep the company grounded and hopes that being in a heritage barn represents the company well to clients. Indeed, though, when inside the barn, it is very much a modern, well appointed office. It may, in fact, be one of Amsted’s most impressive

Ottawa city council asks province for Places to Grow regional plan Laura Mueller

R0012830516-0807

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Got Events?

News - Commuters from towns outside Ottawa are straining the city’s roads and infrastructure and Ottawa councillors are looking to the province to create a plan for them to help pay those costs. The infrastructure help could come by way of what’s called a Places to Grow plan, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who introduced a motion to ask the province to draft such a plan for eastern Ontario. Ottawa city council recently has unanimously approved his request to send a letter to the province asking for the plan. “What we see in eastern Ontario is that we’ve got a lot of growth in Rockland, Kemptville, Carleton Place and Arnprior – the smaller communities on the outskirts of the city – which very much used to be rural communities, but are now transforming effectively into suburbs of the city,” Blais said. As growth booms in those smaller towns, more people are coming into Ottawa for work and to shop. But the construction of new homes in Carleton Place, for instance, doesn’t send any development-charge money to Ottawa to help pay for the roads those residents will drive on, Blais said. “When we build a big subdivision in Orléans that needs roads and transit to get people to work, we have those mechanisms there, but if they are 10 minutes down the road in Rockland,

we don’t see the same benefits,” Blais said. “We are one region. We need to realize that. Ottawa is the centre and the heart of that region, where most of the employment is and will most likely continue to be for the foreseeable future. We need to plan our region appropriately,” he said. The idea is bound to go over like a lead balloon in some municipalities surrounding Ottawa, councillors agreed. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon confirmed that, saying smaller municipalities already have more challenges and a much smaller tax base than Ottawa. “So they’re crying ‘poor me,’” Gordon said. “Ottawa wants more of the pie... and to hell with the rest of us. Is that fair?” Rural municipalities are the “lifeline” of Ottawa, sending workers into the city to help fill jobs, he said. Gordon said he’s open to discussing common transportation solutions, but anything that would redirect some of those scarce tax dollars away from local projects in the Kemptville area would be a non-starter. Ottawa’s planning committee chairman Peter Hume said while some municipalities in the region will balk at the Places to Grow plan, others might be on board. “If you’re in Rockland, Smiths Falls, Arnprior, you’re probably not going to want one of these,” Hume said. “Further down the 401, in eastern Ontario, it’s a mechanism to create an economic development agency ... So with a growth plan can

come those other structures that help not only in planning but in things like economic development,” he said. Hume deemed Blais’ idea “great,” “fabulous” and “excellent.” He said staff from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs have been “very positive towards the idea” in the past when he has approached them about it. But the idea would need to start with direction from politicians at the provincial level before that staff could actually get to work on it, Hume said. “They need some direction from the minister to say ‘Yes, this is what we want to do,” he said. Through a spokesman, the minister of economic development, employment and infrastructure, Brad Duguid, said he would be open to discussing the idea with Ottawa. “The province would be happy to meet and discuss growth challenges and opportunities in the Ottawa area,” the minister’s spokesman, Patrick Searle, wrote in an email. In Blais’ mind, an eastern Ontario plan would focus on distributing funding for transportation and transit projects in a more regional manner. “GO Transit and the GO train system are prime examples,” Blais said, adding that a regional transit opportunity would be a great amenity to investigate for eastern Ontario. “I think that probably makes a lot of sense as long as everyone is paying their fair share,” he said. Managing transportation and helping pay for roads and transit aren’t the only things a Places to Grow plan could cover. Managing growth, including where residential and commercial development should occur, is another aspect of similar plans created for the Golden Horseshoe and northern Ontario. A Places to Grow plan could also create a more cohesive strategy for servicing, especially water, Blais said. Ottawa’s rural communities are on well water in order to keep development density low and maintain the rural character of the city’s outlying communities. But neighbouring municipalities outside Ottawa’s borders in some cases provide water and sewer services for the entire town. That leads to situations like a business park in Vars, which has less development capacity than the commercial area across the street in Russell that has water service, Blais said. “Our policies between the different municipalities are not always in harmony to properly plan from a regional perspective,” he said. “It’s really about ensuring we’re all playing with the same deck of cards and we’re all looking towards the same common future and really that will lead to a better quality of life for all of us,” Blais said.

News - Capital City Speedway has two special events coming up in September. On Saturday, Sept. 13, the Speedway is hosting Summer Slam. On Saturday, Sept. 27, the Speedway will be hosting Fall Fest. Summer Slam on Saturday, Sept. 13 will see

racing begin at 3 p.m. Featured events will be Twin 25’s Late Model, Dirt Sportsman, Vintage Modifieds, Quebec Vintage Stock Car Series, Thunder Race, Mini Stock, Legends Race (national qualifier), Four For Fun, 100 lap Enduro and Demolition Derby. On Saturday, Sept. 27, Capital City Speedway is holding its first annual “Fall Fest” which will be a 200 lap Enduro stock car race.

The car being towed will not have its motor running but will have a motor in it. It will also have enough power to operate its brakes and steering. This is not a demolition derby style event but rather is a two car race that will go for 20 laps. Regular Wednesday night racing continues

at Capital City Speedway, with the racing getting underway at 7:15 p.m. August will see racing happen every Wednesday – Aug. 6, Aug. 13, Aug. 20 and Aug. 27.
